TV show quotes
I’ve been working with the scrub brush
All the really long day
I’ve been cleaning up the water
Who makes me feel okay?
Just be beating all the fun, fun, fun
If you really do get by
So everybody, get together
And keep things clean and bright
All right!
Well, maybe chores can’t always be fun, but I’m gonna do my shift from now on. You know, guys, I think there’s something I should tell you.
No time for that now, Jerry. Let’s get you to your new home.
Here it is!
Your nifty new home!
With some folks who really want you.
But that’s my old house.
Jerry, you’re late. Oh, we were so worried.
Mom, dad! It’s great to be home! Oh! And this is Blue. He’s from the puppy pound. Can I keep him?
Well, I don’t wanna wind up being the one who takes care of him.
Don’t worry, dad. I promise I’ll do all my chores from now on, and that includes taking care of Blue.
Okay then, Blue. Welcome to the family.
Well, gang, our chores are done, and you know what that means?
Time to have fun!
A little further. Yes, yes, a little further. Y… Ah, ah, ah. Hold it right there.
What are those stinky bricks for, Mommy Dearest?
(looking at the security pound on the paper) To build my new maximum security pound. This wall will stop Cooler and his motely mutt cold, like being hit with a ton of bricks.
Oh! Just kill me already, why don’tcha!
(meows)
Oh, brother! Get a load of what the bad guys are up to this time.
(singing) I’ve been putting up the brick wall
This time, I will win
(singing) She’s cementing up the brick wall
To keep the yucky doggies in
Can’t you hear our cheers and shouting
(singing) Locking up the mutts we had
(singing) Cooler and screams are shouting
(singing) Cos they finally met them up
(screaming)
(screaming and then he stops running) You know what? I’m scared. (screaming and running again)
Woo! A little game of Catgut and mouse, and it looks like Catgut hates meeces to pieces.
Eww! A mouse! Icky-icky-icky-poo yuck!
Get him off me, Catgut! Get him off!
Sakes alive! That’s no mouse! That’s a little bitty muffy doggy!
Bra-Bra-Bra-Bra-Bra-Brat-t-t-ti-ti-ti-tina! Whoa!
We have to save that cute little old pup!
(Angry with her) Just for this, Brattina: You’ll get no stewed prunes for a week!
Settle down, honey lamb. Nose Marie won’t hurt you. You’re safe with me.
Aw.
(sighs) That really warms to cockles of my heart. Whatever those are. (laughs)
Cooler, maybe the teensy puppy could use my Dolly’s house for a home.
Absotutely, guys. Hey, not a bad name for him either, Teensy.
Now, Teensy darling, what you need is some little old nourishment.
(gasps) Oh, sweet corn bone! This will never do. (She picks him up with her teeth and puts him on the little towel) That should keep it, toasty sugar.
Sleep tight, honey lamb, in pleasant dreams.
Hiya, Teensy! Want to see my dirt collection?
Oh, Whopper! I just had him all calmed down and you went and uncalmed him again!
Maybe he’s so scared of dirt.
(to the audience) You know what? I’m scared of everything.
Okay, kid. Put it right there, kid! Come on, kid! You can do it, kid! Give it the old pepper, kid!
Perfectamundo, kid! Hey, Teensy, my pup. Mellow out. No one’s gonna hurt you down here.
We’re all super-duper fun loving puppies just like you!
Yeah. Just like you except we’re a milli… a trill… a kabillion times bigger. Yeah.
Don’t you pay no never mind to that, sugar plum. Size doesn’t matter. It’s what’s in here that counts.
Let’s see how this works out, honey lamb.
Nonsense! Like my grandmother used to say “Where there’s a pound puppy, there’s a way.” (gasps) I’ve got it. Here’s Nose Marie’s little old secret recipe for a teensy meal. Take one slightly beat up rubber glove. (cutting finger gloves) Add an empty salt shaker, fill it to the brain with cold fresh milk, mix in a little magic, and before you say “Bye, you baby.” You’re dining like a southern puppy king!
(to the audience) You know what? I’m happy.
Got any nifty Queenie’s?
No. Goldfish.
Well, after two weeks with us, puparoo, you seem to be getting along just dand-dand-danding.
Yes. I’m winning.
Whoa! Either my ears are on the fritz, so Holly’s trying to contact me with Puppy Power.
What’s Puppy Power?
