Detailed summary
Memorable quotes
Stanley: The city of Townsville was once again on the brink of destruction today. But thanks to the brave efforts of those adorable Powerpuff Girls, the day was saved.
Stanley: This was the scene earlier today when five senior citizens were rushed into intensive care. Doctors report that they are not in critical condition, but they wonder how five elderly men could get into such a situation. And it is this reporter's opinion that perhaps none of this would have happened if the Powerpuff Girls would have just saved the day.
