[after Rocky leaves]
Babs : Perhaps he just went on holiday.
Bunty : [grabbing Babs' knitting, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on it] Perhaps he just went to get away from your infernal knitting!
Mac : Well, you were the one that was always hitting him. Let's see how you like it.
[shoves Bunty]
Bunty : Don't push me, four-eyes.
[other chickens start fighting]

[after the reason for Rocky's flying ability is discovered]
Mac : A cannon. Aye, *that* would give ye thrust.
-
Mac : Right, we tried going under the fence, and that didn't work. So the plan now is, we go over it.
[Unveils the model catapult]
Mac : [Holds up turnip chicken] This is us, right? We go in here, like this, wind her up, and let her go!
[Catapult sends turnip flying into wall; chickens cluck frantically]

Mac : [very rapidly, with a thick Scottish accent] Thrust! I went over my calculations, hen, and I forgot the key element missing is thrust!
Rocky : [after a long pause] I didn't get a word of that.
Mac : Thrust. Other birds, like ducks and geese, when they take off, what do they have?
[shouts]
Mac : Thrust!
Rocky : I swear she ain't using real words.
Ginger : She said we need more thrust.
Rocky : Oh, thrust! Of course we need thrust. Why, thrust and flying are, well, like this.
[crosses fingers]
Rocky : See, that's flying and that's thrust.

Ginger : This isn't good, Mac. Whatever's in those boxes is for us, and I don't think it's softer hay.
Mac : Aye, hen. And I hate to be the voice of doom, but I've been calculating my figures, and... I just don't think we're built for flyin'.
Mac : But I saw him. He flew in over that fence.
Ginger : Aye, aye, I believe you, but if we could see it for ourselves, that might answer some questions.
Ginger : [sighs] You're right. I'm sorry. We've been at this all week and we're getting nowhere. If his wing were better, he could-- Oh! I'll have a word with him.
