## Mojo Jojo

* The hobo "fomo"-ly known as Jojo is "nomo"! From this day "fowo", I shall be known as... MOJO JOJO!
* For too long, apes and monkeys have been under the thumb of man! Well, the time has come to oppose that thumb, and take back what is rightfully ours: THE WORLD!
* [tilting the Professor's neck] That's better. It's good you little freaks know when you're beaten. Now if you'll excuse me, I, Mojo Jojo, have a town to take over. I have a world to conquer! I have to seize control of an area and force its inhabitants to follow my way of thinking!
* As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted, I, Mojo Jojo, have succeeded in my first, greatest, and most brilliant plan ever! And I, Mojo Jojo, shall be king!
* NOOOOO!!! Stop! Cease! Desist! Do not continue with your ramblings, for my ramblings are the ramblings to obeyed! For I am the king, supreme leader, and all-around dictator! For I am the mastermind, the genius, and all-around visionary! It was I who laid the original plan and set it into motion! DON'T YOU SEE?! All you monkeys are my plan! So your plans are my plans, because you made plans and my plan was to make you! I never planned for my plans to make plans to stop my plan! I plan to rule the planet, not to have my plans plan to stop me! The planner of you! So stop, cease, desist! I am your creator! I am your king! I am MOJO JOJO! OBEY MEEEEEEEEEE!!!

