Thomas Stories

 * 1) Pop Goes the Diesel (George Carlin, Heartthrob Hamster)
 * 2) Oliver's Find (Alec Baldwin, Astronuts)

Quote 1 from Heartthrob Hamster

 * Squeeks: Now I see who Sir Galahad really is. He is not a good hamster
 * Nature Cat: No, he’s not, Squeeks.
 * Mr. Conductor: I couldn’t said it better myself. In fact, from my point of view, I believe Sir Galahad did sound and act a lot like Diesel when he first came to the Island of Sodor.
 * Squeeks: Who’s Diesel?
 * Nature Cat: And what did he do, Mr. Conductor?
 * Mr. Conductor: You mean I haven’t told you guys about Diesel? I suppose I haven’t. Very well. (He blows his whistle and the story, Pop Goes the Diesel begins)
 * After the story...
 * Squeeks: Wow... the way Diesel acted really was just like Sir Galahad.
 * Nature Cat: Yes indeed, Squeeks. And we need to bring Sir Galahad to justice.

 * 2) The Diseasel (Follow Those Footprints)

Thomas Stories

 * 1) The Runaway (George Carlin, Breezy Rider)
 * 2) Haunted Henry (Alec Baldwin, Swamp Thing)

Quote 1 from Swamp Thing

 * Daisy: Ahem, oh, Nature Cat? This way.
 * Nature Cat: Oh, right! No, I was just going to circle back around and meet up with you on the other side, but I suppose I-- Hey, wait for me! (runs and catches up with Mr. Conductor)
 * Mr. Conductor: Nature Cat, I must say so that you certainly are very terrified of Swamp Thing and being here at the swamp to find it.
 * Nature Cat: Honestly, Mr. Conductor, I really am. Have the engines on the Island of Sodor ever faced anything like this?
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, there was the time when Henry encountered something scary and mysterious on an old line in the dark once. I’ll never forget it. Neither will he. I’ll tell you all about it. (He blows his whistle and the story, Haunted Henry begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: I certainly am glad and relieved that Henry’s mystery has finally cleared up and he is not spooked anymore.
 * Mr. Conductor: Yes, but I think you need to face your fears and help the others finding out Swamp Thing being real or not.
 * Nature Cat: Well, the truth is, I’m still scared of doing this and Swamp Thing.
 * Mr. Conductor: You just have to try, Nature Cat, or else you and your friends will never figure out this mystery. (runs off after Daisy, Hal and Squeeks)
 * Nature Cat: Well, I must admit you are right, Mr. C, facing my fears is more important and being brave is an important thing about me, but I suppose I-- (notices Mr. Conductor catching up with the others) Hey, wait for me!

Thomas Stories

 * 1) Bulgy (George Carlin, The Treasure of Bad Dog Bart)
 * 2) Faulty Whistles (Alec Baldwin, Pet Sounds)

Quote 1 from The Treasure of Bad Dog Bart

 * Nature Cat: Wait-- I mean, let's not be rash. After all, Bad Dog Bart is a bad dog, and, uh, kind of a cat.
 * Daisy: But think how amazing it would be to find all the stolen toys and bones and return them all.
 * Nature Cat: True. Very compelling argument, Daisy. It's just that his name is "Bad Dog Bart", so he must be pretty bad.
 * Mr. Conductor: Yes indeed and I think that Bad Dog Bart has been playing the Bully Game.
 * Nature Cat: Um, what’s the Bully Game?
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, you see, there are some people who push other people around because it makes them feel important. It’s a mean sort of game that bullies play.
 * Nature Cat: And Bad Dog Bart is incredibly mean. But now I was thinking, aren't there any other bullies besides Diesel on the Island of Sodor, Mr. Conductor?
 * Mr. Conductor: Oh yes, Nature Cat, even on the Island of Sodor besides Diesel. I think it's time I told you about Bulgy. (He blows his whistle and the story, Bulgy begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: So just like Bad Dog Bart, Bulgy really did steal all those passengers from Duck?
 * Mr. Conductor: He sure did, Nature Cat, and he did lie and he did make fun of the engines and that's another way of being a bully.
 * Nature Cat: Yes, and both Bulgy and Bad Dog Bart got what they deserved after the bad things they have done. But now after that story, I still don’t think I want to find that stolen loot at all.

Thomas Stories

 * 1) James Learns a Lesson (Cave Conundrum)
 * 2) Henry and the Elephant (Daisy's Colossal Fossil)

Trivia

Thomas Stories

 * 1) Tender Engines (There's Gold in Them Thar Hills)
 * 2) Thomas and Bertie's Great Race (Nature Cat and Mr. Hide)

Quote 1 from There's Gold in Them Thar Hills

 * Nature Cat: You’ve been hoping to find gold ever since you started that collection!
 * Mr. Conductor: And it’s good that you’re not being too greedy about gold, Squeeks. I remember a time when Gordon and Henry are greedy of wanting more tenders once because of the visiting Flying Scotsman and it was pretty upsetting for them both, I’ll tell you that.
 * Squeeks: What happened to Gordon and Henry then?
 * Mr. Conductor: I’ll tell you all about it. (He blows his whistle and the story, Tender Engines begins)
 * After the story…
 * Squeeks: Well, that’s good for Gordon, but poor Henry. I do feel sorry for him.
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, Henry really brought on himself, didn’t he? He got all excited about the extra tenders before he knew they really were. He let himself get carried away.
 * Squeeks: It’s a good thing, I am not greedy or selfish like Gordon and Henry. I have a heart of gold.
 * Nature Cat: You sure do, Squeeks!

