FADE IN:
TIMMY
Awesome! And now that I hid - I mean
ate -- all my spinach, I can finally have
dessert!
TIMMY (cont'd)
Hey! What gives? Where's dessert?
MOM
This is dessert! It's carrot cake!
DAD
Without the cake!
TIMMY
Vegetables for dessert? Can I have dinner
at AJ's tomorrow?
DISSOLVE TO:
AJ
Okay, now that my Dad has finished our
meals, it's time for dessert.
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 3
TIMMY
Yay, dessert!
TIMMY (cont'd)
A math book?
AJ
It's Tuesday! On Tuesday, we multiply
fractions for dessert!
TIMMY
But... But... But... I wanted something
sweet!
AJ'S DAD
Nothing's sweeter than knowledge!
DISSOLVE TO:
MARK
Turner! You have finally accepted my
invitation to share in your earthly, nightly
face-filling ritual!
TIMMY
Right! And since you're Yugopatamian, and
everything you do is backwards, you
probably serve dessert first!
MARK
That is correct! Enjoy!
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 4
MARK (cont'd)
A broccoli and brussel sprout sundae! Is
it not broccoli and brussel sprout-a-riffic?
TIMMY
No! It's not! I want sugar! Chocolate!
Stuff that will make my teeth rot on
contact!
MARK
Dude, that stuff will kill me! Besides, on
Yugopatamia, this is desserty tooth-rotting
goodness!
MARK (cont'd)
(toothless) Want some?
TIMMY
I want dessert and I want it all the time!
No carrots, no broccoli... No math books!
COSMO
Yeah! I'm knowledge intolerant!
WANDA
But Timmy, eating healthy is what gives
us the energy and brain power to
function properly.
TIMMY
Really? So I'm sure -- chocolate -- the last
thing you'd -- chocolate --want is for me to
wish that there was nothing -- chocolate --
but chocolate! Chocolate.
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 5
WANDA
Did you say chocolate? (snaps)7
Make the wish! Make the wish!!!
COSMO
I'm not usually the skeptical one here,
but when Wanda eats a lot of sugar she
tends to...
WANDA
What Cosmo doesn't know is nobody
gives a hoot about his opinion.
Dessert wish! Make it happen!
TIMMY
I wish for no more breakfast, lunch or
dinner, just - dessert!
Wanda waves her WAND and a SWEET POOF fills the screen.
DISSOLVE TO:
MOM
Morning, Timmy! Time for dessert!
MOM
I made your favorite! Scrambled cake
with three strips of chocolate and a
hearty bowl of frosting!
TIMMY
Life is sweet, and so is breakfast!
Timmy approaches a LUNCH LADY who looks a little like Willy Wonka.
Wanda and Cosmo are MILK CARTONS. She plunks some food down on
Timmy's plate.
LUNCH LADY
There's your lunch. A sandwich.
TIMMY
Yeah! An ice cream sandwich! This is
awesome!
WANDA
(mouth full) I agree!
DISSOLVE TO:
COSMO
Um, Timmy I'm not one to complain--
that's usually Wanda--but when she eats
a lot of sugar she gets...
WANDA
The only thing I get when I eat dessert all
day is a teeny weeny...
COSMO
Oh no! Sugar rush! Run, Timmy! There's
nothing healthy in her stomach to absorb
the sweets! Run!
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 7
Wanda explodes with energy and bounces around the room like a
rubber rocket. Now Timmy starts to shake.
TIMMY
Neat! I'm getting one too.
(to Cosmo)
RUN!!!
COSMO
Wow! Nobody's listening to me! I feel
like Wanda!
(re: cake)
Ah, well... you know the old saying,
"When in Rome... let them eat cake!"
COSMO (cont'd)
Yay!
CUT TO:
CHET UBETCHA reports. He's got a lot of energy. Behind him, we see
pictures of the scenes he is describing.
CHET
(talking super fast)
I'm Chet Ubetcha with the morning news
hour. All over Dimmsdale people are
buzzing around with bursts of energy.
The sugar rush hour traffic is moving at
the speed of light. All the sports set world
records and last night I wrote five operas.
