CLOSER ON TIMMY
TIMMY
Oh boy! The Comic Book, Fantasy and Reality
avoidance expo! Where people who like this
stuff can get together and prove they’re not
geeks!
CHESTER
Verily!
AJ
Affirmative, Timmy.
TIMMY
And this year, I’m gonna get my comic signed
by the Crimson Chin! He’s the greatest super
hero ever!
CHESTER
I’m here for the costume contest.
AJ
There’s a costume contest?
DISSOLVE TO:
TIMMY
Cool! The Crimson Chin! I wish Cosmo and
Wanda could be here to see this!
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 3
WIDEN TO REVEAL COSMO AND WANDA floating right next to him! In
broad daylight! What the poof?
COSMO
Hi Timmy!
TIMMY
Hi Cosmo! Hi Wanda! (beat)
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
TIMMY
You know the rules! If anybody finds you, I
never get to see you again!
COSMO
Relax! We’re here every year!
WANDA
Everybody’s in costume! Nobody ever knows
we’re real!
CUT TO:
MR. CROCKER
Fairies are real! Real I tell you!
He starts to step off the box. TWO COPS ZIP into frame, brandishing
NIGHT STICKS.
COP ONE
Fifty yards, crackpot. You know the drill.
MR. CROCKER
Well, they are...
CUT TO:
WANDA
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 4
As long as everybody thinks we’re big headed
kids in costumes, we haven’t broken the rules!
WOOD NYMPH
Nice wings, big headed kid.
COSMO
Thanks! Great use of mulch!
COSMO
See?
TIMMY
Are there other Fairies here?
WANDA
Sure! Look...
COSMO (O.S.)
It’s Jorgen Von Strangle! The toughest fairy in
the universe!
JORGEN
Do you have Pretty Pony #2 and 3?
COMIC DEALER
No?
JORGEN
Draw them.
COMIC DEALER
I can’t draw.
JORGEN
Learn!!!
TIMMY
He’s here! He’s here!
ANNOUNCER
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your
favorite super hero and mine - THE CRIMSON
CHIN!
The SPOTLIGHT hits the stage, revealing the CRIMSON CHIN! But then
his hairy gut pops out of his suit and we see that he’s merely a bad
actor with a fake chin. The crowd laughs.
WANDA
Wow. The Crimson Chin really let himself go.
AJ pulls out a BODY-FAT MEASURER and pinches one of the Chin’s LOVE
HANDLES.
AJ
Everybody knows REAL superheroes have five
percent body fat! This guy’s at 102!
CHESTER
They should call him the Crimson Double Chin.
TIMMY
I can already feel this scarring me for life.
DISSOLVE TO:
TIMMY
That Crimson Chin stinks!
COSMO
Looks like he eats too!
TIMMY
I wish the real Crimson Chin were here!
COSMO
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 6
Hey, we can do that! One hero...
WANDA
...with everything on it!
Wanda hits the comic book cover with her wand and the Chin
materializes in front of Timmy!
TIMMY
Cool! It’s the real Crimson Chin!
CRIMSON CHIN
...In the name of all that is right, I...
(disoriented) ...what? Huh?
CRIMSON CHIN
Where am I?
TIMMY
You’re in Dimmsdale! And I’m Timmy! I’m
your biggest fan!
CRIMSON CHIN
I was just in an heroic battle of Good vs. Evil
when I suddenly appeared... Great Jaws of
Justice!
The Chin scans the convention, mistaking the Sci-Fi fans for actual
villains.
We PAN OVER TO SEE A MAN DRESSED LIKE THE BRONZE KNEE CAP.
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 7
CRIMSON CHIN (V.O.)
And my arch nemesis! The Bronze Knee Cap!
CRIMSON CHIN
Clearly, I’ve stumbled into some sort of
massive, super villain team-up!
WANDA
He thinks they’re actual bad guys!
COSMO
And with his powers, he’s gonna rip through
them like tissue! Neat!
CRIMSON CHIN
EAT CHIN, FELONS!
TIMMY
No! I wish his powers didn’t work!
Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands and POOF! The Chin’s powers
vanish and he slams into the ground. Another KID, dressed like a
Japanese MANGA CHARACTER, walks up.
MANGA KID
Cool wands! Where’d you get ‘em?
Several KIDS near the Crimson Chin, including AJ, laugh. AJ checks his
body fat.
AJ
5.01 percent. Poser.
AJ walks O.S.
