"Now turn over the diamonds and we'll go easy on ya!" "Don't worry, I'm just saying that to lull him to submission." "Never!" "These crystals will send mega-city back into the Ice Age!" "Now step aside!" "Whoa, talk about a cold-hearted plan!" "I see what ya did there." "Not bad!" "Now come on!" " Stay back!" " Aaah!" "Dude, what's wrong?" "Ya gotta stay still!" "I might love cool puns, Joey, but..." "I hate the cold!" " Dude, freeze!" " I'm already freezing!" "What?" "No, that wasn't a pun." "I got an idea!" "Hold... it... steady!" "What?" "No!" "And now we will proceed to send this diabolical snowball into the sun." "Aaah!" "(Barks)" "Joey!" "Joey!" "Joey!" "Wake up!" "It's a snow day!" "Oh, whatever." "I'm trying to sleep!" " Go bug mom and dad!" " I'm not kidding." " Look out the window!" " Would ya get lost?" "It's the middle of July..." "I don't believe it!" " Holy schmokey baloney." " Put away your bikinis and dust off those parkas." "Mega-city's been smacked in the face by a sudden cold spell and a massive dump of snow." "Something not even our own trusted weatherman has been able to figure out." "No surprise." "That hack wouldn't know a geostrophic wind from a katabatic one if it bit him in the..." "Hey!" "Don't get mad at me, Gord." "You're the one predicting high temperatures all week!" " This is messed up!" " No, it isn't." "It's amazing!" "Come on, Joey, let's go play in the snow!" " (Sighs) - (Ap laughs)" "Well, uh, you have fun freezin' your butt off out there." "I'll just stay nice and cosy in..." "Hey, wait!" "I told you I hate the cold!" "There!" "I'm gonna call him Lumpy." "Here you go, Lumpy!" "Now we can hug and be best friends!" "C-C-C-Come on." "How hard is it to start a fire?" "What are you doing?" "It's not that cold out!" "Says the guy who couldn't be bothered to find me a coat." " This cape's a little draughty." " Quit being a baby." " It's just a little..." " Snow!" "Come on, Joey, we quit playing with your puppet." "Let's have a snowball fight!" "Just give me a minute." "You get me somewhere warm right now or I really start wailing'." " (Giggles) This is a nice one!" " I got a better idea, Abby." "Why don't we go warm up and make some hot chocolate?" " Hot chocolate!" "Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Hot chocola..." " (Muffled) - (Giggles)" "Huh?" "Nah." "Abby... oh, Abby!" "Lumpy!" "You're alive!" "I know!" "Isn't it amazing?" " And it's all thanks to you!" " Really?" "Yes, really!" "The love and care that you put into making me must have brought me to life." "And in return, I've made us some friends!" "Would you like to come out and play with us?" "Would I?" "Just gimme a sec." "Take all the time you need, Abby." "'Cause you and I, we're gonna be together..." "Forever." "(Evil laugh)" "It sounds like a cheesy holiday movie and, quite frankly, it's starting to feel that way, as downtown mega-city has been invaded by an army of snowmen!" "Woo-hoo!" "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" "Wait." "Was that Abby?" "Don't be scared, kind newsman." "We're not here to cause any trouble." "Let me ask you a question." "Don't ya just love the holidays?" " Well, sure." " Who doesn't?" "The joy of children laughing and playing, families putting aside differences and coming together!" "And who can deny the feelings you had the first time you rolled up your very own snowman?" "(Sobs)" "All we're here to do is make sure that feeling lasts forever." "Behold!" "(Whistles) My winterizer!" "By harnessing the powers of all the city's precious jewels," "I will encase the city in a giant snow globe!" "Say goodbye to sunny days." "Winter's going to last forever." "(Evil laugh)" " We've gotta save Abby!" " And fast!" " Where you going?" " To go through her doll house." " And see to find a coat." " There's no time for that!" "You could have at least let me grab a scarf." "Lumpy, did you really mean it when you said it was gonna stay cold and snowy forever?" "Well, it has to, Abby." "Otherwise, I'm gonna melt and we won't be able to play together." "Oh... right." "Give it up, you snow maniac!" "Your reign of terror is over!" "Why, Atomic Puppet, whatever do you mean?" "I'm only giving the world exactly