Andy (Cat 2): (While watching Anchors Aweigh) You bet, Jack!
Bill (Cat 3): (While watching Anchors Aweigh) This is great!
Jerry: (While watching Anchors Aweigh unnoticed by the cats) Hey, that's me with Tom! (The cats notice Jerry) Hey, guys, what's up? (The cats angrily look at Jerry)
Jerry: (nervous) hehe, don't you wanna see me dance with Gene Kelly?
Jack: (explosion noise)!
Andy: (alarm clock ringing)!
Bill: (car horn honk)!
(Jerry goes the direction where the cats are pointing and then finds a kazoo and plays it impressing the cats)

Tom: Nice Kazoo. (Tom grabs the kazoo out of Jerry's paws)
Jerry: Tom! Give me that! (Jerry tries to get it but Tom keeps pulling the kazoo away from Jerry's jumps) Tom! Aha! (Jerry inhales) (car horn honk)!
Tom: (screams) (He falls to the floor and drops the kazoo and Jerry looks at Tom in shock) Shame on you, Jerry! (Tom gets up and angrily looks at Jerry) Using a word that is sick and inhumane to the society! If I hear you say that again, you're gonna have soap put in your mouth! besides, i fell on the floor, i injured myself! you're lucky i'm not in the hospital right now! (The phone starts ringing, Tom picks it up and Jerry walks out) Hello? (phone chatter) Oh,Hi, Toodles! (phone chatter) No, I'm not really fine. I injured myself, and that Jerry just learned a new word and he said it to me. (phone chatter) Well, he said (whispering into the phone) (Tex Avery Scream). (phone chatter) Of course, he said it! (phone chatter) I don't know where he learned it, but one thing I know for sure that it's a bad word.
Tom: But i know my friend's Mother-in-law says "bad words", and it ain't brotherly!
Jerry: (without Tom hearing again) (explosion noise x2) I don't know why Tom would react to my new word like that but it seems pretty funny.
(Nibbles is eating some cheese, Jerry walks up)
Nibbles: Hey, Uncle Jerry! Did you find something new?
Jerry: Oh, yes, I did! (breathes in some air) (dolphin chirp)!
(Nibbles becomes shocked; he drops his piece of cheese to the floor)
Nibbles: Uncle Jerry, did you just say a rude word to me? (gasps) (Nibbles becomes sad) Oh, my uncle doesn't love me anymore! How could you say that to your own nephew! (runs off crying)
Jerry: (notices Nibbles' cheese on the floor, picks it up and walks away) Sheesh. (takes a bite out of the cheese he is holding) What's wrong with him? (takes another bite from the cheese) He does not have a sense of humor. But I guess it's still funny.
(In the alley, Butch and Pals are playing Go Fish, Jerry walks by)
Jerry: Hey, Butch, Meathead, Topsy, Lightning.
Butch and Pals: Hello, Jerry!
Jerry: (snickers) (car horn honk)! (Butch and Pals drop their cards on the ground, scream and run into the trash cans) That gets funnier every time someone reacts like that! (laughs)
