Thomas & Friends quotes

[sees Emily and The Fat Controller] Now I'm in trouble.

Diesel, where are Gordon's special coaches?!

They're in a siding, sir.

Take Emily there at once!

Yes, sir.

Emily

[sees Diesel sputtering] What's wrong with your engine?

My engine's old. All that rushing 'round has worn it out.

Emily

Then you shouldn't have taken the coaches.

And you should have listened to me!

Emily

Why should I listen to smelly old Diesel?!

Because Gordon's not the only one to set a record. I've set one too.

Emily

Have you?!

I've shunted more trucks in one day than any other diesel!

[sees James decorated] Cinders and ashes!

Look, Thomas! Don't these flags look wonderful on me?

But you pulled the team carriages last year!

And I'm pulling them again this year because I finished all my jobs. I got to the yard first.

It's not fair!

Please, Thomas, can you take the children to the football match for me?

I'm sorry, Bertie, but I have to help James.

I can take your passengers, Bertie, and I can help James too.

Hello, Thomas. What are you doing?

It's Alice's birthday. I want to get all her presents up to High Farm in good time.

Another storm warning, I'm afraid! High winds on the way, and heavy rain! Heavy rain can cause landslides on that hilly route! [leaves]

High winds don't bother me...

...or me. I'll come as your back engine.

No, thank you, Rosie. I can do it on my own.

[seeing Thomas stuck] It's meeeeeee! I'll go and get help.

Wait a minute! Please, will you deliver Alice's presents for me?

Rosie was very happy.

Of course I will!

You were a long time getting here.

You're lucky I came at all. I've got an important job to do later. I'm taking some children to a concert.

Is doing 2 jobs in one day too hard for you?

Pah! I can do more jobs in one day than you can! I'm really useful!

How about a week on petition? I bet I could take coal to the villagers faster than you can deliver it.

Alright! You're on!

James is stuck. He has run out of coal. Now he won't be able to take the children to the concert.

I have to tell you about the hidden coal.

You have caused delay and confusion, but you have told the truth, and a really useful engine always tells the truth.

I'll only be really useful if I could help James.

Why are you so excited?

Can't tell you.

I must tell the other engines about my surprise. Maybe they can help me find the missing trucks before Skarloey finds The Thin Controller.

The admiral is always looking for the lost pirate treasure of Sodor.

Pirates?!

Emily

Treasure?!

Yes, but no one has ever found it. First, find the eagle in the mountains. It's beak will point to the clouds, not in the sky. Then those clouds will lead to the skull and crossbones. And there, you'll find the treasure, me hearties.

Eagle? Clouds? Skull and crossbones? I'm sure I could solve those clues.

I am very proud to declare the new maritime museum open!

[sees the last clue] That's it! The pirate treasure's right here.

Emily

Don't be silly!

Everyone knows it's just a silly old story!

I followed all the clues.

Then you have found the skull and crossbones. Someone get me a shovel.

The pirate treasure will be the most important thing in the whole museum.

Thomas, you have made this the best opening ever!

This year there is to be a holiday poster for the railway, and I need an engine to be on the poster.

I will look wonderful on the poster!

The engine on the Sodor Railway poster will be... Edward!

James, leave the shed now!

James, your racing around has caused confusion and delay.

Yes sir, sorry sir.

It's Edward, and look at James! He's pushing him! Isn't James a grand engine for being so kind?

Even though you weren't the engine on the poster, you are still really useful.
