• Mr. Arable : Fern, I'm really sorry, honey, but it's been long enough.

  Fern : What?

  Mr. Arable : Look, he's not a baby anymore. I can't have you keeping what will soon be a 300-pound pet around the house.

  Fern : No. Can't he stay in the barn? Please, dad?

  Mr. Arable : No.

  Fern : Please?

  Mr. Arable : No. Fern, look. You know I've been selling the animals to get the new harvesting equipment. Pretty soon, there's gonna be no place in the barn for a pig.

  Fern : I promised I'd take care of him.

  Mr. Arable : No. I'm letting you out of your promise.

  Fern : I didn't promise you. I promised Wilbur.

• Fern : What are you doing?

  Mr. Arable : Fern, go back to bed.

  Fern : You're not going to kill it, are you?

  Mr. Arable : It's a runt. Now, go back to bed.

  Fern : No, it's not fair! It can't help being born small.

  Mr. Arable : Careful.

  Fern : If I'd been born small, would you have killed me?

  Mr. Arable : Of course not. A little girl is one thing. A runty pig is another.

  Fern : There's no difference! This is unfair and unjust. How could you be so heartless?

• Fern : But, Dad, I heard them. I heard them talking about the smokehouse!

  Mr. Arable : He's not your pig anymore.

  Fern : Well, I wouldn't have sold him in the first place if I knew this is what they were gonna do to him.

  Mr. Arable : That's what happens to a pig on the farm, Fern. You know that.

  Fern : I'll see about that.

• Mr. Arable : I've got maybe two, or three years before she can out-argue me. Then I'm doomed.
