Schpielbunk's motto

In the episode Lights, Camera, Quacktion! the director, Cleavon Schpielbunk, introduces himself with a motto which is very similar to that of Team Rocket.


Prepare for trouble! No stunt double!
To protect the movies from devastation!
To restore spectacle and imagination!
To make great epics of hate and love!
To direct the best films you ever heard of!
Cleavon Schpielbunk, winner of the Golden Growlithe for best director at the Flea Collar Film Festival!
Lights! Camera!
Hit your mark when I call "Action!" or prepare to fight!
That's right!

The Chikorita Rescue

In this episode, Ash Ketchum breaks into a Team Rocket hideout to save a Chikorita, captured by Jessie and James. He recites a motto and Team Rocket instinctively says their phrases.

Summary

There are even more Team Rocket mottos, that have only been said in one episode - because they tend to change it, or have failed. Also, they usually have 'copied phrases', when a 'good person' asks a question; and if one of their team members are not at presence, on of the trio fills in for that person (e.g Jessie has a cold, then James fills her line...).  Preferences§1234567890-=Backspace Tabqwertyuiop[] Return  capslockasdfghjkl;'\ shift`zxcvbnm,./shift  English  Deutsch Español Français Italiano Português Русский alt alt  Preferences
