The Powerpuff Girls Movie: Power of Four/Transcript

[Opening shot: A shot of the skyline of Townsville.]

Narrator: The city of Townsville! (relaxed) Ahh, what a nice, calm, beautiful, and peaceful day. On a sunny Sunday afternoon.

(Dissolve to a man asleep in a hammock.)

Narrator: The perfect day to put your feet up...

(Dissolve to a man and woman set up for a picnic. She is feeding him grapes.)

Narrator: ...have a picnic...

(Dissolve to a long shot of a car motoring along a road that parallels the beach.)

Narrator: ...take a drive up the coast...

(Dissolve to the beach and pan slowly along it. People are sunbathing and playing.)

Narrator: ...or just kick back...relax...and let all your troubles wash away with the tide.

(The camera continues its pan.)

Narrator: Everyone is taking it easy. Everyone except for...

(A tentacle snaps into view, holding a screaming Bubbles. Pull back quickly to show the owner of the tentacle: a large, brownish-green sea creature with a single red eye, as heavy techno music plays in the background.)

Narrator: ...the Powerpuff Girls!

(Buttercup and Blossom fly in. Buttercup breaks the tentacle holding Bubbles, and both charge in to attack. Blossom smashes through the creature's midsection while Buttercup breaks its teeth and Bubbles hits it in the eye. Next Blossom knocks off one of its fins, and all three close in to deliver the finishing blow. The creature is knocked senseless into the air; when it hits the water, the splash covers the screen.)

(The water drains away to show a frightened man being held at knifepoint. He holds up a watch; the camera turns around to show the perpetrator - it is the Gangrene Gang, with Ace holding the knife and the watch. They laugh over their deed; then the camera pulls back at ground level. Now we see Blossom's lower half from behind. She and the other girls make short work of the Gang and knock them flying.)

(As the five sail o.c., the scene wipes to a railroad bridge. A train barrels along with it at full speed. Close-up of the engineer, whose expression suddenly changes from calm to panic. Ahead of him, the rails have snapped. The girls fly-in, pulling ahead of the train, and place themselves in the gap to pull the rails straight. Bubbles gets into position just as the train thunders over them.)

(As the end of the train passes into view, the scene wipes to a window washer doing his job on a scaffold high above the street. The ropes fray and break, and he plummets toward the ground; the girls dash in to save him. Blossom catches his abdomen, Buttercup catches his feet, and Bubbles catches his hard hat, which she places back on his head and they lower him. Cut to a dam being attacked by a giant octopus. The girls are on the scene. The octopus is squeezing Blossom and Bubbles and trying to grab Buttercup, but she dodges its strikes and hits it in the head.)

(Cut to a burning building. The girls float above the roof. They inhale deeply, sucking up the fire, and burp a bit after doing so. Bubbles spits out a puff of smoke. Now Earth is seen from outer space, with a label pointing to it. The girls fly into view, wearing spacesuits. The faceplates of their helmets are the same color as their eyes and dresses, and the helmets themselves are contoured to fit some part of their hair—Blossom’s bow, Bubbles’ pigtails, the back of Buttercup’s flip. A flaming meteor thunders toward Earth, but is reduced to dust by one good hit from the girls.)

(Cut to Mojo’s lair, where he swings a stick at them. They move in quickly, and the screen explodes into stars. An alarm goes off, and the camera turns down to show the building as a bank, that being the Bank of the Imperial Garden. Three masked robbers back out the front door, with guns drawn and bags of money in hand. One of them laughs.)

Robber: Thanks for the loot, suckers!

(Pan left slightly to bring a waiting van into view. The men climb into its open back doors and speed off. Inside, they and the driver laugh over the heist. This last one has a mask on as well, but pushes it up for a better view as they make their getaway. The girls appear.)

Driver, robbers: (horrified) The Powerpuff Girls!

