The Powerpuff Girls Movie

thumb|And so for the very first time, the day is saved thanks to the Powerpuff Girls! The Powerpuff Girls Movie is an American animated superhero comedy film produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and released to theaters by Warner Bros. on July 3, 2002. It is a prequel to the TV series, tells the origin story of how the Powerpuff Girls were created, and how Mojo Jojo became a supervillain. Directed by Craig McCracken. Written by Charlie Bean, Lauren Faust, Craig McCracken, Paul Rudish and Don Shank. Sugar, spice and everything nice...these were the ingredients to create the perfect...crime-fighting little girls?

Amidst the shadows and lighted windows of the skyscrapers, a light emanates from the center of the shot]Narrator: [first lines] The city of Townsville...[An explosion is heard, and a red hue emanates down on Townsville streets. An alarm is heard in the distance]Narrator: ...is in some serious, serious, serious trouble![The camera zooms in on a burning building, followed by a donut shop, and several other buildings. The alarm continues in the background]Narrator: Day after day, crime, lawlessness and evil are running rampant. It's citizens have lost all hope. They are utterly helpless and in desperate need of a true hero. But who? Is there no one who can help this forsaken town and make it a better place?[The camera transitions to a long shot of a grocery store aisle, with a light music background, as the Professor slowly walks into the scene, rising high above the camera]Narrator: Fear not, fair viewers, for there is a man, a man of science. A forward-thinking man who looks back, back to a sweeter time, when there was a spice to life, and everything was...[Fuzzy Lumpkins cocks an elephant gun at the distressed cashier woman]Narrator: Nice.[The woman nervously hands Fuzzy the money as he smiles evilly. The Professor looks on in sadness and slumps his back as he exits]Narrator: I must profess, sir, this man holds the ingredients to Townsville’s salvation![The Professor looks back in fear, confronted by the imposing Gangreen Gang]Narrator: This man is known simply as...[Ace lands a punch to the Professor’s face as the view cuts to black]Narrator: the Professor.[The scene cuts to an extreme close-up of Jojo's face, screeching wildly in a psychotic frenzy. He's in a laboratory in the basement of the Professor's suburban home. Jojo leaps from table to table to floor, destroying beakers and other fragile objects in his wake in his crazed rampage. Pan to the Professor, grocery bag in one hand and head in the other, looking very tired and distressed from what happened outside Malph's with the Gangreen Gang as he watches Jojo's destruction with a distant sadness. As each scene pauses, Jojo destroys a TV, unreels an old-fashioned magnetic tape computer, removes papers from a file cabinet, destroys a glass tubing set by hanging on it until it collapses from the stress, and punches a wall clock while the Professor adds in the infamous ingredients of Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice, and mixes it in angles similar to the cartoon opening. Jojo pushes the Professor in the back, causing his stirring rod to smash into a beaker of thick black liquid suspended over the pot. The words "Chemical X" are seen in black lettering as the liquid drains from the beaker. The Professor stands hunched over the concoction, a look of combined horror and fascination written on his face as it bubbles and churns in an eerily pink glow. Sensing the reaction becoming more agitated, he backs away from the pot, as Jojo looks on in curiosity. The Professor runs for cover, as Jojo's watches the now violently bubbling mixture, fixated, pretty much staring at it up close, oblivious to what is about to happen. A loud explosion is heard as the screen cuts to black again. Each familiar giggle from three little girls is heard. The Professor is thrown back into the wall from the explosion. He lifts his head and opens his eyes to look up at something, then bolts to his feet. He approaches the creations with his eyes wide and jaw dropped, he cocks his head. From the Professor's point of view, three adorable, pint-sized girls with big heads and eyes, and stubby arms and legs face him, smiling. They have different hairstyles, colored dresses which match their irises, matching socks and shoes, and the first girl has a red bow on her hair]Blossom: [first words] Hi![The Professor screams]Blossom: What's your name? Professor: [first words] Oh. Um, my name is, um… Uh, Professor. Professor Utonium. Hello.[He bows to the girls with a shrug]Girls: Hello, Professor Utonium, it's very nice to meet you. Professor: It's very nice to meet you too. Um, uh, what are your names? Blossom: Well, you made us. So shouldn't we also name us? Professor: Um, OK. Oh, this is so cool. Well, now, let's see. Because of your directness and opening right up to me, I think I'll call you Blossom.[The pink girl, Blossom, looks pleased. As the blue girl giggles, Blossom and the green girl watch her with puzzled looks]Professor: Well, aren't you all cute and bubbly? That's it, you'll be my little Bubbles. So, we have Blossom, Bubbles and…[The green girl, who is about to be named, blinks patiently]Professor: Buttercup. Because it also begins with a B. Buttercup: [first words] Hmph.[Buttercup glares as she crosses her arms]Professor: And together, you're 3 perfect, little g-- G-- Gifts! Birthday! It's your birthday, I should get gifts![The Professor runs upstairs]Professor: Wow, I can't believe it! I wanted to create some kids I could teach good and bad, right and wrong, and in turn, maybe they'd do some good for this terrible town, and now I can![The Utonium house is a three-blocked house with a tall middle piece with no windows]Professor: All I've gotta do is be a good parent![He drives his car away from the house for a moment, then returns]Professor: Note to self - good parents don't leave their kids home alone.[The Professor runs back downstairs to the lab with wrapped gifts]Professor: Sugar, spice and everything nice? Who would've guessed that's what girls are actually made of? I still can't believe it worked, that I've actually made 3 perfect little girls! 3 perfect, normal little g--[The Professor slips off the stairs and falls as he screams. From a flash of pink light, Blossom catches him]Blossom: Professor, you should be more careful when you're coming down the steps. You could get hurt.[Buttercup and Bubbles each hold 3 wrapped presents with each color]Buttercup: Hey, are these for us?[The Professor nods and the girls each zoom off]Buttercup: Yeah! Bubbles: [first words] Yippee! Blossom: Thanks, Professor![The Professor lifts a hand as if to say something then drops to his knees as he watches the girls rapidly rip the wrapping paper off of the gifts while laughing and giggling. He looks over at the broken beaker of Chemical X, then smiles]Buttercup: [holding a pile of various toys Hey, thanks! Blossom: [holding a globe of the Earth on a stack of books] Yes, Professor, thank you! Bubbles: [holds a plush purple octopus with a top hat, whose name is Octi] This is the best gift ever, Dad.[She kisses his cheek and floats upward. The Professor smiles warmly and looks up at his newly created daughters]Professor: Yes, it is.[The camera slowly pulls back, with the girls flying happily above the Professor. We see a profile of Jojo, his silhouetted brain obviously sticking far out of his skull, a definite side-effect of when he was looking too closely at the mixture that created the girls when it blew. He does not know what to make of this, and slowly skulks away into the darkness. The view fades to black. Snap to the exterior of the house the next day. Inside, the Professor and the girls are in an empty room whose floor is covered with tarps. Each of the four has a paint roller, and cans and a flat paint pan are nearby.]Professor: Okay, girls, now watch me![He paints a pink streak on the wall; the screen immediately fills with splashes of the same color as the girls catch on. A moment more and they have stopped—the room is completely pink from floor to ceiling, but he is nowhere to be seen. His outline appears against the fresh coat of paint, and he steps away from the wall; his entire back half has been painted pink, while the area shielded by his body has not. He turns his head to look back at them, revealing his face as another area that did not get painted. The girls clap their hands to their mouths in surprise.]Professor: [chuckling] I think you missed a spot![He runs the roller over his face; they have a good laugh at this. Now he heads for the door, the bare spot having been painted—as was the rest of his front from the neck down, apparently.]Professor: I'll go wash up, then we'll bring in the furniture.[This, then, is to be the girls’ bedroom. Close-up of the bathroom sink, where he is washing his hands, then pull back to frame him and his reflection in the mirror. He has taken off his lab coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and scrubbed all the paint off. In the open doorway behind him, we see the girls flash past and down over the railing at the top of the stairs. The sound causes him to look up in surprise; cut to outside the door as he steps out and dries his face with a towel.]Professor: Girls, wait! You should let me....[He trails off as the camera pulls back. Pieces of furniture are being hurled into view from the ground floor, flying over the railing and neatly through the open bedroom door.]Professor: [bewildered] ....help?[When the barrage of home furnishings ends, the girls fly in after it. Cut to inside the room, which has now been made up as we know it on the show—including the vanity with heart-shaped mirror and the wide bed with three-color blanket. The Professor walks in to have a look around as the girls float overhead. He has ditched his towel.]Professor: Whoa-ho-ho! This looks pretty good! What do you think? Bubbles: Hmm...I think it's a little dark. Buttercup: Well, I like it dark. Blossom: Some windows might be nice. Professor: Yeah. I could see some windows [walking into view, indicating a spot] right about here. I'll call a contractor tomo- [cuts himself off suddenly; back to the girls, whose eyes have begun to glow red, their lasers warm up. Cut to the exterior of the house as their beams, in a row, pierce the wall and trace out one large circle each. The cut sections tumble to the front lawn after the girls stop firing; inside, the Professor cowers near one of the openings, his hair singed and total shock written all over his face. The cut edges still glow red from the heat, and wisps of smoke rise around him] Or, heh, that works, too. [the red glow stops; he regains his composure] Who's hungry?