Rufus : Faith is a bluebird, we see from far. It's for real and as sure as the first evening star, you can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right.
Penny : Can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight, but it's there just the same, making things turn out right. But whoever adopts me has to adopt Teddy, too.
Rufus : Oh, they'll love him! He doesn't eat much, does he?

Penny : Oh, here. I brought you something.
Rufus : Land O Goshen! Cat-nip snaps.
Penny : [giggles] No, they're ginger snaps.
Rufus : Well, an old codger like me could use a little ginger.
Penny : I taked two extra ones for lunch today. We're not s'posed to do that.
Rufus : You can trust me. I won't tattletale on you.
Penny : I love you, Rufus.

Rufus : What's wrong, Penny, honey?
Penny : Nothing.
Rufus : Come on now, come on. No secrets. You tell old Rufus, huh?
Penny : Well, it was adoption day at the orphanage.
Rufus : Well... what happened?
Penny : A man and lady came and looked at me, but they choosed a little red-headed girl. She was prettier than me.
Rufus : Aw, sh-sh-she couldn't be! You listen to me, darling. You're something extra-special.
Penny : No I'm not.
Rufus : Why, some day a mama and a papa will come to the orphanage looking for a pretty lil' girl, just like you.
Penny : Honest?
Rufus : I'll bet my whiskers on it.

Rufus : Mice!
Bernard , Miss Bianca : Cat!
Rufus : Now, look here, you two. If anyone found out that mice have moved in, I'd get kicked out, lose my job.
Miss Bianca : Oh, don't worry, Mr. Cat, we- we won't be here long.
Rufus : [while stretching his legs] Wh- I- I'm too old to be chasing mice.
