- Henry: [Peter Sam arrives late at the station] This won't do, youngster. I can't be kept waiting. If you are late tonight, I'll go off and leave your passengers behind.
- Peter Sam: [as Henry leaves] Pah.
- Peter Sam: [Peter Sam arrives back just in time] Hurrah!
- Henry: Not bad, youngster.
- The Refreshment Lady: [crossly; to Peter Sam] What do you mean by leaving me behind?
- Peter Sam: I'm sorry, Refreshment Lady. But Henry said he might leave without us.
- The Refreshment Lady: [laughs] You silly engine. Henry was teasing you. He wouldn't have gone without our passengers. He's a guaranteed connection.
- Peter Sam: [annoyed] Well! Where's that Henry?
- Narrator (UK): But Henry had chortled away.
