[Dibble reads the note found with the baby]
Officer Dibble : Okay, so he was abandoned and you found him. Now hand him over!
Top Cat : But Dib, we were going to adopt the kid ourselves!
Officer Dibble : Are you kidding? YOU guys?
Benny the Ball : 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?
Brain : 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.
Top Cat : [poking Dibble] But...
Officer Dibble : We take the kid in and find him a new home.
Top Cat : [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!
Top Cat : Oh, boy...
Officer Dibble : Now will you cut out the stalling and give me the kid?

Top Cat : What is this, "East Lynn" or something? You're all acting like it's a beat picture! Okay, so we lost the kid! Anyway, we tried!

Choo Choo : Gee, I wish I could be tough and hard like T.C. He's got nerves of steel. Nothing upsets him.
Spook : Yeah, he's one real cool cat, man...
Top Cat : Hey, Benny...
Benny the Ball : Yeah, T.C.?
Top Cat : [weeping softly] You got a hanky I can borrow?
Benny the Ball : Sure, T.C. Here.
[to the amazement of the gang, Top Cat wipes his face on the handkerchief]
Top Cat : Well? What's the matter with you guys? Haven't you ever seen anyone with something in his eye before?
Choo Choo : Sure we did, T.C. But not you.

[TC sends the gang off to get things for a new scam]
Top Cat : I'll be with you in a minute...
[looks towards Charlie's direction]
Top Cat : Well, so long, Charlie boy. So long, son. Did I just say that? "Son"? Oh, boy. That's the end. You gotta be careful or they'll get you down. They're dangerous.
[catches up with the gang]
Top Cat : All right, you guys, let's get down to business! Remember, there's only six of us now, and in this big City there's tons of opportunities lying in wait! All we have to do is dig for it! Let's dig, dig, dig, men!

Top Cat : What is it with you guys? Have you all flipped over a baby? The world is full of babies!
Benny the Ball : Yeah, but we found this one, T.C.!

Benny the Ball : I was an orphan once.
Top Cat : So what do ya want, a medal or something?
-
Top Cat : Well, we DID find the kid, although I would've been a lot happier if he were the kind of pic-a-nic basket we were looking for...
