| "HELP!" This transcript needs to be finished! |
| Opening on an aerial view of Casper High. Pan and zoom to the football field. | |
| Cheerleaders | Casper's cool and you're a dud. We will drag you through the mud. Casper's cool and you're a dud. We will drag you through the mud. Casper's cool and you're a dud. We will drag you through the mud. |
| Red-eyed Paulina | You can say that again. |
| Red-eyed Paulina kicks the cheerleader at the bottom of the pyramid, causing all of them to fall down. They glare angrily at her. Red-eyed Paulina runs offscreen. Immediately after, Paulina enters the frame from the other side. | |
| Paulina | Casper's cool and you're a dud. We will drag you through the—oh come on guys. You're getting too real. |
| The cheerleaders look angry. Cut to outside the Foley house. | |
| Mrs. Foley | Tucker! Dinner time! |
| Cut to inside, at the dining room table. | |
| Tucker | Ah. Mother's meatloaf. Its warm embrace beckons me. |
| Red-eyed Mr. Foley | Honey I'm home. |
| He walks in and drops his bag. Mrs. Foley leans in for a kiss and he blows a raspberry in her face instead. | |
| Mrs. Foley | Ugh. Oh Maurice. What in the world? |
| He laughs and takes a huge bite out of the meatloaf. | |
| Red-eyed Mr. Foley | Sorry, I just love your cooking…on your head! |
| He laughs and jumps out the window. Mr. Foley walks through the door. | |
| Mr. Foley | Hi honey I'm h—(Mrs. Foley slams the empty tray into his face)Did I miss meatloaf? |
| Cut to the park. | |
| Dash | Go get it Pookie! |
| Dash throws a Frisbee and Pookie chases after it. Red-eyed Pookie comes back from the other direction. A policeman walks up. | |
| Policeman | You do realize your dog is supposed to be on a leash at all times. |
| Dash | Aw sorry officer but Pookie here is so sweet he wouldn't hurt a fly. |
| Red-eyed Pookie looks up at the policeman, tail wagging. The policeman smiles and bends down to pet the dog. | |
| Policeman | Heh. I guess he is kinda cute. (chuckles) |
| Red-eyed Pookie growls and opens his jaw to bite the officer, who runs away just in time. Red-eyed Pookie growls and chases after him. Dash stares in shock as Pookie comes back from the other side carrying the Frisbee. | |
| Dash | You are totally the most badest dog ever, Pookie. Tonight I'm watching the romance channel by myself. |
| Pookie looks sad and drops the Frisbee. Outside the park Red-eyed Pookie, still growling, slides to a stop. He transforms into a tall humanoid ghost with no face. He watches as the cheerleaders chase after Paulina and Mrs. Foley and Tucker chase after Mr. Foley. | |
| Amorpho | (chuckles) Ah. Another day, another town turned completely upside down. |
| Theme song | |
| Open on a schoolbus driving on a Cliffside road. A black cat with red eyes walks in the middle of the road and does not move, causing the bus to swerve off the cliff. Before it can fall into the water Danny Phantom catches it and lifts it back onto the road. | |
| Danny | Okay gang I know this bus is dirty but there are easier ways to wash it. |
| Kids | Yay! Danny Phantom! |
| Danny | There ya go. Wouldn't want you to miss one day of happy therapy inducing school memories. |
| Bus driver | You're a hero Danny Phantom. |
| Bus drives off. | |
| Danny | Huh. Hero. Now for the cat. Oh. Probably got scared and ran home. And speaking of home. |
| cat!Amorpho | Hmmmm. That got a tad out of hand. All I wanted to do was frighten them. Get a laugh or two. (Transforms into his normal body.) I suppose its fortunate that nauseating goody goody was here. I may have no face of my own but I'm seen everywhere. My pranks are the talk of the town. Good news travels fast. Too fast! How dare that fuzzy wuzzy steal my headline. Fine. (Transforms into Danny) He wants a contest, he's got one. |
| Jack | Oh would you look at this nonsense. "Danny Phantom saves kids." |
| Maddie | That's the fifth "heroic" act this week. |
| Jazz | At least that we know about. |
| Jack | He keeps this up he's liable to make people forget he's nothing but a putrid rancid ball of self-aware protoplasm. |
| Jazz | Rancid protoplasm or not I think it's great that he saved those kids. |
| Jazz puts the newspaper article clipping into her scrapbook. | |
