The Evillustrator/Transcript

[ Theme Song ]

''Scene: College Francoise Dupont. Marinette is being chased by two villains.''

Marinette: Heeelp!

(Marinette runs away from Stormy Weather, but she finds Lady Wifi. Lady Wifi puts a pink pause symbol on her, and Stormy Weather freezes her with her parasol. But then, Super Nathan arrives, and erases Stormy Weather's parasol. He traps the two villains on a cage he draws. He also erases the ice block Marinette is trapped in)

Marinette: Oh, Super Nathan, you're my hero!

Nathanael: It was nothing.

Marinette: I love you!

Nathanael: I love you too, Marinette.

Ms. Mendeleiev: Nathanael! What are you drawing?

(Nathanael wakes up, revealing the scene to be a dream)

Nathanael: Wha, wha---

Ms. Mendeleiev: And these artistic endeavours are clearly why you are failing science.

Nathanael: I'm sorry...

Ms. Mendeleiev: You go march yourself down to the principal's office and show him that checked scratch! Then you'll be really sorry!

(Nathanael trips wiith a backpack and falls, dropping his sketchbook. Chloe grabs it)

Chloe: Ooh! Look, Sabrina! It's him as a superhero! And look who he's saving! It's Marinette!

Marinette: Ah-

Chloe: He's so totally crushing on you, Marinette!

Nathanael: Gimme that!

Ms. Mendeleiev: Enough! Nathanael, go!

Scene: Hawk Moth's lair.

Hawk Moth: Ahhh... Artists can be so emotional. I love it. (turns a butterfly into an akuma) Fly day, my little akuma. Draw him into our evil whim!

''Scene: College hallway. Nathanael drops his pencil, but when he grabs it, an akuma flies and possesses it.''

Hawk Moth: Are you tired of having your creative spirit crushed? Evillustrator, I'm your friend and patron of the arts. I'm here to offet you support. But I don't give this kind of power for free. I have a couple of items that need retrieving.

Nathanael: Just tell me what you want. (turns into the Evillustrator)

Scene: Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom.

Ms. Mendeleiev: The next particle physics presentation group is Nino, Adrien and Alya!

Marinette: Oh! So lucky!

Ms. Mendeleiev: And then, Sabrina, Chloe and Marinette.

Alya: So unlucky.

Chloe: Uh, Miss, can't you add her to another group? Sabrina and I work much better on our own.

Ms. Mendeleiev: This is a group presentation, not pairs! Deal with it.

Chloe: I hate dealing with it!

Marinette: You wouldn't be willing to trade groups, would ya?

Alya: And deal with that twosome terror? Sorry. But I promise to talk all about you in between particles and the physics!

Marinette: You're the best! (glomps her)

Scene: Locker room.

Chloe: Forget it, Sabrina. I don't have time for some dumb project. Besides, now you have Marinette to help you.

Sabrina: Okay, that's fine Chloe. Will do the work. Don't worry.

Marinette: Um, is everything okay?

Chloe: It's fine, Marinette.

Marinette: Well then, why can't you help us with the project?

Chloe: None of your business, Miss Nosy!

Marinette: Uh, actually, since I'm part of this group, it is.

Sabrina: It's okay, Marinette. You and I will do all the research, and the writing for our project, and then, Chloe can present it! That way it's equal.

Marinette: That's not equal at all! Is that how you two work!

Sabrina: Yeah! We've been doing this ever since grade school, when I started doing Chloe's homework! And we've been BFFs ever since!

Chloe: You got a problem with that? Come on, Sabrina.

Marinette: Sabrina, Chloe's totally taking advantage of you. You don't have to do what she says. That's not how a real best friend acts!

Chloe: Ugh, not only am I Sabrina's best friend, I'm her only friend, so she better do what I say, 'cause without me, she has nothing.

Mairnette: Well, I'd rather have no friends than be friends with you.

Chloe: Whatever. I've got more important things to worry about. My hair is a hot mess and Jean-Claude promised to work his magic. Later!

Scene: College hallway. Marinette leaves, when suddenly...

Sabrina: Marinette! (hugs her) I can't believe you stood up to Chloe like that! It waas so amazing.

Marinette: Uhh, well...Yeah, what are friends for?

Sabrina: You are my friend, and I'm really super excited to hang out with you, and have a new best friend who actually helps with the project! We're going to have the absolute best time together! Then, we'll do the presentation, and tell Ms. Mendeleiev the truth about Chloe! Sound good?

Marinette: Sounds...great?

Sabrina: Yaay! Then I'll see you in the library, bestie!

''Scene: Library. Marinette won't do Chloe's assignment.

Chloe: Ugh! What do you mean, you're not doing my assignment?

Sabrina: Marinette's right! I...I'm not your slave!

Marinette: I never actually said that...

Chloe: But Marinette didn't buy a super cute beret at Gabriel's, and I did! And perhaps they could lend it to you.

Marinette: Excuse me, but are you trying to bribe her into staying your friend? With a hat?

