FADE IN:

INT. - A SPACE STATION - NIGHT

We see a BRIDGE, spanning a very deep, mechanical ABYSS. A LONE HUMAN


- in a space JUMPSUIT - walks across the span.

CLOSE ON THE HUMAN - his face obscured by SHADOW. He pulls out a LASER
SWORD which flares to life. With a STAR at the end of the blade, it looks like
a magic wand.

The GLOW from the light illuminates the face of TIMMY TURNER.

From out of nowhere, springs a huge, CAPED BAD GUY, also holding a light-
saber. An amazing duel ensues across the bridge.

As the two figures fight to the death, an annoying, web-eared reptilian


CREATURE steps onto frame. The fight stops to take this in.

WEB EARED GUY


Meesa no think you two be shouldda
fighting boo boo gee gee baa baa...

The two take a beat, then shove him off the bridge.

WEB EARED GUY


AAAAAGH!!!!

After a beat, Timmy and the bad guy snap back to their fight.

BAD GUY
Timmy! Join me! The dark side is stronger!

TIMMY
I'll never join you!!

BAD GUY
But on the dark side, you get to wear
black! And look at this cape! Girls dig the
cape!!

TIMMY
I don't care what girls dig! I'm ten!!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 3

The bad guy - (comically and bloodlessly)- cuts off Timmy's hand, which
tumbles into the abyss with his laser sword. Timmy falls over the bridge and
hangs by his remaining hand.

TIMMY
Hey! I've only got two of those!

BAD GUY
It's okay, in the end, you get another one. A
really cool robot one.

TIMMY
How do you know all this?

CLOSE ON BAD GUY

BAD GUY
Because I am your father...

He pulls off his mask. We see it's COSMO.

COSMO
Your Godfather!! Gimme five!!

Timmy, hanging from the bridge, releases his grip to slap Cosmo's hand and
plummets OS.

TIMMY
Cosmo! You idiot!! AAAA!

CUT TO:

ON TIMMY FALLING - at a million miles a second.

TIMMY
Help!!!

Wanda POOFS! In as her normal self. Then, POOF! She becomes a gigantic
PAINT BRUSH, which fills in the scene behind Timmy. When she's done,
Timmy hovers a hundred feet above a New York SKYLINE. Of course, after a
beat, he falls.

TIMMY
AAAAAA!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 4

As he falls, the Wanda Paint Brush comes into frame again and changes
Timmy's street clothes into a AMAZING SPIDER-LIKE COSTUME, complete
with mask. Oh, and his other hand is back.

TIMMY
Awesome! I'm Arach-Nid Kid!!!! This is
more like it!!

Timmy fires WEBBING from his hands and swings from building to building.

TIMMY
I can do whatever an arachnid can!!

CUT TO:

EXT. - THE WINDOW OF "THE DAILY TRUMPET" - SAME TIME

Wanda, in 60's GARB, looks out the window of a high office building.

WANDA
Girls! Look! It's Arach-Nid Kid!!

Timmy slaps against the window, like a bug on a windshield, with a


<<GRUNT.>>

He slides off the window and spins a WEB to stop his fall. His "spider sense"
tingles. He sees a falling PERSON and swings to pluck the plummeting
FIGURE out of the sky just in time. It's the Web Eared Guy from the first
scene. Again.

WEB EARED GUY


Meesa so thank you! Meesa no fall and
go boo boo!

Timmy groans and drops him to his death. Again.

WEB EARED GUY


Aaaaagh!!!

Timmy swings as MAGIC SPARKLES surround him and he POOFS away.

CUT TO:

INT. LAND ROVER - SAME TIME

MAGIC SPARKLES surround Timmy. POOF! Timmy, now wearing SAFARI GEAR,
lands in the front seat. Next to him: A GLASS OF WATER. The ground shakes
and the water in the glass RIPPLES slightly.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 5

A HUGE WANDA TYRANNOSAURUS EYE appears in the WINDOW next to


Timmy.

WANDA TYRANNOSAURUS
RRRRRAAAGGGHHH!!!

TIMMY
Aaagh!!!!

EXT. - LAND ROVER - SAME TIME

A huge WANDA T-REX looms over the vehicle, ready to chomp it in half.
Timmy hits the gas and takes off. Wanda T-REX chases after him.

WIDEN TO REVEAL Cosmo, still dressed as the bad guy from the first scene,
in the passenger seat next to Timmy.

COSMO
Faster! You have to drive faster! She's
testy when she's hungry!!

TIMMY
It'd be a lot easier if I could reach the gas
pedal!

In the jeep: We see Timmy's feet dangling. Cosmo waves his wand and
Timmy's legs grow! He hits the gas, just as...

Wanda Tyrannosaurus slams her head against the side of the jeep and sends
it off the edge of a CLIFF. Wanda POOFS! Back into her normal self.

WANDA
Sorry, you guys!!

INT. - LAND ROVER

Cosmo and Timmy are terrified. Cosmo looks at his WATCH.

COSMO
Woo! Look at the time!

POOF! Cosmo disappears. Timmy climbs out, grabbing a BUTTERFLY NET that's
strapped to the jeep. As the jeep plummets OS, Timmy uses the net to grab an
outstretched tree BRANCH.

TIMMY
Whew! At least I didn't...
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 6

Timmy sees another T.REX, a real one - mouth open - below him.

TIMMY
...get eaten?

The branch bends! He slips off and falls toward the Tyrannosaur's open
mouth.

TIMMY
AAAAA!!!

GULP! He lands in the dinosaur's mouth... It snaps shut, swallowing Timmy


whole. No, really.

CUT TO:

INT. - THE TYRANNOSAUR'S BELLY - SAME TIME

Timmy's eyes blink in the darkness. He's fine.

TIMMY
COSMO!! WANDA!! WHERE ARE YOU!

Cosmo and Wanda's eyes float in from different sides.

WANDA
We're right here, Timmy!

POOF! Cosmo and Wanda's wands light up, like torches. Sure enough,
they're all inside the belly.

TIMMY
WAAA! I wish we were back in my own
room!

COSMO
We thought you'd never ask!

Wands are waved and... POOF!

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM - DAY

Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda POOF! Into Timmy's room. Timmy sees...

TIMMY
Huh??
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 7

TIMMY'S POV - EVERY MAGICAL CHARACTER HE'S EVER MET stands in his
room. He is still holding the butterfly net.

Cosmo, Wanda, JORGEN, JEFF THE ELF, SANTA, MS. CLAUS, THE EASTER
BUNNY, CUPID, THE APRIL FOOL, BABY NEW YEAR, THE FAIRY MESSENGER,
THE TOOTH FAIRY, JUANDISSIMO, MERLIN, BILLY CRYSTAL BALL, WIZZY, and
MAMA COSMA all smile at him, wearing party HATS and holding GIFTS.

The room is festooned with party DECORATIONS and a big SIGN that reads:
HAPPY FAIRY-VERSARY TIMMY!!

EVERYONE
Happy Fairy-Versary, Timmy!!!

TIMMY
Wow! It's every magical being I've ever
met!! Why are they here??

COSMO
They're here for the party!

WANDA
That's why we kept you occupied with
movie parodies! To distract you, so we
could round them all up!!

TIMMY
So you guys lied to me?

COSMO
Aw, it was just a little white lie!

WANDA
Relax, Timmy! It's a party! Everybody's
here!

Jorgen approaches, smiling.

JORGEN
Yes, Puny Turner, even I, the toughest
fairy in the universe, who fears nothing,
cannot help but be happy for ...
(spies Butterfly net)
AAAA! A deadly butterfly net!! I am as
frightened as a little kitten!!!

He slaps it away and drops into the fetal position. The Tooth Fairy lassos
Jorgen and calms him down.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 8

TIMMY
What's up with Jorgen?

WANDA
Butterfly nets are one of the few things in
the universe that fairy magic has no effect
on!

TIMMY
What? Why?

WANDA
Hey, if it floats and has wings, a butterfly
net can catch it! Besides, look at it! It's
hideous!

COSMO
Ah, net, shmet... Let's get this party
started!!!

POOF! Cosmo waves his wand and BALLOONS, STREAMERS and PARTY
FAVORS fall from the ceiling. Timmy is swarmed with Fairy-Versary well-
wishers who smile and pat him on the back.

EVERYONE
(Happy Fairy-Versay walla)

Timmy, thrilled about all of this, takes it all in. We PUSH past Timmy and out
the window and...

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. THE STREET OUTSIDE TIMMY'S HOUSE - SAME TIME

A BLACK VAN, with tinted windows so we cannot see who is inside, pulls into
scene.

MR. CROCKER (V.O.)


Heh! Heh heh! Heh!

The van continues several houses away from Timmy's house. We push in on
a tinted window and...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. THE VAN - SAME TIME

Crocker sits at the wheel of a high-tech van. RADAR SCREENS, COMPUTERS, and
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 9

FAIRY DETECTION DEVICES of all sorts line the walls. It is, essentially, a high-tech
Fairy Busting Bat Cave on wheels.

CROCKER
Excellent! I may have spent every penny of my
hard-earned teacher's salary on this high-tech
fairy detection van, but it shall all be worth it,
once I finally capture... A FAIRY GODPARENT!

Crocker flips a switch.

CUT TO:

EXT. THE VAN - SAME TIME

A SATELLITE DISH pops out of the top of the van and begins scanning the
neighborhood.

CROCKER
My sensors detect a high concentration of
magic, located in this neighborhood...in the
home of...

CUT TO:

INT. THE VAN - SAME TIME

Crocker pulls out a keyboard and starts tapping away. On a computer


screen, pictures of our KID CAST scroll by quickly. Chester, AJ, Trixie,
Veronica, Elmer, Sanjay, Tad and Chad... And finally it stops... on Timmy.

CROCKER
...Timmy Turner! I knew it! Now, to get a
closer look... activate stealth mode!

Crocker smacks a button labelled "Stealth Mode."

CUT TO:

EXT. THE VAN - SAME TIME

The van transforms into an ICE CREAM TRUCK. The satellite dish turns into
ICE CREAM CONE.

CROCKER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 10

They will never suspect! And now for


some high-tech, stealth music!

SFX: We hear a very lame version of "Pop Goes The Weasel." The truck
moves slowly down the street towards Timmy's house.

CROCKER
Heh! HEH HEH! Heh!

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Timmy takes in the glory that is his Fairy-Versary.

TIMMY
This is great! This is unbelievable! This is
confusing! What the heck is a Fairy-
Versary?

WANDA
It was exactly one year ago that we
became your fairy godparents!!

TIMMY
Is that a big deal or something?

SANTA CLAUS steps forward.

SANTA
Why, yes! A child must be especially nice
and not naughty to keep fairy godparents
for an entire year!!

JUANDISSIMO MAGNIFICO flies in.

JUANDISSIMO
You would be shocked and appalled to
realize how many children lose their
fairies before one year has transpired!
And now, I must dance!!

Juandissimo's shirt rips off as he dances. The EASTER BUNNY hops over.

EASTER BUNNY
Yeah! By this time...
(hides an EASTER EGG)
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 11

...mosta you squirts end up gettin' your


fairy godparents taken away.

TIMMY
Why?

Jorgen - now calm and wearing a TEENY TINY PARTY HAT - grabs Timmy.

Jorgen waves his wand and creates a PORTAL. In it, we see what happens
when a child reveals the existence of their fairies:

A gigantic version of "DA RULES" appears, and opens up... and, like a
magical vacuum cleaner, sucks two fairies away from a SAD CHILD. The
book slams shut.

JORGEN (V.O.)
Usually, by now, a child has done
something to reveal the existence of
their fairies and made them go away for
good!

The portal closes as CUPID and the APRIL FOOL come into scene.

CUPID
But you are that rare kid, who basically
managed not to blow it for 365 straight
days!

APRIL FOOL
That's what's up with that!!

TIMMY
April Fool? Who invited you?

APRIL FOOL
I brought the Shrimp Puffs!

The Fool pulls out a PLATE OF SHRIMP PUFFS. Everybody in the room winces.

EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM


EEEEEEEEWWW!!

TIMMY
Puffed up shrimp? What's up with that?

APRIL FOOL
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 12

More for me, that's what's up with that!

The Fool POOFS! An EXTRA HEAD onto his body and starts gobbling the
shrimp puffs as Timmy looks at the massive crowd.

EVERYONE
CONGRATULATIONS, TIMMY!!!

TIMMY
Cool! I mean Crud!! My parents are home
and my room is filled with loud, magic
people!

WANDA
Relax, Timmy, we've prepared for
everything!

COSMO
Which means Wanda prepared for
everything!

CUT TO:

EXT. TIMMY'S ROOM - CLOSE ON THE DOORKNOB

It's glowing and there are SPARKLES around it.

WANDA (V.O.)
I zapped your doorknob, so anyone who
touches it will instantly forget what they
were doing!!

Timmy's DAD enters scene and stands next to Timmy's door.

DAD
Oh, Timmy! What's that loud, almost
magical racket I hear coming from your
room...

