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.
BrainUh, 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.
Okay, maestro, if you please.
Hey, what's that crowd doing in the alley? Top Cat must be up to something.
Brain
The least T.C. could have done was let us rehearse this once.
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.
I'm ready, Brain! [sees Brain holding Officer Dibble] Officer Dibble, what are you doing here? Everybody wants to get in the act.
Brain, I'm warning you. Put me down or I'll run you in.
Brain
Uh, Okay. [drops Office Dibble as he lands on the trash can]
MMan
It wasn't much, but he sure is game.
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!
Ok, Fancy, hit the breaks.
Hit the breaks, will you, Spook?
Yeah, the breaks, Chooch.
Quick, Brain, the breaks.
Brain
Breaks? Uh, what breaks?
[sarcastically] That's what I like about you, Brain. You think of nothing.
Brain
Uh, what happened?
[angry] Do me a favour, Brain. Don't tell anyone I know you.
[Dibble reads the note found with the baby]
Okay, Dibble, you satisfied?
Alright, so he was abandoned and you found him. Now hand him over!
But Dib, we were going to adopt the kid ourselves!
Are you kidding? YOU guys?
We'll take care of him, honest! Chooch knows how to handle diapers!
Oh, sure, pal. And what are you going to teach him, roulette?
Brain
We could take him to night school and put him through some courses...
Sorry, fellas. There's laws about recovering lost property and abandoned kids come under that heading.
We take the kid in and find him a new home.
Furthermore, before you can adopt a baby you have to be shown as a legal hardworking citizen, with a regular fixed income!
[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.
We named him you Officer Dibble.
Yeah, Dib. We figured you might want to be the kid's godfather.
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.
Well, stockholders, you requested a clarification of our company's position, so have a look. [the line goes up and down until it reaches the ground] We'd be even lower, but I ran out of room. Gentlemen, I hate to shake you up, but by now a depression would be an improvement.
Brain
[clapping his hands] Here, here!
As board chairman, may I move that the gentleman from the west side shut his yap?
This is it, T.C. Honeydew and her folks live up on the fourth floor.
Alright, 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.
Brain
Where will we get it? You took all we had.
Fake it, boy. Fake it. Spook and Choo-Choo, we've got to play poker like we've never played before.
Now 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?
You're remembering. And I came home and taught the game to you.
[gasps] You don't mean.....?
Not Acey-Deucy under my shoesy?
But T.C. That game ain't honest.
Yeah and besides, like, could we get away with it?
Gentlemen, it seems that we are face-to-face with the grim spectre of employment.
Now let's not be hasty, T.C.
Brain
Uh, we can discuss this calmly and, uh, sensibly.
Yeah, over a little game of, like, uh....
[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"?
What's all this "Eek-Eek" stuff?
Oh, the boys got a touch of indigestion. Have a banana, Dib...
Oh... they're from an anthropoid!
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!
All that work for nothing! Oh, boy...
Brain
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]
[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?
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!
[soaking wet] I'm gonna sampharize you, T.C.! I'll see that you get 30 days!
Brain
What are we going to do, T.C.?
I don't know, but we'll think of something. Come on, let's go...
[Dibble drives up in his car]
Hey, fellas... get in. Come on, come on, we're wasting time!
Gosh, Dib, I don't know what to say. You got me.
Skip it, T.C.! I figured you guys needed a vacation too.
[the gang get into Dibble's car]
