PROFESSOR: It's a package from my sister Ursula. Open it!

BUBBLES: Oh my! It's a teddy bear... isn't it?

PROFESSOR: Yes, it's a teddy bear. Ursula makes a lot of patchwork quilts, so I guess when she decided to make a bear, she made it out of the pieces of a lot of different bears.

BUTTERCUP: Creepy!

PROFESSOR: Buttercup.

BLOSSOM: I think it's... oh, what's the word I'm looking for...?

BUTTERCUP: Creepy.

HIM(f.v.):Oh, don't worry. No real harm will befall the Girls. I just want to play with them.

URSULA: Pervert!

HIM(f.v.): Why, thank you. It isn't all that often I get a compliment. (grins fiercely)

WHIP PAN TO:

CLOSEUP OF BEAR

[The BEAR starts to shake and wobble and jump. Finally a glowing red heart leaps out of its chest and lands on the floor. The PPG gather around it.]

BLOSSOM: This looks like one of Him's tricks.

BUTTERCUP: Hours ago. That is so over with.

BUBBLES: He's a good bear now.

HIM(evil voice): Well -- where's the heart?!

[A wild-eyed PROFESSOR staggers ON SCREEN and up to HIM. He licks HIM'S face.]

BLOSSOM'S voice: You are so wrong!

BUTTERCUP'S VOICE: No, I'm not!

BUBBLES: Well, what about me? It's not easy being blue!

[She pouts. A little rain cloud appears over her. BUTTERCUP blows it away.]

BUTTERCUP: Blue schmoo! You're living on easy street, sister!

[BUBBLES gives her an angry glare for a few seconds.]

BUBBLES: Well, if you think I have it so easy, you try being me for a day!

BLOSSOM: That's it! We'll switch roles for a day! I'll be Buttercup, because I know how easy it'll be. Bubbles, I'm afraid you have it hardest -- you have to be me!

BUBBLES: Okay, Girls, be sure to follow my lead, because I'll be leading this mission, using my leaderly abilities.

BLOSSOM: I'm gonna give 'em a knuckle sandwich.

BUTTERCUP: I hope we don't have to fight too hard. I don't want to wrinkle my pretty dress.

[The PPG exchange superior glances.]

CUT TO:

INT SHOT OF A BANK BEING ROBBED BY HIM, MOJO, AND FUZZY

[The PPG crash down through the ceiling and land.]

BUBBLES: Give up, bad guys! You don't have a chance of being victorious over the Powerpuff Girls!

[The three villains slowly turn around.]

HIM: A doh. A doh doh doh.

MOJO(feminine voice): Oh my, it seems we've been interrupted.

NARRATOR: Sorry, people. This role-switching has already been done in Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever. The network says that's a no-no. Everybody go home.

[The villains leave, grumbling.]

HIM(feminine voice): You do a very good me.

MOJO: Thank you. Mojo put much practice into it.

BLOSSOM: Aw, come on. This would have been fun.

NARRATOR: It's not up for discussion. I'm shutting off the mike and lights.

[The daylight changes to a deep nighttime blue. The CAMERA stays with the PPG as they fly outside.]

BUTTERCUP: At least the food in the fridge is still cold. Submarine sandwiches okay for you guys?

BUBBLES AND BLOSSOM: Sure.

[The PPG sit at the table and start eating.]

BUTTERCUP: What do we do now? I've got that
gotta-do-an-episode-or-go-crazy-feeling.

BLOSSOM: Maybe one of the villains could help us come up with an idea.

BUBBLES: But who?

BUTTERCUP: What about Sedusa? She's vain enough to want the attention.

BLOSSOM: Good idea.

CUT TO:

INT SHOT OF SEDUSA'S HOME

SEDUSA: What's going on? First it's dark, then it's light, then it's dark again!

[The PPG crash down through the ceiling.]

BUTTERCUP: Hi, Sedusa! Could you help us finish our episode? That dumb narrator shut things down.

BUBBLES: He said our story was too much like Best Rainy Day Adventure Ever. Pffft!

SEDUSA: It's raining out. We'll have to do it inside. (Whispers something to BLOSSOM and BUTTERCUP)

BLOSSOM: I like it!

SEDUSA: Bubbles, you can be the Narrator.

[BUBBLES beams with joy. SEDUSA trots OFF SCREEN, then returns carrying a biscuit tin.]

SEDUSA: Woo--oo--oo--oo! (lowering the tin to the floor): Booo--ooommm!!!

BUTTERCUP: Goodness gracious! What was that?

BLOSSOM(seriously): The war with Canada has begun.

[SEDUSA begins opening and closing the tin's lid like a mouth.]

SEDUSA(imitating William Shatner): People of Townsville -- the people of Canada love you -- and we are here to make your country -- part of ours.

BUTTERCUP: Eat Powerpuff knuckles, Shatner!

SEDUSA: Zap! Zap! Zap zap!

BUBBLES: The city of Townsville is under attack! Will the enemies' laser cannon fry the Powerpuff Girls?

BLOSSOM: No! We will not be Kirk's Fried Chicks!

[BLOSSOM and BUTTERCUP dodge laser beams. BLOSSOM runs up, grabbing the tin and shaking it upside down. She stomps on the floor.]

BLOSSOM: Take that, William Shatner!

SEDUSA(imitating William Shatner): Oh! I never dreamed -- that I would be -- the disposable crewman.

BUBBLES: And so the day is saved -- thanks to the Powerpuff Girls.

[The four bow to the CAMERA.]
