ACT II
FADE IN:
INT. IDEA WAREHOUSE—THINK TANK—DAY
The Movers and Nina lay on the furniture, worn out from all of the interviews.
DAVE
That was pretty intense!
RICH
You can say that again!
SCOTT
I guess we're more popular than we knew.
Everybody nods.
NINA
Everybody wants to be a Mover.
(pointedly)
And I mean everybody.
RICH
Alright! So, are we decided?
DAVE
Yep.
SCOTT
Uh huh.
SMITTY
You know it.
RICH
Okay then. Our newest Mover is going to be the—
RICH/DAVE/SCOTT/SMITTY
Cowboy!/Mechanic!/Clown!/Farmer!
The Movers look to each other, confused. As they talk over one another, Nina and Warehouse Mouse look on, just as confused.
DAVE
The mechanic could help me with my inventions.
SMITTY
The farmer could help me grow more food.
SCOTT
But the clown made me a burro shaped balloon!
Scott lovingly produces said balloon animal.
RICH
But a cowboy is just cool!
NINA
(to the group)
It seems like you all want different people for different reasons.
DAVE
Okay, let's go over this scientifically.
SMITTY
I like science.
DAVE
We want someone who reaches high, who tries new things, and does the best that they can.
RICH
They also need to think big. You can't do big things unless you're willing to do big things!
SMITTY
Not to mention hard work. Nothing ever gets done until you actually do it.
SCOTT
And don't forget having fun! All work and no play makes for a dull way to go about life.
RICH
So, who fits that bill? Who have we seen that has all those qualities?
As the guys have been talking, Warehouse Mouse has been trying to get their attention, being increasingly frustrated as he is ignored. As for Nina, she has become more and more taunt, as though she desperately wants to say something, but can't bring herself to do so.
WAREHOUSE MOUSE
(frustrated)
(to Movers)
Nina! Nina! Nina!
SMITTY
What's that, little buddy?
SCOTT
What about Nina?
WAREHOUSE MOUSE
Nina should be the new Mover!
SMITTY
Nina?
RICH
Nina?
SCOTT
Nina?
DAVE
Nina?
RICH/SMITTY/DAVE/SCOTT
(realization dawning)
Nina!
NINA
Me?
RICH
Of course!
DAVE
It makes perfect sense! Nina is always helping us.

MUSICAL MONTAGE set to the song "Nina's Song". It's a retrospective of just how much Nina has meant to the Movers, and how she has pretty much been an unofficial member of the team the entire time.
End of Montage
CUT TO:
INT. IDEA WAREHOUSE—THINK TANK—DAY
The Movers rush over to Nina.
RICH
(excitedly)
It's agreed. Nina, we want you to join us as the newest Mover!
DAVE
Yeah! You're always helping us out!
SMITTY
And we don't know what we would do without you.
SCOTT
Say you'll do it, Nina. Pretty please!
WAREHOUSE MOUSE
Yeah!
NINA
(overwrought)
I always wanted… I mean, I always hoped…
RICH
So, you'll do it?
NINA
Yes! Of course I'll do it!
The Movers celebrate their good fortune until Dave remembers something.
DAVE
(to Nina)
Wait. If you work here, who'll run your café?
NINA
Don't worry. I'll hire someone to manage it for me.
Satisfied, the Movers celebrate some more.
SMITTY
Since you're an official Mover now, Nina, you need your own uniform.
NINA
Way ahead of you.
Nina disappears quickly, only to return just as quickly. Only, now she is wearing a Mover uniform. But whereas the other Movers' uniforms are blue with red highlights, her uniform is pink with red highlights, thus keeping to the character's established color scheme.
NINA
(brightly)
I have my own.
RICH
Alrighty then! Welcome aboard, Mover Nina!
Cue team high five, and for one of the few times in the show's history, Dave is successful in his endeavor in participating.
