Quotes[]
Gordon: "Yes! I've always wanted to see a giant panda up close!"
Brains: "That's n-not likely to happen."
Gordon: "You're crushing my dreams, Brains."
Brains: "B-but it's in a sealed, environmentally controlled container..."
Gordon: (covers his ears) "La la la la la, I can't hear you!"
Kinnear: "Going to full power has overloaded the system. I can't refocus the beam and we're about to go critical."
Parker: "Does that mean ka-bloom, then?"
Virgil: "Gordon, flip the switch."
Gordon: "No problem. Just like when your hairdryer blows a fuse at Tracy Island."
Virgil: "What do you- what do you mean, my hairdryer?"
Virgil: "Try to keep us in the air."
Gordon: "Relax. If more plasma bolts hit, I'll use your hairdryer trick again."
Virgil: "One time, one time that happened!"