Quote 1 from Nature Cat and Mr. Hide

 * Nature Cat: Yes, I am a little nervous.
 * Daisy: You'll be fine, Nature Cat.
 * Mr. Conductor: Daisy's right, Nature Cat. You certainly won't win with that attitude. Imagine if Thomas had felt like that in his famous race against Bertie.
 * Nature Cat: Did Thomas win? Oh, please tell me that story, Mr. Conductor.
 * Mr. Conductor: I will! (He blows his whistle and the story, Thomas and Bertie's Great Race begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: I really am glad that Thomas won the race. It took a lot of guts and speed to beat that little red bus Bertie.
 * Mr. Conductor: Yes indeed, Nature Cat. And after the race, Thomas and Bertie became ever faster friends. Get it? That’s a joke. Race, faster friends.
 * Nature Cat: Yeah, but I’m still nervous.
 * Mr. Conductor: Nature Cat, I knew you can win that Neighborhood Hide 'N' Seek Championship, Cat Edition. You’ve been training and practicing for this so hard and you’ve have got what it takes.
 * Daisy: Mr. Conductor's right, Nature Cat.

Thomas Stories

 * 1) Rusty to the Rescue (George Carlin, Where Have All the Butterflies Gone)
 * 2) Toby Had a Little Lamb (Alec Baldwin, For The Birdies)

Quote 1 from For The Birdies

 * Nature Cat: Ah, birdies are such majestic creatures. I wish there was something I could do to show my appreciation for these fine feathered friends of ours.
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, Nature Cat, you can be helpful to the birds just like how Toby was really helpful when he went to save the lambs that are stranded in a terrible snowstorm.
 * Nature Cat: Intriguing. Tell me more.
 * Mr. Conductor: You know, Nature Cat, I’d be happy to tell you more! (He blows his whistle and the story, Toby Had a Little Lamb begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: That’s so wonderful that Toby really cares for the cute little lambs and really helps and saves them from the stormy winter weather. I wish I can do the same thing, only for the birdies.

Thomas Stories

 * 1) Percy Takes the Plunge (George Carlin, Stream and Shout)
 * 2) Stepney Gets Lost (Alec Baldwin, Hal's Day Off)

Quote 1 from Hal's Day Off

 * Nature Cat: Never fear, Hal! We’re here to save-- you?! (gasps) Where's Hal?!
 * Mr. Conductor: Oh dear, oh my, oh dear!
 * Squeeks: Hal!
 * Daisy: Man, oh man, where'd he go?
 * Mr. Conductor: I don't know, but I just hope that Hal will be careful all by himself out here in the big city, it can be very dangerous out here and you never know what kind of dangers can lurk out here in the city. Stepney learned about that once.
 * Nature Cat: Really? What happened to Stepney?
 * Mr. Conductor: I suppose I'll tell you guys about when Stepney Got Lost. (He blows his whistle and the story, Stepney Gets Lost begins)
 * After the story...
 * Mr. Conductor: So as you can see, Hal must best be careful here in the big city, otherwise he'll end up like what almost happened to Stepney.
 * Daisy: Yeah! At least, he won't get scrapped by diesels!
 * Nature Cat: Now that really was a very scary story, Mr. Conductor and I thought Stepney was almost done for!
 * Squeeks: Me too!
 * Daisy: Me three! But now where did Hal go?

Thomas Stories

 * 2) Train Stops Play (Travelin' Seeds)

Thomas Stories

 * 1) Foolish Freight Cars (Ants Revolution)
 * 2) Henry to the Rescue (Tide Pool Tough)

Quote 1 from Ants Revolution

 * Hal: Oh, I just love ants! Don’t you?
 * Mr. Conductor: I do like ants, but I just do hope they won’t like the Foolish Freight Cars that are causing trouble on the Island of Sodor.
 * Hal: Foolish whats?
 * Daisy: What are you talking about, Mr. Conductor?
 * Nature Cat: They are causing trouble for one of the engines one time?
 * Mr. Conductor: Let me tell you three about it and you will find out. (He blows his whistle and the story, Foolish Freight Cars begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: Whoa ho-ho-ho!
 * Daisy: At least, James was able to stop them.
 * Hal: But these ants won’t like Foolish Freight Cars, right?

