[ Scene opens outside a quaint little house in Everytown, USA. Colin, 
Randy's friend is standing outside the front door. He quickly walks to the 
camera.]

Colin: 'Kay so one time Randy Beaman got sucked into a video game 'cause 
he was so good at it and he had to save the video game world and he was in 
the really big robot with lots of lasers on it and he fought all these 
icky monsters and he rescued the princess and then you know what? She 
KISSED him! Eeawwwwww!!!

[ Colin makes a disgusted face and then looks back at the camera.]

Colin: 'Kay 'bye.

[ Colin walks back to his front door and camera fades to black.]

[ Scene opens in darkness. A small dot of light appears in the center of 
the screen. It grows slowly until it becomes the Little Flame. He is 
sitting on his typical candle and holder and the light he creates shows a 
modern home office. His candle holder is sitting next to a computer 
monitor.]

Little Flame: [ Yawns.] Whoa, that was a long nap. I wonder how long I've 
been asleep. [ He looks around.] What's all this stuff? Where's the old 
parchment and inkwell?

[ Hands appear and place themselves on the keyboard. They begin tapping 
away and the flame watches as words begin to appear on the screen.]

Little Flame: Oh, I get it now. That's pretty neat! Well let's see what 
you've got so far. Hmmm...

Little Flame: "Project Yakko, by J. L. Morreale" Nice title.

Little Flame: "Apologies to Soeishinsha and U.S. Manga Corps."
              "Apologies to Warner Bros. and Steven Spielberg." Oh, so 
you're borrowing other people's property, eh? Good idea, acknowledging 
their ownership and all. Of course, since this is a parody you're writing, 
you don't really have to get permission. It's a nice gesture, though.

[ The fingers stop typing. The flame watches for a bit and gets impatient.]

Little Flame: How about starting the story in a place? You know, just get 
a setting going and see where it goes from there?

[ The fingers start typing again and the flame looks on approvingly.]

Little Flame: Let's see "Outer Space" That's interesting. I'm aglow with 
anticipation.

[ Scene fades out and back in to outer space. The camera pans past stars 
and finally focuses in on a Space Shuttle. The camera cuts to a close up 
of the Shuttle, and a large gloved hand closes on a dial, twists it, and 
releases. Camera zooms out.]

Marita: Oh Flavio! This is so boring! I thought spacewalking would be more 
exciting than this!

Flavio: I agree, my little cream puff. This is not the way the travel 
agent described it at all. I shall write a complaint to their main office 
at once!

[ Cut to inside the Shuttle. Mindy is floating around in the cockpit, 
giggling, while Buttons is desperately trying to float over to her so he 
can grab her. Buttons looks out of the front window and notices a light 
heading toward them. His eyes widen in horror.]

[ Cut to outside, where Flavio and Marita continue to float in their space 
suits.]

Marita: Flavio? Do you see that? [ She points in the direction of the 
light.]

Flavio: Yes, I do. I wonder what it could be.

[ Cut to behind the Space Shuttle. Gina Embryo is in a space suit with a 
rocket pack. She is spying on the Hippos with a pair of binoculars.]

Gina: This is the worst yet! Somehow these poor, defenseless hippos have 
found their way into outer space. I must find a way to return them to 
their natural habitat. I say, what's that?

[ Gina lifts her binoculars and looks toward the approaching light and 
squints into them. Through the binoculars she sees that the light is 
actually a ball of fire heading right for them.]

Gina: My babies! I must find a way to protect them! 

[ Gina flips a switch and her rocket activates, sending her rushing toward 
the Hippos.]

[ Cut to inside the shuttle. Mindy is now sitting on the control panel and 
randomly flipping switches and pushing buttons. Buttons almost has her 
when the Shuttle's boosters fire. The motion knocks Mindy comfortably into 
the pilot's chair and Buttons flat against the wall. Buttons yelps in 
alarm and is flattened by the impact. Mindy giggles]

[ Cut to the Hippos watching the fireball as it gets dangerously close. 
Gina is rapidly approaching.]

