[Whistling]

Messy, a furry blue monster with a red nose and a blue tail, whistles.

He says, LET'S SKI-DOODLE, OKIDOODLE!

[Upbeat music plays]

Messy hops into a white and blue convertible, Okidoodle. He presses a green button on the dashboard.

Singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO.

Messy sings, FIND OUT WHAT YOU WANT
TO KNOW.

The singers sing, LET'S ALL GO TO OKIDO.

Messy drives through the countryside past a pond and down a road with dancing trees.

He sings, OKIDO, OKIDO.

The singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO.

Messy drives through Okido, a large city with tall, colourful buildings.

He sings, ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT
TO KNOW.

Messy drives onto a loop de loop and underwater.

He sings, COME ALONG AND SAY HELLO.
LET'S GO SEE OUR FRIENDS!

Messy runs into a cloud shaped flying ship, the cloud ship. Inside, he joins a blue haired boy who wears a striped, blue shirt and blue hat.

Messy shouts, FELIX!

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

A red haired girl wearing red overalls and a red hat waves to Messy.

Messy shouts, ZOE!

Zoe high-fives Messy.

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

Messy cheers, ZIM, ZAM, ZOOM!

The singers sing, IN OKIDO.

Zim, who has a square shaped body and computer face appears with Zam, a green triangle, and Zoom, a pink creature. Zam’s science experiment explodes, filling the room with smoke.

Messy sings, BA-BA-LA-LA, BOOM-BOOM!

In Okido, Messy dances down a street with his friends.

The singers sing, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO,
LET'S ALL GO TO OKIDO.
FIND OUT WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW.

Messy looks through a magnifying glass.

He sings with the others, MESSY GOES TO OKIDO!

Zoom transforms into a screen that reveals the title, Messy Goes to Okido. Messy jumps beside the screen and smiles.

[Thunder crashing]

In a living room, through a door to the back yard, lightning flashes. The episode title reads, A Case of the Lightnings. Written by Neil Bennun.

Messy says, OOH, OOH, OOH!

He lies in a pillow fort on the couch.

He says, FLASH!
BOOM!
OH!

[Messy giggling]

Messy says, HELLO!
THIS MUST BE THE NOISIEST
WEATHER I'VE EVER HEARD!
BUT I'M NOT SCARED.
NOPE, NOPE-ITY NOPE.

Lightning flashes.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy hides in the pillow fort.

He says, OOH, WHY DOES THE SKY KEEP
FLASHING?
HOW CAN THE SKY BE SO NOISY?

Lightning flashes.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy says, WHEN YOU NEED TO KNOW, GO TO
OKIDO!

[Magical music plays]

A green and white tunnel transports Messy to Okido, where he falls through the sky onto spring platforms and off a trampoline onto the ground behind Felix and Zoe who sit in chairs.

Messy says, HELLO, ZOE!

Zoe says, HELLO, MESSY!

Messy says, HELLO, FELIX!

Felix says, HI, MESSY!

Messy runs in front of Zoe and Felix. It starts to rain on him.

Messy says, WHAT A WET, RAINY DAY.
LET'S GO INSIDE!

The rain follows Messy as he starts to walk away.

[Zoe and Felix giggling]

Messy says, HUH?
THIS WEATHER IS…

The rain follows him to a bush.

He says, ...VERY...

The rain follows him to the roof of the garage.

He says, …WEIRD!

Messy stands in front of Felix and Zoe.

He says, IT'S ONLY RAINING ON ME!

[Zoe giggling]

Zoe says, LOOK UP, MESSY!

Messy looks up at Fluff, a cloud with cat like ears.

Messy says, OH!

[Messy giggling]

Messy says, IT'S FLUFF!
HELLO!

Fluff says, HELLO, MESSY.

Felix explains, FLUFF HAS BEEN HELPING US TO
WATER THE GRASS.

Zoe says, AND IT'S BEEN A VERY HOT DAY.

Fluff says, WE HAVE HAD SUCH FUN, BUT I
HAVE TO GO HOME NOW.
DO YOU WANT TO COME WITH ME AND
MEET MY FAMILY?

[Messy gasping]

Messy says, YES PLEASE!

Zoe says, I WOULD LOVE TO!

Felix says, SO WOULD I!

Fluff says, OKAY, THEN.
JUST FOLLOW ME UP THE MOUNTAIN.

[Cheering]

[Messy whistling]

Okidoodle rolls out of the garage. Messy, Zoe and Felix hop in and follow Fluff down the street.

Messy says, LET'S SKIDOODLE, OKIDOODLE!

[Bright music plays]

Messy drives alongside the ocean and follows Fluff into a thick cloud on the side of a mountain.

