1. This is a tale about
an unprejudiced heart...Copy !req
2. and how it changed our valley
forever.Copy !req
3. There was a time
not so long ago...Copy !req
4. when pigs were afforded no respect
except by other pigs.Copy !req
5. They lived their whole lives
in a cruel and sunless world.Copy !req
6. In those days, pigs believed that
the sooner they grew large and fat,Copy !req
7. the sooner they'd be taken
into pig paradise.Copy !req
8. - Haa! Haa! Get up!
- A place so wonderful...Copy !req
9. - that no pig had ever thought to come back.
- Yo! Yeah!Copy !req
10. Good-bye, Mom.Copy !req
11. So when the day came for their parents to
go to that other world of endless pleasures,Copy !req
12. it was not a time
for young pigs to be sad.Copy !req
13. Just another step towards the day when
they, too, would make the journey.Copy !req
14. Perhaps it was because he was alone.Copy !req
15. Perhaps his sadness
made him easier to catch.Copy !req
16. Whatever the reason, of the thousands
of animals in the piggery that day...Copy !req
17. only one was chosen.Copy !req
18. - How's this one, Harry?
- Just right for the purpose.Copy !req
19. - How much do I owe you?
- It's a runt, Harry. A worthless, little runt.Copy !req
20. You're too modest, Esme Hoggett.Copy !req
21. Nine out of ten first prizes
for jams and jellies...Copy !req
22. is more than
a matter of luck.Copy !req
23. Luck still plays its part. Our berries
were wickedly good this year.Copy !req
24. And our water
is very tasty too.Copy !req
25. Of course, we don't use
the town water.Copy !req
26. Arthur Hoggett!
How's it going, Arthur?Copy !req
27. How are those sheep of yours?
Come on, try your luck.Copy !req
28. How about taking a guess, Arthur?
All for a good cause.Copy !req
29. - Don't keep pigs.
- Christmas day. Think of it. What a feast!Copy !req
30. That'll do, Pig.Copy !req
31. The pig and the farmer
regarded each other.Copy !req
32. And for a fleeting moment,
something passed between them.Copy !req
33. - A faint sense of some common destiny.
- Hah. Strange.Copy !req
34. First time the little thing
hasn't screamed its head off.Copy !req
35. Now you'll have
to have a guess.Copy !req
36. Sixteen pounds, five...Copy !req
37. Eew.Copy !req
38. Two ounces.Copy !req
39. Hooey! Hoggett!Copy !req
40. Thanks, Arthur. We'll be weighing
the little pig tomorrow.Copy !req
41. We'll phone you
if you win.Copy !req
42. When you win, Arthur.
When you win!Copy !req
43. Care to guess
the pig's weight, sir?Copy !req
44. Support the Lion's Club.Copy !req
45. Ooh!Copy !req
46. What could we do
with a pig, eh, Duchess?Copy !req
47. Just think. Two nice hams.
Two sides of bacon.Copy !req
48. Oh, and pork chops, kidney, liver,
chitlins, pickle his feet.Copy !req
49. Save his blood for black puddin'. There's the telephone.Copy !req
50. Hoggett!Copy !req
51. Good news, Arthur.
You've won the pig.Copy !req
52. Oh.Copy !req
53. Pigs are definitely stupid.Copy !req
54. Oh, oh, oh, oh.Copy !req
55. - What is it, Mom?
- That's a pig.Copy !req
56. - They'll eat him when he's big.
- Will they eat us?Copy !req
57. Good heavens, no! The bosses
only eat stupid animals...Copy !req
58. like sheep and ducks
and chickens.Copy !req
59. Yea!Copy !req
60. It does look stupid,
Mom.Copy !req
61. Not as stupid as sheep, mind you.
But pigs are definitely stupid.Copy !req
62. Excuse me.
No, we're not.Copy !req
63. - Good heavens! Who are you?
- I'm a Large White.Copy !req
64. - Yes, that's your breed, dear. What's your name?
- I don't know.Copy !req
65. What did your mother call you to tell
you apart from your brothers and sisters?Copy !req
66. Our mom called us
all the same.Copy !req
67. And what was that,
dear?Copy !req
68. She called us all Babe.Copy !req
69. Perhaps we shouldn't talk
too much about, uh, family.Copy !req
70. I want my mom.Copy !req
71. There, there. You've got
to be a brave boy now.Copy !req
72. I left my mother when I was your age,
and my pups will have to leave me soon.Copy !req
73. But I'll keep an eye on you, if you
like, just 'til you find your feet.Copy !req
74. The little pig's a bit low.
He's going to sleep with us...Copy !req
75. just 'til he finds his feet.Copy !req
76. Until he finds his feet.Copy !req
77. But, Mom,
he'll wet the bed!Copy !req
78. Nonsense!Copy !req
79. If you do want to do anything,
you'll go outside, won't you?Copy !req
80. Good boy.Copy !req
81. Yea!Copy !req
82. Yeah! Yeah!
Stomp on him!Copy !req
83. What's your name, Pig?Copy !req
84. - What does he taste like?
- Where did he come from?Copy !req
85. Comin' through!
Hey, get lost!Copy !req
86. We've got to do something
about that duck.Copy !req
87. Ooh! Ooh!Copy !req
88. Doodle-loo-dee-doo.Copy !req
89. - What's that noise?
- It's only Ferdinand.Copy !req
90. - What's Ferdinand?
- He's a duck.Copy !req
91. - He wants to be a rooster.
- He hates being a duck.Copy !req
92. - We'll catch him one day and eat him. Won't we, Mom?
- Yes, dear.Copy !req
93. Yech!
Who'd want to eat a duck?Copy !req
94. Babe, you wait here.Copy !req
95. - Aren't pigs allowed?
- Not live ones.Copy !req
96. - Sorry, dear. Only dogs and cats inside the house.
- Why?Copy !req
97. That's just the way
things are.Copy !req
98. Whoa!Copy !req
99. - Ow!
