INT. TIMMY’S LIVING ROOM - LATER

Timmy - still watching the movie - sits goggle-eyed on the couch. His parents sit right next to him, terrified. Wanda and Cosmo are disguised as REMOTE CONTROLS.

14 WANDAWow. This movie is violent AND stupid!

15 COSMOI know! Id’ve settled for just one!

SFX: MORE EXPLOSIONS. TIRES SCREECH! MORE! MORE! MORE!

CAMERA TRUCKS IN on Timmy who drools over the action!!!

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TIMMY’S BEDROOM - NIGHT

ON COSMO AND WANDA - in their fairy form, floating next to Timmy’s bed.

16 TIMMY (OS)<”Pow! Pssh! Boom!” Noises>

Timmy shoulder rolls across the floor, pretending to dodge some sort of enemy attack.

17 COSMOAww! That is so sweet! Look at how much of a bad impression that movie made on Timmy!

Timmy, in PJ’s, jumps onto his bed, holding a SOLDIER ACTION FIGURE. He rips it’s head off and throws it like a grenade.

18 TIMMYBOOM!! Ha! Ha! Action movies are awesome!

19 WANDAI know, but it WAS just a movie!

20 TIMMYSo what? In that movie, life was exciting! I want a life like that! A surprise around every corner! Action everywhere you look!

21 WANDABut, Timmy... that would be dangerous!

22 TIMMY

3


Not to me! I’d be the hero, and nothing bad ever happens to the hero! I wish my life was exactly like an action movie!! Action… YAWN... movie...

22A TIMMY(snoring)

Timmy falls sound asleep. Cosmo and Wanda <GULP> then raise their wands. - EXPLODING POOF!

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. TIMMY’S HOUSE -MORNING -SAME ESTABLISHING AS BEFORE.

The rooster sits the roof. Same as before.

23 ROOSTERCock-a-doodle...

BOOM! The rooster explodes!

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY’S BEDROOM - MORNING

EXACT shot of the first morning.

23A TIMMY(snoring)

Timmy asleep in bed. The clock ticks then...BOOM! EXPLODES! Timmy’s thrown out of bed! Timmy flips and lands nimbly on the floor. A trap door opens - several COBRAS pop up. Timmy pulls out a WHIP and dramatically lashes it around a ceiling lamp to avoid falling in.

24 TIMMYSnakes. I hate snakes.

The trap door shuts. Timmy drops. A GIANT BOULDER rolls towards him. He flips out of the way as it rolls over his bed, through the wall and OS.

25 TIMMY Cool! I mean...”That was close!”

Timmy looks at the Godparents, who are in their fishbowl. They pop out, wearing Tuxedos.

26 TIMMY Nice tuxes, you guys! What’s going on?

4


27 WANDAWhat you wished for!

Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and POOF! Timmy’s room is now transformed into an amazing “Spy Headquarters.”

28 COSMOYour life is now an action movie!

Suddenly -- HENCHMEN - all wearing identical jumpsuits and clown make-up - come out of every possible hiding place in his room. Each juggle three BOWLING PINS.

29 TIMMYCOOL! A squad of...clown thugs?

Several bowling pins whip past Timmy’s head.

30 COSMODon’t knock ‘em ‘till you’ve fought ‘em!

31 WANDAQuick, Timmy! Here!

Wanda waves her wand. Twin LASER BLASTERS <shoop> down Timmy’s sleeves and onto his wrists. Timmy, instantly getting it, zaps away the bad guys, rapid fire.

32 TIMMYBreakfast is served.

Timmy’s ready to race out. Cosmo and Wanda fly in and block him.

33 WANDAHold on, Big Guy! You can’t go out and beat baddies in your PJs!

Wanda waves her wand. POOF! Timmy wears a dirty T-SHIRT and grimy Cargo PANTS like Ryan McCain in Loose Cannon --Timmy looks in the mirror.

34 TIMMYWow! I’ve got five o’clock shadow!

35 COSMOAnd it’s only 7 am!

Wanda hands Timmy a watch-like WRIST COMMUNICATOR device.

36 WANDAHere Timmy! You might need this!

5


37 TIMMYA watch?

38 WANDAIt’s not just a watch...

Wanda presses a button on the watch. A FUNNEL pops up out of the watch.

