EXT. BUS STOP-NIGHT
It’s raining out and there’s a long line of people waiting for the bus. Suddenly the ground starts to rumble and as POP MUSIC starts to play. The people ignore the rumbles and quakes which we see are being caused by NOEL TIFFANY MOZART (A 20-something obese woman, wearing a white lab coat) is walking over to the bus stop. Noel is out of breath and takes a seat on the bench which breaks once she sits on it.
The bus arrives and everyone boards. Noel dusts herself off and tries to get onto the bus, but is stuck in the bus door.
NOEL (V.O.)
This is awkward I know. But this is everyday for me. My name is Dr. Noel Tiffany Mozart. Yes, I am a descendant of the classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Why do you ask?
A fire truck arrives to help Noel her squeeze out of the bus door frame. The firemen successfully get Noel out and she is escorted to an ambulance.
EXT. OFFICE BUILDING-NIGHT
The ambulance takes Noel to an office building and helps her out of it. Noel waves the paramedics goodbye and walks into the office building.
NOEL (V.O.)
I work for the Jones Biotech Corporation. We make bioweapons and do other genetic experiments.
INT. LABORATORY-NIGHT
Noel sits at her desk mixing chemicals when her co-worker JOSEPH TRIGGER (A 30-something thin nerdy male, wearing a janitor’s uniform) enters sweeping up the lab.
JOSEPH
It’s late, Noel. Maybe you should go home.
NOEL
I can’t Joseph. I must perfect this formula. I present to Mr. Jones in the morning.
After some mixing chemicals react in a certain way that they start fizzing in the bottle. Joseph walks over to a box of doughnuts and grabs one. Noel grunts in annoyance as Joseph smacks on his doughnut.
JOSEPH
What? You wanted one?
NOEL
No, Joseph. I’m on a diet. I really need to lose this weight.
Joseph lets out a little laugh and smirks. Noel swings her chair around and starts to huff angrily.
NOEL
You have no idea what it’s like to be me! To be a freaking whale. To have people judge you. Look at you. And for what.
Joseph sighs and finishes up his doughnut. After Joseph finishes his doughnut he walks over to a sink and washes his hands.
JOSEPH
Are you losing it for your health or other reasons?
NOEL
I hate being fat. I hate weighing 550 pounds. But if I put the work into it, then I myself can be as thin and beautiful as my sister.
JOSEPH
Who says you’re not beautiful? You’re just beautiful in your own way. Plus, your sister has her own issues too. With you and her coming from a famous family and all.
NOEL
Shut up, Joseph. It’s awkward enough society judges me but being the only obese member of my famous wealthy family makes it even worse.
JOSEPH
Look at the positives, you built a reputation without tying yourself to your family name. You even became doctor. Your father didn’t want you working here.
NOEL
Speaking of work I better get back at it. Sorry to nag about my family troubles.
JOSEPH
No worries. It’s just good to talk with a friend. Hey, that ooze you’re making is leaking out of the bottle.
Noel’s hand is covered in a red ooze and she tries to wipe the red ooze off her hand. After Noel wipes the red ooze away she notices her hand appears to be thinner. Noel screams and Joseph walks over confused.
JOSEPH
What’s up?
NOEL
Look at my hand. It’s thinner!
JOSEPH
I don’t see a difference.
NOEL
I wonder...
Noel starts rubbing the red ooze on herself and as she does so her body takes on a more thinner appearance. After she uses all the red ooze in the bottle. Noel is now thinner and buffer. Joseph’s jaw drops as Noel’s clothes are now oversized and baggy on her. Joseph points to the mirror inside the lab and Noel sees her now thinner and more beautiful appearance. Noel jumps up and down with joy as Joseph looks on in awe.
(Author’s Note: Ideally, I feel Noel should be played by a thin actress in a fat suit. Noel was described as obese in her character description because that’s how she appears in the beginning of the show and throughout most of this episode. Noel goes from thin to obese a lot throughout this series. Either she should be played by a thin actress in fat suit or by two different actresses, as in an actress for thin Noel and an actress for obese Noel.)
