The Bad Guys

Mr. Wolf

  • [from trailer] When it came to being bad, we were pretty good. Who am I kidding? We're the best.
  • I am never driving another car ever again…! [smash cut to him driving in a more tacky and rundown vehicle in the present]
  • Things sure have changed. Not everyone believes it, but The Bad Guys went good. And we cannot wait for society to welcome us with open arms!
  • [Craig: And now you wanna work at a bank?] Why not? Some of my best memories are at banks. [Craig: Uh, you robbed us three times.] [Beat] That was this bank?
  • You say the naughtiest things.
  • [from trailer] Maybe you don't keep up with the news, but we're good now.
  • Alright, Mr. Master of Disguise, you're up.
  • Trust me, there's a difference. Respect is earned. One day you'll learn that.
  • We need to show the world we're good.
  • You're about to discover why they call me the big bad wolf!
  • First time for everything, right?
  • Not bad. Not bad at all.

Mr. Snake

  • [Tarantula: Is she your hostage?] No. She's my girlfriend.
  • I'm late for vinyasa. [Shark: Vinyasa?] You think I got this body by sitting around watching TV?
  • [after he gets tied into a balloon animal by Pigtail; sarcastically] Great.
  • We brought you a little parting gift.
  • Vinyasa, baby!
  • You're not nervous, right? 'Cause we know what happens when you're nervous.
  • Stop farting, you maniac!

Mr. Piranha

  • [from trailer] So you're like the Bad Girls.
  • Sounds kind of made-up.
  • Why is she in his mouth?!
  • So, are we bad again?
  • Tear him apart limb by limb until all he can remember is pain!
  • [farts] Sorry. Sorry, nerves.
  • Stay with me, papo! Stay with me!

Mr. Shark

  • [Wolf: What?! What was that?!] I panicked, okay?! I'm a panicker!
  • Insult me next!
  • I'm a little rusty, but I promise to play you respectfully. [in Italian accent] Mamma mia! Where's-a my flowers-a? Prego! Cappuccino! Extra grande!
  • WELCOME!!! WELCOME TO THIS BEAUTIFIUS, MAJESTACULAR, INCREDIMONIUS OCCASION! WHOOOOO!!!
  • One of your size, and one of my size!
  • You ever been deboned by a chicken?

Ms. Tarantula aka "Webs"

  • How are supposed to get a fresh start if no one would trust us?
  • Name's Webs. I'll be your hacker today.
  • We're classy like that.
  • It's like a freaking fairy tale.
  • Are you kidding me?! Lefty-loosey, righty-tighty.

The Bad Girls

Kitty Kat

  • Once upon a time, there was a big bad "wuff".
  • They call me the Phantom Bandit, but you can call me Kitty Kat. You met my girls.
  • We need the bad guys for the biggest heist in history!
  • [from trailer] I'm not exactly asking.
  • You know, you think they're one thing but it turns out they’re something else entirely.
  • Play along and Diane's secret is safe, or don't, and you, the good life, it all comes crashing down.

Doom

  • You talk pretty tough for a mango with teeth.
  • You're a grumpy little snakey-wakey.
  • I'm pulling your whiskers, whiskers.
  • It's just business.

Pigtail

  • Hello! [Tarantula: Holy shrimp!] I'm Pigtail! It was great honor to kick the butts of my heroes. The butts we’re even greater than in my dreams.
  • Big crime nerd!
  • Initiating backwards counting.

Diane Foxington

  • [Wolf: I'm sorry, did you say you were the CRIMSON PAW?!?!] [kicks him] Sorry, I didn't quite catch that.
  • I'm more of an action girl.