CRIMSON CHIN
My powers... gone! There must be some
Chintonite in this facility.
The Crimson Chin looks up at Timmy, who still holds his comic book.
The Chin sees himself on the cover, stands up and starts flipping
through the pages. We see panel after panel of the Crimson Chin’s life
in the book.
CRIMSON CHIN
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 8
Holy Hygienist! This periodical... it reveals my
secret identity...
TIMMY
Yeah! Charles Hampton Indigo! Lantern-jawed
reporter for the Daily Blabbity!
CRIMSON CHIN
Quiet! ...and the location of the Chin Strap of
solitude...
TIMMY
Yeah! Just outside of Chincinatti!
CRIMSON CHIN
Stop that! And my dimple size! That’s... so
personal! But... but how?
TIMMY
Well... You’re a made up character in my
world.
CRIMSON CHIN
I don’t understand.
TIMMY
Did you have an imaginary friend when you
were a kid?
CRIMSON CHIN
Sure! Eddie, the furry gerbil! He was always
so cute and...
TIMMY
Well, that’s you.
CRIMSON CHIN
I’m... an imaginary gerbil?
TIMMY
(beat) Basically. (beat) Hey, are you okay?
CRIMSON CHIN
Oh, I’m fine... I... I’m just dealing with the fact
that I DON’T EXIST!
TIMMY
But...
CRIMSON CHIN
Whatever. Just put me back in my stupid,
made up book. I have to go be “fictional.”
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 9
TIMMY
Okay. I wish you were back in the book with all
your powers.
Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and the Chin magically “swirls”
into the book.
CUT TO:
CRIMSON CHIN
Do you mind? I’m having a bit of a breakdown
here.
The Crimson Chin curls into a fetal position and sucks his thumb. The
pig Squeals.
COUNTRY BOY
Ya think the rains’ll hurt the rhubarb?
CUT TO:
WANDA
Wow. He sure seems upset.
TIMMY
That’s okay. He’s a hero! Soon, everything will
be fine in the world of the Crimson Chin!
CUT TO:
TV MONITOR
MALE NEWSCASTER
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 10
Everything is not fine in the world of the
Crimson Chin! Right Sharon?
FEMALE NEWSCASTER
Right, Bob. We’ve learned that the latest
Crimson Chin issue has everyone’s favorite
hero lying in a fetal position, crying for 32 full
pages! The book’s cancellation is imminent!
MALE NEWSCASTER
Which is not fine!!
Timmy, Cosmo and Wanda watch the newscast. Timmy spies a TRASH
CAN, piled high with discarded Crimson Chin COMICS.
TIMMY
Hey! Why are the new Crimson Chin books in
the trash?
As Timmy looks through the book, we see the Crimson Chin in different
panels, balled up in a fetal position.
TIMMY
Fetal position... fetal position... fetal position...
it’s true! This comic stinks now. And it’s all my
fault!
COSMO
Really? Cool! Usually it’s mine!
COSMO
I mean, I’m sorry. Timmy, is there anything we
can do?
TIMMY
Maybe I could go talk to him? Every Chin
needs a shoulder to cry on, right? I wish I could
be in the Crimson Chin’s comic book!
The godparents wave their wands and Timmy magically swirls into the
comic book world.
CUT TO:
TIMMY
Cool! The Daily Blabbity!
CUT TO:
Timmy walks through a hallway lined with doors and stops in front of
one that reads “Charles Hampton INdigo - Ace Reporter.”
TIMMY
And this is the office of Charles Hampton
Indigo, who is secretly the Crimson Chin!
Timmy opens the door. Charles, his back to the door, sits behind a
DESK in a SWIVEL CHAIR, wearing civilian clothes. His Clark Kent
GLASSES rest on his Chin.
The Chin spins around, knocking everything off the desk with his
gigantic chin.
TIMMY
Come on, Charles! You’re a hero! You gotta
snap out of this! You have to remember the
good times!
TIMMY
Like... Over there! It’s a flashback!
Timmy pulls the Chin over to the next comic book panel.
Timmy and the Chin walk across the tops of the comic panels. They
peer into another panel and see Charles, hunched over in his
apartment, holding his head.
ON PANEL
His chin explodes and elongates. His entire body becomes instantly
buff and covered in a red costume.
TIMMY
That handsome actor’s bite gave you amazing,
chintastic powers and an amazing, chintastic
costume! And you’ve been using them to fight
evil ever since! (BEAT) And look! Evil!
