Diane Foxington : I gave you an opportunity! A chance to show the world that you're more that just a scary stereotype! But you're too proud or too gutless to take advantage of it!
Mr. Wolf : Gutless? I'm gutless? I'm sorry, have we met? I'm the villain of every story! Guilty until proven innocent! Even if by some miracle we did change, who's gonna believe us? Huh? Of course you wouldn't know anything about that, with your little Miss Perfect power suits!
Diane Foxington : Is that so?
[holds up the ring Mr. Wolf stole from her]
Mr. Wolf : Wait a second, what did... How did you...?
Diane Foxington : A wolf and a fox are not so different. Maybe they will believe you, maybe they won't. But it doesn't matter. Don't do it for them. Do it for you. This is a chance to write your own story. To find a better life for you and your friends. Come on, what have you got to lose?
Mr. Wolf : I don't know, my dignity?
Diane Foxington : Yeah, well, that ship has already sailed.
[walks off]
Diane Foxington : Believe it or not, I'm rooting for you, Wolf.

Diane Foxington : How did you learn to do that?
Tarantula : Oh, you know. I'm kind of a natural... mostly YouTube.

Professor Marmalade : Wait!
Police Chief Misty Luggins : Uh, beg... beg pardon?
Professor Marmalade : Mr. Wolf may be a savage beast. Basically walking garbage. Sorry, I'm making a point.
Mr. Wolf : Do what you need to do, pal.
Professor Marmalade : But how can we say they're hopeless if they've never been given a chance? What if... what if we tried a little experiment, Diane? As you know, my Gala for Goodness, the "hashtag charity event of the year," is coming up. If I can prove to everyone at that gala that the Bad Guys have changed, will you set them free and give them a clean start?
[Crowd Gasps]
Police Chief Misty Luggins : What? Professor Marmalade!
Mr. Wolf : [Falls on the ground] Ow!
Police Chief Misty Luggins : No, no, no, no, no. Do you see what he's doing? He's playing you!
Professor Marmalade : But it was my idea.
Mr. Wolf : It WAS his idea.
Police Chief Misty Luggins : But only because you made him have it! Madam Governor, you can't just let them go.
Diane Foxington : Professor, I'm not about to put the safety of the city on the line for an experiment.
Mr. Wolf : Excuse me, Madam Governor. I seem to remember that a wise person once said, "Even trash can be recycled into something beautiful."
Diane Foxington : [sighs] Ok, I'm game. But only because it's you, Professor.
Police Chief Misty Luggins : No!
Diane Foxington : We'll hold on to the Dolphin until the gala. Just to remove any unnecessary temptation.
Professor Marmalade : Of Course. Good thinking. That's why you're governor.
Professor Marmalade : [Hands the Golden Dolphin to Diane] Now that everyone's happy...
Police Chief Misty Luggins : Not happy!
Professor Marmalade : ...I, Rupert Marmalade the Fourth, will turn the Bad Guys into... the Good Guys!
[Crowd gasps]
Mr. Wolf : [Tosses handcuffs to Police Chief] I think these belong to you.
Police Chief Misty Luggins : Hey!
Diane Foxington : Not everyone gets a second chance. Make the most of it, Mr. Poodleton.
Mr. Wolf : [Closes door]

Diane Foxington : [as The Crimson Paw, uncovers hoodie]
Mr. Wolf : [all] Diane?
Piranha : But how do you know how to do all that kick kick punch punch?
Mr. Wolf : Wait a sec, you're The Crimson Paw? The queen of cons, acrobatic swiss army knife; stole the Zumpango diamond, twice, once for profit second time just for fun. Never identified, never caught.
Diane Foxington : [Chuckles] Guess I'm still the best bad guys the world has ever seen.
Diane Foxington : [Looks at rip on suit] Ugh. At least I used to be

Diane Foxington : Do not Clooney me, Wolf.

Mr. Wolf : You gotta be kidding me.
Diane Foxington : What? I'm sentimental.