Sabrina: Uhhh... Really, really adorable hat! That would look fantastic on me!

Chloe: No, excuse ME, but you are trying to steal my friend from me with homework!

(The Evillustrator sees them, and draws a beret on his pad. Suddenly, berets fall from above, and one falls on Chloe)

Chloe: Ahh! My hair!

(The Evillustrator draws a hairblower)

Chloe: Ahhh! Please! Please! Ahhhh!

(Adrien sees her in distress)

[Transformation Sequence ]

Adrien: Plagg, claws out! (Adrien turns into Cat Noir)

Chloe: No! Not the hair!

Marinette: Time to transform!

 [ Transformation Sequence ]

Marinette: Tikki, spots on! Ha! (Marinette turns into Ladybug)

Chloe: No! Stop!

(Ladybug arrives and stops the hairblower with her yo-yo)

Ladybug: Run and hide!

(Chloe hides)

Cat Noir: I got wind that you were being blown away by a hairy situation.

Ladybug: Fewer puns, more action!

(Ladybug and Cat Noir stop the hairblower, and disintegrates it)

Cat Noir: (sees the Evillustrator) Well, that guy looks pretty sketchy!

(Ladybug and Cat Noir go after the Evillustrator, but he draws a wall)

Ladybug: Where'd he go?

Cat Noir: I don't know, but he sure has a way of illustrating his point.

Ladybug: Ughhh...

Scene: The hotel.

Cat Noir: Seems this Evillustrator's targeting you specifically, Chloe. Any idea why?

Chloe: No. Everyone adores me.

Ladybug: Yeah, because you're so adorable.

Chloe: Yeesss! Ladybug just said I'm adorable! I totally need a picture of the two of us together! (takes a picture of her and Ladybug with her cellphone)

Ladybug: Ugh! That was unpleasant.

Chloe: Well, I look great, of course, but your smile is all wonky. I'll take another! (takes another picture of them)

Ladybug: Sorry, I'm just a little camera shy.

Cat Noir: Looks like somebody's got a fan!

Ladybug: Yeah, great.

Cat Noir: So what's the deal? Why are you acting so weird? Come on, you gotta admit that having this girl worship you is pretty awesome.

Ladybug: (sees Nathanael's drawing, spoiled by Chloe) Ugh, seriously? I'm over this! Let's go!

Cat Noir: Are you kidding me? And what if the Evillustrator attacks her again?

Ladybug: Fine! You stay! Later!

Cat Noir: What do you mean later?

Ladybug: I mean, you're the one who wants protectors, but you don't need me. So, later! (Swings away)

Chloe: Ahhh! Ladybug! Text me, okay?

''Scene: Dupain-Cheng House. Ladybug reaches the trapdoor of her room, and detransforms into Marinette. She throws her purse on her bed.''

Tikki: Uh! Hey!

Marinette: Sorry, Tikki...Chloe! She just...fires up this little red bug!

Tikki: Well, simmer down! A hot head isn't going to get you anywhere!

Marinette: It's hard to keep my cool. Especially in school. Oh my gosh! Sabrina! The project! (She checke her cellphone, and sees a lot of lost calls from Sabrina)

Tikki: Uh-oh... Looks like you got yourself a new BFF!

(Suddenly, Tikki sees someons in the window, and she hides. The one in the window is the Evillustrator, erasing the window door.)

Marinette: It's you! From the library! What are you doing here?

Evillustrator: I just wanted to see you.

Marinette: Okay... But why did you attack Chloe?

Evillustrator: 'Cause Chloe is cruel and selfish!

Marinette: Can't argue with that... Are you going to hurt me?

Evillustrator: You? You're Marinette! You're beautiful and sweet and... you're perfect and I could never hurt you!

Marinette: Wow...that's, uh... very, umm...flattering! Uh, thank you?

Evillustrator: So, I just came by to ask you, it, uh, well, it's my birthday today, and, uh, would you wanna come to my party?

Marinette: Oh, umm... Actually, it's not really the best night. See, I got a presentation to work on, and...I have to call my friend, so we can meet and...

Evillustrator: Oh please, Marinette! It'll just be you and me. (draws an invitation and gives it to her)

Marinette: Oh my gosh! That's...me!

Evillustrator: You like it?

Marinette: I...love it! So much that I will absolutely be at your party. On one condition.

Evillustrator: Anything for you, Marinette.

Marinette: You can't hurt Chloe anymore. I simply cannot bear violence.

Evillustrator: For you and only you. Meet you in the love bank, next to Notre-Dame, at sunset! (draws a rocketpack, and flies away)

Marinette; Ahh....

Tikki: What are you thinking, Marinette?

Marinette: I'm thinking poor Nathanael's got a crush on me. And his alter ego, the Evillustrator's gonna get crushed by Ladybug!

Tikki: Yes, but... how exactly is Ladybug going to crush this crush when...you're going on a date with a miss Marinette?

Marinette: Oh, maybe some cool cat needs to crash the party.

