-
Mr. Tweedy : [being attacked by chickens] Mrs. Tweedy! The chickens are revolting!
Mrs. Tweedy : [with her back turned] Finally, something we agree on.
-
Mr. Tweedy : Ooh, that's champion, that is. What is it?
Mrs. Tweedy : It's a pie machine, you idiot. Chickens go in, pies come out.
Mr. Tweedy : Ooh! What kind of pies?
Mrs. Tweedy : Apple.
Mr. Tweedy : My favorite!
Mrs. Tweedy : Chicken pies, you great lummox! Imagine it. In less than a fortnight, every grocers' in the county will be stocked with box upon box of Mrs. Tweedy's Homemade Chicken Pies.
Mr. Tweedy : Just... "Mrs."?
Mrs. Tweedy : Woman's touch. Makes the public feel more comfortable.

Mr. Tweedy : Oh, yes. Those chickens are up to something.
Mrs. Tweedy : Quiet. I'm onto something.
Mr. Tweedy : They're organised, I know it.
Mrs. Tweedy : I said quiet.
Mr. Tweedy : And that Ginger one, I reckon she's their leader.
Mrs. Tweedy : [losing her patience and slamming her fist on the table] Mr. Tweedy! I may finally have found a way to make us some real money around here and what are you on about? Ridiculous notions of escaping chickens!
Mr. Tweedy : [stammering] But... but...
Mrs. Tweedy : It's all in your head, Mr. Tweedy. Say it!
Mr. Tweedy : It's all in me head. It's all in me head.
Mrs. Tweedy : Now, you keep telling yourself that because I don't want to hear another word about it! Is that clear?
Mr. Tweedy : Yes, love. But you know that Ginger one...
Mrs. Tweedy : They're *chickens*, you dolt! Apart from you, they're the most stupid creatures on this planet. They don't plot, they don't scheme, and they are *not* organised!
-
Mr. Tweedy : What... what... what's all this, then?
Mrs. Tweedy : This is our future, Mr. Tweedy. No more wasting time with petty egg collecting and minuscule profits.
Mr. Tweedy : No more eggs? But we've always been egg farmers. Me father, and his father, and all their fathers, they was all...
Mrs. Tweedy : Poor. Worthless. Nothings. But all that is about to change. This will take Tweedy's farm out of the Dark Ages and into full-scale automated production. Melisha Tweedy will be poor no longer.
-
Mrs. Tweedy : He's valuable, you say?
Circus Man : Sure.
Mrs. Tweedy : [to Mr. Tweedy] Get the torch.
-
Mrs. Tweedy : [after Ginger escaped] Mr. Tweedy.
Mr. Tweedy : Eh?
Mrs. Tweedy : What is that chicken doing outside the fence?
Mr. Tweedy : Oh!
[chuckles]
Mr. Tweedy : I don't know, love. I...
Mrs. Tweedy : Just deal with it. Now!
[slams the door shut]
