(in the monkey shrine, the monkey ninjas is standing in front of the altar)
Monkey Monk: Um, hello, this is a little embarrassing, but I must correct one thing in my last message. Apparently some of us don't write very clearly (points to the monkey on his shoulder) . Anyway, when I said the leader of the Monkey Ninjas would be unstoppable what I should have said was that the leader will be Ron Stoppable. My bad. Hope that didn't cause too much confusion. (edit)
(after Monkey Fist is arrested)
Monkey Fist : But I was to be the ultimate monkey master! I was to be unstoppable!
Ron: Dude, it's not happening, get used to it.
Monkey Fist: Monkey Ninjas, attack!
Frank: Monkey what?
Ron: His legion of monkey ninjas. We captured them too.
Frank: Sorry, pal. There are no... "monkey ninjas" on board.
Monkey Fist: I taught them the way of the ninja and now they abandon me. NOOOOOO!
Ron: So, the monkey ninjas just vanished?
Rufus: Coo-coo. (edit)
(Kim and Ron return home from the mission)
Ron: Since when do you know how to fly a spacecraft?
Kim: It's no big. I watched Frederick on the way up.
(they exit the spaceship)
All kids: Yeah! Woo-hoo!
Mr. Dr. Possible: Welcome back, Kimmie. You were great!
Girl: Oh, Kim, I want to be just like you when I grow up.
Mr. Dr. Possible: I admit it, she's grown up.
Kim: Not completely, Dad.
Mr. Dr. Possible: True, which means we've got some new rules to cover. Number one, no boys. Ever. Number two, driving, heh, forget it! Number three...
(they leave) (edit)
(Ron and Kim is preparing to leave home after beating Monkey Fist)
Kim: Nice work, boys.
Ron: Let's go home, buddy.
Frederick: (Computer voice) Ron go, Frederick stay.
Ron: What do you mean?
Frederick: (Computer voice) Frederick have job.
Kim: He's been training for this mission for long time, Ron. It?s only right that he sees it through.
Ron: But that means he'll stay up here for a year.
Frederick: (Computer voice) Frederick miss Ron.
Ron: I'll e-mail you every day.
(they leave) (edit)
(Ron is trying to get out of the spider room by pressing wildly on the code buttons)
Ron: C'mon, stupid door. (Rufus manages to press the right code) Alright, Rufus, you cracked the code!
Monkey Fist: Well, if it isn't the boy who detests monkeys.
Ron: Get your stinking paws off me, you filthy monkey. (Rufus bites his hand)
(a door opens)
Monkey Fist: Now what?
(Kim appears)
Ron: Kim! (noticed Frederick) Why did you bring him? He's gotta be working with Monty Freak!
Kim: Ron, Frederick risked his life to come. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here.
Ron: Really?
Frederick: (Computer voice) Hello, Ron.
Ron: You came to help me?!
Frederick: (Computer voice) Frederick friend.
Monkey Fist: Frederick has come back. Oh, yes! The prophecy is back on track. I will be the ultimate monkey master
Kim: Monkey Fist, get a life!
(she gets into a battle stance)
(Ron does some weird Monkey Kung Fu moves)
Frederick: (Computer voice) Bring it on.
Monkey Fist: Monkey Ninjas, attack! (edit)

Trivia

add »
The flashback sequence to Ron's summer camp experience is reused footage from Monkey Fist Strikes. (edit)
At the beginning of the episode, Monkey Fist has four monkey ninjas, but when he invades the space center, he only has three. Later on the space station again, it's back to four. (edit)
After the artificial gravity is turned off. Kim is capable of moving through the air with out pushing off of anything. This is a physical impossibility. (edit)
At one point when the Mystical Monkey Monk appears to the monkey ninjas at the end of the episode, his monkey lacks any lighter coloring on his face. (edit)
When one of the Rocket Booster children says "I think she's my babysitter", the girl with blonde pigtails is the one whose head is moving, implying that she is saying the line. But when we cut to a wide shot halfway through the line, the black-haired kid standing next to her is the one whose mouth is moving. (edit)

Allusions

add »
Gertrude Ederle:

Kim telling her dad that she swam the English Channel is a reference to Gertrude Ederle, who was the first woman to swim the English Channel faster than any man, one hour and fifty-nine minutes. (edit)
Ron: I told you, KP, never trust a monkey!

Recalls the punchline (such as it was) to one of Brak's more popular "School Daze" stories for "Cartoon Planet" (featured on "Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que", the series' first commercially available compilation CD) was -- that's right:

"I told you, never trust a monkey!" (edit)
Ron: Get yer stinking paws off me, you filthy monkey!

A parody of Charlton Heston's classic line from 1968's "Planet of the Apes":
"Get your stinking paws off me, you d---ed dirty ape!" (edit)
