[A space shuttle lands on what appears to be a sandy, lunar planetoid which 
overlooks the Earth AND the moon.  Two cosmo, er, Astrorangers, ER, -nauts 
disembark from their ship, albiet reluctantly, and start exploring.]

Astronaut #1:  Boy, this ground feels so nice and soft.

Astronaut #2:  Through eith inches of space suit, you mean.

Astronaut #1:  Well, yeah...  hey, do you smell something funny?

Astronaut #2:  Yeah, it smells like that lunch gave you gas.

Astronaut #1:  Oh yeah, I guess that was me.

[The two slowly but surely come by a large lunchbox.]

Astronaut #2:  Hey Bob, it's my brother's "Tragic Task Force ZooRanger" 
lunchbox.  Let's open 'er up.

Astronaut #1:  Yeah, maybe we can find fruit roll-ups or something.

Astronaut #2:  You just ate, you pig.  Besides, how would you eat anything 
through that ridiculous helmet?

[The first astronaut jiggles tha handle and POW!  Four wierdo space goons are 
first is a blueberry coloured and shaped spiky thing named Squint.  next to 
him is a humanlike spider mondey named Baboon.  The third is a golden-armoured 
monkey named Goldinski, and the fourth is a muppet with an onion head named 
Finktser.]

Astronaut #1:  What the heck is taht thing?

Astronaut #2:  It's a cheap japanese special effect!  Let's run now!

[The two astronauts try to scramble away.]

Squint (yelling into Lunchbox):  Hey Rhetta!  Wake up, come on, we're free!

[Rhetta emerges from the lunchbox.]

Rhetta:  Oh man, you guys were really stinking up the place.

Squint:  Especially Goldinski.

Goldinski:  Take that back!

Squint:  Boy, what did you eat in there?  Here's a mint.  (gets whacked by 
Baboon)

Baboon:  Oh let me help you, o horned and powerful one.  Walk with me, talk 
with me.

Rhetta:  You made me step in a puddle, you idiot.  Out of my face, monkeyface.  
(blasts Lunchbox with wand)

Rhetta:  And that's the end of that.

Finkster:  Damn TOIY executives locking us up in there when we were no longer 
needed.

Rhetta (to Astronauts):  So, you want help getting away, huh?

[Rhetta blows the Astronauts away with a breath.]

Rhetta:  To celebrate our freedom, I say we should have a special kind of 
coming out party!

All:  What???

Rhetta:  Not THAT kind of coming out party.

All:  Whew!

---

[Back on Earth, in a southern California town known as Angular Grove...]

Radio:  Angular Grove, Radio!

Drunken DJ:  I wanna give mad shoutouts to Corky and the Juice Pigs-- sorry, 
wrong copy.  And a good Saturday morning to the gyms down at Bernie's Youth 
Hostel.  Keep the water flowing freely.

[The Youth Hostel.  Two tennagers in Red and Black Tee-shirts are there 
beating up on a guy in a Purple Shirt.]

Guy in Purple Shirt:  Aww, come on guys.  Stop beating up on me.  Alright .  
I'm sorry I checked out your girl.

Jason (aka the guy in the red shirt):  All right.  How was my acting skills, 
Zack?

Zack (aka the guy in the black shirt):  Not bad.  Better than some people's 
through, right Chris?

Josh (aka the guy in the purple shirt):  It's Josh.

Jason:  Yeah, whatever Chris.

[In another area, a sexy young thing in a pink leotard is showing off her sexy 
sexy body while doing gymnastics, as a grl in a yellow leotard watches.]

Girl in Pink Leotard:  Spot me, Trini.

Trini (Yellow leotarded girl):  Hey, I don't do that sort of thing, Kimberly.

Kimberly (whining):  Oh come on, I want someone to see my body when I flip!

Josh:  I'll watch.

Kimberly:  No thanks.  Hey, why do we keep calling each other by name, Trini?

Trini:  Because some people don't know us that well.

[A nerd enters, wearing a blue karate gi, and obviously embarrassed about it.]

Nerd (to Jason and Zack)(mumbling):  Hi fellas.

Jason:  hey Billy.

Zack:  What's wrong, bro?

Billy:  I'm not your bro.  I'm your technological superior.  My damn, deadbeat 
dad has it in his head that being the most intelligent person in the world 
isn't enough and threatened to do a 'Kenny' to me if I didn't take Jason's 
stupid 'brawn before brains' class.

Jason:  Hey, now listen here, my class isn't stupid.

Billy:  Fine, it's ignoramous.

Jason:  That's better.  Now, are you ready for the class?

Billy:  Well, I believe that I'm wearing the appropriate attire for my first 
karate class.

Josh:  Close, you forgot your crash helmet.

Trini:  Oh no, don't look who entered.

[Kimberly looks.]

Kimberly:  Ah!  It's Hulk and Dull.

Trini:  I thought I told you not to look.

Kimberly:  I thought you might be trying to hide some cute guys from me 
because I'm *SO* cute.

