[Starting with this episode, scenes take
place before the opening
credits.]
[The episode opens on a red planet with a
green sky, where a horde of
cheering Piranhatrons have gathered
below a rocky bluff. The Pirate
Queen Divatox is standing above them,
accompanied by Rygog, her loyal
henchman, and Elgar, her mutant nephew.
An assortment of monsters can
also be seen on the platform. One of
them is a short, obese character
in a white and orange suit whose face
is protected by a transparent
glass plate. His suit is lined with
other portholes and linked with
breathing hoses.]
Divatox : Yes! Ye-es, yes; I -am- worth
-every- moment of this.
[The Piranhatrons continue to cheer as the
camera focuses on Divatox's
feet and pans up to her face. In the
background, a green, amphibious
monster with large red eyes can be
seen, wielding a large knife and
fork.]
Divatox : Silence!
[The Piranhatrons become silent(shown on two
separate shots).]
Divatox : Piranhatrons! Monsters! Faithful
followers!
[Elgar, standing nearby, is giving off smoke.
He is wielding his
playing-card sword.]
Elgar : [chuckles] Yeah!
[Rygog nudges Elgar. Below, the silent Piranhatrons
are listening
attentively. An unknown sea flows behind
them.]
Divatox : You -all- know the reason
we are here.
[The Piranhatrons raise their fists(some touching
their chests first)
and begin to get rowdy again. Divatox
makes an "enough!" motion with
her arms. Silence returns.]
Divatox : The ruination of my plan
to dominate the universe MUST BE
AVENGED!
[Divatox punctuates the last three words with
tightly clenched fists,
sparking off the Piranhatrons again.
The monsters on the bluff raise
their fists, caught up in the spirit
of the occasion, and as the
camera pulls away from the cliff several
of them can be described.]
[One is a green, hatted bug monster with a
box section on his chest.
Another is a round character wearing
a baseball uniform. Standing
between them is a third monster, hard
to see properly from this
distance. These monsters are all to
Divatox's right. To her left are
some others : a yellow-skinned monster
with a frilly neck and a top
hat, a two-legged tiger monster, and
the knife and fork monster seen
earlier.]
[After waving his sword above his head, Elgar
turns to address the
aforementioned porthole character.]
Elgar : Hey, Porto! [whacks him with
sword]
Porto : Huh?
Elgar : I haven't seen her -this-
mad since, ah well, [scratches head]
I don't -know- since when!
[Porto can now be seen more clearly. He has
a blue face and wears dark
glasses. His oversized lips are a coppery
colour and take up most of
the lower half of his face. Regular
teeth are visible in the center
of this mouth. His voice has a flustered,
somewhat nervous quality.]
Porto : Quiet, Elgar. I don't want
-you- getting -me- in trouble.
Elgar : [annoyed] Oh, just clam up
your trap, you-
Rygog : [interrupting] -Both- of you
be quiet! Huh! Blithering fools!
[Divatox makes another "enough!" gesture and
addresses her captive
audience once more.]
Divatox : [forcefully] Yes! The Power
Rangers -will- pay dearly! THEIR
BELOVED EARTH WILL BECOME MIIINE! Are you -with- me?
[Divatox raises her fist to the sky. Elgar
holds his sword aloft. The
Piranhatrons pledge their allegiance
by touching their hands across
their chests and raising their fists.
Divatox watches over them,
laughing humourlessly. An angry growl
emanates from her throat.]
[Opening credits.]
[Focus on an "Angel Grove High Senior Class
Graduation" sign. The shot
then changes to reveal Tanya and Kat
walking through a public garden
area, carrying decorations for the
upcoming ceremony. Kat is holding
a circular Angel Grove High School
banner, featuring the image of a
tiger. Tanya has some flowers.]
Tanya : I think the Botanical Gardens
was an -excellent- choice to
hold our Graduation Ceremony.
Kat : Yeah, me too. I just
wish Tommy could be here.
Tanya : I know, Kat, but...working
on his uncle's stockcar crew was
something he just couldn't pass up.
[Tanya and Kat have reached Adam. Adam takes
some folded chairs from
a stack and begins to walk alongside
the two girls.]
Kat : [softly] Yeah...
