Well, won't you come in? We were just about to have some cheese.
Wendolene Oh no, not cheese. Sorry, it brings me out in a rash. I can't stand the stuff.

11 scenes Wendolene Wendolene Ramsbottom Your dog's waiting.
Aye, I'd better see to him. The bounce has gone from his bungee.
Wendolene Ramsbottom Stop it. Stop it, Preston! Oh, I want no more of this rustling. It wasn't so bad when it was just the wool, but this is evil! Daddy didn't create you for this. You're supposed to protect me!
Wendolene Ramsbottom [Preston locks her away with Shaun on the back of the truck]
Let me out! You're not turning me into dog meat!
Wendolene Ramsbottom He's malfunctioning.
Mal-what?
Wendolene Ramsbottom Malfunctioning. Preston is a cyberdog.
Cyber-what?
Wendolene Ramsbottom A robot. Daddy created him for good, but he's turned out evil.
Well, I don't know, there's something very fishy going on. [Gromit sniffs; sees the bitten hole of the newspaper] Huh? Do you think we should get the pest control people in? [telephone ringing; picks up the reciever] Hello, Wallace & Gromit's Wash'n'Go Window Cleaning Service. May we be of assistance?
Wendolene [on the phone]
Hello. Yes, my windows could do with a jolly good clean. The wool shop in the high street. Soon as you can.
On our way, madam!
Need wool, don't you, lad?
Wendolene [Bell rings]
Thank you for coming so quickly.
Wendolene Oh, allow me, please.
Oh, I'm sorry. Oh! I'll soon have these cleared up. There's no trouble. How embarrassing.
Wendolene This is Preston, my dog.
All right, pooch. [they began to pick up balls of yarn] Won't take a minute.
Both
[accidentally touched their hands together]
Oh.
Wendolene What was it you wanted?
Wendolene Ramsbottom, Wendolene Ramsbottom.
Oh, charming. I'm Wallace...the windows. Is this place yours?
Wendolene Mm-hmm. My father left it to me, along with his debts, and a few other things. He was an inventor.
Never! Well, I do a bit of that meself.
Wendolene Oh!
I see they still haven't caught those sheep rustlers yet. Still, you've got plenty of wool, eh?
Wendolene [stands up]
Your dog's waiting.
Aye. I'd better see to him. The bounce has gone from his bungee. [gives her the rest of the yarn balls]
Wendolene Oh, they're spanking. You've done a grand job.
Windows are our specialty. [accidentally slams onto the window door]
Wendolene Tell me about windows.
It's only temporary, you understand.
Wendolene Oh, really?
Oh, yes, I'm inventing mostly. Only...
Wendolene Oh, what sort of inventions?
Well, sort of...
Wendolene Daddy would loved to have met you. Poor daddy.
Wendolene I'm sorry about this.
For what?
Wendolene Nothing. Just stay away from me, from my shop, and my silly, silly windows.
I...well, I...
Wendolene [tearfully, voice breaking]
Forget me. I'm no good for you. [walks away] I'm so sorry about Gromit. [sobs as she continues to walk]
Wendolene Wallace, help me!
Don't worry, Wendolene! Everything's under control!
Wendolene I couldn't pass by without saying thank you. [pushes the buttons on the remote control, and the fixed-up and reformed Preston rolls by] He's just like he used to be.
Oh, don't mention it. [Preston gives him a newspaper] Thanks, pooch. Give me a shout if he goes wrong again.
Wendolene You're very kind.
Well, won't you come in? We were just about to have some cheese.
Wendolene Oh, no! Not cheese. Sorry. It brings me out in a rash. Can't stand the stuff.
Wendolene Got to be on our way. Come on, Preston. [a sad Wallace goes back inside; pets Preston] Good-bye... Chuck. [walks off with Preston]
