Quotes16

  • Rocky: Easy, pops. Cockfighting's illegal where I come from.
  • Bunty: And where is that exactly?
  • Rocky: Just a little place I call the land of the free and the home of the brave.
  • Mac: Scotland!
  • Rocky: No! America.
  • [Ginger has given a speech about the the advantages of a life free from the Tweedys]
  • Bunty: In all my life I've never heard such a fantastic... load of tripe! Oh, face the facts, ducks. The chances of us gettin' out of here are a million to one.
  • Ginger: Then there's still a chance.
  • [the chickens are panicking]
  • Ginger: Ladies, please. Let's not lose our heads.
  • Bunty: Lose our heads? Aaaahh!
  • Ginger: Think, everyone, think. What *haven't* we tried yet?
  • Bunty: We haven't tried *not* trying to escape.
  • Babs: Hmm. *That* might work.
  • Fowler: Increase velocity!
  • Babs: What does that mean?
  • Bunty: It means pedal your flippin' giblets out!
  • [on finding out Rocky can't fly. Inside joke, see Trivia]
  • Bunty: I knew he was fake all along. In fact, I'm not even certain he was American.
  • [after Rocky leaves]
  • Babs: Perhaps he just went on holiday.
  • Bunty: [grabbing Babs' knitting, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on it] Perhaps he just went to get away from your infernal knitting!
  • Mac: Well, you were the one that was always hitting him. Let's see how you like it.
  • [shoves Bunty]
  • Bunty: Don't push me, four-eyes.
  • [other chickens start fighting]
  • [walking in on a jazz party]
  • Fowler: Now see here! I, I don't recall authorising a hop!
  • Bunty: Oh, shut up and dance!
  • [Edwina has been sent to the chop after she fails to produce any more eggs]
  • Ginger: Bunty, why didn't you give her some of yours?
  • Bunty: I would have. She didn't tell me. She didn't tell anyone.
  • Fowler: Dissension in the ranks. Precisely what Jerry would have wanted. The old divide and conquer A proper squadron work together, just like we did in my RAF days. Jocko at the stick, Flappy at the map... and old Whizzbang at the tail-end Charlie. WingCo would give the call, hop in the old crate, chocks away! Wizard show it was. That's how you get medals.
  • Bunty: Will you shut up about your stupid blooming medals!
  • [slaps the medal from Fowler's hand, sending it into the mud]
  • Fowler: How dare you!
  • [conks Bunty on the head and she groans]
  • Fowler: Madam, forgive me. A-As an officer, I offer my most--
  • [Bunty punches him in the face]
  • Ginger: You know what the problem is? The fences aren't just round the farm. They're up here, in you heads. There's a better place out there, somewhere beyond that hill, and it has wide open places, and lots of trees... and grass. Can you imagine that? Cool, green grass.
  • Hen: Who feeds us?
  • Ginger: We feed ourselves.
  • Hen: Where's the farm?
  • Ginger: There is no farm.
  • Babs: Then, where does the farmer live?
  • Ginger: There is no farmer, Babs.
  • Babs: Is he on holiday?
  • Ginger: He isn't anywhere! Don't you get it? There's no morning head count, no farmers, no dogs and coops and keys, and no fences.
  • Bunty: In all my life I've never heard such a fantastic... load of tripe! Oh, face the facts, ducks: the chances of us getting out of here are a million to one.
  • [Fowler is hesitant about piloting the Crate]
  • Ginger: Fowler, you *have* to fly it. You're always talking about "back in your day"; well, *today* is your day.
  • [extends to Fowler his medal]
  • Bunty: You can do it, you old sausage.
  • Fowler: [stares at the medal for a moment, takes it, and salutes Ginger] Wing Commander T.I. Fowler, reporting for duty.
  • Bunty: We mustn't panic. We mustn't panic!
  • [after a second, she and the other chickens all scream]
  • Ginger: [shows the poster of Rocky to the chickens] This is our way out of here.
  • Babs: We'll make posters?
  • Ginger: What's on the poster, Babs? What's *on* the poster? We'll fly out!
  • Babs: He must be very important to have his picture taken. What do you suppose he does?
  • Bunty: Isn't it obvious? He's a professional flying rooster. He flies from farm to farm giving demonstrations.
  • Babs: Do you suppose?
  • Bunty: Oh, absolutely.
  • Fowler: [walks into the chickens dancing] Now, see here! I don't recall authorizing a hop.
  • Bunty: Oh, shut up and dance!
  • [pulls him into the group]
  • [first lines]
  • Bunty: [Bunty gets stuck under fence due to her size] I'm stuck!
