Oh, dear you?

I suppose the life

of an anorexic duck...

doesn't amount to much in

the broad scheme of things.

But, Pig,

I'm all I've got.

Why do you need me to do it?

- I'm allergic to cats.

- Oh.

They make me sneeze.

Ahh.

Don't worry. I won't wake the cat.

My life is in your hands.

Oh, dear.

Oh, no!

Ah, boy.

No, no, no!

Your foot, your foot! Take

the string off your foot.

Wait, wait. Let me put it

this way. Stop. Turn around-

Shh.

No, no! The other way! Turn-

No, stop! Oh!

Stop! Stop, stop, stop!

Don't, don't, stupid. Go outside... now.

- But you said you can't do without me.

- I can. Trust me, I can.

- Are you sure? You're positive?

- Yes!

- Go outside and stand guard.

- Okay. Good idea.

Oh, boy. Want something done,

you gotta do it yourself.

- Hmm.

- Guard against what?

Ahh! Ahh! Don't worry.

Stick with me and please, I

beg you, not one more word.

All right.

Aah-

Don't sneeze, Ferdie.

- Just hold your

breath. - Ahhh-

Ah-choo!

It was my mistake. I was trying

to loosen things up a little.

But, no. Today proves

that it doesn't work.

From now on, we'll

all respect the rules.

To each creature its own destiny.

Every animal in its proper place.

And a pig's proper place is under

the old cart, not in the barn.

And absolutely never in the house.

- Is that understood?

- Yes, sir.

Now, Pig, regarding the

company you keep. Being young,

it's hard to discriminate,

so I'll make it easy for you.

I forbid you to talk

to or consort with...

that duck... ever.

- Have I made myself clear?

- Uh... what's "consort"?

It means, young man,

that you must not go

anywhere near that duck.

As for the fugitive duck, when he

shows himself, let him know this:

Being a duck he must behave like a duck.

No more of this crowing and nonsense.

He should accept what he

is and be thankful for it.

- That goes for all of us.

- Here, here!

Rex continued long into the night.

Elsewhere, there was more talk.

The subject was Christmas dinner...

and whether that year the main

course would be roast pork...

or Duck a l'Orange.

And pork is a nice, sweet meat.

Then there's the crackling. That

always adds interest and texture.

Get him!

Get the pig! Get the pig! Get the pig!

Get him! Get him!

- Psst!

- Ferdinand!

- Everyone's been looking for you.

- Shh. Shh.

- What is this place?

- What's happenin' out there?

Rex isn't very happy.

Boy, all these new rules!

I'm not allowed to

- Oops.

Not allowed to what?

Huh?

- Piggy!

- What? You didn't see me, all right?

And I didn't see you. All right? Oops.

The time comes for all creatures...

when childhood ends...

and the doorway opens

to life as an adult.

And so it was with Fly's pups.
