Jack Sugden : Was it free-range?
Marian Wilks : Does it matter?
Jack Sugden : It seems a bit rough to condemn a creature to life imprisonment and then execute it as well.
Norman Harrison : People have to be fed somehow.
Jack Sugden : Why?
Norman Harrison : You don't think chickens are more important than people?
Jack Sugden : I don't think they're less.
Norman Harrison : You'd change your tune quickly enough if you were starving.
Jack Sugden : We've got starvation coming to us anyhow, unless we stop having children.
