  Notes
  • Villains: Shego & Señor Senior, Jr. and Señor Senior, Sr.
  • Animation Production by: Starburst Animation Co., Ltd
  • Title is a spoof on the song title Two for Tea
  • Or it could be a parody of the phrase "Two to Tango".
  • First time Shego works for anyone besides Drakken on the show.
  • This is also the first time Drakken appears, but doesn't have any lines.

  •   Quotes
    SSS: To remedy this, I have secured the services of a qualified tutor.
    SSJ: A tutor? You mean like the nice lady you hired to do all my homework in grades K through 12?

    Ron: Let the beating of the blades and the beating of your heart merge together. You... and the mixer... become one.

    Shego: Every villain needs an evil plot. Take Drakken. His plot? Yeah-- Always taking over the world. Always.
    Junior: Ooh! Can we do that?

    Shego: Not bad!
    Junior: I learned from the best.
    Shego: (flattered) Oh, well that's so sweet...

    Ron: That's a cool outfit, guy.
    Junior: You think so? I fear it makes me look beefy in the booty, if you know what I mean.
    Ron: I do. And it doesn't.

    Shego: *blows kiss to Junior*
    Junior: You changed my life! I will never forget you!

    Ron: Free samples, Kim. Life is good.

    Kim: I feel ridiculous!
    Ron: And that, Kim, is why you fail.

    Kim: He did not just call me "little missy"!

    Junior: Could you move? You're blocking my sun.
    Shego: (picks up Junior's deck chair, breaks it into pieces, and throws him into the pool) Lesson one: Eyes wide, especially to people who can HURT you.

    Barkin: Listen up, people. Your regular Home Ec teacher retired six years ago and nobody noticed until this morning.

    Barkin: All right, take your dusty and filth-covered seats.

    (Kim presses her face against the window, looking at Bonnie snapping a picture)
    Kim: (Desperate) Take me... with you!

    Junior: This is a very strange secret recipe.
    Shego: What?
    Junior: "You are so busted." Shouldn't there be some mention of flour, or eggs?

    Junior: Those are the same old moves!

    Shego: The first thing that every villain needs is...?
    Junior: (sighing) I know this one: An evil laugh.
    Shego: Oh, for cryin' out-- Your old man has totally warped your mind. Try again.
    Junior: Uh-- A villainous calling card? A robust tan? Spinning tops of doom? (cowering) You're going to slash something again, aren't you?

    SSJ: (developing an evil plot) Maybe we just run a web search for "really valuable" and "heavily guarded."

    Kim: The Seniors are all about the challenge; they only go for stuff that's really valuable and heavily guarded.
    Ron: Y'know, we could just run a web search on the words "really valuable" and "heavily guarded".
    Kim: Ron, we're talking a devious criminal mind, here. It's not as simple as--
    Wade: Got it! Great idea, Ron.
    Ron: I can cook, too!

    Texan: (laughs derisively, then sighs) Yankees. (spits tobacco juice)
    Kim: Actually, they have their own European island.
    Texan: Ain't from Texas, that's all I know.

    Kim: Too bad about your restaurant.
    Ron: Yeah, well, when the health inspector saw a live rodent -- y'know -- serving the food, the die was cast.

    Mr. Barkin: (of Ron's cake) It's like a chocolate cloud!

    Kim: (in a monotone) We're outa the lamb. Might I recommend the Stroganoff?

    Mr. Barkin: (of his Vietnam cooking experience) How else would you learn the slop jockey's art?

    Kim: (About the mixer) Ron, this machine hates me!

    (Shego crushes Junior's headphones)
    Junior: Hey! I was listening to that!
    Shego: Yeah, and now you're listening to ME!

    Ron: Hey, not to shabby, KP! I'm seeing major improvement.
    Kim: No big. I've got a great tutor.

    Kim: Amp down, Ron, I can hear your stomach growling.
    Ron: Not... my... stomach.

    Shego: (Watching Junior run the obstacle course) Pretty good time! For a wounded tortoise.
    Senior: (interrupting) Junior, how about you and I work on our evil laughs together, huh? Just like we used to?
    Junior: Oh, Father, please! Can't you see I'm a wounded porpoise?
    Shego: No, I said tortoise. T. T. Tortoise.
    Junior: See, Father, how mixed up you make me?!