Felix says, OH NO!
WE'LL BE LOST IN THE FOG!

Someone with a deep voice says, NO.

[Messy yelping]

Messy says, WHO SAID THAT?!


[Fluff giggling]

Messy drives out of the thick cloud, who smiles.

Fluff says, THIS IS MY BIG BROTHER,
FOGGY.

Foggy says, HELLO.

Messy gets out of Okidoodle with Zoe and Felix.

He says, HELLO!

Fluff says, HE IS A LITTLE SCARED OF
HEIGHTS SO HE IS ALWAYS ON THE
GROUND.
AND HERE IS MY DAD.

At the top of the mountain, Fluff’s dad has a pink moustache and wears a brown hat.

He says, CALL ME CYRUS.

Fluff says, AND HERE IS MY MUM, ALTA.

Alta her curly blond hair.

She says, HELLO.

Fluff says, AND MY LITTLE BROTHER, NIMBY.

Nimby says, HELLO!

Fluffy says, THESE ARE MY FRIENDS, ZOE,
FELIX, AND MESSY.

Zoe says, HI!

Messy says, HELLO!

Felix says, PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

[Whirring]

[Clanging]

Zam, Zim and Zoom arrive in the cloud ship. Zam uses a remote control-like device.

Zim says, HELLO, EVERYONE!

Alta and Cyrus say, HELLO.

Antenna on Zam’s device shake.

Zam says, WE HAVE BEEN TRYING OUT
MY NEW CLOUD TRACKING MACHINE.
AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WORKS!

[Zam chuckling]

Zam lowers her Cloud Tracking Machine.

She says, OH, HELLO, YOU THREE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

Zoe says, FLUFF INVITED US TO MEET HER
FAMILY.

Nimby says, WHAT'S FOR DINNER, WHAT'S FOR
DINNER, WHAT'S FOR DINNER,
WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

He flies around in circles.

Cyrus says, WATER, NIMBY.
WHAT ELSE?

Nimby says, WATER, IT'S WATER FOR DINNER.
WATER, I LOVE IT!
WATER, WATER, WATER, WATER!

Fluff says, MUM, DAD, DOES NIMBY SEEM A
LITTLE OVER-EXCITED TO YOU?

Foggy says, HE'S GONNA GET THE
LIGHTNINGS!

Messy says, THE LIGHTNINGS?

Alta says, NO, NIMBY IS NOT GOING TO GET
THE LIGHTNINGS.

Nimby says, I LOVE WATER, MMM, WATER!
SUCK IT UP, WATER FOR DINNER!

His bottom glows yellow and he flashes lighting out.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy says, OH, WHAT WAS THAT?!

Zoe says, I'M NOT SURE.

Felix says, MAYBE HE'S JUST GOT A RUMBLY
TUMMY.

Foggy floats over to Messy and the others.

He says, IT'S THE LIGHTNINGS.

Messy says, OOH, WHAT ARE THE LIGHTNINGS?

Nimby cheers, OOOH!
WHEEE!

Alta says, NIMBY, HAVE YOU BEEN HEATING
UP YOUR BOTTOM ON WARM AIR?

Nimby says, YE – MY – NO.
NO, I WASN'T, I NEVER!

Lightning flashes out of his bottom.

[Thunder crashing]

Cyrus asks, WAS THAT A LITTLE FLASH OF
LIGHTNING, NIMBY?

Nimby says, NO, NO, IT WASN'T ME!

He shakes his head as he flashes more lightning.

[Thunder crashing]

Alta says, OH, HE HAS GOT THE
LIGHTNINGS!

Cyrus says, HE'S GOT THE LIGHTNINGS.

Fluff says, HE'S GOT THE LIGHTNINGS.

Lightning flashes as Nimby flies past his family.

Nimby cheers, WHEE!

He flies by Zim.

Zim says, YES, YOU'RE RIGHT!
NIMBY HAS THE LIGHTNINGS.
THE THUNDER, WELL, IT'S A
GIVEAWAY.

Messy asks, WHAT ARE THE LIGHTNINGS?
ZIM, CAN I GET THE LIGHTNINGS
TOO?

Zim says, NO, MESSY, YOU'RE NOT A
CLOUD.

Zoom transforms into a screen displaying Nimby.

[Zoom whirring]

Zim explains, YOU SEE, NIMBY IS VERY COLD
INSIDE.
IN FACT, HE IS SO COLD INSIDE
THAT HIS RAINDROPS ARE FREEZING.

Felix says, AWW, POOR NIMBY!

Zim says, OH, NO, FELIX, IT'S NORMAL
FOR SOME CLOUDS TO BE COLD
INSIDE.
THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN HE
WARMS HIS BOTTOM ON HOT AIR, HIS
INSIDES GET ALL EXCITED AND GO
COMPLETELY TOPSY-TURVY!

