02x04 - Beat Your Greens/Down n' Dirty

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: Sugar,

spice...

and everything nice.

These were
the ingredients chosen

to create
the perfect little girl.

But Professor Utonium
accidentally added

an extra ingredient
to the concoction...

Chemical-X.

[expl*si*n]

Thus the Powerpuff Girls
were born!

Using their ultra-superpowers,

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup
have dedicated their lives

to fighting crime
and the forces of evil!

Narrator: The city of Townsville
in all of its glory.

It is the setting
of this little story.

Let us begin on the back
of the globe,

where people
are dressed in P.J. and robe.

They kick off their slippers
and climb into beds,

fluff up their pillows,
and lay down their heads.

Now everyone is ready
to sleep for the night.

Enter the Sandman
to do them up right.

Reaching into his bag
with his free hand,

he pulls out a magical
brown grain of sand.

A piece in the eyes,
the left and the right,

and out goes the victim,
asleep for the night.

And so on to every home
in every city,

the Sandman does his job,
singing his ditty.

Sandman: ♪ I'm a little Sandman,
that's no doubt ♪

♪ Puttin' you to sleep
is what I'm about ♪

♪ When your eyes get heavy,
don't you pout ♪

♪ I'll show up
and put you out ♪

♪ Sha ma na na
la la la la la ♪

Narrator: The Sandman finishes
with no time to spare,

and poof! He disappears
back to his lair.

Just as soon as
the Sandman gets back,

he scratches his fanny
and heads for the sack.

But before he can reach
that place so desired,

again he must go
where sleep is required.

Clang! Clang! Clang!
Goes the alarm.
Oh, what a pain.

It seems they're going
to bed in Ukraine.

That task done,
it's time to get going.

Look at those eyes.
I think that's fatigue showing.

So back to the sanctity
of his lair

for some well-deserved sleep.
It's only fair.

As he's about to catch up on
the sleep that he's missed,

off goes the mini alarm
he wears on his wrist.

Who is it now pulling him
away from his home?

Why, it's the Italians going
el snoozo in Rome.

Adhering to the schedule
he has stuck to,

off he goes to put them
asleep in Timbuktu.

Hitting every city in the world,
it's no joke...

London, Paris, Cairo,
even Royal Oak.

So it goes 24 hours a day
without pause,


unlike that Santy Claus.

Meanwhile, back in the city
we all love and know...

more specifically,
the Utonium chateau...

where the girls
are still making a clatter,

in pops the Professor
to see what's the matter.

Girls,
what's the noise?
It's time for bed.

We're not
sleepy.

We want to stay up
instead.

Well, you know,
that's all dandy
and fine.

Into bed.
That's the
bottom line.

Girls: But, Professor...

No buts,
and I mean it.

Does anybody want
a peanut?

I want you
in bed. That's
my final warning.

Don't you know
I've got work
in the morning?

Narrator: And with that,
he closes the door tight

and tucks himself in
to sleep for the night.

Back in his lair,
the Sandman tries the same.

But off goes the alarm...
Townsville to blame.

That's it!
No more! I quit!

I never get to sleep,
and I'm tired of it!

Wait! I've an idea
that just might work...

He said with an evil,
toothy kind of smirk.

I'll build a machine.
Oh, this is so clever.

A machine that will put
them all to sleep forever!

And so it is built
just as he planned,

a machine to sprinkle
the world with his sand.

He punches the numbers
and pulls down the handle.

Out goes the world,
just like a candle.

I did it! I did it!
Now I can hit the hay!

I think I'll sleep
an extra 17 hours a day.

Narrator: But before he can
enjoy the fruit of his pains,

off goes the alarm.
Someone remains.

Oh! Who's still awake?

He said with remorse.

Why, it's the Powerpuff Girls,
with insomnia, of course.

Oh, those brats
are ruining my ploy.

By staying awake,
they're stealing my joy!

I'll pay them a visit...
a little house call...

And take care of this matter
once and for all!

Back in their room,
the girls continue playing,

when all of a sudden,
they hear someone saying...

Sandman: You 3 girls
are ruining my plan.

Now, get into bed
as quick as you can!

Who are you to make us?

Buttercup did exclaim.

Why, I'm the Sandman...
the one and the same.