JOSEPH
Damn! What did that red ooze do to you?
Noel starts running around the lab and while running Noel gains the power of super speed. Joseph pulls out his smartphone and starts filming this situation. Noel mid run jumps up and suddenly starts to fly. Noel starts to fly around the laboratory. While Noel flies around the laboratory as CLASSICAL MUSIC starts to play. As Noel soars around the lab, she starts to glow bright red as a red aura appears around her. When Noel lands she engulfed in a bright red flame.
Joseph continues filming and appears very shaken. Noel walks over to Joseph. Noel once close to Joseph snaps her fingers and she is no longer engulfed in a red flame but her skin is still red.
JOSEPH
What the hell happened to you?
NOEL
It doesn’t matter. At least I’m thin and beautiful.
JOSEPH
But you have red skin now?
NOEL
What?
Noel looks at herself in the mirror and looks at her red skin. She rubs her face and then rubs her fingers. Joseph texts the video to Noel that he just filmed of her using her newly gained powers. Noel hears her phone ring and looks at the video of herself with her powers.
NOEL
This is amazing. I have super powers now. How long will this last though?
JOSEPH
Wait, you might not be this way forever?
NOEL
I honestly don’t know. I should spend the night here and study myself some more.
JOSEPH
I would stay with you overnight to look after you. But, I need to take care of my Grandma. Call me if anything goes wrong.
NOEL
Alright, good night Joseph. And remember to keep this all between us. In fact, delete the video you filmed of me just now using my powers.
JOSEPH
Okay, I will. You’ll lock up the place right?
Noel nods her head “yes” and Joseph ways goodbye. Joseph exits and Noel looks over her notes about the chemicals she mixed to create the red ooze.
BEGIN SERIES OF SHOTS
Once Joseph is gone, Noel starts to study and learn how her newfound powers work.
--Noel is flying around the lab and briefly flies out of the building and into the sky.
--Noel running at super speeds around the office building and doing tasks at super speeds.
--Noel controlling her red aura to create flame bursts and laser blasts.
--Noel inside a batting cage and creating red force fields to protect her from baseballs.
--Noel reading the ingredients of the chemicals in the red ooze she created.
--Noel punches a punching bag until she breaks it due to her newfound strength.
--Noel types at a computer doing some calculations about how long the red ooze will stay absorbed inside her body.
END SERIES OF SHOTS
Noel sips a cup of coffee while reading an email from her father. Noel’s calculations are finished and she looks them over. Noel does a spits out her coffee as her skin returns back to normal and she begins rapidly gaining weight.
Noel rapidly transforms back into her old normal obese self when the sun rises and she cries. Once she’s back to her old self, Noel falls to her knees.
NOEL
18 hours. That’s how long the red ooze can last inside my body before it goes away. Now that I know the ingredients to this wonder creation of mine, I must make more.
Noel’s phone dings and it’s a text message from her father. She reads it and sighs. Noel gets up from the ground and dusts herself off. Noel takes her notebook with her, turns off her computer and then exits the laboratory.
INT. MOZART MEDIA HEADQUARTERS: BOARD ROOM-DAY
ORSON MOZART (A 50-something thin male with a grey beard, wearing a striped business suit and a fedora) slams a newspaper onto the board room table in front of the board of directors. The newspaper’s headline reads “Orson Mozart Doesn’t Stand A Chance To Become Governor”.
ORSON
This was the headline from our rival. Now, let’s correct this and help me get voters on my side.
AUSTIN KENT (A 50-something slightly overweight male with a dark goatee, wearing a frock coat and bowtie) slowly gets up from his chair and as he goes to grab some whiskey.
AUSTIN
Now Orson, we know how much this run for Governor of Ohio means to you. But you’re dead last in the polls. And your public image...
