Hello again, everyone! I'm back once again, and I'm back with the next scene of this musical! Now, despite a seemingly-occurring spike in coronavirus cases, I'm not letting any of that stop me from continuing to write and post musical scenes for everyone out there. Now, it's time for Scene 9 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! In this scene, the musical will introduce the main villain! Who is this villain, you ask? Well, I'm afraid that I can't tell you that right now, since that would spoil the element of surprise in this scene! And yes, there will be another song in this scene, sung to you by the main villain of the show, of course! So, to see what all the built-up hype is about, let's all sit back, relax, turn off all our cellphones, and begin Scene 9 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Narrator: And so, with the night off ending on a more...emotional note...Pinky and Brain went off to bed that night. (turns page) The next night however, it was all back to normal for the mice, as Brain had another plan to take over the world. (turns page) And THIS plan, I might add, was very clever indeed, as it involved the use of the human brain. But little did both mice know, things would soon go very zany, even more so than their night off the previous night...(exits stage left)
(As the Narrator exits stage left, his spotlight turns off. As it does, the stage lights shinning over the front, center, and back area of the stage come back on. The giant oversized computer screen is seen now on and operating, showing some information on the human brain displayed on it. Pinky and Brain are standing right in front of it, looking at the information together while Brain begins to discuss his next plan for world domination...)
Brain: In tonight's plan, my friend, we'll dive head first into the superstitious nature of mankind! (turns around to face the audience)
Pinky: Ooooh...(looks confused) but Brain, don't we need a wetsuit for that? (also turns around to face the audience)
(The entire audience bursts out laughing over Pinky's literal taking on what Brain said. After about 30 seconds, the bursts of laughter from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the scene continues to take place...)
Brain (gives a "Are you serious?" look to Pinky): No Pinky, that's not what I meant! (sighs) Its not a literal dive! (facepalms) One of these days, I must teach you the different between figuratively and literally. (pushes a key on the keyboard): And there we go! (rubs hands together)
(The nearby oversized printer suddenly begins to make noises. Then, a green button on the printer flashes. As it does, a large oversized piece of paper comes out of it's slot. Brain looks over at this, grins, and walks over to it while Pinky follows him...)
Brain (walks over to the oversized printer): We should use a device that preys upon the fears of even the most skeptical souls! (reaches up and grabs it) Behold! (holds it out to show it to Pinky)
Pinky (grabs it and looks at it; reading from it): Do not break this chain...(gasps and drops paper sheet) A chain letter!? AAAAAAHHHHHH! I touched it! (runs around the setting while screaming in far) I TOUCHED IT! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! (around around in circles) AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! NARF! AAAAAAHHHHHH!
Brian (glares and holds out a foot foot)
Pinky (still running in circles): AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! (trips over Brain's foot and falls over on the left, falling on the bottom of the piece of paper he dropped) OW! (rubs his head)
Brain (walks over to where Pinky is): Fear not, Pinky! This isn't for you...read on! (grins)
Pinky: Right, Brain...(gets up and looks down at the letter again; reading from it) Cornell Spats broke this chain in Nairobi and was trampled by angry dik-diks?! (gasps) Loris Hall kept the chain intact and won 5 minutes of free shopping at the "Piggly Wiggly"! Oooooh...eli...wha...lou...uh, what's this part, Brain? (points to small section of backwards writing at the bottom) I can't make it out.
Brain (stands next to Pinky on his left): That, Pinky, is the very key to our plan! (grabs letter) Follow me! (walks over to the far right side of the stage)
Pinky: Oh...uh...okay? (follows Brain)
(Brain stands next to the far right side of the stage, reaches his hands outwards on his left, and slides a large oversized circular mirror on a stand into view on the right. He then stands in front of the mirror, and holds the letter in front of if, making the backwards-written message even more clearer now)
Brain: It says...(clears throat) You will bow before The Brain! (turns to face mirror) You see, Pinky...(tosses letter aside on the left and turns to face the audience) The right side of the brain will subconsciously register this message, thus planting the seed for my ultimate conquest!
Pinky (stands next to Brain): Yay! 5 minutes at the "Piggly Wiggly"! (holds up hands in the air)
Brain (sighs): Wha...no, Pinky! World domination!
Pinky (lowers hands): Oh, right! (laughs): HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TROZ!
Brain: What is "Troz"?
Pinky: Well, that's "Zort" in the mirror! (pulls out piece of paper with the word "Zort" written on it) HAHAHAHAHAHA! (faces mirror and holds paper out to see "Zort" backwards) TROZ!
