Memorable quotes
Narrator: Shh. The city of Townsville, where it's the end of a quiet, peaceful, crime-free day, which means it's bedtime for our beloved heroes, the Powerpuff Girls. Yes, it's time for Professor Utonium to tuck in our tuckered-out little supertots. Ahem. Time for Professor Utonium to tuck in our tuckered-out little supertots. Buttercup: It's time to tuck us in, Professor! Ohh. What's keeping him? Blossom: Oh, no. Preparing for his big dissertation tomorrow has worn him out. Why don't we tuck him in for a change? Bubbles: That's a good idea! Shh. We have to make sure that he really gets a good night's rest. Powerpuff Girls: Oh, what a cute... Blossom: Night, night, Professor. Don't let the bed bugs bite. Narrator: So now, with the tuckered-out Professor tucked in tight by our little supertots, it's the end of a quiet, peaceful, crime-free day.

Narrator: Ha ha ha! I'm not sure dear old Professor knows just what he did, but if there's one thing he knows for sure, it's not wise to try and rob the Powerpuff Girls. Bubbles: And stay out! Narrator: Ahem. So, like I was saying earlier, before all of this nonsense began, it's the end of a not-so-quiet, not-so-peaceful, not so crime-free day. Burglar: Whoa! Cha-ching! Narrator: Oh, boy. I feel sorry for this guy, I really do. And so, once again, the night is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! Powerpuff Girls: Shh. Narrator: Sorry.
