2. Hey, D.W.!Copy !req
3. Hey!Copy !req
4. Whoa!
(loud thud)Copy !req
5. This is the final battle:

6. Winner takes all!Copy !req
7. Who's it gonna be?Copy !req
8. Long Haul?Copy !req
9. Ice Cold?Copy !req
10. Smelly?Copy !req
11. Or Johnny Half-Ton?Copy !req
12. You're goin' down, Half-Ton!Copy !req
13. That's just
your trash talkin', Smelly!Copy !req
14. We'll see who's got
"pull" around here.Copy !req
15. Oh, I can't look!Copy !req
16. Put your pedal to the metal,
Johnny.Copy !req
17. So, want to go for a drive?Copy !req
18. Yahoo!Copy !req
19. I can't believe I paid
money to see this movie.Copy !req
20. I can't believe someone
spent money to make it.Copy !req
21. Are there any kid movies
with decent girl characters?Copy !req
22. Hey! Did you guys
just see Trucks?Copy !req
23. Wasn't it awesome?Copy !req
24. No, it was not "awesome"!Copy !req
25. There were only two girls
in the entire movie:Copy !req
26. Johnny's mom and his airhead
girlfriend, Cindy Cupholder.Copy !req
27. That's not true!Copy !req
28. What about
Rita the meter maid?Copy !req
29. She had one measly line and it
was less than ten words.Copy !req
30. Yeah, but it was a good one—
"Park it, Cindy!"Copy !req
31. Oh, that was funny.Copy !req
32. Look at all these
movie posters.Copy !req
33. Kung Fu Koala— a boy.Copy !req
34. Donny Droid— another boy.Copy !req
35. The Ram Pack—
all boys!Copy !req
36. I rest my case.Copy !req
37. So? Big deal, there are
a lot of movies for boys.Copy !req
38. You girls have all those
princess movies.Copy !req
39. Oh, please!Copy !req
40. Even I get tired
of those.Copy !req
41. Hey, Molly,Copy !req
42. you liked Trucks,
didn't you?Copy !req
43. I don't go to animated movies
anymore.Copy !req
44. The girls in them
are all total doofuses.Copy !req
45. In fact, if I could, I'd give
those movie producersCopy !req
46. a piece of my mind.Copy !req
47. Well, lucky for you,
Crosswires have
connections.Copy !req
48. I say we tell
the people in chargeCopy !req
49. just what we think
of their movies.Copy !req
50. Couldn't hurt.Copy !req
51. Beats just standing around
and complaining.Copy !req
52. Good luck with that!Copy !req
53. Don't be surprised when they
tell you to "Park it!"Copy !req
54. Genius.Copy !req
55. In conclusion, over half the
people on earth are girls.Copy !req
56. So please— put it all in caps—Copy !req
57. create some decent
girl characters.Copy !req
58. Signed...Copy !req
59. The Group of Three.Copy !req
60. Wait till Spike Mailer,Copy !req
61. assistant vice-president of
public relations at Tough Films,Copy !req
62. gets a load of that.Copy !req
63. Wow. That was fast.Copy !req
64. "Thank you for your e-mailCopy !req
65. about "Please create some
decent girl characters."Copy !req
66. Your thoughts on "Please create
some decent girl characters"Copy !req
67. are important to us.Copy !req
68. Figures.Copy !req
69. And remember,
go see Trucks,Copy !req
70. the movie about a boy
who follows his dreams.Copy !req
71. But they didn't address
any of our complaints.Copy !req
72. News flash,
Little Miss Muffet:Copy !req
73. they didn't even read
your e-mail.Copy !req
74. That's just an
automatic response.Copy !req
75. What do we do now?Copy !req
76. Girls, we make our own
animated movie.Copy !req
77. Meet Agent Double X.Copy !req
78. That's amazing!Copy !req
79. You drew that just now?Copy !req
80. Actually, I've been doodling
Agent Double X for years.Copy !req
81. But it's cool if we use her
for the movie.Copy !req
82. Yeah, well,
"news flash,"Copy !req
83. we can't just make
an animated movie.Copy !req
84. Those things
cost millions.Copy !req
85. Details.Copy !req
86. Anyway, financing
isn't my department.Copy !req
87. But if you girls want to create
something, look me up.Copy !req
88. Peace out.Copy !req
89. I hate that expression.Copy !req
90. What does it even mean?Copy !req
91. Maybe it isn't
such a far-fetched idea.Copy !req
92. Think about it, Francine.Copy !req
93. Our own animated movie...Copy !req
94. "Agent Double X
in Double Dutch."Copy !req
95. "She puts the 'Grrr!'
