What You Want
Episode #6
Transcripted by Dennis Dunjinman
--
Prologue
Fade in to the exterior of
TUCKER: (voiceover) Some people have a lot, and some people don’t.
Zoom in on Tucker.
TUCKER: But everybody’s got *something*.
Cut to Tucker, looking down, content.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Me? I’ve got charm, (arches an eyebrow and grins smarmily) good looks, and modesty.
He straightens up a little.
Cut to Tucker’s PDA. On the screen it reads “AND MODESTY. –AND MY BEST FRIEND-“. Tucker is writing more green letters with his stylus.
TUCKER: (voiceover) My best friend Danny?
Zoom in quickly on the PDA.
Fade to a box with an unopened pack of four purple wheels reading “SKATEBOARD WHEELS”. Around it is a rotary phone on top of some books, and a coiled pipe with a tag on it. Both a Caucasian hand and Tucker’s dark-skinned hand with his yellow shirt reach out and take it on either side, taking it offscreen.
Cut to Tucker and Danny both holding the wheels in one hand, looking down at them, stunned. A banner behind them reads “AMITY PARK SWAP MEET Sat . Sun”, the “swap” in orange and the “meet” in red. One box on the table in front of them has a kettle, a clock, and a lamp without a shade. There’s a box labeled “TRADING CARDS”. There’s a case with watches, a box of records labeled “JAZZ”, a box with a few CDs, a guitar, an egg-shaped container with a smile on it, and a Darth Vader mask.
TUCKER: (voiceover) He has something else.
Danny and Tucker turn to each other and exchange glances.
Cut to Danny, smiling.
DANNY: Two for me, two for you?
Pan left to Tucker, smiling as well.
TUCKER: Sounds fair.
Dennis’s nitpick is that neither boy is established to own or use a skateboard, as both own motor scooters. Actually, Danny has a skateboard lying around against his wall in his room, but he never uses it, like how Jasmine never uses her red guitar.
Cut back to Danny and Tucker by the table. Tucker puts his hand with the wheels down as Danny sticks out his tongue and fishes through his pocket.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Danny and me have known each other--
Danny and Tucker each hand over a bill, which a big man in a green shirt, blue cap and five-o’clock shadow accepts.
TUCKER: --since like,--
Tucker turns to the side, admiring the wheels. Danny turns with him.
TUCKER: --forever.
Cut to a purple tent-like stand that reads “Madam Babazita’s Mystical Oddities”, the top in purple and the bottom in yellow. Ornaments hang from the tent. A woman is sitting inside.
TUCKER: (voiceover) And we share *everything*.
Quick zoom out to reveal the whole tent. The woman is smiling and sitting in a chair, wearing a pink bandana, a gold bracelet, and she has rosy cheeks with a beauty mark on her chin. Her table has a couple lamps, one tall and thin and the other a typical Aladdin genie lamp with smoke coming from it. In front of her is a crystal ball. The stand next to her features a mobile stand with the top up and open, with the same man from the previous stand standing next to a sign reading “Bootleg Videos DVDs Music”. Danny and Tucker walk in from the right up to Babazita’s stand and look at it.
Dennis mentioned this previously when observing WYW screencaps, but that man’s sign reads “bootleg”. Now, that may not be legal, but it’s completely realistic, and DP was meant to be as close to reality as possible without alienating its cartoon base. Meep!
Cut to the table. There are three lamps surrounded by a messy pile of cards. One has a star and moon on it, the next has a complex design with gold and rubies, and the third is the Aladdin lamp. Tucker is onscreen, taking it in hand. Pan up to Tucker, looking at it. Behind him is a banner reading “Tool Depot”, the O’s being gear-shaped.
TUCKER: (incredulously) A genie in a bottle? (takes the lamp closer to himself and smiles falsely) I don’t think so.
Cut to Babazita, smiling a creepy smile with a long, hoop earring and a skull pendant on her cloak. Tucker puts the lamp back on the table with only his hand onscreen.
Here’s a little clue Dennis has. Babazita has a skull pendant on her cloak. Now, in Danny Phantom, things associated with ghosts tend to have skulls or skeletons. Who else wears skulls? Johnny and Skulker have skull necklaces. Ember has skull boots, and in PR she had a hat with a skull/musical note. If you look closely in other episodes, loads of random things will tend to have skulls or skeletons printed on them or designed within them. It’s a clue that Babazita is important and knows something about ghosts.
TUCKER: Thanks anyway.
The lamp sparkles.
Cut to Danny and Tucker by the tent with the man’s bootleg stand behind them. The two boys walk off to the left, closer to the camera.
Cut to Danny and Tucker walking by, Danny looking up to the left and Tucker looking up to the right. A man by a stand/tent at the right has his finger to his chin, looking up to make a decision. To the left is a stand reading “Snacks –n- Candy” the table reading “Cotton Candy”. A woman in pinstripes us spinning cotton candy from the pot, next to her is a popcorn box. A young boy is by the stand. As Tucker and Danny walk past, pan left to show a young, husky red-haired girl with her ponytail in a bow and overalls, a blue balloon tied around her wrist. She is being dragged by the hand by her mother, a curly brunette with a blue headband, a blue belly shirt and skirt, holding a blue purse in her free hand. As the woman at the candy stand hands the cotton candy cone to the boy, the girl turns to the stand, pointing and pleading to her mother as she is dragging her.
GIRL: Please mommy! Please mommy!
Cut to the girl, pointing and shouting.
GIRL: Can I have (turns her head to look behind her) some cotton candy (turns back to the right, shouting and crying) please please (turns back to the left) please please?
That was annoying to type. I had to rewind that sequence a number of times. Did I tell you that fast-talkers with a lot of repeated words are hard to pick out? I’m sure that’s accurate, though.
Cut to the mother. She walks past a stand.
MOTHER: I think you’ve had *enough* sugar today. (She turns back to the right.)
Cut to Babazita’s tent. Next to it is a purple hand-shaped sign that reads “Palms Read”. The mother is walking past, looking down scornfully at her child that is reaching the other way.
GIRL: I want it! I want it!
She turns to her mom, looking up, screaming and crying, scene panning right.
GIRL: I want it!
Cut to the table. The lamp that Tucker was previously holding is wrapped in the string of the balloon. The balloon bounces down then floats up as the lamp is knocked off the table.
Cut to the ground by the table. The lamp shatters into many tiny shards as green smoke billows from the spot that it landed, panning upward.
Cut to Babazita, stunned at the billowing green smoke. She looks up as the smoke rises offscreen, ceasing to billow from the ground.