Adam : Yeah and besides, he's already
picked up his diploma. [smiles]
[The three of them walk past a sign which
reads "Terrace Room".]
Kat : [after a moment's thought]
Yeah, you're right. It is a great
experience and I -am- happy for him.
Tanya : [smiling] Good.
[Cross to a race-track where with a squeal
of tyres, a white stock car
comes roaring into action. Six successive
shots follow, depicting the
car's progress along various stages
of the track. The sixth shot pans
across the left side of the car, revealing
various sponsor logos. The
motion makes them difficult to decipher
but one contains the words
"Beach Cafe", possibly preceded by
"Ernie's". The car's number(87)
is also revealed during the last two
shots.]
[The car passes two men, one of whom is wearing
a radio headset. He
consults a stop-watch and addresses
his companion.]
Man #1 : What'd I tell you, that guy
got potential or what?
Man #2 : Are you telling me he's only
been in that car a -month-?
Man #1 : [nods] That's what I'm telling
you.
[Tommy is now shown behind the wheel, obviously
engrossed in the whole
experience.]
Tommy : [softly] Yeah...
[Tommy shifts gears and continues his circuit.
Another travelling shot
is shown, followed by one of Tommy,
another car-shot, Tommy shifting
gears and accelerating, a wheel turning(during
which time a KAGV logo
can be seen), and yet another shot
of the car.]
[Cross back to Tommy behind the wheel. Man
#1 sends him a message.]
Man #1's voice : Tommy, your back-end
looked like it was coming a
little loose on Turn 3; try backing off a little.
Tommy : [responding] You got it, Jeff.
[Tommy checks his gauges(Tommy : {softly}
Man!), and takes the next
turn. As he drives off, the scene switches
back to Divatox's planet.
Her minions are starting to become
restless again.]
Divatox : [motioning for silence] Quiet!
[The noise ceases.]
Divatox : For the journey to Earth...I
will need a -crew-...of my BEST
warriors!
[The Piranhatrons stand motionless, giving
their full attention. Elgar
instantly starts clamouring for recognition.]
Elgar : Oh! Oh! Me-me-me! Aunty
Divatox, pick me!
Divatox : [completely ignoring him]
Rygog!
Rygog : Ahr, -yes-, my lieeeegge?
Divatox : You will be second in command.
You will navigate the oceans
as well as the skies!
Rygog : Whatever you need,
Divatox; I'm -always- at your disposal!
Divatox : You will select an -elite-
batallion of soldiers to -bring-
with us.
Rygog : As you wish. Huhh...
Divatox : [turns aside] Porto.
Porto : [dutifully] I am here.
Divatox : You will be my technical
adviser. All things scientific will
be your responsibility.
Porto : [proudly] It will be
my distinct pleasure. [slight bow] My
knowledge and expertise are at your command.
Elgar : [still waving frantically]
Hey, what about me? Aunty
Divatox, what about meeee?
Divatox : [fed up] All right! [rolling
eyes] ...-Elgar-...
Elgar : [chuckles] All right!
[steps forward] Yeah!
[Smoke is still billowing from Elgar's body.]
Divatox : [in pained tones] What is
that horrible -smell-?
Elgar : You threw me into the
Pit of Eternal Fire, remember?
[smacks forehead] Sheesh! I'm still a little crispy!
Divatox : [scoffs] Whatever... You're
coming too, I don't want to
leave you out of my sight for -too- long.
Elgar : [thrilled] Yee-es!!
HAHA! OHOH!
[Annoyed, Divatox shoves her over-excited
nephew. Porto murmurs, Rygog
laughs, and Divatox begins to address
the masses once more.]
Divatox : Piranhatrons, I will call
you as I need you. [forcefully]
-Now-, FUEL THE SUBCRAFT; DESTINATION EAARRRRRTTHHH!!!
[The Piranhatrons cheer again.]
[Back in the Botanical Gardens, Kat sticks
the banner she was holding
onto the ceremony podium.]
Kat : Perfect. Hey Rocky, how's the
programs coming along?
[Kat turns back and takes a seat next to Rocky,
who is sitting by a
box of unfolded programs. Adam sets
up a couple of chairs nearby and
sits down on one of them. Tanya checks
on the flowers and wanders
over to join her friends during the
course of their conversation.]
