Officer Dibble quotes from Top Cat

Step right up, folks. This is it, the big time in the big top where for a slight fee you'll see right before your very eyes the most daring, unbelievable high trapeze act ever attempted. I call your attention to stage right for the start of this death-defying act.

Uh, nobody said anything about defying no death to me.

This brave performer will swing across the street, catch his partner and swing back, all without a net.

Choo Choo

Now he tells me.

Okay, maestro, if you please.

Right. [plays drumroll]

Officer Dibble

Hey, what's that crowd doing in the alley? Top Cat must be up to something.

The least T.C. could have done was let us rehearse this once.

Officer Dibble

500 alleys in New York, and I gotta have one with a nut in it. [Brain catches him] What in the.

Officer Dibble! Excuse me, folks. I gotta go water the elephants.

Choo Choo

I'm ready, Brain! [sees Brain holding Officer Dibble] Officer Dibble, what are you doing here? Everybody wants to get in the act.

Officer Dibble

Brain, I'm warning you. Put me down or I'll run you in.

Uh, Okay. [drops Office Dibble as he lands on the trash can]

MMan

It wasn't much, but he sure is game.

Officer Dibble

That did it. Now I'm really sore. Old Dibble is on the warpath. And when I find that Top Cat, the feathers are gonna fly!

Officer Dibble

[sees Top Cat opening the fire hydrant from his car] Now what's Top Cat up to? Tampering with a hydrant, huh? [stops his car] Top Cat, what's going on?

[sends a gush of water out of the hydrant] There she blows!

Officer Dibble

Hey, you can't...

[the gush of water sprays in Dibble's face, filling his car up with water]

Hey, like, it's Officer Dibble!

Choo-Choo

Uh-oh! He ain't gonna like that!

[Dibble mouths "That Top Cat" in his water filled car]

Uh-oh. Spook, Dibble's gaining on T.C.

Fancy-Fancy

Yeah. He's starting down the alley now.

Don't worry, men, it's in the bag.

Officer Dibble

Oh no. Looks like I got a flat tyre.

It's called, um... if you'll pardon the term. "Naked Town."

Oooooh, what he said!

Don't encourage him, Benny.

[Dibble reads the note found with the baby]

Okay, Dibble, you satisfied?

Officer Dibble

Alright, so he was abandoned and you found him. Now hand him over!

But Dib, we were going to adopt the kid ourselves!

Officer Dibble

Are you kidding? YOU guys?

We'll take care of him, honest! Chooch knows how to handle diapers!

Officer Dibble

Oh, sure, pal. And what are you going to teach him, roulette?

We could take him to night school and put him through some courses...

Officer Dibble

Sorry, fellas. There's laws about recovering lost property and abandoned kids come under that heading.

[poking Dibble] But...

Officer Dibble

We take the kid in and find him a new home.

[poking Dibble] But...

Officer Dibble

Furthermore, before you can adopt a baby you have to be shown as a legal hardworking citizen, with a regular fixed income!

Oh, boy...

Officer Dibble

[loudly] Now will you cut out the stalling and give me the kid?

[the baby starts crying much to Benny and Choo Choo's horror]

Now you did it, now you woke up Charlie.

Officer Dibble

Charlie?

Choo Choo

We named him you Officer Dibble.

Yeah, Dib. We figured you might want to be the kid's godfather.

Officer Dibble

No kiddin'. That's real nice, you guys. But the baby's got to be taken in. It's regulations. [walks off] Come on, let's go.

[leaning against the fence] Okay, Benny. Dibble's gotta make his pinch for the day. At it might as well be someone he can handle. Give him the baby.

[Top Cat receives a crate of bananas from Africa]

[reading an attached note] "Compliments from a wide and grateful family and friend. Signed, Eek-Eek."

CCChoo Choo, Benny, Fancy-Fancy, Brain, Spook

"Eek-Eek"?

Officer Dibble

What's all this "Eek-Eek" stuff?

Oh, the boys got a touch of indigestion. Have a banana, Dib...

Officer Dibble

Who're the bananas from?

Oh... they're from an anthropoid!

Officer Dibble

An anthropoid? That's nice. But getting back to chimpanzees, I'll always remember Marvo.

[holding a banana] So will I, so will I! And why shouldn't I remember him? [eats the banana] After all, he remembered me!

[inside the trash can] I hate to pry, sir, but what's happening?

Officer Dibble

[carrying the can] You know that Hudson River cruise you wanted T.C.?

You mean...?

Officer Dibble

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]

All that work for nothing! Oh, boy...

Where are you going, T.C.?

[holding Choo Choo's boulder] I'm gonna pick up where Chooch left off! Goodbye, cruel world!

[Officer Dibble rushes up]

Officer Dibble

[grabbing the boulder] Hold it, Top Cat! You ain't getting away from me that easy!

Oh, come on, Dib, can't I even drown in peace?

Officer Dibble

Forget the lake, T.C.! You're going up the river! Now throw that rock away NOW!

Throw 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!

Officer Dibble

[soaking wet] I'm gonna sampharize you, T.C.! I'll see that you get 30 days!

Choo-Choo

Uh-oh. Spook, open manhole. Dead ahead.

I got it.

Officer Dibble

Dancing under the stars under the captivating rhythms of Chico Cougo, the cha-cha king. [he does the cha-cha dance whilst obliviously standing on top of Spook, who groans and sinks deeper each time] Cha cha, cha-cha-cha, cha cha, cha-cha-cha, cha cha, cha-cha-cha, cha cha, cha-cha-cha.

Nice work, Spook.

Man, like, uh, he dislocha-cha'd my sacridiliac
