Quote 1

 * Ringo: Timmy is a tank engine who lives at a big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome. He also has a rather big tooth.
 * Timmy: Hey!
 * (Timmy pulls into the station with coaches where Ed could be seen)
 * Ringo: He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines to take on long journeys. (Ed pulls out with a train) And when trains come in, (in unison, Timmy pulls backwards into the station with coaches) he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go and rest. Timmy thinks no engine works as hard as he does. (in unison, Ed and Eddy puff by with trains) He loves playing tricks on them (in unison, Timmy puffed by pushing a freight car) including Homer, the biggest and proudest engine of all. (in unison, a shot of Homer looking proud and important was shown). Timmy likes to tease Homer with his whistle. (in unison, a shot of Timmy's whistle was shown blowing steam and making Thomas' whistle sound)
 * Timmy: Wake up, ya' lazy bum! Why don't you work hard and get some exercise like me!?

Quote 2

 * Ringo: It was nearly time for the express, people were waiting but the coaches weren't ready.
 * *scene cuts to Timmy puffing out of his shed*
 * Ringo: At last Timmy started.
 * Timmy (in a tired, moaning way): *moans* Bubbles, I want to back to sleep, why did you light my fire? *moans*
 * Bubbles: We need to work, Timmykins.
 * Ringo: said Bubbles. Timmy fussed into the station where Homer was waiting.
 * Homer: Where were you boy?! Get my coaches ready, twerp!
 * Timmy: Aaaah, SHADDUP!!!!
 * Ringo: Timmy said rudely. Bubbles was horrified.
 * Bubbles: *loud horrified gasp* Timmykins, behave yourself!
 * Timmy: *groans* Sorry, Bubbles.
 * Ringo: groaned Timmy. Homer began making his plan to teach Timmy a lesson for teasing him, almost before the coaches had stopped moving, *Homer backs onto his train* Homer reversed quickly and was coupled to the train.
 * Homer: C'mon, c'mon! Get in, I gotta go! *blows his whistle*
 * Ringo: he whistled.

Trivia

Quotes

 * Ringo: One day, Edd was in the shed where he lived with the other engines. They were all bigger than Edd and boasted about it.

 * Ringo: Said Homer
 * Homer: She'll want a strong engine like me.
 * Ringo: But Lisa felt sorry for Edd.
 * Lisa: You poor, poor engine. Would you like to come out today?
 * Edd: Oh, yes! Bless you, Lisa!
 * Ringo: Said Edd. So they lit his fire, made lots of steam and Edd puffed away.
 * (Edd leaves the shed)
 * Ringo: The other engines were very cross about being left behind.

Quote 2

 * Ringo: Edd played till there were no more freight cars, then he stopped to rest. Presently, he heard a whistle. *Homer blows his whistle* Homer was very cross. Instead of nice shining coaches, he was pulling a very dirty freight train.
 * Homer: *loud groan* Why do I have to do all the dirty work?! It's wrong! SO WRONG! Why did Mr. Cena give me this dirty work?!
 * Ringo: He grumbled.
 * Homer: Or maybe I could be something like a donut delivery train. Mmmm...donuts.... *drools*
 * Ringo: Edd laughed and went to find some more freight cars. Then there was trouble.
 * Stationmaster: Homer can't get help the hill! Can you go take Edd and push him please?
 * Edd: Right-O!
 * Ringo: They found Homer halfway up and very cross. Marge spoke to him SEVERELY.
 * Marge: What's wrong with you, Homey?! You're not trying!
 * Homer: It's no use, Marge!
 * Ringo: said Homer.
 * Homer: The loudmouthed freight cars hold me back!
 * Ringo: Lisa came up.

Quote 2

 * Ringo: Then along came John Cena, a person who left the WWE wrestling company to become the superintendent in charge of all the engines on the Island Of Sodor.
 * John Cena: We're gonna pull ya out if you're gonna keep acting this way, Ed. I'm not joking with you, Monobrow.
 * Ringo: But Ed only blew steam at him. *Ed hisses steam at Cena*

Quote 3

 * *Timmy couples up to Ed*
 * Ringo: Timmy pushed and puffed, and puffed as hard as ever he could. But Ed stayed in tunnel.
 * Timmy: C'mon, Lumpy! MOVE!!!! *grunts and groans*
 * Ed: NO!!!! *grunts*
 * Timmy: *groans and pants* The passengers are gonna give bad reviews to their friends about the railway! *stops* (in a tired way) You need to stop this nonsense, Monobrow.... *pants*
 * Ringo: Eventually, even John Cena gave up.
 * John Cena: Usually I never give up (referring to the WWE), but sadly I have to give up here because you are acting as stubborn as a mule. As your punishment we're gonna remove your rails and leave you here until you learn to cope the best you can with the rain.
 * Ringo: So they took up the old rails and built a brick wall in front of Ed so that the other engines wouldn't bump into him.

