- Mister Ed: It's a strike all right, Wilbur. I'm pulling out every horse from under you.
- Wilbur Post: Just because I'm wearing a horse outfit to a costume party?
- Mister Ed: You make fun of horses, and all you'll be riding is a pogo stick.
- Wilbur Post: Ed, if you don't call off this ridiculous strike, I'll trade you in for a rocking chair!
- Mister Ed: [scoffs] You're going to look real silly trying to ride that on a bridle path.
- Wilbur Post: You insist on continuing this strike?
- Mister Ed: You insist on wearing that horse outfit?
- Wilbur Post: Yes!
- [after a long pause]
- Mister Ed: I am willing to submit this to the labor relations board.
- Wilbur Post: Well, I am not. And there's only one way to handle a disobedient horse like you. I'm sending you to an animal training school!
- Mister Ed: Fine! Do with me what you want, Wilbur. Just remember this. If I fall, there will be another horse to pick up the torch and carry on the fight for the preservation of horsely dignity. I thank you.
