Thomas & Friends quotes

Hank looks as strong as a giant.

I'm sure he isn't stronger than a Sodor engine.

Now, Thomas, I have three jobs for you. First, you must take new machines from the docks to the factory. Then, you are to pick up stone from the quarry and deliver it to the shunting yard. And lastly, you must pick up an old tractor from Farmer McColl's and take it to the repair yard.

Yes, sir.

And you must take Hank with you. Hank must see the important sights of Sodor. Be back by teatime for Hank's welcome party at Knapford.

[buffers up to the machine cars as Hank puffs alongside him] Hello!

[cheerfully] Howdy, Thomas! Now you look like one of the finest little engines I've ever seen.

Howdy, everybody. Thomas is overloaded right now. I'll whistle for him!

'Hello, Toby! Why you looking at old tin cans?

Jeremy cannot land at the airport, and my mother is on board. The storm has blown some metal tanks across the runway. You must collect Trevor from Farmer McColl's. Take him to the airport so that he can clear the runway. Then Jeremy can land.

Emily

Oh, yes, sir. Excellent Emily can do it.

[puffing in alongside her] I'm going to Farmer McColl's too. Lots of lines are flooded. Take the Wellsworth track.

Emily

I'm not going on that track. It's much quicker to go through the forest. I'm Excellent Emily. I can make it through.

[has his cab fixed with a special birthday flag to celebrate Mr. Percival's twins' birthday before Mr. Percival came to see him] Shall I pick up the twins now?

No, Duncan. This year, I am giving them a ride in a hot air balloon for their birthday. Duncan, you must collect the hot air balloon from the transfer yards.

[disappointed] Yes, sir. [chuffs away, sadly]

Thomas, this is Flora. She's the new steam tram on Sodor.

[sweetly at Thomas with a sunniest smile] Hello, Thomas.

Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. I took a shortcut, but I got lost.

Huh! I never get lost. I know the railway better than any other engine.

[to Gordon and Stanley] Some very important passengers and a group of workmen are waiting at Great Waterton. The first engine to arrive will pick up the very important passengers. The second will collect the workmen.

I need to get coal and water. See you at Great Waterton, Gordon! [chuffs cheerily away]

[seeing a bridge up ahead] Hooray. That must be the Great Waterton bridge.

Are you lost?

Would you like some help?

No, thank you, I'm not lost. [chuffs quickly away; becomes more worried that his shortcut is taking too long; sees another bridge up ahead] Hooray. That's the Great Waterton bridge.

I'm sorry, Stanley. This was all my fault. I wanted to take a shortcut. I wanted to pick up the very important passengers. But now I want you to collect them.

Those cars look heavy. I could help you.

No, thank you. I can pull these trucks on my own, Rheneas. I'm stronger than you.

No, you're not.

Oh, yes, I am. [gets an idea] We'll put the cars between us and pull our hardest. The strongest engine will pull the puppet show special.

I'm sorry, sir. I was–

You are causing confusion and delay! The Duke and Duchess have no wood, straw bales, or eggs. Now I see you have them all here. Cranky is broken and you, Thomas, think it's a good time to try being a bird!

This is the finest statue I've ever seen!

And the cleanest!

Emily

Cinders and ashes! You're bright pink, James! [laughs]

Fizzling fireboxes, James! You're a big pink engine! [laughs]
