[humming, chuckling]
Such a clever, lyrics.
[Rushes to Roger's study and Prances and Barks at Roger to get his attention]
After 5:00 already? Fancy that. [puts on his trench coat and trilby hat] All right, Pongo. All right, boy. [As soon as Roger puts the leash on Pongo, he takes off, heaving Roger through the front door. The scene slides away to see them traveling quickly through Regent's Park.] Pongo, boy, take it easy! What’s all the hurry? Pongo, boy, slow down.
[looks around the area and sees the pug from recently barking at a few pigeons to chase them away. The, the two bachelors. cross a bridge past the saluki and her master painting this scene of the park, narrating]
I was afraid we’d missed them. Perhaps they passed on by the park. Then, suddenly… I spotted them. It was a perfect situation if I planned it right. I couldn’t depend on Roger. I knew what he’d do. He’d settle on the grass, puff his pipe and that would be it. No, it was all up to me. Well. At first I had no particular plan, just anything to attract attention. You know, stir things up a bit. [goes ahead and grabs Roger's hat]
Pongo, you silly old thing! C’mon! C’mon, let’s have it, boy. Pongo! Pongo!
[Perdita and Anita look at Roger and Pongo fooling around with little amusement, as Roger retrieves his hat] [narrating]
For a while, it seemed to work. At least they had seen one another. Things were going along first-rate. But, for some strange reason, they left!
[narrating]
But I wasn’t giving up. I was determined that somehow they just had to meet. [heaves Roger and forces him to meet Anita just in time]
Oh!
Anita Radcliffe
Ohhh!
I beg your pardon. Please excuse me.
Anita Radcliffe
I must say, what on earth! Oh, really. Good heavens.
Oh, dear!
[Pongo is overly focused on his goal, that he accidentally ties their legs up with his leash. Perdita becomes alarmed at this and tries to free her mistress by holding onto her coat with her teeth, only to make things worse. Perdita accidentally rips off part of her mistress' coat, as Roger and Anita lose their balance and land into a nearby pond.]
Oh, oh.
Oh, my new spring suit and my new hat!
[helps Anita]
I’m terribly sorry. Please let me help you. I’m so sorry. I don’t know what’s come over him. I’m so sorry. He’s never acted this way before.
Anita Radcliffe
[annoyed]
Please, just go away! You’ve done enough. Please?
Oh. Oh, I say. Here, take mine.
Priest
[Anita and Roger share a laugh, as Perdita looks at Pongo lovingly. Pongo's plan of getting Roger to meet Anita works, as an iris shines on him, which turns into a stained glass cathedral window. Both couples are now at the church getting married]
Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in sickness and in health; and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her so long as ye both shall live?
I will.
[narrating]
For the first six months and so… we lived in a small house near the park. A modest little place, but just right for two couples who were just starting out.
[Pongo and Perdita are snuggling on the windowsill. Perdita sighs lovingly until Pongo wakes up to ask a question to her]
Perdita, darling, are you all right?
Oh, of course, dear. After all, dogs were having puppies long before our time. [licks Pongo on the face to reassure him, as a smile runs across his face]
[Just then, Nanny, Roger and Anita's housekeeper, enters with a platter with cupcakes, a tea pot, and tea cups on it] [narrating]
Oh, that’s Nanny, a wonderful cook and housekeeper. She’s such a kind, understanding soul. You know, at times she seems almost canine.
Anita Radcliffe
Roger, dear, tea time. Tea time!
[singing]
Be down in a minute. [comes out of his study, scatting and whistling to the lyrics of the song] Do you like my new song?
Anita Radcliffe
[scatting as well]
Such clever lyrics.
Melody first, my dear. And then, the lyrics, hmm?
[Roger and Anita rub noses and share a good laugh.]
[As Pongo and Perdita rest their heads on the windowsill, they hear a car coming] [scared]
Oh, Pongo… it’s her. It’s that devil woman.
Roder Radcliffe
[The car, a red-colored Alvis Speed 20 SD Standard Coupe-like model with headlights and bumpers that resemble a scowling face, rockets down the street, blaring its horn, and scares a flock of pigeons while turning a sharp left. Perdita runs away to hide, but Pongo sits there, boldly. The car comes to a sharp, complete stop by their flat]
Oh, must be Cruella, your dearly devoted old schoolmate. Cruella de Vil. That’s it! ♪Cruella de Vil, Cruella de Vil, If she doesn't scare you, No evil thing will... To see her is to, Take a sudden... chill! Cruella, Cruella de Vil. The curl of her lips, the ice in her stare. All innocent children had better beware. She's like a spider waiting, For the kill... Look out for Cruella de Vil!♪
Anita Radcliffe
Oh, Roger. Ohh! Roger, she’ll hear you! Let her in, Nanny.