You might call it radio station K-Pup that plays nothing but love songs.
(to Cooler) Puppy love songs, that is.
Hi, everyone. I’ve got great news! I found a perfect home for Teensy. This little girl lives in an apartment, and a small puppy like Teensy would fit in just right. Auntie Katrina’s away buying more bricks, so now’s the time to get him out. I’ll meet you upstairs.
(gasps) Home? For Teensy?
Of course-a-rooney. Remember the Pound Puppy model, neither rain, no snow, no Katrina Stoneheart.
So, stop the good guys!
From delivering neato puppies.
(singing) To happy home!
I know. I just didn’t think he’d have to leave me so soon.
Teensy, this is your new home.
Are you coming with me, Nose Marie?
No, sweetie pie. You live with a nice little girl here.
(crying) I don’t want to leave you, Nose Marie!
Golly gee willikers! No pup’s ever not wanted to be adopted before.
Yeah, this could put a bad mark on our whiz-bang success record.
Ah! I don’t wanna be a bad mark! I just want to stay with Nose Marie!
Don’t worry, Teensy. We’ll find another puppy for this little girl.
And we’ll take you back to the little old pound with us.
(hugging her) Thank you, Nose Marie!
There. That should fix any icky-poo mice that come in here. There are enough scary traps to catch a zillion yucky mices, eh, Catgut?
(meows)
What? Brattina, what is going on?
“Brattina, what is going on?” I’m trying to catch a mouse, nosy-pants. What’s it look like?
Brattina still thinks Teensy’s a mouse, and she covered the yard with traps.
And here comes the wicked witch of the worst Katrina.
What the…?
Booga-booga-booga!
It’s Cooler and those miserable mutts. Brattina! Stop those confounded canines! Don’t just stand there, you ninny! Get them!
No! Mommy Dearest, look out!
Ouch! Ow! Ooh! Ah! Ah! Ow!
Eww! Mommy Dearest, that looks totally painful.
(Angry with her) Not half as painful as the punishment you’ll get for this!
(Off-screen) But, Mommy Dearest!
(singing) Lots of bricks, Lots of bricks
Build the wall real high
I’ll keep on cementing bricks
Until I touch the sky
(singing) Stinky bricks, smelly bricks
Mommy Dearest, why?!
If we don’t stop for Christmas,
I’ll whine and scream and cry (whining)
Whoa! Looks like the spring is sprung. Which means, Nose Marie, it’s time to snip the apron strings and find Teensy a home. Before he eats us out of ours.
I’m powerfully fond of him, but I can barely lift his food dish anymore. (to Teensy) Teensy, dinner time!
Oh, boy.
You’re right, Cooler. I guess it’s time to get Teensy adopted.
Adopted? But I don’t wanna leave, Nose Marie. (crying) Whoo, is me!
Teensy, sugar plum, everyone has to leave the nest some time and we’ll come and visit at your new home.
You promise?
Positively, Teensy, my pup.
And remember, honey lamb. Just let out a little old howl, (howling) and I’ll come running.
All right. I’ll go.
(in her walkie-talkie) Mommy Dearest, I’m sick of the stinky smelly wall! Come down already, why don’tcha!
Stop whining, Brattina! I want to put one more row of bricks on, and then I’ll be down. (to the audience) Cooler and those crummy canines will never help another mutt escape. (laughs evilly)
Whoa! Looks like Katrina’s been a busy little bad girl.
Come on! Auntie Katrina’s way up there. She’ll never see you leave.
(meows)
Mommy Dearest! Where did the horsey come from? Can we keep him, Mommy Dearest? Oh, please! Can we keep him?
Stop talking nonsense! What’s going on down there?
(Off-screen) Holly’s letting Cooler and some dogs and a horsey go out the front gate.
Cooler and some dogs?! Well, stop them, you fool! (noticing the wall has a crack) Oh, no! My wonderful wall!
Looks like Katrina’s plan isn’t all it was cracked up to be. (laughs)
NO!!
Mutts drive me nuts!
There it is, Teensy. Your new hap-hap-happy home.
Well, I guess this is goodbye, Nose Marie.
Oh! But I don’t want you to go!
Now, now. Everyone has to leave the nest some time. Besides, I’ll come visit ya.
You promise?
Positively! And remember, just let out a howl, (howling) and I’ll come running.
(to the audience) You know what? I’m happy.
You know what? So am I.
