Mewsette Quotes in Gay Purr-ee (1962)

Jeanette: [to her sister] But darling, think of Paris! Lovely, gay Paris! Have you forgotten the sidewalk cafés and how we sipped champagne?

Mewsette: Champagne? That must be what they call catnip in Paris. How nice!

Jeanette: ...the button champignons sautéed in butter with tiny shreds of herbs...

Mewsette: I know what they are - mushrooms! And delicious, too!

Jeanette: And oh, my dear, the Champs-Elysées!

Mewsette: Champs-Elysées? I wonder what they taste like.

Meowrice: [Showing Mewsette a picture] His name is Henry Pfft of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania U.S.A.

Mewsette: [Looks at the picture with disgust] You mean you want me to marry this... this fat old...

Meowrice: [Interrupting her] You are as bright as you are pretty my dear, so please get into the basket like a good little bride to be.

[His henchcats show her the basket]

Mewsette: [Frightened] Who are they?

Meowrice: They are my business associates Cheri, just get into the basket and you won't have to look at them anymore.

Mewsette: In the basket? No, oh no!

Meowrice: [Mocking her] Yes, oh yes!, you are going to Pittsburgh to marry that rich American, isn't that what you wanted? Isn't that why you left the farm?

Mewsette: Yes, I mean no

[Crying]

Mewsette: I just, I just want Juane Tom.

[Continues crying]

Meowrice: Juane Tom? The world's greatest mouser?

[laughs]

Meowrice: Juane Tom is probably in Alaska about now

Mewsette: He is not, you're lying, just like you did about everything else!

Meowrice: [Coming towards her] Call it a weakness, now get into the basket!

Mewsette: No I won't, I'm not going to marry anybody!

[Runs away]
