Ron takes Kim out to dinner, embarrassing her by ordering from the kiddie menu so he can use a "kids eat free" coupon. After some nudging from Kim and Monique, Ron tries looking for a job, only to lose each of them after some mishap or other.
Meanwhile, Dr. Drakken rants to his cellmate Frugal Lucre that he will surely be broken out of prison any time now. A helicopter arrives, dangles a ladder near the window… and then moves off to another cellblock to blow a hole in Shego’s cell wall and fly her out. It turns out that Señor Senior, Jr. broke her out to help pull off “a big job” as a birthday present for his father.

If you are interested in having the five richest people in the world safely returned to you, you need to convey to us the sum of a bazillion zillion dollars. (lame attempt at an evil laugh)
Shego (offscreen): That’s not a real number.
Señor Senior, Jr.: But it sounds so impressive! And don’t you like my evil chortle?
Shego (pushes SSJ aside): Hi, he’s new at this. A billion dollars apiece will do just fine. - Faked Kidnapping: Junior and Shego claim to be holding the five richest people in the world for ransom while they're simply playing their usual card game on Senior's island.

For customer service, press "1". For job opportunities, press "2". To demand an enormous amount of money for the safe return of our founder, press "3".
Junior presses "3".
Phone Voice: Please enter the enormous amount of money you are demanding.
Junior: This is even easier than I anticipated!
Junior enters "1" followed by many zeroes. - Jumping Out of a Cake: Shego gets the wrong idea about what Junior wants her for:Shego: Not to seem ungrateful Junior, but why did you break me out of prison?
Junior: Well, my father’s birthday is coming up—
Shego: Hold it right there, slick, I don’t do cakes, okay? I don’t bake 'em, and I don’t jump out of 'em. - Mid-Battle Tea Break: Kim and Shego briefly interrupt their fight in San Francisco to share their frustration about the parking situation as Ron and Junior try to find an open space.
