Thomas & Friends Season 3 quotes

Hello, Trevor. Why are you dozing there like an old stick-in-the-mud?

I'm not dozing. I'm resting.

Then he told Bertie about the vicar's party.

I'll be there, too. I'm not sure people will want to ride on an old traction engine after traveling in a smart, red bus like me.

[sees Bertie stuck in the mud] I'm the one who has to plow fields. We'd better get you out of here!

Hello, Trevor. You look as bright and cheerful as my red paint.

Oh, I am.

What's that noise?

It's the bees. They're all in these boxy things called beehives. I'm taking them to the station. The Vicar says his bees make good honey and he's giving some of them to his friends.

Just then, BoCo the Diesel Engine hummed in.

Take care, you two. Don't make the bees angry. They might sting you.

James didn't like being told what to do by a diesel, and he buzzed away.

I remember the first time I met those two. They nearly made my eyes pop out. Edward soon put a stop to their games.

Edward is the only one who can keep Bill and Ben in order. I sometimes call them the bees.

A good name. They're terrors when they start buzzing around.

James bustled in.

What's that, Duck, are you afraid of bees? They're only insects after all, so don't let that buzz-box diesel tell you different.

His name is BoCo, and he didn't. We–

I wouldn't care if hundreds were swarming around! I'd just blow smoke and make them buzz off!

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

[lands] Wakey-wakey!

I'm looking at the boats.

That's the regatta. Lots of boats. Lots of races. Great fun. I hover around in case I'm needed.

Do you go to the horizon?

Yes, and beyond.

I didn't know there was a beyond.

Do you go to other places at sea?

Certainly. I can land on ships, you know. Anywhere, anytime. [flies off] Goodbye!

Duck still wonders about the lands beyond the horizon. But I think he knows that sometimes, the best travels are those we can only dream about. Don't you?

I was here first!

But you're in my way! You'll have to back up again.

I won't!

You will!

I won't!

The Fat Director came to stop the noise.

If you don't behave, I shall not allow you here again.

All this grumbling spreads bad atmosphere in the yard.

You're quite right. And that's why I've come up with a plan.

I wouldn't drink too much of that water if I were you, Gordon. It might give you boiler-ache.

Pah! What's this? Educating Gordon Day?! First James, and now you, Duck! Big engines have big needs. Little engines are just annoying.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[disappointed after hearing Diesel's remark the day before] I'm not happy!

I know. It's boiler-ache.

It's not boiler-ache. It's...

Of course, it is. That water's bad. Have a good washout, then you'll feel a different engine. Your boiler must be full of sludge.

Don't be vulgar!

Trevor and I are old friends, and you and he have a lot in common too.

Aye, and what would that be?

Scrap.

Don't mention that word! It makes my wheels wobble!

It does the same to Trevor. He was being sent to the scrap yard, but the vicar and I saved him, and now, he's really useful again. Even so, the Fat Controller certainly does need another steam engine here.

Aye, he does. And quickly!

Aha! A Great Western engine, and a brake van, too. You can't take these!

Aye! But they're all for us. See for yourself.

The foreman looked all over Oliver.

Seems in order. Right away, guard!

That was a near thing.

We've had worse.

Amazing.

Oliver has resource.

And sagacity.

What does that mean?

I think it's about being clever and wise.

He is an example to us all!

I'm sorry, Sir. I should've listened to Duck's advice. I don't feel... "good gracious", or whatever it is. I just feel silly.

Well, Oliver, now you know the damage trucks can do.

Yes, I do, Sir. I look like a load of scrap iron.

[laughs] Oh, I don't think so! But you do need to go to the works to be mended.

Stupid nonsense. I wouldn't have brought them if I'd known. I'd have had a breakdown or something.

I'm glad you didn't. You'd have spoiled their fun.

Bah! Enjoyment is all you engines live for. One day, railways will be ripped up!

Duck felt shocked at such an idea.

We have a friend called Bertie, and he's a bus, but he likes the railway. Sometimes he teases us about it, but he'd never wanna see it ripped up!

Hmph! I know Bertie. He's too small in size to be of any use. [leaves]

Duck took no notice.

That bus is silly.
