Fender : You consider me a friend?
Rodney Copperbottom : Sure. What else would I consider you?
Fender : I don't know. An embarrassment? A way to rebel against your parents? A desperate cry for help? The list is endless.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Well, then why is she called Aunt Fanny?
Fender : Couldn't call her Aunt Booty.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : If anything goes wrong, we'll signal each other.
Fender : What kind of signal would you want? You want something kind of subtle, like...
[Whispers gibberish]
Fender : Or...
[Barks loudly like a seal]
Fender : Oh, how about this?
Fender : [Very loudly] Caw-caw! Caw-caw! R-R-R-R-R-Ricola!
Rodney Copperbottom : Subtle.

Rodney Copperbottom : This is our moment to shine, to show them what we're made of.

[lays an egg]
Fender : Whoa! Didn't know I could do that!
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Mr. Bigweld, are you okay?
Bigweld : I'm the prettiest girl at the Harvest Moon Ball.
Rodney Copperbottom : I'll take that as a no.

Rodney Copperbottom : Who wants to get fixed?
[All cheer, except for a dog, who cringes]
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Something's wrong. There's some-some highly polished jerk sitting in Bigweld's chair!
Tim the Gate Guard : Yeah, and you're sitting on the sidewalk, magentized!
Tim the Gate Guard : [laughs]
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Crank, the idol of millions is gone, and no one seems to care. There should be an angry mob out there.
[angry mob runs past the window]
Fender : [Fender, Rodney and the others go out to investigate the mob] Wow! That was great, psychic friend! Now say, "Money should be falling from the sky."

Fender : ...a scrounger!
-
Piper : Did I miss the butt wuppin'?
Crank , Fender , Rodney Copperbottom , Lug , Cappy : [surrounded by menacing machines, everyone freezes, staring at her and then move again] No.
Crank : Actually, you're a little early.
Piper : [the rest of the wall falls down, revealing an army of outmoded robots behind her, chanting "Rodney! Rodney! Rodney!"] Then let's get started!
Fender : Testify, sister!
Rodney Copperbottom : Charge!
Piper : Come on!
[All the bots move in to attack]
-
Fender : Oh, no!
Rodney Copperbottom : What?
Fender : We're going off the track! We're going to crash! I don't want to die!
[the sphere they are riding free falls and both scream; then the sphere lands in a catapult]
Fender : [laughing] I was just kidding! Put your head between your legs.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : When was the last time you got oiled?
Fender : Yeah, I can't really answer that in front of my kid sister.

[keeeps on taking photos]
Fender : loving it. Loving looving it
Rodney Copperbottom : I don't want my picture taken?
Fender : You don't
Rodney Copperbottom : No

[realizes he's gone]
Fender : hey where did he go
-
Forge : Parts, man! I need parts!
Rodney Copperbottom : You don't look that...
[Forge falls apart]
Rodney Copperbottom : ... bad?
-
Bigweld : Kid, if you're going to fight, I'm going in with you.
Rodney Copperbottom : You... you are?
Bigweld : Hey, who's the dame with the sweet keister?
Rodney Copperbottom : But why?
Bigweld : I don't know. I'm a big guy, and I like women with a large...
Rodney Copperbottom : No, no. Why are you going to help us?
Bigweld : Oh. Because, I want to grow up to be like you.
-
Fender : Hey, guys! The sweepers! They're rounding up all the outmodes! Not them, us! And you'll never guess who's behind it all!
Rodney Copperbottom : Ratchet.
Fender : Go on, guess. Come on, I ran all this way in cha-cha heels! Go ahead, take a stab!
Rodney Copperbottom : Ratchet!
Fender : Ratchet!
-
Cappy : [as they are being swept along by the tsunami of dominoes] What do we do?
Rodney Copperbottom : I don't know! This is a first for me!

