TIMMY
No! Wait!
CLOSE ON TIMMY, who suddenly finds himself unable to move forward. WIDEN: FRANCIS
has him by the back of the shirt.
FRANCIS
Bark like a wiener dog and I won't make your face
hurt, Turner.
TIMMY
<barking for his life>
FRANCIS
That's not a wiener dog. That's a Norwegian
elkhound.
WIPE TO:
PAN FROM THE CHALKBOARD where it says "TEST TODAY!" to CROCKER, at his desk,
where Timmy -- now with a BLACK EYE -- hands him his completed TEST. Crocker grades
it instantly.
CROCKER
Heh. Good news, Turner! You've taken "F" to a
new level! I'm going to give you a "Super F!"
WIPE TO:
ANGLE ON Timmy, still with one black eye, is at the PLATE. His TEAMMATES are out in
the field. The COACH is nearby. Timmy whiffs at a pitch.
COACH

TIMMY
I can't! It's all swollen!
COACH
Then use the other one! Because we're not
leaving till you hit something!
FORMER ANGLE – the outfield now has little TENTS on all the players'
positions.
COACH
Francis! Get in there and hit something!
FRANCIS
You wait your whole life to hear those words.
TIMMY
<yelps like a Norwegian elkhound>
WIPE TO:
ON FRONT DOOR - Timmy -- with TWO BLACK EYES -- stands next to VICKY
as MOM and DAD walk out the door.
MOM
Well, we're off to read bedtime stories to
underprivileged, dyslexic dolphins!
DAD
We're going to read "The Little Dolphin Who
Cried...(makes a long, squeaky dolphin noise)".
MOM
Have fun, you two!
VICKY
Oh, don't worry, we're gonna redefine fun!
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 5
TIMMY
But I'm all out of eyes to blacken...
<Door slam> Vicky grabs Timmy and drags him off with an evil grin.
WIPE TO:
WANDA
Do you have any threes?
COSMO
Nope.
He waves his wand and his whole hand becomes threes. He hands 'em over.
COSMO
Now I do!
VICKY (O.S.)
BED!!!
Timmy kicks the door open. With TWO BLACK EYES, he looks like hell.
WANDA
Hey, Hon! Tough day?
COSMO
Or are those the two black eyes of a job well
done?
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 6
TIMMY
Today was horrifying...
TIMMY
And I could have avoided all of it! If I'd been on
time this morning, I would've missed Francis! And
if Francis hadn't knocked me silly, I could've aced
that test!
WANDA
And that black eye made it impossible to hit
in baseball practice!
TIMMY
Exactly!
ON TV SCREEN – Timmy plays his game, and suddenly Timmy's character dies - <GAME
SFX>. Cosmo and Wanda stand near the game console as Timmy's hand enters and hits
the clearly-marked "RESET" BUTTON.
TIMMY
It's too bad LIFE doesn't have a reset button.
WANDA
What do you mean, Timmy?
TIMMY
If life had a resent button, I could just reset it,
and start my day back at the beginning!
WANDA
Yes, but...
TIMMY
Hey! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
COSMO
Never cook bacon with your shirt off?
LONG PAUSE
TIMMY
No... I wish my life had a reset button!
TIMMY'S POV – he lifts his arm to look at the new COSMO "DIGITAL RESET
WATCH" on his wrist.
WANDA
There! A Cosmo Do-over watch!
COSMO
Whoever wears me can re-do any event!
WANDA
Whenever you don't like how something turns
out, just set the watch back the amount of
time you want to go back. Then hit the
button and...presto!
TIMMY
Cool! Lemme try! Let's go back...two
minutes!
Timmy carefully sets back The Cosmo Watch. He hits the button
COSMO
Re do!
("RE DO" WILL SIGNIFY ACTIVATING THE WATCH FROM HERE ON)
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO

TIMMY
...not two seconds!
COSMO
Re do!
WANDA
No!
TIMMY
I said two minutes, not two seconds!
