NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.) Once upon a time in Smurf Village, happy Smurfs were going about their happy lives completely unaware that not too far away... The PAGE TURNS, unfolding GARGAMEL’S CASTLE.. NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.) ...the evil wizard - Gargamel - was concocting a diabolical plan. A BLUE HAND pulls a tab and a 2D cut-out of GARGAMEL appears. The MUSIC GETS VERY LOUD AND OMINOUS. NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.) The kind of diabolical plan that always is followed by a diabolical laugh. And that plan echoed fear through the mushroom homes of the Smurfs. PULL BACK TO REVEAL NARRATOR SMURF looking annoyed. He turns to THE BAND OF SMURFS. Everyone has a musical instrument except for CRAZY SMURF who is playing his trumpet-mouth. NARRATOR SMURF Guys, guys. If you drown out the narrator, Smooth Smurf, no one’s gonna have any idea what’s going on. The band leader, SMOOTH, responds. SMOOTH (deep baritone voice) That’s cool. We’ll just give you a groove, something bluesy. ALT: SMOOTH We’ll just drop it down on the downbeat, double the bass over the melody and kick it back. Cool as a snow cone in January. NARRATOR (a beat) I-I have no idea what you just said. SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 1A. 1 cont SMOOTH 1 cont We’ll keep it down. (ALT) You shoulda called Background Music if you wanted something soft. But we’ll bring it down. The band quiets down. The Narrator clears his throat and continues as we return to the pop up book. The tab moves back and forth as Gargamel “speaks”... NARRATOR SMURF (DOING GARGAMEL) “I am making my own creation - an irresistible girl - to infiltrate their village and betray the Smurrfs.” The PAGE TURNS and we see Smurfette (with black hair). A cutout of a PAINTBRUSH SLIDES over the picture pulling an overlay into place that turns Smurfette blue. SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 2. 1 cont NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.) 1 cont The Smurfs found Gargamel’s creation and brought her back to their Village, where her wild and naughty nature wreaked havoc. The PAGE TURNS. We see Smurfette in the village, knocking over Painter’s ladder, stomping on Brainy’s glasses, etc. NARRATOR SMURF (V.O.) The Smurfs wanted her gone. But Papa Smurf saw the good in her. The PAGE TURNS, unfolding a scene of PAPA’S MUSHROOM with anxious Smurfs waiting outside. NARRATOR SMURF With love, kindness, playful jokes, more love, delicious fruit pies, long walks, and, of course, a secret magical formula, he turned her into... Smurfette, the darling of Smurf Village. A BLUE HAND pulls a tab. The door to Papa’s mushroom opens revealing the cardboard cutout of SMURFETTE, now BLONDE. A1 SMURF VILLAGE - POND A1 PULL BACK FROM THE BOOK TO FIND -- all the SMURFS huddled around it; rapt as Narrator Smurf turns the next page. NARRATOR SMURF It was a day we will never forget. The day our Smurfette was reborn. Narrator Smurf motions upward. All the Smurfs look up to a cliff just above the POND. SMURFETTE steps into view, her smile beaming. She extends her arms and leaps -- a perfect triple flip with a twist - and plunges into the water. NARRATOR SMURF And the Smurf family had grown one bigger... Smurfs applaud as they stand and gather around the pond, waiting for her to emerge. She rises up from the water (her back to us) She shakes her hair like a shampoo ad, then dramatically turns revealing HER FACE IS SINISTER... NARRATOR SMURF ...until.... SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 2A. A1 cont SMURFETTE A1 cont Stupid, trusting Smurfs! You’re ours now! FATHER!! LIGHTNING STRIKES as GARGAMEL rises up out of the bubbling water behind her. He towers above them all. GARGAMEL Well done, daughter! DUTCH ANGLES as both Gargamel and Smurfette CACKLE as Smurfette’s hair turns black with grey streaks - she’s reverting to her original pale state. PANICKY It’s alive! It’s ALIVE!! HANDY/GREEDY/BAKER She tricked us!/ She’s turning back!/ Smurf for the hills! PANICKY The world as we know it is over! Crazy blows his trumpet-face, SOUNDING THE ALARM. Smurfs flee. Smurfette leaps over them, lands. She has A DRAGON WAND. She BLASTS them with blue energy. ONE BLAST HITS CRAZY, sending him flying toward camera, HORN BLOWING. A LIGHTNING flash. GARGAMEL IS SUDDENLY BEHIND HER. GARGAMEL Yes, my beautiful creation! You truly are daddy’s little girl!! SMASH TO: 2 INT. SMURFETTE’S MUSHROOM - ACTUAL MORNING (END DREAM SEQ.) 2 The real Smurfette bolts upright into frame, sweating. SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 3. 