Quotes

Scamboli : They think they can mock me. A simple blackout and those little brats turned their back on me! Oh no now they have a problem, a major problem!
Cab : Major problem. Duh what problem boss?
Scamboli : Me! I want you two to go to the school. Get every one of those pint sized parasites back to Scamboland right now!
Rodo : We're on it boss.
[Cab the robot opens the gull wing door and slips out of the flying car while Rodo grabs his leg]
Rodo : You nit components!
-
Scamboli : [a giant hologram of Mayor Scamboli appears and the music stops] Silence!
Scamboli : Uh I mean, Welcome kids, junior citizens of Scamboville. It is my honor as your mayor, fulfilling my duty to you as responsible members of our fair city.
Zack : Blah, blah, blah, blah.
Scamboli : To offer You! Rides, like you have never even dreamed of.

Scamboli : Little brats. They don't appreciate the magnificence of the city I've built for them. It's the metropolis of the future. The pinnacle of progress.
Cab : Yes boss you said it boss.
[Rodo bumps into Cab]
Scamboli : The Temple of Technology. Ahh.
[Cab walks over the hologram table and examines the remote control]
Scamboli : Just look at my city Scamboville. Instead of trees and grass, there's steel and glass. Concrete! Asphalt! And thanks to me and my tireless efforts.
Rodo : Yay! Hooray for Mayor Scamboli!
[Cab picks up the remote and changes hologram channels from the city map of Scamboville to the Japanese Castle, the pyramid, and palm trees. Rodo notices, rolls up to Cab and they both fight over the remote control]
Scamboli : We have soaring towers, Gleaming industries, Mega brained robots. I could talk to you about Scambo welfare for retired robots, about scam bonuses for outstanding robot achievements. About, about Robo nursing or best executives. But what's the use do the children really appreciate my hard work?
[Rodo plays with the remote and jumps on the remote. Changing to a castle, an octopus, a pig, mushrooms, frogs, whale, Scamboli as a baby, then an Igloo]
Rodo : We do boss.
Scamboli : Right and I won't let those little termites destroy my creation.
Rodo : Never.
[Rodo gives the remote to Cab]
Scamboli : Cabby. Do you know what bothers me most about children?
[Cab tosses the remote control behind him, hits the table and the channel changes back to the hologram city map]
Cab : They don't pay taxes.
Scamboli : Worse it's their winy little voices I can't stand.

Marlene : Hi daddy!
[Marlene opens the automatic doors and walks right in the room]
Scamboli : Marlene ha! You know you're not supposed to barge in here!
Marlene : Hello sweetheart, I'm so happy to see you. Come give daddy a kiss.
[Cab and Rodo looks at Marlene]
Marlene : I've got a hot new program for you robots, wanna try it out?
[Marlene pulls out a CD disc out of her pocket]
Cab : Oh no don't! No! Eeee!
Scamboli : Don't mind.
Marlene : Trust me it's wicked.
[Marlene puts the CD disc in Cabs disc drive chest]
Cab : Please no! Not again!
[Cab goes wild and acts like a train, Marlene laughs]
Scamboli : Marlene will you ever grow up? You're ruining my robots!
Marlene : You and your silly robots. Who needs them anyway? kids need to play and have fun you know.
[Cab hops around the room]
Scamboli : Scamboville is fun.
Marlene : Not for us.
Scamboli : Nonsense. Why, haven't I created special passageways just for kids to walk to and from school?
Marlene : You don't get it, Scamboville is all about work and technology, there's no room for play.
[Cab dances around and acts like a monkey]
Scamboli : Of course there is, every building of a 30 stories has an authorized destressing room.
Marlene : But no where for kids to be happy daddy, we need our own space.
Scamboli : Your own space? Contain all the children in one single place. Yes what a brilliant idea hmm. Alright, I'll build you one.
Marlene : You will?
Scamboli : Yes, a place just for kids, and I'll call it Scamboland.
Marlene : Really! When will it be ready?
Scamboli : In no time at all.
[Marlene hugs her dad while he laughs]

Scamboli : [Mayor Scamboli broadcasts on the hologram TV advertising blimp] My fellow citizens. What I have created for the youth of Scamboville is no ordinary entertainment. It is the latest in technology.
Scamboli : [Meanwhile inside the freezer, Spencer the Penguin relaxes in his hammock drinking from a cup listening to island music when suddenly, his TV show gets interrupted by Mayor Scambolis broadcast annoucement] A world of rides and fun so totally new and unexpected.
Scamboli : Scam, Scam, Scam, Scamboli! Ah!
[Spencer falls out of his hammock. and the scene goes back to the advertisement blimp]
Scamboli : Tonight, I'm personally inviting every child in the city. To attend to the grand opening of Scamboland. I promise you all a good time. You children will never get over it.
-
Zack : Told you it would never work.
[the kids at the park continue to be upset and they walk away]
Scamboli : Don't go! Everything is under... Control!
[Mayor Scamboli's hologram turns off and shrinks to the real Mayor Scamboli. The kids makes fun of Mayor Scamboli and laugh]
Scamboli : Grr. We'll see who gets the last laugh!

Geppetto : [Geppetto continues to work on his hologram laptop and stops] Full power Spencer!
Scamboli : [Spencer turns on the switch and the electrical machine powers up] Yes! What?
Scamboli : [the machine doesn't have enough power and Gepetto looks at his touchscreen cellphone and the video of Mayor Scamoboli shows on screen] My daughter Marlene will now have the honor to cut the ribbon.
Spencer : Oh no! Not now you old rascal!
[the warning alarm turns on]
Spencer : We're losing it, we're losing it! We don't have enough power! Did you pay last months bill?

Scamboli : [Kid audience chanting] Five! Four! Three!
Geppetto : Two! One!
Scamboli : Zero!
[Then Marlene cuts the ribbon and the Scamboland theme parks power turns on and lights the rides, the kids are excited]
Geppetto : Now!
[Spencer the Penguin puts 2 jump start cables into the main power box and it knocks Spencer back and it causes a power outage in the city]
Scamboli : [the blackout happens at Scamboland with the lights going out, the kids are disappointed and the Mayor looks behind him] What? Turn those lights back on!
