Top Cat (1961) s01e01 Episode Script
Hawaii, Here We Come
All right, you guys, settle down.
With a little luck, they may never find out we're aboard.
We can sleep here every night, mingle with passengers during the day.
Benny can slip us some food from the dining room.
We'll have a ball.
Okay, Spook, what was in that suitcase? Currency, like, various denominations, like, money.
Like, money? Wow, it is money! By the law of finders-keepers, we are rich.
Top Cat.
Top Cat! -Hiya, Top Cat.
-Benny, what day is it? Tuesday.
I don't remember leaving a call for Tuesday.
I wanted to ask you a question, TC.
What's a "huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa"? A huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa is a small, colorful, tropical fish, edible but bony.
Thanks for the information, TC.
You mean you disturbed your leader's slumber for a crossword puzzle? Not a crossword puzzle.
I'm going to Hawaii and was just reading up on things.
Well, bon voyage and a good night to you.
Good night.
Hi, Officer Dibble.
I'm going on a vacation.
I'm going to the islands.
Which island: Coney or Long? I mean Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and like that.
No, they ain't in my precinct.
See you when I get back from my vacation, Officer Dibble.
Okay, Benny, have a nice time.
A nice little guy, that Benny.
Let's see, how did that thing go? Yeah.
Hello, Sarge.
Dibble here.
Yeah.
Everything's quiet down in this end of town.
I'll check in again later, Sarge.
So long.
Hawaii? What's the matter with you, TC? Did you lose your marbles? Did Benny the Ball say he was going to Hawaii? He said something about the islands.
Of course, if he keeps hanging around with you he'll end up on an island, all right: Alcatraz.
Funny.
Very funny.
Alcatraz.
Nothing.
TC, you're gonna come down to the boat and see me off? Benny, it seems you awakened me with some ridiculous story about you going to Hawaii.
That's right, TC, I am.
Then I wasn't dreaming.
You're really going to the island of tropical beauty swaying palms, and maidens.
What time did you say the boat leaves? -This afternoon at 1:00.
-This afternoon? Gee, that doesn't give us too much time to get the clan together.
-The clan? -Certainly, we're all going.
No kidding.
Me, too? Of course, Benny.
You're all heart, TC.
Hello? This is Officer Dibble.
Let me have the firehouse.
Official business! Firehouse.
Yeah, he's here.
Just a minute.
-Choo Choo, it's for you.
-Okay, Mac.
Look, fellas, I wanna see the same cards here when I get back.
You know what I mean? Hello? Is that you, Choo Choo? Get a hold of the other guys.
We'll have a meeting.
Where? Why, right here in the alley, of course.
Choo Choo, we better make that in the cellar of Schultz's Delicatessen.
Okay? I got to hang up now.
Someone else is waiting for the phone.
If it isn't Officer Dribble again.
Quit calling me Dribble or I'll run you in.
On what charge, sir? Insulting an officer: That's a 402.
Unauthorized use of a police phone: That's a 1206.
Holding a meeting without a permit: That's an 839.
And being a wise guy.
Bingo! Get it? Why, Dibble, how much do I get for reporting a 1227? What's a 1227? That's an accident that's about to happen.
That old lady's about to step off that street corner in front of a truck.
Come on, Top Cat, you don't think I'd fall for that.
Lady, wait! See you when I get back, Dribble.
Okay, guys, the meeting will now start with a calling of the roll.
-Spook? -Here.
-Choo Choo? -Here.
-Fancy? -Here.
Brain? I forgot the question, TC.
-Brain, are you here? -I think so.
I was just talking to myself a minute ago.
Very good, Brain, I'll buy that.
Now, men, I called this meeting because our friend Benny here is going to Hawaii and he wants us to go along.
Because this is a democratic secret society we'll throw the floor open to discussion.
-Any questions? -I got a question, TC.
Good, if there are no more questions, we'll just vote on it.
I was just wondering where Benny got the money for the trip? -I don't have the money.
-You see, he doesn't have the money.
Now for all the.
What do you mean you don't have the money? You don't need money.
You just send in a lucky box top and if you win, you get a free trip to Hawaii.
Benny, do you know what your chances of winning a trip to Hawaii are? -No, TC.
-Maybe one in three million.
I didn't know that.
