Babe (1995): The Duck's Plan

The clip The duck's plan from Babe (1995) with Danny Mann, Christine Cavanaugh

[ Narrator ] When embarking on an audacious crime, a duck needs a willing accomplice.
A creature who is reliable, beyond suspicion, and above all, extremely gullible.
Hey! Psst!
Wha-
What?
You look like an intelligent, sophisticated, discerning young fella.
Who, me?
Yeah. Follow me. Oh, boy! Are you in for some fun!
What are we doin'? Where are we goin'?
[ Narrator ] Now the duck knew exactly what he had to do.
The alarm clock had to go. His very life depended on it.
[ Duck ] Do you see it?
Yes.
Good.
[ Babe ] So I go through the kitchen, across the living room...
Good, good.
into the bedroom.
Get the mechanical rooster and bring it out to you.
What about that cat?
But quietly bring it out to you.
Excellent.
I don't think I can do it.
It's against the rules. Only dogs and cats allowed in the house.
It's a good rule, but this is bigger than rules. This is life and death.
It is?
Mm-hmm. Follow me.
[ Duck ] Hello! Look, there's something you should know.
Humans eat ducks!
[ Gasps ] I beg your pardon?
Most ducks prefer to forget it, but the fact is that humans like to eat plump ducks.
I don't think so. Not the boss. Not the boss's wife.
Come on. Humans don't eat cats. Why?
Well, they're-
They're indispensable. They catch mice.
Humans don't eat roosters. Why? They make eggs with the hens and wake up everyone in the morning.
I tried it with the hens. It didn't work.
So I turned to crowing, and lo! I discover my gift.
But no sooner do I become indispensable than they bring in a machine to do the job!
[ Moaning ] Ah, the treachery of it!
A mechanical rooster!
Oh, dear me.
Oh, dear you? [ Sighing ]
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.
