Quotes

• Matt: Mr. Conductor. Did you hear the news?

Mr. Conductor: Yes, I'm afraid I have, Matt.

Tanya: What's wrong with Shining Time Station?

Mr. Conductor: The railroad thinks it's old fashioned. Yes, old fashioned. Just like my friend Trevor.

Matt: What happen to Trevor?

Mr. Conductor: Well, I'll tell you the story, because he has a sad beginning, but a happy ending. Maybe it can cheer us all up.

• Mr. Conductor: Now, I think it is getting time for me to leave.

Matt: Not yet. Please, not yet.

Mr. Conductor: Now, let me tell you both something. (he removes his hat and dries his forehead with his hankerchief) No matter what happens, we will always be friends.

Tanya: Promise?

Matt: Promise?

Mr. Conductor: It's a promise! Good-bye, now. Good-bye. (he leaves without his hat)

Tanya: Wait! You forgot your hat.

Matt: It's too late. Now he's gone forever.
