Cow
- Babe: [relieved that he's alive] Ferdinand!
- Cow: If you're out here, who's that in there?
- Ferdinand: Her name's Rosanna.
- [They watch the Hoggett family carve the roast duck]
- Ferdinand: Why Rosanna? She - she had such a beautiful nature.
- Babe: Oh, Ferdinand...
- Ferdinand: I can't take it anymore.
- Cow: [disapprovingly] Really.
- Ferdinand: The fear's too much for a duck. It - it eats away at the soul! There must be kinder dispositions in far-off gentler lands.
- Cow: The only way you'll find happiness is to accept that the way things are is the way things are.
- Ferdinand: 'The way things are' stinks! I'm not gonna be a goner, I'm gone! I wish all of you the best of luck.
- Rex: [having caught Babe wrecking the farmhouse to help Ferdinand sabotage the alarm clock] It was my mistake. I was trying to loosen things up a little. But no. Today proves that it doesn't work. From now on, we'll all respect the rules. To each creature its own destiny and every animal in its proper place. And a pig's proper place is under the old cart, not in the barn and absolutely never in the house. Is that understood?
- Babe: [reluctantly] Yes, sir.
- Rex: Now, Pig, regarding the company you keep. Being young, it's hard to discriminate, so I'll make it easy for you. I forbid you to talk to or consort with that duck ever. Do I make myself clear?
- Babe: What's consort?
- Horse: It means, young man, that you must not go anywhere near that duck.
- Rex: And as for the fugitive duck, when he shows himself, let him know this, being a duck, he must behave like a duck. No more of this crowing and nonsense. He should accept what he is and be thankful for it. That goes for all of us.
- Cow: Here, here!
- Narrator: Rex continued long into the night. Elsewhere, there was more talk. The subject was Christmas dinner and whether that year the main course would be roast pork or Duck a l'Orange.