Dad grabs the glowing doorknob and instantly loses his memory!

DAD
...mate! I had one in college! I should call
him!!

Dad - in a daze - walks away.

CUT BACK TO:


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 13

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM

ON TIMMY, COSMO AND WANDA

WANDA
I call it: "The Forget-Me-Knob!"

COSMO
C'mon, Timmy! Open your presents!!

TIMMY
Alright!!!

Lots of GIFTS are dropped on Timmy! He tears into them...

CUT TO:

GIFT OPENING MONTAGE

We have a cool SONG SEQUENCE as Timmy opens magical gift after


magical gift!

Cupid gives him a BOW with trick ARROWS. The Easter Bunny gives him a
carton of EXPLODING EGGS. Jorgen gives him a magic JET-PACK. The April
Fool gives him a magic GROUCHO GLASSES that obscure his identity --
basically if you wear them, people can't see through your disguise. However,
the glasses are ill-fitting and whenever we see Timmy wear them, they slip
and need to be pushed back up his nose.

Juandissimo gives Timmy a magic MIRROR. The Tooth Fairy gives him an
inexhaustible spool of magic DENTAL FLOSS. And, finally, Santa gives him a
magic BAG to carry everything in.

END MONTAGE

END OF PARTY - LATE AFTERNOON

The room is a mess. As the last remaining guests, The April Fool and The
Easter Bunny POOF away, Timmy puts the last of his gifts into the magic bag.

TIMMY
Wow! Awesome party, you guys! I better
put these gifts in a place nobody would
ever think to look!

He shoves the bag with all the stuff in it under his BED.

WANDA
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 14

Hang on, Timmy! There's one more gift!

COSMO
And it's the best one!

POOF! Jorgen reappears with A COVERED SILVER TRAY. Timmy removes the
cover, revealing a MUFFIN with a CANDLE poking out of it.

TIMMY
Wow. A...muffin?

JORGEN
Actually, puny, Earth Boy, it is your special
Fairy-Versary Muffin!!

COSMO
Don't let the horrible taste fool you! It's
an awesome gift!!

WANDA
Whoever eats the muffin, gets one rule-
free wish!!!

TIMMY
A rule free wish? I can wish for anything I
want? Love? Money? More wishes?
ANYTHING?

COSMO
You just can't wish for a better tasting
muffin! There are some things even
magic can't fix!

Jorgen gets in Timmy's face.

JORGEN
And only children who have lasted an
entire year, can be trusted with that kind
of a gift. SO DON'T GOOF IT UP!!!

Timmy absent - mindedly grabs the butterfly net to protect himself from
Jorgen's rage. Jorgen sees the butterfly net...

JORGEN
AAAGH!!!!!

And POOF! Explodes OS with a POOF heard 'round the world. Timmy looks
at the muffin.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 15

TIMMY
Man...this thing is amazing... but I've got
to be careful with it! I can only imagine
what would happen if it fell into the
wrong hands...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. CROCKER'S VAN - SAME TIME

ON A RADAR screen - we see a MUFFIN SHAPED "blip" on the screen as a


little GREEN LINE sweeps clockwise around.

CROCKER (V.O.)
Whatever that thing is, I can't wait to get
my hands it!

PULL BACK TO REVEAL CROCKER - in an Ice Cream Man Suit.

CROCKER
According to my sensors, there's a massive
muffin shaped source of fairy energy... In Timmy
Turner's house! And where there is fairy energy,
there are bound to be... FAIRY GODPARENTS!

Crocker reveals a very high-tech looking BUTTERFLY NET.

CROCKER
Once I capture a fairy using this special
butterfly net, I...MR. CROCKER... will go from
being a second rate, constantly mocked, fifth
grade teacher...to a first class, NOT
constantly mocked, SUPREME MAGICAL
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!

He turns a KNOB on the net. It powers up. Crocker grabs it and heads for the
door of the van.

CROCKER
NEW WORLD ORDER! NEW WORLD...

Crocker opens the door, starts to run out and is stopped by... A group of DOE-
EYED KIDS, holding quarters, hungry for ice cream.

CROCKER (V.O.)
...order?

KID
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 16

Can I have a Coconut Swirly?

ANOTHER KID
Can I have a Chocolate Whiz Pie?

THIRD KID
I want a Strawberry Chunkcake!

CROCKER
GAH! Get away from me!

CUT TO:

EXT. TIMMY'S ROOM - SAME TIME

MOM walks towards Timmy's door, carrying a SANDWICH on a PLATE. The


doorknob continues to glow and sparkle.

MOM
Timmy? Here's some wholesome food for
a growing boy...
(grabs door knob)
...friend! I had one in college! I should
call him!

In a daze, she eats the sandwich and walks OS.

CUT BACK TO:

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM - SAME TIME

On Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda. Timmy looks at the muffin.

TIMMY
I don't know what I did to deserve
godparents as great as you guys...

WANDA
Well, Timmy, according to the rules, a
child only gets assigned godparents if
they're truly in need of help!

COSMO
And, boy, did you ever need our help!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 17

TIMMY
Why?

WANDA
Well, it all started two years ago...

RIPPLE DISSOLVE:

FLASHBACK: TWO YEARS AGO

INT. TURNER KITCHEN - DINNER TIME

A very dishevelled Mom and a clean cut, notably less-crazed Dad and a
YOUNGER TIMMY are having dinner. Timmy glares at a disgusting pile of ICKY
SPINACH heaped atop his plate.

WANDA (V.O.)
...when you were eight years old!

COSMO (V.O.)
Hey, I've seen this one! This is a classic!

Dad holds a VIDEO CAMERA inches away from Timmy's face.

DAD
That's it! That's it! Every precious
moment saved forever!

Dad puts the TAPE into a nearby VCR and hits "PLAY."

ON TV SCREEN - Timmy, just sits there, staring at his food, in the exact same
image we just saw. Dad's eyes tear up.

DAD
They grow up so fast!! He looks so much
different now than he does on tape!

A tired Mom spoons an extra large spoonful of more icky spinach onto
Timmy's plate. Mom turns to Dad.

MOM
(exhausted) Honey, I know we value our
son more than our relationship...

DAD
You bet!

MOM
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 18

But do you think we could leave the


house some night like adults and leave
Timmy with a baby-sitter?

Mom pulls out a FLIER that reads "VICKY'S BABY-SITTING SERVICE." On it, we
see a smiling VICKY, hugging a smiling CHILD. It's all smiles, smiles, smiles.
Dad grabs the flier.

DAD
Absolutely not!

Dad tosses the flier aside. He's having none of this.

DAD
I've been meticulously documenting
every precious moment of Timmy's life
on video since he was born! And I don't
intend to miss one precious second! I
refuse to share his childhood with a baby-
sitter! I barely want to share it with you!

Dad gestures to a giant PILE OF VIDEO TAPES. Dad slaps another tape in the
camera and records Timmy again. Same pose. Same deal.

MOM
But we haven't left the house in eight
years.
(defeated: to Timmy)
All right, precious gift, eat your spinach.

TIMMY
But, Mommy...I already ate so much of
your delicious squash, beans and turnips,
my tummy's full! May I save the spinach
for later?

DAD
I'm sorry, Son, but I don't have any
footage of you eating spinach!

MOM
Besides, there are millions of children
around the world who would be very
grateful for a delicious, home-cooked
dinner like this!

TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 19

You're right, Mom. And I'm perfectly


willing to share it with them!

DAD
That's a great idea! We'll travel to parts
unknown, deliver this food to those
children, and video tape them eating it!
(to Timmy)
They won't be nearly as adorable as you,
but it'll complete my collection!

MOM
(excited)
Travel?! You mean actually take a
vacation?!? Let's start packing now! I'll
get my binoculars!

DAD
(playing along)
And I'll get more tape! See you in a
decade, Timmy!!

Dad and Mom share a smile and quickly run from the table, where they hide
around a corner. Dad is still taping.

DAD
This little white lie is bound to get him to
eat his spinach!!

LITTLE TIMMY'S POV - He looks around...his parents are gone!

TIMMY
Mom? Dad? Oh no! They've left me! To
go to parts unknown! Forever!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

INT. TURNER KITCHEN - SAME TIME

ON MOM AND DAD - around the corner, laughing to themselves.

DAD
Ha! Timmy believed our first little white
lie! And I got it on all on tape!

MOM
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 20

Wouldn't you rather go see a movie?

DAD
Our Timmy is much more entertaining
than anything Hollywood could produce!

ON TIMMY - clearly upset. He believes his parents are gone.

TIMMY
I'm alone! But I'm a precious gift from
above! I can't be left alone!

Timmy, in a panic, spots the flier for Vicky's Baby-Sitting Service.

TIMMY
I better call this baby-sitter!

ON MOM AND DAD

MOM
(psyched)
Yessss!!!

DAD
What? NOOOO!!!!

Dad starts to run back to Timmy, but Mom sweeps his legs out from under
him and puts him in a W.W.F.-style sleeper hold. Timmy is so focused on the
phone, he sees none of this.

ON TIMMY - frantically dialing the phone. In the background, behind Timmy,


we can see Mom overpowering Dad.

SPLIT SCREEN - A YOUNGER VICKY -14 - ANSWERS HER PHONE.

VICKY
Vicky's Precious Gift From Above Baby-
Sitting Service!

TIMMY
Hi! I'm Timmy Turner and...

VICKY
Wouldn't eat your dinner?

TIMMY
No!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 21

VICKY
Parents gone to parts unknown?

TIMMY
Yes!

VICKY
Be right there!

Dad, Mom holding onto his leg, finally reaches Timmy.

DAD
Son! I...

TIMMY
(re: His parents)
You're back! From parts unknown!

SFX: Ding Dong! Timmy goes to the door and opens it, revealing Vicky.

VICKY
Hello Mr. And Ms...
(reads from a CARD)
...Turner! I'm Vicky! The baby-sitter!

LIGHTNING strikes. She grabs Timmy and hugs him tight.

VICKY
(to Mom and Dad)
My! My! What a precious little gift from
above you have here!

She whips out every educational TOY known to man, puzzles, games, an
abacus and flash cards.

VICKY
I can't wait to spend time protecting and
enriching your young child, so you can have
the freedom to go out into the world and be the
adults you've always wanted to be!!

MOM
For the last eight years!

DAD
But honey! I don't want to share my son's
childhood with anyone!!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 22

VICKY
I'll video tape whatever you miss, and
edit it all together, so it's all on one
convenient tape!!

Dad, filming all this, ejects the tape from his camera and tosses it to Vicky.

DAD
(instantly turns) Well, when you put it like
that, we're outta here!

MOM
I'll get our coats!

DAD
Forget it! At the speed we'll be having
fun, the friction will keep us warm!!

Mom and Dad rush out of the house and catch on fire as they leave. A SONIC
BOOM is heard. The door slams shut.

VICKY
Hmm. Sonic boom. Not bad.

Pause. Vicky and Timmy size each other up for the first time.

TIMMY
Hi, Vicky. I'm...

VICKY
GOING TO BED!!

She pulls out a FLAMETHROWER and incinerates the toys.

TIMMY
AAAAGH! My enrichment!

Vicky pulls lengths of videotapes from their plastic cartridges and ties Timmy
up in his chair!

TIMMY
AAAAGH! My childhood!

COSMO (V.O.)
And that's when your life went straight
down the toilet!!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 23

MONTAGE: VICKY DOING HORRIBLE THINGS TO TIMMY: Vicky making Timmy


do laundry, Vicky making Timmy scrub the floor, Vicky making Timmy clean
the toilet, Vicky making Timmy paint her toenails, etc.

WANDA (V.O.)
For the next year, Vicky tortured you
every day of your life! And you were so
miserable...

DISSOLVE TO:

THE MAGIC NINE BALL SCENE FROM THE VERY FIRST "OH YEAH - FAIRLY
ODDPARENTS' EPISODE.

Timmy meets Cosmo and Wanda for the first time.

COSMO
I'm Cosmo!

WANDA
And I'm Wanda!

COSMO AND WANDA


And we're... your Fairy Godparents!

RIPPLE DISSOLVE BACK


TO:

INT. - TIMMY'S ROOM - PRESENT DAY

Timmy takes this all in.

WANDA
And that's how we got assigned to be
your Fairy Godparents!

ON TIMMY - bummed, taking it all in.

TIMMY
They tricked me? With a lie?

COSMO
Yeah! And they got it on tape!

TIMMY
That's why I'm stuck with the worst, most
evil baby-sitter on the planet? A lie?
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 24

WANDA
Well, it was just a little white lie, Timmy!
Parents do it all the time!

TIMMY
Well that stinks.

MOM (O.S.)
Timmy! Time for school!!

Timmy hangs his head and starts to walk out of his room.

TIMMY
How do I know that's the truth?

Man, I wish they didn't lie to me.

Timmy - holding the muffin - exits. Cosmo and Wanda look at each other
nervously. They wave their wands and with a gigantic "TRUTH" POOF, grant
his wish.