Rocky : Well...I just have this box
to do right here. [lifts box] I
wish there was more I could do to help, but, my back's sorta
still sore.
[Adam takes a program sheet out of the box.
Kat pats Rocky on the back
and starts folding a sheet of her own.]
Adam : Hey man, we're just glad
you're okay. That was a pretty nasty
fall you took.
Rocky : [nods] Hm... [changes subject]
So, are you, ah, guys gonna
finish telling me the story or, what?
Adam : I think we should wait
for Justin. I'm sure he doesn't want to
miss telling you about his first experience as a Ranger.
Tanya : Where is he anyway?
Adam : Well, he had to take
a placement test. They've got to figure
out what grade he fits in for his new school.
Kat : Poor Justin. He's probably
fallen behind the other kids,
moving around so much.
[Fade over to Justin working on his test in
the resource room at Angel
Grove High School. A wall clock places
the time at around 9:08. Ms
Appleby supervises Justin from her
desk, smiling slightly. Justin
puts down his pencil and brings out
his test paper.]
Ms Appleby : Is everything all right,
Justin?
Justin : [handing
test over] I'm finished. Can I go now?
Ms Appleby : [surprised] Well, you
still have over an hour left. Would
you like to check your answers?
Justin : I'm pretty
sure they're okay.
Ms Appleby : [taken aback] Well...if
you feel you've done your best.
Justin : [smiling]
Thanks. Have a nice day. [leaves]
[Ms Appleby begins comparing Justin's answers
with the official ones.
Her eyes widen.]
[Cross now to an underwater shot of Divatox's
Subcraft.]
Divatox's voice : All right, Porto...let's
-do- it!
[The Subcraft transforms into a blip and soars
out of the ocean, into
the sky. Shortly afterwards, Divatox
and Elgar enter the control room
through a circular sliding door(which
opens like a lift). Rygog is
already there along with a couple of
Piranhatrons, and it will soon
be revealed that Porto is also present.]
[Divatox begins her tour of inspection with
Elgar tagging along
behind.]
Divatox : [impressed] Magnificent.
Elgar : Yeah! [chuckles]
Divatox : [to Rygog] Check the thrusters.
Rygog : Aye-aye, Captain. [turns
to do so]
Divatox : [to Porto] Man the boosters.
Porto : [dutifully] Right away.
[moves away]
Elgar : [to Porto] Yeah, what
-she- said.
[Divatox reaches the Subcraft's periscope,
takes a quick look through
it, and moves her head away from the
eyepiece.]
Divatox : [intense] Yes! Faster, Elgar!
-Faster-!
Elgar : You got it, Aunty D!
Ah-harh!
[Elgar turns towards a control panel and works
the instruments. The
green Subcraft blip zooms down towards
Earth.]
[Cross now to an uncertain looking Skull standing
outside somewhere,
wearing his Junior Police Patrol uniform.
The camera stays close,
concealing the exact nature of his
surroundings, but a "No Parking"
sign can be seen in the background.]
Skull
: Uh, Bulky? Ah, are you sure we got the right place?
[Skull walks past a similarly attired Bulk,
who has a ticket-book in
his left hand. Bulk paces as he speaks,
showing their location to be
Angel Grove Lake.]
Bulk : [forcefully] Lt Stone
said, that the only way we're gonna get
back on the force -permanently-, is if we put parking tickets
on -fifty- cars by the end of the day! [holds up ticket-book]
Skull : Ah...I'm not a smart man but,
ah, aren't we forgetting
something?
Bulk : Like what?
Skull : Like, ah...
[A sudden distant shot clears up the mystery;
there isn't a vehicle in
sight.]
Skull : CARS!
Bulk : [musing] Well, there
is that...
[Back in the Botanical Gardens, an excited
Justin rides his bike up
to Adam, Kat, Tanya and Rocky.]
Justin : Guys! Guys! What'd I miss?
Did you tell him about the
Putrapods yet?
[Justin gets off his bike, still yammering
away.]
Justin : Our backs were up against
the wall and I threw a front kick
[demonstrates] and a side kick! [demonstrates again]
[There is some good-natured laughter at his
youthful exuberance.]
Tanya : [amused] No, no, we actually
did not -do- that yet.
[The five of them begin walking together,
Adam wheeling Justin's
bike.]