[Cut to the kitchen]Blossom: [holding a loaf of bread] Ready? Bubbles and Buttercup: [holding 2 jars of peanut butter and jelly] Ready. Blossom: Go![She machine-guns slices of bread at her sisters, who in turn fire back with globs of peanut butter and jelly. When he closes the fridge and turns to face the camera, with an armload of milk and fruit, he throws himself back against the door to try and avoid the barrage. The components collide in midair and fall to the kitchen table to form a tall stack of PB&J sandwiches; the girls, sitting around the table, then strafe this with their eye lasers and the crusts fall off, neatly trimmed. They are a bit taken aback at the approach of the Professor, whose splattered face and clothes show that he was unable to get out of the line of fire. He smiles and sets down a tray with three glasses of milk and the carton. Cut to the exterior of the house as the laughter of all four makes itself heard from inside. It dies away after a moment, and the sky fades into evening while the house lights come on. Inside, he walks into the living room and wipes his hands on a towel. He has cleaned up and again taken off the coat and rolled up his sleeves]Professor: Okay, girls. Time for... [once again he stops short; this time, the reason is that all three of them have completely conked out. Blossom, on the floor, has books and notes piled around her; Buttercup is on the couch, with various action toys nearby and the TV remote in her hand; Bubbles, also on the floor, has crayons and paper scattered about, and Octi is nearby as well. Close-up of Blossom, panning to each of the others in the order given; softly] ...bed.[Cut to the bathroom, where he washes Blossom's face, then to the bed, where he pulls Buttercup's nightgown down over her arms. The last one seen is Bubbles, already in bed and with her clothes changed. He reaches down and tucks Octi under her arm; she smiles and snuggles with the doll. None of the girls looks anywhere close to being awake in this sequence. With all three in bed, he pulls up the blanket to cover them - this is the first time we can see the headboard, which has its trademark pink heart but no PPG initials as in the series. Cut to the bedroom door; now looking tenderly in from outside, he switches off the lights and pulls it shut behind him as the scene fades to black. Snap to the living room, the camera angled up to frame the second-story balcony. The Professor walks away from the door and down the stairs. As he sets to the job of tidying up the clutter left by the girls, he picks up one of Bubbles' drawings and looks at it. His expression melts into one of gentle affection; after a moment, cut to a close-up of the drawing, a rough, scribbly crayon rendition of all four. Fade to black][Snap to the exterior of the house the next morning. Inside, the Professor approaches the girls’ bed, their dresses over his arm, and they wake up]Professor: Wake up, girls, Time for school. Girls: What's school?[The exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, with the Professor's car parked on the street in front. He and the girls are near the open classroom door, and Ms. Keane is hunched down to the girls. We can hear the other kids in the class laughing and playing inside]Ms. Keane: This is school. I'm your teacher, Ms. Keane, and this is where kids come to learn. [gesturing toward door] See?[Inside, the other kids are doing various things: reading, drawing, playing with toys, and so forth. Mitch Mitchellson and Harry Pitt are among them. One boy approaches]Boy: Hey, you wanna play?[The girls think it over for a moment, then look eagerly up at Ms. Keane, who nods happily. Giggling, they follow the boy]Professor: [nervously] Um...do you think they'll be okay? 'Cause I'm new at this parenting thing, and I wanted to come and meet you and see them off on their first day 'cause they're really special. I mean, really special, and I just want to make sure they'll be okay. So what do you think? Do you think they'll be...okay? Ms. Keane: They'll be just fine, Professor. We'll see you at noon. Professor: Okay. Bye, girls! Bye! Bye! Bye-bye! Bye! Bye![Through this last, she rolls her eyes and pushes him gently but firmly out the door. Walking back in, she closes it and turns her attention to the class]Ms. Keane: Okay, class, take your seats. Girl 1: Ms. Keane, can Blossom sit with us? Girl 2: [pulls Bubbles] Can we sit with Bubbles? Mitch Mitchelson: Can Buttercup sit over here? Ms. Keane: [gathers up the girls to the center where they sit at the table] The girls can sit right here in the middle, so they'll be next to everyone! Class: Yay! Ms. Keane: [now at the chalkboard] Now, let's begin![Keane focus on the clock, which fades from 9 am to noon. She hears a knock on the door. It's the Professor, waving sheepishly with a silly grin]Keane: Hello, Professor, right on time! Your girls are right outside with the other children.[The Professor spies the messy classroom, and becomes distraught]Professor: Oh no! Look at this mess! Ohh, I knew the girls would be a handful, but I'm so sorry. Keane: What, this? [scoffs] This is what happens when you put 20 little kids in one room. Your girls were perfect. Perfect, normal, well-behaved little girls. Professor: Nothing out of the ordinary? Keane: No, like what?[The scene cuts to the girls, with another child, named Kim. Buttercup and Blossom watch on as Bubbles plays hopscotch, throwing a stone to the second square and hopping there. Blossom approves while Buttercup frowns]Blossom: That was sweet! Buttercup: What's the point of this game anyway?[Mitch runs up, and bumps Kim]Mitch: Tag! You're it![Kim giggles as she runs after him. The kids all run away from the girl in a circular pattern, while the Utonium kids stand still in confusion]Blossom: Whoa! Everyone's running from that girl! It's like she's been infected! Buttercup: Maybe she's a freak. Bubbles: Yeah, and they hate her![A nondescript girl appears, and touches Bubbles on the arm. She looks very distressed]Girl #3: Tag, you're it! Bubbles: Oh no! I've been infected![Mitch walks in.]Mitch: All right, what's going on here? Bubbles: I've been infected. Mitch: [smacks head] You're not infected, it's just a game! Bubbles: It is? Mitch: Yeah! Blossom: A game; neat! Buttercup: Yeah, how do we play? Mitch: [groans] OK, look. It's very simple. Bubbles, tag me.[He outstretches his arm to Bubbles. She looks hesitantly at it.]Mitch: Come on, it's okay.[Very slowly, she reaches forward and pokes him quickly before quickly withdrawing]Mitch: All right, now I'm it. And all you gots to do to play is tag someone else.[He tags Buttercup]Mitch: And they're it![He walks out and back]Mitch: By the way, you're it![He runs off. Buttercup shakes her arms]Buttercup: Awesome, I'm it! What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?! Mitch: [running away] Just tag someone else! And they're it![Buttercup looks at him a bit uncertainly. Then her eyes shift over to her sisters, as her brows furrow in a mischievously wicked smile. Blossom and Bubbles look at each other uneasily, then back at Buttercup, nervous smiles planted on their faces. Then run off slowly, as Buttercup breaks into a big smile and pursues them. The other two girls giggle as they run. Looking back, Blossom sees her green sister catching up to them]Blossom: Time to put it into overdrive, Bubbles![The duo speed up in tempo with the music, quickly passing by Ms. Keane, the Professor, and the other school children. Buttercup senses this and likewise increases her speed. The other two girls see where this is going, and again increase their speed, their eyes clenched shut in concentration. As the girls continue to increase their speed, the music reaches a frantic pace, and the scenery becomes a speedy blur. As Buttercup races forward, a green trail begins to emanate behind her, and a streak of fire issues from her feet. Bubbles, blissfully unaware of her sister's proximity, is caught unawares as Buttercup gives her a full-force shove, sending her careening out of control]Buttercup: Tag! You're IT![Accentuating her last word, Bubbles is sent grinding into the pavement and blasting a huge wall into the side of the school. The schoolyard audience leaps back in shock and fear. Bubbles comes bursting out of the roof in a blue parabolic arc, feet jackknifing downwards as she falls]Bubbles: I'm gonna tag you guys now![The other girls quickly break through the schoolyard fence, narrowly avoiding capture as Bubbles slams into the pavement, creating a dust cloud and a large crater. As she slowly pops her head out of the hole, Buttercup and Blossom are a good ten yards away, standing straight and looking at their deposed sister]Buttercup: Haha! You missed us![Bubbles stands there pensively for a moment, then quickly smashes them into a house across the street.]Bubbles: Haha! Tag! You're it![The scene zooms back to show the desiccated house and the skyline of Townsville. As the girls' voices fade out, the results of their mayhem become apparent, as explosions, crashes, flying trees, cars, and cows evidence their destruction]Blossom: No! No, I'm not! Tag, you're it! Buttercup: Tag! Blossom: Missed me! No, you're it! Buttercup: Missed me! Blossom: Tag! Bubbles: Tag! Buttercup: Gotcha! Blossom: Missed me![Their voices trail off into the distance, as a slow pan shows the school children looking onward in gaping astonishment and shock at what they just witnessed. The scene zooms in on the Professor and Ms. Keane. As the teacher stares blankly at what has just transpired, the Professor grins sheepishly again, and takes this convenient opportunity to leave unnoticed through the quite-ample new doorway. The scene cuts to the Professor rushing off from home in his car. His license plate reads "PRFDADY" (a reference to either the words "Professor, Daddy", or a sly reference to Craig McCracken's handle "Puff-Daddy" on PPG forums.) Bubbles and Buttercup, flying at super speed, rush through the city and over a sign that reads, "You are now leaving the City of Townsville".]Bubbles: Whee![Blossom busts right through the sign, clearly the one who is it. The Professor, moments too late, speeds down the nearby street.]Professor: Girls, no! Wait![Bubbles and Buttercup zip around buildings to avoid their tagged sister. The view focuses in on Blossom, hairbow swept back by the wind as she makes several hairpin turns. In a rear view, as she starts to catch up to her other sisters, they speed up, setting all three off in a dazzling whirl of 90 degree turns through the city streets. As they fly, they drag items from papers to cars in the vacuum of their wake. A red ball is also seen bouncing merrily along. At one point, Blossom gasps and grinds her feet