Memorable quotes
The Mayor: Majorie Wilson--Where's Majorie Wilson? I KNEW IT! Only an evil mind such as hers could do such a diabolical thing! Majorie: I'm right here, Mayor! The Mayor: Oh, is that you, Marge? How's every little thing?

Narrator: Well, it looks like this criminal has been collected and put into his very own box--a box that won't be opened for a long, long time. And so, for the very first time, the day is saved, thanks to the citizens of Townsville! Collect them all.
