  [goes back inside the Dog Pound] 

  Sassy : What a bozo.

• [Chance sees a porcupine, but he doesn't know what it is] 

  Sassy : What is that?

  Chance : I don't know. It's probably a squirrel having a really bad hair day.

• Sassy : [after Chance uses a see-saw to launch Sassy into the sandbox]  He threw me in the big litterbox!

  Peter : Nice shot, Chance!

• [Chance is chewing apart an old shirt] 

  Sassy : Chance, stop! The blouse is dead!

  Chance : That's right! And I have to shred it into teeny, tiny little pieces and I...

  [gulps] 

  Chance : - I swallowed a button.

  Sassy : Oh, what a shame... Too bad it wasn't a zipper!

  Chance : Hey, you better beat it powder puff before I turn you into dog meat!

  Sassy : Oh, is that any way to speak to a petite dewdrop... you big flat-faced butt-sniffer?

  [Chance barks and chases Sassy] 

• Sassy : [as Hope's giving Sassy a particularly tight hug]  Hope, sweetheart, Sassy can't breathe.

• Sassy : Oh, Chance. When will you grow up? That bear could've eaten you. Don't you realize how painful that would've been... for the bear?

• Shadow : Up and at 'em, you two. I found our breakfast.

  Chance : Good, I hope it's garbage

  Shadow : No, even better.

  Sassy : With you two gourmets, I can just imagine

  Chance : Well fine, just sit here and diet.

  Sassy : Are you calling me fat?

  Chance : Course not, for a hippopotamus!

  [Runs into a tree] 

  Chance : I meant to do that!

  Sassy : Ha ha! Serves you right.

• Hope Burnford : Hungry?

  Sassy : No.

  Chance : Whoa, gopher hole!

• Sassy : [chased by the fat guy]  This way, Thunder Butt.

• Sassy : It's like I said all along, poopsie: cats rule and dogs drool.

  Chance : Get a life. Get nine of 'em.

  Sassy : But it's true. Cats are smarter than dogs, and more attractive... and we don't drink from the toilet!

• Chance : You want to shake a paw? Shake hands? Is that worth most of your food? All of your food? She doesn't even know how to shake right. You need training.

  Sassy : You need the training.

  Chance : Ah, great. And I suppose you know a better way?

  Sassy : Yes. I'll get food by acting like I don't want food.

  Chance : That's stupid.

  Sassy : I'll prove it.

  Chance : Oh, you don't have to prove it. I believe you're stupid.

• Sassy : [seeing Chance eat greedily]  I feel I'm going to be sick

  [as Chance starts eating her unwanted food] 

  Sassy : Hey, hey! Stop, that's mine!

  Chance : Yeah. Well you snooze, you lose.

  Sassy : Ooh! Canines!

• Chance : I can't sleep. I'm too tired to sleep. And this place is spooky. I don't like it here. It gives me the creeps.

  Sassy : Oh, fraidy cat. I mean dog!

  Shadow : You two pipe down and go to sleep.

  [Chance hears a sound and sits up with a start] 

  Shadow : Now what?

  Chance : There's somethin' out there.

  Sassy : [trying to scare him]  Oooooooohh!

  Shadow : Enough, Sassy. Now sleep.

• Chance : [barking at raccoon in a tree] 

  Sassy : Oh, right! Like if you yap at it, it's going to come right down and ask you to eat it! Ha, pitiful!

• Shadow : I thought you were gonna stay, pup.

  Chance : Yeah, but I thought I should come along, in case you two needed protection.

  Sassy : My hero! Guess I'm gonna have to stare at YOUR butt the whole way.

• [Chance is chewing on an old boot] 

  Sassy : Do you have any idea where that's been?

  Chance : Yeahhh. That's why I like it. You want some?

  Sassy : I'm not really into leather.

• Sassy : You just woke me up from a very deep catnap.

  Chance : What's the matter, Sassy? Get up on the wrong side of the litter box?

  Sassy : Even a great beauty needs her beauty sleep!

  Chance : Beauty sleep? You'd have to sleep for, like, a month!

• Chance : [seeing a poop]  Whoa. That's as big as Sassy!

  Sassy : Thanks, darling.

  Chance : Whoo! Only it smells better!

  Sassy : At least, I don't roll in it like some species.

• Chance : [eating a shoe and talking to Shadow]  Why don't you relax, Gramps?

  [with mouth full] 

  Chance : Have yourself a shoe!

  Shadow : [tuts in disgust]  Pups!

  Sassy : Have you any idea where that's been?

  Chance : Oh, yeah. That's why I love it

• Shadow : Great fish, Sassy. Fully stomach sure feels good.

  Chance : Yeah, I guess I kinda pigged out.

  Sassy : [burps]  Whoop. Excuse me.

• Chance : [Finds Sassy sleeping on the ground] 

  Chance : Well, look who's down in the dirt with the dogs.

  Chance : Morning, honey.

  [Licks Sassy] 

  Sassy : Ugh! Dog breath! Blah!

• Sassy : Oh, no. I'm with strangers.

• Sassy : Thanks, precious.

  Chance : You're welcome, cupcake.

• Shadow : You alright, Sass?

  Sassy : Me? I laugh at danger!

  Chance : Me too, but I'll laugh later. Let's get out of here.

• Sassy : I can't believe I'm following a couple of irresponsible, misguided, mangy canine plague-lifters.

• Shadow : I told you to run away!

  Sassy : I never listen to dogs.

• Shadow : It's gentle here, Sassy. You can swim across.

  Sassy : I don't have to swim. I have a note.

• Sassy : I wanna be home where the tallest thing I have to climb is a bookshelf.

• Sassy : You two are really gonna go off and leave me here?

  Shadow : You wait for that bus. You'll do fine.

  Chance : Yeah, we'll send you a dead bird when we get there.

  Sassy : I prefer to do my own shopping.

• Sassy : I can't believe what they want me to do! Just because they want the pleasure of my company?

• Sassy : Am I bad? Oh, yes!

• Chance : Oh, go hawk up a hairball!

  Sassy : [sarcastically]  Oh, yeah, that hurt. Really hurt.

• Sassy : P.U.! They were here, alright!

• [Chance is barking at a racoon in a tree] 

  Sassy : Oh, right. If you yap at it, it's going to come down and ask you to eat it.

  [scoffs] 

  Sassy : Pitiful!

• Shadow : Something doesn't smell right. They've been gone *way* too long. Much longer than they should've been. Something's really wrong.

  Chance : Wake up and smell the kibble! They dumped us!

  Shadow : No! It isn't true!

  Chance : They love you, then they dump you.

  Shadow : Not Peter!

  Sassy : You could be right, Shadow. It... It's been too much time, *way* too much time.

  Shadow : Something is keeping Peter from coming to me, so I'm gonna go to him.

  Chance : You guys *kill* me. She locked the gate, remember?

  Shadow : I don't care about gates. I'm going *home*!

• Shadow : [stands on the riverbank]  It's gentle here, Sassy. You can swim across.

  Sassy : I don't have to swim! I have a note!

  Shadow : It's *fun* to swim! Come on, you'll like it.

  [jumps into the river] 

  Sassy : Except for the water part.

  Shadow : [swims out a few metres and looks back]  Come on, you two.

  Chance : Don't be such a sissy, Sassy.

  Sassy : *You* know how to swim?

  Chance : I happen to be a champion dog paddler. Bonsai!

  [jumps into the river] 

  Chance : Oh, that's *cold*!

  Shadow : It's easy, Sassy. Come on.

  Sassy : I prefer the dry look.
