    Kim: "So Ron, you just going to chill? All summer?"
    Ron: "'Chillin', as you put it, is for amateurs. I'm -marinating."

    Ron: "Lazy? I'm sympatico with lazy!"

    Shego: "boop-boop-boop! Stupid Idea Alert!"

    Ron: "That's me in the background there, see?"
    Rufus: "Huh? No! Sorry!"
    Ron: "Wha-- oh, you're right. Ya, it's a Japanese school girl."

    Mr. Dr. Possible: Ready to roll, Kimmie?
    Ron: Roll? No one said anything about rolling.
    Kim: Road trip to visit my uncle Slim
    Ron: Okay. I'll be here when you get back.
    Kim: ... In Montana
    Ron: Montana ?! ... Okay. I'll be here when you get back.

    Drakken: (reading letter) Mmm... Dear Mister Drakken... DOCTOR Drakken, you dolts!

    Shego: (reading letter) Cerebellum Ultra Smaty Super-Genius Thinking Society, are you kidding me?
    Drakken: (growls as he tries to get the letter) Give it!
    Shego: ... Woah, woah, and they won't let you join?
    Drakken: No! And it vexes me to the BONE!

    Shego: Oh, c'mon. Why do you wanna join some super dorky club?
    Drakken: To prove that I'm brillianter than a lot of them!
    Shego: Brillianter?
    Drakken: Most smartest, whatever. I'm a scientific genius, not an englist.
    Shego: LINGUIST.
    Drakken: Stop that!

    Drakken: I need to invent something so brilliant, so irrefutably mind-bogglingly wowful...
    Shego: (quietly) So close...

    Ron: (of the ranch) The lazy C. Well, the lazy me should fit right in!

    Slim Possible: How'd yer prairie dog lose his hair?
    Rufus: (shakes fist angrily)
    Slim Possible: Feisty little fella!

    Joss: I c'n do anything!

    Joss: (finally recognizing Ron) You're the one who's always loosin' his drawers!
    Ron: Aww, c'mon, it's only been six or eight times!

    Drakken: Anyone who wears one of these hats will get as silly as-
    Shego: -Your outfit?
    Drakken: I happen to feel *muy* macho, thank you very much.

    Kim: What are you into?
    Joss: You.
    Kim: O...kay...

    Henchman: (on the phone) Hombre 1 to Drakken. We have varmints.
    Drakken: (answering) We have WHAT?! Varmints?! What is a varmint?! (hands phone to Shego) Shego, here, you speak hombre.
    Shego: Give me that. (on the phone) Howdy, hombre. What in tarnation is-a goin' on? (long pause) ,,, Looks like we got us some varmints.
    Drakken: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!

    Kim and Joss: (at the same time) What's the sitch?
    Joss: Oops, sorry.
    Kim: No big.

    Drakken: (seeing Mr. Possible and Ron) Oh! We've got a new team here! The genius and the lack-wit!
    Ron: (to Mr. P) Don't let him call you a lack-wit!

    Rufus: 'Attaboy (Pats Ron).

    Tim: Are you afraid of horses?
    Ron: Me, afraid? *breathes heavily* Yes.

    Joss: You should be more like Kim. She's not afraid of nothing.
    Ron: Kid, if being like Kim were that easy, I would've done it a long time ago.

    Kim(to Wade): Joss so needs to get a life. Preferably, her own.
    Joss(behind a door): *gasp*[runs to her room]
    Kim: Oh no.
    Wade: She heard you?
    Joss: [slams her door]
    Kim: She *so* heard me.

    Dr.P: Whatever your evil scheme is, Lipsky, it won't work.
    Drakken: A-ha, but it already has. And all prisoners are to refer to me as "Doctor Drakken".
    Dr.P: You'll always be "Drew Lipsky, the science student who couldn't make the grade".
    Drakken: I will now. You see, Possible, I've adjusted the curve.

    Dr.P(to Drakken): You gathered the greatest minds on the planet here, so you could alter their intelligence and make yourself seem smarter.
    Ron: Ah-ha! How's he doing that?
    Drakken: That's for me to know, and you to find out.
    Dr.P: It's obviously those cowboy hats. They probably contain some hidden circuitry that alters brain wave efficacy.
    Drakken: You Possibles take the fun out of everything!

    Kim: Dad! Ron!
    Joss: Captured by Shego? That means your arch foe is next door. Spankin'!
    Kim: Joss, it's not spankin', it's serious.
    Joss: But nothing ever happens here. This is major!
    Kim: That's what I'm afraid of.

    Ron(of his pony-ride ordeal): I lost two baby teeth that day—it changes a guy.

    Ron(seeing Ramesh with silly hat on): That is one strange square-dance.
    Dr.P: I'll bet it's a square-root-dance.
    Ron: Which is what?
    Dr.P: I don't know…

    Mr.Dr.Possible: It's not her fault. I shouldn't have been a nosy parker.
    Kim: Dad!
    Ron: Kim, the man's a nosy parker!
    Kim: Ron!

    Dr.Possible: Something's not right. They're acting like a bunch of goofs.
    Ron: Dr. P, sometimes you gotta let your hair down and get loose! (Ramesh sticks his tongue out and dances) Maybe some boundaries are being crossed here.
    Dr.Possible: (grabbing Ramesh) What is WRONG with you man?!

    Slim: That's a passive of hombres.
    Joss: Can we take 'em?
    Kim: You got to remember, Joss...
    Jim & Tim: Anything is possible for a Possible.

