Reggie
edit- This beer doesn't taste good, but I like how it's making me feel.
- Doug loves me. We have a good relationship. You just don't understand the situation, because if Doug's such a bad guy, [begins to realize] and he... he left me on purpose, and he hurt me on purpose, that would mean... that would mean... Doug doesn't love me.
- All my life, I felt like I wasn't worth anything unless I heard those words, "Good boy". But they never came. Well, he needs to know he's hurt me. He needs to feel my pain. And he needs to pay for what he did with the only thing he truly loves! I'm gonna bite his dick off.
- Hey, gnome. I'm your father. It's so good to finally meet you. Even under these strange circumstances.
Bug
edit- You a stray. You can do anything you want.
- Regg, you can learn how beautiful it can be when you're off the leash.
- Oh, we going to fuck shit up.
- Alright, guys. Let's show these humans they can't toss us aside without facing some bad fucking consequences.
Maggie
edit- No, it's fine. Bella's young, and cute, and fun, so of course Jenna loves her more than me right now. And I get that.
- But what I really don't get is why Jenna thinks it's so adorable when she spins around in circles. Like I can do that in my sleep. You know what, it's totally fine. It's fine.
- [in Lassie-Style-Animation form] Shit! You look different, too.
Hunter
edit- God saw! He sees everything!
- That is just the classic toxic relationship. I should probably talk to him. I am a therapy dog.
- You look different.
- How so? Is it my human hands?
Dialogue
edit- Bug: Chester, for the last time, there’s no fucking fence there! Just come out with us!
- Chester: I can’t! I’m tellin’ you, there is a magical fence there! You just can’t see it!
- Hunter: Come on Chester!
- [Dogs chanting "Chester"]
- Chester: Honestly, that is persuasive and I don't know why. Oh, I can't believe I'm doing this.
- Maggie: Stop being a pussy and do this!
- Chester: Okay.
- [Chester runs]
- Maggie: Woo! Chester! Chester you got it!
- [dogs chanting "Chester" and Chester gets shocked and falls flatly]
- Bug: Goddamn!
- Hunter: It's real! The magic fence is real!
- Reggie: Yeah, well it is kinda awesome not having to hold my pee for ten hours until Doug lets me outside. [He and the other dogs walk away laughing, except for Hunter, who's still peeing.] And I like the sound of "legend" a lot more than "shitbag".
- Hunter: Guys, I'm still peeing.
- Maggie: Wait, is that really what he called you?
- Reggie: And I really don't miss roasting in the car when he stops at a store, and he leaves me with the windows cracked barely enough for me to stay conscious.
- Maggie: Wait, what?
- Reggie: And I'm just panting, gasping for air and trying to survive until he comes back in 45 minutes. Classic Doug. Too funny. [chuckles and sighs]
- Maggie: So, this guy neglects you, throws you on the street, and you still think he's a good guy?
- Reggie: Yeah. I mean, if Doug doesn't like me, why does he let me eat his leftover human food?
- Hunter: So he doesn't have to buy dog food.
- Bug: And why didn't he put a collar and tags on you?
- Reggie: Because he doesn't believe in labels.
- Bug: Oh, come on, Reg.
- Reggie: And the bandana he gave me is way more special than a collar, 'cause he used it for his penis sneezes.
- Maggie: Ew.
- Hunter: Ew.
- Reggie: Doug loves me. We have a good relationship. You just don't understand the situation, because if Doug's such a bad guy, [begins to realize] and he... he left me on purpose, and he hurt me on purpose, that would mean... that would mean... Doug doesn't love me. [short pause] Can, uh, you guys just give me a second?
- [Reggie walks away to think over and reconsider his relationship with Doug.]
- Maggie: [sighs] Poor little guy.
- Hunter: That is just the classic toxic relationship. I should probably talk to him. I am a therapy dog.
- Bug: Nah, give him some space. Kid's been through a lot.
- [Reggie flashbacks to all the times Doug abused, neglected and belittled him.]
- Doug: [in the flashbacks] That's what you fucking sound like, you piece of shit. [imitates barking] Oh, get off! Get-- Bad dog! BAD DOG! BAD DOG! Worst dog in the fucking world.
- [The flashback montage ends. Reggie walks back to the other Strays.]
- Maggie: Hey, Reggie. I know you're feeling hurt right now, and it's-- It must be so hard to figure out what to do.
- Reggie: I'm going back to Doug's.
- Maggie: What?!
- Bug: The fuck, man? What's it gonna take for you to understand that he's not playing a game with you?
- Reggie: And I'm not playing a game with him.
- Bug: Okay...?
- Reggie: All my life, I felt like I wasn't worth anything unless I heard those words, "Good boy". But they never came. Well, he needs to know he's hurt me. He needs to feel my pain. And he needs to pay for what he did with the only thing he truly loves! I'm gonna bite his dick off.
- Maggie: [surprised] Oh.
- Hunter: Wait, did he just say bite?
- Bug: Yeah, I'm still a little drunk, but did I just hear you say that you--
- Reggie: I said I'm gonna bite his dick off!
- Bug: Oh, I'm a hundred percent in for this.
- Doug: BAD FUCKING DOG!!!
- Reggie: You're goddamn right!
- [Reggie charges at Doug and bites Doug's penis off. Doug screams in pain, scratches his groin, and Hunter takes a dropping on Doug's face. The Strays leave Doug's burning house; as Doug gets out and falls down, we see blood stain on his pants, he cries in pain, and the telephone wire crashes on Doug's truck and explodes.]
- Reggie: Yeah, we should probably leave.