Should I give back this boat ticket? Boat ticket? Let me see that.
It's true, men! A boat ticket to Hawaii! Benny won first prize with his box top! All right, men, on the double.
Action! We got to catch a boat at 1:00.
Stroke.
Stroke.
Faster, men.
Faster.
We're gaining, fellas.
Stroke.
Well, group, there she is, the good ship Aloha Hooey.
Isn't she a beaut.
That sure is a big ship.
I don't know.
You've seen one ship, you've seen them all.
All right, you guys, break it up.
Beat it! Beg your pardon, sir, we were just admiring your vessel.
You are the first mate of this ship, yes? -No.
-How could I be so blind? Of course not.
That erect posture, that nautical walk -you must be the boss of this dock, right? -That I am.
I just knew it! That stentonian tone gave you away.
I bet you could be heard from one end of this dock to the other.
-When there's no wind.
-Say, will you do me a favor, will you? Go down there away and let these kids hear some of those pear-shaped tones.
Okay.
What would you like to hear? Say, a short command rendered during a great sea battle, like "Now hear this.
" I'm a little rusty, but: Now hear this! Maybe back a hair to take full advantage of the acoustics.
Okay.
How's this? Just a little further for the full stereo effect.
Now hear.
Somebody throw me a line! What a delivery.
Soggy, but sincere.
Here you are, my good man.
Carnegie Hall can use you, sir.
Yes, indeed.
Benny, since you're the only one with a ticket you'd better get aboard, boy.
Okay, TC.
So long, fellas.
I'll miss you.
How about that? Benny still doesn't get it that we're going, too.
How are we gonna get aboard without a ticket, TC? Nothing to it, Choo Choo.
We just mingle with the luggage over there.
And when they start taking them aboard, we'll be inside Benny's trunk.
Let's go, gang, let's mingle! Thank you, Officer.
You've been very kind to help me across the last 12 blocks.
My pleasure, ma'am.
Only doing my duty.
Here.
Take this and get back to your beat.
-I can manage by myself now.
-A $5 bill.
Say, that's very kind of you, ma'am, but I can't accept this.
Hold it, lady! I can't take this money.
Lady, wait! Boy, she's a fast old lady! Aloha! Welcome aboard! Name, please? Dibble.
Officer Dibble.
I'm looking for a little old gray-haired lady.
Really? Most men go to Hawaii for the hula girls.
Hawaii? Are you kidding? I'm not going to Hawaii.
-You are now.
-Oh, no.
What do I tell the sergeant? What a nice stateroom.
I wish the gang could see this.
Benny! Open the trunk and let us out! For goodness sakes! You're packed in like sardines! Benny, not so loud.
We're traveling incognito.
You know what I mean.
Is that better than tourist class? Hello, Sarge.
It's me, Dibble.
You'll never guess where I'm calling from.
The Aloha Hooey? You're kidding.
Honest, Sarge.
I'm on my way to Hawaii.
I can explain the whole thing.
You see, there was this little old lady.
and another thing, Dibble, you get back here immediately or I'll-- Here's an 886, Sarge.
Emergency.
Hold on a minute, Dibble.
Dibble, maybe this is a break.
We got a hot tip that someone is aboard the Aloha Hooey with a satchel full of $5 counterfeit bills.
You mean phony fivers? Yeah.
Mingle with the passengers find out who it is, and arrest him before he floods the islands with fake money.
Pull this off, Dibble and it'll mean a set of sergeant's stripes for you.
Now, get going on the double, Dibble! Yes, sir! One thing, Sarge.
Would you please call my wife and tell her I won't be home for dinner? What rotten luck.
That nosey cop followed me aboard the ship.
I'd better get rid of this disguise.
While he's busy looking for an old lady I'll just relax and enjoy the trip.
Come to think of it, I'd better stash this bag of queer money in a safe place.
That cop might recognize it.
All right, now, here's the plan, Benny.
If they find us aboard, they'll throw us in the brig.
So you stay here while me and the gang go underground.
Why don't we stay here, too, TC? No good.
Benny's legit.
We gotta find another place.
-But where? -Where all stowaways hide! In the lifeboat, where else.
All right, you guys, settle down.
With a little luck, they may never find out we're aboard.
We can sleep here every night, mingle with passengers during the day.
Benny can slip us some food from the dining room.
