Kid:
[off-screen] Cool! [pan quickly to him; he is holding a box with Blossom’s picture] He’s got the limited-edition, trilingual talking Powerpuff dolls! You can’t even get these anymore!
Lenny:
[reaches into view and snatches the box away; pull back to bring him into view] That’s because I bought them all!
Kid:
But you didn’t even open ’em yet.
Lenny:
Huh, duh! Hello! [knocking on kid’s head] Earth to kid! [close-up of him, panning slowly to the box] Toys are not for playing with. They are an investment. And opening the container of said item would dramatically decrease its collector’s value!
[The Professor reaches into view and yanks the box away.]
Professor:
[off-screen] You mean like... [cut to him, hand poised on the box top] this?!
[Zoom in on the box; he rips it open; the sound echoes in the air as Lenny clasps his hands to his head in agony at the collector's value being lost thanks to the Professor's action. Close-up of him and tilt up.]
Lenny:
NOOOOOOOO!!! [cut to the Professor, shown the same way]
Professor:
Now tell me where the girls are! [Lenny is slumped against a wall]
Lenny:
[turns in defiance] Never!
[Cut to the Professor and pan left as he speaks. Next to him is a row of eager kids.]
Professor:
Okay, kids, grab some toys.
[They scatter and seize one package after another from the shelves. Back to the Professor.]
Professor:
It’s your move, Lenny. [pull back; the kids have the toys in hand] Tell us, or else. (Cut to Lenny and pan left.)
Lenny:
Or else what?! [close-up of the Professor and tilt down right]
Professor:
Billy?
[One boy tears up the box he holds, and Lenny doubles over as if he has just been hit in the gut. Another package with its collector's value destroyed. Close-up of the Professor and pan left.]
Professor:
Had enough? [cut to Lenny; pan right]
Lenny:
You won’t get them! [The Professor; pan left]
Professor:
Susie?
[Now a girl opens her package. Cut to Lenny, who screams as he loses even more money from his prized possessions, and tilt up. Extreme close-up of the Professor’s mouth, panning left.]
Professor:
Now? [Lenny’s eyes, pan left]
Lenny:
NO! [cut to another boy]
Professor:
[off-screen] Jimmy?
[The boy rips open his box; Lenny clutches his stomach again in losing another investment; pans left. Extreme close-up of the Professor’s eyes, pans right.]
Professor:
Well? [Lenny’s mouth; pans left]
Lenny:
N-N-NO! [cut to another girl]
Professor:
[off-screen] Julie?
[She shreds her box, causing a great deal of physical discomfort to the toy collector. He cries out and begins to slump over. The toll of losing his investments is starting to take effect on him big time.]
Lenny:
[weakly] I think I’m gonna be sick... [drops to his knees. Cut to the Professor's feet and tilt up to him]
Professor:
You’ll tell us where they are, then?
Lenny:
[defiantly] N-N-NEVER!
Professor:
Well, suit yourself. Kids...?
[Shadows on the wall show one package after another being torn into confetti, and Lenny does not take it at all well. His reactions are similar to those exhibited by criminals who are being soundly thrashed by the Girls. Screaming and gibbering, he tumbles to the ground in slow motion and presumably falls unconscious upon hitting the carpet. The Professor crosses the room, his head cut off by the top of the screen.]
Professor:
Let me tell you something, Lenny. [stopping at Lenny, kneeling over him] You may have all of the toys, all of the merchandise, all of the so-called “collector’s value.” But one thing you don’t have, Lenny, is true fandom. [zoom in slowly] For a true fan wouldn’t want to selfishly keep the girls to himself. A true fan would want them to be free. [straightens up. The background dissolves to red and white stripes, waving like the American flag, and his figure turns blue] Free to do the things they do best. To do the things we love most about them. [normal color returns; he bends down again] Now why don’t you be a fan... and tell me where they are?
Lenny:
[weakly, pointing into air] T-the... t-top shelf.
[The Professor looks behind himself to where Lenny has indicated and smiles broadly when he sees the three packages; pull back to frame them on the shelf behind him.]
