Battle for the Planet

PINKY: Gee, Brain, what do you wanna do tonight? BRAIN: The same thing we do every night, Pinky! Try to take over the world! {Pinky and the Brain theme} Y,W,D: They're Pinky and the Brain, They're Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius, the other's insane! To prove their mousey worth, They'll overthrow the earth. They're dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain-Brain-Brain-Brain-Brain! BATTLE FOR THE PLANET - By: PETER HASTINGS Director: ALFRED GIMENO Animation: WANG FILM PRODUCTIONS BRAIN: Hallowe'en, Pinky, 1938. The Mercury Radio Theatre presented an adaptation of H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds" that was so       realistic, people actually fled the cities believing that creatures from Mars were attacking the Earth. It proved that radio was a       powerful tool. And now, Pinky, the advance of technology has brought us an even more powerful tool. Do you know what that is? PINKY: Um ... the rubber band? BRAIN: The workings of your mind are a mystery to me, Pinky. PINKY: Ooh, I love a good mystery, Brain! BRAIN: Television, Pinky, is our new tool! We will pirate the airwaves and stage a hoax like "War of the Worlds". PINKY: *Three* cameras, Brain? BRAIN: Yes! A technique pioneered by the great Desi Arnez! And with them, we will scare the people of the cities, leaving no resistance behind! We will have taken over the world! PINKY: Egad, Brain, Brilliant! Oh, oh, wait, no, no -- why would they be       scared of us? We're so small, um, we're practically the size of       mice, Brain! BRAIN: We *are* mice, Pinky. PINKY: Oh, right. Well, there you are then. Nya-ha-ha! BRAIN: It's not a question of size, Pinky. It's a question of scale. Watch the monitor. PINKY: Zounds, Brain! You're gigantic! BRAIN: Television, Pinky -- the great deceptor! PINKY: Narf!! {Pinky and the Brain theme} BRAIN: How is my disguise, Pinky? PINKY: Oh! Is that you, Brain? BRAIN: You flatter me, Pinky. Now throw the switch and let us begin -- The Battle for the Planet! {Powerhouse-like music} GUY 1: Huh? BRAIN: We interrupt your regular broadcast to bring you this important news bulletin! GUY 2: What is THAT? GUY 1: Someone's pirated the TV lines! BRAIN: Scientists have just reported that a large unidentified flying object seems to be heading towards Earth! There is no cause for alarm ... but there probably will be. VIEWERS: {Animaniacs theme} BRAIN: We take you now to our satellite view of the planet, perhaps to        catch a glimpse of this fearful courier of the unknown! PINKY: Whooosh! Wheeee, whooosh! BRAIN: I've just received word that the UFO is about to crash-land near-by! There should be a great explosion! ...       [Louder] I said, there should be a great explosion!! PINKY: Oh, oh, right, Brain! NARF! Sorry, Brain! BRAIN: We'll go live to the crash site momentarily. BRAIN: I'm reporting to you live from the crash site, and I...I'm at        a loss for words. Can we get a shot of this Very Frightening scene? I am now positioned close to the ... well, I can only assume that this is a vehicle from outer space, it's occupants here to destory the Earth. Wait -- there's a strange noise emanating from inside ... Something seems to be coming out of       the ship! PINKY: [Wailing] BRAIN: Oh my! It's hideous! Ladies and gentlemen, I can hardly describe this terrifying creature before me, except to say -- run for your lives! Go on, empty the cities! Leave everything behind! I -- I       don't know how long I can stay on the air. I'll try to get to our aerial view in chopper 5! BRAIN: [Flapping jacket]  Chopper 5, high above the city. The horrible creatures from Mars, invading, destroying -- everything in their path! Oh, the humanity! PINKY: [Screeching] BRAIN: This is no hoax, ladies and gentlemen! I urge you to run for your lives while you can! We're not making this up just so we       can take over the world! Oh, no! It's heading this way! Run for your lives! Run for your lives!!! PINKY: [Wailing, etc.]  Waaaaaaaggghhhhh! Yeaaauuuuh...! BRAIN: We did it, Pinky. Brilliant performance! Undoubtedly, the population has fled in fear from their terrifying enemy! Hah! {Pinky and the Brain theme} Let us make haste! To the Whitehouse! "'Battle for the Planet' is a comedy smash! World laughs together!        Stay home for this one!" PEOPLE: [Laughing hysterically] BRAIN: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering? PINKY: I think so, Brain, but if we didn't *have* ears, well, we'd look like weasels! BRAIN: No, Pinky! Our hoax! No one went anywhere! No one fled the cities, they found us ... humourous. PINKY: Where are you going, Brain? BRAIN: Back to our cage, Pinky. We must plan for tomorrow night. PINKY: Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night? BRAIN: The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world! Y,W,D: They're dinky, they're Pinky and the Brain-Brain-Brain-Brain-Brain!
