- Duck: [misquoting "sagacious"] Hello, Oliver. Are you being a good-gracious engine? Beg pardon of course, but we really don't like this sort of disturbance. Donald and Douglas will miss their turntable until it is mended.
- Henry: [the other engines hear all about Oliver's tale of escaping scrap] Amazing!
- James: Oliver has resource.
- Gordon: And sagacity.
- Percy: What does that mean?
- Thomas: I think it's about being clever and wise.
- Gordon: He is an example to us all!
- Duck: [to Oliver] The branch-line won't be the same without you. Come back soon.
