Oh, do forgive me for scratching you, dear. I got a bit carried away. It's a cat thing.
Oh, well, but…
Feeling good about tomorrow, are you?
Mm-hmm. It should be all right, I think.
You know, I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm not sure if you realize how much the other animals are laughing at you for this sheep dog business.
Why would they do that?
Well, they say you've forgotten that you're a pig. Isn't that silly? They say you don't even know what pigs are for.
What do you mean?
You know, why pigs are here.
Why are any of us here?
Well, the cows are here to be milked. The dogs are here to help the Boss's husband with the sheep. I am here to be beautiful and affectionate to the Boss.
Yes?
[sighs softly]
The fact is that pigs don't have a purpose. Just like…ducks don't have a purpose.
I—I don't, uh…
Alright, for your sake, I'll be blunt. Why do the Bosses keep ducks? To eat them. So why do the Bosses keep a pig? The fact is animals without a purpose really do have a purpose. The Bosses have to eat. It's probably the most noble purpose of all when you come to think about it.
Pork, they call it. Or bacon. They only call them pigs when they're alive.
[giggles]
The Boss's husband is just playing a little game with you. Believe me, sooner or later, every pig gets eaten. That's the way the world works. Oh, I haven't frustrated you, have I? [chuckles softly]