TIMMY
Are you gonna let him...
TIMMY
Hello?
Charles walks over the tops of action panels, away from Timmy.
Timmy catches up.
TIMMY
Wait! You’ve got to stop him!
ON TIMMY:
TIMMY
Man, he’s depressed. He needs somebody at
his side, to kick him into shape... What do they
call those things? Oh yeah, sidekicks!
Timmy runs into an alley, grabs his shirt and prepares to rip it open.
TIMMY
This looks like a job for...
Timmy rips his clothes off revealing just his UNDIES. Embarrassed, he
puts his pink hat in front of his privates.
TIMMY
Hey!
CUT TO:
MR. CROCKER
Fairies are real! Real I--
MR. CROCKER
Hey! I know you two.
COSMO
No you don’t!
WANDA
We’re just a couple of normal, every day,
floating, big headed kids!
COSMO
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 14
But have I got a secret for you.
(whispering)
That kid over there is a REAL fairy.
MR. CROCKER
I knew it!
The KID wears a sweater with an “f” on it. Crocker leaps into frame,
grabbing the back of her shirt.
MR. CROCKER
A Fairy! And I captured her! She’s mine!
Mine!
The kid in the fairy shirt pulls out PEPPER SPRAY and zaps Crocker.
Crocker’s fingers unfold and the kid drops to the ground safely as the
cops walk into frame.
MR. CROCKER
AAAA!!!
COP ONE
Hi. Remember us?
WANDA
This is always my favorite part of the
convention.
COSMO
Remember last year? That other kid with the
pepper spray?
WANDA
Yeah. Those were good times.
They sigh. Suddenly, the comic book, under Cosmo’s arm, flaps
around “angrily.”
TIMMY (O.S.)
HEY!
Cosmo and Wanda look into the book to find Timmy buck naked and
covering himself.
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 15
TIMMY
A little help please?
WANDA
You want us to come in there, sweetie?
TIMMY
No... But I could use a cool “side kick”
costume!
Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and POOF! With his back to the
camera, Timmy is in his undies with a big birthday CANDLE on his
head.
TIMMY
What the...
COSMO
You’re Birthday Boy! With amazing birthday
powers!
WANDA
And you’re in your birthday suit!
TIMMY
Great. Nothing strikes fear into the hearts of
criminals like a naked kid. I wish I had a cool
costume! Okay?
They raise their wands and POOF! Timmy gets a cool sidekick MASK,
CAPE and JUTTING LITTLE CHIN.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Perfect! I’m off to fight crime as Cleft! THE
BOY CHIN WONDER!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
With my Utility Cleft, I can swing from building
to building!
CUT TO:
SPATULA WOMAN flips a COP over and over with her glowing red power
SPATULA.
SPATULA WOMAN
I like my cops like I like my eggs! Runny!
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 16
TIMMY AS CLEFT (O.S.)
And I like my cops not being flipped around on
a big spatula!
Timmy swings into frame, booting her off
panel.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
I gotta work on my heroic dialogue.
MAYOR (O.S.)
Help! Help!
CUT TO:
MAYOR
You fiend! The Crimson Chin will stop you like
he always does!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
I’d better use the Chin signal!
His cleft acts as a gigantic projector. A Chin signal hits the clouds.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
When his youthful sidekick calls him, he’ll
definitely spring into action!
CUT TO:
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Hey, you’re supposed to spring into action!
Why aren’t you springing?
TIMMY AS CLEFT
THAT! Those are real fictional people in real
fictional danger!
CRIMSON CHIN
You may be right. No more doubts. No more
distractions!
TELEVISION
We now return to... All My Parent’s Offsprings.
CRIMSON CHIN
My Soap!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Fine! If you won’t stop the Bronze Knee Cap, I
will!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 18
Or not. (To Bronze Knee Cap) Couldn’t you
have shaved this thing?
TIMMY AS CLEFT
This is your last chance to surrender!
The Kneecap hits a button with his knee and the Leg shaped rocket
takes off.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
I’m not afraid! The Crimson Chin is still a hero,
right? He’ll save me, right?
CUT TO:
The Chin, still in his undies, tries to pound KETCHUP out of the bottle
and onto a HOT DOG.
CUT TO:
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Well... uh... besides, I’m not in any real trouble,
right? If I were in any REAL danger, my
Godparents would get me out of here... right?
