Share this quote on facebook Nolan Walsh: [to Channing about Stripes] You know, he's probably got all kinds of special needs. We should... We should probably call the zoo and...
Channing Walsh: No. No zoos. You know, I don't like the idea of animals in cages.
Nolan: Honey, neither do I, but let's just see what we got here.

Share this quote on facebook Franny: Question time. What exactly are you?
Reggie: Good question.
Young Stripes: I don't know.
Tucker: Okay, we can rule out genius. [Franny kicks him] Hey!
Franny: Don't make me chew open a can of pony whup.
Tucker: Save the sweet talk for later.
[Stripes starts giggling]
Franny: [to Stripes] Don't pay any attention to him. Listen, he's all whinny and no-bite. I'm Franny, this is Reggie, and Mr. Sensitive here is Tucker.
Tucker: And that old goat there is an old goat. [the door opens] Uh-oh, it's the Chief.
Franny: He can be your student, and you can be his cousin.
Tucker: I swear, Franny! The more any animal can be funny looking, the more you wanna keep him!
Franny: Keep him? But, Tucker, you used to be nice.
Tucker: Yeah, but I got over it.
Franny: Why do you have to be such a horse's [bleating] a-a-a-a-a-ass?

Share this quote on facebook Channing: [to Stripes] Welcome to your new home, Stripes.
Nolan: Stripes?
Channing: Well, "Spot" doesn't work, now, does it?

Share this quote on facebook Reggie: [crowing] Good morning, Walsh Farm! Well, I know it's not glamorous, but it's a living. Keeps my head on my shoulders, which is more than I can say for my cousins.

Share this quote on facebook (Stripes is running)
Tucker: Hey, hey, slow down! Boy, oh, boy. Kids these days, no control. Now back in my day-
Franny: Oh, here we go again with the ancient history lesson again. Enough!

Share this quote on facebook Tucker: Just say what you mean, Franny. We haven't spoke in Latin, since the pigs left.

Share this quote on facebook Franny: Well, would you look at him. He loves to run. It's in his heart!
Tucker: Yeah, but that's not enough.
Franny: You could train him. Then it would be enough.
Tucker: Let me tell you something. the legs are too short, the head's too big, he's got as much chance to race as me. Besides, I have got better things to do.
Franny: Oh, go fix your hair.
Tucker: I heard that.

Share this quote on facebook Young Ruffshodd: [to Stripes] Nice Mohawk, dude. [to Trenton's Pride] Uh, what's a Mohawk?

Share this quote on facebook Young Trenton's Pride: Last one to the fence is a donkey!
[Sir Trenton comes to the boys]
Young Ruffshodd: Dude, it's your dad!
Young Trenton's Pride: Great.
Sir Trenton: Son, stay away from that fence!
Young Trenton's Pride: Come on, Dad we were just having some fun.
Sir Trenton: Fun is overrated. If you're going to be champion, I suggest you start acting like one.
Young Ruffshodd: Oh, your dad scares me, dude.
Young Trenton's Pride: Not me.
Sir Trenton: Pride! Ruffshodd!
Young Trenton's Pride: Coming, Father!
Young Ruffshodd: Yeah, uh, coming, Mr. Sir Trenton, sir!

Share this quote on facebook Young Stripes: I don't understand. Why won't he let them play with me?
Tucker: You're just different. And for some horses, different is scary..

Share this quote on facebook Sandy: Um, did you ever consider going around that tree instead of running through it?
Stripes: Yeah, well.... usually it moves out of my way.
Sandy: [laughs] Uh, I’ve never heard of a tree doing that.
Stripes: You don’t know the trees around here. Are you new?
Sandy: I just got here. I’m Sandy.
Stripes: I’m Stripes.
Sandy: [sounding amused] You don’t say? Hmm.
Stripes: Are you a racehorse?
Sandy: No, I'm-- I'm a jumper. I've actually competed all around the world.
Stripes: Well, I'm a racehorse. I'm training to be in the big race.
Sandy: By racing the mailman?
Stripes: Well, the other horses don't wanna race me. I'm just way too fast for them.

Share this quote on facebook Goose: Well, would you take a look at that dump? Old MacDonald has never got a farm, but he sure does have a garbage dump. Not a single drop of water in sight. Not an ocean, not even a bird bath. I'm goin' in.