Cut to just over the star-spangled top of Babazita’s tent. Smoke billows from the bottom and dissipates as a green-skinned genie fades into view, her long black hair blowing in the wind and covering one eye so only one red eye is visible. She has a blue headband, and wears two skintight bracelets on each arm, one by her shoulder and one by her wrist. She has two bangles on her right wrist and one bangle on her left, and also is wearing a choker necklace. Her blue ghostly tail cascades below her, her arms elevated as she looks down upon the swap meet.
Little fast-forward comment. You know how in MB that Danny lost his memory and the accident was undone, yet Desiree ran rampant still? That’s because this event would have happened in that timeline because neither Danny nor Sam intervened, Danny minding his own business with Tucker, Sam not even present. Tucker did the most intervening just by putting the bottle there. Just so you know.
GENIE: And your heart’s desire is my command.
She bends down with a few clouds of green smoke, then dissipates into green smoke and billows up and to the right.
Cut to Danny and Tucker walking, Tucker holding his backpack straps and Danny looking smug. They pass some stands that read “Try Your Luck”, “Skateboards”, and “Blowout Sale”.
Cut to Danny. His ghost sense goes off; a blue wisp of smoke comes from his mouth and leads directly to the right. Danny looks nervously at it.
Close-up on the back of Danny’s head. He turns around, looking up to check out what’s going on. His eyes roll a little lower.
Cut to a pink booth that reads “Kisses”, and a nerdy boy holding up many dollar bills. Next to it is Babazita’s palms sign. The green smoke billows over the stands and down under, turning back to the left.
Pan left to the candy stall. The woman in the pinstripes and hairnet is smiling and absently spinning cotton candy, while the popcorn popper mysteriously moved to the back of her. The green smoke swirls next to her. Zoom out as the smoke becomes the genie, which smiles, bends down and raises her arms to let out a torrent of pink cotton candy from the pot, looking up intently at her power. The scene darkens. The woman puts up her hands to block herself, and then leans back away from the candy in distress.
Cut to a darkened sky. The tower of candy grows upward and wider.
Cut to the genie with raised arms and an expression of powerful effort by the overloading cotton candy pot. The candy pot levitates and points up to the left, then rotates more to the left as the genie looks that way, spewing out an endless torrent of pink cotton candy. Pan left to the stream of candy.
Do candy pots normally do that? Sam’s toaster does, but it’s from Denmark.
Cut to a full crowd of concerned and frightened people. In the background is an oval sign reading “Center”. They scream and brace themselves as a pink wave of cotton candy engulfs them all.
Cut to four more people by the “Try Your Luck” and “Skateboard” booths. They start to run in terror but are engulfed by another wave of pink candy, filling the screen.
Cut to the girl, disappointed and being dragged. She looks up in the sky in wonder, and then screams ecstatically.
GIRL: Cotton cand--!
The whole screen is now engulfed with candy.
Cut to a line of frightened people by the snacks stall and kissing booth. Pan right as they are all swept up in the cotton candy wave, some running away. The whole screen is filled with pink.
Cut to a man with glasses, a comb-over and a white coat sitting in a booth. He clasps his hands and smiles gleefully as people scream. And the wave of candy runs below him. Zoom out to reveal a sign “Dental Work” in a mouth shape, with the addition of the purple splat “Cheap”. Under the man is a picture of a tooth with three red boxes and lines pointing to facets of it.
Cut to Danny and Tucker looking up, aghast as the candy rains down on them. People run and scream in the background.
TUCKER: (voiceover) We share everything, except *one* thing.
Zoom in on Danny. He makes a determined expression. He looks to the left, and then turns back right.
DANNY: I’m going ghost!
Cut to Tucker looking stunned at Danny in a ready stance, Danny raises his arms as a flash of light comes from his torso and two rings pass over his body from his waist. People run and scream in the background as candy rains down, behind them are booths that read “Car Store” and “Sheep Skin Sea Cove”.
Cut to Danny’s legs. The ring passes over his jeans and shoes and vanishes into the ground, turning them into white boots.
Cut to Danny’s arms in the air. They are gray. Individual rings pass over both and vanish into the air as they become white gloves.
Color error; Danny’s arms are gray, but they should be a dark tan. Danny doesn’t wear long sleeves… or gloves in human form.
Close-up on Danny. A flash of light snaps on his face and two light beams pass over it, turning his black hair white. He opens his eyes and they are now a radiantly glowing green. Zoom out and rotate to show Danny Phantom standing next to Tucker who kept his position.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Danny’s got super powers.
Danny bends down and takes flight offscreen. Pan to Tucker. He looks up as the screen is engulfed with another candy wave.
Cut to a darkened red sky. The genie swoops up and turns to the left.
Cut to Danny, flying quickly with a stern action expression, his hair blown back and one fist forward. He zooms ahead offscreen.
Cut to the genie. Danny floats up from below to her, seen from the back. The genie looks to him.
DESIREE: (letting out her hands) I am Desiree.
Cut to Desiree.
DESIREE: What is your (closes her eyes and puts her hands together) wish?
Cut to Danny.
DANNY: None of your business,--
Danny’s face gets closer to the camera, closing in.
DANNY: --candy pants!
Cut to Desiree, saddened with a finger and thumb bent together. She closes her eyes and points, leaning forward in a matter-of-fact way.
DESIREE: Surely there must be--
She reaches out, pan left to her hand reaching forward and forward.
DESIREE: --something…
Cut to Danny, stunned as the hand of Desiree reaches out for him. He lifts out his hands as the genie closes in on his chest area.
DANNY: Hey!
He floats up in a fetal position, the genie’s hand leaves offscreen.
DANNY: Get away!
Danny straightens his legs, but his knees are still bent. A green ball forms in his glowing green hand.
Cut to the glowing hand in a pale pink action background.
Cut to an angry Danny throwing his hand forward and grunting as a green beam comes out from it.
Cut to Desiree, shocked. The beam hits her square-on and she shrieks as she is knocked back far away, panning left over the city as she gets too far from sight.
Cut to Danny, confused with a smoldering green hand. Zoom in on Danny as he looks at his hand, arching an eyebrow.
DANNY: What the heck?!
Cut to Danny’s glowing palm. Zoom in.
DANNY: What’s going on?
Cut to Danny, looking at his glowing hand.
DANNY: Is this… (looks up to the sky) a new ghost power?
It’s more, Danny. Let me explain.
This was the final “pilot” episode of DP. After many re-watching times of this episode and others, Dennis believes that the ectoplasmic energy is regenerative. Ghosts produce excess amounts of it to keep their form, do strenuous activities, and release energy beams. Now, with the addition of the energy beam to Danny’s abilities, this means Danny’s been part-ghost long enough that he now officially is one, and his energy producing ability has been “turned on” and can’t be turned off without removing a good part of his own self. This also means he won’t “change back” accidentally. You’re now officially a ghost now, Danny, not just a kid bopping around with ghost powers. We hope you accept this responsibility wisely.
