Thomas, Salty and others in “Don't be Silly, Billy”

Today, I am to look after a new engine.

That's a special job, me hearty. [sees the engine arrive] Here he is.

I'm Billy. Let's go.

Wait, Billy. We can't go yet. We have to wait for The Fat Controller.

Why?

Because he tells us what we are to do.

Billy, you have a very busy day. First, you must take empty chicken vans to the farm and bring chickens back to the docks. Then, you are to deliver diesel fuel to the quarry, and lastly, you have to take coal to the depot.

Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

Thomas, you must show Billy how to be a Really Useful Engine.

Billy, you must pull the chickens slowly and smoothly.

I know that!

Don't pump your pistons before you are ready to leave. It wastes coal and water, and first you must take on enough coal and water for a busy day.

Thomas! Stop telling me what to do! You are a very bossy engine!

He thinks you're a bossy boiler, me hearty.
