It's coming right for us!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I love it when they do that.

This new invention of yours is really neat, Mr. Edison!

If you think that's something, Just wait till you see my new electric horseshoe machine. Ha ha.

Pinky, we are witnessing the birth Of a powerful new art form.

[Gasps] Is it decoupage? Narf! I love decoupage!

No, Pinky. Motion pictures. Today, it's simply a novelty. Like most infant technologies, It will take a genius of vision To realize its full potential. Do you know who that visionary is, Pinky?

Hmm. Clarence Birds-eye? [Gasps]

I am that visionary, Pinky.

Oh, right. How silly of me. Hee. Troz!

Behold the future, my friend. Watch as the drawings come to life.

Poit! It's you, Brain. And you're so strong!

Yes! Precisely the image I intend to project, as filmdom's first dashing, charismatic star. We shall make motion pictures that tell of courage, of heroism, of a certain rodent destined to rule the world.

Naaarf!

Because human beings are incapable of distinguishing between reality and the filmed image, they will embrace me as a great leader.

Oh, I hope they embrace me, too! Group hug! Hoo-ha-ha!

Come. We must set the reels of our plan into motion.

Action, pinky.

[Dramatic music]

[Villainous laugh]

Bear witness as I demonstrate my dramatic prowess, Pinky.

Brain. Zort! The train is coming!

Aah, oomph!

[Gasps] I'll save you, Brain!

Brain: no, Pinky. Cut! Waah! Huh.

[Thud]

Both: Aaaaah! Waah. Yaah.

Both: whooooa! Ow!

As soon as I can manage to unscramble my brains, I intend to whisk you, Pinky. Pinky, how's the editing coming?

Snip, snip! All the bad stuff is gone, Just like you asked. Aah!

Mr. Slug: Not another bathing beauty picture! That's enough. Turn it off! I gotta find a new gimmick. Something exciting, Fresh! Hmm. Maybe bathing beauties on a roller coaster!

[Knock on door]

Brain: Ahem.

Mr. Slug: I don't need anymore short subjects!

If you'll pardon me, sir, this reel contains nothing less than a giant leap forward in the creation of cinema As a medium of artistic expression.

Mr. Slug: Who cares?

It also has a damsel in distress Who almost gets squished by a really big train!

Mr. Slug: Ah, now, that sounds more like it! What is this? Is this for real? You guys can't be serious! Ha ha ha ha ha. You're not serious. This is hilarious! Ha ha ha ha ha! A ha ha ha ha ha!

Pinky, I thought you said you cut the bad footage out! I did, brain. Your acting was terrible!

Mr. Slug: wha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ah, Pinky and the Brain! A comedy team! Iiii love it! [Laughter] [Laughter continues]

[Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] [Cheering]

I am pleased that I am the first to be immortalized here at Grauman's Chinese Theater. It is a great honor.

And it's squishy, too! [Laughter] Hee! Uhh!

Oh. I'm sorry.

Norma Talmadge! Who cares about a couple of clowns like Pinky and the Brain, when we can have the footprints Of a great star like you?

Comedy is humiliating, Pinky.

Yes. Narf! Isn't it wonderful! Ha ha ha!

Only as the means to an end. It is time to proceed with the second phase of my film career.

This time, can I be best boy? Gaah!

Mr. Slug: Quit? What do you mean, quit?! You're a big star, boy! People all over the world are laughin' at ya!

Not for long. I'm going to redefine my image by starring in a sweeping dramatic epic. A story of courage, of heroism,

Of a funny little rodent with a great big fat lumpy head!

Mr. Slug: Ha ha! I love it when you do that!

Come, Pinky.

Mr. Slug: But, you can't leave me! I'll be ruined! Ruined! Oh, now what am I gonna do?!

Excuse me, Mr. Slug. Could my son audition for you?

Madame, please remove your brat from the doorway.

Narf! He's a cute little rascal.

Mr. Slug: Ah, little rascal? Hmm.

The sweet flavor of victory Is almost ours, Pinky. Can you taste it?

Um, not really, Brain. I've got licorice stuck in me teeth.

[Laughter]

They're still laughing, Brain.

Soon, they'll forget that I was ever an object of ridicule.

[Laughter]

Is this supposed to be funny?

When's he gonna get squished?

Behold, Pinky. They laugh no longer.

[Snoring]

Kid: Mommy!

Man: I'm going home to do something exciting.

Woman: Yeah, like clip my toenails.

[Murmuring and grumbling]

[Yawn] How long until the movie's over, Brain?

It's been five hours. The film's only half done.

Projectionist: Ok. Show's over.

Wait! You can't stop the movie now.

I just did.

But, this is my big scene. I'm driving the snakes out of Egypt!

Oh, yeah? You're driving the audience out of the theater!

It's true. My career is over.

Oh, cheer up, Brain. You can always make a comeback. Look at what happened to Kaiser Wilhelm.

Don't try to cheer me with your tales of teutonic triumph, Pinky. It's clear that no mouse Is ever going to make a lasting impression on the silver screen.

Hmm.

I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille. Yaah! Oh! Ah! Ooh! Ah! Ooh! Ow! Ooh! Ow! Ah! Ooh! Oh! Oww!

What did you say, Brain?

Um, I said we'd better go back to the lab to prepare for tomorrow night.

Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky: Try to take over the world!

[Applause]
