Mr. Fox : [sighs] Who am I, Kylie?
Kylie : Who how? What now?
Mr. Fox : Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I? And how can a fox ever be happy without, you'll forgive the expression, a chicken in its teeth?
Kylie : I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds illegal.

Mrs. Fox : [sees her husband, Kris and Kylie sneaking through the kitchen] Another book party?
Mr. Fox : [surprised] Oh! I didn't see you sitting in the dark over there.
[grins sheepishly]
Mr. Fox : Yeah! No actually, there's a fire. I just got the call; they said maybe it's arson. I've got to interview the marshal and see if it's...
Mrs. Fox : [turns on the light] Kylie, is he telling the truth?
Kylie : I... I don't want to be put into the middle of this!
Mr. Fox : Thanks, Kylie.
Mrs. Fox : Why is he wearing that bandit hat?
[points at Kris, wearing a bandit hat]
Mr. Fox : His ears were cold. He's not with us.
[to Kris]
Mr. Fox : Go back to bed.
[Kris leaves and closes the door]
Mrs. Fox : If what I think is happening, IS happening... it better not be.

Mr. Fox : In a way, I'm almost glad that flood interrupted us because I don't like the toast I was giving. I'm gonna start over. When I look down this table, with the exquisite feast set before us, I see: two terrific lawyers, a skilled pediatrician, a wonderful chef, a savvy real estate agent, an excellent tailor, a crack accountant, a gifted musician, pretty good minnow fisherman, and possibly the best landscape painter working on the scene today. Maybe a few of you might even read my column from time to time, Who knows? I tend to doubt it.
[pause]
Mr. Fox : I also see a room full of wild animals. Wild animals, with true natures and pure talents. Wild animals with scientific-sounding Latin names that mean something about our DNA. Wild animals each with his own strengths and weaknesses due to his or her species. Anyway, I think it may very well be all the beautiful differences among us that might just give us the tiniest glimmer of a chance of saving my nephew, and letting me make it up to you for getting us into this, this crazy... whatever it is. I don't know. It's just a thought. Thank you for listening. Cheers, everyone.
[mimics draining an imaginary glass and smashing it to the floor]
Kylie : Let's eat!
[everyone stares at Kylie]
Kylie : What? I was just playin' along with the bit he was doing...

Kylie : Apple juice... apple juice flood...

Ash : [Mr. Fox has just lost his tail in the shooting] It'll grow back, won't it?
Kylie : Tails don't grow back.
Ash : Tails don't grow back?
Kylie : Uh-uh. 'Cept for lizards.
Mr. Fox : Tails don't grow back. I'm gonna be tail-less for the rest of my life.
Ash : Well, anyway, it's not half as bad as double pneumonia, right? I mean his dad's got one foot in the grave and three feet on a banana peel. That's a lot worse than just a...
Kristofferson : [ricochets an acorn around the room, which lands in the teacup he is holding] Excuse me, everyone. I'm gonna go meditate for half an hour.
[exits quickly]
Mrs. Fox : [to Ash] You have got twenty-nine minutes to come up with a proper apology.
Ash : Me? ME have an apology? He gets a bandit hat? He just got here, and he gets a bandit hat? Where's MY bandit hat? Why didn't I get shot at? It's because, you... you... you think I'm no good at anything! Well, maybe you're right, thanks.
[stomps away angrily and slams door upon exit]
Kylie : [to Mr. Fox] Told ya not to bring him.

Mr. Fox : Wake up, everybody, they're digging us out!
Mrs. Fox : They'll kill the children!
Mr. Fox : Over my dead body they will!
Mrs. Fox : That's what I'm saying, you'd be dead too in that scenario!
Mr. Fox : Well, I'm arguing against that!
Mrs. Fox : What are you talking about?
Mr. Fox : WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT ME?
Kylie : STOP, STOP, STOP! You say one thing, she says another, and it all changes back again!

Mr. Fox : I spotted a couple of broken burglar bars underneath the back door to Bean's secret cider cellar.
Kylie : We're breaking into Bean's *house*?
Mr. Fox : Cellar.
Kylie : Where he *lives*?
Mr. Fox : Where he keeps the cider.
Ash : [appears behind them] *Below* where he lives.
Mr. Fox : [takes] Where'd you come from? Why don't you go back to the tree and do your homework?
Ash : I want to help you steal some cider.
Mr. Fox : *We're* going to a *book* party, and keep your mouth shut about any cider, because no one ever said that! Now get out of here!
Ash : But, ah...
Mr. Fox : But nothing! You're gonna get me in a lot of trouble! Besides, you're too little and uncoordinated.
[Ash frowns, twitches, and spits]
Mr. Fox : One, two, three!
[Mr. Fox points in the direction of the tree. Ash stomps off, growling]

Kylie : You're paranoid, Foxy.