| Maddie | Don't be fooled sweetie. He's up to something. Remember that time he attacked the mayor? Or stole everyone's Christmas presents? Once a filthy ghost always a filthy ghost. |
| Jack | Not anymore. Once this baby is perfected it'll prevent any ghost from using its powers. I call it the ecto-stoppo-power-o-fier. Am I a genius or what? |
| Jazz | Only if you can spell that. I for one think it's nice to have an actual hero in this town. |
| Jack | Yeah well if you ask me he's being pretty egotiscical. Hey! The Jack Fenton toast is ready. Maddie, fetch me some Jack Fenton butter would ya? The Jack Fenton flavor, it's my favorite. |
| Danny | I'm now officially nauseous. |
| Jack | Really? Try some FentoBismol. |
| Danny grabs the second piece of toast and leaves the lab. | |
| Jazz | Danny don't pay any attention to dad. I think what you're doing is great. |
| Danny | Thanks Jazz. Sometimes I wonder if the best kind of attention is no attention at all. |
| Danny leaves the house and transforms into Danny Phantom before flying away. Amorpho is watching from behind a building. | |
| Danny!Amorpho | What? He can alter his appearance, too? That's my thing! He's stealing my thing! Fine. He steals my glory (Amorpho turns into Danny Fenton) I steal his. |
| Danny | Well maybe a few news stories aren't such a bad thing. As long as I'm able maintain a low profile. |
| Danny flies straight into a news copter. | |
| Man in helicopter | Dude you're Danny Phantom. Can you sign my chest. It's for my kid. |
| Danny | Uh, ew. |
| Danny flies down to the sidewalk and starts walking. Students are waiting by a bus stop and turn to see him walking towards them. | |
| Paulina | Hey it's the ghost boy! He's cute. |
| Dash | Pookie will be so excited. |
| The students run towards Danny. | |
| Danny | I…uh…eat all your vegetables. |
| Danny flies off, ending up in front of another crowd ready to swarm him. | |
| Danny | (backing up) Woah, uh, sorry I can't stay. Uh…wash your hands after using the restroom. |
| Danny runs off, only to find fans at every turn. Flying away from the buildings he is chased by 3 news copters. | |
| Danny | So much for staying in the shadows. Hey that's it. |
| Danny turns invisible and flies down to an alley. He watches invisibly as the crowd and helicopters chase after Danny Phantom. He transforms into Danny Fenton and walks out onto the sidewalk. | |
| Danny | At least this way I'll be totally-- |
| Danny bumps into Dash and falls over. | |
| Dash | Watch it Fenturtaiment Tonight. I'm chasing a real somebody, and you're a total nobody. |
| Danny | …unnoticeable. |
| Danny looks up and sees FentonWorks. | |
| Danny | Back to square one. |
| Danny stands up and dusts himself off. Before he can go anywhere his ghost sense goes off. He turns to see Danny!Amorpho going into FentonWorks. | |
| Danny | Hey that’s…me? I'm going ghost! |
| Danny flies into FentonWorks, ready to fight the imposter. | |
| Danny | Where'd I…he…it go! |
| Danny turns around and sees his reflection in a mirror. He bumps into it. | |
| Danny | Duh |
| Jazz | Danny? What are you doing here? I thought you left for school already. |
| Danny!Amorpho | Ahhh I…did. But I just had to come back and see…umm…that awesome scrapbook. May I? Ooh so much work. Must've taken you a long time. |
| Jazz | You bet. I'd hate to have to do it all over again. |
| Danny!Amorpho tears the scrapbook in half. | |
| Jazz | Danny! My scrapbook. W-What are you doing? |
| Danny!Amorpho | Scrapping your opinion of me. How am I doing so far? |
| Danny!Amorpho laughs, but is cut off when Danny comes in and punches him. | |
| Danny | Get away from my sister. |
| Jazz | I just knew he didn't have evil scrapbook destroying powers. |
| Jazz activates the ghost defense system. | |
| Danny | The ghost defenses. That means… |
| Jack and Maddie burst through a nearby door. | |
| Jack | Bingo Maddie. Putrid protoplasm dead ahead. |
| Maddie | And it's after our boy. |
| Danny!Amorpho | Uhh…uhh…that's right. I'm your boy, Billy. |
| Maddie | Danny. |
| Danny!Amorpho | Right. And this evil ghost is after me. Help! Help! You want attention glory hound? You got it. |
| Danny | What? |
| Jack | Sorry spook but I'm very particular about who my kids play with. |
| Danny | Stop! He's the putrid protoplasm not me. |
| Maddie | Nobody messes with my baby. |
