comment
Quiet Please! is a 1945 cartoon from MGM, directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and starring Tom and Jerry.Spike the bulldog is trying to sleep, but he keeps getting disturbed by the noise of Tom and Jerry's antics, especially when Tom is slamming a pan on the floor in an attempt to squash Jerry or firing a gun as Jerry runs away. Eventually Spike has enough, grabbing Tom by the scruff of the neck and threatening in no uncertain terms to give Tom a beatdown if Tom disturbs his sleep again. Unfortunately for Tom, Jerry hears this, and sets out to wake Spike up.Not to be confused with the radio show Quiet, Please (1947). Compare with the Looney Tunes short A Pest in the House, which has a similar plot.

Hurt Foot Hop: Tom is about to hit Jerry with a hammer when Jerry offers him a much bigger mallet. As Tom aims the mallet, Jerry takes the hammer and slams it on Tom's foot, causing him to hop in pain.

Nervous Wreck: Spike is this, as he tells Tom when the latter wakes him, illustrating his point by pulling on his own tongue, which, in cartoon fashion, causes his ears to bang together.

Oh, Crap!: Tom, when Jerry is about to push the grandfather clock to the floor, and when he fell on Spike and the shattering bulbs starts waking him up. Jerry also has this reaction when he learns that Spike has been given knock-out drops.

Wingding Eyes: Tom pulls Spike's eyelid after giving him the knockout drugs, and sees that Spike's eye says "OUT COLD". Later, after Jerry tries to wake Spike up by jamming a needle at his butt, he lifts the lid and it reads "STILL OUT COLD".

Shout-Out

comment
Shout-Out: At the end of the short, Jerry lights a HUGE stick of dynamite underneath Spike. Tom tries in vain to pull it out, which causes Spike to wake up. Tom slides the stick back underneath him and runs for his life. When the stick explodes, Spike lifts up his sleeve before chasing Tom down, revealing a very familiar-looking tattoo.

Suddenly Speaking: A rare example, at least rare in the original MGM run, of Tom speaking. He sings lullabies to Spike and says "Let me have it" when Jerry literally wills him a custard pie.
