A scene from Tom and Jerry: The Movie 1992
Jerry

[Tom, Jerry, and Robyn are sitting near a fire under a bridge.]

So your name's Robyn and you ran away from home.

Robyn

How did you know?

Jerry

Your name's on your locket. [Points at Robyn's locket]

Robyn

Oh, yes. It's Robyn Starling. I'm afraid I don't have a home anymore. I– I'm an orphan. My mother died when I was a baby.

Jerry

What about your father? What happened to him?

Robyn

My father's on an expedition climbing a mountain, when the snow gave way in an– av– ava–

Tom

Avalanche?

Robyn

[Starts to cry]

Uh-huh, and he was the most wonderful father in the world. [Opens her locket and shows Tom and Jerry pictures of herself and her father] We had our own secret place just for the two of us, and–

Jerry

And that's where you were going?

Robyn

Uh-huh, and to get away from my Aunt Figg. She's not really my aunt, just my guardian. But she's taken over the house. She moved me into the attic and gave my room to her dog Ferdinand.

Tom

Ferdinand?

Robyn

Aunt Figg was always calling me orphan. She even stole my locket and threw it out the window, but I climbed down and found it, and– and–

Jerry

Kept on running.

Robyn

As fast as I could, and I'm never going back.

Tom

Oh, smart, real smart, kid. You got a roof over your head, three sure meals a day, a warm bed. Who'd wanna leave that?

Jerry

I hate to admit it, Robyn, but Tom's right. You never know what you're missing till you don't have it.

Robyn

You don't know Aunt Figg. She seems sweet, but underneath, she's mean, real mean.

Jerry

Aw, come on. I'll bet she's frantic looking for you.

Tom

Oh, sure. She's crying her eyes out for you right this minute.
