Scene Script

Baroness: Who are you? You look vaguely familiar.

Cruella: I look stunning. I don't know about familiar, darling.

Baroness: Your hair, is it real?

Cruella: Black and White Ball. I like to make an impact.

Baroness: Right. What was your name?

Cruella: Cruella.

Baroness: Oh.

Cruella: Mmm.

Baroness: That's quite fabulous. And you designed this?

Cruella: You did, actually. 1965 collection.

Baroness: Oh, no wonder I love it, it's mine.

Cruella: I fixed it.

Baroness: Oh, sit. Do, I insist. I'm intrigued, and that never happens.

Yes. Aren't they gorgeous? And vicious. It's my favorite

combination. What do you want? I mean, you clearly wanted to

get my attention.

Cruella: I want to be like you. You're a very powerful woman.

Baroness: Let me give you some advice. If you need to talk about power,

Cruella: Well, I don't have it, which is why I need to talk about it, which is why

I'm here. Am I going to have to catch you up a lot, or can you keep up?

Baroness: You're funny.
