Just Another Manic Mojo/Transcript
- (Opening shot: the city skyline during a beautiful morning.)
- Narrator: The city of Townsville!
- (Turn quickly down to the street and pan along it as he continues. We see people of all sorts traveling on foot and wheels, on their way to some recreation.)
- Narrator: And look! The wonderful citizens of Townsville, or "Townies," as I like to call them, are gathering in Townsville Park for a day of fun-filled activities. What joy! (He laughs loudly.)
- (On the latter part of this line, the camera reaches the park, which is filled with families enjoying themselves at picnics and games. After a few seconds, the Narrator cuts himself off abruptly, his voice taking on a darker tone.)
- Narrator: (coldly) But one place in Townsville Park is not filled with fun activity.
- (Fade to black during this line, then snap to...)
- Narrator: Townsville Volcano Mountain! (Zoom in slowly on the observatory.) For on top of this mountain lies the lair...
- (Dissolve to a long shot of Mojo Jojo, fast asleep in bed inside, and zoom in slowly as he continues.)
- Narrator: ...of the revengeful, resentful, spiteful, lawbreaking, mad, swindling, thieving, malicious, extorting, assaulting, crooked, torturous, dishonest, complaining, wicked, indecent, menacing, touchy, swarthy, shadowy, villainous villain of all time.
- (At the end of this, dissolve to a close-up of a digital alarm clock. The time is '8:59'. Two toy monkeys hold hammers near a bell on top of the unit.)
- Narrator: And he calls himself...
- (The time advances and the monkeys start ringing the bell with their hammers. Mojo reaches into view and shuts the alarm off; pull back to show him now sitting up in bed and looking much the way normal people do when they first get up - not very good, that is. He wears striped pajamas and a matching nightcap.)
- Narrator: ...Mojo Jojo! Oh, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!
- (Ignorant of the Narrator's hateful remark, Mojo yawns and slides his feet into a pair of slippers by the bed before shuffling across the lair toward a huge, closed hatch with a console in front of it. He reaches this and presses a button; the hatch slides open to give him a view of the bright, beaming sun just outside. It is enough to bring him fully awake as his face takes on an angry scowl and grimace.)Blossom: Hey, Mojo! I think our ball crashed through your window. Can we have it back?
- Mojo Jojo: The ball? Oh, uh, one moment, please. Yes, yes, the ball. I will hide the ball, and the Powerpuff girls and the heroes will have to retrieve it. But they will not find it because I have hidden it. And they will all stay here until I destroy them! And then there will be no more Powerpuff girls and their friends! (laughs)
- Blossom: Mojo, are you home?!
- Pooh Bear: He's not answering.
- Buttercup: Yeah, come on, let's go, he's not home.
- Mojo Jojo: Well, hello, girls and guys what can I do for you all? (laughs evilly)
- (The heroes felt uncomfortable upon hearing it.)
- Pikachu: Pikachu.
- Blossom: Um, yeah. Well, Mojo Jojo, we were playing catch and Buttercup threw the ball too hard and I think it broke through your window.
- Buttercup: Well, it wouldn't happen if Bubbles could catch.
- Bubbles: Well, I would have caught it if you threw it straight!
- (The heroes rolled their eyes.)
- Buttercup: What?!
- Bubbles: That's right, you throw crooked!
- Buttercup: You better take it back!
- Bubbles: Hi, I'm Buttercup. Catch!
- Rabbit: (sternly) Girls, that's enough.
- Pooh Bear: Yes, if you girls please.
- Mojo Jojo: Girls, guys. It is no trouble at all. Please, come in and I will return to you your ball.
- (We cut to inside.)
- Mojo Jojo: Please, wait here until I can locate your ball and give it back to you so it can be in your position once more. And, do not touch anything! Now, where do I put that ball?
- Ash Ketchum: I'm not sure if it's such a great idea or not.
- Pikachu: Pika.
- Blossom: Don't worry, Ash. We're just gonna get our ball back.
- Ash Ketchum: Okay, but I still don't trust him.
- Pikachu: Pika Pika.
- Bubbles: It'll be just this once.
- (In another room Mojo laughs evilly.)
- Mojo Jojo: How wonderful! They are unaware of the evil that will soon be upon them! Now, what to use? Hmm... oh, yes, yes! This might do just the trick.
- Bubbles: (curiously) Ooh, what's this?
- (Bubbles reaches out to touch the vase.)
- Mojo Jojo: Egad! My Ming Dynasty vase! The object of the very first crime I've commited! Do not touch! Uh... It is very valuable.
