Charlotte: What kind of an acrobat do you think I am? It would take me all night to write a word like that into my web.
Old Ram: I would advise you not to consult geese in matters of spelling. The word is spelled T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C.
Goose:(annoyed) I still think it's prettier spelled T double-E double-R double-R double-I...
Charlotte: Please! Let me spell it my way.
Templeton is sent to find words to use on the web and comes across "Crunchy". Charlotte turns it down for fear that Zuckerman might start thinking about bacon.
Wilbur attempts to make a web by tying a fairly short piece of string on his tail and jumping off a mound.
Henry Fussy follows his strict mother's order to put Wilbur down, just for the piglet to run wild in the house.
Twice when Wilbur faints, Templeton bites his tail and the pain revives Wilbur. Priceless!
And when it looks like he's about to do it for a third time, Charlotte snaps at Wilbur, getting him to stop.
Charlotte: Wilbur, I forbid you to faint!
When the Old Ram demands Wilbur to struggle as they put him into the crate.
Old Ram: Listen to me, when they open the crate to put you in, struggle. Pigs always resist when they're being loaded.
Wilbur: If I struggle, I'll get dirty!
Old Ram: Never mind. lf you were to walk into the crate without resisting, Zuckerman will think there's something wrong with you.
Templeton: [poking his head from out of the crate] Well, struggle if you must. But kindly remember, I'm hidin' down here, and I don't wanna be stepped on, or kicked in the face, or crushed, or bruised, or lacerated, or scarred or biffed. Just watch what you're doin' when they're shovin' ya in, Mr. Radiant.
Templeton's night out at the fair. He is truly in hog heaven, stuffing himself with everything he can find, and by the end of the night he's become so fat that he can barely move. In the original story (and the 2006 film), he actually becomes obese permanently, growing huge from eating first from Wilbur's slop as well as yearly binges at the fair.
This exchange after Templeton brings back another writing sample:
Templeton: "With new radiant action."
Charlotte: What does it mean?
Templeton: How should I know? I suppose the next thing you want me to fetch is a dictionary!
2003 DTV Sequel
Templeton's bratty kids making everything about raising them a living hell for him.
When Cardigan and Wilbur become friends, the rest of the sheep continue to make fun of Cardigan behind his back upon seeing the two playing together, leading to this ironic exchange:
Snotty Lamb: (scoffs) "What does he think he is, a pig?"
Bully Lamb: "Well, he sure doesn't have the smarts to be a sheep!"
(The flock laughs.)
Basically anything that comes out of Bessie's mouth.
Towards the end of the film, Wilbur and Cardigan are shown eagerly eating slop. Wilbur comments that he was so hungry that he could've eaten a horse, which offends the horse in the next pen over.
Templeton: [shrieks, startled] Oh, you're a pig. Pig equals slop. Hmm. The Rat is happy!
Wilbur: My name's Wilbur. Do you have a name? Or is it just "the Rat?"
Templeton: [coughs] Did you say "just the rat?" For your information, pig, the rat RULES! We were here long before your kind, and we'll be here long after. So you just keep that in mind next time you feel like reducing me to "just the rat."
Templeton: For so many reasons...no. See, I don't play. I gnaw, I spy, I eat, I hide. Me in a nutshell.
Wilbur: Couldn't you just stay and chat?
Templeton: "Chat?" Uh, let me see. Gnaw. Spy. Eat. Hide. Nope, chat ain't on the list. (Templeton then goes down into his hole and enters this lair, filled with assortment of junk. He looks in a mirror) The rat is handsome. (Templeton then goes to his bed and drinks out of a candy wax bottle) Tonight, I dream of slop!
Ike the horse (voiced by Robert Redford)'s arachnophobia. He mostly grows out of it at the end when Charlotte's babies hatch.
When he sees Charlotte for the first time, he starts shrieking “SPIDER! GET IT AWAY FROM ME! GET IT AWAY!”
Then when Charlotte reveals to Wilbur that she drinks flies' blood, Ike faints with a loud THUD!
Then Charlotte climbs down next to the fallen horse:
Ike: Please don't hurt me.
Charlotte: Well, since you said "please." (chuckles)
Also this dialogue when Charlotte is trying to get him involved to a meeting involving Wilbur, as he's turned away with his butt facing her.
Charlotte: Ike, this meeting involves every one of us.
Ike: I just have...trouble looking at you. That's all.
Charlotte: This isn't about me, this is about Wilbur. And for the record, my view of you isn't exactly a treat, either.
Fern sneaking Wilbur to school and hiding him inside her desk to feed him a bottle. Needless to say, she gets caught and sent the principal's office. Talk about a squealer...
When Edith Zuckerman is at the beauty salon discussing the word terrific in the web
Edith Zuckerman: I mean, it was clear as day. T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C, I mean, can you believe a spider wrote that? I didn't learn how to spell that word until I was in the 10th grade!
When Samuel the sheep (voiced by John Cleese) and his flock are getting sheared by Homer:
Sheep 1: I'm next!
Sheep 2: I'm next!
Sheep 3: I'm next!
Sheep 4: I'm next too!