WANDA
Uh...did we just make it so Timmy's parents
couldn't lie to him?

COSMO
Yep.

COSMO Looks at Wanda.

COSMO
You've gained weight.

WANDA
You know, we can still lie to each other.

Cosmo smiles sheepishly as we...

INT. TIMMY'S KITCHEN - MORNING - SAME TIME

MOM and DAD are at the kitchen counter, making their lunches and Timmy's
lunch for school. His LUNCH BAG sits nearby.

Timmy, still bummed - and not realizing his wish has been granted - enters. He
sets the muffin on the counter next to his lunch bag.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 25

MOM
Is something wrong, Timmy?

DAD
The typically dumbfounded look on your
face has been replaced with a look of
profound sadness! (beat)
That was oddly truthful!

TIMMY
(gathers courage to ask) Have you guys
ever lied to me?

MOM
(POOF! Truth!)
OF COURSE WE HAVE!!

Long beat.

DAD
Could you excuse us for a moment?

Mom and Dad run around a corner and whisper in hushed tones.

DAD
Honey, I thought we agreed that if Timmy
ever asked us if we ever lied to him, we'd
lie to him, and say we never lied to him!

MOM
I'm sorry. But it's like the truth just
exploded out of me.

DAD
Okay, let me handle this. I'm an
unbreakable rock of falsehood.

Mom and Dad run back over to Timmy.

DAD
Okay, Timmy. Ask me anything!

TIMMY
Okay. When do you lie to me?

DAD
(POOF! Truth!)
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 26

All the time! In fact, you'd be hard


pressed to find a time we weren't lying to
you!

Long beat.

DAD
(to Timmy)
Don't move.

Mom and Dad run around the corner again and whisper in hushed tones.
They zip back in front of Timmy.

TIMMY
Doesn't it bother you that you lie to your
only son?

DAD
(POOF! Truth!)
Heck no! It makes everything easier!
(beat)
Uh...talk to your goldfish.

Dad drags Mom back around the corner. Cosmo and Wanda POOF! Into scene
in the fishbowl.

TIMMY
Guys? When I said "I wish they didn't lie
to me", did you make it so my parents
couldn't lie to me??

WANDA
We had to, Timmy. We're your fairy
godparents. When you say, "I wish!" We
grant!

COSMO
(to Wanda)
And you've really gained weight.

Mom and Dad enter again.

MOM
Timmy, we know you're upset, but you
have to understand that sometimes
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 27

parents have very good reasons for


telling little white lies...

We hear the SCHOOL BUS HONKING O.S. HONK! HONK!

DAD
...but there's the bus and we've never
been more relieved in our lives!! And
that's the truth!

MOM
Here's your fish, here's your lunch, here's
your sparkling muffin! Bye!

Mom shoves the muffin into Timmy's lunch bag. Then they shove Timmy out
the door and look out the window.

MOM AND DAD'S POV - The SCHOOL BUS is parked out front. Timmy - holding
his lunch and Cosmo and Wanda - gets on the bus and it drives away. Mom
and Dad collapse with relief. Pause.

DAD
We better check the videotapes and see
what else we've lied to him about.

MOM
I'll make some snacks.

Mom and Dad run O.S.

CROCKER

Spinach on wheels. All the kids freak!

Aaagh! Spinach!!

The kids flee.

Maybe a nice long day of school will
make it all better!

COSMO
Yeah, school. School makes everything
fun!

What? You know we can still lie to him.

TIMMY
(sarcastic)
Oh boy. School. I can't wait to sit down in
front of an adult and get lied to all day.

WANDA
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 29

Aw, c'mon, Timmy. Not all adults are liars.

TIMMY
Mom. Dad. Crocker?

Well, just the ones you know. Maybe
you're some kind of liar magnet.

The scope flashes an infra-red MUFFIN SHAPE!

CROCKER
Aha!

He fires the fork harpoon at Timmy's bag! <BAM!> The fork - a rope attached
- flies at Timmy...

The fork hits his lunch bag, rips it in half and flies OS. The muffin falls to the

Timmy's magic muffin rolls by in the BG. Timmy runs after it. He waves hello
to AJ's monkey.

TIMMY
Hi, AJ! Hi, Bippy!

BIPPY
Eeep!

Cosmo and Wanda follow Timmy through scene.

ON THE MUFFIN - it stops at the foot of a FOOD CART GUY pushing a FOOD
CART.

FOOD CART GUY


Whoops...dropped a muffin.

He picks it up, looks around...and pulls a small piece of the muffin off with his
fingers.

hides behind them. They watch the Food Cart Guy eats the muffin piece.

TIMMY
Oh no!

ON THE FOOD CART GUY

FOOD CART GUY


Ew! That's the worst muffin I've ever
tasted! I sure wish I had some
mouthwash!

The muffin sparkles with magic. POOF! A bottle of MOUTHWASH appears in


the Food Cart Guy's hand!

FOOD CART GUY


That's convenient.

He drops Timmy's muffin onto the food cart. Gargling happily, he pushes the
cart into the school.

ON TIMMY, COSMO AND WANDA

TIMMY
Did he just magically obtain some
mouthwash?

WANDA
Remember, if you eat the muffin, you get
a rule free wish!

TIMMY
You mean the muffin grants adult's
wishes too?

COSMO
The muffin isn't picky, Timmy. Nor is it
tasty! But it is powerful!

Crocker reels in Principal Waxelplax.

WAXELPLAX
Crocker! What's the meaning of this fork
in my fanny?

CROCKER
Um...it's Cupid's fork! Of love! I love you?

WAXELPLAX
Oh, well...this is so sudden...and
unwanted.

Now, Honey, I'm sure he's over reacting.
Let's just pop in a home video, and see
how long it takes for us to catch
ourselves in a little white lie!

Timmy - with Cosmo and Wanda as PENCIL DOODLES on his notebook - sits
nervously at his desk. He looks at the clock. It reads: 11:55 am. Almost
lunchtime. Crocker stands at the blackboard.

CROCKER
Students, this is a math problem. But, in
a world where magic and fairies exist,
who cares? Math means nothing! A fairy
can make two plus two equal "fish!"

COSMO
(to Timmy)
You know, he's right.

CROCKER
Stare at the board until the lunch bell
rings.

Crocker sits at his desk. Timmy turns to Cosmo and Wanda.

TIMMY
This is driving me nuts. I shouldn't be
sitting here! I need to find that muffin!

COSMO

Well, Timmy, if you want your muffin


back, why don't you just wish for it
back?!!

TIMMY
Hey! That's a great idea, Cosmo! I wish I
had the muffin back!

WANDA
We can't do that! You know as well as I
do, that muffin's magic is more powerful
than ours!

COSMO
Well, duh! I was just wondering why he
hadn't asked!

Timmy scowls and erases Cosmo's mouth.

COSMO
Mmmf! Mmmf! Mmmf!

The lunch bell <RINGS>!! All the kids race out of the room. Timmy grabs his
notebook and bolts from his desk. He takes two steps and trips!

TIMMY
Ooof!!

He looks at his ankle. He's been chained to his desk!

TIMMY
What the heck?

Crocker steps in. He is holding a large KEY.

CROCKER
Going somewhere, Turner? Ah, let me
answer that for you...NO!

TIMMY
Why'd you chain me to my desk?!!

CROCKER
So you won't get in my way, of course! I
need to keep you here so I can find your
muffin-shaped source of magical energy

before you do! And prove, once and for


all, the existence of...FAIRY

I wish I was free!!

They wave their wands POOF! The chain is off! Timmy grabs his notebook
and runs into the hall after Crocker!

INT. HALLWAY - SAME TIME

Timmy runs towards the cafeteria.

TIMMY
I gotta get to the cafeteria and find that
magic muffin before Crocker does! But
that shouldn't be any problem! How hard
could it be to find one stinking muffin?

Timmy runs towards the double doors that lead to the cafeteria. He pushes
them open...

POW! Timmy throws the doors open and sees...

TIMMY'S POV - INT. CAFETERIA - SAME TIME

It's lunchtime. The place is packed. Timmy looks around the room and sees
the Food Cart Guy who gleefully throws his hands into the air and cheers:

magic sensing device.

Just had the craziest dream... HUH?

TIMMY'S POV: He looks around - we see his room, jungle-ized. On the wall: A
POSTER for Ape Singing Sensation, Chimp Skylark. A POSTER for the Crimson
Chimp. And a POSTER showing the Ape Overlords with the caption: 'OBEY.'

TIMMY
The Crimson Chimp? Chimp Skylark?
Obey the Ape Overlords? OH NO! My
room's been monkey-fied!

Timmy - in a LOINCLOTH - walks over to his desk and sees two regular,
ordinary GOLDFISH IN A BOWL. They ignore him.

TIMMY
Cosmo! Wanda! I...

Timmy takes a very close look at his goldfish, who swim around stupidly.
Timmy realizes...

TIMMY
Oh no! These are regular goldfishes!

One of the goldfish dies and floats to the top.

TIMMY
Goldfish. What am I gonna do?? Wait!
Bippy was the last one to have the magic
muffin! All I gotta do is find it, and I can
fix everything!

MOM (O.S.)
Timmy, the school vine is here!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 49

TIMMY
School vine?!

Timmy looks out his window. A large VINE with all of Timmy's school PALS
hanging from it - all in loin cloths - swings in. Chester and AJ wave to him.

CHESTER
Hi, Timmy!!

TIMMY
Hi...jungle versions of Chester and AJ. I
guess we're on our way to a...jungle
version of school?

AJ
You bet!
(nervously)
And I, for one, am grateful that we live in a world
wherein our ape overlords allow us to receive an
education!

AN APE SOLDIER - carrying a FUTURISTIC WEAPON - swings into scene, gives


a "thumbs up," and swings away.

Timmy hops out his window, and grabs onto the vine.

ANGLE ON FRONT DOOR - Jungle Mom and Jungle Dad exit their jungle house
and wave farewell to Timmy.

MOM
He's swinging off to the school our Ape
Overlords allow him to go to!

DAD
Watch out for the leopards!

Suddenly, four snarling LEOPARDS jump in. Mom and Dad pull out SPEARS.

MOM
We're gonna be late for work again.

DAD
Yes! But tonight we eat like kings!

Dad lunges at the leopards.

ON TIMMY - who swings away on the vine with the other kids.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 50

TIMMY
I never thought I'd say this, but going to
school might be a good thing! 'Cuz
there's only one guy I know who has the
tools I need to track down magic stuff...

SMASH CUT TO:

ECU - MR. CROCKER'S FACE

CROCKER
And that, class, is how the founding Alpha
Males signed the DeclarAPE-tion of
Independence, forming the United Apes of
America.

WIDEN TO REVEAL we are in a classroom. It's Timmy's usual classroom, just


jungle-ized.

Crocker - in a loin cloth - points to a "Declaration of Independence" type


POSTER, except all the founding fathers are monkeys. In this room, as in all
the rooms, there is a giant APE OVERLORD "OBEY" poster.

Timmy - with a loin-clothed Chester and AJ - sits in class.

AJ
(To Chester) You know, if it weren't for the
fact that what he's saying is historically
accurate, I would say that's a horrible pun!

CHESTER
I, for one, am grateful to live in a world
wherein our ape overlords allow us to
share in their hilarious sense of word
play.

Widen to reveal two APE SOLDIERS peeking in the doorway and giving a
'thumbs up.'

ON CROCKER

CROCKER
But, in a world where magic and fairies
actually exist, who cares about history?
History means nothing! If they wanted,
fairies could change the world so that
humans were the dominant species!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 51

All the kids laugh. Except Timmy.

ALL KIDS
(Laugh Walla)

AJ
Here we go with the "Apes Have Fairies"
theory again.

CROCKER
But one day, I, Mister Crocker, will travel
to the Ape's Forbidden City and capture
one of the apes' magical...FAIRY
GODPARENTS!

TIMMY
(to self)
Forbidden City?

CROCKER
And then I shall be the supreme magical
ruler of man AND APE! HA! HA! HA! HA!
And now... I'm going to do my "I will be
the ruler of ape and man" dance!

Crocker pulls out a HAT AND CANE and does a soft shoe routine.

CROCKER
I am the master of man and ape...I am
the ruler of man and ape! Everybody
sing!!

TIMMY
(to self)
Wow. In a world gone crazy, Crocker's
even crazier!

Suddenly, a squad of GORILLAS in SWAT GEAR burst into the room through
the doors and windows and grab Crocker!!

CROCKER
NO! DON'T TAKE ME! TAKE THE
CHILDREN! THEY'LL LAST LONGER!

The Gorillas communicate to each other with a series of grunts and "Ooops!"
And leap out of the classroom with Crocker. There's a long, awkward beat.

CHESTER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 52

Well, I, for one, am grateful we live in a world


where our ape overlords took our crazy
teacher to their forbidden city to be tested
instead of us!

One Ape Soldier pats Chester on the head approvingly, then glares at Timmy.