| Jack | Thanks squeaky cheeks. |
| Maddie | I meant Danny. |
| Danny!Amorpho | I may have bitten off more than I can chew here. |
| Maddie | Lock the exits. |
| Jazz | Mom no! |
| Jack | There you see. We should do family stuff like this more often. |
| Danny!Amorpho | Underling. You cannot defeat Amorpho. |
| Danny | Amorpho? I know clowns with scarier names. |
| The two fight and accidentally activate the new Fenton invention. | |
| Jack | (offscreen) The trail leads to the lab Maddie. |
| Danny | Uh oh. Better they find Fenton than Phantom. What that? Come on. Change back. |
| Maddie | (offscreen) Jack! This ghost shredder is too heavy for me to lift. |
| Jack | (offscreen) Yeah that's because I added the extra blades. |
| Danny | Come on! Come on! |
| Jack and Maddie | Freeze ghost punk! |
| Jack | You tell us where our boy is. |
| Danny | I wish I knew. |
| Commercial break. | |
| Danny | What is going on? Why can't I change back? (Danny dodges blast) Aah! (He tries to fly up but hits the ceiling). What's the deal? I can't phase either? |
| Jack and Maddie attack Phantom and end up blasting a hole in the lab cileing. Danny flies through. Cut to Sam's bedroom where Sam is pacing on the phone and Tucker is reading on her bed. | |
| Sam | I can't get a hold of Danny today. Do you know where he is? |
| Danny crashes through her window. | |
| Sam | Danny? |
| Danny | Sorry. Listen I just fought a ghost who looks exactly like me but he can change how he looks. And now I can't change back or turn invisible or intangible. |
| Danny pulls out a piece of toast and starts eating it. | |
| Tucker | And you're eating toast. You hate toast. What gives? |
| Danny | I can't change back to Danny Fenton. Me and the other Danny were fighting and we ran into my dad's ecto-stoppo-power-o-fier and I think it's taking away our ghost powers. |
| Tucker | Does your dad ever invent anything that doesn't mess you up? |
| Sam | Or without a dorky name? |
| Danny | I can't go home. I can't go to school. I can't even walk around in public without getting mobbed. What am I gonna do? |
| Tucker | For starters, get some jam. This is awful dry. |
| Sam | Okay. You're stuck as Danny Phantom. It could be worse. |
| Jack and Maddie burst through Sam's wall. | |
| Jack | Attention adolescents. This is official Fenton business. Have you kids seen Danny? |
| Sam and Tucker | Uhhh…Danny who? |
| Maddie | He was being chased through our house by that awful Danny Phantom and now we can't find him. |
| Sam | Danny's not missing. We just saw him. Right Tucker? |
| Tucker | Yeah h-he was, uh, running down the street away from that jerky Danny Phantom. |
| Jack | Bingo! We're on high alert search and rescue mode until we find him. Let's rock! |
| Jack blasts another hole through Sam's wall. | |
| Jack | Obey all traffic laws. |
| Maddie | (sighs) Send us the bill. |
| Sam | We better figure out how to change you back fast before any more innocent bedroom walls are destroyed. |
| Danny | That means I have to find that other Danny, or Amorpho, or whatever it is before it's too late. |
| Cut to Casper High. Amorpho is struggling to change forms. | |
| Amorpho | (with Danny's body and Jazz's head) Why am I unable to revert back to my ghostly form? (now fully Danny again) Perhaps I can remain as…Billy Fenton. |
| Maddie | Youth of Amity Park! Be on the lookout for Danny Fenton. Aka the cutest sweetest son in the world. It is our desire to find him post haste so that we may shower him with hugs and with kisses. |
| Jack | Uh yeah, a-and sports. You know, guy stuff. |
| Danny!Amorpho | Then again, maybe not. Everyone will now be looking for him. Curses! I need some alone time to figure this out. I must become someone nobody wants to be around. |
| Mr. Lancer | Uh yo peeps. Coul I chill it witchall while I get my eat on? |
| Mr. Lancer looks up and the students are gone. | |
| Danny!Amorpho | Perfect |
| Amorpho ducks behind the tree and turns into Mr. Lancer | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | (panting) That's the last one for a while. I've got to get to the bottom of this. Perhaps the science lab will be of assistance. |
| Maddie | Danny?! Danny?! |
| Jack | Danny?! |
| Jack and Maddie | Danny?! Danny?! |
| Sam | (coming out from an alley) Wait! Mr. and Mrs. Fenton! I just saw Danny. |