what they want, the joys of the holiday season all year 'round." " Isn't that right, Abby?" " Hey, leave her outta this!" "Wait!" "Don't hurt Lumpy." "Don't worry, Abby." "No matter what happens," "I will not let these silly little fellows hurt us." "Hah!" "You gonna try to beat us with a couple of angry snowmen?" "You'll have to better than that!" "Ok, that's definitely an improvement!" " Cold, cold!" " Wait!" "Why is everybody fighting?" "(Laughs)" "Don't you realise?" "You can't beat me." "I'm made of snow!" "Which means I'm everywhere!" "Ok, that's not good." "No!" "I thought magic snowmen were supposed to be..." "Kind and jolly souls." "Lumpy, they seem really angry!" "Is everything ok?" "Angry?" "No." "They're just playing." "Ok, good, 'cause Atomic Puppet protects the city." " We can't hurt him!" " Abby, you have my word." "I will not hurt him." " Thanks, Lumpy!" " (Barking)" "Hey, where ya going, little buddy?" "Keep the fun times goin', boys!" " Whoa!" " Whoa!" "I think I blacked out there for a second." "Did we plough the snowmen?" " Not even close." " Great." "Do me a favour?" "The next time your sister wants to make an evil snowman, maybe you, uh, I don't know, tell her not to?" "Ok, that's ridiculous." "How about instead of blaming a child, you actually help me figure this out?" "I-I-I-I-I don't know what to tell ya." "I'm freezing my butt off here." "I'm not in the right mindset to think of some blow-away plan." " Ap, you're a genius!" " Yeah, I know!" " Wait." "Why are you saying that?" " (Giggling)" "Whee!" "Isn't this the best, Abby?" "There's nothing better than a beautiful winter's day!" "This ends now, you snow maniac!" "Oh, joy, look who's come back to play!" "Dude, we gotta get these blades spinning!" "(Gasps)" "(Evil laughter)" "Prepare to be blown away." "No!" "What's happening?" "Stop!" "You can't do this!" "I'm afraid your little snow day's cancelled." " No!" " (Abby screams)" "Abby!" " You all right, little girl?" " I think so!" "I'm sorry, Atomic Puppet!" "He told me you were just playing." "Believe me when I say this, Abby." "Compared to what I'm about to do, I was only playing!" "You gotta get outta here!" "Now!" "Lumpy, what's wrong with you?" "Why are you doing this?" "Don't you see, Abby?" "We could have so much fun together if it wasn't for this pitiful Atomic Puppet" " always getting in the way!" " I'm done playing with you!" "Turn off this globe and let Atomic Puppet go!" "But Abby, if I do that I'll melt, and we won't be friends any more." "Good!" "I'm done being friends with you, you big bully!" "Oh, I see." "You're just like everyone else!" "It's all fun and games when you bring me to life, but then you get bored and start complaining that it's too cold" " and you wanna get rid of me!" " That's not it at all." "Turns out you're just mean!" "No!" "My globe!" "What have you done, you little brat?" "Hey, come on, you don't need to get hot about it!" "Wait, Abby!" "I'm sorry!" "I..." "I didn't mean it!" "Abby, save me!" " And..." " Victory pose!" "Let me get this straight." "You're telling me, you fought alongside Atomic Puppet and went one-on-one with your evil snowman, Lumpy?" "Yep." "You have to believe me!" "Atomic puppet was frozen in this ball of ice, right." "And then it was up to me." "I used a snowball to shatter..." "OK, OK, Abby." "Settle down, Settle down." "I believe you." "Good." "There was one other thing that was kinda strange, though." "The puppet, like, wouldn't stop crying about being cold." " Oh, really?" " Yeah!" "If you ask me, he's, uh, well, kind of a wuss." " Why, you little..." " That is weird!" "Never woulda guessed it." "Man, I can't believe it's finally here." "I'm gonna get to go to a justice alliance holiday bash!" "Let's not kid ourselves." "The bashing commences when AP arrives." " So hustle it up, Joey!" " Ok, but, before we go," "I got ya something." "Here, open it." ""To my pal, AP."" " Uh... you shouldn't have." " Ah." "No, seriously." "'Cause I didn't get you squat." "(Chuckles nervously)" "Anywhoo." "Nice!" "How'd you know I like rockin' the Santa suit" " this time of year?" " You kidding?" "You haven't stopped talking about it for weeks!" "Now, come on." "If you're ready, I'm