Duke[sticking paws into a hot pot] This is boiling water, isn't it?
And when the farmer comes back, delicious turnip birthday cake. [laughs]
DukePig, there is no Turnip Con.
Ah, gotcha. But the Slop Fairy is real, right?
[Everyone gives Pig a look of disapproval. Pig is devastated.]
NOOOOOOOOO..!!!
DukeLet me get this straight. You get rid of the farmer, end up bringing that beady-eyed little dirtbag into the barnyard, and you still expect us to throw you a huge party?
Pretty much.
DukeI'll go with that.
This is horrible! My dearest friends are gonna be barbecued! [sobs] Mmm, mmmmmmmm. I mean... [sobs]
DukeI'm too young to be eaten. Too young!
Dude, get a grip. You're a dog. The farmer's not going to eat you.
DukeWhat, you're saying I wouldn't be nice with some low-fat chips and a nice cherry cola?
Alright, enough with the chips and the cola! This is crazy talk, people, come on! Even if the Farmer came in and dipped us in seasonings, I still wouldn't believe it.
Captain Cold Cuts, two o'clock!
Hey, what's in this sandwich?
DukeVeggie salami.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
DukeI pre-chewed it, so you wouldn't waste precious jaw energy.
You... you pre-chewed this sandwich in my mouth?
DukeMm-hm.
So the sandwich in my mouth was previously in your mouth.
Duke[walks away] Nice taste, huh?
[Otis runs into the field, screaming past Abby and Bessy.]
SPIT SANDWICH!!! [licks the grass to get the germs off]
Okay! No more! I give up! I cannot do this anymore!
DukeWhat, play fetch?
No! I can't keep faking life-threatening situations, so you'll save me, and we'll be even, and then you'll finally LEAVE. ME. ALONE.
DukeI was just trying to be nice since you saved... [cries]
Duke, Duke, don't cry. Look, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, but please, stop being nice to me!
DukeAbby, tell us how you come by your amazing athletic talent.
Well, gosh, Duke. I grew up with 18 older brothers who used to clobber me all the time, then one day, I just kinda decided... THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! Is this on TV? Because I'm a little camera shy.
Watch how a softer diffusion of light can completely change the--[the projector falls apart and crashes to the floor] Oh, that's the opposite of good.
DukeOtis, what did you do?! You ruined the safety film!
[The animals cheer.]
[panics] NO SAFETY FILM?! NO SAFETY FILM?! WE'LL NEVER BE SAFE AGAIN!!!
[Freddy steps on a rake that smacks him in the face. He pulls on a rope, dropping a heavy hay bale on him. He stumbles out of the barn, then gets trampled by a herd of elephants.]
[pained] Medic.
DukeOkay, here's the deal. I have one parachute, but I figure, if we all--[Freddy snatches the parachute from him]
So long, suckers! [leaps out the barn, but is spun around the tornado screaming; then he is thrown back into the barn, smashing through a beam] A little help, suckers?
DukeAlright, sheep, it's bear season. You know what that means.
Exercise caution and stay within the perimeter of the farm?
DukeNo, no, it means I gotta rub you down with salmon to disguise your scent. Come on, line up.
But Duke, that makes no sense.
Yeah. Fish forms a substantial part of a bear's basic diet.
DukeYou see, that's the kind of fancy college talk that attracts bears, mister.
Duke[reading a note left by the sheep] Dear Duke, you vacuous, simpering moron.
Hey, you're not vacuous!
DukeOur mental superiority makes it impossible to tolerate your... idiotic leadership? Goodbye for-e-e-e-e-e-e-ver.
Welp, there's the glue factory. I told you I knew where it was.
DukeThis ain't the glue factory. It looks like a train station.
Uh, it's a train station slash glue factory.
[telling a scary story] And some say, when the moon is full, or really close to full... You know, like those times when you go, "Hey, look, it's a full moon," and somebody else goes, "No, man, it's not totally full. See the edge?" And you're like, whatever, dude, I can see the whole moon!
Pip, please.
Oh, right. When the moon is pretty much full, you can still hear the shrieks of her helpless victims.
[The other animals, except Otis, react in fear to Pip's story.]
And that's why I hate veterinarians.
Pip, would you stop scaring them? I mean, you've never even been to the veterinarian.
Hey, I've never been hit by a meteor either, but I know it hurts.
Well, uh, enjoy your check-ups, folks, uh, I'll be in Guatemala.
DukeRight behind you.
This veterinarian madwoman will KILL US ALL!!!
How will we survive without Otis?!
DukeDon't worry, Freddy. When the sad day comes, I'll take over as the leader.
[Beat.]
HOW WILL WE SURVIVE WITHOUT OTIS?! [sobs]
[sighs] I'm glad you're not dead.
DukeAnd we aren't leaving your side until you get better pal.
[Someone honks a car horn]
Dr. Glove is back!
[The animals scatter]
Hey, sweetie, how's my big sweetie, okay? I'm just going to do a little check poo. [snaps glove suggestively]
Moo? [begins screaming hysterically off camera]