TIMMY
Uh... Me too?

The ape gives a 'thumbs up' and swings away.

SFX: The jungle bells ring. The class exits.

The CAMERA FOLLOWS TIMMY as he slinks away from the rest of the exiting
class and sneaks through the jungle-ized hallway. He ducks behind a trash
can to avoid two APE SOLDIERS who walk past him.

TIMMY
With Crocker out of the way, I can get his
magic detecting stuff, find the magic
muffin, and track down Cosmo and
Wanda!

Timmy gets to a LOCKER. A SIGN reads "CROCKER LOCKER." Timmy opens it,
jumps in, and drops OS.

INT. ACCESS TUBE - SAME TIME

Timmy shoots down an access tube and lands in...

INT. CROCKER'S SECRET HEADQUARTERS

Timmy drops in and looks around. He sees the place is a jungle-version of a


"Bat-Cave." Computers, monitors, tracking equipment, etc. All jungle-ized, of
course. PICTURES of fairies line the walls.

TIMMY
There's gotta be something in here that
can help me...

Timmy sees a jungle-fied version of the Magic Detection Device Crocker was
using back in the cafeteria.

TIMMY
Crocker's Magic Detector! I can use this
to track down Cosmo and Wanda!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 53

Timmy runs over to a table. He sees a MAP showing a layout of the Apes'
Forbidden City, with a large, RED CIRCLE drawn around it.

TIMMY
And if this map is right, Crocker must
think somebody in the Ape's Forbidden
City has magic!

Timmy takes a deep breath.

TIMMY
Looks like I'm takin' a field trip to...

Timmy reads the city's name off the map.

TIMMY
...BananaNopolis? When this is over, I'm
wishing for a world without puns.

CAMERA PUSHES INTO THE MAP and we dissolve to...

EXT. BANANANOPOLIS - DAY

A teeming, gleaming, towering glass and steel utopia. The humans may live
in the jungles, but the apes have all the technology.

All the buildings are shaped like bananas. Apes drive CARS shaped like
bananas. Banana-shaped PLANES fly overhead. Ape kids pedal around town
on banana-shaped bikes with... you guessed it... banana seats.

ANGLE ON TWO APES in business suits, at the bus stop.

APE #1
Did you read the Daily Banana?

APE #2
Yeah! Banana stocks are up!

APE #1
That's Banana-tastic!

CAMERA PANS AND SWOOPS THROUGH THE CITY stopping on various


storefronts and locations.

CAMERA PUSHES IN ON the "TEASE AND FLEAS" Beauty Salon.

INT. TEASE N' FLEAS SALON - CONTINUOUS


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 54

Several FEMALE BABOONS are having their tails curled and getting fleas
picked out of their heads by monkey ATTENDANTS.

FEMALE APE#1
...so I heard he gave her an engagement
banana!

OTHER FEMALE APES


(really?)
No!

FEMALE APE#1
And guess what? It was three whole
bunches!

OTHER FEMALE APES


(impressed)
Ooooo!

EXT. A CONSTRUCTION SITE - SAME TIME

Several monkey CONSTRUCTION WORKERS sit high up on girders. They spot


something on the street...and start acting like a bunch of apes.

MONKEYS
OOOO! OOOO! OOO! OOO!!!

ON AN ATTRACTIVE FEMALE GORILLA BUSINESS WOMAN - who walks down


the street. She looks up angrily.

GORILLA BUSINESS WOMAN


Knock it off! What are you, a bunch of
humans?

ON THE CONSTRUCTION GORILLAS, who sink in embarrassment.

CONSTRUCTION WORKER APE


Who you callin' a human?

CUT TO:

STREET CORNER

ON TIMMY - carrying Crocker's jungle-fied magic detection device. He stands


next to the construction sight. The gorilla business woman walks past him.

A MUFFIN-SHAPED BLIP is flashing on the detector screen.


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 55

TIMMY
The muffin's dead ahead!

Timmy starts across the street. Before he walks two steps, FRANCIS - actually
the jungle version of Francis - runs through scene on all fours. He is being
chased by a TRUCK - on the side of which is painted "HUMAN CATCHER."

FRANCIS
Leave me alone! I've had my shots!!

APE TRUCK DRIVER


Ook! Ook!

TIMMY
Oh no! Some kind of human catcher! And
I'm some kind of human! Gotta be
careful!

Timmy grabs a COCONUT-SHAPED GARBAGE CAN, hides under it and


cautiously sneaks across the street. CAMERA PANS DOWN THE STREET to
see...

BIPPY walking with COSMO AND WANDA, who are TOUCANS. Bippy carries
THE MAGIC MUFFIN.

BIPPY
EEEP!

WANDA
Gosh, I don't know what's more fun. The
poop throwing or the scintillating
conversation.

<SPLAT!> She's hit with brown stuff again.

BIPPY
Eeep!

COSMO
You're right! That is more fun!

WANDA
Why are we even in the Apes' Forbidden
City, anyway?

COSMO
Didn't you hear Bippy? "Eep Eep Eep?"
He said, and I quote: "I want to visit the
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 56

forbidden city, because I've always been


curious about what they do with the
humans they capture."
(beat)
Or maybe he just wanted a banana. I
could have been paraphrasing.

SUDDENLY, the HUMAN CATCHER truck pulls into scene. TWO APES get out,
carrying a captured Francis in a cage. They walk past Bippy, Cosmo and
Wanda and carry Francis into a GIANT BANANA-SHAPED RESEARCH
BUILDING.

WANDA
Hey, that's the gray kid who used to beat
up Timmy!

COSMO
In a world where apes rule, I think it's
great that they're keeping stray humans
off the street.

BIPPY
Eeep.

COSMO
Exactly. Humans. With their flushing
toilets, brushing their teeth and bathing
everyday. What? Do they think water just
falls from the sky? Like...water?

A BANANA SHAPED SWAT VEHICLE pulls into scene. The doors open, and the
gorilla soldiers leap out, leading Crocker on a POLE LEASH.

WANDA
Hey, that's Timmy's crazy teacher?

COSMO
In a world where apes rule, who's really
the teacher?

BIPPY
Eeep.

COSMO
I am NOT a suck up!

CROCKER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 57

Wait! No! Don't use me for experiments! I'm


loyal! Listen! I pledge Ape-legiance, to the
flag...

An ape pulls out a TAZER GUN and zaps Crocker in the butt.

CROCKER
AAA!

The apes lead Crocker into the building.

WANDA
Wow. Seeing Timmy's teacher, makes me
really miss Timmy.

<SPLAT!> Cosmo is hit with brown stuff.

COSMO
And getting hit with brown stuff makes
me miss him even more.

Bippy runs up to the big glass door of the building to get a closer look.

Timmy - still under the trash can - sneaks into scene. He lifts the can slightly
and talks to Cosmo and Wanda.

TIMMY
(whispering)
Psst! Cosmo! Wanda!

They turn and see Timmy. Bippy doesn't see him yet.

COSMO AND WANDA


Timmy!

TIMMY
No time to explain. There's been a
terrible mistake! Listen to me: I wish the
world was back to normal!

Long beat. They don't move a muscle.

COSMO
What do you want us to do about it? We're not
your godparents anymore.

WANDA
(flatly)
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 58

We're Bippy's. And those are the rules.

TIMMY'S POV - he sees Bippy looking into the building. Bippy holds the
muffin.

TIMMY
But if I were to eat a "rule free" magic
muffin...

Timmy sneaks up behind Bippy and reaches for the muffin.


Slowly...slowly...almost...

TIMMY
...almost...almost...

He grabs it!

TIMMY
YES!!

SLAM! A CAGE is thrown over Timmy! The muffin falls out of his hand!

PAN UP to see...AN HUMAN CATCHER APE smiling down at Timmy.

TIMMY
Nooo!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

The Human Catcher picks up Timmy's cage and carries him into the building.
Bippy picks up the muffin as he watches Timmy get dragged away.

TIMMY
Cosmo! Wanda! Bippy! Make them stop!

COSMO AND WANDA


Timmy!

Off Bippy's concerned look we...

CUT TO:

INT. TURNER'S JUNGLE HOME - LIVING ROOM

Jungle Mom wears a NEW LEOPARD FUR COAT. She admires herself in a
MIRROR.

DAD
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 59

Honey, I love what you've done with


these leopard pelts!

MOM
But I feel guilty! We didn't make
anything for Timmy out of these leopard
pelts!

DAD
Well, we don't have to tell him about the
leopard pelts, do we?

MOM
But then how do we explain the new
leopard coats, the leopard skin rugs and
the juicy leopard sandwiches in the
leopard-lined refrigerator?

DAD
The lottery!

Mom pulls out her CLIPBOARD of lies.

MOM
Alright, but I'm counting it all as five lies.

Mom jots down the lies as we...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. APE OVERLORD SCIENTIFIC FACILITY - LATER

We see SEVERAL APES IN LAB COATS milling about doing research. ANGLE
ON a line of LAB CAGES, each one containing a HUMAN in a loin cloth.
CAMERA PANS across the cages and stops on the last one, containing...Mr.
Crocker!

CROCKER
Well, this is certainly an unpleasant situation...
but on the bright side... I finally have my own
apartment away from my mother! I should have
a dinner party on Friday!

The Human Catcher enters and sets Timmy's cage down next to Crocker's.

TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 60

OOOF!

CROCKER
Turner! If the Ape Overlords haven't
dissected you by Friday, do you want to
come to my fancy dinner party? I'm serving
shrimp puffs!

Crocker pulls out a CHECKLIST and begins writing things down. Timmy takes
in his surroundings.

TIMMY
Shrimp puffs are gross!
(beat)
DISSECT ME!?! I gotta get out of here
before I'm cut up and/or forced to eat
shrimp puffs!

Timmy rails at the cage in a moment eerily reminiscent of when he first saw
Bippy. As he does, his hat falls out of the cage, to the floor. He strains to
reach it.

A LITTLE HAIRY APE HAND reaches in and picks up the hat. Timmy looks up to
see...

TIMMY
(whispered)
BIPPY! You're here to save me!

Bippy stands there smiling at Timmy. Cosmo and Wanda - as TOUCANS - float
next to Bippy.

COSMO
Actually, word on the street is there's a
big shrimp puff party in here!

WANDA
He's trapped in a cage! I wish there was
something we could do...

COSMO
(Re: Timmy) Eeep! Eeep? Eeep??

PUSH IN BIPPY'S FACE...

FLASHBACK! - Bippy remembers when Timmy gave him the Banana Nut
muffin in the cafeteria. When Timmy was kind to him.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 61

BACK IN THE LAB - Timmy's still in the cage. Bippy still has the hat and is
about to hand it to Timmy, when suddenly...

TWO LAB APES - each wearing a utility belt of dissection TOOLS - walk into
the room. Cosmo and Wanda POOF! Into INDUSTRIAL WASTE DRUMS that
Bippy hides behind.

The Lab Apes come over to Crocker's cage and begin to lift it.

CROCKER
No! No! Don't take me! I'm hosting a
party on Friday! Take him!

Crocker points to Timmy!

TIMMY
WHAT?!?!

The lab apes look at Timmy, look at each other, give a "what the heck"
shrug, let go of Crocker's cage, and pick up Timmy. Crocker turns to FRANCIS
- in the cage next to him.

CROCKER
What about you? How do you feel about
shrimp puffs?

Crocker crosses Timmy's name off of his PARTY LIST as the apes carry Timmy
away in his cage.

TIMMY
Hey, what're you doing? Stop!!
Bippy! Cosmo! Wanda! HELP!!!!

ON BIPPY - Who sees Timmy being carried away. Bippy gets angry at Timmy's
mistreatment.

BIPPY
Eeep.

WANDA
What'd he say?

COSMO
He says it's not fair that an innocent
human like Timmy gets experimented on.

ON TIMMY - he is taken into another room with a very ominous-looking door.


The door shuts. Ominously.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 62

ON BIPPY - watching Timmy being taken into the ominous room.

TIMMY (O.S.)
NOOO!!!

BIPPY
(panicked) Eeep! Eeep! Eeep!

COSMO
(To Wanda)
And, in gesture of protest to the
mistreatment of lab humans, he wishes
we could help Timmy!

WANDA
Did he really say that?

COSMO
I could be paraphrasing.

WANDA
Works for me!

Wanda, Cosmo and Bippy POOF! Away. CAMERA PANS OVER to Crocker, still
in his cage. He looks around.

CROCKER
Hmm...where Did that monkey and his
two talking drums of industrial waste go?

Crocker looks at the floor. Sitting there, where Bippy was standing...is the
Magic Muffin!

CROCKER
Ah, a muffin!

Crocker looks at the feeding CHART hanging on his cage.

CROCKER
I'm not scheduled to eat until March. I'd
better hoard this...

Crocker strains to reach the muffin.

CUT TO:

INT. EXAMINING ROOM - SAME TIME


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 63

A very scary room. Dark, dank, dreary. Pointy objects and instruments line
the walls. Timmy is strapped to an OPERATING TABLE. The two lab apes
hover over him.

