Dialogue

[edit]
[First lines]
Jim Dear: [giving Darling the hatbox] It's for you, Darling. Merry Christmas.
Darling: Oh, Jim Dear. It's the one I was admiring, isn't it? Trimmed with ribbons?
Jim Dear: Well, it has the ribbon, huh?
[The box is opened; inside is the young cocker spaniel]
Darling: Oh, how sweet!
Jim Dear: You like her, darling?
Darling: Oh, I love her. What the perfectly beautiful little lady.
Tramp: [looks into the pet shop window and sees three adorable puppies, sleeping, until one of them walks closer to him] Aw, cute little rascals! [the puppy yaps happily] Cootchie-cootchie-cootchie-cootchie-coo!
Tramp: Hey. Psst. Psst.
Bull: Blimey! Look, Peg. It's the Tramp.
Tramp: Shh.
Peg: Hiya, handsome. Come to join the party?
Tramp: All right, all right. No time for wisecracks. I've gotta get you out. I'm tellin' ya, the pressure's really hot. Signs all over town.
Peg: Gee, thanks.
Bull: You're a bit of all right, chum.
Tramp: Okay, okay, get going.
Dog Catcher: Hey, what's goin' on over there?
Tramp: Scram! And be careful.
Dog Catcher: What?! You mangy mutt! Hey, let go! Let go of me!
Trusty: You see, Miss Lady, there comes the time in the life of all humans when, uh - Well, as they put it, uh, these Birds and these Bees? Or, well, uh, the stork? You know? No? Well, then, uh-
Jock: What he's trying to say, lassie, is Darling is expecting the wee-bairn.
Lady: "Bairn"?
Trusty: He means a baby, Miss Lady.
Lady: Oh. What's a baby?
Jock: Well, they, they resemble humans.
Trusty: But I'd say the mite smaller.
Jock: Aye, and they walk on all fours.
Trusty: And, if I remember correctly, they beller a lot.
Jock: Aye, and they're very expensive. You will not be permitted to play with.
Trusty: But they're mighty sweet.
Jock: And very, very soft.
Tramp: [barging in after seeing Lady for the first time] Just a cute little bundle...of trouble. [the three see him in shock] Yeah, they scratch, pinch, pull ears - Aw, but shucks, any dog can take that. It's what they do to your happy home. [to Trusty] Move it over, will ya, friend? Homewreckers. That's what they are.
Jock: Look here, laddie! Who are you to barge in?!
Tramp: The voice of experience, buster. Heh-heh. Boy, just wait 'til Junior gets here. You feel the urge for a nice, comfortable scratch, and... [Trusty scratches himself; imitates female voice] "Put that dog out! He'll get fleas all over the baby!" [normal voice] You start barking at some strange mutt... [barks at Jock; imitates female voice] "Stop that racket, you'll wake the baby!" [normal voice] And then - then they hit you in the room and board department. Oh, remember those nice, juicy cuts of beef? [Lady imagines the beef] Forget 'em. [the beef changes into baby food] Leftover baby food. [Lady shake the food off her face] And that nice, warm bed by the fire? [Lady rests on the bed; but the fireplace changes into the doghouse in the rain] A leaky dog house.
Lady: [finished imagining; worried] Oh, dear.
Tramp: Well, here we are.
Lady: The zoo?
Tramp: Sure! No, no. This way. Follow me.
[The zoo security guard hums an Irish folk song]
Lady: Oh!
Tramp: What's the matter, Pige?
Lady: We can't go in.
Tramp: Why not?
Lady: Well, the sign says, "No Dogs Allowed".
Tramp: Yeah, well, well, that's...That's an angle.
Lady: Angle?
Tramp: Look, we'll just wait for the right... [the professor appears reading a book] Uh-oh! Here we are now. Just lay down. [whistles at the zoo security guard, then barks]
Zoo Security Guard: Hey, you!
Professor: [closes his book] Uh, I beg your pardon? Were you addressing me?
Zoo Security Guard: What's the matter!? [shows the professor the "No Dogs Allowed" sign] Can't you read!?
Professor: Why, yes. Several languages.
Zoo Security Guard: Oh, a wise guy, eh? [Tramp growls viciously at him] All right, now... [points to Tramp with his nightstick] ...what's this creature doing here?
[Tramp barks at the zoo security guard's nightstick]
Professor: He's not my dog.
[Tramp jumps into the professor's arms]
Zoo Security Guard: Oh, he's not, eh?!
[Tramp barks at the zoo security guard]
Professor: Let go! Go away! Go on! Why, certainly not, officer.
Zoo Security Guard: Aye, and I suppose you'll be telling me next that it was the dog that was whistling, eh!?