Cut to Danny. He looks downs to the left as his hand smolders green.
TUCKER: (offscreen) That was *slammin’*!
Cut to Tucker on the ground next to many piles of pink cotton candy with a taco stand behind him.
TUCKER: Whatever that was,--
Zoom out. Danny descends with a glowing arm and puts it aside as Tucker thrusts his hands out.
TUCKER: --you’ve got another power?
Cut to Danny, holding up his hand in questioning.
DANNY: I guess.
Cut to Tucker, looking up.
TUCKER: Man, (points up with a finger) see that’s the cool thing about you powers, man! (puts down his hand and leans forward) There’s no downside!
Cut to Tucker with Danny floating next to him, looking at his non-glowing hand.
TUCKER: (raising a hand up high) Gimme five!
Danny raises his hand up and smiles, but it quickly turns to nervousness as Tucker is blasted offscreen by a green energy beam. Tucker yelps out.
Cut to Danny, putting down his arm and leaning forward, wide-mouthed.
Cut to Tucker, head-down in the pile of candy by a booth labeled “Kabob”, only his pants and part of his shirt is visible. He raises a hand as a pile of candy on the roof of the booth falls and covers him.
TUCKER: I’m okay!
Another pile of candy falls on top of Tucker.
Fade to black.
OPENING THEME HERE
(Possible cut to commercial)
--
PART ONE
Title Screen is shown. Depicted is a cloud of purple mist with two evil, green eyes staring down at a scared Danny Phantom and what looks to be an evil, green-skinned, ghostly, angry Tucker both flying around Desiree’s genie bottle. The caption in the bottom left reads “In Sensational Dream—O-Rama!”
Fade to an aerial shot of the football field. The bleachers are full. There’s a sign over the bleachers reading “Go Ravens”. Four cheerleaders are pushing their pom-poms up and down on an otherwise empty field.
TUCKER: (voiceover) So, anyway,--
Zoom in on the bleachers.
TUCKER: --I guess the craziness really started--
Fade to the bleachers. Tucker is in the stands with his hands on his knees, enjoying the game, while Sam is pale, miserable, wrapped in a red blanket and has disheveled hair. There’s an Asian boy in a red sweater holding a cup sitting next to them
TUCKER: (voiceover) --at the game Saturday night.
Sam starts to shudder and sneezes, spraying out droplets of spittle. Tucker looks to her, concerned as she takes an even larger breath and leans forward with a forceful sneeze.
Cut to Sam. Her skin is pale and sweaty. She sits up.
SAM: I’m sick as a dog and I hate sports. (looks to the right, annoyed) Why am I here?
Pan right to Tucker, looking smug.
TUCKER: (lifting a palm) Because Danny’s here, (eyes widen as he puts down his hand and turns to the right) and he’s got the best seat in the house!
That’s right, Sam hates sports. This means all you Frightmare fans know that Sam would never be all googly-eyed over Danny and wear his letter jacket. Sure, she’d be supportive of her friend, but not in total love with him being an athlete.
Cut to the field. A goalpost is visible, and beyond the mesh fence are many hedges.
ANNOUNCER #1: (offscreen) And now everybody,--
The Ravens mascot runs onto the field from the left, with a googly-eyed look and the tongue hanging out of the beak, with a white red-ringer shirt with a red “C” on it. It jumps in the air and waves its wings to the left with feathers flying off, then the right in sequence as the announcer speaks.
ANNOUNCER #1: --here they are! Your very own Casper High Ravens!
As the Raven mascot lands, football players in uniform look to the offscreen audience with their hand up as if waving, but still. They have numbers on them in sequence, 1, 2, 3, and 4. A cloud of dust forms as they trample the mascot.
Cut to the mascot on the ground as the smoke clears. The beak with the tongue has been detached, and the mascot is face-down on the ground. The mascot lifts up his head, revealing it to be Danny with a shiner, bruises, and a missing tooth. The Raven’s head has two orbits and many sparkles around it, dazed.
DANNY: (sardonically) Fill in for the mascot! It’ll be fun! (looks madder now) You’ll meet cheerleaders!
At least you’re showing some school spirit, Danny. Sometimes you hang out in school but don’t even participate in anything. Of course, isn’t being the mascot also being a cheerleader? The things a boy will do to meet girls.
Danny grunts as another player steps on his head and tramples him to the ground.
Close-up on a referee on a turquoise action background. He blows a yellow whistle.
Cut to the field. The football is on the tee, with two players from the visiting team with yellow jerseys and blue helmets and pants with the numbers 6 and 27 on them standing in position. Quick zoom out to show another player with the number 69 kicking the ball forcefully with his leg high and to the side.
Cut to an aerial shot of the field. 13 red players litter the field around the goalpost. The football flies onscreen and the screen zooms in on the background as it falls.
Cut to Dash in full football gear, with a red-and-white uniform and the number 4 on his jersey, black lines under his eyes. Another
Cut to Dash. He smiles proudly and determined as the crowd cheers, then his eyes pop open and he screams in terror.
Cut to Dash holding the ball from the back. Two other
Fade to three
DASH: Hike!
Cut to Dash’s arms. Another player’s darker-toned hands pass the ball into his.
Cut to the stands. Two cheerleaders are standing by with a white pom-pom hand on their hips and the red one down. One cheerleader has long brown hair and the other has short, red hair in a pigtail on the top of her head. Dash walks backward holding the football high above his head and another hand forward, the whistle blows as he aims. Then, he jumps and cries out with his helmet launching off his head as another wave of visiting players with varying numbers lands on top of him. Dash grunts in pain. The whistle blows.
I may have mentioned this transcribing MBK, but the cheerleader that looks like Vid from the Master’s Blasters is present in the background. Not sure if Danny wishes to meet her now, but he’s definitely not going to want to meet her later!
Cut to the stands. The stadium light is on and the full moon is up. The football sails through the air.
Cut to the field. A player from the visiting team, 16, is running and looking behind him. He is followed closely by two
Cut to Dash, sailing through the air with the ball close to his body, looking back and laughing. He looks forward and runs, zoom out to show players from the visiting team tackle him from all angles in a giant ball. The whistle blows.
Cut to Tucker, leaning forward in shock. The Asian with the drink and red hoodie is next to him.
TUCKER: (throwing up his hands) This is pathetic.
Cut to Tucker.
TUCKER: (putting down his arms, disappointed) Our team’s fading fast.
Zoom out to show Sam, miserable and wrapped in her blanket. Tucker looks to her in self-awareness as she sneezes forcefully.
