Dialogue
[edit][first lines]
- Max: [narrating] I've lived in this city all my life. I'm Max. And I'm the luckiest dog in New York because of her. That's Katie. Katie and I, well, we have the perfect relationship. We met a few years ago and, boy, let me tell ya', we got along right away. You know, it was one of those relationships where... where you just know.
- Max: [after Duke accidentally causes a vase to crash to the floor, worried] Oh, Duke. Duke, Katie is not... Katie's gonna be so upset when she sees that... Katie's... gonna flip out... [comes to a realization, looks around mischievously]... when she sees how... you trashed her whole place.
- Duke: Oh, it's just... [scratches behind ear] It's just one vase.
- Max: Is it, Duke? Is it? [Kicks a vase off a table] Oh that's a shame.
[pushes a bunch of papers onto the ground]
- Duke: What are you doing?
- Max: Whoa, what am I doing? Nothing. I'm a cute little doggy. Katie knows I'd never do anything like this [pushes a table making it start to tip over].
- Duke: No, no. Whoa!
[runs and manages to keep the table from falling over]
- Max: This can only be the work of... [pushes some books off a shelf]... a dangerous stray, who hasn't laid down a foundation of trust. [walks along a counter-top, knocking things over] You're the new dog. And, hey Duke, what'd you go and do [pushes a bowl of fruit to the ground] this for?
- Duke: Oh! I'm gonna...
- Max: What? Bite me? Rip my face off? Perfect. Wait till Katie finds out. [imitates an injured dog] "Oh! Help, Katie! Thank goodness you're here! I tried to stop him, but he's crazy!"
- Snowball: Who are we? Who are we? We are the Flushed Pets. Thrown away by our owners and now we are out for revenge! It's like a club, but with biting and scratching.
[Gidget is watching La Pasión de la Pasión on TV]
- Maria: [Bursting into a room with much flouncing] Why? Why?
- Gidget: What's the matter, Maria?
- Fernando: Maria! Your face! It wears a thousand sorrows! What is wrong?
- Maria: [More flouncing] Oh, I have come face to face with the worst thing in the world!
- Gidget: [Getting really into it] What? Oh, tell me Maria! Tell me now! I CANNOT BEAR ANOTHER MOMENT WITHOUT KNOWING!
- Maria: [Yet more flouncing] Loneliness!
[Fernardo gasps, then Gidget gasps]
- Gidget: [climbs up through the drawers and shelves of a cabinet] Friends, I am afraid that I have some terrible news.
- Mel: The squirrels are gonna take over the world, I knew it! I always said, squirrels are little shifty little guys.
- Gidget: No, we're not doing the squirrel thing right now, that's not, no! [sighs] Max is missing! He's out there somewhere. Lost. Scared. So, so handsome. We've got to find him and bring him home!
- Mel: But the outside world is loud and scary, whoa! Is that a hawk?!
- Gidget: This is my friend, Tiberius. He's going to help us. [Tiberius flies next to Gidget] He's not going to eat us. We've already been over it.
- Buddy: Come on, Gidget. We go out there without a leash, we'll get caught by a net... or something worse.
- Mel: Yeah, like a hawk!
- Gidget: We’re wasting time. Max need us.
- Buddy: Come on, girl. Max doesn’t even know you’re alive.
- Gidget: Well, I don’t care. I love him! I love him with all of my heart! And I’m gonna go look for Max, no matter who’s with me. So... Who's with me? All right, fine. Fine.
- Chloe: Oh, come on, guys. I can't believe you! When I got my claws caught in the curtains, who helped me out? Max did! Buddy, Mel. When you were fixed, who taught you to sit the comfortable way?
- Buddy: Max did.
- Mel: Max did! He did it!
- Chloe: And when that random cat tried to eat Sweet Pea, who saved him?
- Buddy: It wasn't a random cat, it was you! [Sweet Pea chirps in agreement]
- Chloe: The identity of the random cat is not the point. We're talking about who saved him!
- Mel: Max did!
- Buddy: We gotta save him! We gotta go save Max!
- [Tiberius takes Ozone, a Sphinx hairless cat, to the apartment rooftop]
- Ozone: [as Tiberius drops him] Ow! Ooh. [licks his paw]
- Tiberius: Alright. Show her (something)!
- [Ozone coughs up Max's collar like a hairball]
- Gidget: [gasps] Max's collar! [to Ozone, as he licks his paw again] Where is he? What happened to him?
- Ozone: I ain't saying nothing. [Tiberius grabs him by his neck and dangles him from the side]
- Tiberius: You're gonna tell us where Max is, and you're gonna tell us now. [threatens to drop Ozone to the street but he isn't scared]
- Ozone: [laughs] Is this supposed to scare me? I’m a cat. I’ll land on my feet.
- Tiberius: Does it always happen? Cause your head look like it’s taking lot of landings.
- Ozone: [does fighting skills] Do you want me to catch you? Because I’ll catch you this way, and let you look like a waffle.
- [Tiberius drops Ozone on the apartment rooftop with Gidget]
- Tiberius: OK, he's too stupid to talk and too ugly to eat.
- Gidget: [yells and tackles Ozone] I'M DONE PLAYING NICE!
- Ozone: I, uh…
- Gidget: WHERE… IS… MAX?!
- Ozone: Whoa! I, I… [gets slapped by Gidget each time] Ooh!
