Quotes
-
Inspector Gadget : So, you slipped away. No one gets away from Inspector Gadget and gets away with it.
-
Penny : Uncle Gadget! A cliff!
Inspector Gadget : Don't be silly, Penny. There are no cliffs in the desert. It's just a miraaage!
[drives off the end of the cliff]
Inspector Gadget : Maybe, it wasn't a mirage. Go-Go Gadget chute!
[the chute is deployed out of the Gadgetmobile, and lands safely in a pool]
-
[Gadget, Penny and Brain are being chased across the desert by a M.A.D agent, disguised as a desert nomad, on a camel. Seconds later, the M.A.D agent fires a cannonball at them]
Inspector Gadget : [thinking it is a thunderclap] That's odd. Sounds like a thunderstorm. In the desert?
[the cannonball bounces off the roof of the Gadgetmobile]
Inspector Gadget : [thinking it was a hailstone] Correction. Make that a hailstorm.
[the M.A.D agent fires another cannonball. This time, the cannonball stays in the air shortly before knocking the M.A.D agent off his camel]
-
Chief Quimby : Be careful, Gadget! Remember Pharaoh Poot-Ta-Toot's curse!
Inspector Gadget : Nonsense, Chief. A 4000 year old curse, is just supersticious rubbish!
[puts the message back in the salad that Chief Quimby is hiding in, and it blows up]
Chief Quimby : [groans] I think Poot-Ta-Toot's curse has already started.
-
Penny : Good morning, Uncle Gadget. What was it like spending the night here?
Inspector Gadget : To tell you the truth, Penny: Boring! I spent all night looking for a snack machine, and I just realized... I don't have any change!
-
Inspector Gadget : I like to think of the desert as just a big beach without water.
Penny : And a lot more sand.
-
[Inside the pyramid of Poot-Ta-Toot, Gadget, Penny and Brain are getting a sneak preview of his treasure before it goes on exhibit the next day]
Penny : [referring to the sarcophagus] Oh, I've never seen anything so rich!
Inspector Gadget : Yes, Penny, that Poot-Ta-Toot must've been quite a guy. A little flamboyant, but that's politics.
-
[whilst guarding Poot-Ta-Toot's treasure, Gadget is struggling with some pieces of string]
Inspector Gadget : I should've taken a course in macramé!
-
Inspector Gadget : These pyramids are totally unsafe! No wonder nobody lives in them anymore!
-
[Gadget has second thoughts about the whip he was shown earlier by the M.A.D agent, disguised as a desert nomad, who tried to finish him off first time round]
Inspector Gadget : Now that I think about it, one of those whips would've made a nice gift for Chief Quimby's office.
-
Inspector Gadget : I can't guard the Pharaoh's treasure if I'm wondering around here all night. The foyer must be around the next corner.
