Ratchet and Clank meets Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Transcript

Opening
(2001 Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies logo shown; opening titles read, "Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies Present an O Entertainment production - Ratchet & Clank meet Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius".)

(Opening shot: snap to a base of giant satellite dishes at sunrise; tilt down a barbed wire fence to its warning sign. The following text is displayed: "Colorado Tracking Station, 7:26 A.M.". Cut to inside a control room and pan through as a man walks past, a bunch of other men sit at their monitors and work. Cut to a slow pan from behind the mens' heads at the flashing radars, stop on one of them; a bespectacled man is watching it.)

Man: Uh, you'd better have a look at this, sir.

(Cut to frame the man in the front, their bodies tinged in the green glare. Behind him, someone steps up: a robust military captain dressed up in fine fashion]

General: Ah... (Close-up of the radar, showing something moving) Commercial flight?

(Cut to a profile view of them.)

Man: Uh, no. Too fast, sir.

General: One of our own?

(Cut to a flight monitor on the panel; it displays various flights.)

Man: Air Force has nothing scheduled.

(Cut back to the two and zoom in on the general.)

General: We've got ourselves a bogey.

(An alarm light begins to flash and buzz; cut to a close-up of two jets on a plane being fired up. It takes flight into the air to join three others; they fly past a tower and through the sky before splitting up and taking routes of their own through a myriad of clouds. The plane with the number 21 on its front flies into view; cut to its armored pilot in the cockpit.)

Pilot: Orange Leader to Delta Group. (Close-up of the radar, zooming in.) Anticipate visual contact, uh...now.

''[As he finishes, the scene cuts to something barely visible through the clouds. It resolves into a silver rocket ship with red cans around the bottom and jet on the back; and its tail is yellow with a dark atom symbol painted on the front. Each of its two seats sit a boy. the first sits up front and steers the rocket. His head is abnormally larger than normal, with a mass of dark brown hair that curls at the top. His eyes are large and blue, and he wears a vivid red T-shirt. This is Jimmy Neutron, whose appearance and behavior mark him as a really smart kid. Behind him sits his passenger: a roley-poley boy with short, reddish-orange hair that sticks out of his head like balloons, and small eyes framed by round, brown glasses. He wears a red and orange striped shirt, a red suspender frames the shoulder facing us. This is Carl Wheezer. Zoom in slowly on the boys; a robotic dog peeks out from Jimmy's seat: metallic with a golden tipped nose, eyes shaped like flashlights, and a brain that revolves electricity under a glass top. This is Goddard, and he barks twice as Jimmy looks over. Close-up on the shocked pilot.)''

Pilot: Holy cow pie!

Jimmy Neutron: Hi. Nice antiques. Gotta blast!

[the rocket blasts up]

Jimmy Neutron: Fusion mix stable, engines cycling at one million gigajoules. Cool, We didn't blow up.

Carl Wheezer: (pants) Great! (leaning out, looking at the jets) Uh, Jimmy? I-I think they want us to pull over!

Jimmy Neutron: Well, No time for that, Carl. Stand by with the satellite!

(Carl holds up a toaster with an antenna and satellite dish attached to it.)

Carl Wheezer: Okay... (weak chuckle) What do I do again?

Jimmy Neutron: You're the deployment system, Carl! As soon as we clear the atmosphere, you just...throw it.

Carl Wheezer: (pauses) Right.

Jimmy Neutron: Prepare to leave the atmosphere!

Walking Home/Retroland Poster/Jimmy's Lab/Trying to Convince Judy
[Jimmy, Carl and Sheen are walking down the street]

Carl: Come on, Jimmy. Some of the greatest inventors started as complete, hopeless failures, too.

Sheen: Yeah.

Jimmy: Well, thank you, Carl. I-I feel better, I think.

Carl: I'm glad.

Sheen: That's good. [notices the poster] Hey, Retroland Theme Park. Check it out. Meet Ultra Lord. Live!

Jimmy: Look, it’s the state-of-the-art, bone-warping gravity ride.

Sheen: I can hang out with Ultra Lord.

Carl: And there's a petting zoo.

Jimmy: Well, look at this.

Sheen: No, meet Ultra Lord live.

Carl: Llamas and capybaras.

Sheen: Who cares? Meet Ultra Lord live.

Carl: Yeah, but I’m gonna touch a llama.

Jimmy: Guys, guys, we have got to go to the grand opening tonight.

Sheen: Yeah!

Carl: Yeah, uhhh... but my folks won’t let me stay out after dark.

Jimmy: Well, it is a school night. Pukin’ Pluto, there’s gotta be something we can do. It’s the grand opening.

[Nick Dean skates up on his skateboard]

Nick Dean: Sneak out.

Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen: Huh? What?