An animation shows sunlight bouncing off a mountain and into Nimby.

Zim continues, BECAUSE HE'S EXCITED INSIDE, ALL
THAT HOT AND COLD AIR, WATER AND
ICE IS MOVING ABOUT AND MIXING
TOGETHER.
AND ALL THAT CHURNING AND MIXING
MAKES ELECTRICITY.
AND WHEN THERE'S ENOUGH
ELECTRICITY, IT MAKES LIGHTNING!

Nimby flies around, his bottom still glowing with lightning.

He squeals, WHEE, BANG!

He flashes lightning out of his bottom.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy, Zim and Zoom look worked. As their normal self, Zoom hides behind Zim, dodging Nimby’s lightning.

[Zoom chattering]

Nimby says, WHEE!

Zim says, DID YOU SEE THAT?

Nimby cheers, I'VE GOT THE LIGHTNINGS!

He flies around the mountain.

Zam says, EVERYBODY ABOARD THE CLOUD
SHIP.
WE SHOULD FOLLOW HIM!

She hurries toward the cloud ship.

Alta says, FLUFF, YOU GO IN THE CLOUD
SHIP AND HELP.
WE'LL WAIT HERE IN CASE HE COMES
BACK THIS WAY.

Fluff flies toward the cloud ship.

[Dramatic music plays]

Zam and the others follow Nimby in the cloud ship.

[Thunder crashing]

The cloud ship shakes.

Messy says, OH, LIGHTNING IS SO EXCITING!

Zam says, YES, IT'S AMAZING, MESSY!
AND AS LONG AS YOU'RE INSIDE,
NICE AND DRY.

Zim says, AND DEFINITELY NOT STANDING
UNDER SOMETHING TALL, LIKE A
TREE.

Zam says, IT'S LIKE A FIREWORKS
SHOW!

She flies the cloud ship, following Nimby as he fills the sky with lightning.

Messy cheers, BA-LA-BA-LA BOOM-BOOM!

Felix says, SO, NIMBY'S INSIDES ARE ALL
EXCITED AND MIXING ABOUT, AND
THAT IS WHY HE'S MAKING
LIGHTNING?

Zam says, THAT'S RIGHT, FELIX.

Lightning flashes around the mountains from Nimby.

[Thunder crashing]

Felix says, HMM.
SO, WHAT MAKES THE NOISE OF THE
THUNDER?

Zim says, AH, WELL, LIGHTNING IS VERY,
VERY HOT.
IN FACT, IT'S SO HOT, IT MAKES
THE AIR MOVE.
AND THE AIR MOVES SO FAST THAT
IT MAKES A NOISE.

Zam says, AND THAT NOISE IS THUNDER.

Zoe says, BUT LISTEN…

[Distant thunder crashing]

Zoe says, NOW THE THUNDER
IS COMING A LONG TIME AFTER THE
LIGHTNING.

Zim says, THAT MEANS THAT NIMBY IS
MOVING AWAY FROM US.

An animation on Zoom, as a screen shows the cloud ship landing beside a neighbourhood with Nimby flying above.

Zim explains, THE SOUND OF THE THUNDER MOVES
SLOWER THAN THE FLASH OF THE
LIGHTNING, SO IF NIMBY IS A LONG
WAY AWAY, WE SEE THE FLASH
BEFORE WE HEAR THE THUNDER.

[Thunder crashing]

Zoe says, BUT DO YOU KNOW WHERE NIMBY
IS GOING, THEN?

Zam says, HMM, WELL, ACCORDING TO MY
CLOUD TRACKING MACHINE, NIMBY IS
HEADING RIGHT TOWARDS THE ICE
RINK.

[Dramatic music plays]

Zim says, OH NO!
THAT'S WHERE THE GRAND FINALE
OF OKIDO SPORTS DAY IS HAPPENING
TODAY!

Zam says, IF NIMBY GETS THERE, OKIDO
SPORTS DAY WILL HAVE TO BE
CALLED OFF!
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!

Zoe says, OH, WE HAVE TO THINK OF A WAY
TO CALM NIMBY DOWN BEFORE HE
GETS THERE!
LET'S GO TO THE ICE RINK!

[Cheerful music plays]

The group flies to the ice rink, where monsters skate around the ice. They land beside the rink. Mayor Oki skates across the ice with Lolly, lifting her with one hand.

[Thunder crashing]

Mayor Oki stumbles and drops Lolly. They both slide across the ice past Messy and the others.

Zim says, NIMBY SOUNDS VERY CLOSE.

Messy says, OH, I KNOW, I KNOW!
LET'S JUST PICK UP THE ICE RINK
AND MOVE IT SOMEWHERE SAFE.