Share this quote on facebook Tucker: Hey, buddy. You ever try shutting up?
Goose: You ever try swimmin’ in cement horseshoes? I’ve taken down punks bigger than you.
Tucker: Yeah? What’d you do, talk ‘em to death?
Goose: Hey, be careful, pony-boy, or someday somebody's gonna wake up with your head in their bed.
Tucker: I should've guessed from the size of that pecker you'd be a big-mouth.
Goose: Watch it, stumpy. I'd cut you off at the knees but it looks like somebody's beaten me to it.
Franny: All right. Knock it off, you two. Nobody has anything to prove here. Stop it!

Share this quote on facebook Buzz: [to Scuzz] I have 25 million brothers and sisters, and mom always tells me to look out for you!

Share this quote on facebook Stripes: [to Buzz and Scuzz] The others made fun of me, since I was born.

Share this quote on facebook Nolan Walsh: Chan!
Channing Walsh: I'm okay! Nothing's broken!
Nolan Walsh: Listen.
Channing Walsh: It's fine, dad.
Nolan Walsh: This is what I told you was gonna happen.
Clara Dalrymple: Your father is right.
Channing Walsh: He just got spooked! It's not his fault! He needs more training!

Share this quote on facebook Nolan Walsh: [to Channing Walsh] Chan, go get Stripes. Meet me in the parking lot.

Share this quote on facebook Clara Dalrymple: [to John Cooper] And what are you going to say about that?
John Cooper: Mind your own business.

Share this quote on facebook Nolan Walsh: Well, I just can't believe that you deliberately disobeyed me.
Channing Walsh: I can't believe you took her side.
Nolan Walsh: No, I didn't take her side! And don't change the subject!
Channing Walsh: Mom would've let me ride on him, you know she would--
Nolan Walsh: You know, don't bring your mother into this conservation! Just don't.
Channing Walsh: Why not? At least she would've tried to understand! It's more than I can say for you! [gets out of the truck and mounts on Stripes]
Nolan Walsh: Don't get out of the truck. Channing, get back in the truck. Don't do it.
[Channing took off on Stripes' back]

Share this quote on facebook Scuzz: Is he always like this?
Tucker: Worse. Much worse.

Share this quote on facebook Buzz: [to Stripes] Hey, Stripes! Check this out. [singing] Ebony and ivory.
Scuzz: [singing] Live together in perfect harmony.
Both: Side by side on my piano keyboard--
Stripes: Get off me, you stupid flies! Get off!
Buzz: Man, "Ebony and Ivory" didn't work. That's a first.
Scuzz: Told you we should've rapped.
Franny: [to Stripes] Stripes, you know walking away isn't going gonna solve anything.
Stripes: Who cares? Leave me alone.
Buzz: We've gotta get this kid into the race.
Tucker: Not a chance. The Chief will never go for it.
Franny: Of course he will. Just like somebody else I know. He just needs a little push.

Share this quote on facebook Tucker: Reggie?
Reggie: Yes?
Tucker: Get off my back.

Share this quote on facebook Sandy: Hey, hotshot! Running into more trees lately?
Stripes: Oh, great! More jokes!

Share this quote on facebook Sandy: Because I don't care that you're not a racehorse. You love to run, and that's all that matters.
Stripes: Maybe to you. But it's not your problem, Sandy.
Sandy: You know, if you wanna see the real problem, try looking down at it!
Stripes: Fine. [looks at his reflection in a lake]

Share this quote on facebook Franny: Take it easy on him.

Share this quote on facebook Tucker: Hey, kid, what's your problem?
Stripes: I'm not a racehorse.
Tucker: What does that mean?
Stripes: I don't belong in the gate.
Tucker: No, no, you're wrong. And I'll tell you why. Racing is for anyone--Anyone with a fire burning in their heart.
Stripes: What do you know, you little nobody? You never raced.
Tucker: They're all the same.

Share this quote on facebook Stripes: [to Goose, as Franny munches on some hay] Tucker doesn't understand. He didn't even know that I was a zebra. He doesn't get it. What's he ever done?
Goose: Now, let me tell you somethin', kid. I've made a few claims about ponies. This guy's all hair, and no brains.
Franny: [to Stripes] That's just about enough out of you, young colt. [to Goose] And, Goose, BANG!
Goose: Hit the hay!
Franny: [to Stripes] Now, you come on right over here. People think they know everything. You tell somebody something, they get an attitude.
Goose: Hey, I didn't know that goat was packed.