We'll have a ball.
Okay, Spook, what was in that suitcase? Currency, like, various denominations, like, money.
Like, money? Wow, it is money! By the law of finders-keepers, we are rich, men.
We got it made.
All right, you guys wait here.
I'll be right back.
Purser? Yeah, that's the man I want to see.
How do you do, sir? It seems that my party of tourists boarded your splendid ship without the formality of engaging staterooms.
A slight oversight.
We wish to correct it right away.
Now we'll need five staterooms.
I'm sorry.
There isn't a single stateroom left.
But there is one suite that's available for last-minute decisions by high-ranking dignitaries.
Now you're getting my message, boy.
But you don't look like the type for that suite.
-It costs a lot of money.
-A lot of money, huh? More than this? And there's lots more where that came from, buster.
-Yes, Mr.
-Top Cat.
Mr.
Top Cat, I'll have the Royal Suite prepared at once.
I've walked around this ship six times now and I ain't seen anybody that looks like a counterfeiter.
Maybe I better check with the purser and see if any of that queer money has shown up.
Come to think of it, I ain't seen that little old lady, either.
Little old lady.
That's a hot one! I've checked all the money twice, Officer, and every bill is genuine.
Do you want to check them over? No.
You are the purser, you'd recognize phony money right away.
What's the matter, Officer? Davy Crockett.
He was quite a guy.
Remember when everyone was singing that song.
Thanks.
If anything unusual shows up, let me know.
Will do, Officer, and don't you worry.
I can spot a phony bill instantly.
-I'll keep checking with you.
-Right you are.
Quite a nice guy, that purser.
Let's see.
How did that song go? I don't think that's right.
Davy Crockett's picture on a $5 bill? Abraham Lincoln is on a $5 bill, not Davy Crockett.
No kidding.
Are you sure? Where did those bills come from? -From the party in the Royal Suite.
-Royal Suite? That's my man.
How about that? Abraham Lincoln's picture's on a $5 bill.
I must remember that.
Abraham Lincoln.
Boy, maybe I'll even make lieutenant for this.
-Hiya, Top Cat.
-Hi, Officer Dibble.
-Top Cat! -Dibble? Come back here, you! What are you doing aboard this ship? -What's the matter, TC? -Officer Dibble is aboard! Officer Dibble? Yeah, we can explain being stowaways but we can't explain this setup and all this money.
We gotta put the suitcase back in the lifeboat and get out of here fast.
Let's get moving, men.
I lost Top Cat but he won't get far.
First I'll get this counterfeit pusher in the Royal Suite.
Locked.
That figures.
Okay, I'll give it the old shoulder.
Now I'll put the money back and you guys meet me at the boat.
Hello, Captain? I'd like to make a report.
There's a man overboard.
That was Top Cat in there with his whole gang.
Boy, wait till I get my hands on those phony money pushers.
I'll have to tell Dibble what happened.
He'll understand.
But the first thing I'll do is put this suitcase back into the lifeboat.
Suitcase? Lifeboat? Don't tell me! All right, now the suitcase is back where we found it.
When Officer Dibble gets dried off, we'll just explain the whole deal.
-You guys better let me do the talking.
-Right, TC.
Okay, let's go.
And that's the way it is, Dibble.
All of us except Benny are stowaways.
Knock it off, Top Cat, I got you dead to rights.
You're guilty of passing $5 bills with Davy Crockett's picture on it.
This is counterfeit money and you've been passing it.
-Counterfeit? -Yeah.
You know what that means? It means all the money we found in the suitcase is counterfeit.
Suitcase? What suitcase? The one we found in the lifeboat.
But we put it back again.
Okay, Top Cat, show me that suitcase and you'll be in the clear.
I'm sure hurt, Dibble hurt the way you doubted my word.
You don't think that I would pass counterfeit money, do you, Dibble? Okay, stop talking and hand me down the suitcase.
Where's the suitcase? It disappeared and I think I will, too.
Come back here, you crook.
You can't get away! The whole gang is locked up in the brig, Officer Dibble.
We'll turn them over to the authorities in Honolulu.
Fine, Captain.
I'll talk to the prisoners and try to get a confession.
Hiya, Dibble.
