Sylvester: Five more milesth of fabulousth song stylingsth of Puny-do Domingo...
Louie: That's some singer you got there, chère.
Granny: Oh, thank you! And, though I'm often mistaken for her, I am not Cher. The name is Granny.
Louie: No, no, you see, "chère" is just a term we use down here. It means "lovely lady."
Dora: Dogs... Cats... Don't expect me to clean after your hairy beasts... especially birds!
Tweety: I tawt I taw a t'ug! I did, I did tee a t'ug!
Sylvester: Nobody liftsth my lunch and getsth away with it!
Mugsy: Old maid?
Rocky: What did ya call me?
Mugsy: Duh. Nothin', boss! I was just talkin' about th' game.
Rocky: Shut up and deal...
Tweety: You puddy tat wovers might wanna cwose your eyes.
Rocky: Amanda's finally marryin' young Mort and we got all this racket. Shut th' boid up.
Mugsy: Duh, "I represent the Acme Vacuum Company, and I'd like to demonstrate our newest model: the Inhaler 2000. Dirty carpet? It'll clean it; Musty drapes? It'll unmust them; Bird feathers? It'll suck them right up its power hose. All of this can be yours for three small payments of $99.99." Duh, it's caught my interest!
Dora: Forgot to drop these cheap candies on your window. Pets in their rooms... No way I'm gonna clean up all those bird feathers!
Judge: The bird's put on some weight and the old lady needs a shave.
Granny: Why, the nerve of those two! I would never wear a dress like that.
