Narrator:

Sugar, spice, and everything nice. These were the ingredients the Professor combined to make the perfect little girls. But then he accidentally added another chemical: narcissism. No longer were these the perfect little girls—they were in their mid-20s in New York City.

Welcome to HBO's Powerpuff Girls:

Blossom: "I got a thing."

Bubbles: "What thing?"

Blossom: "You know, a thing downtown. I don't know, it might be an art thing. It's for a guy."

Bubbles: "How's the guy?"

Blossom: "We... [expletive] a bunch last night, but I'm not sure I like him."

Buttercup: "Are you doing anal yet?"

Blossom: "Are you seeing this?"

Bubbles: "Yeah, meet you inside?"

Buttercup: "I got my makeup. I'm not fighting without makeup. I mean, say the makeup day PMS."

No longer just content to fight crimes, watch them look at their body fats, exercise, and then binge eat. Watch them form relationships that last for weeks at best.

Holy [expletive].

Bubbles: "Oh hey, I tried texting you."

Blossom: "Sorry, my phone was off."

Bubbles: "Did you not see you tonight us are attacking the city?"

Blossom: "Look, I understand that you two have all the time in the world to fight crime, but my life doesn't fit into these little compartments, okay? It keeps going and I don't know where it's going, but it's going. Now it's like, what am I? What is this? What are we fighting for?"

Bubbles: "You wanna get a drink?"

Blossom: "[Expletive], yeah."

HBO's Powerpuff Girls: Very little fighting, lots of complaining combined with small witty life-affirming lessons.

Buttercup: "Go in plug."

Blossom: "Yeah, they suck."
