Narrator[edit]

  • The sun did not shine, it was too wet to play.
    Just sit in a house all that cold, cold, wet day.

Dialogue[edit]

Mr. Krinklebine the Fish: Out of this house! I'm warning you, get!
Cat in the Hat: Who's that? I believe that we haven't yet met.
Mr. Krinklebine the Fish: The name is Krinklebine. Carlos K. Krinklebine.
Cat in the Hat: Ooh.
Mr. Krinklebine the Fish: Now please go away. Tell that top-hatted cat he should not be about. He should not be here when your mother is out!
Cat in the Hat: My dear, Mr. Krinklebein. My tricks are quite safe. I invite you to join in the fun, if you wish, in a game that I call... Up, Up, Up, With a Fish!
Mr. Krinklebine the Fish: [about the Cat In the Hat] Now, let me repeat, and I don't like to shout, but he should not be here when your mother is out!
Cat in the Hat: It's up to you kids, whatever you say. If you think me untrustworthy, send me away.
Sally: Well, he is getting the house sort of messy and dirty, and Mother...
Boy: Yeah, Mother; back home at 3:30.
Cat in the Hat: A vote of no confidence. I most humbly bow to the voice of the majority. Good bye, now. Off to Siberia. Somebody stole my moss-covered, three-handled family gredunza! Nobody's gonna leave this room until I find it!
Boy: Pardon me, sir. You lost a moss-covered, what?
Cat in the Hat: ...three-handled family gredunza! So, that's your attitude, eh, Krinklestein? Did you steal it?
