Rover Dangerfield
[edit]- All night I'd sit up and beg, she told me I was too old to beg!
- [after attacking one of the wolves] That one's for the three little pigs!
- I guess that's my trouble, no class. I looked up my family tree, two dogs were using it!
- Hey folks! I'll never dampen your holidays! [door slams shut] No respect. No respect at all.
Dialogue
[edit]- Rover Dangerfield: [about playing fetch] He throws a stick, you run and get it, you bring it back and he throws it again! I don't get it! I mean, what's the point?
- Raffles: Because it makes them happy and it gives them lots of exercise
- Rover Dangerfield: If they want exercise, let them run and get it.
- Raffles: So what should I do?
- Rover Dangerfield: It's very simple. You do nothing.
- Rover Dangerfield: Where's Flappy?
- Queenie: Carmine fired him. He couldn't remember the routines.
- Rover Dangerfield: Oh, I saw that coming. Flappy was dumb. Yeah, he used to walk backwards and wag his head. I mean dumb! Carmine taught him to sit, he forgot how to stand! And when Carmine paper-trained him, that was something. He went right on the paper. The only trouble is, Carmine was reading it!
- Turkey: Let me tell you, I won't be here very long.
- Rover Dangerfield: I tell ya, the way I see it, you probably won't be around after Christmas!
- Turkey: Well, that would suit me just fine! Well, I might have known: There's absolutely nothing to eat here!
- Rover Dangerfield: Yeah? Look in a mirror!
- Turkey: Oh... I don't get it.
- Rover Dangerfield: Don't worry about it, drumstick. You will!