39 WANDA It’s a magic powered wrist communicator! It sucks up magic so you can stay in touch with us!

Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and BURSTS OF MAGIC fly INTO the communicator via the funnel. The communicator comes to life and displays: “BREAKFAST!!!”

40 TIMMYWhoa! I’m late for breakfast!

Timmy breaks down the door and somersaults out.

CUT TO:

INT. KITCHEN - SAME TIME

Dad wears a TRENCH COAT, Mom a slinky evening GOWN. A PIANO PLAYER plays a moody piece. The room is lit like a classic film noir. Timmy descends into scene via “Mission: Impossible” WIRES and hovers over the table. Dad talks into his CUFF LINK.

41 DADSports. ACTIONY! News. ACTIONY! Weather! Hey!

42 TIMMY AND MOMWhat?

43 DADA 100 percent chance... of ACTION!

Timmy back-flips to the floor. He takes one step and stops. A WALL OF FLAMES shoots up in front of him, then settles. He continues walking. THE FLAMES shoot up behind him. Timmy sits and speaks into his WRIST COMMUNICATOR.

44 TIMMYAcquiring nutrition. Over.

Dad passes Timmy a micro-tape RECORDER. Timmy listens.

6


45 DAD (ON TAPE)Pass the butter. This tape will now self-destruct.

Timmy passes the butter as the tape player explodes. The communicator BEEPS and reads “TIME FOR SCHOOL.”

46 TIMMYOh no! I’m late for school!

Timmy leaps to his feet, and hits his BELT BUCKLE. A JET PACK pops out on his back.

47 TIMMYExplosions, villains, and jet packs out of nowhere! I should have wished for my life to be like this years ago!

He rockets through the window and off to school.

DISSOLVE TO:


ON A LOCKER DOOR. The door flies open with a kick as Timmy jumps out. Cosmo and Wanda are POSTERS on the inside locker door. A now-chubby Chester enters with AJ.

48 CHESTER AND AJHey.

49 TIMMYHey. Chester? Did you gain weight?

50 CHESTER(out of breath) Sure! I’m the... tubby...sidekick!

51 AJ(British accent)

And I’m the effete, British gadget guy! Look at this ROCKET LAUNCHER-SLASH-NUMBER TWO PENCIL!

Timmy clicks the eraser. A PENCIL-LEAD flies down the hallway, blowing a hole in the wall.

52 TIMMYAwesome!

53 CHESTER

7


(out of breath) C’mon...Champ, you’re gonna be...late...for...

Chester looks to see Timmy has already left.

54 CHESTER ... gym!

CUT TO:

INT. GYMNASIUM - LATER

Timmy slides down a BATPOLE into the gym. We see that Timmy is surrounded by the circular LOGO from the James Bond movies, accompanied by the appropriate music. Timmy strikes a defensive pose.

55 TIMMYIt’s quiet in here... TOO quiet!

NINJAS come at Timmy from every angle.

56 TIMMY I need weapons!

POOF! Cosmo and Wanda, peering from under the bleachers, supply Timmy with a BO STICK which he uses to effortlessly dodge and trip the bad guys.

ON COSMO AND WANDA as different ninjas fly around them. They duck as they talk.

57 COSMOWow! Timmy’s really kicking butt!

58 WANDAYeah... but I got a bad feeling about this. Things always go from bad to worse in action movies.

59 COSMOReally? Like how?

60 JORGEN (OS)Like this! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Jorgen’s BIG WAND dips in and Poofs! Cosmo and Wanda away.

ON TIMMY as he uses a series of karate moves to take out the three ninjas.

8


61 TIMMYCool! I wish I had more ninjas to fight!

(beat; they’re not here)Cosmo? Wanda? Where are you?

Timmy looks at his magic powered wrist thing.

ON MONITOR: WE SEE COSMO AND WANDA POOF INTO CHAIRS, TIED UP, BACK-TO-BACK, IN A SMALL CAGE.

62 WANDA (THROUGH SPEAKER)How will we get out of here?

63 COSMO (THROUGH SPEAKER)Don’t worry, I’m gonna pick the lock!

Cosmo picks up a little PINK LOCK with his feet.

64 COSMO (THROUGH SPEAKER)I pick this one! Isn’t it cute?

65 TIMMYThey’ve been captured!

Timmy hits his belt buckle and the jet pack pops off.