Share this quote on facebook Franny: And, to be honest about it, nobody ever, ever thanked him.

Share this quote on facebook Sir Trenton: They cannot be serious. This will not stand. I will not allow that beast to run in my competition.
Trenton's Pride: Please, Father, don’t interfere. I can win it fair and square.
Sir Trenton: [scoffs] That’s not a risk I’m willing to take!

Share this quote on facebook Buzz: [to Scuzz] I've got a million eyes, and you burned every one of them!

Share this quote on facebook (Stripes goes to the creek to make amends with Sandy, until Franny walks by, as Goose watches them)
Goose: Hello? Where you think you're going? You have a big day tomorrow. You can't go.
Stripes: I need to make things right with Sandy.
Franny: Hmm. All right. I understand. But listen, a little advice from an old goat. Relationships are like racing. When you do it for love, you’ve already won. Go on, go on.

Share this quote on facebook Sir Trenton: Well, well, well. What have we here? Ha, ha! Beauty and the Beast.
Stripes: Oh, no. Sir Trenton.
Sir Trenton: I'm afraid there's been a change of plans, zebra. You're about to get scratched from tomorrow's race card.
Sandy: Oh, no. There's many of them.
Stripes: It's okay. Let's stay calm.
Sir Trenton: Pretty picture, huh, boys?
Sandy: Don't do this, Sir Trenton, please!
Sir Trenton: Take her away.
Horse: All right, boss.
Trenton's Pride: Let's go.
Stripes: Sandy!
Sandy: Stripes! I'm not going anywhere without you!
Stripes: It's all right, Sandy. Just go.
Trenton's Pride: Come on. We're outta here.
Ruffshodd: Better hide your eyes right over here, honey. Trust me, you don't wanna see this.
Stripes: You better not hurt her!
Sir Trenton: Oh, don't fret about her. As long as you don't race tomorrow, I wouldn't dream of harming her. You, on the other hand, needed to be taught a lesson. Show him!
Racehorses: [to Stripes] You're goin' down, zebra! Lion food!

Share this quote on facebook Tucker: Oh, that's just great. The race is in four hours.
Franny: Well, uh, he went out last night, he said he was gonna go find Sandy, and he...
Tucker: And, well, Miss Softy, you just let him go, didn't you? [to Goose] Goose, time to earn your keep.
Goose: I'm on it.

Share this quote on facebook Sir Trenton: Listen, boy. I won this race, my daddy won it, his daddy won it, all the way back to General Trenton, who won the first Kentucky open 100 years ago. You get my point?
Trenton's Pride: I'll do my best, dad.
Sir Trenton: Yeah, well, good.
Sandy: You won't get away with this, Sir Trenton.
Sir Trenton: Hush, now, little girl. You're interfering with my Mozart. I wonder if he was a thoroughbred.

Share this quote on facebook Franny: There's Sandy.
Tucker: Yeah, and there's Sir Trenton, all fifteen hundred pounds of him. We'll never get her out of there.
Franny: Oh, yes we will. We just need a diversion.
Goose: I got your diversion right here. [flies off] Out of my way.
Franny: Goose, stick with the plan!

Share this quote on facebook Scuzz: Yeah, you know, I saw you and I was about to say to my brother Buzz: "I never seen a black horse with white stripes."
Buzz: You dimwit! He is obviously a white horse with black stripes. Now, anybody could see that.

Share this quote on facebook Scuzz: Filly? I didn't know she was from Philly. You know, I really like those Philly Cheese Steaks. Actually, I like any kind of cheese. Actually, I like any kind of food from anywhere. Especially candy and poop. What were we talking about again?
Buzz: I hate my life.

Share this quote on facebook (Channing walks to Old Blue, but Goose destroys the tire)
Channing: Oh, that's just great.
Nolan: Oh, come on. [drops motorcycle]
Channing: [about the flat tire on the truck] How long will it take to put on the spare?
Nolan: Honey, that, that is the spare. (Channing sighs, Nolan notices that the rim is missing) What the--?
