Goose

[to Templeton] If Wilbur is killed and his trough stands empty day after day, you'll grow so thin we can look right through your stomach and see objects on the other side.

Templeton

The goose was right, this fair is rat's paradise.

Dialogue

Wilbur: [singing] Isn't it great, that I articulate?/Isn't it grand? That you can understand/I don't snort, I don't eep, I don't even squeak or squawk/When I wanna say something, I open up and talk, I can talk, I can talk, talk, talk, I can...

Old Sheep: Would you keep it down?

Wilbur: I can talk.

Old Sheep: 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 to what?

Old Sheep: Till you're fat enough to kill.

Wilbur: 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.

[Wilber asks Goose if she would like to play with him]

Goose: I'm no flibberty-ibberty-gibbit!

Charlotte: Salutations.

Wilbur: Salu-what?

Charlotte: Salutations.

Wilbur: What are they? And where are you?

Charlotte: Salutations is my fancy way of saying hello.

Avery Arable: Can I have a pig too, Pop?

John Arable: I only distribute pigs to early risers, and Fern was up at daylight trying to rid the world of injustice.

[Wilbur is eyeing Charlotte's egg sack]

Charlotte: I'm versatile.

Wilbur: Does "versatile" mean "full of eggs"?

Charlotte: No it means I can change with ease from one thing to the next.

Charlotte: It would serve you right if you had an acute attack of indigestion.

Templeton: My stomach can handle anything.

[Charlotte is looking for a new message to write in her web]

Lamb: How about "Pig Supreme"?

Charlotte: No good. It sounds like a rich dessert.

Goose: How about terrific, terrific, terrific?

Charlotte: Cut that down to one terrific and it will do nicely. I think terrific might impress Zuckerman.

Wilbur: But Charlotte, I'm not terrific.

Charlotte: You're terrific as far as I am concerned.

Charlotte: Does anybody know how to spell it?

Goose: I think it's T double-E double-R double-R double-I double-F double-I double-C, C, C.

Charlotte: What kind of an acrobat do you think I am? It would take me all night to write a word like that into my web.

Old Sheep: I would advise you not to consult geese in matters of spelling. The word is spelled T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C.

Goose: I still think it's prettier spelled T-double E-double R-...

Charlotte: Please! Let me spell it my way.

[The family arrives at the farm to take Wilbur to the fair]

Homer Zuckerman: There he is!

Mr. Arable: That's some pig.

Lurvy: He's terrific.

Avery: He's radiant.

Mrs. Zuckerman: Well, he's clean anyway. That buttermilk certainly helped.

[After the goose's eggs have hatched]

Wilbur: Congratulations! How many are there?

Goose: There are seven.

Charlotte: Seven is a lucky number.

Goose: Luck has nothing to do with it! It was good management and hard work.

Templeton: [looking at a solitary unhatched egg] Why didn't, uh, this one hatch?

Goose: [gloomily] It's a dud, I guess.

Templeton: What are you going to do with it?

Goose: [sternly] You can have it! Throw 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. [Templeton rolls the egg away] MUWHAHAHAHA!!
