Narf!

At last,
professor mifune,

You have perfected
the process

Of shrinking
electronic devices.

So we can sell them
to americans

For lots of money.

Yes, shimura.
Now I say to you,

Miniaturization
will be very big! Ha ha!

Ha! Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha!

Flash! Rumored sightings

Of legendary prehistoric
monster gollyzilla

Cause thousands to flee
for their lives
in northern japan.

[Telephone rings]

Yes?

Yes. Very well.

That was the emperor.

He wants your
scientific opinion
on gollyzilla.

Gollyzilla!

Come. There is
no time to lose!

Narf! Brain, let us go
and see gollyzilla.

We can watch excitedly
as he crushes buildings,

And then flee in terror.

Snap out of it,
pinky.

Oh! Thanks, brain.

This scientific equipment
will be invaluable

For my plan
to take over the world.

You mean, you're going
to shrink electronics

So only mice will
be able to operate them?

Don't be absurd,
pinky.

There's no future
in miniaturization.

It's big things
that strike fear

Into the hearts
of humans,

Like that
ridiculous legend

Of gollyzilla--

Mythical folly

That directionless
humans hang on.

Are you pondering
what I'm pondering?

I think so, brain.

But I don't think
kaye ballard's in the union.

[Brain]
I will alter this equipment,

And enlarge myself
to become
a 400-foot-tall mouse,

Who'll save the world
from gollyzilla.

Butyou just
said there was
no such thing

As gollyzilla,
brain.

There is now, pinky--

Or should I say
pinkzilla?

Yes, I see.

There! I've reversed

The specifications
of the ray.

Are you ready, pinky?

Ta-da!

Quick!
What do you think, brain?

Pretty scary, eh?

Yes, pinky.
Terrifying.

Stand by.

Aaahh!

[Ptooey]

Narf! Where are you, brain?

I can't see you.

I'm down--

Oh--oh, wait a sec, brain.

I've got some gum
on my shoe.

Apparently your i.q.
Didn't grow

Along with
your shoe size, pinky.

Now, go on your rampage,
pinkzilla,

And show no mercy!

[Thud]

[Thud]

Narf!

Poit!

I am pinkzilla,

King of the monsters!

Raargh!

In 10 minutes,
I will arrive
on the scene

And save tokyo
from the terror of...

Pinkzilla!

Raargh!

Yes, I see.

I love you, fumiko.

And I love you,
herschel.

[Thud]

Aaahh!

Gollyzilla!

Hello!
I'm on a rampage!

Narf!

Scamper away
in terror now.

Go on!

Boo! Ha ha ha!

Aaahh!
Aaahh!

Aaahh!
Aaahh!

Aah!
Aah!

Gollyzilla!

We must run
for our lives.

[People screaming]

Poit!

Oh, I can't see
through this thing.

Oh!

Oh, no! The giant
monster is molting!

Huh!

Aah!

Egad! I'm all a-tangle.

Narf!

Whoa!

Yes, I see.

Now to make myself
the largest mouse on earth

And hero of the planet.

Call me brainodo!

[Loud footsteps]

People of tokyo,
do not fear.

I, brainodo,
have come to save you.

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

It is another
giant monster,

Even more ugly
than gollyzilla!

Actually, I am an artificially
enlarged lab mouse

Here to save you.

You may thank me later
by making me your leader.

[Gasps]

Unless that doesn't fit
into your plans.

Where is pinky?

How can I save
the city from gollyzilla

With no gollyzilla?

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

Rarrr!

[Snorts]

Rarrr!

[Snorts]

Rarrr!

Pinky!

[Muffled growls]

Where have you been?

Never mind.

I can't understand you
in that stupid costume.

Make this battle
look realistic, pinky.

Everything depends on it.

Takethat,
hideous beast!

[Cough cough]

Ooh!
Ahh.

Ooh.
Ahh.

Eee!
Ahh.

Now you've gotten me
mad, pinky.

Um, excuse me, brain.

Go away now, pinky.

Can't you see
I'm fighting with pinky?