Broken Arm Bot : Hey, could you look at my arm?
[the arm comes off in Rodney's hand]
Rodney Copperbottom : Uh, nice grip.
Broken Arm Bot : Like iron!
-
Tim the Gate Guard : Sorry, kid. Nobody gets in. Company rules.
Rodney Copperbottom : Company ru... Then how do they hire new inventors?
Tim the Gate Guard : They don't! Those days are over. You want my advice, mmm... come back two years ago and the job is yours.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : But you're Bigweld. You can fix anything.
Bigweld : I used to think so. To me the company was about making life better, but to Ratchet, it was making money that came first. I became old-fashioned, and outmode. Ratchet beat me, and he's gonna beat you.
Rodney Copperbottom : But...
Bigweld : The world you're looking for no longer exists. You missed it. Find some other foolish dream.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : So, what are you guys doing today?
Fender : We're doing it.
Piper : What about you?
Rodney Copperbottom : Mr. Bigweld is missing and you're all just going to sit around and do nothing?
Fender : I think that's already been established.
-
Ratchet : [as the other bots are soon cornered by his new bot destroying machines] This is gonna get *greasy*!
Bigweld : You thinking what I'm thinking?
Rodney Copperbottom : I sure am.
[Heads up with Bigweld to a spot in the chop shop with a big gear on a lever, then detaches the lever, making it swing towards the machines with them hanging onto it]
Rodney Copperbottom : See a need, fill a need!
Bigweld : [Freaked out] This isn't what I was thinking at all!
[the gear and lever soon swing right into the machines, knocking them over]
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Hey! You're Tim from the TV show!
Tim the Gate Guard : That's me!
Rodney Copperbottom : Well, hey, Tim! Who closed the gate? It's never supposed to be...
Tim the Gate Guard : Yeah, okay. What do you want?
Rodney Copperbottom : Huh? Oh. I'd like to see Mr. Bigweld. I'm an inventor.
Tim the Gate Guard : Oh! Why didn't you say so? Stand back.
[Tim opens the gate; Rodney stands in awe]
Rodney Copperbottom : Thanks.
[Starts to go in, but the gate closes suddenly]
Rodney Copperbottom : What?
Tim the Gate Guard : I gotcha! You see, 'cause you were all excited, and then boom!
[laughs]
Tim the Gate Guard : All right, I had my laugh. Go on in.
[the gate opens; Rodney starts walking, but the gate closes again]
Rodney Copperbottom : What? Hey!
Tim the Gate Guard : [laughing] Now that's funny! The second time! You really think I'm going to let you in! But I'm not.
-
Rodney Copperbottom : Oh, well, then let me show you what this can do.
Ratchet : I have a better idea.
[plucks Wonderbot]
Ratchet : Why don't you let me show you what it can do. It can do this!
[kicks Wonderbot out of sight]

Mr. Gunk : COPPERBOTTOM!
[Wonderbot, Rodney and Herb reacts to him]
Herb Copperbottom : Mr. Gunk!
Mr. Gunk : What is that?
Herb Copperbottom : Oh, that... My son made it.
Mr. Gunk : What's it doing?
Rodney Copperbottom : Mr. Gunk, please! You're making it nervous!
[Wonderbot goes crazy, wrecking the plate and crashes it, wrecking the pots]
Mr. Gunk : It's wrecking my kitchen!
[crashes and grabs the Axe]
Mr. Gunk : I'll stop it!
Rodney Copperbottom : NO!
[grabs his ankle and he fells into the oil]
Mr. Gunk : Your son, huh!
Rodney Copperbottom : It wasn't his fault! He had nothing to do with!
Herb Copperbottom : Yes, sir. He's a brilliant boy, an inventor.
Mr. Gunk : [points to him] You, clean up this mess!
[to Rodney, points to him]
Mr. Gunk : And YOU! GET OUT! Inventor. You're the hand-me-down son of a dishwasher, and that's all you'll ever be! Somebody scrape this crud off of me. And serve it to the customers.
