Lad! I thought the traps would get you for sure!
[annoyingly points up to the upside-down buzzsaws; grumpily] Stupid upside-down temple! Nothing cool about walking under buzzsaws!
From now on, don't touch anything!

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[after Glomgold claims the Jewel of Atlantis] Who's that?
Flintheart Glomgold, the poor man's version of me. Which, to be fair, still makes him insanely rich.
[as the treasure room floods with water]
I knew it! I knew I couldn't trust you with the boys!
Not the time, Donald.
Crazy old man, all you care about is your next adventure! This is the Spear of Selene all over again!
I was not responsible for the Spear of Selene!
Hey team. Wanted to thank you all for keeping Scrooge's kin busy while I escaped with the jewel and blow up Atlantis with my most hated rival inside.
HHack
But I thought employees were greatest treasure of all.
Don't be ridiculous. Treasure is the greatest treasure of all. That's why it's called treasure. Glomgold out!
Now Donald, don't-
Stop. I admit, I'm a little overprotective.
A little?
No matter what I do, these boys will get into trouble, so maybe you could teach them how to get out of trouble.
Uncle Donald?
It might be okay if the boys saw you every once in a while. [Huey, Dewey, and Louie cheer] Sometimes, like birthdays, or federal holidays, nothing too- [Donald's boat explodes in the distance]
Ohhh, I may have left the engine running in the houseboat.
I may have a dozen or so spare bedrooms in the mansion.
[Donald chuckles, and the boys cheer again]
There you have it. Reclusive adventure capitalist Scrooge McDuck is back, with family in tow, solving mysteries, and rewriting history.
[after he reveals a hidden part of a portrait]
Mom?
Um, ocupado!
House meeting, now!
This may be Mr. McDuck's mansion, but it's my house. So... my house rules. Exhaustive. Comprehensive. Where are you going?
I got unmentionables to wash.
Rule 58: If you need something, ask for permission first.
[to his nephews] Did you hear that, boys? Ask permission.
Rule 23: No one is above the rules... Donald. If you had simply asked for assistance, we could've avoided what I'm referring to as the "Undergarment Incident."
I can take care of myself.
That is not your decision to make. You live here, you answer to me.
I answer to NO ONE!
Wait, are they gonna kiss?
HDHuey, Dewey, & Webby
Eww!
DBDonald & Beakley
Outside, now!
Oh, man, my phone's dead. Guess I gotta buy a new one.
Just charge it!
Eh, this one's three months old anyway. Who cares? We're rich! [throws his phone in the trash]
No, I'm rich! That's it, laddie. You are coming to the office to learn the value of a hard day's work. [grabs Louie by the hoodie and drags him out of the living room]
[catching Louie before he dives into the Money Bin] Are you out of your head?! You'll crack your skull open.
But you swim in money all the time.
Yes, but I worked hard to perfect that skill, building muscles and dexterity. If you want something, you work hard to get it.
[after Gyro interrupts a business meeting] I'm sorry, but we-
Apology accepted, now try to keep up with my mind-numbing genius.
Gyro, what did we say about interacting with other people?
[scoffs] The cards. Fine. [takes out index cards and begins reading] "Hello, Mr. McDuck... and others. Are you tired of all those single-use gadgets cluttering up your junk drawer? What a mess! There's got to be a better way!" [pulls out a small robot] Meet Lil' Bulb. A tiny, all-purpose robot that does it all.
Wait, what does it do?
It. All. Lil' Bulb is an artificially intelligent personal robot helper. He can make toast, find your keys, serve as a book light for your late-night reading. You'll never have to do anything yourself again.
Mmhmm. And how will you ensure this one won't achieve sentience and turn evil like all the others?
Only half my inventions turn evil. The other half are just wildly misunderstood.
A robot that does everything for you? How could you say no to that?
Part of hard work is knowing how to work with others. My board are the only people cheaper than I am. I trust them completely to make good financial decisions-
Indeed. Which is why we've called this meeting to discuss cutting your unnecessary spending here at the Money Bin.
Unnecessary?! I'm Scrooge McDuck! I don't spend one penny more than I need to!
It says here you're spending $15,000,000 on magical defense.
Do you have any idea how many vengeance curses I have on my head?!
[inserts a dollar into the Pep soda vending machine, but isn't enough to deposit ten cents] $1.10?! Who keeps dimes on them anymore? [heads back to Scrooge's office, notices the dime resting on a red velvet pillow and takes it] Sweet! Scrooge has an emergency dime. [inserts the dime into the vending machine and gets a Pep soda can] I'll pay you back later.
[Back in the meeting room…]
But how do you justify spending $5,000 on a velvet pillow for a dime?
That dime deserves its own velvet pillow! It's my number-one dime. The first dime I ever earned. I was a young shoeshine in Glasgow when a man came in, his boots cemented in mud. I worked, and worked until those boots sparkled. In return, he gave me an American dime. That dime inspired me to move to America and find my fortune. It means more to me than every bit of bullion in my Money Bin.
Gotta get the dime, gotta get the dime! [runs downstairs to the Pep soda vending machine; a worker is emptying the dimes into a cart and goes into the elevator, wearing a pair of headphones and listening to music] No, no, no, no, no, no… [the elevator closes and reaches the 57th floor] 57? Oh, boy. [gets exhausted by climbing the stairs while panting, and is shown to have only reach the second floor] COME ON!