in 'Girl'!"Copy !req
96. Phht! I'll pass.Copy !req
97. Return of Agent Double X?Copy !req
98. Revenge of Agent Double X?Copy !req
99. Daughter of Agent Double X?Copy !req
100. But these are girls' movies!Copy !req
101. No one wants to watch these.Copy !req
102. Oh, yeah?Copy !req
103. Let's do it!Copy !req
104. And then, once we've made
a couple of movies,Copy !req
105. we'll branch out
into video games.Copy !req
106. I have this really cool ideaCopy !req
107. for an Agent Double X
sports series.Copy !req
108. Sports series?Copy !req
109. Agent Double X doesn't
play sports!Copy !req
110. Why not?Copy !req
111. Because she's a glamorous spy.Copy !req
112. She's not a spy.Copy !req
113. She's a punk rocker who
occasionally saves the world.Copy !req
114. Oh, fine.Copy !req
115. But she wears couture.Copy !req
116. I don't know
what that means,Copy !req
117. but if you even think
of putting her in a dress...Copy !req
118. She's right, Muffy.Copy !req
119. You can't play soccer
in a dress.Copy !req
120. Who said anything about soccer?Copy !req
121. News flash: She rocks outCopy !req
122. and saves humanity
from its stupidity.Copy !req
123. If you say "news flash" one more
time, I'm leaving this table.Copy !req
124. Ooh! You got chili on me!Copy !req
125. I'm leaving!Copy !req
126. And sending you
a dry cleaning bill.Copy !req
127. Neither of you can leave
because I'm leaving first.Copy !req
128. Not if I beat you to it!Copy !req
129. Ow!Copy !req
130. How did your talk
with the movie producers go?Copy !req
131. We decided to make
our own movie instead.Copy !req
132. Oh, really?Copy !req
133. Good luck with that.Copy !req
134. If these two weren't on top of
me, Barnes, I'd pulverize you!Copy !req
135. I guess our first creative
meeting didn't go so well.Copy !req
136. No.Copy !req
137. But I don't care if Agent Double
X is a goalie who wears a tutu.Copy !req
138. We have to do something.Copy !req
139. Yeah, and we only
have a week.Copy !req
140. Oh, didn't I tell you?Copy !req
141. I already sent out invitations.Copy !req
142. You can't make an
animated movie in a week.Copy !req
143. Well, thanks for telling
me that now.Copy !req
144. (whistles)
We don't have time
to argue.Copy !req
145. Time's wasting.Copy !req
146. I hope you two are
wearing running shoes.Copy !req
147. You touch anything I don't tell
you to touch, you get hurt.Copy !req
148. We don't have time
for a feature,Copy !req
149. but we might be able to whip up
a cool short.Copy !req
150. First we'll need
to storyboard everything.Copy !req
151. Are you two listening?Copy !req
152. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
153. Everything needs to be
store-bought.Copy !req
154. No problem.Copy !req
155. I said, "storyboard."Copy !req
156. That's where we visualize
the story with pictures.Copy !req
157. How about this for a beginning?Copy !req
158. We see Agent Double X's
secret hideout,Copy !req
159. which is an old caboose...Copy !req
160. on an abandoned train track
in the middle of nowhere.Copy !req
161. But it's not too far from Paris.Copy !req
162. (sighs)
Fine.Copy !req
163. Agent Double X is just chilling,