Professor: I-I-I'm certain I don't know.
Zoo Security Guard: Oh, so, I'm a liar now, am I?! [angrily] Well, you listen to me! AHA! Resisting an officer of the law! [Tramp tears off the back of the professor's suit, in order to provoke him into getting into trouble with the zoo security guard] Oh, you're going to pay! [Tramp bites his buttocks] OW! Pull a knife on me, would you?! Trying to assassinate me, are you?! Carrying a concealed weapon! [their fight makes some nearby elephants, lions, and giraffes think they both have gone crazy, as they watch the fight from their exhibits]
Tramp: [continues barking, then to Lady] Come on, Pidge. The place is ours. [enters the zoo with Lady, as the zoo security guard and the professor continue fighting]
Tramp: We'd better go through this place from A to Z. Apes. No, no, no, no. No use even asking them. [one of the apes in their cage scratches his head at the two dogs, while the other two both look at the audience] They wouldn't understand.
Lady: They wouldn't?
Tramp: Uh-uh. Too closely related to humans. Uh-oh! Alligators. Now, there's an idea! [to an alligator about the muzzle] Say, Al? Do you suppose you could nip this contraption off for us?
Al the Alligator: Glad to oblige. [opens his mouth wide to the point where Lady's entire head can fit in it]
Tramp: Whoa, WHOA! [saves her just in time as Al nearly, and accidentally, bites Lady's head off, and the hyena laughs hysterically in his cage at both dogs] Huh! If anybody ever needed the muzzle is here.
Beaver: [off-screen] TIMBER!
Tramp: Hey, Pigeon! Look out! [the tree falls over close to the two dogs] Now, what fur-brains idiot would-? [notices a beaver chewing on the tree] Hey, look! It's a beaver! Here's the answer to our problem!
Beaver: [inspects the tree] Let me see here...6 foot 6 and 7/16 inches.
Tramp: Uh...Pardon me, friend! I wonder if you'd do us the little...
Beaver: Busy, sonny! Busy! You wanna take to gossip now. [tries to push the tree] Gotta slide this sycamore to...the swampy river.
Tramp: Yeah, well, this will only take a second of your time.
Beaver: Only the second!? L-Listen! Listen, sonny! Do you realize every second 70 centimeters of water is wasted over that spill-way?! [points to his unfinished dam]
Tramp: Yeah, but...
Beaver: You gotta get this log moving, sonny! You gotta get moving! Think the cuttin' takes the time! It's the doggone haulin'!
Tramp: [notices the leash to Lady's muzzle and the limb on the tree] The haulin'! Exactly! Now, what you need is-
Beaver: I'd better bisect this section here. [begins chewing on the log]
Tramp: What you need is this log puller! [a beaver chews loudly; screaming] I SAID A LOG PULLER!
Beaver: I ain't "deaf", sonny. There's no need to...Did you say, "log puller"!?
Tramp: And by the lucky coincidence, you see before you, modeled by the lovely little lady, the new, improved, patented, handy-dandy, never-failed, little-giant log puller! A Busy Beaver's Friend!
Beaver: You don't say!
Tramp: Guaranteed not to wear, tear, rip, or ravel! Turn around, sister, and show the customers and the merchandises. And it cuts log-hauling time 66%!
Beaver: 66%, eh!? [chuckles] Think of that! Well, how does it work?
Tramp: Why, it's no work at all. You neatly slip this ring into the limb like this... [slips the leash of Lady's muzzle into the limb of the log] and haul it off!
Beaver: Say, you mind if I slip it on for size?
Tramp: Help yourself, friend! Help yourself!
Beaver: Okay, don't mind if I do! [pulls on the rope to Lady's muzzle] How do you get the "consarned" thing off, sonny?
Tramp: Glad you brought that up, friend. Glad you brought that up. To remove it, simply place the strap between your teeth.
Beaver: Like this? [puts the strap of Lady's muzzle between his teeth]
Tramp: Correct, friend! Now bite hard! [a beaver bites the strap of the muzzle, removing it from Lady] You see?
Lady: [relieved] It's off!
Beaver: Say, that is simple!
Tramp: Well, friend, we'll be on our way now, so...
Beaver: Uh-uh-uh-uh! Not so fast now, sonny! [puts on the muzzle] I'll have to make certain it's satisfactory before we settle on a price.
Tramp: Oh, no! It's all yours, friend! You can keep it!
Beaver: Uh, I can, huh? I can!?
Lady: Uh-huh. It's the free sample.
