Quotes

 * Jill: That's the Farmer in the Dell?


 * Jack: Yes, that's the Farmer in the Dell.


 * Farmer: Oh, don't bother calling me that. Just call me Old MacDonald. Most folks do.


 * Jack & Jill: Old MacDonald?


 * Farmer: Yeah, you know, with a moo-moo here and a neigh-neigh there, here a baa, there a baa, everywhere a quack-quack.


 * Hermione: Hello again, Jack.


 * Jack: Wha-? Hermione, you can talk?


 * Hermione: Of course, I can.


 * Jack: But how?

(Tom and Jerry shrug, Red shows up)


 * Red: I made it so she can speak in human-language.


 * Jack: You did?


 * Dish: Sure, Red can do anything, since she's a fairy.


 * Spoon: And now that Hermione can talk, she's one of us now. The Hey Diddle Diddle Gang.


 * Hermione: What they said.


 * Cat with fiddle: So you're me and Jerry's Hick in this theme park?

(Tom nods)


 * Cat with fiddle: Well, then, let's agree on something. I'll be me and you'll be someone else here, while you be me in the theme park. Deal?

(Tom and the Cat shake hands)


 * Hick Dick: I'll be me and you be somebody else when you're here, and you can be me in the theme park. Deal?

(Jerry and Hick shake hands, Jill is not amused at the sight of the agreements)


 * Jill: I still cannot believe these guys.


 * Butcher: Take it easy.


 * Baker: They're just doing their thing.


 * Candlestick maker: You'll learn to like them.


 * Jill: Not going to happen, you three.


 * Paul Bunyan: I'm Paul Bunyan. I'm 300 pounds of raging fury. I can out-eat and out-swing any one of you.


 * John Henry: This 20-pound hammer shines like silver. Shines like silver, but it rings like gold.


 * Pecos Bill: I'm a ring-tailed roarer. I can draw faster, shoot straighter, ride harder, and drink longer than any man alive. I am the ripsnortingest cowboy that ever rode north, south, east, or west of the Rio Grande. I'm Pecos Bill.


 * Jack: Alright, Bookworm, why did you kidnap Mother Goose? You'd better be telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.


 * Bookworm: Don't you know what you'd have to go through to get your own story?

(Everyone gasps)


 * Hermione: What are you talking about?


 * Bookworm: I've been reading lots of books about all of you. All I ever wanted was to have a book of my own, but never got it. I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm. I guess I'll just be book-less for the rest of my life.


 * Mother Goose: No, don't be like that. Anybody can have a story, all you have to do is write your own or ask somebody to write one for you.
