Thomas gets into trouble for crashing into the stationmaster's house and ruining his breakfast. The Fat Controller is very cross with him and tells him that he must go to the works for repairs, and that a diesel will do his work.

Fat Controller (crossly): You are a very naughty engine.

Thomas (muffled): I know, Sir. I'm sorry, Sir.

Fat Controller (calmly): You must go to the works and have your front mended. It will be a long job.

Thomas: Yes, Sir.

Fat Controller: Meanwhile, a diesel rail car will do your work.

Thomas (in shock): A d-d-d-diesel, Sir?!

Fat Controller: Yes, Thomas. Diesels always stay in their sheds 'til they are wanted. Diesels never gallivant off to breakfast in stationmasters' houses.