Scene: The hotel

Chloe: Ohhh... Sabrina is so selfish! Making me do this project by myself?! Ugh, my brain hurts... Huh? Hey! Cat Noir, Are you any good at particle physics?

Cat Noir: Oh, this cat's got particle physics in the back.

Chloe: Ah! Great! (pulls his arm) Sit, kitty! (gives him the project) Now, make it sound purr-fect for my presentation. See what I did? I made a cat joke! Ah! I can be funny.

Cat Noir: Yeah, hilarious. (his staff rings, he answers it) You can't just fly out of here and then decide to make cat calls, Ladybug!

Marinette: (from phone) I'm sorry, that was a call. But you can leave Chloe. I need you to protect this girl instead. Her name is Marinette. Really cute, isn't she? The Evillustrator is in love with her, and promised not to harm Chloe as long as Marinette comes to his birthday party.

(Chloe dings Cat Noir's bell)

Marinette: While he's distracted, I want you to take him down.

Cat Noir: What about you?

Marinette: I'm going on... a very important secret mission. I'll catch up with you later.Can you handle this alone?

Cat Noir: Ha! Please! It'll be a cinch! (closes the phone, and says to Chloe) You're out of danger, uh, so I'll see ya! Later!

Chloe: Later?! What about my presentation?! Ughhhh!

''Scene: Dupain-Cheng house. Sabrina arrives at the front door.''

Mairnette: Oh! Sabrina! You scared me.

Sabrina: Sorry...I was just waiting for you. Did you get my messages?

Marinette: Yes! Yes I did! And I was totally gonna call you.

Sabrina: You were? I knew you would! Eventually. And so? I did your Geography homework!

Marinette: Whoa! You didn't have to do that.

Sabrina: Well, since you're my new best friend, it's the least I can do.

Marinette: Thanks, but I just can't.

Sabrina: Really?

Marinette: Oh, okay, but just this once.

Sabrina: Great! So, you wanna work on the physics project tonight?

Marinette: Uhhh, I'm so sorry Sabrina, I've got something really important that I have to do.

Sabrina: Something really important? Really? That's fascinating. Oh, you know who else uses that excuse all the time, don't you?

Marinette: Um, no?

Sabrina: Chloe! I'm beginning to see how similar you two are! I bet you'd expect me to do all the work like she did, right?

Marinette: No! I don't! Really! It's just that--

Sabrina: (grabs the notebook) I can't believe I did your Goegraphy homework for you... (Suddenly, Cat Noir appears)

Cat Noir: Whoo-hoo! I thought I was going to have to save you from that girl's claws. Get it? Claws? Hey, I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Cat Noir.

Marinette: Uh, yeah... I know! You kinda save the day all the time and stuff...I'm Marinette! So... What are you doing here?

Cat Noir: Well, that birthday boy date of yours is bad news. But don't worry. You'll be safe with me.

Marinette: That puts my mind at ease.

Cat Noir: But I am going to need a little help. Care to assist a superhero?

Marinette: What about Ladybug? Aren't you a duo?

Cat Noir: She's busy with something tonight, so...You get to be my Ladybug.

Marinette: Me and Cat Noir? Fighting crime together? Amazing! What do I do?

Cat Noir: Just get that drawing pencil away from it, little lady. I'll take care of the rest. (jumps away)

Marinette: (giggles)

''Scene: Notre Dame, at night. The Evillustrator is preparing everything for his birthday date.''

Hawk Moth: That is a lovely little scene you're setting. But I don't want you to get distracted, boy.

Evillustrator: But I just want Marinette to love me.

Hawk Moth: And I want the Miraculous. So get it! Or else.

(The Evillustratos hand is paralyzed)

Evillustrator: Okay, I will, I will!

(Suddenly, Marinette arrives)

Marinette: Happy birthday.

Evillustrator: Marinette!

(Marinette and the Evillustrator stroll by)

Evillustrator: Thank you for accepting my invitation.

Marinette: Wow, it's so beautiful.

Evillustrator: You like it? Well hold on, 'cause I'm just getting started.

(He is about to draw something, but dark clouds appear)

Evillustrator: Grr! Come on, you've gotta be kidding me!

Marinette: Huh?

Evillustrator: Uhh, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. It's just... I can't draw properly in the dark.

Marinette: Hmm!

Evillustrator: (Draws a glowing moon) Voila!

(Marinette and the Evillustrator ride the boat, while the Evillustrator plays some music on his pad. Marinette notices Cat Noir leaping)

Marinette: You're so talented! I just don't understand why you wanna use your power to hurt people.

Evillustrator: Not all people. Just Chloe. And I'm never doing that again. After all, you were true to your promise, so I'll be true to mine.

(Cat Noir notices them, and leaps directly to the boat)

Marinette: I...actually draw a little too, I'm not as good as you are, of course.

Evillustrator: I'm sure you're a wonderful artist.

Marinette: Well, can I draw you something special for your birthday?
