- Lickboot: [discussing Robyn Starling] Just pray the police find her, or we're doomed to return to the ranks of the peasantry. And you'd better hope this rumor that dashing Daddy Starling may have survived the avalanche is just a rumor, or we'll be worse than ordinary. We'll be...
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Don't say it!
- Lickboot: Poor.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Pennyless!
- Lickboot: Bankrupt!
- Aunt Pristine Figg: No more m-money?
- Lickboot: [in a sinister tone] We've got to have... *money!*
- Puggsy: What's your names?
- Tom: I'm Tom.
- Jerry: I'm Jerry.
- Tom, Jerry: [look at each other] You talk!
- Tom: Well sure I talk. What do you think I am, a dummy?
- Jerry: You said it. I didn't.
- Tom: Hey, you little pipsqueak, I oughtta - Hey! How come you never spoke before?
- Jerry: Well, there was nothing I wanted to say that I thought you'd understand... and there still isn't!
- Tom: All Right, that does it, you little - Boy you get me angry!
- Puggsy: Uh uh uh, it's like I told you, you guys have got to learn to be friends.
- Robyn Starling: He's alive? My daddy's alive? I've got to go find him, it'll be cold in Tibet, I'm gonna wear a hat.
- Jerry: Tibet?
- Robyn Starling: That's where my daddy is, that's where I'm going.
- Tom: Do you have any idea where Tibet is?
- Robyn Starling: No.
- [ties up bedsheets]
- Jerry: It's way way way out there.
- Tom: Over the river.
- Jerry: Over the hills, it's past Cleveland.
- Robyn Starling: [hands Tom the sheets] Here, Tom, throw this out the window.
- Robyn Starling: I'm an orphan, my mother died when I was a baby.
- Jerry: What about your father? What happened to him?
- Robyn Starling: My father was on an expedition climbing in the mountains when the snow gave way in a, a...
- Tom: Avalanche?
- Robyn Starling: Uh huh, and he was the most wonderful father in the world. He had his own special place just for the two of us, and...
- Jerry: And that's where you were going?
- Robyn Starling: Uh huh, and to get away from my Aunt Figg. She's not really my aunt, just my guardian, she's taken over the house, she moved my room to the attic and gave my room to her dog, Ferdinand.
- Tom: Ferdinand?
- Robyn Starling: Aunt Figg was always calling me orphan. She even stole my locket and threw it out the window, but I climbed down and found it...
- Jerry: And kept on running.
- Robyn Starling: As fast as I could, and I'm never going back.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Well, your little friends certainly are house broken, they've been here only five minutes and already they've broken the house.
- Lickboot: [pass a direction sign, reverse back to it] AH-HA, Of course.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Lickboot, what are doing? You're gonna lose them.
- Lickboot: Don't worry. Now I know where they're going. We're taking a short cut.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: You know where they're going? How do you know?
- Lickboot: Lawyers know everything.
- [drive in a direction that soon is later to reveal a path to Robyn's Nest]
- Robyn Starling: There it is. There's the cabin, daddy built it just for me. We come up here every summer. He taught me to swim, and sail, and fish. Daddy will know where to find me, maybe he's here already. I bet he is.
- [Ties the boat to dock, Robyn runs up cabin stairs and enter cabin]
- Robyn Starling: Daddy?
- Aunt Pristine Figg: [Adark figure turns on an oil lamp, which reveal to be Aunt Figg] Daddy... is dead.
- Robyn Starling: [screams] TOM. JERRY. HELP!
- [Lickboot closed the leaving Tom, Jerry, and Ferdinand outside, and then locked the door]
- Lickboot: And if you know what's good for you. You'll never run away again. Never.
- Robyn Starling: You're not taking back. You'll never take me back.
- Lickboot: [grabs Robyn by the wrist] Oh, yes we will.
- [Ferdinand laughs at Figg and Lickboot arguing about Robyn]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: You find this amusing, Ferdie, you fat freeloader? You're the one who let her get away!
- [Ferdinand mumbles something in pidgin English about eating]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: I know you were eating. You're ALWAYS eating.
- [Picks up a cupcake]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: You want this cupcake?
- Ferdinand: [Smacking his lips] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yum!
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Fetch!
