- Diesel: Your worthy Fat...
- Duck: Sir Topham Hatt to you!
- Diesel: Your worthy Sir Topham Hatt thinks I need to learn. He is mistaken. We diesels don't need to learn; we know everything. We come to a yard and improve it. We are revolutionary.
- Duck: Oh? If you're revo-thing-amie, perhaps you would collect my trucks while I collect Gordon's coaches.
- Duck: [Diesel shunts the wrong trucks for Duck] Thank you for arranging these, Diesel. I must go now.
- Diesel: Don't you want this lot?
- Duck: No, thank you.
- Diesel: [Gulps] And I've taken all this trouble. Why didn't you tell me?
- Duck: You never asked me. Besides, you were having such fun being rev- whatever it was you said. Goodbye!

- Diesel: Ruugh! Gruugh! Ruugh!
- Troublesome Trucks: [to "Pop Goes the Weasel"] Trucks are waiting in the yard, / Tackling them with easel, / "Show the world what I can do" / Gaily boasts the diesel. / In and out he creeps about, / Like a big black weasel. / When he pulls the wrong trucks out, / Pop goes the diesel!