Trini:  Don't make me gag.

[Hulk and Dull begin strutting around like they own the place.]

Josh:  Looks like a fatman and his daschund.

Hulk:  Well, well, freaking well, look who we got here.

Dull:  Yeah, lookie lookie lookie.

Trini:  Leave us alone, Hulk, we're sick and tired of being teased about our 
bodies all the time.

Dull:  Hey babe, wanna go on a date.

Kimberly:  Not in this Millinium Message.

All:  the wut?

Trini:  Forget it.

Kimberly:  Yeah I've got lines to memorize.

[The guys walk over to the girls.]

Zack:  Problem?

Josh:  Not involving their smells?

Hulk:  Yeah, you.

Hulk:  Um, never mind.

Trini:  This requires a woman's touch.

Josh:  yeah, you go girl.

[Trini and Kimberly loop the two onto the floor.]

Josh (standing on them):  Done yet?

Trini:  You know, you guys aughta join Jason's macho pig chauvanist class.

---

[On the moon, in Rhetta's condominium, Rhetta makes her eye appear larger for
no apparant reason.]

Rhetta:  Yes, ha ha, I like it.

Squint:  Like what?

Rhetta:  This big eye thing.  Finkster, you dirty muppet rag.

Finkster:  Yes, my rotten little windbag?

Rhetta:  What did you call me?

Finkster:  Nothing my evilness.  I will have the Pootie patrollers done in no
time.

---

[The Youth Hostel.  The the teens are giving free karate lessons.  At the side
table, Kimberly Trini and Josh are laughing it up while watching the class
foolishly attempt to imitate all of Jason's moves.]

Trini:  ha ha.  See this?  This is this morning's breakfast.

Kimberly:  Here comes last night's dinner.

Jason:  1... 2... ...um, what's after two?

Josh:  Three.

Jason:  Thanks.  Now, why do we learn the martial arts?

Billy (after raising his hand):  "Self-confidence, temawork, dedication,
fitness, determiniation, and self-esteem."

Josh:  And to pick up chicks.

[As if things couldn't get any better, Hulk and Dull enter, now dressed in
robes and so forth.  They look unbeleivably foolish.]

Hulk:  Alright, Jason-smason, we want YOU to teach us how fatally hurt
people.

Dull:  Yeah, fatally wound people.

Jason:  Karate is not meant to hurt people.  Besides, I'm the only one on the
show who can beat people up.

Hulk:  Fine, just teach us.

Jason:  Hand me my $100 initial fee.

Hulk:  What? You want us to pay for something that we just as easily watch
from the table?

Jason:  Do you want to learn or what?

Hulk:  Dull, hand him the money.

[Dull gives Jason the $100.]

Jason: You're still short a hundred.

Hulk: What!?!

Jason: You both want to learn, I assume.  Well, it's $100 PER person.

Hulk: Just give it to him, Dull.

[Dull snibbles as he empties his wallet out.]

Jason: Thank you.  Now what would you like to learn?

Hulk: Er, what have you got?

Jason: How about I teach you the hurricane kick?

Hulk: That's good.

Jason: Then that'll be another $25.

[Dull does an anime style eyes-bugging-out facefault.]

Hulk: Give him the $25 and don't bother paying for yourself.  Just watch the
master <points at himself> at work.

[Dull mumbles something about rip-off karate lessons and cheapskate friends
as he hands over the money.]

Jason & Hulk: What did you say?

Dull: Er, nothing.

Hulk: That's what I thought.  Now teach, Jason.

Jason: Okay.  First, you do this.

[Jason puts his hands in armspits and starts moving and clucking like a
chicken.  Hulk does likewise.  Then he sticks his in ears and starts dancing.
Hulk follows his lead.  Finally, Jason humps against Hulk.]

Hulk:  Er, Jason, what does this have to do with the hurricane kick?

Jason:  Nothing.  But it is a nice sideshow for the students.  I do it with
all my first-time students.

Billy:  Except me since I threatened to make him look like an idiot in class,
though that wouldn't be hard to do anyway.

Jason:  Shut up, Billy.

Hulk:  Can we get on the hurricane kick?  I really want to hurt people.

Jason:  Fine.  First, kneel down like this.

Hulk:  Yeah...

Jason:  Then, propel yourself into the sky with a slight twist.

[Jason demonstrates the move.]

Jason:  And finally, stick your foot out and do a full twist.

[Jason finishes the demonstration.]

Jason:  Now, you try it.

Hulk:  Er, okay.

[Hulk bends down, but only rips his pants.  Before he notices that, he propels
himself in to the air only a couple of meters and falls to the ground, shaking 
the entire hostel, causing everybody's drinks to fall over and plates of food 
to hit their faces.  Dull claps as everybody stares at him and panics.  Hulk 
also lands on something squishy.]

Josh:  Earthquake!  And oh no, Hulk killed Kenny!

Trini:  No, it's just Hulk, the bastard.