Anita Radcliffe
How are you?
[gleefully]
Miserable, darling, as usual. Perfectly wretched! Where are they? Where are they? For heaven sakes, where are they?
Anita Radcliffe
Who, Cruella?
The puppies! The puppies. No time for games. Where are the little brutes?
Anita Radcliffe
It’ll be at least three weeks. No rushing these things.
Anita, you’re such a wit. Here, dog, here. Here, dog.
[angrily growls at Cruella]
Anita Radcliffe
Cruella, isn’t that a new fur coat?
My only true love, darling. I live for furs. I worship furs! Is there a woman in this wretched world who doesn’t?
Anita Radcliffe
Oh, I’d like a nice fur, but there are many other things…
Sweet, simple Anita. I know, I know! This horrid little house is your dream castle... [walks over to the coffee table and rudely sticks her cigarette in one of the cupcakes, ruining the frosting] And poor Roger is your bold and fearless Sir Galahad! [bursts out laughing]
Anita Radcliffe
Oh, Cruella...
Then, of course, you have your little spotted friends. Oh, yes, I must say, such perfectly beautiful coats.
Anita Radcliffe
Won’t you have some tea?
I’ve got to run. Let me know when the puppies arrive. You will, won’t you, dear?
Anita Radcliffe
Yes, Cruella.
Don’t forget, it’s a promise. See you in three weeks. Cheerio, darling. [shuts door]
Anita Radcliffe
Ohh!
Roger Radcliffe
♪At first you think, Cruella is the devil. But after time has worn, Away the shock... You come to realize, You've seen her kind of eyes, Watching you from underneath, A rock! This vampire bat, This inhuman beast, She ought to be locked up, And never released, The world was such, A wholesome place until, Cruella, Cruella de Vil!♪
That witch. That devil woman. She wants our puppies. That’s all she’s after.
Don’t worry, Perdy. They’re on to her. Nothing’s going to happen to our puppies.
But, what does she want with them? She can’t possibly love them. Oh, Pongo. I was so happy at first, but now I… [tears up] Oh, I… I wish we weren’t having any. [sobs]
[The camera fades out on them and jump cuts to Regent's Park at night. The two couples are standing on a hill overlooking the city. Pongo is barking loudly to get another dog's attention]
There’s no one out tonight. I’m afraid it’s too cold.
We’ve got to keep trying, Perdy." [hears barking nearby] Perdy, we’re in luck! It’s the Great Dane at Hampstead. [barks in response, which angers Roger]
Pongo, quiet, boy! Do you wanna stir up the whole neighborhood? Come on, Pongo.
Anita Radcliffe
Perdy, come on, girl!
Let’s go, boy. Oh, Pongo, you old idiot! Come on, now! We’re going home! [angrily drags Pongo to bring him home]
Scotty
[Fortunately, Pongo's idea to use the Twilight Bark works; Danny, a Great Dane, is barking a last minute response to Pongo, who barks back to him in reply. His friend, Scotty, a small Yorkshire Terrier, catches up with him]
What is it, Danny? Who’s on the telegraph?
Danny
It’s Pongo, Regents Park! It’s an all-dog alert.
Scotty
What’s it all about? What's the word? Tell me, Danny! Tell me, tell me! Tell me!
Danny
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Well, now… Hmm, that is something.
Scotty
What, Danny? What’s something?
Danny
15 Dalmatian puppies, stolen!
Scotty
Have they called the police? Scotland Yard?
Danny
The humans have tried everything. Now, it’s up to us dogs... and the Twilight Bark!
Scotty
I’ll sound the alert! [barks so loudly and rapidly that he bounces like a jackhammer and grips on the column to prevent himself from falling off]
Danny
Woof! Woof!
Dachshund
[Danny and Scotty bark long and loud, echoing throughout the neighborhood, where the message reaches a Dachshund coming out of his doghouse]
Ah! [goes to a drainpipe and barks the message up through the drainpipe, where it reaches Prissy's apartment. As Prissy's owner uses her as a model for her new art project, Prissy runs to the window and barks in reply, until her owner yanks her back inside]
Prissy's owner: Prissy, come in here!
