• [Mrs. Arable is worried about Fern spending time only with her animal friends] 

  Dr. Dorian : Does she look well?

  Mrs. Arable : Yes.

  Dr. Dorian : Appetite's good?

  Mrs. Arable : [affirmative]  M-hm.

  Dr. Dorian : Does she sleep well at night?

  Mrs. Arable : Yes. I mean, she's right as rain in that way.

  Dr. Dorian : Well, there is a name for her condition. It's called a childhood phase. And, sadly, it's something she'll grow out of.

• Mrs. Arable : [Fern was about to be on her way to Wilbur]  Fern, you are not going to see that pig again. It's too late.

  Fern : But he's expecting me.

  Mrs. Arable : And I'm expecting you to finish your homework and go straight to bed.

  Fern : But, mom, I always tell him good night.

  Mrs. Arable : Not tonight.

  Fern : He can't sleep if I don't.

• Mrs. Arable : Fern, you know better. It's a pig, okay? It's not a toy, not a doll, not a baby. A pig. And you need to start treating it like one.
