Flushed Away (Alternate Version)

Part 1: Dancing With Myself

 * (The screen fades to the DreamWorks SKG logo, then the Aardman logo. Opens to a view of Kensington, London, UK. The logos "DreamWorks Animation and Aardman Features present" appear.)
 * (The title, "Flushed Away" appears on the bridge. The logo fades as it cuts outside to Tabitha's apartment. A black car comes in and honks. Cuts to the living room.)
 * Mum: Car's here!
 * Dad: It's 9:00 already! Hurry up! We're going to miss our flight!
 * Mum: Traveler's checks, passports...
 * Dad: You have the tickets, darling?
 * Mum: Tabitha, did you feed Roddy?
 * Tabitha: Oops!
 * Mum: I know we've forgotten something, I just know we've forgotten something.
 * Tabitha: Hello, Gilbert! Hello, Sullivan!
 * Dad: (off-screen) Come on, Tabitha!
 * Tabitha: Just a second! (goes to Roddy and gives him a piece of cheese) Bye, Roddy! I'll miss you!
 * Dad: (off-screen) We don't want to miss our holiday!
 * (Tabitha comes to the door)
 * Tabitha: I'm coming, I'm coming! (closes the door)
 * (Silence. Cuts to Tabitha's bedroom. Roddy yawns.)
 * Roddy: All clear, chaps! (cuts to Gilbert standing as Sullivan loses his balance on the wheel) Tabitha has gone away and (cuts to Roddy) two weeks' the place to myself. Ah... (slides down) Aha! (kicks the door open) When the cat's away, Roddy St. James will play. (stares in shock and hides inside) The cat is away, isn't it? G-Gilbert? Sullivan? Hasn't Tabitha got a new pet today?
 * Gilbert: Snap out of it, sir. You must've been dreaming.
 * Roddy: (comes out of the door and wipes his head off) Oh, thank goodness...
 * Sullivan: In fact, we have a surprise for you.
 * Roddy: A surprise?
 * Gilbert and Sullivan: Happy Birthday, Master Roderick.
 * Roddy: You... remembered. Today's the day I'm going to live it up! I have the entire day planned on my list, "Roddy's Fun Day!" Shows everything I want to do for my life. So, let's get this going. (Gilbert and Sullivan walk forward)
 * ("Dancing With Myself" plays. Cuts to the kitchen where Roddy goes to a bowl and a coffee maker. Roddy turns on the coffee maker as it emits hot water, takes off his PJs off-screen and goes to the bowl. The camera zooms to Roddy, without his clothes, censoring his private parts. As Roddy touches the water, he exclaims in pain. Roddy claps his hands two times to get Gilbert. Gilbert comes in with a glass bottle filled with cold water. Gilbert pours the cold water on the bowl and Roddy goes in. Roddy sees that the water is warmer. Roddy claps his hands two times to get Sullivan. Sullivan comes in with a red toy boat and puts it on the bowl.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy, now wearing his white PJs again, with his mirror. Roddy claps his hands two times as his butlers appear with a toothbrush, with toothpaste on it. Roddy grabs the toothbrush, turns it on to make it vibrate, and brushes with it.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy, wearing swim trunks, to the sink, full of water, with Gilbert and Sullivan, wearing swim trunks, on their rafts.)
 * Roddy: Cannonball! (jumps on the sink, splashing Gilbert and Sullivan)
 * (Cuts to Roddy, wearing a white shirt, and a black helmet on his head, with a cotton swab, riding on a pink plastic horse, which Gilbert and Sullivan are carrying. Roddy hits a pea with a cotton swab as it launches to a white vase. The vase breaks off-screen as Roddy looks back.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy in the living room, with a cotton swab, trying to hit a pea. Gilbert and Sullivan appear also.)
 * Roddy: Fore!
 * (Roddy swings the swab as it hits Gilbert. Roddy hits the pea with a swab. Roddy turns back to Sullivan, but sees that Gilbert isn't here. Roddy looks at Gilbert, who is hit at the wall.)
 * Roddy: Oops. Sorry!
 * (Cuts to Roddy, while whistling, riding on his red car with a vacuum. The vacuum sucks all of the peas inside.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy, with his checklist, with "Swimming", "Skiing" and "Polo" checked off. Roddy checks off golf on the list.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy in the living room, with Gilbert and Sullivan dressing him with a black jacket and black shoes. Roddy wipes off the dust from his jacket and is fully dressed.
