6 quotes Tiger Tiger Cat got your tongue?
Tiger [After escaping a vicious dog by hopping on a caboose]
Haha! I made it! Oh, what a stupid dog! Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! Your mother was never housebroken! Toodle-oo!
Tiger [Lost in desert]
I'm lost and all alone, in a million acre catbox. Phoo!
Tiger [Lost in desert]
Dancing buffalo-bones? Nah. [The skeleton pounces, and a tribe of shrews emerge from it and seize him.]
Tiger [To himself, about the shrews:]
They think I'm their tiger-god! How lucky can you get? I mean, how did they know I was a vegetarian? It's funny how your appetite perks up when you find out, that you're gonna eat dinner, instead of be dinner. Innkeeper, more wine!
Scenes with Tiger
6 scenes Tiger [trying to stop Miss Kitty from leaving]
Uh, can we have an espresso and talk this over, please? Please?
Listen, Tiger. You're an alley cat, born and bred!
Tiger How true.
I got a ticket to sunshine, and I'm going west. I heard there's a town that, that promises a new frontier, and a brand new breed of cat!
Tiger Is there anything wrong with my breed?
City cats got too much purr in their fur, not enough growl in their howl! Look at you. You catnap, cat around, and heck, I don't mean to be mean, but you're even a little bit of a fraidy-cat.
Tiger Who told you that? Hey, I'm no fraidy-cat. I'll show you. I'll show them. I'm no "fraidy-cat".
Tiger, I don't want a tomcat, tough cat, or even a tough tabby, I just want...How do I say this? I just want a cat...who's more like a dog. [sees her stagecoach] That's my ride out west. Now show me you're tough, and don't make a big fuss when I leave, 'kay?
Tiger You don't mean...this is goodbye?
Hey, there are no goodbyes between you and me, Tiger. After all, we'll always have the Bronx. Here's looking at you, kid. [she leaps onto the stagecoach]
Tiger The Bronx, that's right, the Bronx. Right. I won't make a fuss. I can handle it. I can-- I can, uh... I can, uh-- [Suddenly he breaks down in tears.]
[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!
Tiger [Fievel screams and hangs on to Tiger's uvula. Tiger chokes and gulps]
I think a little endive went down the wrong tube.
Oh, I hope he doesn't throw up. [gas starts welling up in Tiger's throat] GET ME OUTTA HERE!
Tiger [surprised]
Who said that?!
Tiger [points to an apple he's holding, thinking that's what's talking]
"Me", he says.
Say "ah"!
Tiger [opens his mouth with Fievel on his tongue]
Ah!
[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.
Tiger 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.
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 [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.
Tiger Bark. [His barking echoes through the mine] Woof, woof! [Tiger listen to his barking echoes] Bow-wow-wow, woof, woof! [Laughs; but stops] Woof, woof, woof! RUFF!
[Tiger barks like a dog while singing along to the mine as Fievel and Wylie smile with delight that Tiger has finally gotten it and shake hands.]
It's too tough, kid. Get out while you still can.
Tiger Okay! Toodle-oo!
[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]
Tiger [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!
Tiger Okay, Wylie!
Let 'em rip, kid!
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]
