 * Singing a scheming song (for example: Be Prepared, This Day Aria, Ruber's Song).
 * Lurking in secrecy/hiding.
 * Seeking vengeance on someone.
 * Manipulating the hero(es).
 * Ordering his/her subordinates.
 * Making a deal with someone.

Part 1
"(In the outskirts of Pepperland, the wicked Blue Meanies band together, cheering and laughing.) Pepperland is a tickle of joy on the blue belly of the universe. (As he speaks, the Chief Blue Meanie is carried forward on a litter by four of his guards. They set him down and march away; he turns to his lackey, Max.) It must be scratched. Right, Max? (Max: Yes, Your Blueness.) (exploding with rage) WHAT?!?! (The Chief grabs Max by his hat and lifts him up to his hideous face.) We Meanies only take NO for an answer! (drops him on the ground) Is that understood, Max?! (Max: No, Your Blueness.) (calmly) That's better. Are the troops in readiness? (Max: No, Your Blueness.) The Bonkers? (Max: No.) (The Apple Bonkers raise humungous apples over their heads.) Clowns? (The Clockwork Clowns spin their heads and sound an ear-splitting alarm.) (Max: No.) Snapping Turks? (The Snapping Turks snap their razor-toothed jaws.) (Max: No.) Anti-music missiles? (Max: No.) The Dreadful Flying Glove? (Max: No.) Splendid! (The Chief Blue Meanie's eyes glow with evil.)

- The Chief Blue Meanie plotting to seize power over Pepperland. "Look at her, LeFou. My future wife. Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village. That makes her the best. (LeFou: But she's so well-read. And you're so...athletically inclined.) I know. Belle can be as argumentative as she is beautiful. (LeFou: Exactly! Who needs her when you've got us!) Yes. But ever since the war, I felt like I've been missing something. She's the only girl that gives me that sense of... (LeFou: Je nais se quois?) I don't know what that means."

(Zach: We're not friends.) (Champ: Barely know him.) (R.L. Stine: Slappy, it's so nice to see you again.) Did you miss me? (R.L. Stine: Of course I missed you.) (Slappy holds up the key to the manuscript.) So, what's the plan, friend? You must've brought me out for something fun. Terrorize the locals? Destroy the town? Let's get silly! (R.L. Stine: You guessed it, Slappy. I'm going to destroy Madison, and I couldn't do it without you.) Aw, shucks. You're giving me...Oh, what's the word? Goosebumps? (Slappy lets out an evil laugh.) (Champ: Oh, my God. He's so creepy.) (R.L. Stine: Oh, he is such a crack-up. Such a clever dummy.) Who you are calling "dummy," dummy? (Slappy looks down and notices the open book. His eyes burn with rage.) You're trying to put me back in?! (R.L. Stine: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't be silly.) I know when you're LYING to me, Papa! (Stine lunges for Slappy, but he reappears on the chair and strikes a match, ready to burn the manuscript.) You've made Slappy very unhappy. He's not going back on the shelf, EVER again. (R.L. Stine: Slappy, no, wait!) (Slappy lights the book, setting it on fire, then tosses it to the floor.) I think it's time I started pulling the strings in this relationship. Tonight is gonna be the best story you've ever written. ALL of your children are coming out to play. (With an evil cackle that the Joker would have appreciated, Slappy slips into the night.)"

- Slappy the Dummy plotting revenge against R.L. Stine for his long imprisonment.

"(Jenna: So long as the medicine gets through, stop being such a glory hound.) You're hundred percent right Jenna. I...I wasn't thinking about those children.

"They call me terrorist, radical, zealot, because I obey the ancient laws of my people, the Kree, and punish those who do not.

(Prisoner: You can't do this! Our government signed a peace treaty!) (Ronan picks up his Cosmi-Rod as he speaks.) My government knows no shame. You Xandarians and your culture are a disease.

