TIMMY / CHESTER / AJ
CRASH NEBULA ON ICE!

TIMMY
See? No problem!!
CHESTER
We believe you! Later, Timmy!
AJ
Get the tickets or we'll hate you
forever!!!
TV ANNOUNCER
This just in...I lied. The actual number of
tickets left is three.
TIMMY
What???
Timmy grabs the PHONE and starts dialing frantically. COSMO AND WANDA
pop in next to him.
WANDA
Hey, Timmy! Whatcha doing?
COSMO
He's playing the dial and hang up game!
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 4
TIMMY
Can't talk! Must dial!
SFX: Busy signal. Timmy pushes down on the receiver and dials again.
Cosmo is intrigued.
COSMO
And hang up! I wanna play!
SFX: Busy signal. Timmy hangs up and dials again. Cosmo is transfixed.
TIMMY
I told the guys I'd get tickets to Crash
Nebula on Ice!
WANDA
The once in a life time, skating
spectacular?
TIMMY
I've gotta get through!
Timmy dials.
COSMO
Dial...
TIMMY
Awright!
COSMO
(re: The phone) And hang up!
TIMMY
WAAAAAAGH!
Timmy dials again... Only to get a busy signal. He repeats dialing and hanging
up over and over again.
COSMO
...dial... and hang up... Dial...
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 5
MATCH DISSOLVE:
Timmy, exhausted, his dialing finger broken, bent and bruised, continues
(albeit slowly) to dial through. It's busy, still.
COSMO
And hang up. (beat) It never gets boring!
DISSOLVE TO:
DISSOLVE TO:
The place is dimly lit and ominous. Timmy is with Chester and AJ, who are
pissed off. They approach a TOILET.
CHESTER
I can't believe you didn't get us tickets,
Timmy!
AJ
We're gonna hate you forever.
TIMMY
(cocky) Don't worry, guys. There are
plenty of tickets left! You just gotta know
who to ask!
FRANCIS
Francis' Toilet of Tickets. How may I help
you?
TIMMY
Three of your best seats for Crash Nebula
On Ice?
FRANCIS
Fifteen hundred dollars.
TIMMY
I, uh, Meant three of your worst seats.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 6
FRANCIS
Fifteen hundred dollars.
TIMMY
What? But that's like...
AJ
Five hundred bucks a seat.
TIMMY / CHESTER
I knew that. / Right.
TIMMY
We don't have that kind of money!
Francis shoves Timmy into Chester and AJ, knocking them over like bowling
pins.
FRANCIS
That's for free.
Francis hits the flush handle again and swirls back down the toilet.
FRANCIS
Have a nice ticket-free day.
CHESTER
WE CAN'T MISS THAT SHOW! The
announcer who lied said it's a skating
spectacular!
TIMMY
Dude, relax. I will get us those tickets.
AJ
Oh really? Are you going to make three
tickets appear by magic?
TIMMY
(smacks head)
Duh!
DISSOLVE TO:
Timmy stands next to Wanda. Cosmo, still dials and hangs up. SFX: The line
is busy
COSMO
Dial...
TIMMY
What do you mean I can't just make
three tickets appear like magic?
WANDA
Timmy, it's sold out! If we gave you
three of the tickets, it means we'd be
taking them away from somebody else
who already has them!! (off Timmy's "I
don't care" glare) And that would be
stealing.
(off his glare) Which is bad.
TIMMY
Well, can't you just make three extra
theater seats??
WANDA
That would violate the fire code!
TIMMY
I have to buy those tickets from Francis! I
wish I had 1500 dollars.
WANDA
That's counterfeiting.
(off glare) Which is bad.
TIMMY
Darn it! I'll have to do it the old
fashioned way...
COSMO
Blackmail?
WANDA
Bad. How do most ten year olds make
money?
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 8
TIMMY
A lemonade stand... Which is BAD! There
is no chance you would ever catch me
doing anything as dorky as selling any
stupid old -
DISSOLVE TO:
TIMMY
Lemonade! 25 Cents! Lemonade 25
cents... Lemonade...
Finally, MOM walks by. She spots Timmy's glum expression and stops.
