• Ozzie : But this house is like a fortress. Walls, so high. Doors, impenetrable. How will we get in?

  RJ : The collar is the key.

  [Shows video on cell phone of Tiger entering door] 

  RJ : Literally, the collar is like a key that opens the door, and if...

  Stella : And what? You think he's just gonna hand over his collar to you?

  RJ : Not to me, my femme fatale. To you.

  Verne : Her?

  Stella : Me?

  RJ : You, Stella, will get that cat to give you his collar by using...

  Stella : My stink.

  RJ : ...your feminine charms.

  Hammy the Squirrel : Ha ha ha! - Was that out loud?

• Stella : So, you got a name?

  Tiger : Yes. It is a Persian name, for I am Persian. I was born Prince Tigeriess Mahmood Shabaz.

  Stella : Ooh, that's a mouthful. Can I just call you Tiger?

• Stella : I'm gonna gas you so hard your grandchildren will stink!

• Tiger : Shoo, go on, get away from here. My owner does not give scraps to common strays.

  Stella : Common strays? Alright, you asked for it...

  [turns and raises rear] 

  RJ : [whispers]  Get the collar!

  Stella : Gee, that's a nice collar you got on. Mind if I have a look?

  Tiger : No-no-no-no-no! Come no closer! I must not be so near a creature of the outdoor woods.

  [sneezes] 

  Tiger : Away with your filth!

  Stella : My filth? My *filth*?

  Penny : Oh jeepers here we go.

  Stella : Okay, that's it. I'm sick and tired of everybody taking one look at me and running away 'cause they think I'm filthy. Well I got news for you: I didn't get primped and preened to have some overfed, pompous puffball tell me he's too good for me. I've got makeup on my *butt*, dude! And you don't even want to know about the cork!

  Tiger : Stop! No one has *ever* spoken to me like that!

  [others gasp] 

  Tiger : It is bold... I like it.

  Stella : Yeah? Well, there's more where that came from, uh... puffball!

  [Leads him away from the door] 

  Tiger : You're strong. Your essence is overpowering.

  Stella : [pushes tail down]  Wh-what do you mean by that?

  Tiger : It is your eyes.

  Stella : My eyes?

  Tiger : They are... luminous.

  Stella : Luminous... Dang.

• Stella : [to Tiger]  Look, its not you. It... it won't work, OK? Because I'm a... a...

  Gladys : [walks in, sees Stella]  *Skunk!*

  Stella : Yeah, that.

• Stella : You mean you don't mind the smell?

  Tiger : This face was bred for Beauty. I cannot smell a thing.

• Stella : I got makeup on my butt, dude!

• Stella : [Stamping toward the hedge, getting into her "firing" position]  All right, Steve... you brought this on yourself!

• Stella : [to Verne]  Oh, so we're supposed to go hungry just because your butt's vibrating!

• RJ : Now, the traps are set here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Here, here, here, here, big one here, here, and maybe a few over here.

  Stella : Gee, it's that all?

  RJ : No. There's bunch of red lights all over here. You OK, Verne? Look a little green.

  Verne : I blacked out for a second there, but... I get the idea: there's lights, traps and I might need to change my shell.

• Stella : Don't even ask about the cork!

• Verne : Come on, you guys!

  [Tries to be intimidating] 

  Verne : Don't make me come in there!

  Stella : [Heard beneath the leaves]  Y'all better listen... I've been holding something in all winter and I'm about to LET IT OUT!

  Penny : [Animals scatter from under leaves]  Whoa!

  Ozzie : She means it!

  [as the leaves and dust settles, Stella is shown in her "firing" position] 

  Verne : [Politely and grateful]  Thank you, Stella!

  Stella : [Nonchalantly]  Oh, I can clear a room, Verne. That much I can do!
