[Edgar is listening in on Madame discussing her will]
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : As you know, I have no living relatives, and I want my cats to be well taken care of. And who can do that better than my faithful servant, Edgar?
Georges Hautecourt : Edgar? Adelaide, you mean you're giving your vast fortune to Edgar?All your stocks and bonds, this-this mansion, your country chateau, your jewels and gems...?
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : No, no, no, George. To my cats.
Georges Hautecourt : To your cats?
Edgar : [gasping] Cats?
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Yes. I just wish for the cats to inherit first. Then at the end of their life span, the entire estate reverts to Edgar.
Edgar : Cats inherit first, and I come after the cats! After I... oh. It's not fair!
[Stands up, hits head on intercom]
Edgar : Ooh! I mean, each cat will live about twelve years, I can't wait... and each cat has nine lives! That's four times twelve, times nine... No, it's less than that. Anyway, that's more than I'll ever live. I'll be gone! No, oh, no. They'll be gone. I'll think of a way. After all, there are millions of reasons why I should. All of them dollars. Millions. Those cats have got to go!

Georges Hautecourt : Come on, Edgar. Last one upstairs is a nincompoop.
Edgar : Could we take the elevator this time, sir?
Georges Hautecourt : That birdcage? Poppycock! Elevators are for old people. Whoops!
[Hautecourt almost falls back, Edgar catches him]
Edgar : May I give you a hand, sir?
Georges Hautecourt : You wouldn't have an extra foot, would you, Edgar?

Edgar : [his last words] You're going to Timbuktu if it's the last thing I do.

Edgar : [singing while spiking the cats' milk with sleeping pills] Rock-a-bye kitties, bye-bye you go. La-la-la-la, and I'm in the dough!

[first lines]
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Marie, my little one, you're going to be as beautiful as your mother. Isn't she, Duchess?
[as Duchess meows and hugs her and offscreen Toulouse climbs on Edgar's hat]
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Careful, Toulouse! Oh Ho Ho! You're making it very difficult for Edgar. Ha ha!
Butler : Whoa, Frou-Frou, whoa. Steady, girl.
[he hops out of his wagon and holds her hand]
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Thank you, Edgar.
[she neighs and looks at her]
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Oh. Of course, Frou-Frou, I almost forgot.
[she give her carrots and ate it]
Butler : Madame, uh... May I take your parcel, Madame? It really is much too heavy for you, Madame.
Madame Adelaide Bonfamille : Now, tut-tut, Edgar. Don't fuss over me.

Frou-Frou : Oh, Roquefort, I've been so worried about you. Did you have any luck at all?
Roquefort the Mouse : Not a sign of them, Frou-Frou, and I've searched all night.
Frou-Frou : I know. And poor Madame didn't sleep a wink either.
Roquefort the Mouse : Oh, it's a sad day for all of us.
[they heard a hum and looks at Edgar holding a bucket]
Edgar : Morning, Frou-Frou, my pretty steed.
Edgar : [whispers to her ear] Can you keep a secret? Hmm?
Edgar : Of course you can.
[chuckles]
Edgar : I've some news straight from the horse's mouth, if you'll pardon the expression, of course.
[holds the newspaper to her]
Edgar : Look, Frou-Frou. I've made the headlines. " Mysterious Cat-napper Abducts Family of Cats."
Edgar : [chuckles] Aren't you proud of me?
Roquefort the Mouse : [whispers to Frou-Frou's ear] So... he's the cat-napper!
Edgar : The police say it was a professional, masterful job. The work of a genius. Not bad, eh, Frou-Frou old girl?
[slaps at frou-Frou and lets out a loud whinny]
Edgar : h, they won't find a clue to implicate me. Not one single clue at all. Why, I'll, I'll eat my hat if they...
Edgar : [shocked] My hat! My umbrella! Oh! Oh, gracious! I've got to get those things back tonight.
[walks away and leaving them behind and Roquefort was spitting some corn]
Roquefort the Mouse : Why that... sneaky, crooked... , no good... butler!