- [Throws the cupcake. Ferdie goes after it on his skateboard, gobbles it up, and smashes straight into a door]
- Ferdinand: [Dizzy] Thank you.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: [On the phone with Lickboot, the day after Robyn's second escape] Hello, what do want now, Lickboot?
- [pause to listen]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: No more money?
- Lickboot: [Talking at work office] Without proof, that Robyn's being well cared for, we can't touch another penny of her father's money.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Don't talk foolishness Lickboot. Can't you... do something...
- [evil snicker]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Devious? I sure if you put you mind to it, you can be really, sleazy.
- Lickboot: Why thank you, Pristine. But suppose we get her back, and the little brat tell Daddy Starling, why she ran away.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Who's gonna believe, an over emotional, whining distraught little girl? Or me, her warm loving, concern nanny? Now do something, I mean lie, cheat, steal, corrupt a government! Do anything to get that money! You nervy nitwit.
- Lickboot: Oh well, That's easy, a reward.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: A reward?
- Lickboot: Yes, people will do anything for money.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Oh, don't I know. So?
- Lickboot: So, we offer a reward for her. Someone will turn her in. Big reward. Say one million dollars.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: But, we don't have a million dollars!
- Lickboot: I know, that's why it's so sleazy.
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Huh? Oh.
- [gasp, snickering]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Oh I love it, when you talk like that.
- [last lines]
- Robyn Starling: [leading Tom and Jerry into the house] Tom, Jerry, welcome to your new home!
- Puggsy: [to Tom and Jerry] You guys are fighting like a cat and a mouse.
- Frankie da Flea: They are a cat and a mouse, Puggsy.
- Puggsy: That's true, Frankie, but they gotta learn to be pals or they ain't gonna make it out here.
- Puggsy: [in Dr. Applecheek's dog pound] Well well well...
- Tom: Puggsy, Frankie!
- Jerry: What're you guys doing here?
- Puggsy: The stray catchers finally got me, so I ain't perfect all the time.
- Frankie da Flea: I've been telling you that for years.
- Puggsy: How'd you guys get stuck in a fix like this?
- Tom: We met this little orphan girl.
- Jerry: Her name's Robyn.
- Tom: Only she's not an orphan.
- Jerry: Her father's alive!
- Tom: Yeah, but she don't know it.
- Puggsy: What? What are you guys talking about?
- Jerry: Her Aunt Figg got us before we could tell her.
- Tom: We've got to bust out of here, the kid's gotta know!
- Jerry: Sure, but how?
- Puggsy: Somebody's got to get over there and press the buttons on the control panel.
- Tom: [after Robyn almost hits him with her backpack] Whoa, hold it, hold it!
- Robyn Starling: Who-who are you?
- Tom: Nobody.
- Jerry: Just us. He's Tom and I'm Jerry.
- Robyn Starling: Oh, I thought you were somebody else. I thought you were following me.
- Tom: Heck, no.
- Robyn Starling: Well then, what are you doing out here?
- Tom: We're lost and we're looking for something to eat.
- Jerry: Yeah, we're kinda hungry.
- Robyn Starling: Oh, well I've got cookies and an apple and...
- [scene cuts to them eating under the bridge]
- Robyn Starling: [after Tom and Jerry wreak the kitchen] Well?
- Tom: She says it's a house. And I'm a house-cat kind of guy.
- Robyn Starling: Jerry? Where's Jerry?
- Tom: Maybe Ferdy ate him.
- Robyn Starling: [sternly] Tom!
- Tom: Hey, don't look at me. What am I, my mouse's keeper?
- [Robyn gives him a pleading look]
- Tom: Okay, okay, I'll go look for him.
- Tom: [looking for Jerry through the wreckage of the cabin] What would I do without ya? You were the best pal a guy could ever have! Oh, please be alive! I promise ya... uh... uh...
- Jerry: [standing behind him] All the cheese I can eat?
- Tom: Yeah, all the cheese you can eat.
- Jerry: And no more traps?
- Tom: No more traps.
- Jerry: And no tricks?
- Tom: No tricks.
- Jerry: That's a promise?
- Tom: That's a...
- [realizes Jerry is behind him]
- Tom: Ooh, I'm gonna...