SAM: (sniffling) Me too.
She stands up and looks down at Tucker, who looks up at her.
SAM: I’m out of here.
She turns and walks away, Tucker blinks and looks to the direction she leaves to.
SAM: Later.
Cut to a huddle of
DASH: Man, we should get turned into the kind of monster who could--
Cut to Dash He looks down to the back.
DASH: --crush these guys single handed!
Cut to an aerial shot of the huddle. There are nine players in it. Pan up over the stands and announcer box. A sparkling green cloud swirls its way onscreen and forms into Desiree.
Cut to Desiree. She smiles innocently and waves out her palm, panning left as a green wisp of sparkling smoke swirls downward.
Cut to Dash in the huddle. He turns around, slumping his shoulders as his suit has a tear and a scuff, his helmet has a scuff and his face is scratched, too. The green wisp billows into him from behind and his eyes go off in different directions as he glows green for a second. Zoom in. Dash grows a little more muscular, growling a beastly growl and his teeth are jagged, transforming into a ripped, green-skinned and red-eyed ghoul.
Cut to Dash’s normal arm. The jersey tears as it inflates and becomes green and veiny.
Cut to Dash’s normal leg. It swells and becomes green as the pants and shoes rip off.
Cut to the Raven mascot, liberally bandaged at the beak. Danny turns around inside the suit, arching an eyebrow as growling is heard.
DANNY: Huh?
Cut to the green, beastly Dash standing next to
Cut to Danny in the Raven suit. His ghost sense goes off. He looks up in wonder as the mist wafts away.
Cut to Desiree floating over the announcer’s box. She straightens her tail and takes off with puffs of green smoke.
DANNY: (offscreen) Oh no!
Cut to Danny, looking up. Zoom in. He blinks in surprise.
Cut to the stands. Dash stands up onscreen, holding the football up and his arm out. He roars as the ball is tossed, panning right offscreen.
Cut to the goalpost. A legion of
Cut to a dark-green action background as the ball is sailing. The ball spontaneously combusts from friction.
Cut to the beastly Dash. He bends down and jumps offscreen, roaring.
Cut to the flaming ball in the action background over the field. Dash runs up in a position to catch the ball, then takes it and looks forward, snuffing the flames. He runs faster offscreen.
Isn’t that passing the ball to yourself? Dennis doesn’t know about this in football, but in basketball it’s travelling. And Dennis knows from experience about a boy in 7th grade that repeatedly cheated in basketball by passing the ball to himself, tossing it away and grabbing it in mid-air. Hate that guy.
Cut to the announcer box. There are two announcers in it, one in a gray suit with black hair taking his microphone and a second with blond hair, square glasses and a green suit holding his microphone.
ANNOUNCER #1: Wow! It looks like those high-protein breakfasts are really paying off!
These two announcers are designed after Butch and Steve, but they certainly aren’t voiced by Butch and Steve. Meep!
Cut to Tucker, sitting in the front row of the bleachers because he somehow moved there. Danny runs up to him in the Raven suit.
TUCKER: Do you believe this, Danny? (leans forward to Danny) Dash is a beast!
Cut to the other bleachers. Dash lands onscreen holding the ball up high, slamming it into the ground and causing it to quake with a small ravine in its wake.
Cut to Tucker and Danny, Tucker leaning forward and Danny in the Raven suit.
DANNY: And getting beastier!
Unfortunately, Danny, that’s not a word according to my spell check. The term “more beastly” is grammatically correct.
Cut to Dash from the back. He turns around and throws up his arms, roaring as the background becomes a red action background.
Cut to the two announcers.
ANNOUNCER #2: Holy Mark McGuire! Look at those arms!
Cut to Tucker and Danny.
DANNY: I think he’s running on ghost power! (turns to Tucker, throwing his wings forward) I need your help!
Danny puts down his wings as Tucker stands up, proud and determined.
TUCKER: To kick some--
He puts up his fists to his chest, looking to Danny with a gleeful smile.
TUCKER: --ghost booty?
Close-up on Danny in the beak of the suit. He looks uneasy as he rolls his eyes the other way.
DANNY: Sort-of. (eyes flash green)
Cut to Tucker. He smiles determined.
TUCKER: I’m in!
Cut to the field. Three visiting team players, 9, 16 and 12 are seen from the back in ready positions. Two
Cut to a visiting team player, 16. He looks up, terrified. 9 is next to him. Zoom in.
Cut to a
Cut to Dash, growling with streams of ghostly energy coming from the top of his back. He looks up to the heavens.
DASH: Fifteen!
Cut to Dash, growling again.
DASH: Twenty-five!
Cut to the field with all the players in the ready position. Dash crouches behind the player with the ball.
DASH: Thirty-two!
Danny Phantom flies up in his blue, intangible/invisible form with his ghostly tail.
Cut to Dash with Danny hovering over him as his tail becomes a pair of legs.
DANNY: Whoa!
He stands up straight and puts a hand over his nose, closing one eye.
DANNY: Ghost Energy’s pretty strong, (looks over Dash in a ready-to-act pose) but hopefully (raises a hand to take something) ripe for the picking!
Cut to Dash from the back. Ghostly energy streams waft from his helmet. Danny’s intangible and invisible hand plunges into the back of Dash’s helmet.
Cut to Danny, reaching into Dash. Dash’s eyes pop open in surprise as he roars again.
Cut to a farther shot. Danny pulls out a ghostly imp form with Dash’s face, with red eyes and pointed ears. Danny looks at it in terror as the ghost wails to Danny. Danny flies offscreen holding Dash’s ghost. Dash’s eyes pop open with realization.
Cut to the players in ready position. Dash shrinks, first he shrinks and gains his normal eyes, then shrinks again and resumes his tan color, then shrinks to his normal size.
Cut to Dash behind another player. Pink dazed-starts pop around him. His jersey and pants are torn up.
DASH: Uh… hike?
Cut to Dash and the other
Cut to Danny, intangible and invisible behind the stands. He is holding the very visible and tangible Fenton Thermos with selective tangibility. Zoom out.
DANNY: Back to the (uncaps the thermos and sends out a blue energy beam) Ghost Zone for you, pal!
Cut to Dash’s ghost, being pulled offscreen in little ectoplasm droplets coming off him.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Danny had no problem getting--
Cut to Danny behind the stands with the thermos as Dash’s ghost is surrounded by the blue beam and is sucked to it.
TUCKER: (voiceover) --that ghost out of Dash.
Cut to Danny, sucking the ghost in the thermos. He caps it with a smile.
TUCKER: (voiceover) But we lost the game.