CUT TO:
Cosmo tries to pound KETCHUP out of the bottle and onto a HOT DOG
as Wanda slathers on the RELISH.
COSMO
Stupid Ketchup!
CUT TO:
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 19
INT. - THE COMIC BOOK WORLD - SIMULTANEOUS
The leg shaped rocket hurtles toward the Daily Blabbity. A microphone
pops out of Timmy’s cleft.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Chin, you gotta snap out of it! Those people
need you!
CUT TO:
The Chin, eating ICE CREAM out of the carton, listens to Timmy on a
CHIN-SHAPED SPEAKER.
A look of resolve comes over the Chin’s face. He looks into his empty
ice cream container.
CRIMSON CHIN
What the heck. I’m all out of Vanilla
Wimpberry, anyway.
CUT TO:
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Chin? Chin? OH MAN, THIS IS IT!
The Chin has a change of heart and takes off to save Timmy.
Just before the rocket hits the building, The Chin stops it cold.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Whew! Just in time!
CRIMSON CHIN
That’s what heroes do, Cleft!
CUT TO:
CRIMSON CHIN
Sorry about that “almost letting you explode on
a big, hairy leg” thing.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
No sweat! After all, you saved me!
CRIMSON CHIN
Actually, Timmy, you saved me... from myself.
(beat) Wow, that was shmaltzy. Who did you
say writes my comic book?
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Some 40 year-old dude who lives with his
mom.
CRIMSON CHIN
Any money in it?
TIMMY AS CLEFT
“Lives with his mom.”
CRIMSON CHIN
Right! Lets go kick some bad guy bootie!
The Chin flies off screen. A little JET pops out of Timmy’s cleft and he
follows.
CUT TO:
The Bronze Knee Cap stands over the still-tied-up mayor as the
Crimson Chin lands.
CRIMSON CHIN
That Crimson Chin is SO last issue!
The Chin belts the Kneecap off screen with his Chin.
CUT TO:
The Bronze Knee Cap lands. The Crimson Chin flies towards him.
CRIMSON CHIN
Surrender, evil one!
The Knee Cap plows his knee cap into the Chin, belting him towards
the Daily Blabbity.
CUT TO:
The Chin hurtles towards the building. Timmy flies into frame.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
I got it! I got it!
A gigantic catchers MITT pops out of his Cleft, stopping the Chin from
crashing.
CRIMSON CHIN
Nice use of chin, Cleft!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Thanks. (beat) Look out, Dude!!!!
CUT TO:
The Bronze Knee Cap fires little RAMS-HEADS off of his Knee Cap.
Timmy and the Chin split off in different directions and nimbly dodge
them.
CUT TO:
TIMMY AS CLEFT
He’s the good guy. His name’s on the cover
and that means he wins.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
A comic book.
A gigantic BOXING GLOVE pops out of Timmy’s cleft, knocking the Knee
Cap O.S.
CRIMSON CHIN
You might have a Knee Cap of Bronze, Bronze
Knee Cap... but you’ve always had a jaw made
of glass!
NEXT PANEL: Cleft and the Chin stand on a beaten and crumpled
Bronze Knee Cap. A CROWD behind them Cheers.
TIMMY AS CLEFT
It’s been great working with you, Mr. Chin.
CRIMSON CHIN
The pleasure’s all mine, Timmy. I’m glad we’re
pals. Whether I’m real or not, you’re part of MY
The Fairly OddParents: “Chin Up” by Steve Marmel Final Draft 4/27/00 23
continuity now! After all, every chin needs a
cleft!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
Cool! What’s next?
CRIMSON CHIN
Uh... nothing. It’s the end of the book. See?
CRIMSON CHIN
That’s the “letters to the editor” page, where
geeky comic fans write about how cool I am.
Hey, look, it’s a letter from you!
TIMMY AS CLEFT
I gotta go.
CRIMSON CHIN
You spelled “Chin” wrong...
CUT TO:
ANNOUNCER
And the winner of the costume contest... AND
the very valuable Pretty Pony issues #2 and #3
is...
ANNOUNCER
Wow! What an amazing costume! Whoever
you are, you win!
The crowd goes wild. Chester, AJ, Cosmo and Wanda cheer for Timmy
as the announcer hands Timmy Pretty Pony, ISSUES #2 and #3.
JORGEN
NO!!! PRETTY PONY MUST BE MINE! LET ME
HAVE IT!
A big cartoon MALLET comes out of Timmy’s Cleft and pounds Jorgen in
the head.
