Pound Puppies (1986) quotes

Excuse me? Is this the meeting of alley cat’s anonymous?

Cooler!

Oh, and I see you started the festivities without me. Rats! I miss all the fun! (giggles)

Oh, oh, really? Bright Eyes and I would just love to stay in party with you, kitties, except the… Hey! We’re allergic to catnip! (giggles) Ciao for now! But let’s do lunch real soon, gang!

Aww, thanks, Cooler. You saved my life.

(laughs) Anytime, Bright Eyes! Anytime! But just tell me one thing. Where have you been?! We’ve been looking everywhere for you!

I’m sorry, Cooler. I’ve just been out wandering around, hoping to find myself a home. I sure wish somebody would adopt me.

And as fearless leader of the Pound Puppies. It’s my swarm duty to help this pup get adopted into a hap-hap-happy home!

(giggles) Cooler, you’re a coup!

And so the heroic crook carries the fair damsel dog in distress back to the puppy pound, where a big surprise is awaiting her! She may find a new home yet because deli people from all over are coming to the pound to adopt… Pound Puppies!

Good evening, Holly dear. How did adoption day go?

Very well, Auntie Katrina.

Did you make enough money to pay your electric bill, ha, did ya? Ha, ha. Did ya?

As a matter of fact, Brattina, we made more than enough. Take a look for yourself… (She notices that the money is gone) What? The money! It’s gone!

(Off-screen) It’s not here! The money’s gone!

Oh, that’s too, too bad, Holly. Now what are you going to do?

I-I don’t know.

Well, you better think of something, dear. Because if that bill isn’t paid in one week, I’m afraid you’ll lose the pound…to me!

Psst. Hey, Bright Eyes, how about an autograph?

Cooler! Nose Marie!

Shh! We don’t want to disturb the great Hollywood director.

Yeah. So tell us, kid. What’s it like being a famous actress?

Oh, it’s so boring! All I do is sit around all day waiting for my next scene to be shot.

Well, your last performance got rave reviews, darling. It was in just all the papers.

(reading) “Dog steals fortunes and gems.” Oh. Oh, no! Oh, what have I done?

Upsetting, isn’t it?

I’ll say. This picture could ruin my career. Well, that settles it. I’m retiring from show business.

Eh, not quite yet, Bright Eyes. To clear your name, you have to give a final farewell performance.

Oh. Very well. I suppose I owe it to my public.

Uh, yeah. So, here’s what I want you to do, (whispering in her ear).

I like it. I like it! (giggles)

SQSammy Quentin

What? “Katrina Stoneheart buys world’s largest ruby?” I don’t believe it! My old friend Katrina! (laughing) This should be like taking candy from a baby! (laughing again) Oh, Bright Eyes, I’ve just found your next starring role! In fact, we’ll start filming tonight.

I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

How to Found a Pound

This is a spot where we first met, Cooler dear. Don’t you find it just too, too romantic?

Flowers, candy. A moonlit boat ride. They call me a sentimental old fool. (He eats one candy) But, hey! I find it… delicious.

Wouldn’t you like to sit over here next to little old me?

Why?! I can see you from here, unless you’re just trying to get back this candy you gave me.

I can think of something much sweeter than candy. (chuckles)

Hey, haven’t you heard you get germs from kissing a dog?

Cooler, are you going to come to my little old rescue or what?

Just doggy paddle around for a mo.

Chivalry is dead.

Whoa! What have we here?

A date record, that’s what.

Hey, take it easy, Shaky. You’re among friends.

Sakes alive! He’ll catch his death of cold out here! We better get him back to mission control.

I’ll howl ahead. (He starts howling ahead)

(howls)

What is it, Howler?

It’s Cooler! He picked up the lost pup. We’ve got an emergency on our paws. (howls) Let’s go.

And this is where you’ll stay until some nice person comes to adopt you.

SShaky

(gasps) Person? Uh-uh. No way, Jose. I’m not going near any one of those people things.