Cut to a far shot of the bleachers as Danny resumes his color and swoops over with his ghostly tail, flying offscreen.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Which was bad news for the guy filling in for Danny--
Fade to the field in front of
TUCKER: (voiceover) --who was filling in for the guy who usually wears the mascot suit.
Cut to Tucker in the beak of the suit with his wings in the air.
TUCKER: (voiceover)
Zoom out and rotate quickly to show Tucker hanging upside down from the goalpost by his feet.
TUCKER: --I get the short end of the stick.
Even if you get tortured, Danny didn’t mean it. See, he needed a fill-in because if he went missing in action during the game (which was suspicious enough as it is with Dash becoming a beast), then someone would suspect something. Luckily, no one really cares who wears the mascot suit.
Other than that, it’s either really late or
An auburn-haired boy with a goatee and a letter jacket comes up from the back.
ATHLETE: Hey guys! (turns around and points with his thumb to Tucker) A Raven pińata!
Cut to four athletes, two holding baseball bats. The first is Kwan, the next is a dark-skinned boy with a flat top (I’m sure his name is Dale in the credits of OoaK and SI, though), a Caucasian boy with red hair and a boy with a white shirt with a red 4 on it, his wild black hair in his red visor.
VISOR ATHLETE: (chuckling as the four boys put up their bats in their hands) Let’s hit him until the candy comes out!
Cut to Tucker hanging upside-down in the mascot suit. His eyes pop open in shock.
Fade to the open, swirling Fenton Portal far away in the lab.
Cut to the ceiling. Danny phases through hands-first un to his waist invisible and intangible with the completely visible Thermos in his hands. He looks to the left, then quickly flies out of the wall.
Cut to the portal. A console with a green circle in the center is next to it. Danny flies down and lands on the floor.
Cut to Danny as he resumes full color, looking up to the right.
Cut to a glowing green high-tech dream catcher with a wood and cloth hut next to it. Feathers and strings are hanging on the dream catcher. Danny is in the foreground. Zoom in on the dream catcher.
Cut to Danny holding the thermos and looking to the right. The console is by him. He turns to the thermos, then looks behind himself carefully as he places the thermos into the circular slot with both hands on the top.
Cut to the thermos in the slot with Danny’s hands on it.
DANNY: End of the line,--
Danny removes his hands and the thermos vibrates as the green bar on it slowly gives way to a light blue one.
DANNY: --gruesome.
Cut to the Portal. Danny is looking at the portal from the console. Dash’s ghost swirls around and lets out a high-pitched wail, then the portal flashes and dims out until the ghost is gone and three towers of steam come from the edge of the portal.
Cut to Danny, smiling. He takes flight backwards and turns forward while still looking behind himself not seeing the dream catcher in front of him. Pan right as he passes through, out comes a normal Danny and a blue, ghostly Danny. The blue Danny stabilizes and looks down as the human Danny looks up in sudden realization. The human Danny falls to the floor with clouds of dust rising and the blue Danny looks down with concern.
Cut to the floor. Danny grunts in pain as dust settles, the dream catcher is behind him and is starting to glow a little. Danny looks up.
Cut to the blue Danny, mystified.
DANNY: Huh?!
Cut to the human Danny on the floor. He blinks.
Cut to the blue Danny in the air. He swoops downward offscreen.
Cut to the human Danny on the floor by the dream catcher. The blue Danny flies into the human as the human closes his eyes and starts to glow all green. Jack sneezes offscreen, Danny looks up.
There’s a bit of controversy about this scene, but Dennis thinks otherwise. While in IC, Danny was clean-cut separated into two complete different halves, in this episode Danny Fenton wasn’t really Danny Phantom yet, because Danny Phantom was merely a ghost-fighting alias and not a known identity for him. Therefore, I think that the blue, ghostly Danny is a mere manifestation of his ghostly powers, and with the ectoplasmic energy blast developed I’m guessing his ghostly side is too deeply rooted to stay alone without it. It’s not like you can get rid of it and it’s gone, there’s a niche there where your ghost half was excised. So unlike Danny Phantom overshadowing Danny Fenton in IC, this one only places itself back where it belongs, on Danny’s genome.
Danny looks up as the green glow fades away.
JACK: (offscreen) Who’s that?
Cut to the wood-and-cloth hut. Streams of steam are coming out.
JACK: Is somebody (lifts up the cloth of the hut and steps out, looking pale) out there?
Maddie lifts up some cloth as well, she also look pale.
Cut to Danny, getting up.
DANNY: Am I interrupting something? That I hope I’m not?
Cut to a pale and sick Maddie by a pale Jack. Her hair is disheveled and she sniffles. Then she opens her eyes with sweat dripping below them.
MADDIE: Your father and I are purifying ourselves of negative ghost energy.
Cut to Jack, who sneezes forcefully, then sniffles and wipes his nose with his glove. He starts to sweat.
JACK: (slumping over) We’re trying to richly expel any viral ghosts in our systems with the Fenton--
Cut to Danny.
JACK: (offscreen) --Ghost Catcher.
Danny looks to the left. Quickly pan to show the Fenton Ghost Catcher, glowing with a thick blue aura.
JACK: (offscreen) It’s like an Indian dream catcher--
Cut to a sick, miserable Jack. He puts out a hand in a matter-of-fact way.
JACK: --except it expunges ghosts and not dreams, (puts down his hand) you see.
Cut to an aerial shot of the tent with steam coming out. Jack and Maddie looks at Danny from the outside, Maddie with a hand on her chin. Danny walks up to them.
DANNY: You might just have a cold, you know. (shrugs) It doesn’t have to be a ghost cold.
Cut to Jack and Maddie, looking incredulous. Maddie has her hand on her chin. She removes it as the two exchange glances, then turn back to Danny and start walking away.
JACK: I remember when I was that naďve.
Cut to Danny, glad to be out of a close one. He turns to the left.
Cut to Danny looking over his shoulder at the Ghost Catcher which is glowing heavily. He turns his whole body to face it, looking dwarfed by it.
Cut to a part of the Ghost Catcher. Danny walks up and looks at it, putting up a hand and plunging it through like a pool of water, panning left. The hand sparkles blue as a ghostly, blue hand comes out of it. Danny quickly retracts his hand.
DANNY: Whoa!
Cut to Danny, trembling. He takes back his hand and holds it safe with his other hand.
DANNY: This one actually *works*!
Cut to Danny holding his hand by the Ghost Catcher.
DANNY: A little too well.
Zoom out slowly.
DANNY: I’m filing this under “must avoid”.
Fade to a purple house on the street. There are pink bushes and trees and a purple car is parked next to it.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Even during trying times,--
Zoom in on the top-right level of the house to a window dimmer than the others.
TUCKER: --one has to remember a fallen comrade.