Orson slams his fist on the table and Austin is taken aback before he speaks.
ORSON
What about my public image? I’m one of the wealthiest men in America. I own one of the largest media empires in the world. I invested in startups that are now mega corporations. I run charities and foundations that help the world.
AUSTIN
Yes, you almost singlehandedly run the City of Cleveland and the state of Ohio, even if you aren’t the Governor due to your vast influence. But as for your public image, nobody truly knows you.
ORSON
What do you mean?
AUSTIN
You’re kind of a recluse, sir. Hell, your daughter Brittney is more well known and loved than you.
ORSON
I’m a very private man, Mr. Kent and board of directors, Unlike my influencer daughter Brittney. Who is milking me dry by the way.
AUSTIN
Isn’t your oldest daughter a doctor? Maybe she should come out into the public eye.
ORSON
Well...
An intercom buzzes and Orson presses the button to answer the intercom.
ORSON
What is it?
ORSON’S SECRETARY (O.S.)
Your daughter Noel is waiting for you to meet for your 12:30 lunch break with her.
Orson sighs and presses the intercom button again to respond.
ORSON
Tell her I will meet her in our usual place.
EXT. ALLEYWAY-DAY
Orson exits through a backdoor of his media empire’s headquarters and Noel is waiting for him. Orson runs over and give Noel a hug.
NOEL
The usual place?
ORSON
Yep.
Orson and Noel walk over to a gyro stand across the street and order two gyros. Then they walk back to the alleyway where they were and they start eating together. Noel finishes her gyro first and wipes her face. Noel takes a sip of water from her water bottle. Orson doesn’t finish his gyro and throws it away in a nearby dumpster.
Orson looks at his watch and waves goodbye to Noel. But before he could head back into his board room, Noel reaches out and grabs his arm.
NOEL
Why do we do this?
ORSON
What do you mean?
NOEL
Dad, are you ashamed of me?
ORSON
What could give you that idea, Noel?
NOEL
I don’t know. That we eat outside in a cold dirty alleyway instead of a nice warm restaurant. And I’m sick of gyros.
ORSON
Well, we could order a pizza next time.
NOEL
Just admitted, you don’t want to be seen with me because you’re ashamed of me.
ORSON
I have to get back to work. Love you Noel!
NOEL
Not as much as you love Brittney...
ORSON
Your sister Brittney is starting to annoy me in other ways. But honey, I really have to get back to work. Plus...you should just go.
Noel sighs and leaves. Orson sighs and his cell phone rings. Orson answers his cell phone.
ORSON
Oh, hello Mr. Jones. Yes, I just finished lunch with my daughter and your top scientist, Noel. What’s that? You have a story for me? What kind of story?
INT. LABORATORY-DAY
Noel is mixing chemicals to create another bottle of the miracle red ooze when ROGER JONES (A 40-something hipster male with a goatee, wearing a hooded jacket and sneakers) enters the laboratory and Noel quickly stops her work. As Roger comes closer she closes the tabs on her computer and hides her notes. Roger looks around the laboratory with pride and sips from a novelty coffee mug.
ROGER
Morning, Ms. Mozart.
NOEL
Actually, that’s Dr. Mozart. I hope that wasn’t too rude of me to correct you Mr. Jones.
ROGER
Oh right. Of course you’re a doctor. Why else would you be so good at your job. But I have a lot of news to share but I didn’t come alone...
TATSU LINO (A 30-something nerdy Asian male, wearing a business suit and his left arm is robotic) enters in using an electric wheelchair. Tatsu pulls his electric wheelchair next to Roger. Noel swings her chair forward to face them. Tatsu giggles a little when he spots Noel.
ROGER
Dr. Mozart. This is Mr. Tatsu Lino. He’s the current CEO of the Japanese weapons and technology manufacturer PesiGa INC.
NOEL
Nice to meet you Mr. Lino. What brings you here?