MOM
How's the lemonade business, Timmy?
TIMMY
Terrible. Nobody's buying any. I spent five
to ten minutes making this stuff.
MOM
Well, I wouldn't want your self-esteem to
be crushed. I'll be your first customer!
Mom plunks down a QUARTER and takes a sip. She turn GREEN... And does a
massive spit take.
MOM
And your last!! This stuff you made
yourself is horrible!! (takes quarter)
Give me that back!
VICKY
Hello, Mrs. Turner! Would you like to try
some of Grandma Vicky's old style
country lemonade?
MOM
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 9
DIFFERENT ANGLE: Vicky opens a TRAP DOOR in the ground where THREE
KIDS are making lemonade. They look up and squint.
KID #1
The light...It burns!
KID #2
Have you come to rescue us?
Vicky grabs a GLASS OF LEMONADE and hands Mrs. Turner the glass.
VICKY
Here you go, Mrs. Turner!
MOM
Mmmm! It's delicious!! It's so much
more tasty than that rank bile Timmy
made!! More please!
TIMMY
It's supposed to taste good, too?
COSMO
Capitalism can such be a cruel mistress.
(off Wanda's glare)
Not that I have one.
COSMO
Let's play the dial and hang-up game!!!
DISSOLVE TO:
The place is a mess. Timmy has been trying various lemonade formulas.
Cosmo and Wanda hover nearby. Timmy mixes a batch.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 10
TIMMY
Finally, I think I've found the secret
ingredient that will make my lemonade
so tasty, I'm sure to make fifteen
hundred bucks!
Timmy takes a sip. He spits it out - right onto Cosmo. Who spits it right back
out.
TIMMY
Okay, cheese is not the secret ingredient.
TIMMY
Taco sauce. (spits) Peas. (spits)
Gravy. (spits) Chocolate laxative.
TIMMY
Darn it, I'm running out of ingredients!
(the laxative hits) EEEP! Bathroom!!!
WANDA
Well, you're not gonna find it in there! (to
Cosmo) I don't understand why he
doesn't just wish for sweeter lemonade?
COSMO
I can do that!
WIDEN TO REVEAL - Cosmo takes off his SOCKS and dips them in Timmy's
glass. It sparkles with magic.
WANDA
I said sweeter, not sweatier!
COSMO
Really? I thought you said "Dunk your
sweaty socks in Timmy's lemonade!"
TIMMY
Mmmm! Hey! This is great! I wish I had a
pitcher of this!!
Cosmo and Wanda each gesture to grant the wish, but before they can...
<ZING!> A PITCHER appears. Cosmo and Wanda look at each other quizzically.
They didn't do that. Cosmo shrugs and dips his socks in.
COSMO
The secret ingredient is feet!
TIMMY
Cool!
CUT TO:
AJ and Chester each hold GLASSES of Lemonade. They taste the new formula.
Cosmo and Wanda watch as BIRDS.
TIMMY
So? What do you think?
AJ
Stupendous. (To Chester) That means
great.
CHESTER
Duh. Show off. Sometimes I wish I was as
smart as you think you are.
AJ turns his back to the boys to pour himself a cup as Chester's lemonade
glass GLOWS. MAGIC circles around Chester's head. Chester's forehead swells
up. He's extremely brilliant. He fashions a time-travel BELT from GRASS, a
PAPER CLIP and GUM. He hits the button and starts to fade away.
CHESTER
I've just invented the time-travel belt!! If
all goes well, I'll see you guys in the
future!
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 12
Chester fades away and drops his cup. Timmy picks it up and looks at it
quizzically.
TIMMY
Wow! He's smart and gone. (re: the cup)
How'd that happen?
AJ
Who cares? This lemonade is so great I wish
everybody knew about it!
Magic sparkles surround AJ. BANG! A VAN with a FLAT TIRE pulls to a stop right
in front of the stand. Exhaust FUMES waft throughout the scene. The
diminutive CHET UBETCHA jumps out of what we can now see is a TV NEWS
VAN.
CHET UBETCHA
I'm Chet UBetcha saying We'll never get back
to the studio in time.