That's the news.
CHET
And now I'm off to run a marathon!
CUT TO:
BUSES screech to a halt and KIDS zip off them and into the school.
Beat. Chet runs by.
CROCKER
Okay, let's get started with a test none of
you are prepared for!
Very quickly, Crocker hands out the tests. Kids grab them, write
frantically, then hand them back to Crocker who grades them with
lightening speed and hands them back.
CROCKER (cont'd)
F! F! F! F! F! And now I think I'll run a
marathon! But first: FAIRYGODPARENTS!
FAIRYGODPARENTS! FAIRYGODPARENTS!!!
Crocker crashes out the window and runs away. The bell <rings> and
everybody runs out of the class.
DISSOLVE TO:
Kids run out of the school and into BUSES, which peel out of the shot.
Beat. Chet and Crocker run past the other way dressed in MARATHON
RACING CLOTHES.
CUT TO:
TIMMY
Wow! A whole day of school in just 3
minutes! How sweet is this dessert wish?
COSMO
Again, I'm not one to inject logic into a
situation--that's usually Wanda--but
eventually all this extra sugar energy
wears off.
TIMMY
And then what?
COSMO
I'm not sure. It's something to do with
weight...
CUT TO:
TIMMY
Is it eat too many sweets and you get
real heavy?
TIMMY (cont'd)
Are you sure?
DAD
Oh, Timmy!
DAD tries to enter but he can only get his belly in the door.
COSMO
No, that's not it...
DAD
You're gonna miss the bus! Now you roll
down those stairs right now, young man,
before you're late!
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 10
TIMMY
What? No, wait, ahhhhh!!!
Dad rolls Timmy down the stairs. We hear all kinds of <crashing> and
pained Timmy noises. Then Dad rolls down.
COSMO
Um... Shouldn't we go with Timmy in
case he needs something?
WANDA
Oh, okay...
Cosmo and Wanda try to fly but their wings can't lift them off the
ground. They <<GRUNT>> and are way too large to fly.
WANDA (cont'd)
You know, if he needs us he can come
get us.
COSMO
I like the way you think. Have you been
eating books for dessert?
SANJAY, ELMER, AJ, CHESTER and other KIDS lethargically roll through
the hallway. It's crammed.
TIMMY
(to himself)
Well, at least we now live in a world
where nobody makes fun of you for being
unfit anymore...
FRANCIS
Hey everybody, it's the fit kid, let's make
fun of him!
TAD
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 11
FRANCIS
Hey! Let's stuff him in the locker because
he'll fit.
Kids stuff Mark in the locker and <laugh> really loud, then stop
because they get really winded and collapse. Behind them, in his
locker, Mark MORPHS to his SQUID FORM, presses a BUTTON on his
belt and materializes a GIGANTIC RAY GUN that powers up with nobody
noticing, except Timmy who gives Mark a "Dude, no!" head shake.
Mark acknowledges it, and before anyone can turn their heads, retracts
the gun and MORPHS back to human form. He walks past Timmy,
<whistling.>
MARK
Non-puny humans, I'm outta here!
TIMMY
Well, at least Francis doesn't have the
energy to bully anyone anymore! This
turned out to be a pretty good wish after
all!
DISSOLVE TO:
CROCKER
So a planet's orbit is relative to its size and
distance from the sun. Only a significant
shift in weight in one area of the planet, oh
say the size of Dimmsdale, could unbalance
it and send it wobbling into the sun! Now if
you'll open your desks, you'll find -- MORE
DESSERT!
Kids <cheer>, open their desks and pull out CAKE. VARIOUS SHOTS of
kids stuffing their faces with food.
CLOSE ON the KIDS' STOMACHS. Like The Hulk growing from anger,
they get larger.
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 12
CLOSE ON the KIDS' FEET. Suddenly we see they're cracking the floor.
Kids start to sink. They sink deeper.
SNAP OUT SUPER WIDE to reveal the EARTH wobbling out of its orbit
and moving toward the sun...
TIMMY
On second thought, this turned out to be
a pretty bad wish.