[Everybody panics and starts to run outside.]

Bernie:  Everybody, be calm!

[Everybody calms down and goes back to their seats.  Bernie walks over to the
Karate class.]

Jason:  Class, quiet down!

Bernie:  Jason, I'm afraid either Hulk is going to have to quit your class
or you're no longer teaching here.

Jason:  Aw man, Bernie.  I've got nowhere else to go where I can teach for
free.

Bernie:  Speaking of which, I've decided to start charging you rental space.
I could have more pay-weight machines here in this space, but no, I decided
to be a nice guy and let you teach.  And now, you almost brought down the
Youth Hostel.  No more!

Jason:  That's it! Hulk, you're out.

Hulk:  Then I want my money back!

Dull:  Hulkie, that was my money.

Hulk:  Shut up.

Jason:  Sorry.  Didn't you read the sign?

Hulk:  What sign?

[Jason pulls the sign out of his pocket.]

Jason: This.

[The sign reads "Absolutely, positively, no-buts, irrefusably NO refunds".]

Hulk:  I never saw that sign before.

Jason:  Sorry, no refunds.  I give one to you, I have to give one to everybody
else I threw out.  All right, class, get your ugly rears out of my sight!

[Everybody walks over Hulkie as they leave to change in the unisex changing
room.]

---

[10 minutes later at the Youth Hostel]

Bernie: I always knew those unisex changing rooms would help my establishment.

[At the table near the bar, the six somewhat-friendly teens sit.]

Jason:  Seriously, Billy, you did good today.

Billy:  Seriously?  You not pulling my leg just so I stay in your class and 
pay the exorbinantly high fees.

Jason:  Well, partly, but at least you did better than Hulk.

Josh:  That's true.  He'll never learn Karate in this hostel again.

Kimberly:  Yeah, we were watching you, Billy.  And may I say, Billy, for being
a geek and all, you looked incredibly sexy in your uniform.

Trini:  That's for sure.

Josh:  What if I joined? Would you say I look sexy?

Kimberly:  Not on your life!

Trini:  Nothing could make *you* look sexy.

Josh:  Gee, thanks for stepping all over my ego.

Kimberly:  You're welcome.

Trini:  Yeah.

Kimberly:  Would you mind not following up everything I say?

Trini:  Sorry.

Kimberly:  *sigh*

Jason:  I'm really proud of you, Billy.

Billy:  I don't think it's for me.  I'd rather intimidate my slow-witted
peers by utilizing extensive verbiage.

Jason:  Huh?

Trini:  He want's to be a smart-ass.  Just remember Billy, it's all a state of
mind.

Zack:  Yeah man, it's all down here (points to crotch)

Josh:  You mean here?  (points to his brain)

Zack:  Yeah.  Thanks, Chris.

Josh:  It's JOSH!

[The hostel starts to shake again.  Bernie drops his tray and panics.]

Josh:  Don't worry, it's probably just Hulk again.

Bernie:  Then I am worrying.  I kicked him out five minutes ago.  Oh, no,
it's an earthquake.  Everybody may panic this time!

Billy:  Something tells me this is no earthquake.

Josh:  Why and how?

Billy:  How am I suppose to know?

[An earthquake happens. Everyone runs outside in a panic scene that
would be used about six or seven times. The hardest hit building is a
circular, not so popular dance club outside of town called the Command
Center.]

Robot:  Ohmigodohmigodohmigod!!!

Giant head:  That's not your line.

Robot:  Sorry, Zorkon.  I meant ayiyiyiyi!  It's the big one!  I know it!
We will all be destroyed!  Or sucked into a plot hole!

Zorkon:  Calm down, Beta 5. It's only Rhetta. She has returned.

Beta:  I thought Toiy execs planted her in a lunchbox on the moon, never to be
heard from again!

Zorkon:  And now she has returned. Quickly, Beta.  Teleport to us five 
overbearing, overemotional, OVERZEALOUS, overuseless humanoids.

Beta:  Disc jockeys?

Zorkon:  More overzealous than that.

Beta:  Oh no, not that!  Not TEENAGERS!  I'd rather face Rhetta by myself.

Zorkon:  Don't be silly.  Would you like to be in several pieces?

Beta:  Whether by Rhetta or the teenagers, I'll probably end up in a thousand
pieces.

Zorkon:  *sigh* Just do it, Beta.

Beta:  Alright.  Just stop sounding like a Nike commercial

--

[Angular Grove Youth Hostel...  As everybody panics and rushes out, the six
teens gather and stand near the stairs leading from the lower level of the
hostel to the upper.]

Josh:  Why are we standing here?

Billy:  We're sane, or insane, depending on how you look at it, and are
standing under a support beam of the building where we'll be safe.

Trini: In other words, we're standing here so the plot can continue.

Zack:  We have a plot?

Trini:  No, not really.

Josh:  How come we're wearing these nifty watches that we weren't wearing
before?

Billy:  Hey, those look like the watches that I've been working on.

Jason:  Huh?

