TV show quotes
[after a milk truck has been coupled to her]
Do they expect me to pull that?
Surely. You can pull 1 van.
I won't! Percy can do it! He loves messing about with trucks.
She began to shudder violently.
Nonsense. Come on, now. Back down!
Daisy lurched backwards, she was so cross that she blew a fuse.
Told you!
[having refused to pull the milk truck] It's fitter's orders!
What is?
My fitter's a very nice man. He comes every week and examines me carefully. "Daisy", he says, "Never, never pull. You're highly sprung, and pulling is bad for your swerves". So that's how it is.
Stuff and nonsense!
I can't understand. Whatever made Sir Topham Hatt send us such a feeble...?
Feeble? FEEBLE?! Let me!
Stop arguing! We're late already!
Hello, Percy. I see Daisy's left the milk again.
I'll have to make a special journey with it, I suppose. Anyone would think I had nothing to do.
Tell you what, I'll take the milk. You take my trucks.
My engines work hard. I send lazy engines away!
Daisy was ashamed.
However, Toby says you worked hard after Percy's accident. So, you shall have another chance.
Thank you, Sir! I will work hard, Sir. Toby says he'll help me.
Excellent! What Toby doesn't know about Branch Line problems isn't worth knowing. Our Toby's an experienced engine!
[examine oil left at the scene of the crime] That's diesel.
It's a what'll?
A diseasel, I think. There's a notice about them in our shed.
"Coughs and sneezles spread diseasels."
You had a cough in your smokebox yesterday. It's your fault that the Diseasel came.
It isn't!
It is!
Stop arguing, you 2. Let's go and rescue our trucks.
Bill and Ben were horrified!
But the Diseasel will magic us away like the trucks!
He won't magic us. We'll more likely magic him!
[looks up at Bill] Do you mind?
Yes. I do. I want my trucks, please.
These are mine. Go away!
Bill pretended to be frightened.
You're a big bully! You'll be sorry!
He ran back and hid behind the trucks on the other side. Ben now came forward.
Truck-stealer!
He ran away too. Bill took his place.
It's not fair.
What isn't fair?
Letting branch line diesels pull main line trains.
Never mind, Gordon. I'm sure BoCo will let you pull his trucks sometimes.
Gordon spluttered.
I won't pull BoCo's dirty trucks! I won't run on branch lines!
Why not? It would be a nice change.
The Fat Controller would never approve. Branch lines are vulgar!
What's that?
SHH! It's Gordon.
It looks like Gordon, but it can't be. Gordon never comes on the branch lines. He thinks them vulgar.
Gordon pretended he hadn't heard them.
If it isn't Gordon, it's just a pile of old iron.
Which we'd better take to the scrap yard.
No, Bill. This lot's useless for scrap. We'll take it to the harbor and dump it in the sea.
Gordon was alarmed.
I am Gordon! STOP! STOP!
[Edward struggles to pull his train]
Did you see him straining?
Positively painful.
Just pathetic! He should give up and be preserved before it's too late!
Shut up! You're all jealous. Edward's better than any of you!
You're right, Duck. Edward's old but he'll surprise us all.
[finally puffs out of Knapford] I've done it! We're off! I've done it! We're off!
We've loosened the couplings, Edward. Now you can pick up your coaches one by one, just as you do with trucks.
That'll be much easier. Come on!
The first coach moving helped to start the second and the second helped the third.
I've done it! I've done it!
Steady, boy. Well done, boy. You've got them, you've got them.
And he listened happily to Edward's steady beat, as he forged slowly but surely ahead. At last, battered, weary, but unbeaten, Edward steamed in the big station.
[in Percy's story, a ghost engine runs across the island]
And every year, on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others, plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul!
[cut back to the quarry]
Percy, what are you talking about?
The ghost train. Driver saw it last night.
Where?
He didn't say. Oh, it makes my wheels wobble to think of it!
Ha! You're just a silly little engine. I'm not scared!
Percy's had an accident!
Poor engine! Botheration! That means I'll be late!
They've cleared the line for you, but there's something worse!
Out with it, Toby! I can't wait all evening!
I've just seen something! [stutters] It looked like Percy's ghost! It said it was coming here to warn us!
Ha! Who cares?! Don't be frightened, Toby. I'll take care of you.
[Percy creeps up behind the sheds]
[imitates a ghost] Peep! Peep! Pip-Pip-Pip-PEEP! Let me in! Let me in!
No! No! Not by the smoke on my chimney-chim-chim!
I'll chuff, and I'll puff, and I'll break your door in!
[the doors slowly open]
[whistles as if he were a ghost] WHEESH!
Percy gave a ghostly whistle.
Don't be frightened, Thomas. It's only me!
Your ugly fizz is enough to frighten everyone. You're like...
Ugly, indeed! I'm....
A green caterpillar with red stripes. You crawl like one, too.
I don't!
Who's been late every afternoon this week?
It's the hay!
I can't help that. Time's time, and the Fat Controller relies on me to keep it. I can't if you crawl in the hay until all hours.
Green caterpillar, indeed!
[arrives at the station, covered in hay] Sorry I'm late!
Look what's crawled out of the hay.
What's wrong?
Talk about hairy caterpillars. It's worth being late to have seen you.
[in snow] Help!
Hush! I can hear something.
Probably the wind.
Help!
No! Listen!
Over here!
Och! It's Thomas! Come on! The poor wee engine must be frozen to the frames in there!
