8 scenes Fievel [In Fievel's daydream]
Have no fear, Filly the kid is here!
It's too tough, kid. Get out while you still can.
Fievel If yer bitin' the dust, I'm goin' down with ya!
You saved my life. I'll never forget this, kid. Here, son, I want youto have one of these. Look out behind you.
Fievel Maybe Tanya should sing again.
Very funny. You'll see. Someday I'll be a big star! People will come from miles around.
Fievel Yeah, to eat! [Laughs]
Fievel [Fievel, after falling into a bowl of water, sucks it up. Tiger also drinks the water, unaware that he has also eaten Fievel]
Oh, no! I'm in a mouth!
[Fievel screams and hangs on to Tiger's uvula. Tiger chokes and gulps]
I think a little endive went down the wrong tube.
Fievel Oh, I hope he doesn't throw up. [gas starts welling up in Tiger's throat] GET ME OUTTA HERE!
Fievel [from inside Tiger's mouth]
Me!
Fievel Say "ah"!
[unimpressed by the opera singing mouse]
Next. [pulls lever and opens a trap door on stage which the opera singing mouse falls into] Terrible! Terrible! Absolutely, positively appalling. I must have a voice to match the opulence of this salOON!
Lady at saloon
[Fievel has scrambled up behind Cat R. Waul with a fork and stabbed him in the butt, making him jump out of his clothes through the ceiling to an upper level saloon where a lady grabs him]
Oh, pussy, pussy, pussy, pussy! Pussy, pussy! Oh, pussy!
[He wriggles out, falls down the hole back into his clothes on the stage]
Humans! Yeeuk! So shiny and... pleh! [to Chula] Right! I want the subversive who tried to asassinate me found.
I just love finding subversives! [Chula spits a spiderweb on Cat R. Waul's face, the same time Fievel gets his shirt caught on the needle of a record player] Hey, boss, what's a subversive?
[pulls the spiderweb from his face]
Someone who doesn't have very long to live. [Fievel tries to run and plays some music, which Cat R. Waul notices] Well, if it isn't my diminutive friend from the train.
Fievel Cat R. Waul, I heard what you said about the Mouseburgers, and I'm gonna tell everyone. I'm gonna get Wylie Burp, 'cause he's the law.
The Wylie Burp? [he and the saloon erupt in laughter] That quaint historical figure? [he picks Fievel up on a fork] Simply put, mouseling: I am the law here, and you're a mere hors d'oeuvre.
[Wylie Burp, Fievel and Tiger are standing on a tall mesa]
Now, let me see you walk. [Tiger takes three steps across the mesa and three steps back to Wylie, where squeaking is heard at each step] You-You're wigglin' like a French poodle. Now get down on all fours and get a snoot full of Mother Earth.
Oh, that goes against my brain. [Wylie kicks Tiger onto the ground]
Now roll, you varmint. Roll. [Tiger starts to roll around the mesa] Give yourself a dirt bath. Now you're getting it.
Fievel Come on, Tiger! We're rooting for you!
Get up. [Tiger does so] Suck in your ponch, boy! [Tiger puffs up his chest] Okay. Now, sander on out there, one leg in front of the other, slow and easy.
[Tiger starts to walk; every time he steps, flatulence can be heard; Tiger then falls off the mesa and then flies around like a deflating balloon until he falls to the ground]
I hurt myself.
It's too tough, kid. Get out while you still can.
Okay! Toodle-oo!
Fievel [Fievel grabs him by the tail]
Hey, Tiger, give them the laaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy eye!
[Tiger smiles with Fievel's idea and he, Wylie Burp, and Fievel do the Lazy Eye sending the cats running and screaming]
[After Tiger tosses all the cats onto the mousetrap he confronts Chula holding Miss Kitty hostage]
If you harm one patch of fur on her again, and I'll tear you apart... [Chula shoots a web at Tiger, but Tiger grabs it.] ...one leg at a time! [he twirls Chula's web as a lasso with him trapped in it, and he throws Chula onto Cat R. Waul's head and Miss Kitty falls from the building, but Tiger catches her just in time before she hits the ground.]
Ooh!
Okay, Wylie!
Let 'em rip, kid!
Fievel Yes, Sir, Mr. Burp, Sir! [adjusts the giant gun, jumps off, and it fires, cutting the ribbon which flings Cat R. Waul and his men into the sky. Fievel, Wylie Burp, Miss Kitty, Tiger, Red, Micheal, the Mousekewitzes, and the other mice watch as they land in a mail bag near the train tracks.]
And now-- [before he can finish his sentence, a train grabs the mail bag, knocking over the water tower in the process.] REVENGE!
Woman
Oh, Pussypoos!
Oh, no!
Woman
Come to Mommy, darling! [She dresses him up in baby clothes and hugs him tightly.] Mommy's going to take care of you forever, and ever and ever! [Laughs]
[last lines]
Here, son. I-I want you to have one of these. [gives Fievel his Sheriff badge]
Fievel Mousekewitz I can't. I'm not a hero like you. Well, [chuckles] not really.
Well, maybe not. Maybe a real hero's the last one to hear about it. But you, you pulled me out of a gutter, and for that, I owe you some thanks. Just-Just remember, Fievel: One man's sunset is another man's dawn. I don't know what's out there beyond those hills, but if you ride yonder, head up, eyes steady, heart open, I think one day you'll find that you're the hero you've been lookin' for. [NOTE: These were last lines from James Stewart in his acting occupation, as he retired from acting after finishing this film, prior to his death in 1997. Wylie does not return in "Fievel's American Tails" because of Stewart's retirement.]
