Detailed summary

Memorable quotes

Narrator: The city of Townsville... Cannot be seen from the windowless laboratory of the Powerpuff Girls' suburban home. Nevertheless, it is in this dim den where the brightest of births took place--The creation of the Powerpuff Girls. Every afternoon, Professor Utonium returns to this subterranean lab to continue his noodling with nature. Oh, here he comes now.


Bubbles: Hey, could this be a clue?
Mojo: Dear Powerpuff Girls, I have kidnapped Professor Utonium! I have taken him someplace against his will! If you look for him in the spots he likes to be, you will not find him! He's with me, but not by choice! I took him and he didn't like it! This message is from and was written by, Mojo Jojo.
Bubbles: Who could have done this?


Narrator: Oh, Mojo Jojo, what are you up to this time?
Professor Utonium: Oh, Mojo Jojo, what are you up to this time?


Narrator: Oh, no. Has this sibling rivalry come to an end? Has Mojo Jojo finally defeated the Powerpuff Girls?
Mojo: Yes! I have defeated the Powerpuff Girls!


Narrator: Wow! Talk about ironic. Professor creates Mojo, Mojo creates girls. It's crazy, I tell you. ha ha! Yeah. So once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls. But...Thanks originally to Mojo Jojo.
Mojo: It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me. It was me.
