Hello again, everyone! Even during this pandemic, I'm back once again, and I'm back with Scene 4 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine. In the last scene, Brain's plan to take over the world by stopping the "Big Ben" clock at Tea Time at 4:00pm failed as the strong gears of the inner workings of the old tower clock were no match for the weak wooden block that Brain jammed between 2 of the larger gears. But that didn't stop Brain from coming up with a new plan! Now, in this scene, Brain and Pinky will spend time in the popular "London Library", and Brain will come up with a new plan for taking over the world! What is this new plan that he has in mind? Well, you will all just have to read and find out for yourselves! Now, let's all sit back, relax, turn off all our cellphones, and enjoy scene 4 of Act of this brand new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Brain: yes...YES! (places book down) YES! Finally, it seems my new plan to take over the world is a lot clearer now!
Pinky (enters stage right, holding a book behind his back): Oh, yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes, YEEEEEEEEES! (jumping happily) Brain, I didn't think I would find it...but I did! (smiles)
Brain (sighs and rolls eyes): And what exactly did you find, Pinky? (turns to face Pinky)
Pinky: I found...THIS! (pulls out a book titled "The Little Engine That Could")
Brain: "The Little Engine That Could"? Seriously?
Pinky (nods happily): Yes, Brain! I had a hard time finding this book, but my searching efforts paid off! (tucks book underneath left arm)
Brain (sarcastically): Oh, and where did you find this book at the end of your long and tedious search, Pinky?
Pinky: Oh, I found it in the one place I didn't look before...(points index finger up) In the CHILDREN'S BOOKS section! (grins)
Brain (rolls eyes): Oh, and why am I not surprised?
Pinky: Because you always prefer the boring books!
Brain (stands up and leans into Pinky's face up close): Pinky, I prefer if you be careful with what you say around me or I will be forced to hurt you. (moves away from Pinky's face)
Pinky: Oh, alright Brain. Sorry about that.
Brain: Anyways Pinky, you'll have to put your booking reading on hold because I FINALLY came up with another good evil plan to take over the world!
Pinky: Oh, that's great, Brain! (claps hands happily) But...what is this new plan, actually? (puts book down on table)
Brain: Well Pinky, this plan of mine utilizes the skill of hypnosis! (points to a page in his open book)
Pinky: Hypnosis? What is that, exactly?
Brain (sighs): Pinky, hypnotism is when someone is put into a state of consciousness where said person seems to be sleeping but can hear, and is highly responsive to suggestions.
Pinky: Oh...and what can that do for us in terms of taking over the world...
Brain: Well Pinky, my plan is a simple as this...
(Suddenly, some uplifting planning music begins to play in the background. As it does, Brain looks towards the entire audience, and he begins to sing another musical number of the show...)
Brain (singing): Pinky, as you can see,
Just told you,
What hypnotism means!
Hypnotism can help,
Control a person...
Especially a person...
With world or country-ruling powers!
My plan that I had just come up,
Seems very simple,
And if done right,
It can all be accomplish!
Oh Pinky...
This new plan of mine will work!
This is my new plan of mine...
This is my brand new plaaaaaan...
Oh...this new plan of mine will work! (jumps up on top of the table)
Now, first off all,
We have to go dumpster diving,
To find metal and microchips.
Wires and cables will also be needed,
As well as gears and spark plugs,
And even some radioactive goo or slime!
Then we have to build a time machine,
And we'll have to do that...
Within the sewers of London,
Which would be out of the public eye!
Oh Pinky...
This new plan of mine will work!
This is my new plan of mine...
This is my brand new plaaaaaan...
Oh...this new plan of mine will work!
Once we finish assembling this time machine...
We can use this time machine,
To travel back in time,
To the year 1912.
But rather than travel to the "R.M.S. Titanic",
We would instead be traveling...
To Vienna, Austria!
Pinky: But Brain...why Austria? (looks confused; gets up on table next to Brain)
Brain (singing): In the year 1912 in Vienna, Austria,
There was a famous hypnosis psychiatrist...
Named Dr. Sigmund Freud,
Who once treated the city's ruling Emperor,
Who at the time was Franz Joseph!
To complete this plan,
And once we get to Vienna...