66 TIMMY I have to track them down and save them? COOL! This movie rocks!

Timmy blasts through the gym ceiling as we...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - TIMMY’S BEDROOM / SPY LAIR - LATER

Timmy sits at a big “BAT-COMPUTER,” frantically tapping away at keyboards. He has the wrist communicator plugged into the BIG MONITOR.

67 TIMMYLet’s see... if I use the communicator to locate their magic, I should be able to pinpoint their location!

ON SCREEN - A big CASTLE on the outskirts of town.

68 TIMMY Ah-ha! Okay... now all I gotta do is figure out who took them...

9


ON THE BIG MONITOR - The view changes. We now see a ROOM inside of the castle. Jorgen Von Strangle steps into frame, wearing an eye PATCH and holding a muscular CAT.

69 JORGEN (THROUGH SPEAKER)It was me! I -- Jorgen Von Strangle, very tough fairy and obligatory action movie villain.

He produces a MAGIC DRAINING DEVICE -- A big bazooka-type thing with a metal kitchen drainer at the end.

70 JORGENI, my muscles and my buff cat, Kibbles, plan to drain all the magic in the world!

71 TIMMYBut why?

72 JORGENI’m still working that out.

He POOFS Wanda and Cosmo in to float in mid-air, tied up. He zaps them with the drainer. Bright bursts of magic drain out of them and into Jorgen, making him larger. Cosmo and Wanda start shriveling and looking older!

73 WANDATimmy! Help! He’s taking our magic!

74 COSMO(looking at Wanda)

Hey, I like older women -- but not that old -- wait -- wait -- STOP!

75 TIMMYYou’ll never get away with this!

76 JORGEN How? You’re all alone, Little Action Boy. And once I get all the fairy magic in the world, I will be unstoppable!

ON MONITOR -- Jorgen POOFS OS.

Suddenly, Timmy’s room becomes a sea of flashing red lights. The BIG COMPUTER SCREEN flickers and we see...

ON MONITOR - EXT. DIMMSDALE ELEMENTARY- Jorgen POOFS in.

77 JORGEN

10


Now! Show me the Fairies!

78 TIMMY (VO)Oh no! He’s going after all the fairies in Dimmsdale! I’ve gotta stop him! This is my movie!

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER

Jorgen storms past classroom doors, blasting holes in the walls with his wand to reveal the terrified STUDENTS inside. They run for their lives.

QUICK MONTAGE OF JORGEN GRABBING GODPARENTS

* Jorgen blasts open a supply closet to reveal KID #1 hiding inside with his FAIRY GODPARENTS. Jorgen zaps the godparents, draining all their magic into himself. He gets bigger while they shrivel up totally.

79 KID #1No! Binky! Winky!

* KID #2 runs for his life as a blast from the zapper hits his backpack - which deflates. The kid stops and pulls his shriveled GODPARENT out of it. He cries.

80 KID #2Mister Wizzle! NOOO!!!

* On a fire extinguisher, hanging on the wall. Jorgen blasts it away to reveal a GODPARENT and KID#3, scrunched up behind it, forming it’s exact shape. A blast from the magic drainer shrivels the GODPARENT. The kid also cries.

81 KID #3Sue!

CUT TO:

INT. JORGEN’S LAIR - WANDA AND COSMO’S CAGE - SAME TIME

Wanda and Cosmo are tied up, old and shriveled and weak.

82 WANDAWe have to get out of here, Cosmo! We need a plan!

83 COSMOHow about this? You sit there tied up, and I’ll sit here tied up!

11


(beat)Hey! It’s working!

CUT TO:

EXT. SCHOOL - SAME TIME

ABOVE SHOT - as Timmy flies into scene with his Jetpack. It’s a disaster area.

84 TIMMYThe horror! The pure, unadulterated, PG-13 Horror! What have I done?

ANGLE ON - Various KIDS, looking for their fairies.

85 KIDS(Looking for Fairy walla)

86 TIMMYI just wanted an exciting life! I didn’t want everyone else’s to stink!

Timmy pulls out his watch and hits a button. We see Cosmo and Wanda on the screen, veeeery shriveled now.

87 TIMMYCosmo! Wanda! I wish every thing was back to normal!

ON THE LOCATOR - Wanda and Cosmo look terrible and Jorgen stands over them, sucking their magic out.