"(After Shaggy and Scooby expose him as a fraud and his career goes down the drain, Krudsky mopes around in his circus tent.) Blast those teenage troublemakers! If word gets out, I'll be ruined! (Fairy Princess Willow pokes her head out from behind a set of books and sees what is happening.) It's not my fault I'm a big phony. I've spent a lifetime in search of REAL magic. (Krudsky pulls out his spellbook and rummages through some pages.) I've studied every spell, spoken every incantation... (He tosses the book aside.) There must be something I'm missing. (Krudsky grabs some books, causing Willow to tumble onto one. The book tumbles to the floor and opens up to reveal a page showing a magic staff - the Goblin Scepter. The magician gasps with delight.) The Goblin Scepter. Fabled wand of the great Goblin King! (He reads from the book.) "Bewitched by the darkest magic, he who holds the Goblin Scepter holds the magic of Halloween in its grasp!"

(Mowgli hides behind Akela, his eyes wide with terror.) (Akela, sternly: Mowgli belongs to my pack, Shere Khan.) Mowgli? They've given it a name. When was it we came to adopt Man into the jungle? (Akela, defending Mowgli: He's just a cub.) Does my face not remind you of what a GROWN man can do? (As he speaks, Shere Khan reveals the burn on his face.) You change your hunting ground for a few years, and everyone forgets how the Law works. Well, let me remind you. A Man-cub becomes Man, and MAN IS FORBIDDEN!"

"(Mr. Smee walks into Captain Hook's chambers. The captain is lying face-down on his desk.) (Smee: Cap'n? Cap'n? As I was sitting wide-eyes on my watch, I noticed it was wintertime on the water and springtime on the shore. I says to meself, "That's early for spring to be astir. Spring's not due till 3 PM. Check the time yourself, Cap'n, and then tell...) (As he speaks, Smee places a pocket watch on the desk. In a fit of rage, the captain takes out a hook and smashes it to pieces. Slowly, Hook lifts his scraggly head.) I was dreaming, Smee, of Pan. (Smee: Pan, Cap'n?) (Hook pulls out a goblet of wine and drinks from it.) And in my dream, I was a magnanimous fellow...full of forgiveness. (He raises his right arm, showing a stump where his hand once was.) I thanked Pan...for cutting off my hand...and giving me this fine hook...for disemboweling and ripping throats... (he places a prosthetic arm on his right hand) ...and other such homely uses...as combing my hair. (Smee, holding out the hook: So, Pan did you a favor then, Cap'n?) A favor? (Hook fastens the sharp hook to the arm and begins to screw it in.) He threw my hand to a crocodile. The beast liked it so much, it's followed me since, licking its lips for the rest of me. (He clicks the hook into place and holds it up to Smee's face.) YOU CALL THAT A FAVOR?! (Smee, terrified: No. No. No. No.) (Hook pushes Smee's glasses up on his nose.) (Smee: Thank you.) Thank Lucifer the beast swallowed a clock. (Hook throws the broken pocket watch into a pile of smashed clocks, then puts his wounded arm into a pot of warm water.) If it wasn't for the ticking, it would have had me by now. Why did you wake me, Smee? (Smee: Like I said, Cap'n, the ice is melting. The sun is out. And the flowers are all in bloom.) (Hook raises his shiny, sharp weapon, grinning evilly.) He's back."

- Captain Hook plotting revenge on Peter Pan for the loss of his hand.

- Kylo Ren plotting to finish Darth Vader's mission.

"Yes, hurry home, Princess. We wouldn't want to miss old Daddy's celebration, now, would we? Huh! Celebration indeed. Oh, bah! In MY day, we had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace. And now, look at me--wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled and practically starving, while he and his flimsy fish-folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam! Jetsam! I want you to keep an extra close watch on this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key to Triton's undoing..."