 * Sullivan: Any plans for this evening, sir?
 * Roddy: Well, chaps, get the stuff ready, because we're going to prepare the obstacle course!
 * (Cuts to the kitchen shaking as a large booming sound is heard.)
 * (Cuts to the living room where Roddy and his butlers gasp in fear.)
 * Roddy: What was that?
 * Sullivan: Sounds like a noise, sir.
 * Gilbert: In the kitchen.
 * Roddy: Yes. A noise. In the kitchen. Very helpful. But what's making the noise?
 * Gilbert: Perhaps an intruder?
 * Sullivan: Yes! An intruder! Perhaps we should investigate. (walks along with Gilbert to the kitchen and looks at Roddy) Sir?
 * Roddy: Investigate? Uh... Yes, investigate. To the kitchen! (follows Gilbert and Sullivan)

Part 2: Sid from the Sewer

 * (Cuts to the kitchen. Roddy, with Gilbert, wearing a knight helmet on his head, and Sullivan, wearing a helmet with leaves on it and makeup, popping up behind a cereal box. Roddy and Sullivan hide except for Sullivan. Sullivan falls down with his helmet and hides behind a box. Cuts to Roddy and his butlers who are hiding behind a cereal box.)
 * Roddy: (looks at the sink) There's something out there. We better sneak out to the sink and see if the "intruder" is friendly or not.
 * (Roddy with a green umbrella, Gilbert with an orange umbrella, and Sullivan with a purple umbrella sneak out to the sink. Roddy looks at the sink and sees that the faucet is shaking. The sink explodes and summons a strange creature falling down.)
 * ???: (coming out from the sink) YEEEEEEEE-HAW!!!
 * (Roddy sees that the mysterious creature has landed on a chocolate cake. The creature coming out from the cake is none other than Sid, an overweight rat from the sewer. Sid belches very extremely loud as the stench pulls away Roddy and his butlers. Roddy gets tripped by a plate of sausages, Sullivan falls off the table, and Gilbert uses an orange umbrella to make him fly to safety. After the belch, Roddy comes out from the plate and gets belched the second time, then the third, and finally the fourth. Cuts to the chocolate cake where Sid is at.)
 * Sid: (smacks his lips) Oh, wow! Huh, I don't remember eating that. (belches again and looks at the entire kitchen) Whoa, would you look at this place, then! I think I could get used to this.
 * Roddy: (gasps) What the...?
 * (Cuts to Sid.)
 * Sid: Oh, hello!
 * Roddy, Gilbert and Sullivan: AH!
 * Sid: "AH!" to you too, lads!
 * Roddy: Who are you? Stand back, please! Don't get any closer!
 * Sid: Hey, what's the idea, mate? There's nothing to worry about! (points to himself with his thumb) Sidney! Sid to my mates, and you are?
 * Roddy: (gets away from Sid's disgusting hand) Appalled.
 * Sid: Cheers, Paul! (laughs and gives Roddy a hug)
 * (Roddy is uncomfortable of Sid's hug. Sid cracks Roddy's back, as Roddy exclaims in pain.)
 * Sid: I love making new friends! (gives Roddy a head nuggie) Come here, you little ball of fluff!
 * Roddy: Ew, ew, ew! (backs away from Sid) Ow, oh, he touched me! Ooh, I can already feel the germs flooding my system! I'll be dead by breakfast!
 * Sid: (comes in with a sardine) This is great! One minute, I'm in the pub, I'm minding me own business, next thing you know, WHHHOOOOSH! It's a burst water main, off I go, shooting up the sewer pipes and, well... Here I am!
 * Roddy: Are you...? (stuttering) Uh, but, I mean, uh, aren't...
 * (Sid eats a sardine as Roddy looks with a disturbing reaction. Sid finishes eating the sardine as he wipes off his mouth.)
 * Sid: Lovely-jubbily!
 * (Roddy closes his mouth in disgust.)
 * Sid: (laughs) Say, you wouldn't have any clothes I can borrow?
 * Roddy: Well, yes, but...
 * Sid: Say no more! (runs to the living room)
 * Roddy: No, no, no... Hey, no!
 * Sid: Geronimo!
 * Roddy: NO! NO, NO, DON'T... touch anything!
