Walk A Mile In My Boots
OPENING SCENE:
A SHOT OF A HALLWAY IN THE UTONIUM HOME AT NIGHT
[There's a piece from the PROFESSOR'S art collection on the wall.]
BUTTERCUP'S VOICE: Where are you going, Blossom?
BLOSSOM'S VOICE: I have to go have a tinkle.
[A sleepy BLOSSOM floats ON and Off SCREEN.]
NARRATOR: The city of Townsville! It seems even Powerpuff Girls have to answer the call of nature. But maybe something is going on that isn't so natural after all!
[BLOSSOM floats back ON SCREEN. She stops, turns to the CAMERA, and starts to examine herself. The hallway light mysteriously switches on.]
BLOSSOM: Huh?
[She is now wearing a deep red dress, and long black boots like HIM'S. She has HIM-like claws, and her hairbow is taller. She has a feather boa.]
BLOSSOM: God heavens. Girls!
[BUTTERCUP and BUBBLES float ON SCREEN in their night clothes.]
BUTTERCUP: Yeah, what's the problem?
BUBBLES: Blossom, why are you dressed like Him?
BLOSSOM: I don't know...
BUTTERCUP: Cool claws!
BLOSSOM: This isn't funny, Buttercup... It has to be one of Him's evil plots.
BUTTERCUP: Well, let's go beat the tar out of Him and make him switch you back!
BLOSSOM: No, I don't think so, Buttercup. There doesn't seem to be any harm in this. I think we should just wait Him out on this one, until he gets bored and changes me back.
BUTTERCUP: If you say so.
BUBBLES: I wonder what the Professor will say.
CUT TO:
INT DAYTIME SHOT OF THE UTONIUM KITCHEN WITH THE PROFESSOR AND THE PPG
PROFESSOR: Aughhh...!
BLOSSOM: Well, it isn't all that bad, Professor.
[He looks at Blossom for a few seconds, blinking.]
PROFESSOR: Aughhh...!
BLOSSOM: Professor!
PROFESSOR: I'm sorry - it's just that you look so - creepy!
BLOSSOM (in a feminine HIM-like voice): Oh, really...
PROFESSOR (whimpering): Uh-uh-uh...
[The PPG exchange puzzled glances.]
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF MS. KEANE AT HER DESK IN POKEY OAKS
[The PPG are beside her.]
MS. KEANE: Blossom - do you mind if I scream?
BLOSSOM: I'd rather you didn't, Ms. Keane. The Professor alredy did that for you.
MS. KEANE: How nice of him.
BLOSSOM: And besides, it might upset the children.
CUT TO:
A SHOT OF THE CLASS
ALL THE KIDS BUT MITCH: Cool!
MITCH: Aughhh...!
[The other kids turn and look at him.]
CUT TO:
MS. KEANE AND THE PPG
MS. KEANE: Well, I guess you should go to your desks, so we can begin class.
CUT TO:
THE PPG AT THEIR DESKS
MS. KEANE'S VOICE: If I add three and four, what do I get?
[BLOSSOM struggles to use her pencil in her claw.]
DISSOLVE TO:
THE PPG CUTTING CONSTRUCTION PAPER
[BLOSSOM is using her claw.]
DISSOLVE TO:
THE PPG IN THE PLAYGROUND SKIPPING ROPE
[BLOSSOM is using her feather boa.]
CUT TO:
EXT DAYTIME SHOT OF THE PPG FLOATING HOME ALONG A SIDEWALK
BLOSSOM: Well, I think today went well.
BUTTERCUP: Yeah, just three screaming people and one parent saying you should be burned at the stake.
BUBLES: Silly parent. Powerpuffs are fireproof!
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF UTONIUM HOME
[The front door opens and the PPG float in. The PROFESSOR runs up.]
PROFESSOR: Girls! The Hotline rang. The Bank's being robbed!
[The PPG fly out the door.]
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF A BANK BEING ROBBED BY A WOMAN IN A WHITE ROBE WITH ANGEL WINGS
[The PPG fly in.]
BLOSSOM: Give up, evildoer! The Powerpuff Girls are here to stop you!