(The driver brings the van to a screeching halt, and all four men bail to escape the Girls hopefully on foot. The driver and the robbers run in opposite directions. The Girls are quick to react to the bad guys splitting up.)

Blossom: Oh, no! You guys go left. (Her sisters take off.) I'll take right.

(She stomps the pavement, creating a long fissure that extends toward the driver. The camera pans quickly to follow. He gets his foot caught at the end of the crack and tumbles headlong down the street, yelling in pain and surprise. Cut to the three robbers as they flee the scene in the opposite direction of the driver, then to Bubbles and Buttercup in flight.)

Buttercup: Quick! Fastball Special!

(Bubbles literally bends over backward to curl into a tight ball, and Buttercup grabs her and throws. She bounces along after them as they run o.c. Cut to a patch of empty space above the street. We hear a sound as of a bowling ball crashing into pins, and the robbers are thrown up into view and fall down again. A clean strike.)

(Cut to another fiery meteor soaring through the sky. The girls fire their eye lasers at it, reducing it to pebble size by the time it reaches the ground in the streets of Townsville. In the forest, a large grizzly bear rears up over a man and roars; the girls arrive, and Buttercup roars right back, even more loudly. The bear turns and runs, yelping, and the man and her sisters applaud her performance.)

(Back in the city, an armed robber with a sack of cash runs along the sidewalk as an alarm rings. He passes Bubbles, who trips him and sends the loot flying, and lands at the feet of Blossom and Buttercup. The former catches the money, and the latter thumps him under the chin before he hits the ground.)

(A hot-air balloon floats through the sky. It bursts; the girls turn around, alarmed. The balloon's basket falls, its occupant holding a teapot and cup and not seeming particularly distressed. Blossom dives in and catches the rig, and the remains of the balloon settle over the man as Bubbles and Buttercup watch.)

(The music reaches a dramatic climax. Inside a bank, Buttercup throws herself on a bomb, which promptly explodes. In the street, the Talking Dog sits in the path of a speeding car; Bubbles pulls him to safety. Blossom saves a baby from a burning building and passes it to a fireman. The screen is briefly engulfed in flames. When the fire dies down, the Powerpuff Girls logo appears. Familiar giggling of three little girls is heard, as the words "Power of Four" appears below the Powerpuff logo and a few notes of the theme song come ringing through.)

(We see the girls floating in midair and looking exhausted. Blossom's hair bow no longer stands up but seems to sag under its own weight. After a moment, they open their eyes in surprise; pull back quickly to show the city below them in utter peril. Most of it is on fire, a monster roars in the background, and an airplane crashes behind them. They sigh wearily.)

(Dissolve to the exterior of their house; they float slowly in through the bedroom windows. Inside, they crash out in the darkened room: Buttercup on the bed, Blossom, and Bubbles on the floor. The door opens, throwing a shaft of light across them, and the Professor pokes his head in.)

Professor: Hello, my little angels. Welcome home. Big day out saving the world? Oh, that's nice. But don't forget. (rapid fire; the girls' eyes pop open) You need to clean your room, wash the dishes, take out the trash, finish your homework...

(As he continues, pull back to show the hotline. It starts buzzing.)

Professor: ...fix the roof, eat your dinner, clean your plates, sweep the floors, brush your teeth...

(Close-up of the girls. The hotline keeps buzzing and the Professor continues reeling off chores behind them as they address each other.)

Buttercup: (moaning) I can't take this anymore!

Bubbles: (wearily) Yeah, I'm Power-pooped.

Blossom: I know we're overworked, but what can we do?

Buttercup: We need some help!

Bubbles: Yeah, three Puffs aren't enough. We need help from my new friend, Bliss! (whispering) She's a teenager. She has trouble controlling her emotions.

Professor: ...answer the hotline, and save the world.

Mojo Jojo: Oh, Powerpuff Girls.

Professor: Mojo Jojo?!

Mojo: (holding the flask of Antidote X) I will finally defeat the Powerpuff Girls with Antidote “X”!

