Nora quotes from My Life as a Teenage Robot

Earrings? I designed a "state of the art", crime-fighting robot, not some simple mannequin to hang with googols and gimcrackery!

[as Jenny downloads updates for herself from the internet] XJ.9, don't do that! You'll go blind!

This suit converts kinetic energy into electric power. Every move you make will help make Sheldon a little younger.

[last lines of the series] Jenny, did you forget to feed the tiger?

Jenny

You never let me do ANYTHING I WANT! WORK! WORK! WORK! I NEVER GET TO HAVE ANY FUN! If you don't let me go, I'll... I'll...

Don't you raise your lasers to me, young lady!

Jenny

Your little girl is growing up.

You're right, XJ.9. Well technically you're wrong because you're a robot and will remain a teenager forever, but metaphorically, you're absolutely right.

Jenny

How is it, again, that you know the Minutians will land here?

They always land here. Why do you think I moved here?

Jenny

[takes off her old eyes, sets them on her bed, and puts on the multi-functional bug-eyed eyes; from her POV, Nora is all digital style] Whoa, you're all blocky style.

That's digital vision. Flip through the other settings.

Jenny

[flipping through] Ultraviolet vision. Infrared vision. X-ray vision! Heat vision! Rainbow vision. Oh, pretty colors! Wow, I even have sausage vision. [flips back to normal setting]

So, what you think?

Jenny

I think… [turns around, revealing the eyes are too big for her] I'll be the coolest-looking teenager ever!

Jenny

Hey, Mom, which setting is number one?

The number one? Normal.

Jenny

That's funny. I thought you said, "normal."

I did.

Jenny

[looks at her reflection, then Nora, then everything, all completely normal; enraged] Normal? You call this normal?! How could you do this to me?!

Do what? What are you talking about?

Jenny

I'm talking about these wiggly-squiggly bug snakes you call eyes!

XJ.9, you're not looking at the big picture.

Jenny

And you're not looking at this picture. It's called, "I made my daughter a total dweeb."

You don't look dweeb, I think you look very pa-hat.

Jenny

It's pronounced "fat," mother, and giant periscopes in your head are not phat, dope, or even cool! I want my old eyes back.

What? But these are far more efficient.

Jenny

Who cares about efficiency?

I do. And so should you, young lady. Now, stop being silly.

Jenny

The only way to stop being silly is to lose these jokes. [takes off and ditches the bug-eyed eyes, leaving her sightless]

XJ.9, you cannot go sightless. You have a job to do.

Jenny

Give me my old eyes back, and I'll do it.

Absolutely not.

Jenny

Fine! [starts walking off] I'll save the world without your stinking eye...[trips over a hot dog cart, getting hot dog wieners in her eye holes]

If you can't even conquer a hot dog cart, how can you hope to conquer evil?

XJ.9. XJ.9? XJ.9!

Jenny

[taking off her headphones] Mother, please don't call me that in front of the other robots! It's so embarrassing.

But I…

Jenny

Can't you call me Jenny, just for today?!

Yes, but I…

Jenny

Now, just leave me be until we get to the convention.

We are (already) at the convention.

Jenny

Thanks, Mom! [gets out of the car and dashes off] See you later!

XJ.9, wait!

Jenny

Mom! You completely violated my privacy!

Privacy, schmivacy. There's science afoot. It's my latest invention: Sleepy-time Mist for insomniac babies. It's a lullaby in bottle without being addictive or causing diarrhea. [notices an oil can on the bed] Wait, what's this? Oil on the bed? And just look at the mess! It's like you're an animal or something. How many times must I tell you? It's an eyesore, a safety hazard, and against zoning regulations!

Jenny

[fueling her face up with red of irritation; cannot take it anymore] THAT'S IT! I can't take it anymore! You interfere with my phone calls, my eating habits, you bother me about everything! You probably read my diary.

You keep spelling "infatuation" wrong.

You've destroyed the rocket, but did you disarm the war head?

Jenny

Did I what the what?

It's the part that goes BOOM!

Jenny

Oops...

Sheldon

[to Dr. Wakeman] A secret underground lair! This makes my garage workshop look like a workshop in a garage!

Where did you get that idea? A gumball machine?

Sheldon

I'll have you know gumball machines contain valuable information!

You are an amateur!

Sheldon

You are a Know-It-All!

Milbrat!

Sheldon

Birdnose!

How dare you?!

Sheldon

If you don't have her, and you don't have her, that means she's really missing!

We'll find her.

Sheldon

She could be anywhere between here and Cluster Prime!

Cluster Prime?! THAT'S why they won't stop calling me!

Jenny

What the heck was that all about?

XJs 1 and 2 are malfunctioning.

Jenny

I'll say, but why?
