But he had a mouth like a "hippolotamus"!
The Aristocats quotes
Page 1 of 2"Swinger"? What is a "swinger"?
Marie
Ladies do NOT start fights, but they can finish them!
O’Malley
(O’Malley opens the trunk where Edgar locked Duchess and the kittens)
Everybody out of here fast!
Edgar
(Before O’Malley, Duchess, and the kittens can jump out, Edgar slams them back in)
You’re going to Timbuktu if it’s the last thing I do!
(Billy Boss unties a knot holding a heavy bale of hay which hits Edgar on the head. The alley cats then drop a horse collar on Edgar to trap his arms and dump a bucket of water on his head. Peppo hooks a rope to the collar and signals to Frou-Frou who pulls the rope with her mouth, pulling Edgar off the trunk and freeing O’Malley, Duchess, and the kittens from the trunk. Edgar then braces himself as Frou-Frou kicks him in the rear and knocks him into the trunk, sliding it outside)
Shun Gon
[During "Ev'rybody Wants to be a Cat" Berlioz and Shun Gon play the piano. The latter plays an East Asian riff using two pairs of chopsticks]
Shanghai Hong Kong egg foo young! [chortles] Fortune Cookie always wrong! [guffaws again and looks at Berlioz] Oh, that's a hot one!
Abigail
[Just at this time, two white geese come walking over the top of the hill. Named Amelia and Abigail, they are sisters on holiday from England]
What beautiful countryside.
Amelia
Yes. So much like our own darling England. [She glances toward the river] I say, look over there. [Her sister's eyes widen. Thomas O'Malley, trying to save himself, is clutching a willow branch that is overhanging the river] Fancy that...a cat learning to swim. He's going about it all the wrong road.
Abigail
We must correct him. [She always exists that everything be done in the correct manner]
Amelia
[The two geese waddle down the bank and slip into the river]
Sir...sir! You are most fortunate we happened along. We're here to help you. You will never learn to swim properly with that willow branch in your mouth. [She bites into Thomas O'Malley's lifeline] Snip, snip. Here we go!
Thomas O'Malley: Don't do that! Blub! [He sinks]
Abigail
Oh, he takes to water like a fish, doesn't he? A very enthusiastic…
Amelia
[Thomas O'Malley tries to catch them by the tail-feathers. They laugh]
No, thank you! This is no time for fun and games!
Abigail
[Bubbles begin to form on the surface of the water. The geese look worried]
Gracious, Amelia....you don't suppose....?
Amelia
Oh yes! Yes I do. Bottoms up!
Amelia and Abigail
[They dive, and emerge without Thomas O'Malley]
Deeper!
[They dive to the bottom of the riverbed]
Thomas O'Malley: Well, there it is! My old pent-house pad! It's not exactly the Ritz, but it's peaceful an' quiet.
[Trumpet music fills the air] Thomas O'Malley: [laughing] Ah! Oh, no! Sounds like Scat Cat and his gang have dropped by.
Ah! Friends of yours?
Thomas O'Malley: Yeah, they're old buddies, and… well, they're real swingers.
Shwingers? [sic]. What is a shwinger?
Thomas O'Malley: Well, not exactly your type, Duchess; maybe we'd better go somewhere else.
O no no no! I'd like to see your "pad" and meet your "Scat Cat".
Thomas O'Malley: Well, okay. [They head over to the alley cats' apartment.] Hey, Scat Cat! Blow some of that sweet stuff my way.
Scat Cat
[Scat Cat plays a tune on his trumpet before he and the other alley cats welcome O'Malley back home.] [laughs]
Well, lookie here. Big man O'Malley's back in his alley. Swing on down here, daddy!
[O'Malley enters the building and passes by Shun Gon by sliding through his piano.] Thomas O'Malley: Lay some skin on me, Scat Cat! [They exchange hi-fives.] Yeah!
Why, Mr. O'malley, you are amazing.
True. true.
Milkman
[After noticing the cats in his rearview mirror, much to his shock]
SAPRISTI! [cats screech after the milkman stops too fast] SACREBLEU! [as the cats run out of the milkman's truck] THIEVES! ROBBERS! MANGY TRAMPS! TAKE THAT! AND THAT!
Edgar
[sings as he puts sleeping pills in the cat's cream]
Rock-a-bye kitties. Bye-bye you go. [looks at the instructions on the bottle, then casually throws in more pills]
La la la la, and I'm in the dough!
Oh, Edgar, you sly old fox!
[hums as he finishes the cream]
I still say it was a li'l old cricket bug.
I'm the leader! I'll decide what it was! [pause] It was a li'l old cricket bug.
D-D-D-D-Did y' see him?
No, no, he sneaked up behind me and tailgated me.
Well he didn't hurt me; he hit me on the head!
It's a one-wheeled....
A one-wheeled what?
You're not gonna believe this, but it's a one-wheeled haystack! And there it goes!
Now you go for the tires, and I'll go right for the seat of the problem.
Now, how come you always get the tender part? [He stumbles on his own ear]
Because I outrank you, that's why. Now stop beating your gums and sound the attack!
Lafeyette
Ha ha, makin' a mess of it huh?
YOU can be REPLACED, you know.
One magic carpet coming up.
That's a magic carpet?
Milkman
[O'Malley jumps on the hood of the milk truck and screeches]
SACREBLEU!
[Screeches as the milkman stops his truck]
Milkman
SAPRISTI! Stupid cat! Brainless lunatic! [starts his truck]
Ya know something? I like Uncle Waldo.
Especially when he's marinated.
