We’re so proud of you!

You might not have gotten an award for grades
or sports, but when it comes to showing up,
you sure do show up a lot!

The car pulls up. Through the window, we see FRANCIS, pounding his
fist into his hand. Timmy slinks down.

(Whispered to Cosmo and Wanda)
Oh no! Francis is outside looking for me!
6 WANDA
(whispered)
How do you know he’s looking for you?
7 TIMMY
(whispered)
Because he’s already beaten up every other
kid in school!

It’s the last day of school! He celebrates by

Anything else before we drop you off, don’t

Yeah. Can you drop me off in school?

ON TIMMY
11 TIMMY
By Mom and Dad. See you later at the awards

PULL BACK to see Mom and Dad sitting in their car, parked in the

When you hear your insult, followed by your

a-garbage man, Francis?

(grunts)
14 MR. CROCKER
The-boy-I’m-sure-has-Fairy-Godparents-that-I-

“Here!” / “I have fairies!”

Look! Over there! A Rottweiler!
23 FRANCIS
I’m not falling for that one, Turner.
24 TIMMY
You’re right. It’s just a brick wall.
25 FRANCIS
A brick wall? Where?

29 TIMMY
The Fairly OddParents: “TimVisible” Recording Script by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel 5/23/01 6
Cosmo and Wanda wave their wands and POOF! Timmy is invisible! To
every character on the show, that is. When we need to see him,
he’s visible as a ghostly outline.
30 TIMMY
Cool! You can see right through me!
31 WANDA
You’re ten, sweetie. You’re not that hard to
figure out.
31A FRANCIS
(roars)
32 TIMMY
Francis is coming! You two gotta hide! I wish
you looked like school kids!
POOF! They look like themselves, but with caps over crowns and
backpacks over wings. Francis wheels around a corner. Invisible Timmy
stands right next to him.
33 FRANCIS
Awright, Turner... it’s time to...
(sees Cosmo and Wanda)
Hey. Where’d Turner go?
34 COSMO
Brown hair? Big teeth?
35 WANDA
Short kid? Silly pink hat?

Hold on door for a beat. Invisible Timmy - covering his eyes - runs
screaming from the room and into the hallway.
42 TIMMY
Aaaaaagh! I’m in the wrong bathroom!
TWO TEN YEAR OLD GIRLS - fully dressed mind you - poke their heads
out and look into the hallway.

They all leave the room screaming in terror. Invisible Timmy covers his
mouth, stifling impolite laughter.

Cosmo and Wanda are sitting next to Chester and AJ. Cosmo, Wanda
and AJ have LUNCH BOXES. Chester has a brown paper BAG. In the

51 AJ
I don’t recall ever seeing you two floating kids
before? Where are you from?
52 WANDA
Ever been to Europe?
53 AJ
No.
54 COSMO
Then we’re from Europe!
56 CHESTER
That’s nuts.
57 AJ
Preposterous. Ghosts don’t exist.
58 CHESTER
(sadly) Government cheese.
59 COSMO
Hey! I love government standard products.
Wanna trade?
60 CHESTER
Whattya got?
61 COSMO
Whattya want?
CUT TO:
62 CHESTER
Thanks, floating European kid!
(to car)
Punch it, Chewie!
Chester peels away and we see Cosmo and Wanda on the steps of the
school.
63 WANDA
Aww..that was really sweet of you!
64 COSMO
What? I like Cheese!
Cosmo starts to take a bite of the cheese when Francis grabs it from
Cosmo’s hand.
65 COSMO
Hey! That’s my cheese!
66 FRANCIS
No, it’s your face if I don’t find Turner before
the end of the day.
67 WANDA
That’s not nice!
68 COSMO
Yeah! I’ll be mushy and inedible!

ON GARBAGE CAN with lid open - INVISIBLE TIMMY stands next to the
can as Chester and AJ fly in and land inside.
72 TIMMY
Nobody does that to my friends as long as I
can’t be seen defending them!
73 FRANCIS
Heh! This is what’d I’d do to Turner if he was a
frog!
Before Francis can do anything to the Frog, Invisible Timmy grabs the
frog and floats it in front of Francis. To everyone else, it looks like the
frog is floating.
74 TIMMY
Hey! Pick on someone your own species!
75 FRANCIS
OOF! OW! OUCH! OW! STOP!!!
76 CHESTER
Are you seeing what I’m seeing?

The ghost frog beating up Francis? Yeah!
78 CHESTER AND AJ
AWESOME! (THEN) Ghost Frog! The school IS
haunted! AAAA!!!!!
78A KIDS

Every kid in the class runs out of the room in terror except for Francis,
who is next to the garbage can, getting “kicked” by the frog.

