Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Oliver : Check out all this cool stuff from the lost and found. Some of this stuff has been in here for decades, including that sandwich.

  [Kaz spits out sandwich meat] 

  Oliver : It's like digging through the history of Mighty Med.

  Kaz : Boring. I don't care about the past.

  Oliver : Which explains why you failed our history test.

  Kaz : I failed because I followed a kid who looked like you into the wrong classroom, but I did learn the word for umbrella in French.

  Oliver : What is it?

  Kaz : I don't know. It was yesterday. I told you, I don't care about the past.

  Oliver : Oh, look! Optimo's dagger of truth. The shawl of invisibility. This thing.

  Dr. Horace Diaz : My goodness! A wormhole transporter. I haven't seen one of these in years.

  Oliver : A wormhole transporter?

  Dr. Horace Diaz : In the 1950s, superheroes used these to reverse time by opening wormholes in space, but they were banned because every so often, a hero would get lost in time or explode into a million tiny pieces. I usually love confetti, but that... not so festive.

  Kaz : Told you old things are lame.

  Oliver : How could you think that is lame?

  Kaz : I was talking about Horace. Yeah, that device looks lame too. Bet it can't even take pictures.

  [he puts it under his chin, and a wormhole makes Captain Atomic appear] 

  Captain Atomic : Jeepers, where am I?

  Kaz : Who is that, and where did he come from?

  Oliver : That's Captain Atomic.

  Dr. Horace Diaz : I'd say he came from 1953.

  Kaz : 1953? That was, like, 100 years ago.

  Oliver : Which explains why you also failed our math test.

  [theme song starts] 

• Kaz : [theme song ends]  Who's Captain Atomic?

  Oliver : You've never heard of Captain Atomic? My grandpa has all of his comicbooks. He also has huge earlobes.

  [Horace and Kaz wince] 

  Oliver : What? We're talking about my grandpa.

  Dr. Horace Diaz : Captain Atomic was wounded in World War II by a radioactive bullet which should have penetrated his heart, but it was stopped by the lucky yo-yo given to him by his best gal.

  Oliver : The bullet turned him radioactive and the army gave him an experimental battery that keeps him alive. He and his yo-yo are atomically powered.

  Kaz : So are my farts.

  [Oliver does a stink eye] 

  Kaz : No, they are. Ask my brothers.

  Captain Atomic : Where am I? Five minutes ago I entered a wormhole to stop Professor Slime from destroying the planet Malmarn.

  Dr. Horace Diaz : Unfortunately, you became trapped in that wormhole for decades. Oh, and by the way, Malmarn is now called Slimemarn.

  Captain Atomic : Wait. Horace Diaz, is that you?

  Oliver : You knew him in the '50s? How old are you?

  Dr. Horace Diaz : A gentleman never asks. A lady never tells. And I'm 3,006... in May.

  Captain Atomic : This place looks so different... and who are all these broads dressed as doctors?

  Kaz : Those are doctors.

  Captain Atomic : [laughs]  Girl doctors? That's the craziest thing I ever heard. Right, lizard doctor?

  [Lizard Man grunts approvingly] 

  Dr. Horace Diaz : Boys, we need to open another wormhole to get Captain Atomic back to his own time.

  [he pushes the transporter's button, but it shorts out] 

  Dr. Horace Diaz : Huh. This wormhole transporter needs to be repaired. I'll go work on it. Don't tell him how much gasoline costs now. It'll kill him.