SANJAY
Ahhh! We are hurtling toward the sun for
a molten date with death. Roll! Roll for
your lives!
TIMMY
I've got to get Cosmo and Wanda and
wish everything back to normal!
DISSOLVE TO:
Timmy rolls up and into his house. In the sky, the SUN is getting bigger
and bigger.
TIMMY
Now just up the stairs and...
TIMMY (cont'd)
Oh man... I'm so unhealthy, I don't have
the...energy to climb stairs... So I'll just
have to bring them downstairs.
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 13
Looking up at the ceiling, he takes three paces to his left, then four
paces right. He jumps up and down once. A CRACK LINE forms from his
feet, up the wall and across the ceiling, forming a circle. Suddenly...
CRACK! Cosmo and Wanda <crash> through the ceiling to the floor.
TIMMY
I wish everyone was back to normal and
that the Earth wasn't going to crash into
the sun!
WANDA
I'm a little winded, Sport. Can you handle
it on your own?
COSMO
Oh, I'll do it! Hang on... My wand's here
somewhere.
Cosmo reaches into his tummy folds to locate his wand but he pulls out
only DESSERTS and a DOG.
COSMO (cont'd)
Not my wand. Not my wand. Hey, there's
that dog I was looking for!
WANDA
I can use my wand! If I just had enough
energy to wave my arm.
TIMMY
Oh man, you were right. You do need
healthy foods to have the energy to do
things... Like lift your arms!
WANDA
But all the food in the world is dessert!
COSMO
And nobody eats healthy food for
dessert! Hey, there's that cowboy!
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 14
COWBOY
Howdy pardner!
TIMMY
Healthy food for dessert! That's it!
DISSOLVE TO:
Mark Chang's ship runs idle. In the sky, the sun gets larger.
MARK
Why would I give you my last can of
spinach cobbler? It's the tastiest of all
Yugopotamian desserts!
TIMMY
So you're saying you won't help me
saved my doomed planet?
MARK
Um, yeah.
MARK (cont'd)
AAAAGH! STOP!!! EVEN UNDER EARTH'S
LIGHTER GRAVITY, YOU ARE CRUSHING
MY GELATINOUS FORM!
TIMMY
Thanks! Can I get a lift to my house?
MARK
Are you mad? I cannot lift you!
DISSOLVE TO:
The Fairly OddParents: “Just Desserts” final draft by Scott Fellows. 10.3.03. 15
Crash! Timmy crashes though the roof and lands on Wanda who
<yells> in pain. Through the CEILING HOLE, we can see Mark's ship
retracting a claw that was holding him. Cosmo and the Cowboy are
stunned.
COWBOY
What in tarnation?
With her mouth open, Timmy, like Popeye, pours the spinach cobbler
into Wanda's mouth. Suddenly Wanda's eyes brighten. She stands and
strikes a weightlifter pose.
WANDA
Quick! Before I run out of energy!
TIMMY
I wish everything was back to normal!
POOF! OUTSIDE the sun pulls back. Trees return to normal. The grass
becomes green and the hot dog becomes a Daschshund again.
Francis holds a large MELVIN and is trying to shove him in the locker, to
no avail.
FRANCIS
Stupid big Melvin won't fit in stupid big
locker!
FRANCIS (cont'd)
Awright! Everything old is new again!
DISSOLVE TO:
TIMMY
Lesson learned. Dessert is great on
occasion but balanced diets are what
keep all of us healthy - and not hurtling
into the sun!
CLOSE ON Cosmo.
COSMO
But these rolls are so convenient, I just
couldn't get rid of them!
WANDA (O.S.)
Cosmo, get me out of here!
Cosmo reaches into his roll and pulls out a CAR TIRE.
COSMO
Not Wanda. Not Wanda...
COSMO (cont'd)
Hey, here's the cowboy hunting that
other cowboy!
SHERIFF
I'm looking for the varmint called Pecos
Bill!
The first Cowboy dives back into Cosmo's fat. The Sheriff follows!
COSMO
Ohhh... That tickles!
IRIS OUT
END.
