# 101 Dalmatians (1996 film)

101 Dalmatians is a 1996 American family comedy film produced by Walt Disney Pictures, and a live-action remake of the animated 1961 Disney film of the same name, which in turn was based on Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians.

## 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 wait! You'll be 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, but the system shorts and a bolt of lightning strikes the heater and sets the truck on fire] 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]
