Charlotte's Web

Avery Arable: Can I have a pig too, Pop? John Arable: [put the jacket on his hook] No, I only distribute pigs to early risers. Fern was up at daylight, trying to rid the world of injustice. [Avery's frog escapes his jacket and jumps all over the breakfast table] Seems to me you've already got more wildlife than you can take care of, Avery.

Wilbur: [singing] Isn't it great, that I articulate?/Isn't it grand, that you can understand?/I don't grunt/I don't oink/I don't even squeak or squawk/When I wanna say a-somethin', I open up and talk! I can talk! I can talk, talk, talk, I can... Old Sheep: Why don't you keep it down? Wilbur: I can talk!

Wilbur: [to a lamb] Wanna play? Baby Lamb: [to an old sheep] May I, Papa? Old Sheep: Certainly not. In the first place, you can't get out of your pen. In the second place, sheep do not play with pigs. Wilbur: Why not? Old Sheep: Oh, it's a matter of status. Sheep, for instance, are highly regarded by Zuckerman, because we furnish him with good quality wool. With pigs, on the other hand, it's just a matter of time. Wilbur: Time till what? Old Sheep: Till you're fat enough to kill. Wilbur: [incredulously] What did you say?! Old Sheep: Oh, everybody knows it. In the fall, you'll be turned into smoked bacon and ham. Just as soon as cold weather sets in, they'll kill you. Wilbur: Ohh! [faints] Goose: Templeton. Templeton: Hmm? Goose: Templeton! Would you do something-umthing - umthing about Wilbur, please? Wilbur: Is it true what the old sheep says? Is that awful thing true?! Goose: It's a dirty-irty trick, but it's true. Wilbur: I don't want to die! I want to stay here in my warm manure pi

Charlotte: Salutations. Wilbur: Salu-what? Charlotte: Salutations. Wilbur: What are they? And where are you? Charlotte: Salutations are greetings. It's my fancy way of saying hello. Look up here in the doorway.

Wilbur: Congratulations! How many are there? Goose: There are seven. Charlotte: Seven is a lucky number. Goose: [proudly] Luck had absolutely nothing to do with it! It was really good management and hard work. Templeton: [looking at a solitary unhatched egg] Why didn't, uh, this one hatch? The Goose: [gloomily] It's a dud, I guess. Templeton: What are you going to do with it? The Goose: [sternly] You can have it! Roll it away and add it to that nasty collection of yours! Be careful! A rotten egg can be a regular stink bomb! Templeton: [patting the egg] I know what I'm doing. I handle stuff like this all the time. [rolls the egg away.]

Avery: Why isn't that gosling with his mother? Fern: Because he likes Wilbur. Avery: Shrimpy little thing. [Jeffrey oinks like a pig at Avery] Sounds more like a pig than a gosling. Avery: [noticing Charlotte] Wow! Look at that big spider! I'm gonna catch it for my collection! Fern: Avery, you leave that spider alone! Avery: That's a fine spider and I'm catching it! What's the matter with you, Wilbur? Fern: He doesn't like you in there. Now, get out! [as Wilbur bursts Avery down, the egg cracks under the pig pen] What did you do, Avery?!