Felix says, UM, HOW WILL WE PICK UP THE
ICE RINK, MESSY?

Messy says, USING ZAM'S AMAZING ICE RINK
MOVING MACHINE!

Zam says, I HAVEN'T INVENTED AN AMAZING
ICE RINK MOVING MACHINE, MESSY.

Messy says, WELL, YOU'VE STILL GOT A FEW
MINUTES.

Zoe says, NIMBY IS EXCITED BECAUSE HE
WARMED HIS BOTTOM UP.

Zim says, YES, IF NIMBY'S TOP, HIS
MIDDLE, AND HIS BOTTOM ARE ALL
THE SAME TEMPERATURE, THEY WON'T
BE MIXING UP.
HE'LL BE CALM INSIDE.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy says, ZAM, BRING OUT YOUR AMAZING
CLOUD BOTTOM COOLING MACHINE!
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Zam says, MESSY...

Messy says, OKAY, SORRY.

He takes a step forward and slips on the ice rink.

He says, WHOOPS!

[Messy yelping]

Sliding across the ice on his back, Messy knocks over a pylon.

He says, NOW I'VE GOT A COLD BOTTOM.

Zoe says, OF COURSE!
IF WE BLOW COLD AIR FROM THE ICE
RINK TOWARDS NIMBY, WE CAN COOL
HIS BOTTOM HALF DOWN, AND CURE
HIS LIGHTNINGS!

[Zoom chittering]

Later, on the ice, Fluff hovers beside Zoom, who is the shaped of a giant fan. Zoe slides over.

She asks, READY, FLUFF?

Fluff nods.

Zoe asks, READY, ZOOM?

Zoom nods.

[Zoom beeping]

In the sky, Nimby says, WHEE!

He flashes lightning.

He says, OOH!

He flies toward the ice rink.

He sings, I'VE GOT THE LIGHTNINGS,
I'VE GOT THE LIGHTNINGS.
LIGHTNINGS, LIGHTNINGS.

Felix shouts, HERE HE COMES!

Zoe shouts, ZOOM, FLUFF, WHEN I SAY "NOW"
BLOW ICY AIR AT NIMBY'S BOTTOM!

Nimby change, LIGHTNINGS, LIGHTNING!
OOH, WHO WANTS TO SEE SOME
LIGHTNING?

He turns around and blasts lightning from his bottom.

[Thunder rumbling]

Nimby says, I'M FLASHING MY BOTTOM!

Zoe shouts, NOW!

Fluff blows air into Zoom’s fan.

Nimby says, OOH, OOH, COLD!
COLD, COLD BOTTOM!
COLD BOTTOM!
OOH, THAT'S BETTER.
OOH!
PHEW.

He looks relieved as he floats down to the ice toward the cloud ship and the others.

Zoe asks, HAVE THE LIGHTNINGS GONE?

Nimby says, OH, YES, THEY HAVE.
PHEW!
I'M NEVER GOING TO WARM MY
BOTTOM ON WARM AIR AGAIN,
I PROMISE.
I KNOW I'VE SAID THAT BEFORE,
BUT I PROMISE.

[Felix chuckling]

[Zoom chittering]

Felix says, IT'S OKAY, NIMBY!

Zoe says, DON'T WORRY.

Zam explains, SOME CLOUDS ARE SUPPOSED TO
GET THE LIGHTNINGS FROM TIME TO
TIME.

Messy says, IT WAS GREAT!

Fluff says, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP,
EVERYONE.
NIMBY, WE SHOULD GO HOME FOR
DINNER NOW.

Nimby says, OKAY, FLUFF.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
SEE YOU SOON!

Fluff says, BYE-BYE!

She flies away with Nimby.

The others say, BYE, FLUFF!
BYE, NIMBY!

Zim yells, GOOD TO SEE YOU!

On the ice, Lolly and Mayor Oki expertly skate together.

Messy says, AH, I'VE HAD A REALLY
EXCITING DAY, BUT I WANT TO SEE
IF THERE'S STILL LIGHTNING AND
THUNDER AT HOME.
BYE!

He waves.

The others say, BYE, MESSY!

They wave as Messy returns to the living room. At the door, he looks outside at flashing lightning.

[Thunder crashing]

Messy says, ZAP, LIGHTNING!
BOOM, THUNDER!
SO, LIGHTNING IS ELECTRICITY,
AND THUNDER IS THE SOUND OF THE
AIR MOVING!
HMM, AND TOGETHER, THEY ARE THE
MESSIEST, NOISIEST WEATHER I'VE
EVER SEEN!
BYE-BYE!

He waves, then sits in front go the door, watching the lightning.

[Thunder crashing]

[Upbeat music plays]