Gina: I'll save you!

[ The Shuttle zooms away and the cords that link the Hippos to it got taut 
and snatch them away, leaving Gina alone in the path of the asteroid. It 
screams past her, sending her spinning. When she comes to a stop she is 
badly scorched.]

Gina: Hippos... safe. Will now... seek medical... care. [ Passes out.]

[ Cut to Flavio and Marita being dragged away by the Shuttle.]

Marita: Oh, this is much more exciting. I would like to do this again, 
Flavio!

Flavio: Anything for you, my dear.

[ The asteroid streaks toward the Earth, enters the atmosphere and makes a 
beeline for Warner Bros. Studios. It comes within inches of striking, but 
instead comes to a sudden stop, revealing itself to be the watertower. The 
watertower comes to a gentle landing.]

[ Years later...]

[ Scene opens in a bedroom. A lump under the covers moves. Two feet poke 
out, but the figure is only seen from the waist down, although a pair of 
brown pants are modestly covering it. The figure walks over to a radio and 
flips it on.]

Narrator: NEWSREEL OF THE STARS! Dateline: 1930, the Warner Bros. Studio. 
Here at the studio's new animation department cartoonists toil endlessly 
to come up with new cartoon stars.

[ Cut to the studio's animation department. Thadius Plotz paces back and 
forth and animators scribble furiously at their art boards.]

Animator #1: How about an alien princess who decides she's married to the 
town pervert and refuses to let him see other girls?

Thadius Plotz: Too much dependency on cultural information.

Animator #2: How about a show about a pig who flies a W.W.I airplane?

Thadius Plotz: Not enough marketing potential.

Animator #3: How about a ditzy girl who had magical powers that come from 
jewelry that a talking cat gave her, who fights energy sucking demons and 
gives weird speeches?

Thadius Plotz: I thought I told you not to go on a drinking binge before 
coming to work. Get out of here! You're fired!

[ Suddenly one of the art boards shakes, and the Warners leap out of the 
paper.]

Warners: HELLOOOO NURSE!

Narrator: The Warners were completely out of control and ran amuck 
throughout the studio.

[ Scenes of the Warners running amuck.]

Warners: Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!

Narrator: The Warner's films (which made no sense) were locked away in the 
studio vault, never to be released. As for the Warners themselves they 
were locked away in the studio watertower, ALSO never to be released. The 
studio has disavowed all knowledge of the Warners to this very day, when 
the Warners escaped!

[ Cut back to the bedroom. The camera pans up the feet until the figure is 
revealed to be Yakko.]

Yakko: But you already knew that, didn't you?

[ Cut to outside the tower. Dot is at the bottom looking up.]

Dot: Yakko! C'mon Yakko! It's our first day at the new school!

[ The "WB" opens and Yakko pokes his head out.]

Yakko: Be right down!

[ Yakko leaps out and begins to fall. About halfway down wings sprout from 
his back and gently carry him to the ground. Once he lands, the wings fold 
up and disappear.]

Yakko: I learned that trick from Mink.

Dot: You're thinking of the wrong cartoon, Yakko. Let's go!

[ They hold hands and begin bouncing down the street. Cut to the middle of 
some other street. The camera zooms in on the small figure of Pinky 
standing there punching buttons on a hand-held device.]

Pinky: Now let's see. Poit! Um, six and two and fourteen. Hm. Narf. Ah!

[ He turns the device upside down and looks at the screen.]

Pinky: BEAN!!! Hahahahaha!!!

[ Pinky begins to roll and laugh when he is suddenly trampled by Yakko and 
Dot, who bounce away without even noticing him.]

Pinky: Zort!

[ Cut to inside the classroom. Yakko and Dot are standing in front, facing 
the other students while Miss Flamiel stands to one side. Over her dress, 
Miss Flamiel is wearing an apron with a chick painted on it, over which 
are the words "Piyo Piyo."]

