Quotes

add »
Kim: (About the electrostatic illuminator, after getting it) There's gotta be some way to disable it.
Wade: I haven't figured that part out yet.
Ron: No worries! I'm sure we got a whole sixty seconds left.
Wade: Actually, fifty-five seconds!
Ron: Yeah, I got nothing. (edit)
Ron: (of Drakken's ancestor) You know what they say, Kim, 'The nut doesn't fall far from the tree.' (eats several Spark Rocks, causing his hair to stand on end)
Kim: Acorn, but you're right, a Lipsky on the scene can't be good. (edit)
Ron: I was looking for 100 year old hot sauce, this stuff's got to pack a punch now. (edit)
Ron: (Crunching loudly on Spark Rocks) My hair standing on end?
Kim: (raising her eyebrows while staring at Ron) No more so than usual. (edit)
Kim: (after waking from her dream) I can't believe I just zoned out like that.
Ron: I can't believe the dream I had.
Kim: About The World's Fair?
Ron: And our ancestors?
Kim: And Drakken and Shego too?
Ron: So. . . we had the exact same dream!?
Kim: Can't get much weirder than that. (edit)

Trivia

add »
When Jonathan and the man who sells Nacos are shaking hands, they use their left hands. In normal settings, people use their right hands. (edit)
When Kim and Ron are in the museum at the start of the episode, Kim is wearing her green tank top and capris and Ron is wearing his red jersey. When they wake up from the dream sequence, they are wearing the clothes they wore at the end of the dream, the yellow star shirt and the black and white shirt (edit)
The first time we see the electrostatic illuminator(in the flashback), it's working with seconds (we see the number 60 to refer a minute), but when we see the photo of Miss Go, it's working with minutes (52560000 minutes), and at the end of the episode, when it's about to explode, returns to work with seconds (edit)
When Kim looks through the glass at Mim and John's photo, her reflection shows her hair on its normal side, but it should've been on her opposite, since she was looking in something sort of like a mirror. (edit)
When Kim is holding the two photos, one of them is supposed to be of Miss Go holding the Electro-Static Illuminator and the other is supposed to be of the Taco stand. If you look closely at the two photos in the Museum, Ron takes the photo that is supposed to be of the Taco stand, but then it changes to the Hamburger stand. (edit)

Pop Rocks:

The candy Ron was eating in this episode was called Shocks Rocks, it send a burst of static electricity throughout the eater’s body. This is a reference to Pop Rocks, the candy that crackles and pops as it dissolves in the eater’s mouth. (edit)
