- [Duck is carrying freight cars onto a siding to let Gordon by with the Express, but George the Steamroller blocks his way with Duck's last truck in the way of the Express]
- Duck: Let me through!
- George: I'm too busy. You'll just have to wait!
- Duck: There's no time to wait. I must clear my trucks from the main line to let Gordon through!
- George: Pah! Then he'll have to wait too!
- George: I want to get rolling again, but I've got to wait a whole week till I do.
- Thomas: And then you'll be just as rude as ever, eh, George?
