- Fat Controller: Some jokes are funny, but not this one, James. *You* have caused confusion!
- James: Yes, sir.
- Narrator (UK): ... said James.
- Fat Controller: You will stay in your shed until you are wanted!
- James: The Fat Controller has plans for me!
- Narrator (UK): James was only making this up, but Gordon believed him.
- Gordon: What plans?
- James: Uh, wait and see.
- Narrator (UK): When James' driver returned, James was coupled to the coaches and he puffed away. Thomas returned with the trucks. A few minutes later, Gordon arrived.
- Gordon: Where's the express?
- Narrator (UK): Thomas told him about James.
- Thomas: And, so, here are your trucks.
- Narrator (UK): Gordon was *very* cross, and so was his driver.
- Gordon's Driver: Wait till the Fat Controller hears about this!
