Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville, where three super-powered little girls spend their days manhandling monsters, curbing crime, vanquishing villains, and frankly, they need a vacation.

Narrator: And so once again, the day is saved--No thanks to the Professor. Professor Utonium: My eye! Oh! Narrator: But thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! You have to admit, Professor, that was a pretty good burn.