Kim:  Whoa, I feel different.

Billy:  Our molecules are being independently scrambled and moleculared
rearranged in another unknown destination.

Kimberly:  Huh?

Trini:  He means we're being taken against our will to some unknown place.

Kimberly:  Oh.

Josh:  So, just who is doing this and where are we going?

Jason:  Josh, just shut up and let us be done with this.

Josh:  Fine.  For all we know, we could be abducted by aliens.

Others:  Josh!

Josh:  What?

Others:  Shut up

[The six teens teleport in strands of light, each color-coded by the color
clothing each teen is wearing.  They fly through the air, bounce off several
mountains like pinballs, then head in towards the command centre, where they
all land in a heap.]

Josh:  Ow, my butt.

Kimberly:  This isn't exactly the supermall, is it?

Zack:  How did we get here?

Trini:  What I'd like to know is where here IS.

Billy:  Maybe these controls will tell us something.

Beta (scrambling):  STEP AWAY!  YOU ARE TOO CLOSE TO THE CONSOLE!  STEP AWAY
FROM THE COMMAND CONSOLE!  (trips)

Josh:  You don't see that everyday.

Billy:  Wow, a neolithic partly-active clusteranimated cellulite automaton!
I've never seen anything like it, except in TV shows from the 60s where the
producers wnated you to think the robots were real.

Zorkon (appearing in his lava lamp):  Greetings, worthless humans.

Trini:  Uh oh, we woke it up.

Jason:  Who are you?

Kimberly:  Like, WHAT are you?

Zorkon:  I am Zorkon, an interdimensional being stuck in this lava lamp
against my will following some unusual circumstances from a previous job as a
rental superheor manager.

Beta:  And my name is Beta V.

Kimberly:  Um, could somebody stop at Earth and pick me up because I am
totally confused.

Trini:  Hold on while we try to contain our surprise.

Kimberly:  hey!

Jason:  So, what are we doing here?

Zorkon:  It's quite simple.  The world is under attack, and I have called
upon y'all to save it.

Josh:  "Y'all"?

Zorkon:  Oh hush up, I haven't had human contact in a while!  Observe the
Disco globe.

[The teens all turn around and see Rhetta riding her flying blender with
Goldinski in tow.]

Zorkon:  That is Rhetta Repulsive.

Josh:  No kidding, she looks like a total--

Jason:  Josh!

Trini:  Why is this footage all grainy?

Zorkon:  No one's cleaned the Disco Globe in a while.

Jason:  you were saying--?

Zorkon:  Once a respected actress in japan, she turned to the dark side of the
Force after being locked up in a piece of shoddy ZooRanger merchandise.

Trini:  ZooRangers?

Zorkon:  Once again, behold the Disco Globe.

[The Disco globe shows a wacky japanese commercial, evidently shot by an
insanitarium escapee.]

 Announcer:  kiteyamata!

 Kids:  ZooRanger keelhaulyee!

 Announcer (as the camera shows kids playing with ZooRanger merchandise and
 japanese letters appear everywhere):  Et kalayati aeriio tendo kyata seenka
 yelownger!  Tuu ta kalhya ha tensee!

 Kids:  Zooranger!

Josh (indifferently):  That was indifferent.

Zorkon:  Getting back to the point, Rhetta has escaped and now, with her
armies of Pootie patrollers, plans to take over the world and use it as a
nest.

Josh:  A wyat?

Jason:  Who'd do it with that witch?

Zorkon:  We'll, er, get into that in the second season.

Kimberly:  I even doubt we'll have a first season.  This is all so cheesy.

Jason:  But Zorkon, you still haven't told us what you need us for.

Zorkon:  Well if you kids weren't all yammering away like my Aunt Bessie I'd
be able to tell you.  (everyone quiets down)  Better.  I have chosen the lot
of you to (starts chuckling) to become a HA HA squad of superheroohahahas to
fi-haha!

[The teens all wait around impatiently for Zorkon to finish.]

Zorkon:  Sorry, just getting ahead of myself.  The six of you will become a 
team of superheroes to fight Rhetta, given the powers and abilities of the 
dinosaurs.

Kimberly:  Dinosaurs?

Zorkon:  Well, not actual dinosars, but close facsimilies.  We don't want to
get our butts sued off here.  (muttering)  I OFFERED to help save a few, but
did they listen, oh NOOO....

Josh:  How can you copyright dinosaurs?

Zorkon:  Why not?  Disney's been doing this kind of thing for years.

[The Power Changers, shiny metal boxes with coins inside, appear on the teens'
belts, or in Jason's case, jockstrap.]

Zack:  What are these things?  They wiegh a ton.

Zorkon:  Those are your power changers.  When in danger, raise them to the sky
or at least get them level to the ground, and call out the name of your dino-
saur facsimile, and you will change into a bunch of japanese guys in spandex
suits, allowing the gullible public to believe you are a somewhat formidable
fighting force known as the Post-Psychadelic Power People.

