Super Tom/Transcript

(Timmy runs around, wearing a cape)

Timmy: Super Timmy soars high above the city, in search of danger!

(An armadillo shows up. Timmy stops to observe)

Timmy: Aha! An evil villain in some kind of armored vehicle!

(The armadillo curls up into a ball, Ginger flees. Ben notices the armadillo)

Ed: I see you've encountered a Dasypus Novemcinctus, or Common armadillo. *sighs* Now kindly retroactive grappling hooks.

Timmy: Sorry, I'd love to be a real superhero.

Ed: And I love a challenge!

(Cut to inside Ben’s trailer. Ben shows a machine to Timmy.)

Ed: By rearranging your molecular structure, this little baby will give you a SUPERPOWER!

Timmy: (excited) What kind of power?

(Ed puts a mask at the back of his head, holding the tube of the machine in his left paw.)

Ed: No idea, but it's perfectly safe.

(Ed puts on his mask, turns on the machine. A flash of light, Ben takes his mask off, on higher ground.)

Ed: You did not evaporate, excellent! Now, let's figure out what your power is.

(Ed looks down.)

Ed: Ah, got it.

(It turns out Timmy is holding up Ben with his new super strength.)

Timmy: Hey! I'm super strong! I’ve gotta tell everybody.

(Timmy runs off, letting go of Ben. Ed tries to stop him.)

Ed: (holding a stop gesture with his paw) The door!

(Timmy crashes through the wall.)

Ed: (disappointed) *sigh* I loved that wall.

(Outside, Timmy does the same to Eddy and Daggett. Ed stands outside too.)

Eddy: (to Ed, jealous) You gave Timmy superpowers and not me? I’ve always wanted superpowers!

Daggett: I once gave you crust for my sandwich! You owe me!

Ed: Put them down, Timmy.

(Timmy does so.)

Ed: Okay, you can each have a power.

Eddy: (excited) I'm first!

(Eddy runs towards Ed. Daggett exclaims. Ed starts using the machine on him. A flash of light.)

Ed: Well, what's your power?

(Eddy runs off, very very quickly. A close up on him.)

Eddy: Super Speed!

(An interested Daggett walks towards Ed. Ed rejects the turn.)

Ed: Uh, I'm next!

(Ed uses the machine on himself, another flash of light. Ed aims his paws at a cactus, a blast of ice comes out of the paws and freezes the cactus. Daggett gets surprised.)

Ed: Cool! Literally.

Daggett: Me too! I'm next!

(Ed uses the machine on Daggett, yes, you’ve guessed it, a flash of light. Daggett floats in the air, doesn’t flap his wings.)

Daggett: Really? Flight? I'm a bird! Ed, I want a different power!

(The armadillo Timmy encountered before crawls up to the machine.)

Ed: Sorry. Using the device afresh is disallowed due to a dramatic moleculisation of monstrous proportions.

(As Ed speaks, the armadillo flicks the switch, a flash of- well you get the idea. It stands on its hind legs, growing in size.)

Ed: Check this out!

(Ed makes a frozen wall. Timmy picks it up. Eddy runs towards Ed. Daggett flies down.)

Eddy: (hyped) Oh, this is the best day ever!

Ed: (looks forward, scared) Or not...

(The armadillo had turned into a monster. It walks towards the foursome.)

Daggett: Uh oh. Houston, we have a problem!

Edd: Run for it, please!

Eddy: (shocked) I better say it's gargantuan!

(The armadillo monster roars.)

Eddy: (brave) Have no fear! (runs around the armadillo) With my super speed I can easily-

(The armadillo monster knocks Tom back into the front of his trailer.)

Eddy: ...uh, be ineffectual.

(It roars again. Ed begins a clever plan.)

Ed: Daggett, distract him! Eddy, tickle him! And Timmy, get ready to push!

(Eddy and Daggett run and fly towards the armadillo, Timmy stays in an exact spot. Eddy runs around it, while Daggett taunts it.)

Daggett: Hey plate-face! (blows a raspberry)

(The armadillo’s laser eyes try to zap Daggett. He flies around.)

Daggett: Whoa, perfume me!

(Eddy tickles the armadillo’s belly, it laughs.)

Eddy: (repeatedly says “Tickle tickle tickle...”)

(The armadillo curls up into a giant ball. Ed sends Timmy a signal.)

Ed: Now Timmy!

(Timmy runs up to push the armadillo towards Ben’s trailer.)

Ed: (worried) My trailer!

(Ed freezes a wall on his trailer, which bounds the armadillo towards the machine and broke it. One more flash of light. The armadillo turns back to normal, not knowing what happened. Ginger struggles to pick up a rock.)

Timmy: (grunts hard)

(Eddy runs back to Ed, slowly this time.)

Eddy: (worried) Hey! All our powers are gone!

(Daggett suddenly falls from the sky.)

Daggett: Save me!

(He then flaps his wings, which made him properly fly.)

Daggett: Oh right, never mind!

(Daggett safely falls back down next to Ben.)

Eddy: I guess we learnt that “with great power comes great responsibility.”

Ed: (sarcastic coughs) No we didn't.

Eddy: (disappointed) You're right. (cheeky) Let's do something crazier!

(Ed rolls his eyes.)
