Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville--A city where villainy exists 24-7. But don't be alarmed, for the Powerpuff Girls always spring into action. Face it--These girls will clean their clocks. Watch as they wind up the crime every time! It's a lucky stroke for us that these are no secondhand heroines that keep our city safe deep into the night and into the wee hours of the morning. And on a school night, even. Speaking of school...

Narrator: Mojo Jojo is turning Townsville into Swiss cheese! Citizen: Look shape, everyone, it's the Powerpuff Girls here to save us! Narrator: You said it, Jack! It'll be a breeze for our girls to cream that monster Mojo. Things aren't looking too gouda for you Mojo, so leave that prov alone and be prepared to be shredded.

Narrator: Now what will happen to Townsville without its heroes to protect it?! Oh, I camembert to watch!

Narrator: It sure is nice to have the girls to fall back on, eh, Professor? And so once again, the day is saved thanks to... Benjamin Franklin's suggestion of setting clocks back during the winter for extra daylight to conserve economic spending on candles and the Powerpuff Girls!
