- Karim: Miss Darsay, something has happened. Something very distressing.
- Janice Darsey: What?
- Karim: I can hardly bear to tell you. A baby scandal.
- Janice Darsey: Tell me!
- Karim: Come with me.
- [They walk toward some caged tigers]
- Janice Darsey: Well, what is it?
- Karim: Be patient. Behold the bride!
- [Pointing at a female tiger with a cub]
- Karim: She'll have to do some tall explaining.
- Janice Darsey: [Referring to the male tiger] Perhaps he's not very good at arithmetic!
- Janice Darsey: [Speaking to the tiger cub] Would he grow up to be a big, big boy and eat the kind, kind lady?
- Karim: Who could blame him?
- Janice Darsey: I shall call him Oscar.
- Karim: Oscar is a boy's name.
- Janice Darsey: My error!
- Karim: Forgiven.
