ScroogeEfficiency has its place but NOT in my hot chocolate.
ScroogeNo battery-operated tin can dictator is going to stop me!
[gets shocked]
Nothing can stop him!
I have to rebuild half the city, and I can't use my robots!
ScroogeMcDuck Construction will be glad to handle the job for you.
How much will that cost?!
ScroogeHow much you got?
Scrooge McDuck, you're a low-down ruthless rat!
ScroogeWhat can I say, Flintheart? You bring out the best in me.
It's a shadow thief!
ScroogeAfter him! Er.. her! Er.. it!
Shadow took over, locked Magica in a closet! Free her!
ScroogeFree that-that-that WITCH?! Never! It serves her right! She can stay locked in 'til Doomsday and it would be just ducky with me.
But if she gets rid of that shadow...

Wonder where this goes.

Hey. What's this? [pulls a string and turns on a lightbulb]
Looks like a lightbulb.
ScroogeGood work, lads.
You're so smart, Uncle Scrooge.
ScroogeThanks, darling. And wasn't it smart of you to notice?
[Scrooge is arm-wrestling the other inmates in quick succession]
Scrooge[wins] Next. [wins] Next. [wins] Next.
[rubbing his hand] How'd you get so strong, McDuck?
ScroogeBy lifting moneybags.
I lifted some moneybags once... right before they threw me in here.
Surprise, Mr. McD!
Scrooge[happily] Launchpad, you're alive! [raises his cane] I'M GOIN' TA KILL YOU!
Uncle Scrooge?
Scrooge[waking up from his nightmare] Huh? What?
You were having a nightmare in the middle of the day!
ScroogeAye! And what a horrible, uh, daymare it was, darling.
What were you dreaming about, Uncle Scrooge?
ScroogeEarthquakes. There was another one yesterday.
But none of them were anywhere near Duckburg.
ScroogeThey were in my dream, under my money bin, to be exact.
Aw, dreams don't mean anything, Uncle Scrooge, unless they come true.
ScroogeAye, and that's why I have Gyro Gearloose dreaming up some safety measures.
[giving him massive jewels] Is it a deal, Mr. McDuck?
ScroogeIt's a deal.
Don't worry. Launchpad taught us everything he knows about flying.
ScroogeNow I'm worried.