Narf!

Right. Oh, no. Wait.

How can you be fighting
with me over there

If I'm standing
over here?

It's a very simple
principle, pinky.

It's because...

Grr!

That is the real gollyzilla.

Rarrr!

Aah!

Rarrr!

Aah!
Aah!

Yes, i--

Aah!

Aah!
Aah!

Grr!

Rarrr!

Grr!

The fat guy in the suit
is surprisingly agile.

Uhh!

Aah!
Aah!

[Pinky]
too bad we're not
giant anymore, brain.

We are
still giant, pinky.

Unfortunately, so
is everything else.

Our relative
smallness remains,

But on this
we should not dwell.

For we must plan
for tomorrow night.

What are the three
of us going to do
tomorrow night, brain?

Three of us?

Hmm.

Still the same thing
we do every night,
pinky--

Try to take over
the world!

Yes.

Yes, I see.

♪ They're dinky ♪

♪ They're pinky and the brain ♪

♪ Brain, brain, brain, brain ♪

[Muttering]

Core, mathematical essence.

O.k., Where is that thing?

Hmm. And entering in...

Factoring in...hmm.

[Muttering]

Numerical equivalent...

The problem there...

Ahh!

Pinky.

Pinky!

Whoa!

Narf!

What were you doing
up there, pinky?

Oh, I was having a devil
of a time cleaning
the chimney, brain.

We don't have
a chimney.

Oh, well, there
you are, then.

No, pinky.
There you are.

I am absolutely nowhere
near that vicinity.

Have you ever thought,
pinky, why it is

That we haven't yet
succeeded in taking
over the world?

Oh, I know why, brain--
gremlins.

Little
sprinkly sprites

That confuse us
and mix us up,

Always twiddling
their little fingers

In our ears.

Grrrr!

An interesting theory,

But I've reviewed
our past efforts, pinky,

Turning the situations
into numbers

In an effort to locate
the exact problem.

Oh. Well,
that sounds very, um...

Narf!

Yes, I'm sure it does.

I've plotted the numbers

And the result
is quite interesting.

Egad, brain!

That looks like me,
but flat!

It is you, pinky.

My calculations show

That you are the problem.

Pinky?

Yes. Pinky.

Scientifically speaking,

It's because you are
a spazzy beetle-headed dufus

With the intellect
of a mule hoof

That I have yet
to conquer the world!

Oh, you're not
going to get rid of me,
are you, brain?

I mean, you,
working as a single?

Look what happened
to jerry lewis

After he split
with dean.

All that stuff
in your hair.

Point taken.

But fear not,
I have another plan.

Pinky, I am going to
make you smart.

I...i don't
understand, brain.

Exactly.

But you will,
my friend...

You will.

Egad, brain!
Why doesn't anybody

Just make themselves
really smart?

I mean, this all
seems so simple.

Like all great
things, pinky,

The idea is simple,
but the execution--

Oh, there lies
the difficulty.

There lies
the genius.

Taking a little
nap, is he?

Pinky, operating
this machine

Requires calculations
on the fly,

Split-second decisions,
huge amounts of data,

Incredible
mental abilities,

And precise timing.

In other words--

I couldn't do it.

No.

Whaa!

Ha ha ha!

Hee hee ha ha!

Ha ha ha! Ha ha!

Hmm...47 aught 6.


Fibonacci "n" minus one...

Coming, coming...

Now!

Pinky?

Ha ha!
Ha ha ha!

Whoo!

That was fun, brain.

Ha ha ha! Narf!

Ooh, I'm all tingly.

Fun, perhaps,
but obviously not successful.

No, no, no.
I think it was.

At first it seemed
like the folded dipole
wasn't working

As your center-fed
horizontally mounted
conductor,

But frequencies
below 30 megahertz--

Loud and clear!

And I must say,
brain, the peak
value wave shape

Of the impulse
voltage?

Glorious! Narf!

I mean, hitting
that maximum value

Without appreciable
superimposed
oscillations--

Egad, brain!
Brilliant!

