Thomas meets Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius/Script

Opening
(2001 Paramount and Nickelodeon Movies logo shown; opening titles read, "Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies Present an O Entertainment production - Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius".)

(Opening shot: snap to a base of giant satellite dishes at sunrise; tilt down a barbed wire fence to its warning sign. The following text is displayed: "Colorado Tracking Station, 7:26 A.M.". Cut to inside a control room and pan through as a man walks past, a bunch of other men sit at their monitors and work. Cut to a slow pan from behind the mens' heads at the flashing radars, stop on one of them; a bespectacled man is watching it.)

Man: Uh, you'd better have a look at this, sir.

(Cut to frame the man in the front, their bodies tinged in the green glare. Behind him, someone steps up: a robust military captain dressed up in fine fashion. His hair is blonde and in a buzz cut, and his eyes are blue and icy. This is General Abercrombie, whose voice is deep and stern, like a real military officer.)

Abercrombie: Ah... (Close-up of the radar, showing something; he continues o.s.) Commercial flight? (Cut to a profile view of them.) Man: Uh, no. Too fast, sir. (Extreme close-up of Abercrombie's eyes.) Abercrombie: One of our own?

(Cut to a flight monitor on the panel; it displays various flights.)

Man: (from o.s.) Air Force has nothing scheduled.

(Cut back to the two and zoom in on Aborcrombie.)

Abercrombie: We've got ourselves a bogey.

(An alarm light begins to flash and buzz; cut to a close-up of two jets on a plane being fired up. It takes flight into the air to join three others; they fly past a tower and through the sky before splitting up and taking routes of their own through a myriad of clouds. The plane with the number21 on its front flies into view; cut to its armored pilot in the cockpit.)

Pilot: Orange Leader to Delta Group. (Close-up of the radar, zooming in; he continues o.s.) Anticipate visual contact, uh...now.

[Nick Dean skates up on his skateboard]

Nick Dean: Sneak out.

Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen: What?

Nick Dean: You heard me, dweebs. Sneak out.

Carl Wheezer: Yeah, but my parents sorta told me...

Nick Dean: [laughs] Parents? What, are you guys gonna be kids forever? What your parents don't know won't hurt 'em, right?

Jimmy Neutron: But, Nick, sneaking out is so... so... barbaric!

Douglas: He's right, ya know. I don't think their parents would approve of such an idea.

Donald: You're not wrong there, Dougie.

Retroland
[Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen are standing outside the gate to Retroland]

Carl Wheezer: Whoa! It's better than the poster!

Jimmy Neutron: Gentlemen, this will be a night we shan't easily forget.

Sheen Estevez: I don't know what "shan't" means, but let's go!
