[Mojo Jojo is forced to tell the Girls a bedtime story]]
Very well, then. I will tell you my favorite story... ABOUT THE GREATEST CONQUEROR WHO EVER LIVED! Napoleon! [He envisions himself as Napoleon] He was a mighty man, feared by all who looked up to him. Using his genius and his loyal army, he conquered all of Europe, then all of Russia, and finally the whole world. The end.
[Sing-song voice] BO-RING! [Mojo's vision is shattered]
Your story's all wrong! Napoleon's 1807 seizure of Portugal and the subsequent Rebellion by the Spaniards cost France over 300,000 casualties, untold sums of money, and contributed to the eventual weakening of the Napoleonic Empire! [Whacks Mojo with her pillow]
And your analysis on the Invasion of Russia is also incorrect! Napoleon's invasion of 1812 resulted in massive casualties of his troops, due to starvation and inclement conditions, and ended in a disastrous retreat from Moscow with his army defeated! [Whacks Mojo with her pillow]
Yeah, dummy! And when he returned to France, the Allied Nations of Europe united against him, which led to his eventual defeat at the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, whereafter he was exiled to the island of St. Helena, where he died a miserable death from stomach cancer on May 5, 1821, stupid! [Whacks Mojo with her pillow]
CMCitysville Mayor
[quietly, sternly] Let me tell you some words. At what point did it seem like a good idea to blow up the Citysville Bridge?
CMCitysville Mayor
No! Do you realize the two crooks that you caught stole approximately 400 dollars? [with intensifying rage] Do you realize that you did over three MILLION DOLLARS IN PROPERTY DAMAGE TO THAT BRIDGE?! IT'S NOT REPLACEABLE! [a scared Blossom blinks up at him, and he sighs as he looks at the destroyed bridge] Also, that bridge is, or was, a historical landmark. [unfurling flag on pole] I mean, it's on our flag, for Pete's sakes! It's also the main thoroughfare into the city! Nobody actually lives in Citysville! [in tears] They commute! [sternly signs a piece of paper] This is a bill prohibiting the use of superpowers in the town of Citysville. You're hereby forbidden by law to use any of your powers within the city limits. [points at the door] Now, get out of my sight!
PPilot
Attention! This is the Citysville Police Department! You are flying in a no-fly zone! Land now!
So, how did it go with the Mayor?
Professor, we tried to tell you before, but you--
We tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen, and we know how much you like it here, and...
[The Professor tears up.]
Oh, girls... [suddenly smiling] You don't know how happy this makes me!
Oh, I've been hating it here so much! Hating, hating, hating, hating it! Oh, they pick on me at work, and they call me square, and... Oh, so what do you say, kids?
[Cuts to them moving away from Citysville and back to their true home]
Bye-bye, bad old Citysville!
And hello, City of Townsville!
[offscreen; gasps] Oh...oh, what have I done?! [dissolve to inside the girls' bedroom at the windows and pan to the bed. The covers are pulled all the way up. All we see of them are fringes of red-orange and black hair on the pillows] Girls...Girls, wake up! [they mumble sleepily. Buttercup yawns] Buttercup! [she pulls the covers up and groans sleepily] Wake up, Buttercup.
[throws the covers; but is suddenly inside the Professor's body] Professor, it's Saturday! Can't a girl get some sleep?! Harumph! [pulls the covers back over herself. A moment later, she sits bolt upright in cold shock with a gasp] B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B...
[revealed to be un Buttercup's body] Now remain calm, Buttercup.
[Buttercup reacts totally the opposite of what the Professor had told her to do. She screams and breathes hard, panicked. Holding her hands up in front of herself, she sees that she now has a full set of fingers, which she works back and forth. Her mouth begins to wobble, terror washing over the rest of her face, and after a long moment she breaks down, sobbing and wailing]
[socks Buttercup in the shoulder] Keep it down! I'm trying to sleep!
[On the bed, Blossom reveals to be inside Miss Bellum's body]
Buttercup, what are you doing in bed? [Buttercup giggles] Wait! What's going on? [Buttercup points] What?
[holding a mirror up to Blossom] Nice bed head, Blossom!
[gasps and screams] What happened?! I-I-I'm all grown up.
You're not grown up. You're just inside Ms. Bellum's all-grown-up body.
Wait! Well, if Buttercup's in your body, and I'm in Ms. Bellum's body, then who is...? [Blossom reaches to Bubbles's section of the bed and pulls the covers, and she and Buttercup shriek in terror] Girls! Girls, please! It's just Bubbles. [pulls the covers all the way down to reveal Bubbles, who's inside the Mayor's body] In the Mayor's body.
BBBlossom, Buttercup
Eeewwww!
[Camera turns around to show Blossom and Buttercup hovering behind Bubbles]
Huh? [turns; still blurry]
Come on, put your glasses on and help us!
Uh-uh, you'll laugh at me!
We will not. Now put them on!
[Bubbles resigns and puts the glasses on. Blossom and Buttercup once again laugh uncontrollably]
[takes off the glasses again; even angrier] See?
[still laughing] We're sorry, we're sorry.
Well, girls, I should have known. I'm sorry for not trusting your judgment. You were right about Mitch. And I have to admit, your solution is very creative.
[Reveals Mitch being chased by the mutant Twiggy in a gigantic exercise wheel.]
Hoo! That Twiggy is a biggie!
BBrickowski
[as he enters the chief's office] Hey, man.
CPChief of Police
Don't "man" me, sit down. [gestures to a seat]
BBrickowski
So what's up, Chief?
