  •   Quotes
    Ron: Surprisingly, french fries and french toast are in short supply here.

    Monkey Fist: It appears you have bitten off more than you can chew...my little friend.

    Ron: So what's up with you guys?
    Kim: Oh, you know, same ol' same ol'.
    Rufus: Same ol' same ol'.

    Monkey Fist: Come on! Say "Aaaauuuggh!"
    Kim: Aaaauuuggh!

    Kim: Hi Ron, how's Paris?
    Ron: Ce-est tres magni-feeky!

    Ron's dad: Who's up for the Lou-ve-rah ?

    Killigan: Enjoy your flight. It'll only last a wee twenty-two seconds.


      Goofs
  • The monkey ninjas work for Monkey Fist again, yet they learned Ron was their leader in "Monkey Ninjas in Space".
  • ^--Maybe Monkey Fist got new monkey ninjas.
  • The entrance to Kim's room is different than in previous episodes. In "Animal Attraction," specifically, it is shown to be a open hole with some fixed steps. In this ep, there is now a hallway with a door.
  • When Kim is talking to Ron while falling after Duff she doesn't have any gloves on.
  • Kim's gloves are missing again when she says "Rufus, jump down to me".
  • Nitpick: It's apparent that Kim doesn't like video games (Crush: So? Video games!), so why does she have a Z-Boy figure sitting on her computer monitor?
  • Re: Nitpick: Ron *was* in Kim's room for a long time, setting up Rufus' habitat. Perhaps it's his.
  • ^- It's probably a gift from Nakasumi-san for saving his entire production line and his employees.
  • When Kim jumps into Duff's blimp, she has her backpack on, but when he hits her with the net, she doesn't.
  • How could Ron afford to call Kim so many times? I mean, I'm only guessing, but I bet that calling from France isn't cheap.
  • ^----: Maybe Kim and Ron saved the French telephone operator from peril?
  • Nitpick: Ron said that Rufus must have Rock-a-bye baby SUNG to him, yet in the end when Kim opens the card and the instrumental version plays, he falls asleep.
  • Monkey Fist's monkey fists are incorrectly colored to match those of his monkey ninjas as he first catches Rufus on the Eiffel Tower.
  • When Ron calls Kim from France, she brings him up on the Kimmunicator. How does she get a video image of him? Ron is calling her from a regular phone and doesn't have a vidcam pointed at him like Wade does.
  • As she is reading the newpaper at Smarty Mart, both of Shego's gloves are black.
  • When we first see Killigan, the green he is standing on is actually brown. After Killigan hears the signal, the green is green and the brown area is off to the side.
  • When Kim reads from the birth card after Rufus falls asleep, she says "It's a girl," but the card is blue. Traditionally, 'pink is for girls, blue is for boys.'
  • When Rufus fell down the elevator shaft he was "below" the place Kim and the villians were fighting. But then Rufus is "above" the same place when Kim screams "Rufus jump down to me!!!!".
  • ^-- But then Kim pushes the elevator button and the cables move upward, taking Rufus up with them.

  •   Analysis
    DYN? #1
      Apparently, Shego shops at Smarty Mart.
    DYN? #2
      Most of the villains' transportations are specific to their personal tastes. Monkey Fist flies a Banana Jet and Duff Killagan pilots a Golf Ball Submarine.
    DYN? # 3
      The music Ron listens to on the plane is from "Coach Possible". In "Two to Tutor", SSJ listens to the same music, also on headphones. Who knew they were both big fans of disco music . . .
    Shego has theme music!
      My dad noticed this. During the Eiffel Tower sequence, the music would switch to match whatever villain was dominating at the time - bagpipes for Killigan, mystical music for Monkey Fist, and a upbeat song I don't recall hearing before for Shego!
    Kim singing
      This is the first time we hear Kim sing on the show (Rock-a-Bye Baby).
    DYN? #4
      Several shots of the monkey ninjas practicing have been reused from "Monkey Ninjas in Space".
    DYN? #5
      The shortened opening credits features some new scenes.
    DYN? #6
      The time on Kim's saw blade wrist watch is 8:22.
    DYN? #7
      The Weekly Wonder that Shego is reading includes pictures of Justine and the dinosaur (separately) from "Partners" (#202).
    DYN? #8
      Monkey Fist's nostrils are more prominently drawn this season.
    Re: DYN #3
      Actually, this music first appears in "Attack of the Killer Bebes" when Dad was having a flashback of his college days with his friend.
    Deleted Scene?
      Did the Stoppables never get their vacation photos developed? They have a beautiful action shot of Kim and Rufus in Paris--catching poor Kim in yet another 'little white lie' ("October 31st"). You'd think Ron would be a little upset over that...
    RE: DYN? #1
      But Shego told SSJ in "Two to Tudor" that villains don't buy anything. It doesn't add up.
    RE:Deleted Scene?
      Kim had a much better reason to lie in this episode then in "October 31st". She didn't want Ron to worry. After all, he does love Rufus like a son. And Ron did say that he approved of lying for good reasons("Car Trouble").
    The Strong, Silent Type
      Shego has only two audible lines in this epi: "Gotcha" and "Thanks".
    Not so Heartless After All
      It would have been easier for Monkey Fist to get the chip out of Rufus by cutting him open, but he doesn't even try. So, apparently, he has some form of a heart.

    Object: Kim's watch/saw
      Kim's watch/saw is similar to a device in the James Bond film *Live and Let Die* (in it, Bond's watch has a sharp edge and rotates; no tiny saw)