to a halt in front of two very surprised people. Using her super hearing, accentuated by animated sonar waves, Blossom cups her arm to her ear, hearing Buttercup's joyful laughter, and a taunting "can't catch me" from Bubbles. (The building reads 801 a reference to PPG801, the codename and web address for the PPG movie before the official website.) Pausing momentarily to decide where to go, Blossom zips off to the right, leaving the two onlookers to stare at her trail, before narrowly avoiding the flying debris that strikes the building's front, notably a car, whose collision is accentuated from several angles. The Professor, still in control of his vehicle, is not far behind, hanging a hard right to follow Blossom. His face is marked with worry.]Professor: Oh no![The same red ball bumps into the Professor's car and continues down Blossom's path. The scene changes to Blossom, keeping her at a fixed distance and focus as she nimbly zooms down city streets. As the camera stops, the roadway behind her glows red and cracks, erupting into flaming debris. Becoming more careless now, Blossom zigzags down a street, leaving a canyon-sized streak behind her. The scene briefly shifts to Buttercup, who has chosen to flee by flying. At a three-way intersection, Buttercup turns left, and the rampaging Blossom just passes her on the straightaway. Turning back o.c., she pummels her way back down Buttercup's path. Following Blossom fixedly behind again, she pursues her flying sister down several twisting streets. Inside a car, a tall thin long-haired young male driver and his shorter, fatter black-haired male friend cry out as the two girls zoom out right in front of them and into busy traffic. (Their appearance could be a reference to Jay and Silent Bob, makers of and actors in such fine titles as Clerks and Mallrats) The driver brakes hard and jerks left, ramming into a large store windowpane. Destroying several more cars, Blossom admires her handiwork, then gasps as she looks forward and notices the traffic jam in front of her. She narrowly zigs between the car lanes, and up onto the side of the adjacent buildings, leaving a similar gouging pattern behind her. The view adjusts sideways, as Blossom runs parallel to the ground across the buildings. Bubbles, for her part, seems to be enjoying this immensely, eyes closed and arms outstretched as she lets out a girlish "whee!" Blossom sees her fly by in the opposite direction, and returning to the ground again, she briefly stops at a street corner before returning alternately to the buildings and ground. Now on her blonde sister's tracks, she pursues the unseen Bubbles down several more streets. Something catches her attention, and she stops, looking upwards with a gasp. The camera focuses in on her head. Her pupils contract rapidly, with a sound similar to a lens instrument focusing in on a distant object. It's a large glass dome ball atop a building, similar in form to a disco ball. Seeing Bubbles' trail in its reflective surface, Blossom zooms in closer and closer to calculate her sister's location]Blossom: Subway, huh?[Her eyes re-dilate, and she scopes the nearest subway entrance, and she darts down the tunnel in a spiral fashion, leaving her customary trail. Bubbles is still blissfully unaware of her would-be captor, continuing to fly without heed to direction. Blossom exits the subway and stands confidently at its exit. Bubbles gasps, suddenly aware of her sister's plot, and hitting the pavement, grinds to a halt mere inches from her sister]Blossom: Tag! You're it![She flies off slowly, an air of smugness written all over her as she blows a raspberry at Bubbles, who for her part takes this in for a moment, then looks quite angry, bursting upwards at high velocity and leaving a massive crater behind her. The debris hits several buildings, and narrowly misses the Professor's car. He gasps as he spots the girls]Professor: There they are![Before he can finish, he hits the crater left by Bubbles, and his car does a complete backflip with a perfect landing. The red ball hits his car again]Blossom: Watch out, here she comes![Bubbles is now the pursuer. Narrowly missing her sisters, she backpedals by pushing off of the glass globe, which we can now clearly see is the logo of Olive Corp. The impact shatters the narrow base, and the sphere rolls off the building top. As pedestrians scream in horror, the globe smashes into a street way and starts rolling downwards, the surroundings mirrored in its surface. It hits a building at a street corner, and turns onto another road, smashing stores left and right as it bumps back-and-forth down the street. A distant shot shows the girls continuing to flee from Bubbles, smashing into various buildings along the way. As they head towards ground, the force of one impact actually causes the road to curl upwards, sending cars hurling upwards as the wave of asphalt hits them. Buttercup, stationary, pops her head out from behind a corner building, laughing to herself for giving her sisters the slip]Buttercup: Hah, suckers![The road wave reaches Buttercup, and she is sent spinning vertically into the air, with a blank expression on her face. Bubbles zooms up to her and tags her just at the height of her climb]Bubbles: Tag, you're it![The scene cuts to inside a rather swank looking home high above the city, where a smooth-talking gentleman is wooing a young lady. A car is seeing hurtling towards the room's full-wall windows]Smooth Man: You know, I've got a nice car.[The scene cuts away right before the car hits, and from down below, the Professor looks upwards at the high-story impact, as glass rains down on his car. He spies the girls, finally stopped, high in the air in a circle]Professor: Huh?[Blossom and Bubbles tag Buttercup]Both: Tag, you're it! Buttercup: Hey![The two girls disappear behind a post-modern style building, and Buttercup, looking left and right, gives a banshee scream as she angrily realizes she's lost them. Tired of playing around, she smashes a beeline right through several buildings. Blossom and Bubbles are standing calmly above a building similar to the Seattle Space Needle]Blossom: She'll never find us up here![Buttercup smashes through several more buildings in a fury of anger]Blossom: Do you hear something?[The pursuer smashes through a sign labeled gas, which for some reason, is actually filled with a flammable substance. She zooms forward, trailing the edge of the giant fireball billowing out behind her]Blossom: Whoa! Run![As the two anxiously flee, Buttercup zooms behind them and taps them both. Their forms are silhouetted behind the massive fireball emanating in the background]Buttercup: Tag, you're both it![The three stop, and argue as a fire rages on behind them]Blossom: Hey! We can't both be it! Buttercup: Why not?[Bubbles touches Blossom]Bubbles: Tag! Blossom: What?! I can't be it twice! Bubbles: Why not? Blossom: OK then, tag! Now you guys are it! Buttercup: [to Bubbles] Tag! Bubbles: [to the other two] Tag! Buttercup: Hey, no tag backs! [to Blossom] Tag! Blossom: [to Bubbles] Tag! Girls: Tag, tag, tag, tag, tag, tag, tag![The Professor turns a corner and screeches to a halt. He has a good view of the girls from a giant hole through several buildings]Girls: Tag, tag, tag! You're it! No, you're it![They take off again, in an elaborate design of flying patterns, as the scene slowly pulls back, moving inside a stately room, where the Mayor looks at the raging destruction]Mayor of Townsville: Oh, boy.[The Mayor throws open a set of large double doors, his now-visible face revealing a bald head, top hat, white mustache and single monocle with one eye clenched shut. A sash across his chest says "Mayor". As he scuttles his small legs across the red-carpeted floor, he continues to chant to himself]Mayor of Townsville: Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. [the girls again. Now the Professor has to dodge wrecked cars and craters as he drives. Cut to a set of doors at the top of a staircase inside Townsville Hall; these are thrown open by the Mayor, who then descends the steps] Oh boy. Sara Bellum: [catches him up to him with a clipboard in her hand] "Oh boy" is right, Mayor. It's terrible, the town is being destroyed by three girls with freakish powers. This is a very serious situation. What action do you propose we take?[The action continues to switch between the girls, Professor, and Mayor once more. Several concerned businessmen are shoving papers in Bellum's off-screened face]Ms. Bellum: Don't worry, gentlemen, the Mayor and I have the situation under control. Mayor: Oh, boy. Ms. Bellum: I know, sir.[The scenes rotate again. Now, a large crowd of people is surrounding the two politicians]Mayor: Oh, boy. Ms. Bellum: You tell them, Mayor. Townsville will not stand for this kind of behavior.[The scenes rotate again. Now, the mayoral group is outside, led by the diminutive public official]Ms. Bellum: Uh, Mayor? Hello? City being destroyed? Where are you going? Mayor: Oh, boy! Ms. Bellum: Mayor, what are you doing? We're in a serious pickle. Mayor: Exactly.[The group stops mid-stride. The mayor is in front of a food cart. The Professor rushes behind the girls.]Professor: Girls, no![The vendor is seen busying himself inside the food cart]Mayor: [clears throat] Hello.[The vendor pops his head out. He looks like the Mayor, but with a black mustache, a bad Italian hat, and an even worse Italian accent]Cucor: Hello. Mayor: The usual, Cucor.[At this point, we can see that Cucor's nose looks like a giant bumpy pickle]Cucor: [approving smack; mwah] Ahh, yes. I have a fine vintage for you here. Picked fresh today.