Kim:  Change?

Billy:  As in Changelodiac.

Trini:  It means to morph.

Josh:  I didn't even know there WAS a word like changelodaic.

Zorkon:  As individual Power Ranger persons you will have access to a semi-
world of power and will pilot giant plastic robot toys known as Zords.

[Blank stares.]

Kimberly:  I STILL don't get it.

Zorkon:  What is the PROBLEM with you people?  Jason, strong and brainless,
burly and bullheaded, you shall command the Tyrannicsoarus Psychozord.

[The Red-Neck Ranger costume materializes on Jason and for a moment we see a
shot of the Tyrannicsoarus Psychozord.]

Zorkon:  Zackary, cowardly and extravagant, egotistical and unloveable, you
shall command the Mackeral Psychozord.

Josh:  Hey, that wasn't a dinosaur!

Zorkon:  Don't contradict me boy or I'll lessen your powers.

Josh:  Sorry.

[The Black Hole Ranger costume materializes on Zack for a moment, then 
disappears.  A shot of the Mackeral zord jumping down a river is seen.]

Zorkon:  William... umm, what are you anyway?  You are the Blue-Faced Ranger,
drawing from the power of the TrirazorTops.

[The Blue-Faced Ranger costume materializes on Billy for a moment, then
disappears.  A shot of the TrirazorTops zord crawling through the desert is
seen.]

Zorkon:  Josh, jerk and stupid, funky and wild, you are the Purple-Urple
Ranger, powered by the Stupid Whop Daygo.

[The Purple-Urple Ranger costume materializes on Josh for a moment, then
disappears.  A shot of the Stupid Whop Daygo zord goeing through the quarry,
banging it's head into things is seen.]

Zorkon:  Trini, decipherer and cool-headed, fearful and paranoid, you are the
Yellow-Bellied Ranger, commanding the Saber-Sawed Tiger.

[The Yellow-Bellied Ranger costume appears on Trini for a moment, then
disappears.  A shot of the Saber-Sawed Tiger heading over a rickety old
bridge, cutting it as it goes along is seen.]

Zorkon:  Kimberly, sexy and pretty, you are the Think Pink Ranger, soaring
ahead sexily with the power of the Ptearitdown.

[The scanty Think Pink Ranger costume appears on Kimberly for a moment, then
disappears.  A shot of the Ptearitdown diving through several construction
sites, waving it's demolition ball is seen.]

Trini:  Hey!

Male People:  *drool*

Kimberly:  I don't know...

Zorkon:  Oh, alright.  Your lost.

Male People:  And ours...

[The regular Think Pink Ranger costume, complete with skirt, appears on
Kimberly for a moment, then disappears.]

Kimberly:  Thanks.

Zorkon:  You're welcome.  And just as the six of you work together, so do
your zords.  When you are in trouble, you need only look to the power of
your DinoBore Dinerzords, which come together to form the DinoBore Megazord.

[Various scenes of the zords appear on the disco globe.]

Zack:  Changers?  Bigzords?  I don't buy it.

Beta:  But we're not selling it.  We're demanding it.

Josh:  Can you repeat that stuff again?

Zorkon:  No.  You'll have to ask someone who was paying attention.

Kimberly:  See ya!

Zack:  Hey Jase, ya coming?

Jason:  Ummm... three?

Zorkon:  Let the force be with you.

Josh:  Yeah yeah yeah!

[The teens all leave through a not-there-before door.]

Beta:  Well, that went as well as could be expected.

Zorkon:  Aw, don't worry about it.  They'll find the flaw in their ways and
will wind up working for me as long as I say.

Beta:  I know what THAT'S like.

Zorkon:  Did you say something?

Beta:  Er, I'm hungry, are you?

Zorkon:  But you're a robot...

---

[Outside the command centre, the Rangers wander outside the command centre.]

Jason:  Yes, I think we've established the fact we're outside the command
centre.

Kimberly:  The least he could have done was send us back into town.

---

[Rhetta's condo.]

Rhetta:  Adolescants?  Don't they realize who I am?  Finkster!

[In his workshop, Finkster is still working.]

Finkster:  I'm almost done, you slave driver.

Rhetta:  WHAT did you say?

Finkster:  Nothing.  These pootie patrollers will make mincemeat out of those
teenagers.  And the beauty is that as long as I keep a good balance of fibre
in my diet, we can always make more.  (stuffs the pooties into the Monster-o-
spasmic device)

Rhetta:  Baboon!  bring on the wheat bran!

---

Jason:  We shouldn't have left.  I mean, he chose US to save our homeworld.  I
say we do it.

Trini:  Do you really think we can?

Jason:  i think the big head was serious.

Zack:  It's a big head!  I mean, come on!

Josh:  Come?  Ewww...

Others:  Can it, Josh.

Josh:  Sorry.

---

[Rhetta looks down on the teens through her scope.]

Rhetta:  it's time!  Send down the pootie patrollers!

---

Kimberly:  What's that?

