Jenna's Bedtime Blues/Transcript

(The crew is in the lunch hall and the girls are being nice to Muffy so that they can be invited to her slumber party.)

Prunella Deegan: Oh, Muffy. Let me get that tray for you. And I found a lovely table over here.

Fern: Muffy, I made you a handy study guide for tomorrow's test.

(Arthur and Buster are discussing why everyone is being awkwardly nice to Muffy and about her slumber parties.)

Buster: Everyone's being stangely nice to Muffy.

Arthur: It must be time for her annual slumber party.

Buster: Yeugh! She's probably planning all sorts of girly things!

Arthur: At lats year's party, they dressed up in costumes and jewellery.

(Flashback: Muffy's slumber party last year.)

Fern: Uugh!

Francine:Oh no! The Ancient Egyptian jackel zombies are blocking the time portal! Let's get 'em!

Fern: Uugh!

Fern, Prunella, Sue Ellen, Muffy & Francine: (laughs)

(Back to the previous scene.)

Buster: Like I said: (chew, chew) girl stuff!

Arthur: And her parents are arranging for acrobats from the pieking Circus to perform.

(Arthur's imagination: Acrobats from the circus are performing in Muffy's house.)

Fern, Prunella, Sue Ellen, Muffy & Francine: (gasp)

Fern, Prunella, Sue Ellen, Muffy & Francine: (cheers) Woo hoo!

(back to the previous scene.)

Buster: I guess that's kinda girly.

(Arthur's imagination: The guests are in the game room.)

Arthur: And they imported the newest video arcade games! And there was an ice cream machine...

(Back to the previous scene.)

Arthur: ...and a fireworks and laser show, and there was---

Buster: Okay,okay! How can I get my invitation.

Francine: You can't. It's girls only.

Buster: But what if I paint my nails?! I'll do anything! It'd be crazy not to want to go.

(It cuts to Jenna finding her invitation to Muffy's Slumber Party at her locker.)

Jenna: I can't believe I'm invited to Muffy's Slumber Party! This is a disaster. (drops envelope and letter)

[INTERTITLE SHOWS]

(It cuts to Jenna and Francine playing badminton at the school.]

Jenna: Why was I even invited to the slumber party? I didn't think Muffy liked me that much.

Francine: She just needs to get to know you better, so I pulled a few strings.

Jenna: But, what if I can't go? Uh, I've got a badminton tournament that day.

Francine: The party's at night.

Jenna: Well, maybe I didn't want to go to her stupid party in the first place! (she then storms out of the court)

(It then goes to Muffy, Francine, and Fern talking in the hallway, while Jenna is at her locker.)

Francine: I don't think she's ever been to a slumber party.

Fern: Yeah, she always has other plans.

Francine: Maybe she gets really homesick, and can't sleep without mommy and daddy.

(Francine, Fern, and Muffy giggle. It then goes to Prunella talking about Jenna to Sue Ellen and Francine.)

Prunella: I've heard she walks in her sleep, and one night she tried to strangle a cat.

(It then goes to Binky talking about Jenna in the classroom.)

Binky: She's bald, and has to take off her wig every night.

(It then goes to Arthur, Brain, Buster, Francine and Muffy walking home, talking about Jenna.)

Arthur: If Jenna heard all these rumors, she'd get really upset.

Buster: Besides, I already know why she won't go to Muffy's party, because it takes place at night.

Francine: So?

Buster: So, when do masked crimefighters from other planets do their best work?

(It then goes to Jenna flying on top of a skyscraper.)

Jenna: I'd like to be at Muffy's slumber party, but night is when my town city needs me, and no one can know my true identity as, Radioactive Squidwoman! (she takes off her face) And there's Dr. Doomsday if I'm not mistaken!

Dr. Doomsday: I blame you for my pickle factory accident; I shall be avenged!

(A cannon comes out of Jenna's chest, which sprays Dr. Doomsday with blue ink.)

Dr. Doomsday: Aah! The ink!

(Back to the previous scene.)

Buster: The ink! I can't see!

Jenna: Hey guys.

Buster: We weren't talking about you, we promise. Hey, what's that on your hands?

Jenna: Oh, my pen broke and I got ink all over me.

Buster: Sure Jenna, we understand. (winks)

Muffy: If you're worried about strangling my cats, don't worry. We don't have any.

Jenna: Whatever you heard about me, it's just not true!

Francine: Does that mean you can come to the party tommorow?

Jenna: Sure...I can, wait.

(It then goes to Jenna in her bedroom.)

Jenna: I'm doomed. If I wear this to the party, I'll be laughed at for the rest of my life.

Jenna's Dad: Honey, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's a medical problem millions of kids have.

Jenna: If there's really millions, then why haven't I met any?

Jenna's Dad: You probably have. But like you they're worried they'll be teased, so they keep it a secret.

Jenna: I can't believe. I helped coach Pee Wee Soccer, I won Athlete of the Year, and I still wet the bed.

Jenna's Dad: Only from time to time. And wearing that alarm is helping you improve.

Jenna: But if I leave it at home, I'll have to bring this old diaper, and they'll laugh at me even more.

Jenna's Dad: Jenna, it's not a diaper, it's a pull-up.

Jenna: You just don't know how hard this all is.

Jenna's Dad: Believe me, I do. And I never believed me dad when he said I'd grow out of it, but I did, and you will too.

Jenna: But when?

(It then goes to Jenna's dream, where she won the gold medal for downhill skiing. Francine and Arthur are TV commentators.)

Arthur: And Jenna Morgans won the gold medal for downhill skiing, a heartwarming story, isn't it?

Francine: Indeed. Though inflicted with nocturnal enuresis, which sounds like a horrible disease, she heroically, hey, does anyone know what nocturnal enuresis means?

Arthur(with a dictionary): Nocturnal enuresis, nocturnal means at night, and enuresis means involuntary urination. Francine, Jenna Morgans is nothing but a bed-wetter!

(The crowd gasps in shock, and the press soon takes pictures of Jenna. It then goes to a street, where Buster is selling newspapers.)

Buster: Extra,extra, read all about it! Career of skiier now all downhill! Morgan wakes up wet!

(it goes back to Jenna's bedroom)

Bedwetting alarm: buzzing

Jenna: gasping

(outside the Muffy's house)