"You're wondering why you can't look inside my head. (Scarlet Witch: It's hard. But sooner or later, every man shows himself.) (Ultron rises from his throne and pulls a tarp off of his body, revealing himself.) Oh, I'm sure they do. (Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver's eyes widen with terror.) But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Stark take the scepter. (As he speaks, Ultron descends from his throne.) (Scarlet Witch: He didn't suspect. But I saw Stark's fear. I knew it would control him, make him self-destruct.) Everyone creates the thing they dread. Men of peace create every means of war, invaders create avengers, people create... smaller people. Uh... children! (Ultron laughs.) I lost the word there. Children designed to supplant them, to help them... end. (Scarlet Witch: Is that why YOU'VE come? To end the Avengers?) I've come to save the world. But also...yeah."

- Ultron making a deal with Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and plotting to bring down the Avengers and take over the world.

"The Toa have returned, as you said they would. Even now, their broken bodies are being brought to me so I may drain them of their elemental powers - powers I will use to shatter the wretched seal that keeps us apart. And then there will be no need for a worthless ruler like Sidorak, who would wash his hands of conflict rather than dirty them with it. Together, you and I will teach the sleeping Matoran to obey your will."

"(Dr. N. Gin: But Doctor Cortex, to reach full power we need not only your master crystal, but also the remaining 25 slave crystals from the surface.

"You've really outdone yourself this time, haven't you? (Giggling) Moved up the ranks to the number-two spot in record time, even for me! This is better than I've ever been! Tomorrow, all you need to do is get booty-for-brains out of the way and you'll be number one! That's right, number one! (Laughs maniacally) That means the King. (continue laughs maniacally and heard the thunder) Didn't look like rain. (laughing again)"

Shore leave's over! Get your sorry carcasses on board now! (The crew nervously obeys; Gutt whistles for his narwals to propel the ship. Then he glares at Shira) (Shira: Gutt, I can explain--)(Gutt siezes Shira by the throat) When this ends, I'll have a tiger's skin hanging on my wall. I don't care whose! (Flings Shira to the ground.)

Then there's this guy in north Philly. I killed him in 72 hours. Yeah, I'm gettin' better as I go along, baby, but the problem is I never set a record! Until my man Frank, that is.

[Imagines the two Mixels forming the Gobba-Tentro Mix] And if not… [Imagines the Mix punching itself with its tentacles and starts to laugh.] Yes… [As King Nixel talks, a capsule is being maintained by Nixel construction workers as it rises up.] As we speak, a plan is in motion to create a seed of discontent. One that’ll have them at each others’ throats! We’ll lure them with false treasure, gathering all the Mixels together in one place, where they can easily be exterminated!

(Sullivan: What if we're discovered?) Listen. The Brisby house is a large cement block. In the moving, what if it should fall? (Sullivan: An accident?) Of course! Cut the lines, and the weight of it will crush his BONES! (Sullivan, hesitantly: It's risky.) Once rid of Nicodemus, the plan will die. We can stay here as long as we like. (Sullivan: But what about Justin?) Leave him to me...."

(Garth sits down, watches as Jill appears on screen) (Garth: Isn't that the--) Wait! Be quiet! (Both men's expressions are of recognition as Jill is identified as the daughter of the primatologist they had killed twelve years earlier.) (Garth, pointing at the screen: Bloody hell! That's him! That's him, that's the little feller who bit your finger off!) (Strasser glances down at his mangled right hand, missing the thumb and index finger) I'm always amazed how, if you wait long enough, the opportunity for justice finally comes.

Help me to grow strong, and be rewarded with something far greater than friendship. Freedom. Once I've stripped these ponies of their magic, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see their world turned upside down. Who better to do so than the master of chaos himself?

(An octopus grabs Abis Mal) Perhaps you wish me to return you to the desert? (Abis Mal, bubbling: Yeeess!) Very well. (Jafar teleports both him and Abis Mal back to the desert; Abis Mal spits out water) That was two wishes take your time with the third...or you'll wish you'd never been born. (Abis Mal stares at Jafar in utter fear) On the other hand, If you cooperate with me, I will see that you're amply rewarded. (Abis Mal: Rewarded?)