[Heavenly music plays as a detailed view of a moist green pickle is lofted high with a pair of tongs, brine dripping off its bumpy surface]Mayor: Oh, boy![Glimpses show the continually tagging girls and the Mayor slowly bringing the pickle towards his mustachioed lips. As the girls barrel forward, they strike the pickle cart outside Town Hall, the resultant explosion blasting everyone backward. As the smoke clears, it reveals a giant impact crater left by the girls' impact, and the vendor cart demolished. The girls are lying down in the center, laughing giddily and rapidly talking about the game. The Professor runs into the scene and over the pile of dazed bodies]Professor: Girls, girls, are you OK?![All three get up and touch the Professor]Girls: Tag! You're it, Professor! [laughing][Somber music plays as the Mayor is shown lying prostrate on the ground, his beloved pickle tumbled out of his grasp. In a long zoom out from Town Hall, the true extent of destruction is shown, as the glass ball smashes into another building and comes to a halt. The camera does an extreme zoom out, showing the entire city of Townsville, and revealing the true extent of the damage. Buildings are pockmarked with house-sized holes, and the Space Needle building's top takes this opportunity to fall over and jabs into the ground like an oversized dart][A stack of newspapers hits the street. It's the Townsville Tribune. On the top half of the cover is a cut-off picture of Buttercup, with the words "Freaky Bug-Eyed Weirdo Girls Broke Everything" in large bold print, ala New York Times. In the shadows of an alley, the pink eyes of Jojo are seen reading the paper. (The paper is a wealth of inside jokes. The face of Craig McCracken, the series creator, is seen in a watermark in the upper left corner. The paper also reads July 3rd the opening date of the Powerpuff movie. And the back has a picture of a Gorillaz poster.) Jojo's voice has obviously lowered]Jojo: Hmm. [laughing maniacally][The girls' reflections are mirrored in the large glass dome as they walk by it. The camera zooms in on Buttercup]Buttercup: Well, it's official. I have no idea where we are. Blossom: Well, I can't say it's been the best day. Bubbles: But it probably couldn't get much worse.[On the cue, it starts to rain hard. Buttercup starts to yell out and Bubbles begins to cry.]Blossom: Hey, it's OK. Maybe there's a box we can get in around back. Come on.[The girls walk behind what looks like Malph's Market]Blossom: See, there’s a whole bunch of boxes.[After Jojo, who is a hobo, saved the girls from the Gangreen Gang, they pursued him down the rainy alley. Jojo seeks refuge in a box. As the girls run up searching in his direction, Blossom is the first to spot him]Blossom: Hey, guys, over here! Hi! What's your name? I'm Blossom. Buttercup: Buttercup. Bubbles: And I'm Bubbles! Jojo: [first words; with Japanese accent] Go away, please. Do not look at me. Blossom: But we just wanted to thank you for saving us from those green gangsters back there. Buttercup: Yeah, that was amazing with the trash can lid! It was all fwish, bang, crash, bam, boom! Bubbles: Yeah, you rock![The scene slowly zooms in on Jojo. His eyes open in the darkness]Jojo: No, please. I dare not listen. For I have been lashed by harsh tongues for too long. Alas, my little ones, I do not rock. For I, Jojo, am a monster.[As Jojo scowls, lightning flashes briefly revealing his face]Blossom: You're not a monster. Monsters are evil. Buttercup: Yeah, and anybody who would save us like you did is so not evil. Bubbles: You're no monster, mister. You're just really dirty. Jojo: Please, you're just trying to make me feel better. But my pain is not for you to understand. Besides, how could you? For you are pure and innocent, and most certainly loved.[The girls glance at each other]Jojo: How could you know what it is to be cast out into a world that only offers misery? How could you know what it's like for people to fear and despise you for the very things that make you special?[The girls drop their heads in a silent understanding]Jojo: Because you don't fit in! Because you are... A FREAK!!!!!![Jojo emerges from his box, his grocery bag in hand, revealing his huge brain after the explosion that originally created the girls]Blossom: Because... [as they float up a distance; cut to their perspective—he looks up, stunned] we're freaks, too.[Cut back to ground level, just behind Jojo]Jojo: What amazing powers! Blossom: No, they're terrible! Jojo: I'll bet everyone hates them. Buttercup: Yeah! Jojo: And they hate you, too? Bubbles: [small voice] Yes. Jojo; [turns away, his eyes tearing up.] I am in the same boat. This brain is full of brilliant ideas! But will anyone listen? No. Nothing in this gray matters... [walking back into box] so what's the point?[The girls land in front of it]Bubbles: Oh, Jojo, don't be sad. [just inside; the girls are seen around his silhouette, and the rain stops] Our dad says that sometimes people get angry when they don't understand something special or unique. [as his eyes open—narrowed and calculating; he faces us]Blossom: And if you just give people time, they'll start to understand your specialness. [as he grins nastily][Outside the box again; he pokes his head out]Buttercup: Yeah, you just gotta believe in yourself! Jojo: [eagerly, rapid-fire] You mean, if I take the time to construct my most ingenious plan, the-help-the-town-and-make-it-a-better-place-machine, then people will come to understand my specialness? Buttercup: Uhh... Jojo: Okay, I'll do it! But I'll need your help![Long shot of the volcano in the middle of the park. There is no observatory on its peak. At this distance, neither the girls nor Jojo is visible]Girls: WHAT?![Close-up of the crater, all four at its edge. Jojo has his bag on again and is holding a piece of equipment shaped like a large, thick, stubby pencil. Even though the weather is now calm, his scarf continues to billow under its own power—just like the cape that will ultimately replace it.]Jojo: Jump in, take this device and build it into the volcano - we need to harness the energy of the Earth's core for power! Blossom: What are you talking about? Jojo: The plan! Buttercup: What plan? Jojo: Our plan! Bubbles: To do what? Jojo: To make the town better, of course. Girls: What? Jojo: You know. [pulling out a blueprint] Using my ideas and your powers... [his perspective; he spreads out the plans in front of them. They show the observatory as we now know it, with detailed views of a cluster of globes and a cylindrical enclosure. Note; These plans carry the PPG-801 designation, and when Jojo moves his hand, we can see that they were approved by Cartoon Network Studios] we will build the help-the-town-and-make-it-a-better-place machine. That way everyone will see that our special abilities are good, then everyone will love us. Remember? It was your idea! Blossom: Uhh.. oh yeah! But use our powers? [Back and forth between Jojo and the girls]Jojo: Yes! Buttercup: No way! Jojo: Come on! Bubbles: Nuh-uh. We're never using our powers again. Jojo: Oh, girls, don't be sad. Your powers are great! You just gotta believe in yourself.[Jojo gives them a calculating, sly grin—the sort they would never trust if they had run into him before this encounter—and they look to each other, then toward the crater. Their images are reflected from the surface of the boiling lava within; from here, the camera tilts up to point across the crater and into the night. After a long moment, a tri-colored light streak flashes down from above and splashes into the volcano. Jojo grins broadly at the sight. Inside the volcano, the girls plunge through the lava, holding their breath and hauling the equipment. They go deeper and deeper as the glow from the subterranean heat finally turns pure white and fills the screen. The girls fade into view and let go of their payload, point down; it remains in place, the pointed end opens, and a small platform shoots up from the blunt end. Tethered to the body by a cable, it emerges from the core and zooms toward the surface, with the girls keeping pace. Back to the crater; they and the platform emerge, throwing gobbets of lava everywhere. Jojo pays no mind to the hazard, instead jumping for joy]Jojo: YES!!! YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!Blossom: We did good? Jojo: You did very good. Very good indeed. [as his eyes shift slantily]Buttercup: Now what do we do? [as his perspective of the plans] Jojo: First, we construct the superstructure.[Cut to a frozen wasteland and pan across it as the girls fly into view. They land on a patch of snow and ice beneath which the outline of a large meteorite is dimly visible, then start firing their eye lasers at this. The screen fills with steam from the vaporizing snow; when it clears, the camera has shifted into the hole they have made, which is considerable. They step to the edge and look in for a moment before Buttercup slides down, the camera following. She disappears behind the meteorite, which begins to shake and then lift away from the snow under her efforts. Back to Jojo on the crater’s lip; now a support rod protrudes into view from the o.c. platform and is anchored to the interior wall. He gives directions as the camera pulls back to show the girls holding the meteorite above the platform. Other rods anchor it to the crater wall. From here, cut to Blossom and Buttercup in midair, firing their eye lasers toward the space debris as Bubbles holds it. A stream of liquid metal pours down from it to fill an I-beam mold being held in place by Jojo, who is giving more directions. Now we see a framework of such beams under construction. Buttercup swings one over so that Bubbles can weld it to another with her eye lasers; pan to Blossom, who is bending another one into an arc to connect with one already in place. She then zaps the joint. Pull back to a long shot of the volcano, which now has the lower portion of what will become the observatory in place. Cut to the ocean floor as the girls dive toward it; sunken ships dot the view. They zip among and through several of the wrecks before arriving at a submarine whose windows glow with light, even though there is a large rip in the hull. This is promptly lifted free, and the lights flicker and go out as their source—a school of angler fish, each with a small light on the end of a stalk extending from the head—emerges and swims away. Around the sub, the scene dissolves to the night sky; the girls are holding it above the partially completed dome support frame. Jojo calls instructions from its base. Cut to a close-up of Bubbles, now standing on the floor with a beam slung over her shoulder, and pull back to show the sub now held up by her sisters as their boss looks on. She swings the beam, breaking the hull like a piñata and releasing a shower of components. Blossom and Buttercup fly back and forth and catch as many falling pieces as they can, Jojo looks over two of them, and Bubbles watches happily. He plugs two cords together and is rewarded with the glow of vacuum tubes; pull back as the walls and floor in the now-completed dome start to glow green and flash. Main power is functioning, much to the delight of all four. Jojo is at a partially built control panel in the center of the floor, with cables running toward the walls. Long shot of the volcano; now the observatory exterior has taken on its current form, complete with telescope. The girls fly away from the city, and the scene dissolves around them to a desert. Flying together in a tight circle, they create a tornado to stir up clouds of sand that fill the screen. These give way to the observatory’s interior, where the sand they picked up during this run lies in drifts near the wall. Jojo directs the girls’ work as they melt the material with their eye lasers; dissolve to them in midair, blowing the molten glass. Each ends up with a large globe that has a thin tube attached. Note: There is no dialogue through the preceding six paragraphs, and the girls’ actions are marked only by the occasional musical sound effect. Jojo wrenches on a piece of machinery. During the next line, cut to the girls as they attach the globes to a large central hub and heat-seal the joints]Jojo: [with mounting fervor] Look! Can't you see our plan is working? Our work is proceeding as planned! At last, our lives will be better![Back to him, standing among a row of metal bases running along the wall. The girls descend into view and each set a bell-jar-shaped glass cover onto a base to create a holding tank such as that seen in the blueprint’s details]Jojo: At last, we will be accepted! [his perspective of the blueprint’s main drawing] At last, our greatest work is comple...