Narrator: The city of Townsville is under attack.

Ms. Keane: Well, girls, I think Mr. Wednesday taught us a valuable lesson here today. Bubbles: Education is the progressive realization of our ignorance? Ms. Keane: No...Don't turn your back in the middle of a dodgeball game. Narrator: Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, Ms. Keane! Under your rule, school is cool.
