Tucker: Okay, we can rule out genius. [Franny kicks him] Hey! Franny: Don't make me chew open a can of pony whup. Tucker: Save the sweet talk for later. Franny: [to Stripes] Don't pay any attention to him. Listen, he's all whinny and no-bite. I'm Franny, this is Reggie, and Mr. Sensitive here is Tucker. Tucker: And that old goat there is an old goat. [the door opens] Uh-oh, it's the Chief. Franny: He can be your student, and you can be his cousin. Tucker: I swear, Franny! The more any animal can be funny looking, the more you wanna keep him!

Reggie Dialogue

Dialogue
Just say what you mean, Franny. We haven't spoke in Latin, since the pigs left.
Tucker Dialogue
Franny: Well, would you look at him. He loves to run. It's in his heart! Tucker: Yeah, but that's not enough. Franny: You could train him. Then it would be enough. Tucker: Let me tell you something. The legs are too short, the head's too big, he's got as much chance to race as me. Besides, I have got better things to do. Franny: Oh, go fix your hair. Tucker: I heard that.

Sandy: Um, did you ever consider going around that tree instead of running through it? Stripes: Yeah, well.... usually it moves out of my way. Sandy: [laughs] Uh, I’ve never heard of a tree doing that. Stripes: You don’t know the trees around here. Are you new? Sandy: I just got here. I’m Sandy. Stripes: I’m Stripes. Sandy: [sounding amused] You don’t say? Hmm. Stripes: Are you a racehorse? Sandy: No, I'm-- I'm a jumper. I've actually competed all around the world. Stripes: Well, I'm a racehorse. I'm training to be in the big race. Sandy: By racing the mailman? Stripes: Well, the other horses don't wanna race me. I'm just way too fast for them.
Dialogue
Well, would you take a look at that dump? Old MacDonald has never got a farm, but he sure does have a garbage dump. Not a single drop of water in sight. Not an ocean, not even a bird bath. I'm goin' in.
Goose Dialogue
Tucker: Hey, buddy. You ever try shutting up? Goose: You ever try swimmin’ in cement horseshoes? I’ve taken down punks bigger than you. Tucker: Yeah? What’d you do, talk ‘em to death? Goose: Hey, be careful, pony-boy, or someday somebody's gonna wake up with your head in their bed. Tucker: I should've guessed from the size of that pecker you'd be a big-mouth. Goose: Watch it, stumpy. I'd cut you off at the knees but it looks like somebody's beaten me to it. Franny: All right. Knock it off, you two. Nobody has anything to prove here. Stop it!

