The nocturnal skyline of the city of Townsville is shown.
NARRATOR: The city of Townsville! An average city with average suburbs and average neighborhoods with average family homes.

We zoom in on a particularly boring-looking, averagely brown-colored domicile.
NARRATOR: Here we start with an average family, the Smiths.

Inside the Smith bedroom, an alarm clock flashing '6:00' buzzes and is immediately shut off by a tired fist. The balding, weary-looking, middle-aged gentleman who then reaches over and puts on his glasses is HAROLD, the Smith Family Breadwinner. The perky, mouse-faced female sleeping beside him is MARYANNE, the Smith Family Homemaker. The weary look does not leave HAROLD'S face, however, as we see him first showering, then brushing his teeth. As he finishes setting the knot in his necktie, perky MARYANNE skitters by, a basket of laundry in her arms.
MARYANNE: You'll never guess what's for breakfast!...

The scene cuts to the Smith Family Kitchen where HAROLD is seated next to his two children. BUD is a snide, braces-fixed ten-year-old sporting a mop of dyed green hair. JULIE is a bubbly, button-eyed five-year old, very much resembling a living doll.
MARYANNE: ...Pancakes!
BUD: (Crossing his arms) This family stinks!

That bored look on HAROLD'S face is still with him pulling out of his driveway and all throughout his job; operating the machinery that fills mustard into their jars and seals the cap on them. It hasn't left later on in the day when he has pulled back into his driveway. He does a commendable job ignoring cheerful PROFESSOR UTONIUM, who, as it turns out, is his next-door neighbor.
PROFESSOR: Hiya, neighbor! Just trimming the hedges and feeling great! My life's going perfect! Just perfect! Oh, I think I'll sing the My Life Is So Perfect Song: Myyyyyy Liiiiiife is Sooooooo Perrrrrrrrfect!...

HAROLD enters his house and slams the door.
MARYANNE: Hi honey, here's your paper. Oh, Julie has a few friends over, the Powerpuff Girls!

There is a brief flare of real emotion on HAROLD'S face; at the mention of the POWERPUFFS' presence in his home, his eyes squeeze shut and his teeth clench together in a tight grimace. Then it subsides, and his standard bored expression returns, as he first passes by his daughter and her superhero playmates...
JULIE: Look, Daddy! We're playing jacks!

...and then his bitter-looking son on the couch, without so much as a single look at either. He seats himself next to his son.
BUD: I hate you!

As he unfolds his newspaper, the television suddenly comes to life. For the first time, real interest shows on HAROLD'S face.
ANNOUNCER: We interrupt this program to bring you a breaking news update!
WHITFIELD: This is Stanley Whitfield live in front of City Hall, where the evil Mojo Jojo has captured the Mayor and is keeping him hostage inside of City Hall!

As WHITFIELD says this last, the listening POWERPUFFS snap to attention, stop their game of jacks, and zip out through the Smith Family Ceiling, while HAROLD keeps his eyes glued to the screen.
WHITFIELD: We've tapped into a security camera to get a better view of the situation!
WHITFIELD: It seems Mojo Jojo has a raygun to the Mayor's head! How can this be happening?!

At the sight of the cowering Mayor, HAROLD'S mouth curls up into a leer of malevolent glee.
WHITFIELD: I'm standing with Police Chief Hiddledee of the Townsville Police Department. Chief Hiddledee, what is your assessment of the situation?
HIDDLEDEE: Stanley, when dealing with Mojo Jojo, we're talking pure evil!

HAROLD has now started rubbing the palms of his hands together excitedly.
HIDDLEDEE: We've got guns, we've got tanks, we've got missiles all aimed at the Mayor's office, but pure evil cannot be stopped by these methods!

HAROLD gradually brings himself closer and closer to the television until the tip of his sausage-like nose is almost touching the screen.
HIDDLEDEE: It seems as though evil will prevail!
WHITFIELD: Thank you for your time, Chief Hiddledee.

With the news update completed, HAROLD whips his head about conspiratorially. Once he ascertains no one is watching, he sneaks off on tiptoe to his bathroom, and slowly shuts himself into it. Strange construction noises sound from behind the wooden door; drilling and sawing and hammering.
The next morning, the alarm clock sounds again, and HAROLD shuts it off. The zombie look is back on HAROLD'S face as he once again repeats the procedure of cleaning and dressing himself as his wife excitedly scampers on by.
MARYANNE: You'll never guess what's for breakfast!...
MARYANNE: ...Pancakes!
BUD: No one understands me!

HAROLD slogs through another session of mustard filling, but it is back at his couch, in front of his television, where HAROLD'S interest is once again perked up.
ANNOUNCER: We interrupt this program for a breaking news update!
WHITFIELD: Hello, this is Stanley Whitfield live in front of City Hall where Mojo Jojo still has our beloved Mayor captive!