2 cont SMURFETTE 2 cont Ah! REVEAL she’s sitting up in bed with PAPA beside her. She sees him and throws her arms around him. SMURFETTE Oh Papa... He holds her close, pats her back. PAPA There, there. It’s okay. Having that nightmare again? Smurfette, choking back tears, nods. NARRATOR SMURF (O.S.) And so, once again, on the eve of her birthday... PULL BACK TO REVEAL, NARRATOR SMURF at the foot of the bed. NARRATOR SMURF ...poor Smurfette is haunted by horrible dreams of the “who am I?” and “where did I come from” variety, which can push even the sweetest of Smurfs to the brink of insani--! PAPA O-kay, Narrator Smurf. That’ll do. NARRATOR SMURF (exiting) Masking his disappointment, our velvety-voiced Narrator departs to see if any other Smurfs need redundant Smurfentary on their every move... (ALT) And then, Narrator Smurf realized that he wanted to be in this story more and continued talking. Just then - (acting frightened) - a giant S-P-I-D-E-R landed on Papa’s face! SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 3A. 2 cont PAPA 2 cont That’s enough, Narrator Smurf. There is no spider on or near my face. Please be so kind as to leave immediately. He’s gone. Smurfette turns to Papa. SMURFETTE Papa, every year on my birthday, I have these horrible dreams about where I come from -- and it makes me wonder who I really am. PAPA And every year I tell you. It doesn’t matter where you came from. What matters is who you choose to be. (alt:) Who you are is who you choose to be. SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 4. 2 cont Smurfette looks unconvinced. 2 cont PAPA Don’t take this old Smurf’s word for it. Go out there and see for yourself. This is where you belong. 3 EXT. SMURF VILLAGE - SECONDS LATER 3 Preparations are underway for Smurfette’s SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY. All the Smurfs sing the La-La song as they go about their tasks. CLUMSY Wait, because it’s Smurfette’s birthday, let’s sing the birthday song! All the Smurfs nod in agreement and sing. It’s the same La-la song. GROUCHY is hanging a GARGAMEL PINATA from a tree branch. GUTSY A little lower, Grouchy. I want to be able to whack him in the smurfberries. BAKER comes running up to his CAKE, pissed. There’s a BIG CHUNK MISSING. BAKER Hey! Who smurfed a bite out of Smurfette’s birthday cake? (ALT) Hey! Who ate a bite out of Smurfette’s smurfday cake? (alt) Greedy! Why’d you smurf a bite out of Smurfette’s smurfday cake? ANGLE ON GREEDY - his face COVERED IN FROSTING. GREEDY Wasn’t me. (alt) Why are you blaming me? Meanwhile, JOKEY approaches BRAINY at the gift table. JOKEY Here’s my present for Smurfette’s surprise party. SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 4A. 3 cont Jokey offers the gift to Brainy. He doesn’t take it. 3 cont SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 5. 3 cont BRAINY 3 cont C’mon, Jokey. Did you really think that I, the smartest smurf in the village, would fall for your sophomoric gag? Just give me the card. (ALT) C’mon, Jokey. Did you really think I’d fall for that. Just give me the card. Disappointed, Jokey pulls an ENVELOPE from under the ribbon of his present and hands it to Brainy. BOOM!!! The envelope explodes. Brainy’s face is blackened. Jokey laughs. BRAINY Outsmurfed by the old switcheroo. Just then the door to Smurfette’s mushroom begins to open. PANICKY She’s coming!!! HEFTY Code Blue! Code Blue! ALT: HEFTY Code Blue! Code Blue! BRAINY We’re Smurfs, everything is code blue. HEFTY Code Yellow. BRAINY Yellow is soothing. The color of the sun. HEFTY Code Red! Everyone screams and runs, HIDING EVERYTHING. Stashing things behind trees. Covering them with tarps. Whistling nonchalantly. GUTSY ‘at was close, eh, lads? SMURFS II - DOUBLE YELLOW - 6-26-12 5aA. 3 cont BRAINY 3 cont Did I not warn against setting up too early... Smurfette emerges from her mushroom, but they don’t see her yet. BRAINY (CONT’D) ...and having Smurfette show up and ruin everything? HEFTY (re: Brainy always warning) So what else is new? Smurfette is stung, but pretends she didn’t hear..
