“..And if I wasn’t calm and used my head, things coulda turned out differently. And of course, you know I don’t heed any danger!”

The reason I find this scene adorable is that Gladstone’s excitement over having an ‘adventure’ is real, and he feels he came out victorious from it, despite us knowing he did literally nothing to earn that feeling. 

Of course, this is also the reason he comes across to everyone as arrogant.

Plus Gladstone is the only Duck who’d look so excited about almost being robbed/murdered.