- Pig-pig- piggy!Copy !req
100. Ooh, what a spectacular feast
I've got for you.Copy !req
101. Oh, yes! What a lucky
little pork chop you are.Copy !req
102. Delicious! Oh, yes!
Yum, yum, yum.Copy !req
103. Who's gonna grow up
to be a big, fat pig?Copy !req
104. You are! You are!
Yum, yum, yum.Copy !req
105. - Where are we going?
- To work with the sheep.Copy !req
106. - What's sheep?
- Sheep is animals with thick, woolly coats.Copy !req
107. And thick woolly heads. And men
can't look after them without us.Copy !req
108. - Why do they need us?
- 'Cause we're sheepdogs! Yea!Copy !req
109. - Not you, dear.
- Why not?Copy !req
110. We have to do dogs' work. You're a pig.
Your job is to stay here and eat your food.Copy !req
111. We'll be back
at the end of the day.Copy !req
112. They don't think
I'll remember. Well, I don't forget.Copy !req
113. Seems like a sheep's
just born to suffer.Copy !req
114. Hello?
Excuse me.Copy !req
115. Darn wolf!Copy !req
116. - I'm not a wolf. I'm a pig. What are you?
- Ewe.Copy !req
117. Pig. What are you?Copy !req
118. I'm a ewe.
A ewe!Copy !req
119. - You're a sheep!
- I'll not be called a common sheep, thank you kindly.Copy !req
120. I'm a Border Leicester ewe.
The name's Maa.Copy !req
121. Oh.Copy !req
122. - What's wrong with you, Maa?
- Foot rot. And I got me a nasty cough.Copy !req
123. And I'm not as young
as I used to be.Copy !req
124. Hmph.Copy !req
125. - Seem like a nice young pig. What be your name?
- Babe.Copy !req
126. Not like them wolves.
Treat you like dirt, they do!Copy !req
127. - Bite you as soon as look at you, those savages!
- Bite you?Copy !req
128. And worse.
Some wolves be so bad,Copy !req
129. they run a sheep down
and tear it to pieces.Copy !req
130. Fly would never do that!Copy !req
131. Fly, is it? A right vicious creature
she be, I'll tell you.Copy !req
132. - Not Fly.
- All them wolves is cruel to sheep. Always have been.Copy !req
133. Brutal savages!
That's what they be.Copy !req
134. I wouldn't want to see a gentle soul
like you mixin' with the likes of them.Copy !req
135. That afternoon when he saw Fly,Copy !req
136. the pig's mind
was a tangle of questions.Copy !req
137. Cruel, vicious, brutal?Copy !req
138. What was it that dogs did
in the fields all day?Copy !req
139. - Hello, Babe? Had a good day?
- Yes, thank you.Copy !req
140. The old sheep
had to be wrong about Fly.Copy !req
141. And the pig promised himself that he would
never think badly of any creature ever again.Copy !req
142. Crime and Punishment!Copy !req
143. The morning of
the terrible crime...Copy !req
144. started like any other
on Hoggett Farm.Copy !req
145. Comin' through!
Comin' through!Copy !req
146. Take off!Copy !req
147. - Now!
- Up, up, up.Copy !req
148. Nee-nee-nee- nee.Copy !req
149. Alarm Ringing ] - Hmm?Copy !req
150. I was worried it might have a harsh tone,
but that's quite a nice musical ring.Copy !req
151. I walked into O'Halloran's Hardware,
and there it was waiting for me.Copy !req
152. What a splendid way
to wake up each morning!Copy !req
153. Hoggett, dear.
Church.Copy !req
154. When embarking
on an audacious crime,Copy !req
155. a duck needs
a willing accomplice.Copy !req
156. A creature who is reliable,
beyond suspicion,Copy !req
157. and above all,
extremely gullible.Copy !req
158. Hey! Psst!Copy !req
159. Wha... What?Copy !req
160. You look like an intelligent,
sophisticated, discerning young fella.Copy !req
161. - Who, me?
- Yeah. Follow me. Oh, boy! Are you in for some fun!Copy !req
162. What are we doin'?
Where are we goin'?Copy !req
163. Now the duck knew
exactly what he had to do.Copy !req
164. - The alarm clock had to go. His very life depended on it.
- Do you see it?Copy !req
165. - Yes.
- Good.Copy !req
166. So I go through the kitchen,
across the living room...Copy !req
167. - Good, good.
- into the bedroom.Copy !req
168. Get the mechanical rooster
and bring it out to you.Copy !req
169. - What about that cat?
- But quietly bring it out to you.Copy !req
170. - Excellent.
- I don't think I can do it.Copy !req
171. It's against the rules. Only dogs
and cats allowed in the house.Copy !req
172. It's a good rule, but this is bigger
than rules. This is life and death.Copy !req
173. - It is?
- Mm-hmm. Follow me.Copy !req
174. Hello! Look,
there's something you should know.Copy !req
175. - Humans eat ducks!
- I beg your pardon?Copy !req
176. Most ducks prefer to forget it, but the
fact is that humans like to eat plump ducks.Copy !req
177. I don't think so.
Not the boss. Not the boss's wife.Copy !req
178. Come on.
Humans don't eat cats. Why?Copy !req
179. - Well, they're...
- They're indispensable. They catch mice.Copy !req
180. Humans don't eat roosters. Why? They make eggs
with the hens and wake up everyone in the morning.Copy !req
181. I tried it with the hens.
It didn't work.Copy !req
182. So I turned to crowing, and lo!
I discover my gift.Copy !req
183. But no sooner do I become indispensable
than they bring in a machine to do the job!Copy !req
184. Ah, the treachery of it!Copy !req
185. - A mechanical rooster!
- Oh, dear me.Copy !req
186. Oh, dear you?Copy !req
187. I suppose the life
of an anorexic duck...Copy !req
188. doesn't amount to much
in the broad scheme of things.Copy !req
189. But, Pig,Copy !req
190. I'm all I've got.Copy !req
191. Why do you need me
to do it?Copy !req
192. - I'm allergic to cats.