## Dialogue

    Bubbles: Hmm...I think it's a little dark.
    Buttercup: Well, I like it dark.
    Blossom: Some windows might be nice.
    Professor: Yeah. I could see some windows [walking into view, indicating a spot] right about here. I'll call a contractor tomo- [cuts himself off suddenly; back to the girls, whose eyes have begun to glow red, their lasers warm up. Cut to the exterior of the house as their beams, in a row, pierce the wall and trace out one large circle each. The cut sections tumble to the front lawn after the girls stop firing; inside, the Professor cowers near one of the openings, his hair singed and total shock written all over his face. The cut edges still glow red from the heat, and wisps of smoke rise around him] Or, heh, that works, too. [the red glow stops; he regains his composure] Who's hungry?
    [Cut to the kitchen]
    Blossom: [holding a loaf of bread] Ready?
    Bubbles and Buttercup: [holding 2 jars of peanut butter and jelly] Ready.
    Blossom: Go!
    [She machine-guns slices of bread at her sisters, who in turn fire back with globs of peanut butter and jelly. When he closes the fridge and turns to face the camera, with an armload of milk and fruit, he throws himself back against the door to try and avoid the barrage. The components collide in midair and fall to the kitchen table to form a tall stack of PB&J sandwiches; the girls, sitting around the table, then strafe this with their eye lasers and the crusts fall off, neatly trimmed. They are a bit taken aback at the approach of the Professor, whose splattered face and clothes show that he was unable to get out of the line of fire. He smiles and sets down a tray with three glasses of milk and the carton. Cut to the exterior of the house as the laughter of all four makes itself heard from inside. It dies away after a moment, and the sky fades into evening while the house lights come on. Inside, he walks into the living room and wipes his hands on a towel. He has cleaned up and again taken off the coat and rolled up his sleeves]
    Professor: Okay, girls. Time for... [once again he stops short; this time, the reason is that all three of them have completely conked out. Blossom, on the floor, has books and notes piled around her; Buttercup is on the couch, with various action toys nearby and the TV remote in her hand; Bubbles, also on the floor, has crayons and paper scattered about, and Octi is nearby as well. Close-up of Blossom, panning to each of the others in the order given; softly] ...bed.
    [Cut to the bathroom, where he washes Blossom's face, then to the bed, where he pulls Buttercup's nightgown down over her arms. The last one seen is Bubbles, already in bed and with her clothes changed. He reaches down and tucks Octi under her arm; she smiles and snuggles with the doll. None of the girls looks anywhere close to being awake in this sequence. With all three in bed, he pulls up the blanket to cover them - this is the first time we can see the headboard, which has its trademark pink heart but no PPG initials as in the series. Cut to the bedroom door; now looking tenderly in from outside, he switches off the lights and pulls it shut behind him as the scene fades to black. Snap to the living room, the camera angled up to frame the second-story balcony. The Professor walks away from the door and down the stairs. As he sets to the job of tidying up the clutter left by the girls, he picks up one of Bubbles' drawings and looks at it. His expression melts into one of gentle affection; after a moment, cut to a close-up of the drawing, a rough, scribbly crayon rendition of all four. Fade to black]
    [Snap to the exterior of the house the next morning. Inside, the Professor approaches the girls’ bed, their dresses over his arm, and they wake up]
    Professor: Wake up, girls, Time for school.
    Girls: What's school?
    [The exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten, with the Professor's car parked on the street in front. He and the girls are near the open classroom door, and Ms. Keane is hunched down to the girls. We can hear the other kids in the class laughing and playing inside]
    Ms. Keane: This is school. I'm your teacher, Ms. Keane, and this is where kids come to learn. [gesturing toward door] See?
    [Inside, the other kids are doing various things: reading, drawing, playing with toys, and so forth. Mitch Mitchellson and Harry Pitt are among them. One boy approaches]
    Boy: Hey, you wanna play?
    [The girls think it over for a moment, then look eagerly up at Ms. Keane, who nods happily. Giggling, they follow the boy]
    Professor: [nervously] Um...do you think they'll be okay? 'Cause I'm new at this parenting thing, and I wanted to come and meet you and see them off on their first day 'cause they're really special. I mean, really special, and I just want to make sure they'll be okay. So what do you think? Do you think they'll be...okay?
    Ms. Keane: They'll be just fine, Professor. We'll see you at noon.
    Professor: Okay. Bye, girls! Bye! Bye! Bye-bye! Bye! Bye!
    [Through this last, she rolls her eyes and pushes him gently but firmly out the door. Walking back in, she closes it and turns her attention to the class]
    Ms. Keane: Okay, class, take your seats.
    Girl 1: Ms. Keane, can Blossom sit with us?
    Girl 2: [pulls Bubbles] Can we sit with Bubbles?
    Mitch Mitchelson: Can Buttercup sit over here?
    Ms. Keane: [gathers up the girls to the center where they sit at the table] The girls can sit right here in the middle, so they'll be next to everyone!
    Class: Yay!
    Ms. Keane: [now at the chalkboard] Now, let's begin!
    Mayor of Townsville: Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. [the girls again. Now the Professor has to dodge wrecked cars and craters as he drives. Cut to a set of doors at the top of a staircase inside Townsville Hall; these are thrown open by the Mayor, who then descends the steps] Oh boy.
    Sara Bellum: [catches him up to him with a clipboard in her hand] "Oh boy" is right, Mayor. It's terrible, the town is being destroyed by three girls with freakish powers. This is a very serious situation. What action do you propose we take?
    [Mojo climbs a building while gripping the girls in a King Kong like manner]
    Mojo: Fools! You dare to challenge ME?! [carrying them through the city] Attempt to defeat ME?! Try to destroy ME?! I who saved you from certain death! After all I've done for you, YOU BETRAY ME?! AND WHY?! [rips open the building's side, revealing a group of scared citizens] For them? The ones who hated you? Have forsaken you?
    [Back to him; he keeps climbing and reaches the spire at the top. The girls’ eyes are shut tight.]
    Mojo: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.
    [Long pause as the girls shake furiously in Mojo's fist before breaking themselves free]
    Girls: NOOOOOOO!!!
    [They proceed to beat him up]
    Blossom: We'd never join you! And it’s because we are stronger!
    Bubbles: Because we are invincible!
    Buttercup: Because we have the power!
    Girls: WE HAVE TO PROTECT THEM FROM YOU!
    Blossom: It’s YOU who is to be feared!
    Bubbles: Cause you ARE a monster!
    Buttercup: You ARE evil!
    Girls: AND YOU!...ARE!... [tap him on the side] ...It!
    Mojo: [falls from the building] CURRRRRSEEEESSSSSSS...!!!
