Thomas & Friends Season 4 quotes

Everyone's been so kind, but my railway is so short and I do miss a good long run.

I think you should tell driver, too. I'm sure he'll understand.

Shunted, and on my own branch too! It's a disgrace!

I'm sorry, I was a special.

Why?

An important passenger arrived just as you left. He ordered a special train and Duck let me take it. We had a splendid run but...

But it can make an engine nervous not to know the line.

Exactly! You're such an expert.

This made Thomas feel much better. He couldn't be cross anymore, and instead began telling Stepney all about his branch line.

Stop!

But Stepney didn't hear them.

[to his trucks] Come along! Come along!

Our one and only ball!

[about steam engines] They have their uses. They can save the wear on a poor cars wheels!

Disgraceful!

Disgusting!

Despicable!

To say such things to us! It's to teach him a lesson he be wantin', now how do we do it?

Hello! You're early! That's one in the headlamp for old diesel.

James says he's sick as boiler sludge and sulking in the shed.

Serves him right for saying we're out of date.

An elephant pushed me, an elephant hooshed me!

First the rain, then an elephant. Whatever will you be afraid of next?

Never mind, Henry. I think you were brave today, and really reliable too.

[singing] Oliver's no use at all, thinks he's very clever.

[inspects Scruffey] As I thought. Rotten wood, rusty frames. Maybe if we put you back together, you'll earn yourself a better name.

You're afraid of getting hurt yourself.

I'm not!

Yes, you are. I don't have stupid cow-catchers, but I'm not frightened. I'd just toot and they'd all go away.

But they don't.

They would with me. Animals run if they toot and look them in the eye.

Even bulls?

Even bulls.

Look, Daisy. I got some sweets, they're called "Bull's Eyes"! I like them. Do you?

[leaves] Aw, keep your old "Bull's Eyes"!

Good evening, you three! Aren't we all a fine sight?

Very splendid, indeed.

Sorry we can't stop. The Fat Controller wants us all together at the station.

What is this about?

The Fat Controller has a plan. Come on.

So they followed the other engines to the Big Sheds at the end of the line. An excited chorus of whistles surrounded the area.

SILENCE! I have an important letter to read from a little girl who is 5 years old.

Dear Thomas and all the engines, please can I meet you? My friends say they would like to meet you, too. You can come to my house for tea, but my mom says there aren't any railway tracks to my house. Can you come to the station instead? Thank you very much!

It seems that there are many girls and boys who would like to meet you. Therefore, we are all going to the big city far away!

Hooray! Hooray!

Silence! Other engines will be working here while you're away, so please show them what to do.

[to Percy] I'm glad the little girl wrote to us. Isn't it wonderful what happiness a letter can bring?

The engines wondered who would pull the Royal Train.

I'm too old to pull important trains.

I'm in disgrace!

He'll choose me, of course.

You?! You can't climb hills! He'll ask me to pull the train, and I'll have a new coat of paint!

Then, the rain came. Henry's driver and fireman covered up their cab to keep dry. A painter was on a ladder above the line. Henry's smoke blew high into the air. The painter couldn't see. Both he and the paint pot fell all over Henry. Paint went everywhere. Poor Henry.

Well, you're not a pretty picture!

The Fat Controller spoke next.

You look like an iced cake, Henry. That won't do for the Royal Train. I must make other arrangements.
