And so, dubbed with the appropriate 'B' name . . .
Cheep cheep, cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep . . .

Shh! . . . I hereby dub thee . . .
. . . cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep . . .
. . . Powerpuff Bullet!
. . . Cheep cheep --- Cheep cheep!
Woo hoo, yeah! [hoots] Ha ha ha, yeah! [hoots]
Please! No more! Don't hurt me! I don't understand. [demonic] I was so close! [effeminate] I almost had you. You are supposed to be afraid!
Guess you should've done your homework, weirdo.
We're sisters and we love each other!
And we're not afraid of anything as long as we have each other.
ButtercupGimme a break, you two! Yab-yab-yab! Can I toss this guy, already?
[Pause]
Oh, okay.
No, wait! It's cool! It's cool! Everything's cool! [Buttercup punches Him into a black hole] NO!
And with the first poke of the pin, the girls quickly got the point.
[jabs the doll in its rear; in midair, and clutches that part of herself] Yow!
[The Buttercup doll gets the same treatment; the genuine article matches Blossom's response]
ButtercupYowch!
[Now the same things happen to the Bubbles doll and Bubbles herself]
[singed] Oh! In my tailbone!
Yes?
[sniffling] Townsville Quality Discount Catering.
Oh, yes. Come in.
[Blossom and Buttercup are wearing party dresses that look very much like their everyday clothing]
Wow! What's all this?
It's what we're gonna be serving at tonight's party, girls.
Totally, and on the menu we got, like, non-alcoholic sparkling chilled apple juice, black-eyed peas, baked ham, fried calamari, bacon-bit salad, and for dessert my very own creation: banana cream pie. [gives a double thumbs-up] It's wicked awesome, bro. [laughs; pulls back, holds up a clipboard] Please sign here.
[signs his name] Thank you very much. [as the caterer leaves] Oh boy, oh boy, oh, boy! I sure do love parties. Don't you, girls?
Buttercup[indignant] No! 'Cause I have to wear this stupid girly party dress and I look like a dork!
Oh, honey, you both look adora... [noticed Bubbles isn't here] Hey, where's Bubbles?
Buttercup[very snarky] She's probably upstairs combing her hair, so she'll be the [as in high pitch] "prettiest girl at the party!"
[angrily] NOW, NO ONE LEAVES!!! [everyone stares dumbfounded at her] UNTIL THE PERSON WHO TOOK OCTI FESSES UP!!! [puts a hand on the light switch] When I count to 5, I'm going to turn off these lights. And when I turn them back on, I WANT MY OCTI BACK!!!
Bubbles, what are you talking about?
QUIET!!! 1, 2, [Her perspective, panning across the group] 3, 4, [Long shot of her] 5! [flips the switch, and the view snaps to black. She's confused. The phone rings; she picks it up] Hello?
[over phone] I have your Octi doll. And if you ever want to see him alive again, you'll meet my demands! [Bubbles screams] I want 1,000 gallons of Chemical X, or your precious little Octi... dies.
[panicked] What? What do they want?
He has Octi! [everyone gasps] He wants 1,000 gallons of Chemical X! [a second round of gasps] Or he'll kill him! [a third round of gasps] Please, Professor! Please do what he says!
[softly] No.
[A fourth round of gasps]
But why?
Because...I killed Octi!
[A fifth round of gasps]
But why? I can understand Buttercup, because she's so mean...
Buttercup[angry] Hey!
...and Blossom, because she's so bossy.
[angry] Hey!
And Ms. Keane, because she wants me to pay attention.
[offended] Hey! [remembers] Oh, no, that's right.
And the Mayor because he's a big baby!
I am not a baby! [blows a raspberry]
[hanging her head] But you. I never thought you would do anything to hurt me. Why didn't you tell me?
[To Princess] Duh! You're naughty!
[Gasps] Nuh-uh!
Yeah-huh!
Nuh-uh!
ButtercupYeah-huh!
NUH-UH!!
YEAH-HUH!
Prove it!
You bought the city and legalized crime!
ButtercupYou hired Mojo to try and destroy us!
You gave us a BOMB for our birthday!
ButtercupYou teamed up with 3 felons and went on a crime spree!
You tricked our friend Robin into stealing! And then then you TATTLED on her!
You're a spoiled brat who's greedy and jealous! And you don't care who you step on to get what you want!
And your point is?
[The Girls sit back down and sigh in frustration; then the bell rings]
The point, Princess, is that you better behave yourself or all you're ever gonna get for Christmas is a big, fat lump of coal in your stocking!
[Princess starts shaking angrily]
[To Santa Claus in his workshop] Maybe you didn't check the list twice!
ButtercupYeah! Princess is the naughtiest kid ever!
She must've snuck up here and switched the lists!
NUH-UH!! Santa, don't listen to them! [Points at the Powerpuff Girls] They're just jealous 'cause they got coal!
[The Girls stare at her angrily]
They're jealous 'cause I'm nicer, I'm smarter, I'm prettier, and I'm better than them! So they wouldn't let me be a Powerpuff Girl! THAT MAKES THEM NAUGHTY!! [Points at the Girls]
You mean the Powerpuff Girls? Not the same Powerpuff Girls who are always helping people and saving the day and being really good! I mean, REALLY good!
