The Nightmare Before Christmas, "Jack's Obsession"

Square: "Well let's look at the facts, shall we? You said something fairly innocuous that happened to give me a brilliant idea. In order to inflate your hopes and dreams before crushing them, I called you a genius. The truth however, is that I was the one who had the idea, whereas you were just some blathering idiot."

Square: "So remember, when someone says "you're a genius," what they really mean is, "I'm a genius.""

"The Superfriends solved crimes in two ways: asking their computer to do it, or stumbling onto the solution by saying something stupid. For example, Marvin might say, "They've kidnapped Aquaman! We're in a real pickle now!" Which would cause Batman to say, "That's it! Now I remember that they're keeping Aquaman at the Gotham Pickle Factory!" Idioms are half the Super Friends' detective work."
