Thomas & Friends Season 2 quotes

Hello, Thomas. You look splendid.

Yes, indeed. Blue is the only proper color for an engine.

Oh, I don't know. I like my brown paint.

I've always been green. I wouldn't wanna be any other color, either.

Well, well, anyway, blue is the only color for a really useful engine. Everyone knows that.

Percy said no more. He just grinned at Toby.

[watches the hopper load coal into Percy's trucks] Careful. Watch out with those silly trucks.

Go on! Go on! Go on!

And by the way, those buffers don't look very safe to me.

The last load poured down.

HELP! I'M CHOKING! GET ME OUT!

Percy was worried, but he couldn't help laughing. Thomas' smart blue paint was covered in coal dust, from smoke-box to bunker.

Ha-ha! You don't look really useful now, Thomas. You look really disgraceful.

I'm not disgraceful. You did that on purpose. Get me out!

Fancy allowing cows to break his train!

They wouldn't dare do that to us. We'd show them!

Toby was cross.

You couldn't help it, Edward. They've never met cows. I have, and I know the trouble they are!

Some days later, Gordon rushed through Edward's Station.

Poop, Poop! Mind the Cows! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry!

What's this? A cow? I'll soon settle her. Be off! Be off!

Moo!

Henry backed away nervously.

I don't want to hurt her.

Peep-Peep! We're late! Where is Thomas? He doesn't usually make us wait.

[sings] Oh, dear. What can the matter be? Johnny's so long, and...

Never you mind about Johnny. Just you climb on the cab and look for Thomas.

Can you see him?

No. There's Bertie Bus in a tearing hurry. No need to bother with him, though. Likely, he's on a coach tour or something.

[to the passengers, after his second attempt to catch up to Edward has failed] I'm sorry.

Never mind. After him quickly. Third time lucky, you know. [to the driver] Do you think we'll catch him at the next station, Driver?

There's a good chance. Our road keeps close to the line, and we can climb hills better than Edward. I'll just make sure.

He spoke to the stationmaster. Bertie and the passengers waited impatiently.

Yes. We'll do it this time.

Hooray.

I'm going to the scrap yard today.

What, already? You're not that old.

Hello, Edward. You look upset. [to the driver] What's the matter, Charlie?

There's a traction engine in the scrap yard, Vicar. He'll be broken up next week. Jem Cole says he never drove a better engine.

Do save him, sir. He saws wood and gives children rides.

We'll see.

Edward is impossible. He clanks about like a lot of old iron, and he is so slow, he makes us wait.

Thomas and Percy were indignant.

"Old iron"? Slow?

Why, Edward could beat you in a race any day.

Really? I should like to see him do it.

[to the fireman] Two boys were on James' footplate, fiddling with the controls.

Whew.

They tumbled off and ran when James started.

The signalman answered the telephone.

Yes. He's here. Right. I'll tell him. [to the fireman again] The inspector's coming at once. He wants a shunter's pole and a coil of wire rope.

What for?

Search me. But you'd better get them quickly.

I do like to keep busy all the time, and I do like company. Especially children's company.

Cheer up. The Fat Controller has work for you at his new harbor. I'm to take you to meet Thomas today.

Oh! The harbor! The seaside! Children! That will be lovely!

Now I understand how useful a traction engine can be.

The coaches were full of children. Trevor gave them rides along the harbor. He liked this best of all.

He's very kind.

He reminds me of Thomas.

Show a wheel, James. You can't stay here all day.

The Fat Controller told me to stay here. He sent a message this morning.

He did not. How could he? He's away for a week.

Oh. Oh! Where's Percy?

Percy had wisely disappeared.

I say, you engines, I'm to take some trucks to Thomas' junction. The Fat Controller chose me especially. He must know I'm a really useful engine.

More likely, he wants you out of the way.

Gordon looked across to James. They were making a plan.

James and I were just speaking about signals at the junction. We can't be too careful about signals, but then, I needn't say that to a really useful engine like you, Percy.

Percy felt flattered.

We had spoken of backing signals. They need extra special care, you know. Would you like me to explain?

No, thank you, James. I know all about signals.

Hello, Percy. You look tired.

Yes, Sir. I am, Sir. I don't know if I'm standing on my dome or on my wheels.

You look the right way up to me. Cheer up. The new engine is bigger than you, and can probably do the work alone. Would you like to help build my new harbor? Thomas and Toby will help.

Oh, yes, Sir! Thank you, Sir!
