Dialogue

Spencer: Dear, oh, dear! It only takes 2 engines to push and pull 1 flatbed and freight car. I'm pulling 5!

---

Gordon (furiously at Spencer): Thomas is NOT a toy!

Edward (crossly at Spencer): He's a REALLY USEFUL engine!

James (angrily at Spencer): And he's VERY strong!

---

Spencer: Is this what have you been doing, Thomas, making a heap of scrap for the smelter's yard?! Because that's the only thing that this engine’s good for. The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt will make sure of that.

Gordon: I'll race you to Maithwaite, Slowcoach Spencer. I'll win.

Spencer: [gasps] Oh, no. You won’t, Gordon. I'll win.
