51	-->'''Benny:''' You got ''plenty'' of lip.
52	-->[Cue laughter from Choo Choo.]

75	--> '''Random passerby:''' How hungry can you get?

82	* [[PunctuatedForEmphasis The whole. Damn. Episode.]] It's just one priceless moment after another (considering it's about Top Cat tricking Dibble into letting him and his gang stay in Dibble's house for the winter, how could it be anything else?).

84	--> '''Choo Choo:''' Where are we going, TC?
85	--> '''Top Cat:''' [[DeadpanSnarker We're going to a place]] [[StealthInsult you never heard of]]: the public library.
86
87	--> '''Top Cat:''' I feel it is my duty [[BlatantLies as a law-abiding citizen]] to perform a citizen's arrest on these scoundrels. ''[gestures to his gang]'' Of course, I will also turn myself in as an accomplice.
88	--> '''Dibble:''' Ringleader is more like it!
89
90	--> '''Dibble:''' Okay, you're all under arrest! ...But it's against my better judgement. ''[a few moments later]'' And I was so sure [Top Cat]'d put up a great battle!
91
92	--> '''Top Cat:''' Sweet dreams, Officer Dibble.
93	--> '''Dibble:''' And a couple of nightmares to you, too! [[note]] Becomes even funnier in the Mexican dub, as he tells [[DubNameChange Don Gato]] that he hopes his dreams are filled with ravenous dogs.[[/note]]
94
95	--> '''Benny:''' Can you get me a drink of water?
96	--> '''Dibble:''' ''[half-asleep]'' Huh, what? Oh, sure... WATER? What do you think this is, Buckingham Palace!?
97	--> [...]
98	--> '''Dibble:''' Next thing you know I'll be tucking 'em in! Readin' bedtime stories, the whole spiel!

100	--> '''Dibble:''' Why, of all the nerve! ''He's'' trying to sleep!
101	* Top Cat can't sleep because of Dibble's snoring, so he tells Choo-Choo and Brain to put Dibble in the closet. He continues snoring, so then they put him ''out on the fire escape''. And he sleeps through the whole thing! Then, the next morning...
102	--> '''Top Cat:''' [[ItMakesSenseInContext There must be eight hundred icicles out there; which one is Dibble?]]
103	--> ''[Dibble throws the door open]''
104	--> '''Top Cat:''' [...] What's for breakfast? A steak? Benny could make the dumplings.
105	--> '''Dibble:''' I'll make a dumpling out of you!
106	* Dibble takes the gang out to dinner.
107	--> '''Top Cat:''' Why aren't you eating, Officer? And such an expensive restaurant!
108	--> '''Dibble:''' You should know; you picked it.
109	* "Do me a favour, Brain, and don't tell anyone I know you!"
110	* Poor Officer Dibble. He just can't get rid of T.C.
111	--> '''Dibble:''' Well, I've got two choices. I can apologise to T.C. and bring him back so the Chief can get his publicity, or I can [[DrivenToSuicide commit suicide]]. But suicide is a felony; [[ComicallyMissingThePoint and I could lose my job]].

114	[[folder: Episode 16: The Case of the Absent Anteater]]
115

127	--> '''Top Cat:''' Being hungry is just a state of mind.
128	--> '''Benny:''' No, it isn't; it's a state of my stomach. It's empty.
129	--> [...]
130	--> '''Top Cat:''' We tried not eating, and it didn't work, so now let's try positive thinking.

152	* Later, the gang open another fire hydrant while Dibble sits nearby, relaxing (ItMakesSenseInContext). At the same time, the Sergeant and Officer Prowler are on their way to find Dibble, and the Sergeant is describing Dibble as a strict policeman.

168	* T.C. takes the gang to the ballgame (which is where he gets injured). Then we see that he's turned them into a human -- er, cat -- ladder, so he's looking over the fence and telling them what's happening.
169	--> '''Choo Choo:''' I've heard of supporting your team, but this is ridiculous!
170	* When Dibble discovers that T.C. isn't really dying, and he furiously confronts him at the "going away party" he had been tricked into financing.

189	* When Top Cat first catches Choo Choo about to throw himself in a lake via a rock he's tied to himself, T.C. demands he "Drop that rock, birdbrain!" So Choo Choo does... right on T.C.'s foot.
190	-->'''Choo Choo:''' Sorry, T.C., I wasn't looking. ''[Moves rock]'' There. Does that feel better?
191	-->'''Top Cat:''' "Does that feel better?" Oh boy. No, you nitwit, [[SarcasmMode I like rocks resting on my big toe.]] Another stupid question like that and you won't hafta jump, ''I'll throw you in''!
