- Narrator: Gordon was feeling grumpy. This was making James cross.
- James: Why are you complaining all the time?
- Gordon: Because I'm a big blue engine and I know everything. I shall complain whenever I want. You're just a small red engine with ideas above your station.
- Percy: [looking up at the sky] I can't see any. Where are they?
- Gordon: Any what?
- Percy: Ideas above the station. The sky's empty.
- James: [laughs] Like your smokebox, Percy.
- Gordon: [to Percy and James; still grumpy] One day I'll show you just what a big engine can really do.
- Percy: So what can a big engine really do?
- Gordon: Not speak to silly little green engines for a start.
- Gordon: [seeing a blank wall at Kirk Ronan Station] What a boring view! Important engines, like me, should have a panoramic view, where I can see people and people could see me
- James: [seeing Gordon break down] Well, well, well. So much for knowing about everything. You got too puffed up in your boiler, so it serves you right.
- Sir Topham Hatt: [after Gordon crashes through the station wall] Well, Gordon. I knew you wanted a panoramic view. But this is not the way to achieve it.
- Gordon: Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
- [last lines]
- Sir Topham Hatt: [to Gordon about the broken wall that has been turned into a panoramic window for him] Your panoramic view is here to stay. I trust you will always see through it, from the safety of your own rails.
