Quotes 

• Cruella De Vil : [to Anita]  More good women have been lost to marriage than to war, famine, disease and disaster. You have talent, darling. Don't squander it.

• Frederick : I thought we liked stripes this year.

  Cruella De Vil : What kind of sycophant are you?

  Frederick : Uh, what kind of sycophant would you like me to be?

• Cruella De Vil : Congratulations. You've just won gold, silver, and bronze in the Morons Olympics!

  Horace : [mouthing hesitantly, then speaking out loud]  Who won the gold?

  Cruella De Vil : [screaming]  Shut up!

  [fuming] 

  Cruella De Vil : My business, my reputation, my life, has been ruined!

  [as she speaks; she fumbles for a cigarette, but her cigarette case is empty] 

  Cruella De Vil : because you three incompetent *twits* let yourselves be outsmarted by a bunch of dumb animals!

  [Cruella throws the empty cigarette case at Jasper and Horace in anger. She then unknowingly picks up a skunk, mistaking it for her purse] 

  Cruella De Vil : And you call yourselves men? Ha! I've seen more intelligent pieces of carpet!

  [She lifts up the skunks tail. Horace and Jasper recoil in shock as they realize Cruella's "purse" isn't a purse. The skunk sprays at Cruella in the face, causing her to scream, followed by Jasper, Horace and Skinner. They all jump up and start beating their hands against the police van, while screaming their heads off] 

• Cruella De Vil : Alonzo. The drawing.

  [Alonzo looks confused] 

  Cruella De Vil : [shrieking]  Take the drawing from Anita, and hand it to me! Is that difficult?

  [Alonzo gives her the drawing, then Cruella snatches it] 

  Cruella De Vil : Thank you. Now go and stand somewhere until I need you.

• Cruella De Vil : [to a racoon who has just stolen her hat and is wearing it]  Darling, red isn't your color. Give me the hat. Give me the hat, or you will become a hat. GIVE IT TO ME!

• Cruella De Vil : My faith in your limited intelligence is momentarily restored.

• Cruella De Vil : You... BEASTS! But I'm not beaten yet. You've won the battle, but I'm about to win the wardrobe. My spotty puppy coat is in plain sight and leaving tracks. In a moment I'll have what I came for, while all of you will end up as sausage meat, alone on some sad, plastic plate. Dead and meaty and red. No friends, no family, no pulse. Just slapped between two buns, smothered in onions, with fries on the side. Cruella De Vil has the last laugh!

• Cruella De Vil : Be sure to let me know when the blessed event occurs.

  Anita : [thinking that Cruella is talking about the baby]  It won't be for another 8 months.

  Cruella De Vil : The puppies, darling. I have no use for babies.

• Cruella De Vil : I live for fur, I worship fur. After all, is there a woman in all this wretched world who doesn't?

• Cruella De Vil : [to Skinner on the phone]  Mr. Skinner, suspicions are mounting. Police are everywhere. I want the job done tonight. Can you do it?

  Skinner : [uses scalpel to tap on the speaker several times to communicate]  *I can. How do you like it done?*

  Cruella De Vil : 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!

• Cruella De Vil : [scary whisper]  Oh, yes! I love the smell of near extinction!

• Arresting Officer : Ms. Devil?

  Cruella De Vil : Yes?

  Arresting Officer : We have a warrant for your arrest.

  Cruella De Vil : Oh. Is there something wrong?

• [Cruella has spotted the dogs running away across a field] 

  Cruella De Vil : Bingo!

  [sarcastically] 

  Cruella De Vil : Poor little things. I'm gonna cut you off, then cut you up!

  [sinister chuckle] 

• Cruella De Vil : All right. Keep the little beasts. Do what you like with them. Drown them, for all I care. You're a *fool*, Anita! I have no use for fools. 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!

• Cruella De Vil : And you must be Rufus.

• Cruella De Vil : [walking through a farmyard]  This is extraordinary. I am reduced to tramping through SEWAGE! Because my two imbeciles can't keep track of a bunch of infant dogs!

• Jasper : [as they meet up to discuss their plan for Cruella's coat]  Ah, ma'am, what a beautiful day it is out there! Sun shining, blue skies, the laughter of schoolchildren riding on the gentle breeze.

  Cruella De Vil : Get on with it, you imbecile!

• Cruella De Vil : [to Jasper, who is on the roof]  Get down from there, and CATCH THOSE PUPPIES!

• Roger : Did Anita tell you the news?

  Cruella De Vil : [smiles] 

  Roger : She's going to have a baby.

  Cruella De Vil : [frowns with a disgusted look]  Is this true?

  Anita : Yes.

  Cruella De Vil : Oh you poor thing. I'm so sorry.

  Anita : We're very excited about it Cruella.

  Cruella De Vil : You can't be serious.

  Roger : She is.

  Cruella De Vil : Well what can I say? Accidents will happen.