TATSU
Well, my company is acquiring your current employer. Starting next week, we are laying every Jones BioTech employee off and merging Jones BioTech with our own stateside bioweapons division.
NOEL
I’m losing my job?
ROGER
Sorry, but it’s true. This sale will be final by next week and this place is closing down. I would start packing up your things early.
NOEL
This can’t be happening.
ROGER
Oh, and I need you to hand over all your research. That belongs to Mr. Lino and PesiGa INC. now.
NOEL
Okay, but should I get a lawyer or something first?
ROGER
Well, to be frank. Once you became an employee of Jones BioTech, any research you do here in this laboratory automatically is owned by the employer. You could lawyer up, but our lawyers are way better.
Noel sits back down and her chair breaks. Noel struggles to get back up as Roger laughs while Tatsu giggles a little. Roger looks at his watch and taps Tatsu on the shoulder.
ROGER
Hey Tatsu. We shouldn’t waste our reservation at the steakhouse. Let’s go get some food in our bellies.
TATSU
You go, I will catch up.
ROGER
Okay. See you at Larry’s Best Steakhouse. The reservation is under your name by the way. Because since you bought my company, you’re buying dinner too. Later.
Roger exits as Noel slowly gets up as Tatsu moves his electric wheelchair closer to Noel. Tatsu reaches his robotic arm to shake Noel’s hand. Noel grabs Tatsu’s robotic hand and they shake hands.
TATSU
So miss?
NOEL
Doctor Noel Mozart.
TATSU
Oh, Dr. Noel Mozart. I have a question for you?
NOEL
Okay, what’s your question?
TATSU
Are you single?
NOEL
That’s none of your business.
TATSU
I have lots of money. I could give you some. After all you did lose your job.
NOEL
Have you heard of the Mozart Media Corporation? I’m an heiress. I’ll be just fine money wise, thank you.
TATSU
It’s just that between you and me, I like BBWs.
NOEL
What’s BBW? Is that a car or something?
TATSU
No, it means Big Beautiful Women. So you.
Noel slaps Tatsu and Tatsu wheels himself out of the room in a huff. Noel starts packing up her things as Joseph enters mopping up the floors.
JOSEPH
Wow, this sucks. Sorry about that pervert. I would suggest reporting it to HR but this place is about to close down and he owns us, so...
NOEL
Joseph, you deleted that video, right?
JOSEPH
The video of you becoming a superhero. Yeah, I did. Did you?
NOEL
No, I’m saving a copy for my research. I have to get my notes on the cure ooze out here.
JOSEPH
The cure ooze? What did it cure you of?
NOEL
Look I just need to focus alright. Along with trying to figure out how to make the cure ooze last more than 18 hours.
JOSEPH
Well, how long do you want the red ooze to last?
NOEL
Forever!
Noel grabs all her belongings and runs out of the laboratory. Joseph continues mopping when he notices Noel’s desk drawer is slightly open and that there’s a glowing red light inside it. Joseph opens the door and finds a bottle filled with red ooze. Joseph walks over to a sink to dump the bottle filled with red ooze only for Tatsu to enter and spot him.
TATSU
What is going on in here?
Joseph sets the bottle of red ooze on the counter as Tatsu wheels himself over towards the stink. Joseph grabs his mop and flees. Tatsu shakes his fist and sighs. Tatsu notices the bottle of red ooze. Tatsu looks around and grabs a glob of the red ooze. Some of the red ooze lands on his legs. Tatsu rubbing the red ooze on his legs.
After Tatsu rubbed the red ooze on his legs, he gets up from electric wheelchair and starts to walk.
TATSU
It’s a miracle! I can walk!
But Tatsu starts to feel sick and slowly starts to transform into a red dragon. Joseph reenters and sees Tatsu’s transformation into a red dragon. After Tatsu finishes his transformation into a red dragon, he roars then bursts out of the laboratory.
Joseph after seeing what he just witnessed pulls out his smartphone and makes a phone call.
JOSEPH
Noel! Where are you?