- Oh.Copy !req
193. They make me sneeze.Copy !req
194. Ahh.Copy !req
195. Don't worry.
I won't wake the cat.Copy !req
196. My life is in your hands.Copy !req
197. Oh, dear.Copy !req
198. Oh, no!Copy !req
199. Ah, boy.Copy !req
200. No, no, no!Copy !req
201. Your foot, your foot!
Take the string off your foot.Copy !req
202. Wait, wait. Let me put it this way.
Stop. Turn around...Copy !req
203. Shh.Copy !req
204. No, no!
The other way! Turn...Copy !req
205. No, stop! Oh!Copy !req
206. Stop!
Stop, stop, stop!Copy !req
207. Don't, don't, stupid.
Go outside... now.Copy !req
208. - But you said you can't do without me.
- I can. Trust me, I can.Copy !req
209. - Are you sure? You're positive?
- Yes!Copy !req
210. - Go outside and stand guard.
- Okay. Good idea.Copy !req
211. Oh, boy. Want something done,
you gotta do it yourself.Copy !req
212. - Hmm.
- Guard against what?Copy !req
213. Ahh! Ahh!
Don't worry.Copy !req
214. Stick with me and please,
I beg you, not one more word.Copy !req
215. All right.Copy !req
216. Aah...Copy !req
217. Don't sneeze, Ferdie.Copy !req
218. - Just hold your breath.
- Ahhh...Copy !req
219. Ah- choo!Copy !req
220. It was my mistake. I was
trying to loosen things up a little.Copy !req
221. But, no. Today proves
that it doesn't work.Copy !req
222. From now on,
we'll all respect the rules.Copy !req
223. To each creature
its own destiny.Copy !req
224. Every animal
in its proper place.Copy !req
225. And a pig's proper place is under
the old cart, not in the barn.Copy !req
226. And absolutely never
in the house.Copy !req
227. - Is that understood?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
228. Now, Pig, regarding the company
you keep. Being young,Copy !req
229. it's hard to discriminate,
so I'll make it easy for you.Copy !req
230. I forbid you to talk to
or consort with...Copy !req
231. that duck... ever.Copy !req
232. - Have I made myself clear?
- Uh... what's "consort"?Copy !req
233. It means, young man,Copy !req
234. that you must not go
anywhere near that duck.Copy !req
235. As for the fugitive duck, when
he shows himself, let him know this:Copy !req
236. Being a duck he must behave like a duck.
No more of this crowing and nonsense.Copy !req
237. He should accept what he is
and be thankful for it.Copy !req
238. - That goes for all of us.
- Here, here!Copy !req
239. Rex continued long into the night.Copy !req
240. Elsewhere,
there was more talk.Copy !req
241. The subject
was Christmas dinner...Copy !req
242. and whether that year the main course
would be roast pork...Copy !req
243. or Duck a I'Orange.Copy !req
244. And pork is
a nice, sweet meat.Copy !req
245. Then there's the crackling.
That always adds interest and texture.Copy !req
246. Get him!Copy !req
247. Get the pig! Get the pig!
Get the pig!Copy !req
248. Get him! Get him!Copy !req
249. - Psst!
- Ferdinand!Copy !req
250. - Everyone's been looking for you.
- Shh. Shh.Copy !req
251. - What is this place?
- What's happenin' out there?Copy !req
252. Rex isn't very happy.
Boy, all these new rules!Copy !req
253. I'm not allowed to...
Oops.Copy !req
254. Not allowed to what?Copy !req
255. Huh?Copy !req
256. - Piggy!
- What? You didn't see me, all right?Copy !req
257. And I didn't see you.
All right? Oops.Copy !req
258. The time comes for all creatures...Copy !req
259. when childhood ends...Copy !req
260. and the doorway opens
to life as an adult.Copy !req
261. And so it was
with Fly's pups.Copy !req
262. Though that time
was all too soon for Fly.Copy !req
263. Puppy, puppy, puppy.
Come on.Copy !req
264. In my pocket.Copy !req
265. Fly?Copy !req
266. May I call you Mom?Copy !req
267. And so it was that the pig...Copy !req
268. found his place
in the world of the farm.Copy !req
269. And he was happy,
even in his dreams.Copy !req
270. - Hello!
- Folks, how are you? Merry Christmas!Copy !req
271. How's my favorite girl?Copy !req
272. Nanny's got
a jellybean.Copy !req
273. Give us a kiss.Copy !req
274. Guess what we're having
for Christmas dinner.Copy !req
275. - Roast pork.
- I hate pork.Copy !req
276. Darn silly carry-on,
if you ask me.Copy !req
277. The cats says
they call it Christmas.Copy !req
278. Christmas!
Christmas dinner, yeah.Copy !req
279. Dinner means death.Copy !req
280. Death means carnage!
Christmas means carnage!Copy !req
281. Christmas means carnage!Copy !req
282. Oooh.Copy !req
283. Yes!Copy !req
284. Wait.Copy !req
285. Eatin' pigs!
Blaah! Barbarians!Copy !req
286. You're goin' back
to the fields, Maa.Copy !req
287. Oh, young'un, tragic there
ain't more of your kind.Copy !req
288. - I'll be thinkin' of ya always.
- I could come visit you.Copy !req
289. I'd like that, but...Copy !req
290. Well, we shouldn't hope
for too much. Ooh!Copy !req
291. And so, it was Christmas Eve.Copy !req
292. And time had run out
for the pig.Copy !req
293. - Are you doing him tonight then?
- Mmm.Copy !req
294. Good.
The blood'll drain by morning.Copy !req
295. - Pity.
- What's that?Copy !req
296. Nothin'.Copy !req
297. What on earth
are you babbling on about?Copy !req
298. Shame to miss out on the best ham prize
at next year's fair, is all.Copy !req
299. Nice plump haunches
he's gettin'.Copy !req
300. Beautiful.
Still...Copy !req
301. silly to wait,
I suppose.Copy !req
302. Here it is!Copy !req
303. - The bird.
- Yuck. Chicken?Copy !req
304. No,
it's Duck a I'Orange.Copy !req
305. And, Mother, it looks
absolutely superb.Copy !req
306. - I'm not going to eat any of it!
