Act I
"Schoolsanity"
Scene: It's another morning in Metro City and Professor Mustachio is taking the morning attendance of Grade 7.
Mustachio: Kenichi?
Ken: Here Teacher.
Mustachio: Tamao?
Tamao: Here Teacher.
Mustachio: Shibugaki?
Shibugaki: (waves hand) Yo.
Mustachio: Astro?
(Silence)
Mustachio: Astro?
Scene: Astro comes crashing through a window, flies across the room, slams into a wall and falls onto his hands and knees shaking his head.
Astro: HERE!
Scene: Astro rockets out of the room and tangles with the monster from the movie adapted comics. He gets knocked around but finally wrestles control of the monster and catapults him clear of the city and into a whimpering retreat
Astro: (wiping hands) next time you want to visit? Call first!
Scene: Astro returns to the school, flies into the wrecked classroom and casually sits down, much to the dismay of his teacher. Mustachio's eyes bug out when an overhead light fixture crashes down in front of his desk.
Astro: I know…go see the Principle.
Act II
The Cuteness
Scene: Astro rides with Doctor Elifun through the city after leaving school. He's looking out the car window with a slight look of frustration.
Astro: This "hero" thing's a lot tougher than I thought. I tackled this huge monster and I get suspended? Hmph…
Elifun: To say nothing of the repair bill the Ministry of Science is going to get. Of all the things you'll learn about humans my boy is that we're amazingly fickle minded.
Astro: Maybe next time I should offer to buy it pizza? Where's my Dad?
Elifun: As always, Doctor Tenma has a lot of work on his schedule. Besides, we had a long talk and he asked me to be your mentor.
Astro: Just another excuse.
Elifun: Now Astro. Your father…has never been an expert in the fathering business. But he knows who to trust when it comes to your education about how to live with humans.
Scene: Astro suddenly sees Cora walking out of a store.
Astro: Doctor, stop the car?
Elifun: Uh…we're on the thoroughfare Astro, I really can't…
Scene: Astro opens the window and jumps out.
Elifun: NO! Astro!
Scene: Chaos ensues as Astro, focused only on Cora, plays a wild game of flying dodgeball with passing vehicles only to end up landing in a trash pail attached to a light pole.
Astro: Uh….hi?
Scene: Cora smiles and shakes her head
Cora: Your entrance needs a little work.
Scene: Astro climbs out and walks beside Cora. His arms are behind his back and he walks giddishly.
Astro: Did you get my message?
Cora: The card was very nice.
Scene: Astro stops in front of her.
Astro: Yes or no?
Cora: Yes or no what?
Astro: dinner? (He gives her….the face of total cuteness)
Cora: Astro? You're kinda going a little fast with this…
Astro: (Beating his eyes) Come on! How can you resist the cuteness?
Cora: "Sigh" Ok…ok….dinner. I hope you don't pull this trick on every girl you meet.
Scene: Astro smiles happily and does a little dance, until Doctor Elifun pulls up and yanks him into his car. We see it driving off towards the Ministry of Science as the talking continues.
Elifun: Stop this foolishness and act your age!
Astro: My age? Goo Goo Dah Dah…
"Smack"
Astro: Ow!
Act III
The big stink
Scene: since he lost his robot games, hamegg has been trying to get back at Doctor Tenma and his "son", much to his dismay. He sits with a newspaper blocking his face but we hear noises of frustration coming from behind. He slaps the paper down, walks past grace and Zack (the only two kids still with him from the last movie) and stands steaming like a pressure cooker waiting to blow.
Grace: He wrecked another one huh?
Scene: Hamegg turns with a kill face look and a raised finger but slackens.
Hamegg: No of course not. That was just a trial run…like the other 56 trials before it!
Scene: Hamegg scatters parts off a table
Hamegg: Let's face it! When you have nothing but junk! It stays junk! Tenma's got bucks, I got junk. Tenma's got funding, I got junk. And ever since that little….."
Grace: Creep?
Hamegg: Not exactly the word I wanted but in the presence of children it'll work…Creep showed up, what do I have……"
Grace and Zack: Junk.
Hamegg: Brilliant! Go get me some beer so I can drown my frustrations.
Voice: If all you can do all day is whine, no wonder why you're such a loser.
Scene: Hamegg turns to a shadow in the dark and grabs a wrench.
Hamegg: Who said that!
Voice: Easy oh hot headed egg head. You'll overcook that frustrated brain.
Scene: Skunk walks into the light with his two flunkies. The taller brawny Moose and the shorter Diesel.
Hamegg: How did you get in here? Grace, I thought I told you…
Skunk: Lock pick genius.
