When Mario opens the door, he is greeted by [[Inspector Gadget]], who tells the brothers that he is under the impression that they can fix anything mechanical. Inspector Gadget notes that he needs an emergency adjustment and then formally introduces himself. As Mario shakes Inspector Gadget's hand, he accidentally pulls off Gadget's hammer. Mario agrees to fix his gadgets and asks Inspector Gadget to come back in an hour, but Inspector Gadget explains that his gadgets need to be fixed while he waits, for he is awaiting important instructions from [[List of implied characters#Chief Quimby|"the Chief"]]. Luigi points out that the Chief is calling just before Inspector Gadget's gadget phone starts ringing. Inspector Gadget has a brief conversation with the Chief and tells him that he'll be over as soon as the Mario Bros. fix him up. When Inspector Gadget tries to retract his phone antenna, he breaks it and exclaims that he's going to pieces. | When Mario opens the door, he is greeted by [[Inspector Gadget]], who tells the brothers that he is under the impression that they can fix anything mechanical.

A few minutes later, Inspector Gadget is lying down on an assembly table, while Mario and Luigi have donned scrubs. "Dr. Luigi" asks "Dr. Mario" if he's ready, which he affirms, and the two stick cotton balls in each other's ears. When Mario asks why they just did that, Luigi comments that should the patient scream, they won't get upset | A few minutes later, Inspector Gadget is lying down on an assembly table, while Mario and Luigi have donned scrubs.

Luigi proceeds to wash his hands by soaking them in a bucket full of water, splashing water all over the place as he does so. Mario then dips a rubber glove into the water and pulls it out. As water trickles down from the glove, Luigi implies that they shouldn't waste it, so he grabs the glove and rushes it over to the tub garden, allowing the excess water to drip into it. Reaching into the bucket again, Mario pulls out [[Kenneth]], [[Mrs. Periwinkle]]'s dead goldfish, and tosses him aside. Luigi returns with Mario's glove, proceeds to put on his own pair, and asks Mario if everything is ready. Luigi asks Mario what the most important thing is, to which Mario answers with "cleanliness", only for Luigi to sneeze into his gloves, which he wipes off on Mario's scrubs. | Luigi proceeds to wash his hands by soaking them in a bucket full of water, splashing water all over the place as he does so.