Justin : Cool. I thought I'd missed
it. Did you tell him about Divatox
yet?
Kat : Not yet.
Justin : Man; what a witch.
[Elsewhere, the Subcraft blip reverts to solid
form.]
[Cross now to Lt Stone(also in police uniform),
who has driven out to
Angel Grove Lake to speak to Bulk and
Skull. His back is to the water
as he addresses them.]
Lt Stone : Gentlemen, today is your
lucky day.
[Behind him the Subcraft flies into view above
the lake. Bulk and
Skull exchange stunned looks. Lt Stone
continues unaware.]
Lt Stone : Since Captain Crandall decided
to give me one final chance,
I've decided to give -you two-...one final chance.
[Bulk makes an incoherent sound of fear. Skull
pinches himself on the
bridge of his nose. Both officers point
towards the lake.]
Bulk : Sir, I think there's something
you should see!
[The Subcraft descends towards the surface
of the lake.]
Lt Stone : Not -now-, Bulkmeier.
Skull : [tense] Yeah,
but sir, I really think you oughta have a
look-see at this!
[Lt Stone grabs Bulk and Skull by their shirt
collars and yanks them
towards him.]
Lt Stone : [angrily] Do you ever want
to redeem yourselves?
[The Subcraft makes contact with the lake...]
Lt Stone : Or do you want to stay here
giving tickets to imaginary
cars? Now LISTEN UP! You gotta report to the Angel Grove
Energy Center. The private security company was let go, and
they want -us- to pick up the ball.
[The Subcraft dives into the lake. Lt Stone
remains oblivious to the
whole thing despite Skull's attempt
to point it out.]
Lt Stone : This is your last chance,
gentlemen. Don't -blow- it.
[The Subcraft finishes submerging just as
Lt Stone turns to get back
into his car. Bulk and Skull make a
last ditch effort at pointing it
out but, sensing the futility, turn
it into a salute instead. Skull
does so by bringing his pointing finger
up over his left eye. He
pulls it away with some effort.]
[Bulk and Skull watch Lt Stone drive away
and then warily approach the
water's edge. The surface of the lake
is tranquil again; there is no
sign of anything out of the ordinary.
Skull absently hitches the cord
of his police radio up to his shoulder,
where it stays for about half
a second before slipping off.]
Skull : [wretchedly] Huh? Bulky, what
are we gonna do?
Bulk : I tell you what; we're
gonna get ourselves over to that
power plant, and we are gonna keep our mouths shut!
[Skull nods in agreement.]
Bulk : Let's go!
[Bulk leaves. Skull points in the same direction
and follows.]
[Cross to a shot of the Subcraft in its new
home under the lake. Down
in the control room, Elgar is hauling
on a chain which is attached to
Porto's body. Porto is tilted back
towards a pair of Piranhatrons who
shove him forward, allowing him to regain
his footing. Divatox
approaches, sounding rather fed up.]
Divatox : All right, all right, all
right! Porto, get back to work.
[makes a dismissive hand gesture]
Porto : Yes, Captain. [turns
away]
[Divatox moves over to the periscope.]
Divatox : [hand on chest] They ruined
the most important ceremony of
my life. [smiling] Now, I'm going to ruin the most important
ceremony of -theirs-. [mockingly] Oh, I wouldn't bother with
those college applications, Rangers.
[chuckles and looks through eye-piece]
[Cross back to the four Turbo Rangers and
Rocky, still walking through
the Botanical Gardens. Justin's bike
is nowhere in sight, probably
stashed somewhere along the way.]
Kat : [to Rocky] I mean it was
absolutely amazing, really.
Tanya : Yeah Rocky, you will not -believe-
all the stuff that happened
to us. It was incredible.
Kat : Yeah.
[A series of clips from "Turbo: A Power Rangers
Movie" follows. Note -
my memory on some of these could be
a little sketchy, based as it is
upon a single cinema viewing in 1998.]

[During the course of this story the five
of them have arrived back at
the stage. Rocky adjusts the podium
microphone.]
Rocky : Wow, that's incredible. [smile]
But, what happened to Divatox?
Adam : I don't know. I guess
she went back to wherever she came from.
Rocky : [hopefully] Great!
[The five of them sit down on the stage steps.]
