Grand Duke:
If I kill my nephew, would it be murder or charity?
[repeated line]
Hunch:
Uncle Dukey!
Hunch:
No more kitty, Sir! Mission
[snickers]
Hunch:
Accomplished!
Grand Duke:
Ooh, yes, ah-heh-heh... how did you do it?
Hunch:
Adequately.
Grand Duke:
Yes, yes, eh, I don't follow.
Hunch:
They were sucked down an Adequate Pipe.
Grand Duke:
[scowling] You're sure?
Hunch:
That's what it said. "Danger: Adequate Pipe."
Grand Duke:
[with forced calm] Hunch... come to "Uncle Dukey".
Grand Duke:
[turns Hunch into a chicken-type thing] YOU IMBECILE! That's not an "Adequate Pipe." It's an AQUEDUCT PIPE! It leads straight to the city!

Patou:
Once upon a time, back before I knew how to tie my shoes, the sun came up. Now, I know an everyday sunrise may not seem like such a big deal to some folks. But, imagine for a moment: if instead of rising up like this one morning where you lived, she took a look around and decided to go back to sleep. It happened once to us. Let me tell you all about it.
Stage Direction:
[the Grand Duke arrives in Edmond's live-action bedroom]
Edmond:
Chanticleer?
Grand Duke:
No. It's not Chanticleer.
Edmond:
Who-who are you?
Grand Duke:
You put your finger in the Duke's face, remember? These are expensive, little brat.
Stage Direction:
[the Duke throws his broken monocle on the floor]
Grand Duke:
But that is not why the Duke is going to eat you.
Edmond:
Eat me?
Grand Duke:
Oh, dear. Now I've gone and spoil the surprise. Always doing that. But you see, we creatures of the night have worked very hard to make absolutely sure that that bird does not return. And you. You with no regard for the feelings of others have the nerve to call him back here by name. And besides, I positively loathe rock 'n' roll.
Stage Direction:
[the Grand Duke laughs]
Edmond:
You're not gonna eat me.
Stage Direction:
[Patou narrates]
Patou:
And that's when the Duke hit the ceiling.
Stage Direction:
[the Duke literally hits the ceiling]
Stage Direction:
[Patou narrates]
Patou:
If Edmond wanted to bring Chanticleer back to raise the sun, the Duke was going to have something to say about it.
Grand Duke:
Kittens are more digestible.
Stage Direction:
[Patou narrates]
Patou:
Young Edmund was about to have the most amazing adventure he'd ever dreamed of.
Stage Direction:
[the Duke tranforms Edmond into an animated kitten and his live-action bedroom into a cartoon bedroom]

Patou:
Chanticleer, you've gotta crow, and you gotta crow now!
Edmond:
Ahem. Excuse me, ma'am.
Goldie:
[startled] Aah! Oh, who are you?
Edmond:
[starting to sneeze] Ma'am, I... I... Ah-choo!
Goldie:
Oh, my goodness!
Edmond:
Ah-choo! Ah-choo!
Goldie:
Oh, you poor thing.
[hands him a tissue]
Goldie:
Now, what are you doing in my dressing room?
Edmond:
Please, ma'am! You're the only one who can help us! We have to talk to Chanticleer... I mean the King.
[Goldie gasps]
Edmond:
If he doesn't come home and crow...
Goldie:
Wait a minute, wait a minute! You're the bad little kitty Pinky told me about!
Edmond:
Bad? Me? I'm not bad.
Goldie:
[picks up a sundae cup] You go away or I'll scream! Aah! Aah!
Hunch:
[the Swedish "Uncle Dukey!"] Onkel Nattis!
