Quotes 

• Dr. Carlock : And trust me, we know how different she is.

  Eustacia : Different, not less.

  Dr. Carlock : Different, but not less.

• Temple Grandin : Of course they're gonna get slaughtered. You think we'd have cattle if people didn't eat 'em everyday? They'd just be funny-lookin' animals in zoos. But we raise them for us. That means we owe them some respect. Nature is cruel, but we don't have to be. I would'nt want to have my guts ripped out by a lion, I'd much rather die in a slaughterhouse if it was done right.

  Dr. Carlock : It seems to me that you should be the one to design... the slaughterhouse...

  Temple Grandin : [interrupting]  We can easily do a way where they don't feel pain and they don't get scared.

  Dr. Carlock : Did you hear what I said, Temple? I think you're the one who should design it.

• Eustacia : I have done everything that I can for Temple, and if it isn't good enough, then it just isn't good enough. But you cannot even begin to imagine the chaos, the upheavals, the tantrums and the pain.

  [emphasis] 

  Eustacia : Her pain.

  Dr. Carlock : You seem to be acting as if you have done something wrong, when it's obvious you've done everything right. I think she's terrific.
