Bubblevicious/Transcript

Professor: (voice-over, amplified) Now, Buttercup... Ok, stop. (She gets to the ground.) Buttercup... BUTTERCUP!

(She finally stops swinging and puts a look of surprise on her face as she finally reacts to the Professor calling her. Around her, the scene dissolves to an empty white chamber with grid lines on the walls and floor. Pull back to reveal the Professor addressing her through a microphone and watching at a window. In front of him is a control panel. The entire setup is a fighting simulator in the girls' house, and Buttercup had just finished her training in it when the Professor got her to cease attacking the slug before turning off the simulation and returning the room to normal.)

Professor: Um, I think you got him, honey.

(Cut to behind her; he and the other girls are silhouetted in the window, which has a door next to it.)

Professor: (over intercom) Come back in now. (She leaves the chamber; cut to the control room.)

Buttercup: How was that, guys?

Ash Ketchum: That's pretty tough, Buttercup.

Buttercup: Thanks, Ash. I love that very much.

Rabbit: I say it's a little too rough.

Blossom: Yeah, I thought you were a little too far, like when--

Bubbles: Man, Buttercup! You are hard-core! There was this part where you stuck inside the slug, (a bored Buttercup mutters acknowlegement) and it was all gross and stuff, and then. Splat! Pow! Bam! You were hitting it and then you were slamming, and on the ground, the punching and the kicking, and it was all dead and stuff and...

Misty: I think Buttercup get's the point.

Bubbles: Oh, ok, Misty.

Professor: Bubbles?

Bubbles: Yeah?

Professor: It's your...(Bubbles flies into the chamber) turn.

Bubbles: Okay, I'm ready!

Professor: Aww, ain't she cute?

Pooh Bear: (giggles) Yes, she most certainly is, Professor.

Blossom: Professor, don't forget to-

Professor: Don't worry, Blossom. I know. Danger level 9 is way too much for our little Bubbles. Ready? Here you go.

Bubbles: Professor! (flying to window, now a mirror) You turned it down again! I'm just as tough as Blossom and Buttercup! I can handle the rough stuff too!

(Pull back for a moment on the next line; the robot's antennae begin to glow and hum. Back to the window.)

Bubbles: Come on, you guys. Turn it up just this once. I'll show you!

(The shriek on the end of this line is triggered by the laser beam from behind, which catches her off guard. The robot has let her have it. Around her, the scene dissolves back to the chamber and the mirror becomes a window again. Bubbles appears char-broiled.)

Professor: You see, Bubbles. You're not ready for the higher levels. (Bubbles is saddened upon hearing this) Oh, don't worry, cheer up. Someday you will be.

Bubbles: It's not fair.

Professor: Oh, she's so cute when she's all pouty like that.

Pooh Bear: Well, we can't blame her.

Pikachu: Pika Pika.

(Later that night.)

Professor: Now, I want you girls to go right to sleep. You have a hard day of training and you need your rest. Good night.

Blossom: Professor?

Professor: Yes?

Blossom: Don't forget to leave the hall light on for Bubbles.

Bubbles: Uh, that's okay, Professor. I'm not afraid of the dark anymore.

Professor: (laughing) Bubbles, you are so precious acting all brave.

Buttercup: (teasingly) Yeah, everyone knows you're the scarediest.

Bubbles: Am not!

Ash Ketchum: Cut it out, Buttercup!

Buttercup: Aww, lighten up, Ash. I was just kidding.

Rabbit: All right, now that's enough chat. Now get some sleep everyone.

Professor: Good night, guys.

(Everyone falls asleep except Bubbles who is angry since she's treated like a baby.)

Bubbles: (thinking) It's not fair, I'm just as tough and strong and mean as Buttercup and Blossom. But, they just don't believe me, they all treat me like a baby. I'll show them. I'll prove them that I can be...hardcore.

(Bubbles turns on the lab light then she turns the danger levels to 11.)

Bubbles: Mission begin!

(The scene changes to the playground at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten where the kids play while the girls sit around in a circle with the kids.)

Blossom: Let's play Duck, Duck, Goose. I'll be it! Duck. Duck. Duck. Goose! (taps Bubbles and gets tagged) Can't catch me! (jokingly) What's the matter? Am I too fast for cute little Bubbles?

(Bubbles gets mad and tackles her roughly.)

Bubbles: Ha! I got you! You're out! Done! Finished! You are beaten down, sister, by cute little Bubbles!

Blossom: Sheesh. Relax, it's just a game.

(The hotline rings in the classroom.)

Bubbles: The hotline! (answers it) What do you want, Mayor?!

Mayor: (stammers nervously)

Bubbles: Spit it out!

Mayor: Oh, well, yes, well, I'm stuck in the middle of this huge traffic jam and I'm gonna to be late.

Bubbles: I'm on it!

(Blossom, Buttercup and the heroes look on with worry as Bubbles flies away in anger.)

Talking Dog: Well, I may be able to talk. But I'm sure as heck I can't drive. (just then Bubbles tears the roof of the car) Oh, hi, Bubbles. How are you? (gets pulled out)

Bubbles: (beating the dog) Bad dog! Bad dog!

Talking Dog: (scared) No, Bubbles, have mercy!

Bubbles: Mercy is for the weak!

Heroes: Bubbles!

Rabbit: What on earth are you doing?!

Brock: What's gotten into you?!

Buttercup: Yeah, have you lost your mind?!

