I've also bought a new zoo which you're going to be in charge of.

[[/note]], [[MenagerieOfMisery make sure the zoo is extremely profitable and then just pass a teeny tiny little inspection.]] Trust me - you'll have more spare time than you know what to do with! Oh, and also you have to research some bears or something. I forgot the details."''

->''"Ever since I was a kid, Shanks would tell me stories about pirates and their adventures. So, yeah, the sea's been calling. Well, not exactly calling, because I pretty much can't swim, but you get the idea. I'm setting out to follow my dream, to find the One Piece and become... '''[[SuddenlyShouting KING OF THE PIRATES]]'''! All I need is a loyal crew. I think about ten men should do. Well, ten men and a bird. It's not gonna be easy. The ocean is... is pretty big and kind of dangerous. So what do you say? Are you with me?"''

->''"In one scene, [[Series/HappyDays Winkler]] was supposed to comb his hair in the bathroom mirror, like all the kids did back then. Instead, he sauntered up to the mirror, started to comb, and immediately stopped. He stared into the mirror, arms outstretched, and realized his hair was [[TheAce already perfect]], and he was already the coolest guy in the world. 'AYYY!'"''

->''"Creator/KatyManning objects to being called 'dizzy' in the commentary to [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS8E2TheMindOfEvil}} The Mind of Evil]], but I think the tag stands if you watch her era from beginning to end. She's smart, resourceful, selfless...but she's also very dizzy at times. Jo Grant is an instant favourite and as she trips onto the scene with her [[NewAgeRetroHippie hippy hair and crazy clothes]] and walks straight into ruining one of the Doctor’s experiment (thinking she is [[UnwantedAssistance saving his life]]) and it is easy to see why a generation of teenagers might have fallen in love. There are few other assistants that prove to be as feisty and enterprising and yet also [[TheLoad fairly useless]] and somebody you would want to take under your wing and protect at the same time. It’s all down to Katy Manning’s very sweet performance and her chemistry with Creator/JonPertwee...Jo is very excited to inform the Doctor that she took an A Level in General Science but waits a while (when she has cocked something up) to [[MetaphoricallyTrue admit that she failed]]."''

You learn about people when you make them play defense: their reflexes, weaknesses, how they handle themselves under pressure. And even if they are able to counter, it never hurts to know how far they're willing to go."''