listening to some Mutakrude...Copy !req
164. On her speakers.Copy !req
165. When, all of a sudden,
her cat...Copy !req
166. her cat butler...Copy !req
167. delivers her a CD.Copy !req
168. Agent Double X, the world
desperately needs your help.Copy !req
169. I represent a powerful
secret organizationCopy !req
170. called the Group of Three.Copy !req
171. We are strong...Copy !req
172. creative...Copy !req
173. graceful individuals...Copy !req
174. Well, most of us are.Copy !req
175. It has come to our attention
that certain evil forcesCopy !req
176. are trying to take over
the planet.Copy !req
177. We need you to find
these evil forcesCopy !req
178. and show them who's boss.Copy !req
179. The task may take long...Copy !req
180. And there will be
many obstacles.Copy !req
181. But in the end,
we know you shall prevail.Copy !req
182. It may only be one minute long,
but it's a movie.Copy !req
183. Hey, we never gave it a name.Copy !req
184. What should we call it?Copy !req
185. Sleep.Copy !req
186. Sorry.Copy !req
187. That's all I got.Copy !req
188. You title it.Copy !req
189. We trust you.Copy !req
190. See you at the big
premiere tomorrow.Copy !req
191. Where's my gown, Bailey?Copy !req
192. Heads up!Copy !req
193. Hey, how's your girl movie
doing?Copy !req
194. Come see for yourself.Copy !req
195. The screening's this evening.Copy !req
196. Oh, by the way,Copy !req
197. you just threw that guy's paper
into the doghouse.Copy !req
198. Whoa!
(crashes)Copy !req
199. We're supposed to start
in five minutes! Where is she?Copy !req
200. Relax.Copy !req
201. You think I'd miss
my own premiere?Copy !req
202. I was getting a haircut.Copy !req
203. You got the movie?Copy !req
204. It's right... wait a minute.Copy !req
205. I put it right here this
morning, I swear!Copy !req
206. It didn't leave me
for a second.Copy !req
207. Hey, there may not be
any girl heroes in movies,Copy !req
208. but check out this great cartoon
I found on the sidewalk!Copy !req
209. The Agent of Change?Copy !req
210. Yeah, the title's not
so great, but...Copy !req
211. Thanks.Copy !req
212. Kill the lights!Copy !req
213. A Group of Three production.Copy !req
214. Our story begins in a caboose,Copy !req
215. in the middle of nowhere
outside of Paris.Copy !req
216. I'll get you,
Agent Double X!Copy !req
217. You haven't heard the last
of Cranky Yarns!Copy !req
218. Oh, really?
Good luck with that!Copy !req
219. Genius.Copy !req
220. Now, that was a movie
I'd pay money to see.Copy !req
221. I can't wait
to see the sequel.Copy !req
222. I can't wait to make
the sequel!Copy !req
223. And now...Copy !req
224. This is the computer clubhouseCopy !req
225. at the Museum of Science,
Boston.Copy !req
226. We're making our own movie.Copy !req
227. Last week we got together
to brainstorm.Copy !req
228. Should have, like, two girls
only think about theirself.Copy !req
229. They should have
a big house.Copy !req
230. Lanice and Marlin
are helping us.Copy !req
231. The school bell rings...Copy !req
232. Okay, write that down.Copy !req
233. Does something happen
when the school bell rings?Copy !req
234. They shove people going,
"Get out the way!"Copy !req
