Hello again, everyone! I'm back once again! And even during this difficult time of the COVID-19 pandemic, things are starting to look up! Movie theater chains such as "AMC" and "Regal Cinemas" have begun to reopen with safety precautions in place to keep moviegoers safe during this difficult time. And of course, here I am, coming out with Scene 14 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! In this scene, we will find out what happens with Pinky and Brain arriving and sneaking into the "MicroSponge" computer company building after following a truck there upon "ACME Labs" being mysteriously sold. Oh, and of course, there will be a musical number within this scene! YAY! Isn't that great?! And now, let's all sit back, relax, and begin Scene 14 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
Brain (steps forward): Now, look carefully, Pinky? Snowball has got to be around here somewhere...(looks left and right)
Pinky (steps forward): I got you, Brain. NARF! (looks left and right)
(Suddenly, Snowball enters stage left, and walks towards the right side of the hallway setting where a door is located on the far-right side. He passes behind both Pinky and Brain. But then, Pinky looks behind him, and notices Snowball approaching the door over on the far-right...)
Pinky (gasps): Look, Brain! (points to Snowball)
Brain (turns and widens his eyes): Snowball!
Snowball (says nothing but opens door on the far-right side of the hallway wall before walking through it, disappearing behind it, and closing it behind him)
Brain (ushers for Pinky to follow him): Come on, Pinky! (rushes over to the door)
Pinky (nods and follows Brain)
(Both mice rush over to the door on the far-right side of the hallway wall and get ready to open it...)
Brain: Snowball is right behind this door, Pinky! When we open it, we will tackle him to the ground, and make him PAY for what he did to the lab!
Pinky: Tackle him? Oh, like football! NARF!
Brain (sighs): Yes Pinky...like in football...now, let's do this! On 3! 1...2...3...OPEN!
(Both Pinky and Brain swing open the door very fast, but instead of Snowball right behind it, an actor playing Bill Grates is standing behind it. The actor playing Bill Grates is wearing a light blue dress shirt, light brown dress pants, a dark brown belt, brown dress shoes, and glasses. As Bill Grates is revealed, the entire audience cheers and laughs for this said reveal. After about 30 seconds, the cheering and laughing dies down, and the scene continues to take place...)
Pinky (gasps) This isn't Snowball! (moves out of the way)
Brain: Pinky, its the world's richest nerd, Bill Grates! (moves out of the way, too)
Bill Grates (says nothing but exits the doorway, closes the door behind him, and exits stage right)
Brain: Maybe he has seen Snowball, Pinky! Let's go follow him and ask him if he has seen him! (runs out of view, exiting stage right)
Pinky: Right behind you, Brain! NARF! (runs out of view, also exiting stage right)
(As both Pinky and Brain exit stage right, the stage lights shining over the front and center area of the stage dim. As they do, some more transitional music plays in the background, and another set transition takes place. As it does, the hallway wall panel goes up, revealing a setting resembling a board room behind it, complete with a long wooden rectangular table with 4 swivel chairs in the very center, a tall marble pillar on both the left and right side of the stage towards the back, a few fancy light fixtures dangling high above the stage, and a dark red back wall at the far back area of the stage with a fancy framed painting displayed on the left and right side of said wall, along with a large set of wide rectangular brown double doors located in the center of the wall. Seated at the far-left end of the table and on the sides of the table are 3 ensemble members dressed up as Random Board Room Members, with 2 of them being women siting on the sides, and the 3rd one being a man sitting on the far-left end of the table. All of the Board Room Members have a computer screen and keyboard positioned in front of then. The far-right end of the table has an empty chair and a computer and keyboard in front of it. As the set transition nears completion, some more tall marble pillars come down on the left and right sides of the stage in the center and front area of the stage. As they do, the stage lights shining over the back, center, and front area of the stage come back on. As they do, the transitional music stops playing in the background. As it does, the next scene begins, all as Bill Grates enters stage left and walks over to the far-right end of the table...)