Miss Flamiel: Class, I'd like you to meet our new students. [ To Yakko and 
Dot:] Please introduce yourselves.

Yakko: I'm Yakko.

Dot: And I'm Princess Angelina Contessa Louisa Francesca Banana Fanna Bo 
Besca The Third. [ She leaps into Miss Flamiel's arms.] But you can call 
me Dot!

Miss Flamiel: Oh, you naughty puppy child, get down at once.

[ Dot stays in her arms.]

Dot: I'm not a puppy.

Miss Flamiel: Monkey then!

Dot: I'm not a monkey.

Miss Flamiel: Well, then. What are you?

Dot: I'm cuuuuuuute!

[ Miss Flamiel dumps dot out of her arms.]

Miss Flamiel: That's quite enough! Now please find a desk and sit at it!

Yakko: Say, is that a monster in your pocket?

[ A pokemon suddenly leaps out from under Miss Flamiel's dress and runs 
off camera. Miss Flamiel yells in alarm.]

Miss Flamiel: You rotten little- To your seats, now!

Dot: [ Smiling.] Okay!

[ Dot and Yakko start to move to the back of the class.

Miss Flamiel: Not so fast! Yakko! Where is your uniform?

Yakko: I'm wearing pants.

Miss Flamiel: Not good enough, young man. You must wear a uniform in this 
class, or at least a shirt. Does anyone have an extra uniform?

[ Wakko raises his hand.]

Wakko: I think I do! [ He opens his Wacky-sack and rummages through it.] 
Hmm, bloomers, no. [ He pulls out Bulma and tosses her aside.] Trunks, no. 
[ He pulls out Trunks and tosses him aside.] Briefs, no. [ He pulls out 
brief and tosses him aside.] Bra, no! [ He pulls out Bra and tosses her 
aside.] Sorry, don't got it!

Miss Flamiel: Hm. Very well. Yakko, as punishment, you must clean this 
room after class tomorrow. 

Yakko: How 'bout during class?

Miss Flamiel: Absolutely not! [ She looks at the clock.] However, it's 
time for lunch.

[ Wakko smiles and starts to reach into his sack again.]

Miss Flamiel: Stop right there.

[ Cut to the field outside. Yakko and Dot are sitting together under the 
shade of a tree.]

Yakko: Interesting teacher, but we didn't torment her as much as we 
usually do.

Dot: We can't, yet. We're still building plot.

Yakko: Oh. Hey, over there! [ Yakko points off camera.] It's the Lion King!

Dot: No, Yakko. That's Kimba, the White Lion.

Yakko: Huh? Oh! Oh, yeah. Gee. How could I have possibly gotten those two 
mixed up?

Dot: It doesn't matter. Let's eat!

Yakko: Okay!

[ Dot pulls out a basket.]

Dot: I made us both baloney sandwiches!

[ Background music suddenly plays a riff from "Psycho."]

Yakko: Sure, I'll give that a try.

[ Slow motion shot punctuated by scary music as Yakko reaches into the 
basket, pulls out a sandwich, bites into it, and...]

Yakko: Mmmmmm! That's a good sandwich!

Dot: Thanks! Did I add enough Jell-O?

Yakko: No, it's perfect!

[ Camera cuts to the other side of the field as Yakko and Dot continue 
discussing the merits of the sandwiches. They are being spied on by Wakko, 
Bobby, Pesto, Squit and Boo. Wakko is drooling uncontrollably.]

Wakko: That lunch! It looks so yummy! I have to find a way to get it!

Pesto: You want me to whack 'em boss?

Wakko: No. I want to come up with a plan first.

Bobby: We're coo with that. Ain't that right?

Squit: Yeah, it's coo.

Pesto: I'm coo if you're coo.

Boo: Bawwwwk bawk bawwk.

Wakko: Good. I'll let you know what the plan is tomorrow.

