Jerry quotes from Pound Puppies (1986)

Whopper

The Dirty Bowl Patrol is on a roll with a help of the Wonder Whopper!

Bright Eyes

Thanks for pitching in, Jerry!

So when do we start having fun around here?

Bright Eyes

As soon as all our work’s done.

Whopper

Yeah. We have a million… zillion… no, a gazillion chores to do. Yeah. (imagining he can polish the Statue of Liberty and mop up the moon) Every chore in the world. In fact, we have to polish the Statue of Liberty. No. The Liberty Bell. Yeah, we have to mop up the moon. Yeah, the moon’s a mess. The monsters, they’re total slobs.

Whoa!

Whopper

Hey! Blue, what happened to Jerry?

He said he had something really important to do.

(skateboarding away) Catch ya later, guys!

Whopper

Yeah. Skateboarding’s pretty important stuff.

Yahoo! Anyone else coming in for a dip?

No thanks.

Party poopers. Huh?

Yuck! What gifts with the swimming hole?

Bright Eyes

Some garbage fell in.

Whopper

And cleaning up is no fun. I mean who likes doing chores?

This whole place is no fun anymore. Come on, Blue. Let’s get outta here.

Cooler, how soon are you gonna get Blue and me adopted?

Cooler

Oh, gee. I don’t know. (sighs) Maybe after we’re through watching TV.

I hate it here. Everything’s broken or dirty. Nobody does any chores!

Cooler

Absotutely. You don’t do chores. We don’t do chores.

I do so. I mean I will. I mean that is…

(sighs) I guess I don’t. Sorry, Cooler. Ah, but why can’t chores be fun?

Cooler

Hey. Maybe you’re onto something, kiddo. Let’s give it the old pound puppy try.

Well, maybe chores can’t always be fun, but I’m gonna do my shift from now on. You know, guys, I think there’s something I should tell you.

Cooler

No time for that now, Jerry. Let’s get you to your new home.

Cooler

Here it is!

Bright Eyes

Your nifty new home!

Holly

With some folks who really want you.

But that’s my old house.

Jerry, you’re late. Oh, we were so worried.

Mom, dad! It’s great to be home! Oh! And this is Blue. He’s from the puppy pound. Can I keep him?

Well, I don’t wanna wind up being the one who takes care of him.

Don’t worry, dad. I promise I’ll do all my chores from now on, and that includes taking care of Blue.

Okay then, Blue. Welcome to the family.

Cooler

Well, gang, our chores are done, and you know what that means?

Time to have fun!
