[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)ng] English manor, where he is working as a butler. He wears a white tuxedo that almost looks like a lab coat. One of the rich kids comes in to use the bathroom, so Jimmy gives him a 敬 salute in order to show 敬 respect to his employer. The rich kid grabs a towel from Jimmy and says he 敬 respects Jimmy's unusual hairdo before going into the sauna.
