Transcript

Inventor:

Listen up. Your new car is equipped with missiles, nail guns, and laser mirrors.

John:

Laser mirrors? You're joking.

Inventor:

I never joke about my gadgets, Agent Spiral.
<bzzt>

Polina:

It's Spaffgold's men. They'll never let me out of here.

John:

Just relax, Polina Bigbra. My car has a few tricks up its sleeve.
*missiles firing, explosions* *nails clattering, cars skidding* *lasers zapping*
<bzzt>

Auron:

In twenty seconds, my shrink ray will fire, reducing you to the size of a bee.

John:

You're forgetting one thing, Spaffgold. I know about Operation Fort Knox.

Auron:

Three words Polina mentioned. They mean nothing to you.

John:

Can you afford to take that chance?
<bzzt>
Your stables are quite impressive Spaffgold, as is your bourbon.
But you can't break into Fort Knox. There are 41,000 troops around it.

Auron:

A moot point, Mr. Spiral, when they're an inch high.

John:

You mean you're going to shrink Fort Knox? But a shrink ray that size...

Auron:

Polina's blimp IS a giant shrink ray. An ingenious plan, if I may say so myself.
<bzzt>

John:

Hanji, I know you're Spaffgold's loyal manservant...
...but he's just left you, me, and everyone else here to be shrunk by his ray.

Hanji:

A-ah!
*punching* <pain> *laser zaps*

John:

Sorry Hanji, you were a little too lase-y...

Trivia

  • Operation Fort Knox is a parody of the action-thriller film franchise, James Bond.
  • As can be understood from the Fort Knox Documentary home VHS tape, the movie came at 1964 and was shot at Fort Knox. With this in mind, the name is likely inspired by the Fort Knox in Knox Country.
  • There is a sequel to Operation Fort Knox named Dying Strike, which came out 30 years after the original was released.
  • The movie is briefly discussed in Alva Richards (Pierce Daniels) home VHS tape.
