Dialogue

Tweety: [singing] I work with the putty, his home is so warm, and if I don't hurt him, he'll do me no harm...

[Thomas suddenly appears inside the cage. Tweety cries for help, whips out a horn, some cymbals and a drum, and makes as much noise as possible, to no avail. Thomas grins smugly, but his smile soon drops when he notices Tweety with a needle, ready to poke him]

Thomas: [shooting into the air in pain] YOWCH!

Tweety: HELP, HELP! [he begins making a lot of noise as Thomas alternates between faking sleeping and trying to quiet Tweety down] Help! The putty tat, the putty tat! Help! Help! HELP! [chirps again and bangs on the drum] The puddy tat! HELP!!! [blows on the horn]

Thomas' owner: Thomas, you coward! You brute! Take that! [Hits him with her broom] And that! [Hits him again] And that! [Hits him again before opening the door and tossing him outside for the night] And THAT!
