Duchess: But, Thomas, Madame will be so worried. Are you sure we can't go home tonight.

Duchess: Now, now, darlings. Cheer up. Mr. O'Malley knows a place where we can stay tonight, and tomorrow we can all go home.

Toulouse: Good idea, mama. Hey, Mr. O'Malley, how much farther is it?

O'Malley: [ Chuckles ] Keep your whiskers up, Toulouse Ol'Tiger. It's just beyond that next chimney pot. Well, there it is. My own penthouse pad. It's not exactly the Ritz, but it's peaceful and quiet.

O'Malley: Oh! Oh, no. Sounds like Scat Cat and his gang have dropped by.

Duchess: Oh. Are those friends of yours?

O'Malley: Uh-huh, yeah. They're old buddies and they're real swingers.

Duchess: "Shwingers?" What is a it?

O'Malley: "Swingers." You know. Uh, not exactly your type, Duchess. [offscreen] Maybe we'd better find another place, huh? Come on.

Duchess: Oh, no, no, no. I would like to see your pad, and meet your friend Scat Cat.

O'Malley: Well, okay, then.
