    • Quotes

      James: [grumbling] Why should a splendid red engine, like me, take messy coal trucks instead of coaches? Percy or Oliver should do it. They're not as important as I am!

      Thomas: [crossly] James, why don't you think about something or someone else for a change? You'd be surprised on how much better you'll feel if you do!

      James: Oh please! Being important is the only thing for me to think about!
