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!

[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.
