Papa : No offense.
Dithering : Oh, none taken.
Papa : After some cockamamie buried treasure?
Fievel : It's not cockamamie, it's real!
[runs over to Mama]
Fievel : Mama, can't I go?
Mama : [sarcastically] Sure. So what if it gives your mother a heart attack from worrying? Go. Enjoy.
Fievel : Ah, Mama, I'll be okay, and I'll come back with a treasure.
Papa : Ah, feh! Where is the proof? A so-called map? Not even written in a language! Just a bunch of d-d-d-d-doodles!
Tanya : I think it's pretty.
Papa : Tanya, don't help!
Fievel : Papa, why did we leave Russia?
Papa : We were going to be eaten. You need a better reason?
Fievel : Papa, I'm serious! You always say that in America, if a mouse works hard and get lucky, he can make a fortune.
Papa : So?
Fievel : So finding the map was the lucky part. Going down that tunnel, that's the hard work.
Tony : Filly's right, Mr. M. We're never gonna make it workin' for those fat rats at the factory.

Mama : No! If Tanya goes, nobody goes!
Papa : Relax, Mama, she's not going.
Tanya : No fair, no fair, no fair! He always gets to do the exciting stuff, and all I get to do is... laundry.
Papa : She does have a point.
Mama : Which only matches the one on your head! Tanya, you are staying here and that is that!
[Fievel blows a raspberry at Tanya]
Tanya : I am going to be putting a lot of starch on everything you wear.
Dithering : I assure you, Madam, there's nothing to be concerned about. Think of it as a, uh, uh, well, think of it as a, uh, a field trip.
Papa : See?
Dithering : Think of it as a rite of passage.
Tony : See?
Tanya : Think of it as a disaster waiting to happen.
