Transcript for Pinky and the Brain
Carolyn C. Caba
Does anyone know where I can get a transcript for You Said a
Mouseful (P and B episode)? The one where they infiltrate the
Hackensask Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker factory? There must be at
least someone that I can contact!
Please help! This is for the betterment of the lives of college
students!

someone else on the net; if you like I'll take a stab @ transcribing YSaM
myself. Just say the word.

one. Kane did it also, and was even able to decipher the singers
babbling at the end. After a long search, I finally found my
transcript...
"You Said a Mouseful"
Written by Gordon Bressack; Directed by Kirk Tingblad

BRAIN: "The recalibration of the infindibulum capacitor is dependant
upon... Grrr. The uh, the ratio of the formula of H2O plus the square
root of the uh... That sound, it's incessant!"
LAB ASSISTANT: "Heh, I'll get it."
BRAIN: "Bah! What sort of idiot would waste away his life on such utter
mindlessness? Oof!"
PINKY: "Haha, it's loads of fun, Brain, and just a trifle painful.
BRAIN: "Ask a stupid question..."
PINKY: "Narf! Alright, Brain. Why do they call it lunch?"
BRAIN: "I have no idea, Pinky, except that you are out to it! Now go
away before I am forced to add the weight of an eraser to your head!
Wait! That's it! the weight of an eraser subtracted from the...
They're doing it again."
TV ANNOUNCER: Yes, they're doing it in Lapland. They're doing it in
Brazil. They're even doing it in Washington, D.C. Kicky Sack.
Everyone's doing it. Kicky Sack, the sensation that kicks fun into high
gear. Just pump up your official Kicky Sack sack kickers, and kick
off." (KIDS ON COMMERCIAL: "It's a kick!") Kicky Sack, from Socko!
Kicky Sack sack kickers and khaki socks sold separately."
PINKY: "It's my favorite commercial. I like it even better than that
commercial where they have all those bland people with big, strange
hair."
BRAIN: "I've told you before, Pinky, that isn't a commercial, It's CNN."
PINKY: "Narf! Imagine my chagrin."
BRAIN: "This is the Axis Shiftatron, a device that will alter the
earth's axis by one-millionth of a percent, causing a shift in weather
patterns, resulting in one less day of rain everywhere in the world,
except for Los Angeles. Even that tiny change in weather patterns will
have a catastrophic effect on coffee bean crops. This will force
everyone to switch to tea drinking."
PINKY: "Annnnd...?"
BRAIN: "What do you mean, 'and'?"
PINKY: "Well, 'but' or 'if' seemed inappropriate.
BRAIN: "(sigh) And this ray will destroy every tea bag in the world...
except mine. As the owner of the world's only tea bag, I will rise to
prominence!"
PINKY: "That's brilliant, Brain! Oh, you're so amazing. You know, I
tried to move the earth yesterday, and it was really, really heavy."
BRAIN: "Actually, Pinky, in your naivete, you've stumbled upon a slight
snafu. The only way the Axis Shiftatron can successfully change the
earth's axis, is if the earth suddenly loses weight!"
PINKY: "Poit! What if everyone on the earth went on a diet?"
BRAIN: "Diets don't work."
PINKY: "Even if you call them a whole new way of eating?"
BRAIN: "No. You might as well ask everyone on earth to pump helium into
their shoes, and suspend themselves in mid-air long enough for me to
implement the Axis Shiftatron. [...] Pump helium... that's it!
Pinky! Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
PINKY: "I think so, Brain, but then my name would be Thumby."
BRAIN: "In a perfect world, your name would be Dummy! We will sneak
into the Socko Kicky Sack sack kicker factory, and alter their assembly
line so that the air being pumped into the Kicky Sack sack kickers will
be replaced by helium gas, causing millions of Kicky Sack sack kickers
to rise into the air, thus lifting thousands of people off of the
earth. And then..."
PINKY: "Tea time! Waaah!"
[Outside the Socko Kicky Sack sack kicker factory]
BRAIN: "I must study the operation of the Socko Kicky Sack sack kicker
factory in detail, Pinky."
PINKY: "But Brain, how will we, two small mice, convince the huge owner
to let us inspect his enormous factory?"
BRAIN: "We will introduce ourselves as the only thing guaranteed to gain
the respect of any American businessman... Japanese industrialists,
seeking to buy the company."
[Inside the Socko Kicky Sack sack kicker factory]
BRAIN: "Now remember, I am Mr. Kawasaki, and you are Mr. Hiasaka."
KURT SACKETT: "Welcome to the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker
factory. I'm Kurt Sackett, Senior Supervisor. Can I help you?"
BRAIN: "Yess. We are two tiny Japanese industrialists, seeking to buy
this company. I am Mr. Kawasaki."
PINKY: "And I am Mr., uhh, Turkeylurkey."
BRAIN: "Turkeylurkey? Isn't it Mr. Hiasaka?"
PINKY: "Where!? Poit! Hmm, must've missed him."
KURT: "I am honored by your visit. Let me show you our assembly line.
First, sheets of sheer synthetic sheepskin are slit into several Kicky
Sack shoe shapes and shapely shoe sizes by six sitting sheet slitters."
BRAIN: "I only see five sitting sheet slitters."
KURT: "The sixth sitting sheet slitter's sick. His son Sammy's subbing
'til the sick sixth sitting sheet slitter's back sitting pretty."
PINKY: "You're not the sheet slitter?"
SAMMY: "No, I'm the sheet slitter's son."
PINKY: "Well, you keep on slitting sheets until the sheet slitter
comes! Hohahaha!"
KURT: "The shoe shaper then shapes the slit synthetic sheepskin sheets
and shoots out shoes through the chute. Now, this is Mr. Plunkett, the
new khaki sock plucker. I had to fire our previous sock plucker. He
had a bit of an attitude."
BRAIN: "So, you sacked the cocky khaki Kicky Sack sock plucker?"