He robbed me, turned my men against me, and he fought dirty! My brilliant swordsmanship availed me not! (accidentally slices his belt, making his pants fall) Oh...I hate when I do that.)

It's brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT, I tell you! Genius, I say!

(Zigzag spins the globe so fast it sends the vulture crashing against a wall.) (Phido: Hey, hey, Ziggy, I need my beauty rest!) Eh, Phido? (Phido nods in agreement, but when Zigzag turns his back he sticks his tongue out at him.) Men are fools who walk in dreams...they sleep their lives away! But I, Zigzag, will reign SUPREME! For they are easy prey, eh, Phido? (ZIgzag wakes up Phido by poking him) (Phido: AAH!! You’re givin' me a heart attacks here!) For I intend to take as wife, the daughter of the king.

Move the moon over here, and the currents that warm California suddenly become ice cold! Summer, as we know it, will become a thing of the past. And without summer... (The globe diagram grows icicles. TJ and Prickly gasp in horror.) ...no summer vacation. (T.J. Detweiler: You'll never get away with this, Benedict!) Oh, yeah? Well, who's gonna stop me?"

- Dr. Phillium Benedict explaining to TJ Detweiler and Principal Peter Prickly his evil plan to rid of summer vacation by altering the moon's orbit, which will a create new ice age, destroying the purpose of summer vacation.

"(Grimhilde puts the regular apple into the poison.) Dip the apple in the brew. Let the sleeping death seep through. (Grimhilde takes the apple out of the poison and the apple turns red.) Look! On the skin! The symbol of what lies within. Now, turn red to tempt Snow White. To make her hunger for a bite. (Grimhilde gives the raven a taste of the poisoned apple.) Have a bite? (the raven cringes away in fear, as Grimhilde cackles.) It's not for you! It's for Snow White. When she breaks the tender peel to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal. Then I'LL be the fairest in the land! (cackles wickedly, then suddenly pauses.) But wait! There may be an antidote. Nothing must be overlooked. (looks through her book) Oh! Here it is! "The Victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love's First Kiss." "Love's First Kiss". (Grimhilde slams the book shut.) Bah! No fear of that. The dwarfs will think she's dead. She'll be buried alive! (Grimhilde cackles wickedly as she puts the poisoned apple in the basket of apples and begins to depart.) Buried alive! (Grimhilde leaves the dungeon as she begins to leave for the Dwarfs' cottage.)"

- Queen Grimhilde plotting to kill Snow White by giving her the poisoned apple, so she will become fairest in the land.

"(Gleeman Vox is baffled by Ratchet's recent victory against Shellshock.) Look at those idiots cheering! Six million bolts of hardware down the drain, and those ingrates are celebrating like... like "I won the freaking lottery"! (groans and turns towards Ace Hardlight) Remind me why I put up with these morons. (Ace Hardlight: Who else would watch Vox News? "Temptation Asteroid". "Galaxy's Funniest Decapitations".) Yeah, yeah. (Ace Hardlight: "Queer Eye for the Tyhrranoid".) I get it. (to Slugha) Seems we've underestimated our Lombax friend. (Ace Hardlight: He got lucky. Shellshock was too slow and too stupid to be an Exterminator. He should've been retired years ago.) Well, he's retired now. Ratchet, however... Huh... He just may be useful. He's even more popular than you were back in your heroic youth. Come to think of it, he reminds me of you. (Ace Hardlight: I said [slams his fists against Vox's desk, spooking Slugha] "he got lucky". His luck won't last forever.)"

- Gleeman Vox scheming to make Ratchet a Dread Zone champion, realizing that he had underestimated the Lombax.