Bill Grates (sitting down at his seat and pushing his char in a little): Hello everyone! (turns on his computer)
All Random Board Room Members: Hi Bill!
(Suddenly, both Pinky and Brain enter stage left, and stop as they watch what goes on at the table from over on the left side of the stage...)
Bill Grates: I got an important announcement! I've taken the bank interest I made yesterday, and bought out every bankrupt municipality on the planet! I now own 51% of the world!
Male Board Room Member: But that's a controlling interest!
Bill Grates (nods and holds up index finger): That is THE controlling interest, my friend! (lowers index finger) Simply stated: I RULE the world! Oh, and one more announcement!
Female Board Room Member 1: And what's that?
Bill Grates: You'll see! (pushes a random key on his keyboard)
(Suddenly, as Bill Grates pushes the random key on his keyboard, "KABOOM!", a large explosion noise occurs, and a large cloud of dry ice smoke suddenly covers up the entire area where Bill Grates is sitting. Then, after about 20 seconds, the dry ice smoke quickly disperses, and then, Bill Grates is no longer sitting in his chair, but Snowball is...)
Snowball: I'm a hamster! (grins)
All Random Board Room Members (gasp): Bill!?
Snowball: No...
Pinky and Brain (gasps): Snowball!
Male Board Room Member (stands up): Well...Bill still owns this company! (points down at floor) And now, you need to leave!
Snowball: Incorrect! (pulls out a contract and holds it up for all to see) He signed it over to me!
Male Board Room Member (gasps): But...but...w-why would he do that?! (backs up)
Snowball: Well, it was quite simply...(places contract down and folds arms) I told him that this was a contract to direct feature films. (smirks) Now...(gets up and points to the left side of the stage) GO! ALL OF YOU!
Female Board Room Member 2 (gets up and cries): But...I need this job! (cries louder) YOU MONSTER! (runs out of view to the left, exiting stage left while crying)
Female Board Room Member (also runs out of view to the left and exits stage left)
Female Board Room Member 1: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (runs out of view to the left, also exiting stage left)
Brain (glares at Snowball): Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain! But Snowball for "Windows"?
Brain: No Pinky! He's beaten us! Snowball HAS taken over the world!
Snowball (looks over at Pinky and Brain): HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (gets up from chair and walks over to them) Well Brain, this just must positively STINK! (stands next to Brain) HAHAHAHA! But...(holds up an index finger) I'm not without pity. (places a hand on Brain's head) Now that I'm ruler of all humanity, I gladly offer you the position of Vice Dictator!
Brain (clearly irritated; balls up fists): Never!
Snowball: Ah, very well then...(turns around to face Pinky) Pinky, would you like the job? (removes hand from Brain's head)
Pinky (gasps and frowns): What do I look like?! Some type of genetically mutated mouse?! (balls up fists) I'll NEVER be a part of your evil empire! (turns around and folds arms in front of him)
Snowball (rubs his chin): Hmmm...well, that's too bad...because, Vice Dictators get their own amusement park! (pulls out remote controller from behind him and pushes a button)
(As Snowball pushes the button, the computer desk and all its chairs in the center of the setting disappear below the stage via hydraulic lift and sliding trapdoor, and the large set of wide rectangular double doors built-in to the back wall panel of the setting swing open outward, revealing a medium-scale amusement park model setting behind it, while using forced perspective it make it seem larger than it really is. The setting of the park has a bright orange and yellow sunrise backdrop behind it all, and there is a carousel, a Ferris wheel, and a wooden roller coaster. A curved yellow rectangular sign hanging above the now-open doorway has the words "Pinkyland" written on it in purple cursive letters. Instead of Pinky's face being featured on any of the rides or the park's name sign like in the cartoon, the rides are just plain generic and colorful in terms of design, but Pinky-themed makes for the attractions appear on various yellow rectangular signs spread out throughout the setting. Playing in the background is some loud carnival ambiance music. Pinky gasps at this whole park right within his reach. As he does, the entire audience cheers and claps wildly for such a reveal. After about 30 seconds, the wild cheering and clapping dies down, and the scene continues...)
