Most scenes together: Jake the Cat & Fievel Mousekewitz (11), Papa Mousekewitz & Mama (9), Warren T. Rat & Digit (8)
Oh, my little boy, back from the dead. America, what a place.
My Fievel. I thought I would never see you again.
Never say never, Papa.
Oh, I nearly forgot. Here, Fievel, your hat.
[the hat drops as before; Fievel adjusts the hat with his ears] :
The hat, it fits!
My son! Now, you are a mouse.
So what's your story?
I'm looking for my family.
Hey, fellas! He's looking for his family.
He's looking for his family!
I stopped looking a long time ago.
At least you know who they are.
Besides, why are you looking for them? They should be looking...
...for you!
They don't care. Forget 'em.
You're right! They don't care, and if they did, they would have found me! Well, if they don't care, I don't care! I hope I never see them again!
Yeah! You're Nothing! You're Junk! You're Stupid!
Here. Make yourself a bed.
[They toss hay over Fievel] :
Ha-ha-ha! Pig boy.
Would you please put out that filthy thing? I'm suffocating down here!
You don't like it? Hey, you know you're not the only cockoroach in New York City. There are millions of roaches who give their lives to work for Warren T. Rat.
Good! Fire me! I'm fed up with that filthy smoke in this pocket! I've seen kitchen shelves cleaner than this place! Look at my suit!
I'm looking for my family.
You've come to the right fella, kid. I know exactly where they are. Follow me.
But Henri said I would find them here.
Have it your way, kid. But remember what Shakespeare said, and I quote: "Opportunity knocks but... uh, but...?
Psst! Once.
"... but-but once. Taken at the tide, t'will lead to fortune. If denied, t'will never return."
Do you really know where my family is?
Heh heh, trust me, kid. Trust me.
Look, Papa! Smoke! Is the boat on fire?
No! Keep walking!
A wally? What's a wally?
Oh, a rally!
I know, my little immigrant. You want to find your family. And you will.
But how? They're so far away, and it's so big. I'll never find them anyway.
Excuse moi, pardon, but did you say never? So young, and you've already lost hope! This is America, the place to find hope. If you give up now, you will never find your family. So never say never.
Now, are you going to find your family?
Yes!
Chantal! Take this little one to Immigration. You will find your family there. Everyone goes through Immigration. I would take you there myself, but then I would never finish my statue.
Henri, you said never.
Oh, so I did!
Where is your mama, your papa, huh?
I don't know. They were on a boat to America.
Then you are in luck, my little immigrant. This is America.
America. But I thought it was bigger.
It is bigger. All of that is also America.
Fievel! Tanya! Stop that twirling, twirling! I mean it!
But Mama, it's Hannukah.
For you, every night is Hannukah.
We've got to do something about them cats.
Besides paying Warren T. Rat for no protection.
Ah, so, Mr Curious, you've discovered the herring.
Herring? I thought they were fish.
But Fievel, herring are fish.
Really, Papa?
Oh, yes. In the ocean, there are many kinds of fish, and herring is one of them.
All kinds?
Yes. Tiny fishes, not so tiny fishes, fishes as big as this boat.
Wow! Let's go up and see the fish.
For Tanya, a new babushka. Happy Hannukah.
Oh, Papa, thank you.
You have only one parent?
Thank you, Mama.
In America, there are mouse holes in every wall.
Who says?
Everyone!
In America, there are bread crumbs on every floor.
You're talking nonsense!
In America, you can say anything you want, but most important - and this I know for a fact - in America, there are no cats.
I like butterflies with big, golden wings, and blue and green tips.
Me too!
I like Swiss cheese ice cream.
Me too! Me too!
You too-too? Wait a minute. What's your favorite book?
Hmm, the Brothers Karamousov.
