               TIMMY sleeps. The CLOCK ticks, then wakes him with a low, bored
               beep. A bored COSMO AND WANDA awaken in their fishbowl. Timmy
               hits the clock and stops the beep.

               Timmy enters. A bored MOM is cooking, a bored Dad sits reading the
               NEWSPAPER. Dad flips the pages.

               Timmy and Dad boringly pick up their spoons, then lower them to a
               bowl that’s not there yet. Mom slips BOWLS OF OATMEAL in place -
               perfect, practiced timing.

               Timmy - still watching the movie - sits goggle-eyed on the couch. His
               parents sit right next to him, terrified. Wanda and Cosmo are disguised
               as REMOTE CONTROLS.
                                               14           WANDA

               Timmy shoulder rolls across the floor, pretending to dodge some sort of
               enemy attack.
                                               17          COSMO

                                    bad impression that movie made on Timmy!
               Timmy, in PJ’s, jumps onto his bed, holding a SOLDIER ACTION FIGURE.
               He rips it’s head off and throws it like a grenade.

               The trap door shuts. Timmy drops. A GIANT BOULDER rolls towards
               him. He flips out of the way as it rolls over his bed, through the wall
               and OS.

               Timmy looks at the Godparents, who are in their fishbowl. They pop
               out, wearing Tuxedos.
                                                26         TIMMY

Timmy’s ready to race out. Cosmo and Wanda fly in and block him.

               Wanda waves her wand. POOF! Timmy wears a dirty T-SHIRT and
               grimy Cargo PANTS like Ryan McCain in Loose Cannon --Timmy looks in
               the mirror.

               Timmy back-flips to the floor. He takes one step and stops. A WALL OF
               FLAMES shoots up in front of him, then settles. He continues walking.
               THE FLAMES shoot up behind him. Timmy sits and speaks into his

               Timmy leaps to his feet, and hits his BELT BUCKLE. A JET PACK pops

               Jorgen raises his wand and fires at Timmy. BOOM! Timmy dodges the
               blast, but Kibbles is turned into a WHITE TIGER.
                                                104 TIMMY
                                    He’s too powerful! All I have left is this wrist
                                    thingie Cosmo and Wanda gave me, but it’s all
                                    out of magic, and Cosmo and Wanda don’t
                                    have any left!
               BOOM! Timmy dives. The blast turns the tank and sharks into pile of
               FLOWERS.
                                                 105 TIMMY
                                    But Jorgen does! And I can use his!
                                         (to Jorgen)
                                    Come on! Is that the best you can do?
                                                106           JORGEN
                                    I can do better!

               Timmy hits the button on his communicator and the little “suck up the
               magic funnel” pops out. He raises it in front of him like a shield.
                                                        111   JORGEN

               BOOM! A “beam” of magic blasts from the wand and plows into the
               funnel.
                                                112 JORGEN
                                    Hey... what... what are you doing?
                                               113          TIMMY
                                    Ha! Sucker!
               Timmy hits more buttons on the wrist thing and the magic starts to
               pour out of Jorgen. He begins to shrink in size.
                                               114 JORGEN
                                    No! Stop! You are taking all my magic!
                                                115 TIMMY
                                    It was never yours in the first place!
                                             116 JORGEN
                                    NO! NO! NOOOO!!!

                                    Huh?
                                                 118 TIMMY
                                    It’s got too much magic in it! It’s gonna blow!
               Timmy hits a button on his belt. His Jetpack pops out. He swiftly ties
               the communicator to the jet pack and launches it through the roof.

               A BEAM OF MAGIC hits the fairies. They fill up like balloons, to normal
               size.

A beam of magic hits Cosmo and Wanda, turning THEM back to normal!

               Timmy hangs his head. In the BG, a little magic falls on Jorgen,
               reviving him.
                                                126 TIMMY
                                    I’m so sorry my selfish wish almost ruined
                                    everything. Can you forgive me?
                                               127 WANDA
                                    Already done, Timmy. We love you!
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

                                    So, Timmy, got any other wishes?
               JORGEN ROARS into frame again, this time a little more dazed. Wanda
               smacks him OS with a karate move.
                                                 130 TIMMY
                                    I sure do! I wish the world was back to it’s
                                    normal, boring, safe self!
               JORGEN achingly moves into frame again. Timmy flips him OS. Jorgen
               explodes in the distance.

               Timmy grabs the Cosmo and Wanda clickers and turns the TV off. Dad
               peeks up over the couch.