Pinky: Its so...beautiful! (sniffs) Oh, I wish I could go there...but...but...(looks over at Brain) I'm...I'm too loyal to Brain! (folds arms) Sorry Snowball, but...I-I won't give in to your luxuries and fun! (folds arms) And that's final!
Snowball (grins): Oh, but I still can convince you...(nods) How, you ask? Well Pinky, Vice Dictators ALSO get a musical number! (puts 2 fingers in his mouth and whistles) Oh "Pinkyland" Carnies, come on in here!
(And right on queue, 10 male ensemble members come out from the amusement park setting and enter into the boardroom setting through the open doorway. They are all dressed up as carnival carnies, with each of them wearing a white dress shirt, a red and white stripped V-neck vest, dark blue pants, brown dress shoes, black waist belts, and a yellow-white straw hat with a red stripe near the rim, and also holding a wooden cane. Snowball grins as they all appeared into the setting, all while he, Brain, and Pinky continue to stand over on the far-left side...)
Pinky (eyes widen): What the...?
Pinky (confused): Uh...who are these guys, Snowball?
Snowball (looks over at Pinky and grins): Just a little...treat for you, Pinky. (faces the Carnies) Guys, let's show him the benefits of being my Vice Dictator! And a 1...2...3...4...GO!
(Suddenly, some upbeat music begins to play in the background. As it does, the carnies all stand next to each other in front of the open doorway, hold their canes out in front of them, begin to dance by twirling their canes around and march-dancing back and forth, and begin to sing the next musical number of the show...)
Snowball (singing): Pinky, I promise this is the life you want!
Come on Pinky, join our side!
Unlimited luxuries and your own theme park!
Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come Pinky, join our side!
Come on Pinky, Join our side!
Brain: Pinky, that's all rubbish! Don't listen to him!
Snowball: Oh, now Brain...don't be so close-minded on Pinky's behalf!
Pinky (lowers arms; mesmerized by the song): Oh boy...this is very catchy for a song...
Brain (gasps): Pinky, don't...
Snowball (singing): Pinky, you will get to live in a mansion and not a cage!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Snowball (singing): You will get only gourmet meals!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Snowball (singing): You can have fun everyday,
And no one will ever bop you on the head!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Oh yeah!
Snowball (singing): And so to that,
All I say is...
All 10 Carnies and Snowball (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Come on Pinky, join our side!
Snowball: Pinky, tell me this...if you could have anything in the world right now, what would it be?
Pinky (rubs his chin): Hmmm...what's a tough one...wait, I know! (stops rubbing his chin)
Snowball (grins): Good...(rubs hands together) Now sing it out, and let us all know what you want, and in return, we can make it happen!
Brain (gasps): No, Pinky! Don't do it! Don't listen to him...
Snowball (covers Brain mouth with his right hand): Now, now, now, Brain...its not polite to interfere with someone else's conversation! (looks up and smiles) Tell us your deep desires, Pinky! I'm all ears! (removes right hand from Brain's mouth)
Pinky (singing): Well, to start off with,
I would like some cotton candy!
Snowball (singing): Alright Pinky, you got it! (pulls out a bag of cotton candy from behind one of the Carnies and hands it to Pinky)
Pinky (singing): Oh, yes! (grabs bag of cotton candy with his left hand) And also, I would like an ice cream cone, too!
Snowball (singing): Alright Pinky, you got it! (pulls out an ice cream cone from behind his back and hands it to Pinky)
Pinky (singing): Thank you very much, Snowball!
I haven't eaten all night! (grabs ice cream cone with his right hand)
But I'm not done with requests,
I have many more!
However, since I'm hungry now,
I'll tell you later on!