"(Inside an abandoned bowling factory, Dr. Claw throws darts at a headline of Inspector Gadget) BRICK! Retrieve my darts! (Brick, startled by Claw's yell, drops the bowling pins he was juggling and one falls on his head.) McKIBBLE! Serve my tea! (McKibble rolls his eyes) (McKibble: I don't see why we gotta retrieve your darts and serve your tea.) (Brick: Yeah!) (McKibble: We're vicious minions, not valets! [Claw pinches and twists McKibble's nose with his robotic appendage; McKibble groans in pain] Ow...He-he-he... One sugar or two?) Two. (Claw lets go of McKibble's nose as Brick runs up and hands Claw his darts) (Brick: Here, boss. Dr. Claw, the place is a dump! What happened to your multi-million dollar high-rise evil headquarters?) WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO IT?! (Brick and McKibble duck as Claw tosses a fistful of darts at the picture of Gadget.) When Gadget arrested me, the police confiscated all my assets. But after we've pulled out the crime of the century, I'll be back on top again. (McKibble: Great. Another crime of the century. I'm still on parole for the last one.) (Brick: What's the plan this time?) Watch and see. (turns on the TV) (TV Anchor: The Federal Reserve Bank with a deposit of over five trillion dollars in pure gold was build two years ago after Riverton declared statistically the safest City in America. Utilizing the latest in security technology and a squadron of armed guards, the bank is considered impregnable.) (Claw turns off the TV and crushes the remote.) Not for long! (Brick: We're gonna rob the Federal Reserve!) Right before Riverton's eyes, and there won't be a thing Inspector Gadget can do about it. (Brick: How are we gonna do that? They said the bank was impen--impreg-- ...really hard to get into.) (McKibble: Yeah, I don't see how.) That's why you're just minions, and I'm an evil genius. (Brick: He's got a point.) (McKibble: Yeah.) We are going to build the ultimate super weapon! But we haven't much time. We need to be ready in 10 days, because next Thursday at exactly 9:23 AM, the X-Force One satellite will be directly over Riverton. And by then, we need to steal ion fuel cells, a protoid laser, and a ruby. Plus a few miscellaneous knick-knacks. (Brick: Yum! [smacks lips] I love knick knacks.) (McKibble groans)"

- Dr. Claw explaining to his henchmen his plan to rob the Federal Reserve by building a giant evil weapon.

"(Gil: Shoot, you gotta be the richest land baron in the west.) Yes, but the part that really warms my heart... (Slim pulls out his branding iron) ...is watching those homesteaders suffer. (Slim presses his brand on Mike Donald's farm and the Dixon Ranch on his map of all the ranches he has robbed of their cattle and forced into bankruptcy.) Back in the day, I worked the highfalutinest ranches you ever seen, but those stuck-up ranch bosses couldn't appreciate my talents. (Phil: Maybe they just didn't like your singing.) (Slim grits his teeth.) My singing? (Bill gasps and clamps his hand over Phil's mouth as Slim slowly advances on them, holding his hot branding iron.) Songbirds sing. Saloon gals sing. Little bitty snot-nosed children sing. I yodel! And yodeling IS AN ART! (Bill: Well, maybe they just didn't like your yodeling.) (Phil clamps his hand over Bill's mouth and both dodge as Slim furiously swipes his branding iron at them.) (Gil: He didn't mean it, Uncle Slim. Everybody likes yodeling.) (Slim slowly turns to Gil sitting the couch.) Hmm? (Gil: Why, it's one of the funniest, cornball, goofy, silly sounds in the whole west. Aah!) (Slim's temper boils over and he swings his branding iron at Gil. Gil dodges, revealing the unmarked Patch of Heaven, shown to be the exact shape of Gil's head. Slim gasps and his eye twitches.) Uh, Gil? (Gil: Uh-huh?) Am I correct in assuming that each and every time we brought a herd back to this secret lair, you've managed to sit in the exact same spot, blocking that choice-piece of property from my view?! (Gil: This is my comfy place. What?) (Slim grabs him by the throat) (Phil: It's called "Patch of Heaven", Uncle Slim. Goes on auction Thursday morning.) (Slim's fury is quickly replaced by eagerness.) Perfect! (hits Gil on the head with the branding iron as he drops him) Pencil it in. Thursday morning—right after we sell off this herd. (Bill: But it's just a lil' old dirt farm.) Ah, what's the difference? When you're talking revenge, every last acre... counts. (He marks his brand on Patch of Heaven.)"

