Knock It Off/Transcript: Difference between revisions

Line 20:

* Young Dick: (he's actually looking at beautiful women through his telescope) Yeah, exciting....

-

(Wavering dissolve back to the Professor in the present.)

-

* Professor: Yeah, those were exciting days. (The doorbell rings.) Oh...there he is now!

* (Outside, at the bell by the front door. A finger presses it a few times. Cut to behind the owner of said finger and turn up quickly to the head. The individual wears black moccasins and pants, a long white coat similar to the Professor's, and carefully styled blond hair in a small ponytail. When he stops ringing, he throws a distrustful glance back at the camera - it is Dick, but his glasses are now tinted blue instead of pink.)

* (Next to the door is a mailbox filled with the day's deliveries. He pulls the stack out and starts to look it over. On top is a magazine entitled Science Fun. When he speaks, he sounds much as he did during the flashback, but a little deeper.)

* Dick: (to himself, contemptuously) Geez, still into the science stuff, huh? What a geek.

* (The door suddenly opens, and the Professor gets a good look at his old roommate.)

* Professor: Dick!

* Dick: (brightly, handing him the mail) Oh! I got your mail here.

* (Cut to just inside the door. Now we can see that Dick's coat has no pocket and a collar that resembles the style he wore in college. He wears a pink shirt underneath.)

* Professor: Oh, thank you.

* Dick: Yeah, you should probably pay that bill pretty soon.

* Professor: Um, thanks. So what brings you to Townsville?

* Dick: Oh...I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to see what the old roommate was up to. So, you gonna let me in or what?

* Professor: Sure, sure, come on in.

* Dick: (quickly shaking hands, walking in past him o.c.) Wow, look at this place! Still living in the '60s, huh? It's like we never left college. (Cut to him, rounding a corner.) So, what you working on these days? How you making money? Where's the lab?

* Professor: Oh, you don't want to go in there. The girls are cleaning it up. It's a mess. (Dick is now at the open lab door.)

* Dick: Yes, I do. I want to see what you've been up to. (addressing himself into the lab) All right, kids, go play somewhere else. Your old man and me have some business to...dis...cuss.

* (On the end of this, the sound of the girls in flight is heard, and his eyes go wide as he trails off upon getting his first look at them personally. They are zipping around the lab, putting the place in order at top speed. Dick stares, speechless, as they keep working. Blossom runs the vacuum cleaner, and Bubbles picks up a large piece of equipment to give her a clear shot at the floor underneath. Dick grins, now watching Buttercup eye a collection of cobwebs and blow a gust of air to sweep them up. This turns into a small tornado that works its way toward Blossom and then dissipates, leaving the collected dust in a pile. She zaps this with her eye lasers, vaporizing every grain.)

* (Now dollar signs appear in Dick's eyes as he has gotten a truly greedy, money-making idea. Pull back as the Professor approaches from the hall and puts a hand on his shoulder.)

* Professor: I see you've met my girls.

* Girls: Nice to meet you, Professor Dick.

* Dick: (to Professor) What do you mean, your girls? You mean you made those things?

* Professor: Um...well...technically. But I am their father.

* Dick: (grabbing his lapels, very animated) You're sitting on a gold mine here! I knew you would turn one of your little inventions into a cash cow. We could make a fortune with these things!

* Professor: Uh, Dick...

* Dick: This is bigger than both of us. I mean, big!

* Professor: (sternly) Dick...

* Dick: I'm talking global, baby. The Japanese will eat these things up! Hey, you think we could market them as a food?

Professor Utonium: Dick, Dick, DICK!!