235. The first thing we got
to do is write a script.Copy !req
236. And we did a storyboard.Copy !req
237. And it's right here.Copy !req
238. And now we're making all
the pictures right now.Copy !req
239. We're adding pictures
to the words.Copy !req
240. Now we're going to record
our voices.Copy !req
241. kids at school.Copy !req
242. Our title is
Manners Is the Way to Go.Copy !req
243. After a long day at school...Copy !req
244. Oh my gosh, that quiz
was way too easyCopy !req
245. for us fourth graders.Copy !req
246. Yeah, that quiz was easy,Copy !req
247. but getting through these
hallways is the hard part.Copy !req
248. Ow! Ow! Stop! Get away!Copy !req
249. While at home eating some milk
and cookies,Copy !req
250. the two friends talked
about their day.Copy !req
251. Can you believe
those kids at schoolCopy !req
252. didn't get out
of our way?Copy !req
253. I'm sure they
seen us coming.Copy !req
254. Excuse me.Copy !req
255. Huh?Copy !req
256. Next time you should
say, "Excuse me."Copy !req
257. Oh!Copy !req
258. The next day at school, the
girls put those words to use.Copy !req
259. Excuse me.Copy !req
260. Not only did they surprise
their schoolmates,Copy !req
261. they surprised themselves
by the positive response.Copy !req
262. Wow, that was easy.Copy !req
263. Yeah, we should try this
more often because...Copy !req
264. And now...Copy !req
265. So, Bananamana...Copy !req
266. mana... mano..Copy !req
267. It's Bananomanoman!Copy !req
268. Oh, whatever.Copy !req
269. Will you come quietly?Copy !req
270. Never!Copy !req
271. Banana Peel... away!Copy !req

273. Can children resist imitatingCopy !req
274. what they see on TV?Copy !req
275. "Dark Bunny... hop!"Copy !req
276. No, the kick has to come
a little sooner.Copy !req
277. And make it bigger.Copy !req
278. Try it again,

286. It's 4:00!Copy !req

301. It's the party of your life,Copy !req
302. where all your fantasies
come true!Copy !req
303. D.W.:
Dad? Can I have a wedding?Copy !req
304. Of course you can, Sweetie—
when you're older.Copy !req
305. Hi, Emily!Copy !req
306. Guess what?Copy !req
307. I'm having a wedding.Copy !req
308. Do your parents know about this?Copy !req
309. My dad said I could have
a wedding when I'm older.Copy !req
310. That was an hour ago,
and now I'm older.Copy !req
311. I don't know...Copy !req
312. It's the best party
of your life, Emily,Copy !req
313. where all your
fantasies come true.Copy !req
314. I saw it on TV.Copy !req
315. Besides, you get to be
my bridesmaid.Copy !req
316. What's that?Copy !req
317. I'm not exactly sure,Copy !req
318. but the party guy from the show
says I need one.Copy !req
319. There's a whole list of stuff we
need, so we better get to work.Copy !req
320. D.W.:
Okay, we'll need an onion.Copy !req
321. When you get married,
you have to cry a lot.Copy !req
322. The onion could come in handy.Copy !req
323. And a big, fancy dress.Copy !req
324. Oh!Copy !req
325. Marie-Hélène has a box
of fancy dressesCopy !req
326. she was going to give away
in her room.Copy !req
327. I'll go get them.Copy !req
328. It's beautiful!Copy !req
329. I'm so happy!Copy !req
330. (in normal voice):
