"A good guy to know nowadays." "This is Henny Penny and the local rocking chair brigade." "Always ready to poke their beaks into everybody's business, instead of sticking to their knitting." "Here we have them at the bridge table." "Who are they pecking to pieces now?" "Let's listen in." "Hmm." "Sound just like people, don't they?"

"A thirsty lot, always around when there's something to drink." "Now, last but not least, here is Chicken Little, playboy and yo-yo champ." "A little shy on brains, but, uh, a good egg, as chickens go." "As our story continues, we find all our fine feathered friends happy and contented." "And why not?" "Didn't they have a big, strong fence protecting them?" "But wait a minute." "What's this?" "Aha!" "It's Foxy Loxey, the poultry fancier." "Looks like he's taken an interest in our little community." "A culinary interest." "So why doesn't he just jump in and help himself?" "Do you suppose it's because of the high fence?" "Or the locks on the inside?" "Or the farmer's, uh, shotgun?" "Ha." "But I'm not a fox for nothin'." "Besides, there's more than one way to pluck a chicken." "Psychology." "Why should I just get one when I can get 'em all?"

"The sky is falling." "A piece just hit me on the head!" "The sky is falling!" "Hurry, hurry!" "Everybody, the sky is falling!" "The sky!" "The sky is falling!" "There you are, you see?" "Just like I told you." "Hit me on the head, sure enough." "My goodness, how awful." "What will we do?" " We'll all be killed." " Now, look here." " What's all the fuss and feathers?" " Something awful has happened." "A piece of the sky fell and hit me on the head." "A piece of the sky?" "Nonsense." "It's just a hunk of wood." "Guessthat'stheend  of your stew, Mr. Foxy Loxey." "All right now, folks, break it up." "Back to business as usual." "A wise guy, huh?" "I'll fix him." "Let's see now." "Hmm." "Ah, here we are." "Quote: "Undermine the faith of the masses in their leaders."" "Unquote." "I suppose Cocky Locky knows what he's talking about." "Well, yes, he ought to know." "Ahem." "But listen, girls, suppose he's wrong?" "He's only human, you know." "If he should be wrong, we'd all be killed." "Ahem." "Now, in my opinion, Cocky Locky shows definite totalitarian tendencies."

"I'm gonna tell you what to do." "Don't listen to that pipsqueak." "The sky isn't falling." " It is too falling!" " I tell you, it isn't." " Is too!" " All right." "If the sky is falling, why doesn't it hit me on the head?" " Chicken Little's right." " What will we do?" "Chicken Little, you've got to help us." "Psst." "Run to the cave." "Oh, yeah."