Snowball (singings): Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies and Snowball (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Brain (grabs Pinky by the shoulder and pulls him closer to him): Pinky, what are you doing?!
Pinky: Oh, Brain! Hehehe...(holds out cotton candy and ice cream cone) I was just hungry and...
Brain (takes cotton candy and ice cream cone from Pinky): Pinky, no! Snowball is trying to win you order by bribing you with food! Don't give in to ANYTHING that Snowball offers! (tosses ice cream cone and cotton candy bag out of view to the left)
Pinky: But I'm hungry, Brain!
Brain: I don't care, Pinky! Snowball is our enemy and we must be strong, and...
Snowball (walks over to Brain and shoves him backwards onto the floor): Enough from you, Brain! (turns to Pinky) Poor Pinky...getting is cotton candy and ice cream snatched from him. (shakes his head) Don't worry Pinky, you have more food and as much as you want! And, you have a dedicated staff to prepare you food, and serve all of your needs! (grins)
Pinky (gasps): I do?
Snowball (singing): Oh yes, you do my friend!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
People who will make and bring you what you want!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies and Snowball (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Come on Pinky, join our side!
Come on, Pinky!
Brain (gets up): Pinky, don't listen to him! If you want food, we can...uh...uh...s-sneak into a "McDonalds" or even a "Piggly Wiggly"!
Pinky (turns to Brain): Well, that does sound good...
Snowball: Oh no, Pinky...you don't want to commit a crime and break into a place! With me, you get all of the food legally without the risk of getting jailtime!
Pinky (turns back to Snowball): Oh, that sounds better!
Brain: Pinky, don't...
Snowball (kicks Brain over): Shut up, Brain! I have all the better benefits on my side! Come on, Carnies! Kick up the convincing up a notch!
Brain: Ow...(gets up again)
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
Snowball: And now, allow me introduce you to your personal staff! (puts 2 fingers in his mouth and whistles again)
(As the music continues to play in the background, the 10 dancing Carnies split up into 2 groups of 5, with 5 Carnies standing on the left side of the open doorway and 5 Carnies standing over on the right side of the open doorway. Then, about 5 more ensemble actors enter into view from the left, dancing as they made their appearance. The additional 5 ensemble members included a maid, a personal chef, a butler, a gardener, and a repairman. As they each appeared onstage within the boardroom setting, they all began to dance in a circle a few feet in front of the open doorway. As they did, the Carnies rejoined together and stood side-by-side once again, dancing just as they did before. As they did, Snowball pointed at each her ensemble actor character, and began to sing his next lines of the musical number...)
Snowball (singing): Here is your personal maid to clean up your space! (points to Maid)
Here is your chef to cook all of your meals! (points to Personal Chef)
Here is your butler, who's name is Jones! (points to Butler Jones)
Here is your own gardener, who can make topiary bushes shaped just like you! (points to Gardener)
Here is your repairman, to fix anything you accidently break! (points to Repairman)
Pinky (gasps): Wow! All of that for me?!
Snowball (singing): Yes Pinky, it can all be yours,
And there is just one more...
(Suddenly, the upbeat music changes into a slow grand revealing soundtrack. The ensemble actors playing the Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman stop dancing in the circle and stand over on the left of the open doorway. As they to, all 10 Carnies stand over on the right side of the open doorway! And then, a blonde-haired actress playing a Las Vegas-styled showgirl wearing a skin-tight sparkling red dress, pink fluffy legging tights, purple high-heeled shoes, and a golden feather-like headpiece. She slowly strides forward, and Snowballs sings in a slow tone of voice...)
Snowball (slowly singing): And not mention Showgirl Sabrina...
She's the prettiest showgirl of them all!
If anytime you need entertainment...
She and her troupe will dance just for you!
YEAH!