COSMO
(panting) So... sorry...
WANDA
Go easy, Honey. This trick is tough, and takes
a lot of magic.
TIMMY
Then maybe I need to really test it.
COSMO
(still panting) Let me... put my...lungs back...
in my...chest...

CHET U. BETCHA
...leaving hundreds injured, and thousands
without food OR water.
VICKY
Ha! I love a happy ending!
INT. HALLWAY - TIMMY, COSMO and WANDA see Vicky watching TV – Wanda
gestures to him: go on!
TIMMY
Oh well. Here goes nothing.
(calls down) HEY VICKY!
VICKY
Hey, I thought I told you to go to bed, twerp!
TIMMY
I can't sleep! I keep having nightmares about
your BIG BUBBLE BUTT!
VICKY
What? You are SO dead!!!
Vicky Angrily stands up to kill Timmy, and thereby end the series. WIDE –
Timmy reaches for the reset button.
COSMO
Re do!
Timmy, Wanda and Cosmo are back to where they were: watching Vicky watch TV.
CHET U. BETCHA
...leaving hundreds injured, and thousands
without food OR water.
VICKY
HA! I love a happy ending!!
TIMMY
This is the greatest!! (to Cosmo and
Wanda)All right, guys, let's redo this whole
day...and let's redo it right!
COSMO
Re do!
The bus is there just like before. We see "Timmy" from behind and see
Francis walk up to him.
FRANCIS
Bark like a wiener dog and I... huh?
ANGLE ON: Timmy, Cosmo (as the watch) and Wanda... peeking out from
behind a TREE.
TIMMY
It's payback time, mutton head...
WIDER ON SCENE – The bus leaves, Francis walks by, Timmy winds up and throws...! ON
A NEARBY TREE, the balloon misses Francis by a mile and hits the tree. <Disappointing
splat>. Timmy hits the button...
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
COSMO
Re do!
WANDA
Wow.
COSMO
Yeah, I know. Girls who can't throw are going to be
told "they throw like a Timmy."
TIMMY
Shhh!
TIMMY
I did it! I Nailed Francis!!!
QUICK CUTS - TWO KIDS stop walking. A BIRD stops singing. A MAN on his front lawn is
holding a running HOSE; the WATER stops flowing. The Earth stops spinning. FRANCIS
glares at Timmy, VEINS popping out on his forehead. He charges. Timmy calmly keeps
his finger on his reset watch.
TIMMY
Not today, butter-head.
COSMO
Re do!
Francis runs again. At the exact right moment, Timmy moves out of the way.
Francis <SLAMS> into the tree behind Timmy.
TIMMY
Tree... Good.
COSMO
(tired) Re do!
Francis runs again. At the exact right moment, Timmy moves out of the way.
Francis slams into a PIE.
TIMMY
Pie... Better.
COSMO
(even more tired) Re do!
Francis runs again. At the exact right moment, Timmy moves out of the way.
Francis slams a hanging BEEHIVE. The BEES swarm around him, start
stinging and chase him OS.
FRANCIS
Ow! Ouch! OW! Owch! Ow!
TIMMY
Bees? Keeper.
WIPE TO:
CROCKER
(scribbles on paper)
I'm going to give you a "Super F!"
COSMO
(really tired) Re do!
Timmy hands Crocker his test again. Crocker looks at it and pauses.
CROCKER
(scribbles on paper)
D! Which is short for "Don't get your hopes
up for a high paying career."
COSMO
Re do!
CROCKER
B! As in, "But you're not supposed to be this
smart..."
COSMO
Re do!
CROCKER
A? As in...hmm... I give so few "A's." I have
no prepared sarcasm.
TIMMY
YAAAAAY!
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 14
Timmy proudly shows the test to the exhausted Cosmo watch and Wanda
who is a PENCIL in his pocket.
DISSOLVE TO:
COACH
Amazing! And what better way to show our
adoration by having Francis give you a piggy
back ride home?
