• Danny : Looks like we'll be the only two cats on the ark. Isn't that great?

  Sawyer : So much for preserving the species!

• Sawyer : Well, well. Run of the soundstage, use of Darla's ark, costumes... I don't know. Something seems fishy.

  Frances : I beg your pardon?

  Sawyer : Sorry. It's just that I smell a rat.

  Rat : Excuse me?

  Sawyer : Oh, never mind.

• Sawyer : Look, tiger. This town has rules. Around here cats say, "Meow."

  Danny : But that's so old hat. I'm sure no one would mind if I jazzed this up a bit.

  Sawyer : Okay, learn it the hard way.

  Danny : [dramiatic reading]  Meow!

  [as Gabby Hayes] 

  Danny : Meow! Dagnabit, meow!

  [as Edward G. Robinson] 

  Danny : Meow, see? Yeah, that's it. Meow! Meow!

  Tillie Hippo : Sawyer, what happened to you?

  T.W. : Did you walk under a ladder? Smash a mirror?

  Cranston : Have you looked in one lately?

  Sawyer : No, a cat crossed my path.

  Tillie Hippo : Really? Orange tabby?

  Sawyer : Yes.

  Tillie Hippo : Green vest?

  Sawyer : Uh huh.

  Tillie Hippo : Straw hat?

  Sawyer : Yes.

  Tillie Hippo : Oh, what a coinky-dink!

  Sawyer : How did you know?

  Tillie Hippo : Oh, hippo's intuition.

• Sawyer : [reading Danny's Hollywood check list from earlier]  Let's see.. go to premiere. Check. Land a big part. Check.

  [mock surprise] 

  Sawyer : Get the girl?

  [Danny smiles sheepishly] 

  Sawyer : [coyly smiles]  Check.

  [She kisses Danny] 

• Danny : What if I could get you an audition with L.B. Mammoth?

  Sawyer : L.B. Mammoth? Head of Mammoth Studios?

  Danny : I'm sure he'd appreciate good talent.

  Cranston : After nothing but Darla, he's gotta be starving for it!

• Tillie Hippo : Well?

  Sawyer : I can't do this.

  Tillie Hippo : And?

  Sawyer : I can't do this.

  Tillie Hippo : So?

  Sawyer : I can't believe I'm doing this.

• Sawyer : Sometimes I ask myself, "Why do I put up with this?"

  Frances : The glamour?

  Sawyer : What, this pig sty? No offense, Harry.

  Harry the Pig : None taken.

  Sawyer : Unless you're talking about the glamour of filing, the romance of typing.

• Danny : Say, what happened back there?

  Sawyer : Look, I...

  Danny : Did I hit a sour note? Because if I hit a sour note, I can go back and... I can fix it.

  Sawyer : Danny, they don't care! Don't you get it? What's the matter with you? Why are you so determined on making a fool of yourself?

  Danny : What do you mean? All I want to do is the thing I love. Doesn't everyone?

  Sawyer : It's not that simple.

  Danny : It is in Kokomo.

  Sawyer : Then... maybe that's where you should have stayed.
