Character
Dialogue
Am I the only one in this family who realizes we're now living in a doggy dystopia?
Gotta live somewhere.
All our regular stores now only sell dog clothes!
I hear the new fall muzzles are out. You should try one.
Dad, are you just gonna sit and watch TV while the people of Springfield are getting imprisoned?
Eh, there's nothing else good on.
I'll bet if you save Wiggum from the kennel, he'll cancel all your outstanding parking tickets.
*gasp* I'm in!
*gasp* Me too!
I thought you didn't care about any of this? Oh, wait. You have FOMO, don't you?
I do not! I just have a fear of missing out!

Dialogue
Laddie, you're gonna hold up your end of the bargain, right? I broadcast your demands and you make me the new mayor in your doggy dystopia. I mean...utopia.
*bark* *bark* *woof* *ruff* You should just do what I tell you and I won't give your mansion to the corgi gang, you bloated local news hack. *woof*
What did he say?
He said it's a deal.

Character
Dialogue
*whimper* *whimper* I've found my true love in Rosa Barks, but she wants to enslave humans, including my family. *whimper*
*whimper* *whimper* How can I possibly choose between them? *whimper*
*whimper* But I must. *whimper*
Santa's Little Helper seems really depressed today.
Yeah, I've never seen him hold a sad expression for three straight dialogue boxes!
We should take him to the veterinarian.
No way! I'm not giving that guy another two hundred bucks just to tell me my dog's breath stinks.
He was saying that about you.
*annoyed grumble*

Character
Dialogue
Your dog has a classic case of down-in-the-dumps-dog-itis.
Is that a real thing?
It's not. But I need a disease name in order to bill you for this visit.
What could Santa's Little Helper possibly be sad about? Too much dog butt sniffing? Not enough dog butt sniffing?
By the look in his eyes, I'd say... He's torn between two loves.
One, a familial love. Long lasting and pure. The other, romantic. Passionate and tender. He knows he cannot have both.
Wow, you really understand dog psyche.
Or...your dog's got indigestion.

Character
Dialogue
Santa's Little Helper seems to be in a better mood.
*bark* *woof* Because I've chosen my family! I will help you defeat the dogs, including my love, Rosa Barks! *ruff*
Why is he scratching at the closet door? *opens door*
What is it, boy? What's in there? A treat? One of your toys?
*bark* *ruff* I'm trying to show you how to defeat the dogs! *bark*
I don't get it.
*bark* I'm literally pointing right at it. *woof*
*gasp* This stupid dog has inadvertently shown me exactly how to defeat the dogs!
*woof* Oh, brother.

Character
Dialogue
Mr. Burns, are you concerned about keeping the hounds locked up while all the other dogs are taking over the town?
Why should that bother me?
Well, the hounds might want to escape to run free with their own kind.
Smithers, how many times have I ordered you to release the hounds?
So many times. It makes my head spin.
And they always come back. Do you know why?
The same reason I keep coming back. They know who their master is.
Yes, let's not forget that. Now SIT! Roll over! Play dead!

Character
Dialogue
And it all comes down to this, folks. Half of Springfield is NOT locked in the dog kennel and marches to save the other half that IS locked in.
*bark* *bark* Heh, heh, heh. *woof*
Laddie trots out to meet them and laughs diabolically... I think.
Give us all our people back! Or at least that kid that loads me up at the Krusty Burger drive-thru!
*bark* *bark* First you must pledge fealty to your doggy overlords! *woof*
The time for translating woofs and barks is over! Springfielders, prepare to attack!
Pull out the dog's greatest enemy – the VACUUM! *pulls out vacuum*
*pulls out vacuum*
*pulls out vacuum*
*yelp* *yelp*
I think we all understand a yelp when we hear one. No translation necessary!
All the World's a Cage Pt. 5[]

Character
Dialogue
All the dogs have retreated into the woods. All thanks to Santa's Little Helper pointing out the vacuum in our closet!
Your Hoovers, Bissells, and Eurekas saved me!
Not me. I'm staying here to live in the doggy cages.
Okay, Ralphie. Why don't I put on your leash and we'll go for a walk...home. Your mother must be worried sick.
Meh.
Nobody puts a leash on Danger Dog!
Danger Dog can get a bath on the front lawn if he comes home.
Yay, lawn bath!
The dogs will be back soon. Wish we had a dozen vacuums — those robotic Roombas with the AI that can be set in "Dog Defense" mode.
We don't have the budget for that. We can afford one cleaning lady with a mop for half a day.