[On the end of this, the paper is lowered o.c. to show the interior of the completed observatory. The tanks run around the chamber’s entire perimeter, electrodes fitted to their tops, and floor cables radiate out from center to walls. The assembly of globes, also matching the blueprint’s details, is suspended within a huge globe that hangs above the completed control panel. A cable or tube runs from the underside of this to the top of each tank. Back to Jojo and the girls. He is looking intently at the plans]Jojo: Oops. Blossom: What's wrong? Jojo: [sweetly] Well, there is one last, teeny tiny, itsy bitsy thing we still need.[Close-up of a flask of Chemical X, then pull back to show it in the Professor’s lab. The girls fly into view and stop in front of it; cut to the exterior of the house as they fly out through the front door, then to a long shot of the observatory as they return. It is now the following day. Inside, they stop in front of Jojo and Blossom shows him the flask, freshly purloined from the lab. He smiles and points up; the camera follows as the girls fly to the top of the huge outer globe and set the flask in a socket up there. On the ground, Jojo begins to jump for joy again]Jojo: YES!!! YES!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!Blossom: We did good? Jojo: [as the girls descend] You did very good. Very good indeed. Buttercup: Now what do we do? Jojo: Well, because you've done so good, I've got a special surprise![Snap to black, which resolves into the back of Buttercup’s head backing away from the camera. All three girls run toward the entrance of the Townsville Zoo, while Jojo walks behind]Girls: Yay! [as he moves farther away from the camera, his back comes into view—he is holding a camera behind it. Cut to the girls at a low wall] Girls: Ohhhh... [Pull back on this; they are outside the elephant pen. Jojo pays no attention to the beasts. Cut to the girls at another wall, with him still not bothering to look] Girls: Ahhhh...[Again, pull back as they say this to show them now watching a couple of happy seals in a pond. Cut to them at yet another wall, with Jojo still disregarding the sights]Girls: Ooooh...[Pull back on this to frame an exhibit of lions, then cut to them flying down a path. They stop and squeal happily when they reach a sign indicating that the zebras are nearby, and they zip away in its direction. After a moment, Jojo walks into view from that direction, a quiet smile on his face and only his head and shoulders visible; cut to behind him so that we can now see three puzzled girls tucked under his arms. Pull back to show that they are on the way to Primate Plaza. Monkeys hang from a branch behind a fence as the four observe. The girls are enjoying the spectacle, but Jojo seems a bit down in the mouth. His face brightens as he holds up his camera. Cut to his perspective through its viewfinder; he steps back to get them into frame, along with the monkeys, and the view shifts to point over his shoulder at the girls. After a moment, he lowers the camera and waves to one side. His perspective again: they step away, finally moving out of frame altogether and leaving the viewfinder centered on a monkey’s rump. Back to Jojo, who gives a thumbs-up and clicks the shutter release, then to the viewfinder once more. Now only Bubbles and part of Blossom are in frame as the flash goes off. The monkey screeches, claps its hands to its rump, and drops out of sight. Another camera-eye view: the girls strike various goofy poses. Pan from them to a couple of baboons, the larger one yelling at the smaller. It stops and runs away when the flash goes off. Cut to yet another silly shot of the girls in the viewfinder, then shift quickly to a large-nosed proboscis monkey sitting in a tree. At the next flash, it tumbles from its perch. Normal shot: a few Japanese macaque monkeys sitting in a steaming lagoon. One of them is scratching at another’s fur and eating the lice it picks out. At a flash from the o.c. Jojo’s camera, the one being groomed starts screeching at the lice picker. Now an old orangutan is seen eating an apple; at the next flash, it spits out its mouthful. A small, light-furred monkey makes its way from vine to vine, but falls in fright upon having its picture taken. We next see a quick series of primates and simians, each of which starts in fear and shock when the flash goes off. The tempo of Jojo’s picture taking steadily increases until the subjects are flashing by. Cut to the left end of a poster showing the stages of man’s evolution. The girls, all o.c., read the one-word description of each stage as the camera pulls back and pans toward modern man, the seventh drawing at the far right]Buttercup: Worthless. Blossom: Lame. Bubbles: Stupid! Buttercup: Okay. Blossom: Better. Bubbles: Almost. Girls: Awesome![Each drawing has a time period under its caption. L to R: 4.5 million BC, 3.5 million BC, 2.5 million BC, 2.1 million BC, 750,000 BC, 250,000 BC, today. The modern man wears a suit and carries a briefcase. Pull back from the poster to frame the girls and Jojo; the girls giggle at the depictions, but he looks away with pure contempt. His eyes suddenly go wide, and the camera pulls back some distance to show what he has seen: a large mountain gorilla sitting atop a rock. Grinning wickedly, he raises his camera and takes a picture. When the flash subsides, the view has shifted to zoom in quickly on a patch of fur, after which it pulls back to frame the entire creature. It grunts briefly in surprise and starts to scratch at a spot near its shoulder. Extreme close-up of this, moving slowly over to a small electronic component now embedded among the hairs—shot from the camera. It beeps and has a flashing red light, and its shape and details vaguely resemble the braincap that Jojo will ultimately adopt as his headgear. Back to Jojo, a satisfied smile on his face; he starts o.c.]Jojo: Come, girls, our work is fin... [Pull back; he passes the girls, who are watching animals that might be prairie dogs] ...oh I mean... [Close-up of them; he contnues o.c.] ...time to go. Girls: Awwww...[Cut to him walking toward the exit, with them trailing]Girls: But, Jojo! [pass a discarded baby rattle on the next lines]Blossom: We haven't seen the gazelles! Buttercup: Or the crocodiles! Bubbles: Or the unicorns! [pleading] Just one unico... [trips over the rattle and ends up flat on her face. A baby is heard crying o.c.; she turns to look for it, and the camera follows her gaze to show a mother and two children—a young boy and said infant—on their way out. She runs after them with the toy] Excuse me, ma'am. I think you dropped this.[On the end of this line, she reaches the mother; the boy looks at her with loathing writ large. Tilt up to the woman, whose face only shows more of the same. They’re mad at Bubbles because of the damage that Bubbles and her sisters caused to the city two days earlier. She snatches the rattle away and starts to drag the boy along behind her]Mother: [contemptuous little snort] I thought the zoo kept all the animals in cages! [tilt down to the girls; Blossom consoles Bubbles]Buttercup: [calling after mother] Yeah? Well, you're welcome, lady! Blossom: Don't listen, Bubbles.[Jojo’s shadow falls over all three]Jojo: [from o.c.] That's right, Bubbles, do not listen. [stepping to them] All of you deafen yourselves to their heartless words. They do not know that it is their saviors they are speaking to. They are unaware that your actions will have helped change their world forever![This brightens the girls’ mood quite a bit, and he gathers them up in a hug]Jojo: Because we have helped the town and made it a better place. Blossom: Do you think they'll be surprised? Jojo: Oh yeah. Buttercup: You think they'll still be mad at us for playing tag? Jojo: No, they'll have forgotten all about that. Bubbles: Will they love us? [tense silence for a moment]Jojo: Yes. Girls: Really? Jojo: Would I lie to you?[They smile at one another. Fade to black][Later that night, the girls fly back home]Blossom: I'm so excited! Buttercup: Yeah, we'll show 'em! Bubbles: Hey, where's...?[On cue, the Professor is thrown roughly head first into the house by the same policemen who arrested him earlier]Girls: Professor![Buttercup melts the handcuffs off his wrists with her laser vision]Professor: Oh, girls, thank goodness you're OK! I'm so sorry! I'm a terrible, terrible parent! You must hate me for not picking you up from school. But it's not my fault. It's this town. They've gone crazy. It's like they've never seen kids playing before. I knew your powers would take some getting used to, but jail? Lawsuits? Angry mobs? What's next? Girls: Don't worry, Professor, things are going to get better. We promise.