FRANCIS
Huh?
WIPE TO:
Francis, slinks away bee-stung (from before) and hunchbacked. Timmy, with
Cosmo still on his wrist, waves good bye. Cosmo's completely exhausted.
Wanda pops in.
TIMMY
Wow! I'm gonna redo everything for the rest
of my life!
WANDA
I dunno, Timmy. Cosmo looks horrible!
COSMO
(woozy, delirious) No... it's okay... I can do
this...
DISSOLVE TO:
MOM

DAD
We're going to read "The Little Dolphin Who Cried

COSMO
Re do!
DAD
(Long, squeaky dolphin noises)
COSMO
Re do!
DAD
(Long squeaky dolphin noises)
TIMMY
Okay. That one was more annoying to me.
MOM
Have fun you two!
VICKY
Oh, don't worry, we're gonna redefine fun!
TIMMY
And I'm going to redefine your redefinition...
Vicky tries to use Timmy's teeth as a can opener but this time, when she
opens the can, spring-loaded PLASTIC SNAKES pop out!
COSMO
Re do!
She's hanging Timmy on the laundry line, but this time as she scoots Timmy across the
bottom line, there's a PIE attached the top side of the clothes line. WHAP! It smacks
Vicky in the side of the face.
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 16
COSMO
Re floo!
VICKY
AAAA!
COSMO
Flee Floo!
Timmy gives Vicky her a pedicure with one hand, while he fills her shoes with GLUE and
glues them to the floor with the other hand.
TIMMY
All done, Bubble Butt!
COSMO
Blee bloo.
VICKY
Why you, soon to be dead boy, I'm gonna-
Timmy runs away. Vicky jumps in her shoes to give chase, but they won't
move and she just falls forward on her face. Timmy, of course, finds this
amusing to no end.
TIMMY
Victory is sweet! But repeated victories are
awesome!
COSMO
(woozy) And tiring! Can we take a break?
TIMMY
Yeah, it's time for me to get ready for bed,
anyway.
Timmy takes off the exhausted Cosmo watch and goes to his bathroom with
Wanda to wash up. Vicky, shoes still glued to pieces of FLOORBOARDS,
clomps into frame.
VICKY
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 17
COSMO
(dozing off) Twirpy-dirp... snirp.
VICKY
And speaking of time, I'll start by taking your
talking watch.
Vicky grabs the Cosmo watch and walks away fiddling with it.
COSMO
Wha- Hey! That tickles! Re do!
VICKY
And speaking of time, I'll start by taking your
stupid talking watch.
VICKY
Whoa! That was weird! Deja Vu!
TIMMY
Wanda! What are we gonna do? What if she
accidentally--
COSMO (O.S.)
Re do.
Soon Timmy's redoing all his torture, reliving his moments of terror in new
and interesting ways.
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 18
Back to using Timmy's teeth as a can opener: the moment when Timmy's
teeth sink into the can repeats three times. This time it's a can of "Super
Strong Sardines." Vicki gets a short partial comment in each time.
VICKY
This / seems / familiar
Timmy, on the clothes line, gets hit with the pie. Timmy bends over to give
Vicky her pedicure, she drops sardines down the back of his pants.
VICKY
Oh, Mr. Whiskers!
MR. WHISKERS walks in, takes one sniff and leaps for Timmy's butt!! Timmy
makes a run for the front door! He opens it to find a jillion and five cats
waiting for him. He turns to run-
WIDE ON THE TURNER HOME as it bounces around like crazy, as the cats
chase Timmy around inside.
CATS (O.S.)
Mroww!! FFfft!! MRroooww!
CATS
Mrrrow!!! FFft!!!
VICKY
I'm enjoying all this so much, it seems as though
I've done it all before!
TIMMY
<repeated yelps of pain!>
VICKY
That sounds like a Norwegian Elkhound!
Vicky walks into the house. Wanda turns into a FIRE HOSE and douses the
cats AND Timmy. The cats sulk off, wet and pissed.
