Cruella meets the Baroness

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, you don't have it.
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.
