[Mrs. Arable is worried about Fern spending time only with her animal friends]
Dr. Dorian : Does she look well?
Mrs. Arable : Yes.
Dr. Dorian : Appetite's good?
Mrs. Arable : [affirmative] M-hm.
Dr. Dorian : Does she sleep well at night?
Mrs. Arable : Yes. I mean, she's right as rain in that way.
Dr. Dorian : Well, there is a name for her condition. It's called a childhood phase. And, sadly, it's something she'll grow out of.

Mrs. Arable : [Fern was about to be on her way to Wilbur] Fern, you are not going to see that pig again. It's too late.
Fern : But he's expecting me.
Mrs. Arable : And I'm expecting you to finish your homework and go straight to bed.
Fern : But, mom, I always tell him good night.
Mrs. Arable : Not tonight.
Fern : He can't sleep if I don't.

Mrs. Arable : Fern, you know better. It's a pig, okay? It's not a toy, not a doll, not a baby. A pig. And you need to start treating it like one.