(Suddenly, the music goes back to the same upbeat music playing in the background from before. As it does, an instrumental break occurs. As it does, all 10 Carnies, Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman all spread out and begin to dance all around the setting. Then, about 10 ensemble actresses dressed up as Showgirls (each with different hair colors, and wearing silver sparkling dresses and an orange feather-like headpiece instead) entered the setting from behind the doorway on the right side. The 10 Carnies then began backflipping and cartwheeling all over the setting multiple times, while Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman began twirling around multiple times in various dance styles, all while slowly rotating in one large circle. Then, the 10 Showgirls and Showgirl Sabrina stood over in the front part of the stage, doing some high kicking dance moves. As this all happened, Brain opened his mouth but didn't speak in shock, and so did Pinky. Snowball just folded his arms and grinned the whole time. As this all happened, after about 30 seconds, the Carnies stopped doing backflips and cartwheels, and began to sing again, along with the rest of the ensemble actors onstage...)
All 10 Carnies (singing): As you can see, Dear Pinky,
Snowball's side is what you want!
So ditch your friend Brain,
And come on and join us!
All 10 Carnies and Snowball (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Showgirls and Showgirl Sabrina (singing): Oh yeah! Oh yes! Yippee!
Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on Pinky, The Brain is just using you!
All 10 Showgirls and Showgirl Sabrina (stops dancing; singing): Come on Pinky, The Brain is just using you!
Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman (stops dancing; singing): Come on Pinky, The Brain is just using you!
Snowball (singing): Pinky, we're only the ones to trust!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come on...come on, Pinky!
All 10 Showgirls and Showgirl Sabrina (singing): Oh, come on...
All Ensemble Members (singing): Come on Pinky, join our side!
All 10 Carnies (singing): Come oooooooooon...
Pinky, please join our side!
All 10 Showgirls and Showgirl Sabrina (singing): Come oooooooooon...
Pinky, please join our side!
Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman (singing): Come oooooooooon...
Pinky, please join our side!
All Ensemble Members, Snowball Sabrina, and Snowball (all stepping forward and getting together; singing): Come on, Pinky!
Join...our...SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDE!
(The upbeat music stops playing in the background. As it does, the entire audience cheers and claps very loudly for the most heavily choregraphed musical number in the show that just occurred. After about 30 seconds, the very loud cheering and clapping dies down. As it does, the very next scene of the show begins to take place. As the remaining scene began, the ensemble actors playing all 10 Showgirls, along with Showgirl Sabrina, Maid, Personal Chef, Butler Jones, Gardener, and Repairman all rush out of view through the open doorway into the amusement park setting, disappearing behind the back wall panel. The 10 Carnies remain behind, and they stand over by the open doorway on the right side, smiling and waving at Pinky, all while waiting to see how Pinky feels now after the musical number...)
Pinky (stunned): Well...it does seem...perfect...(smiles)
Brain (gasps): Pinky! (balls fists)
Pinky (points to amusement park and all 10 smiling and waving Carnies): B-B-B-B-But B-Brain...
Brain (sarcastic): Oh, go ahead, Pinky! (turns away and frowns) I don't need you! What do you think? I just...have you around so I can steal your brilliant ideas and claim them as my own!? That I'm just using you, Pinky!? Oh yes, I'm using you for for brilliance!
Pinky (gasps): B-B-B-B-B-But...that's exactly what Snowball said! (begins to tear up) Why...its true! (drops down on his knees and begins to cry) TROZ! TROOOOOZ! (cries loudly and covers his face)
Brain (eyes widen and covers his mouth): Oh no...
Snowball (grins): Oh Brain...you and your big mouth. (looks down and pretends to be concerned) Pinky? Pinky? Are you okay?
Narrator (enters stage right, takes out his open book, and faces the entire audience): Now, as you can see, Brain was ONLY being sarcastic with what he said to Pinky. (turns page) But due to Pinky's lack of intelligence, he was unable to understand that Brain was only be sarcastic at all. So naturally, after Pinky heard everything that Brain said, he became very sad and upset right away, thinking that what Snowball had told him previously was true all along...(exits stage right)
Pinky: No...I'm not okay! (cries some more)
Brain (reaches down to put a hand on Pinky's shoulder): Pinky, I...I...I didn't mean it like tha...