Scene: Skunk sits down and lights a cigar.
Skunk: The problem my friend is that you lack a benefactor, you lack finances and…well you're just plain lacking.
Hamegg: Who are you?
Skunk: Skunk, but the name's not as important as our problem. You lost your business, mine's getting cut. We're both in the same sinking boat.
Scene: Hamegg shakes the wrench.
Hamegg: And let me guess…you got the solution. I've heard that before.
Skunk: Finances I got, talent you got. Maybe if we put 2 and 2 together we can get 4?
Scene: Zack interrupts
Zack: What a sucker play. He's pulling your foot Hamegg. It took Tenma years just to develop the plans to build Astro! At best? We're centuries behind even matching that."
Scene: Diesel slaps Zack in the chest.
Diesel: Limited minds don't win kid.
Scene: Skunk stands up and walks with his back to the group, throwing his arms out.
Skunk: You see my friends, there's an old motto in the world of crime. If you can't dream it? Steal it.
Scene: Skunk walks back to Hamegg and drops a bag of money at his feet.
Skunk: Start shopping my friend. And don't spend it on junk food? You're fat enough.
Act IV
Uran?
Scene: Astro and Doctor Elifun walk into a large electronics lab at the Ministry of Science. Astro passes by Uran without even a glance…and why?
Astro: Hi Dad! Can I have an advance on my allowance? I got a date Saturday night with Cora.
Doctor Tenma: Well…Son there's something important…
Astro: Please Dad? I'll work the weekend. What about that arctic expedition you've been talking about?
Scene: Uran's been sneaking up on Astro and at the right moment…she leaps on his back!
Uran: BIG BROTHER!
Astro: AHHHHH!!! AHHHHHHH!
Scene: Astro is shocked, his jets ignite, he goes flying around the room, knocking things over, making a mess then pulls Uran off his back and holds her under the arms pits. She smiles at him and tweeks his nose…
Uran: Hi?
Astro: What the? Who's this Dad?
Doctor Tenma: This is your little sister.
Scene: Astro sets her down and rubs his head.
Astro: Sister?
Doctor Elifun: Well…she was actually my idea Astro. Remember when you told me you wanted to be part of a family? Well for starters it was easier to build you a smaller sibling. Give you a feeling of great responsibility.
Astro: Cool! What's your name Sis?
Uran: Uran.
Astro: Uran Doctor? That's kinda weird. How about Astro Girl or Sally or Cindy?
Scene: Astro suddenly sees that Uran is gone.
Astro: Huh? Where'd she go?
Doctor Elifun: You may find Astro that she's quite a handful.
Scene: Astro runs out of the lab and into the hall way looking nervously for Uran.
Astro: A handful or slightly annoying?
Scene: Uran has found Momo, the robot ostridge, and has it running like crazy when it crashes into Astro! He's holding onto the neck as they fly around the Ministry causing chaos!
Background Song: Rock N Roll by Boby Darren
Astro: Uran! What did you do?!
Uran: I just asked her for a ride! Ahhhh! Maybe I kinda kick her too hard!
Astro: MOMO! STOOOOOP!
Scene: They hit a flight of stairs and Momo's feet turn into tractor tracks! They go flying down the stairs knocking people and things down or over, this in turn causes further chain reaction chaos in the main foyer of the finally ends when Momo comes to a break and throws Astro off! He smashes into a concession cart and gets covered by a can of coffee syrup.
Uran tries to stand innocently as her now steaming brother stomps towards her but just as he's about o deliver a fire spawn sermon…
(Diesel and Moose are disguised as firemen)
Diesel: Hey you little punk!
Scene: Astro turns to see Diesel and Moose disguised as firemen.
Diesel: Did you cause this madness?
Astro: Well…..I…..you see….
Moose: I think we should hall this little brat in.
Diesel: Yeah. You must have broken two dozen safety codes with that stupid stunt. If I were you? I'd leave real quick before I get real angry.
Scene: Astro grabs Uran and they run out the front door
Diesel: He made this easy..
Act V
Theft of the Project Plans
Scene: Diesel and Moose walk up to the front counter.
Diesel: Hey there sweet cheeks, we're here to conduct monthly fire drill test. Hit the button will yah?
Receptionist: I don't have that on my memo sheet.
Moose: We didn't have this disaster on our sheets either honey but orders are orders. Man do we have to write this whole place up for violations? Run-a-way robots, disobedient staff, safety violations, where do I start?
Scene: The receptionist hits the buton.
Diesel: Ok boss…the alarms working.
Scene: As the ministry empties, Skunk sends in some small probes to break into Doctor Tenma's storage vault where they photograph the plans for Astro.
