Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Narrator: The city of Townsville, and it looks like it's gonna be a calm, peaceful, uneventful day, as long as you ignore the giant ant! This looks like the end! Oh, what a sight for sore eyes! The Powerpuff Girls will see the end to this beast.
Narrator: As the crimson beam shoots forth, the sheer thickness of Bubbles's lenses begins to magnify the red-hot point of energy until...
Bubbles: What'd you say? I can't hear you.
Narrator: Oh, Bubbles. There's always something wrong with you! So, once again, (muffled speech ensues) the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!