[The WOMAN turns around.]
PPG: Gasp! Femme Fatale!
FEMME FATALE: That's right, Girls! Like Faust, I made a deal with a demon, and now I have an angel's wings and an angel's powers!
BLOSSOM: We don't care what powers you have! (in an evil voice): We're going to stop you!
[Her sisters look at her in surprise.]
FEMME FATALE: Oh, I don't think so, Girls. You always do what's right, don't you?
PPG: Of course!
FMME FATALE: Well, who's the angel? Who's the devil?
[BLOSSOM grits her teeth in uncertainty. Her sisters stare at her. FEMME FATALE grabs a bag of money off the bank counter and runs out the door.]
CUT TO:
A SERIES OF SHOTS SHOWING FEMME FATALE RUNNING FROM VARIOUS BANKS CARRYING BAGS OF MONEY
[Finally we have a shot of her floating down the SCREEN amid a shower of dollar bills.]
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF THE PPG SITTING ON THE EDGE OF THEIR BED WITH THEIR HEADS IN THEIR HANDS
[The PROFESSOR walks ON SCREEN carrying a newspaper.]
PROFESSOR: Girls, what in heaven's name is the matter with you? This Femme Fatale is robbing Townsville blind!
BLOSSOM: But... she's a angel... and I'm not.
BUTTERCUP: And Blossom's afraid to go outside.
BLOSSOM: If I hear "You ought to be burned at the stake!" one more time (in a sweet high voice): I'm going to explode!
[The PROFESSOR sits down beside the PPG.]
PROFESSOR: Blossom, you're big enough to ignore what people say. Doing the right thing is what counts.
BLOSSOM: And right now I'm the wrong thing.
PROFESSOR: Do you really think some silly boots and a feather boa make you an evil person?
BLOSSOM (evil voice): It's a really evil feather boa.
[She jiggles it and tickles the PROFESSOR'S chin.]
PROFESSOR (whimpering): Uh-uh-uh...
BUTTERCUP: The Professor's right! We're crime fighters and she's a criminal! Let's go kick her butt!
[BLOSSOM looks weakly at her.]
BUTTERCUP: Come on, say it, Blossom - we're gonna kick her butt!
BLOSSOM (sweetly): We're going to kick her butt.
BUTTERCUP: Again!
BLOSSOM: We're going to kick her butt.
BUTTERCUP: Again! With feeling!
BLOSSOM (evil voice): We're going to kick her butt!
BUTTERCUP: Right! Let's do it!
[The PPG fly out the door. A happy tear drops from the PROFESSOR'S eye.]
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF A BANK BEING ROBBED BY FEMME FATALE
[The PPG crash down through the ceiling and land.]
BLOSSOM: The party's over, Femme Fatale. You're a criminal, we're crimefighters, and now you're going to do the time!
FEMME FATALE: You seem to forget that I'm an angel.
BLOSSOM: Only on the surface. In your heart there's an evil that makes me an angel by comparison. Let's get her, Girls.
FEMME FATALE: No! I've got wings. I'm an angel. You're bad. Oof!
[ The ppg thrash her and carry her out the door.]
BANK EMPLOYEES: Hooray!

[The PPG fly in and lay back on the bed.]
BLOSSOM: Another battle successfully completed, Girls!
[HIM appears.]
HIM (e.v.): Nooo...! You brats shouldn't have won!
BLOSSOM: We won, Him. Now switch me back.
HIM (disgutedly, e.v.): Oh, very well.
[BLOSSOM changes back.]
HIM (f.v.): But you have to admit - being me wasn't as easy as you thought, was it?
BLOSSOM: Yes, it had its dark moments. Some time you should spend a day as me!
HIM (horrified, f.v.):That is... so gross...
[HIM vanishes.]
CUT TO:
HEARTS AND STARS
NARRATOR: And so once again the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!
[The PPG appear. BLOSSOM is wearing a feather boa.]
BLOSSOM: You know, this is actually kind of fun.
BUTTERCUP (evil voice): Really?
BUBBLES (sweet voive): Oh my. Maybe we all should get one...
PPG: ha ha ha...