Brain (sighs and pushes mirror out of view to the right): Anyways...(walks back over to the oversized computer in the center area of the stage) After the initial mailing, the superstitious humans will quickly spread the chain AND my message, across the globe! (pushes button on keyboard, making the computer screen show an electronic map of the world flashing with little red blinking lights) Impressive plan, isn't it, Pinky? (turns around and grins while facing the audience)
Pinky (walks over to Brain): Egad Brain! Brilliant! (suddenly stops and looks upset): Oh, wait, no...we're going to need a bazillion dollars for stamps! (looks very concerned)
Brain (waves a hand out): Taken care of, Pinky...(walks over to the far left side of the stage and pulls out a large oversized stack of paperclipped documents) As you can see here, I used the "Lab Requisition" requesting stamp money from the government! (slides large oversized document paper stack out of view to the left)
(Suddenly, a loud mailbox flap opening noise is heard offstage of the far right side of the stage. Then, a large oversized sealed envelope slides into view on the right. As it does, Brain looks over and notices this. As he does, both he and Pinky walk over to the far right side of the stage to investigate it...)\
Pinky: Oh, is that for the stamp money you told me about, Brain?
Brain (notices his name on the envelope): Yes...YES! (rips open the left side of the envelope) Now to see what's inside...(pops his head inside) Hmmm...no check. (pulls his head back out) Let me see what this is then...(pulls out giant halfway-folded oversized sheet of paper) Now...(pushes now-opened oversized envelope out of view to the right) let me just unfold this...(grabs the left side and carefully moves to unfold the letter) Now, let's see what it is...
Pinky (stands beside Brain)
Brain (reading from the letter): Do not break this chain...blah, blah, blah...(murmurs as he skims through it) Cornell Spats broke this chain in Nairobi and was trampled by angry dik-diks.
Pinky (sniffs): Oh, poor man...(sheds a tear) I heard about that.
Brain: Odd...this our letter exactly! Someone...(eyes widen) Someone has stolen our idea! (grabs letter and walks over to the right) Pinky, get that mirror, quick!
Pinky: Oki-doki, brain! Narf! (reaches out and pulls the large oversized circular mirror into view again)
Brain (holds letter up in front of the mirror)
Pinky (stands next to Brain): you will bow down before...Snowball? (looks confused)
Brain (drops letter) S-Snowball? (tosses letter out of view on the right)
Pinky (pushes mirror out of view on the right): I met a Snowball today, right here in the lab! (turns to face Brain)
Brain (quickly turns around): What?! (puts his hands on his hips) Describe him!
Pinky: Well, he had 2 eyes! Oh, and a mouth, right below his nooooose!
Brain (sarcastic): How very descriptive..
Pinky: Oh, oh! A-And he had a very strange tattoo! (points up his left index finger)
Brain (eyes widen): T-tattoo? (holds up a fist) What kind?
Pinky: It was a circle a-a-a-a-and an A! Like um...uh...um...(looks left and right)
Brain (holds out his right leg): Like...(grabs upper leg part of his fur suit) this?! (lifts up the upper leg part of his fur suit, revealing a fake red tattoo with a circle and an A and the word "Labs" underneath it, within said circle, all in red on top of a leg covered in pink makeup)
(The entire audience gasps over the idea of mice in labs getting tattoos on their legs, like Pinky and Brain, despite these tattoos bein fake. The audience then quiets down, and the scene continues to take place...)
Pinky: Naaaaaaarf...t-that's it exactly! (crouches down and looks shocked) But Brain...(stands back up) What is that?! (points to tattoo) What does that mean!?
Brain (lowers upper leg part of full suit back down, covering the fake tattoo): It means Pinky, that evil lurks among us! Evil...by the name...of Snowball! (looks up and faces the entire audience again) SNOWBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!
Random voice offstage to the left: Yes?
Brain (turns to face the left)
(Suddenly, right on queue, the actor dressed up as and portraying Snowball himself enters stage left, causing the entire audience to cheer and clap very loudly for his official debut in the show. The actor playing Snowball is wearing a light-brown fur suit (with a white fur stomach patch area) that covers his body, his neck, the upper arms, his head, and the upper legs. His lower arms, lower legs, and sides of his head, as well as parts of his face, all have brown prosthetic light-brown makeup covering those areas. The actor also has some light-brown facial makeup on his face, a fake red nose covering his actual nose, fake furry hamster ears covering his real ears, and patches of pink prosthetic fur covering his hands and feet. He also has a fake hamster tail sticking out of the back-bottom area of his fur suit, and on the top of his head, he had a rubber-silicone prosthetic covered in fake fur, making it look like that from the forehead and up, he has an enlarged brain and head like Brain's (but also not too big so it seamed a little realistic). This all creates the illusion of a taking hamster. After about 45 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the scene continues to take place...)