CHET UBETCHA
This is Chet UBetcha saying: I'll do the
news right from here.
CHET UBETCHA
Good afternoon Dimmsdale, I'm Chet
UBetcha. A raging forest fire (cough, cough)
- hang on a moment -
(sips lemonade) This just in - Fire Shmire!
This is the greatest lemonade ever!
CUT TO:
Timmy and AJ are swamped with customers. A CUSTOMER drains his glass.
CUSTOMER
I wish I had more.
CUSTOMER
Now, that's service!
TIMMY
So, how are we doing?
AJ
We're going to see Crash Nebula! We're
going to see Crash Nebula!
TIMMY
Dude, at this rate, we're gonna OWN
Crash Nebula. You man the fort, I'm
gonna get some more sweaty socks for
my lemonade.
AJ
What?
TIMMY
I mean make six more sweaty pitchers
of... Look, a monkey!
AJ wheels around.
AJ
WHERE?
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 14
CUT TO:
The price is now "One cent or best offer." A TUMBLEWEED blows across the
screen. A LITTLE OLD LADY customer walks up.
VICKY
(perking up) Yes?
VICKY
That's it! Turner is going down!
The old lady exits. Vicky stomps off. A second later a head pops out of the
trap door and looks around. Two of the kids run like hell.
KIDS
We're free! FREE!!!!
One last kid comes out of the stand. He holds his eyes from the light of the
sun.
KID #3
Free! (beat) My eyes... can't see...
KID #2
Jeremy!
KID #3
Go on without me!
KIDS
OKAY!
KID #3
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 15
AAA!
CUT TO:
Timmy opens the GARAGE DOOR. The LIGHT from outside hits Cosmo's face.
COSMO
My eyes! They burn! And they're green!
We see that Timmy has transformed the garage into a LEMONADE FACTORY. A
BIG MACHINE smooshes LEMONS into a pitcher. They go down the CONVEYER
to a SUGAR STATION then WATER is added. At the end, COSMO'S SOCKS get
dipped into the pitcher. The pitcher barely sparkles. He dips them in a second
pitcher. No sparkle at all.
TIMMY
Uh-oh. Your socks have lost that magical
stink.
WANDA
And that's bad, how?
TIMMY
Less talkie! More sweatie!
And Cosmo puts on TWO MORE SOCKS and starts pedaling like mad and lifting
the weights. He starts sweating... And the socks start getting those little
"stink" lines.
COSMO
I have dreams too, you know!
TIMMY
(to Wanda)
We should leave him to his work.
POOF! Wanda turns into your garden variety HOUSE CAT as she and Timmy exit. The
camera follows them as they walk and talk. They pass a massive LINE OF PEOPLE, who
are holding and drinking their lemonade.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 16
TIMMY
Man, this was a great idea! I can't
believe how fast we're making money!
WANDA
Yeah, but I can't help but think Cosmo's
magic sweat might cause some sort of
weird side effect!
TIMMY
I'm sure it's no big deal.
Timmy walks up to the stand where AJ is selling a glass to a LITTLE BOY who
finishes his lemonade.
LITTLE KID
I wish my dog was here! He used to love
lemonade.
LITTLE KID
Speedy!
He lets the dog lap up some lemonade. As they walk away, the dog sees
Wanda, as a cat, barks and POOF! It regrows it's FOURTH LEG.
LITTLE KID
It's a miracle!
TIMMY
Did you see that? Cosmo's sweat made
my lemonade magic!
WANDA
Bad.
TIMMY
What do you mean, bad? Anything that
drinks Cosmo's sweat gets its wish granted!
What's bad about that?
Speedy chases the Wanda cat around the corner of the house.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 17
TIMMY
I mean, besides that?
Dad and Mom stand on the lawn, each holding glasses of lemonade. Dad
takes a great big sip.
TIMMY
Dad! No! Put that down!
DAD
Are you mad? It's tangy and refreshing!
DAD
Man, this is good! If only there was some
way I wouldn't have to go back to work, I'd
stay here all day and drink this lemon-
icious concoction!
Suddenly, a gigantic Godzilla - sized LIZARD appears and eats the building
whole.