We must go to Sigmund Freud's office.
I will get an appointment with that doctor,
And during the session before he hypnotizes me,
I will use a pair of mirrored glasses...
To reverse the process,
And in doing so...
Hypnotize him instead!
And once we do that,
I will give him an order under his trance...
To go and hypnotize Emperor Franz Joseph,
Into give up his throne to me...
And then we will have taken over the world!
Oh Pinky...
This new plan of mine will work!
This is my new plan of mine...
This is my brand new plaaaaaan...
Oh...this new plan of mine will work!
Yes...yes...I though of all of the little details...
And I made sure it was foolproof...
And that no mistakes can be made!
Oh Pinky, this new plan of mine will work!
Oh...yes...this new plan of mine will work!
Nothing will get in the way...
Of making this plan take plaaaaace...
As this new plan of mine will work!
Yes...this new plan of mine will work!
This new plan of miiiiiiiiiiine...
Will work out in the end!
Yeah...
I know that this new plan will work...
Oh Pinky, this new plan of mine will work!
Pinky (singing): Oh Brain, you're so smart...
Brain (singing): Pinky, of course that's the case...
Or why else would I be called the Brain!?
Yes Pinky, my new plan will work!
Yeah...I know my plan will succeed!
Nothing will get in the way of this plan...
Pinky (singing): Because you're so very smart!
Brain (singing): And I thought out all of the kinks and corners...
To make sure that my new plan will work!
Oh Pinky...
This new plan of mine will work!
This is my new plan of mine...
This is my brand new plaaaaaan...
Oh...this new plan of mine will work!
Oh yeah...this new plan of mine...
This brand new plan of mine...
This fresh new plan of mine...
This new plan of mine will...
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORK!
(The uplifting music stops playing in the background and the musical number ends. As it does, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping dies down. As it does, the next scene continues to take place as normal...)
Pinky: Egad Brain, brilliant! (claps wildly)
Brain: Yes...YES! (pulls out a blank blueprint from his pocket) Now, hang on for a moment while I write it all down. (pulls out a pencil from his pocket and begins to draw out the entire plan step by step) Boy, I'm telling you Pinky, when this plan works, we will never have to worry about our lives again. Think about it...soon we will have the high life. A life of a large palace to live in...dozens of servants serving us food on silver platters...a private luxurious horse-drawn chariot...a throne room to lead the citizens of Vienna from...and even constantly cleaned rooms at all times! (sighs happily) And I must admit this...we'll be able to have nothing but fun in our spare time! (finishes writing and puts pencil back into pocket) Now, we must find a landfill nearby and search for electrical components to build a time machine, and then we'll find some radioactive slime or liquid to activate it. (folds up blueprint and places it into pocket) Then, we shall retreat to the swear underneath the London, and...
(Suddenly, before Brain can finish his sentence, a female ensemble member actress dressed up as the librarian enters stage right, and marches over angrily to the table that Pinky and Brain are standing on top of...)
Librarian (interrupting Brain): HEY! (points to Brain) Hey you!
Brain (freezes): Uh...y-y-y-y-yes, m-m-m-ma'am?! (smiles nervously)
Librarian: What in the world are you doing on top of one of my tables?! AND WHAT WAS THAT NOISE I HEARD FROM THE FRONT DESK!? I'm trying to run a public library here, and that's not EASY when unruly patrons like you GET UP ON MY TABLES LIKE THAT!?
Brain: Uh...well...its quite a funny story ma'am...you see...I w-w-was in t-t-t-the m-m-moment s-s-s-singing a s-s-song and...
Librarian: Oh, so it was YOU who sang that song in MY LIBRARY just now!? (clenches teeth)
Pinky: Yes, it was! Narf! And I sang, too! (smiles)
Librarian: GET OFF OF MY TABLE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Brain (jumps off the table): S-s-s-s-s-sorry, ma'am...
Pinky: Yeah, we're s-s-s-sorry...(jumps off the table next)
Librarian: Now, for admitting to singing that song, I'm going to have to ask you both to LEAVE THIS LIBRARY AND NEVER COME BACK! (points to the right side of the set) Now...LEAVE...RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!