Snowball (facing the entire audience): Yes, thank you! (bows) Thank you! Oh, it feels so good to be liked by humans! (bows again) Once again, thank you all! Hey, remind me to give you autographed pictures of myself! (bows) Now, where was I? Oh, right...this! (turns to Brain; looking smug) Well, its been a long time, my friend. You never call...you never write...(approaches Brain)
Brain: I've been busy, Snowball.
Snowball (gets up in Brain's face, grinning): Oh...(shakes head) So I've heard. Failing to take over the world must be VERY time-consuming.
Brain (steps back): What is it you want?
Snowball: Well...(pretends to look thoughtful) Seeing that I've already stolen your chain letter scheme for world domination...(grins again) How about your sidekick? He'd make a valuable asset...(folds arms)
Brain: Pinky? (looks over at Pinky on the right)
Pinky (twisting his large prosthetic ears like toys) Hmmm...hmmm...and now...(lets them go, allowing them unwind like a spinning toy): LALALALALALALALA! (falls on his butt) Ow! HAHAHAHAHAHA! TROZ!
Brain (looks back at Snowball again): You think would be an asset?
Snowball (angry tone): Anything that I can take from YOU is an asset! (clenches teeth together)
Brain (eyes Snowball's teeth): I see you're not flossing!
Snowball (hisses angrily): You know, while I'm here, you should at least tell Pinky all about our past! (smiles) Its an interesting story indeed...
Brain (turns away and folds arm): Never!
Snowball: Fine...if you won't tell it, then I will! And I will tell it to you both...in a song!
Pinky (jumps back up): Oh, I love songs! (claps) Yay! Snowball is going to sing us a song! NARF! (jumps up with excitement) NARF! TROZ! POIT!
Brain: Pinky! No! Don't encourage him!
Pinky (stops clapping): Spoilsport. (folds arms)
Snowball: Now, now, Brain, don't be so harsh on your own sidekick! If he wants to hear a song and you don'...that's perfectly fine with me! (pulls put sheet music sheets from behind him) Now, to get the tunes...(looks over at the head of the conductor in the orchestra pit) Hey! (points at conductor) Hey you!
Conductor (looks up and lifts himself up some more; confused)
Snowball (approaches the front-center area of the stage) Play these for me, please. (bends down and hands the conductor the sheet music sheets)
Conductor (grabs them with his right hand)
Snowball: Oh, and to entice you to play this song even more...(pulls out a 100$ bill from behind him) Here is a crisp and legit Benjamin Franklin bill here! (grins) Here you go! That is your tip! (hands it to the conductor)
Conductor (takes the cash and gives Snowball at thumbs-up)
Snowball: Ah, good! Now, get to work and make this song come alive! (steps back)
Conductor (nods and steps back down all the way into the orchestra pit, with only his head showing and sticking up like before)
Snowball (clears throat): Now, here is my story of how I met my former friend, Brain! And now...a one, and a two...a one...two...three...four!
(Suddenly, some serious but zany comedy music starts playing in the background. As it does, Snowball begins to sign his very first solo musical number in the show...)
Snowball (singing): Hey everyone!
This is my show moment now!
So listen up, and listen to me,
As you're all about to here,
My very TRAGIC story! (Stomps right foot)
I'm just a hamster, yes,
But of course, I can talk and sing to all of you!
Listen to my story,
And refrain from using your phones!
Because if you try to even send a text,
It'll be YOUR tragic story now! (stomps left foot)
A long time ago,
I was just a hamster in a pet store!
I had a mother and father,
Like most of you fools in this audience!
My mother and father loved me so much!
I had a happy life,
Living inside of a log,
But then one fateful day,
The morons known as humans captured me in my sleep that night!
I was taken here to "ACME Labs",
I was given some vaccines...
OUCH! They hurt!
And then was given a tattoo like Brain's! (pulls up upper left leg of the fur suit, revealing a fake red tattoo like Brain's)
And with no painkillers, so...
OUCH! It hurt too! (lowers upper left leg of fur suit, covering the fake tattoo)
Then, I was assigned my new home to live in!
A metal cage with no bed, bathroom, or living room!
And no, I didn't even get a pillow or blanket,
Or even something as simple as a newspaper clipping!
I was scared,
I was crying,
And I was searching all over for my mommy and daddy!
I pinched myself because I thought it was a dream!
But when I gave myself that pinched,
OW! It hurt me and I confirmed that I was still awake!
And as you know, this whole event,
Was part of my,
My very TRAGIC story!
Then I met a young Brain here! (points to Brain)
He was so carefree and nice,
Despite his own fears at the time!
He was a nice boy, and we instantly bonded as friends! (stop pointing at Brain)
We made silly faces together, played "Tag" with each other,
And we even shared jokes with each other,
As cute little mouse children friends!
But came that tragic day, after many years have gone by...
When a now-adult Brain and I were taken out of the cage,
And were put through several painful tests! (stomps left foot):
We were tossed at walls of specials putties...
Used in cars as crash test dummies!
We were also forced to eat nuts,
But my problem was,
I WAS ALLERGIC TO NUTS! (cringes)
But that wasn't even the WORST of those experiments and torture!
The worse day came just an hour later!
Us innocent little mice kids...
Were both tied up with rope,
And placed on a conveyor belt! (runs over and stands on the oversized keyboard)
And then, with the push of a button...(jumps all over the keyboard, pressing several keys randomly)
We were sent through a machine called...
"PROJECT BRAIN"! (jumps off of the keyboard)
This machine spliced our genes,
And also gave us these enlarged heads with large brains in them! (points to his head)
And as you can see,
It stripped us of our childhood innocence!
Now, we were smart, and not so cute anymore!
We both had ideas for one thing mind...
WORLD DOMINATION! YES, THAT'S IT! (jumps)
But our ideas were extremely different!
His plans were for one reason,
But my plans were a little different!
So as a result, WE BOTH GOT INTO A FIGHT!
Oh yeah, a fight, part of my very TRAGIC story!
This fight was very violent, and too violent to go into details!
Sorry folks, but this isn't an R-rated movie!
So, at the end of this fight, Brain won,
And tossed me outside the lab!
It was cold and wet, and it started to rain!
But I angrily stormed off,
With nowhere to go!
So, as you can see, that ends my story!
The story I refer to as,
My very TRAGIC story!
It was sad, it was zany,
It was kooky, and it was emotional!
This story of mine serves as a lesson!
And lesson is, for all of you, to NEVER MAKE FRIENDS!
So, as you all see, that is my story!
So, just never make friends,
And you will alright!
And course, that is my tragic story!
It was tragic, and yes I'm the victim! (runs forward to the front-center area of the stage again)
So, what that story out of the way,
Its time for me to end this song,
And of course, put an end to...
MY VERY TRAGIC STORY! (stomps both feet) YEAH!
(The serious but zany comedy music stops playing in the background. As it does, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly for Snowball's first solo musical number of the entire show. After about 30 seconds, the loud cheering and clapping from the entire audience dies down. As it does, the rest of the scene continues to take place...)
Pinky (clapping): Horary! Hooray! Hooray! Yay for Snowball! (jumps up and down wildly) That song was so amazing and well-sung out! You're such a great singer! NARF! ZORT! POIT! NARF! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! (stops clapping)
Snowball (bows): Oh, thank you! Thank you! It was nothing! (steps back over to where both Pinky and Brain are standing)
Brain (folds arms and sighs): It was alright...I guess...even though I hate to admit it.
Snowball (shakes head): Oh Brain...so close-minded like a fool. (stops shaking head)
Brain (growls angrily at Snowball's comment)
Snowball (places hands behind his back): Now, if you'll excuse me...I have a world to conqueror. (exits stage left)
Brain (says nothing but looks shocked over Snowball stealing his plan)
(As Snowball exits stage left, the Narrator enters stage right, stands over on the front-center area of the stage, and faces the entire audience. As he does, he pulls out his book again, opens his book back to the previous page from before, and begins narrating to the entire audience once again...)
And that was the conclusion of Scene 9 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! And this villain that was introduced into the show was none other than Snowball! Yep, Snowball the Hamster has been brought to life in this Broadway musical! Now, Snowball is the proper villain for this show as in the original cartoon, he had quite a few reoccurring appearances and rolls in a few episodes. And it looks like he stole Brain's plan to take over the world! Uh oh...Brain and Pinky better have a very ingenuous plan to stop him since Brain wants to be the one to take over and rule the world! And the song Snowball sang was based off of the real-life song titled "The Whole Being Dead Thing" from the very popular Broadway musical, "Beetlejuice: The Musical"! Well, its time for us all to move on to Scene 10 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
