A scene from Babe 1995
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. Duchess, the Hoggetts' cat? Why?

Babe

Well, they're…

Ferdinand

They're indispensable—they Fly's puppies? You eat chickens—why? They make eggs with the chickens and the hens and wake everyone up in the morning.

Babe

Right…

Ferdinand

I'm tired to with the chickens and hens; it didn't work. So I turned to quacking, 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 Duchess.

Babe

Oh.

Ferdinand

They make me sneeze.

Babe

Oh. Don't worry, I won't sleep to Duchess.