I come to you now
with only one dream,

which is why
I hatched up this
wonderful scheme.

I want to sleep and doze
and slumber and nap,

so I put the world
to sleep. It was a snap.

Forever they'll sleep.
That, I've no doubt.

And you 3 girls
I'll also put out!

We've got to stop
this awful oppressor!

Bubbles, Buttercup,
wake the Professor!

You can try
and wake him,
try as you might,

but I guarantee you,
he's out like a light.

Narrator: To put them to sleep
is the reason he came,

so he pulls out his weapon
and takes sharp aim.

The girls fly up
in typical formation

to stop the Sandman
and his evil creation.

Sandman: Hold still, now!
I've just about enough!

Blossom: You can't
hurt us, because
we're the Powerpuff...

Narrator: But before the girls
can finish their call,

the Sandman finishes them
once and for all.

Victory is mine!
I've won,
that's who.

Now there's only
one thing left
for me to do.

And with that,
he vanishes in thin air...

Most likely to sleep
back at his lair.

So I guess that's it.
What can I say?

Oh, who would have thought
it would have ended this way?

[Girls snoring]

Hey, what are
you two doing in
one of my dreams?

We're having
each other's,
or so it seems.

This is a power
I never knew we had.

It's totally
cool!

Yeah. It ain't
half bad.

But let's get down to
the matter at hand...

how to defeat
that dispenser of sand.

Why don't we just go
and beat him right up?

Always the violent way,
eh, Buttercup?

I've got an idea.
It's way out
of sight.

We'll infiltrate
his dreams and
give him a fright.

Yeah, scare him so bad
that he'll never

want to sleep again!
Bubbles, you're clever!

Careful, Bubbles.
Your ego is showing.

What? Where?

Come on.
Let's get going!

[Clock ticking]

[Clucking]

[Clucking]

[Squawking]

Whoa. Whoa! Whoa!

[Moaning]

[Bubbles growling]

[Clock ticking]

[Alarm bell ringing]

Aaaaahhhhh!

I'm awake! Please stay out
of my dreams.

Never again
will I hatch any schemes.

I'm throwing the switch
and hitting the number

and awaking them all
from eternal slumber.

Oh, would you look at the time?
I got to get cracking.

People are waiting.
My, I've been slacking.

Narrator: And off he goes,
off to his job,

never to sleep again,
the poor slob.

The world awakes
without missing a beat,

unaware of
the Sandman's defeat.

[All speaking
native language]

Yay!
We did it!
We're awake!

I'm pooped.
Let's hit the
hay...
For goodness' sake.

Narrator: And finally,
for all their troubles,

they deserve to sleep...
Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles.

[Rooster crowing]

[Ring]

It's morning, girls.

Oh, how the night
sure flies.

Wake up and rub
the sand from your eyes.

Narrator:
Oh, Professor, perhaps
you'd better turn around,

because while the rest of us
were sleeping sound,

the Earth was saved
just as it twirls,

thanks again
to the Powerpuff Girls.

Narrator: The city of Townsville
has brushed its teeth

and tucked itself into
the warm blanket of night.

But as the city dreams,
a monkey schemes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes! Yes!

No.

Something's amiss.
Let's see.

Girls stand on "X,"

get sucked up to platform,

where I sit poised
with laser g*n.

I activate beam,
and the girls...

fly away. Aaaahhh!

That's where this otherwise
brilliant plan falls apart!

I must find a way
to keep them from
flying away! Hmm.

Ooh! How about flypaper?

No. That's stupid. No.

Now, let's see.

No. No.

[Snoring]

By gum, I've got it!

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah!

Oh, that's it!

Ha ha! Perfect.

Mwah!

Now, I'm going to keep you
safe in here until tomorrow,

when I shall unleash...

[Laughing evilly]

[Snoring]

Narrator: Oh, look.
It's the Amoeba Boys,

Townsville's most pathetic
criminals ever.

They couldn't
commit a crime even if it
smacked them in the face.

Hey!

Hmm...

Uh, what
is it, boss?

I...have no idea.

Duh...uh...
Uh...

Maybe we, uh,
should, uh,
open it?

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!

I knew it!

Just a bunch of fancy words
and numbers.

Phooey!

Hey!

Amoeba Boys,

better watch where
you're throwing
your trash ar...

