Katrina quotes from Pound Puppies (1986)

Katrina

Your rebel days are through, Cooler!

Katrina

Oh. At last, those filthy curs are back in their cages. (sighs)

Katrina

What the…

Katrina

Oh! Mutts just drive me nuts!

Katrina

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

Holly

Very well, Auntie Katrina.

Brattina

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

Holly

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!

Holly

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

Katrina

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

Holly

I-I don’t know.

Katrina

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!

Cooler

(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.

Brattina

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

Katrina

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.

Brattina

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

Katrina

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!

Brattina

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

Katrina

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

Holly

Good afternoon, Auntie Katrina. Good afternoon, Brattina.

Blah! Blah!

Catgut

(meows)

Katrina

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

Holly

Yes, ma’am! (She leaves)

Katrina

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

Millicent

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

Katrina

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

Catgut

(meows)

Millicent

What’s this?

Katrina

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

Cooler

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

Howler

(howling nervously)

Cooler

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

Howler

I’m so depressed.

Cooler

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

Katrina

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

Holly

What do you mean, Auntie Katrina?

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.

Brattina

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

Holly

But why can’t the puppies stay here?

Katrina

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

Katrina

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

Brattina

Then it’s goodbye, puppy pound!

Katrina

And hello, Stoneheart condominiums!

Katrina

So, you honor, being Millicent Trueblood’s only living relative, I’ve come to demand the deed to her estate.

Brattina

And close down that icky-poo dog pound, right, Mommy Dearest?

Katrina

Yes, Brattina, dear. It’s a dream come true.

Well, then. Let’s proceed with the formalities of reading the deed. “To it. Here in stated the wherewithal of the party of the first part being under the conditions and terms of the party of the second part, and the party of the third part not…

Katrina

(sighs) This could take forever.

…does the party of the first part.”

Brattina

Who’s coming, Mommy Dearest?

Katrina

Mmm. Investors, Brattina. Investors in this scheme that will get rid of those Pound Puppies once and for all.

Catgut

(meows)

Katrina

Oh. My investors are here.

Katrina

(happily) Lord and Lady Belveshire, the third richest couple in the country. And I intend to take them for an absolute fortune.

Brattina

(using the binoculars) All the puppies are inside, Mommy Dearest.

Katrina

Now’s your chance, Catgut.

Catgut

(meows)

Katrina

I want you and your friends to sneak into that house and shred everything inside.

Katrina

But don’t let anyone see you. I want those flea-bitten puppies to take them blame.

Katrina

Good luck! And have a ripping good time! (laughs evilly)

Oh now, actually, according to the manual here, the pipe goes into lug nut D.

Katrina

I’ll fix your lug nuts if you don’t get me out of here!

I’m gonna follow the instructions, Miss Stoneheart.

Katrina

Brattina! Get me a can opener!

Brattina

Mommy Dearest, look! Holly’s here and she’s dancing with my Mervin!

Katrina

How did she get here? Well, I’ll put a stop to this.

Holly

But no food and no money, I’ll have to close down the pound.

Bright Eyes

Don’t worry, everybody. We’ll get by without money or food. We can live on love!

Nose Marie

(chuckles) How’s that sound to you, Cooler honey?

Cooler

I’d rather have some loose change in a baloney sandwich, thank you very much.

Brattina

Bye, Holly! We’re going to the dog hater’s convention! Yah!

Katrina

And we won’t be back until late tonight.

Brattina

So try to hose yourself up before we get back.

Katrina

Aren’t we the mean ones though!

Nose Marie

(scoffs) If abate’s so terribly ladylike, I’d give Katrina’s ankle bone a severe nibbing.

Cooler

Sounds like a hologram.

Howler

It’s for Whopper. Dear Nephew, stop. I’m stopping by puppy pound today for brief. Stop, stop. Your Uncle J.R. Whopper. Stop. Stop, stop.

Katrina

Ah! Oh, a day on the beach has worked wonders for me, girls.

Holly

You do seem more relaxed, Auntie Katrina.

Katrina

Oh, I am, Holly. I feel like all my Pap-puppy troubles are behind me.

Katrina

Puppies! Puppies! Lots and lots of puppies!

Brattina

Icky, icky, icky-poo!

Holly

Cooler?

Cooler

We’ll explain later, Holly! Ciao for now!

Katrina

Puppies! Puppies! (howls)

Brattina

(singing) The captain’s found the booklet! The captain’s found the booklet! Jumpy-joy! Boy, oh boy! The captain’s found the booklet!

(speaking in foreign language)

Katrina

Dog fur coats! Here we come! The Puppy Pelter is ready for blast-off! Brattina! How do we start this thing?

Brattina

Uh, it’s hard to tell, Mommy Dearest.

Katrina

(Off-screen) What do you mean?

Brattina

(She shows Katrina) The instruction booklet’s written in Chinese.

Katrina

NO! It can’t be! Not Chinese! No! No, no! Why did I ever study French?! I CAN’T STAND IT!
