This is the transcript for the Tom and Jerry short, The Lonesome Mouse.

[Tom is napping by the fireplace.]

Tom: *snoring*

[Above Jerry drops a vase onto his head, crashing on the sleeping cat. He gets framed for breaking it. Mammy Two Shoes enter the scene]

Mammy Two Shoes: Thomas, you no good cat! That's sabotage! Out you go!

[Mammy Two Shoes throws Tom out of the house. He crashes into a mop and wash crate, giving him the Great Sphinx of Giza look, by some pyramids. Jerry dances with a egypt theme playing as way to teases Tom from inside much to the cat's annoyance. Jerry then puts a "For Rent" sign outside his mouse hole. He spends the whole day having lots of fun with Tom's stuff such his milk bowl, and on his bed. But at the end of the day, Jerry soon becomes lonely without the cat. Watching Tom from the window]

Voice: You never thought you'd miss that cat, did you?

Jerry: *shakes his head*

Voice: "Feelin' kind of lonesome, hmm?" (The voice replies)

Jerry: *nods.*

Voice: Look at him. You can't live with him, but there's no fun without him.

Jerry: [Jerry continues listening to the voice]

Voice: You know, you could get that guy back in here though, if you really wanted to. Couldn't ya? [The voice adds]

Jerry: [thinks about it and then smiles. Convinced, Jerry runs outside to make a deal with Tom]

[Tom is sitting outside the house, feeling sorry for himself. Jerry whistles at him and waves a hanky of truce.]

Jerry: Hey, you want to get back in the house, don't you?

Tom: Yeah.

Jerry: Okay, then. *whispers*

Tom: Uh-huh.

Jerry: And you come around. *whispering*

Tom: Oh.

Jerry: Then we'll both... *whispering*

Tom: That's a lulu!

[In the kitchen, Mammy is cooking dinner awhile singing HOW ABOUT YOU?.]

Mammy Two Shoes: [SINGING "HOW ABOUT YOU?"]

[Jerry sneaks in and snaps Mammy's sock]

Mammy Two Shoes: Ow!

[Jerry makes face to terrify her. Mammy stands on a stool. Jerry shakes it and to shake her off the stool, but shakes off all sorts of accessories, an axe, and then Mammy's dress, which she promptly pulls back up. Jerry then cuts a leg off the stool with hand knife.]

Jerry: Timber!

[Mammy falls with a big crash]

Mammy Two Shoes: Thomas! Get in here and save me!

[Tom grabs a curtain, using it as a cape, and chases Jerry behind another curtai

n. Tom and Jerry play patty-cake behind a curtain, mimicking fighting sounds]

Jerry: Ouch! Ouch!

Tom: Ow!

Jerry: Oh!

Tom: Ow!

Both Tom and Jerry: Ouch!

[Jerry emerges from the fake fight and runs back into the kitchen, passing the stove he spies Mammy cowering on top of the cooker. The mouse turns on the burner underneath Mammy, causing her to jump to the ceiling]

Mammy Two Shoes: *yelping*

[Jerry runs past the fridge and as Tom runs by, he rips a drumstick off of a chicken. He chases Jerry behind a wall with the drumstick in his hands (making Mammy believe he is trying to smash Jerry with it), and together they take turns eating it. The fake chase continues with Jerry running into the cupboard and choking the cat.]

Tom: *gurgling*

[A lot of banging sounds are heard, but Tom and Jerry are using the pots and pans as a drum set. Tom and Jerry quickly close the cupboard again when they see the viewers watching them. The two then exit the cupboard, staging a fight with a knife and fork, and poke Mammy several times.]

Mammy Two Shoes: Ah! Oh! Ow! Ouch! Ah!

[Tom pours tomato sauce into Jerry trying to make it resemble blood. . Tom then grabs a meat cleaver and starts to chop at Jerry. Tom ends up chopping the leg of a table, the bottom of a curtain, slicing a table in half, and cutting an apple on top of Jerry's head in half. Jerry notices that the last cut was close to his head, he asks Tom]

Jerry: Hey, we're still kiddin', ain't we?

Tom: Sure.

Jerry: Okay then.

[After Tom ensures the fight is not for real. The staged fight resumes. Jerry runs around Mammy.]

Mammy: Chase him in here, Tom!

[Mammy is standing on a chair holding a broom and clumsily hitting the cat three times before an irate Tom takes the broom and snaps it over his knee. Tom then hands the broken broom back to the humiliated housemaid. Jerry then runs under the carpet and Mammy tries to swat the mouse. Jerry escapes and Tom puts a tomato under the carpet, traps it and pretends to Mammy that this is Jerry.]

Tom: *whistles*

Mammy: Hold him down, Thomas! Don't let him get away!

[Mammy hits the tomato under the carpet]

Mammy: Did I get him?

[Tom looks under the carpet.]

(Sad music plays)

Tom: Oh! [he looks again] Oh! Oh! [laying down flowers and crying in the process.] *sniffling* [Tom blows his nose on the hem of Mammy's frilly apron. He then takes the flower pan and holds it down like a hat.]

[R.I.P music plays]

Mammy: [chuckles] Yes, Thomas, you are a hero. Here's a reward for getting rid of that mouse. [Tom is given a lemon meringue flan pie as his reward] Boy, you sure are a mouse catcher. [chuckles]

(As Mammy leaves the scene, Jerry shows up with a napkin around his neck. Jerry takes a small bite of the pie and is about to dive in and enjoy it, but Tom pulls the pie away for himself. He pushes Jerry away and snaps his fingers at him, but before Tom can enjoy the entire flan, Jerry kicks him and Tom lands face first into it. Jerry, angry at his lack of gratitude, walks away saying)

Jerry: Why that dirty double-crossin', good-for-nothin', two-timin'...
