Quotes 

• Nutmeg : Will you help him, the little pilot?

  Chief : Why should I?

  Nutmeg : Because he's a twelve year old boy, dogs love those.

• [repeated line] 

  Chief : I bite.

• Rex : I used to sleep on a lamb's wool beanbag next to an electric space heater. That's my territory, I'm an *indoor* dog.

  King : I starred in twenty-two consecutive Doggy Chow commercials. Look at me now, I couldn't land an audition.

  Boss : I was the lead mascot for an undefeated high school baseball team.

  [sneezes] 

  Boss : I lost all my spirit, I'm depressing.

  Duke : I only ask for what I've always had, a balanced diet, regular grooming, and a general physical once a year.

  Rex : I think I might give up.

  Duke : What, right now?

  Rex : Right now.

  [turns around] 

  Rex : There's no future on Trash Island.

  Duke : [sneezes, then turns to Boss and King]  You heard the rumor, right? About Buster?

  [All the four dogs murmur] 

  Boss : Who's Buster?

  Duke : Uh, my brother from another litter.

  King : What happened to him?

  Duke : Suicide. Hanged himself by his own leash.

  Boss : Aw, boy...

  Rex : I want my master.

  Chief : [scoffs in disgust]  You make me sick.

  [vomits off to the side and walks up to the four dogs] 

  Chief : I've seen cats with more balls than you dogs.

  [shouts at Duke] 

  Chief : STOP LICKING YOUR WOUNDS!

  [Duke looks around awkwardly with his tongue out. Chief walks up to Boss] 

  Chief : You hungry? Kill something and eat it.

  [walks up to Duke] 

  Chief : You sick? Take a long nap.

  [walks up to King] 

  Chief : You cold? Dig a hole in the ground, crawl into it, and bury yourself.

  [walks up to Rex] 

  Chief : But nobody's giving up around here, and don't you forget it, ever. You're Rex. You're King. You're Duke! You're Boss! I'm Chief. We're a pack of scary indestructible alpha dogs. You're talking like a bunch of housebroken... pets.

  Rex : You don't understand. Uh, how could you, I mean you're a...

  Chief : Go ahead say it. I'm a stray, yeah.

• Chief : [to the Owl]  You'll meet a bitch named Nutmeg. Tell her Chief says, "I'll see you in Megasaki."

• [Two packs of feral dogs growling at each other over a garbage bag potentially containing food] 

  Rex : Wait a second. Before we attack each other and tear ourselves to shreds like a pack of maniacs, let's just open the sack first and see what's actually in it. It might not even be worth the trouble.

  Igor : Alright.

  Rex : A rancid apple core, two worm-eaten banana peels, a moldy rice cake, a dried-up pickle, tin of sardine bones, a pile of broken egg-shells, an old smushed-up rotten gizzard with maggots all over it...

  Chief : Okay, it's worth it.

  [All dogs proceed to fight] 

• Spots : I've become the leader of a group of outcasts that depend on me for their survival, and I'm going to be a father. With deepest sadness and humility, I must ask you to relieve me of the duties of my position, effective immediately.

  Chief : You son of a bitch! If we don't drown, I'm gonna strangle you myself. I don't care how many exploding teeth you try to spit out at me. Do you have any idea what that little pilot just went through to try to rescue you? How dare you?

• Chief : That kid is gonna get us all put to sleep. Euthanized. We won't find the dog, but we will die trying.

  Rex : Not a bad way to go.

• Chief : [Trying his first Puppy Snaps treat]  Hmm, crunchy, salty, supposedly it cleans your teeth. This is my new favorite food. Thank you.

• Chief : Don't ask me to fetch that stick.

• Chief : We'll find him. Where ever he is, if he's alive, we'll find your dog.

• Chief : Rex! King! Duke! Boss! You made it!

  Rex : What happened to you?

  Chief : I took a bath.

  Rex : What, he's got soap?

  Chief : Just a little.

  Rex : You're too fluffy.

  Chief : We played fetch.

  Rex : With a stick?

  Chief : With a hunk of rubber radiator tubing.

  Rex : And you brought it back to him?

  Chief : Yeah. He's a good boy.

  Rex : Don't you tell me that! I was the one that tried to make you be loyal to him in the first place!

  Chief : Stop, *stop*! This is the rendevous! Where's that trash-tram taking you?

  Rex : You think we booked this flight through a travel agent? We were fighting for our lives in a high-velocity trash-processor while you were getting scrubbed and brushed!

  Chief : Jump!

  Rex : Where?

  Chief : Here!

  Rex : When?

  Chief : Now!

  Rex : Why?

  Chief : *What*?

• Chief : Was... was I the runt?

  Spots : Not anymore.

• Chief : I am not your pet,

  Chief : I never liked you

  Chief : I don't care about you

  Chief : I won't wait for you

  Chief : I bite.

• Chief : I'm not doing this because you commanded me to. I'm doing it- because I feel sorry for you.