- This is fabulous.Copy !req
307. Ferdinand!Copy !req
308. If you're out here,
who's that in there?Copy !req
309. Her name's Rosanna.Copy !req
310. Why Rosanna?Copy !req
311. - She had such a beautiful nature.
- Oh, Ferdinand.Copy !req
312. - I can't take it anymore.
- Really!Copy !req
313. The fear's too much for a duck.
It eats away at the soul.Copy !req
314. There must be kinder dispositions
in far- off gentler lands.Copy !req
315. The only way you'll find
happiness is to accept...Copy !req
316. that the way things are
is the way things are.Copy !req
317. The way things are stinks!
I'm not gonna be a goner. I'm gone.Copy !req
318. I wish all of you
the best of luck.Copy !req
319. - Where will you go?
- No idea.Copy !req
320. But I'm a clever duck.
I could do with an adventure.Copy !req
321. - I'll miss you, Ferdie.
- Ferdie? No one's ever called me that before.Copy !req
322. Hey, good luck, Pig.
Huh?Copy !req
323. - I am outta here.
- Bye, bye.Copy !req
324. Ow!
Would you do me a favor, old thing?Copy !req
325. - Anything.
- Open the gate, huh?Copy !req
326. Ah! Ah! Ahh!
Ha-ha-ha! Whoa!Copy !req
327. The pig knew it was
against the rules to leave the farm.Copy !req
328. But something
was definitely wrong.Copy !req
329. How lovely, darling.
What is it?Copy !req
330. It's a fax machine.
You can send us letters by phone.Copy !req
331. - Hmm.
- Oh.Copy !req
332. At any other time,
the pig would've been tickled pink...Copy !req
333. by his first visit
to the sheep fields.Copy !req
334. But now
there was fear in the air.Copy !req
335. Maa and her kind
were under threat.Copy !req
336. Hey, Frank, feel like pork
for dinner tonight?Copy !req
337. - Young'un, you're alive!
- Maa!Copy !req
338. What's happening?
Who are these men?Copy !req
339. I'll get him out. Come around, Sniff!Copy !req
340. Where's our boss?
It doesn't seem right.Copy !req
341. - What's wrong, dear?
- It's the wrong one!Copy !req
342. I want the house I saw
on the television!Copy !req
343. Oh, there, there.Copy !req
344. Get! Quick! Get the dog in.Copy !req
345. Out of the sheep!
Come on!Copy !req
346. Let's go!Copy !req
347. Good dog.Copy !req
348. Good pig.Copy !req
349. Oooh.Copy !req
350. Oooh!Copy !req
351. - Hey, hey. Dad says his little porker's a watch pig.
- Dearie me!Copy !req
352. If it's not a duck
that thinks it's a rooster,Copy !req
353. it's a pig that thinks it's a dog!Copy !req
354. A pig that thinks
it's a dog!Copy !req
355. A pig that thinks it's a dog!Copy !req
356. A washing machine,
a radio, a new alarm clock.Copy !req
357. I think it's a lovely fax machine,
darling, but can't you use it?Copy !req
358. We already have one, Mom.
That's the whole idea.Copy !req
359. We can send faxes
to each other.Copy !req
360. Don't be afraid of it
just because it's new.Copy !req
361. These accounts are
a real worry, Arthur.Copy !req
362. Every month your expenditure
is greater than your income.Copy !req
363. It's eating up your reserves.Copy !req
364. You need to modernize, get
some sort of cash flow going.Copy !req
365. You're still using
a horse and cart, for God's sakes.Copy !req
366. - Dad?
- Funny, that.Copy !req
367. - What?
- Those chickens, that pig.Copy !req
368. What's the pig
got to do with anything?Copy !req
369. Nothing.Copy !req
370. Just look at them.
The browns and the whites.Copy !req
371. Come, Rex.
Come, Fly.Copy !req
372. Come, Pig.Copy !req
373. Come, Pig!Copy !req
374. Perhaps he's pleased
with you for what you did yesterday.Copy !req
375. - I didn't do much.
- If it wasn't for you, dear,Copy !req
376. they could've stolen
the whole flock.Copy !req
377. - Is Rex unhappy with me?
- Oh, he'll be all right.Copy !req
378. Just stay out
of his way today.Copy !req
379. Way to be, Fly.
Rex, come by.Copy !req
380. That'll do.Copy !req
381. You're so quick.
I'd never be able to fly like you can.Copy !req
382. Pigs aren't built
to fly, dear.Copy !req
383. But speed isn't the thing.
It's attitude.Copy !req
384. They just have to know
who's boss.Copy !req
385. Out you go.Copy !req
386. Mmm!Copy !req
387. Get 'em up, Pig.Copy !req
388. - He wants you to drive them out of the yard.
- Away to me, Pig.Copy !req
389. Remember, you have
to dominate them.Copy !req
390. Do that and they'll do
anything you want. Go.Copy !req
391. Woof!Copy !req
392. Woof, woof, woof!Copy !req
393. Woof! Woof!
Woof, woof, woof, woof!Copy !req
394. Woof, woof, woof!Copy !req
395. This is ridiculous,
Mom.Copy !req
396. Nonsense.
It's only your first try.Copy !req
397. But you're treating them like equals.
They're sheep. They're inferior.Copy !req
398. - Ah, no they're not.
- Of course they are!Copy !req
399. We are their masters. Let them doubt it
for a second and they'll walk all over you.Copy !req
400. - Fly, get that pig out of there.
- Make them feel inferior. Abuse them. Insult them.Copy !req
401. - But they'll laugh at me.
- Then bite them.Copy !req
402. Be ruthless. Whatever it takes.
Bend them to your will.Copy !req
403. - Enough!
- Go on! Go!Copy !req
404. Move along there, you...Copy !req
405. You, uh,
big butt heads!Copy !req
406. - Ow!
- Young'un, stop this nonsense.Copy !req
407. What's got into you? I just finished
tellin' what a nice young pig you be.Copy !req
408. Maa, I was just trying
to be a sheepdog.Copy !req
409. Hah! Enough wolves
in the world already...Copy !req
410. without a nice lad like you
turnin' nasty.Copy !req
411. You haven't got it in ya,
young'un.Copy !req
412. You and I are descended
from the great sheepdogs.Copy !req
413. We carry the bloodline
of the Ancient Bahou.Copy !req
414. We stand for something.Copy !req
415. And today I watched in shame
as all that was betrayed.Copy !req
416. - Rex, he's just a little pig.