| Jack | Where do you see him? |
| Sam | O-over there. |
| Tucker | Oooh. Owww. Ohhh. The pain. |
| Maddie | Danny? Sweetie? |
| Tucker | Mr. and Mrs…uh, mom and dad? Uh that ghost, uh, ripped my face off. I can't let you see me like this. |
| Tucker runs off down the alley. | |
| Jack and Maddie | Danny! Wait! |
| Maddie | Don't run Danny. There's nothing to be ashamed of. I-I can handle…disfigurement. |
| Jack | Yeah. Look how well she treats me. Thanks Sam. Have some toast. |
| Danny | Nice move, Sam. |
| Sam | Like taking toast from a baby. We'll hold off your parents. You find that ghost before your parents find you. I mean Danny. I mean Danny Phantom. Just go! (Danny flies off. Sam takes a bite of toast.) Why am I eating this? |
| Cut to an upside down math book. | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | (chuckles) So far so good. Disguised as a teacher I'm a veritable pariah. Next stop the science lab. |
| A paper airplane hits him in the face. Dash walks up holding a piece of paper. | |
| Dash | Hey there Mr. Lancer sir. (He tapes the paper to Mr. Lancer!Amorpho's back.) I couldn't help but notice how…shiny your head is today. |
| Dash runs off. Mr. Lancer!Amorpho turns around and shows the audience that he has a "kick me" sign on his back. A student comes up and kicks him in the rear and runs away. | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | You get back here! |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho chases after the student but slips on the janitor's bucket. He slides to a stop in front of a group of students. A student runs up with a camera. | |
| Student 1 | For the yearbook Mr. Lancer. |
| Student 2 | Uh Mr. Lancer. Is this pus? |
| Students | (chanting) Lancer! Lancer! Lancer! Lancer! |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho runs off down the hallway and the students chase after him. | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho turns and bumps into Mr. Lancer. | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho and Mr. Lancer | Why don't you watch where you're-- |
| Mr. Lancer | Prince and the Pauper! You're gorgeous! (Mr. Lancer faints) |
| Dash | Ah! Two Mr. Lancers. Nightmare number 36 has come true! (Dash faints) |
| Danny | Two of someone? It's gotta be Amporpho. But which one is he? |
| Students | Hey! It's Danny Phantom! |
| Danny turns around and finds a crowd of students. | |
| Danny | Oh no. |
| Cut to Tucker running down the street. | |
| Tucker | Sam! |
| Sam | Let's turn this marathon into a relay race. |
| Cut to Jack and Maddie running down the street. They pause, both out of breath. | |
| Jack | Tell me again why we (pants) couldn't (pants) take a taxi. |
| Maddie | Tell me again why you can't remember where you parked the RV. |
| Sam | Oh no! Please don't look at my facelessness! I must live in exile! |
| Jack | You ever notice that Danny kinda runs like a girl? |
| Cut back to Casper High as Danny is flying away from the mob of students. Danny loses his power of flight. | |
| Danny | What the? Woah. (Danny falls) So much for that power. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho is running down the hallway. He trips over Danny. | |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Hey its…you. |
| Danny | Uhhh yes citizen. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | No. Billy. I'm him. The ghost who changed into you. |
| Danny | Really? Awesome. |
| Danny blasts Mr. Lancer!Amorpho into a row of lockers. | |
| Danny | I've been looking for you. We've gotta get back to my house before-- |
| Students | There he is! |
| Danny | And another one bites the dust. Let's go. |
| Danny grabs Mr. Lancer!Amorpho and they run out of the school. On their way out they pass Sam dressed as Danny. | |
| Danny | Sam. |
| Sam | Danny? |
| Danny | Is that my shirt? |
| Sam | No time to explain. Just run! |
| Jack and Maddie burst through the wall. | |
| Jack and Maddie | Freeze Phantom! |
| Danny | Oh no. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | You're not the only ghost here you know. |
| Jack and Maddie | Mr. Lancer? |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Bonzai! |
| Jack | (shivers) I hate it when ghosts invade your personal space. |
| Maddie | Jack. Mr. Lancer. He's a… |