KURT: "The second cocky khaki Kicky Sack sock plucker I've sacked since
the sixth sitting sheet slitter got sick. [Power goes out] Whoops!
Don't worry, just an electrical problem. One of the Kicky Sack sack
pickers will have to flick the plug."
PINKY: "Not the khaki sock plucker?"
KURT: "Oh my, no! The kicky sack pickers flick the plug. The khaki
sock plucker can't reach the socket over the latex child parambulator
fenders we use to line the treadmill."
BRAIN: "It might make more sense to have the sick sixth sitting sheet
slitter's son flick the plug, if the sack pickers and the sock pluckers
are behind the rubber baby buggy bumpers."
[The sick sixth sitting sheet slitter's son flicks the plug, restoring
power.]
KURT: "I never thought of that!"
BRAIN: "Of course you didn't."
SACK PICKER #1: "That is one smart fellow. He felt smart!"
PINKY: "Hahaha, ZORT!"
SACK PICKER #2: "Two smart fellows. They felt smart!"
BRAIN: "And what, praytell, is this?"
KURT: "Oh, this is the toy boat I won in the sack race at the Hackensack
Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker khaki sock factory picnic in Secaucus. And
finally, the Socko Kicky Sack kickers are inflated by our genuine Parker
Packard pewter pressure pump."
PINKY: "Look, Brain, uhh, I mean Mr. Turkeylurkey. It's purple!"
BRAIN: "I'm Kawasaki, Pinky. You're Turkeylurkey!"
PINKY: "I don't think that's a very nice thing to say about a person.
Urk!"
BRAIN: "I've seen all I need to see of the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack
Sack Kicker factory. We must take our leave and sneak back under the
cover of nightfall. [Pinky and Brain begin to leave] Uggh!"
KURT: "I see you've met the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker
factory security specialist Peggy Babcock. No one gets past her."
BRAIN: "Peggy Babcock, Peggy Babcock, Peggy Babcock. Why does that name
sound familiar?"
PINKY: "Oh, I think I know. Peggy picked a peck of pickled peppers!"
PEGGY: "GRRRRR!"
[Back at Acme Labs]
BRAIN: "This is it, Pinky!"
PINKY: "Our supper, Brain?"
BRAIN: "No, Pinky. This pea contains a single helium element. Once
this pea is added to the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker factory
assembly line, every Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker will fill with helium
the first time it is inflated. Now Pinky, here is the plan. Remember,
every step must be performed with precision! You must slit the sick
sixth sheet slitter's son's sheet, secure it next to the toy boat from
the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker's picnic in Secaucus,
stretch it past the sack picker's station, and the sock plucker's chute,
and pick a sack, pluck a sock, and flick the plug, so I can put the pea
in the plucked sock, with the picked sack for ballast, and bounce it off
the rubber baby buggy bumper, into the Parker Packard purple pewter
pressure pump. Is that understood?
PINKY: "I understood 'now' and 'Pinky'."
[Back at the Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker factory]
PINKY: "Tra la-la la-la laaa."
BRAIN: "Quiet! [...] I must be fooling myself. This will never work.
PINKY: "Oh, why not, Brain. All I have to do is slit the sick sixth
sheet slitter's son's sheet, and secure it next to the toy boat from the
Hackensack Socko Kicky Sack Sack Kicker's picnic in Secaucus, speed it
past the sock plucker and the sack picker, and pick a sack, pluck a
sock, and flick a plug."
BRAIN: "Why yes, Pinky, that was perfect!"
PINKY: "Poit! Yes, and I have no idea what it means!"
BRAIN: "[Sigh] Then just listen to me. I will shout out each step."
PINKY: "Alright, Brain. And I shall watch out for Peggy Babcock."
BRAIN: "Peggy Babcock?"
PINKY: "Peggy Babcock!! Where?!"
BOTH: "WAAAAAHHHH!!!"
[They crash into each other, the pea flies up and hits brain in the
head.]
BRAIN: "Oooh, ohhh. Now Pinky, shlit the seat."
PINKY: "Which seat?"
BRAIN: "The slick shick sleet sitter's shleat!"
PINKY: "Beg pardon?"
BRAIN: "Oh, I'll do it! [Brain pulls the sheet to the sheet slitter,
then discovers that he is getting too close.] Troy boyt! Tow boyt!
Toy beet!"
PINKY: "Narf! What's a boyt, an..and where should I tow it?"
BRAIN: "Eeeeeeyowwwww! Flick the flug, I mean fleeg the fluk!"
PINKY: "Troz! I wonder what he means by that?"
BRAIN: "Eeeaaaggghhh! Ouch! Oh! Eeeh! Ow! Oooh! Ahh! Oof! [Brain
emerges from the sheet slitter in a shoe.] Ohhh. [He is conveyed
toward the sock plucker.] Pliky, plug the fig! [A sock is plucked into
the shoe.] Ooof!"
PINKY: "Are you Okkay up there, Brain? Is your plan thingy going well?"
BRAIN: "Pig the flick! I mean, flog the pl...[A sack is picked into the
sock.]
PINKY: "I suppose I should take that as a no. Narf!"
BRAIN: "[Brain pushes the sack off and climbs out of the shoe.]
Aaaaahhh! AHHHH! Not the rugger booby biggy boopers! AAAHHHHHH! [He
bounces back and forth off the bumpers, to the Parker Packard purple
pewter pressure pump] Oh, no. [Brain gets inflated, then flies across
the room, landing on...] Pebby Bagpop! OHHH!"
PINKY: "Poit! Is that Gaelic or something?
BRAIN: "Piggy Bigbop!
PINKY: "Oh! I know, it's some sort of greeting. Welll, Piggy Bigbop to
you, too."
[Peggy Babcock picks both of them up and kicks them out of the factory.]
PINKY AND BRAIN: EEEEEYOWWWWW!
PINKY: "Oh no, Brain! Troz! You forgot your pea!"
BRAIN: "Oh, never mind about that, Pinky. Ugh! We must get back to the
lab to prepare for tomorrow night."
PINKY: "Poit! What are we going to do tomorrow night, Brain? Sell
seashells at the seashore?"
BRAIN: "No, Pinky, the same thing we do every night... TRY TO WAKE OVER
THE TORLD!!"
SINGERS: "They're dinky, they're Binky and the Prain, Prain, Prain...