[ Fade to next day. Dot is standing outside the water tower.]

Dot: Yakko! Time for school!

Yakko: Be right down!

[ The sound of something falling is heard and Yakko suddenly lands, takes 
Dot's hand, and they bounce away.]

[ Cut to the middle of a street some distance away. Pinky is pacing around 
and scratching his head.]

Pinky: Now what was I supposed to be looking for again? Oh, yes. "Be on 
the look out for the lookout for two unusual children. They will lead you 
to the source of-" Gah!

[ Pinky is squashed by Yakko and Dot as they bounce through.]

[ Cut to the classroom. Miss Flamiel is running the class but Yakko and 
Dot's seats are empty. Wakko is reading a passage from his textbook.]

Wakko: "The children were upstairs, snug in their beds, while Visions of 
Escaflowne danced in their heads.

[ Suddenly Yakko and Dot come bounding in and take their seats.]

Miss Flamiel: You two! Do you realize how late you are?

Yakko: Not as late as the fashion that inspired that apron you're wearing.

Miss Flamiel: I'll have no back-talk in my classroom!

Yakko: ?klat sdrawkcab tuoba woH

Miss Flamiel: Excuse me?

Yakko: Why? (gasp) Did you do something unladylike?

[ Deep red rises over Miss Flamiel's face like a thermometer until it 
reaches the top and explodes with a puff of smoke.]

Miss Flamiel: Enough! You will stand outside for the remainder of the day! 
And don't forget that you will clean this room after class!

[ Wakko watches Yakko leave the classroom and leans over to Boo and Pesto.]

Wakko: [ Whispering.] After class.

[ Cut to after class. Yakko and Dot are alone.]

Dot: I'll meet you outside when you're done. 

Yakko: 'Later 'sis.

[ Dot leaves.]

[ Yakko looks the room over. He pulls out a tiny capsule. He tosses it to 
the floor and in a puff of smoke it becomes a giant machine with the words 
"Bulma" and "Capsule" written on the side. The machine comes to life and 
begins cleaning the room at incredible speeds. Yakko hops onto a desk, 
props his feet up and relaxes as he watches the fun.]

[ Cut to outside. Dot is wandering around, minding her own business when 
suddenly a shadow falls over to her. She looks up and sees Boo and Pesto, 
both wearing sailor fuku. Boo is also wearing a bow on his head. They 
glare down at her.]

Pesto: Hey there girlie.

Dot: [ Coyly.] Hey yourself.

Pesto: Now you listen to me. We represent a very powerful person who has 
authorized us to rearrange your face if you don't do exactly as we say, 
capice?

Dot: I understood everything except "capice."

Pesto: Cute.

Dot: That's right.

Pesto: All right enough of that. I am Pesto, a Goodfeather and I demand 
respect.

Dot: Right. So who's that?

Pesto: That is Boo, the Beak of the North Star. Boo here has defeated the 
strongest men in the entire city. Trust me, this is one schoolgirl you 
don't want ta mess wit.

Dot: [Giggling.] That isn't a schoolgirl. That's a chicken!

Pesto: Excuse me?

Dot: It's a giant chicken!

Pesto: Just what are you saying here? Are you saying that Boo is some kind 
of original recipe seven herbs and spices deluxe bucket with two sides, 
desert and a large drink here to entertain you? Is THAT what you're saying?

Dot: No, I'm just saying that he's a chicken. [ She jumps up and removes 
the bow.] See?

[ Pesto looks at Boo and his jaw drops.]

Pesto: Boo is a chicken! Dat's it!

[ Pesto launches himself at Boo, who looks dutifully surprised. They fall 
into a cloud of smoke as they tussle.]

Pesto: I gotcher chicken right here!

Boo: Bawk!

Pesto: Veal parmesan!

Boo: Bawk bawk!

Pesto: Fettucine alfredo!

Boo: Bawwwwk!

[ Dot shrugs and walks away. She goes to the front doors of the school and 
Yakko walks through.]