- All the greater the insult.Copy !req
417. I'm sorry I bit you.
Are you all right?Copy !req
418. I wouldn't call that a bite, myself. You
got teeth in that floppy mouth or just gums?Copy !req
419. You see, ladies,
a heart of gold.Copy !req
420. Ahh. Heart of gold.Copy !req
421. No need for all this
wolf nonsense, young'un.Copy !req
422. All a nice little pig like you
need do is ask.Copy !req
423. Thanks very much.
It was very kind of you.Copy !req
424. - A pleasure.
- What a nice little pig!Copy !req
425. All right,
how did you do it?Copy !req
426. I asked them, and they did it.
I asked them nicely.Copy !req
427. We don't ask sheep, dear.
We tell them what to do.Copy !req
428. I did, Mom.
They were really friendly.Copy !req
429. Maybe Rex might be a little more
friendly if I had a talk with him.Copy !req
430. No, no, no.
You better leave that to me.Copy !req
431. Rex?Copy !req
432. I know it was hard
for you today...Copy !req
433. watching all that happening.Copy !req
434. But surely it's not worth
all this misery.Copy !req
435. Please, dear,
not on such a beautiful night.Copy !req
436. You put these ideas
into his head!Copy !req
437. Two-faced traitorous wret...Copy !req
438. Get down!Copy !req
439. Down, Rex.
Fly!Copy !req
440. A dark cloud
had descended on the valley.Copy !req
441. And the pig felt that
the troubles were all his fault.Copy !req
442. But he was certain that he knew
how to put things right again.Copy !req
443. Oh, uh,
e-excuse me, sir.Copy !req
444. But I-I-I think
all this trouble...Copy !req
445. Well, it's not distemper.
Can't be rabies.Copy !req
446. Must be the hormones.Copy !req
447. - What about Hoggett's notion, the dog jealous of the wee pig?
- I don't see that myself.Copy !req
448. No. So what should we do?Copy !req
449. You can keep him locked up
or... snip, snip. I can do it Tuesday.Copy !req
450. No.Copy !req
451. Or Wednesday.Copy !req
452. Hoggett doesn't want the dog
operated on. He's a breeding dog.Copy !req
453. I can sedate him,
of course,Copy !req
454. but he'll be useless
as a working dog.Copy !req
455. I'll give you pills to put in his food.Copy !req
456. Good dog.Copy !req
457. The Sheep Pig.Copy !req
458. A pig doing the work of a sheepdog?Copy !req
459. With Rex out of action and Fly injured from
the fight, Farmer Hoggett had no choice.Copy !req
460. Maa! Maa! The boss has
to give you some medicine.Copy !req
461. Oh, dear, I thought so!
It's horrible stuff, that.Copy !req
462. - I know, but it's for the best.
- Young'un, if you say so.Copy !req
463. Shoo! Shoo!Copy !req
464. When the thought first came to him,Copy !req
465. Farmer Hoggett dismissed it
as mere whimsy.Copy !req
466. But, like most of his harebrained
ideas, it wouldn't go away.Copy !req
467. - What are they doing?
- It's a sheepdog trial.Copy !req
468. So it's like
a competition for sheepdogs?Copy !req
469. And their bosses.
It's like an obstacle course.Copy !req
470. How do they decide
who wins?Copy !req
471. It's time and mistakes.
You get points for how quick you are.Copy !req
472. And they take points off
for every mistake.Copy !req
473. Every time a sheep goes the wrong way,
that's a mistake and you lose points.Copy !req
474. - Looks like fun!
- For a sheepdog, there's no prouder moment.Copy !req
475. - Rex and I used to...
- Hmm?Copy !req
476. Never mind.Copy !req
477. Oh.Copy !req
478. Was Rex a champion?Copy !req
479. He had the makings of the greatest
champion there ever was, but it wasn't to be.Copy !req
480. - What happened?
- A while back when Rex was in his prime,Copy !req
481. the winter rains brought
a great flood to the valley.Copy !req
482. Rex and the boss got most of
the flock onto the high ground.Copy !req
483. Then Rex went back
to look for the strays.Copy !req
484. He found them. They'd been
stranded by the rising water.Copy !req
485. He tried to herd them across
to safety, but they wouldn't budge.Copy !req
486. Too afraid and too stupid
to save their own skins.Copy !req
487. It was freezing cold
and the water kept rising.Copy !req
488. Rex stayed with them
right through the night.Copy !req
489. By morning,
the sheep were drowned.Copy !req
490. - And when they found Rex, he was barely alive.
- Oh, Mom!Copy !req
491. Two weeks rest in front of
the fire saw him back on his feet.Copy !req
492. But his hearing
was never the same again.Copy !req
493. He'd never want anyone to know,
but he's almost totally deaf.Copy !req
494. - Is that why he's so, you know, angry?
- That's not the half of it.Copy !req
495. All this was barely a month
before the Grand National Challenge.Copy !req
496. He tried his best, but he couldn't hear
the boss's calls, and it slowed him up.Copy !req
497. The cold truth is that,
but for the stupidity of sheep,Copy !req
498. Rex would've been
the champion of champions.Copy !req
499. Good dog.Copy !req
500. That's it, all right.
Good.Copy !req
501. Here we go. All right.Copy !req
502. Now, through here like this.Copy !req
503. And then, big hook to the left.
Big hook.Copy !req
504. Big hook.
Through this gate here.Copy !req
505. It was at that time that Mrs.
Hoggett began to worry about her husband.Copy !req
506. But Farmer Hoggett knew
that little ideas...Copy !req
507. that tickled and nagged
and refused to go away...Copy !req
508. should never be ignored...Copy !req
509. for in them lie
the seeds of destiny.Copy !req
510. Close the gate like that,
and you're done.Copy !req
511. A Tragic Day.Copy !req
512. Mom. Mom!
Can we start work early today?Copy !req
513. Oh, dear,
it's not even dawn yet.Copy !req
514. You can go to work when the rooster
crows. Oh, go back to sleep.Copy !req
515. Ahem.Copy !req
516. Um, excuse me.Copy !req
517. Hello, sir. Excuse me,
but it's nearly dawn, and...Copy !req
518. - What?