 * Homer: Woo-hoo! I'm king of the world!
 * Ringo: He said.
 * Moe, Lenny and Carl: Homer, Homer, he's our guy! Down the tracks, you'll see him fly!
 * Ringo: Sang the coaches. In a minute, Homer could see the tunnel where Ed stood bricked up and lonely.
 * Ed: *sobs* It is not fair. Where's the fruity pebble to let me out?! The evil rain has stopped.
 * Ringo: But Ed didn't know how to ask.
 * Homer (to Moe, Lenny and Carl): Guys, watch me scare Ed.
 * Ringo: Said Homer. He was almost there when.
 * (Steam blows in Marge's face)
 * Marge (in unison): WHOA!
 * Ringo: And there was proud Homer going slower and slower. In a cloud of steam. Marge stopped the train.
 * Homer: What the heck happened?!
 * Ringo: Asked Homer.
 * Homer: I don't feel like king of the world.
 * Marge: You burst your safety valves, Homie. You can't pull the train anymore.
 * Homer: D'oh!
 * Ringo: Said Homer.
 * Homer: And I was having the most glorious day of my life! And now Ed's laughing at me!

 * John Cena: We'll soon get you back to work.
 * Ringo: The Professor climbed aboard Timmy and looked in his tank. Then he climbed down.

 * John Cena: Let me see.
 * Ringo: said John Cena. He climbed the ladder, looked in Timmy's tank and nearly fell off in surprise.
 * John Cena: Professor,
 * Ringo: he said.
 * John Cena: I think the solution to the problem in this tank is FISH.
 * Timmy: *loud horrified gasp*
 * Professor Utonium: *gasps* Bubbles, how on earth did those fish make their way into Timmy's tank?!
 * Bubbles: Me and Timmy must've fished them out with our bucket by accident. *sad gasps* I was only giving my Timmy Bear a drink. *cries* (in a crying way) The water tower was out of order!
 * Ringo: cried Bubbles.
 * John Cena: *hugs Bubbles to sooth her*
 * John Cena: Awwww... I know it ain't your fault. People make mistakes.
 * Timmy: I can't believe Eddy was right for once and I didn't heed what he said. *painful groan*
 * John Cena: Just calm down, Timmy. We'll fish them out for you. Fish don't suit you and me and the Professor must get them out before you get any worse.
 * Bubbles: Can I help you guys fish them out of my poor Timmypie?
 * John Cena: Of course, Bubbles. Somehow, I'm holding an extra rod but you can have it if you like.
 * Bubbles: Yay!
 * Ringo: So Bubbles, John Cena, and the Professor took turns fishing in Timmy's tank, while John and the Professor were teaching Bubbles how to do it. The Professor and John even held Bubbles to catch her fall if she fell.
 * Bubbles (catching her very first fish): OOO! OOO! This is a fighty one! *catches fish and grunts* I-I-I think I caught one!
 * John Cena: Great job! Roll it up, Bubble Bass Master!
 * Bubbles: *rolls up the fish* *grunts* (in a groaning way) I-I-I think I've caught him!
 * John Cena: and it seems you did! Congratulations, Bubbles! You caught your first fish!
 * Bubbles: Right out of Timmy's tank?! (excitedly) HOORAY! I'm so proud! I helped my honey and that's definitely my dinner tonight, John! *cheers* I can't wait to have it!
 * John Cena: Don't you worry, Bubbles. We're having a picnic supper later to satisfy ourselves. Climb down quickly and I'll take that fish of the hook for you. *Bubbles climbs down and he takes fish of her hook and throws it into a pail next to the ladder.
 * Ringo: When they've caught all the fish, they had a lovely picnic supper of Fish N' Chips.
 * Bubbles (after she took her last bite of fish): Oh my, I feel sorry for eating the cute little fish, but from now on, I'll never eat fish again.... well, for a while at least--*belches* excuse me. *giggles*
 * Ringo: giggled Bubbles, and climbed aboard Timmy.
 * John Cena (after he ate): Mmmm... that was a great meal.
 * Ringo: said John Cena.
 * John Cena: But fish don't suit you, Timmy. So next time, use another water tower if one's out of order.
 * Timmy: *comfortable sigh* I will.
 * Ringo: said Timmy.
 * Timmy: Engines don't go fishing, it ain't comfortable. *story ends*