Yakko: All done!

Dot: Great! Let's go take in a movie.

Yakko: Sounds good to me.

[ They leave. Cut back to where Pesto and Boo had been fighting. They have 
both been knocked out and are lying on the ground. Wakko walks up the them 
followed by Bobby and Squit. Wakko scribbles some notes onto a pad. He 
shows what he wrote to Bobby and Squit, who nod their heads 
enthusiastically and fly off. Wakko rubs his hands together and licks his 
lips. Fade out.]

Narrator: It's time for another "Good idea/ Bad idea."

[ Screen shows the words "Good idea."]

Narrator: Good idea.

[ Mr. Skull Head is sitting at a table eating.]

Narrator: Eating a dinner prepared by Kasumi.

[ Mr. Skull Head rubs his tummy happily.]

[ Screen shows the words "Bad idea."]

Narrator: Bad idea

[ Mr. Skull Head is sitting at a table eating.]

Narrator: Eating a dinner prepared by... Akane.

[ Mr. Skull Head clutches his throat and fall off his chair.]

Narrator: The End.

[ Screen fades to a smoke filled lounge. On a stage is Dot, standing next 
to a table with a glass of water sitting on it.]

Yakko's Voice: And now, "Dot's Poetry Corner."

Dot: [ Clears her throat.] "A future." A future. A girl. A clumsy girl. A 
boy. A mega-playboy.  Morons. Thank you.

[ She bows as the audience "clicks" their approval.]

Yakko's Voice: This has been another visit to "Dot's Poetry Corner."]

[ Fade to black.]

[ Camera opens on a city scene. Happy music plays as Yakko and Dot wander 
around. They buy a dinner and chow down on it. They ride a glass elevator 
and admire the view of the watertower from it. They buy ice cream and chow 
down. Finally they go to a movie theater and walk in. Cut to inside the 
theater. They are sitting in the front row munching on popcorn as the 
movie plays. Hello Nurse appears on-screen.]

Yakko: [ Standing.] Hellooooooooo Nurse!

Crowd: Shhhhhh!

Dot: Boys. Go fig.

Hello Nurse: What's this? [ She looks down and sees a pop can.] Litter! 
Who could have done this?

[ She hears a noise in the distance.]

Hello Nurse: Who's there?

[ Footsteps approach. A figure faintly appears and Hello Nurse watches, 
frozen by terror as it gets closer with each step. Finally the figure gets 
close enough for it to clearly be seen as Mr. Skull Head. He fills up the 
screen and it cuts back to Hello Nurse who raises her hands and lets out a 
scream that would make Fae Rae proud. Cut back to the audience, where 
Yakko and Dot are rolling on the theater floor, laughing uncontrollably. 
Unbeknownst to them, they are being filmed by Bobby, who is sitting behind 
them. Cut to after the movie. Yakko and Dot are walking together. They 
notice a fence with a sign that reads "Danger: Construction. Keep Out."]

Dot: Let's go see what's in there!

Yakko: Okay!

[ They hop in. There is furious construction work going on, even though it 
is late in the evening. One of the construction workers notices Yakko and 
Dot.]

Ralph: Hey! Youse guys can't be in here.

[ Yakko and Dot ignore him.]

Ralph: Youse needs to get out. Dis is for you're uh, own safety!

[ Yakko and Dot finally notice him for the first time. They smile, wave 
and go on wandering through the site. Ralph walks up to them.]

Ralph: I'm gonna make sure you leave now.

Yakko: Let's play a game instead. [ He taps Ralph.] Tag! You're it!

Ralph: Why, you!

[ Ralph lunges for them, but they run away, laughing. He gives chase. They 
run throughout the construction site. Unfortunately for Ralph, he keeps 
getting hit by dropped wrenches, red-hot rivets, a port-a-potty, an anvil, 
and finally a grand piano. Ralph's head bursts through the top of the 
piano. Little stars and birdies fly over his head and his teeth are now 
piano keys. They play a little tune and Ralph passes out. Yakko and Dot 
hop away. Squit flies down next to Bobby. Squit has the camcorder and 
Bobby is wearing a hard hat.]

