I'm still not connecting with Charlie

me: That'll do pig. That'll do.

Charlie: (confused look)

me: I'm not calling you a pig. It's a literary reference.

Charlie: ...what book is that from?

me (caught in filter):
You shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition.

me: It's from the movie Babe. At the end of the movie...

Charlie: Was Babe ever a book?

me: No, but someone had to write the screenplay.

Charlie: I figured you'd say something like that.