Quotes

 * Ringo: Later, Timmy saw the tractor close by.
 * Martin: Greetings, fellow engine! My name's Martin. I'm currently busy plowing this field.
 * Timmy: My name's Timmy and I'm busy pulling this train. What kind of wheels are those?!
 * Martin: Your very observation is incorrect. They're called caterpillar treads. They allow me to go anywhere as opposed to your much-needed railroad tracks.
 * Timmy: Pah! I never wanted to go anywhere anyway.
 * Ringo: Said Timmy.
 * Timmy: I'll stick to my tracks, thank you very much.

Quote 2

 * Ringo: He rushed into a tunnel, thinking how clever he was, but there was trouble ahead.
 * (Timmy blows his whistle rapidly while screaming as he ran into the snowbank.)
 * Timmy: *Spits out snow* *coughs* Augh!
 * Ringo: Said Timmy.
 * Timmy: I'm stuck!
 * Ringo: And he was
 * Bubbles: Puff yourself out, Sweetie!
 * Ringo: Said Bubbles. Timmy tried, but his wheels spun and he couldn't move. Bubbles went for help while everyone else tried to dig the snow away. But as fast as they dug, more snow fell until Timmy was nearly buried.
 * Timmy: Oh man! I'm gonna be stuck here until this stupid snow melts! And I'm gonna freeze my buffers off! Jeepers, I'm such a foolish engine.
 * Ringo: And Timmy began to cry.
 * (Timmy sniffles as tears rolled down his cheeks.)
 * (Bubbles does the same in unison.)
 * Ringo: At last a bus came to rescue the passengers. And then...who should come to Timmy's rescue? But, Martin!
 * Martin: I'll happily have you extracted from the snowbank!
 * Timmy: Snow sure doesn't worry or stop that brainiac.
 * Ringo: He pulled the empty coaches away,
 * Wanda (in unison): Thank you so much, Martin!
 * Cosmo (in unison): Bye, Timmy!
 * Ringo: Then went back for Timmy. Timmy's wheels were clear, but still spun when he tried to move. Martin tugged and slipped and slipped and tugged. And at last, dragged Timmy clear of the snow ready for the journey home.
 * (Martin backs out through the tunnel.)
 * (Then Timmy went back through the tunnel while blowing his whistle.)
 * Timmy: Martin! You saved my buffers!
 * Ringo: Said Timmy.
 * Timmy: I'm sorry I was so hard on you.
 * Bubbles: I hope you'll learn more sense, Timmy.
 * Ringo: Said Bubbles.
 * Timmy: Well, I'll try!
 * Ringo: Said Timmy. And he puffed slowly away.

 * Milhouse: Timmy? Oh, yeah! You're the train that got stuck in the snow. I rescued your passengers while my friend, Martin rescued you from the snow! I'm actually here to help with your passengers today! I guess you weren't getting your passengers delivered fast enough? *chuckles*
 * Timmy: Not getting my passengers delivered fast enough?!
 * Ringo: Said Timmy.

Quote 1

 * Homer: You never get the memo, mini little Timmy. We tender engines are very important to the world. But to shunt our own coaches and go onto those filthy sidings, it's... it's... D'OH! It ain't fair to us. *Timmy and Homer puff away with their trains*
 * Ringo: Timmy chuckled and went off with Cosmo and Wanda.
 * Wanda (while leaving with Timmy): Geez, what a big blue jerk!
 * Homer: *loud groan* THIS IS JUST WRONG!!!!
 * Ringo: hissed Homer as he ran backwards to the turntable.

Quote 2

 * Timmy: Hello, Homeboy!
 * Ringo: said Timmy:
 * Timmy: Is it opposite day? No wonder you're going backwards like us tank engines *laughs*
 * Ringo: Homer said nothing. (Eddy passes by with his train) Even Eddy laughed when he saw him.
 * Homer (Timmy leaves station in unison): Watch yourself, shrimp! You never know if you'll stick!
 * Eddy: Who cares?
 * Ringo: chuckled Eddy.
 * Eddy: I ain't fat like you, Homeboy! I'll stick to that table like a quarter stuck to a sidewalk (referring to "One Of Those Eds").
 * Ringo: Eddy soon puffed onto the turntable. He could now swing easily.
 * Ringo: Homer arrived in time to see everything. Eddy turned much too easy. The wind puffed him round like a top. He couldn't stop!
 * Homer: *laughs*
 * Ringo: laughed Homer
 * Homer: What are you up to little Eddy? Are you playing round-a-bouts?

