Assistant Sigh-Amm

While trying to get House Sayameez to join the alliance, your wizard must do battle with Assistant Sigh-Amm.

“Now, if you please, I would ask you to leave. If you don’t please, then we will just have to make you.”

Additionally it should be noted that one of the quests in this questline is entitled, “Sayameez, if you Please”.

Lady and the Tramp is a 1955 American animated musical romance film produced by Walt Disney and released by Buena Vista Film Distribution. It was directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske, and features the voices of Barbara Luddy, Larry Roberts, Bill Thompson, Bill Baucom, Verna Felton, and Peggy Lee. The film was based on the 1945 Cosmopolitan magazine story “Happy Dan, the Cynical Dog” by Ward Greene, and tells the story of Lady the pampered Cocker Spaniel as she grows from puppy to adult, deals with changes in her family, and meets and falls in love with Tramp the homeless mutt.

Si & Am causing a ruckus much to Lady’s chagrin

Lady and the Tramp was released to theaters on June 22, 1955, to box office success. It was the first animated film to be filmed in the CinemaScope widescreen film process, as well as Disney’s first animated film to be distributed by their Buena Vista division following their split from RKO Radio Pictures. It initially received generally mixed reviews by film critics, but critical reception for the film has been generally positive in modern times.

Peggy Lee voiced Si and Am, Aunt’s Sarah’s twin Siamese cats with a knack for mischief and never-ending trouble, (also Darling and Peg, a stray female Pekingese whom Lady meets at the pound). The names of Si and Am are a pun on the country of Siam.

We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don’t please
We are former residents of Siam
There are no finer cat than I am

We are Siamese if you please
We are Siamese if you don’t please
Now we looking over our new domicile
If we like we stay for maybe quite a while

Do you seeing that thing swimming roun’ and roun’
Maybe we could reaching in and make it drown
If we sneaking up upon it carefully
There will be a head for you, a tail for me

Do you hear what I hear? A baby cry
Where we finding baby there are milk nearby
If we look in baby buggy there could be
Plenty milk for you, and also some for me!