- Sorry to disturb you.Copy !req
519. It's nearly dawn, and I wondered if you'd mind
crowing just a few minutes early this morning.Copy !req
520. - Get out of here!
- But, well, see I...Copy !req
521. - Get lost!
- Oh, okay.Copy !req
522. Whoa!Copy !req
523. Now the pig understood
why the sheep called all dogs wolves.Copy !req
524. And he was filled with
a deep and terrible rage.Copy !req
525. Maa! Maa!Copy !req
526. - Are you all right?
- Hello, young'un.Copy !req
527. Oh, Maa,
can you get up?Copy !req
528. I don't reckon.Copy !req
529. It's over, Maa.
The wolves have gone far away.Copy !req
530. I'll get the boss up here
to look after you.Copy !req
531. You'll be all right. You'll be all right!Copy !req
532. Oh, Maa! Maa!Copy !req
533. Maa! Maa!Copy !req
534. Maa!Copy !req
535. Maa!Copy !req
536. Home, Pig.Copy !req
537. Fly knew that there
was only one fate for any creature...Copy !req
538. that took the life of a sheep
on Hoggett Farm.Copy !req
539. But Fly could never believe
that Babe was a sheep killer,Copy !req
540. so she remained in the field to do something
she'd never done before: talk to the sheep.Copy !req
541. Tell me.
Who killed the old one?Copy !req
542. - Wolf!
- Wolf. Is that the only words you half- wits know?Copy !req
543. - Wolf!
- Are you saying it was a dog?Copy !req
544. - Where's Babe?
- Was it wolf or Babe?Copy !req
545. Wolf! Babe!Copy !req
546. Farmer Hoggett was carrying
something in the crook of one arm.Copy !req
547. A kind of black, shiny tube.Copy !req
548. Come, Pig.Copy !req
549. The pig had a vague
memory that shiny tubes produced food,Copy !req
550. and guessed that some
quite unexpected surprise...Copy !req
551. would come out
of two small round mouths.Copy !req
552. Babe! Wolf!Copy !req
553. Babe! Wolf!Copy !req
554. Quiet!Copy !req
555. Fly decided to speak very slowly,Copy !req
556. for it was a cold fact of nature
that sheep were stupid...Copy !req
557. and no one would ever
persuade her otherwise.Copy !req
558. Please, please
would you be...Copy !req
559. so kind as to tell me
what happened?Copy !req
560. Quiet!Copy !req
561. Please, tell me
what happened this morning.Copy !req
562. The sheep spoke very slowly...Copy !req
563. for it was a cold fact of nature
that wolves were ignorant...Copy !req
564. and nothing would
convince them otherwise.Copy !req
565. Babe came!
He saved us!Copy !req
566. - The wolves killed Maa.
- But Babe drove the wolves away!Copy !req
567. Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you all very much!Copy !req
568. Pleasure talkin' to ya.Copy !req
569. Hooey! Hoggett!
Hooey! Arthur!Copy !req
570. Oh, there you are!
Well, what do you think?Copy !req
571. That was the police on the telephone.
Said there are wild dogs about.Copy !req
572. Apparently the Mitchells
lost six lambs this morning.Copy !req
573. What are you doing
with that gun?Copy !req
574. Oh, I... Nothing.Copy !req
575. Pig of Destiny!Copy !req
576. It's all very simple.
Half an hour at 350 degrees.Copy !req
577. I've given you
rabbit casserole for Friday.Copy !req
578. Now, for Duchess, it's liver
in the morning, heart for the evening.Copy !req
579. Except Fridays, when it's steak in
the morning, and cooked liver at night.Copy !req
580. Warm it up a bit but test it, because she
bites into it before she knows what's what.Copy !req
581. That'll be the bus.Copy !req
582. - Oh, bye, bye.
- Have a good time. Bye.Copy !req
583. Hello, everyone!Copy !req
584. Oh, dearie me, Valda.Copy !req
585. I know I have to be
at the National Conference.Copy !req
586. I am the Assistant General Secretary
of the Northeast Region after all,Copy !req
587. but I do worry about
leaving that man alone.Copy !req
588. - Still acting a bit strange?
- Just silly things.Copy !req
589. Odd little things
only a wife would notice.Copy !req
590. - Still, he can't get up to too much mischief in three days.
- Of course not.Copy !req
591. Go on.Copy !req
592. Go on!Copy !req
593. Oh! Good evening. Shame about the weather.Copy !req
594. Nasty cough!Copy !req
595. It had been
a long time since Arthur Hoggett...Copy !req
596. had had an animal in whose abilities
he had so much faith.Copy !req
597. And with the National Grand Challenge
Sheepdog Trials only two days away,Copy !req
598. he wasn't going to let the fact
that his animal was a pig deter him.Copy !req
599. He had been worried,
for he was a truthful man,Copy !req
600. that the heading might say
"Name of dog."Copy !req
601. And then whatever he put
would be a lie.Copy !req
602. But as it happened, luck,
for the moment, was running with him.Copy !req
603. It's all right, really!Copy !req
604. I'm just, well... Bless you.Copy !req
605. Whoa, whoa!
Uh, easy, whoa! Ah.Copy !req
606. Oh, no.Copy !req
607. - So, ah... what's happening?
- Oh, no.Copy !req
608. Shh. Easy, easy.Copy !req
609. - Good pig. Good pig.
- Huh? Huh?Copy !req
610. Hold still.
Hold still.Copy !req
611. Huh?Copy !req
612. There are many
perfectly nice cats in the world.Copy !req
613. But every barrel
has its bad apples.Copy !req
614. And it is well to heed
the old adage,Copy !req
615. "Beware the bad cat
bearing a grudge."Copy !req
616. - How are you feeling?