 * (Cuts to the living room, with Sid looking at the TV.)
 * Sid: Would you look at the size of that monster?!
 * (Roddy and his butlers run off to the living room.)
 * Roddy: (to Sid) No, no, no! That's the TV! (looks at his butlers miserably)
 * (Cuts to Sid jumping to a pillow with a remote in his hand. Sid presses the button on the remote as the FIFA World Cup Final plays on the TV, with England against America.)
 * TV Announcer: It's the match of the century! The FIFA World Cup Final! England! America! Live this Sunday! Be there!
 * (Cuts to Sid looking surprised as he takes off his shoes.)
 * Sid: England in the World Cup Final! I never thought I'd see the day. Me and you, we're gonna have a great time watching that.
 * (Cuts to the TV turned off.)
 * (Cuts to Sid, who's relaxing with his eyes closed, waking up.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy and his butlers angry at Sid.)
 * Roddy: Right, my friend. You... don't... belong here! I'm afraid it's time for you to leave! (punches Sid's right foot, then backs away from it in disgust and shakes his hand off) Ugh!
 * Sid: I would not do that if I was you, "pal." Let me lay this out for you two. This place is mine now, Sid says "Jump", you say "How High?". HA-HEY! Comprende?
 * (Roddy and his butlers gasp.)
 * Sid: Now, fetch us some fitting clothes from the dresser, Jeeves. Oh, and be snappy about it.
 * Roddy: Eh... Loud and clear, my flat, cheery mate, friend. Yes, uh, Gilbert, Sullivan, um... Let's make our new guest feel welcome, shall we?
 * (Gilbert and Sullivan gasp.)
 * Roddy: We're going to, uh, heat up a Jacuzzi.
 * Sid: (surprised) A Jacuzzi???
 * (Roddy gleefully chuckles.)
 * Gilbert: (whispers to Roddy) Uh, Master Roderick, sir?
 * Roddy: (whispers to his butlers) Yes, chaps?
 * Sullivan: (whispers to Roddy) A word?
 * Roddy: Uh... (to Sid) *chuckle* Wait right here.
 * Sid: (to Roddy, Gilbert and Sullivan) Sure, sure. Take your time.
 * (Roddy and his butlers walk out and whisper in private.)
 * Gilbert: Are you sure about this? We don't even have a Jacuzzi!
 * Roddy: Listen, I promise. We're just going to lure Sid to the toilet, thinking it was a Jacuzzi, then, after he's finished, we have nothing to worry about! Simple!
 * Sullivan: This is not good.
 * (Roddy and his butlers come back to Sid, after the pep talk.)
 * Gilbert: (to Sid) Sir, we got the Jacuzzi heated up for you.
 * Sid: Great! I like where this is going. Lead the way.
 * (Roddy looks at Gilbert and Sullivan gleefully.)

Part 3: Roddy Gets Flushed

 * (The screen shows a shut door to the bathroom.)
 * (Cuts to Sid.)
 * Sid: Oh, this is smashing of you, mate.
 * (Cuts to Roddy and Sid standing on a toilet seat.)
 * Sid: (to Roddy) You know what you are? You're a real gent.
 * Roddy: (to Sid) Well, after a hard day of navigating sewer pipes, there's nothing better than a nice, warm whoosh-around.
 * Sid: That looks so inviting!
 * Roddy: Yes, yes, the water looks perfect. Now, you... hop in, and I'll press this lever to get the bubbles going.
 * Sid: Right, in I go... (is about to dive onto the water, but stops) Uh, hang on a sec.
 * Roddy: What?
 * (Sid gets a watch out of his pocket and puts it on the seat.)
 * Sid: Don't wanna get me watch wet.
 * (Roddy laughs sheepishly.)
 * Sid: In we go! (is about to dive onto the water, but then once again stops) Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! (to Roddy) I know we got off on the wrong foot before, right? But you know, I really think we're gonna get along, don't you?
 * Roddy: Swimmingly.
 * (Sid places his hand on Roddy's shoulder. Roddy becomes unamused to Sid.)
 * Sid: Be seeing you, my friend.
 * (Sid pushes Roddy to the toilet. Roddy lands on the water and quickly swims to the surface.)
 * Sid: You plonker! You think I don't know a toilet when I see one?! You were going to flush me down the loo!!
