Transcript:Horrid Henry and the Green Machine

[Scene cuts to Henry watching TV and playing with his race cars. He places Bunny on the race tracks]
TV: Time for the turbo slime booster.
Horrid Henry: Time for the MAC-10 race blaster. [starts race cars]
Perfect Peter: Henry, have you seen Bunny? No! [grabs Bunny] Mum!
Mum: Honestly, Henry, can't you let five minutes go on without doing something horrid?
TV: I just do what I gotta do.
Horrid Henry: I just do what I gotta do.
[Mum turns off the TV]
Horrid Henry: What did you do that for?
Mum: You spent too much time watching TV, Henry.
Horrid Henry: No, I don't.
Mum: When I was your age, we didn't spend all our time playing with electric toys; we made our own fun.
Horrid Henry: What? With a dinosaur bone?
Mum: With our imaginations. Anyway, on a day like this, you should be outside.
Horrid Henry: Hmm. looks a bit chilly to me. Can we put the heating on?
Mum: But it's the middle of summer!
Horrid Henry: So?
Perfect Peter: Mum's right, Henry. If we stop using so much electricity, we can help save the planet! From now on, I'm going to brush my teeth in the dark!
Mum: See, Henry? That's the right attitude. We'll cut down on electricity bills in no time.
Perfect Peter: Oh, yippee! [sing-song] We're saving electricity!
Horrid Henry: But, I'll still have it on for the really important stuff, right? Like the TV, and my race tracks, and...
Mum: Sorry, Henry, no electricity means no electricity, for anything.
Horrid Henry: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[Title card shows]
[Scene cuts to the kitchen. Henry yawns, and gets two slices of bread, but there's no toaster.]
Horrid Henry: Where's the toaster?
Perfect Peter: Ooh, no toaster, Henry, it uses fifteen hundred watts of electricity an hour.
Horrid Henry: What?
Perfect Peter: No, watts.
[Henry groans. When Henry was getting the milk, he drinks it and coughs]
Horrid Henry: The milk's off!
Perfect Peter: Oh, we're not using the fridge anymore. We're saving six hundred and eighty-three thousand watts a year.
Horrid Henry: Oh, why don't you be quiet, worm? That'll save energy, too.
[The scene cuts to the living room. When Henry's trying to turn on the TV, it won't. He stands up and looks at the TV]
Horrid Henry: There's something wrong with the TV.
Perfect Peter: Thirty watts an hour!
[Henry sees that the power socket is blocked]
Horrid Henry: But that's so unfair! What am I supposed to do?
Dad: [chuckles] Don't worry, Henry. There are lots of things you can do without electricity.
Perfect Peter: Ooh look, I found my spinning top!
[Peter activates his spinning top. Enraged, Henry transforms into the Horrid Gorilla and flicks it away, making Peter scream]
Dad: Don't be horrid, Henry. The sooner you get used to our greener lifestyle, the better.
[The scene changes to the hallway. Henry leaps out of the bath with his towel around him]
Horrid Henry: Yeow! The water's freezing!
[Henry stands there, his teeth chattering]
Perfect Peter: [from his bedroom] We don't need hot water, Henry.
[The scene changes to the living room in the evening. Mum, Dad and Peter are reading books and wearing coats and scarves to keep them warm]
Horrid Henry: It's really cold! Can't we at least have the heating on?
Dad: Just put an extra jumper on, Henry.
Horrid Henry: Huh!
[Henry switches off the light as he leaves the room, plunging the family into darkness]
Mum, Dad and Perfect Peter: Hey!
Horrid Henry: Just saving energy.
[The scene changes to Henry's bedroom and shows him putting a coat and scarf on]
Dad: From now on, we're going to go to bed when it gets dark.
Horrid Henry: What? But it's not even five o'clock!
Dad: Goodnight, Henry.
[Dad turns the light off as he leaves the room, closing the door behind him]
Horrid Henry: You are the worst parents in the world!
[The scene shows Fluffy changing the time from night to day, then to the living room]
Horrid Henry: There's nothing to do!
Mum: Why don't you join us? We're making toys out of scrap paper.
Perfect Peter: Look, I made a bunny!
Horrid Henry: [sarcastically] Great, why do you make it a cardboard nappy too?
Mum: Don't be horrid, Henry. Look, you can make a paper aeroplane.
Horrid Henry: [to the audience] I suppose there's nothing better to do.
[The scene shows Mum, Henry and Peter throwing paper aeroplanes around the living room, until Mum snatches Henry's paper aeroplane]
Mum: Right, now let's take it all down to the recycling centre.
Horrid Henry: [to the audience again] I knew it was too good to last.
[The scene changes to show Henry sitting in the car]
Dad: What are you doing in there?
Horrid Henry: Waiting to go to the stupid recycling centre.
Dad: We're not driving Henry, we're walking.
Perfect Peter: And saving five litres of petrol!
[Henry sighs in frustration. The scene changes to the recycling centre, where everyone but Henry is unloading the rubbish. Henry notices a wind turbine]
Windy Wendy: I see you're looking at the Wind-O-Matic 5000.
Horrid Henry: Is it a windmill?
Windy Wendy: Kind of. It's a wind-powered turbine that makes electricity.
Horrid Henry: [excitedly] Electricity? So it's good for the environment and everything?
Windy Wendy: Oh yes, it's a completely green machine. It doesn't harm the planet at all.
[Henry realises this is how they he can get the electricity back on]
Horrid Henry: EUREKA! THAT'S IT!
