Two Scent's Worth

Two Scent's Worth is a 1955 Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones.
== Title ==
The title is a play on the expression "two cents' worth," meaning one's opinion on any particular subject.
== Plot ==
In la petite village de Nasty Passer, French for "the little village of Nasty Pass", a burglar buys a fish from a "fishmonger" and uses it as bait to catch a cat named Fifi, on whose back he paints a white stripe to make her look like a skunk. He drops her in a bank from the skylight so as to scare everyone away, which would allow him to rob the place. While walking up a hill to make a calm getaway, the burglar encounters Pepé Le Pew, to whom he says, "Don't follow me; you have served your purpose." As soon as he smells Pepé's skunk-smell, however, the burglar runs towards the city prison and intentionally incarcerates himself. Meanwhile, Pepé spots Fifi and, as usual, mistakes her for a female skunk. He runs over to her and introduces himself as her "lover;" Fifi tries to get away, but Pepé jumps into her arms, saying, "Hm. So impetuous, but nice." Horrified, Fifi then runs away, whereupon Pepé says, "You know, it is not just a case of visual attraction; I admire her mind, too!" The skunk then chases the cat up a mountain, whereupon a ski-chase begins. When Fifi reaches the end of the mountain, Pepé skis by and grabs her thinking she is waiting for him, whereupon the cat hangs onto him for dear life so as to avoid falling down. "She is no longer timid." says the skunk as he opens up his heart-shaped parachute which he brought from the village. "A true gentleman must be prepared for any-zing," he says.

== Notes ==
* This cartoon is one of seven Pepe Le Pew cartoons in which Michael Maltese was not credited as a writer, joining "Odor-Able Kitty" (Tedd Pierce), "Odor of the Day" (Lloyd Turner), "Dog Pounded" (Warren Foster), "Heaven Scent" (Chuck Jones), "A Scent of the Matterhorn" (Chuck Jones), and "Louvre Come Back to Me" (John Dunn). This is also one of three Pepe cartoons in which Chuck Jones both wrote and directed it.
* In The Bugs Bunny Show, the title of the short was changed by removing the apostrophe in Scents.