 * Roddy: No! No, no, no! It's a Jacuzzi! It's a big Jacuzzi, deluxe model!
 * Sid: Well, then you won't mind if I get the bubbles going, will ya?
 * Roddy: No! Not the lever! No!
 * (Sid grabs onto the toilet lever)
 * Roddy: Have mercy! NO! I can't swim!
 * Sid: Bon voyage, me ol' cream cracker!! (flushes the toilet) Hold your nose!
 * (The toilet starts flushing.)
 * Roddy: Gilbert! Sullivan! HELP!
 * Sid: You were gonna try and flush me! Let's see how you like it!!
 * (Roddy is now flushed. A bubble appears and pops.)
 * (Cuts to Roddy inside the pipes to the toilet. Roddy gets hit multiple times by the pipes. Roddy lands on a big pipe and goes underwater. Roddy, with an afro on his head, comes out. Roddy looks at the afro on his head. Roddy looks and hangs onto something, with the afro falling off his head, as the water drains out. Roddy is hanging onto a piece of toilet paper. The paper is about to rip off as Roddy looks at it. Roddy falls down onto a giant wave of water. The wave moves Roddy as he gets hit by a piece of toilet paper and then a goldfish.)
 * Goldfish: (wakes up and talks to Roddy) Have you seen my dad?
 * Roddy: (throws the goldfish away) Ah! (falls off onto the giant sewer pool) NAAAAAAAAGGGHH!!
 * (Roddy is in underwater and screams as he sees falling dentures. Roddy dodges from the dentures and swims back to the surface. Roddy gasps for air and grabs a chocolate bar as he looks and screams at it.)
 * Roddy: Oh. (gasps as the chocolate bar is heading to the main pipe)
 * (Roddy swims away from the main pipe. The water pulls Roddy to a gate. Roddy gets off from the gate and falls to the sewer. Roddy lands on the water.)
 * Roddy: (gets up, flailing his arms around) Oh, no, I can't swim! I can't swim! I can't... (stops for a moment and gets up from the water with his legs) ...swim.
 * (The camera zooms close to Roddy as he looks around in the sewer.)
 * Roddy: I'm... in... THE SEWER?!?! (runs around in horror) NOOOOOOOOAAAAGGGH!!! (gets to the concrete floor and encounters a slug)
 * (The slug's eyes pop out as it scares Roddy.)
 * Roddy: AAAGH!!
 * Slug: AAAGH!!
 * Roddy: AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!
 * Slug: AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!! (runs away from Roddy)
 * (Roddy whimpers in horror and gets on top of the concrete. Roddy grabs his tail with his hands and looks around. A thud sound is heard off-screen as Roddy gasps.)
 * Roddy: Hello?
 * (Cuts to the view of the sewer, with an insect crawling on top of the wall.)
 * Roddy: Help? (closes his eyes with his hands) I'm gonna open my eyes I'm gonna be home. (opens his eyes) This is all a bad dream. (looks around and jumps in horror) OH, I'M NOT HOME! I WANNA GO HOME! (slaps himself) Shush! Stop it, stop it, Roddy! (becomes frightened) Stop it, I want to go home! (about to calm down) Pull yourself together! (becomes frightened again) I CAN'T, I'M JUST... frightened. (slaps himself three times) STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT! (calming down) Okay. This doesn't seem bad here. I think I'm gonna learn to like this place.
 * (A group of slugs from the wall wake up as Roddy looks at them. Roddy screams again.)
 * Roddy: AAAGH!!
 * Slugs: AAAGH!!
 * Roddy: AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!
 * Slugs: AAAAAAAGGGGHHH!!!
 * (Roddy sees that a slug is on his back.)
 * Roddy: AAAGH!! (gets a slug off his back) AAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!!!
 * (Roddy is running away from the sewer, until he hears something from the pipe. Roddy looks at the pipe, with a slug in the background running away screaming.)
 * ???: (off-screen) Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
 * Roddy: (excitingly) A way out! (runs to the pipe) Yes!! Ha, ha, ha! (gets hit by a gate that makes him fall off)
 * (Roddy falls off from the pipe and lands on the ground. A rat person, wearing a pink shirt, a blue sleeveless vest, and a white hat gets Roddy up.)
 * Roddy: (groaning in pain, until he gasps in amazement) Good grief!
 * (The camera zooms to a view of Ratropolis.)