pretty much have to rewrite the script.
Always thinking of the foreign dubs and what might be lost in the
translation:

Yeah...and the original is a masterpiece of verbal fireworks, so I suspect
it would not translate well at all.
Reading that again, and then considering it in comparison to the current
crop of TV cartoon crap, left me sad all over again...

I'm pretty sure that it was you. I remember being surprised that
someone could actually decipher the jumble at the end. If only Deja

Well, I can't get it all... and I haven't been forutnate enough to see YSaM
yet. (So, it was fun to read! Thank you...)
But, I do have the ending on my PC, so this is what I have... and I know I'm
mising bits. :) :-

Well HA!!! It wasn't me!
No, I just commented that I wouldn't have one until at least sometime
in Y2K. By then, Jaime Weinman already jumped the gun and did it ...

How many takes did the straight tape take if the tete-a-tete traits take
tape?

Y'know, I had this weird, ever-so-vague recollection the other day of
Kane owing me something.... Why, I couldn't say. What, I couldn't
imagine. When, I couldn't expect.

>tape?
The fact is that the actors did pretty well, not requiring too many takes at
all. But Moe did have trouble with the line that outlines the entire plan
(it's a real long line with many many many tongue-twisters). He kept getting
tangled up with the sixth sitting sheet slitter bit. As I recall it was line
66 in the recording script.
We had a side bet going on in the control booth on who would actually say
something dirty during a take. John Moschitta (sp?) uttered the only obscenity
while trying to verbalize the words "cocky sock-plucker." Who'd a thunk it?
During one memorable moment, Moe was having a little bit of trouble and just
shouted "@#$$% Gordon Bressack!" He then bolted out of the booth and punched
me. I kneed him in the groin to the amusement of all and as he writhed in pain
before us, I laughed in that way I have and added more consonants to every
line. Being the good sport he is, Maurice continued to writhe on the floor
moaning about some imagined pain and we all laughed and talked about the war
and how good it was to eat soup and how we would all one day meet in Paris.
Just thought you'd like some behind-the-scenes info. TTFN
