Dr. Drakken: With this teleportation module, I shall be able to instantly transport myself into any high-security area I please! Think of the possibilites, Shego! Fort Knox! The Louvre
Shego: Or into the "10 Items or Less" line? With 11 items, huh?
Dr. Drakken: Exactly! Wait. Was that a serious suggestion or are you mocking me?
Shego: Yeah, I'd say about 30% serious, 70% mock. (edit) Kim: (to Drakken) Which part of "she can do anything" do you not comprehend? (edit) Dr. Drakken: (describing this episode's death device for Kim, displaying charts) First, you will be sealed inside a reinforced, titanium box. The box shall then be dropped into this bottomless chasm. Next, I will fill the chasm with water. Then, sharks and a man-eating squid will be released into the water, and finally, I will freeze over the top of the water with a 6-foot-thick sheet of ice. . .
Shego: Wait, wait, wait, wait... If the chasm is "bottomless," how can you fill it with water?
(pause)
Dr. Drakken: It's very, very deep, all right?! (edit) Ron: You can be Kimbo the clown! (edit) Ron: Lets stick to the facts. Fact 1, you are signed up. Fact 2, you won't give Bonnie the satisfaction of backing out now.
Kim: Fact 3, I know 16 styles of Kung Fu!
Ron: You really need to take this unproductive anger you're feeling toward me and channel it into your act. (edit)

Interestingly, this is only the second and most recent time Kim has sung during an episode. This is in sharp contrast with Christy Carlson Romano's more frequent performances as Ren on the show Even Stevens.
(edit)
The close captioning refers to Drakken as 'Draken'.
(edit)
When Drakken says "Imagine it, Shego!" his collar is blue.
(edit)
When Kim dials a number on the teleportation module, the gold thing disappears.
(edit)
When Kim told Bonnie she was rehearsing, Kim was on the stage. But when Bonnie played the film, all of the sudden, Kim is in a seat next to Ron. And when Kim told Bonnie "That was a long time ago," Kim is once again standing.

Transportulator:
Despite what he may think, Dr. Dementor is not the first to create this device. The precursor device is the "Modemizer", created by Professor Norton Nimnul almost 20 years ago in the Rescue Rangers episode A Fly in the Ointment. (edit) Thunderball:
Drakken's plan mirrors Largo's trap in Thunderball
In Hidden Talent:
Dr. Drakken puts Kim in a box under water and seals off the top of the water with ice, sharks are then released into the water through trap doors. Also, Kim uses her class ring from Wade as a re-breather to swim to safety.
In James Bond 007 Thunderball:
James is fighting with a henchman when they both fall into a swimming pool. Largo, the villain activates a cover that slides over the water trapping them. he then opens a trap door to his shark tank which then lets the sharks into the pool who then eat the henchman.
007 escapes by using the rebreather disguised as a cigar case that "Q" gave to him earlier in the movie.
(he swims through the door the sharks came through, rather than breaking out of the top of the water though) (edit) M. C. Honey:
Reference to the 80s rapper M. C. Hammer, who popularised the "baggy pants" look. He dropped out of the scene in the late 90s, along with a bankruptcy filing. He's currently an ordained minister and can be seen in the reality show The Surreal Life. (edit) Marcel Marceau:
The costumes worn by Ron and Rufus while doing their mime act (walking against the wind) are replicas of the costume worn by famous mime Marcel Marceau (the wind routine his trademark routine). (edit) Michael Jackson:
During Kim's performance, she has on only one glove, much like the way Michael Jackson used to perform wearing one glove. (edit)