Lab Ape #1 pulls up a BANANA.

Lab Ape #2 draws an "X" on Timmy's head.

TIMMY
What are you gonna do? Smush that
banana on my forehead??

Lab Ape #1 peels the banana, revealing a DRILL! He smiles and lowers the
drill towards Timmy.

TIMMY
Oh, come on!

Lab Ape #1 moves in with the drill... Suddenly, BIPPY poofs into scene and
attaches himself to Lab Ape #2's face!

BIPPY
Eeep! Eeep! Eeep!

Chaos reigns as the lab apes attempt to subdue Bippy.

LAB APES
<<GRUNTS OF CONFUSION>>

TIMMY

Cosmo and Wanda POOF IN to the left and right of Timmy as a SCALPEL and
a MAGNIFYING GLASS.

COSMO
Don't worry, Timmy! We'll get you out of
here!

TIMMY
Really?

WANDA
Well, he could be paraphrasing.

BIPPY (O.S.)
EEEP!

ON BIPPY - Subdued by Lab Ape #1. Lab Ape #2 walks over to the table,
picks up the Wanda MAGNIFYING GLASS and the Cosmo SCALPEL and leans
over a nervous Timmy.

CUT TO:

INT. APE OVERLORD SCIENTIFIC FACILITY - SECONDS LATER

ON CROCKER - He finally grabs the muffin. It sparkles and gleams.

CROCKER
YES! I hope you taste like puffed up
shrimp!

The COSMO scalpel touches Timmy's forehead.

BIPPY
Eeep! Eeep! Eeep!

COSMO
You got it, Bippy!

Cosmo raises his wand! We have a SCREEN FILLING POOF! And...

CUT TO:

ON A HILLSIDE ABOVE DIMMSDALE

Timmy POOFS! Into scene with Bippy next to him. Cosmo and Wanda - now
as themselves- also POOF in. They all look down to see Banananopolis, in all
it's shimmering, banana glory.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 65

A WAVE OF MAGIC - like the genesis effect in Star Trek II - passes over and
changes the city from ape world back to it's normal, human form!!

The wave of magic passes dramatically over Timmy and Bippy, Cosmo and
Wanda, changing them all back to normal - Timmy and Bippy in their normal
outfits - Cosmo and Wanda as human-looking, non-monkey fairies again.

TIMMY
Wait a minute. Monkey world is gone and
humans rule again? Is this what Bippy
wished for?

COSMO
Uh... it was either "Free Timmy, make
humans the dominant species on Earth
again, and remove all traces of Monkey
world from the planet..." or, something
about wanting a banana. I forget which. I
might have paraphrased.

All four of them hug.

TIMMY
I'm glad that's over with. Hey. Wait a minute.
Where's the magic muffin?

COSMO
I thought you had it.

WANDA
I thought Bippy had it.

BIPPY
Eeep!

Beat. It sinks in.

TIMMY
CROCKER!!

Off everyone's horrified expressions we...

WHIP PAN OVER TO:

A DIFFERENT PART OF THE PARK


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 66

POOF! Crocker - now back to his normal self - appears. He's a bit
disoriented...but holding THE MAGIC MUFFIN! *Note: two-thirds of the muffin
are gone.

CROCKER
Eh? What am I doing here?

He notices the muffin.

CROCKER
Wait...it can't be!

Crocker pulls out his detection device and scans the muffin.

CROCKER
A Magic Muffin! Hooray! I wonder how it
works? Well, no sense trying to solve a
mystery on an empty stomach...

Crocker takes a bite and begins to glow with magic! * Note: only a small
piece of the muffin remains.

CROCKER
GAH! What a horrible muffin!
But it's working! I feel the magic! Yes!
YES! I can wish for anything!
(realizing)
But why should I only settle for one lousy
wish, when I can have AS MANY AS I
WANT!!

Crocker gets a devilish grin. He puts the remainder of the muffin in his
pocket.

CROCKER
All I have to do is say the magic words: I
WISH I COULD CAPTURE A FAIRY
GODPARENT!!

POOF! Suddenly, he's holding his very high-tech BUTTERFLY NET! Crocker
shimmers even brighter. Magic TENDRILS, like the arms of an octopus, start
to coil away from him towards...

CUT TO:

ON TIMMY, COSMO, WANDA AND BIPPY

The glowing magical tendrils zip into frame, right at Cosmo and Wanda.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 67

WANDA
Cosmo! LOOK OUT!

Wanda pushes Cosmo, Timmy and Bippy out of the way just as the magical
tendrils wrap around her tightly.

WANDA
Agh!

ON TIMMY, COSMO and BIPPY as they tumble down a hill.

TIMMY, COSMO AND BIPPY


OOOF! OOOF! OW! EEEP! OOF!

ON WANDA - as the tendrils pull her...right into Crocker's high-tech butterfly


net!

WANDA
AAAA!!! Lemme out! Lemme out!

Wanda tries - in vain - to ZAP! The net. It doesn't work. She's stuck good.
Crocker looks at her with fascination.

CROCKER
Eureka! I did it! I'VE FINALLY CAPTURED A
FAIRY!!!

CUT TO:

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL - Timmy, Cosmo and Bippy look up and see
Crocker holding Wanda! Crocker can't see them.

TIMMY
Oh no...

WANDA
LET ME OUT OF THIS ACCURSED THING!!

Wanda tries ZAPPING the net over and over...to no avail!

CROCKER
You're not going anywhere, little fairy!
And I will use your magic, to make the
world exactly what I want it to be...
(beat)
MINE!!!! HA!HA!HA!HA!

EXT. EXTREME LONG SHOT FROM FAIRYWORLD - DAY - SAME TIME

We see the FAIRYWORLD SIGN. Suddenly, with a POOF, A 1940s-esque AIR


RAID SIREN, with a red flashing light on it, pops out of the sign and begins to
wail!

CUT TO:

INT. FAIRY ACADEMY - MILITARY LOOKING HALLWAY - SAME TIME

A pair of very muscular feet run down a hallway. We pan up to see a sopping
wet JORGEN VON STRANGLE, towel wrapped around his waist, holding a
rubber DUCKY.

JORGEN
Some emergency has interrupted my very
muscular bath! What in the name of my
triceps is going on?

Jorgen grabs A FAIRY PRIVATE holding papers in his arms.

FAIRY PRIVATE
Sir! According to these reports, a fairy on
Earth has been captured in a high-tech
butterfly net created by a crazy, fairy-
hunting fifth grade teacher!

JORGEN
Those accursed butterfly nets will be the
death of us all! We must prepare for
anything! SCRAMBLE THE FAIRIES!

CUT TO:

EXT. - THE FAIRY ACADEMY - SAME TIME

ON AN AIR RAID SIREN, wailing. We see FAIRY SOLDIERS scrambling between


barracks and air raid hangers.

ANNOUNCER (V.O.)

FAIRY ALERT! FAIRY ALERT! ALL FIGHTER


FAIRIES SCRAMBLE!

CUT TO:

INT. A FAIRY AIR HANGER - SAME TIME

Several FAIRIES are on launch RAMPS, arms forward like superman, ready to
fly. One fairy waves some lit magic wands like a RUNWAY CONTROLLER
waving those pointy flashlights. All the fighter fairies take off like W.W. II
Bombers.

INT. FAIRY BARRACKS - SAME TIME

CLOSE ON A RACK OF GLOWING MAGIC WANDS - several fairy hands reach in


and grab the wands in that classic "Marines Getting Ready for Combat" shot.
WIDEN TO REVEAL they are running out the door. Wands in hand.

FAIRY SERGEANT
GO GO GO GO GO!!!

It's the Pentagon, shaped like a magic wand.

CUT TO:

EXT. BRIDGE FROM FAIRYWORLD - SAME TIME

Jorgen, stands at the head of the bridge that connects Fairyworld to Earth.
Dozens of flying fairies circle the skies like W.W. II bombers. The Fairy Private
turns to Jorgen.

FAIRY PRIVATE
Uh, Sir? Now that we've scrambled the
fairies what do we do?

JORGEN
We cannot risk another fairy being fairy-
napped by one of those despicable
butterfly nets.

Jorgen raises his mighty wand and strikes the rainbow bridge! The energy
from his wand courses through the bridge, shattering it into a million
fragments!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 70

JORGEN
I have blown up the bridge between
Fairyworld and the Earth!

FAIRY PRIVATE
Uh, Sir? We could have blown the bridge
without scrambling the fairies.

JORGEN
I LIKE TO SCRAMBLE THE FAIRIES! Now
the humans will never be able to reach
us with their butterfly nets of death!

FAIRY PRIVATE
But, Sir? We usually just POOF to Earth.
We didn't have to destroy the bridge.

JORGEN
I LIKE TO DESTROY THE BRIDGE!!!
Besides, it's a metaphor. As long as that
crazy fairy-hunting fifth-grade teacher
has a fairy...NO MORE FAIRIES WILL BE
ALLOWED ON EARTH!
(very calmly)
...and thus I return to my bath.

Jorgen - holding his duckie - walks OS.

CUT BACK TO:

EXT. THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL - SAME TIME

A panicked Cosmo, Timmy and Bippy watch as Crocker leaves with Wanda,
still in the butterfly net.

CROCKER
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

COSMO
WANDA! WANDA!! Come back!!

TIMMY
Cosmo, stop! He'll capture you too!

COSMO
But I love her!! We've gotta save her,
Timmy! We've gotta!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 71

BIPPY
Eeep!

COSMO
Pipe down! This is all your fault!

TIMMY
I love her too, Cosmo! And I won't let
anything happen to her! Use your magic
to get her back!

Cosmo raises his wand. He tries. Nothing.

COSMO
Oh no! My magic can't reach her!
Crocker must still have her in one of
those accursed butterfly nets!
(freaks out)
Timmy, I'm useless without Wanda! I
can't even clean my ears without Wanda!

POOF! Cosmo POOFS up a big Q-TIP and instantly sticks it in his nose.

COSMO
See? My ear's not clean!!!

TIMMY
Okay, then... Plan B! Turn into a
bloodhound so we can track them!

POOF! Cosmo poofs into a BLOODHOUND...with FIVE LEGS.

COSMO
Oh no...I have five legs!!

TIMMY
Then you're 20% faster than a regular
blood hound! COME ON! The muffin did
this, the muffin can undo it! We gotta
get to Crocker!

Bippy hops on Cosmo's back. And, with Cosmo's nose leading the way, they
run up the hill after Crocker.

COSMO
(Barks) AWOOOO!!!! AWOOOO!!!!!

CUT TO:
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 72

ON CROCKER AND WANDA - SAME TIME

Crocker, still holding the butterfly net with Wanda trapped inside, runs
through a field. Crocker examines Wanda.

CROCKER
So, magic little fairy, by what mystical
name do you call yourself?

WANDA
Name: Wanda! Rank: Fairy! Cereal
Number: Six.

CROCKER
Stubborn, eh?

WANDA
You'll never get anything out of me!
Never!

We HEAR Cosmo BARKING in the BG.

CROCKER
Bloodhounds! Someone's following me!
Good thing for me all my years of
aimlessly searching for fairies has
prepared me for any eventuality!

Crocker pulls out a REMOTE CONTROL. Several TRAP DOORS in the field open
and DOZENS OF FAIRY SHAPED BALLOONS rise into the air!

ON TIMMY, COSMO and BIPPY as they lose track of Crocker and Wanda in the
balloon confusion. Timmy looks at fairy balloon after fairy balloon.

TIMMY
Not Wanda! Not Wanda! Not Wanda!

ON COSMO - who POOFS! Into his normal self, floating in the air, and grabs a
FAIRY BALLOON that is clearly not Wanda.

COSMO
Wanda! I Found you!

The balloon pops. Cosmo holds the deflated balloon in his hand.

COSMO
AAA! I popped you! I'm so sorry!!!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 73

TIMMY
Cosmo. COSMO! LOOK AT ME! FOCUS!

Timmy puts his hand on Cosmo's shoulders.

TIMMY
This is all my fault. I'm the one who lost
the muffin. But we'll save Wanda. I
promise!

COSMO
Don't you understand what this means? I
have to start dating again! I'm terrible at
small talk! Go on, ask me about the
weather!

TIMMY
How's the weather?

COSMO
JEFF! See? That makes no sense! My
small talk stinks!

Cosmo starts sucking his thumb. Timmy turns to Bippy.

TIMMY
Cosmo's gone bye-bye, Bippy. It's up to
you and me!

A fairy balloon, holding a banana, floats by. Bippy runs after it.

TIMMY
Okay, it's up to me...and if I was Crocker,
and I had finally captured a fairy, what's
the first thing I'd do?
(beat)
Rub it in the face of my students.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TIMMY'S CLASSROOM - THE NEXT MORNING

EXTREME CLOSE UP ON CROCKER'S FACE

CROCKER
Children, I have big news!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 74

PULL OUT TO REVEAL Crocker, dressed in a SHIMMERING SUIT OF WORLD


DOMINATING, GALACTUS-TYPE, GOLDEN ARMOR. The remaining portion of
the MAGIC MUFFIN is hanging from a chain around Crocker's neck, like a
pendant.

