Howler quotes from Pound Puppies (1986)

What is it, Howler?

Howler

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

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.

Howler

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?

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.

Howler

(howling nervously)

(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.

Howler

(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.

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)

Okay, team, we’ve got just one chance to save the pound from the clutches of our rival… (flipping round the board) Katrina Stoneheart!

AAll

Ooh!

We have to score the big touchdown and find Millie’s will! Pound Puppies, let’s get pounding!

AAll

Hooray!

2, 4, 6, 8! Who do we depreciate?

HNHowler, Nose Marie and Whopper

Cooler! Cooler! Hooray!

I love a team that respects its coach. (laughs)

View quote →

Alas and the lack! We’ll never find that little old will.

Howler

We’ve looked everywhere!

(popping out Howler’s hat) And we mean everywhere.

(exhausted) 2, 4, 6, 8! Can’t find the will! It’s getting late!

Don’t give up now, team. It’s always darkest before the dawn.

But, Cooley honey, it’s past dawn. The rooster has already crowed his last cock-a-doodle-doo.

This is no time for chickening out, Nose Marie. We still have till 10am.

View quote →

So, Shaky, there may be a few rotten apples in this cooky place we call a world. But if you just keep your peepers aglow, you’ll find the good ones.

SShaky

That was a keen story, Cooler. And look, I’m not afraid of people anymore!

And we’re gonna find your home with people who will love you.

Speaking of love, Cooler honey bunny. Sugar plum, there’s still a full moon out.

Howler

Did you just… uh, no, nose, on my lips? A whole face? You… You put on… (howls) I never knew you cared.

(to Cooler) I do believe my sugar lips have missed their intended destination.

(chuckles)

Bullseye! (laughs)

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

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

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

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

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

And we won’t be back until late tonight.

So try to hose yourself up before we get back.

Aren’t we the mean ones though!

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

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.

Whopper Cries Uncle

The sleigh’s all loaded up.

Then let’s hitch up our reindeer and hit the road! Hey, Rudolph, front and center!

Howler

Rudolph, Shmoo-Dolph! How do we get talked into these things?

AAll

Hooray!

By the way, Holly, where’d you find all these great presents to hand out?

I bought ‘em.

With what? Money. May I be so bold as to ask, perchance?

With the pound’s money!

The pound’s money? You mean we had money left over after paying the bills?

What bills? We haven’t gotten any bills since July. Isn’t that wonderful?

Wonderful? I’d say it’s downright fishy.

(sniffs) And it has the distinct aroma of Katrina Stoneheart.

Closed? But how can you close the pound?

CWChief Williams

I’m sorry to do this on Christmas Eve, Holly, but the pound is so behind in its bills. Well, I just had to close it down. I’m very sorry.

What bills is he talking about? We didn’t get any bills.

Oh, Holly!

This may be your answer coming down the street.

I have a Christmas present for you. Five months of overdue bills! You can possibly pay them! (laughs evilly)

(singing) Yah-yah! Read ‘em and weep!

I can’t believe this!

Well, it’s true. Now come home, young lady. You’re going straight to bed.

No! I wanna stay with the puppies!

Too bad! You’re coming home this instant!

No, you can’t do this! Please, Auntie Katrina! Please!

Howler

(howling sadly)

Eek! Eek! I say “Eek!”

And throw in an extra eek for me!

HBHowler and Bright Eyes

Help!

Howler

It’s a genious houstin… a sizzling roasted… uh… (howls) It’s a great big spook!

Oh, sakes alive! Is there no one who can save us from this fate worse than a flea bath?!

There’s no need to fear. Wonder Whopper is here, along with the world’s greatest ghost hounder, Biff-Barker! This is my hero cos he’s so brave.

AAll

Eww!

BBBiff-Barker

No ghost can scare Biff-Barker.

Oh, what a guy!

And that’s the story of how we were all rescued by Wonder Whopper and Biff Barker the world’s greatest ghost hounder.

Whopper, where do you dream up all this nonsense about Biff Barker?

But there’s not nonsense! He’s a star of the ghost hounder’s TV show.

And I’m an official member… No. The treasure… Oh. The president of the Biff Barker fan club. Yeah. (pushing the lever down and all his things come out) Biff Barker’s an honest-to-goodness real ghost hounder and my hero!

Hmm. I wonder if Biff Barker ever ran into the ghost of the Terrible Terrier!

(chuckles) Ghost of the Terrible Terrier?

Yes! The ghost of the Terrible Terrier! Late at night, you can hear a moan.

A ghoulish, gruesome, ghastly groan. He calls “I’ll get you! I’ll get you! I’ll get you!”

Boo!

We got him good with that one, Cooler!

We’ve already scared them enough, Cooler. Don’t overdo it.

That wasn’t me.

It’s the Terrible Terrier!

Well, it ain’t rimp tin tin!

TTThe Terrible Terrier

Pound Puppies! Be gone from here by midnight tomorrow, or else!

Or else what, doggy breath?

(to Whopper) You had to ask.

Whoa! What’s going on, gang?

Howler

We’re baking the worst… Uh, faking the first… (howls) taking the first bus outta here.

That’s right. We’re not staying here one more little old minute with that drooling ghostly glob.

He may be a drooling ghostly glob, but we can lick him!

Cooler, that’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.

But Cooler’s right! We can’t just leave! We gotta stick together and fight! (cheering) To the cover dance on cinnamon toast! Pound Puppies, Pound Puppies, beat the ghost!

I take it back. That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard.

Come on, crew! We’ll show that Terrible Terrier who can’t push us around!

Yeah, and I know just the guy who can help us!

Five happy puppies and five happy adoptions!

Well, when it comes to adoptions, I guess you could call us, Pound Puppies, a bunch of big shots. (laughs)

Pal, this is Howler, our expert inventor.

Howler

(howls) Uh, uh, pleased to meet you, Pal, and don’t worry about a thing. I have an invention here that’s guaranteed to defrost your frozen tail. (He shows Pal his new invention) I call it “the Wag-O-Matic.”

PPal

Gee! Do you think it’ll really work?

Howler

There’s one way to find out. Let’s hook you up and switch it on. (switching it on) Now, that’s what I call wagging.