    MHS Sign: Chez Ron Now Serving


      Goofs
  • When Shego is standing over Kim on the railing, and says "I've discovered the joys of teaching," her mouth doesn't move.
  • If Kim went under the cooking mix, to hold on and spin with the mixer, then wouldn't she have gotten dizzy and lost breath from the pressure?
  • When Granny is showing Kim her security system inside the vault, the recipe card is not in the case. But it is when Junior (and before him, Kim) go to take it.
  • The coloration of Shego's uniform (most notably the "seat") once again changes around throughout the ep.
  • I find it hard to believe that the cord for the rebellious mixer Kim's wrestling with (which is clearly visible in one shot) goes all the way out the Home Ec room and down the hall (as the mixer drags her out there).
  • ^-- As is apparent for only one, brief frame (included above), the cord doesn't actually extend into the hall, but has become detached by that point (which, of course, raises similar issues).
  • Nitpick: If Shego needs her green and black suit to manifest the green plasma around her hands, then why can she manifest it while wearing solid black burglar clothes?
  • ^-- There are a number of possibilities. 1.) She doesn't need the suit 2.) She has similar suits in other colors 3.) She's wearing her usual gloves under the black (and apparently plasma-resistant) set.
  • If people want this recipe so much why don't they just read the label of a pack of her cookies?
  • ^-- That'd give them the majority of the ingredients, but not the recipe.
  • The Granny Crocket picture on the corporate logo has just small black dots for eyes, but the Granny that Kim and Ron meet has large blue eyes surrounded by whites.
  • Kim is seen wearing an apron that doesn't cover her midriff.
  • ^-- Not so much a goof as a style choice, but it does seem odd that she'd leave her favorite top open to splatter.
  • ^---: Actually it's a hygiene thing.
  • When Shego takes the note from Jr. and says "This isn't the recipe", her mouth once again doesn't move.
  • ^-- ICaG: Kim cuts Shego off, finishing her thought for her off-screen.
  • In the opening sequence, when Kim lands after jumping out of the plane, her parachute is nowhere to be seen on the ground behind her.
  • When Kim wears a hairnet to serve food at Chez Ron, she doesn't tuck all of her hair into it. If your hair is hanging down around your shoulders, it kind of defeats the purpose of wearing it.
  • The part in Shego's hair changes frequently from the left to the right side throughout the show. (depending on where she's looking)
  • When Kim and Ron are outside the factory(before the dogs)and Rufus is on Ron's head, his tail is yellow.
  • When Ron and Rufus are knocked down to the conveyor belt (after smelling the vanilla :D ), Junior jumps down after Ron, only to be cookie-doughed by Rufus, who is back up on the platform at the controls. How the heck did he get up there?? Ron is never shown throwing him up there.
  • Response to Nitpick-In 'Go Team Go', we find out that Shego doesn't need her gloves or her jumpsuit to light up her hands; they're super powers bestowed by the rainbow comet that gave Shego and her brothers their powers.
  • When Kim goofs in home-ec and batter flies everywhere it lands on Rufus and Barkin, but Kim remains clean.
  • Shego said that criminals don't buy anything, but in 'October 31st', she didn't have a problem BUYING the Centurion Project from Duff Killigan.
  • ^-actually, paying Killigan for the Centurion Project was kind of like paying him to steal it for them.
  • --^Good point, but to cause less confusion, Shego should've said "Criminals don't buy anything unless they're buying something that was stolen!" (In other words, only buying things from the Black Market)
  • ---^But wait! We see Shego shop at Smarty Mart in 'Adventures in Rufus-Sitting'--standing in the check-out line, the place you go to PAY FOR the things you put in the shopping cart! Something's fishy...

  •   Analysis
    DYN #1
      The lock combination on the practice safe is "630" which could be meant to be a reference to 6:30, the time at which KP airs.
    DYN #2
      Rufus hums the first bar of "Beethoven's Fifth Symphony" when Ron and Kim first see the dogs.
    DYN #3
      On one of those Disney Channel "Express Yourself" things, Kirsten Storms (Bonnie) stated that, if she couldn't be an actor, she would like to be a photographer.
    DYN #4
      Barkin was a Lieutenant in Vietnam.
    DYN #5
      One of Ron's stuffed animals during the Granny Crocket Oven flashback is a hippopotamus. My dad swears it looks just like Pizzapotamus from "Coach Possible".
    DYN #6
      The music SSJ is listening to on headphones is from "Coach Possible".
    Electives
      Selection may have been limited, but it's still remarkable that Bonnie and Ron share interests: photography, kickboxing, and interpretive dance.
    Re: Electives
      Considering how quickly Bonnie approached Kim and Ron, it could be she said that to be ironic (seeing as Ron put photography down as a back-up to his two back-ups, which turned out to be full). So there may not be any common interest.
    DYN #7
      Barkin's flashback to Vietnam reuses a background plate from "Monkey Fist Strikes" (and a scene set in Cambodia).
    DYN? #8
      When Jr. and Shego discover Granny Crocket's factory, Shego says "Sweet". Perhaps in reference to the cookies, cakes, etc. that she makes.
    DYN? #9
      In "All the News" Ron says how he lost $10 trying to win a stuffed hippo. In "Two to Tutor" we see a stuffed hippo as part of Ron's collection of 'friends.' Guess he finally won it.
    DYN? 10
      In this episode, it's apparent that Christy's (Kim's) voice was very slightly hoarse during the recording of the voice tracks. This is especially evident in the end when she says "No big! I've got a great tutor." to Ron. Her voice breaks up slightly.
    Re: DYN? 10
      Guess she was hoarse after almost drowning in a giant vat of cookie dough!
    DYN? #11
      We finally see Bonnie at school dressed in another outfit besides her cheerleading uniform and "Kimstyle." (See the "Kim Possible, you are *such* a loser" quote from "Kimitation Nation.")
    DYN? #12
      Zita Flores in the audience during Ron's cooking show.