[The Girls smile and nod]
Yeah! Yeah! See that explains all the flying and floating and stuff!
AHEM!! [Santa turns around] BUT I SHOULD BE A POWERPUFF GIRL!!! ME! Not them! Me! MY DADDY SAYS I'M BETTER! MY DADDY SAYS I'M THE BEST! AND IF YOU'RE TOO MUCH OF A FATHEAD FATHEAD TO SEE THAT, I'LL TELL MY DADDY! [Flies into another room] AND HE'LL COME AND BUILD A PARKING LOT OUTTA THIS CHEAP.. LITTLE.. [Kicks 2 toys] ARTS AND CRAFTS... [Throws another toy] POPSICLE STAND OF YOURS!! [Breaks another toy] GET IT?! [Flies up to Santa] SO, YOU BETTER GIVE ME WHATEVER I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, 'CAUSE MY DADDY SAYS I GET WHATEVER I WANT! WHENEVER I WANT IT! AND IF THAT MEANS ALL OF THOSE LOUSY, WORTHLESS, SECOND RATE BARGAIN BASEMENT BRATS OF THE WORLD DON'T GET ANYTHING FOR CHRISTMAS, THEN THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT'S GONNA HAVE TO ME!! 'CAUSE I AM BETTER THAN THEM!! AND IT SAYS SO RIGHT HERE!! [Grabs a note and puts it up to Santa's face] SO PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, SANTA CLOD!!!
[There is total silence for a few seconds; suddenly, Santa gets angry]
LIST SCHMIST!!! I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' LIST TELLIN' ME WHO'S NAUGHTY AND WHO'S NICE!! [Grabs the note and starts tearing it up] YA KNOW WHY?! 'CAUSE I'M SANTA CLAUS!! CHECK IT! PRINCESS... [Grabs Princess by the ear] YOU HAVE GONE AND WORKED OFF MY LAST NERVE!
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! [Starts rubbing her ear]
I have no other choice. You are so rotten, SO despicable, so naughty, I'm putting you on the... [Points up at a really big and tall list] PERMANENT NAUGHTY PLAQUE!!! BUM BUM BUMMMMMMMM!
[Princess gasps and Santa puts her name on the list; Princess screams in terror]
YOU CAN'T DO THAT! I'M TELLING MY DADDY!!!
[Princess flies out the window; Santa presses his nose and Princess loses her costume and powers and screams and falls into snow]
NO FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!!!
[Princess flies in front of Buttercup, who is shocked; Princess then slaps her]
ButtercupOw! Quit it!
[Princess slaps her again]
ButtercupOw! Quit it!
[Princess slaps her once again]
ButtercupOw! Quit it!
[An annoyed Buttercup jumps on Princess' back and kicks her far away from herself]
ButtercupQUIT IIIIIIIIIT!!!!!
Thanks, Einstein!
[Buttercup stares at Princess, but then Blossom and Bubbles grab her]
Good job, Buttercup.
Yeah. Nice one.
ButtercupOh, shut up!
Buttercup[To Bubbles] I'm busy.
Doing what?
ButtercupWriting my wish list for Santa.
Are you crazy?! You're only giving him 2 days to prepare?! And that's even if he gets it on time!
ButtercupOh, yeah? When did you send yours, Smarty Pants?
December 26.
ButtercupHa! That's after Christmas!
December 26, last year!
[She blows Buttercup a raspberry]
You know what I think? I think that you don’t have another appointment!
[laughing nervously] You're right. You got me. No appointment. It's the train. I have to catch the two-thirty train. [starts to back away from the door]
Buttercup[from the fireplace] There is no Townsville two-thirty train.
[makes a beeline for the sliding doors] Yeah, well, I really should be going anyway.
[An eye laser beam hits the doors' middle edge, sealing off his escape]
But, Mr. Burglar, you just got here.
[The burglar runs into a dark room]
Those girls are mutants! I don’t have a chance against them! Superpower strength...telekinetic levitation...laser beam eyeballs! Ah, here we go. [pulled on the arm of Buttercup hanging from the ceiling, with red light emanating from her eyes like a lamp]
ButtercupClick.
I sure picked the wrong house to rob!
ButtercupYou sure did.
[Realizing she isn't a lamp, he screams and races into the kitchen]
Mr. Burglar Man! We're not going to tell you again!
[from offscreen, to "Deck the Halls"] Christmas time is in a few days, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la! [taping up the sleigh picture] Santa'll give me lots of toys, yay, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Buttercup[writing a wish list] Bubbles! I'm trying to concentrate!
I'm only trying to spread some Christmas cheer.
ButtercupWell, can it! I'm busy.
[places a gingerbread house centerpiece she made on the table] Doing what?
ButtercupWriting my wish list for Santa.
Are you crazy?! You're only giving him two days to prepare - and that's even if he gets it on time!
ButtercupOh, yeah? When did you send yours, smarty-pants?