[Back in his volcano top observatory, Jojo now sits in the center of the contraption, discarding his coat and bag, an evil grin spread across his face. He pushes a red button, and the tracking devices planted in the monkeys' fur come to life, transporting them away from the zoo, and into pre-arranged liquid-filled cages lined in a circular fashion about Jojo. Another flip of the switch and the large glass ball contraption comes to life. The Chemical X drains from the large beaker on top, and the glass balls, spinning rapidly, each fills with a smaller dosage of the black liquid. Another dial is turned, and the room is cast into a green glow as lightning begins to spark from the balls. The liquid drains from each of the globes, and the monkeys are enveloped in it. They screech in pain and agony under the assault. Lighting begins to issue from their bodies, and their skin begins to turn as green as Jojo's, along with their eyes taking on the same pink hue as Mojo's as well, while their brains grow out from their heads in a similar fashion to Jojo, who laughs evilly, as rapidly flashing red and green lights flash around him. The shot zooms out, revealing the monkeys now suspended quite prostate, their brains sticking far out from their heads. The shot continues back, showing the observatory, the city of Townsville, and finally back through the far-right window of the girls' bedroom, where they are sleeping peacefully, blissfully unaware of the events transpiring miles away in the city proper. Fade to black][At this point, the girls and the Professor reach downtown and are astonished and shocked by what they see. A quick zoom out reveals that there are now hundreds of monkeys ravaging the townsfolk. The camera focuses on Jojo standing confidently in front of town hall, the Mayor's head under one of his boots. He then points towards the girls as he speaks]Jojo: Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup! I couldn't have done it without'cha![The girls are in shock]Man #1: It's their fault! Man #2: I knew they were no good![Jojo laughs maniacally]Blossom: Jojo, what happened?! Bubbles: This isn't making the town a better place! Jojo: [last words] Yes, it is! For me! The hobo "fomo"-ly known as Jojo is "nomo"! From this day "fowo"-d, I shall be known as... MOJO JOJO!!!!!!!![Jojo, now known as Mojo Jojo, swoops his cape back in dramatic effect, the Mayor still crushed under his right boot. The girls gasp in astonishment]Mojo Jojo: [first words] For too long, apes and monkeys have been under the thumb of man! Well, the time has come to oppose that thumb, and take hold of what is rightfully ours: THE WORLD!!!!!!!![The girls face the Professor, who is now at the top of the steps]Girls: Professor! [as he collapses to his knees] We didn't want this! Woman: Liars! Man #3: Fibbers! Man #4: You've doomed us all! [as close-up of the Professor, his mind reeling]Blossom: [from o.c.] Please, Professor. [as he raises his head; cut to them] Please believe us.[Tilt down from them to point toward the street—his perspective—and then cut back to him. He tries to sort out the situation for some moments before speaking again]Professor: I don't know who to believe.[The girls gasp]Professor: I thought you were good.[Long shot of the skyline; the girls rocket straight up from it into space, the camera following]Girls: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![after the girls zoom into space, the screen is completely black. Tilt down quickly to Mojo Jojo, now holding the Mayor in the air and waving him around]Mojo Jojo: Yeah! Whoo! Alright! [spiking Mayor like a football] I rock! I rock so hard. For I, Mojo Jojo, have succeeded in my first, greatest, and most brilliant plan ever! And I, Mojo Jojo, shall be KING OF THE PLANET OF THE APES!!!!!!![Pause, at this point there is silence. None of Mojo Jojo's army is attacking the crowd anymore as all their attention has shifted to Mojo Jojo and his declaration of being king. Their expressions make it clear that none of them are willing to accept this declaration from Mojo Jojo of him being their leader and king when they've done all the work. A Bornean Orangutan speaks out from the nearby crowd, his bulging brain, spiteful glance, and tone of voice similar in form to Mojo Jojo's.]Ojo Tango: [first words] You shall be King?! Preposterous! Mojo Jojo: What?! How dare you! Ojo Tango: [while putting on Mojo Jojo's identical clothes] For it is I, who's the one most suited to be ruler. Mojo Jojo: Those are my clothes! Ojo Tango: I, Ojo Tango, shall be simian supreme! Mojo Jojo: No Ojo! Mojo![Back to the upstart; as he continues; he climbs down into the machine, a hatch closing behind him. This is a large, tank-treaded vehicle with two side-mounted cannons, which are pointed straight down so that it can balance on them. It throws its weight ahead, lands on its treads, and points the cannons forward.]Ojo Tango: [last words] As I unleash the offensive omnipotence of the oppressive orango-tank![At this point, a lowland gorilla speaks up. His voice is very low and burly.]Rocko Socko: [first words, burly deep voice] Hold on! Mojo Jojo: Oh, no! Rocko Socko: [while putting on metal fists and another variant of Mojo's clothes] It is I who shall get a grip on this situation. Mojo: You'd better not! Rocko Socko: [last words] As I, Rocko Socko, seize control and rule! [smashes a hole in a building]Mojo Jojo: Wait![All of the primates wear variants of Mojo's clothes][A lanky olive baboon speaks next.]Baboon Kaboom: [first words] [getting into a baboon robot] I, Baboon Kaboom, with my Baboon-bot, will be the bomb![He leaps into the aforementioned contraption as he says this; it is a large robot in the shape of a baboon, with a red-and-white striped pipe sticking out from the rear end, and it stands on a rooftop.]Mojo Jojo: Uh-oh.[Back to the robot, zooming in on the tailpipe.]Baboon Kaboom: [last words] And if you don't like it, you can sniff my Baboon-bot bombs! [as the Baboon-bot poops out 3 bombs, it throws them and they explode]Mojo Jojo: [sarcastically] Oh, that's classy.[A large barrel of White handed gibbons, in the same form as the famous Barrel of Monkeys toy, rolls down the street. A group of them speaks at once.]Go Go Po-Trol: [first and last words, all at once] Gangway, gangway! For we, the Go Go Po-Trol, as brothers-in-arms, are linked to form a chain of command that will reach out and take over the world![A Japanese Macaque is standing in a vat of boiling water atop a dam.]Hotta Wata: [first and last words] I, Hotta Wata, am boiling mad for you are all wet behind the ears. [the dam breaks] Therefore, I shall unleash a scalding torrent to drown you all out. For I don't give a– Mojo Jojo: Watch your mouth![Next is a West African chimpanzee with a pair of cymbals, moving sporadically like a toy as he clashes his cymbals.]Cha-Ching Cha-Ching: [first and last words] I, Cha-Ching Cha-Ching, symbolize chaotic calamity. [bangs cymbals together][Next is a large group of Spider monkeys with flying rocket packs. They speak in unison.]Doot Da Doot Da Doo Doos: [first and last words, all at once] We, the Doot Da Doot Da Doo Doos, shall rain on your parade because… [they spit] we're the spit! Mojo Jojo: [disgusted] Eww![A proboscis monkey speaks next, imitating Jimmy Durante, with a dance number playing in the background as he half-sings the words. A large array of banana peels lie before him.]Hacha Chacha: [first and last words, singing] ♪ My name is Hacha Chacha! ♪♪ And here's my schpiel! ♪♪ A diabolical plan with lots of appeal! ♪ ♪ Spreading out bananas far and wide! ♪♪ And fixing up the folks for a slippery slide! ♪[A man and woman slip on banana peels]Mayor: That's pretty catchy.[A nervous young bonobo speaks next, clearly putting together his plan at the last minute.]Blah-Blah Blah-Blah: [first and last words] I, Blah-Blah Blah-Blah, [Quick pan to a hot plate; he pours tomato sauce into a pot on it, with empty jars all around.] shall create a sauce of chaos, [Another pan, he wheels the hot plate through the street and stirs the pot, and a funnel cloud emerges.] and stir up trouble [Quick pan ahead to a few buildings; the tomato typhoon starts to rip them apart.] with a destructive force known as the Tormato! Mojo Jojo: Tormaato?!Mayor: Tormayto. [Mojo Jojo kicks him away] WOO-HOO![Quick pan to a mandrill driving a two-wheeled vehicle with a large drill bit mounted in front.]Killa Drilla: [first and last words] I, Killa Drilla![A Cross River Gorilla runs down the street, delivering headbutts.]Bonzo Bango: [first and last words] I, Bonzo Bango![A very fat tapanuli orangutan rolls over people.]Rolo Ovo: [first and last words] I, Rolo Ovo![A small pygmy marmoset bites someone’s thumb.]Cruncha Muncha: [first and last words] I, Cruncha Muncha![a young nigeria-cameroon chimpanzee slaps a young man’s face.]Wacko Smacko: [first and last words] I, Wacko Smacko![An old eastern chimpanzee in a tattered outfit slaps a senior citizen.]Pappy Wappy: [first and last words] I, Pappy Wappy![Now we see a quick series of shots of various other monkeys, each of whom cries out, “I!”—more pretenders to the throne. The tempo steadily accelerates through this sequence, during which the ambient light goes from green to yellow and finally red. Finally the camera cuts to a long shot of Mojo Jojo and zooms in quickly. He has had entirely too much of this.]Mojo Jojo: [losing control of his rage and yelling at his army of apes and monkeys] NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Stop! Cease! Desist! Do not continue with the ramblings, for my ramblings are the ramblings to be obeyed! For I am the king, supreme leader and all-around dictator! DON'T YOU SEE?! All you monkeys are my plan, so your plans are my plans because you made plans and my plan was to make you! I plan to rule the planet, not to have my plan's plan to stop me! I AM YOUR CREATOR! I AM YOUR KING! I AM MOJO JOJO! [pushes the Professor aside] OBEY MEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!![The shot cuts to a view of outer space. Despite the lack of air to convey sound, the sound of distant crying is heard. The shot zooms into the asteroid belt and focuses on a single rock. Bubbles is sitting on the surface, her head is thrown back in utter dejection and despair and is having a torrent of cries issuing from her mouth. The scene pulls back to show a saddened Blossom sitting on a rocky outcropping, and Buttercup fuming by herself in the distance. Their voices echo in the emptiness of space]Buttercup: That jerk! That big, fat, dumb jerk! He duped us! He planned it all along and we fell for it! Bubbles: [voice breaking] And now, everybody hates us even more![She continues crying, then stops when she looks at Buttercup]Bubbles: What are you doing?[Buttercup has started digging a crude wall in the asteroid]Buttercup: What does it look like I'm doing?! I'm building a house. ‘Cause now, we have to live here! Bubbles: Live here? Buttercup: Yeah, don't you see? This can be the bedroom, and this is my bed! [she slumps down on a crude jutting of rock, and points.] That can be your bed over there. Bubbles: I don't wanna sleep on a rock! [cries a bit more as the camera pulls back to put Blossom in the fore]Blossom: [accusingly] Maybe if someone hadn't pushed Bubbles into the school... Buttercup: [sarcastically] Oh, look, she speaks! [taking Blossom’s tone, walking to her] Well maybe if someone hadn't insisted on walking home from school so we could run into the BIGGEST LIAR IN THE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!Blossom: We weren't allowed to use our powers, and you know it![Bubbles watches the argument from a distance; zoon in on her, putting them out of view, on the next line]Buttercup: Oh, look, it's Ms. Goody-goody! [pull back to frame all three and pan to Buttercup on the next line]Blossom: What was I supposed to do?! We weren't going to get people to stop hating us by breaking rules! Buttercup: Oh, yeah?! And using our superpowers to make a "Help the Town and Make It a Better Place Machine"... [pull back into space; we cannot see her from here] WAS FOLLOWING RULES????!!!! [as she crosses her eyes and takes on a particularly nasty tone when she says the name of the “Machine.” Back to the asteroid’s surface]Blossom: I didn't see you putting up a fight! Buttercup: Well, you're gonna now! [hurls herself at Blossom; the two tumble back and forth across the screen. Bubbles stands back and watches the scuffle, her back to the camera]Blossom: [as they roll around] Well, if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be in this stupid mess! You stupid![Bubbles drops to her knees; long shot of her as she starts wailing all over again. Buttercup slams down in the foreground so that all we see is an extreme close-up of her head and arms. She is on her stomach and struggles to rise, but is unable to do so after some moments. She stops briefly, then screams and pounds her fists against the ground; pull back to show Blossom sitting on her. By this point, Bubbles’ crying is no longer heard]Blossom: I'm not fighting with you, Buttercup! Buttercup: Oh, yeah?! 