Quotes

 * Lionel: We have to get the cat, the hen and the seed -- all three - across the river. But the boat can only hold two things. Hmm... what do we take first?


 * Walter Pigeon: Oh oh oh, take the hen!


 * Clay Pigeon: Yeah, birds go first, cats are the worst! Take the bird.


 * Busterfield: If any grownups are watching, I want you to know that I had nothing to do with the nonsense you just witnessed.


 * Announcer Bunny: We would like to thank Barnaby B. Busterfield III, the founder of our library, without whose help none of this would have been possible.


 * Busterfield: I had nothing to do with it! Nothing! You're not taking me down with ya'!


 * Lionel: Hmm, let's see. If I take the sack of seeds across first, oh! That leaves the cat alone with the hen.
 * Pigeons: (gasp) No, no! Not that! Anything but that!


 * Dr. Ruth Wordheimer: Whoo! I am good. And pretty enchanting too, if I do say so myself.


 * Pigeons: Right! Put our heads together and think! (sound of heads clonking together)


 * Farmer Ken: (singing) The cat ate the hen and that is that.


 * Walter Pigeon: Oh, that poor hen!
 * Clay Pigeon: Lionel, how could you do that to the poor hen?
 * Lionel: But... you told me to!
 * Busterfield: Shocking. I'm afraid I have to agree with the pigeons. Cats eating hens. As if there isn't already too much violence on television.


 * Cleo: Bye, Dr. Nitwit.


 * Dr. Nitwhite: That's Nitwhite!


 * Theo: Of course, sorry!
