Quotes 

• [Top Cat's party is interrupted] 

  Top Cat : Uh-oh... Why, Officer Dibble, you look positively nauseating. Is something the matter?

  [Dibble growls] 

  Top Cat : Couldn't you find the chop suey? Don't worry about it, just give Benny the address and...

  [Dibble snarls] 

  Top Cat : Okay gang, party's over... huh?

  [Everyone's gone, leaving TC to face Dibble alone] 

  Top Cat : Cowards!

• Top Cat : [looking inside his can]  Now, where's my toothbrush? I'll just have to run down to the corner store for a new one...

  Officer Dibble : You won't be able to talk your way out of this one, T.C.!

  [shuts the trash can, trapping Top Cat inside] 

  Officer Dibble : Okay, boys! Pick it up!

  [a garbage truck rolls down the alley] 

  Top Cat : I hate to pry, sir, but what's happening?

  Officer Dibble : [carrying the can]  You know that Hudson River cruise you wanted?

  Top Cat : You mean...?

  Officer Dibble : Right! I'm gonna let you have it!

  [tosses the can into the truck, and it drives away] 

  Officer Dibble : Bon voyage, Top Cat!

• [last lines] 

  [on a garbage tug boat on the Hudson] 

  Top Cat : Well, it isn't the cruise I had in mind, and the accommodations aren't exactly first-class. But who's complaining? At least this way I'll avoid the crowd!

• Officer Dibble : [on the phone]  It's incredible, Sarge. He's taking it like a man. You'd never believe he has one week left to live.

  Top Cat : [thunderstruck]  So that's it... the Doc was holding out on me... old T.C.'s gonna cash in his chips in a week!

  Officer Dibble : I gotta go now, Sarge. Poor old Top Cat...

  [hangs up and leaves] 

  Top Cat : For the first time in my life I think I'm gonna faint!
