Top CatPlease, this is no time for jokes Chooch. We're being packed off to the clink. [takes out some of the coins from the treasure chest] Hey. Hey, it does look like real money.
Great. Now we'll be booked on a counterfeiting rap.
Top Cat[angry] Er, Benny...
Yes T.C.?
Top CatI have one question. What do you do for an encore? Sheesh.
[feebly] I'm sorry, Top Cat.
Top CatUh-oh. The money's gone
What's the matter, T.C?
Top CatBenny the Ball is in trouble.
If that's trouble then I'll, like, take a double order.
This is it, T.C. Honeydew and her folks live up on the fourth floor.
Top CatAlright, Benny. Now you go on up and tell them we'll join them shortly. Brain and Fancy, you stay outside. We'll signal out of the window if we need more money.
Where will we get it? You took all we had.
Top CatFake it, boy. Fake it. Spook and Choo-Choo, we've got to play poker like we've never played before.
Crazy.
Got'cha, coach.
Top CatNow then, do you boys remember the time I told you about in Philly a couple of years ago?
Where you ran into those army guys?
And you played poker, like, for two days?
Top CatYou're remembering. And I came home and taught the game to you.
[gasps] You don't mean.....?
Not Acey-Deucy under my shoesy?
Top CatThe very same.
But T.C. That game ain't honest.
Yeah and besides, like, could we get away with it?
Top CatGentlemen, it seems that we are face-to-face with the grim spectre of employment.
Now let's not be hasty, T.C.
Uh, we can discuss this calmly and, uh, sensibly.
Yeah, over a little game of, like, uh....
...Pool?
Top CatLook, Marvo old pal, not that I'm impatient or anything but what time do the massages start? And the champagne?
[confused] Eek?
Top CatYou know, like it says in the newspaper, [He hands Marvo the newspaper] the piped-in music special, the food, the silked sheets, and the limousines. On that, do we have a choice of colour? Shouldn't there be orchestra dances?
Eek-Eek [He bursts out laughing whilst pointing at the newspaper]
I think he's trying to tell us something.
Top CatHe's probably trying to tell us we've been had. Come on, we're getting out of here even if we have to dig our way out.
Top CatFellas, do you know where we are? Cape, and get this, Canaveral!
Canaveral?
You mean where they... "whoosh!"
Top CatUh-huh!
And get this: they "whoosh!" with us in the "whoosh!"-ster!
[Top Cat receives a crate of bananas from Africa]
Top Cat[reading an attached note] "Compliments from a wide and grateful family and friend. Signed, Eek-Eek."
"Eek-Eek"?
What's all this "Eek-Eek" stuff?
Top CatOh, the boys got a touch of indigestion. Have a banana, Dib...
Who're the bananas from?
Top CatOh... they're from an anthropoid!
An anthropoid? That's nice. But getting back to chimpanzees, I'll always remember Marvo.
Top Cat[holding a banana] So will I, so will I! And why shouldn't I remember him? [eats the banana] After all, he remembered me!
Top CatFor the first time in my life I think I'm gonna faint! [faints]
Hey Top Cat! Wake up! Talk to me! You still have a few days left! Gee, I better get him back to the doctor. We gotta keep him gone.
Top Cat[inside the trash can] I hate to pry, sir, but what's happening?
[carrying the can] You know that Hudson River cruise you wanted T.C.?
Top CatYou mean...?
Yeah! I'm gonna let you have it! [tosses the can into the truck, and it drives away] Bon voyage, Top Cat! [laughs as he is satisfied about Top Cat leaving]
Top CatThe "Lola Glamour" club is now disbanded! Those wishing to join the "Gina lollapalooza" club say Aye!
Aye
[angry] Don't you dare mention that woman's name. I can't stand Gina Lollapalooza.
I don't blame you. She can act.
I don't think she likes us, T.C...
Top CatThat is the understatement of the year. But who cares? It's Chooch I'm worried about!
Like, er, he ain't around pops. I bet he heard all she said.
Top CatYou're right. And you know how sensitive Chooch gets this time of the year. Let's find him, quick.
Yeah, like he may already be... [makes a "gun to the head" hand gesture]
Top CatSpook! Wash out your mouth with soap!
Top CatAll that work for nothing! Oh, boy...
Where are you going, T.C.?
Top Cat[holding Choo Choo's boulder] I'm gonna pick up where Chooch left off! Goodbye, cruel world!
[Officer Dibble rushes up]
[grabbing the boulder] Hold it, Top Cat! You ain't getting away from me that easy!
Top CatOh, come on, Dib, can't I even drown in peace?
Forget the lake, T.C.! You're going up the river! Now throw that rock away NOW!
Top CatThrow away the rock. Okay, you're the law! [he chucks the boulder over the bridge, and Dibble goes with it and looks down] Oh, I'm so sorry about your uniform, sir! I hope it sampharizes!
[soaking wet] I'm gonna sampharize you, T.C.! I'll see that you get 30 days!
Top CatI haven't had a job for as long as I can remember. And, my little Benny has no shoes. My poor Chooch has never been to school...
What do you mean "I haven't been to school?" I have so.
Top CatQuiet Chooch. Kindergarten doesn't count so don't interrupt.
But gosh Top Cat.
Top CatIt's the moment of decision: do we want other moochers movin' in and moochin' in our moochery? No, we must make a stand. And most of all, remember, it's not for us... it's for Tony and all the zebras in Africa.
