Thomas & Friends quotes

[picking up the pipes] This is going to take me a very long time!

We have to get through. Why don't you go and get Rocky?

No, no! Harvey is doing a fine job! We must be patient!

Emily

I don't like being patient! We have a very important job to do!

I can't lift Gordon. He's too heavy.

Edward, we need Rocky!

New-fangled nonsense!

But Edward knew this was a disaster, and he knew that Harvey couldn't lift Gordon. There was only one thing to do.

[leaves the junction] I'll go and get Rocky.

Hello, Spencer. What are you doing on Sodor?

I am to pick up Sir Topham, Lady Hatt, and the Duke and Duchess of Boxford. They are waiting at Kellsthorpe station. I am to take them to a very important tea at the Scottish castle.

[disappointedly] Why can't I take them in Annie and Clarabel?

Because you are a small engine and small engines get small jobs! I am a big engine, and big engines get big jobs!

I can go faster than the wind!

Nonsense!

[growing very cross] I'll race you to Kellsthorpe station! Then we'll see!

Sometimes going slowly is as good as going fast!

[honking impatiently] It's time to go, it's time to go!

We haven't finished our jobs.

But we have to leave now! I can't be late for Sir Topham!

It was all my fault for hurrying you, but I can take you back to put them right, and this time I won't rush.

I'm going to wish to be grander!

I'm going to wish to be redder!

I'm going to wish to pull the mail forever and ever!

Never to have to work with Diesel again, or never wearing my snowplough, or never having to pull smelly fish!

I wished you would come home safely!

Thank you, Percy! Both of our wishes came true!

Farmer McColl needs lots of bricks, iron, and concrete. I need a strong engine to fetch them.

I can do it, sir!

You're not as strong as I am. I'll do the jobs, sir.

Gordon, you can do it. Henry, you can deliver the empty trucks.

Empty trucks?

Never mind, Henry. We know you're big and strong.

You can pull 10 trucks of sand, couldn't you?

Yes, I could.

Emily

You could pull 20 trucks of coal.

I suppose so.

You could pull 50 trucks of iron and steel because you're "Big Strong Henry".

"Big strong Henry"?! What nonsense!

You'll see.

Pah!

Look, Henry! If Gordon sees you pulling 5 heavy trucks, he'll see just how strong you are!

Put those trucks back! Those are for Farmer McColl! I'm collecting them later!

He's not as strong as you are!

[at the scene of the accident] Toby, you must go to the yard to be repaired.

If I don't take the sticky toffee to the party, the children won't be able to make toffee apples.

Please, sir, I could take the sticky toffee to the party.

Very well. [firmly] But no more trying to be in fancy dress!

[while still at the airport] Oh no, I've been daydreaming! And now I'm late.

[after Skarloey jumps] Fancy jumping at a silly old crane! Scaredy little engine!

Skarloey felt very upset, and smaller than ever.

James was only teasing.

Scaredy engine! Scaredy engine! Clickety-clack! Don't come back!

Maybe I am a scaredy little engine.

Clickety-clack! Look who's back! The scaredy engine's on our track!

I am NOT a scaredy little engine! And If you biff me, I'll biff you back so THERE!

OOH!

I've never seen such a big snowman!

Neither have I.

[sees Thomas with the snowman balloon] Thomas! What are you doing with a balloon attached to your buffers?
