Memorable quotes
Mojo: The city of Townsville--Complete in miniature model form. The details perfect in every detail. The perfect planning tool this construct is for planning my perfect plan. Perfect! Now, the piece de resistance.

Narrator: Whoah! You know, an episode like this makes you realize how small and insignificant and puny you are. Oh, well. So once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! Don't step on me--Don't step on me!
