List of voters for the quote

Tristan Farnon: It's the breeding, you see?Kit Bilton: Breeding?Tristan Farnon: Mmmmm. It... it's bred into them, a sort of, uh, racial memory. The look in those little eyes wasn't one of reproach.Kit Bilton: Oh, if only I could believe that.Tristan Farnon: Then why don't you?Kit Bilton: I loved that pig. He were a friend. More, he were one of the family. [sobbing] I felt more for that pig than anybody in here! Oh, and when I say that Mr. Farnon, I hope you'll understand.Tristan Farnon: I do, Mr. Bilton, I do and... and... and so did your friend.Kit Bilton: Aye, do you reckon?Tristan Farnon: I reckon! You said yourself, he was a Christian.Kit Bilton: Mmm.Tristan Farnon: He was merely turning the other cheek.Daphne: [snorting with suppressed laughter] Snorf!Tristan Farnon: Believe me, Mr. Bilton, greater love hath no pig.Kit Bilton: [laughing] Tahahah!Kit Bilton: Well, then there's the wife. I mean, that doesn't help matters.Tristan Farnon: Well, she'll soon be over it.Kit Bilton: Well, there's naught for her to be over! She's up there with my two lasses cutting' him up and cookin' him! Happy as the day is long! I can't bear to watch it. She's got no heart, no feelings...Tristan Farnon: Yes, well, you have to make allowances. Women are different. They're, uh, more primitive.Daphne: Oh, thanks!Tristan Farnon: It's in their very nature, you see. It's basic, fundamental; the, huh... earth mother. Instinctive provider. They can't afford to think about what they're doing to a poor little pig.Kit Bilton: [sobbing] Oh!Tristan Farnon: When there are other pigs... and mouths to be fed. Their feelings have been directed elsewhere. Directed by generation after generation, listening to their mothers. What do they hear down the centuries as they cut up chops and serve the intestines? 'Feed the brute! The way to a man's heart is through his stomach!' What chance have they? Even the Queen of Hearts made tarts.Kit Bilton: By God, Mr. Farnon, I... I... I hadn't thought of it like that!Tristan Farnon: Think on Mr. Bilton. Think on.