      [ ^-- That's one of a handful of students introduced in the second season as a recurring extra, but I'm not sure we can say it's quite Zita. For one thing, Zita's eyes had whites in "Grudge Match". ]

    Re: DYN? #12
      While I seriously doubt that the girl is Zita (for one thing, she's not Hispanic) she could be an alteration or early draft of her.
    Re: DYN? #12
      Also, that same girl can be seen buying a ticket from Zita in "Grudge Match".
    DYN? #13
      In the establishing pan outside Granny Crocket's cookie factory, the background/foreground have been modified from those used in the "Twin Factor" cold opener.
    Spinning tops of Doom......
      SSJ seems to remember Ron's advice from "The New Ron" when one of his responses to Shego's question of what every villain needs is "Spinning tops of doom."
    Made for Each Other
      Shego & Junior can at least agree on one thing: Both like using the direct route to get rid of their enimies(Shego in "Job Unfair" & SSJ in every episode).
    "Those are the same old moves!"
      Ron was cursed with the mystical monkey power of Tai Shing Pek Kwar. Although his distaste for monkeys is practically legend, he could have used some of THOSE moves (monkey kung fu, that is) against Junior instead of the worn-out Keep-'Em-Confused-Then-Run-Away bit he did.
    Ron Responsible
      Have you noticed that Ron's performance seems to improve when he gets a job? (like in Bueno Nacho and The Fearless Ferret). In this episode, Ron figures out how to find Shego and SSJ, recreates the cafeteria menu, starts a cooking "show", and teaches Kim how to cook.
    FY1 #1
      "Slop Jockey" is a military term for a cook/chef. (In reference to the way food is slopped onto the plate)
    Junior: No where to run, Ron Stoppable.
      This is the first time, and probably the only time, Junior says(or remembers) Ron's name.
    DYN? #14
      Aside from Bates, Shego and Junior are the only KP villains with visible retinas. And, ironically, all three are "sidekicks".

      Cultural References
    None: None
      Ron appearing beside Kim in the mixing bowl is a mixed reference to the *Star Wars* films. The voice speaking an inspirational quote is a reference to Episode IV, and him appearing as a spirit is a reference to Episodes V and VI.
    Kim Possible: Villain's Digest?
      The picture Kim prints out is of a bald villain petting a white cat in front of a laser. This bears parallels to two James Bond flicks: The villain and cat resemble Blofeld and Mr. Fluffy (no relation to Commodore Puddles!). The laser? Well let's say it's from Goldfinger.
    Ron: And that, Kim, is why you fail.
      With the exception of the word Kim, that line is lifted directly from Empire Strikes Back, when Yoda is training Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Jedi.
    Ron: Now, time for a little cinnamon. And you all know what that means: Booyah!
      Ron's use of "Booyah!" as a catch phrase in his cooking demonstration mirrors TV chef Emeril Lagasse's hook: shouting "Bam!" as he adds ingredients. More Info
    Granny Crockett: Granny got some work done!
      A reference to Betty Crocker and her periodic image update. More Info
    Ron: When I was eight, my mom got me a Granny Crockett Quickie-Bake Mixer and Oven set.
      Hasbro's Easy-Bake Oven (which derives its heat from an ordinary lightbulb) has been churning out treats for little bakers (traditionally assumed to be girls) since 1963. More Info
    Ron:: "...I call it - 'Seven Layers of Heaven!"
      During his presentation in the Home Ec. room, Ron named his cake "Seven Layers of Heaven." In the Islamic religion, it is believed that the Prophet Muhammad had a spirital revealtion called "The Night Jorney." In it, he passed through the Seven Layers of Heaven and met the Prophets Abraham, Moses, Jesus, etc, and finally Allah (God). When our World History teacher told us about it, I KNEW I had heard that phrase before. Good 'ol KP!
