A.J.: Nope! I don't speak girl!

Timmy/Timantha: [high pitched scream] What did you do? ! I didn't wish for this! [strikes a modeling pose and a wolf whistle is then heard, Timmy hears this and puts his hands behind his back]

Wanda: [while filing her nails with her wand] Well you said "I wish" and "girl".

Timmy/Timantha: Oh yeah! Well...well you know what I think!

Cosmo: Who cares what you think! You're a girl now! [Cosmo laughs while Wanda is shown smiling almost devilishly]

---

Timantha: Hey! I think like a girl now! I can totally use my girl brain and figure out what to get Trixie for her birthday!

Cosmo: Oh, that's a great idea, little girly girly! [he spins around]

Wanda: Can I get the door for you, ma'am?

[Cosmo and Wanda start laughing. Cosmo says ma'am between laughs]

---

Timantha: No! I'm off to the mall to find something Trixie will like. But just so you two have something to laugh at while I'm gone, I wish you [points at Cosmo] were a woman and you [points at Wanda] were a man!

Cosmo and Wanda: What?

Timantha: You're my godparents. No choice.

[Cosmo and Wanda close their eyes and grant the wish. They are then shown with their genders swapped with a duck quack being briefly heard in the background]

Timantha: Congratulations! You are now Cosma and Wando!

Cosma: (gasps) What's happening? How come I suddenly know which boy bands rock out loud?

Wando: I don't know! Why am I tempted to scratch myself and not care who sees?

Timantha: See ya! [closes the door]

Timantha: Do I still like comic books? [thinks] Muscular guys in spandex fighting crime? Cool!

[After Timantha encounters Trixie in a comic book store]

Timantha: Trixie Tang?

Trixie Tang: No! I'm in here by accident, understand? Accident! If word gets out, I like boy's stuff all, my friends will think I'm weird. Please, please keep it our secret! Girl to girl?

Timantha: Well... okay.

Trixie Tang: Deal! You're my new best friend! [pulls out a picture of Veronica and tears it in half]

[Elsewhere in the mall, Veronica instantly keels over in pain]

Timantha: Ugh! Boy or girl that's still gross!

Chester: [hammering boards over the bathroom door] I don't know what's up with those girls, but we'll be safe here.

A.J.: Don't you think you're overreacting?

Chester: Dude, boys like comic books; girls like dolls. Boys like video games; girls like makeup. We're different! That's why we have different bathrooms!

Veronica: [comes out of stall] Um, am I in the wrong room?

Chester: [screams and then starts tearing away at the boards on the door] Nothing makes sense anymore!!

A.J.: [to Veronica] Frog?

Trixie: You know, all week, people have been asking me what I wanted for my birthday, and you've given it to me.

Timantha: I have?

Trixie: You've given me a friend who likes me for whom I am.

Timantha: That's all you wanted for your birthday? A friend?

Trixie: Yep! Someone who isn't afraid to say "Hey, I like Kissy Kissy Goo Goo and Skull Squisher!" If you were a boy, I'd totally date you.

---

Timmy: Trixie! *Ahem* [inter-spliced with "blah-blahs"] You know, I like you for who you are... [Trixie gets out a translator] ...not for what everyone expects you to be; a friend to you, someone who isn't afraid to say, 'Hey, I like Kissy Kissy Goo Goo and Skull Squisher too!'

Trixie: Oh my gosh! That is so sweet... but, uhh, that's what I have girlfriends for. SECURITY!

Cosma\Cosmo: What do think? This? Or this? Which goes better with my eyes?
