Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville; the picture of an average American town. Mom's hot apple pie... White picket fences... And baseball. Oh, yes. Typically American in every way. Only one thing that sets Townsville apart from the rest of America. Or should I say three things?
Narrator: Oh, no! Bernie Bernstein, a fraud?! And I was promised a part in that movie! Well, Professor, what are you going to do?
Narrator: Oh, brother. So, once again, I guess the day is saved thanks to the smart guy in the dress. Ugh. He looks just like my mom.