Blossom: This isn't the Bubbles we know.

Bubbles: The Bubbles you know is gone! I'm hardcore now!

Pooh Bear: Bubbles, please calm down.

Bubbles: Don't tell me to calm down, Pooh Bear!

Buttercup: But, um you're going overboard.

Blossom: That's not the Powerpuff way.

Ash Ketchum: We can help you if you tell us what's wrong.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Bubbles: I don't need help, Ash and nothing's wrong with me at all! So, forget the Powerpuff way, I'm doing it my way. I can handle Townsville myself!

Heroes: What?!

Blossom and Buttercup: What?!

Piglet: You can't do that!

Buttercup: Yeah, we're a team!

Blossom: We look out for each other.

Bubbles; I don't mean to burst your bubble, guys. But, from now on I fly solo!

(Bubbles flies off as the girls and the heroes look on in shock.)

Pooh Bear: Oh, bother.

Tigger: I've never seen Bubbles act like this before.

Misty: Me neither.

Ash Ketchum: It's not like Bubbles to snap at us like that.

Pikachu: Pika.

(The heroes among with Blossom and Buttercup look for Bubbles all over the city.)

Ash Ketchum: Bubbles!

Misty: Bubbles, where are you?!

Blossom: Any luck, guys?

Pooh Bear: We don't think so, Blossom.

Piglet: We don't see her anywhere.

Tigger: Yeah, we looked everywhere.

Rabbit: No sign of Bubbles, girls.

Blossom: Where could she be?

Buttercup: Let's keep looking.

Blossom: I hope she's okay.

Ash Ketchum: Noctowl, I choose you!

(Noctowl materializes)

Ash Ketchum: Noctowl, go and look for Bubbles!

(Noctowl flies off)

Ash Ketchum: Noctowl, did you find anything?

Mojo Jojo: Now, that I have you, my sweet little Bubbles... nothing can stop my plan to take over the world!

Bubbles: What plan?!

Mojo Jojo: I'll tell you! my plan to zap with my laser causing you to cry out just like a little baby. Which in turn will cause your sisters and your friends to come flying to your rescue, which I am well prepared, as you can see. And with you all do-gooders out of the way, no one will be able to stop me!

Bubbles: That's dumbest plan I've ever heard! And I'm not a baby!

Mojo Jojo: Well, we'll see about that!

Bubbles: I'm not gonna cry, you dumb doo-doo brain!

Mojo Jojo: Doo-doo brain?! That's it! I've had it with your sassy mouth! I didn't want to do this! Well actually I did.

Heroes: (with Blossom and Buttercup) Bubbles!

Bubbles: What?!

Pooh Bear: We've been looking everywhere for you.

Blossom: Yeah, we heard you scre--

(Blossom, Buttercup and the heroes react in amazement upon seeing the defeated Mojo.)

Blossom: Wow, Bubbles, I can believe you've defeated Mojo all before yourself. You've really whooped him.

Buttercup: And, look, guys, she took the laser all the way to eleven.

Heroes: (with Blossom) Whoa!

Blossom: Man, Bubbles, we really underestimated you.

Buttercup: And you know what?

Bubbles: What?!

Blossom, Buttercup: You're hardcore!

Bubbles: (turning around, softening) Really? (giggling) Aw, shucks. (turns to Pooh and the others) Guys, I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just that I don't like being treated like a baby.

Ash Ketchum: Aww, that's okay, Bubbles.

Rabbit: So, that's what's been bothering you, Bubbles?

Bubbles: Uh-huh.

Tigger: Hey, uh, Bubbles, we told Professor what you have done through the city, and what you did to his simulation chamber.

Bubbles: You did?

Misty: Yeah, and he wanted us to tell you, if we found you, that he wanted a stern talk with you when you ever come home.

Bubbles: Oh, I'm going to be in big trouble, am I?

Misty: Yep!

Bubbles: (sighs)

Rabbit: (sternly) Yes, the professor is not pleased for what you have done. (Bubbles bows her head in shame) And now, you listen to me, young lady, if there's anything bothering you let us know, all right?

Bubbles: Yes, Rabbit. (flying up to Blossom and Buttercup) And girls, I'm sorry for running off.

(Close-up of Mojo, who has just come to, having fully recovered from his injuries.)

Bubbles: (from o.c.) Mojo would never have gotten me if I had you two to look out for me.

(He pulls a blaster from under his cape and points it into the air during this line. Extreme close-up of a point between the girls; they reach one hand apiece into view, piling them up as if about to break a football huddle.)

Blossom: (from o.c.) Team?

Buttercup: (from o.c.) Team!

Bubbles: (from o.c.) Team!

(Pull back quickly. They are hit by a beam - Mojo's blaster - and yell in pain. When its over, Blossom and Buttercup smile towards Bubbles as smoke rises from Bubbles' pigtails as she turns to face the camera, the "hardcore" look returning to her face. Cut to Mojo, his eyes darting nervously about and finally turning sadly down to the floor, realizing he's screwed now and about to be given another pummeling. He is plowed off his feet and subjected to another bout of pummeling by Bubbles for his little cheap shot at her and her sisters.)

Bubbles: Why, you...! How dare you zap me and my sisters? Take this! And that! And this! And this! And that!

(The standard end shot comes up.)

Narrator: Ha, ha, ha! Oh, Bubbles, you're so cute when you're all tough like that. (laughing again) So once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!
