Screencaps:
Officer: Finally! We have captured the world-famous Carmen...huh?
Carmen: I got away again, Player.
Player: I can catch you, Carmen.
Carmen: Go ahead...try! This should be fun.
Chief: Okay, let's bust a move, Player! Pick a detective. And this time, make it good.
Ivy: Hello Player. Thanks for picking me. I've got a grudge to settle with that Carmen Sandiego.
Ivy: Chief, the last thing I need is--Zack?! My brother Zack?!
Zack: Hey, hey, Ivy! You working this case with me?
Ivy: Correction. You are working this case with me, little brother.
Zack: Yo-ho, Play-meister, whassup?
Chief: What's up, Zack, is that Carmen Sandiego has stolen the eyes from a famous van Gogh painting on special exhibition in Amsterdam.
Ivy: Chief, why just the eyes when she could've lifted the whole painting?
Chief: Well, that's what you and the Boy Wonder are going to find out.
Zack: Okay, let's play it, sis!
Ivy: Oh, please don't call me that, Zackary.
Chief: And to be extra-muy pronto, the Player has accessed the C-5 corridor.
Zack: Whoa, no, no, no. No way I'm C-5ing it to Holland, Chief.
Chief: Psst. Hey, Zack, you know, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a saying.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
Zack: Yeah? Well, I've got a saying, too: "If it doesn't have a seatbelt and an in-flight movie, I don't fly it."
Ivy: You know, Chief, the C-5 corridor doesn't always get us exactly where we have to go.
Chief: So sue me. It's got a few minor glitches. But on the upside, while you travel, the Player can call up information to help solve the case. Now, let's blow this motherboard!
Zack and Ivy: Whoa!
Chief: Technology. Ya gotta love it.
Zack: I hate this part!
Ivy: Whoa!
Zack: Whoa! Oof! Man, the C-5 did it again, Ivy! This is definitely not the musuem!
Touriste Classe: Hey boss! You there? Those two teenagers from the Acme Detective Agency are already here!
Carmen: Is my little surprise waiting for them at the scene of the crime?
Touriste Classe: Check.
Carmen: Get out of the country! Now!
Zack: It's the Chief!
Chief: Attention, gumshoes! This just in to CrimeNet! Carmen Sandiego's henchman Touriste Classe--
Ivy: --was just spotted in Amsterdam, right? Thanks for the hot tip, Chief.
Chief: Aw, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, get up on the wrong side of the web this morning, did we, Charlotte?
Ivy: Hi, we're from the Acme Detective Agency. Are you the curator?
Curator: The museum is closed. How did you get in without me hearing you?
Zack: Don't tax your noggin. That's why they call them sneakers.
Ivy: Zack!
Curator: Look around if you like. The police are completely baffled.
Carmen Doll: I had the biggest nose, but I might be lyin'. I had the biggest nose--
Zack: Check it out, Ivy.
Carmen Doll: --but I might be lyin'.
Zack: It's booby trapped! Hit the deck!
*explosion*
Ivy: Get up, Zack. It's just Carmen taunting us as usual. But it's got to be a clue.
Zack: You think these could be the industrial-sized beaks Carmen's talking about?
Ivy: I had the biggest nose, but I might be lyin'...Those four presidents weren't known for lying.
Zack: Maybe we're picking the wrong noses.
Ivy: Ew, Zack!
Ivy: Carmen's henchmen! I don't think she's stealing the Sphinx at all, the clue was just a trap!
Zack: Great. We're about to become history on a piece of history. Ah! Whoa!
Ivy: Zack?
Zack: Whoa! Oof!
Ivy: Nice going, Barishnykov!
Zack: Don't you know you're not supposed to hitchhike?
Ivy: We can't outrun them with the two of us on this hovercraft!
Zack: Trust me. We can outrun those dorfbuds on an anorexic turtle.
Ivy: Zack! Where did you learn to drive?!
Zack: Relax, the Sahara's the biggest desert in the world. With almost three and a half million square miles of sand, the only thing I'm gonna hit is warp speed.
Ivy: Hey, look what that henchmen had in his pocket! Pesetas!
Zack: Yeah, and marbles don't float in ketchup, so what?
Ivy: So sometimes I can actually hear your mind come to a grinding halt, little bro. Pesetas are Spanish currency, we're in Egypt?
Zack: Ivy, Carmen's ripped off van Gogh's eyes and now a Picasso nose. What do you want to bet she's scoping out a famous mouth right about now?
Ivy: But why, and what mouth, and where?
Zack: Hello, anybody home? Do a few cerebrum situps, Ivy. Who's got the most famous smile in the world?
Ivy: Ah, Tom Cruise.
Zack: No, from a famous painting.
Ivy: The Mona Lisa has one of the most famous painted smiles of all time. Oh! She's after the Mona Lisa! Zack, you are a genius!
Zack: Ah, yes, I am. Now, if I only knew where the Mona Lisa was. Player!
Ivy: Pretend we're statues, he'll never see us. Ugh, what were you thinking?!
Zack: I'd thought we'd blend right in.
Ivy: Oh sure, all two thousand year old statues wore high tops and jeans.
Zack: Hey, I didn't hear you come up with anything better, sis!
Ivy: How many times have I told you, don't call me sis!
Zack: Okay, okay! You made your point.
Ivy: Good, Zack.
Chief: Hot tip! Carmen's now stolen the television airwaves for the entire world! Don't ask me how she did it. She's broadcasting her own TV show! Here's Carmen!
Carmen: I've proven that I'm the world's greatest thief time after time.
Ivy: What's that? On the wall behind Carmen?
Zack: Player, can you enhance those cave drawings?
Carmen: Now I have stolen the best parts from the world's greatest paintings and put them all together.
Chief: Check it out! Those pictures were painted on cave walls somewhere between 10,000 and 40,000 years ago! And the kid's still grounded.
Zack: Player, where's that cave Carmen's beaming from?
Chief: That cave? That particular cave? Zack, buddy, loosen the brain filter. There's caves all over the world with paintings on their walls!
Ivy: But Chief, Carmen was just in Paris, and chances are, she's still close by!
Chief: Okay, that I can live with.
Carmen: Now I will unveil my masterpiece for you. And then I'll keep it forever in my private art museum.
Zack: Ivy, come on! We can get the painting and capture Carmen at the same time!
Ivy: Hold it just a second, Zack. We can't take on all those henchmen single-handedly. But with this marker, and those bats, we may just come out of this on top.
Zack: Carmen's getting away!
Carmen: Those detectives have only managed to delay the moment I will unveil my masterpiece to the world.
Touriste Classe: Yes, I've got it right here, Carmen. Safe and sound.
Ivy: Well, I guess we showed Carmen this time.
Zack: Did you do something totally ingenious, Ivy?
Touriste Classe: WHAT?!
Ivy: I did a little artwork of my own.
Carmen: Touche.
Ivy: She shoots!
Zack: She scores!
Ivy: Yes! I guess we make a pretty hot team after all, huh little bro?
Zack: Ah, you can log me in as your partner in anytime, si--I mean, Ivy.
Ivy: Thanks, Zack. Now, let's backtrack our steps and restore three masterpieces.
Carmen: I stole some of the finest art in the world.
Player: But I got it back.
Carmen: Next time you may not be so lucky.
Player: Next time I may just catch you.
Carmen: Until then, Player.
