--> '''Ratchet:''' Well, she ''does'' seem to have an unusually large door coming out of the back of her head.
--> '''Clank:''' And why do you think that is?
--> '''Ratchet:''' She's... uh... a robot?

* WalkingShirtlessScene: Ratchet, as he wears his outfit from the first game. He can use a shirt later in the game.
