NAPOLEON: Because the thieves are smarter than a dolphin with a Ph.D. They replace each painting with a duplicate. No one noticed until now.
LE MOO: Who finally caught on?
NAPOLEON: A museum curator in New Mexico. She noticed that one of the "Q" paintings was "unbalanced in its hues and tones." I guess she speaks Dutch.
LE MOO: Sir, "hues" and "tones" are English. They just mean "color."
NAPOLEON: Oh... I guess that explains her response when I asked her how her schneelerknüdel was doing. Anyway, San Francisco is the exhibit's next stop. I want you to go out there and thwart them but good.
