Bubbles:
Oh no, look! Mojo’s got Blossom pinned down!

Buttercup:
I have an idea, come on!

[Buttercup lays the bus vertically in front of Blossom. The bus absorbs all of the thorny blows. After a few moments, the assault stops. The dog simply walks off.]

Bubbles:
Do you think he’s finished?

Mojo:
No. But you are!

[Rising up behind the bus, Mojo breathes fire on the girls. A following shot shows the girls, hands together, screaming as the fiery flames scorch them. As the attack stops, Mojo grabs the scorched and dazed girls in one giant hand.]

Mojo:
Fools! You dare to challenge me?! (begins walking with girls in a fist.) Attempt to defeat me?! Try to destroy me?!

[Mojo starts climbing a building, in classic King Kong fashion.]

Mojo:
I, who saved you from certain death? After all, I’ve done for you, you betray me?! And why?!

[Mojo swipes his hand across a floor of the building, revealing a bustling scene of humanity inside, and parades the girls across the scene as he continues to speak. (The people inside are most likely caricatures of the PPG movie staff as creator Craig McCracken is amongst the group.)]

Mojo:
For them? The ones who hated you…have forsaken you? (continues climbing to the building top.) Can’t you see? None of them will ever understand you as I can. For we are kindred spirits, whose powers spring from the same source. So girls, do not make me destroy you, for we are smarter! We are stronger! We are invincible! We have the power! We are superior to them! AND WE SHALL RULE! All we have to do is work together. Girls, join me!

[At this, the girls eyes spring open. They seem to think on this for a second, then their brows furrow as the air around them begins to rumble. Mojo looks concerned as their energy grows. Suddenly, they break free from his grasp in a ball of light, and fly upwards, screaming.]

Girls (All):
NOOOOO!

Blossom:
We’d never join you! And it’s because (flying, hits Mojo) we are stronger!

Bubbles:
(hitting Mojo) Because we are invincible!

Buttercup:
Because … we have the power! (striking Mojo)

Girls (All):
We have to protect them from you!

Blossom:
It’s you who is to be feared!

Bubbles:
Cause you are a monster! (She smashes Mojo’s dome, revealing his brains.)

Buttercup:
You are evil! (She manages to break a couple of his fanged teeth.)

Girls (All):
And you are … (pausing) … it!

[This final push knocks Mojo off balance, and flailing with one arm, the tower he is grasping with the other breaks apart, sending the super-sized simian screaming towards the ground in slow motion.]

Mojo:
CUUUUUUUUUURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!

[At this point, the Professor jumps in the scene on the ground alone, holding a large beaker of black liquid labeled Antidote X (apparently, finding time to devise, create, and transport the new liquid using the remains of a tattered lab in a matter of three minutes).]

Professor:
(rapidly) Girls, girls, where are you? We should try and stop Mojo and I know how! I whipped up an antidote to Chemical X! It will do away with his powers! Girls! Girls! Gi--

[The Professor looks upwards at the falling Mojo.]

Girls (All):
PROFESSOR!

[The girls rapidly swoop to save the Professor. The beaker of antidote X is left behind, and breaks open on the ground right as the monstrous Mojo drops on top of it. The liquid issues outward from the impact, steam emanating from Mojo’s body, which begins to shrink and spark, until it returns to its original size at the center of the pool. A trumpet plays a small pity song in a bit of humor to mark his deposition of power. The now-normal sized Mojo groans in pain and exhaustion. The Professor and the girls watch over this, and he embraces them.]

Professor:
Oh, girls! I’m so sorry for doubting you! You are good! Good, perfect little girls, and I love you!

Girls (All):
We love you too!

Blossom:
And we’re really sorry.

Buttercup:
We messed up really bad.

Bubbles:
But, we’re ready Professor.

[They hunch over the pool of liquid surrounding the prostate Mojo.]

Professor:
Ready?

Blossom:
To take the Antidote X to get rid of our powers.

Bubbles:
If it wasn’t for them, none of this would have happened.

Buttercup:
Besides, maybe everyone would like us more if we were just normal little girls.

Townspeople (in unison): Nooooooo!

[The girls look up in confusion. Around them has formed a large crowd of townspeople, the open space in the middle of them forming a large heart-shaped pattern.]

Girls (All):
Huh?

[At one point in the crowd, the mayor is seen standing next to Ms. Bellum, his arms folded behind him. He acts like a shy little boy, as if he was nervously trying to ask a girl out on a date.]

Mayor:
Umm, well… uhh… don’t do that, ‘cause… that was pretty cool, with the… uhh…

Ms. Bellum:
Girls, I think what the mayor is trying to say is, we’re sorry and thank you.

[The scene switches to several people.]

Ms. Keane:
Yes, that was super! Just super!

Man #5:
Amazing!

Baby lady:
Fantastic!

Man #6:
Wonderful!

Jamaican Lady:
Stupendous!

Jay and Bob look-alikes: You rock!

Dog:
Thank you. (the first words of Talking Dog!)

[The girls stand in the midst of this, taking it all in, their faces contorted not in anger or sadness, but in an ecstatic gleam of surprise and happiness. The mayor, feeling the need to be overly expressive, jumps forward and begins to gesture and imitate the girls actions of just a few minutes ago.]

Mayor:
Oh, yeah! That was awesome! You were all flying, and running, and then (imitating laser blasts) laser eyes! Then, (growls) Bam! And then (laser blasts) and then BAM! You punched that guy! Ehh, remember?

[The girls nod in agreement, a happy, but mildly pitying glance regarding the mayors over exuberance and redundancy.]

Mayor:
Yeah, that was great. Ya know, this town stinks. And I was wondering if maybe sometime we could like call you.. to save the day or whatever.

Girls (All):
(gasping) Can we Professor?

Professor:
Well I don’t know.. Hmm okay! But only if it’s before your bed time!

Girls (All):
Yaaaaaay!

[They fly upwards in sheer exaltation, as the crowd cheers them below. The scene fades to white, then reveals the sun, outside of Malphs market. An elderly lady is pushing a full cart of groceries, before it is stopped by an evil green hand. The shot changes, and the hand belongs to Ace, his Gangrene cronies surrounding him. Inside the Mayors office, he and his assistant hears the womans cries for help. Ms. Bellum points off to the Mayors right, where the newly installed hotline phone is seen.]

[In school, the girls are playing with the other students. By this time, the schoolroom has been fixed, and the girls are fitting in with the other children once again. Playtime is interrupted by the shrill sound and flashing nose of the hotline phone. Back at Malphs, as the Gangrene Gang starts to chow on the ladys foot and tear apart her purse, they suddenly stop and look right, where the three girls are floating in front of them. In rapid fire, Blossom strikes Ace, Bubbles kicks Snake and Grubber with each leg, and Buttercup finishes off Arturo and Big Billy. Jail bars clang behind them, along with their new cellmates, Mojo and Fuzzy. Waving goodbye, the girls speed upwards, zooming over the skyline of Townsville as the narrator returns for the closing dialogue.]