DAD
Hey! That's my office! Cool! I'm
unemployed! Which means we're broke!
Come on, Honey, let's go frolic in
impoverished denial!
MOM
Okay!
TIMMY
Wow. My dad's ripped!
Timmy looks out and sees - a giant lizard stomping around, various space
ships POOFING into the sky... buildings changing into flowers, the sun
becoming the moon and becoming the sun again. Policemen turn into
clowns... Etc.
TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 18
WANDA
(panting as she runs)
Little busy right now!
TIMMY
Oh man! Gotta find Cosmo...
COSMO
Only... Enough body fluids to make one
more glass...
TIMMY
I wish all the lemonade I made was gone!
You hear me? Gone!
COSMO
(to tired to do anything)
Sleepy. Tired. Stinky.
CHET UBETCHA
This is Chet UBetcha saying "I'm the
tallest newscaster alive!"
The Dog, now wearing a JET PACK, flies through scene, chasing the Wanda cat.
TIMMY
Oh my gosh! Everybody's wishes are coming
true! What am I gonna do?
TIMMY
I'm gonna fight lemonade, with
lemonade.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 19
Timmy dramatically grabs the cup, just as the giant lizard rips open the top of
his garage.
TIMMY
AAAA!
Timmy takes a sip. POOF! The lizard pops down to the size of an iguana and
lands on the cup. The lizard takes a sip from the cup. POOF! It's gigantic
again!
LIZARD
RAAAAAA!!!!!
TIMMY
AAAA!
Timmy takes another sip. POOF! The lizard turns back into an iguana...
Wearing a MUZZLE.
TIMMY
Gotta watch that.
CUT TO:
TIMMY
I wish that was gone!
TIMMY
I wish they were back on their planet!
OFFICER
You know scalping's illegal. Those tickets
belong to the world.
CHET U BETCHA
I'm Chet UBetcha and I am shrinking.
TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 20
SIP! BIG POOF! Everything is finally back to normal. AJ walks up, carrying a
massive STACK OF CASH.
AJ
Timmy! I don't know how I got it, but
look! A big stack of cash!
TIMMY
More than enough for our tickets! Cool!
And by this time tomorrow, we'll be
ringside at Crash Nebula!
AJ
On Ice!
They hi-five and AJ leaves. Timmy, holding the stack of cash, smiles.
TIMMY
Hmmm. There's a little sip left. All's well
that ends well.
VICKY
There you are, Twerp! Let's have a sip of
this stuff that everybody says is so great!
TIMMY
Vicky, no!
SIP! The money POOFS out of Timmy's hand and into Vicky's.
VICKY
What a coincidence! I was just thinking about
this! See ya, Twerp!
DISSOLVE TO:
A still depressed Timmy sits as Cosmo is back to playing the "Dial and Hang
up" game. He dials...
COSMO
Dial...
COSMO
And hang up! Wee!!!
WANDA
Cheer up, Sweetie! I'm sure Chester and
AJ will understand!
TIMMY
What? That I lost the money for the tickets and
now we can't go to Crash Nebula?
Cosmo dials...
COSMO
Dial...
COSMO
And hang up! Weee!
He dials...
COSMO
Dial...
COSMO
A person! Darn it!
TIMMY
GIVE ME THAT!!! (into phone)
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 22
TIMMY
YES! Thank you, Karma!
COSMO
And hang up!
POOF! Wanda covers Cosmo's hand with an OVEN MITT. He can't pick up the
phone.
COSMO
Awww...
DISSOLVE TO:

CHORUS
Crash Nebula! On Ice! Crash Nebula!
ON TIMMY, AND AJ
AJ
Way to go, Timmy!
TIMMY
(to Cosmo and Wanda)
Man! After going through all that, I actually got
the tickets the right way.
The Fairly OddParents: “Nectar Of the Odds” final draft script by Jack Thomas 10.4.01 23
CHESTER
I've come from the future to warn you all
that...
TIMMY
Uh... Guys?
Cosmo and Wanda raise their wands and POOF! Chester's head deflates to
normal size...
CHESTER

That's Crash Nebula!