Nick Dean: You heard me, dweebs. Sneak out.

Carl Wheezer: Yeah, but my parents sorta told me...

Nick Dean: [laughs] Parents? What, are you guys gonna be kids forever? What your parents don't know won't hurt 'em, right?

Jimmy Neutron: But, Nick, sneaking out is so... so... barbaric!

Ratchet: Yeah, I think he's right. I'm not sure their parents would approve of that.

The Yolkians get the Satellite/The Search is Over!
[Jimmy's satellite drifts through space. Suddenly a beam from a chicken shaped spaceship abducts it.]

Ooblar: (plays with the toaster until a slice of toast pops out) It's all right, it's all right! I'll handle this. (starts to interact with the toast) HELLO!

(silence)

Ooblar: WHAT GALAXY ARE YOU FROM?!?!

King Goobot: Ooblar.

Ooblar: WHERE IS YOUR LEADER?!?

King Goobot: Ooblar, stop it. It's toast.

Ooblar: Oh... [picks up the toast] Hello, Toast! I greatly admire your ship.

[

Computer voice: Beginning transmission from Earth.

[

Jimmy Neutron: [on the screen] ''Greetings from Planet Earth! I'm Jimmy Neutron, and you're an alien life form. I welcome the opportunity...''

King Doobot: What a big head.

Jimmy Neutron: ..for the mutual exchange of scientific knowledge and universal brotherhood.

[Goddard barks on screen]

Jimmy Neutron: [on the screen] ''This here is my dog, Goddard. And this that you're looking at is my room. That's where I sleep.''

'''[Ooblar munches on the toast. On the screen, Jimmy holds up a picture of his parents]'''

Jimmy Neutron: [on the screen] ''And this is my mom and dad right here. Mom, Dad.''

King Goobot: Freeze that image!

[Ooblar drops his toast, and King Goobot goes up to the paused image of Jimmy's parents, getting himself an evil grin]

King Goobot: They look... delicious. The search is over! [laughs]

[The chicken ships speed towards Earth]

Sneaking Out
Jimmy Neutron: What good is it to be a genius if you can’t even go out on a school night? Goddard, options.

'''[Goddard opens his panel. Words appear on his screen. The words say "Apologize, your parents love you." ]'''

Voice on Goddard's screen: Apologize; Your parents love you.

Jimmy Neutron: Next.

'''[Words show up on his screen. "Create time capsule. Escape to future"]'''

Voice on Goddard's screen: ''Create a time capsule. Escape to the future.''

Jimmy Neutron: That'll take too long. Next.

[Then, words appear saying "Build Goddard a female poodle."]

Voice on Goddard's screen: Build Goddard a female poodle.

Jimmy Neutron: Goddard, this is serious.

'''[Goddard whimpers. Words appear on screen saying "Sneak out"]'''

Voice on Goddard's screen: Sneak out.

Jimmy Neutron: That's it. Barbaric problems call for barbaric solutions. Phone, please.

[Jimmy uses Goddard's ear as a phone to call Carl.]

Jimmy Neutron: Carl, it’s me. You get permission? Me neither. It turns out parents don’t understand psychology. Tell Sheen to meet us at Retroland in one hour. We’re sneakin’ out.

[The heroes look anxiously at each other]

Clank: I don't think i like where this is going.

Elaris: Neither do I.

No Parents/Celebration
Jimmy Neutron: [looking in the fridge] Hey, Mom, did you get any more Purple Flurp?

[Of course, his mom isn't there, so there's no answer]

Jimmy Neutron: Mom?

'''[Jimmy shuts the fridge, but then, sees the letter left on it. he takes it off the fridge and reads it out]'''

Jimmy Neutron: [Reading the letter] 'Dear Son/Daughter, we have gone to Florida for an extended vacation.'

Carl Wheezer: 'Love, your parents.'

[We see Sheen on the street, with the same letter Jimmy has]

Sheen Estevez: Yeah! My parents went to Florida, too!

Jimmy Neutron: That's weird. [he looks at some kids in the street, all with the same letter that Jimmy and Sheen got before them, and are all looking around for their parents] From the look of it, I'd say a  lot  of parents are gone.

Carl Wheezer: [with the same letter Jimmy, Sheen, and the other kids have] Well, uh... did they all go to Florida?

Sheen Estevez: Maybe they went to get juice or something?

Carl Wheezer: I don't digest pulp well; it makes me bloaty.

Jimmy Neutron: Goddard, scan for adult life-forms.

[Goddard does a scan of all of Retroville for adults]

Jimmy Neutron: Just as I thought; there are absolutely no adults anywhere within radar. They're gone! The whole city! No parents!

Carl Wheezer: No parents.

Sheen Estevez: Hmmmm....

[the 3 of them gasp suddenly, realizing their wish came true]

Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen: NO PARENTS!!!

