Petey
[edit]- [from trailer] Enough about this Dog Man! It's time to stop this supa cop!
- He's not going to ruin my evil plans to destroy all do-gooders.
- [Sarah: How evil can one cat be?!] Pretty evil! Hahaha!
- Oh, Dog Man!
- I'm gonna take over the world!
- I need another me!
- You'll never catch me, Officer Knight!
- [Li'l Petey: Do you have a car seat?] A what? [Li'l Petey: A kid's car seat.] You're a clone cat sitting in a flying mechanical bug. They don't make a car seat for that. [Li'l Petey: Okay, Papa.]
- Dad?
- Hey, kid. [Li'l Petey: What?] Look up. You want to know something, kid? [Li'l Petey: What, Papa?] This world has a lot of problems. But it can never be a horrible place. 'Cause you're in it.
Chief
[edit]- Dog Man, we have an emergency!
- Dog Man, listen up. You're the only one that can stop him with all your kung fu skills and your canine fortitude and whatnot. No time to waste.
- Will you get outta here?! Go and arrest Petey, AND I DON'T CARE IF IT TAKES A MONTAGE!
- Dog Man, you only have one job to do: keep your eyes on those monitors. So if somebody breaks out your favorite chew toy and waves it around, you… you look at the monitors! And if somebody just happens to have an Eastern gray squirrel, you… you look at the monitors!
- Why do you always gotta lick the… [spits, censoring himself] …inside of my mouth?! [Dog Man grunts "I don't know"]
Sarah Hatoff
[edit]- [from trailer] This supa cop makes friends, solves crimes, and even plays piano for the old folks.
- How evil can one cat be?! [Petey: Pretty evil! Hahaha!]
Li'l Petey
[edit]- [repeated line to Petey] Papa!
Officer Knight
[edit]- It's Petey! Greg, hit the Siren.
- Okay. Let's see. Green, red, purple, blue, pink.
- Green?
- Stand aside. if you won't get hurt!
- It's amazing!
- Well, that wasn't amazing.
- Wait. Aren't dogs colorblind?
Dialogue
[edit]- [After the bomb exploded, because Officer Knight cut the green wire, he and Greg were rushed to the hospital]
- Doctor: I'm sorry to say, Mr. Cop, that your head is just no good anymore.
- Officer Knight: [muffled] Darn it!
- Doctor: And your body is no good either, Cop Doggy.
- [Greg howls sadly as Officer Knight pats his head]
- Nurse: Oh! I've got an idea!
- Doctor: Tell me, nurse. What's your idea?
- Nurse: What if we sew the dog's head onto the man's body? [Pausez]
- Doctor: Great idea! [Outside]
- Sarah: This is Sara Hatoff, reporting live from the Major Hospital in town. This is just in, it stopped raining, and doctors and nurses have successfully saved Officer Knight and Greg the Dog by creating… [A figure runs to the exit. Sarah looks over her shoulder at the door. The doctor and the nurse shake hands, and wink at each other. Seamus points his camera at the front door as a hybrid with the head of Greg and the body of Officer Knight kicks the door open]
- Sarah: Dog Man!
- [The crowd cheers]
- [The Mayor has come to talk to the Chief]
- Chief: Oh, Mayor!
- Mayor: Petey escaped again.
- Chief: Again?
- Petey: [as he is launched out of Cat Jail] Again!
- Mayor: Yeah. That's why I said "again" again. Yet again! [shouts as the word "AGAIN!!" appears, then shuts the door behind her] I've had it! [approaches the Chief's desk, pounding on it] Dog Man has got to go!
- Chief: What? [Dog Man hides behind a potted plant] Uh, listen, Mayor. Don't 'cha think the problem might be at Cat Jail?
- Mayor: Excuse me? [gets into the Chief's face, pointing a finger at his chest] Are you saying my brother is bad at running Cat Jail?
- Chief: Your brother?
- Mayor: I want Dog Man off the Petey case. [Dog Man gasps] And I want Petey captured! Capische?! [Dog Man whimpers] That's English for "A.S.A.P."!
- Chief: Wait, wait, wait. [Dog Man joins at his side] Mayor, Dog Man is the champ of catching Petey. That's not fair.
- Mayor: [mockingly] Aww, that's not fair! That's not fair! [takes out a card] Here, call this number.
- [The Chief takes the card, and calls the number. Elsewhere, a mustached man answers a phone. A sign on the wall above his head reads "Life's Not Fair", and a clock on the left reads "Nope", "No", "No Way" and "Never"]
- Man: Life's not fair.
- Chief: [on the phone] What?
- Man: Life's not fair. [hangs up]
- Petey: [as the cloning machine arrives in a wooden box, he opens it with a crowbar] Help has arrived. [grabs the directions from the side of the machine, and reads] "Step 1: Insert your DNA into the DNA chute." [plucks one of his whiskers, and inserts it into the chute] "Step 2: Press the "Start" button." [presses a button labeled "Start", and the machine activates. He laughs menacingly as a picture of himself appears on the door] "Step 3: Open the door to retrieve your clone." Hahaha! Yeah! [opens the door to retrieve his clone, but looks confused as he looks down. The smoke clears to reveal a kitten, who looks like Petey, but kind-hearted] Uh, eh… What? [measures the kitten with his hand, then continues to read the directions] "Step 4: Wait 18 years for your clone to reach adulthood?!" What?! 18 years?! No! [reads the questions on the directions] "If you make a mistake, hit the "Undo" button. Sold separately." "Sold separately?!" No! [brings up the "Undo" button online]
- Sarah: How evil can one cat be?!
- Petey: Pretty evil! Hahaha!
- Petey: Partners?
- [Instead of shaking his hand, Dog Man licks it, much to Petey's disgust and annoyance. A theme song plays]
- Singer: Hero dog, evil cat
- Chorus: Working together
- Singer: How about that?
- Chorus: All Fur One!
- Announcer: In color.
- Petey: [removes his sunglasses] Gah! What was that?