88 WANDAWe can’t... magic...almost drained...

89 COSMOYou mustn’t blame yourself, even though it is all your fault...

90 WANDATimmy... remember... we love you...

The locator fuzzes out. They’re gone. Timmy lands in the middle of the “wreckage.”

91 TIMMYNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

ON MONITOR -- Jorgen appears on the monitor.

12


92 JORGENHA! And just to totally kick you while you are down, look!

Chester and AJ are hanging over a pit of snapping PIRANHAS and are being lowered slowly towards it.

93 TIMMYChester! AJ!

PAN OVER to reveal MOM AND DAD, pinned, with a LASER BEAM moving slowly toward them.

94 TIMMY Mom! Dad!

We PAN OVER TO A JAMES BOND look-alike on a big spinning WHEEL. Knives are flying at him.

95 TIMMY I don’t know that guy.

ON TIMMY

96 TIMMY This isn’t what I expected! Everybody I care about is in danger and it’s all my fault!

(very determined)I made this world a cruddy movie… and now I’ve got to set it right!

(to Jorgen)You’ve pushed me too far, Von Strangle! I may have goofed things up...

(extreme close up)...but now... I’m un-goofing them!

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. JORGEN’S LAIR - ESTABLISHING - SAME TIME

A sleek, castle-like compound, surrounded by a moat.

CUT TO:

EXT. ABOVE JORGEN’S HQ - LATER

ON A PLANE - Timmy jumps out. A PARACHUTE opens. He lands in a FOREST outside the castle.

13


ON A TREE - Timmy reaches around the tree, and pulls A GUARD, three times his size, behind it. We hear an IMPACT GRUNT.

Timmy walks out, wearing the SUIT. IT DOES NOT FIT.

CUT TO:

ON COMPOUND ENTRANCE

Timmy walks up, sleeves and pants dangling like garden hoses. He waves, sleeves slapping around.

97 TIMMYHey, guys!

Timmy enters, without question.

98 GUARD Hey, did Bob lose weight? And mass?

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. JORGEN’S MAIN CHAMBER - MOMENTS LATER

Jorgen is extremely huge and muscular, full of the world’s magic. So much so, MAGIC occasionally leaks out of him in bright beams, hitting other things, turning them into bunches of FLOWERS, DOVES, RABBITS IN HATS, etc. We see Timmy around a corner, ripping off the guard suit, revealing the Ryan McCain outfit.

99 JORGENHA! I have all the world’s fairy magic! I am the most powerful Fairy in the universe! All I need now is...

(beat)...My cat. Where is Kibbles?

100 TIMMY (OS)Looking for something?

REVEAL Timmy, dramatically lit, spinning Kibbles like a baton.

101 JORGENKibbles! Give him back!

INCLUDE WANDA AND COSMO’S CAGE, which holds what’s left of them, LITTLE PILES OF DUST WITH CROWNS. Timmy turns to Jorgen with a dramatic look.

102 TIMMY

14


Then give me back my godparents! And my parents! And my friends!

103 JORGENHow will you stop me, Little Boy? I have all the magic in the world!

Jorgen raises his wand and fires at Timmy. BOOM! Timmy dodges the blast, but Kibbles is turned into a WHITE TIGER.

Timmy lands behind a gigantic round TABLE. We hear a BOOM! Timmy kicks the table up just in time for it to get blasted. The table turns into a bouncing rubber BALL as Timmy dives OS. Timmy lands by a BIG GLASS SHARK TANK.

104 TIMMYHe’s too powerful! All I have left is this wrist thingie Cosmo and Wanda gave me, but it’s all out of magic, and Cosmo and Wanda don’t have any left!

BOOM! Timmy dives. The blast turns the tank and sharks into pile of FLOWERS.

ON TIMMY as he lands in a corner. Jorgen approaches.

105 TIMMY But Jorgen does! And I can use his!

(to Jorgen)Come on! Is that the best you can do?

106 JORGENI can do better!

107 TIMMYCan not, you jar-headed jerk! You can’t even hit me!

108 JORGENCan too!

109 TIMMYCan not!

110 JORGENYES!

(Raises his wand)I...

15


Timmy hits the button on his communicator and the little “suck up the magic funnel” pops out. He raises it in front of him like a shield.

