  •   Quotes

    Shego: "Embarassment ninjas"? Are you kidding?
    Drakken: I guess in their field, it pays to specialize.

    Jim: I thought embarrassment ninjas were supposed to be, like, the best.
    Tim: Pfft, amateurs.

    Ron: *to the destroyed Wade-bot* It was his first mission! He was so young! ... Stay with me, pal!
    Rufus: Leave him!
    Ron: *picking up robot* No, Rufus, no one gets left behind -- not on my watch.
    Wade: *on the kimmunicator* Ron, I'm fine. Get back to the flower, already.
    Ron: Oh, right. *drops robot*

    Wade: Oops.
    Ron: Wade, we're freefalling of a cliff! This is no time for 'oops!'

    Drakken: I'm serious, Shego. Kim Possible has foiled my plans for the last time!
    Shego: Yeah, the last time today, maybe.

    Josh: Listen, I know this is kinda last second, but do you want to hang out tonight? I don't know--
    Kim: Yes! I mean no! I mean YES!

    Kim: What about the time you lost your pants?
    Ron: Times. Too many to count, my friend.

    Ron: Have you ever noticed that Mankey is but one vowel away from Monkey? Y'know, I'm not implying anything. It's just something to think about, that's all.

    Ron: Yeah, I'm no doctor, but you MIGHT want to get that checked out.

    Ron: Kim, you could embarrass yourself right out of existence.

    Wade: Rapids? They're not on the map!
    Ron: NO! They're right in front of us!

    Wade (of the waterfall): That's not on the map either!

    Shego: He's kinda cute. I approve.
    Drakken: What are you, her sister all of a sudden?

    Shego: One heaping helping of embarrassment, coming right up.

    Wade: I'm picking up thermal scans from a floating head in Middleton Park .
    Ron: That's probably her, right?

    Tim: How come you're just a head?
    Jim: Yeah, is that like full-blown cooties or something?
    Kim: Home! Now! I'll destroy you two later.

    Ron: How do you like me now, Mother Nature? Who's your daddy? Who's your daddy's daddy?

    Ron: You can't beat me at my own game, Rufus! I haven't caused a nacho-valanche since '97!

    Drakken: Finish her! Give her the Pimple Punch!
    Shego: Pimple Punch?
    Kim: Pimple Punch?

    Shego: What about just last week, when Kim Possible gave you that Flying Kung Fu wedgie?! And you were all like, "Shego, help me! Help me!" Ha! Ha!

    Drakken: (looking at magazine) Hmm. That's it! That's it, Shego!
    Shego: What is?
    Drakken: Emarassment. The soft white underbelly of the teen ego.
    Shego: Eww.

    Josh: Isn't Latin, like, on the other side of the school?
    Kim: Yes, but I had to get the thing from the guy at the place, first.
    Josh: (moves eyebrows) Right.

    Shego: You didn't happen to borrow those binoculars from the embarassment ninjas by any chance?
    Drakken: Yes. (takes them down to reveal red circles under his eyes) Why do you ask?
    Shego: Uh, no reason.


      Goofs
  • When Drakken and Shego are in the mall, leaning over the railing and watching Kim trip down the stairs, some of the colors on Shego's suit are reversed.
  • Right before reaching the rapids, the camera on top of the Wade-Bot disappears.
  • How could Kim speak with no mouth?
  • ^-- Presumably, the same way she could kick ninja booty with no/invisible feet.
  • Ron claims to have never been embarrassed. However, in "Bueno Nacho" when Shego asks him if his tie is a clip-on, he blushes.
  • The Possible family living room has switched locations with the kitchen. This is not, however, the first time it has happened (ex. DotS).
  • When Shego hands Drakken the magazine regarding embarassment, she was reading the front cover, but when Drakken has it, he's reading the back.
  • When Drakken and Shego walk into the store at the end of the intro segment a few salmon-colored fish drop to the floor, yet in a wider shot a moment later the fish are blue.
  • How did Ron bring a rare, exotic plant onto an international flight?
  • And again about the orchid: how did he get to South America, get the orchid, and bring it back to Middleton, presumeably via commercial jet, in only a few hours?
  • When Kim and Ron walk out of chemistry class, Ron makes a big deal about Kim not knowing the closest way to Latin (because she wanted to walk by Josh's locker). Then later in Bueno Nacho, the subject of Latin comes up again and Ron says, "Latin? So that's where you've been slinking off to after chemistry!" when he supposedly already knew she had Latin after chem. Also, according to "A Sitch in Time" they are supposed to be in Latin together!
  • ^-- ICaG: Note Kim's dialogue prior to Ron's outburst. "I was this close to Josh Mankey actually asking me out!" and "If the bell to Latin had rung, like, 5 milliseconds later...". Ron isn't surprised that Kim takes Latin, but instead actually proves that he knows she has it after chem by reasoning that the Mankey encounter occurred immediately after chemisty class. He also gives a warning (in Latin): "caveat emptor".
  • ^--Perhaps it was Ron just being goofy, since [i]A Sitch in Time[/i] does reveal that they have all of their classes together. Maybe he made the "connection" for the sake of making a joke.
  • ^- I always figured that Ron meant that Kim was sneaking off to be with Josh after Chemistry.
  • When Shego says, "Pimple Punch?" the green part of her collar is missing.
  • When Kim and Ron walk to the mall, Kim's hair is patted on the wrong side.
  • When Ron is about to leave Kim in search of the flower, Kim sighs and bends down a little. Right then, some of her hair changes color from red/orange to purple/pink for a couple of frames.

  •   Analysis
    Kim's clothes
      All of the outfits Kim wore in this episode (not including the coat) were introduced, or at least similar, to her outfits worn in "Queen Bebe."
    Analysis: Josh Mankey, Rather Forward
      Josh seems a bit forward, doesn't he? Kim told him she wouldn't hold hands on the first date. Granted, this was a ploy to keep him from discovering that she was vanishing from existence. However, he had no way of knowing that. So if Kim "Doesn't hold hands" on the first date, what made him think kissing on the first date was okay?
    Kiss
      This is the first time where Kim gets kissed in the show on the lips.
    Latin Class
      This episode came after Ron and Kim were Juniors. In A Sitch in Time, they got signed up for Latin Class. When Kim runs into Josh at the beginning, Kim and Ron are on their way to Latin Class.

    Not Thinking!?

    Why didn't Kim jest tell Josh that tonight wouldn't work but tomorrow night would be good? Going out in her condition was just *stupid*. I'm sure that she and Ron had a long(one-sided) talk about her foolishness the following morning.

    DYN-I did

    Didn't it seem to you that Shego was more high-school bully evil than villain-evil in this episode?

    None: Drakken's Laser to Destroy Earth
      This method of global elimination is similar to Dr. Evil's plan in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.
    none: none
      Ron's game of pulling out nachos from the stack without knocking it over is played in exactly the same manner as the game Jenga.
    Ron, Rufus and Wade-bot: Being chased to a cliff by a jaguar
      Ron, Rufus, and Wade-bot being chased to a cliff by a jaguar is reminiscent of Kuzco being chased to a cliff by multiple jaguars in "The Emperor's New Groove".

    Kim: "I had to get the thing from the guy at the place"

    Rueben Tishkoff says nearly this exact line ("We go back a long ways, and I still owe you from the thing with the guy in the place, and I'll never forget it.") in "Ocean's Eleven." Incidentally, in the movie, Rueben was played by Elliot Gould...who also does the voiceover for Mr. Stoppable.

    Ron/Rufus: None

    Ron's game of pulling out nachos from the stack without knocking it over is also played exactly like the game "Uno Stacko".
