• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Was Rex a champion?"
• (Miriam Margolyes) "He had the makings of the greatest champion there ever was. But it wasn't to be."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "What happened?"
• (Miriam Margolyes) "A while back, when Rex was in his prime, the winter rains brought a great flood to the valley. Rex and the Boss got most of the flock onto the high ground. Then Rex went back to look for the strays. He found them. They'd been stranded by the rising water. He tried to herd them across to safety, but they wouldn't budge. Too scared and too stupid to save their own skins. It was freezing cold and the water kept rising. Rex stayed with them right through the night. By morning, the sheep were drowned. And when they found Rex, he was barely alive."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Oh, Mum."
• (Miriam Margolyes) "Two weeks' rest in front of the fire saw him back on his feet, but his hearing was never the same again. He'd never want anyone to know, but -- he's almost totally deaf."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Is that why he's so; you know; angry?"
• (Miriam Margolyes) "That's not the half of it. All this was barely a month before the Grand National Challenge. He tried his best, but he couldn't hear the Boss's calls, and it slowed him up. The cold truth is that, but for the stupidity of sheep, Rex would've been the champion of champions."

• (Danny Mann) "'The way things are' stinks. I'm not gonna be a goner, I'm gone. I wish all of you the best of luck."

• (Christine Cavanaugh) "This is ridiculous, Mum."
• (Miriam Margolyes) "Nonsense. It's only your first try. But you're treating them like equals. They're sheep; they're inferior."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Oh, no, they're not."
• (Miriam Margolyes) "Of course they are. We are their masters, Babe. Let them doubt it for a second and they'll walk all over you."
• (Hugo Weaving) "Fly. Get the pig out of there."
• (Miriam Margolyes) "Make them feel inferior; abuse them, insult them."

• (Cat) "You know, why pigs are here."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Why are any of us here?"

• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Yes?"
• (Cat) "The fact is that pigs don't have a purpose. Just like, ducks don't have a purpose."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Uh, I; I don't, uh --"
• (Cat) "All right, for your own 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 that animals that don't seem to have 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."

• (Hugo Weaving) "All the greater the insult."

• (Christine Cavanaugh) "I beg your pardon?"
• (Danny Mann) "Ah, most ducks prefer to forget it, but the fact is that humans like to eat plump, attractive ducks."

• (Danny Mann) "Oh, come on. Humans don't eat cats; why?"
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Well, they're --"
• (Danny Mann) "They're indispensable: they catch mice. Humans don't eat roosters; why? They make eggs with the hens and wake everyone up in the morning."
• (Christine Cavanaugh) "Right."
• (Danny Mann) "I tried it with the hens: it didn't work. So I turned to crowing, and lo. 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; a mechanical rooster."
