Quotes

• Tigger: How could I have missed it? It's always about sandwiches.
• Tigger: Time to come clean, Pinky.
• Piglet: Am I dirty?
• Tigger: That's a question only you know the answer to.
• Tigger: (film noir) It was beginning to feel like a wild donkey chase. Maybe I was being played for a patsy. Maybe the bird and the bear were in cahoots. Whatever that is. Maybe everybody was in on it but me.
• Pooh: Well, now that I think of it, I seem to remember that I did see Eeyore this morning, in the meadow. He-he had a basketful of bread, I believe.
• Tigger: So, your memory's getting better all the time. (film noir style) The bear knew something after all.
• Pooh: Oh, Tigger, who are you talking to?
• Tigger: Nobody. (lapsing back into film noir) I told him I wasn't talking to nobody or anybody. You get the idea.
• Pooh: I'm rather confused.
• Tigger: You and everybody else.
• Tigger: So you wanna play games, do ya'?
• Pooh: Well, I suppose I could play some games. Pooh sticks is very nice. Oh, and so is croquet.
• Tigger: (speaking into the "camera," film noir style) He was playing dumb and he was good at it. But not as good as I was.
• Tigger: (singing) Stripey McSnarl always gets his man, see?
• Rabbit: I really just wanted my picnic basket.
• Tigger: How long has the mopey guy been missing?
• Rabbit: I didn't say he was missing. I merely thought you might have seen him.
• Tigger: All right now, Floppy Toes, calm down, calm down. I can see you're upset a-a-and confused.
• Rabbit: I don't know what you're talking about!
• Tigger: See what I mean?
• Tigger: Aha!
• Pooh: (bonking his head on a table) Aah! Oh, hello Tigger.
• Tigger: The name's McSnarl, Stripey McSnarl.