[Tramp is astonished by this remark]
Beaver: Well, thanks a lot! Thanks ever so... [the log rolls down the hill, causing him to tumble with it; when the log hits the river, it blocks it completely, completing the dam] Say! It works swell! [water squirts out of a beaver's mouth]
Lady: But when she put that horrible muzzle on me...
Tramp: Oh, say no more. I get the whole picture. Aunts, cats, muzzles. Well, that's what comes of tying yourself down to one family.
Lady: Haven't you a family?
Tramp: One for every day of the week. The point is, none of them have me.
Lady: I'm afraid I don't understand.
Tramp: It's simple. You see...Hey! Something tells me it's supper-time. Come on. I'll show you what I mean. Now take the Schultzes here. Little Fritzie...That's me, Pige. Makes this his Monday home.
Lady: Monday home?
Tramp: [in German accent] Ach, ja! Mondays is Mama Schultz cooking der Wiener schnitzel. [normal voice] Delicious! [in Irish accent] Now, O'Briens here is where little Mike...Sure and that's me again, Pige. Comes of a Tuesday.
Lady: "Of a Tuesday"?
Tramp: [still in Irish accent] Begorra and that's when they're after havin' that darlin' corn beef. [normal voice] You see, Pige, when you're footloose and collar-free...ah, you take nothing but the best.
Tony: [to Lady and Tramp in an Italian accent] Now-a, first-a we fix-a the table-a.
Joe: Here are-a your bones-a, Tony! [comes with a plate of bones]
Tony: Okay-a. Bones. [look in confusion then hits the plate of bones in the air] BONES-A!? What's-a the matter-a for-a you-a, Joe?! I [rolls an R] break-a your face-a! Tonight-a, Butch-a, he's-a get-a the best-a in-a the house-a!
Joe: Okay, Tony. You the boss-a. [goes into the kitchen to cook Lady and Tramp something fancy]
[After Lady was brought home from the pound, chained to the doghouse; Tramp is trying to apologize]
Tramp: Aw, come on, Pige. It wasn't my fault. [Lady turns her back] I thought you were right behind me. Honest. When I heard they'd taken you to the pound...
Lady: [in tears] Oh, don't even mention that horrible place. I was so embarrassed and... and frightened.
Tramp: Oh, now, now. Who could ever harm a cute little trick like you?
Lady: [then becomes angry] Trick? Trick! That reminds me, who is Trixie?
Tramp: Trixie?
Lady: And Lulu and Fifi and Rosita Chiquita wh... Whatever her name is.
Tramp: Oh! Yes! Well, I... I... I can explain.
Lady: As far as I'm concerned, you needn't worry about your old heel.
Tramp: My... my... I...
Lady: I don't need you to shelter and protect me.
Tramp: Yes, but... but...
Lady: If you grow careless, don't blame me. And I don't care if the Cossacks do pick you up! Goodbye! [turns her back and walks back to the doghouse, kicks the bone back to Tramp] And take this with you!
[Lady starts sobbing quietly in the doghouse, Tramp sadly leaves with one look at the doghouse. Lady looks back with her shocked face and lays her head down in sadness.]
Aunt Sarah: [from outside] Thank goodness I got there in time. There they were, crib overturned...
Jim Dear: [from outside]Oh, I'm sure there must be some mistake. I know Lady wouldn't- [opens the basement door]
[Lady breaks out of the basement and barks to them]
Aunt Sarah: Watch out! That dog's loose! Keep her away!
Jim Dear: Nonsense! She's trying to tell us something. What is it, old girl? [Lady leads them upstairs to the baby's room; she shows the dead rat behind the window curtain] What are you trying...? [sees the dead rat] Darling, Aunt Sarah, come here!
Darling: What is it, Jim?
Aunt Sarah: [freaking out] AHHH!!! A RAT!!!
[Outside, Jock and Trusty hear]
Trusty: [realizing] A rat? We should've known.
Jock: [regrets himself] I misjudged him...badly.
Trusty: [runs off] Come on. We got to stop that wagon.
Jock: [runs after trusty] But man, we don't know which way they've gone.
Trusty: We'll track 'em down.
Jock: A-A-A-And Then?!
Trusty: We'll hold 'em. Hold 'em at bay!
[Last lines]
Trusty: [to Lady and Tramp's puppies] As my grand pappy, Ol' Reliable, used to say...I don't recollect if I've ever mentioned Old Reliable before.
Annette, Collette, and Danielle: [in unison] No, you haven't, Uncle Trusty.
Trusty: Huh? I haven't? Well, uh, as Old Reliable used to say...He'd say, uh, uh...He'd say, uh, uh...hmm. Doggone. [chuckles] You know, I clean forgot what it was he used to say.
