Quotes 

• [Benny reveals his new purchase, the "Non-Electric Air Conditioner" - aka a paper fan] 

  Top Cat : Oh, boy.

  Spook : Like, uh, what's the gimmick, Top Cat?

  Top Cat : Benny is the last of the all-day suckers, that's what. He has just been baited, bagged, buncoed, conned, heisted and flimflammed!

• [Brain is directed to a "Wanted" poster of criminal Cha-Cha Charlie McGee] 

  Top Cat : Brain, the wanted poster gimmick up yet?

  Top Cat : That's "Unabridged Dictionary"! What's the matter with you? That's nothing but words!

  Spook : Oh, I thought it was kinda freeform.
