Bunk Bed Disputes Among Unlikely Allies
Fowler
Absolutely outrageous! Asking a senior officer to share his quarters! And with a non-commissioned Yank, no less! Why, back in my day, I'd never...
Rocky Rhodes
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 Rhodes
Just... What's that smell, is that your breath?
[snapping back]
Fowler
It's absolutely outrageous.

The Origin of the Egg Debate
Nick
The egg, obviously. Rollin along happy as Larry, then, crack! Hatches into the first chicken.
Fetcher
Yeah, but where'd the egg come from, then?
Nick
], where'd it come from?
[[Tinker Bell (film)|What do you mean]
Fetcher
Egg comes rollin along, happy as Larry. It's wonderin', where'd it come from? Without a chicken, you get no egg to come rollin along.
Nick
Well, conversely, without an egg to hatch into the chicken, there will be no chicken to lay the other egg that hatches into the chicken that lays the egg I mentioned in the first place.
Fetcher
So we got two eggs now?
Nick
No, we're still talking about the very first egg.
Fetcher
But what happened about the very first chicken?
Nick
He's in the very first egg! Aren't you listenin'?

Understanding the Chicken Farm Situation
Rocky Rhodes
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! Let's back up and start from the top. Where am I?
Ginger
Uh, you're right, how rude of us. We're just very exci– This is a chicken farm.
[clears throat]
Babs
And we're the chickens.
[winks]
Rocky Rhodes
Ah, I'm with you so far. Chicken farm, chickens...
Fowler
I don't like the look of this one. His eyes are too close together.
[about Rocky]
Ginger
Fowler, please!
Fowler
And he's a yank!
Rocky Rhodes
Easy, pops. Cockfighting's illegal where I come from.

And where is that, exactly?
Rocky Rhodes
Ah, just a little place I call The Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave.
Mac
Scotland!
Rocky Rhodes
No! America!

Rocky Rhodes
Catchy, ain't it?
Ginger
Um, Mr. Rhodes, is this you?
Rocky Rhodes
Uh... who wants to know?
Ginger
A group of rather desperate chickens. You see, if it IS you, then you just might be the answer to our prayers.
Rocky Rhodes
Well, then, call me a miracle, doll face, cause that's me.
Chickens
Oooh!
Ginger

Exploring New Ideas for Escape Plans
Ginger
Think everyone, think. What haven't we tried yet?
Babs
Uh...
Bunty
We haven't tried NOT trying to escape.
Babs
Hmm. That might work.
[happily]
Ginger
What about Edwina? How many more empty nests will it take?
Bunty
Well, perhaps it wouldn't be empty if she'd spent more time laying and less time escaping!
Ginger
So laying eggs all your life and then getting plucked, stuffed and roasted is good enough for you, it is guilty?
Babs
It's a living.
Ginger
Do you know what the problem is? The fences aren't just around the farm, they're up here . There is a better place out there, beyond on the hill, outdoors, trees and grass. You imagine it. Cool grass green.
[Points to head]
Agnes
And who feeds us?
Ginger
We feed ourselves.

Babs

He isn't anywhere! Don't you get it? There's no morning head count no farmers, no dogs, no coups and locks and keys, and no fences!
Bunty
In all my life, I've never heard such a fantastic... LOAD OF TRIPE. Let's face the facts, ducks. The chances of US getting out of HERE are 1,000,000 to 1.

The Egg or the Chicken Debate
Nick
Ey, ey, here's a thought. Why don't we get an egg and start our own chicken farm? That way we'll 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 you gonna get an 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 gotta get the chicken first to get the egg, and then the egg, you get the chicken out.
Fetcher
Hang on. Let's go over this again.

So, you wanna fly? Well, it ain't gonna be easy, and it ain't gonna happen overnight either. You see, flying takes three things - hard work, perseverance and... hard work.

You said "hard work" twice!
Rocky
That's because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.

Quiet there! Quiet, I say! Dissension in the ranks. Precisely what Jerry would have wanted. The old divide and conquer. A proper squadron work together, like we did in my R.A.F. days. Jocko at the stick, Flappy at the map, and old Whizzbang at the tail-end Charlie. WingCo would give the call, hop in the old crate, chocks away! Wizard show it was. That's how you get medals.
