Kayla

• [holding Jerry's tiny card] Oh, wow. This is so detailed.
• We could hire an exterminator, or we can leverage millions of years of predatory evolution.
• That Rodentia is toast.
• I think I might have just pulled this off.
• That's a wanted dead or alive, and your stick figure of a mouse, and your Es are backwards. It's never gonna work.
• You guys gotta stop fighting. It's like you've been doing this for years.
• Stay calm, everyone.

Terrence

• This hotel has been host to 4 presidents, 3 popes, 2 kings, and 1 queen.
• If a picture of this mouse is tweeted out to InstaBookFace or Ticky Tok, we will be ruined.
• This is insane.
• That's probably a scream of delight.

Mr. DuBros

• Could he wear a jaunty hat? That would be adorable.
• Tom is an employee! He has a name tag!
• Well, this is a disaster.

Dialogue

Butch: Well, well, well. Look at what we got here. [grabs Tom by the neck] You know, if I wasn't a betting cat, I'd say Tommy boy here is trying to break into the hotel.

Lightning: That's sure what it looks like.

Topsy: This here is our alley, punk! Which makes this our hotel!

Butch: Wait, hold up. Are you trying to break into our hotel? [Tom shakes his head] Yo, guys, don't worry about it. It was a big misunderstanding. Right, Tom? [Tom laughs] Are you laughing at me? Now, I'm sure you know what I do to cats that laugh at me.

Topsy: Come on, boss! Preach! Preach to him!

Butch: Now, I was about to, if you would shut that grill and let me handle this.

[Tom sees an animal control truck driving by.]

Topsy: My bad, boss.

Butch: So, are you gonna answer me?

[Tom whistles to catch the animal control officer's attention as Butch turns to see the animal control truck backing up.]

Meathead: Oh, snap! It's five-o! Drop and run!

Lightning: Oh, no, not again!

[Butch turns back to find that there's a mop in Tom's stead and he and the alley cats make a run for it.]

Topsy: Somebody pick me up, I can't run that fast!

Butch: Hey, I'll see you again, Tom!

Lightning: Break yourself!

Animal Control Officer: [as he's chasing the alley cats] Hey, get back here!

Spike: This is definitely your bad.
