Cruella (2021) - Quotes

John: [In a flashback, the Baron hears his wife screaming and grunting from upstairs and runs up to check on her; voiceover] The Baron was a sweet old guy. The Baroness, on the other hand, she's a true narcissist. So when she found out she was pregnant…

Baroness: I'm pregnant.

John: …She wasn't exactly thrilled. The Baron was delighted. So much so that he surprised her by giving her a family heirloom. She took the necklace, but she had other plans for you.

Cruella: [interrupting] Stop. You keep saying "you.

John: You are her daughter. I was there when you were born. The Baron was away on business, and she ordered me to do the unthinkable.

Baroness: [to John] You know what to do.

John: It was a diabolical request. I knew I needed to protect you. But how? Then I saw Catherine, the sweetest woman who ever lived. She saved you. The Baroness said the child had died. The Baron, he, uh, wasted away. The point I'm making is, you are the rightful heir to the Baron's entire fortune. The mansion, the title. Everything.
