Drakken: (after looking through a peephole) It's ten times worse! It's my former cellmate: Frugal Lucre!
Shego: You mean that dweeb who wanted a dollar from everyone by shutting down the Internet? False alarm.
Drakken: Do not underestimate the annoyance factor, Shego.
Shego: So, he really bugs you?
Drakken: To the max! Now hide! (slips under the table) Ok, let's pretend we're not here, and maybe he'll leave.
Frugal Lucre: Maybe who will leave?
Drakken: Frugal... (hits head on the table) How did you get in? (edit) (Kim and Shego are about to fight)
Shego: So...small talk?
Kim: Mmm...not so much.
(they begin to fight) (edit) (Shego appears in a blonde wig)
Shego: Um...excuse me. But I seem to be um...uh, lost. (grumbles under her breath) And out of my mind. (edit) (Shego and Drakken are looking for things to steal on the video screen)
Shego: Okay. I give up. We've been at this all day. There's got to be something you want to steal. What's wrong with the Global Incinerator Ray?
Drakken: It's Mundane.
Shego: Quantum Gravity Drill?
Drakken: BTDT.
Shego: Been There, Done That?
Drakken: Acronyms are very handy when texting one's BFFs. (edit) (After the entire ordeal is over with)
Ron: Ok, well, I have no idea what just happened. But I'm clearly not cut out to help people make life choices.
Kim: Oh, I wouldn't be so sure. You helped me choose you.
Ron: Ok, that time I was a genius.
(Kim and Ron move in to kiss, and as they do, the screen cuts to Rufus, who gags and runs off)
Ron: Hey, where's Rufus?
(Rufus jumps into the mail tube and goes off) (edit)

Spiderman:
When Ron says "With great pets, comes great responsibility", this is a play on the famous line spoken by Ben Parker in Spiderman. (edit) Title: The Mentor of Our Discontent
The episode's title is a reference to the phrase "winter of discontent," a common term historically used to describe a winter season in which tragic or controversial events take place (most commonly the British winter of 1978-79, which was riddled with trade union strikes). It is derived from the opening lines of William Shakespeare's Richard III: "Now is the Winter of our Discontent, made glorious summer by this son of York." (edit)
