04x04 - Him Diddle Riddle

[bunniefuu]

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!

BLOSSOM:
The city of Townsville
could be in grave danger,

and we've only
been given two minutes

to solve this riddle.

Ok, ok.

What's big and
yellow with 65 eyes,

traveling the city
to meet its demise?

[footsteps pounding]

[monster screams]

Yeah!

That was easy.

And with 45 seconds
to spare.

BUBBLES:
Hey!

This guy
only has 60 eyes.

Liar!

Then count 'em.





Blossom, she's right!

If that's not it,
what could it be?

The school bus is big
and yellow.

Let's go!

BLOSSOM:
There are 32 kids on board.

That makes 64 eyes.

BUTTERCUP:
But with the bus driver,
it makes 60--

Hi, girls.

GIRLS:


Aah!



[screaming]

HIM:
Congratulations.

One down, 8 to go.

And remember,

you must solve these riddles
within the time limit.

Fail in any respect,
and the Professor will pay.

You tell us where
the Professor is, Him!

Uh-uh-uh.

You've brought joy to the people
for so many years.

Now to their eyes,
you must bring tears.

You've got two minutes.

That's easy.

One down,


My puppy's lost.

Oh, no!

Why?

Why?

I don't know if this is
the right way to do this.

Your puppy is lost.

You're right.
It'll take too long.

There's got to be
another way.

Think, think.

Blossom!

What has to your eyes
brought tears?

That's it!

To the lake!

Him didn't say to make tears
come from their eyes,

but to bring tears
to them.

[thunder]

Now what?

A little
static electricity.

GIRLS:
Yeah!

HIM:
Very clever.

Now, you got that one
without trying.

Now do this without flying.

Go to the corner
of Chang and Ching.

There on the street,
the phone will ring.

"What then?" you might ask.

Answer the phone
to get your next task.

You've got 3 minutes.

[ring]

[ring]



Come on, girls.
Let's run for it.

We'll never make it.

The subway's
the fastest.

I like ponies.

All right, all right!

We're not gonna save
the Professor by standing here.

We'll split up.

We'll take our own ways.

First one there,
answer the phone.

Go!

[ring]

[ring]

Ah, you've gotta
be kidding.

[ring]

[ring]

The city
needs your help.

Get me to Chinatown,
and step on it.

[horn honking]

[ring]

[horse neighs]

BUBBLES:
Pony!

[honk]

[ring]

Hi.

Are you
Buttercup?

[horse neighs]

[neigh]

[ring]

Hurry! Go through
the alley.

[honk]

[crash]

[panting]

[panting]

[panting]

[ring]

[ring]

[ring]

Hello?

We did it, Him.

Now what?

Well, well.

Presidential fitness
awards all around.

Now let's exercise
your brain.

Train "A" left Pokey Oaks
train station at 11:40

at 100 miles per hour.

Train "B" left Norwalk Station


at 90 miles per hour,
heading towards train "A."

Where will they collide?

Math?

I hate math!

Bubbles, think of
the Professor.

HIM:
You've got one minute.

Can't you abacus
a little faster?

Abacus my foot.

Come on, come on.

Hurry, Blossom.

I've got it!

You figured it out?
Nope.

We're superheroes.

Let's just find the two trains
and stop them.

[whistle blows]

Oh, come on.

[whistle blows]

ALL:
Hooray!

Well, girls,

you caught these
two trains

right on time.

We're finished
with this nonsense, Him.

Now, where's the Professor?

But I've only
just started.

In the ear of corn,
you will find

happiness, joy,
and the ties that bind.

Squirrels store nuts,
and birds sing songs,

but in the cave of eternity,
everyone's wrong.

On the limb of a tree,

there's a monkey
who's free,

and there he will give you
something for me.

You've got
two minutes, 45 seconds.

[ticking]

[panting]

I can't believe you
got that one right.

[gasp]

You got the right flavor
and everything.

We'd go to the ends
of the Earth for the Professor.

Touching.

Now here's something
I hope you'll really enjoy.

[girls gasp]
Ms. Keane!

Yes'm.

The real Ms. Keane
will tell you the truth.

The fake one will
tell you a lie.

Discover which is
your beloved teacher,

and she'll be saved.

Fail, and they both
will be dropped

into this vat
of boiling sharks.

Please save me, girls.

You may ask them
only one question,

so make it count!



This one's easy.

All we have to do is ask which one
is the real Ms. Keane.

Not quite, Bubbles.

The one that lies will just tell us
she's the real Ms. Keane.

Yeah, don't be
stupid, Bubbles.