December 26.
ButtercupHah, that's after Christmas.
December 26, last year. [blows a raspberry]
Buttercup[realizing] Oh, no! What if I don't get my official Red Raider carbine-action two-hundred-shot range-model air rifle?!
[offscreen] Hah! Who would want a stupid old BB gun?
[gasp] Princess!
Besides, you'll shoot your eye out. Since my daddy buys me anything I want, I only have one thing on my list for Santa: to be a Powerpuff Girl!
Don't hold your breath, Princess.
What?! Why?!
Because Santa has his own list, and he checks it twice. It says who's naughty and who's nice.
So?
Duh! You're naughty.
[gasps] Nuh-uh!
Yeah-huh.
Nuh-uh!
ButtercupYeah-huh.
Nuh-uh!
Yeah-huh!
Prove it!
You bought the city and legalized crime!
ButtercupYou hired Mojo to try and destroy us!
You gave us a bomb for our birthday!
ButtercupYou teamed up with three villains and went on a crime spree!
You tricked our friend Robin into stealing, and then you tattled on her!
You're a spoiled brat who's greedy and jealous, and you don't care who you step on to get what you want!
And your point is?
[annoyed] Ugh. [sit down]
[The school bell rings]
The point, Princess, is that you better change your ways, or all you're ever gonna to get from Santa is a big fat lump of coal in your stocking. [walks off with her sisters]
[Princess is very mad, and kicks the Santa toy]
Then, at last, they were done. Whew! Just before dawn. So, they sped back to Townsville; to home with a yawn. [weaving back and forth due to fatigue, they fly in through the bedroom windows. Cut to a pan across the room; they float in, yawning and rubbing their eyes, and head straight for bed] They entered their room, for the wear no less worn, [Buttercup pulls up the blanket, and all three are instantly asleep] And snuggled into bed to await Christmas morn.
[Cut to a point near the ceiling. The Professor bounces into view, accompanied by the creaking of bedsprings]
[excitedly, on separate bounces] Girls! Wake up! Wake up! [jumping on their bed, annoying them] It's Christmas! It's Christmas! [stops jumping and bends down, laughing] He came! Santa came! Come on, come on! Let's go open the presents, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go! I think somebody might have gotten that new atom splitter they've been eyeing! [moans eagerly, clasps his hands together and chews his lip in anticipation. Next he starts jumping on the bed again] Come on, come on, come on, come on! [giggles]
[with her eyes shut] Professor, it's too early!
[with her eyes shut] We'll open presents later.
Buttercup[with her eyes shut] Go back to bed!
[They lie down again; he sits at the corner of the bed, his head hanging, then shuffles disappointedly out of the room and pulls the door shut. The girls sleep peacefully for a moment]
[waking up] Wait a minute.
[waking up] What are we saying?
Buttercup[waking up] Who cares if we're tired?
It's Christmas! [cut to the balcony. The Professor clumps along toward his own room and stops when he gets halfway there. Without warning, the girls streak past, jolting him out of his deep blue funk] Presents!
[He breaks into a huge smile and runs toward the stairs. Cut to just outside the lighted living room window; happy chatter is heard from inside, mixed with the sound of wrapping paper being torn off boxes. Pull back slowly to frame the entire house, with all its windows now illuminated, and stop on Santa at the curb. Fully suited up, he looks toward the family and then tips a wink to the camera. A touch of his nose, and the background for the end shot comes up in a flash]
[last lines] Now, all the nice kids of the world won't get stiffed. They'll look on with pure joy at every wrapped gift. So paper's torn open and ribbon unfurls, 'cause Christmas was saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!
[The Rowdyruff Boys have been resurrected (complete with meaner-looking hairstyles)]
The Rowdyruff Boys?!
ButtercupBut that's impossible!
We blew you guys up!
[Smirking] Yeah? Well, you can't stop a good thing, babe!
[The Girls suddenly start to snicker]
Stop laughing! What are you laughing at?!
[Mocking; her hands are on her hips] Ooooh(!) Look who's back with mean hair(!)
[Mocking] Oh, whatever shall we do?
Buttercup[Mocking] How can we defeat their scary new hairdos?
[Boomer naively inspects his hair, while Butch twitches, eager to fight. The Girls continue to laugh, and Brick gets more and more irritated until he finally snaps.]
SILEEEEEEEEEEENCE!!!!! [the Girls stop] You stupid, wimpy, lame-o girls talk too much!
"STUPID"?!
Buttercup"WIMPY"?!
"LAME-O"?!
You girls just got lucky last time. This time, there's no way you're gonna beat my boys!
Butch!
Boomer!
And me, Brick!
[Boomer sees a fly buzzing over his head, and playfully swats at it]
[annoyed] Pay attention!
[giggling] Are you guys sure you're ready for another beating?
[trying to sound tough] You girls are gonna eat your words, spit 'em out, and eat 'em again!
... That doesn't even make sense.
I know you are, but what am I?!
ButtercupEnough! Talk is cheap! Let's do this!
[snickers dementedly] This is gonna be fun!