Then when Wilbur sees the sheared Samuel, he doesn't recognize the sheep and introduces himself again.
Wilbur: Hi there. Are you new to the barn? I'm Wilbur. Samuel: Wilbur, it's me. Wilbur: "Me"? Great name! Samuel: No, me! ME! Samuel, THE SHEEP! Wilbur: Wow, what happened to you? Samuel:(scoffs)
How Samuel's flock just constantly agree with almost everything he says:
Samuel: How many times must I tell you, just because we're sheep, it doesn't mean we have to follow. Think for yourselves! Flock: Yourselves quite right!
Everything with the crows Elwyn & Brooks (voiced by Andre Benjamin and Thomas Haden Church) starting with their scarecrow dilemma ("It's Scary Guy!" "I gotta get some corn!") and how Templeton tricks them twice into getting into humiliating situations.
The first time, they end up splattering into a tray of pink paint.
Elwyn: We're pink! Brooks: Pink? But that's alright, isn't it? I mean, black pretty much goes with everything. Elwyn: No, it's NOT alright! That rat is gonna PAY!
The second defeat ends with lured them into a carnival scarecrow game and captures the crows in a net.
Brooks: Peck him! Peck him, Elwyn! Elwyn: Wait a minute! His eyes are buttons and his hair is straw this guy ain't real! Brooks: He's not? Elwyn: NO! Templeton: Oh, yeah! The rat rules! Brooks: You know what this means? We could've had corn!
Before Wilbur first meets Charlotte, he is calling "whoever spoke to me last night, reveal yourself". The other animals are confused and wondering who he's talking to, right before Charlotte reveals herself.
Wilbur: OK, it's morning! Will whoever spoke to me last night, kindly reveal yourself?
Wilbur: I'm speaking to whoever spoke to me last night?
Charlotte (offscreen): I suppose that'd be me.
Wilbur: Okay. I can't see you!
Charlotte: Up here, in the corner. (Wilbur looks towards the left corner, which is empty) The other corner. (Wilbur turns his eyes toward the right corner with the web on it)
Wilbur slipping & sliding in the mud.
Wilbur: Hello, my name's Wilbur! Anyone wanna play? Anyone??? [Beat] It's raining, you know, and you know what you get with rain?
Bitsy: Lightnin'?
Betsy: Typhoons?
Bitsy: Cholera?
Betsy: Dysentery?
Bitsy: Frizzy hair?
Betsy: That sad, sad feelin'?
Wilbur: No, MUD! (leaps into it)
Ike: What the heck is he doing now?!
Followed by Ike, Samuel arguing about work following with Samuel volleying insults toward with the cows.
Ike: Hey, kid, this is a barn! We don't play, we work! Someof us, anyway. Samuel: "Some of us?!" Are you implying, Ike, that we don't work? Because we work bloody hard, thank you! Ike: "Hard?" You grow hair! (Samuel & his flock gasp at each other) Betsy: (laughing) "Grow hair!" Good one! Bitsy: (farts) Excuse me! Samuel: Oh, and is that your contribution to society, you gassy rib-eyes? Bitsy: [gasps] Filthy hairball! Samuel: Rib-eyes! Bitsy: Dirty Lint-Ball! Betsy: Ah, zip it! Gussy: [sighs] They're at it again...
Then when Gussy explains to Wilbur why the animals won't play.
Gussy: Little itty-bitty pig, could you come here, please? (Wilbur approaches the geese) Gussy: You said your name's Wilbur, right? Wilbur: Yes. And you are? Gussy: Gussy. Wilbur: Great name! Gussy: Thank you. Wilbur. Now you're so cute and pink. But you're wasting your time. These animals won't play. Wilbur: What about you? Gussy: Me? Well, I have to stay on my eggs (stands up to show her eggs to Wilbur). Otherwise, of course, I'd love to play. Wilbur: [turns to Golly]; So why can't you play? Golly: 'Cause what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Wilbur: [turns to the other animals] What about the rest of you? Don't any of you like to play? Betsy: Can't play on three empty stomachs. Samuel: Well, for us, you know, there's this "smell of wet wool" business. It's ghastly! Gussy: See? I'm afraid this barn is not a play kind of place. Wilbur: But you're all still friends here, right? Golly: Oh, sure! We've been here together our whole lives. Wilbur: I'm not exactly sure that "being in the same place" is the same as "being friends".
Templeton eating cotton candy at the fair while swirling in the cotton candy machine.
Templeton: I don't know what this stuff is, but I LOVE IT!!
Wilbur spinning "the world's first pig web".
A Deleted Scene: Fern stops Wilbur's stroller to get him some lunch. Her jealous dog Suzy then undoes the brake and then the stroller begins to move. Avery sees the stroller and attempts to shoot his slingshot at it when he notices the stroller's headed right towards him. Avery runs for cover and hoists himself up onto a tree branch just as Fern arrives at the scene. Wilbur's stroller then rolls down a steep hill and runs over a hose, knocking the nozzle loose and spraying Mr. Arable with water. Then the stroller hits a rock, sending Wilbur flying into the pond. As Wilbur, unharmed, swims back to shore, Fern & Avery laugh. Talk about a wild ride!