I'll just ask which one wants
a knuckle sandwich.

Same problem,
Buttercup.

We need a question they'll have
to answer differently.

I know, I know!

Let's ask what
their favorite color is.

And just where
will that get us?

I thought it would be
nice to know.

Not so easy,
is it?

Time's running out.

Oh, oh, I know! I know!

Ms. Keanes,

who will the other
Ms. Keane say is the real Ms. Keane?

She would say that
I was the real Ms. Keane.

And she would say that
she was the real Ms. Keane.

It's so apparent!

It's obvious that
the liar would say

that the real Ms. Keane
would say that the fake Ms. Keane

is the real Ms. Keane.

And conversely,
the real Ms. Keane would say

that the fake Ms. Keane
would say

she is
the real Ms. Keane.

So therefore the real Ms. Keane
is none other than...

number two.

She's right.

[ticking]

Right on time.

High-five!

Bring on the next riddle,
evil dude. I'm smokin'.

You think
you're so smart...

then let's see how you score
on the S.A.T.s.

What?

Considering
your educational level,

you must collectively
score 100 points.

You have one minute.

Begin.

Time's up.

Huh?

Put your number two pencils down
and pass your papers forward.

Let's start with Buttercup's
results, shall we?



Ha ha ha.

Next, Blossom's.



- What?
- Ha!

And finally,

Bubbles.

Oh, no.

The Professor's
a goner.

- Huh?
- Huh?

- Huh?
- Ha!

Well, I'll be darned.

You will not defeat me,
you little brats.

The Professor
will pay.

Let's see if you can
defeat this monster.

[roars]

No problem.

Ha ha ha!

You didn't
let me finish.

You must get rid of
this little guy

without using
your superpowers.

Again, no problem.

[roar]

Uh, this might
be a problem.

Baloney!
Let's go for it.

[girls screaming]

Ahh!

Yah!

Grr.

[clocks ticking, chiming,
and cuckooing]

This is hopeless.

We're gonna
lose the Professor.

We're not giving up
that easy.

We need to approach this
from a different angle.

I'm going
for the head.

[ding]

What the heck are
we supposed to do?

Here's a fruit c*ck,
you beast!

Hi-yah!

How do you like
them apples?

We're gonna need something
a lot bigger than apples.

How about grapefruit,
then?

Yah!

Yah!

Whoa.

[vomits]

Ha ha ha!

[ding]

Ha!

Ha!

Ow ow ow ow.

Oh. Huh?

Taxi!

Where to?

To the airport,
and step on it!

Did we make it?

[ticking]

No!

You brats shouldn't have
gotten this far!

One riddle left, Him,

and the Professor is
as good as ours.

We'll see,
won't we?

You will find your Professor
when you solve this last rhyme.

Where is boiling and freezing
at the same time?

Ha ha ha!

The Professor
will pay!



[ticking]

Boiling and freezing.
Boiling and freezing.

What could
that mean?

MAYOR:
It's coordinates.

GIRLS:
Huh?

Sure,
it's cold.

The freezing point of water
is 32 degrees Fahrenheit,

while the boiling point
is 212 degrees.


of the Greenwich mean time

on the longitudinal
axis

by 32 degrees north
of the equator on the latitudinal axis

maps a specific point
on the globe,

that point being right here
in the city of Townsville--

the intersection of
Lincoln and Main, to be exact.

Or it could be there's
an ice cream truck on fire somewhere.

Have a nice day,
girls.

Ok, girls.
Keep a sharp lookout.

Look!

BUTTERCUP:
The Rite On-Time diner.

BLOSSOM:
And we're right on time, too.
Let's go!

All right, hand over
the Professor, Him!

Something tells me
this isn't the right place.

MAN:
Aah!

BLOSSOM:
They're at the Otto Time diner.

And we're out of time!

Ok, Him, hand over
the Professor.

Girls!

Too late, girls.
You failed.

The Professor
is going to pay.

Ha ha ha!

[gasp]
No!

Professor!

HIM:
Ha ha ha!

Time to pay!

That'll be 7.95, please.

GIRLS:
Say what?

You see,

I bet the Professor here
a free breakfast

if you girls could solve
all of my riddles,

but you failed.

And now he has to
pay full price.

Here's your money, Him.

Your flapjacks are good,
but not that good.

I'm never eating here
again.

Come on, girls.
Let's go eat at the other restaurant.

HIM:
Wait! Wait! Come back!

I'll make my flapjacks
cheaper.

NARRATOR:
And so the...

hmm...

Yeah.