Quotes

 * John: Ed, come on! Your coaches are waiting for you!
 * Homer: Wait a minute, buddy. Ed isn't going anywhere.
 * Ringo: Said Homer.
 * Ed: Where was I going?
 * Homer: We aren't gonna shunt like puny little engines. That was Timmy's job! We're important and demand more respect! So, YOU find our coaches and WE'LL gladly pull them. Tender trains don't do any shunting!
 * Eddy: Yeah! What he said!
 * John: We'll see about that.
 * Ringo: Said John Cena.
 * John: There isn't an engine on my railway who's too important for small tasks!
 * Ringo: And he hurried away to find Edd.
 * John: *sigh* It just hasn't been the same ever since Timmy left the yard to run his branchline.
 * Ringo: He thought sadly. Edd was shunting.
 * John: Edd, leave those cars please!
 * Ringo: Said John Cena.
 * John: I want you to shunt coaches for me in the yard!
 * Edd: Why, thank you, Mr. Cena. I like a nice change of work.
 * John: I knew I could count on you, Edd. Hurry off now.
 * Ringo: So Edd found coaches for the three engines and that day the trains ran as usual. But next morning, Edd looked unhappy. Homer came clanking past, hissing rudely.
 * John: AAUGH!
 * Ringo: exclaimed John Cena.
 * John: That was an unpleasant and unnecessarily loud noise!
 * Edd: They've been blowing steam at me, Mr. Cena.
 * Ringo: Answered Edd.
 * Edd: They claim tender locomotives don't shunt and last night, they repeatedly called me "Sockhead." My hat's no sock!
 * John: You're absolutely right, Edd. It's a very nice hat, I'm proud of your hard work and tender engines DO shunt. Still, more help is needed around the yard. Another tank engine at that.
 * Ringo: He went to a workshop and they showed him all sorts of engines. At last he saw a smart little red engine with spiky hair.
 * John: You! If I choose you, do you promise to work hard?
 * Bart: Work? But that's no fun.
 * John: If that's gonna be your attitude, maybe I'll pick that Muntz engine I saw before you. He'll probably do a better job than you ever could.
 * Bart: Wait! I'll work hard! I'll work hard!
 * John: That's better. Now, what's your name?
 * Bart: I'm Bart Simpson.
 * John: Great to meet you. Can you give me a lift?
 * Bart: You got it!
 * Ringo: And John Cena brought Bart back to the yard.
 * John: Edd,
 * Ringo: He called.
 * John: This is Bart. Would you mind showing him around?
 * Ringo: Bart soon saw what he had to do. And they had a happy afternoon.

Trivia

 * Bart is introduced to the series in this episode.

Quotes

 * Ringo: Edd had warned Bart.
 * Edd (voice only): Be cautious on the main line, whistle to the signalman so that he could change the switch.
 * Ringo: But Bart didn't remember to whistle, so the busy signalman forgot him. Bart waited and waited. The points were still against him so that he couldn't move, then he looked along the main line.
 * Bart: PEEP!!!! PEEP!!!!
 * Ringo: he whistled in horror for rushing straight towards him... (scene cuts to Homer charging for Bart) was Homer with the express!
 * Kevin: Retreat!!!!
 * Ringo: cried Kevin, but Bart's wheels wouldn't turn quickly!
 * Homer: (Screams) OH MY GOSH! I'M GONNA CRASH! SAVE ME JEBUS!!!!!
 * Ringo: screamed Homer. Bart shut his eyes and waited for the crash!
 * (Homer rolls up to Bart)
 * Ringo: When Bart opened his eyes, he found that Homer had stopped by the buffers a few inches from his own!
 * Homer: What the?! Bart! WHY YOU LITTLE!!!!
 * Ringo: screamed Homer, but suddenly Bart's wheels began to move.
 * Bart: UH-OH! Gotta go!!!! See ya later Homeboy!!!!
 * Ringo: He puffed.

Trivia

 * Kevin (Ed, Edd n Eddy) is introduced in the series as Bart's driver.

Quote 1

 * Ringo: One morning, Ed was feeling very sorry for himself. Sometimes he could pull trains, but sometimes he felt he had no strength at all.
 * Ed: Ed is suffering for I am a lonely number who nobody wants!
 * Eddy: That's a load of loose change, Monobrow! You're as lazy as a bum!