Justin : I still can't believe you
don't want your powers back, Rocky.
It's so cool being a Ranger.
Rocky : Yeah, but...y'know,
I got a lot of stuff to do with my Karate
School and..I don't know, [puts arm round Justin's shoulders]
I think the Power's in good hands.
Adam : Right, Rock, but remember,
you'll always be a Power Ranger in
spirit.
Rocky : [thoughtfully] Hm...that's
nice.
[removes arm from Justin's shoulders]
[Adam's communicator sounds. He quickly answers
it.]
Adam : [seriously, to communicator] This is Adam.
Alpha's voice : [via communicator]
Rangers! Come to the Power Chamber.
Zordon needs you right away! Heh-eh!
[Adam looks a little confused by this last
bit.]
Tanya : [smiling] Was he laughing?
Kat : I...think we'd better
get over there and see what's going on.
[The Turbo Rangers stand up, bidding farewell
to Rocky.]
Adam : All right.
Rocky : See you.
Kat : See you soon.
Tanya : See you later.
Rocky : All right.
Justin : Thanks for everything, Rocky.
Rocky : Good luck!
[Over in the Subcraft, Divatox is inspecting
some kind of explosive
device.]
Porto : It's ready, Captain.
Divatox : [amused] All right, you
walking marshmellow; what have you
got?
Porto : As we discussed, when
activated the detonator will achieve
maximum implosive power, in sixty minutes.
Rygog : But will it be enough
to destroy the Earth's energy
facility?
Porto : Oh yes, and then some.
Divatox : [mock regret] The blackout
will shut down the -entire- city,
right when the Rangers are having their Graduation Ceremony.
[The villains laugh.]
[Switch to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber.
Inside, Kat, Adam,
Tanya and Justin are all standing around
Alpha. Alpha is wearing a
pink chef's costume and carrying a
cake topped with Power Ranger
figures.]
Alpha : [proudly] And I made it all
by myself.
Tanya : It's -beautiful-, Alpha.
Alpha : [flattered] Ohh...
[Zordon now begins to speak. As he does so,
Adam, Kat and Tanya step
aside; this message is intended for
them.]
Zordon : Rangers; I've been proud of
you for -many- things, but never
as proud as I am at this moment.
Alpha : Ai-yi-yi, Rangers; I'm
so happy, I could cry!
Justin : Don't worry, Alpha. It'll
be okay.
[Justin puts his arm around Alpha's shoulders.
Adam, Kat and Tanya
smile.]
Adam : All right, ah, we'd better get
going before we miss it.
[Alpha puts the cake down. Justin looks at
it with intent.]
Kat : [nervously] Ohh,
I hope I remember my speech.
Tanya : [reassuringly] Oh, you'll
be great. Are you coming, Justin?
Justin : I'll be there. Alpha promised
he'd teach me about the
communications systems.
Alpha : [taps Justin's arm]
That's right, Justin!
Tanya : Don't be late, okay?
[Tanya chuckles and teleports away, along
with Adam and Kat. Justin
tries to touch the cake.]
Alpha : [scolding] Uh-uh-uh! Now listen
here, young man. No tasting.
Got it?
[Justin smiles.]
[Over at the Angel Grove Energy Center, Bulk
and Skull have arrived
for their security assignment. Neither
of them appear too thrilled
by the apparently total lack of activity.]
Skull : [irritably] Oh yeah, Bulky.
This is a -whole- lot more
exciting than doing parking tickets.
Bulk : [dryly] I sure hope we
can handle all this action.
[Skull's next contribution is a raspberry,
after which the pair wander
off. Moments later a large porthole
flies in and deposits Porto onto
the ground via a blue burst of energy.
Elgar appears beside him from
a ripple of displaced air, his body
outlined with golden energy. Both
of them begin walking, Elgar holding
the detonator and Porto carrying
another device.]
Porto : Now remember, Elgar, you must
place the detonator in the
exact centre of the power plant's infrastructure in order
to cause the maximum damage.
Elgar : [bored] Yeah, yeah, whatever.
Come on! [starts walking away]
Porto : And one more thing.
[Elgar stops and turns back.]
Porto : Take this Changer-Laser in
case anyone gives you any trouble.
Elgar : [exaggerated] Why, thank you!