[Henry shows Dad the wind turbine. The scene transitions to the back garden, where Dad has had one installed]
Dad: Look at that! We're making our own electricity.
Horrid Henry: Yay! Now I can catch up on watching Gross Class Zero and play racetracks and have toast for breakfast! Wahoo!
[Henry runs back inside the house. The scene changes to the living room, where Henry and Ralph are watching Gross Class Zero while playing with the racetrack and eating toast]
TV: Snot, bogeys, fart, poo!
Horrid Henry and Rude Ralph: We're all sick and so are you! GROSS!
[They continue playing until the racetrack comes to a halt and the TV turns off]
TV: Snot, bogeys, fart, poo... [the screen goes blank]
Horrid Henry: Oh no, we must have drained all the power!
[The scene changes to the back garden, where Henry, Ralph and Peter are looking up at the wind turbine, which isn't rotating]
Horrid Henry: I don't get it. It's supposed to be making all the electricity we need.
Rude Ralph: Why do you need to make electricity? It's just... there isn't it?
Perfect Peter: We're saving energy. Our house runs on wind power!
Horrid Henry: Except it's not running at all. The TV hardly works and the racetracks is stuck in first gear!
Perfect Peter: [chuckles] I think you need a lot more wind to power all that!
Horrid Henry: Oh, this is so unfair! How are we going to make more wind? [Henry and Ralph look at each other and get an idea] What would Fred Fartwell do?
[The scene changes to the kitchen, where Henry, Ralph, Fluffy and Fang are eating baked beans]
Horrid Henry: Mum and Dad want wind power, they're gonna get wind power!
[Back in the garden, Henry, Ralph, Fluffy and Fang are farting, the wind from their farts turning the wind turbine slowly, while creating a thick cloud of fart gas around them]
Horrid Henry: Phwoar! Wait a minute, if we're out here farting, we can't be inside watching TV!
[Henry and Ralph dash back into the living room, where the TV barely turns on]
Rude Ralph: It's already out of power!
[Henry goes over to the window and sees Brainy Brian walking past]
Horrid Henry: Brainy Brian to the rescue!
[In the garden, the wind turbine is turning faster as Brian has connected it to a bicycle he is pedalling]
Brainy Brian: It's simple really - wind power meets pedal power.
Horrid Henry: Um, well, we should really test it out properly. You keep pedalling, while Ralph and I check to see if everything's working.
Rude Ralph: Probably best to pedal as hard as you can.
[Henry and Ralph sneak away. Brainy Brian is shown pedalling as hard as he can with the wind turbine spinning at full speed, while Henry and Ralph play with the racetracks, eat toast and watch TV]
Rude Ralph: This is great! But what are we gonna do when Brian goes home? He's not gonna stay out there forever.
Horrid Henry: Don't worry, I have a plan.
[Later, Brian is exhausted and limps away as Aerobic Al takes over]
Horrid Henry: Thought you might like a go on my special new super-modified exercise bike, Al.
Aerobic Al: Ooh, thanks Henry. [Al starts pedalling]
Rude Ralph: The faster you go, the fitter you get!
[Later, Al is drenched in sweat. He collapses and crawls away. Henry and Ralph usher Peter towards the bike]
Horrid Henry: Come on Peter, there's a new pedalling rota. Uh, I've been on it all day, so now it's your turn.
Perfect Peter: But...
[Peter gets on the bike and starts pedalling]
Horrid Henry: If you pedal fast enough, you'll save at least a trillion watts.
Perfect Peter: Well, I do want to save the planet.
[Henry and Ralph sneak off]
Horrid Henry: Whatever you do, don't stop!
[The TV, stereo, racetracks, oven and toaster working and Dad shaving are shown while Peter is pedalling. Later, Henry and Ralph look up at the hall light which is struggling to stay on]
Horrid Henry: Oh, Peter's slacking.
[That evening, Henry and Ralph go outside, where Peter is struggling to pedal the bike]
Perfect Peter: [panting and gasping] Is... my turn... over yet?
Horrid Henry: What? [sees the lights in the house darken] No! You have to pedal faster! Mum and Dad are using lots of electricity too. We need more power.
Perfect Peter: Aah, I can't!
[Peter falls off the bike and crawls away]
Horrid Henry: Oh, get out of the way, worm!
[Henry gets on and starts pedalling, spinning the wind turbine at full speed and lighting up the house. Ralph looks up and sees the propeller is beginning to come loose]
Rude Ralph: Stop! You're going too fast!
Horrid Henry: I can't stop!
[The propeller finally comes loose and sails through the air like a Frisbee over the roof of the house and slices through the power cables, cutting the power to the whole street. Henry and Ralph run into the front garden to see all the lights in the houses and the street lamps turn off one by one]
Horrid Henry: Uh oh!
[The next morning, Dad is telling Henry off in the kitchen]
Dad: Look at this repair bill! We've come up with a new plan to save energy, Henry - you're banned from TV, DVD, PC and anything electrical for a whole year!
Perfect Peter: That'll save fifty-nine million megawatts!
Horrid Henry: It's just not fair!
[At that moment, the doorbell rings. Henry answers the door to Windy Wendy from the recycling centre]
Windy Wendy: Hi there. Ah, just the person I was looking for. I've heard all about your wind and pedal power green machine and I want to buy it for the recycling centre.
Horrid Henry: Really?!
Windy Wendy: Of course, I'll need someone to pedal it...
Dad: Don't worry, I know just the person. [looks at Henry]
Horrid Henry: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