How was that?Copy !req
331. Great!Copy !req
332. I don't think you'll need
the onion.Copy !req
333. We also need music, food...Copy !req
334. And a guy in a suit
who tells you to say: "I do."Copy !req
335. Why does he make you say that?Copy !req
336. I don't know,
but it seemed to beCopy !req
337. a big part of the whole
wedding thing for some reason.Copy !req
338. Wow, we sure have
a lot of stuff to do.Copy !req
339. And where are we going
to find a palace?Copy !req
340. Hmm...Copy !req
341. Wait, I have an idea!Copy !req
342. It's not a palace,
but it is big.Copy !req
343. Come on.Copy !req
344. You want to use
the Crosswire Estate?Copy !req
345. The house and the yard are
about 16,000 square feet.Copy !req
346. Knock off ten percent
because you're friends,Copy !req
347. and I'll rent it for this.Copy !req
348. Ahh!Copy !req
349. How much do you
have on you?Copy !req
350. About a dollar.Copy !req
351. Then you can have your
party inside this square.Copy !req
352. I hope your guests
are small.Copy !req
353. That's okay, D.W.Copy !req
354. We'll find another place
to have the wedding.Copy !req
355. Wedding?Copy !req
356. You didn't say it was a wedding!Copy !req
357. Who's getting married?
Dee...Copy !req
358. Dee-angel-ee-nora... Woo.Copy !req
359. "Deeangeleenorawoo"?Copy !req
360. That's a mouthful.Copy !req
361. Is that the first name
or the last name?Copy !req
362. The first name is
Deeangeleenora,Copy !req
363. but everyone just calls her Dee.Copy !req
364. Dee Woo.Copy !req
365. And she wants it to be just like
that Big, Fancy Wedding show.Copy !req
366. (gasps)
Oh, I could do such a better jobCopy !req
367. than those tacky
wedding shows on TV.Copy !req
368. Girls, you've just hired Elwood
City's premier wedding planner.Copy !req
369. Come, step into my office.Copy !req
370. (whispering):
Why did you lie?Copy !req
371. (whispering):
I had to.Copy !req
372. If she knew it was my wedding,Copy !req
373. she'd tell Arthur and
he'd ruin everything.Copy !req
374. He lost the ring
at my cousin's wedding.Copy !req
375. This is going to be
the best party ever.Copy !req
376. Now, every good wedding
has a theme.Copy !req
377. What does Dee like?Copy !req
378. Unicorns!Copy !req
379. It should be a big
unicorn wedding.Copy !req
380. D.W.:
The Unicorn Queen
gets all dressed up.Copy !req
381. Then, a unicorn appears
and takes the brideCopy !req
382. and the bridesmaid away.Copy !req
383. There's cake and presents,
and music and rainbowsCopy !req
384. and everything Dee...
er, Woo, ever dreamed of.Copy !req
385. Hmm, a fantasy theme.Copy !req
386. I like it!Copy !req
387. But it sounds
like a big job.Copy !req
388. I'll need some assistance.Copy !req
389. Welcome to the go-go world of
professional wedding planners.Copy !req
390. Here, take this
so I can reach you.Copy !req
391. (into walkie-

392. Go!Copy !req
393. Over.Copy !req
394. I'm having a big party where
all my fantasies will come true.Copy !req
395. So, Timmy, you'll be
the guy in the suitCopy !req
396. that makes D.W. say,
"I do."Copy !req
397. Do you have a suit?Copy !req
398. No way!Copy !req
399. I didn't even wear a suitCopy !req
400. when Grandma took us to see
The Musical.Copy !req
401. You'll get to throw riceCopy !req
402. at all the wedding guests.Copy !req
403. Cool!Copy !req
404. Emily! D.W.! Come in!Copy !req
405. Over!Copy !req
406. I need to know who the groom is
for the invitations.Copy !req
407. Over.Copy !req
408. The what?Copy !req
409. The groom!Copy !req
410. Let me see,
how do I explain this?Copy !req
411. Who's the Unicorn Queen's
Unicorn King?Copy !req
412. Over.Copy !req
413. I totally forgot
about that part!Copy !req
414. Hmm...Copy !req
415. It should be someone who's good
at doing what I tell him.Copy !req
416. Eh. He'll do.Copy !req
417. (in walkie-
The groom is James...
uh, King James.Copy !req
418. Roger! Over and out!Copy !req
419. Not Roger, James.Copy !req
420. Um, right. Over.Copy !req
421. D.W.:
This is even better
than the TV show!Copy !req
422. You better believe it.Copy !req
423. And just look
at these invitations.Copy !req
424. "Please join us for this magical
celebration of unicorn royalty.Copy !req
425. Banquet and dancing
to follow."Copy !req
426. I still think
it's a bit hoi polloi.Copy !req
427. But it's not
what I want.Copy !req
428. If Dee's happy, I'm happy.Copy !req
429. Dee is very happy!Copy !req
430. Good, nothing but the bestCopy !req
431. to celebrate the lifelong
union of Dee and James.Copy !req
432. Say what now?Copy !req
433. Don't you know what it means
to get married?Copy !req
434. They're vowing to live togetherCopy !req
435. and love each other
forever and ever.Copy !req
436. It's so romantic!Copy !req
437. Romantic? Live together?Copy !req
