Quotes 

• Blossom : Okay, Fuzzy. Prepare to get stomped!

  [Back to him in the tub; he is lost under a sudden splash of water: the girls' impact against the tub. When it clears, Buttercup is ready to deck him] 

  Buttercup : This is for anything you broke!

  [She hits him] 

  Blossom : [pulling his antennas]  this is for anyone you hurt!

  Bubbles : [holding his banjo, she raises it over her head]  And this is for taking a bath!

  [She swings the hit knocks him beneath the surface of the water, which begins to bubble] 

  Buttercup : Uh-Oh. I think maybe he was just taking a bath.

  Bubbles : Fuzzy...?

  Bubbles : Um... We didn't mean to...

  [Fuzzy rises from his bath, towering above them, beeting red with anger. They look up at him and smile and giggle nervously] 

  Bubbles : I guess you weren't going crazy. You were just taking a bath.

  [All three giggle and inch away to one side before dashing off at top speed. Back to the exterior of the house as they fly in, then to the girls in front of the TV. In the background, the Professor is still on the phone; we hear the dial tone again] 

• Mojo Jojo : [Mojo is sleeping with a newspaper over his face on his recliner chair. After several seconds of silence, the girls crash in through the ceiling, jolting him awake]  Wha...?

  [the girls start pounding on him. From his chair, he yells at them] 

  Mojo Jojo : What is the meaning of...

  [the end of the sentence is cut off when Blossom shoves the back of the chair down onto him, squashing him. Buttercup picks the chair up and throws it against a wall. It falls to the floor and lands on its back, leaving him looking up at the girls] 

  Blossom : Don't play dumb. We know you've got some evil plot underway!

  Mojo Jojo : What are you talking about?

  Buttercup : Oh, like you don't have a giant robot ready to smash Townsville

  Mojo Jojo : No.

  Blossom : No diabolical plans to destroy the world?

  Mojo Jojo : No.

  Bubbles : Turn everyone into zombies and you scare people!

  Mojo Jojo : Oh, for crying out loud. No! I had no intention of committing any crimes today.

  Blossom : Then what were you doing before we got here?

  Mojo Jojo : Sleeping!

  Buttercup : Before that?

  Mojo Jojo : Reading the paper!

  Blossom : [deflated]  Oh.

  [Long pause] 

  Blossom : Well... You better behave yourself, or we'll be back.

  Mojo Jojo : [sarcastically]  Oh goodness. I better not snore.

• Woman : Hello?

  Big Billy : [long silence]  Hi.

  Woman : Who is this?

  Big Billy : [long silence]  Billy.

  [Ace puts his hand to his forehead] 

  Woman : Billy who?

  Woman : Hey, is this some kind of crank call?

  Big Billy : [long silence]  Yes.

  Woman : Well, it's not a very good one.

  Big Billy : I'm sorry.

  Ace : [grabs the phone away]  Aw, come on, gimme that!

  [into phone] 

  Ace : Uh... Prince Albert, the fridge!

  [He hangs up; The Gang's side expands to full screen] 

  Ace : That was pathetic!

  Lil' Arturo : We're sorry Ace! We can be funnier!

  Ace : Nah, it ain't the jokes, it's the pranks. They're too small-time. We're the Gangreen Gang, for cryin' out loud! We need somethin' big. Somethin' this whole city will never forget!

  [He sighs and thinks for a moment. During the next line, pulls back slowly to show them gathered outside Townsville Hall] 

  Ace : Boys... I think I got it!
