• Rex Spaulding : [checking over Horrible]  What exactly did you have in mind?

  Rob Petrie : Well, we-we wanna... we want you to make him beautiful.

  Rex Spaulding : [looking back at Horrible]  And your second choice?

• Rex Spaulding : Once in every man's lifetime there comes a supreme challenge.

  Rob Petrie : You mean you'll take a shot at horrible?

  Rex Spaulding : A shot would be the humane thing to do.

• [Rob introduces the ugliest dog anyone's ever seen] 

  Rob Petrie : I got him at the dog pound. Isn't he ghastly? He's a stray.

  Buddy Sorrell : Stray, nothing. He missed completely.

• [last lines] 

  Rob Petrie : But aren't you proud you live in a country where a dirty, old poocock can end up living with a rich, young Freek.

• Sally Rogers : I think it's a fabulous idea, Rob. Really.

  Buddy Sorrell : What's so fabulous about it?

  Sally Rogers : It's a classic. They based "My Fair Lady" on it, stupid.

  Rob Petrie : Mel, what do you think?

  Mel Cooley : I agree with you and Sally. The idea's good and Buddy's stupid.