Oh, I have to spook him once...
DISSOLVE TO:
82 TEACHER
Principal Waxelplax, I’m telling you, the school
is haunted! Haunted!
83 CROCKER
By Fairies!
84 WAXELPLAX
Knock it off, both of you! I don’t want anything
freaking out the children during the awards
ceremony!
85 JOCKS
AAAAAA! GHOSTS!
The Fairly OddParents: “TimVisible” Recording Script by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel 5/23/01 13
86 WAXELPLAX
Too late.
ON INVISIBLE TIMMY
87 TIMMY
Oh my gosh! I totally forgot about the
ceremony! If I don’t show up in person, I won’t
get my award! And I can’t “show up” if I’m
invisible!
88 CROCKER
With the help of my heat seeking fairy goggles,
I’ll be able to find this invisible boy! But where
to look... where to look...
89 CROCKER (VO)
Turner.
CUT TO:
90 TIMMY
Where the heck are Cosmo and Wanda?
91 FRANCIS
You’re not Turner, but I’ll bet your bones break
like his.
92 KID #1
Cool! (beat) AAAAAA!
The kid runs around a corner. He passes Crocker who is now decked
out in makeshift Ghost-buster gear.
The Fairly OddParents: “TimVisible” Recording Script by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel 5/23/01 14
93 KID #1
HAUNTED LOCKER!
94 FRANCIS
WHO DID THAT? WHERE ARE YOU?
Francis looks around -- he’s inches away from Timmy, who cowers,
even though he’s invisible. TIMMY GULPS.
94A TIMMY
(gulps)
95 FRANCIS
I am SO gonna take this out on Turner after
school...
96 TIMMY
(to self)
Oh, man! If I show up for the assembly, he’s
gonna wail on me worse than before!
97 TIMMY
And I’m running out of time! I’ve gotta find
Cosmo and Wanda!
CUT TO:
98 SPANISH TEACHER
Donde esta el queso de Governmente? (Where
is the government cheese?)
99 COSMO
Aqui! (Here!)
(to Wanda)
Tengo un puerco en mis chonies!
100 WANDA

101 COSMO
Si!
104 COSMO
(sadly)
Ai! El nino grande me va a pegar a mi y a mi
puerco!
105 WANDA
That’s right. The big kid is going to kill you and
your pig. And I’ll miss you both.
105A PIG

CUT TO:
106 TIMMY
(whispered)
Cosmo? Wanda? Where are you?

AAA! He can see me through those goggles!

DISSOLVE TO:
The place is jammed with freaked out PARENTS and FAMILY MEMBERS.
Pan over to see Mom and Dad, sitting in their car, which is parked in
the middle of the audience.
109 PARENTS
(NERVOUS THE SCHOOL IS HAUNTED WALLA)
110 MOM
I love awards ceremonies! I’ve never missed
one! Hey! I’ve got perfect attendance like
Timmy!
111 DAD
Good thing the ghosts can’t reach us in the
car!
112 PARENT #1
AAA! GHOST HORN!
CUT TO:
Invisible Timmy runs for his life, dodging the various “traps” Crocker
fires at him from his Ghost-buster gun.
113 TIMMY
AAAGH!
114 TIMMY
The ceremony!
CUT TO:
115 CROCKER
Once I capture you, Little Ghost Boy, I will
finally be able to prove that fairies exist!
116 CROCKER
You’ll never escape me!
CUT TO:
Timmy looks through the door and sees Cosmo and Wanda in the front
row, still in their Spanish Class outfits.
117 TIMMY
There they are! And they’re Spaniards!
118 FRANCIS
Well, I can’t find Turner. Guess what that
means?
119 WANDA
You have poor detective skills?
Francis grabs Cosmo around the neck. Invisible Timmy runs into scene.
Crocker - still wearing the goggles - runs in and stops right behind
Timmy.
ON CROCKER
121 TIMMY
(whispered to Wanda)
I don’t know what to do! If I wish myself
visible, Francis’ll kill me!
122 WANDA
And if you don’t?
123 TIMMY
Then I don’t get my award--
124 TIMMY
--And Cosmo gets hit because I’m being a
coward. And that’s not fair.
(whispered to Wanda)
I wish I was visible!
Wanda waves her wand. Timmy becomes visible. At the same time,
Crocker fires his gun... but it’s jammed with flour. It explodes, filling
the scene with white, fluffy smoke. The smoke clears to reveal Timmy,
now visible and Crocker, covered with flour.
125 DAD
Wow! Does our son know how to make an
entrance or what?
ON TIMMY

DISSOLVE TO:
137 COSMO
Congratulations on your award, Timmy and
thanks for letting me not get wailed on!
138 FRANCIS
Yeah, congratulations, Turner. Ready for your
OTHER award?
139 TIMMY
I’m not letting my pals get beaten up instead of
me, Francis.
140 FRANCIS
You’re not afraid?
141 TIMMY
Of course I am! I’m just not running away from
you anymore.
142 FRANCIS
Wow. That’s pretty noble.
Timmy smiles.
143 FRANCIS
Still gonna wail on you, though. Here it comes!
144 TIMMY
Oh man...
Timmy closes his eyes and Francis hits him as hard as he can in the
chest... accidentally punching the medal.
145 FRANCIS
Ow! My hand!
146 FRANCIS
The Fairly OddParents: “TimVisible” Recording Script by Butch Hartman and Steve Marmel 5/23/01 21
147 TIMMY
Thank you, medal!
148 FRANCIS
Ow my head! Ow my spleen...
DISSOLVE TO:
Timmy sits in the back seat admiring his now bent medal. Cosmo and
Wanda are little, plastic, BOUNCY-HEADED DOGGIES on the back
window.
149 MOM
Wow! We sure are proud of you, Timmy!
150 DAD
Yeah! And look at that neat, dented medal you
got! In my day, all we got were the cruddy, un-
dented ones!
151 MOM
Anything interesting happen on your last day of
school?
152 TIMMY
Not really...
Mom and Dad’s car drives past a PADDY WAGON, into which both
Crocker and Francis are being loaded.
The car drives away into the sunset. Cosmo, Wanda and Timmy laugh.
FADE OUT.

THE END.