Quotes

 * Ringo: One winter evening, Sid said...
 * Sid: We'll be out early tomorrow. We've got to take the Flying Kipper. Don't tell Homer, but I think if we pull the kipper nicely. John will let us pull the express. The special coal they gave you is working well.
 * Ed: Hooray!
 * Ringo: Cried Ed.
 * Ed: I HAVE ACHIEVED GREATNESS!

Quote 2

 * Ringo: They got out just in time.
 * Ed: Wheeeee! (then he saw the Goods Train) *screams*
 * (Ed crashes into the train.)
 * (Then Ed derailed.)
 * Ed: I'm ok.
 * Ringo: Sid jumped clear before the crash. But Ed laid dazed and surprised.
 * Ed(weary): It's a long ball, coach!
 * Ringo: John Cena came to see him.
 * Ed: It wasn't my fault, Mr. Fruity Pebble! The evil signal did it!
 * John: Don't worry, Ed. The accident wasn't your fault. It was ice and snow that caused it. I'll be sending you to crew today. They'll give you a new shape along with a larger firebox. You'll feel like a whole new engine and the best part is you won't need any special coal anymore. What do you think of that?
 * Ed: I forget...?
 * John: *chuckles* You'll know soon enough.
 * Ringo: Ed liked being at crew, but was glad to come home.
 * Ed: Toot-toot!
 * Ringo: A crowd of people waited to see him arrive in his new shape. He looked so splendid and strong that they gave him three cheers.
 * Ed: Choo-choo! Thank you very much!
 * Ringo: I am sorry to say that a lot of little children are often late for school because they wait to see Ed arrive in his new shape. They often see him pulling the express and he does it so well that Homer is jealous.
 * Homer (in unison): *grumbles under his breath*
 * Ed (in unison): *laughing*
 * Ringo: But that's another story.

Quotes

 * Ringo: Homer was cross.
 * Homer: Why does Ed get a new shape?
 * Ringo: He grumbled.
 * Homer: I'm the important engine here! He goes off laughing his back buffers off to the repairs and comes back saying the stupidest things! IT MAKES ME SICK! And another thing, Ed whistles too much. No engine as respectable as me ever whistles that much or loud at stations. It's no crime, but we just don't do that!
 * Ringo: Poor Ed didn't feel happy anymore.
 * Bart: Forget him.
 * Ringo: Whispered Bart.
 * Bart: It's great to have you home again. I like your whistling.
 * Homer: Goodbye, Ed.
 * Ringo: Called Homer.
 * Homer: It's good to have you back, but remember what I just said.
 * Ringo: Later, Ed stopped at Edd's station.
 * Edd: Good day, Ed!
 * Ringo: Said Edd.
 * Edd: You look most splendid. I was happy to hear your whistle yesterday for the first time in a while.
 * Ed: Aw, thanks, Double D.
 * Ringo: Said Ed.
 * (Whistling heard in the distance)
 * Ed: Shush! Something wicked this way comes.
 * Edd: Why, it sounds like Homer.
 * Ringo: Said Edd.
 * Edd: And it certainly should be Homer, but I've never heard Homer whistle like that.
 * Ringo: It was Homer. He came rushing down the hill at a tremendous rate. He didn't look at Ed and he didn't look at Edd. He screamed straight through the station and disappeared.
 * Edd: Well, I'll be.
 * Ringo: Said Edd.
 * Ed: It is no crime,
 * Ringo: chuckled Ed.
 * Ed: But we just do not...um...GRAVY! *laughs*
 * Ringo: And he told Edd what Homer had said.

 * Bumblebee Man (in unison): Delicioso!
 * Ringo: Said his coaches. Then he saw some boys on a bridge.

 * Ringo: They asked.
 * Sid: You all can keep a secret, right?
 * Passengers: Yes, yes!
 * Sid: All right, when we next cross this bridge, Ed, here will sneeze at those punk kids.
 * Ed (snickering): Oooo, hoo hoo hoo.
 * Ringo: Lots of people were waiting at the station. They wanted to see what would happen.
 * Sid: All right, everyone. Ed has plenty of ashes. So keep all your windows shut until after we've passed the bridge. I bet Ed's the most excited of all of us. Aren't ya, Ed?
 * Ringo: Ed was feeling more stuffed up than excited.
 * Ed (in unison): I feel funny.
 * Ringo: Soon they could see the boys and they all had stones.
 * Ace: Here they come, guys. Get ready.
 * Sid: All right, Ed. When I say now, sneeze like you've never sneezed before! NOW!
 * Ringo: He said.
 * Ed: AAAAAAHHH-CHOOOOOOO!!!!!

