Mr. Arable Quotes in Charlotte's Web (2006)

Mr. Arable: [Mr. Arable looks at pigs, finds a runt, a picks up ax]

Fern: What are you doing?

Mr. Arable: Nothing, now go back to bed.

Fern: You're not going to kill it, are you?

Mr. Arable: It's a runt.

Mr. Arable: Fern, I'm really sorry, honey, but it's been long enough.

Fern: What?

Mr. Arable: Look, he's not a baby anymore. I can't have you keeping what will soon be a 300-pound pet around the house.

Fern: No. Can't he stay in the barn? Please, dad?

Mr. Arable: No.

Fern: Please?

Mr. Arable: No. Fern, look. You know I've been selling the animals to get the new harvesting equipment. Pretty soon, there's gonna be no place in the barn for a pig.

Fern: I promised I'd take care of him.

Mr. Arable: No. I'm letting you out of your promise.

Fern: I didn't promise you. I promised Wilbur.