Uh, is he okay?

SShaky

(whimpers)

Uh, don’t be afraid. I’m not gonna hurt you.

Shaky, hey, hey! Mellow out, kid! It’s just Holly. What’s your beef?

SShaky

It-It’s those bad humans. You can’t trust them.

Yeah, I know what you mean. We don’t trust the bad ones, either.

SShaky

You-You-You don’t?

Of course not! But not every human is bad. So listen up and dig this dog tale about one of the good ones.

Millie, what do you think you’re doing?

I’m washing the dishes. Why?

You’ve got to stop working so hard, sweetheart. You look tired.

I do?

Absolutamente! What you need is a maid.

Thanks for not embarrassing me.

(chuckles) Merciful heavens! He’s just the funniest thing I’ve ever seen!

Then he can stay on as your mate?

Oh, ho! Anything! (chuckles) Anything!

Good!

Now, how about the butler, the gardener and the chauffeur?

(voiceover) In a few shakes of a dog’s tail, Millie’s house became the haven for homeless canines. But while this party was the coolest, there was a certain party down the street. Her name strikes fear into sane dogs everywhere, Katrina Stoneheart, along with her poor excuse for a pet, Catgut, (Catgut meows) and her nyah-nyah daughter, Brattina.

Mommy Dearest, those awful dogs are barking again! Make them stop, Mommy Dearest! Make them stop!

I CAN’T STAND IT! Oh -ho-ho-ho! Oh! (tearing a paper) Oh, I hate the sound of dogs. I hate the smell of dogs. I hate the eyes, ears, noses and even the tails of dogs.

(singing) We hate the doggies! We hate the doggies!

I’ll figure out a way to make great-great aunt Millie get rid of these dogs, or I’ll just scream! (poking Brattina’s nose) Now, Brattina, go do your chores!

But, Mommy Dearest! That’s why we let Holly live here.

So, it is. So, it is. Holly!

Good afternoon, Auntie Katrina. Good afternoon, Brattina.

KBKatrina and Brattina

Blah! Blah!

Catgut

(meows)

I’m going down to Millie Trueblood’s house. Your chores better be down when I get back.

Yes, ma’am! (She leaves)

Holly is so cute. I hate cute! I put cute in the blender.

Now who could that be? (gasps) Why hello, Katrina.

Don’t give me any of that sweet stuff, great Aunt Millicent! This is the showdown!

Catgut

(meows)

What’s this?

Oh, just something from the Board of Health. Forcing you to get rid of these mangy mutts once and for all! (laughs evilly)

(voiceover) So that rotten Katrina Stoneheart was gonna force us pups out into the street and there was nothing Millie could do about it.

(howling nervously)

View quote →

(voiceover) As it turned out, Millie couldn’t hang on much longer.

Cooler, I love you all very much, but the time has come for me to go.

(sadly) Oh. Hey, quit clowning, Millie. What’ll we do without you?

Don’t worry, my dears. With puppy power, I’ll always be with you. If not in my bedside memories.

(voiceover) And so, at the age of 101 years old, Millie Trueblood went on to her great reward. She was truly a dog’s best friend.

(sadly howling)

View quote →

(voiceover) Holly took care of us for the next few days, but we were all in the dumps, ooh, especially Howler.

I’m so depressed.

(voiceover) Then all of a sudden, things went from bad to pit city.

(laughs evilly) Well, Holly, it looks like all your cute little puppy friends will have to find a new place to live.

What do you mean, Auntie Katrina?

It’s perfectly simple, my dear. My aunt Millie didn’t leave a will. So, her estate, the house and this flea trap will automatically go to her next of kin namely me.

(singing) We’re gonna be rich! We’re gonna be rich!

But why can’t the puppies stay here?

Because I am going to tear down this dump and put up condos! (laughs evilly)

At 10am tomorrow, it’s mine, all mine! That’s when the judge will hand me the deed to Millie’s estate.

Then it’s goodbye, puppy pound!