- Alameda Slim revealing his past of being repeatedly dismissed by all ranches. When one of his nephews moves from his spot on the couch, revealing Patch of Heaven, Slim decides to buy the farm at its auction on Thursday and thus own every single ranch in the west.

"Where are those idiots? (talks to his tadpoles.) It's so hard to get good help these days, my boys. (speaks in baby talk.) Yes, that's right. Oh, come on out, my lovelies. Cheer your old Dad up. Poor Daddy. Surrounded by filthy rats in this JOYLESS, SUNLESS VOID! But don't worry, little men. DADDY WILL GET RID OF THEM ALL! He will. They'll all be deady-weady. (He kisses tadpole tank, then hides the tank just as Spike and Whitey return; baby voice) Did you find it? (Spike: Huh?) GRRR! Did you find it?! (Spike: Well, we got most of it, Boss.) (He and Whitey hold up the shattered fake ruby. The Toad slaps it out of their hands) FORGET THE RUBY! It's the master cable that I want! The one that grubby creature Rita took! (Spike and Whitey: Oh...) Without it, my plan is ruined! (leans towards into Spike and Whitey, nearly pushing them off the balcony) (Spike: OK, chief. Forget the ruby. Ruby's gone. See? See? Moving on. We are now your cable guys.) (Whitey: Focused. Cable-centric, Boss.) You need to be back in time for the World Cup Final. (Spike: Oh, great! Are we watching the game together, Boss?) (The Toad growls in frustration. Cut to outside the office.) JUST GET THE CABLE! (Spike and Whitey are thrown out the window) (Whitey: Keep your legs straight!)"

- The Toad plotting to wash away Ratropolis of his rodent enemies and replace them with his tadpoles. Then he explains to his henchmen Spike and Whitey that he wants them to retrieve the cable Rita stole from him for his evil plan.

"And I will not rest until The Tipton is a parking lot and you are parking the cars. (growls)"

- Ilsa Schicklgrubermeiger plotting to demolish the Tipton Hotel and turn it into a parking lot with Mr. Moseby parking the cars.

"Ahhh... there's no place like fortress. Now back to business! (The sisters gather around a small table bearing a war map.) (Wing Wu: Tell us, dear sister! What diabolical plan have you concocted?) (Wan Wu: Yes, what is our next move?) Hmmm... while I was locked away, I had a revelation; if all of China's gangs stopped fighting and joined forces... we could run this country, and even the imperial army would be unable to stop us! (Wing: [gasps] A criminal syndicate) Precisely. We'll send a message to the heads of all the evil clans. (Wan and Wing Wu are soon writing several messages. They carry the messages into a large room full of caged messenger falcons and issue them the scrolls.) (Su Wu, speaking out the contents of the message.): I am calling a meeting at Wu Fortress in two days. The topic of discussion will be the joining of villainous forces for total control of China... once and for all! (Su Wu laughs evilly as the falcons fly away in roughly the same direction... along with a small blue bird carrying a tiny scroll who flies off in a completely different direction.)"

- Su Wu plotting her plans with her sisters to unite the most dangerous gangs to establish a criminal empire and take over China.

"This hell hole is too small for me, Brent. I wanna be big. I want people to look at me and say, "That is one big mayor." And that's why it has to work. It HAS to work! Otherwise, I'm just a tiny mayor of a tiny town full of sardine-sucking knuckle-scrapers."

- Mayor Shelbourne plotting to secure his place as the mayor of Swallow Falls.