| Jack | Honey you're right. Mr. Lancer has been taken over by that putrid protoplasmic punk Danny Phantom. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Looks like I picked the wrong person to impersonate. Everyone is after you. |
| Danny | You have no idea. You know there are better ways to get noticed. The next time you want attention do what humans do. Streak at sporting events or go on a reality tv show and eat live bugs for money. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | I just wanted to have some fun. Ruining your life wasn't the best way to go about it, I suppose. |
| Danny | And I just wanted to be left alone. But if we can't fix this (they fly past a billboard of Danny Phantom) I don’t think I'll ever be left alone again. |
| The two phase into the lab and walk towards the new invention. | |
| Danny | We just have to-- |
| Jack and Maddie burst a hole in the wall. | |
| Jack | Stop in the name of all things pure and non-ecto! |
| Danny | Um, I can explain. |
| Maddie | Mr. Lancer. What's going on here? Where's our son? |
| Jack | Yeah. And have you been violated by any putrid protoplasm? |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Um, I, uh (clears throat) that is, uh… |
| Danny | Uh, what he means is that he captured me. All by himself. Him. Mr. Lancer. |
| Jack and Maddie | What? |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Uh, that's right. And I was just about to dispose of him here in your lab. (chuckles nervously) |
| Danny | Right. (chuckles) But I, um, escaped. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | And I…raced after him. |
| Danny | Yeah. And, so, (turns to Mr. Lancer!Amorpho) now you will pay you cur! |
| Danny grabs Mr. Lancer!Amorpho and slams him into the machine. They begin to fake fight in order to activate it. | |
| Danny | Take this. |
| Mr. Lancer!Amorpho | Ow. Ow. Owie. |
| They successfully get hit by the machine. Cut to the kitchen as Mr. Lancer!Amorpho and Danny running out of the basement, coughing, as smoke trails behind them. | |
| Danny | Okay. Here goes. (successfully changes back) Alright! (inspects his hair) I can change again! |
| Amorpho turns into his normal form. | |
| Amorpho | So can I. I'm me. And that means I'm everyone. |
| Amorpho transforms into several other forms before reverting back to his normal body. | |
| Amorpho | (sighs and extends a hand) Thanks for the help. (The two shake hands) And sorry I wanted all the attention. Being faceless, sometimes you just want to be noticed. But I guess it's not so bad sharing the spotlight. |
| Danny | The spotlight? You can have it. I'm happy just to blend in. Just, do me a favor. I'll leave you alone if you promise to never let me see you around here again. Deal? |
| Amorpho | (tips his hat) Deal. |
| Danny | Cool |
| Amorpho | But how will you know if (transforms into Phantom) you do. |
| Amorpho phases through the ceiling and flies away. Jack and Maddie run up from the basement. | |
| Jack and Maddie | Danny! |
| Maddie | Oh. We're so glad to see you. How do you feel? Are you okay? How's your face? Awww cute and pinchable as always. |
| Jack | So how'd you get rid of that Danny Phantom freak anyway son? |
| Danny | Easy. I just told him that my parents were the fearsome Fentons, he freaked out, used his powers to patch me up and brought me home. Looks like you guys are pretty famous in the ghost community. |
| Jack | Aw shucks pal. It might seem like sunshine and buttered toast at times, but fame isn't all it's cracked up to be. |
| Danny | Yeah. I guess there's such a thing as too much attention. |
| Cut to a bathroom stall. | |
| Mr. Lancer | Where…where am I? Ugh I had the weirdest nightmare. I dreamt there were two of me. (scoffs) Ha that's ridiculous. When they made me they broke the mold. Me. Mr. Lancer. |
| Women shriek. Mr. Lancer turns around to see women glaring at him. Cut to the "Women" restroom sign as chattering is heard from behind the door. | |
| Mr. Lancer | Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants! (It sounds like someone slapped Mr. Lancer) I don't know how I ended up here. (Fighting sounds are heard as the shot pans out to an aerial view of Casper High) I don't need this kind of attention. |
| Amorpho flies on screen and laughs. He tips his hat. | |
| The End |