Bubbles: Bliss. Please.

(Mojo ready to hurl the contents of Antidote X when a bright flash of light appears.)

Bliss: (Appears after the bright light disappears) Nobody... messes with... my sisters!

Blossom and Buttercup: Sisters?

Bubbles: Sisters?

Mojo Jojo: Bliss?

Professor: (Gasps in shock) Blisstina?

Blossom and Buttercup: Blisstina?

Bubbles: (MIH comes out of Bliss's hair) MIH.

Bliss: Dad.

Blossom and Buttercup: Dad?

Professor: (Stammers) I-I... I'm sorry. (Takes out his pen and immobilizes Bliss as Blossom and Buttercup scream, as Bliss falls onto the floor unconscious) She'll be safe now.

(The Eds are outside the Powerpuff Girls' house)

Eddy: The Powerpuff Girls are Too Pooped to Puff.

Ed: They need some help.

Edd: What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice.

Ed: Accidentally add a drop of Chemical X.

(Their eyes go wide, and they smile at each other as they get an idea. Fade to black.)

(Bliss is seen sleeping in a stasis bubble as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup watch, the Professor on the lab computer going through it taking a small paper certificate after it prints.)

Bubbles: Professor, what's going on?

Professor: (Walking away) Not now, Bubbles.

(Back to Blossom and Buttercup)

Blossom: Wow, Bliss is our sister?

Bubbles: (Floats back to her sisters) I wish Bliss told me that when she was imaginary. She was always saying, "Don't tell the Professor I'm here, I'm his daughter." That makes me her sister. (Sighs with her head down and back to her normal behavior) But hey, at least you all know I'm not crazy anymore, right?

Buttercup: (Doleful as well as Blossom) No.

Bubbles: (Pointing MIH out who is on a stool) But she even has a teeny elephant just like I said. (Startling MIH) Hi, cutie!

Professor: (Takes MIH with a chopper) Girls, you need to be careful. (Puts MIH in the stasis bubble) This is a very dangerous situation. (MIH yawns)

Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and the Professor: (With cute eyes) Aw!

Professor: (Recovers) Okay, now back to the matter at hand.

Buttercup: Professor, who is she?

Professor: No more questions, girls. (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup zip back to him)

Blossom: Why didn't you tell us we had a sister?

Buttercup: Where did she come from?

Bubbles: And why is she locked in that thing?

Professor: (Sighs) All right. (Opens a draw and takes out a newspaper and puts it on the counter) It all started 10 years ago. I was locked in a bitterly rivalry with Professor Newtronium. She had just completed her work on creating the Perfect Little Boy. He could fly and stuff. (Memory flashback similar to the Powerpuff Girls theme song starts) So I set out to to create the Perfect Little Girl who could fly further and stuff. I had added the three essential ingredients—sugar, spice, and everything nice. I was busy working on my formula for the perfect little girl, but I accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction--Chemical W. Thus the Perfect Little Girl was born. (Memory paused)

Blossom: Wait a minute. You spilled Chemical X when you made us. You made the same mistake twice?

Professor: (Nervous and confused) Uh, twenty-two times, actually. (The broken spilled chemicals are shown) I had some difficulty with chemicals A through V. (An insect steps into a chemical, turns superpowered, and flies away)

Blossom: You should really clean that up.

Professor: Uh, yeah. (turns serious) Now, back to the story. (Memory plays again) Her name was Blisstina Francesca Francia Mariam Alicia Utonium, but I called her Bliss for short. (Memory Professor puts her headband on her head) Oh, she truly was the perfect little girl. Sweet... (Memory Professor, wearing a baseball hat, throwing a baseball that Memory Bliss hits with a baseball bat that destroys a building.) strong... (Memory Professor sits next to the side of Memory Bliss putting an science equation E=MC2 together completing it and they hug.) ...and incredibly smart. She was my favorite little girl. (Memory pauses again)

Buttercup: Favorite? Bliss is your favorite kid?