Quote 1 from Tide Pool Tough

 * Mr. Conductor: (appears with his surfboard) Having troubles, Nature Cat?
 * Nature Cat: Yes I do, Mr. Conductor. (sings the song “The Surf Is Up” and sighs as it ends)
 * Mr. Conductor: I see, Nature Cat. You still have your lifetime fear of water and it was preventing you from surfing with Hal, Daisy and Squeeks.
 * Nature Cat: (sighs sadly) Yep. Hey, can’t you use your magic to get rid of my fear of water?
 * Mr. Conductor: Being afraid is one of those things that can’t be magiced away. We have to face our fears and overcome them. Even engines are scared sometimes.
 * Nature Cat: You mean when Henry the big green engine was afraid of the rain?
 * Mr. Conductor: Exactly.
 * Nature Cat: Is there really a happy ending to his story when he got bricked up in that tunnel?
 * Mr. Conductor: Yes indeed. Why don’t I tell you all about it? Maybe it will help you forget about being afraid of the water. (He blows his whistle and the story, Henry to the Rescue begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: Henry got of the tunnel and he wasn’t afraid of the rain anymore!
 * Mr. Conductor: That’s because he learned there was nothing to be afraid of and because he had some help from his friends.
 * Nature Cat: Speaking of help, thanks for Henry’s happy ending, but I’m still afraid of the water. So I think it’s not helping me. I’m sorry.
 * Mr. Conductor: That’s OK, Nature Cat. We’ll just have to think of something else of how to overcome your fear of the water.
 * Nature Cat: Yeah, but how? (sighs)

 * 2) James in a Mess (George Carlin, Ze Worm Whisperer)

Quote 1 from Ze Worm Whisperer

 * Nature Cat: Worms? Why it'd have to be worms?
 * Mr. Conductor: Say, Nature Cat. Is something the matter? You must be scared and grossed out when you're around the worms and hearing the word "worm".
 * Nature Cat: Well, between you and me, Mr. Conductor, I really am scared of worms and I mean, really scared!
 * Mr. Conductor: But worms are nothing to be scared of and grossed out about, Nature Cat. Like your friends said, worms are good for the soil.
 * Nature Cat: I know, but I really dislike them. I really find them yucky, dirty and slimy and stuff like that.
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, Nature Cat, if I don’t know any better, you're acting and sounding just like James when he was really rude to Toby and Henrietta about being dirty, only to ending up himself covered in tar.
 * Nature Cat: How can James and I have the same problem and what do you mean covered in tar?
 * Mr. Conductor: Let me show you what I mean. (He blows his whistle and the story, James in a Mess begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: Mr. Conductor, did you think I'll end up like James did, you know, maybe I'll crash into some tar wagons and get covered in tar?
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, not exactly. But I have a feeling you'll get turn around like James did.
 * Nature Cat: You mean, like James stopped being mean and grossed out about Toby and started to be nice to him.
 * Mr. Conductor: Exactly, and I think that once you did that, you would overcome your dislike of worms and help your friends and ze Worm Whisperer find more of them for Daisy's new garden.
 * Nature Cat: Uh, I don’t know.
 * Mr. Conductor: You just have to try, my friend. (disappears)
 * Nature Cat: (to himself) No I won’t.

Quote 1 from The Groundhog Way

 * Nature Cat: What am I gonna do now? I can't let the neighborhood animals down!
 * Mr. Conductor: Well, if I were you, Nature Cat, I'd be really wise about predictions about everything.
 * Nature Cat: What do you mean, Mr. Conductor?
 * Mr. Conductor: Because all of this reminds me of what happened to Skarloey when he caught in an avalanche by some freight cars and managed to survive it.
 * Nature Cat: How could Skarloey make predictions about that and how did he survive it?
 * Mr. Conductor: Let me tell you what happened and you will find out. (He blows his whistle and the story, Snow begins)
 * After the story...
 * Nature Cat: You were right, Mr. Conductor. The predictions about that avalanche really did all came true and I’m glad that Skarloey survive it thanks to that igloo around him. But how am I going to predict about the weather?!

Quote 1 from Star Gazers

 * Nature Cat: Not on our watch, Shirley! The Star Gazers will help you get home.
 * Shirley: Really?
 * Mr. Conductor: That’s true, Shirley, and asking for help is always a smart thing to do, think what would have happened to Oliver if he didn’t ask Douglas for help.
 * Shirley: I have two questions: First, who are Oliver and Douglas and second, how did that go?
 * Nature Cat: I think you should listen and let him tell you what happened, Shirley.

 * Nature Cat: What kind of record that Gordon is trying to break?
 * Mr. Conductor: It was the Famous Visitor’s world record of going 100 mph, Gordon tried to beat his record, only to have his dome blown off.
 * Nature Cat: Really? How did all that happen to Gordon?
 * Mr. Conductor: I was about to tell you about it, Nature Cat. (He blows his whistle and the story, Gordon and the Famous Visitor begins)

 * Nature Cat: True that, Mr. C.
