Animaniacs (2020–…): Season 3, Episode 1 - Episode #3.1 - full transcript

The Warners help Nora get her CEO job back from Ralph. Pinky makes another "how to" video about his friendship with Brain.

RALPH:
Uh, previously on "Aminaminacs"...

Hey, sibs! Remember when
we had our DNA tested?



WARNERS:
Nora!

Ooh! Who's our great-grandmother?

My great-grandmother Flora

- is the greatest businesswoman alive!
- Ah!

Tonight, I will host
a little competition

for all my potential heirs,

and the winner will inherit
my fabulous estate!

You're my best relatives!



You've won my fortune!

I'm sorry, kids, but your DNA results
were switched with...

Ralphonzo!

Look, everyone! He is the spitting image
of my favorite brother, Ralphonzo!

We should do a movie
about flaming meatballs!

Any more of your foolish ideas,
and you'll bankrupt this studio.

Nora! You need to listen
to my long-lost great nephew.

After all, as chairman,
he is your new boss.

So, Ralph runs Warner Bros. now?

Oh, that's really, really...

[laughing]

Da best bit was da meatballs!

I'll make a note of it.

Duh, uh, make a note of
ordering me this here sub

for the premiere.

I haven't had meat since, uh,

well, since I got this job.

So, I've been a really good boy.

One million dollars?!

Oh. One million calories.

The price is...

one million dollars?!

Great Grandma Flora,
tell him he can't do this!



[yowling]

But Nora!

How can I say no to those
big puppy dog jowls?

Oh, give me those jowls.
[squishing]

Aw, mine, mine, mine, mine.

Enough of this nauseating
nepotistic nonsense!

You will fall in line and respect

my beloved brother Ralphonzo!

I-I mean, my great-grandnephew Ralph.

Well, if you want to run
this place into the ground,

then you can do it without me!

I quit!

Nora does!

this really isn't much of a show

Anyone got any bright ideas

Brain!

Pinky, this isn't another
one of your videos

where you expose my world domination plans
to your followers, is it?

[laughs] Don't be silly, Brain!

We can't just do
the same thing every time.

I mean, after two whole seasons,

the fans deserve something
fresh and new. Sorta like...

narf! Poit! Zort! Egad! [laughs]

Oh! Don't forget to smash
that subscribe button.

Now then, the first way to
"how to friendship"

is by making breakfast
for your bestest... friend...

Ooh. [scoffs] Oh, dear.

Try saying that five times fast.

That! That! That! That! I can't do it.

[sighs] That is hard.

Brain!

Your French toast is ready!

This is just a piece of burnt toast

with a bite taken out of it.

Ah, yes. Well, sorry.

I got a little hungry on my way
back from France, didn't I?

I don't have time to dilly-dally, Pinky.

I'm putting the final touches
on the hydraulic system

of my bipedal exoskeleton.

It combines the speed
and agility of the border collie,

the impressively low ground clearance
of the dachshund,

and the strict obedience
of the Labrador retriever.

[whirring]
[robotic barking, panting]

I'll admit, I may have modeled
the latter on the wrong breed.

This suit will allow me to breach

the heretofore impenetrable security
of Brass Mountain...

[Pinky giggling]
...the storage facility in Pennsylvania,

where many of humanity's most
precious documents are kept.

PINKY: [giggling] Oh!
[clicking, beep]

I will infiltrate the facility
and transfer

Charles Dickens' will to my name...
[Pinky making robot noises]

...thus inheriting his enormous estate.
[Pinky laughing]

With the royalties, I shall be able
to fund my latest plan

for world domination, which is--

[Pinky laughing hysterically]

PINKY:
Egad, look at your head! [laughs]

Pinky, are you even listening to me?
[jowls jiggling]

PINKY:
Yes, Chipmunk-Balloon-Brain!

Whatever you squeak--
Oh, I mean say! [laughs]

What are you doing? Give me that phone.

Uh... Oh! Use the promo code

"Chipmunk Brain 11-teen"
for 10% off Brain plushies when--

[bars and tone]

The next way to "how to friendship"

is what I like to call
"random acts of friendship."

Pinky, have you seen
my Brass Mountain blueprints?

Ah!

I need to upload them
into my navigation system.

No... But!

I have a special
friendship present for you.



Wait a minute. Pinky,

what material did you use to make this?

That pretty blue paper from your desk.

It really brings out your eyes,
don't you think?

[goofy giggle]

Pinky,

these are the blueprints
to Brass Mountain!

It took me months to procure
on the black market!

[grunting]

Your photograph is obscuring
my blueprints,

and it's covered in macaroni and glue!

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

- Bad!
- Okay, Brain, I can see you're upset.

We can talk about it on
the way to the Bass Accountant.

It's the Brass Mountain,
and you're not coming!

What?
But I always come with you on your

"try to take over the world" trips.

We're bestest friends.
BRAIN: Not today.

Your forceful friendshipping
has given me a monumental migraine.

PINKY:
Aw...

- [Pinky yelps]
- I'm going alone!

Consider yourself unfriended, Pinky!

PINKY:
You mean in real life or on Chatstogram?

Both.
[Pinky gasps]

[whirring, thud]

[clicking, whirring]

Ah. Well, you know, um,

sometimes, friends fight.

Uh... But!

I've always found
the best way to apologize

is with a song from the heart!

So, let's head to Brain's music studio

and get started, shall we?

I'm back! Were you scared?

I was! And I liked it! [laughing]

[beep]
[whirring, explosion]

Now, we're here inside
Brain's music studio

to lay down a spicy new apology track,

so I can win back his friendship!

[Brain panting]

What? Wait. [scoffs]

Can't tell anything from this...
[muttering]

And a one! And a two!
And a third number!

Pinky, stop forcing me to watch this.

Have I not suffered enough?

Nonetheless,

if your remorseful rat-a-tat
hadn't caused you to hit "eject,"

I would have been ejected
off this mortal coil.

Your complete lack of both music
and motor skills...

saved my life.

Well, that's the power of music, Brain.

But, you also ruined my plan.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Ooh! I can make you
another apology song if y--

No! No, no. Heh. One is plenty, Pinky.

Hm. Well, suit yourself.



Oh. Thank you, Pinky.
That's... That's much better.

No problem, friend.

Oh, I knew you'd learn something
from my "how to friendship" video.

Yes, Pinky. Whatever you say.

Now, let us prepare for tomorrow night.

[crunch] Why, Brain?

What are we gonna do tomorrow night?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
