Hello again, everyone! Its finally the summertime of 2020! Most children finished thier online schooling, theme parks are beginning to reopen, and some sumercamps are remaining open with saftey percautions due to the coronavirus pandemic. But it's not stopping my writing! And now, its time for Scene 7 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! In this scene, Pinky and Brain are back in the cage within "ACME Labs" when its closed for the night once again. Now, what is going to happen in this scene? Will Brain try to come up with another plan to take over the world? If so, what king of plan is it this time? Well, you'll just have to read and find out for yourself! Well, let's all sit back, relax, turn off all of our electronic devices, and begin Scene 7 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Narrator: After using the time machine and traveling back to present-day London, Brain destroyed the time machine and dragged it all the way to the nearest landfill. (turns page) Then, both mice took an 11-hour flight back to Burbank, California. And once back in California, both mice made it back to "ACME Labs" and finally returned to their cage home. (turns page) The next night, after "ACME Labs" have closed for the night and after all of the scientists went home for the night, Brain checked the calendar, and discovered that it was none other than April 22nd, 1997. (turns page) Now, the year 1997 wasn't important, but the date of April 22nd in particular was...(turns page) well...a day that actual WASN'T meant for trying to take over the world. (exits stage left)
Brain (sees new calendar date of April 22nd): Yes...YES! This is it, Pinky!
Pinky (still running on the wheel): A really hard math puzzle?
Brain (shakes head): No my numerically-challenged friend. This is the day we have set aside to find out what I like to do for fun!
Pinky (stops spinning on the wheel; gasps): Zort! Do you mean...we're not going to try to take over the...
Brain (interrupting Pinky; covering his mouth shut): Don't even SAY it, Pinky! As a matter of fact, I don't even want to HEAR those words! Because, tonight is our night off! You see, all of the best authorities on psychology agree that you must recreate, and the very entomology of that word says it all! Recreate!
Pinky (steps off of the wheel): Huh? I-I don't get it...(walks over to where Brain is)
Brain (stands up): You must recreate yourself to by pursing diversions apart from your quotidian responsibilities.
Pinky (gasps and looks horrified): AAAAAAHHHHH! Y-You're tongue is making really strange noises, Brain!
Brain (frowns and sighs): I'll put it in terms that even you can understand. In fact, I think I know just the way to do it...(snaps fingers)
(Suddenly, some country music begins to play in the background. As it does, Brain begins to sing the next musical number of the show...)
Brain (singing): Sometimes Pinky,
It is important to,
Relax our mindsets...
If we don't,
There's a slight chance,
That we'll go crazy!
Taking over the world is though as it is!
But if you don't rest once in a while,
Then you are going...
To go crazy!
So that's why it's important to...
Simply take a break and...
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
Sometimes in life,
Even geniuses like Einstein or Edison...
Needed a break, or even a...
Day off from inventing!
And not mention inventors,
Like Marie Curie,
Or even Willis Carter!
So that's why Pinky,
We must go ahead and...
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
Pinky (singing): Oh Brain, I get what you are saying now!
Instead of trying to take over the world...
We must rest,
And even keep our feet up!
We could take bubble baths,
Or even jump on the beeeeeeeeeeeeds!
Brain (singing): Yes Pinky, it seems that your,
Tiny brain is starting to get it...
It seems that you now,
Understand what I meant!
As mice who want take over the world...
It is important too...
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
YEAH...Take a night off!
Take a night off!
T-T-Take a night off!
Oh yeah...TAKE A NIGHT OFF!
Sometimes Pinky, smart people like me...
Must take a break from,
What we like to do the most!
Taking a night off,
Allows to display...
The fun activities that smart people,
Like me like to dooooooo!
So right now, Pinky,
Its time for us to..
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
T-T-TAKE A NIGHT OFF!
Yeah, take a night off!
Pinky, we shall, take a night off...
T-Take a night off!
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
And if we don't take a night off...
Well, we might just,
Both go INSANE!
So that is why we must...
Take a night off!
T-Take a night off!
Yeah, take a night off!
Take a night off!
Take a night off...
T-Take a night off!
We got to take a night off...
To...relax and have some fun!
Yeah...we must...take a night...
Take a night...
Taaaaaaaaaaake...aaaaaaaaaaaa...niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...
TAKE A NIGHT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFF!
(The country 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 scene continues to take place...)
Pinky (clapping wildly): Egad, I get it now, Brain! (jumps up wildly) WHOOOOOOO!
Brain: Yes...YES! I'm glad you get it now, Pinky. Now...do hold your applause.
Pinky: Oh, okay! (stops clapping and jumping)
Brain: Now, if you, Pinky, could do anything you wanted to do tonight...anything that is, as you say, "Fun! Fun! Silly-Willy!", what would it be? (folds arms)
Pinky (tapping his chin): Hmmm...Oh, I got it! (stops tapping his chin) Let's get a giant truckload of mashed potatoes and build a magic fairyland! Narf!
(The entire audience bursts out laughing at Pinky's idea of fun. After about 30 seconds, the audience's loud laughter burst dies down. As it does, Brain sighs as the scene continues...)
Brain (sighs and shakes his head): Maybe I should choose the evening's activity. Hmmm...Ah, I got it! (turns to Pinky) Pinky, follow me now. We have a huge night to have fun, and we shall NOT let it go to waste! (walks to the left side of the cage and opens cage door) Come now, as time is ticking! (steps out of the cage setting and exits stage left)
Pinky: Oh, I'm right behind you, Brain! (exits cage setting and follows Brain) Narf! (exits stage left)
(As Pinky and Brain both exit stage left, some transitional music begins to play in the background. As it does, the stage lights shinning above the front, center, and back of the stage dim. As they do, a large wall panel resembling the exterior front façade of a fancy Italian restaurant (complete with a double entry door in the center and the name of the restaurant "Ma Passion" painted above the entry door) comes down near the very front of the stage, concealing the entire "ACME Labs" interior setting behind it. As the wall panel comes down into view, a podium and small red awing on 4 metal poles come up into view in the middle of the stage right in front of the double doors via a sliding trapdoor and a hydraulic lift. As the podium and awning got into view, some red valet ropes on golden stands slide into view on the left side, leading up to the podium and awning area. 2 actors playing a random married couple are waiting in line beside the valet ropes, waiting to approach the host at the podium. An actor playing the Restaurant Host is positioned behind the podium, flipping through a small staff of random sheets of paper. As the set transition completes, the transitional music stops playing in the background, the stage lights above the front area of the stage come back on, and the next scene continues to take place. As it does, the Narrator enters stage left, stands in the front-center area of the stage, opens his book, and continues to narrate to the entire audience once again...)
And that was the conclusion to Scene 7 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! In this scene, it seems that instead of coming up with a plan to take over the world, Brain decides to take a night off of doing that! Yep, that's right! This was an actual episode in the show, so it is being utilized here in this stage musical adaptation! And while Pinky's idea for a night of fun seems ideal to him, Brain obliviously seems to have a more...well...formal and refined idea. And Brain's song was based off of the real-life song called "Chop to The Top" from the popular Broadway musical, "The SpongeBob Musical". Well, its time for all of us to sit back, relax, turn off all of our electronic devices, and move on to Scene 8 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
