(Opening shot: the city skyline at night.)

Narrator: The city of Towns— (He stops himself and begins again in a whisper.) Sorry. The city of Townsville. A city that sleeps. (A clock ticks.) A tired town with an early, early bedtime.

(Pan slowly along a street; the lights of restaurants and clubs are being turned off for the night.)

Narrator: No need for late nights here. Gotta get that beauty sleep.

(On another block, a car appears to close its eyes, dousing its headlights, and a policeman sleeps standing up at the corner.)

Narrator: (yawning) So peaceful, the empty streets.

Cop 1: (mumbling in sleep) ...is in the air...

(Dissolve to a street on the outskirts of town and pan slowly toward the girls' house.)

Narrator: Even in the suburbs, Townsville's citizens are tucked away in their beds.

(Dissolve to the Professor's bedroom; the city proper is visible from his window. He sleeps sitting up in bed, pipe in hand and notes scattered in front of him. A microscope sits on a stand near the bed. He is still wearing his lab coat.)

Narrator: (chuckling) Still haven't found that unified theory, eh, Professor?

(Now we see Blossom asleep in bed. Pan right to show her sisters, also sleeping.)

Narrator: Ah, here's our girls, far away in a dreamy slumber.

(Bubbles is cradling Octi; Buttercup throws punches at the empty air on the side of the bed, possibly dreaming of her beating up a bad guy. Camera stops on her.)

Narrator: (chuckling) Go get 'em, Buttercup. Yes, everyone's resting up for a bright new day.

(Cut to the exterior of the museum.)

Narrator: But wait. What's this? (Cut to the upper stories and tilt down to a ground-floor window that has been cut through.) Someone in Townsville is not asleep.

(Inside, the camera pans quickly across a few galleries to the sound of stealthy footsteps. Cut to a security guard asleep at his monitoring station; the screen in front of him displays the Anubis statue from "Monkey See, Doggie Do" on a pedestal. A flash of light hides the image for a moment, and a photograph of the scene is slipped into place. Close-up of the surveillance camera as a white-gloved hand—Mojo Jojo's—attaches the photo and he gasps softly. Cut to a long shot of the statue and zoom in slowly, to the should of more footsteps and his voice—his perspective of the gallery.)

Mojo: Ooh...yes...

(Close-up of a tripwire surrounding the pedestal; Mojo steps up to it. Two clamps are quickly set in place to keep the tension on to avoid tripping the alarm, and he clips the wire with scissors. Cut to the pedestal; he sprays powder into the air, revealing a net of laser beams surrounding the statue. He pushes it carefully out through the beams. Note that this time, the Anubis head is shown to be covered in cracks, indicating it had been glued back together after its original demise in "Monkey See, Doggie Do".)

(Long shot of one gallery; Mojo's shadow is cast large on the back wall as he makes his way out with the statue. He chuckles to himself, then stops and snaps his fingers as if remembering something.)

Mojo: Oh!

(Close-up of the Anubial Jewels in their display case, which appear to be completely intact, with no cracks on them like the Anubis head, despite being shown shattering with the Anubis head back in "Monkey See, Doggie Do"; he smashes this with the statue and removes them, triggering the alarm.)