[Dark, gray-spandexed warriors flip onto the scene and take offensive
positions.]

Jason;  What is this, football?

[One pootie tries to get hold of Kim, who immediantly beats the tar out of
it.]

Jason:  Um, Kim, we're supposed to lose this battle.

Billy:  Yeah, we'll have more time to win against them later.

[More pooties arrive.]

Josh:  Aw, here we go again!

Jason: Stop talking and appear to put up a fight.

[Jason holds his own against the Pootie and keeps kicking them.  Zack,
thinking he's all cool, attempts to dance his way through them.  Trini
attempts to punch the Pooties with straight-hand punches.  Josh attempts to
make the Pooties get each other.  Kim attempts to flip her way free of the
Pooties.  Billy just tries ducking the Pooties.]

Billy:  Wait.  <points to glasses>  You wouldn't hurt someone wearing
glasses, would you?

[The Pootie tries to punch Billy in the face, but gets him in the gut.]

Billy:  Hold it. <puts on his gi> You wouldn't hurt someone who's sexy in a
gi, would you?

[The Pooties stand there making googlie eyes at him.]

Billy: Ah ha!

[One Pootie jumps forward and kicks him in the stomach.]

[Soon all the People are down on the ground in a pile.  Kim just happens to
be on Josh.]

Josh:  Come this way often?

Kim:  Listen to what you just said.  And NO!

[Kim struggles to get up, but falls down again.]

Kim:  Gee, thanks, author.

Josh:  Yeah, thanks.  And eew, gross, I can't believe I said that!  See what
happens when I hang out with these guys?

Author (sweatdropping): Sorry.

Trini:  What do we do now?

Zack:  Mommeee!

Jason:  Wait.  Zorkon says these changers will give us power.  Let's do it!

Josh:  Should we say something cool, yet trite, now?

Jason:  How about "It's Changing Time"?

Josh:  Forget it, let's just do it.

[giant thunderbolt.]

 Zack:  Mackerel!

 Kimberly:  Ptearitdown!

 Billy:  Trirazortops!

 Josh:  Stupid Whop Dingo!

 Trini:  Sabersawed Tiger!

 Jason:  Tyrannicsaurus!

Rangers:  Power People!

---

Beta:  Zorkon look, they did it!  They made the metamorphisis.  (realizes
something)  That means we'll have to see them more often, huh?

Zorkon:  We can worry about that later.  But for now, teleport them to
Angular Grove city.  Rhetta has sent down Goldinski.

Beta:  Duh Angular Grove's a city.  teleporting now.

---

[Post-Psychadelic Power People.]

Josh:  Hey, what's happeneing?

Billy:  We're teleporting again!

Jason:  We're off to save the world.

[The Rangers apear in the city.]

Rangers:  Power People!

[Goldinski and the Pootie jump down from tall buildings and land on the Power
People.]

Jason:  Hey!  You're suppose to land on the ground, not us!

Goldinski:  Just improvising, Red Ranger.

[The Rangers tackle the Pooties, this time easily beating them down.  Kim
especially goes nuclear on them.]

Kimberly:  And...this...is...for...your...ecchi...friend...

Pootie:  Burble burble, burble burble.

Kimberly:  Whatever.

[She punches this Pootie in the crotch, who doubles over in pain, and then she
goes on to kick another in the gut, flips over and tornado kicks another.
Josh punches his way over to congratulate Kim when she comes full force at
him, knocking him over.]

Kimberly:  Sorry.

Josh (Dreamily):  You can do that to me anytime.

[Trini jumps and tackles a Pootie, then takes a moment to examine herself,
feeling pain in her crotch.  Then she freaks.]

Zack:  What's wrong, Trini?

Trini (pointing to crotch):  Look.

[Zack freaks out.]

Zack:  Ohmigod, Trini.  I didn't know you were like that.

[Trini slaps him.]

Trini:  I'm not.  I knew this Changing idea was a bad idea.  Are you
different, Zack?

[Zack feels himself.]

Zack: No...

[The other Rangers join them.]

Jason:  What's wrong?

Trini:  I've...I've...I've....gooott...goota...

Billy:  And you guys thought you had a hard time understanding me.

Zack:  She's got a guy's private.

Others:  Eew.

Zack:  She thinks it's a result of the Changing.  Would everybody else be
so kind as to check for change in sexual areas.

[They check.]

Jason:  Nope.

Billy:  Negative.

Kimberly:  Can't say it happened.

[A pause.  They all look at Josh.]

Jason:  Josh?

Josh:  I've...I've...I've....gooott...goota...

Zack:  What?

Josh:  A girl's area.

[Others except Trini: Eew...]

Billy:  Zorkon must have got your powers mixed up.  That has to be it.

Goldinski:  Ahem.  As nice as it is to hear about your sexual problems, we
*were* in the middle of a battle.

Jason:  We'll have to talk to Zorkon about it later.  Now let's finish this
fight.

[The Rangers all open a case of mediocre whupass on the pooties.]

