Thomas & Friends quotes

[to Skarloey] I'll show you some wonderful new sights, sights you'll never see in the mountains. This will be your big day out.

[after being repaired] This is the best big day out ever!

Are you the famous storyteller?

I like to think so. You must be Thomas the Tank Engine. Will you please show me the sights of Sodor?

Of course!

We didn't visit any sights. I had to take James' passengers to Maithwaite station, Emily's flour to the bakery, and pull Percy out of the water.

But it's a wonderful idea for a story! I should write all about your day, Thomas, and how you helped your friends.

Hello, Emily. My name's Whiff because I'm a bit smelly. You're going to help me collect some rubbish.

Emily

Come on, then. Let's get started.

I've meant to be taken the Duke and Duchess to an important lunch. But my way's blocked by all these smelly rubbish trucks!

Emily

Flatten my funnel!

Someone will have to move them.

Emily

I suppose I'll have to move them. Ugh!

Emily

Can you help me move these rubbish trucks?

Me?! Certainly not!

Emily

Can you help me move these rubbish trucks, James?

UGH! No, thank you!

I'm still waiting.

Emily

If Whiff were here now, he'd be happy to help me. He wanted to be my friend but I wasn't kind to him. I must find Whiff, and say sorry.

Take my carriages and shunt them away.

I will when I shunted these trucks.

I'm faster, shinier, and stronger than you, Thomas. You are just a little tank engine!

There's nothing better than an engine you can rely on! You have saved the day, Thomas!

I still have lots of work to do. Can you help me, James?

Sorry, Percy. It's much more important that I look smart. Now I need to be polished.

James, you are a very hard working and really useful engine.

You're not cross with me, sir. Even though I'm covered in coal dust and quarry dust and fish!

What matters, James? It's that because you helped all your friends and safely delivered your important passenger. Well done!

James was very happy, and his friends all thought James was still the star of the show.

Big, black, strong, and solid!

[eyes Hector] Oh! Do we have to shunt and fill that big truck, Thomas?

Yes, but he doesn't want to be shunted. His name is-

Keep away!

KEEP AWAY!

No, I won't! You are causing confusion and delay! You really are horrid! [biffs Hector, causing him to hit a set of buffers and derails]

[rolls alongside Hector] I'm sorry if I biffed you so hard, but why don't you want to be shunted?

Because I'm scared.

Why?

I'm new, and I'm scared because haven't been filled with coal before. I don't know what it feels like. That's why I didn't want to be shunted.

Out of my way! I've got an important passenger to collect!

You can't get past! I can only go back as fast as the next station, then Donald is in the way.

Maybe all the engines can help.

[to Douglas] Thank you for helping me, today. Even though an important engine like me needs help.

I've seen a spaceship!

Pah! What a silly little engine!
