Quotes8

  • Templeton: [reading the clipping] It says "Crunchy."
  • Charlotte: No, that's wrong. It could start Zuckerman thinking about crunchy bacon.
  • Wilbur: Ohhh!
  • Charlotte: [sternly] Wilbur, I forbid you to faint!
  • Charlotte: [after Templeton ignored and distracted Charlotte's meeting, he continues to look for food as a cat approaches the fence] Why don't you try over by the fence, Templeton?
  • Templeton: Huh?
  • Charlotte: [innocently] Lurvy dropped half a sandwich from his lunch there.
  • Templeton: Why, thank you, Charlotte!
  • [goes over to the fence, the cat sees him and tries to pounce over the fence; he flees and the cat leaves]
  • Templeton: [calling] That wasn't nice, Charlotte!
  • Charlotte: Perhaps next time I call a meeting Templeton, you'll see fit to attend.
  • [Templeton returns from a night of overeating]
  • Templeton: [hiccups] I'm back.
  • [Charlotte and Wilbur glare at him]
  • Templeton: What a night! Never have I seen such leavings! Everything well ripened, seasoned with the passage of time and the heat of the day... Oh, it was rich, my friends, riiiiiich!
  • [hiccups]
  • Charlotte: You ought to be ashamed of yourself. It would serve you right if you had an acute attack of indigestion.
  • [Templeton hiccups agains and pats his stomach]
  • Templeton: My stomach can handle anything.
  • Wilbur: Templeton, if you weren't so dopey, you would have noticed that Charlotte's made an egg sac.
  • [Templeton gazes toward the ceiling and sees Charlotte's egg sac]
  • Templeton: [hiccups] Hooray for Charlotte.
  • Wilbur: She's going to become a mother. For *your* information, there are 514 eggs in that peachy, little sac.
  • Templeton: [sarcastically] This *has* been a night.
  • [Templeton crawls over to Wilbur's pen and hiccups again]
  • [when Templeton sees all the food on the ground at the fair]
  • Templeton: The goose was right, this fair is a rat's paradise! Bye-bye, my "humble" Wilbur. Fare thee well, Charlotte, you old schemer! This will be a night to remember!
  • Templeton: What are you doing?
  • Charlotte: Working.
  • Templeton: Why so late?
  • Charlotte: I'll be lucky if I'm finished by sunup. Go to sleep, Templeton.
  • Templeton: Good night, Charlotte.
  • Charlotte: Good night, Templeton.
  • [after the goose's eggs have hatched]
  • Wilbur: Congratulations! How many are there?
  • Goose: There are seven.
  • Charlotte: Seven is a lucky number.
  • Goose: Luck has nothing to do with it! It was good management and hard work!
  • Templeton: [looking at a solitary unhatched egg] Why didn't, uh, this one hatch?
  • Goose: [gloomily] It's a dud, I guess.
  • Templeton: What are you going to do with it?
  • Goose: [sternly] You can have it. Roll it away and add it to that nasty collection of yours! Be careful - a rotten egg can be a regular stink bomb!
  • Templeton: [patting the egg] I know what I'm doing. I handle stuff like this all the time.
  • [Templeton rolls the egg away and buries it in his hole]
  • Fern Arable: [Templeton's rotten egg has been squashed under Wilbur's trough] What did you DO, Avery? Ewwww!
  • Avery Arable: [running away] Good night! What a STINK!
  • Templeton: [Templeton emerges from his burrow sniffing the air and reacts with disgust when he sees the source. He walks over towards Charlotte] It's a good thing for you I saved that egg, Charlotte.
  • Charlotte: It certainly is, and I'm grateful to you, Templeton.
  • Charlotte: [after Templeton ignored and distracted Charlotte's meeting, he continues to look for food as a cat and an orange dog approach the fence] Why don't you try over by the fence, Templeton?
  • Templeton: Huh?
  • Charlotte: [innocently] Lurvy dropped half a sandwich from his lunch there.
  • Templeton: Why, thank you, Charlotte!
  • [goes over to the fence, the cat and orange dog see him and try to pounce over the fence; he flees and the cat leaves but the orange dog stays inside the barn]
  • Templeton: [calling] That wasn't nice, Charlotte!
  • Charlotte: Perhaps next time I call a meeting Templeton, you'll see fit to attend.
  • [It is used in the extended version of the film with an orange dog]
