Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville, a very normal city like most cities. And, like most cities, Townsville has its own resident superheroes. Why, there they go right now.

Narrator: And, so, once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls and the newly-formed Society of Associated Puffketeers. Aren't they cute little muffins?