---

[Rhetta's Condominium.  Rhetta rampages into Finkster's workshop.]

Rhetta:  Finkster!  Those stupid Pooties of yours can't do squat.  They're
being beat by pimplely-face teenagers, and transgendered ones at that.

Squint:  Why not make Goldinski big with your staff?

Finkster:  Was she not just talking to me right now?

Rhetta:  Ugh.  I'm the one who has to do everything around here.  Why did I
even bother buying you guys?

Babboon:  We were on sale?

Rhetta:  Not likely.  I just don't remember.  Finkster, I'll deal with you
later.  Much later. <gets an evil look in her eye>

Finkster:  Oh goody... er, Oh no!

[Rhetta enters her chamber walks up to the balcony.  She lifts her wand and
throws it.]

Rhetta:  Magic Frond, make that nogood Goldinski the size of a skyscraper.

--

[Earth.  The magic fruit hits Goldinski, making him grow.]

Josh:  How did steam from an ordinary water line make him grow?

Kimberly:  Well, it's better than using a feather.

Zack:  I guess.  But look at the size of him.

Trini:  He doesn't seem as big as you, Zack.

Zack:  Trini!

Jason:  How would you even know, Trini, unless you've...

[Everybody except Zack and Trini remove their helmets and gag for a moment,
then put back on their helmets.]

Josh:  I hope nobody saw us.

Trini:  We can't let them know our secret identities?

Josh:  No.  I just don't want anybody to know I'm doing something this
stupid.

Kimberly:  I don't think you have anything to worry about.  I think everybody
ran away at the initial attack.

[In a nearby bush, a Japanese reporter wearing a orange coat is copying the
identities of the rangers into his notebook in Japanese.  Suddenly, he is
squashed by Goldinski.]

Japanese Cartman:  {Oh my god!}

Japanese Kyle:  {He squashed, er, killed Kenny!}

Japanese Stan:  {You BASTARD!}

Zack:  Woah.  That was strange.

Trini:  Not as strange as my change.

Zack:  Oh yeah...

[Each Ranger does a pose before saying there line.]

Jason:  Back off, ya big gold monkey!

Zack:  The Good Guys, aka us, are here!

Billy:  Get the heck off our planet!

Josh:  And you better do it soon!

Trini:  Because we're the Post-Psychadelic Power People!

Kimberly:  And we're not giving up til we beat you.

[They all pose together.]

All: Power People!

[Look at that.  Another shot of Goldinski.]

Jason:  OK!  Dinobore Dinerzord power!

[One by one, the Dinerzords appear from different areas.  The Mackeral leaps 
out of his river and heads toward the battle while shooting water out of it's 
cannons. The Ptearitdown drives through several construction sites, waving 
it's demolition ball. The TrirazorTops crawls through the desert, neatly 
combing it. The Stupid Whop Daygo goes through the quarry, banging it's head 
into things. The Saber-Sawed Tiger heads over a rickety old bridge, cutting it 
as it goes along. The Tyrannicsoarus walks through it's wilderness, holding a 
sack of saki and adjusting it's crown.]

[The People jump aboard their Dinerzords.]

Jason:  Heeya!

Billy&Zack&Josh:  Kweehya!

Trini&Kimberly:  Heeya!

Jason:  People, lock in!

Zack:  Zack here.  This is smoking!

Billy:  This is Billy, the smart one. All systems down!

Trini:  Trini here.  Ready to rock 'n' roll!

Kimberly:  Kim here. Nice CD player.

Josh:  You know who it is.  Ready to feel rediculous.

Jason:  Megatank mode on!

All:  You want a power up!

[The Mackeral and Stupid Whop Daygo form the cannons, the TriRazorTops and
Saber-Sawed Tiger form the tank treads, and the Tyrannicsoarus froms the
torso. The Ptearitdown forms the out-in-the-open decoy target, thus finally
merging the DinoBore Megatank.]

Trini:  This is silly.  I can't believe I know how to drive something I've
been in for only 30 seconds.

Billy:  I can't believe this is second nature to me.  I feel so dirty.

Jason:  Alright, guys, let's kick this dude's butt!

[Goldinski throws fireballs at the Megazord.  Fake explosions and smoke
eminate from the wounds.  The People make moaning noises as they shake in
the cockpit.]

Goldinski:  I am your superior.

Jason:  Let's show him what we're made of.  Gak him!

[The cannons and zord eyes fire gak at Goldinski, exploding on contact.]

Jason: Again!

[The cannons and zord eyes fire gak at Goldinski, exploding on contact.]

Jason: Again!

[The cannons and zord eyes fire gak at Goldinski, exploding on contact.]

Jason: Again!

[The cannons and zord eyes fire gak at Goldinski, exploding on contact.]

Josh:  OK, I think our leader is a little too trigger-happy.

All:  Alright!

Jason:  Let's finish this.

Others:  Right!

Jason:  Power up DinoBore Megazord mode!