Wait! Let me
see that.

Oh, boy!

You know
what this is?

It's a scavenger
hunt list!

Oh, a scavenger hunt?
How terrible.

I don't believe in
hunting scavengers.

No, Bubbles.

A scavenger hunt
is when you dig up
stuff nobody wants.

I know.

So you guys must be on
a scavenger hunt, right?

Duh...

Great! We'll help!

Now, the first thing
we have to find is...

[Mojo Jojo growling]

I can't find it.
Where is it?

I just had it!

♪ Oh, where, oh, where
can my perfect plan be? ♪

Blossom: Hmm.
Okay, chewing gum.

Anybody have any
chewing gum?

I do.

Great.

Now we need
paper clips.

Where can we
find paper clips?

Uh...thanks.

A flashlight?

A basketball?

A hat?
A magnet?
A crustacean?

Oh, well.
I'll get the
basketball!

I'll get
the magnet!

I'll get
the crustacean!

Mojo Jojo: I'll get to
the bottom of this!

Nope, not in there.

Nope, not in there.

Nope, not in there!

Ayeeeahhhhh!

Gosh, we're sorry,
Amoeba Boys.

We didn't know you
were under there.

Are you okay?

Yeah. We're...

in a lot of pain.

Come on, guys.

Quit laying around and
let me see the list.

Hey, you know what?

I think we've got
everything.

Hooray!

We hunted
the scavenger.

Great. Can we go?

Blossom:
No, wait. There's
instructions here.

Know what?

I think we're
supposed to put all
this stuff together.

Is that right,
Amoeba Boys?

We're supposed to
build it?

Amoeba Boys:
Duh...uh...

Great! Let's get
started, girls.

Ooh! It's...

Not finished.

Buttercup: Yeah.
The high-tech
laser is missing.

But who has a
high-tech laser?

I know who took my plans.

It was you!

[Tweeting]

Well, then, it was you!

It was all of you!

Oh, the pounding, the pounding!
Why won't it stop?

Why...won't...
this...guy...answer?

Whaaaaaaat?!

Hello.

Please, Mr. Mojo, sir,

could we please borrow
your supercharged
high-tech laser, please?

Okay, okay. Just don't
bother me again.

I'm trying to find
my plans on how
to destroy you.

Girls: Thank you, Mojo!

Girls: Ahh!

Will you look
at that?

Yeah.
What is it?

It looks like
some sort of ride.

Is that right, boys?
Is it a ride?

Duh...

Come on, girls.
This looks like fun!

Amoeba Boys,
now what do we do?

Duh...

Buttercup: Read
the instructions!

Duh...

Oh, go get
the bathtub!

Blossom: No, no, no.
We did that already!

How do we start
the ride?

Duh...
push the red button.

Blossom: Okay!

Girls: Amoeba Boys!

What?

Push the button!

Oh.

Girls: Eww!

Whee!

[Giggling]

Wow!
That was fun!

Yeah, Amoeba Boys,
that was great!

Oh, no! That laser is coming
right toward us.

This is no ride.
This is a Powerpuff
destruction machine!

[Grunting]

Help!
Help!
Help!

[Girls screaming
for help]

Mojo Jojo:
What's all that racket?

My machine!

Duh, look, boss.
I'm driving!

Get out of here.
This is my machine!

Ha ha ha ha!
Now I've got you,
Powerpuff Girls.

It is my plan that
will destroy you,

and then I will
rule the world!

Mojo, you creep!

This is
the Amoebas' plan!

Yeah. You're
just jealous!

No! No! It is mine,
I tell you!

I came up with the crab
and the laser

and even the chewing gum
that holds you!

Chewing gum!
Chewing gum!
Chewing gum!

Girls, chew thinking
what I'm thinking?

Mm-hmm!
Mm-hmm!

Blossom: Well,
Amoeba Boys,

playing dumb
all these years.

Bubbles: When
all the while

you were
criminal
masterminds.

Buttercup:
Looks like it's the
big house for you.

But it is I who planned it!
I did it, not them!

I am the criminal mastermind!
I am the evil genius!

I smart. They dumb.

I am responsible for
trying to destroy you!

Okay. Then you go to jail.

That's right!

Narrator: So once again,

the day is saved
thanks to the Powerpuff Girls!
