Bird [first lines] I'm a Bird, a paraketus romanticus. [a vase is hurled at him, he ducks] That was my sweetheart, Sweetypuss. A lovebird can't live without love, so what is there left to live for? I guess there's nothing left to do but end it all. Dialogue Lovebird: Come on, Mr. Cat. Eat me. Sylvester: No! No! I'll die! Lovebird: Please, Mr. Cat? Sylvester: All right! I'll do it. I'd rather die than starve to death! [Sylvester is about to eat the lovebird when a telegram arrives; lovebird reads] Lovebird: You don't have to eat me, Mr. Cat. I just got a telegram from Sweetypuss, and everything is going to be, oh, just dandy. Sylvester: Oh, yeah? Well, I haven't changed my mind!
