Brenda, Sanford Scolex. We were at Harvard together.
Brenda We were?
Oh, you don't recognize me; that's because I've changed. I was obese. Maybe you remember me like this.
(Dr. Claw fills his mouth with air to make Brenda remember)

Let me give you a lift. Where could I drop you off?
I could answer but I don't really care.

Hi, John, how you're doing down there?

JOHN!!
Chief Quimby
[After Gadget had grabbed the wrong set of balls, causing the Guru to scream in a pitchable voice]
Well, I guess $6 million doesn’t buy what it used to. [laughs]
Brenda Bradford Excuse me. [goes to the Guru’s aid and an ambulance is called from offscreen]
Brenda Bradford I've got something special to show you. Ta-da! The Gadgetmobile.
Inspector Gadget
Wow.
Brenda Bradford It's for you. [Gadget is stunned] I made it myself. Come on.
Inspector Gadget
You made me a car? The only thing anybody's ever made me before is a sweater!
Brenda Bradford All right. Now, it may look simple, but this thing has just about as many factory extras as you do. [Gadget hesitates] Come on. Get in there.
Inspector Gadget
Oh.
Brenda Bradford Watch the coat. Okay.
Inspector Gadget
[intrigued]
Gosh. She's incredible.
Brenda Bradford Oh, it's a he.
Inspector Gadget
Excuse me?
Brenda Bradford You'll see. Okay, now, it has voice activation, ejection seats, a power-assisted metamorphic camouflage system, a cardio-homing device, then there's a periscope, a candy--
Inspector Gadget
Dr. Bradford, there's something I just have to ask you.
Brenda Bradford Oh, just say "Go, Go, Gadgetmobile."
Inspector Gadget
Yes, but will you-- "Go, Go, Gadgetmobile"?
Gadgetmobile
Good mornin', Riverton! Hey! Who's in the car? I work alone! [he drives off with Gadget in the seat] Hey. Before we hit the road, I gotta tell you somethin'. Duck!
Brenda [Gadget hits his head on garage door with a clang.]
Ohh.
Inspector Gadget
I don't think the car likes me!
Gadgetmobile
Who you calling "car"? I'm a crime-fighting machine. Watch this. Back turn! Haven't you fallen out yet?
Inspector Gadget
No, sir, I haven't!
Gadgetmobile
Who are you, rookie?
Inspector Gadget
I'm Officer John Brown, and you're exceeding the speed limit.
Gadgetmobile
[Inspector Gadget tries to stop the Gadgetmobile, but can't]
Speed limits are for cars, not the Gadgetmobile.
Inspector Gadget
Are you… Are you talking to me?
Gadgetmobile
Speaking of breaking the law, who's not wearing a seat belt? You gotta wear the belt, baby. [fastens belt with the "Inspector Gadget" logo.] It's a Disney movie. Now, I'm gonna find me some crime. Whoo! More back turns!
Inspector Gadget
Can you slow down, please? I-- I get carsick.
Gadgetmobile
Well, you know what makes me people-sick? A rookie thinkin' he's good enough for Dr. B.
Inspector Gadget
Not that it's any of your business, but what makes you think I was putting the moves on Dr. Bradford?
Gadgetmobile
Hey, I got heat sensors, and I know what you're thinkin' when Dr. B. gave you that smile. Now, look here, come clean with me, or I'm gonna bounce you right outta here.
Inspector Gadget
I can assure you, my only interest in Dr. Bradford is professional.
Gadgetmobile
[laughs sarcastically]
Professional, huh? Well, good. Keep it that way, and that's an order. You got it?
Inspector Gadget
Uh, I'm the inspector, you're the car.
Gadgetmobile
I'll tell you what you are. You're the… [Gadget punches Gadgetmobile] Don't make me go "De La Hoya!" on you!
Inspector Gadget
Isn't there an off-button or something? A mute? [Paintball hits a man] Sorry, sir!
Gadgetmobile
Don't push my buttons without reading the manual! [sees hot dog vendor] Ooh, watch out there, now! [avoids hot dog vendor] Ha-ha!
Hot Dog Vendor
Hmm?!
Gadgetmobile
Oh, man, I got a June bug in my grill. [spits out June bug, which splats on the camera lens.]
Inspector Gadget
Shouldn't we be working together, helping people?!
Gadgetmobile
Why didn't you say so? [stops] Yo, close-up! Nine o'clock! Left, you idiot!
[Dr. Claw interrupts Brenda and John's dancing.]
