Nick: Here's a thought. Why don't we get an egg and start our own chicken farm? That way we'd have all the eggs we could eat. Fetcher: Right. We'll need a chicken, then. Nick: No... no, we'll need an egg. You have the egg first, that's where you get the chicken from. Fetcher: No, that's cobblers. If you don't have a chicken, where are you going to get the egg? Nick: From the chicken that comes from the egg. Fetcher: Yeah, but you have to have an egg to have a chicken. Nick: Yeah, but you've got to get the chicken first to get the egg, and then you get the egg... to get the chicken out of... Fetcher: Hang on, let's go over this again?

17
Ginger: So laying eggs all your life and then getting plucked, stuffed and roasted is good enough for you, is it? Babs: It's a livin'.
18
[Babs has fainted from a near-death experience] Babs: All me life flashed before me eyes. [disappointed] Babs: It was really borin'.
19
Babs: Morning, Ginger. Back from holiday? Ginger: I wasn't on holiday, Babs. I was in solitary confinement. Babs: Oh, it's nice to get a bit of time to yourself, isn't it?
20
Bunty: In all my life, I've never heard such a fantastic load of tripe. Oh, face the facts, ducks. The chances of us getting out of here are a million to one. Ginger: Then there's still a chance.
21
Ginger: Listen. We'll either die free chickens or we die trying. Babs: Are those the only choices?
22
Rocky: Now, the most important thing is, we have to work as a team, which means: you do everything I tell you.
23
Fetcher: Birds of a feather flop together.
24
Ginger: But you're supposed to be up there - you're the pilot. Fowler: Don't be ridiculous. I can't fly this contraption. Ginger: "Back in your day"? The Royal Air Force? Fowler: 644 Squadron, Poultry Division - we were the mascots. Ginger: You mean you never actually *flew* the plane? Fowler: Good heavens, no! I'm a chicken! The Royal Air Force doesn't let chickens behind the controls of a complex aircraft.
25
Rocky: The name's Rocky. Rocky the Rhode Island Red. Rhodes for short. Bunty: Rocky Rhodes? Rocky: Catchy, ain't it?
26
Fetcher: It's raining hen.
27
Rocky: You see, flying takes three things: Hard work, perseverance and... hard work. Fowler: You said "hard work" twice. Rocky: That's because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.
28
Mr. Tweedy: 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 favourite. Mrs. Tweedy: Chicken pies, you great lummox. Imagine. 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.
29
Fowler: Pushy Americans, always showing up late for every war. Overpaid, oversexed, and over here.
30
Ginger: I should turn you in right now. Rocky: You wouldn't... would you? Ginger: Give me one reason why I shouldn't. Rocky: Because I'm... cute? [Ginger squawks to attract the farmer's attention] Rocky: Hey, what kind of crazy chick are you? Do you know what will happen if he finds me? Ginger: It's a cruel world. Rocky: I just decided I don't like you. Ginger: I just decided I don't care.
31
[the plane reels as Mrs. Tweedy hangs on to it] Fowler: Great Scott, what was that? Mac: A cling-on, Cap'n, and the engines can't take it.
32
[on the chickens' plane before take-off] Nick: The exits are located here and here. In the quite likely event of an emergency, put your head between your knees... Fetcher: …and kiss your bum goodbye!
33
Fowler: We need more power. Mac: I cannot work miracles, cap'n. We're giving her all she's got.
34
Rocky: What's eating Grandpa?
35
[after being asked where he's from] Rocky: Oh, just a little place I call the land of the free and the home of the brave... Mac: Scotland! Rocky: No! America.
36
Nick: Poultry in Motion.
37
Rocky: [Presenting himself] You see, I'm a traveller by nature. I did that whole barnyard thing for a while but I couldn't really get into it. [to one of the chickens] Rocky: Hi, how are you? [she swoons and faints, Rocky continues] Rocky: Nope! The open road, that's more my style. Yep, just give me a pack on my back and point me where the wind blows. In fact, you know what they call me back home? You're gonna love this: The Lone Free Ranger.
38
[Rocky and Ginger are in an oven] Rocky: It's like an oven in here.
39
[watching the chickens trying to fly] Nick: What's this caper, love? Babs: We're *flyin'*! Nick: [cynically] Obviously. [pause] Nick: Flamin' 'ell! Hey, look at this, Fetch. Fetcher: They're gonna kill themselves... wanna watch? [Nick thinks for a moment] Nick: Yeah, all right.
40
Nick: What are you sobbin' about, you nancy? Fetcher: Little moments like this, mate. It's what makes the job all worthwhile. Wanna dance? [Nick stares at Fetcher for a long moment] Nick: Yeah, all right.
41
[after the reason for Rocky's flying ability is discovered] Mac: A cannon. Aye, *that* would give ye thrust.
42
[Oft-repeated line] Fowler: Why, back in my RAF days...
43
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* organized.
44
Ginger: Think, everyone, think. What *haven't* we tried yet? Bunty: We haven't tried *not* trying to escape. Babs: Hmm. *That* might work.
45
Fowler: Cock-a-doodle-doo. What, what.
46
[telling Rocky about a caper] Nick: We slipped into the farmer's room, all quiet like. Fetcher: Like a fish. Nick: Yeah, and we..."Like a fish"? You stupid Norbert.
47
[Fowler is forced to share his bunk with Rocky] Fowler: Absolutely outrageous! Asking a senior officer to share his quarters and with a noncommissioned Yank, no less. Why, back in my day, I'd never... Rocky: Hey! You weren't exactly *my* first choice, either. And scoot over. Your wing's on my side of the bunk. Fowler: *Your* side of the bunk? The *whole bunk* is my side of the bunk! Rocky: [snapping back] Just... What's that smell? Is that your breath? Fowler: It's absolutely outrageous.
48
Rocky: Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You wanna get every chicken in this place out of here *at the same time*? Ginger: Of course. Rocky: You're certifiable! You can't pull off a stunt like that. That's suicide. Ginger: Where there's a will, there's a way. Rocky: Couldn't agree more. And I *will* be leaving *that* way.
49
[escaping from circus, after being shot out of a cannon] Rocky: [shouts] Freeeeeeeeeeeedom.
50
[Fowler is hesitant about piloting the Crate] Ginger: Fowler, you *have* to fly it. You're always talking about "back in your day". Well, *today* is your day. [Ginger extends to Fowler his medal] Bunty: [encouraging] You can do it, you old sausage. [Fowler stares at the medal for a moment, takes it, and salutes Ginger] Fowler: Wing Commander T.I. Fowler, reporting for duty.