The kids - including Timmy - stare at Crocker, dumbfounded. Cosmo is a


PENCIL on Timmy's desk.

Timmy looks closely at the muffin around Crocker's neck.

CROCKER
I'M QUITTING TEACHING TO BE THE
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE! HA! HA! HA!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

CROCKER
YOU HEARD ME! I'M QUITTING TEACHING
TO BE THE RULER OF THE UNIVERSE! HA!
HA! HA!

KIDS
<<CHEER WITH GLEE>>

CROCKER
Yes, well. I'd planned on sparing you all
for slave labor. However, I will be adding
each and every one of your names to my
"no longer among the living" list!

Crocker pulls out a GIGANTIC NOTEBOOK stuffed with names.

AJ
Mister Crocker? Wouldn't it be more
convenient and easier to carry, if you just
compiled a "Life List?"

CROCKER
Excellent idea!

He throws the book aside and pulls out a 3x5 CARD.

CROCKER
Life list: Me. My fairy.

Crocker places the card in one of his pockets.


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 75

CROCKER
And speaking of which...

Crocker reveals A DEVICE which looks like a giant scepter with a clear plastic
container at the end. Wanda's inside!

CROCKER
My fairy! Say goodbye to your free will,
children!

He powers up the scepter. It sucks energy from Wanda.

WANDA
OW!!!

TIMMY
(to self)
Wanda...

Suddenly, a huge wave of magic light disintegrates the wall! When the
smoke clears, several kids have been transformed into ICE SCULPTURES.

CROCKER
HA! HA! HAHAHAH!!! Now, bow down
before my power!!! Because finally! The
fairies' magic is mine! All mine!!!

TIMMY
Oh no!

Crocker - his scepter glowing with power - walks up to the ice sculptures.

CROCKER
Hmm. Ice sculptures. Weird. I was going
for "corpse."

SANJAY
(Raising hand) Mister Crocker? May I go
to the bathroom?

BAM! Crocker turns Sanjay into a TOILET.

CROCKER
Anybody else have any clever comments?

CHESTER
Mister Crocker? May I go to the Sanjay?
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 76

POOF! Chester turns into a URINAL.

AJ
I'm guessing that's a no.

CROCKER
Hey, kids, guess what I'm going turn
Turner into?

KID #1
A fruit pie?

KID #2
Toilet paper?

CROCKER
All excellent suggestions!

TIMMY
I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!

Timmy tucks Cosmo behind his ear runs like the wind out of the classroom.

CROCKER
Oh, no you don't! You need a hall pass
for that!

Crocker fires his wand - and a stream of ENERGY blasts out the door,
following Timmy like a LIGHT CYCLE from "Tron." Timmy runs through the hall
as the beam of energy bears down on him. He has no chance.

TIMMY
AAAAA! I'm doomed!
(loudly, to Cosmo)
I wish I had a magical shield!

COSMO
I... I... I'll try!

POOF! Cosmo POOFS in front of Timmy as a MAGICAL COSMO SHIELD.

COSMO
Woo! I did it! I'm on the rebound!

Crocker's energy ball hits Cosmo... and ricochets off, hitting random KIDS in
the hallway, transforming them into BIG BOWLING PINS and WARTHOGS.

BOWLING PIN
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 77

Well, this stinks.

WARTHOG
I know, I had a hall pass!

TIMMY
It worked! Magic can't affect other
magical items!
(realizing)
...and I've got a whole bunch of magical
items back at my house! From my Fairy-
Versary party!

Zap Crocker fires another energy ball at Timmy. Timmy deflects it. The
magic sparkles turn into BATS and fly away.

TIMMY
I gotta get to that magic arsenal!
Cosmo, I wish I was at my house!

POOF! COSMO poofs into the shape of a GIGANTIC MOUSE. Timmy is on his
back.

TIMMY
On a mouse. Close enough. Heeya!!

COSMO
Squeak!!!

Timmy, riding the big Cosmo mouse, runs towards the front door of the
school. Crocker POOFS! Himself into scene and yells after Timmy...

CROCKER
HA! Run! But there's nowhere in the
world you can run to...when it's MY
WORLD!!!

Crocker stamps the scepter down. Rings of magical energy spread from the
scepter outwards from Crocker.

CUT TO:

EXT. TIMMY'S SCHOOL - CONTINUOUS

Timmy, riding the Cosmo Mouse, runs out the front door of the school. As
soon as he does, the school POOFS into a SHIMMERING GOLDEN PALACE with
Crocker's likeness featured prominently.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 78

EXT. STREET - SAME TIME

QUICK CUTS

Timmy rides Cosmo through Dimmsdale. Crocker's magical wave follows,


transforming everything into Crocker's world: Golden, shimmering stuff with
Crocker's face on everything. His face is on POSTERS, STATUES, BUILDINGS,
FLAGS, BLIMPS: Think BLADE RUNNER meets 1984, with a gigantic seasoning
of Mister Crocker.

ON TWO BUSINESS MEN

BUSINESS MAN
Hey, Bob, beautiful day, huh?

OTHER BUSINESS MAN


Yeah! How about that weather!

ZAP! The wave of magic changes their clothing into LOGAN'S RUN-TYPE
jumpsuits with Crocker's face on them.

BUSINESS MAN
Beautiful day to worship Crocker, huh,
Bob?

OTHER BUSINESS MAN


Yeah! How about that Crocker?!

CUT TO:

EXT. TIMMY'S STREET- CONTINUOUS

Timmy runs down his street, towards his house as the wave of magic
transforms the skyline behind him. 800 story buildings in the shape of
Crocker's name, as well as gigantic statues of Crocker, tower over the city!

TIMMY
Go, Cosmo, go! That magical wave is
catching up with us!

Timmy kicks his heels into Cosmo's side.

COSMO
SQUEAK!

TIMMY
Sorry! Got carried away!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 79

They continue to flee. The magical wave right behind them....

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Mom and Dad sit in their now NORMAL living room, holding YELLOW LEGAL
PADS. They're basically the same as they were at the beginning of the story,
although, to them, the day has passed.

We see various CRUSHED CANS OF SODA, EMPTY BOWLS of chips, and video
tapes strewn everywhere. Mom and Dad read from their legal pads.

MOM
Well, including the time I told Timmy that
his pet gerbil didn't run away and
actually went on an "all expenses paid,
Caribbean vacation" and never came
back, we're up to 412 lies.

DAD
Make it 413. I told him that he could grow
up and be president. And he believed
me! Sweet!
(sad beat)
Why isn't it sweet?

MOM
Maybe because we shouldn't fudge the
truth just because we're afraid we'll hurt
his feelings. Timmy trusts us!

DAD
Hmm. Truth. Crazy but it just might
work...

SLAM! Timmy, riding the GIANT COSMO MOUSE blasts through the front door
and runs upstairs.

MOM
Timmy! There's something we have to be
honest about...

Timmy runs up his stairs just as the magic wave sweeps over his parents.
The living room transforms into a CROCKER-IZED version of their house -
Crocker's PHOTOS and STATUES are everywhere. Mom and Dad are in the
Logan's Run-type clothing.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 80

DAD
...yeah! About why you should be
worshipping Mister Crocker!

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Timmy and Cosmo burst into his room...

TIMMY
I SURE HOPE THIS WORKS!!!

Timmy and Cosmo dive under his bed just as...WHA-FWAM!!! The wave of
magic ripples over his bedroom!!! And as the screen fills with Crocker's
glowing magical light, we:

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. CROCKERVILLE - DAY

A glowing, shimmering city. Crocker on everything.

CAMERA PANS OVER TO...

EXT. SLAVESDALE - SAME TIME

We see a sign that says "Welcome to SLAVESDALE. Population: Depends on


Crocker's Mood." We see row after row of THATCHED HUTS making the place
look like Timmy's street - except it's a filth-ridden, medieval, dilapidated
suburb of huts.

CHET UBOWDOWN (V.O.)


Good morning, Slavesdale!

We PUSH IN ON Timmy's hut and....

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. TIMMY'S ROOM IN SLAVESDALE - CONTINUOUS

Timmy's room is a mud-floored, thatch-covered, dirt hole. A small, worn out


transistor RADIO sits on a LOG by his bed.

CHET UBOWDOWN (V.O.)


Today's weather - partly cloudy with a
100 percent chance of you bowing down
to Crocker!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 81

ON TIMMY'S BAMBOO AND PALM FROND BED - The magic sack, given to
Timmy in Act I by Santa, rolls out from under the bed. Glowing with magic
and colorful, it looks very out of place in this drab world.

CHET UBOWDOWN (V.O.)


This is Chet UBowdown, reminding you...
to bow down!

Timmy, untouched by the magic blast, comes out of the bag. Cosmo poofs
into frame in fairy form.

TIMMY
Cool! Santa's magical bag protected us from
Crocker's world changing magic!

Mom and Dad, dressed in their Logan's Run-type outfits, kick the door in.
Cosmo freaks and jumps under the bed with Timmy's bag. They looks at
Timmy's clothes and GASP!

DAD
Hey, what's with those clothes that
express some sort of individuality?

MOM
Now we have to turn you over to Crocker!

TIMMY
I'm your son! You can't turn me over to
Crocker! He's insane!

DAD
Well, you are our only son...I suppose we
could forgive you this one ti...

Dad walks towards Timmy's door and places his hand on the doorknob...
which is still the FORGET ME KNOB -- the glowing, memory-erasing doorknob
from Act I.

DAD
...imes two equals two! Why would I be
thinking about multiplication at a time like
this?

MOM
I don't know, but I do think that...

Mom grabs the knob as well...


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 82

MOM
...kittens are adorable! Let's go find
some!

Dazed, they exit. The door shuts.

TIMMY
The "Forget-Me-Knob!" It still works!
Everything magic still works!

Timmy pauses. He takes in his filthy surroundings and the mess he's made of
the world. Cosmo - back to normal - POOFS! In next to Timmy.

TIMMY
Great. My parents finally decide to be
more truthful just in time for Crocker to
take over the world.

COSMO
Universe.

TIMMY
Whatever. In a world...

COSMO
Universe.

TIMMY
Whatever! In a world where Crocker
controls magic, truth means nothing!
Crocker can make two plus two equal
"fish!" And it's all my fault! I've gotta save
Wanda. Save the world. And get
everything back to normal.

COSMO
Yeah, but in a world where Crocker
controls the magic, and I'm dumber than
usual, how are you supposed to beat
him?

TIMMY
With the muffin.

TIMMY "SUITS UP" - He puts on the magic jet pack, magic boots, the April
Fool's Groucho glasses - which start to slip and he pushes them back up on
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 83

his face. Timmy makes a magic cape out of Santa's un-fill-able magic bag
and puts the rest of the stuff in a pocket in the cape.

TIMMY
Let's go change the world.

COSMO
AGAIN!?

DISSOLVE TO:

EXT. - CROCKER'S GOLDEN PALACE - LATER

Basically, it's a giant STATUE OF CROCKER that reaches into the clouds.
CAMERA PUSHES IN and we...

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. - CROCKER'S THRONE ROOM - SAME TIME

Crocker - still dressed in the golden suit of armor with the muffin hanging
around his neck like a medallion - holds Wanda in the scepter.

CROCKER
So, little fairy, do you like the way I've
changed everything into Planet Crocker?

WANDA
It's horrible! And every time you make
me use my magic, it hurts! When are
you going to let me go?

CROCKER
What's today?

WANDA
Tuesday.

Crocker counts on his fingers.

CROCKER
...Wednesday...Thursday...NEVER! HA!
HA HA! HA!

SFX: His alarm watch goes off.

CROCKER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 84

Fancy that! It's time for the hourly


bowing down ceremony!

Crocker POOFS OS with Wanda in the scepter.

CUT TO:

EXT. A BALCONY LOOKING DOWN ON CROCKERVILLE - SAME TIME

POOF! Crocker appears on the glorious balcony.

CROCKER'S POV - We see scores of PEOPLE on the ground -- all wearing their
Logan's Run type outfits - preparing to kneel and bow before Crocker.

CROWD
(walla)

ANGLE ON - AN ANNOUNCER'S BOOTH. Chet UBowdown - in a Logan's Run


outfit - is addressing the crowd.

CHET UBOWDOWN (V.O.)


Good evening, everybody! I'm Chet
UBowdown and it's time to bow down
before our Lord and Master...Mister
Crocker!

CROWD
YAAAYYYY!

CUT TO:

EXT. LAWN AT THE BASE OF CROCKER'S GOLDEN PALACE.

Mom, Dad and various other ADULTS, wait to bow down.

CHET UBOWDOWN
Let's get ready...to BOW DOWN!

