Quotes
-
Policeman : [a parrot has squawked "Mad dog!" in the pet shop, provoking pandemonium] . What's going on around here?
Pete Kelly : I dunno. It's a mystery to me.
Policeman : Where is this mad dog?
Myrtle Montrose : Oh, officer, there isn't any mad dog. It was just Gabby.
Policeman : Who?
Myrtle Montrose : Gabby. You know - my little parrot.
Policeman : Oh, it's a mad parrot. I guess I gotta shoot him, huh?
Pet Shop Proprietor : That's okay with me!
Myrtle Montrose : If you harm a hair of his head I'll sue you.
Pete Kelly : There's nothing the matter with the parrot. He just talks too much.
Policeman : So do you. Shut up!
Myrtle Montrose : Now listen officer, I can explain everything. You see I came in here to see if I could trade this parrot for this little dog. Look at him. Isn't he cute?
Policeman : [Gabby squawks "Mad dog! Mad dog! Mad dog!"] . I'll run the whole bunch of you in.
Pet Shop Proprietor : Look lady, take-a da parott. Take-a da dog. Take-a da store, if you want. But please go out before I get crazy. Before everybody gets crazy.
Myrtle Montrose : Well, do you really mean it?
Pet Shop Proprietor : Si, with my heart and soul. Please - Go!
