Thomas & Friends Season 1 quotes

At the station, Thomas' driver told the Fat Controller what had happened.

Dangerous to the public, indeed! We'll see about that!

The Fat Controller spoke to the Policeman. But however much he argued with him, it was no good.

The law is the law, and we can't change it.

The Fat Controller felt exhausted.

I'm sorry, Driver. It's no use arguing with policemen. We will have to make those "cowcatcher" things for Thomas, I suppose.

Everyone will laugh, Sir! They'll say I look like a tram!

The Fat Controller stared, then he laughed.

Well done, Thomas! Why didn't I think of it before?! We need a tram engine! When I was on my holiday, I met a nice little engine called Toby. He takes trucks from the farms, but the lorries are taking over most of his work and he needs a change. He has cowcatchers and sideplates. I'll write to his controller at once.

[eyes Toby and Henrietta] Ugh! What dirty objects!

At last, Toby lost patience.

[offended] James, why are you red?

I am a splendid engine. Ready for anything. You never see my paint dirty.

Oh! That's why you once needed bootlaces, to be ready, I suppose.

Look here, Percy. Whatever is that dirty object?

That's James. Didn't you know?

It's James' shape. But James is a splendid red engine, and you never see his paint dirty.

James pretended he hadn't heard.

[in his sleep] It's really tiring to be such a large and splendid engine. One does have to keep up appearances so.

Peep-Peep-Peep-Peep! Hello, Fat face!

What cheek! That Henry is too big for his wheels. Fancy speaking to me like that. Me, who has never had an accident!

Aren't jammed whistles and burst safety valves accidents?

No, indeed! High spirits- Might happen to any engine. But to come off the rails like Henry did, well I ask you, is that right? Is it decent?

[on the phone] So Gordon didn't want to take the special train and ran into a ditch?! What's that you say? The special's waiting? Tell Edward to take it, please. And Gordon, leave him where he is. We haven't have time to bother him now.

PEW! What a funny smell! Can you smell a smell?

I can't smell a smell.

A funny, musty sort of smell.

No one noticed it 'til you did. It must be yours.

Not long ago, he had fallen into a dirty ditch. Thomas enjoyed teasing him about it.

Annie, Clarabel, do you know what I think it is? It's ditch water!

[after falling down the mine] Fire and smoke! I'm sunk! Oh, dear! I am a silly engine!

[smiles] And a very naughty one, too. I saw you.

Please get me out. I won't be naughty again.

I'm not sure. We can't lift you out with a crane. The ground's not firm enough. Hmm... Let me see... I wonder if Gordn could pull you out.

[nervously] Yes, Sir.

It's always the same before Christmas. We feel so full! We feel so full!

Oh, come on! Where's your festive spirit? Christmas Day is almost here!

Ha! Just look at us. Your driver will have to work fast to get you as smart as us.

Never mind that. I have something important to say. Do you realize it's been a whole year since Mrs. Kyndley saved us from a nasty accident?

You remember, when she was ill and bed, and...?

Yes, of course. You told us how she waved her red dressing gown out of her window to warn you about a landslide ahead.

And you and Toby gave her presents. And the Fat Controller sent her to Bournemouth to get better.

Exactly! So, now I think we should all give her a special Christmas party.