The camera follows as the people, Mom, Dad, AJ, Waxelplax, Vicky, Tootie,
various kids from class, and various other characters we've seen before, drop
to their knees and bow forward, hitting their heads on the cement.

CROWD
Ow!!

CUT TO:

EXT. CROCKER'S BALCONY - CONTINUOUS


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 85

Crocker - in his element - watches the town folk bowing.

CROCKER
Look at them bow! To me! Their ruler!
Hmmm...I always thought this would feel
different...

WANDA
You mean it's just a hollow victory and
you feel empty inside?

CROCKER
What are you nuts? I feel great!
But you know what this party needs?
Shrimp puffs!

WANDA
How many times do I have to tell you? A
party can still be a party without shrimp
puffs!

CROCKER
Just do it! It's brine time!

Crocker fires a blast of magical energy towards the crowd. Wanda winces in
pain as SPARKS surround her body.

WANDA
AAAAA!!!

CUT TO:

ON THE GROUND - SAME TIME

POOF! Several crowd members are now BOWLS OF SHRIMP PUFFS.

CROWD
Aagh! Shrimp Puffs!

CAMERA PANS to a COSTUMED/CLOAKED FIGURE. He's NOT bowing down.

WANDA (O.S.)
AAA!!!

CLOAKED FIGURE
He's hurting Wanda! I've got to get his
attention...
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 86

The cloaked figure pulls back his hood...it's Timmy! He wears the April Fool's
GROUCHO GLASSES as a disguise, which start to slip. He pushes them back
on.

TIMMY
(shouting to Crocker)
I DON'T CARE IF YOU HAVE ALL THE
POWER IN THE WORLD!

Cosmo POOFS! In...

COSMO
Universe.

TIMMY
YOU'RE STILL A SECOND RATE, FIFTH
GRADE TEACHER...AND I'LL NEVER BOW
DOWN TO YOU!!

Long beat. Timmy thinks.

TIMMY
...AND SHRIMP PUFFS REEK!

ON CROCKER - staring in disbelief.

CROCKER
Hmm...what would an angry dictator say
right now?

WANDA
"I'm gonna let the fairy go?"

CROCKER
No! He'd say...silence!!

Crocker fires a gigantic blast at Timmy!

WANDA
Aaaagh!!!

CUT TO:

ON TIMMY

The ball of energy flies at him. He throws the cape behind him and we see
he's armed to the teeth with the magical weaponry!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 87

Timmy holds up his cape as a shield. Cosmo ducks behind it. Crocker's magic
deflects off it, turning people around Timmy into LAWN GNOMES and SHRIMP
PUFFS.

WANDA (O.S.)
AAAAAA!

Cosmo and Timmy run, avoiding magical blasts from above. We hear Wanda
SCREAM AGAIN.

COSMO
He's hurting Wanda!

TIMMY
We gotta do something!

COSMO
What do you want me to do? I mean, look
at me! I'm a wimp! These aren't muscles,
these are bones with sleeves! I CAN'T
DO IT!!!

POOF! Cosmo disappears.

TIMMY
Cosmo? COSMO COME BACK!

WANDA (O.S.)
AAAAGHGHHH!!!

TIMMY
Okay. Cosmo's too freaked out to do
anything. I guess it's up to me.

Timmy hits a button on his belt and two gigantic jet pack WINGS pop
out...and JORGEN'S MAGIC ROCKET PACK roars to life! Timmy blasts off after
Crocker!

CUT TO:

EXT. CROCKER'S BALCONY - SAME TIME

Crocker raises a pair of binoculars to his eyes. Through his POV we see:
Timmy, in the Groucho glasses and jet pack, heading right for him.
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 88

CROCKER
Ah! That child with the funny nose and
eyebrows is attempting an attack! This
is going to be like taking candy from a
baby...and wiping him from the face of
existence! Wheeee!!!!

Crocker raises his wand. He's going to kill Timmy! He fires a blast of energy
at him!!

WANDA
AAAAAA!!!!!!!

ON TIMMY - flying toward Crocker. The energy ball comes closer, closer... it's
huge, all engulfing and Timmy will never be able to get out of the way in
time.

TIMMY
AAAA!!!!

Suddenly, a very buff and hunky COSMO zips into frame, knocking Timmy out
of the way! The blast goes right by him and blasts a giant CRATER in the
ground!!!

ON CROCKER

CROCKER
Wait...that hole in the ground. It's missing
something...

Crocker ZAPS his NAME in the ground next to the hole... like a signature.

CROCKER
There! It's the little touches that make a
dictator memorable!

ON TIMMY AND COSMO

TIMMY
Cosmo? You saved me!! And you look
positively hunky! Where were you??

Widen to reveal Cosmo now looks like a buff fairy version of Mel Gibson in
"Braveheart." He poses like a body builder.

COSMO
I poofed home and watched my favorite
workout video: "Five Second Massive

Cosmo - like a rocket - blasts off to kick Crocker's ass!

TIMMY
Cosmo! Wait for me!!!

Timmy soars after him as we...

CUT TO:

EXT. CROCKER'S BALCONY - CONTINUOUS

Crocker raises a pair of BINOCULARS to his eyes. Through his POV, we see
he's scanning for Timmy...and not finding him.

CROCKER
HA! Nowhere to be seen! I must have
successfully wiped him from the face of
existence!

Suddenly, Cosmo's buff, angry and hunky face fills the binocular lens.

COSMO
Hi! Do you know me? No? That's why I
carry...THIS!

POW! Cosmo's buff fist fills the binoculars, knocking Crocker across his
balcony.

CROCKER
AAAGGGHHH!!!

COSMO
Hi, Mr. Crazy Face! Meet Mr. Fist!

ON CROCKER - slamming against a wall, holding the Wanda scepter.

CROCKER
GET AWAY FROM MY FAIRY!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 90

Crocker fires another blast! Cosmo avoids it by doing a series of amazing


ninja flips towards Crocker!

WANDA
Cosmo! Nice massive pecs!!

Cosmo stops and does a series of bodybuilder poses for Wanda.

COSMO
You like 'em? Maybe I'll...

BZZZAP!!! Cosmo suddenly gets ensnared in magical CHAINS!

COSMO
Hey! Get me out of here!

CROCKER
Very well!

Crocker waves his scepter. POOF! Cosmo disappears... Then reappears...in


Crocker's scepter! Now he and Wanda are both trapped! (Cosmo is also back
to his normal self.)

COSMO
Hey, I didn't mean get me in here!

CROCKER
Well, you should have been a little more
specific! Now I have two times the fairy
fun! And nobody can stop me!!!

Cosmo and Wanda cringe.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Crocker holds his magic scepter, which now contains BOTH Cosmo and
Wanda!!

TIMMY (V.O.)
STOP!

balcony. Crocker does not recognize him.

TIMMY
LET THOSE FAIRIES GO!

Hey! Who are you?

TIMMY
I'm uh...
(re: Groucho glasses)
One of America's most beloved comedy
entertainers?

CROCKER
Fine...Shemp. If it's a magic fight you
want... it's a magic fight you'll get!!

Crocker holds up the now doubly-powered scepter. He shoots a magical bolt


at Timmy. FWAZAP!!! Timmy ducks, but a MAGIC VORTEX opens up behind
him!

CROCKER
I'll show you what magic... along with the
proper planning and psychosis...can
really do!! BWAH! HA! HA! HA!

Crocker blasts Timmy, knocking him back into the magic portal. He then
jumps in after him, carrying Cosmo and Wanda in the magic scepter.

FIGHT MONTAGE -

EXT. OUTER SPACE - SAME TIME

Timmy and Crocker both appear near SATURN. Crocker's helmet lowers a
GLASS SHIELD over his face, making it a space helmet. Timmy's jet pack also
releases a breathing HELMET for him.

Crocker's sprouts BOOT JETS and blasts after Timmy! Timmy fires up his jet
pack and flies away!

Timmy dives into the asteroid-laden rings of Saturn, diving in and out of the
rocks. Crocker is hot on his heels, blasting the asteroids around Timmy!!

Timmy swoops around a large asteroid and...is gone! Crocker flies in. He
doesn't see Timmy anywhere.

CROCKER
He's gone.
(to Wanda and Cosmo)
I wish he was here!

WANDA
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 92

No can do, Crock-Pot. He's surrounded by


magical items that your magic can't
effect!

CROCKER
You mean I travelled all the way to Saturn
and I don't get to vaporize a little boy?!?
What's the point??!! I want him here! I
wish he was right here!

TIMMY (O.S.)
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!!!

Timmy flies in from above and SLAMS into Crocker at full speed! The impact
causes a huge MAGICAL EXPLOSION which sends them hurtling into another
vortex!

INT. VORTEX -SAME TIME

Timmy and Crocker tumble down a MAGICAL TUNNEL. Timmy gets close
enough to reach for the magic muffin around Crocker's neck.

TIMMY
Gotta get the muffin!

CROCKER
No you don't!

Crocker waves his scepter. It glows with magic.

COSMO AND WANDA


AAAGH!!!!

POOF! Timmy and Crocker vanish!

EXT. ANCIENT EGYPT - DAY

It's hot. It's sandy. It's 1000 B.C. The PYRAMIDS and the SPHYNX are currently
under construction. The Sphinx is sitting up on it's hind legs like a dog
begging for a treat.

BLAM!! Timmy and Crocker appear and fly into scene at 100 miles an hour
and crash into the sand! They slide in opposite directions like stones skipping
on the surface of a pond.

ON CROCKER - he slides through a HERD OF CAMELS knocking them aside


like bowling pins! Crocker gets to his feet next to a pyramid.

ON TIMMY - he slides to a stop next to THE SPHINX. But in this time period,
it's brand-spankin' new.

TIMMY
Ooof!

ON CROCKER - his scepter glows with power!

CROCKER
My magic might not be able to effect
you, but it can effect everything around
you!!

Crocker fires a magic bolt at the Sphinx! BWAM! It comes to life and stands to
its feet! It towers over Timmy!

TIMMY
Nice...kitty? Aaagh!

SPHINX
Rrraaagh!

Timmy runs. The Sphinx lumbers after him. As Timmy flees for his life, he
reaches into his pocket and pulls out SEVERAL OF THE EASTER BUNNY'S
EXPLODING EGGS!

TIMMY
Heel!

Timmy stops and throws the eggs at the Sphinx! Two eggs explode in front of
it, leaving a large HOLE that it falls into!! the third egg hits it in the face,
blowing off it's nose!!

SPHINX
(like a wounded dog)
Yipe!

The Sphinx changes back into non-living stone - nose-less - and lands in the
legendary pose that we all know and love.

ON CROCKER - the Sphinx's giant nose lands on Crocker! BAM!!

CROCKER
Aaagh!!

ON TIMMY - frantically searching his pockets for more magical items.


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 94

TIMMY
(frantic)
What do I have in here...what do I have in
here???

Timmy pulls out JUANDISSIMO'S MAGIC MIRROR.

TIMMY
Oh great. Juandissimo's magic mirror.
This won't do me any good!

Timmy looks to see: Crocker freeing himself from under the giant nose.
Crocker fires a series of magical blasts at Timmy!

ON TIMMY - turning away from the blasts and holding the mirror up
defensively. The energy bounces off the mirror, and doesn't hurt Timmy.

TIMMY
Cool! The mirror deflected the magic
blasts!

Timmy looks in the mirror and sees Crocker coming after him! Crocker's
reflection is very tiny.

TIMMY
Hmm...I wonder what else this thing
does?

Timmy reaches into the mirror...and pulls out Crocker's reflection!! Only it's
not just a reflection...it's the real Crocker! Miniaturized! Timmy now holds a
six-inch Crocker in his hand like a doll.

TIMMY
Doesn't matter how much magic you
have...you'll always be a small little man!

Timmy swats Tiny Crocker's head around a few times like a little punching
bag!

CROCKER
Ouch! Oooch! Ouch!!

Timmy stops hitting Crocker.

TIMMY
Had enough..."tiny"?

CROCKER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 95

I'll show you who's tiny!!!

Crocker manages to free his arms and BLASTS Timmy with another magic
bolt!! FWASH!! They both disappear!!

INT. SUBATOMIC SPACE - SAME TIME

We see a vast white void filled with giant ATOMS, NUCLEI, PROTONS AND
ELECTRONS.

POOF! Timmy and Crocker appear!! They're now both the same size -
microscopic - and floating in the void. Crocker fires several bolts at Timmy
and Timmy flies away.

Timmy swerves in and out of the atoms, avoiding the blasts.

TIMMY
I gotta get Crocker back on the
defensive! Well, if there's one thing I
remember from science class, it's what
happens when...

Timmy pulls out CUPID'S MAGIC BOW AND ARROWS. He knocks an arrow into
the string and pulls it back.

TIMMY
...you split an Atom!!

TWARNG! He fires the arrow towards Crocker! It whizzes right past him!!

CROCKER
Ha! You missed!

TIMMY
Wasn't aiming for ya!