Prissy
[ignores her master and runs to another window, where she relays the message across town. A corgi, the pug and other puppies bark in reply inside a pet shop window. Even Coco, the poodle from recently, participates in the Twilight Bark while she rides on top of her owner's limousine]
Coco's Owner: Coco! Be quiet now!
Man
[All the dogs in London bark, woof, and howl as they relay the message about Pongo and Perdy's fifteen stolen Dalmatian puppies being stolen, even they annoy the humans loudly]
Aw, shut up! Quiet! [angrily shouting] WILL YOU BE QUIET?!
Radio Singer
[Last lines, Roger and Anita are sitting back home in London while trying to celebrate Christmas. Roger's "Cruella de Vil" song has become a hit on the radio, but Roger is feeling gloomy about it as he sits in his armchair]
♪Is the devil, But after time has worn, Anyway the shock... You come to realize. You've seen her kind of eyes, Watching you from underneath, A rock! Cruella de Vil, Cruella de-♪
[shuts off the radio]
Anita Radcliffe
Roger, after all, that's your first big hit. It's made more money than we ever dreamed of.
Yes, I know. [walks over to their family portrait of Pongo and Perdita] I still can't believe that Pongo and Perdy would run away.
Nanny
[unhappily sets the tea]
Here's a bit of Christmas cheer for you, If there's anything to be cheerful about. Oh, those dear little things. Sometimes at night I can hear them barking, but it always turns out I'm dreaming. [hears barking sounds and rushes to the front door and sees the Dalmatians happily galloping inside, in their true furs]
Anita Radcliffe
[shocked]
Roger, what on earth?!
They're Labradors!
Nanny
Oh, no! They're covered with soot. [lovingly picks Lucky up] Look, here's Lucky!
Oh, Pongo, boy, is that you? Oh, Pongo, Pongo! Ho-ho! It's Pongo! [Pongo licks Roger's face]
Anita Radcliffe
And Perdy, oh, my darling! [snuggles with Perdita]
Nanny
And Patch, and Rolly, and Penny, and Freckles! They're all here, the little dears!
It's a miracle!
Anita Radcliffe
Oh, Roger, what a wonderful Christmas present!
Nanny
And, look! There's a whole lot more!
Look, Anita, puppies everywhere!
Anita Radcliffe

Anita Radcliffe
101 Dalmatians? My, where did they all come from?
Oh-ho, Pongo, you ol' rascal!
Anita Radcliffe
What'll we do with them?"
"We'll keep' em."
Anita Radcliffe
"In this little house?"
"We'll buy a big place in the country! We'll have a plantation; They call it We'll have a Dalmatian plantation!
Pongo, Perdita and puppies
[bark with happiness]
Anita Radcliffe
[hugs Roger]
Oh, Rog, that's truly an inspiration.
Nanny
It'll be a sensation!
Okay, We'll have a Dalmatian plantation.
Anita Radcliffe
We'll have a Dalmatian plantation.
Nanny
We'll have a Dalmatian plantation.
A Dalmatian plantation, I say. [sits at the piano and hits a few keys, hen plays and sings his new song] ♪We'll have a Dalmatian Plantation, Our own little place with a view. The peace and the quiet We'll identify it. As our little dream, that's come true! Imagine that rustic location. The hills and the evergreen trees. And meadows of clovers. To run on over. As free as the pine scented breeze. We'll snuggle close in the evening. In the glow of burning logs. And all night long. We'll hear the song of crickets and frogs. And there, we will grow and we'll prosper. And never again will we roam. Can't wait to begin our. Sweet living that's in our. Dalmatian Plantation home! We'll have a Dalmatian Plantation. Dalmatian Plantation, I say. Our life-long vacation. Complete resignation. To sweet relaxation and play. With all of our remuneration. Our station seems truly sublime. And that my vocation. I'll feel inspiration. With no obligation to time. I'll know we'll find consolation. In our new location, dear. And tails will wag. Within this aggregation, dear. With hearts full of pure jubilation. And no provocation to roam. [Rolly: I'm hungry, mother.] We'll spend life's duration. Among vegetation. Around our plantation home.♪
All
[Pongo and Perdita howl along as the chorus, followed by the puppies, as Nanny dances around]
♪ Dalmatian Plantation home! ♪
[As the celebration continues inside Roger and Anita's flat, the camera cuts outside and zooms out to focus on the skyline of London, as all the other dogs howl to celebrate the Dalmatians' return and their pets turn on their lights across the city.]