- Gidget: TELL ME!
- Ozone: What? Ooh! Actually, I'm kinda… Ooh! Let me finish! Ow! What? [to Tiberius] Help me! Ow!
- Gidget: DON'T LOOK AT HIM! [slaps him again] LOOK AT ME! NOBODY CAN HELP YOU! WHERE… IS… MAX?!
- Ozone: OK, OK! He's in the sewers! He got taken! Please have mercy, adorable puffy dog!
- [Gidget gasps in shock]
- Buddy Hey, Pops.
- Pops: Mud and sweet potatoes.
- Buddy: Pops!
- Pops: Who's that? What? Oh, hey, buddy.
- Buddy: How you've been, old timer?
- Pops: Paralyzed!
- Gidget: Great! Listen, Mr. Pops. Our friend Max was taken.
- Max: Maybe the legend of dogs coming from wolves is jus... is just wrong. Maybe, like, maybe one puppy asked his mom, "Where did we come from?" And the mom said "Woof." And the kid was like, "Oh wolves?" And she was like, "Yeah, fine."
- Buddy: Getting a weird vibe, man.
- Pops: Now, these guys are a bit testy, so just let me do the talking. Hey, you crybaby! Where's the Viper at?
- [the alligator, sobbing, points to the crushed Viper, multiple R.I.P messages are seen]
- Snowball: [sobs loudly and shakes the Viper's tail] Don't you worry, Viper! You will not be forgotten! [punches the Viper’s tail, but it falls down] You will be avenged, Viper! [sniffles] And if you don’t believe me, you can look at my battle plans, it’s all laid out right here.
- Tattoo: Uh... Boss, I can't tell where anyone is.
- Snowball: Well, you gotta really look at to understand it. Like, that’s you guys right here, and, see, that’s Brooklyn. That’s where we’re going get them dogs. [bangs the red marker into the cardboard] Bam! Bam! [cackles evilly]
- Pops: That ball of fluff’s got a screw loose. Let’s skadaddle.
- Snowball: Bottom line is, I'm coming right for you, Tiny Dog and that big, fat brown dog? He gonna get it, too.
- Gidget: [stops in her tracks hearing this] "Tiny Dog"?
- Chloe: There are lots of tiny dogs in the city. I mean, you're a tiny dog, okay? So, let's just go.
- Buddy: But he also said, "Big, fat brown dog", like Max's new roommate!
- Chloe: Not necessarily.
- Snowball: Oooh. Max, Max, Max, Max, Max. You are gonna GET IT!
- Chloe: [sighs] That's kinda hard to dispute.
- Gidget: Hey, stay away from-[Chloe covers her mouth]
- Snowball: Wait what? You know Tiny Dog?
- Gidget: [shoves Chloe off her] He’s my friend! And some might say my boyfriend!
- Buddy: Uh, nobody says that.
- Snowball: [seeing Max on Duke on a ferry] They're going to Brooklyn.
- Tattoo: They say everyone's going to Brooklyn these days. It's making a real comeback.
- Snowball: I'm not talking about hipster real estate trends. I'm talking vengeance, Tattoo!
- Duke: [angry, after he barked at the family] Why did you bring me here, Max?
- Max: Wait a minute. This is my fault? I was trying to help you!
- Duke: You were trying to get rid of me!
- Max: You know what, Duke? I don't need this. I'll see you later.
[Max suddenly gets captured by the animal control, Duke saves him]
- Duke: Go home, Max!
[Duke gets put into the animal control truck, Max chases]
- Max: Hey, uh, Gidget, wait up.
- Gidget: Oh, uh, hi, Max. [her tail starts wagging]
- Max: Yeah, uh...
- Gidget: [to her tail] Play it cool!
- [Her tail stops wagging, and she giggles]
- Max: Yeah, I just wanted to, uh... [clears throat] Look. Have you ever lived across from someone your whole life, but you don't really appreciate them until... I don't know, until they're beating up dozens of animals on the Brooklyn Bridge? I guess, what I'm trying to say is... if you ever want to...
- [Gidget wags her tail, and her eyes lighten up. Then she barks and happily hops onto Max and starts licking him and nuzzling him]
- Max: Okay!
- Pops: Oh, great, you're in love. How gross for everyone, now, MOVE IT!
- [as all the pets head back to their apartments; they say goodbye to Max]
- Gidget: [laughs] Bye, Max.
- Max: Bye, Gidget.
- Snowball: Man, I feel sorry for them. Gotta run home to their owners, not us. Now, it's back to our primary mission. The downfall of the human race! It is on, humans! It is on!
- [Derick, Dragon, and Tattoo cheer, Molly is riding on her scooter]
- Molly: Mommy, can I have a bunny? [The Flushed Pets see Molly] And a pig and a crocodile and a lizard? [Dragon, Derick, and Tattoo went back in to the manhole leaving Snowball behind]
- Snowball: Uh, oh.
- Molly: Yay, bunny! [hugs Snowball]
- Snowball: Jab, jab, jab! Body blow, body blow! Break-away move!
- Molly: Aww... [pets Snowball's head]
- Snowball: What's going on? What's she doing?
- Molly: Bunny, I'm gonna love you forever and ever and ever. [Snowball's eyes turn cute as Molly pets him] Aww. Bunny. [she and her Mom walk away]