- Bubbles: Yeah?
- Mojo Jojo: (chuckles wearily) Yeah. Now, do not touch anything. I will return shortly with the oject that is not found. Accursed, annoying Powerpuffs! Now where was I? Ah, yes The giganto-destruto-Powerpuffo ray! The only way giant enough to destroy the Powerpuff girls! (the girls and heroes are heard laughing which annoys Mojo) What is this funny laughing?! There shall be no giggling in the lair of Mojo! (he gasped in embarrassment upon seeing the girls and heroes look through his photo album) My photo album!
- Bubbles: Oh, Mojo, you were so cute!
- Mojo Jojo: (furiously) I must reiterate: No touching of anything!
- Bubbles: Even this?
- Mojo Jojo: Especially that! Yes, yes. The time has almost come! Now to see the coordinates! Wait! Where did they go?! They are nowhere to be found! Powerpuff Girls? Oh, Powerpuff girls? Where are those accursed girls and their friends?!
- Buttercup: Tag you're it!
- Mojo Jojo: Tag?! What kind of foolishness is this?!
- Pikachu: Pikachu!
- Blossom: We're hiding!
- Buttercup: You're seeking!
- Tigger: You gotta find us, monkey boy!
- Mojo Jojo: Monkey boy?! (groans) That tiger is so annoying!
- Bubbles: Ha!
- Mojo Jojo: Stop this nonsense, immediately! (picks up the box and the girls are not here) But... they were just here in this place where I'm looking! (the girls laugh as they hide under the chair and he picks it up) Ha! I have located you! (the girls fly off) Wait! Stop! (growls, but gets an idea) Aha! Oh, Powerpuff girls, I have some candy for you.
- Girls: Candy!
- (The girls fly up to him and they licked their suckers while a disgusted Mojo looks on, then we cut to the girls and the heroes sit on the couch.)
- Mojo Jojo: Now, all of you stay on this couch until I return your ball that I've been seeking! (then he goes on his perch) These disruptions have caused me quite a delay. But Mojo's time of revenge has arrived!
- Girls and heroes: Hi, Mojo!
- Mojo Jojo: Powerpuff girls and heroes! What are you all doing here?!
- Blossom: Well, we decided to help you look for our ball.
- Tigger: If that's okay with you.
- Mojo Jojo: As a matter of fact, it's not okay with me, stripes.
- Buttercup: Eight eyes are better than two!
- Bubbles: Yeah!
- Blossom: Powerpuff girls and guys, spread and search!
- Mojo Jojo: No!
- Mojo Jojo: Curses. Here, here, here! Get out, get out, get out!
- Tigger: All right, already, monkey boy, we're just leaving. (the girls and heroes leave) Geez, what a grouch.
- Ash Ketchum: Who cares? I hate that manic monkey, anyway.
- Pikachu: Pika, Pi.
- Brock: Yeah, who wants to hang out with this insane no-good monkey, anyway?
- Misty: I wouldn't.
- Pooh Bear: Neither would we.
- Rabbit: Agreed.
- Bubbles: Thank you.
- Buttercup: Thank you.
- Blossom: Thank you.
- Mojo Jojo: Curses, curses, curses. I hate you too, Ash Ketchum and your friends too.
- Narrator: Next day, next day, next day...
- (Inside Mojo's lair, the table is again set for breakfast. He is getting ready to read the paper, and again is back to a more casual, relaxed, and pleased mood.)
- Mojo: Now to catch up on the world's latest events that have happened... (His perspective as he lifts the paper.) ...that this paper has reported with the words that it wrote.
- (This time, the front-page photo shows him giving the baseball back to three happy girls.)
- Mojo: (reading the headline, disbelieving) "Mojo Jojo Saves the Day"?..."Returns Powerpuffs' Ball"?
- (On the next line, pull back from him, then cuts outside the observatory and keep pulling back.)
- Mojo: (drawn-out, roaring) CURSES!
- (Ash watches from the window and quietly laughs in amusement.)
- Ash Ketchum: (whispers) He's so hilarious when he's angry. Let's skedaddle, Pikachu!
- Pikachu: Pikachu!
- (Ash quickly leaves.)
- Narrator: And so the day is saved...
- (The background for the end shot comes up, and a very angry Mojo appears to be by himself.)
- Narrator: ...thanks to Mojo Jojo! You saved the day!
- Mojo: I did not.
- Narrator: Don't be silly. You gave their ball back.
- Mojo: (denial) I said I didn't!!
- Narrator: All right, all right, you didn't. Sheesh. Talk about your grumpy monkey.