It’s the next day. Yesterday was Saturday, this day is Sunday.
Cut to a close-up of Sam in her bed, pale and sweating. She has a red hot water bottle on her head and a cell phone by her ear.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Poor Sam was so sick, and all cooped up in her house.
Zoom out to show Sam tucked into bed with red and white bed sheets.
TUCKER: That’s the worst.
Sam sneezes forcefully and her hot water bottle goes flying. Glass is heard shattering.
SAM: I feel like I’m gonna die. I *hate* being sick!
She breathes in and her nostril shudders, then she sneezes forcefully again.
A phone half-side pans in from the right. Danny is seen in a burgundy walled room with his cell phone.
DANNY: Hang in there, Sam. (rolls his eyes upward) Tucker and I are gonna come visit you when we’re--
Danny looks up and behind him, Sam opens her eyes a little.
DANNY: --done at the mall. (looks to his phone) You want us to bring you anything?
Sam sneezes again and settles down. Danny looks up in a *sigh* way.
SAM: No, no please, don’t bother.
Sam looks off to the right as Danny looks to the left.
SAM: My folks are taking--
Sam looks up a little, Danny looks up in a “*sigh*” way.
SAM: --pretty good care of me.
Danny’s half of the screen disappears as the screen zooms out to reveal Sam’s grandmother by her bed holding a tray with a bowl of steaming broth. Sam is smiling.
Cut to a far shot of the whole room. There’s a closet full of clothes, a poster with a fist wearing a spiky bracelet and another reading “elec” on the wall. Unlit candles are in the foreground. With Grandma Manson is one doctor holding a clipboard and three nurses, a blonde nurse, an African-American nurse, and an Asian nurse.
SAM: Guys, it’s just a cold!
A doctor clad in blue slides in with a doctor’s mirror and a defibrillator in both hands. Sam looks shocked.
DOCTOR: Clear!
The doctor lifts up the two ends of the defibrillator and they shock with blue lightning.
That may be extreme, but entirely untrue. Shocks are only advised when a person’s heart isn’t beating on a rhythm (more like vibrating), and the shock isn’t as big as that to make bodies jump, but enough to get the heart started. You learn that in Health class with CPR training, and I’m certified to use a defibrillator.
Cut to a theater. On the marquee reads “DEAD TEACHER IV” in bold red letters. Cars are honking in the street. Another car drives up.
Cut to inside the theater. The red ribbon-gate is seen. Tucker and Danny walk up, Danny on his cell and Tucker looking at Danny, bored.
DANNY: She’s gotta be sick if she’s--
Zoom out and pan left as they walk, Danny puts away his phone. Two kids in the background look at blank movie posters.
DANNY: --missing “Dead Teacher IV”.
As Danny and Tucker approach a trash can, Danny turns intangible and walks through it unfazed. Tucker turns forward and smiles.
TUCKER: “This time it’s personal”.
Stop panning left as Danny regains visibility. In the back is a giant, cute sign for “SAYONARA PUSSYCAT” featuring a cute anime cat with big blue eyes, a pink bow, whiskers, blush and a pink shirt with a flower on it. The arms of the sign wave. Two girls, a red-haired girl and a curly black-haired one with a bun, both in pink, are standing to the left of it. To the right are a brunette girl with purple clothes, a blond boy with a red shirt, and a dark-skinned boy in a green beanie.
Sayonara Pussycat is an obvious parody of the Hello Kitty franchise. Of course, Sayonara is “bye” in Japanese. Not sure what plot it’d be if it was a movie, it’s more for accessories, really.
Hey, toys in the 80s got away with getting their own (sometimes horrendous) cartoons and movies. Who needs plot?
GIRL #1: Oh my gosh!
Cut to the two girls by the arm-waving sign. The red head is looking up at it with her hands clasped, the black-haired one has her hands clasped and is looking to the other girl. The red head turns to her friend.
GIRL #1: I can’t wait for the Sayonara Pussycat movie! I wanna see it so *bad*!
The red-head turns to the sign as the black-haired girl puts her hands on her friend’s shoulders.
GIRL #2: Oh my gosh, I know! (closes her eyes and clasps her hands to her chest) Isn’t she *soooo* (puts her hands back on her friend’s shoulders) cute?
The two girls walk off. The black haired girl turns her head to look around as Paulina walks up with her hands clasped.
PAULINA: Sayonara Pussycat is (throws down her hands) *so* cute!
Cut to Paulina. She clenches her fists and smiles.
PAULINA: Why can’t I be that (puts her fists together) popular?
Cut to two empty movie posters with lights around them. Desiree phases through intangible and invisible puts up her hand and resumes full color. Green magic smoke comes from her hand and wafts downward.
Cut to Paulina all gleeful as the smoke comes over her. As it clears, Paulina opens her eyes and turns green, glowing green all over.
Cut to a snack counter. Four people are in line, a boy with a red baseball cap, a woman with curly blonde hair and a blue shirt and skirt, a balding gray-haired man with glasses and his hands clasped, and a tall, dark-skinned man. An employee with a white hat and a red bowtie is standing at the register by the popcorn machine.
PAULINA: (offscreen) Hi everybody!
Everyone turns around and gasps. The employee’s hat flies off.
Cut to three teens, all looking shocked. There’s a red-haired girl with a pony tail, a red-haired boy with a green backpack and a blond boy with glasses and a pronounced Adam’s apple.
PAULINA: What do you--
Pan right to show three more teens, a blond boy with a blue backpack, a brown-haired boy with glasses, and a brown-haired girl with a purple tank.
PAULINA: --think of me?
Cut to another crowd of people. From left to right is a muscular man in a white sleeveless shirt, a thin man in a long blue shirt and blue cap, a person with short blond hair and a bleu shirt with a girl that has a single blonde pigtail. Then there’s a woman in a pink beret with a soda and a man with a shirt, tie and glasses holding a bag of popcorn. They gasp.
Close-up on a floating Paulina with white skin, big, anime-esque eyes and pink blush spots. Zoom out to show her floating and waving her arms with white sparkles all about.
Cut to a woman with short blonde hair and an orange shirt, a woman with curly red hair and a green shirt, and a man with green eyes and a tie. Hearts and blue sparkles fly over them.
ALL: We love you!
Cut to a couple, a boy with a white tee with purple neck ring and his girlfriend with a white tee that has turquoise rings and a spot on the chest. The boy clasps his arms and the girl throws up her arms, crying.
ALL: We love you!
Cut to Paulina hovering over a crowd. The crowd waves their arms.
ALL: We love you, Paulina!
Cut to Paulina. She lands on the ground and marches forward gleefully.