Professor: Sweetie, I don't have favorites. (laughs nervously and stops) Anyways... (memory plays again as Memory Bliss is teleporting randomly as Memory Professor looks at this worried) All the time, her powers started to evolve. (Memory Bliss teleports next to a flower vase as it falls and breaks on the floor.) But not always for the better. (Memory Bliss cries as her emotion-mixed power makes the entrance of the house explode.) Any emotion. (Memory Professor play talks with puppets tickling Memory Bliss with one making her laugh as her power comes back and destroys the exterior of the house under the windows.) Or mad. (Memory Bliss and Memory Professor are shown in the hall whew she drew pictures on the walls with him pointing her to go to her room making her mad, her power coming back for the third time, making the back of the garage explode.) It caused her to lose control of her powers. (The inside of the house is Halloween decorated as Memory Bliss is sitting on the couch, the Professor coming out from behind it wearing a monster mask growling at her making her scream in fear, her power coming back for the fourth time.)

Memory Professor: (Fearfully) No! Wait, wait, wait! (The back of the house explodes and back in with a teary-eyed Memory Bliss and a remorseful Memory Professor as they hug.)

Professor: She was scared. I was scared. (In the kitchen in memory during breakfast) It got right to the point where things at any moment could go horribly wrong.

Memory Bliss: Ooh, I want cereal. Aw, there's no milk. I want milk.

Memory Professor: O-okay, honey. O-okay.

Memory Bliss: (Voice) (Her power coming back for the last time) I want milk!

Memory Professor: BLISS, NOOOO!

Memory Bliss: I WANT MILK! (The roof of the house explodes as well as the house, the Memory Professor waking up from the debris of the destroyed house.)

Professor: And when I came too, she was gone. (Memory Professor walks over picking up Memory Bliss' headband in his hand.) I assumed the worst.

Memory Professor: Nooooooooooo!

(Memory flashback ends)

Professor: (Crying as well as the 3 Girls who are sad)

Blossom: Aw, Professor.

Bubbles: We're so sorry.

Buttercup: (crying; punches Bubbles)

Bubbles: (Crying) Ow!

Buttercup: Stop crying, Bubbs.

(All of them recover)

Professor: Girls, I am so happy Bliss is home, but I won't lose her again. That is why she must stay in the stasis field until I'm certain her powers are under control. (Serious) I won't rest until I've helped her. (Close-up of him.) Nothing will distract me.

Mojo: Not even Mojo Jojo. (Mojo's voice draws the Professor attention shortly thereafter.) (Laughs playfully) You girls forget (Bubbles hugs the toy gun) Mojo used to be the Professor's lab assistant Jojo. (Memory flashback. Mojo, as a young monkey, sitting next to a young Memory Bliss, putting E=MC2 together.) Bliss was Jojo's best friend.

Young Memory Bliss: (Zips to the kitchen) Ooh, I want cereal. (Voice) Aw, there's no milk. I WANT MILK! (The same emotion-mixed power and explosion from the Professor's memory of her happens off-screen.)

(Jojo looks out from a wall of the destroyed house watching as Young Memory Bliss zips away.)

Mojo Jojo: Mojo was sad to see Bliss fly bye-bye. (Jojo drops a letter dice from his mouth as present-day Mojo Jojo takes the memory land rips it apart like a piece of paper and throws it away.) Now Mojo sees his best friend. Here, but has most, on, curse on enemies.

Professor: Mojo. (pushes Mojo out of his lab, talking fast.) I know I haven't told you, but I've help Bliss.

Bubbles: I always wanted a big sister. Maybe she can teach us about boys.

Blossom: Or how to drive a car.

Buttercup: Or how to hit a boy with a car.

(Floating to the stasis bubble around Bliss)

Blossom: I wonder if her powers are really as dangerous as the Professor says they are.