Dialogue
Nolan Walsh: Well, I just can't believe that you deliberately disobeyed me. Channing Walsh: I can't believe you took her side. Nolan Walsh: No, I didn't take her side! And don't change the subject! Channing Walsh: Mom would've let me ride on him, you know she would-- Nolan Walsh: You know, don't bring your mother into this conservation! Just don't. Channing Walsh: [finally fed up with Nolan’s whinyness] Why not? At least she would've tried to understand! It's more than I can say for you! [gets out of the truck and mounts on Stripes] Nolan Walsh: Don't get out of the truck. Channing, get back in the truck. Don't do it.
Dialogue
Scuzz: Is he always like this? Tucker: Worse. Much worse.
Dialogue
Buzz: [to Stripes] Hey, Stripes! Check this out. [singing] Ebony and ivory. Scuzz: [singing] Live together in perfect harmony. Both: Side by side on my piano keyboard-- Stripes: Get off me, you stupid flies! Get off! Buzz: Man, "Ebony and Ivory" didn't work. That's a first. Scuzz: Told you we should've rapped. Franny: [to Stripes] Stripes, you know walking away isn't gonna solve anything. Stripes: [rudley, but barked] Who cares? Leave me alone. Buzz: We've gotta get this kid into the race. Tucker: Not a chance. The Chief will never go for it. Franny: Of course he will. Just like somebody else I know. He just needs a little push.
Dialogue
Tucker: Reggie? Reggie: Yes? Tucker: Get off my back.
Dialogue
Sandy: Hey, hotshot! Running into more trees lately? Stripes: Oh, great! More jokes!
Dialogue
Sandy: Because I don't care that you're not a racehorse. You love to run, and that's all that matters. Stripes: Maybe to you. But it's not your problem, Sandy. Sandy: You know, if you wanna see the real problem, try looking down! Stripes: Fine. [looks at his reflection in a lake]
Dialogue
Take it easy on him.
Franny Dialogue
Tucker: Hey, kid, what's your problem? Stripes: I'm not a racehorse. Tucker: What does that mean? Stripes: I don't belong in the gate. Tucker: No, no, you're wrong. And I'll tell you why. Racing is for anyone--Anyone with a fire burning in their heart. Stripes: What do you know, you little nobody? You never raced. Tucker: They're all the same.
Dialogue
Stripes: [to Goose, as Franny munches on some hay] Tucker doesn't understand. He didn't even know that I was a zebra. He doesn't get it. What's he ever done? Goose: Now, let me tell you somethin', kid. I've made a few claims about ponies. This guy's all hair, and no brains. Franny: [to Stripes] That's just about enough out of you, young colt. [to Goose] And, Goose, BANG! Goose: AAAGH! Hit the hay! Franny: [to Stripes] Come here. [to herself] These people think they know everything. You tell somebody something, they get an attitude. Goose: Hey, I didn't know that goat was packed. Franny: Come up here. I want you to take a look up there. You tell me what you see. Stripes: [still upset] I've seen them before; the Chief, my girl, and her mother, and that's it?! Franny: No. Look closer. Stripes: That's Sir Trenton! Franny: And who else? Stripes: Tucker! Franny: That's right - Tucker. He trained Sir Trenton. He and the Chief trained all the winners, and not one of them ever... EVER... thanke
Dialogue
Please, Father, will you chill? Go listen to some baby songs!
Trenton's Pride Dialogue
[to Scuzz] AW! AH! What is that!? I've got a million eyes, and you got every one of them burning!
Buzz Dialogue
Franny: Hello? Where you think you're going? You have a big day tomorrow. You can't go. Stripes: I need to make things right with Sandy. Franny: Hmm. All right. I understand. But listen, a little advice from an old goat. Relationships are like racing. When you do it for love, you’ve already won. Go on, go on.
Dialogue
Tucker: Oh, that's just great. The race is in four hours. Franny: Well, uh, he went out last night, he said he was gonna go find Sandy, and he... Tucker: And, well, Miss Softy, you just let him go, didn't you? [to Goose] Goose, time to earn your keep. Goose: I'm on it.
Dialogue
Sir Trenton: Listen boy, I won this race, my daddy won it, his daddy won it, all the way back to general Trenton, who won the first race a hundred years ago. You get my point? Trenton's Pride: I'll do my best, dad. Sir Trenton: Good, because I want a whole lot of money to buy all the books I like! Sandy: You won't get away with this, Sir Trenton. Sir Trenton: Hush now, little girl! You're interfering with my Mozart. I wonder if he was a thoroughbred. Franny: There's Sandy. Tucker: Yeah, and there's Sir Trenton, all fifteen hundred pounds of him. We'll never get her out of there. Franny: Oh, yes we will. We just need a diversion. Goose: I got your diversion right here. [flies off] Out of my way. Franny: Goose, stick with the plan! Goose: Hey, moron! Up here! Sir Trenton: Huh? Goose: Never side against family! [He tries to defecate on Sir Trenton, but he misses and it hits the concrete] Uh oh! Tucker: [dismayed] Will you remind me again why we brought him?
Dialogue
Scuzz: Yeah, you know, I saw you and I was about to say to my brother Buzz: "I never seen a black horse with white stripes." Buzz: You dimwit! He is obviously a white horse with black stripes. Now, anybody could see that.
Dialogue
Scuzz: Filly? I didn't know she was from Philly. You know, I really like those Philly Cheese Steaks. Actually, I like any kind of cheese. Actually, I like any kind of food from anywhere. Especially candy and poop. What were we talking about again? Buzz: I hate my life.
Dialogue
Channing: Oh, that's just great. Nolan: Oh, come on. [drops motorcycle] Channing: [about the flat tire on the truck] How long will it take to put on the spare? Nolan: Honey, that, that is the spare. (Channing sighs, Nolan notices that the rim is missing) What the--?
Dialogue
Goose: Name's Goose. Tucker: Oh, a pelican named Goose, well my name's Duck. Goose: Duck? Tucker: Duck. Goose: Duck!? Tucker: Goose!
Dialogue
Sandy: Leave us alone, Chawhee. Sir Trenton: You and your foolish friends have accomplished nothing, the effects of the filly do not make you a racehorse! Stripes: You know something, Sir Trenton? I don't want to be a racehorse. I'm a zebra, and I'm going to the big race. Sir Trenton: You fool.