What's new? What's the matter with you, Top Cat? Don't you realize you're in plenty of trouble? No, you're the one who's in trouble, Dib when I tell my story to the FBI and the press how I obtained evidence to circumvent a plot to flood Hawaii with counterfeit money but I was thwarted by the very officer assigned to catch the criminal.
-What evidence? -The suitcase full of money, Dib.
I told you, produce the suitcase and you'll be clear.
And if I do and you catch the counterfeiter you'll be sergeant, true? True.
I have a sure-fire, can't-miss plan.
Are you listening, Sergeant, or maybe Lieutenant Dibble? All right.
I'm listening.
And it better be good.
Fine, this is what you do, Dibble.
You go to the Captain and you.
-Not bad.
-And then, you.
I don't see what good this will do, Officer Dibble.
Captain, I think this will work.
All right, it's worth a go.
Attention all passengers.
This is your captain speaking.
There is a suitcase in my cabin belonging to one of the passengers.
The suitcase is full of money.
Will the passenger who lost it please come to my cabin and claim it? What happens now? Here I am, Captain, it's my suitcase! I lost it, Captain.
It's mine! -It's mine! -No.
It's mine! Hand over that suitcase! I say, look at that.
Every passenger on board is outside my door.
Not everyone.
If Top Cat is right, the one with the real suitcase will stay away because he has the money.
And there he is.
You! Come back here with that suitcase! It's that nosy cop.
Halt in the name of the law! Cop and counterfeiter overboard! It was nice of them to let us work our way over, you know.
It wasn't the way I planned it but as we say back in the alley, c'est la vie! We'll be docking in a couple of hours, and the Captain's waiting for his chocolate pudding.
I'll see you later, Spook.
Perhaps we can persuade Officer Dibble to tell us again how he thought up this scheme to catch the criminal.
It was an inspiration.
-What? -While I was shaving I suddenly thought of an idea to trap the culprit.
So I said to myself "Suppose I circulate a rumor around the ship "that there was a suitcase full of money in the Captain's cabin.
" I knew right away it was a great idea-- Who turned out the lights? Get him, get all of them, and lock them up again! -They all jumped overboard, sir.
-Jumped overboard? I don't see them anywhere.
They just disappeared.
Back home just won't feel the same without Top Cat and the group.
It doesn't seem right.
I'm here, and Top Cat is somewhere out there.
Gangway, everybody! Clear the runway.
We're coming in for a landing.
Aloha! Top Cat, you're safe! Look, it's me, Dribble! I mean, Dibble! Fellas, look.
That's either Officer Dibble or a huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa swimming by.
You did that on purpose, Top Cat.
It's not a huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa.
That's for sure.
With a little luck, they may never find out we're aboard.
We can sleep here every night, mingle with passengers during the day.
Benny can slip us some food from the dining room.
We'll have a ball.
Okay, Spook, what was in that suitcase? Currency, like, various denominations, like, money.
Like, money? Wow, it is money! By the law of finders-keepers, we are rich.
Top Cat.
Top Cat! -Hiya, Top Cat.
-Benny, what day is it? Tuesday.
I don't remember leaving a call for Tuesday.
I wanted to ask you a question, TC.
What's a "huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa"? A huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa is a small, colorful, tropical fish, edible but bony.
Thanks for the information, TC.
You mean you disturbed your leader's slumber for a crossword puzzle? Not a crossword puzzle.

Davy Crockett's picture on a $5 bill? Abraham Lincoln is on a $5 bill, not Davy Crockett.
No kidding.
Are you sure? Where did those bills come from? -From the party in the Royal Suite.
-Royal Suite? That's my man.
How about that? Abraham Lincoln's picture's on a $5 bill.
I must remember that.
Abraham Lincoln.
Boy, maybe I'll even make lieutenant for this.
-Hiya, Top Cat.
-Hi, Officer Dibble.
-Top Cat! -Dibble? Come back here, you! What are you doing aboard this ship? -What's the matter, TC? -Officer Dibble is aboard! Officer Dibble? Yeah, we can explain being stowaways but we can't explain this setup and all this money.
We gotta put the suitcase back in the lifeboat and get out of here fast.
Let's get moving, men.
I lost Top Cat but he won't get far.
First I'll get this counterfeit pusher in the Royal Suite.
Locked.
That figures.
Okay, I'll give it the old shoulder.