[Elgar snatches the device(now identified
as a Changer-Laser).]
Elgar : Good idea! [taps Porto with
Changer-Laser and walks away]
Hmph. Yeah, I won't need it, though...
Porto : [infuriated] D'oh, one of
these days I'm gonna-
[Elsewhere in the plant, Elgar chuckles and
comes to a halt.]
Elgar : Hey, fellas! I got a little
-proposition- for ya!
[Elgar has stumbled across Bulk and Skull.
They recoil in shock.]
Bulk : [tense] Don't worry, Skull;
stay calm!
[Skull looks rather dubious.]
Bulk : [quick panicked gasps]
I have a plan.
Elgar : Okay, here it is. Either you
step aside, or I -blast- ya!
[holds up Changer-Laser]
[Bulk and Skull undergo twin panic attacks.]
Bulk : Me-me? [starts pointing
frantically at Skull]
Skull : [pointing at Bulk just as
frantically] Yeah, yeah him! Yeah
him! Yeah him! Ohh yeah, yeah!
[Laughing crazily, Bulk moves Skull's finger
so that it is pointing
back at its owner. Skull takes a moment
to realise what has happened,
and then...]
Skull : [horrified] NOOO!!!! Him!
Elgar : [wearily] Ohh, -brother-...
[Bulk's expression suddenly clears.]
Bulk : [calm] Hey!
Remember the last class we took at the Academy?
Skull : [with quiet dignity]
Yeah...
Together : [boldly] Let's do it!!!
[they clench fists]
Elgar : [sarcastically]
-This- oughta be good.
[Bulk and Skull whip out their police batons
and perform a series of
maneouvres. Elgar just stands there
watching them. They finish in a
defensive stance, batons held ready
to strike.]
Bulk : [to Elgar] -Now- what
do you say?!? Heh-ha!
Skull : [keyed up chuckle] Yeah?
Elgar : I say, "you lose"!
[Elgar zaps Bulk and Skull with blue energy
from the Changer-Laser,
causing them to howl and drop their
batons. Elgar laughs wickedly
and continues to concentrate the weapon
upon them. All of a sudden
two human arms morph into hairy, simian
ones.]
Skull's voice : That kinda tickles
me a little bit! Bulky! Bulky!
[Bulk howls as his head and upper body(and
probably the rest of his
person by default) transform into those
of a chimpanzee. Moments
later, Skull suffers the same fate.]
Elgar : [impressed] Whoaa!
[The Bulk chimp is staring blankly; the Skull
chimp, considerably
smaller, is scratching his head in
confusion. Both are wearing just
their police shirts, now dramatically
over-sized.]
Elgar : [chuckles] Oh, this thing's
kinda cool! See ya! Huh-hah!
[Elgar walks off, leaving the chimps to their
own devices. The Skull
chimp chatters a bit and the Bulk chimp
pulls at his shirt. Before
long, Elgar reaches what is presumably
the centre of the power
plant.]
Elgar : Oh...kay now. [sets down Changer-Laser]
Here we go!
[chuckles and sets detonator] Perfect. Hm-hm!
[flicks switch] Contact!
[The detonator timer, starting at a quite
unusual 59:60, counts down
to 59:57. Its display screen is a dark
red, with bright red numbers.]
Elgar : Well, that does it! Sixty minutes
and it's the beginning of
the end. Yes! [laughs and picks up Changer-Laser] Now, uh...
-how- do I get outta here? Hm.
[Elgar wanders off as the timer counts down
from 59:50 to 59:46.]
Note - $even goes to the break at 59:47, chopping
off the last second.
[Switch to an establishing shot of the Energy
Center. Inside, the two
chimpanzees are trying to piece together
what has just has happened
to them. Curiously, their voices still
sound human.]
Bulk chimp : So are we alive
or what, Skull?
Skull chimp : Think so...[amused]
No offence, Bulky, but you look
pretty funny!
Bulk chimp : Ah-ha, you should
see yourself there, pally!
Aw-haw-haw-ah-ah!
Skull chimp : That alien's ray-gun
must have done this to us.
Bulk chimp : [urgently] Oh,
the alien! We gotta call for backup!
[The Bulk chimp shucks off his shirt and picks
up the police radio.]
Bulk chimp : [to radio] Testing! [blows
raspberry] Mayday! Mayday!