Megazord:  Kowata no ginga yota-- I mean, DinoBore Megazord squence initiated.

[The Mackeral and Stupid Whop Daygo form the arms, the TriRazorTops and
Saber-Sawed Tiger form the legs, and the Tyrannicsoarus froms the torso.
The Ptearitdown forms the chest, thus finally merging the DinoBore MegaZord.]

Voice:  Megahunkajunkazord activated.  No smoking.  Please fasten seat belts.
Winners don't use drugs.  remember the white zone is for--

All:  We get the picture!

[Goldinski jumps at the Megazord and hits the head with his sword.  Everybody
shakes and bounces.]

Josh:  STOP WITH THE SEXUAL INNUENDOES!!!

Jason:  Josh, shut up and let me DRIVE!

[Goldinski slices the chest, causing more sparks to be emitted.  Then he
returns for another hit, but the Megazord blocks with its arm.  Goldinski
then gets in two more slashes before the Megazord ineffectively elbows him
in the gut.]

Billy:  Jase, that last blow didn't even knock him out!

Jason:  Man!

[Goldinski gets back up.]

Jason:  Here he comes again.

Trini:  Not a word, Josh...

Josh:  What!?!

[Goldinski jump kicks the Megazord with both feet.]

Billy:  That jumpkick recharged our systems like a jumpkick would do to a
car.  Let's finish this.

Jason:  Right.  We need the Cower Sword!

[The Megazord's sabre falls out of the sky and slashes the Megazord's hand.]

Jason:  Hey!

(Zorkon): Oops, sorry.

Jason:  Now let's finish him.  Cower Sword, hee-ya!

Goldinski:  Like the wimp I am, I'll depart now so I can laught another day.
Count on it!

Jason:  We did it!

Josh:  Is it me, or during that battle, our the cockpit door switched from
having an emblem on it to not having an emblem on it?

Billy:  It was probably just your imagination, Josh.

BGM:  You Post-Psychodelic Power People!

----
[back at the palace]

Rhetta:  I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CHICKENED OUT LIKE THAT!!

Goldinski:  It's not my fault!  I'll get them next time!

Rhetta:   This is all your fault, Squint.

Squint:  But what did I do?

Rhetta:  And as for you, Finkster...

Finkster:  Uh oh...

---

[Back at the command center, everyone's jammering while Zorkon's trying
to talk.]

Zorkon (loudly):  CORK IT!

[They all stand at attention as Zorkon looks down at them.]

Josh:  Could you stop looking down at us?

Zorkon:  No.  You did a lousy job today, and even though you did if you had
listened to me in the first place alot of this could have been averted.  Now
listen up to the four cardinal rules of your powers.  First, never use your
powers for personal gain, unless you really really want to.  Second, never
escalate a battle unless ratings call for it...

Josh:  Aren't we supposed to have _any_ fun with these powers?

[The teens collectively smack him.]

Zorkon:  And finally, keep your identites secret.  No one may know that
you are a Power Person. If Toiy finds out what we're doing with their
old tapes, we'll be sued.  Which means, get rid of that drum playing
monkey in the corner of the screen!

[Drum play monkey goes bye bye]

Josh:  That's only three rules.

Zorkon:  Shut up!

Zack:  Wait a sec.

Zorkon:  Yes, Zachary, what is it, you have... 15 seconds.

Zack:  Well, me and the guys, and Chris...

Josh:  JOSH!!!!

Zack:  We were pretty lucky this time.

Zorkon:  I don't know what it was that enabled you to win, but there was too
much of it to call it luck.  You need each other now.  And the world needs you.

Zack:  I still say it was luck.

Zorkon:  Whatever it is we're basing an entire internet television series on
it, so let's hope it continues.

Josh:  Do we have to do it?

Zorkon:  Yes,  Joshua.

Jason:  Alright! I'm in!

Zack:  me too!

Trini:  You can count on me!

Billy:  Affirmative!

Josh:  Why not.. It's something to do.  When do we get paid?

Zorkon:  You don't.

Josh:  Aw, f***... I'll do it anyways.

Kimberly:  I don't know, you guys.  I mean, I like the helmets and pink is
good on me, but my Zord spit out my favorite Indigo Girls CD at me.  I
don't think I can do it.

[Everyone moans.]

Beta:  Kimberly, no!

Kim:  NOT!

Beta:  Short circuit!  Short circuit!  Ayiyiyiy! Ohmigodohmigodohmigod!!
(spouts Japanese)

Kim:  Beta!  I didn't mean it!

Beta (impersonation of the Vancome lady):  shuuuu....You know what?
Uh-uh!

Jason:  Let's do it, People.

Josh:  Eew!

Others:  Forget about it, Josh.

[The Rangers place their hands on top of each others.  Everybody keeps
trying to place their hand on the very top until Zorkon zaps them.]

Zorkon:  Quit it and do it.

Rangers:  POWER PEOPLE!!

[And so, our story begins.  Is the world ready for the likes of these
people?]