Ha ha ha!

Yes!

Here is
tonight's plan

For world
domination, pinky.

I'm curious
as to your opinion.

Right-o, brain. Narf!

I will pose as jimmy hoffa,
back from vacation.

Labor leaders
will bow before me

And help me utilize
the giant industrial complex

To build this--
the forced
verto-convector.

It will create millions
of steaming, tiny geysers

That will actually
lift people

Several inches off the ground,
immobilizing them.

Egad, brain!

It's like giant
air hockey.

Brilliant!

Oh, wait.
No, no, no.

Yes, pinky?

Well, the coefficient values
of your fouriers--

I mean,
this should be sine,
not cosine.

Poit. Kind of
flips the whole thing
around. Won't work.

Pinky...that's right.

Are you pondering
what I'm pondering?

Yes, I am.

This is fantastic.

Do you see?

You've saved us
an entire evening.

Tremendous!

Forget that plan.

Look at this one...
Colleague.

Oh, brain!

Ha ha! Poit!

We will program
a computer to generate

A fantastically popular
romance novel.

Oh, lovely!

It will contain
a hypno-phonetic sentence

So long and so confusing,

The reader will be forced
to reread it endlessly out loud.

And the frequencies
of those sounds

Will hypnotize
all around them,

Primed for my suggestion
that I rule the world!

Zounds!
Another good one,
brain!

Oh, wait.

No, no.

Um...

The frequency needs to be
an exact integral multiple

Of the input,
doesn't it?

Or, um, it will be
all wobble-wobble.

Not hypnotic at all.

Nope, won't work.

Yes. Hmm.

You're right.

Too bad.

[Brain]
well, here's another.

By converting our cage
into a nuclear reactor,

We can produce
enough energy--

Uh-uh.

Your migration area
is tiny, brain.

The neutron
will never be able
to slow down

From fission
to thermal in here.

Please, pinky,
let me finish.

I mean, it's got
to be at least 1/6

Of the mean square
distance between--

Please stop!
But, brain--

Pinky!

It seems to me,
brain, that it's not
my fault at all

That these plans
haven't worked.

Well, of course it is.

Look! I figured
it out myself.

The numbers don't lie.

Hmm...

Actually,
there seems to be

A little boo-boo
right here.

Oh, here, too.

And here.

Oh, yes.
Lots of errors.

Stop it, pinky!
Stop!

These...this...

It's preposterous
what you're saying!

It's--it's ridiculous!
It's absurd!

But--but, brain.

Just go.

Just move away
from me. Go!

But...

Narf.

No.

No!

It is me.

Oh, no. Oh!

No...

No...

Uh...

No! He's even smarter
than i!

Smarter!

Accepting my own errors.

The team needs balance.
Balance...yes.

Therefore, to successfully
take over the world,

A sacrifice must be made.

One of us must be
an imbecile.

I liked it better
when it was,

"No, pinky," this,
bop on the head.

"No, pinky," that,
bop on the head.

But now...egad!
Being a smarty is no fun.

Brain doesn't like me.

I mean, we haven't
even tried

To take over the world
once tonight.

I'm smart enough now.

I could do it!




Fibonacci "n" plus one...
Coming.

Narf! Coming...

[Whistle blows]

Pinky.

Oh, pink--oof!

Ha ha!

Pinky, look at me!

I'm a ninny,
a wooden-headed dum-dum.

Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh!

Not a smart thought
in my whole empty head.

Narf! Narf to the world.

What are we going to
do tonight, pinky?

Poit!

I say, poit!

Pinky?

[Machine turns on]

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

It's good to be back!

Brain, I fixed it.

I'm a nitwit!

Ha ha! Hurrah!

I've fixed it,
as well, pinky.

I'm as dense
as a tree stump.

You mean...
Yes.

Well, we'll just have to
make you smart again,

Won't we?

We can't, pinky.

We're both too stupid
to operate the machine.

What do you want to
do tonight, brain?

Same thing we do
every night, pinky.

What's that?

I have no idea.

Poit.
