- Jock: Who are you to barge in?
Tramp: The voice of experience buster. - Tramp: Boy just wait until Junior gets here. You get the urge for a nice comfortable scratch and “put that dog out! He’ll get fleas all over the baby!”. You start barking at some strange mutt (barks). “Stop that racket! You’ll wake the baby!”. And then, then they hit you in the room and board department. Oh, remember those nice, juicy cuts of beef?

Tramp: Haha, and by lucky coincidence, you see before you, modeled by the lovely little lady, the new, improved, patented, handy-dandy, never-fail little giant log puller. The busy beaver’s friend!
Beaver: You don’t say!
Tramp: Guaranteed not to wear, tear, rip or ravel. Turn around, sister, and show the customer the merchandise. And it cuts log-hauling time sixty-six percent!
Beaver: Sixty-six percent, eh? Figure that! Well, how’s it work? - Tramp: I had a home and a family. I had it all. They loved me and I loved them. And then, one day, it all changed. I waited in that spot all day and all night.

Live-Action Lady and the Tramp Quotes (2019)

- Tramp: I had a home. I had a family. I had it all. They loved me. And I loved them.

Lady: Don’t you say that. You have value to me. I missed you.
Tramp: Missed you, too.
Lady: Sometimes I come outside at night just to howl at the moon.

- Jock: You’ve got incontinence from your mouth.
- Tramp: I’m free to be myself and by myself.
- Lady: Replaced by a baby? It makes no sense! Can a baby provide him and Darling with a sense of wholeness and a reason to live?

- Lady: You know, street dogs are just like us. They just aren’t lucky enough to have homes. That’s all.
