Quotes

(At Middleton High, Kim opens her locker; which is filled with flowers)
Kim: Wade?
Wade: Morning, Kim. Did you get the flowers?
Kim: Uh, yeah.
Wade: There's an e-card. I'll stream it.
Seņor Senior Jr: My blue fox, I count the hours until my father's criminal activities bring us near again.
Wade: That is so beautiful! (laughs)
Kim: And so, yellow trout.
Ron: I don't want to hear another word about Animology! Ron Stoppable is no pink sloth!
Amelia: Phew! That's a relief. A pink sloth is supposed to be my soul mate.
Ron: Soul...?! Amelia! Wait! I'm a textbook sloth! Outcast, follower, socially inept! I smell like corn dogs! We're made for each other!
(edit)
Seņor Senior Jr: (from the mic in their helicopter) Kim Possible, you are the blue fox. I am the yellow trout. We are meant to be. We are... soul mates!
Seņor Senior Sr: Junior! Dating an arch foe is... spitting upon villain tradition.
Seņor Senior Jr: But, father!
Seņor Senior Sr: Back to the lair with you! Tradition dictates we must begin to plot our revenge immediately!
Kim: Wow. I think my blue foxiness just saved us.
Ron: That was weird.
Kim: I guess Animology isn't all bad. (edit)
Phillipe: Help! Anybody?
Kim: I'll get you! Okay, this is gonna get a little warm (heats up the door handle so his hand gets free).
Phillipe: Ow! You wouldn't want to dash in and fetch my caviar, would you? (Kim stares at him) I thought not.
Kim: Look out!
(a laser fires at them)
Seņor Senior Jr: Why did you not just aim the laser at their bodies?
Seņor Senior Sr: Junior, if you do not understand the traditions of villainy, I have failed as a father.
(Junior hear Ron's voice in his head)
Ron's voice: You blue foxes think you know everything.
Seņor Senior Sr: (prepares to shoot a rocket) Farewell, Kim Possible. It's been, as you say, a blast!
Ron's voice: You blue foxes... Blue foxes... Blue foxes...
Seņor Senior Jr: No!! You must not harm my blue fox! (he disrupts Sr.'s aim so the rockets hit the cryovator instead)
Seņor Senior Sr: Do you understand why I am angry?
(edit)
(Junior notices Kim and Ron from his helicopter)
Seņor Senior Jr: Did we not leave Kim Possible on a conveyor belt to her doom?
Seņor Senior Sr: Yes. A proper villain always leaves his foe when he's about to expire.
Seņor Senior Jr: Why?
Seņor Senior Sr: Well, it would be bad form just to lull about, waiting for it.
Seņor Senior Jr: Why?
Seņor Senior Sr: Tradition! (he also notices Kim) She's really testing my patience, this Kim Possible.
(edit)
(Kim and Ron arrive at the Billionaire's Club island)
Kim: Wade, what have you got?
Wade: This giant cryovator's solar-powered. No plug to pull!
Kim: So what can we do?
Wade: Destroy it?
Ron: Follow the money? (edit)

Trivia

add »
While on the conveyor belt, Kim's gloves briefly disappear. (edit)
When Kim and Ron are on the conveyer belt, they pass the same set of stairs three times. (edit)
Ron and Kim board Pop Pop Porter's "big 'lil corndog" in their normal outfits, without any extra baggage, save for Kim's backpack. In the next shot they appear in (presumably after the ride), they're both wearing their mission outfits. I know cargo pant pockets are big, but big enough to hold entire outfits? And as long as I'm here, Kim's backpack vanishes in the shot where the blimp lands, just before Ron walks over to it. (edit)
During the segment where Ron's trying to convince Kim how great Animology is, the spine of the book he's holding changes sides several times. (edit)
As Kim says "Seņor Senior, Jr." after Wade gets the air quality anaylisis, her shirt sleeves are longer than they should be (down past her gloves). (edit)

Allusions

add »
Jerry Maguire:

Seņor Senior, Sr. alludes to Jerry Maguire when he says "Ah Kim Possible, you complete me." (edit)
Watergate:

"Follow the Money"- Ron's Quote is reference to the secret source (Deep Throat) who leaked information concerning the Watergate scandal. (edit)
M&M's:

Pop-Pop Porter's mini corn dog commercial, in which a smiling corn dog dives into a pool of batter and stands under a flash freezer beam, is not dissimilar -- even in styling -- to a classic black-and-white M & M's commercial, in which, if memory serves, a smiling peanut dives into a pool of chocolate and stands under a candy-coating shower.