Pinky (pushes Brain's hand away): No! Don't say anything else you...you...big-headed meanie! You told me your true colors...and I NEVER want to see YOU or your STUPID FACE AGAIN! (cries some more) Snowball?
Snowball: Yes? (grins)
Pinky (gets up and faces Snowball through his tears): I'll take that job! But...provided that there are no lines for the "Tilt-A-Whirl"! (wipes tears with his tail)
Snowball (folds arms in front of him): Done! (grins)
Pinky (stops crying and smiles): Thank you! Well, I'm going to go have fun! (runs towards the open doorway) Carnies, I'm joining Snowball's side!
All 10 Carnies (cheering): YAY!
Pinky: Now, show me the way to the roller coaster!
All 10 Carnies: You got it, Mr. Pinky!
Pinky (runs through the open doorway and into the amusement park setting): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ZORT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NARF! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
All 10 Carnies: Wait for us, Mr. Pinky! (rushes through the doorway after Pinky)
(As Pinky and all 10 Carnies rush into the amusement park setting, the wide pair of double doors swung shut, concealing the entire amusement park setting behind it. As it does, the carnival music stops playing in the background, and the scene continues to take place...)
Brain: Pinky! (rushes up to the doors) Pinky, wait! Pinky! (places a hand on the doors) Pinky...(sighs) He's gone...(turns around) It's too late...(glares at Snowball) You! (points at Snowball) Y-You did this!
Snowball (turns to face Brain): HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry to tell you this Brain but...YOU did this to yourself actually! HAHAHAHAHA! (grins and lowers arms) But...it's not too late, Brain! (places a hand on his shoulder) You could still be...oh, I don't know...maybe...Surgeon General?
Brain: Never! (turns away) Snowball...y-y-you win...(sighs) If I can't take over the world, I would rather not do ANYTHING for you! (walks towards the left side of the stage) Snowball...you sunk to a new low...a low that I thought you would never cross...goodbye...and I...(sighs) Never mind...just...goodbye forever. (sniffs and exits stage left)
Snowball: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This is a win for me! 1 point for Snowball and 0 for Brain! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I now rule the world and Pinky is mine! HAHAHAHA! Oh, what a stupid pair of mice! Yes, Pinky, might be a little...stupid, but I can deal with it as long as Brain is miserable and I get to take over the world! HAHAHAHA! Well, I better get to work! Being the ruler of the world is a BIG job and I must work hard until the day I die! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'll check on Pinky later. Man, what a stupid simpleton mouse! (exits stage right)
(As Snowball exits stage right, the lights shinning above the front, center, and back areas of the stage dim. As they do, some more transitional music begins to play in the background. As it does, the 2 tall marbles on both the left side and right side of the stage rise up out of view. As they do, a large backdrop panel with a painting of a black Los Angeles city skyline and a dark-blue sky in the background comes down in the center area of the stage, concealing the entire boardroom setting behind it. As this wall panel comes down into position, the transitional music stops playing in the background. As it does, the stage lights shining above the front and center area of the stage come back on. As they do, Brain enters stage left, looking very sad and depressed as the very next scene begins to take place...)
And that was the thrilling conclusion of Scene 14 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine! It seems that A LOT just happened in this scene! Yes, Snowball was behind the whole thing with "ACME Labs" being sold, and he has indeed taken over the world before Brain! Oh, poor Brain...poor, poor, Brain. And now, Snowball's plan to take Pinky away from Brain FINALLY worked as Pinky was too dumb to understand sarcasm from Brain and thought that Brain really had meant what he said. And the song from Snowball and his henchmen was based off of the real-life song, "Hasa Diga Eebowai" from the popular adult Broadway and touring musical, "The Book of Mormon"! Well, its time for us all to move on to Scene 14 of Act 1 of this brand-new Broadway musical script story of mine!