111 JORGEN CAN!

BOOM! A “beam” of magic blasts from the wand and plows into the funnel.

112 JORGEN Hey... what... what are you doing?

113 TIMMYHa! Sucker!

Timmy hits more buttons on the wrist thing and the magic starts to pour out of Jorgen. He begins to shrink in size.

114 JORGENNo! Stop! You are taking all my magic!

115 TIMMYIt was never yours in the first place!

Jorgen is now regular sized and shrinking fast.

116 JORGENNO! NO! NOOOO!!!

Jorgen shrinks and then... POOF! Disappears!

ON CHESTER AND AJ - they stop dropping.

ON MOM and DAD - the laser stops.

ON TIMMY - he walks up to Cosmo and Wanda’s cell. We hear a RUMBLING:

117 TIMMY Huh?

ON COMMUNICATOR - it’s starting to short out.

118 TIMMY It’s got too much magic in it! It’s gonna blow!

Timmy hits a button on his belt. His Jetpack pops out. He swiftly ties the communicator to the jet pack and launches it through the roof.

ON JET PACK - as it flies higher, and higher... the communicator explodes with a BOOM!

16


CUT TO:

EXTREME LONG SHOT OF THE EARTH

We see the explosion. Beams of magic zip all over the globe.

ON KID ONE - SADLY HOLDING HIS “FAIRY TOWEL PARENTS.”

A BEAM OF MAGIC hits the fairies. They fill up like balloons, to normal size.

119 KID #1Binky! Winky!

ON KIDS TWO and THREE - holding their shriveled godparents. Beams hit them and THEY fill up.

120 KID #2 AND #3WOO HOO!

ON TIMMY - NEXT TO THE COSMO AND WANDA DUST PILES.

121 TIMMYGuys... I’m so sorry...

A beam of magic hits Cosmo and Wanda, turning THEM back to normal!

122 COSMO AND WANDA(VARIOUS WE’RE FILLING UP NOISES)

123 COSMOWe’re young!

124 WANDAWe’re magic!

125 COSMOAnd we’re not dust! Thank goodness! I was allergic to myself!

Timmy hangs his head. In the BG, a little magic falls on Jorgen, reviving him.

126 TIMMYI’m so sorry my selfish wish almost ruined everything. Can you forgive me?

Jorgen slowly, angrily, rises in the background.

127 WANDA

17


Already done, Timmy. We love you!

They hug again as Jorgen <ROARS> back up in BG, in that vanquished villain coming back from being ostensibly dead moment. Cosmo flips him over his shoulder and OS.

128 JORGEN (OS)NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

129 WANDASo, Timmy, got any other wishes?

JORGEN ROARS into frame again, this time a little more dazed. Wanda smacks him OS with a karate move.

130 TIMMYI sure do! I wish the world was back to it’s normal, boring, safe self!

JORGEN achingly moves into frame again. Timmy flips him OS. Jorgen explodes in the distance.

131 COSMOYou got it!

Wanda and Cosmo wave their wands: <POOF!>

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. TIMMY’S HOUSE - MORNING - ESTABLISHING

133 TIMMYCool! Same boring house! Same boring breakfast! Same boring life! Cool!

18


Hey, where are my same boring parents?

SFX: Explosions!

134 TIMMYOh no!!!

Timmy runs into the room, only to see...

CUT TO:

INT. THE LIVING ROOM - SAME TIME

Mom sits on the couch as before, watching the same action movie. The explosions are coming from the TV.

135 MOMThat Ryan McCain is a cop on the edge!

136 DAD (OS)<”Pow! Pssh! Boom!î noises”>

Dad rolls behind the couch and takes a ninja stance.

137 DADYeah, this is cool! I wish MY life could be an action movie!

Mom delivers Dad a backhanded karate blow and knocks him OS.

138 TIMMYTrust me. No you don’t.

Timmy grabs the Cosmo and Wanda clickers and turns the TV off. Dad peeks up over the couch.

139 DADThat’s it! You’re off the case!

140 MOMHi-YEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

141 DADOW!

Mom flips over the couch and “Takes Dad Out.” Timmy pulls out another video tape.

142 TIMMYWho’s up for a nice, safe, disease-of-the-week movie?

19


Dad, dazed, peeks over the couch.

143 DAD...I am...
