OPENING SCENE:
EXT DAYTIME SHOT OF TOWNSVILLE SKYLINE
NARRATOR: The city of Townsville! A smart town! A bright town! An enlightened town!
WHIP PAN TO:
INT SHOT OF POKEY OAKS KINDERGARTEN
NARRATOR (quietly): Oops... I'd better be quiet... I see the children are taking a test.
CUT TO:
A CLOSEUP OF THE PPG
SLOWLY ZOOM TO A CLOSEUP OF BLOSSOM
NARRATOR: Ah, that Blossom. Her quiet, intelligent brain is busy working out the answers.
SLOWLY ZOOM TO A CLOSEUP OF BLOSSOM'S FACE
[BLOSSOM'S face disappears and we can see her brain churning away and throbbing.]
NARRATOR: Well, maybe her brain isn't so quiet after all...
[The churning becomes worse, and her brain starts blowing off steam, faster and faster. Her face reappaears. Suddenly she starts staring straight ahead. A quirky one-sided grin appears. She throws her pencil away.]
BLOSSOM (tossing her head back and laughing maniacally): Ha ha ha!
[The CAMERA turns to watch her leap up and fly out the window.]
CUT TO:
A CLOSEUP OF BUBBLES AND BUTTERCUP
BUTTERCUP: Was it something I said?
BUBBLES: I hope it wasn't the stinky cheese sandwich I had for lunch.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT SHOT OF A TOWNSVILLE SUNSET
NARRATOR: And so the day came to an end, and Blossom didn't return... gosh, I hope it wasn't something I said...
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF THE PROFESSOR TUCKING IN BUBBLES AND BUTTERCUP
PROFESSOR: Oh, don't worry, girls. Blossom's tough. She'll come back when she calms down.
BUBBLES: Are you sure, Professor?
PROFESSOR: Yes, I'm sure.
FADE TO BLACK
CUT TO:
INT SHOT OF THE PPG EATING BREAKFAST IN FRONT OF THE TV
TV: We interrupt this program for an important bulletin - (loudly): The town of Citiesville has been conquered! (quietly): although why anyone would conquer it is beyond me (loudly): but, nevertheless, Citiesville has been conquered!
BUBBLES AND BUTTERCUP: Gasp!
CUT TO:
A CLOSEUP OF THE TV
TV: And here is the conqueror!
BUBBLES' AND BUTTERCUP'S VOICES: Blossom?
[BLOSSOM is dressed like Napolean.]
BLOSSOM: People of Citiesville, you have no need to fear. I promise I will be a fair and just ruler. Under my reign, you will know the prosperity you never knew in the past.
PROFESSOR'S VOICE: Girls,... you'd better go to Citiesville, and staighten out your sister.
BUBBLES: Okay, Professor.
BUTTERCUP: Blossom as Napolean. What's next - the Mayor as Tiny Tim singing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips"?
PROFESSORE AND PPG: Ugh...!
MAN'S VOICE ON TV: Powerpuff Girls - save us!
BLOSSOM (crossly): Quiet, you!
[She blows a puff of ice breath at him.]
MAN'S VOICE ON TV: Ahhh... chooo...!
CUT TO A POV THAT STAYS IN FRONT OF THE PPG AS THEY FLY UP THROUGH THE CEILING AND LEAVE TOWNSVILLE
CUT TO:
EXT SHOT OF BLOSSOM IN CITIESVILLE ADDRESSING A CROWD
BLOSSOM: I thought I already explained that I'm a fair and just ruler. There'll be no calling out for the Powerpuff Girls while I'm in command. Is that understood?
PEOPLE: grumble grumble grumble...
ONE MAN'S VOICE: Powerpuff Girls! Please save us!
BLOSSOM (sharply): All right! Who said that? I've got my eye on you!
[BUBBLES and BUTTERCUP land.]
BUTTERCUP: Blossom, what the heck has gotten into you?
[BLOSSOM looks around.]
BLOSSOM: Are you talking to me?
BUTTERCUP: Sheeshhh... Okay, have it your way. What the heck are you doing, Napolean?
BLOSSOM: I am addressing my people.
BUBBLES: Scaring them is more like it.
BLOSSOM (sternly): Don't make me use my ice breath!
BUTTERCUP: Oh, poo. You're our sister. Your head blew a gasket and now you think you're Napolean.
BLOSSOM: Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe... oof!
[BUTTERCUP and BUBBLES fly at her. The three tumble along the ground. BUTTERCUP makes a point of throwing away BLOSSOM'S Napolean hat. BLOSSOM tries to fly after it, but her sisters grab her feet. After a great deal of straining, the two start pulling BLOSSOM upward and back to Townsville.]
BLOSSOM: I shall return!
BUTTERCUP: That's MacArthur.
CUT TO:
EXT DAYTIME SHOT IN FRONT OF THE PPG WALKING TO SCHOOL
[BLOSSOM'S head is bowed in shame.]
BLOSSOM: I made such a fool of myself...
BUBBLES: It wasn't your fault, Blossom. You've just got to learn to take it easy.
CUT TO:
A FIXED POV BEHIND THE PPG THAT WATCHES THEM WALKING AWAY
BLOSSOM: Yes, I really was overdoing it.
BUTTERCUP: If you ask me, it was too much dessert. You'd better let me have yours from now on.
PPG: Ha ha ha.
CUT TO:
HEARTS AND STARS
NARRATOR: And so the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls.
[The PPG appear.]
NARRATOR: You know, maybe I should take it easier too. Narrators are very hard thinkers, you know.
[The PPG stifle some giggles.]
NARRATOR: Why do people always giggle when I say that?
The End