PAULINA: Look at me! I’m so cute and cuddly and--
The scene rotates as a crowd of teens follows her. Paulina looks back at them.
PAULINA: --ever so wonderful! Don’t you think?
Cut to Paulina marching in front of a crowd of teens. The teens throw up their arms.
ALL: We agree! We love you, Paulina!
Cut to Danny and Tucker by a couple arcade machines. Danny is about to put a coin into a machine labeled “Crash Nebula”, and is looking the other way. Tucker looks shocked.
DANNY: Paulina?!
INTERCOM: Attention moviegoers!
Danny and Tucker look up.
Cut to the two megaphone intercom on the ceiling.
INTERCOM: Googleplex cinemas has--
Cut to Danny’s confused face looking up.
INTERCOM: --officially declared it--
Danny blinks and tilts his neck straight.
INTERCOM: --Happy Fabulous Paulina Day!
And why exactly are Danny and Tucker unaffected? They just so happen to be a pair of Paulina’s greatest supporters. Must be the strange ghost part that leaves them unaffected.
Cut to a corner of the theater. Paulina walks into the corner, seen from the back.
PAULINA: I don’t know what (turns around to face away from the corner) to say!
Cut to Paulina looking at a crowd of adoring teenagers looking down to her.
PAULINA: Why squander my popularity here? (leans in to her fans) I’m so adorable, I bet I could become (lifts up her arms) Super Fairy Queen of All--
She starts to grow in short spurts until she is taller than the crowd. The crowd looks up at her.
PAULINA: --Teenagerdom!
Cut to Paulina growing in short spurts over the heads of the crowd until she reaches the ceiling.
PAULINA: Isn’t that (throws up her arms and smiles gleefully) luscious?
Cut to a crowd of teens with blue sparkles among them cheering and clapping and yelling “yay!”
Cut to Danny. He turns to the right, determined.
DANNY: Tucker, I--
Zoom out to reveal Tucker holding the thermos out to Danny. Danny looks down at it, sad.
TUCKER: Do what you gotta do.
Danny takes the thermos and looks to the left, determined. Tucker turns to the right and walks away, pointing a thumb.
TUCKER: I’ll get seats.
Pan left as Danny turns. A flash of light appears around his waist and grows into a blue ring of light, passing over him transforming him quickly into Danny Phantom. He takes off with a puff of smoke.
Cut to the giant Paulina jumping up and down by her crowd of supporters. A clock on the wall reads “3:00”. Danny swoops in invisibly with the thermos on his back on and hands forward, pushing Paulina up and away.
Cut to an empty, purple theater save for Tucker in one seat next to the aisle, his elbow on the armrest and his hand on his cheek. The screen reads “Ponies! Ponies! Ponies!” in big, bubble letters and hearts next to a blue pony with a gold necklace.
TUCKER: Man, I cover for Danny, my movie gets sold out, and I gotta watch--
Zoom in on Tucker.
TUCKER: --*this* now.
Impossible. When Danny transformed to get rid of the ghost in Paulina, you were supposed to get tickets/seats. Therefore, neither you nor Danny will watch the movie you wanted to see because Danny’s busy right now and obviously doesn’t have a ticket.
My solution? Do something else or catch a later screening.
Cut to Tucker pouting in his seat with a drink in the cup holder. He puts out a hand.
TUCKER: I’m tired of being left out all the time! (He puts down his arm) Man, I wish I had ghost powers too!
That’s the first wish someone made in this episode. The girl said she wanted cotton candy. Dash said they should get turned into a monster. Paulina asked why she couldn’t be so popular. Good for you, Tucker.
Cut to a farther shot of Tucker pouting in an empty theater so the exit doors and projector lights are visible. Zoom in on the projector windows.
Cut to the windows. A green, ghostly spot of light appears on the wall and Desiree swoops intangible and invisible through it carelessly, resuming full color and flying down.
Cut to the pouting Tucker. Desiree floats down with her hands just above him. Tucker looks up, self-conscious, then lifts his hands to his mouth and gasps.
Cut to Desiree. She swirls her hand around and creates green sparkles. Green smoke rises around her.
DESIREE: Your heart’s desire is my command!
Cut to Tucker in a fetal position in his seat, scared and guarding with one hand. Green sparkles pop around him. He closes his eyes as green smoke closes in on him, then looks around when the green smoke envelops him.
Cut to the top of the theater. Desiree floats up, turns invisible and phases away above the Exit door.
Cut to a cloud of green smoke. The smoke clears revealing Tucker clinging to his seat and many green sparkles. Tucker opens an eye for a spot check.
Cut to Tucker. He relaxes and looks up to the left, then the right.
Cut to an empty cluster of seats. Cut to a second empty cluster of seats.
Cut to Tucker. He starts to glow with a green aura, then pops intangible. He cries out in surprise as he falls through the seat. Pan down. Tucker pops his head up through the seat and smiles.
TUCKER: *Suh-weet*!
Cut to a supply room full of boxes and rolled up posters. On the wall are two sci-fi posters, one of a futuristic gladiator and another of a robot by a planet with rings of Saturn. Pan left to a wall with many trash bags and a broom by a door. Paulina phases head-first through the wall with Danny on her back. She lands on the floor and turns to Danny as Danny floats beside her, both resuming full color.
Cut to Paulina.
PAULINA: Hi! (lifts her arms and leans forward gleefully) I’m Paulina. (looks up and puts her hands on her face) I’m adorable and swell (lifts her arms up again) and full of big-headed anime goodness!
Cut to Danny, looking incredulous. He puts out an arm.
DANNY: Bye bye, Kitty!
He should have said “Sayonara, Pussycat!” Would’ve sounded wittier.
Actually, I think this was wittier; shows that Danny understood what the title meant.
Danny’s hand glows all green
Cut to Danny and Paulina. Danny lets out an ecto-blast hitting Paulina square in the forehead. She screams and waves her arms.
Cut to Paulina with the beam through her forehead. She stands down. Pan right as the beam exits her and hits a wall, forming into a white shape.
Cut to the white shape, glowing green. It turns into a green Sayonara Pussycat. It floats and smiles gleefully.
SAYONARA PUSSYCAT: Hi! Isn’t everything (opens her big, red anime-esque eyes) in the world (puts her hands to her face) sweet and (spins around) wonderful and--
Cut to Danny. He holds up the thermos with both hands, and then points it forward near his waist. A blue beam is sent out. Zoom out.
Cut to the cat ghost. When it gets enveloped by the blue beam, it screams “Meow!” and is pulled away with the beam.
Cut to Danny, smiling as the cat ghost in the blue beam is pulled into the thermos. It smolders blue a little until Danny caps it and screws it tight.
