And there was this classic exchange from The Bickersons:-——————“Is the canary all right?”“I don’t know; I haven’t seen him since I vacuumed his cage.”
Reminds of the line in the Maltese Falcon. Bogart tells his girl friend he must turn her in because she killed someone. He tells her that if she gets 20 years he will be waiting for her when she gets out and if they hang her, he will always remember her.
Is Mrs. Mutt from a coal-mining family? An allusion to caged canaries (birds) that mining workers would carry down into the mine tunnels with them. If dangerous gases such as methane or carbon monoxide leaked into the mine, the gases would kill the canary before killing the miners, thus providing a warning to exit the tunnels immediately. Mutt is obviously a late-warning “system”…"Canary" is etymologically derived from " canis", Latin for “dog”.