ready!" "Ron, let's get this party started!" "Well, well, well!" "You guys made it!" " Oh, we wouldn't miss it!" " Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Is this supposed to be the final setup?" "We can do better than this." "Egghead, start cranking the tunes!" "Now we're talkin'!" "And Beacon, looking a little light on the holiday theme." "Fire up some more décor!" "(Gasps) Mwah!" "Come on, Cav, you can stare at yourself all year long." "It's time to kick things off with a little taste of your Eggnog of Justice!" "(Bleeps)" " (Bleeps)" " Yeah, thanks, Ron." " I know it's his favourite." " All right, ya rascals, where'd ya stash old AP's favourite holiday bevy?" "I don't know what to do." "You got any of last year's...?" "Fess up, boys." "I'm gettin' a little parched over here!" "Sorry about the wait... uh..." "Ron just had to finish mixing the special ingredients in." " Isn't that right?" " (Bleeps)" "Now, if you'll excuse me..." "Phew!" "You sure that's safe?" "Woo-hoo!" "You have outdone yourselves this year, boys." "That's some top-notch nog fit for a Santa!" "Ho, ho, ho!" "(Chuckles) Seriously, though, boys, where's the old suit?" "Time for super-secret Santa to spring into action!" "Surprise!" "Come on, AP, come take a seat on Santa's lap and..." " What have you done to my suit?" " Ah... uh..." "I figured since it doesn't fit you anymore, someone would have to fill in and so I made some alterations." "And I guess it never crossed your mind to maybe alter it to fit me?" "You guys know that being super-secret Santa is my thing!" "Well, forget it!" "Who needs ya?" "Have fun at your stupid party!" "AP, stop it!" "Just come back and and what?" "Act like everything's just like the old days?" "Of course not, but we can still have fun!" "One day, when you get a little older, you'll realise friendships don't last forever." "You grow up, things change and..." "Oh, what's the point?" "Go enjoy the party." "I'll just kill some time in my old quarters." "Ooh!" "We didn't think you were gonna need that room any more so we kinda turned it into an arcade." "Of course you did, 'cause that makes perfect sense!" "Yeah, that's fine." "Just get rid of all my stuff so you can plug in a couple of dusty pinball machines." "Oh, wait, silly me!" "They were nice enough to cram it all into a couple of boxes!" "(Groans) What did I do to deserve this?" "(Snores)" "AP..." "AP..." "Knock it off, kid." "I'm not Joey." "What in the...?" "Who are you?" "And how'd you get in here?" "I am the hero of holidays past, present and future." "Oh, is that right?" "Listen, Chachi, I've heard this story before." "Go find a Scrooge to spook and let me get some rest." "There will be no resting." "Come with me so I can expose you to the errors of your ways!" "All right!" "Now this is something I can sink my teeth into," "Ghost boy!" "Nothing like the holidays in my old lair!" "Wait." "Is that me?" "This is kinda trippy." "Shh." "Observe." "All right, Cap." "I've got all the gifts wrapped, cookies and milk by the chimney, yule log prepped and, as a little surprise," "I sent your super-secret Santa suit away to get dry-cleaned." "You what?" "I need it for the Justice Alliance." "Hold it back." "I thought you said that was tomorrow night!" "I was just trying to surprise you." "You wanna surprise me?" "How about you?" "Go ten minutes without screwing up!" " Now go get that suit back!" " I will, I promise!" "I swear." "I even wrote it down." "Ooh, pretty harsh, AP." "And you wonder why he turned you into a puppet?" "If all this rigmarole's supposed to make me feel bad for Mookie," " you're wasting your time." " Ah... come with me." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "I don't know what your plan is but I'm not going back to the party." "I understand, AP." "Just listen." "Let's say I'd taken the time to make him a miniature Santa suit." "What would the odds be he'd flip out and say we're treating him like a baby?" "Probably pretty good." "I know how ya feel." "Each time I think he's getting used to being Atomic Puppet, something sends him into a rage!" "(Sarcastic) Oh, I'm sorry I have a bit of a temper." "Quick survey." "Everyone who knows what it's like Super power to turn into a sock, raise your hand." " Exactly!" " They can't hear you." "Oh, well, I still made my point." "I'm starting to think the only way he'll ever be happy is if I figure out a way to turn him back." "Huh!" "Nice to see you guys chatting' it up without me." "Guess I'm not really wanted around here." " AP, hold on!" " Beam me home, Ron." "Oh, OK, now I see." "You're trying to make me feel bad for them feeling bad." "If you think they feel bad now, just wait." "Oh, would you just let me sleep?" "It was a cold and blustery night, and instead of spending it with your closest friends, you stormed off in a huff and walked in the streets of Mega-city alone." "Or so you thought." "Wait, AP, turn around!" "With you finally all alone, Mookie snatched you in his grasp and snuck you away to the science centre only to bind your powers to his hand, instead of Joey's." "No, no, that'll never work!" "As the powers flowed from your being to his..." "The system can't handle it, it's gonna..." "The police arrived and Mookie rambled on and on like a madman talking about a puppet and a boy named Joey Felt." "You were both committed to an asylum, forced to spend the rest of your lives together in a padded cell." "That's impossible!" "Why wouldn't Joey come save me?" "The media circus surrounding the incident forced Joey and his family to move away." "It wasn't long before he and Pauline grew apart." "And Joey would forever think you'd abandoned him." " End of scene." " Ugh!" "Where you taking me now?" "I'm afraid this is all that's left of Mega-city." "Wow!" "You are really insistent on bumming me out, aren't you?" "Having already lived through the loss of Captain Atomic, the citizens of Mega-city lost all their fight when they felt Atomic Puppet had abandoned them as well." "Stop saying I abandoned anyone." "I just needed some fresh air!" "Soon, Mega-city would find itself under the rule" " of Supreme leader Tite-Gripp." " I'm almost afraid to ask," " but what happened to Joey?" " Ah, Joey..." "He never forgot what you said about friendships not being forever, and after all that had happened, he made a choice." "The only relationship he would ever have would be his one with Mega-city and being its protector." "Oh!" "Well, at least that's good." "Oh!" "What's he likes." "Is he the police chief now?" "Not exactly." " That's Joey?" " Huh, so much for having spaghetti arms!" "Tite-Gripp!" "Your reign of terror ends tonight!" "When will you learn?" "No matter how many times you try, you cannot weaken my grip on this city!" "What's he doing?" "He can't go one-on-one with Tite-Gripp!" "Joey, it's me!" "Don't do this!" "He's gonna squash you like a bug!" "Prepare to be annihilated!" "(Battle cries)" "(Evil laugh)" " (Battle cry)" " Lights out, Tite-Gripp!" " (Chuckles) - (Cheering)" "I can't believe it." "He did it!" "People of Mega-city, you no longer have to be afraid!" "Come out from your homes and join me in..." "Joey!" "We gotta power up now!" "No!" "That's enough of this!" "None of this is real!" "None of it's gonna happen!" "Leave me alone and get outta here!" "I can't!" "I'm here because of you!" "You conjured me up because the only person you listen to is" " yourself." " (Screams)" "Listen to me, AP." "You've lost everything before." "You know what that's like!" "So pull your head out of your puppet hole and start paying attention to those around you or everything and everyone you care about will be gone forever!" "Mega-city will forever be mine!" "Joey!" "What's up?" "You done whining and ready to come party or..." "Sweet mercy, you're alive!" "Where am I?" "My old room?" "What's gotten you all fired up?" "Look, about earlier, I just wanted to say..." "It's fine, dude." "Can we just get back to the party?" "Hey, super-secret Santa!" "Pull up a chair 'cause old AP's got a pretty long list this year." "(Chuckles)" "Ron, let's get a little music to get things going in here!" "First things first," "I'm definitely gonna need some new batteries for my car and I'm thinking maybe a chin-up bar?" "And a punching bag for Joey!" "You know, just in case." "Oh, and I've had my eye on this really hip suede jacket." "I'm pretty sure those are gonna be in this year."