'Cause you know I'll kick your butt! Blossom: [standing up] No! Because I know...oh, never mind! [pull back to frame both; they stand well apart] I'm not fighting with you! And I'm not talking to you, EVER!!!!!Buttercup: Well, prepare yourself for a looooooong silence, girl, ‘cause we're going to spend the rest of our lives here, thanks to you![On the end of this line, cut to Blossom; she steps away a bit and sits down, her back to Buttercup’s shadow. Back to the latter]Buttercup: At least I got me a bed![A long shot now shows a massive amount of destruction being done to Townsville. All three girls hear their screams now, and the pain is unbearable. They strike the famous "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" pose. Mojo Jojo advances on the Professor, who lies hunched in a ball on the steps of City Hall. He gasps as Mojo Jojo grabs him by the throat. What he utters is able to snap the girls out of their blue funk]Professor: Girls! Girls: Professor![The girls rush back to Townsville amidst the destruction]Girls: Professor! Professor! PROFESSOR![With another explosion, missiles strike at the base of a stirring statue of the mayor riding triumphantly on a horse. The statues fall, aiming to strike a hapless lady below. Bubbles sees this and makes a sideways U-turn, diving to save the woman]Blossom: Bubbles, wait![Bubbles swoops downward, picking up the woman and narrowly saving her. Her sisters rejoin her, with a lady in hand]Blossom: Good job, Bubbles, but we really got to save... Lady: The baby![The baby is sitting in a carriage, holding a bomb recently spewed from the rear of Baboon Kaboom's Baboon-Bot bomb machine. Several more drop out in the next few moments]Blossom: Holy...![Blossom narrowly swears as she saves the baby just as the bombs explode around her]Buttercup: Hey, what about…? Lady: THE DOG!!![The torrent of water is seen rushing down the streets. Hotta Wata pushes a dog underwater by the head]Buttercup: Whoa![She rushes underwater and rescues the dog. Elsewhere, Bubbles is talking to the lady, now placed safely on a rooftop]Bubbles: You'll be safe here.[Now dripping wet, Buttercup sets the dog down]Buttercup: Good dog. Can we find the professor now, please?![She looks back at the dog. The barrel of monkeys threatens to squish him flat]Buttercup: Aww, man![Bubbles nabs the car out of Rocko's grasp, much to his surprise. Blossom saves a man in a phone booth from being crushed by Ojo's Orangu-tank's track. Buttercup zips to save the dog. Bubbles and Blossom avoid torrents of flying things and people as they carry the car and phone booth, respectively. The tomato tornado is sucking people into its core. Buttercup has set the dog outside the CTN building (another reference to Cartoon Network)]Buttercup: Now, stay![Cha-Ching Cha-Ching stands across the way, and with a reverberating crash, the shockwaves shatter CTN's windows. Buttercup looks back again as the falling glass heads for the canine]Buttercup: Doggone it! [She swoops to save the dog yet again. Blossom and Bubbles now have a large group of people on their backs. Buttercup blows a raspberry behind her as she falls into the clutches of the Go Go Po-Trol, losing her grip and sending the dog into freefall. She yells and dives down to save the dog a fourth time, but he falls into the iron clutches of Rocko Socko. This is too much for Buttercup. She gives her gripping banshee yell, and flies headfirst towards the monster] Blossom: OK, you should be safe here. Ohh, this is hopeless! Bubbles: I know! There's too many monkeys! What can we do? [The duo hear Buttercup's yell and glance at her direction. She's struggling to pry Rocko's iron hands open in order to free the dog. The angle changes with every word] Buttercup: Get your hands off him, you darn, dirty ape!!! [Yelling and her hand in a fist, Buttercup punches Rocko in the face, causing him to fly back and hit a wall. Bubbles and Blossom arrive and gasp. Buttercup covers her mouth in embarrassment] Buttercup: [stuttering] I didn't mean it! It was an accident! He wouldn't let go, and then the dog! That stupid dog! And then the monkeys! Oh, man! [The dog breaks free of the metal hands. He takes a whiz on them and walks off. Blossom, thinking this over, suddenly gets an idea in her head] Blossom: Buttercup! Buttercup: I, I, I... Blossom: You're a GENIUS! [Buttercup's eyes widen in surprise] Buttercup: I am? Bubbles: She is? Blossom: Yeah! The one way to stop the monkeys, save the town, and find the Professor is to use our powers to... [They focus in on the townspeople screaming. The Orango-tank is about to crush a large group of people.] Blossom: Better yet. Watch! [Blossom zooms in on the mechanical beast, striking an exploding blow to its head, knocking it over. She assumes a forward victory pose in front of the flame of the exploding machine. Ojo presumably perishes with his Orango-tank, much to Bubbles and Buttercup's amazement] Buttercup: Wow! Bubbles: That was amaz--! Hey! [A torrent of spit begins to rain on the girls. Above them, the Doot Da Doot Da Doo Doos are creating quite a downpour] Bubbles: Eww, gross! Cut it out! [She lashes out with her laser eyes, striking one monkey, sending it off spiraling like a deflating balloon, striking another monkey in a large explosion. The girls strike battle-ready poses as the spitting monkeys fall all around them. The explosion has wiped out the entire group, leaving all of them battered, bruised, and beaten] Blossom: Come on, girls, let's put an end to this gorilla warfare! [They fly off. Cha-Ching Cha-Ching bangs his cymbals together. The girls each get a good hit on him] Blossom: Haha! Good one, Bubbles! [Cha-Ching Cha-Ching falls down in front of Mojo, who is clutching the Professor by the neck. Mojo Jojo is shocked to find him battered and beaten, but quickly regains his fury once he realizes who's responsible] Professor: Girls! Mojo Jojo: [covers his mouth] Shut up! I was afraid of this. They've returned and found out what our powers can really do! Come! You will make a good Powerproof vest! [Mojo walks away with the Professor. Elsewhere, as the wave of water hits another streetway, the girls quickly pound a hold in front of its path, sucking all the water, Hotta Wata included, with a look of shock on his face, down to Townsville's sewer ways like a giant toilet. The butt bomb baboon machine juts forward, but Bubbles and Blossom pin it down by the hands. As Baboon Kaboom aims the butt cannon at the girls, Buttercup clenches the barrel shut, causing an overload. On his operating screen, the machine reads "B.M. Blowout", and Baboon silently screams in horror before the machine explodes. Confronting the Go-Go Patrol , Buttercup grabs the end monkey by the hand, and like a giant rubber band, Blossom stretches the other end and lets go, sending the chain spiraling into a metal pole on the sidewalk. Bubbles uses the remaining monkeys as a rather large jump rope. Hacha Chacha is pounded into the nearby fruit stand by Bubbles, while Blossom sends him spinning down his own slippery path of destruction. Blah-Blah Blah-Blah looks to his right to find Blossom, who snatches away his mixing rods, collapsing his tornado, as Blossom sends him flying into a ketchup-covered wall. Buttercup kicks Rolo Ovo like a soccer ball, sending him careening into the air off into the distance. Blossom grabs the drill machine by the bit, sending Killa Drilla's hald of the machine spinning uncontrollably. Cruncha Muncha is sent into the waiting arms of Bubbles, who lovingly shakes him until he passes out. The punches and kicks reach a fervent pace, until one final shot of the three girls laying a massive uppercut erupts into pain stars, sending the entire group of monkeys raining down to the ground] Buttercup: None of those stupid monkeys had the Professor! Bubbles: Where could he be? Blossom: Take a good guess. [She points to the volcano top observatory, where Mojo Jojo is dragging the Professor deep into his lab. 6 sets of imposing doors close in rapid succession behind him to seal off his hideout] Blossom: Come on, girls, we've got one last monkey to get off our backs! [They zoom forwards, easily crashing through Mojo Jojo's defenses and standing at the ready in front of their nemesis, who has the Professor in a headlock] Girls: Not so fast, Mojo Jojo! Mojo Jojo: [mockingly] Oohh, look at the widdle hewoes, here to save their daddy! Professor: [straining] No, girls, save yourselves! Bubbles: Sorry, Professor! Buttercup: We can take this chump-chimp down easily! Blossom: There's nothing he can do to stop us! [Mojo Jojo twists the Professor's neck further, causing a nasty grinding noise, and making the Professor yelp out in pain. The girls gasp and stop. Hatred is written all over their eyes. Mojo Jojo had proven Blossom's taunt wrong as he has every intention to snap the Professor's neck and kill him if the Girls try to attack him while the Professor is still his hostage] Mojo Jojo: That's better. It's good you little freaks know when you're beaten. Now if you'll excuse me, I, Mojo Jojo, have a town to take over. I have a world to rule! I have to seize control of an area, and force its inhabitants to follow my way of thinking! [He presses a button on his control panel, and the glass globes begin to spin again. Another vat of Chemical X spews from the machine and drains into the spheres as before. He punches a set of keys] Mojo Jojo: Even if it means... [Pause for effect. He plunges the needle into his own brains] Mojo Jojo: TAKING EXTREME MEASURES!!! Girls: :[gasp] You wouldn't! Mojo Jojo: I would! [He jams a