["Bullwinkle's Corner" does "Tom, Tom the Piper's Son" as a "Dragnet" spoof. Bullwinkle, as Tom, is arrested for stealing a pig. At the police station, he is grilled under a hot light by two police detectives who speak in quick "Dragnet"-style dialogue]
Police Officer #1:
D'you know it's a felony to pack a pig over a state line?
Police Officer #2:
Pig-napping!
Bullwinkle:
But, it's a pig in a poem!
Police Officer #1:
Oh, a pig in a poke, huh?
Bullwinkle:
Not "poke." "Poem." Pig in a poem!
Police Officer #2:
Pig poem?
Bullwinkle:
[Measuring with his hands] Not so pig, just about...
Police Officer #1:
You makin' fun of the way we talk?
Bullwinkle:
[Frustrated] No, but it's *catchin'!*
Police Officer #2:
[Writing on a notepad] Name?
Bullwinkle:
I'm Tom, Tom the Piper's Son!
Police Officer #1:
[Holds up the pig] All right, Piper's Son. What were you gonna do with the pig?
Bullwinkle:
Well, the poem says, "The pig was eat." But...
Police Officer #2:
Gonna eat it, huh?
Police Officer #1:
On a platter?
Police Officer #2:
Apple in it's mouth, like that?
Bullwinkle:
[angry] Certainly not!
Police Officer #1:
All right, Piper's Son, you can go. But don't leave town.
Bullwinkle:
Thanks! Can I have my pig back?
Police Officer #2:
No. Evidence.
Bullwinkle:
[Moves toward the door] Darn!
Police Officer #1:
One more thing, Piper's Son.
Bullwinkle:
What's that?
Police Officer #1:
[Holds up the pig, smiling] You got an apple on you? [Bullwinkle looks dizzy. The "Dragnet" theme plays: 'Dum de dum dum!']
