"Remember: No tricks, no lies, no trouble!"
"Yes, Uncle Donald!"
"I wasn't talking to *you*!"This scene is extremely important for setting the storytelling context for this show. From the start, it is made clear that Scrooge and Donald have a *history* with each other. And the triplets - as both newcomers to this world of craziness and as the most common viewpoint characters - spend much of the first season and parts of later seasons figuring this history out.
This is also one of the major storytelling differences between the 2017 version of DuckTales and the first incarnation. In 1987m tv shows rarely did extended storylines, and cartoons almost never. But in DuckTales 2017, both the characters and the status quo go through some real changes as more mysteries are unveiled.

Wendy: "What are your blood types? What's Donald really like? Who is the evil triplet?"
Huey and Dewie: "Louie!"
Louie: "Meh!"Another way DuckTales (2017) distinguishes itself from DuckTales (1987) is that it gives each of the triplets very distinctive personality types. As they are the main viewpoint characters, this helps us get different perspectives on the world around them. And sibling squabbles are more interesting when they are rooted in contrasting personalities, too.
Also, Wendy is *scary* this time around.

"Wait! Are we... friends now?"
"If we say 'yes', will you let us live?"
"Pfft! Good one, new best friend!" -

"This is because some children made fun of you, isn't it?"
"Nonsense! I'm no has-been. They're the has-beens. I am an am-now!"It is clear that at this stage Scrooge has been in a state of fun - he has abstained from adventuring for some time, and while he still takes care of his business empire, he is bored and listless. It takes the unexpected arrival of family to get him out of this mood, and rekindle his love of adventuring.

"The headless man-horse!
...that one feels self-explanatory."
This scene shows how the series embraces its own brand of craziness. It is over-the-top, and proud of it. Characters might initially startle at some new development, but then they just roll with it.
Also, who would have known that "Manny the Man-Horse" would become a recurring character at this stage?

"Why didn't you tell him the truth?"
"You didn't tell your grandma we were going to a dangerous underwater city, did you?"
"I kinda sorta... didn't tell her anything?"
"Webby, that's irresponsible! She'll be worried sick! Call your grandma this instant, and tell her that you are spending the night at a friends house, okay?Lying, it's the responsible thing to do."
A great lesson for the kids watching this show!

"Brilliant! I want Scrooge alive when I shove the jewel of Atlantis in his smug face.
He thinks he's so rich and so Scottish. Well, I'm wearing a kilt, McDuck. A kilt!"

"Your new job is with my sworn enemy?"
"I can't keep track of all your sworn enemies!"
Fair point, Donald. Fair point.

"This is the Spear of Selene all over again!"
"I was not responsible for the Spear of Selene!"
What seems like some ordinary crisis banter turns out to be foreshadowing for the central mystery of this season of DuckTales.