- [grabs him]
- Tom: Why, you little...!
- Robyn Starling: [notices them] Tom! Jerry! You're safe!
- [runs toward them]
- Tom: [runs toward her] Robyn!
- [they meet together in a warm group hug. Robyn's father joins them]
- Daddy Starling: Robyn, I promise I'll never leave you again.
- Tom: [after Robyn says she's not going back; sarcastically] Oh, smart. Real smart, kid. You got a roof over your head, three sure meals a day, a warm bed. Who'd wanna leave that?
- Jerry: I hate to admit it, Robyn, but Tom's right. You never know what you'll miss until you don't have it.
- Robyn Starling: You don't know Aunt Figg! She seems sweet, but underneath she's mean. *Real* mean.
- Jerry: Aw, come on. I'll bet she's frantic looking for you.
- Tom: Oh, sure. She's crying her eyes out for you right this minute.
- Robyn Starling: [seeing Tom and Jerry at her window] Jerry! Tom!
- Jerry: Robyn, have we got news for you.
- [Tom slips off the roof and grabs the window ledge. He then starts to slip, but Robyn grabs him and pulls him inside. She then closes the window]
- Robyn Starling: He's alive? My daddy's alive? I've got to go find him, it'll be cold in Tibet, I'm gonna wear a hat.
- Jerry: Tibet?
- Robyn Starling: That's where my daddy is, that's where I'm going.
- Tom: Do you have any idea where Tibet is?
- Robyn Starling: No.
- [ties up bedsheets]
- Jerry: It's way way way out there.
- Tom: Over the river.
- Jerry: Over the hills, it's past Cleveland.
- Robyn Starling: [hands Tom the sheets] Here, Tom, throw this out the window.
- Robyn Starling: [hiding under the bridge; spots something] What's that over there?
- Tom: Ah, it's just an old crate.
- [Jerry takes a closer look]
- Jerry: Wrong again.
- Robyn Starling, Jerry: It's a raft!
- Jerry: [after trapping the stray-catchers] Uh-oh. Don't look now, but here comes the dragon-lady!
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Robyn! Come to your dear Aunt Figg, darling.
- [to her henchmen]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Spread out and don't let the brat get by you.
- Robyn Starling: What do we do?
- [Tom looks around and sees something]
- Tom: I'll get us outta here. Come on!
- [they run toward a steam riverboat and climb aboard]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: They're getting away!
- [Tom starts randomly pressing buttons]
- Jerry: Push the red button! It's always the red one!
- Tom: I know it! I was just gonna push it.
- Robyn Starling: Tom, Jerry, hurry!
- [Aunt Figg and her henchmen approach the boat. Tom presses the red button and the boat starts up and speeds away]
- Puggsy: First time out in the cold? I've been on my own for 2 years now. My owners left me behind when they moved.
- Captain Kiddie: [to Robin] You happen to be in the ship of... Captain Kiddie!
- Squawk: WAAAAAAWK!
- Captain Kiddie: Oh, yes... and his first mate, Squawk.
- Robyn Starling: [giggles] He's funny!
- Patrolman: [after bringing Robyn back] There she is! Safe and sound. We found her down by the old bridge.
- [Robyn notices Tom and Jerry behind him]
- Robyn Starling: Tom, Jerry!
- [runs over to them]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Who?
- Robyn Starling: They're my new friends. Let me keep them, please? They won't be any bother. Please?
- [Tom walks up to Aunt Figg and rubs against her and meows]
- Jerry: Oh, brother.
- Robyn Starling: Please?
- Patrolman: [to Aunt Figg] Under the circumstances, it might be a good idea, ma'am, if you know what I mean.
- [Aunt Figg growls in anger, then composes herself]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: That's just what I was thinking, officer.
- [pushes Tom away; to Robyn]
- Aunt Pristine Figg: Of course you can keep them, darling.
- Robyn Starling: I can?
- Jerry: See? She's not as bad as you thought.
- Robyn Starling: You'll stay, won't you? You'll have a real home again.
- Tom: Will I? You bet!
- [Robyn picks up Jerry]
- Tom: Uh, him too?
- Robyn Starling: Of course him too.
- Jerry: Thanks, Robyn.