Now I'll put the money back and you guys meet me at the boat.
Hello, Captain? I'd like to make a report.
There's a man overboard.
That was Top Cat in there with his whole gang.
Boy, wait till I get my hands on those phony money pushers.
I'll have to tell Dibble what happened.
He'll understand.
But the first thing I'll do is put this suitcase back into the lifeboat.
Suitcase? Lifeboat? Don't tell me! All right, now the suitcase is back where we found it.
When Officer Dibble gets dried off, we'll just explain the whole deal.
-You guys better let me do the talking.
-Right, TC.
Okay, let's go.
And that's the way it is, Dibble.
All of us except Benny are stowaways.
Knock it off, Top Cat, I got you dead to rights.
You're guilty of passing $5 bills with Davy Crockett's picture on it.
This is counterfeit money and you've been passing it.
-Counterfeit? -Yeah.
You know what that means? It means all the money we found in the suitcase is counterfeit.
Suitcase? What suitcase? The one we found in the lifeboat.
But we put it back again.
Okay, Top Cat, show me that suitcase and you'll be in the clear.
I'm sure hurt, Dibble hurt the way you doubted my word.
You don't think that I would pass counterfeit money, do you, Dibble? Okay, stop talking and hand me down the suitcase.
Where's the suitcase? It disappeared and I think I will, too.
Come back here, you crook.
You can't get away! The whole gang is locked up in the brig, Officer Dibble.
We'll turn them over to the authorities in Honolulu.
Fine, Captain.
I'll talk to the prisoners and try to get a confession.
Hiya, Dibble.
What's new? What's the matter with you, Top Cat? Don't you realize you're in plenty of trouble? No, you're the one who's in trouble, Dib when I tell my story to the FBI and the press how I obtained evidence to circumvent a plot to flood Hawaii with counterfeit money but I was thwarted by the very officer assigned to catch the criminal.
-What evidence? -The suitcase full of money, Dib.
I told you, produce the suitcase and you'll be clear.
And if I do and you catch the counterfeiter you'll be sergeant, true? True.
I have a sure-fire, can't-miss plan.
Are you listening, Sergeant, or maybe Lieutenant Dibble? All right.
I'm listening.
And it better be good.
Fine, this is what you do, Dibble.
You go to the Captain and you.
-Not bad.
-And then, you.
I don't see what good this will do, Officer Dibble.
Captain, I think this will work.
All right, it's worth a go.
Attention all passengers.
This is your captain speaking.
There is a suitcase in my cabin belonging to one of the passengers.
The suitcase is full of money.
Will the passenger who lost it please come to my cabin and claim it? What happens now? Here I am, Captain, it's my suitcase! I lost it, Captain.
It's mine! -It's mine! -No.
It's mine! Hand over that suitcase! I say, look at that.
Every passenger on board is outside my door.
Not everyone.
If Top Cat is right, the one with the real suitcase will stay away because he has the money.
And there he is.
You! Come back here with that suitcase! It's that nosy cop.
Halt in the name of the law! Cop and counterfeiter overboard! It was nice of them to let us work our way over, you know.
It wasn't the way I planned it but as we say back in the alley, c'est la vie! We'll be docking in a couple of hours, and the Captain's waiting for his chocolate pudding.
I'll see you later, Spook.
Perhaps we can persuade Officer Dibble to tell us again how he thought up this scheme to catch the criminal.
It was an inspiration.
-What? -While I was shaving I suddenly thought of an idea to trap the culprit.
So I said to myself "Suppose I circulate a rumor around the ship "that there was a suitcase full of money in the Captain's cabin.
" I knew right away it was a great idea-- Who turned out the lights? Get him, get all of them, and lock them up again! -They all jumped overboard, sir.
-Jumped overboard? I don't see them anywhere.
They just disappeared.
Back home just won't feel the same without Top Cat and the group.
It doesn't seem right.
I'm here, and Top Cat is somewhere out there.
Gangway, everybody! Clear the runway.
We're coming in for a landing.
Aloha! Top Cat, you're safe! Look, it's me, Dribble! I mean, Dibble! Fellas, look.
That's either Officer Dibble or a huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa swimming by.
You did that on purpose, Top Cat.
It's not a huma-huma-nuka-nuka-apa-wapa.
That's for sure.