May I cut in? [John and Brenda look at Dr. Claw.] Hello. Sanford Scolex. We were at Harvard together.
Brenda We were?
Oh, you don't recognize me. That's because I've changed. [whispers to Brenda] I was obese. [chuckles] Maybe you remember me like this. [mimics a fat face]
Brenda [gasps; remembers]
Yes! [Dr. Claw and Brenda laugh] Wow! [Dr. Claw stops laughing] Well, i-it's nice to see you again.
Brenda Well, it's really nice seeing you. You look...different.
Brenda Bradford [Gadget hits window after using grappling hook.]
John! [mutes TV] What happened?! I'll go get Scolex. Maybe he can help.
Brenda, it's not safe here! Scolex is a liar, and a thief, and-- Well, let's just say he's not a very good guy! Go home! Lock your doors! Stay alive! Whatever happens, I will find you!
[Gadget tugs at cord; is pulled out of the window and plunges into a ventilator.]
Whoa! Too far. :[Falls down ventilation shaft into Scolex' laboratory; sees the robotic foot on a plinth, surrounded by alarms]. Wowser! I knew it. You'll pay for this, Scolex. Go-go suction shoes!
Brenda Bradford Two things, Scolex! One, you are completely insane, and two, I liked you better fat!
[Dr. Claw gasps in shock, and Sniffy hides under the seat] [getting an idea]
Bring on the brownies! Ha! Wheel in the waffles! I'm ready to binge! Ha-ha-ha! [Inspector Gadget arrives in his helicopter hat to save Brenda] Darn! That fellow will not give us a break!
For the third time! Sanford Scolex, you are under arrest!
Brenda [Scolex fires missile]
No!
[missile destroys Inspector Gadget's helicopter hat.] [mocking]
Go Go Go Go Go Gadget! [sticks out tongue and laughs mockingly. Gadget stands up. Dr. Claw flies after Gadget and laughs evilly.]
Brenda John!
[Dr. Claw lifts Inspector Gadget on his helicopter landing gear]
Let me give you a lift! [laughs evilly] Where can I drop you off?
I'd answer, but I doubt you'd really care! [whimpers in fear]
Brenda John, I'm up here! Take my hand!
Hi, John, how you're doing down there?
Brenda John!
Brenda John! I know you can save us! Think of something!
I'm working on it! [takes out pen from his finger and spends time making something out of it.]
Brenda Hurry! [grunts]
[closes both eyes and imitates Swami]
Try to visualize your goal. [echoes] Visualize your goal.
[in slow-mo, Gadget quickly pulls apart the pen, and, in normal speed, makes ink cartridge slingshot onto Dr. Claw's button on his claw, destroying the joystick and freeing Brenda.] [his claw is still moving]
Ugh. Back to the drawing board! [Brenda punches him three times, leaving him stunned]
Brenda, jump! Right on my back!
Oh, Brenda, don't jump! For God's sake, we can work this out! Darling, sweetie pie, really! [Brenda screams and jumps on Gadget. Dr. Claw tries control his helicopter but can't.] My God! Me, I'm out of control!
[Inspector Gadget and Brenda slide off of Dr. Claw's helicopter landing gear]
Go, Go, Gadget, Air Brakes! Uh, Go, Go, Gadget, Airplane! I don't know what to "Go, Go" anymore!
Brenda Bradford Didn't you read the manual?! Try something else!
[trying to activate other Gadgets while he and Brenda fall]
Go, Go, Gadget, Glider! Go, Go, Gadget, Balloon! Go, Go, Gadget, Parachute! Go, Go, Gadget, Giant Trampoline! Go, Go, Gadget, Circus Net! Go, Go, Gadget, Featherbed! Go, Go, Gadget, Hay Wagon! Go, Go, Gadget, Bubble Wrap! Go, Go, Gadget, Parasail! Parakeet! Paraglider! Parasol! [deploys umbrella from his hat; surprised] Umbrella?
Brenda Bradford [relieved]
John! You did it! [kisses him] You saved our lives!
I did? I guess I did! Wowzer!
Brenda Bradford Just watch out for the big head.
[not understanding Brenda]
Understood, Brenda. You know, arrogance can sneak up on you, and I've always felt that--
Brenda Bradford [getting Gadget's attention]
No, that big head! Aah!
[sees Scolex's statue]
Oh, no! [he bumps into the statue, and he and Brenda are separated as they fall, with Gadget's parachute deploying through his back, while the statue falls backwards, and the head breaks off of the statue]
