Ruby Deagle is the secondary antagonist of Gremlins. She is the greedy mortgage owner of Kingston Falls.
What makes her Hate Sink?[]
- Already wealthy from her deceased husband's swindling business practices, she wants to foreclose all the homes in the town so she can sell the land to the Hitox chemical factory, who want to tear it down and make a toxic landfill, destroying the town and leaving everyone homeless just to make herself even richer, not caring about all the people this would leave homeless.
- A deleted scene reveals that many people in the town lost their jobs because of her, as she shut down the noodle factory where many of them worked. She deliberately took advantage of the fact that they could no longer pay their mortgages due to a lack of income because of this and had them evicted.
- She is introduced rudely telling someone "What's good about it?" when he wishes her good morning. She than rudely tells people to watch it as she makes her way down the street.
- Upon being approached by a struggling mother with two sick and starving children, who begs her to give them an extension on their mortgage, Deagle refuses and calls her a deadbeat. When the mother pleads with her that it's Christmas, Deagle tells her that now the mother knows what to ask Santa for.
- She rudely cuts in line and pushes a man out of her way to speak to Billy.
- She approaches Billy, revealing that his dog Barney broke her snowman decoration. Billy asks how much he owes Deagle, but Deagle refuses money, demanding Barney so she can take him to the vet and have him put down. She threatens Billy by saying that if he doesn't give her Barney right now, she'll take him when Billy can't protect him from her and give him a horrible death by throwing him in her spin dryer and turning the heat on high.
- She keeps a glass of freezing water to throw on Christmas carolers because she hates them. Throwing freezing water on people during winter is a form of assault.
- She is even worse in the novelization. In the novelization, instead of wanting Barney dead because he broke her snowman decoration, she wants him dead because he bit her nephew Douglas. Thing is, Douglas was a psychotic little brat who tried to burn Barney's tail off with a propane torch.
