- Koopa: Soon I'll be the vilest villain to ever victimize Victoria! What do you think of me now, Mr. Detective Defective?
  Herlock: Elementary, my dear Kooparity! You're a cross between a lizard and an inferior species of toad. Your brain is smaller than a peanut. You got the lowest grades in your school and hold the world record for flunking kindergarten the most times. When you were little, the other Koopas nicknamed you "Lizard Lips" and never let you play with them. You were a naughty lily-livered bully boy and wet the bed until you were twelve.
  (Mouser, Tryclyde, and Koopa Troopa laugh hysterically.) Mouser: Gee, he knows you pretty good, boss!
  Koopa: (grabs Mouser) Who asked you, cheese breath!?

  Herlock: Elementary, my dear Kooparity! You're going to break into the Tower of Victoria and steal a new weapon, the Retro Rooter.
  Koopa: (to his minions) All right, which one of you bonehead blabbermouths spilled the beans!?
  Triclyde: Heh heh, I bet it was Mouser! Heh heh!
  Mouser: Koopa Troopa's ze big mouth!
  Troopa: You're the one, you limburger-eatin' liar!
  (Koopa's minions begin fighting.)
  Herlock: It was elementary, my dear Kooparity. That's just the type of crime a crafty Koopa won't commit.