EXT. CITY STREETS-DAY
Tatsu, in his dragon form, is flying around the city causing chaos and destruction. As Tatsu throws an SUV towards a building when suddenly and out of nowhere, a red skinned and thinner Noel arrives on the scene, now dressed in a superhero costume. Noel catches the SUV before it could do damage to the building.
Tatsu roars and rushes towards Noel. Tatsu and Noel begin fighting each other in an epic battle. Midway into the battle, Noel weakens Tatsu and Tatsu tries to flee by flying away. Noel flies up into the sky to chase after him.
EXT. MOZART MEDIA HEADQUARTERS: ROOFTOP-DAY
Tatsu lands on top of Mozart Media headquarters building to rest when Noel arrives. The sound of a clock tower ringing is heard and after that Tatsu starts transforming back into his old human self. Noel slowly transforms back into her old regular skin color obese self.
Noel and Tatsu are clearly tired after fighting each other and Tatsu stares angrily at Noel.
TATSU
You made the miracle cure? Didn’t you?
NOEL
Look, I need more time to research it and...
TATSU
I own it, don’t I? This is what you were hiding from Mr. Jones and I?
NOEL
It’s still unstable and lasts only 18 hours. Plus it turned you into a dragon. I...what, what was I thinking.
TATSU
I may have turned into a dragon. But that ooze made me walk. I was born crippled. You see this robotic arm of mine. You know what’s underneath it...
Tatsu rips off his robotic arm to reveal a tiny freakish baby-like arm. Tatsu yells out in anger as Noel falls to her knees. Then, the police arrive onto the scene. Noel places her hands behind her head as she and Tatsu are being arrested.
EXT. POLICE STATION-DAY
Orson and Noel exit the police station together. Orson and Noel are arguing with each other.
ORSON
What is going on? Why and how did you turn that man into a dragon?
NOEL
Look, it’s a long story. But I can explain. I just can’t do it right now.
ORSON
Explain damn it. You know you could be sued for this right? As in we could be sued.
JOSEPH (O.S.)
Noel! We have a problem.
Noel and Orson turn around to see Joseph beside his van and he rushes towards them in a hurry.
JOSEPH
Someone stole all your cure ooze, Noel.
Noel runs in a huff towards Joseph’s van and Joseph rushes back towards his van and Noel. Joseph helps Noel into his van and as Noel tries to get comfortable inside Joseph’s van, Joseph hands her a note.
JOSEPH
Read this note, it’s from the thieves.
Noel reads the note and then crumbles it up in anger. Noel slams his fist on the van dashboard.
NOEL
Drive damn it. Drive.
Joseph and Noel drive away as Orson stands confused when his limousine arrives to pick him up. Orson is about to go when a police officer stops Orson.
POLICE OFFICER
Mr. Mozart.
ORSON
What is it Officer?
POLICE OFFICER
We need to show you a video that we found on your daughter’s phone. She’s done something crazy.
INT. FACTORY-NIGHT
The sound of thunder can be heard outside as Roger is giving bottles of the red ooze to the mafia. CRIME BOSS LUIGI DEAFINTO (A 50-something overweight male mobster} is examining a bottle of the red ooze. Luigi opens a bottle and rubs it over his facial scars. After Luigi rubs the red ooze on his facial scars, they begin to heal rapidly. A mafia goon grabs a box of bottles of red ooze and puts them in the back of a van.
ROGER
What did I tell you Mr. Deafinto. This stuff does wonders. Now can you guys distribute this on the black market?
LUIGI
Why do you want the mafia to distribute this stuff? Aren’t you the CEO of a successful corporation?
ROGER
I was, until a failed merger that cost me everything. Look, as I rebuild my company, the world needs this stuff. But since it’s unpredictable in its current state, I figured I test it on the black market first before I sell it nation wide.
LUIGI
Unpredictable you say? Let’s test it some more. Boys, you all are going to be Guinea pigs. Line up!
