Bernard
How 'bout trying the 3 blocks down and 4 blocks over?
What did you do to make him so mad?
Bernard
Nothing. He's just a grumpy old lion.
Well, after all, waking him up in the middle of the night. Wouldn't you be grumpy, too?
Bernard
I didn't wake him up in the middle of the night. I just walked into a thing--
[fade to black]
Orville
Say, bud, read the checklist to me.
Bernard
Uh, oh, yeah. Goggles down.
Orville
Check.
Bernard
Wing flaps down.
Orville
Check.
Bernard
Tail feathers.
Orville
Double check.
Bernard
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". [looks apprehensive]
Orville
And here we go!
Bernard
Sir, could you tell us what happened to a little girl named Penny?
Rufus
I sure can. But you ain't gonna find her 'round here. See, poor little thing ran away.
Bernard
Are you all right, dear?
She tried to kill us. That terrible woman! Oh, if I was only a 10-foot mouse, I'd show her.
Bernard
Miss Bianca, make sure it's fastened good and tight.
I can't. It'll wrinkle my dress.
Bernard
Flight leaves 6:45. [looks at the clock, which indicates that it's 7:00] Oh, no! We missed the flight! Miss Bianca, if you hadn't...
You worry too much. You know that flights are always late.
Orville
Albatross flight 13 to tower! Albatross 13!
Now, what did I tell you? We are lucky, Mr. Bernard!
Bernard
Luck? Flight 13? Maybe we'd better take the train.
Orville
Wake up!
Orville
Dad-drat it! Somebody answer down there! Get off the dime! Hello! Hello! Is anybody down there?!
Bernard
Uh, say-- Uh, hello.
Orville
Where in tuck have you been, huh, ya lazy knucklehead?
Bernard
Well, we just got here, sir. You see, my co-agent insisted on packing her, uh...
Orville
Look, bud. Am I clear to land? Traffic up here's thicker than fleas on a hound dog!
Orville
WOW! WOW! [angrily] Dad-blast, you dirty road-hog! Road hog! Crazy! See, look! What is--! You stupid lunk-headed...
What did he say, Mr. Bernard?
Bernard
I wouldn't dare repeat it.
Well, then give him the permission to land.
Bernard
Uh, Captain? You, uh, you have our permission to land.
Orville
Well, it's about time, bud!
Rufus
She seemed happy enough, but the next thing I heard, Penny was gone.
Bernard
Well, aren't the police still looking for her?
Rufus
No. They gave up weeks ago.
This is terrible. That poor little girl.
Bernard
I just can't believe that Penny would run away. Mr. Rufus, please think. There must be something else.
Rufus
Well, come to think of it, there was. [pauses] No. No. It's nothing. Penny wouldn't get in with her.
Bernard
Get in what? With who?
Rufus
A weird lady tried to give Penny a ride, but she wouldn't have anything to do with trashy people like them.
Trashy people? Who?
Rufus
She and her partner run a sleazy pawn shop down the street.
Bernard
Miss Bianca, we must go down there and investigate.
Rufus
Suit yourself. But you'd be wasting your time goin' down there.
Bernard
She could be in real trouble. We gotta find her and help her.
Rufus
Yeah. But, two little mice. What can you do?
Penny
Please bless Rufus and Teddy, and all the kids at the orphanage: Jennifer, Bobby, Mary, Julie. And please let someone find my bottle. There's a message in it. Because running away isn't working. Amen. [to her stuffed bear] Don't worry, Teddy. We'll... We'll be... [tearfully] ...all right.
Penny? Penny?
Penny
Yes?
Penny. Penny, dear, now don't cry. We are here to help you.
Penny
Wait. Hi! Where'd you come from?
Bernard
We found the bottle with your message, and we've come to rescue you.
Penny
Did you hear that, Teddy?! Our bottle worked! [to the two mice] Didn't you bring somebody big with you? Like the police?
Bernard
Uh, no. There's just the 2 of us.
But if the 3 of us work together, and we have a little faith...
Penny
That's what Rufus said! "Faith makes things turn out right".
Madame Medusa
What's taking so long?!
Penny
It's stuck tight!
Madame Medusa
Stuck tight? You get that diamond, or you'll never see daylight again!
Bernard
No, no, back, back, Penny!
Oh, Penny, you’ll fall!
Penny
Aah!
Madame Medusa
Who could be ringing at this time of night? [answers; kindly] (Hello?) Madame Medusa's Pawn Shop Boutique.
Mr. Snoops
Hello, Boss!
Madame Medusa
Snoops! Don't tell me, Snoops. Let me guess! You've found it! [laughs like crazy] You've found the diamond! [Mr. Snoops speaks indistinctly through the phone; in annoyance] Give you time? You bungler! You have been down there for three months! [Mr. Snoops indistinctly continues; firmly] Bottles? What bottles? [seethes] You caught Penny sending messages in bottles?! [enraged] You blundering fool! Can't you control a little girl?! SHUT UP! I am taking the next flight down to Devil's Bayou! [hangs up in outrage, picks up her suitcase and opens it, and storms off to get her stuff, leaving Bernard to fall over, and causing objects to collapse on top of Bianca]
This is terrible. We've got to go with her.
Bernard
Yeah, come on. In the suitcase. [climbs into the suitcase]
Medusa
Bumbling boob. He fouls up everything. Leave him for a few weeks and… [scoffs and puts on her purple coat while Bianca tries to get in with Bernard, but ends up falling out; tries to close her suitcase] Oh, why won't this stupid thing close?! [finally closes her trunk, then leaves Bianca out]
