Supper Villain/Transcript
Narrator: The city of Townsville—an average city with average suburbs and average neighborhoods with average family homes. (shows the house belonging to a neighboring family living next door to the Powerpuff Girls' house) Here we start with an average family, the Smiths.

Professor Utonium: Hiya, neighbor! Just trimming the hedges and feeling great. (Mr. Smith starts toward his own front door on the end of this line; the two houses are in fact situated right next to each other, and his sports a winding front walk. It takes him some time to reach its other end.) My life's going perfect, ju-u-ust perfect! Oh, I think I’ll sing the “My Life Is Perfect” song. (singing, lounge style) My life is so perfect… (Mr. Smith gets inside and slams the door.)
(In the backyard, our heroes are busy gardening the professor's garden.)
Rabbit: (groans) These weeds are taking over the whole garden! Next thing you know, these pesky pests will be talking back.

Announcer: (on TV) We interrupt this program for a breaking news update.
(He lowers his paper to pay attention. The screen shows the same opening tableau as the previous day’s broadcast did.)
Whitfield: Hello. This is Stanley Whitfield, live in front of City Hall, where Mojo Jojo still has our beloved Mayor captive. (Mr. Smith’s eyes gleam wickedly.) And if this situation isn’t already horrific, last night it accelerated to new heights.
(A box dissolves into view next to him; inside it is another reporter, with a microphone in one hand and the other cupped to her ear.)
Whitfield: On the phone with us is rescue theorist Maria Santiago. (putting free hand to his receiver) Are you there, Maria?
Maria: Yes. Hello, Stanley.
Whitfield: Maria, as we show the viewers last night’s footage, could you please comment?
Maria: Yes, of course.
(The screen fills with static as she continues. This resolves into the same view as before, but a donut-eating policeman stands in Whitfield’s place. Maria takes no notice.)
Maria: At approximately 7:45 P.M. last night, when the situation looked its darkest,
(On the end of this, the policeman looks into the sky, his face brightening. The girls are then seen in flight—this is indeed a previously recorded tape. Maria is no longer on screen.)
Maria: (voice over) the Powerpuff Girls arrived at the scene.
(Mr. Smith’s face goes slack in shock at this turn of events, and he begins to twist the paper into a tight bundle. On TV, we now see another surveillance recording. The mayor is now tied up and blindfolded by his desk; during the next line, Mojo runs past, with the girls in hot pursuit.)
Maria: (voice over) Once inside, it seemed the Powerpuff Girls had Mojo Jojo on the run.
(Mr. Smith tears the screwed-up paper in half, his face now registering undiluted fury. Back to the TV.)
Maria: (voice over) But just then, the tables turned.
(The peripheral glare of an o.c. flash is seen, and the image dissolves into static. When it clears, the scene is the same, but Mojo drags the unconscious girls up next to the mayor as smoke rises from his laser blaster. It is clear he got the drop on the Girls off-camera by zapping them with a painful laser powerful enough to knock them out cold, and now holds them as his hostages alongside the mayor. He strikes a victorious pose as he silently laughs in triumph.)
Maria: (voice over) Mojo Jojo reclaimed his control. Townsville could be in big, big trouble. Stanley?
(As Whitfield picks up the story again, Mr. Smith looks positively ecstatic at this turnabout.)
Whitfield: (on TV) Thank you, Maria. This is a grim day for Townsville. Not only is the mayor being held hostage, but so are the Powerpuff Girls.
(Our heroes gasp in horror and they look at each other with terrified expressions on their faces. But Mr. Smith, on the other hand, gets up and tiptoes away again; pan to the same door he ducked into the previous day. He peeks out from behind it with another sinister smile and tucks himself away again, slamming the door.)
Mrs. Smith: (walking past) Dinner will be ready in fifteen, honey.
(Back to our heroes, they shrug their shoulders in confusion with Mr. Smith's behavior and rush out to go save the girls and the mayor. With everyone gone, the tools make themselves heard as the camera zooms in towards the door slowly. Fade to black.)
(Snap to the alarm clock, buzzing 6:00 one more time. The same routine unfolds, and once again Mrs. Smith carries a load of laundry and says, as he gets dressed…)

Whitfield: Hello, this is Stanley Whitfield, live in front of City Hall. It’s day three of the hostage situation, and we’re still at a standstill. (Suddenly a car pulls up) What? What's this?! (Our heroes hop out and rush into Townsville Hall; Then moments later, the place rumbles.) What the—?!
(Zoom in on the structure, which keeps rumbling and finally explodes. Cut to two policemen covering their ears. Both look up, surprised, and a badly injured and dazed Mojo drops into the arms of one of them. Whitfield is heard stammering a bit before regaining his composure.)
Whitfield: (from o.c.) Wha? Mojo Jojo is captured! (The mayor lands in the other cop’s arms, looking like he went through the wringer as well with Mojo.) The mayor is safe!
(Turn up to the sky as the girls fly over their heads and across the city. Apparently, they were able to recover and give Mojo what for to bring the standoff to a happy end.)
Whitfield: (from o.c.) Unbelievable! Those children rushed in to help the girls save the mayor from Mojo! Thank you very much, children! And thank you too, Powerpuff Girls! Bless your huge, little heads!
(Mr. Smith does not share Whitfield’s sentiment; the camera zooms in on him, rotating through 360 degrees as it does so. He is ready to blow every gasket in his head as his face is in a furious grimace as he tries to hold in his building rage. Cut to his perspective of his hideout, approaching it quickly. Just as he is about to reach the door, his wife pops up in front of him. Her eyes are fully open for the first time since the start of the episode; they are a bright ice-blue.)

Marianne Smith: (laughs nervously) What a joker Harold is! You're joking. Right, Harold?
Harold Smith: No. I'm finally free, Marianne. I'm the arch-villain I always wanted to be. No more mustard jars and routine days for me! And definitely no more average Harold Smith! I am now supervillain... uh Harold Smith!
Bud Smith: All right Dad!
Misty: You've gotta be kidding.
Marianne Smith: So tell me, Harold. What are you going to do with this newfound identity? Hmmm?
Harold Smith: I'm glad you asked Marianne. (Pulls out a ray gun he made out of a hairdryer and aims it at the Professor's head) I'm going to take this ray gun and melt the Professor's head clear off his shoulders! Ha ha ha ha! And that's just for starters.
Ash: What?!

Marianne Smith: STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! (to Harold) You are not going to ruin this dinner, I've worked too hard on it! (to everyone) Everyone to the table NOW! (calmly) We're going to have a nice evening together.

Marianne Smith: Isn't this nice?
Julie Smith: Does anybody want to play jacks after dinner?
Buddy Smith: Man, Dad, you're the coolest!

Professor Utonium: This is sooo good, Mrs. Smith, that I'm going to just take my time with this plate here.
(The girls and our heroes have finished their dinner.)

Blossom: I'm done.
Bubbles: I'm done.
Heroes: We're done.
