Big Mama Quotes in The Fox and the Hound (1981)

Big Mama: Tod, that Copper is going to come back a hunting dog, a real killer.

Young Tod: Oh no, not my friend Copper. He won't ever change.

Big Mama: I hope you're right.

Young Tod: And we'll keep on being friends forever. Right, Big Mama?

Big Mama: Darling, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things.

Big Mama: Listen good, Tod, 'cause it's either education or elimination.

Big Mama: Oh boy, these old wings ain't what they used to be. Big Mama, you better lose a few pounds.

Big Mama: [to Tod] Now, if you're so foxy, and old Chief's so dumb, then why does that hound get the fox on the run? 'Cause he's got the hunter, and the hunter's got the gun. Kablaam! Elimination. Lack of education.

Young Tod: Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track on me down. Why, Copper, he's my very best friend.

Big Mama: Ho-ho, your best friend! Now Copper's gonna do what he's been told. Supposed to chase the little fox in the old fox hole. And along comes the hunter with a buckshot load.

Boomer: [pretending to shoot a gun] K-K-Kabaam!

[Dinky pretends to get shot and falls off the tree]

Big Mama: Elimination.

Dinky: [lying on the ground] Lack of education.

Big Mama: You better believe it, Tod, yes siree.

Young Tod: You mean Copper is gonna be my enemy?