[They, followed by the other kids, run off, celebrating]

Building Rocketships/Blasting Off
'''[In the early morning light, the kids and our heroes are at Retroland, turning the rides into rocketships. The song 'Go Jimmy Jimmy' plays in the background, as Jimmy, Goddard, and Ratchet are supervising]'''

Jimmy Neutron: OK, Ben, that's good. Let it down slow. [walks around] Two more turns, Emma. Not too tight.

''[A girl screws a nut with a massive wrench. Jimmy checks some tape on a rocket]''

Jimmy Neutron: Yup. Tape adhesion is within operational limits. [glances at something off screen.] Oh! What? Cindy? Cindy, what did you do to that intergalactic starship?

[Cindy and Libby's ship is covered in female things, like flowers, stickers, and ribbons]

Cindy Vortex: We thought that the deep recesses of space could use a feminine touch.

Libby Folfax: What do you think, guys?

It's Great, eh, Jimmy?

Jimmy Neutron: Yeah, it's OK, I guess. [to himself] They kinda ruined it, though.

[Jimmy, Goddard, and Bob check out Sheen at the Ultra-Lord stand]

Sheen Estevez: Hey, guys, do these fusion reactors need fuel rods?

Jimmy Neutron: Come on, Sheen, it's not rocket science! You just have to... [realizes] Actually, I guess it is rocket science.



[Jimmy, Goddard, and Bob walk away]

Sheen Estevez: OK. [He throws the fuel rods away, and they explode when they hit the ground]

[Jimmy sprays some paint on a paper on a rocketship ride]

Jimmy Neutron: And for the final touch...(He rips the paper out, revealing the Neutron logo on the rocket's tailfin.]



[Later, at dusk, our heroes and the kids are gathered while Jimmy is on the stage)

Jimmy Neutron: Good work, everybody. We're ready for intergalactic travel.

Nick Dean: Neutron, this is gonna work, right?

Cindy Vortex: Yeah, Jimmy. What if it doesn't work?

Jimmy Neutron: It will work! [almost falls off of the nail he's standing on] I'm 95% sure it will.

Cindy Vortex: 95?

Jimmy Neutron: Yeah.

Cindy Vortex: Yeah, and the other 5%?

Jimmy Neutron: [hesitantly] We blow up.

[the kids and our heroes gasp, murmur, and look at one another with shocked expressions]

Melman: Uhh, ok, is it officially too late to change our minds?

Jimmy Neutron: But just a little. Look, a 95 is still an 'A'.

Nick Dean: Yeah, I can deal with that. I never got a 95 in my life.

Cindy Vortex: You heard the man! Stop sucking your thumbs and let's light this candle!

[''The kids and our heroes fasten their seatbelts and pull down their safety bars, Cindy and Libby put on their headphones as speakers. Sheen puts on his mask, and Carl uses his inhaler. Jimmy and Goddard are in their rocket ship)''

Ratchet: Here we go.

Jimmy Neutron: Goddard, initiate launch sequence.

Goddard: [speaking in automatic voice] Please make sure your seat belts are fastened and remember to keep your hands and arms inside the vehicles at all times.

(Jimmy inserts a quarter. The rocket blasts off. Thomas rides Star Explorer.]

[Ratchet ''blasts off his Star Explorer. As 'Kids in America' starts playing in the background, The "Bat Outta Heck" ride starts flying in the sky, as does the eyeballs from 'Eye in the Sky'. Cindy and Libby's intergalactic starship starts to fly out, the swinging dragon boat ride starts spinning and flies out in the sky, the roller coaster rides down and flies out. Then, the Ferris wheel breaks off it's supports and flies in the sky. The Octo-Puke ride starts spinning and flies out. Then, the ride "Flutter By" spins very fast. Carl screams as the butterfly lets go, and races off. Then, the other kids' rides and the other heroes' rockets started flying, as they leave Retroland)''

Jimmy Neutron: Come on, everyone. Get in formation. Carl, Melman, you're both too low.

Carl: Come on, you stupid butterfly.

[Carl's butterfly and Melman's Astro Ambulance fly up to the others]

Sheen: Go, Counterparts! Go!

Marty: Crack-a-lackin' to the max-a-lackin!!!

Jimmy Neutron: Hang on. Now we're passing through the stratosphere. Now the mesosphere. Entering ionosphere.

Carl Wheezer: Now I know they all end in "phere"!

Jimmy Neutron: This is it, baby. Engaging pulse rockets.... Now!

[The rockets turned off and they fall, everyone screams]

Jimmy Neutron: [with his eyes closed] Come on, come on, come on, come on.

'''[The rocketships flare up, then break through Earth's orbit, and set off into space. Everyone cheers!]'''