lever, and all the containers of Chemical X pour directly into his brain. He lets out a primal cry, as his features bulge out in exaggerated proportions and he grows exponentially, sending him crashing through the roof of the observatory. He loses his grip on the screaming Professor, sending him falling downwards amidst the debris] Bubbles: Professor! [As Blossom catches him, the debris collapses on top of them and the Professor. Mojo Jojo is now a giant] Mojo Jojo: NOW I'M MORE MOJO THAN BEFORE! [He leaps to the ground amidst the flames of the city, fully half as tall as the tallest skyscrapers, and walks down its shattered streets and burning buildings. He stops in front of Town Hall, addressing the peons on the grounds below with a slow and commanding voice] Mojo Jojo: Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I, Mojo Jojo, have succeeded in my first, greatest, and most brilliant plan ever! And I, Mojo Jojo, SHALL BE KING!!! [He lifts his arms high in triumph] [The girls fly back to Town Hall, and give Mojo Jojo a good smack in the jaw just as he was about to eat an innocent civilian or two, catching him by complete surprise] Blossom: Surrender now, and we'll go easy on you! [Mojo Jojo takes this in, rubbing his jaw, looking for the source of the interruption] Blossom: Down here! Mojo Jojo: Oh, my! You're actually trying to stop me? That's so cute! Bubbles: Try nothing! Blossom: We will stop you! Buttercup: Who are you calling "cute"?! Mojo Jojo: [laughs mockingly] OK, let's play! [He lands a punch to the spot where the girls were, but they zoom away and land a few hits to his face. He tries to catch them, but they are too small and fast for his large bulky frame. Buttercup even runs between his ears, making a large bell sound, then smacks him into the butt, sending him into the air. As she laughs, Mojo Jojo simply alights himself and smashes her into the ground with his foot. The other two girls stop] Blossom: Buttercup! [Mojo Jojo takes advantage of their hesitation to smack them into a rooftop. Buttercup emerges from Mojo Jojo's foot, angry as can be. She punches in and breaks all of the toes on his left foot. In the meantime, the other two girls emerge, and in a spiral formation, smack into Mojo Jojo's midsection, sending him hurtling back doubled over. As he strikes a tall building, it collapses on him, his arms and legs sticking out] Blossom: Good job, girls! Buttercup: [Japanese accent] Hah, that more Mojo is no more! [They laugh. Mojo Jojo alights himself, and leaping forward he grabs hold of Buttercup and Blossom in opposing hands] Bubbles: GIRLS!!! [The two girls scream out in pain as Mojo Jojo squeezes, glancing between the two. Bubbles rushes forward, and (in Star Wars A-wing style and sound) shoots rapid-fire laser beams at Mojo Jojo, causing him to cry out in pain and releasing her two sisters. The girls resume their cat-and-mouse game amidst Mojo Jojo, and once again unable to catch them, Mojo Jojo lets out a primal yell and claps his hands together loudly. The resulting shockwave blasts the girls spiraling backward. They do a few backflips on a city street and reorient themselves] Buttercup: Somebody's mad. [Mojo Jojo springs forward, unleashing a barrage of black pointed thorns at the girls] Blossom: Look out! [They narrowly avoid a set of spikes. Mojo Jojo targets Blossom as she runs as fast as she can from the onslaught, just staying in front of the line of fire. But the same dog is in her way now, and she feels obligated to protect it. Failing her arms in rapid fire, she deflects all of the thorns from herself and her hapless canine companion, yelling out in fury. Bubbles and Buttercup are hiding nearby under the refuge of an empty bus] Bubbles: Oh, no, look! Mojo's got Blossom pinned down! Buttercup: I have an idea, come on! [Buttercup and Bubbles lay the bus vertically in front of Blossom. Blossom stops yelling. The bus absorbs all of the thorny blows. After a few moments, the assault stops. The dog simply walks off. Buttercup dodges the last few spikes, ending up on the ground with her sisters. There is silence for a moment: Buttercup and Blossom cautiously look up, while Bubbles opens her eyes after keeping them shut in order to protect herself from the spikes] Bubbles: Do you think he's finished? Mojo Jojo: [as he's risen up behind the bus] No, but you are! [He breathes fire on them. A following shot shows the girls, hands together, screaming in pain as the fiery flames scorch them badly. As the attack stops, the girls are still alive, but unconscious. Mojo Jojo grabs the scorched and weakened girls in his hand] Mojo Jojo: Fools! You dare to challenge ME?! Attempt to defeat ME?! Try to destroy ME?! [climbs a building while gripping the girls in a King Kong like manner] I who saved you from certain death?! After all I've done for you, YOU BETRAY ME?! AND WHY?! [rips open the building's side, revealing a group of scared citizens] For them? The ones who hated you? Have forsaken you? [as he keeps climbing and reaches the spire at the top. The girls’ eyes are shut tight.] Can't you see? None of them will ever understand you as I can. For we are kindred spirits whose powers spring from the same source. So girls, do not make me destroy you! For we are smarter! We are stronger! We are invincible! We have the power! WE ARE SUPERIOR TO THEM! AND WE SHALL RULE!!! All we have to do is work together. Girls... join me. [Long pause as the girls shake furiously in Mojo Jojo's fist before breaking themselves free] Girls: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! [They proceed to beat him up] Blossom: We'd never join you! And it’s because we are stronger! Bubbles: Because we are invincible! Buttercup: Because we have the power! Girls: WE HAVE TO PROTECT THEM FROM YOU! Blossom: It’s YOU who is to be feared! Bubbles: Cause you ARE a monster! Buttercup: You ARE evil! Girls: AND YOU!...ARE!... [tap him on the side] ...it! [This small tap knocks Mojo Jojo off balance, and flailing with one arm, the tower he is grasping with the other breaks apart, sending the super-sized simian falling towards the ground, similar to the ending of King Kong] Mojo Jojo: [last words; screaming] CURRRRRSEEEESSSSSSS...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Professor: [rapid-fire talking] Girls! Girls, where are you?! You were right! We should try and stop Mojo, and I know how! I whipped up an antidote to Chemical X! It will do away with his powers! Girls! Girls! Gir-- [The Professor looks upward at Mojo Jojo plummeting toward him] Girls: [alarmed] PROFESSOR! [The girls save the professor as Mojo Jojo falls on the Antidote X, shrinking him back to normal as he moans in pain] Professor: [hugging the girls] Oh, girls! I’m so sorry for doubting you. You are good! Good, perfect little girls, and I love you! Girls: We love you, too! Blossom: And we’re really sorry. Buttercup: We messed up really bad. Bubbles: But we’re ready, Professor. Professor: "Ready"? Blossom: To take the Antidote X to get rid of our powers. Bubbles: If it wasn’t for them, none of this would have happened. Buttercup: Besides, maybe everyone would like us more if we were just normal little girls. Townspeople: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Girls: Huh? Mayor: Umm, well… uhh… don’t do that, ‘cause… that was pretty cool, with the… uhh… Ms. Bellum: Girls, I think what the Mayor is trying to say is, we’re sorry and thank you. Ms. Keane: Yes, that was super! Just super! Man 1: Amazing! Baby lady: Fantastic! Man 2: Wonderful! Jamaican Lady: Stupendous! Jay and Bob look-alikes: You rock! Talking Dog: Thank you. Mayor: Oh, yeah! That was awesome! You were all flying, and running, and then... [imitating laser blasts] laser eyes! Then, grr! Bam! And then... [laser blasts] and then BAM! You punched that guy! Ehh, remember? Yeah, that was great. Ya know, this town stinks. And I was wondering if maybe sometime we could like call you.. to save the day or whatever. Girls: [gasping] Can we, Professor?! Professor: Well, I don’t know. Hmm... okay! But only if it’s before your bedtime. [The girls fly into the air cheering as the townsfolk applaud] Girls: YAYYYYYYY!!!!!! [The crowd cheers and whistles] [Fade in to the sun in a clear blue sky—a day some time after these events—and tilt down to the exterior of Malph’s, which has been fixed up. An old woman pushes a shopping cart across the parking lot, but is stopped by Ace’s hand seizing its front. His four buddies are with him. Cut to the Mayor at his desk, with Ms. Bellum standing nearby; he is signing a document] Old woman: [from outside, distant] Help! [he looks to his assistant, who points out across the room. Pull back to show, at a distance in that direction, the familiar happy-face hotline on a stand. Cut to the Pokey Oaks Kindergarten classroom, which has been entirely repaired and is once again a happy place for the girls and their classmates. Pan quickly to the front of the room, where an identical phone sits on a stand and starts to buzz. The girls look toward it, ready for action, and everyone falls silent. Back to the parking lot of Malph’s. Billy is eating the old woman’s food, Ace and Snake are having a tug-of-war over her purse, and Arturo and Grubber are menacing her. Empty snack and pizza boxes lie near the overturned cart. The sound of something drifting in causes all five hoodlums to look up, scared; cut to their perspective—the girls are on the scene and smiling wickedly down at them. A tense silence ensues and is broken by three quick shots of the Gang getting what they have coming to them. Blossom punches out Ace, Bubbles split-kicks Snake and Grubber, and Buttercup hurls Arturo into Billy, sending both flying. Cut to a jail cell in which the unconscious Gang has been dumped in a heap; they share it with Fuzzy and Mojo Jojo, the latter now clad only in a pair of underwear. The door slides shut on the group. Note: The old “Kilroy was here” drawing can be seen on the wall next to Mojo Jojo. Overhead view of the jail, with two cops waving. Tilt up to follow the girls as they fly away, waving back. The narrator returns for the closing dialogue] Narrator: Sugar, spice, and everything nice! These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X! Thus, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were born! Using their ultra-super powers, they've dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil! [The girls plow into the Professor and laugh; cuts to the end shot] Narrator: [last lines] And so, for the very first time, the day was saved! Thanks to... [the girls appear as he gives them their name] ...The Powerpuff Girls! Hey, that's a good name for them! Powerpuff Girls! Yeah! I like that! Wonder if they will? I'll run it by them. Powerpuff Girls!
