A scene from Cats Don't Dance 1997
Danny

Sawyer?

Sawyer

We're all behind you, Danny. 100%. Don't let them go, Tillie!

Tillie

[Tillie is holding T.W., Cranston, and Frances in her arms]

I got them!

Cranston

Let go! Have you lost your mind?

Frances

Release me you mad hippo!

Danny

Wait.

Tillie

One big happy family!

Danny

Just a minute. Please.

T.W.

[Looking at his fortunes]

You will meet with disaster!

Danny

Would you just listen to me?

Cranston

I'll chew your ears off!

Danny

Cranston!

T.W.

The end is near! The fat lady sung!

Danny

Look, if you're willing to accept what they can think of you, then you can go! [everyone gasps] I almost did.

Cranston

Well, you should have! Life here for animals is the pits, always playing the scapegoat!

Woolie

Quickly forgotten!

Frances

Working for scale! [...See what the movie did there?]

Danny

Then why are you still here?

Crantson

Why?! [everyone pauses]

Danny

Because you can't forget the feeling, can you? The feeling you have when... [Refers to Cranson and Frances] when you two dance together. [Camera switches to Woolie] When you play. [Danny motions to Sawyer] When you sing. They cursed you, humiliated you, and even slam the door in your face. But they still haven't made you forget. Have they?

T.W.

[searches through his fortune cookie papers]

They can smash your cookie, but... but you'll always have your fortune. [everyone grins] Huh.

Danny

Come on. Let's go show 'em what we can do.

Tillie

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
