Ferdinand:
Humans eat ducks?

Babe:
[gasping] I beg your pardon?

Ferdinand:
Ah, most ducks would like to forget it, but the fact is that humans like to eat plump, attractive ducks.

Babe:
Ohhh, I don't think so. Not the Boss, not the Boss's wife.

Ferdinand:
Oh, come on. Humans eat cats--why?

Babe:
Well, they're…

Ferdinand:
They're indispensable—they catch mice! Humans don't eat roosters--why? They make eggs with the chickens and hens and wake everyone up in the night.

Babe:
Right…

Ferdinand:
I tried it with the hens; it didn't work. So I turned to clucking, and hello? I discover my gift! But no sooner do I become indispensable than they bring in a machine to do the job? Ohhhh-oh-oh, the treachery of it!—the mechanical roosters?

Babe:
Oh dear me…

Ferdinand:
Oh dear you?! [sighs/quacks] I suppose the life of an anorexic duck doesn't amount to much in the broad scheme of things. But, pig, I'm all I've got?

Babe:
Um…why do you need me to to do it?

Ferdinand:
[sighs/quacks] I'm allergic to cats.

Babe:
Oh.

Ferdinand:
They make me hiccups.

Babe:
Oh. Don't worry, I won't sleep for Duchess.