 * Ace: Shut up! (punches Snake)

Foreshadowing future episodes and breaking the fourth wall!...Poor Timmy! *cries in her head*
 * Ringo: He looked at Timmy's wheels.
 * Brikowski: You ain't got any side plates, either!
 * Ringo: And he wrote in his notebook.
 * Brikowski: (reading) Any trains going on a public road must have their wheels covered at all times to prevent people and animals from being dragged under if they stumble onto the line. You haven't so you're a hazard to the society! And you, Bubbles are a major OUTLAW!

 * Rayburn: Pardon me, Mr. Cena. I hate to interrupt when you are trying to consume your breakfast, but your presence is needed on the telephone.
 * John Cena: *growls* Why must that telephone interrupt my most important meal of the day?!
 * Ringo: grumbled Cena.
 * *Bubbles chatters on the phone*

 * Ringo: At the station, Bubbles told John what had happened.
 * John Cena: "Hazard To The Society"?!
 * Ringo: he spluttered.
 * John Cena: Don't worry, Bubbles. I'll straighten out that bullying tyrant and tie him to that motorcycle of his. (in his own head) even though I would never do a thing like that.
 * *Eddy blows his whistle as he goes by with coaches*
 * Ringo: But however much he argued with him it was no good.
 * Brikowski: *starts his motorcyle engine in unison* I ain't changin' no law and there ain't nothin' you and Bubbles the crybaby-puff can do about it! *leaves on his motorcycle*
 * John Cena: *sad sigh* Well, it's no use arguing with policeman, despite that policeman is a lawless bully. I'm sorry Timmy, but.... *sad sigh* I'll have to order a set of cowcatchers and sideplates for you tomorrow.
 * Timmy (in unison, blew his whistle): You can't! Everybody will laugh at me and think I'm some kind of tram!
 * Ringo: John Cena stared.... then he laughed!
 * John Cena: Timmy, you just gave me the ultimate idea! Why didn't I think of this before?! We NEED a tram engine to have that verbally-abusive Brikowski fired and arrested!

 * Ringo: Johnny made the silly cars behave even better than Timmy did.

Quote 1

 * George: He was at the next station before he or Lisa realized what had happened. When Homer and Ed heard about the accident they laughed and boasted.
 * Homer: *laughing* You let cows break your train!

 * Homer: They'd never do that to engines like us! We'd show 'em up!
 * George: Johnny was cross.
 * Johnny: You guys think you're so smart?! You guys are just a bunch of bluffers! I don't blame ya' Edd. These clowns have never even met cows. Plank and I have and we know the trouble they are.

 * Marge: Slow down, Homie!
 * George: She said and shut off steam.
 * Homer: What for? It's just a stupid cow. Hey! Scram off, you!
 * George: He moved slowly onto the bridge, but the cow wouldn't shoo. She had lost her brother and felt lonely.
 * Cow: (cries and then moos sadly as she did in "Cow and Chicken") I don't know where I am!
 * George: She said sadly. Everyone tried to send her away, but she wouldn't go.
 * Cow: Oh, why did that mean Fuzzy Lumpkins throw me off that pink-hatted train?! Chicken! Where are you?!
 * George: Ed arrived.
 * Homer: Hee, hee, hee. Ed'll get rid of her. Ed! A mutant cow's on the track! Save us!
 * Ed: Mutant cow?! Do not panic, fellow choo-choo! I will save the day! Be gone, cow! Go, now!
 * Cow: (cries and then moos sadly again, but harder)
 * George: Ed backed away nervously
 * Ed: Retreat! The mutant cow is too strong!
 * George: At the next station, Sid told the stationmaster about the cow and warned the signalman that the line was blocked.
 * Porter: Cow? That must be the cow her chicken brother here is looking for. Bart will take him along.
 * Bart (puffing down the line): Don't worry, dude. I'll get you to your sister.

 * Homer: Afraid?! PFFT! Yeah right!
 * George: Said Homer.
 * Homer: We got rid of that cow piece of cake!
 * Ed: Cake?!
 * Homer: We only stopped because...our...water tanks were low. You got that, little Edd?!
 * Edd: Most certainly, Homer.