[Cross over to two officers sitting in a stationary
police car. They
hear nothing but distraught chimp cries
coming over the air-waves.]
Officer #1 : Hey, Bob. What do you
make of this?
Officer #2 : Just some kids messing
around.
[Officer #1 nods.]
Bob : Turn that thing off. Nothing
ever happens on this shift anyway.
[Officer #1 turns off the radio scanner.]
[Cross to an exterior shot of the Power Chamber.
An amplified version
of the chimp broadcast is being received
inside, confusing Justin
and Alpha.]
Justin : What's that sound? And where's
it coming from?
Alpha : Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi! [checks
control panel] The transmission is
coming from the city's main energy facility. I've never seen
anything like it!
Justin : Zordon, why don't I go check
it out on my way to the
Graduation Ceremony?
Zordon : Very well, Justin, but be
careful.
Justin : Right. [teleports out]
Alpha : Oh, ai-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!
[Justin arrives at the power plant and begins
to look around. All of a
sudden the two chimps wander into view,
catching his attention. The
Bulk chimp is riding on the back of
the Skull chimp.]
Justin : Huh?
[He approaches the chattering chimpanzees
for a closer look. By the
time he reaches them, they have separated.]
Justin : What are these two monkeys
doing out here by themselves?
[to chimps] Are you trying to tell me something?
[Elgar wanders in nearby, still lost, and
unaware of Justin.]
Elgar : Hmm...maybe I should've turned
-left- back there...
[Upon hearing Elgar's voice, Justin gasps
and turns in that direction.
Fortunately, Elgar's back is turned.]
Justin : Elgar. [turns back to chimps]
I -thought- the monkeys were
trying to tell me something. Come on. [moves away]
Elgar : Or maybe it was right...
[Justin leads the chimps to cover and begins
spying on Elgar.]
Justin : You
two monkeys stay right here.
Skull chimp : Did you hear that, Bulky?
He called us -monkeys-!
[Justin warily watches Elgar, whose back is
still turned.]
Elgar : You can -never- find a gas
station when you really need one.
[frustrated growl]
[The chimpanzees choose this inopportune moment
to continue talking,
resulting in a series of loud chattering
sounds that are apparently
meaningless to anyone but themselves.]
Justin : [whispering]
Shhh! Quiet! Shh!
Bulk chimp : That explains why
I've been dying to eat a bunch of
bananas!
Skull chimp : Ya got any? I mean,
we should be worried about this.
Bulk chimp : The only thing
we should be worried about is not finding
bananas!
Justin :
Shh!
Bulk chimp : [desperately] Let's
go to Ernie's!
Skull chimp : Right behind ya, Bulky.
[The chimps run off.]
Justin : Come -back- here! [breaks
cover to follow them]
Elgar : [suspiciously] Who's
there?
[He turns around and finally notices Justin.]
Elgar : Huhh!!!
Justin : Uh-oh.
Elgar : Ah-HA!!!
[Elgar's Changer-Laser is replaced by his
playing-card sword.]
Elgar : [chuckles] Time for the
cards to cut -you-! Huhhh!
[approaches, beckoning menacingly] Come here!
Justin : [standing his ground] Hey,
Elgar. Remember me?
Elgar : [advancing] Yeahh! Didn't
you used to be BIGGER?
Justin : [also advancing] I can still
take care of myself.
[CENSORSHIP ALERT - CHANNEL $EVEN, AUSTRALIA.]
$even recycles the "Elgar advancing" footage
from a moment ago, dubs
"We'll see!" over it, and skips to Justin
in battle stance at the end
of the episode. Other versions continue as
follows...
[Justin deftly dodges behind Elgar(Elgar :
We'll see!) and deals him
a series of three swift kicks. Before
the stunned mutant has time to
react, Justin has landed two further
kicks upon him, this time from
the front, knocking him back against
a post. Elgar swings at Justin,
who brings his hands up to block, and
forces him around against the
post.]
Elgar : Why, you little pipsqueak,
what do you think you're doing?
Justin : -This-! [kicks Elgar away]
[END OF CENSORED SECTION.]
[Justin enters battle stance, ready to continue
the fight. Elgar can
be heard growling off-screen.]
[TO BE CONTINUED.]