Cut to Paulina, shocked as she is inside a white flash of light. The screen flashes black and white until it resumes the shape of the original Paulina. Paulina is now confused and in a normal supply room. She bends down and puts a hand to her head in a “what hit me?” way.
Cut to Danny, looking down and smiling.
DANNY: *Cool*! It worked!
Cut to a full shot of Danny.
DANNY: I can’t wait to tell (crouches down in the air and turns intangible) Tucker!
Danny flies out through the ceiling.
Cut to Paulina with a hand on her head, dazed and sparkling.
PAULINA: Where am I? (moves her hand onto her cheek and looks forward a little) And why do I feel that I’m special and adorable?
Her eyes pop with realization. Then she smiles and lifts her hand.
PAULINA: Because I *am*!
Zoom out. Paulina walks off, content.
Cut to an exit door next to curtains in the theater. A flash of light and two rings spread around the corner so we can’t see it. When the rings dissipate, a few sparkles pop and Danny steps cautiously from the corner, putting his hand on the doorframe. He then steps down the stairs and turns to the right, stopping and blinking.
Cut to a crowd of people in the theater, one person walks to his seat. Pan left. Two people is standing in the aisle. All the seats are full.
A careful observation shows numerous occurrences of the same two background characters filling the seats. Hit “pause” and look.
Cut to Danny, with his purple backpack.
DANNY: Huh. (puts a finger to his chin and arches an eyebrow) No Tuck. (walks away) He must’ve taken off.
Cut to the front of the theater and many rows of seats with the lights dimmed. “DEAD TEACHER IV” fills the screen with black letters in a red, drippy setting and a zombie-like professor holding a green rod.
This reminds me of my school’s feature length movie for the Film Festival, “Staff Infection”. It was about teachers turning into zombies and trying to eat the students. The virus was spread through the cookies that Student Government gave the teachers, and it was killed by none other than aged chicken soup from the school cafeteria. By the end, only three characters survived.
Cut to a bunch of people in the seats, specifically an old woman with glasses and a large bowl of popcorn.
Cut to the recessed lights. Tucker Foley swoops onscreen with his olive-green ghostly tail that resumes into legs.
TUCKER: (voiceover) Oh sure, that’s what he (looks down on the crowd) probably thought…
Tucker clenches his fists, then leans back and turns intangible, swooping down offscreen.
Cut to the old woman with popcorn next to a teenage girl with red hair, a pink shirt and a soda. Tucker swoops down and takes a handful of popcorn and eats it as the woman looks down at it.
TUCKER: (voiceover) But why would he even suspect--
Tucker leans to the girl’s cup and slurps from the straw, the girl looks at it uneasily. Pan left. Tucker takes the gray toupee of a mustachioed man’s head and puts it on the blond boy in the red shirt’s head. The boy looks shocked. Pan left more as Tucker takes a teenage boy with red hair and glasses’ arm and puts it around the black-haired girl adoring the Sayonara Pussycat sign. The boy looks smug but the girl gets angry and lifts a fist, shocking the boy.
Cut to above the crowd. Tucker floats up invisibly and looks down.
TUCKER: (voiceover) --that I was having the time of my fourteen-year-old life!
Tucker smiles and braces himself as a blow is heard landing and a boy yells “Ouch!” Tucker points and puts a hand on his chest and laughs. Then he flies off.
Cut to outside the theater. The marquee still reads “Dead Teacher IV”. Cars honk outside it and people crowd around it. Pan right around a corner of the street. Zoom in on a pink car with a yellow surfboard on top.
Cut to a blonde, long haired surfer by the wheel, hanging a hand out the window and looking bored. His seatbelt is on.
SURFER: (leaning back and holding up a hand) Oh, man! (looks forward and leans down his hand) Booogus.
Cut to the man in the car. He grabs onto the wheel.
SURFER: Stupid car. *sigh* (leans back and throws his hands out) I wish you could just fly (puts his hands back on the wheel) over stuff so I wouldn’t have to sit here!
This is the second actual wish of What You Want.
Cut to the dashboard of the car. Green smoke wafts from the radiators.
DESIREE: So you wish it--
Cut to the surfer’s confused face as smoke wafts over it.
DESIREE: --so shall it be.
The green smoke stops wafting. The surfer looks down, arching an eyebrow.
SURFER: What the heck?
Cut to the radio. The surfer starts to turn a dial and the arrow goes right, then left, then right again.
SURFER: Hey! This isn’t my station!
Cut to the surfer’s pink car with the yellow board on top in the street. The surfer is shocked as his car glows green, the tires turn horizontally, and it blasts off with green clouds spreading. The surfer yells out in terror.
Cut to a bunch of bright, purple buildings. The green-glowing pink car swoops over all of them.
Cut to the doors of the megaplex with a woman at a box office counter. A glass door opens and Danny walks out.
Cut to Danny, a little disappointed with his backpack in his back. Suddenly, his ghost sense goes off and he is taken by surprise, looking at it. He then looks up.
Cut to the white sky. Desiree swoops up and turns to the camera, looking down and smiling. She then loops over and flies away.
Cut to Danny, looking up.
DANNY: Geez, lady! (looks angry and hunches his shoulders) Don’t you ever take a break?!
Danny then looks up again.
Cut to the sky. The flying car swoops onscreen and loops around, flying offscreen.
DANNY: A flying car?
Cut to Danny on the ground by the box office. He turns to the theater and runs past a potted plant behind the box office. Pan left across three ticket booths with employees in them as a flash of light comes from behind the booth and two blue rings pass up and down. Danny Phantom steps from behind the booth and takes flight.
Cut to the car. The surfer is terrified at the wheel and is yelling out. Danny flies up to it with two arms out and his tail cascading in the back.
Cut to the surfer, scared and his long hair blowing in the wind. Danny drifts down to the window.
DANNY: Hey! Slow down, Jeff Gordon! You’re going over the speed limit!
Danny looks behind him, then turns back to the man. The man looks up at him.
DANNY: And the height limit!
Close-up on the surfer. He wails.
Cut to Danny flying next to the possessed car. The car zooms away, Danny looks exasperated. He then looks below as Tucker with his ghostly tail flies under him, putting a hand to his mouth.
TUCKER: Don’t sweat this one, Danny. (puts his hands forward) I’m on it!
Danny looks smug and happy as Tucker zooms away with green rings and sparkles behind him. Then Danny looks concerned and stops suddenly in mid-air, looking wide-eyed with his hands at his side.
DANNY: Huh?!
Cut to over the countryside with buildings and houses in the distance. The flying car flies in and flies off. Tucker is seen from the back and follows the car.
Close-up on Danny. Zoom in.
DANNY: *Tucker*?!
Fade to black.
-Cut to commercial-