- A bit tired.Copy !req
617. You'll need a good sleep to put you
in top condition tomorrow.Copy !req
618. Don't stay up too late.
Good night.Copy !req
619. Good night, Mom.Copy !req
620. Oh, do forgive me
for scratching you, dear.Copy !req
621. I got a bit carried away.
It's a cat thing.Copy !req
622. Oh. Well...
But oh...Copy !req
623. Feeling good about tomorrow,
are you?Copy !req
624. Mm-hmm. It should be all right,
I think.Copy !req
625. I probably shouldn't say this,
but I'm not sure if you realize...Copy !req
626. how much the other animals are laughing
at you for this sheepdog business.Copy !req
627. Why would they do that?Copy !req
628. Well, they say that you've forgotten
that you're a pig. Isn't that silly?Copy !req
629. They even say that you
don't know what pigs are for.Copy !req
630. What do you mean?Copy !req
631. - You know... why pigs are here.
- Why are any of us here?Copy !req
632. Well, the cow's here
to be milked.Copy !req
633. The dogs are here to help
the boss's husband with the sheep.Copy !req
634. And I'm here to be beautiful
and affectionate to the boss.Copy !req
635. Yes?Copy !req
636. The fact is that pigs
don't have a purpose.Copy !req
637. Just like ducks
don't have a purpose.Copy !req
638. - I don't...
- All right, for you own sake, I'll be blunt.Copy !req
639. Why do the bosses keep ducks?
To eat them.Copy !req
640. So why do the bosses
keep a pig?Copy !req
641. The fact is that animals that don't seem
to have a purpose really do have a purpose.Copy !req
642. The bosses have to eat. It's probably
the most noble purpose of all...Copy !req
643. when you come
to think about it.Copy !req
644. They eat pigs?Copy !req
645. Pork, they call it.
Or bacon.Copy !req
646. They only call them pigs
when they're alive.Copy !req
647. But, uh, I'm a sheep pig!Copy !req
648. The boss's husband's just
playing a little game with you.Copy !req
649. Believe me, sooner or later,
every pig gets eaten.Copy !req
650. That's the way
the world works.Copy !req
651. Oh! I haven't upset you,
have I?Copy !req
652. - Mom?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
653. - Mom!
- Good heavens!Copy !req
654. What on earth are you doing
out in the rain?Copy !req
655. You should be looking after yourself
with such a big day ahead of you.Copy !req
656. - Are pigs for eatin'?
- Who told you that?Copy !req
657. The cat told me. Pigs don't have
a purpose except to be eaten.Copy !req
658. Is it true?Copy !req
659. It's true.
For many pigs, it's true.Copy !req
660. So my mother, my father,
my brothers and my sisters,Copy !req
661. - all...
- Probably, dear.Copy !req
662. - Do you want to talk about it?
- No, it's all right.Copy !req
663. I understand.
I'll be all right.Copy !req
664. Even... the boss?Copy !req
665. Yes, dear.Copy !req
666. Ooh! Ooo!Copy !req
667. Babe?Copy !req
668. Babe!Copy !req
669. Babe!Copy !req
670. Babe!Copy !req
671. Babe!Copy !req
672. Babe's run away.Copy !req
673. Rex?Copy !req
674. Please?Copy !req
675. Call the boss.Copy !req
676. He's over here.Copy !req
677. Hold on, Pig.
You'll be home soon.Copy !req
678. He's got a cold, but that doesn't
explain a pig not eating.Copy !req
679. He's got me stonkered, Arthur.
But I can tell you this.Copy !req
680. If you don't get fluids into him soon,
you're gonna lose him.Copy !req
681. C'mon, son.
Pull yourself together.Copy !req
682. The boss needs you.Copy !req
683. Here we go.Copy !req
684. Come on, Pig.
Ah, come on.Copy !req
685. There's my boy.Copy !req
686. Come on, then.
Come on.Copy !req
687. Listen, Arthur,
I'll tell you what we can do.Copy !req
688. You're listed third, but we can
put you last in the program.Copy !req
689. However, you must be here by 3:30;
otherwise you'll be disqualified.Copy !req
690. All right.Copy !req
691. And welcome back to the National Grand
Challenge Sheepdog Trials...Copy !req
692. coming today from the Kingsmith Show
Ground in the heart of sheep country.Copy !req
693. The weather's been patchy,Copy !req
694. but we've already seen some wonderful
work by these talented dogs.Copy !req
695. Stay there.Copy !req
696. Excuse me, sheep.Copy !req
697. Hello! Hello!
Good morning to you all!Copy !req
698. I've never met a sheep
with such a strong, dark face.Copy !req
699. Are they feeding you well?Copy !req
700. Babe, I'll try.Copy !req
701. All right, blockheads!
Pay attention over here!Copy !req
702. Now, you pay attention
to what this pig has to say...Copy !req
703. or I'll come in there
and rip you to shreds!Copy !req
704. Hadn't thought of this. Keep talking
to them. I'll see what I can do.Copy !req
705. - Doesn't it look a picture? Our show ground on the telly!
- Apart from the weather.Copy !req
706. - Look! There's your Bert!
- Bert Ford and Sweep doing very well.Copy !req
707. - Sweep's having a little trouble with this gate, Clive.
- A lot of trouble actually.Copy !req
708. - That's going to set Bert back.
- Don't worry, Valda. Just a little slipup.Copy !req
709. Look, he's doing
much better now.Copy !req
710. Too many loose sheep.
And Sweep's usually such a reliable dog.Copy !req
711. Hey, whoa.
Stop!Copy !req
712. If those sheep won't talk to Babe,
the boss is going to look like an idiot.Copy !req
713. - I don't know what to do.
- There is one thing.Copy !req
714. I gotta go!
I'll try to be back in time.Copy !req
715. Ahem. It must've been
terrible weather for you,Copy !req
716. out in the field with all this rain we've been having.Copy !req
717. Hey, that dog's
in a hurry.Copy !req
718. Come on, Nick,
I got a beer and a TV waiting.Copy !req
719. The last entry
is Pig. Owner, A. Hoggett.Copy !req
720. - Was that "Hoggett"?