CPChief of Police
You're fired, Brickowski. [our cop-out cop reacts] I want you out of here immediately.
BBrickowski
[breaks out into a smile and laughs heartily, thinking it is all a joke and he's not being kicked off the force because of his lazy behavior] Chief, you crack me up!
CPChief of Police
[snaps] THIS IS NO JOKE! YOU ARE THE WORST, MOST INCOMPETENT OFFICER I HAVE EVER KNOWN! [calming down, sitting back down in his chair] Now hand over your badge.
BBrickowski
You...want my badge?
CPChief of Police
Did I stutter? Now hand it over. [Brickowski hands over his badge and the Chief takes it as he continues over. The same is then repeated with the other items the Chief lists] Good. Your sunglasses. [Brickowski also hands over a red pistol, his service weapon, but the Chief's hand waves it away] No, no, you can keep that. Little souvenir for ya. That doughnut's looking good though. [Brickowski hands over a donut] Oh, yeah. [takes a bite]
BBrickowski
Hey, I know what this is really about. It's those Powerpuff Girls' fault. They do all the work and now you gotta make cutbacks, so you're laying off good old Brickowski. WELL, I THINK THAT STINKS!!! [casts his gaze to his right, and punches the photo of the chief with the Powerpuff Girls, and shatters the glass, making the frame fall to the ground. He charges off before slamming the door behind him]
CPChief of Police
[about Brickowski's behavior] Son of a gun.
[sing-song voice] Lucky Captain Rabbit King! Lucky Captain Rabbit King! Lucky Captain Rabbit King!
TThief
[disguised as Lucky Captain Rabbit King] All right, cool it down! Cool it down. Now, uh... [clears his throat] Listen up. The Captain and Tennille has a headache. I'm just here for some cereal, then I'll be on my way. [reaches for the box of Lucky Captain Rabbit King Nuggets]
[swipes the cereal box] You think we're that stupid?
We know you have to try and trick us.
Yeah, just like in the commercials!
So don't come back until you've got something good! [slams the door in the thief's face. A moment later, the doorbell rings and she answers it]
TThief
[in his fake deep voice] Hey, did you guys just see my twin brother?
[slams the door in his face again] Weak!
[from inside bedroom] Okay! [back to the door] Presenting...Townsville's newest heroes! [the door opens, and she somersaults down the stairs to land in front of the Professor. She is fully decked out in the outfit that was hanging in the closet] Liberty Belle!
[A cloud of black fog seeps out of the room and down the stairs. It forms into a silhouette of Buttercup, with glowing green eyes and shreds of mist trailing behind]
[in a low, scratchy voice] Mange.
[from inside bedroom] And don't forget... [something white sails out and bounds all over the place like a crazed Superball before settling down. It is Bubbles, wearing the hood and a matching jumpsuit and carrying the lunchbox] ...Harmony Bunny!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
And we are...!
...Too late. [hangs up the phone as they watch in total bewilderment, then regards them with a raised eyebrow. It is clear he is disappointed in them screwing around for so long and not leaving at once to deal with the monster threat; dryly] Better heroes, huh?
[The girls hang their heads sadly]
[looks at his Jigglypuff watch] Confound it! Where can those blasted girls be?! [high-beam headlights play over the two of them] Oh!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
[stops the car and climbs out] Sorry we're late, Mayor.
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
[bouncing into view, dismounting] But we're here!
BMButtercup/Mange
[dropping into view] And ready to fight!
Splendid! But there's a teensy little problem. THE MONSTER LEFT! Better heroes, huh?
[Again the girls hang their heads for being tardy to the fight]
SMSteve the Monster
STOP!!!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
Huh?
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
What?
SMSteve the Monster
Better heroes, huh? Listen, girls. My name is Steve. I'm a monster. I've been coming here for three days, causing all sorts of damage to your town. And what do I get? Two days of no-shows, and now this. A flag girl who does rope tricks, some rabbit, and Little Miss Darkness who's afraid of a little sun.
BMButtercup/Mange
Hey! Do you have any idea who you're talking to?!
BHBubbles/Harmony Bunny
We're superheroes!
BLBlossom/Liberty Belle
Real ones!
SMSteve the Monster
Yeah, well, that's great and all. But what am I supposed to tell the guys back on Monster Isle? You see, when a monster visits Townsville, he must fight the Powerpuff Girls. And if he can hold his own and make it back to Monster Isle alive, he's a hero. Now, this new bit is just not gonna cut it. Sure, you didn't have a thirst for vengeance, stickers with faces on them, or souped-up vehicles 'cause you didn't need them. [takes the Girls' costumes off] See, even if you take away the costumes, the props and the angst, you still have all the bravery and courage it takes to save the day. So, what do you say? [knocks over the building] Powerpuff Girls?
[The girls smile at each other]
[The girls charge at Steve]
SMSteve the Monster
Now, that's better. [finally gets beaten up by the girls]
So, once again, the day is saved, with no thanks to Liberty Belle, Harmony Bunny, or Mange, but to the one and only Powerpuff Girls!
Um, excuse me, Mr. Monster? I was wondering if you would, err, be so kind as to stop destroying Townsville. We like our town very, very much, and I would appreciate it if you would just leave. Pretty please with sugar lumps on top?
[After a short silence, the monster turns and stomps away back into the sea]
[She giggles and flies back down to Blossom and Buttercup, who are both dumbstruck]
There. THAT'S HOW YOU GET RID OF A MONSTER, YOU BIG, FAT, DOO-DOO-HEADED NINNIES!!!!!