 * Eddy: I'M GONNA BE RICH! About time Cena saw things my way. He wants me to be the most important train in the world.
 * (Bart exits the scene)

 * Inspector: Show a wheel, Eddy. You can't stay here all day!
 * Eddy: Cry me a river. Cena told me to stay here. Brat said he said so himself.
 * Inspector: He did not. How could he? He's away for a week!
 * Eddy: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! GRRRR...! WHERE IS THAT TWO-TIMING SQUIRT?! (leaves shed)

 * (Bart enters the scene and Timmy cameos pulling red coaches and blew his whistle)

 * George: Bellowed John Cena.
 * Homer: The boy and the sponge won't move!
 * George: Hissed Homer.
 * John: Spongebob, how do you explain this type of behavior?
 * Spongebob: Understand, Mr. Cena. I'm from a Great Western railway. We always do whatever work we're assigned. But, please understand, Mr. Cena. Bart and I would appreciate if you would tell these three that we only take your orders and not theirs.
 * (Eddy blows his whistle followed by Homer blowing his whistle)
 * John: Cool it!
 * George: Said John Cena.
 * John: Bart, Spongebob, I'm proud of your hard work today, but your behavior tonight is unacceptable. You've created a big scene!

 * John Cena: All right, Plankton, you heard what Spongebob said.

 * Timmy: I think it's the stupidest thing I've heard all day from you for one!

 * George: Trixie said and stopped. Everyone argued with her, but it was no use.
 * Trixie: It's by orders of my Security guards.
 * Driver: What Security?
 * George: Asked the driver.
 * Trixie: My Security guards are very nice people. They'd come by daily and examine me carefully. "Trixie," they'd say "Never, never pull. You were built a rich engine, and your butler says rich engines don't do dirty work. And pulling is bad for a diesel's swerves as highly-sprung as yours" So I'm afraid that's how it is.

 * Stationmaster: Stuff and nonsense!
 * George: said the stationmaster.

Quote 2

 * George: The brake van was in smithereens. Kevin had jumped clear, but Bart was stranded. Next day, John Cena arrived. Johnny and Trixie had helped to clear the wreckage, but Bart remained on his perch of freight cars.
 * John Cena: Because of your accident, we'll now need to try,

 * George: Bart sighed. The freight cars groaned beneath his wheels. He quite understood about awkward predicaments. John Cena spoke severely to Trixie too.
 * John: The trains of my railway always work hard, but you've done EVERYTHING EXCEPT WORK HARD! And lazy engines like you get sent away!
 * George: Trixie was ashamed.

 * George: Next day, Timmy came back.
 * Cosmo and Wanda: YAAAY!!!
 * George: And Bart was sent to be mended. Cosmo and Wanda were delighted to see Timmy again and he took them for a run at once.
 * Cosmo: Can we go to Cherry World?
 * Wanda: Not now nor never!
 * Timmy: *laughs as he pulls out* I missed you guys.

 * George: Said Sheen.
 * Sheen: I know you.
 * Homer: Simpson. Homer Simpson. Who are you?
 * Sheen: I. Am Ultra-Sheen! And I've heard about you! You're a MEGA ultra-engine! But an ultra-engine like me deserves real coaches I call allies, not these ones I call fiends! Are your coaches fellow allies? I guess they are! You and I need to talk sometime. Sorry, I can't chit-chat right now, duty calls!
 * George: Homer was speechless.
 * Homer (in unison): What the-?! Wha?! Huh?!
 * George: Clouds of steam filled the air as Sheen huffed and puffed along the line. He was hoping for a rest, but Libby thought otherwise.

 * Libby: All right,
 * George: Said Libby.
 * Libby: Let's get you back on the tracks and then after, I am SO done with you for today!

 * George: Said Sheen who was lonely and bored.
 * Mac: Apparently, engines who aren't manic or have an "ultra" obsession.
 * George: Replied Mac.

 * George: But Carl was in such a state that he couldn't listen. He collected some coaches and went on his way. But somehow, the faster he wanted to go, the slower the journey became. When Carl finally fussed into the station, Ed was already there.
 * Ed: Tsk, tsk. Do you know how long I have been waiting? If you are late again, I, Ed will leave your people to strand themselves and eat their own body parts in order to survive!

 * Sid: Ed, he's on time you idiot.
 * Ed: Oops, sorry! *goofy laugh*
 * George: laughed Ed. But Katara was still cross.
 * Katara: What in the world were you thinking stranding me at the station? You could've made Aang, Sokka, and Toph, especially Momo (Aang's pet winged lemur) worried sick!
 * George: she scolded.
 * Carl: I'm sorry, pretty girl.
 * George: Carl apologized sadly.
 * Carl: But Ed said he was gonna strand the passengers.
 * George: Katara giggled.