Pinky: EEEEEKKKKK! (sniffs and cowers behind Brain)I'm scared...(closes eyes in fear)
Brain (turns to Pinky): Oh, don't let her get to you, Pinky. She's just an overreactive fool.
Librarian: WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME, MISTER?!
Brain (turns to face librarian): You heard me, lady! You're nothing but an overreactive fool! (spits saliva at her, which hands on the librarian's glasses)
Librarian (gasps): You...(takes off glasses and uses sleeve to wipe sweat off) disgusting...mouse! (puts glasses back on) Well, I never! (puts hands on her hips)
Brain: You want us to leave?! FINE! (grab's Pinky's left shoulder) Come now, Pinky. She might want us out of here, but we will leave without crying for being afraid!
Pinky: O-o-o-o-o-okay...(stands next to Brain)
Brain: Now, let's leave...(walks towards the right side of the stage)
Pinky (walking with Brain): But Brain, what about "The Little Engine That Could"?!
Brain (sighs): Pinky, when we take over the world, you'll be able to have access to all of the children's books you can ever want without a care in the world! (exits stage right)
Pinky: Oh, okay! That sounds better than any library! (exits stage right, too)
Librarian (huffs): Man, what a day this has been...(grabs books off the table) SOMEONE, HELP ME GET THESE BOOKS TO THEIR CORRECT SHELVES!
(Suddenly, the stage lights shining over the center area of the stage dim and some more transitional music begins to play in the background. As it does, another set transition begins to take place. The tall bookcases on the front-left and front-right area of the stage slide out of view, and a backdrop of a London street with a manhole cover in the center painted on it comes down in the center area of the stage, concealing the entire "London Library" setting behind it. As this backdrop comes down and covers the setting behind it, the Narrator enters stage left, faces the entire audience and begins to narrate to said audience once again...)
Narrator: And with a new plan thought out by Brain, he and Pinky made their way to a local landfill in the outskirts of London. After an hour, Brain managed to gather everything that they needed, especially some radioactive slime he found in a sealed disposal tube. (turns page) After the scavenger hunt within the landfill, both Pinky and Brain slipped into the sewer beneath London via the use of a nearby storm drain. (turns page) And after about another hour of Brain assembling the time machine, wiring the control panel, creating a door, and creating the main engine powered by the tube of radioactive slime, their time machine was finally ready for the next phase of Brain's new plan for taking over the world...(turns page) which was traveling back in time to Vienna, Austria in 1912...(exits stage left)
(As the Narrator exits stage left, the banner of painting of the street of London with the manhole cover in the center goes back up, revealing the new setting of the inside of the swear underneath London, complete with a curved back wall panel made out of bricks, some metal piping lining the top of said curved brick wall, some green moss and muck lining the bottom area of the curved brick wall, old-looking electrical wiring and dangling lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling high above the setting, and 2 large brick columns, one on the back-left side of the stage and one of the back-right side of the stage. As the banner reveals the new setting, 2 more additional columns slide into view from the front-left and front-right of the stage. A large cubicle-like structure made out of trash and metal plates, a rusty metal door, and colorful electrical wiring all over it is in the center of the new setting. As the set transition completes, the stage lights above the center area of the stage come back on, and the transitional music stops playing in the background. Brain is on the left side of the time machine, pretending to use a large oversized screwdriver to make some final adjustments to the makeshift time machine. Pinky is on the left side of the time machine, trying to attempt to a backflip but keeps failing comically. As this set transition completes, the next scene then begins to take place as normal...)
And that was the conclusion of Scene 4 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! It seems that Brain's new plan for taking over the world includes collecting parts to build a time machine, building said time machine in the sewers of London, and using the newly built time machine to travel back in time to Vienna, Austria in the year 1912. Once there, Brain plans to use famous hypnosis physiatrist Sigmund Freud within his evil plan by getting an appointment with him, only for Brain to reverse his process, therefore hypnotizing Dr. Freud. Then, Brain will get Dr. Freud to hypnotize the Austrian Emperor Joseph Franz to give Brain the throne, allowing him to take over the world. And Brain's song that explained the whole plane as based off of the real-life song called "Hero Is My Middle Name" from the popular Broadway musical "The SpongeBob SquarePants Musical"! Now, let's all now move on to Scene 5 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine
