Inspector Gadget Faces Dismissal from Chief Quimby
Inspector Gadget
Fired? You can't fire me. I quit! (Quimby scoffs) Wait a second, I don't want to quit. Besides, Chief, it's not my fault. (Gadget pulls out a chip that Claw's men left on his back to prove to Chief Quimby that he has actually found evidence) Look what Baxter found on me: a circuit override chip.
Chief Quimby
(Furious as he refuses to listen and doesn't care, since Gadget is fired) I don't care! Claw stole the laser, and you tarred and feathered the mayor in toothpaste, and caused $100,000 in damages! (sternly) Turn in your badge, Gadget.
Inspector Gadget
(shocked) Oh, but Chief, all I ever wanted to be my entire life, was a crime fighter.
Chief Quimby
(still stern) Your badge. (Gadget pulls out his badge from his coat pocket, and slides it in front of Chief Quimby) Well, that would be all... Mr. Gadget.

Stakeout Tensions Between Inspector and Gadgetmobile
Inspector Gadget
We're on a stakeout, Gadgetmobile!
Gadgetmobile
No, you're on a stakeout. I'm on a sleep-in. So keep it down, a'ight?
Inspector Gadget
The least you could do is stay alert.
Gadgetmobile
Alert for what? Face it, Inspector G, since we locked up Claw, all the bad guys have been too afraid to show their faces in Riverton.
Inspector Gadget
One thing I've learned in all my years of crime fighting, Gadgetmobile, is that it's always the most quiet right before the criminals strike!

Inspector Gadget's Misunderstanding of Criminality
Penny
Hey, Uncle Gadget! Hi, Brain!
Inspector Gadget
Penny, I thought we agree to call me "Inspector" in front of the harden criminal.
Penny
She's a harden criminal?
Inspector Gadget
Don't be fooled by appearances, Penny. Look what I found under her purse. (shows false teeth) Probably from one of her victims. And look at this. (shows prune juice) Liquid evil.
Mrs. Quimby
But, Inspector...
Inspector Gadget
Save it for the judge, perp. Yeah, "but, but, but". Everybody's got a big "but".

Minions Question Their Master’s Demands
Dr. Claw
Brick, retrieve my darts! McKibble, serve my tea!
McKibble
I don't see why we gotta retrieve your darts and serve your tea.
Brick
Yeah!
McKibble
We're vicious minions, not valets.
McKibble
One sugar, or two?
Dr. Claw
Two.
Brick
Here, boss. Dr. Claw, the place is a dump. What happened to your multi-million dollar high-rise evil headquarters?
Dr. Claw
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO IT?!
Dr. Claw
When Gadget arrested me, the police confiscated all my assets. But after we've pulled out the crime of the century, I'll be back on top again.
McKibble
Great. Another crime of the century. I'm still on parole for the last one.
Brick
What's the plan this time?
Dr. Claw
Watch and see. (turns on the TV)
TV Anchor
The Federal Reserve Bank with a deposit of over five trillion dollars in pure gold was build two years ago after Riverton declared statistically the safest City in America. Utilizing the latest in security technology and a squadron of armed guards, the bank is considered impregnable.
Dr. Claw
(turns off the TV and crushes the remote) Not for long.
Brick
We're gonna rob the Federal Reserve!
Dr. Claw
Right before Riverton's eyes, and there won't be a thing Inspector Gadget can do about it.
Brick
How we gonna do that? They said the bank was impenetra-- impreg-- Really hard to get into.
McKibble
Yeah. I don't see how.
Dr. Claw
That's why you're just minions, and I'm an evil genius.
Brick
He's got a point.
McKibble
Yeah.
Dr. Claw
We are going to build the ultimate super weapon! But we haven't much time. We need to be ready in ten days, because next Thursday at exactly 9:23 A.M., the X-Force One Satellite will be directly over Riverton. And by then, we need to steal ion fuel cells, a protoid laser, and a ruby. Plus, a few miscellaneous knick knacks.
Brick
Yum. (smacks lips) I love knick knacks. (McKibble groans)

Misunderstandings in a Stakeout Situation
Chief Quimby
(Furious) GADGET! I told you specifically not to go to the stakeout!
Inspector Gadget
That's not entirely accurate, chief. You told me not to get within 100 yards of the stakeout and I posted myself exactly 101 yards away.
G2
Then how did you manage to get tangle up with me inside the warehouse?
Inspector Gadget
Well, you gave me backup at the bar, I thought I'd give you backup at the warehouse.
G2
I never need backup.
Inspector Gadget
Chief, you have to put me back on the case. The Department needs me!

Reactivation of a Talented Detective
G2
What happened?
Inspector Gadget
I reactivated you.
G2
Inspector Gadget, why you'd do that?
Inspector Gadget
Well, I hate to see a good detective being recycled and I always have great admiration for your investigating abilities.
G2
Inspector, are you saying you like me? (Gadget drinks some blue substance but spits it out)
Inspector Gadget
Well, I suppose, in a man of speaking. Strictly professional.
G2
Thank you.
Inspector Gadget
You're welcome.

Claw? Well, if you want to find him, you're gonna have to grease a few palms, if you get my drift.
Inspector Gadget
Well, whatever you say. Here you go. (squirts axle grease into the bartender's hand) Top-grade axle grease.
Bartender
(grabs the grease in his fist and gets angry) Why, you…
Inspector Gadget
Go, go, gadget duck. (retracts his head into his collar like a turtle and the bartender punches the man behind him; that man falls against an arm wrestler, who bumps into pool player, causing the cue ball go ricochetting across the room. The cue ball hits a bald dart player's head, and the man falls, destroying a card game table and thuds to the floor, unconscious. Gadget sees the angry patrons advancing on him) Check, please. Just a check.
Squint
So, when do we start working for Dr. Claw?
McKibble
Immediately.
Penny
Did You Hear That, Brain?
Inspector Gadget

Where is he?! Gadget!
Baxter
Ooh. Oh.

Inspector Gadget
Those "cookies" were three days past expiration date!
Chief Quimby

I know this one. The ruby.

Yes, but a big ruby, say, about 50,000 karats. (chuckles)
McKibble
Your Clawsomeness, where we gonna find a rock that big?

The Riverton Museum. The ruby will be unloaded by the Rajah of India Wednesday night at the Mayor's fundraising. We are going to stop by and do a little fundraising of our own. (laughs)

Never mind that. We can solve it together, track down Claw and hopefully get you your job back.

Penny
Alright, I'll track down Claw myself.
Inspector Gadget
No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You'll stay out of this. Do you understand? This is a grown-up problem.
[firmly, as he refuses to allow Penny to find more evidence by herself]
Penny
Uncle Gadget, just give me a chance. One chance.
[begging]
Inspector Gadget
Look, the fact is, that there's nothing you or anyone can do to help me. I'll never be a crime fighter...never again.
[sincerely, since he has given up being a crime fighter]

You don't believe in me.
