Pig: What does it mean when people say things aren't what they appear to be? Rat: Well, take that girl over there. Pig: What about her? Rat: She appears to be listening to music on her iPod. But she's not. She just keeps those earbuds in her ears to keep losers she doesn't want to talk to from talking to her. Pig: Ohhh, that's not true, is- Woman: Lalalalalalaa listening to music... Can't hear anything...

Rat should be able to spot someone doing that, since he himself was busted doing the same thing. Doesn’t make the idea any less genius though.

Significantly, she doesn’t try that on Rat [the arrogant, manipulative, rat bast…], but on Pig [the kind, sweet, considerate]. Is there some kind of lesson here?

If she were my sister she’d have it turned on and cranked up so everyone could hear what she was playing even with the ear buds in her ears. And then yell that it’s not loud enough for you to know what she’s listening to, even after you recite the lyrics to her.

That dumb Pig’s a born loser.

If she were a pig she might be more receptive. You might have to settle for (ugh!) Pigita, Pig.

I pretend that I’m talking on my cell phone. It works well.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if all those people who roam the streets of New York, talking to themselves, were paired off so that they could walk around in couples and look like they’re having a conversation?” (Lily Tomlin)

Supposedly a comment from Winston Churchill while visiting a farm: “I like pigs. Dogs look up to you; cats look down on you but pigs treat you as equals”