Timmy wraps himself in Santa's magic cape like a cocoon. The magic arrow
cleaves one of the giant atoms cleanly in half!!

CROCKER
Oh, poop.

EXT. NEVADA DESERT - 1944 -SAME TIME

KA-FWAM!! AN enormous ATOMIC EXPLOSION erupts in the desert sky!! The


classic MUSHROOM CLOUD rises into the air!!

INT. MILITARY BUNKER - SAME TIME


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 96

Several 1944 SOLDIERS AND GENERALS - along with ALBERT EINSTEIN -


watch the explosion through a slit in the bunker.

EINSTEIN
(German accent)
Ach din glubenstein. I didn't think it
would work.

A SOLDIER walks in holding a NUCLEAR BOMB.

SOLDIER
Uh...Sir...the bomb's right here.

Long beat.

EINSTEIN
Well, what do you know?

EXT. DESERT - GROUND ZERO - SAME TIME

This is the spot where the A-bomb went off. Charred desert and smouldering
ashes are everywhere. Even the sand has been turned to glass! CAMERA
PANS OVER to see Crocker - surrounded by a glowing force field - hovering
over the desert floor.

CROCKER
Ah! Seems his "splitting the atom" plan
has backfired! There's no possible way he
could have survived an atomic explosion!

ANGLE ON DESERT FLOOR - CHARRED GLASS covers the surface. We hear a


low rumble...then Timmy - still wrapped in Santa's magic cape - bursts forth
from the sand!

TIMMY
Guess again, Crock-Pot! I'm just as
powerful as you are, even though you're
controlling two magic fairy godparents!

Timmy's Groucho glasses slip off of his face!

CROCKER
Turner!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 97

TIMMY
Uh oh. I knew I should have gotten those
things fitted.

CROCKER
I should have known! Perhaps these fairy
godparents aren't powerful enough to
stop you, but I know which parents
are...YOUR MOM AND DAD!

TIMMY
Nooo!!

Timmy pulls out the Tooth Fairy's floss and quickly throws it around Crocker's
ankle just as Crocker vanishes! FWAM! They both vanish!

CUT TO:

EXT. TURNER HOUSE / SLAVESDALE - PRESENT DAY

POOF! Timmy pops into scene, still holding the Tooth Fairy's floss in his hand.

TIMMY
Mom? Dad?

MOM AND DAD (O.S.)


<<SHRIEK>>

TIMMY
NO!!!

Timmy follows the floss into the house and bursts in to see...

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S SLAVESDALE LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Crocker stands triumphantly in Timmy's living room - he has Mom and Dad
(still in their Logan's Run, Crocker worshipping outfits) captive. They are
floating in the air, glowing in a white energy FORCE FIELD.

TIMMY
Mom! Dad!
(angry to Crocker)
Leave them alone!

CROCKER
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 98

You're done giving me orders, Turner!


Now surrender or I turn your parents into
ice sculptures and transport them to the
sun!

On Timmy... He knows he's lost.

TIMMY
I... I...
(beat)
I surrender.

Timmy takes off his magical arsenal and drops it in a pile.

WANDA
Timmy, no!

COSMO
Nobody likes a quitter!

CROCKER
Excellent! I win! I like it when I win! But
you know what I like better?

Crocker waves his wand and blasts Timmy. He's now bound in chains, in
shoddy clothing and totally cowed before Crocker.

CROCKER
I like it when other people lose!
Goodbye, Timmy Turner!!! And good
riddance!

TIMMY
(getting an idea)
WAIT! Before you waste me...can I at
least have one last word with my mom
and dad?

CROCKER
Why should I allow that? What's in it for
me??

TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 99

Well, all the great, evil villains grant last


requests! Don't you want to be a great
evil villain?

CROCKER
(considering)
Well, I always have been an over-achiever.
Why settle for "villain," when I can be a
"GREAT evil villain?!" Very well...But make it
quick!

Crocker waves his scepter and POOF! Mom and Dad are released from the
force field.

MOM/DAD
TIMMY!!!

They run and hug him.

MOM
(angry; to Crocker)
You great, evil monster!

CROCKER
Thank you! I was going for that!

DAD
I'll tear you apart with my bare hands!

ZAP! Crocker gives Dad actual BEAR HANDS, claws, fur, etc.

DAD
Hey! Bear hands!

Dad steps towards Crocker.

TIMMY
MOM! DAD! NO!
(softening)
He's too powerful and...and...it's all my
fault anyway. None of this would have

happened if I hadn't gotten mad at you


today.

MOM
Oh, Timmy...we're sorry too! And you
deserve to be mad at us!

TIMMY
Let me finish...there's something I really
have to say.

DAD
No, Son, we have to say this. You were
right to be upset. We should have been
more truthful with you.

Crocker looks at his watch.

CROCKER
Oh for Pete's sake, pick it up....

MOM
But no matter what happens to us, no
matter what Crocker does...just
remember this will always be true. We
love you.

They hug Timmy.

TIMMY
I love you too. And over the years, I've
told my share of lies...

Timmy's POV - He sees Cosmo and Wanda in the scepter, staring at him.
Helpless.

ON COSMO AND WANDA

Their eyes widen. They seem to know what's coming.

TIMMY
(pointing at Cosmo and
Wanda)
You see those two creatures? Floating in
Crocker's scepter?

Mom and Dad look, and for the first time...actually see Cosmo and Wanda!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 101

MOM
Hey...they have the same eyes as your
goldfish!

DAD
And the same eyes as your notebooks!

MOM
And the same eyes as your balloons!

DAD
In fact... they look like a lot of stuff you
have!

TIMMY
You know why? Because their names are
Cosmo and Wanda...

COSMO AND WANDA


Timmy! NO!!

TIMMY
...AND THEY'RE MY FAIRY GODPARENTS!

ON CROCKER - erupting in a gleeful, magical explosion of triumphant SHAPES


AND COLORS!

CROCKER
AHA! I KNEW IT! ALL ALONG!! I WAS
RIGHT!! YOU DO HAVE FAIRIES...THAT I
HAVE NOW!! HA! HA! HA!

ON TIMMY, MOM AND DAD

MOM
You mean all this time you had magical
fairy godparents that granted your every
wish?

DAD
And I still have to work my paws to the bone to
scrape out a meager existence in a middle class
neighborhood?

TIMMY
Well, there's rules as to what I can and
can't do with them!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 102

COSMO
And you just broke the biggest one!

WANDA
When you reveal our existence, we have
to go away forever!!!

CROCKER
WHAT???

SFX: RUMBLE. POOF! A Gigantic version of "DA RULES" appears, and opens
up...and, like a magical vacuum cleaner, starts sucking Cosmo and Wanda
away! Timmy and the godparents have to shout over the swirling winds.

TIMMY
That's the point!

COSMO
But we don't want to go away forever!

WANDA
We love you!

TIMMY
I love you too! And that's why I had to
tell the truth...BECAUSE THE TRUTH WILL
SET YOU FREE!

CROCKER
NO! STOP! MY FAIRIES!!!

ZAP! Cosmo and Wanda disappear into DA RULES, and DA RULES shut with a
mighty THUD and disappear into the vortex with a clap of thunder!! Cosmo
and Wanda are, like, totally gone!

CUT TO:

EXT. FAIRYWORLD BRIDGE - CONTINUOUS

Jorgen stands at the head of the now shattered bridge from Fairyworld to
Earth. Behind him, the fairies scramble. POOF!! Cosmo and Wanda drop in.

WANDA/COSMO

POP! The vortex disappears!

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S LIVING ROOM / SLAVESDALE - CONTINUOUS

Crocker stands over Timmy furious.

CROCKER
NOOO!!! BLAST! MY FAIRIES! THEY'RE
GONE! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT!

Crocker points his scepter at Timmy. He tries to fire... BZZZZT! Nothing. No


magic. No fairies. No nothing.

CROCKER
(re: scepter)
Well...I can still smack you around with
this.

There's a tap on Crocker's shoulder. Widen to reveal, Mom and Dad are
standing right next to him.

CROCKER
Uh oh.

MOM
I'll go for his teeth.

DAD
And I'll claw out his eyes!

MOM AND DAD


And that's the truth!

Mom and Dad commence to beat the living crap out of Crocker. As they do,
the last remaining piece of the Fairy-Versary muffin flies off his neck...and
bounces in front of Timmy's feet.

TIMMY
The Fairy-Versary Muffin!

A relatively beaten up Crocker leaps into scene.

CROCKER
No!

Mom gets him in a sleeper hold.

CROCKER
AK!
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 104

He's pulled back out of scene. Timmy looks at the muffin.

TIMMY
And now for my rule-free wish...

Timmy eats it in one gulp. He glows with magic.

TIMMY
I WISH COSMO AND WANDA WERE MY
GODPARENTS
AGAIN!!!!<<BURRRRP!!!!>>

Magic waves shoot out of Timmy's mouth! The waves build and build...and
KA_FWAM!!! Cosmo and Wanda dramatically pop in next to Timmy!
Throughout this entire scene, Mom and Dad are kicking the crap out of
Crocker.

CROCKER (O.S.)
(I'm in pain Walla)

COSMO
Wow, that was quick!

WANDA
Nice use of muffin, Sport!
Would you like to do the honors?

TIMMY
You bet. I wish the world was back to
normal!

Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands. They glow with power. BZZAP!!!
Magical ripples spread out from Cosmo and Wanda moving across the
neighborhood, city, and horizon. Timmy using the magic jet pack, flies out
the window and follows the magical wave!

CUT TO:

EXT. ALL ACROSS THE PLANET - SAME TIME

Timmy flies around the world, keeping pace with the magic, watching it
change everything in the world from Crocker's utopia back to normal.

TIMMY
Wahooo!!!!

MOM (V.O.)
Bye, Timmy!

DIFFERENT ANGLE: Mom and Dad are in the CAR.

MOM
We're off to work!

DAD
(clearly lying)
And after paying all the bills, we're going
to sock the extra cash away for your
college fund!

Mom elbows Dad.

DAD
(telling the truth)
I mean spend it on a nice dinner alone!

TIMMY
Cool! Parents who tell the truth!

Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands and POOF! The three disappear. They
reappear in...

CUT TO:

INT. TIMMY'S SCHOOL - SAME TIME


The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 106

Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda POOF in, their heads peeking around a corner.
Crocker is in the center of a hallway, surrounded by a group of kids and
Waxelplax, ranting.

TIMMY
Same old school! And same old Crocker!

CROCKER
It's true! Fairies exist! And someday, you
will all bow down to me!

Widen to reveal two very burly ORDERLIES, one holding a STRAIGHT JACKET.

WAXELPLAX
But today, it's time for you to bow
down...for your medicine.

One of the orderlies pulls out a gigantic NEEDLE. The other one turns
Crocker and bends him over.

ORDERLY
Night, night, crazy guy.

ON TIMMY, COSMO AND WANDA - we hear the needle poke Crocker in the butt.

CROCKER
Aaagh!!

CUT TO:

INT. - TIMMY'S ROOM - SAME TIME

Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda POOF into scene.

TIMMY
And my same old room! Everything's the
way it should be! My parents are finally
telling the truth while I continue to lie to
them about you guys!

SFX: A gigantic explosion... And Jorgen appears!

JORGEN
STOP!!!

Jorgen towers over Timmy, furious.

JORGEN
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 107

"Rule free wish" or not, you almost destroyed the


world and you revealed the existence of your
fairy godparents!

As Jorgen talks, Timmy - using GLOVES - unscrews the "Forget Me Knob" from
his door and hides it behind his back.

JORGEN
Your godparents must return to Fairyworld
with me at once!! And this time, they will
be reassigned to a more trustworthy
child!! Any last words, puny Earth boy?

TIMMY
(smiles) "Catch."

Timmy throws the Forget-Me-Knob in the air so that it conks Jorgen on the
head...HARD.

JORGEN
OW!!! I...wait...what was I just doing?

WANDA
You were just about to reassign us!

JORGEN
Really?

COSMO
Yeah! Word on the street is there's a ten
year old boy with a little pink hat and a
horrible baby sitter, who could really use
some fairy godparents!

JORGEN
Well, okay! Where would I find such a
child?

TIMMY
Ahem.

JORGEN
(to Timmy)
You! I will assign them to you until my
head stops hurting and I can concentrate
long enough to find such a child!
(beat)
The Fairly OddParents: "Abra-Catastrophe" by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel final draft 5.3.02 108

What was I going to do next?

COSMO
Scramble the fairies?

JORGEN
YES!! I LIKE TO SCRAMBLE THE FAIRIES!!!

With a thunderous POOF, Jorgen disappears! Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda all
stand there for a beat.

TIMMY
Well?

COSMO
(beat) Well what?

TIMMY
Did I not just get assigned fairy
godparents?

WANDA
Oh...right!

They get a running start and fly right up to Timmy.

COSMO
I'm Cosmo!

WANDA
I'm Wanda!

COSMO AND WANDA


And weeeeee're...YOUR FAIRY
GODPARENTS!!!

TIMMY
