The Zoot Cat 1944 quotes

Tom

Ah, I love you. When I'm with you, I am what you call, uh, a hep cat. I am hip to the jive. I'm in the groove, darling.

Now you're REALLY sendin' me, Jackson.

Tom

Ah, you set my soul on fire. It is not just a little, uh, spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. Ah, I can feel it now. It is burning... burning... burning... hey. [to the audience] Something is burning around here!
[Tom then realizes what is burning and leaps about screaming. He sees his burned foot]

Boy, are you corny! You act like a square at the fair, a goon from Saskatoon. You come on like a broken arm. You're a sad apple, a long hair, a cornhusker. In other words, you don't send me. So bail out, brother. Get lost. And here's your rat, cat."
