Dodger[edit]

  • [to Oliver when they first meet] Hey, I don't eat cats, too much fur!
  • Absitively posolutely!
  • Consider this a free lesson in street savoir faire from New York's coolest quadruped. Check ya later!
  • If ya want 'em, come an' get 'em! Uh-huh. But I'm warnin' ya, kid. [Sings:] One minute, Ah'm in Central Park;/Then I'm down on Delancy Street./From the Bowery to St. Mark's,/There's a syncopated beat.
  • [Sings:] Why should I worry? Tell me: why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoir-faire.
  • [Sings:] The rhythm of the city: once you get it down, then you can own this town; then you can wear the cra-ow-ow-own! Why should I worry? Tell me: why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoir-faire.

Tito[edit]

  • [sniffs a cigar] Hey, man, if this is torture, chain me to the wall!
  • Hey, man, you're ugly! And you're uglier than him! And you're Ugly, Part Three! Hey, you're Revenge of the Ugly!
  • [seeing Oliver revealed] Mi madre, un gato!

Rita[edit]

  • We gotta clean you up, child, and get you some on-the-job trainin'.
  • Run along, Roscoe. Your master's calling.
  • [Sings] Now listen up: you've got a lot to learn/and if you don't learn, you don't eat./But if you're tough, an' always use yo' head,/you'll feel right at home on the street./When you've got talent, everything is free./Watch how we do things: Ooh, I'll guarantee/You're gonna see, how;–– the best survive;/We make an art, out;–– of stayin' alive/If you do just as you're told,/these are streets of gold!.
  • [Sings] Ev'ry bouleva'd, is: a Miracle Mile/We take the town, and, we take it with style!/If you play it brave an' bold,/these are streets of gold!.
  • Excuse me, uh, sister. Who's Rex?
  • If I never see that skinny little shrimp again, it will be too soon.

Francis[edit]

  • My name is Francis. Fran-cis. Not Frank. Not Frankie. Francis.

Georgette[edit]

  • 56 blue ribbons. 14 regional trophies. 6-time national champion!
  • Well, it may be Jenny's house, but everything from the doorknobs down is MINE!!
  • I love you, Oliver. Play with Georgette.
  • None of your business! And you, "Toughey": off the bed!
  • Oh. I broke a nail.
  • That's it! We'll start with a bath.

Fagin[edit]

  • [seeing his dogs fight] All right, all right, knock it off! ENOUGH! What is the matter with you guys? [dogs stops and looked at him] Don't you understand? Sykes will be here any minute, and I don't have... [dogs joyfully running to their master] No, no, no, no!
  • I don't wanna put any undue pressure on you, but as you march off to do your duty, I want you to keep one thing in mind: Dead men do not buy dog food! So big smiles, and get out there, and FETCH!

Sykes[edit]

  • I don't wantcher… ga'bage, Fagin! I don't think you grasp… the severity. I lent you money, an' I don't see it. D'you know what happens when I don't see my money, Fagin? People like you, get hurt. Do I make myself clear?!
  • Three sunrises. Three sunsets. Three days, Fagin.

Roscoe[edit]

  • I haven't lost my sense of humor! [kicks Fagin's TV set, destroying it] See? I find that funny. [chuckles]
  • What's the occasion? Come to rescue your little friend?

DeSoto[edit]

  • Say goodbye, Francis.

Dialogue[edit]

Rita: Well, what is it? [Francis gives an "I don't know" gesture]

Rita: Cool it, guys, it's just a cat.
Tito: Mi madre, un gato!
Francis: Felis domesticus!
Rita: Now how did you find this place, cat?