- I think it was!Copy !req
721. - Huh?
- He said Hoggett. It was clear as a bell.Copy !req
722. Must be another Hoggett. We only have
the two dogs, and they certainly...Copy !req
723. aren't...Copy !req
724. Wolf! Wolf!Copy !req
725. Wolf! Wolf!Copy !req
726. Shut up, you morons!Copy !req
727. The little pig's in trouble.Copy !req
728. What trouble has come
to our Babe, wolf?Copy !req
729. The sheep at the trials
won't talk to the little fellow.Copy !req
730. They won't listen.
He doesn't know what to do.Copy !req
731. Don't know what
we could do to help.Copy !req
732. - It's not right to give help to a wolf.
- You wait here, wolf.Copy !req
733. You'll have to speak up.
I'm a... little hard of hearing.Copy !req
734. I asked you
to wait here, wolf.Copy !req
735. Do what you're told
by an old sheep for a change.Copy !req
736. We'll see
what we can do for you.Copy !req
737. Work completed.
Restore power.Copy !req
738. Very frustrating
to be sitting up here...Copy !req
739. wondering
what's causing the delay.Copy !req
740. We have someone on their way
to the judges' rooms now.Copy !req
741. We'll tell you what's causing
the problem as soon as we find out.Copy !req
742. - Perhaps it's a drug test?
- Yeah, it could be.Copy !req
743. I've never heard of a drug test at a sheepdog contest before.Copy !req
744. We've got somethin' here
that might be of use to our pig.Copy !req
745. Password! Password!Copy !req
746. Before we gives you anythin',Copy !req
747. - you'll be makin' us a solemn promise.
- Yes?Copy !req
748. - Treat us civil!
- Yes! You gotta treat us nice- like.Copy !req
749. I'll try.Copy !req
750. - No bitin'!
- That's right. Wolf must avoid bitin' us sheep...Copy !req
751. - at all costs!
- All right! I'll try that too.Copy !req
752. It's preposterous! We'd be the laughingstock
of every sheepdog organization...Copy !req
753. - in every civilized country in the world!
- There's no rule...Copy !req
754. We'll see about that when the adjudication
committee have finished their meeting.Copy !req
755. What will we have next year,
a laughing hyena doing show jumping?Copy !req
756. But the most important of all,
you must promise...Copy !req
757. never ever to let this password
we be about to give...Copy !req
758. to be used against
any sheep anywhere.Copy !req
759. I promise you that.
I'll make sure the pig knows it too.Copy !req
760. - We have the promise!
- 'Tis for Babe.Copy !req
761. Maa would have wanted it.Copy !req
762. Baa, ram, ewe.Copy !req
763. Baa, ram, ewe.Copy !req
764. To your breed, your fleece,
your clan be true.Copy !req
765. Sheep be true.
Baa, ram, ewe.Copy !req
766. Is that it?
Is that the password?Copy !req
767. Mr. Hoggett, the judges
would like me to convey to you...Copy !req
768. their disappointment
that a man such as yourself,Copy !req
769. with a long and honorable association with
the work of National Sheepdog Association,Copy !req
770. should see fit to flout...Copy !req
771. the historic conventions
which have long ruled our sport.Copy !req
772. However we find there
is no rule, as such,Copy !req
773. which would prevent your...
animal... being entered.Copy !req
774. The committee has ruled
that if you wish to proceed,Copy !req
775. there is nothing we can do
to stop you.Copy !req
776. What do you wish
to do?Copy !req
777. There appears
to be some movement down there now.Copy !req
778. I expect if there are
no further problems,Copy !req
779. we shall see Hoggett
and his dog Pig.Copy !req
780. - Unusual name. Strange name, isn't it?
- Pig.Copy !req
781. Anyone for a game
of cards?Copy !req
782. Oh, good grief! Look!Copy !req
783. He's a fool!Copy !req
784. Entry number 23,
Mr. A. Hoggett with Pig.Copy !req
785. This is just too crazy to believe.Copy !req
786. And if that isn't enough.
We have a stray dog on the field.Copy !req
787. They trying to round him up?Copy !req
788. The dog's gonna give a few tips
on how to be a sheep pig.Copy !req
789. Well,
it's up to him now.Copy !req
790. Away to me, Pig.Copy !req
791. Get off!Copy !req
792. Baa, ram, ewe.
Baa, ram, ewe!Copy !req
793. To your breed, your fleece,
your clan be true.Copy !req
794. Sheep be true.
Baa, ram, ewe.Copy !req
795. What...
what did you say?Copy !req
796. Get yourself a dog, Hoggett.Copy !req
797. There, there, Esme.
It's not the end of the world.Copy !req
798. Is he just going to
stand there until his time runs out?Copy !req
799. Or could this be
some sort of protest?Copy !req
800. Maybe we should line up an
interview with the sheep pig?Copy !req
801. Or the sheep pig's trainer.Copy !req
802. He's a lively sort of fellow
by the looks of things.Copy !req
803. Good heavens!Copy !req
804. - Hey!
- Shh.Copy !req
805. It's Babe!Copy !req
806. I... I...Copy !req
807. - It, uh...
- Hmm.Copy !req
808. Oh, beautifully done! I can't
tell you how grateful I am to y'all.Copy !req
809. Now, for one last favor.Copy !req
810. If the three ladies with collars
would kindly walk out of the ring,Copy !req
811. I'd be very much obliged.Copy !req
812. And so it was that
in all the celebration,Copy !req
813. in all the hubbub
of noise and excitement,Copy !req
814. there were two figures
who stood silent and still...Copy !req
815. side by side.Copy !req
816. The pig did it! The perfect score!Copy !req
817. Yippee! Yippee!Copy !req
818. And though every single human
in the stands or in the commentary boxes...Copy !req
819. was at a complete loss
for words,Copy !req
820. the man, who in his life had uttered
fewer words than any of them...Copy !req
821. knew exactly what to say.Copy !req
822. That'll do, Pig.Copy !req
823. That'll do.Copy !req
824. And a-one and a-two
and a-three. Hit it.Copy !req