TIMMY
Wanda! You gotta make it so Vicky can't use
the watch!
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 19
WANDA
I can't - whoever wears the watch is in
control!
VICKY
What are they doing home?
Timmy runs in and looks around. The house is a total mess!!! Mom and Dad
ENTER and drop their THINGS in surprise.
MOM
What happened here?
DAD
Did you let a jillion cats chase our son while
he ran through this house with sardines in his
pants??
VICKY
Uh... yes?
DAD
You are so fired!
COSMO
Yippee!
VICKY
Shhh!
COSMO
Re do!
MOM
What happened here?
VICKY
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 20
DAD
Son, how many times have I warned you about
staging pay per view events when your mother
and I are not home? That's hilarious and a great
money making idea! I'm raising your allowance.
VICKY
Guess again!
COSMO
ReDo!
FLIP BACK!
DAD
That's not funny and a poor fiscal decision!
You're grounded for a week!
REDO
DAD
A month!
REDO
DAD
(dolphin noises again) Which is dolphin for you're
grounded the rest of your life!
DISSOLVE TO:
TIMMY
Oh, man! She's figured out how the watch works! If
I don't get it back, I'm toast!
WANDA
Next time, you should make sure gadgets like
that only work for you.
TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 21
TIMMY
...that only works for me!
TIMMY
Now, I'll just re-do the part where Vicky took
my Cosmo watch.
INT. BATHROOM
Timmy flashes in. Vicky's already there wearing the Cosmo watch.
VICKY/TIMMY
Hey! What are you doing here?
TIMMY
Not this time.
He uses his watch. REDO. He is still in the living room but now Vicky is just
entering with a CAN of sardines.
WANDA
Sorry, Timmy, as long as she has the Cosmo watch
she can redo things just as fast as I do!
REDO!
WANDA
I do!
REDO!
WANDA
I do!
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 22
REDO!
WANDA
I can!
INT. KITCHEN
CUT TO:
INT. BACKYARD
The pie on the clothesline is about to hit Vicky. She uses her watch. And is
gone.
TIMMY
Darn it!
VICKY
Give it up, Twerp. I am going to torture you
forever with my amazing "Do it Over" watch.
COSMO
Must sleep before big game.
TIMMY
(holding up his watch)
Dream on! You have last year's model. Your
batteries are already going out! My new improved
model's got an atomic battery that never runs
down and... uh is made of twenty-nine carat gold
and... um... Is-
VICKY
Already on my wrist.
VICKY
Psyche!
The Fairly OddParents: “Deja Vu" final script by Tracy Berna and Jack Thomas 8.15.01 23
COSMO
Ow!
VICKY
Catch ya later, Twerp!
She tosses the Cosmo watch into the TRASH CAN and runs out.
COSMO
Hey! Come back with my wife!
TIMMY
Don't worry, Cosmo! The Wanda watch doesn't
work on anyone but me. Do you think you can
focus for one more re-do?
COSMO
(out of it) Whatever you need General
Eisenhower! Count Von Zeppelin...
Bartholemew J.
TIMMY
Close enough. I want to reset back to the
time when I asked for the reset watch. That
way, I can prevent this whole crazy day from
ever happening.
TIMMY
If life had a resent button, I could just reset it, and
start my day back at the beginning!
WANDA
Yes, but...
TIMMY
Hey! Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
TIMMY
Good! Neither am I! Whew! I am glad that is
over.
WANDA
Me too, Sweetie. But at least you learned that
instead of wishing your mistakes undone, it's
better to learn from them.
COSMO
Don't I know it. Let's celebrate! I know the
perfect thing.
He poofs up a SIZZLING PAN of FRYING BACON on a STOVE and poofs off his
shirt.
COSMO
Who... Ow.. wants... Ow... bacon?
Wanda shakes her head as Cosmo keeps getting burned by bacon grease
and Timmy goes back to his game.
THE END
