Dialogue

 * Jasper: Now there are two things you must not do to the skinner. One: do not look at the horrendous scar on this neck. Two: don't talk to him, understand? Not a word.
 * Horace: Right. [Skinner answers the door] [surprised] OH! Look at the size of that scar! [Jasper rolls his eyes in annoyance] No bloody wonder you can't talk, mate!
 * [Skinner growls]
 * Jasper: Excuse me just a minute, would you? [closes the door and angrily punches Horace]


 * Frederick: I thought we liked stripes this year.
 * Cruella: What kind of sycophant are you?
 * Frederick: Uh...what kind of sycophant would you like me to be?


 * Anita: Cruella, the puppies have to be with their mother for several weeks. They're not ready to leave.
 * Cruella: Fine. Put the little brutes on reserve for me. How much would you like?
 * Roger: They're not for sale.
 * Cruella: Oh? You've come into some money, have you? Did you design some silly game that will drive the delinquent kiddies into frenzies of video delight?
 * Roger: As a matter of fact, I have...
 * Anita: No, no, what Roger means to say is that we're not sure we're going to sell the puppies.
 * Cruella: Anita, don't be ridiculous! You can't possibly afford to keep them. [offers to buy the puppies] I'll pay you twice what they're worth. Come now. I'm being more than generous. £500. [writes out a check] £7,500! Fair? £2 per spot.
 * Anita: But, Cruella, what would you do with 15 puppies?
 * Roger: That's irrelevant, Anita. She can't have any 'cause they're not for sale!
 * Cruella: I'm getting very tired of you, Roland.
 * Roger: Roger.
 * Cruella: Whatever. [holds out a £7,500 check] Take it.
 * [Roger and Anita do not respond; Cruella shows them the check]
 * Cruella: [quietly] Take it.
 * [Roger and Anita still do not respond]
 * Cruella: [loudly] TAKE IT!!!
 * Anita: [calmly] Cruella, the puppies are not for sale.
 * Cruella: [resignedly] You're quite sure?
 * Roger and Anita: Yes.
 * Cruella: [furiously] All right. Keep the little beasts. Do what you want with them. Drown them, for all I care. You're a fool, Anita! I've no use for fools. [rips the check] You're fired. You're finished. You'll never work in fashion again! I'm through with all of you! I'll get even! Just you wait. You'll be very sorry! You fools! You IDIOTS! [exits]


 * Cruella: [over the phone] Mr. Skinner, suspicions are mounting. Police are everywhere. I want the job done tonight. Can you do it? [Skinner taps one of the keys on the phone several times to communicate] Any way you want. Poison them, drown them, bash them on the head. Got any chloroform? I don't care how you kill the little beasts! Just do it, and do it NOW!


 * Horace: [still cold after falling through the frozen pond] Turn on the heat!
 * Jasper: No. Now with this thing acting the way she is.
 * Horace: I can't stand the cold no more! I want heat! [turns the heat on himself; the system shorts and the car catches on fire from the heater] TOO HOT! TOO HOT!


 * [Cruella, Horace, Jasper and Skinner are taken into custody]
 * Cruella: [sarcastically] Congratulations. You've just won gold, silver, and bronze in the Morons' Olympics.
 * Horace: Who won the gold?
 * Cruella: SHUT UP! My business, my reputation, my life, has been ruined, because you three incompetent twits let yourselves be outsmarted by a bunch of dumb animals! And you call yourselves men?! HA! I've seen more intelligent pieces of carpet!
 * [she suddenly notices a skunk which she mistook for her purse, who sprays; all four scream]