    Ron: *Seeing the many Kim posters* The word "obsession" comes to mind.

    Kim: Ron, Uncle Slim's ranch is a working ranch.
    Ron: I thought it was a dude ranch. You know, for dudes like me?

    Kim: How about when Shego--
    Joss: Tutored Senor Senior, Jr. on how to be a bad guy.
    Kim: Or when Drakken--
    Joss: Stole a weather machine!


      Goofs
  • Throughout the entire episode the charges on the henchmens staff things are red instead of blue.
  • when Jost is weaving in and out of the pillars, her hair is coloured the same bright red as Kim's.
  • Why didn't Ramesh recognize Drakken by his voice? If he did, I'm sure he would've gotten suspicious and walked away, especially after the events of 'Attack of the Killer Bebes'.
  • How could Joss look a little like Kim? Kim gets most of her looks from her Mother's side of the family.
  • Joss' eyes switch constantly between being green or blue.
  • ^-The red charges could be an update Drakken made to the staffs. The charges are also bigger.
  • When Joss points out the Off switch on Old Tornado, her hand is ungloved.
  • When Joss notices Kim is missing, the poster above her bed shows Kim with a turtlenecked green shirt instead of the V-neck is usually has.
  • When Joss is hanging up posters of Ron the biggest one she hangs up, in the first shot of it has him in regular clothes but in the second shot is has his mission clothes with a red stripe at the bottom
  • ^his belt is colored red, and his gloves aren't colored in. http://img221.echo.cx/my.php?image=untitled9lf.png

  •   Analysis
    Does Wade actually leave his room?
      Wade comments that he's really popular when he goes to a computer store... -go to- a computer store? Does that mean he actually leaves his room from time to time?
    Silly hats
      These hats remind me of the mind control devices used on Kim and Shego in The Twin Factor.
    Ron is scared by...
      In this episode we learn that Ron is also scared by the mechanical horses. Poor Ron.
    References to past episodes:
      During Kim and Joss' conversation about KP's past adventures, they mention what happened in the episodes Bueno Nacho, October 31st, Two to Tutor and Job Unfair
    Number One
      The happenings in episode Number One is referred to by Ron when he menttions the time he and Kim busted Duff Killigan in Tokyo
    DYN?
      The brain (the mascot of Smarty Mart) on the sign of Smarty Mart is wearing a ten-gallon hat.
    Reference to ASiT
      In one scene, Joss comments that it isn't Drakken, but in fact Shego who is the truly dangerous one of the duo. She observes that if she went off on her own, Shego could do some serious harm. This matches almost exactly what Kim learns in the end of A Sitch In Time, but then forgets it when the future re-asserts itself at the close of the movie. In typically theatrical irony, Kim isn't in the room to hear Joss' line, and so it can be assumed that she still has no clue that she's worried about the wrong villain. Talk about bad luck...
    Re: Re: Reference to 'ASiT'
      In 'A Sitch in Time', when Rufus 3000 pointed out that Shego was the only one smart enough to take over the world, Kim said that it had always seemed more like a guy thing to her. So maybe she is suspicious of Shego, but she doesn't think her instincts are right.

    DYN?

    One of the pins on Joss' map of the world is on Australia, and we learned in A Sitch in Time that there's someone it Australia that owes Kim a favor. Good accuracy.

    DYN

    Joss has a map of the world where people owe Kim favors in her room.

    DYN? #2

    Tara Strong (the voice of Joss) is also the voice of Tara and Penny(from The Truth Hurts), who both showed interest in Ron; and, at the end of this episode, Joss looks up to Ron as a hero. Coincidence?

    Forgoten

    Ron wasn't the only one neglected by Joss. She has wanted posters of Drakken, Shego, and Killigan; but none of Monkey Fist, SSS, or SSJ.

    Bonding?

    Ron and Dr. Possible are alone together for the first time on the show, and you can see a few hints of bonding between the two of them.

    DYN - I wanna be just like you

    Joss's hair is not as bright red as Kim's. Does that mean she dyed her hair to be like her idol?

    Does this seem at all familiar to you?

    Joss learns that she doesn't need to be like Kim to be a hero. In Ron the Man Ron learned that he didn't need muscle to be able to save the day.

    It runs in the family

    Mr. Dr. Possible gets envious and jealous easily, like Kim. Or, more accurately, Kim gets envious and jealous easily, like her dad.

    Joss has NEVER heard of Ron?

    I find that highly unlikely; since Jack Hench, who doesn't even have a good reason to remember Ron's name, not only knew it, but told his receptionist ("Ron the Man").

    In the Sheriff's Office

    On the wall of the Sheriff's Office, where Drakken and Shego have set up their wild west lair, there are a row of power staffs on the wall where rifles would normally be.

    Joss the fan

    Joss is an obvius reference to all those KP-obsseded fans who knows all about her adventures and even try to analize the series. Maybe the staff of the series found that annoying some of their fans and reflected that on Kim.


      Cultural References
    None: None
      Kim and Joss are like Zenon and Dasha in Zenon Z3. Joss wants to be like Kim and they are like Dasha wants to be like Zenon, and Kim and Joss are cousins like Zenon and Dasha.

    Shego's horse: [trying to step on Kim]

    This is similar to a scene in the movie The Two Towers, inwhich a horse nearly steps on the hobit named "Pipin".