 * Sheen (as he shunted his cars): Take that, you evil fiend!
 * George: The cars didn't like Sheen and wanted to play tricks on him.
 * Homer: No one understands us.
 * George: Sympathized Homer.
 * Homer: If you played sick, you wouldn't even be working with these cars. *chuckles*
 * Sheen: *happy gasp* That is the most ingenious idea EVER! You have my full gratitude, sir! The task shall be done!
 * George: He did so next morning.
 * Sheen: I'm so sick! I feel like I'm dying!! Somebody pour me some soup!
 * George: There wasn't time to examine him. So some of his freight cars were coupled behind Carl's coaches. Jimmy promised to follow with the rest.

Quote 2

 * George: Carl duly waited at the bottom of the slope for the loaded cars. He never bumped cars unless they misbehaved. But the loaded cars couldn't see him properly. They thought he was Sheen. Their chance for trickery had come.

 * George: Wailed Carl. Jimmy was working nearby and came to help clear up the mess.
 * Jimmy: Leapin' Leptons!
 * George: Exclaimed Jimmy.
 * Jimmy: Don't worry, Carl. We'll get you out.
 * George: Carl felt battered. His funnel cracked and his boiler dented.
 * Carl: Gee, *snorty sniff* Thanks, Jimmy.
 * George: He sighed and limped slowly home.
 * Sheen: Whoa, Carl! You really took one for me!
 * George: Said Sheen.
 * Sheen: Those no-good cars would never have penetrated the power of Ultra-Sheen!
 * Carl: You didn't tell me they would attack.
 * Sheen: Hey, I can't keep EVERYTHING in mind!
 * John: You never do. And you can start now by doing Carl's work alongside your own. Maybe that'll teach you the consequences of pretending to be sick!
 * George: Sheen did start thinking...about Homer. When the wreckage was cleared away, Jimmy set off along the line.
 * Tails: Hi, Jimmy. Great to see you again.
 * George: Whizzed Tails.
 * Tails: I was just doing one more thorough search before I turn in for the night.

 * George: Replied Carl.

 * Carl: He's a new train who came to do my work after my big spill.
 * George: Replied Carl.
 * Mac: Does he work hard?
 * Carl (narrating while footage of Willie was shown rocking and rolling with a passenger train): He's a busy worker, I guess. But he shakes when he's rolling on the track. Other times he may swing or make other shaky movements. His driver, Shrek calls it "Scottish Rock 'n' Roll".
 * Mac: Whoa. I totally get that.

Quote 3

 * George: That evening, Mr. Cena spoke severely to Willie.
 * John Cena: LISTEN TO ME! There ain't NOTHING faulty about that tunnel you went through, Willie! And the reason why you jammed it is because you tried to do your so-called "rock n' roll"! Tunnels ain't dance floors, railways ain't concert arenas, and you AIN'T A POP-STAR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!!
 * George: Then Mr. Cena gave his full attention to Willie's funnel.
 * John Cena: If you whine and complain about that tunnel again,
 * George: he said ominously.
 * John Cena: I'm afraid I'll have to end your career on the Island, so far you're on probation for jamming yourself in a small tunnel. So you better start thinking now and do what's best for business. Do I make myself clear?

 * George: He said.
 * Mac: If it wasn't for all these familiar faces and places, I'd feel as though I was on a different railway.

 * Eddy: Man, if that ain't bunk, I don't know what is.
 * George: Said Eddy.
 * Eddy: Anyway, let me tell you about diesels. One came to our railway and tried to overthrow Mr. Cena! But I showed him up and he was vanquished! Piece of cake!

 * Francis: HMPH! You're that Sheen-puff!
 * George: Sheen was standing no nonsense.

 * Driver: The farmer wouldn't like that.
 * George: Tauros sniffed at Trixie.
 * Tauros: *sniffing*
 * Trixie: Eeeww!!
 * George: Said Trixie and that was that. Trixie did no more. Johnny was bemused and amused to see her back in the station so soon.
 * Johnny: Hey, Trixie! I thought bulls always ran for the hills if you blew your horn and looked 'em in the eye!
 * Trixie: Oh, shut up.
 * George: Retorted Trixie.
 * Johnny: Oh, well.
 * George: Continued Johnny.
 * Johnny: We can learn from our mistakes and experiences. I better chase him away for you I guess. (to Plank) Come on, Buddy!

 * Johnny: YEE-HAW! (as he said this, stinky breath from anchovy paste shot out from his mouth in reference to "Shoo Ed" and in unison, Tauros mooed)
 * George: That did the trick. Johnny used his secret weapon a little more.

 * Bart: Kevin says it could be dangerous up there! For the love of humanity, be careful, Johnny!
 * Johnny: Easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, Bart.
