# Oh, my darling #

Who?

It's Tiger, your darling.

Don't you recognize me?

- Who?

- It's me, Tiger.

Your darling baby

buppie-bunga-boo.

Hey, you're not

my darling.

I just kissed

an owl.

[Fievel Echoing]

Tiger!

- Fievel?

- Tiger!

Fievel, I've been

searching all over for you.

Tiger, is that you?

[Tiger Echoing] Fievel.

Nope, bet it's

another mirage.

Fievel, I can't

tell you how much...

I wish you weren't

a mirage.

Hi, mirage of Tiger.

Hi, mirage of Fievel.

Don't they ever

dust this place?

A guy could make

a fortune selling...

vacuum cleaners.

Dancing buffalo bones.

Naw.

[War Cries]

[Chanting]

Come on, fellows.

I'm a mangy, old cat.

I don't taste good

without ketchup.

Ummm. No. No, ma'am.

I'm not your color.

Could we have an espresso

and talk this over, please?

How...

do you do?

[Speaking In

Mousehican Dialect]

Huh?

Ah.

Hee-hee-hee.

[Gasping]

[Screeching]

[Groaning]

[Hawk Screeching]

Mama!

[Echoing]

Papa!

[Chanting]

[Laughing]

They think I'm their Tiger god.

How lucky

can you get?

I mean, how did they

know I was a vegetarian?

Mm-mm-mm.

[Burping]

It's funny how your appetite

perks up when you find out...

that you're gonna eat dinner

instead of be dinner.

Innkeeper,

more wine.

[War Cries]

[Mousehican Dialect]

Shhh!

[Fievel] I said put me down,

you ugly furball.

I won't stand for this.

Put me down.

[Clucking]

Uh-oh.

Help!

Water!

Oh, no, I'm in a mouth.

[Screams]

[Coughing,

Gulping]

A little endive

went down the wrong tube.

I hope he doesn't

throw up.

- Get me out of here!

- Who said that?

[Fievel] Me.

Me, he says.

- Say "ah."

- Ah.

- Tiger!

- Fievel!

I thought I'd never see you.

We waited for you at the station.

Believe me,

I tried to get there,

but I was dogged

every step of the way.

Oh, Tiger,

you're my best friend.

C'mon on, let's go

to Green River.

There's something

I forgot to mention.

The only reason I'm not

a moccasin right now...

is because they think

I'm a god.

This conversation is making

me look very ungodlike.

Tiger, listen.

I have to warn my family.

The cats are gonna turn

them into mouse... shh!

These folks get offended

if you eat and run.

I'll join you as soon as I can.

You promise?

I promise.

Cross my heart and hope to cry.

Oh, Tiger.

I almost forgot.

How do you get to Green River?

Grab a passing sagecoach.

See you later.

Adios.

Sagecoach, get it?

Sage.

Oh, never mind.

Excuse me,

Mr. Dog.

I was wondering if you

could give me some help.

[Sputtering]

Oh, another tumbleweed

asking me for help.

Oh, no, not again.

[Snoring]

Not again.

[Burping]

[Cuckoo Clock]

Mama! Papa! Tanya!

Our Fievel,

he's alive.

Fievel, my baby.

He's come back to us.

Mousekewitz, don't let go!

Oh, Fievel.

What happened to you?

I got lost in this desert.

This giant hawk picked me up

and dropped me...

right on the Mousehican village

where Tiger is a god.

Papa,

I have to warn you.

The cats, they're gonna

build this giant mousetrap.

They're gonna turn us

into mouseburgers!

A giant mousetrap

and Tiger is a god?

Fievel's been out in the sun too long.

Mousekewitz!

But Tiger is a god and they

are building a giant mousetrap.

Fievel, the only thing

that has grown...

faster than you

are your tall tales.

You will see that out West

cats are good.

- [Gasping]

- [Cheering]

- Huh?

- [Muttering]

[Muttering]

So, what's

your problem?

Being nice to these mice.

It's driving me nuts!

Get on with it,

you morons!

After the saloon

is finished tomorrow,

we announce that we are going

to have a special ceremony.

We invite all

of the mice...

"und" seat them

in the stands.

"Und" when the sun goes down...

[Cat R. Waul] Snappo!

- Mouseburgers.

- Mouseburgers!

Let me hear that again.

Mouseburgers!

Let the saliva flow!

Mouseburgers!

[Female]

#La la-la- la-la #

# La la-la-la-la #

# La, la, la, la #

Next.

[Yelling]

Terrible, terrible.

Truly, utterly appalling.

I must have a voice to match

the opulence of this saloon.

Ooh!

P*ssy, p*ssy,

p*ssy, p*ssy.

P*ssy, p*ssy,

oh, p*ssy.

Humans, yech!

So shiny and bleah!

Right, I want

the subversive...

who attempted to

assassinate me found.

I love finding subversives.

[Spitting]

What's a subversive?

Someone who doesn't have long to live.

# [Music]

If it isn't my friend

from the train.

I heard what you said about mouseburgers.

I'm gonna tell everyone.

I'm gonna get Wylie Burp

'cause he's the law. Wylie Burp?

[Laughing]

That quaint

historical figure.

Put simply,

I am the law here.

You're a mere

hors d'oeuvre.

[Tanya]

#Dreams to dream #

#In the dark of the night #

It's dinnertime.

# When the world goes wrong #

What's wrong with the boss?

#I can still make it right #

#I can see so far #

#In my dreams #

#I'll follow my dreams #

# Until they come true #

# Come with me #

#You will see

what I mean #

#There's a world inside #

# No one else ever sees #

#You will go #

# So far in my dreams #

# Somewhere in my dreams #

#Your dreams

will come true #

#There is a star #

#Waiting to guide us #

# Shining inside us #

#When we close our eyes #

# Don't let go #

# If you stay close

to me #

# In my dreams tonight #

#You will see

what I see #

# Dreams to dream #

#As near as can be #

# Inside you #

#And me #

Well, well, well.

#They always #

Look what the cat dragged in.

# Come true #

A mouse, that's a first.

Not just any mouse.

This is a diva.

Diva, schmever.

Put a mouse on the stage...

and your saloon's gonna be

as empty as Death Valley...

on a cold day in June

when the snow don't fall.

What?

They'll love her, adore her.

Those who don't

will answer to me.

Anything you say,

pussypoos.

I have mentioned I dislike being

referred to as pussypoos.

Yeah? I'm not so happy

about being dumped...

in nature's ashtray 500 miles

from a pastrami sandwich.

Pussypoos.

I just mentioned, didn't I,

that I dislike being

referred to as pussypoos.

As for the mousette, I'll

get her on the stage for ya.

See that you do.

Farewell, my diva.

- Now then...

- [Gasping]

Don't worry, mousey.

You're safe now.

So you're really not tough

and mean like you were acting?

Who, me?

Naw.

I'm soft as this powder puff

and twice as gentle.

But living out here around

characters like that...

What's your name,

honey?

Tanya.

Tanya Mousekewitz.

And you want to be

a great singer.

Oh, yes, yes,

yes, yes, yes.

What's the matter?

You're shaking like a rattlesnake tail.

I'm scared. I've never sang

in front of a real audience.

[Crash,

Laughing]

Sweetie, you wouldn't
