Hopps Mansion Mystery/Transcript

(Mewniverse Falls Productions and AnimatedFan195 Productions logos)

(The logos are tinted in dark orange and we fade into a black background)

(We open up with a shot of Hopps Manor in a thunderstorm)

Bonnie Hopps: Stu, I must say, the guest list for this year's party has so much diversity!

Stu Hopps: Yes, a nice mix of millionaires and billionaires. (Swats Badili with a newspaper) Put the oyster fork at an angle! You're not paying attention.

Badili: Yeah, whatever.

(After Badili puts the oyster fork in an angle, Judy appears wearing a sea-foam green dress to her parents)

Bonnie Hopps: Wow, Judy! You look so fancy in that dress.

Judy Hopps: Thank you, mom.

Bonnie Hopps: You're welcome.

Stu Hopps: Honey, this is going to be the best party ever! I can't believe there's something special going on around here.

Bonnie Hopps: You said it, honey.

(Suddenly, the ground begins to shake, while at the table, plates and utensils clatter. The Hopps family and their staff stare and gasp)

Stu Hopps: Oh, no. It's... happening.

(The furniture and dinnerware fly at the unfortunate individuals present, while everyone either ducks or hides underneath tables)

Stu Hopps: You are my possessions! (Swats a plate away) Obey me!

(More things fly at Stu. He screams and ducks underneath a table)

Bonnie Hopps: This is a disaster! The party's in just 24 hours!

Stu Hopps: Surely, there's someone who can handle this sort of nonsense! (Looks at a newspaper and cuts beneath the headline to a picture of Nick warding off a Bewilderbeast dragon from Baloo and Bagheera) And I think I know just the person.

(We go into the opening credits, then we cut to an exterior shot of Nick's house, then interior. Nick is sitting in the living room watching T.V.)

Announcer: You asked for it, you got it! An entire 48-hour marathon of Ghost Harassers on the "Used to Be About History Channel"!

Nick Wilde: Be strong, bladder. (Pats stomach) We're not gonna movie till sunset.

Pigeon Toady: (On T.V.) We interrupt this program with some breaking news!

Nick Wilde: Aww, what?

Darma: (Jumps into armchair besides Nick) It's starting!

Ash: (Jumps to Nick's other side) Turn it up!

Meena: Make room for me! (Jumps in front of all three)

(We cut to Pigeon Toady outside Hopps Manor)

Pigeon Toady: Well, tonight's the night, but I've been out here for days! The Hopps family's annual high-society-shindig-ball-soiree is here! And even though common folk aren't let in, that doesn't stop us from camping out for a peek at the fanciness!

Darma, Ash and Meena: Oooooooooh!

Nick Wilde: Okay, can someone please explain why people care about this?

Meena: It's pretty much the best party of all time. Rich food, richer boys!

Darma: They say each gift basket has a live quail inside!

Ash: (Paws at TV screen) Give me your life, Judy.

Nick Wilde: (Scoffs) Guys, in case you already forgotten, Judy is the girl I didn't care about. (A knock on the door is heard, and Nick gets up to answer it) And that's not just jealousy talking, I'd just hide under the couch after that.

(Nick opens the door to see Judy)

Judy Hopps: I need your help.

Nick Wilde: Yeah, nobody cares.

(Darma, Ash and Meena gasp)

Nick Wilde: See? (A knock on the door is heard again, and he opens it reluctantly)

Judy Hopps: Look, you think it's easy for me to come here? I don't wanna be seeing in this hovel, but there's something haunting Hopps Manor. If you don't help me, the party could be ruined.

Nick Wilde: And why should I trust you? I don't wanna know if you could help me do that just in case I have to figure this out.

Judy Hopps: Just name your price, okay? I'll give you anything!

Darma: Hi, Judy! Excuse us. (Drags Nick by the arm) Nick, don't you see what this means? If you help Judy, you could get us invites to the greatest party of all time!

Nick Wilde: What? Darma, this is Judy we're taking about!

Darma: But it's Ash and Meena's dream!

Ash and Meena: (Starry-eyed, miming rainbows) Dreeeaaaaaaam.

Nick Wilde: Ugh. Fine, I'll bust your ghost. But, in exchange, I need three tickets to the party.

Judy Hopps: Hrrn! You're just lucky I'm desperate.

Darma, Ash and Meena: Wooo! (Chanting) Desperate! Desperate! Desperate!

Darma: Meena, get the glue gun. We're making dresses!

(We cut to an exterior shot of Hopps Manor. A limo drives through the crowds as Shifu pulls the lever to open the main gates and let it through. Hadithi and Thurston open the doors to the house, letting in Nick, Darma, Judy, Ash and Meena)

Judy Hopps: Welcome to Hopps Manor, dorks. Try not to touch anything.

Darma, Ash and Meena: (Misc. exclamations of wonder)

Darma: Everything's so fancy! Fancy floors, fancy plants-- (gasps) fancy red panda! (Rubs Shifu's face)

Shifu: Mm, yes. Very good, miss.

Ash: The rumors were true. (Holds up gift bag, live quail pops out, followed by three quail chicks)

(Darma, Ash and Meena run off giggling)

Stu Hopps: Ah, if it isn't the fox of the hour! Hopefully you can help us with our little... situation, before the guests arrive in an hour.

Nick Wilde: I'll do my best.

Stu Hopps: Splendid! Judy, take our guest to the "problem room" and, uh... he's not wearing that, is he?

(Camera zooms away revealing Nick cleaning his teeth with his finger and with his shirt partially in his pants)

Judy Hopps: I'm on it.

(We cut to Nick emerging from a dressing room in a tuxedo)

Nick Wilde: Ugh. It's like this collar is strangling me. Who do you guys think you're impersonating with this stuff?

Judy Hopps: Um, everyone. (Ties Nick's bowtie) You wouldn't understand. High standards are what making the Hopps family great.

Nick Wilde: Funny, I was thinking about finding the town strange before I went here, though. (Fiddles with a picture frame's tassel)

Judy Hopps: (Off-screen) Don't touch that!

(We cut to overhead view of the ballroom)

Meena: (Picks up large book) Oh, wow, guys. It's the guest list! (Opens book while Darma and Ash approach) Whoa, check out this hottie!

Ash: Horton von Fundshauser! He's an elephant baron from Austria!

Darma: Forget the quail, I'm putting him in my guest basket.

Meena: Hold up, ladies. I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I think this pachyderm is out of our league.

Ash: Meena is right. He's a white whale. Haunting him will destroy us.

Darma: There are tons of cute animals coming. Let's swear a sisters' truce not to waste time on Horton. (All place hands together)

Ash: Deal!

Meena: Deal!

Darma: Deal!

(Darma, Ash and Meena laugh nervously)