Squit: Say, the boss'll probably be real happy we got all this on camera, 
huh?

[ A wrench falls down and crushes Squit. Bobby snatches the camcorder 
away.]

Bobby: Gimmie dat! It's time to report in.

[ Bobby flies away. Squit pushes the wrench away and staggers around. His 
eyes have become little spirals.]

Squit: You lead, I'll follow.

[ Squit clumsily takes to the air and follows Bobby.]

[ Cut to Wakko sitting inside an advanced theater. Bobby flies in, drops a 
videotape in Wakko's hand and flies away. Wakko pops the tape inside the 
VCR and watches highlights from the day. Finally, a lightbulb comes to 
light above his head.]

Wakko: That's it!

[ Wakko runs over to his Wackey-sack and does some more rummaging.]

Wakko: I need something to give me an edge!

[ He starts tossing out guns, battle suits and other weapons, rejecting 
them all.]

Wakko: No, no, no. NO. Nonono. Oh, please! Here we go!

[ He stands, the camera at his back so that what he is looking at cannot 
be seen.]

Wakko: I'll be sure to get that lunch with this! I can't wait until 
tomorrow!

[ Wakko walks out of the video room and into the bedroom. He hops into his 
bed and covers up.]

Wakko: Good night.

Yakko: G'night!

Dot: Night!

[ Fade out.]

[ Next day. Dot is standing at the bottom of the watertower.]

Dot: Time for school! We're gonna be late Yakko!

Yakko: Coming!

[ Yakko hops down and he and Dot bounce away together.]

[ Cut to the middle of a street not far away. Pinky is wandering around, 
checking the handheld gizmo.]

Pinky: Now let me see. Poit. I'm sure that I'm close. In fact. The two I'm 
looking for are heading right for me. I should be able to see them now. 
Wheeee!!! I can! They're coming this way! Hrlk!!

[ Pinky is squashed by Yakko and Dot as they bounce their way down the 
street.]

[ Cut to the outer gate of the school. Yakko and Dot come to a stop 
because Wakko is blocking the way.]

Yakko: Hey, Wakko. What's going on?

Wakko: Dot's lunches are what's going on. I have in my hand, the ultimate 
weapon!

Yakko: A cassette-tape of Yanni's latest album?

Wakko: More powerful than that! Have a look at this!

[ Wakko thrusts out his hand. Yakko and Dot gasp in amazement.]

Dot: But this... This means that we're...

Wakko: Yes! I'm you're brother!

Yakko: I always wondered why we all live together. [ Yakko takes the photo 
and examines it.] Not a very good picture, though. [ He tosses it away.]

Dot: Gosh, Wakko. It's keen that you went to all that trouble, but all you 
had to do was ask. I'd be glad to share my lunches with you!

Wakko: Really?

Dot: Sure! [ She offers the basket to him.] Have as much as you want!

Wakko: Oh, thank you! Thank you! [ Wakko takes the basket and turns it 
upside-down over his mouth. A seemingly endless stream of food is dumped 
into his gaping maw.]

Thadius Plotz: [ Off-camera.] No! No! No! [ He walks up to the Warners.] 
You can't do that! You have to keep fighting until the show is over! We're 
not even half done yet!

Yakko: Relax "TP." We've got it all under control.

Thadius Plotz: What exactly do you mean? 

Yakko: We'll keep the story going. The first steps have already been 
taken.

Thadius Plotz: Well... Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Wakko: Trust us!

Thadius Plotz: Okay. But don't mess thing up like you did the last time I 
let you direct!

Dot: Would we do that?

Thadius Plotz: Hmph! [ He storms off.]

Yakko: Well, sibs. Let's go get ready!

Wakko: We're halfway there!

[ Fade to black.]
