(male #1) 'Voila! The world's first Manx mouse. No tail!'

This is one small step for science

and one giant leap for tailless rodents.

[audience murmurs]

Fellow scientists, ladies and gentlemen of the press

it gives me great pleasure to present to you..

[gasps] It's gone!

Someone stole the Manx Mouse.

What will we do? Where can we turn?

Is there no one who can help us?

(Sylvester) This twisted tale of tails and no tails

brought us to the Isle of Man, home of the Manx Cat

the only cat born without a tail.

Thank you, Granny, for coming to the Isle of Man.

This is a tragedy. Years of research gone!

You must help us find the lost Manx Mouse.

[sobs]

I am just appalled that someone would steal

such a cute little creature.

Yeah, I'm appalled too.

Unh, appalled I didn't get to the little rodent first.

Ah, the heck with mice.

What I need is a bird.

[growls]

Ahh.

[gasps]

[groans]

thud

I'll just sit here all innocent-wike

and hope dat bad old puddy won't find me.

Aha!

whoosh

Whoops. Puddy miscalcuwated.

thud

[groans]

[screams]

thud

[groans]

Uhh..

Hmm? Hmm?

[gasps]

(all) Welcome, brother.

B-b-b-brother?

Where am I?

We are the sacred tailless order of Manx cats.

Brother felines are always welcome

to attend our meetings.

How do you come to us, brother?

Well, I was chasing this darn canary

when I fell down a hole.

I'd give anything to catch that bird.

Perhaps we can help you in your noble quest.

You will? You will.. Really? That's great!

Anything for a brother.

All you need do is join our order.

No problem. Where do I sign?

[chuckles] There is nothing to sign.

All you have to do to join the Manx Brotherhood

is lose your tail.

Oh-h, lose my tail.. Lose my tail?!

Manx, but no Manx.

It's an integral part of my whole ensemble.

Uh, besides, I've sorta grown a-a-attached to it. He-he.

I'm afraid we can't let you go.

'You know too much.'

[snarling]

[sniffs]

Tweety, ya gotta help me!

Ooh, puddy needs my help?

Yeah, yeah. Ya gotta hurry up and solve this mystery

for dwan, I mean, Granny, the way you always do.

I wuv seeing puddy sweat.

I'd wike to help you out, puddy tat

but I don't have a cwue about this one.

Humph! For the sake of my tail

it looks like I'm gonna to have to solve this mystery myself.

Sheesh, I wish I'd paid attention

to all those other stupid cases we were on.

Hmm?

[instrumental music]

[snores]

[yawns]

Let's see what we've got.

[dramatic music]

(man on TV) 'Fellow scientists, ladies and gentlemen of the press'

it gives me great pleasure to present to you..

[gasps] It's gone!

[tape rewinds]

Aha! The Manx cats did it!

Sheesh, I could have solved this mystery

without any research at all.

Or a brain, for that matter.

Borrowed these duds from a fat, Swedish walrus.

This'll fool those mangy Manxes.

[indistinct chatter]

Pardon? Excuse me?

Pardon? Pardon? Excuse me.

My! You're a funny-looking cat. Is that a fake moustache?

I haven't seen too many cats that wear pants and a hat.

Why you wearin' pants and a hat, huh?

[muffled chatter]

[all gasp]

Wha-what's wrong? What?

- Yaah! - Where you takin' me?

Are you here to rescue me or to eat me?

Did you know, mister, that you're the only cat

on this island who has a tail?

[snarling]

Where we goin'? Are you taking me on a sightseeing tour?

I thought it was swell of the scientists

to make me so popular with the public.

Of course, that's why the Manx cats kidnapped me.

They didn't want a cute little mouse like myself

to become the Isle of Man's newest mascot.

Ohh! That's a pretty building. I wish I had a camera.

Can we stop somewhere and buy one of those disposable cameras?

They take such nice pictures.

Wonder why the cats have big, pointy scissors, huh?

Gee, Mr. Pussycat, what are we up to now?

Why did we duck into this alley?

Is this all part of your plan?

[indistinct chatter]

- Shh. Be quiet. - Ah, you want me to be quiet?

Okey-dokey, I can be quiet, quiet as a church mouse.

Why is it always a church mouse?

Are they more quiet than, you know

it's really not such a good idea to swallow me.

I'm loaded in saturated fats.

This ought to keep you quiet.

'Eyew! Have you brushed your teeth lately?'

'I think, I see a cavity right there!'

Ooh, oww!

This way.

[clamoring]

Hmm? Ooh, ooh, ooh! Whoa!

[skids]

Oh, Sylvester, we're off to search for the mouse

on the Isle Of The Calf Of Man.

[mumbles]

Phew!

He's here! He's here!

Gee, Mr. Pussycat, I thought you'd never let me out of there.

Why didn't you spit me out sooner, huh, huh? Why didn't ya?

My, those other pussycats sure have some big cutting shears.

- Don't they, Mr. Pussycat? - There's that miscreant.

Yeee!

Where we gonna go now, huh?

Is this another part of the tour?

splash

Oh, good, a boat ride!

I always wanted to go on a boat ride

and see all the fishes that swim in the seas

especially the basking shark.

Oh, my goodness, there's one now. I wonder what sharks eat?

[snarls]

Ye-o-o-w!

Whoa!

Aah!

chomp chomp

[bell rings]

Hey, wait for me! Granny! Tweety!

From Snaefell Hill, we should be able to see the whole island

so with any luck, we'll find that mouse.

Hi!

My, that was quick.

Oh, Sylvester, you have the mouse.

There's that miscreant.

- He stole our mouse! - He must be punished.

[clamoring]

[screams]

Sheesh, what is it with this island?

Everybody wants a piece of my tail!

[clamoring]

bam

Hmm?

- 'Off with his tail!' - 'Off with his tail!'

(all) Off with his tail!

That poor Mr. Pussycat.

(Tweety) That little mouse told me the story

of all that happened to him and Sylvester

in excruciating detail.

We'd show you the whole thing, but then this cartoon

would be longer than the academy awards.

So to get that wittle mouse to shut his yap

I got Gwanny to watch the videotape that Sylvester found.

Aha!

[intense music]

Stop!

[skids]

[sighs]

The real criminals are your own Manx cats.

(all) Huh?

(cats) Aww!

Well, folks, this is one tale

with a happy ending, for Sylvester.

Or should I say, this is one happy ending

for Sylvester's tail?

[laughs]