(Bliss and MIH wake up scared, Bliss screaming as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup scream as well. All 4 of them continue screaming as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup hug each other, MIH screaming after they stop. Bliss punches every side of the stasis bubble trying to get out but can't, stopping.)

Bliss: I'm trapped! Let me out!

Blossom: WE CAN'T. THE PROFESSOR SAYS YOUR POWERS ARE DANGEROUS!

Bliss: MY POWERS ARE DANGEROUS. THAT'S WHY YOU SHOULD LET ME OUT!

Blossom: THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!

Bubbles: WHY IS EVERYBODY YELLING?! (calms down) Oh, 'cause we're fighting like a real family.

Blossom: We're sisters, Bliss. Why would you want to leave when we just met you?

Buttercup: Yeah, does Blossom smell that bad?

Blossom: Hey!

Bliss: (Rapidly) No, no, no, you-you don't understand. Let me explain. (memory flashback) A long time ago, the Professor made me. I was the Perfect Little Girl. Sweet, strong, and incredibly smart. (memory paused)

Buttercup: (Voice) We heard that part already.

Bliss: (Voice) Uh, okay. (memory flash-forward)

Memory Bliss: I WANT MILK! (Same memory before the Professor's story of what happened before it ended happens again and stops at the entire exploded house and debris.)

Bliss: My powers were too dangerous. I destroyed everything I touched. And if I stayed, I just... (Memory Bliss zips away as the Memory Professor wakes up) I could never hurt the Professor ever again. So I ran away to a place where my powers would never be a danger to anyone, (A beautiful place is shown as Memory Bliss arrives and stops there walking towards it.) a deserted island covered in beautiful obsidian and lush vegetation not that you'd ever notice. Bird Poop Island. I made the island my home. (Memory Bliss' power explodes as the trees are burned and charred) And it didn't matter if I couldn't control my powers because I was all alone. (A trunk noise is heard from behind Memory Bliss as she turns around to look.) But I wasn't lonely for long because someone very special came into my life.

Buttercup: (As a sasquatch, leprechaun, and a brick with glasses landing on the sasquatch's head appearing at the same time.) A sasquatch, a leprechaun, and a brick? With a devil-may-care attitude. Chi-chi-chica. (Memory paused)

Blossom: Buttercup, let her tell the story.

Buttercup: Fine.

Bliss: (Holding MIH) That's when I met MIH. (MIH yawns and blows his trunk) My pet elephant.

Buttercup: And MIH is best friends with the brick that (Blossom, annoyed, looks at her) has a devil-may-care... Chi-chi-chica.

(Memory plays again)

Bliss: MIH didn't care if I (Memory Bliss hugs MIH close to her her power returning, not destroying anything this time, but only as a fire explosion.) couldn't control my powers. (Memory Bliss, a bit shocked, smiles, MIH happily blowing his trunk)

(On the beach)

Memory Bliss: (Voice, throwing a stick) Go get it, boy. (MIH gets the stick and goes back playfully as they continue)

Bliss: MIH and I were the best of friends. We spent many years together on the island, now we had so so much fun, (Memory Bliss transitions to a teenager) but as time went on, I couldn't help but think about home. (Memory teenage Bliss sighs as a light shines) And the Professor.

Memory Teenage Bliss: (Gasps as she sees the shadow in the light take shape of the Professor, looking behind herself.) Dad? (The light goes away as the shoadow is revealed to be just a bald eagle on a rock volcano which screeches and flies away as Memory Bliss is a bit shocked and looks to MIH who blows his trunk, as the both of them hug.)

Bliss: With MIH's support, I decided to go back to Townsville just to make sure the Professor was okay. (Memory teenage Bliss zips back home and sees Bubbles through the window as they both look at each other.)

Bubbles: Huh?

Memory Teenage Bliss: Huh?

(Memory ends, back to reality.)

Bliss: But now I realize it was a mistake. You have to let me go!

Bubbles: (Softly spins to the stasis bubble) You can't leave. You're family.

Bliss: Family?
