Quotes: [last lines] « Dr. Dawson: [voice over] From that time on, Basil and I were a close team. We had many cases together, but I'll always look back on that first with the most fondness; my introduction to Basil of Baker Street, the great mouse detective. » « Ratigan: I have the power! » « Robot Queen: Of course you do. » « Ratigan: I am supreme! » « Robot Queen: Only you. » « Ratigan: This is my kingdom! » [maniacal laugh] « Ratigan: That is, of course, with your highness' permission. » [the robot is idle; Ratigan slaps it to start it again] « Robot Queen: Most assuredly… you insidious fiend. » « Ratigan: What? » « Robot Queen: You're not my royal consort! » « Ratigan: [to crowd] Such a sense of humor. » « Robot Queen: You're a cheap fraud & impostor! » « Ratigan: [under his breath] Flaversham! » « Basil: [operating the robot] A corrupt, vicious, demented, lowlife scoundrel. There's no evil scheme you wouldn't concoct. » [the robot goes crazy and breaks apart] « Robot Queen: No depravity you wouldn't commit. You, Professor, are none other than a foul stenchus rodentus, commonly known as a… » « Ratigan: Don't say it! » « Basil: [bursting out into the palace] … Sewer rat! » « Ratigan: AAAARRRRGH! » « Basil: Arrest that fiend! » « Ratigan: Ah, the uniforms! Oh, Fidget, I knew I could rely on you. Now, you didn't forget anything? » « Fidget: No problem. I took care of everything. Everything on the list… » [tries to display the list but, to his amazement, the list is gone] « Ratigan: What's wrong? » « Fidget: The list… but I know I… » « Ratigan: Where's the list? » « Fidget: The list, yeah, yeah yeah. Well, you see it was like this. I was in the toy store getting uniforms when I heard a "aroo aroo". » « Ratigan: [irritated] You're not coming through. » « Fidget: A dog came! I ran! I had baby bonnet, girl in bag, and Basil ch-chased me. » « Ratigan: What? Basil on the case? Why, you gibbering, little… hm… hm… HMMMMM! » [restrains himself as Fidget cowers. Then suddenly calms down] « Ratigan: [chuckles] Oh, my dear Fidget. You have been hanging upside down too long. » [lovingly scooping up Fidget he walks toward Felicia's lair] « Fidget: You mean you're not mad? I'm glad you're taking it so well. » [Ratigan rings the dinner bell to summon Felicia] « Fidget: [as he's being eaten] Aaaah! Not me, you idiot! No, stop, you stupid furball! Open up! Open up! You're hurting my wings! » « Ratigan: [rubbing his forehead] How dare that idiot Basil poke his stupid nose into my wonderful scheme and foul up everything? »
