Toots
[edit]- Boy, are you corny! You act like a square at the fair, a goon from Saskatoon. You come on like a broken arm. You're a sad apple, a long hair, a cornhusker. In other words, you don't send me. So bail out, brother. Get lost. And here's your rat, cat."
Dialogue
[edit]- Tom: [imitating Charles Boyer] Ah, I love you. When I'm with you, I am what you call, uh, a hip cat. I am hip to the jive. I'm in the groove, darling.
- Toots: Now you're REALLY sendin' me, Jackson. [Tom winks at the audience]
- Tom: Now, you set my soul on fire. It is not just a little, uh, spark. It is a flame; a big roaring flame. Ah, I can feel it now. It is burning... burning... BURNING-- [Tom starts noticing smoke] Say, [to the audience, in a Groucho Marx voice] something is burning around here!
- [Tom then realizes what is burning and leaps about screaming. He sees his burned foot]
