A scene from Cats Don't Dance 1997
Security Guard
[to the animals]

All right, all of you! Listen up! I only need you, water buffalo, for the Tarzan jungle stampede! The rest of you, go home!

T.W. Turtle

Well, today's shot! Might as well go home and clean!

Danny Cat
[He retreats back into his shell and turns on a vacuum, Sawyer types in the office.]

Here's our chance, Pudge. Come on! Hey, everybody!

T.W. Turtle

Huh?

Cranston Goat

Oh, look who's back! I wish he'd get himself stuffed.

Frances Albacore

I know a divine taxidermist darling. Did my first husband.

Danny Cat
[song to Animal Jam plays]

Come on, everybody, gather 'round! Don't let this old town getcha down. Look at you there with the long, long face.

Horse
[to another horse]

Hey, he must be talking to you.

Danny Cat

You take this and you take that! Come over here, T.W., put on this hat! If we all work together, we can make our dreams come true! Let's show the world what we can do. Pudge?

Peabo Pudgemeyer

Yeah! [plays drums]

Animal

Boogie with me!

Danny Cat
[singing]

I got rhythm / In my feet / I got rhythm in my heart and soul / I got rhythm / Hot and sweet / Sometimes rhythm makes me loose control / Hat-cha-cha-chow! / I want everyone / To have all the fun / That I have / I got rhythm / So do you / Let's turn it on and show 'em what we can do!

Tillie Hippo

Bye!

Darla Dimple
[The animals dancing while Tillie snaps Danny. Meanwhile, Max brushes Darla on his face]

Perfect! How could you possibly improve a face like this? What is that hideous racket?

Cranston Goat
[The animals dancing while then the animals singing and dancing]

Look at them. I'm ashamed to be an animal.

Frances Albacore

Oh, shut up, you old nanny, and show old Franny what you got.

Cranston Goat
[Cranston and Frances dancing]

Whoo-pee!

Sawyer Cat
[Danny climbs the ladder and the light dust. Sawyer types the paper on the desk]

Huh? [music plays and she sees the animals; screams]

Cranston Goat

Come on, Sawyer. Grab a partner and do-si-do.

Danny Cat

Hey, Sawyer, dance with me? I hear you're a natural.

Sawyer Cat

Who told you that?

Sawyer Cat
[Woolie trumpets]

Listen, Danny, it's a waste of time! You'll never get to dance in the movies.

Danny Cat

Movies? Did I say movies? Not really, we're just having fun.

Sawyer Cat

Yeah, sure, forget it.

Darla Dimple

Look at those fools. Laughable isn't it Max? Max? [Max dancing and gasps] MAX! [growls]

Sawyer Cat

Hmm. [dancing]

Danny Cat

Not bad, a little rusty, but hey, who's perfect?

Sawyer Cat

Rusty? [they all dancing] I'll give you rusty!
