Dot[playing the pipe organ, since Wakko was busy] Well, somebody had to do it.
[After the guard (Mr. Crazy Person) sets Dot free after being overwhelmed by her cuteness]
Dot[to the viewers] Don't try this at home. I'm a trained professional.
Und zo, I scheduled an appointment with The Varner Brothers. I'll never forget our first session...
[Hello Nurse leads The Warner Siblings to Dr. Scratchansniff's office while Wakko drums to her footsteps]
The Warner Brothers are here for their 3:00 appointment. You be good little boys.
Mmm. [fall their heads down]
[After Hello Nurse leaves, Yakko and Wakko's tongues pop out while they are in love]
Dot[walks over, and pulls their tongues back into their mouths like a window shade; shrugs to the camera] Boys.
[jumps into Scratchy's arms along with Wakko] How you doing, Scratchy?
I take umbrage at that.
Oh, sure. Take all the umbrage. Don't leave any for us.
No, I mean I take offence.
And you want our fence too? [pulling a wooden plank fence out of nowhere] All right, take it, but that's all. We're tapped out. [gives Dr. Scratchansniff the wooden plank fence]
[throws the wooden plank fence away] I think it's time we got down to business, ja?
[rapping] Now-our first quarter figures are really low as this-a business-a graph will hopefully show.
What are you doing?
We're getting down... to business.
[takes the stick] You always make ze jokes. Zis is not good. No more jokes, ja? [the Warner Siblings nod] Ja. Good, now, plant yourselves on ze couch there. [the Warner Siblings jump onto the couch and literally sprout up into flowers] I said, no more jokes!
This isn't a joke, it's a visual gag.
Well, no more jokes, gags, or monkey stuff.
Define monkey stuff.
Yeah, THE MONKEY STUFF! THE MONKEY STUFF! You know, you walks around like a silly monkey. [acting like a monkey] Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Und' you be all goofy like a monkey. Zat is the monkey stuff.
[The Warner Siblings look at the camera with confusion]
Maybe you should see a p-sy-chiatrist.
I am a p-sych-...uh. I mean, a psychiatrist! EUH! [while he paces back and forth, the Warner Siblings follow him, copying him, walking like Ancient Egyptians, and as a British tourist group] Ah... I know vhat you kids vant, ja! You vant to talk to Mr. Puppethead! [pulls out a hand puppet resembling him] Hello kids, I'm Mr. Puppethead! Tell me vhy you always make the jokes. [the Warners look at the puppet awkwardly] Vhy aren't you talking with Mr. Puppethead? No, no, it iz very easy. Watch me, watch me. [clears throat] Hello, Mr. Puppethead, how are you? I am fine, Dr. Scratchansniff. How are you? I am fine, Mr. Puppethead. Did you have a yummy breakfast? Oh yes, yes! Very yummy, thank you. How was your breakfast? My breakfast was yummy as vell. [to the Warner siblings] Now you see? Isn't that easy?
Uhmm...are you sure you don't want to see a p-sychiatrist?
I am a p-sychi- I mean psychiatrist! [tearing at his hair with the puppet] I AM! I AM! I AM! I AM!
Mr. Puppethead's hungry.
Dot...may I call you "Dot"?
DotYeah. But call me "Dottie" and ya die.
"Dot" is it. I'm going to show you some pictures, und I vant you to tell me what they look like. [shows Dot an inkblot] Vhat do you say to this?
DotI'd say you're not a very good artist.
I didn't draw that.
DotWell, whoever did needs to go back to school.
No, it's an inkblot.
DotI'll say.
No, no, no. It's not supposed to look like anything!
DotThen you did a very good job.
I DIDN'T DRAW IT! Doesn't it looks like a little kitty cat or a butterfly or something?
DotNo. [takes off the inkblot and changes it into a butterfly] That's a butterfly.
[The butterfly comes to life, and Dot tries to catch it with the butterfly net, but catches Scratchy's head instead, much to his annoyance]
[A shot of the skyline of Bern, Switzerland. Panning down we see houses and buildings]
[written and spoken] Bern, Switzerland, 1905, home of cheese, clocks, chocolate and neutrality... but mostly chocolate.
[The Warners from Burbank, California, wearing merit badge sashes walking]
[singing] Open your doors and buy our cookies. Yodel-idel-adel-adel-yadel-odel-eee, support the scouts, get out your wallets Yodel-idel-adel-adel-yadel-odel-eee!
[singing] Yodel-eh-hi-hu! Yodel-uh-ha-ha! Yodel-eh-hi-hee! Yodel-idel-adel-yadel-yodle-diddle-dodle-doodle doba-dee-dee! [spoken] Sorry, it's the chocolate talking.
[A Swiss Female in a red skirt and some shoes, carrying some hot chocolate in each cup]
[walking by while carrying a tray full of mugs with hot chocolate] Hot chocolate. Hot chocolate.
Helloooo Swiss nurse, miss! [starts walking towards her]
[grabs him] Oh no you don't. We've got cookies to sell. Well scouts, there it is. [the scene reveals a house with a blue door and some windows on it] The last house in the city. [they walk to the house] And we only need to sell one more box of cookies to get our merit badges.
Dot[reads the name of the mailbox] "Albert Einstein". He sounds dreamy.
[The Scene changes to a blackboard, that was filled with letters and a hand holds a piece of chalk writes on the blackboard]
If the sun is P, and gravity is H, it makes a ppphhhhh. No no no no, the theory of relativity has escaped me! Why can't I get it?! WHY?! [the Doorbell rings and he turns to the door] Oh! This better be important, I'm thinking about black holes. [the Warners are standing at his house as he opens the door]
Like blackheads? You must be a dermatologist.
I am not. I am Albert Einstein, world-famous physicist.
Oh. I've never had a cyst, but Wakko's got a wart you can look at.
[Wakko raises his hand]
[looks at it] Eww. Vat do you kids want?
You wanna buy a yummy box of kids scout cookies? [gets a green box of cookies and he hands it to Einstein]
Cookies? Vat would I do with cookies?
DotYa eat 'em, silly moustache man. Woah, dumber than advertised.
No I don't want cookies. I'm trying to unlock the mysteries of the universe! Now be good little scouts, and run away! [shuts the door]
[sits on the steps] Goodbye, merit badges.
[The spotlight shines on Dot]
DotOh, oh! My heart aches with the sorrow of a thousand scouts. No merit badge, I mourn my loss. [sobs into her hands]
[The spotlight disappears]
[claps along with Wakko] Say, those acting classes are really paying off.
DotThink so?
Don't worry siblings, we'll sell that nice man a box of cookies or die trying... or try dying, or do some tie dying! [gets a tie dye shirt, while Wakko and Dot clap]
[Back inside, Albert Einstein has a light bulb]
And now, to measure the speed of light. [turns on the lightbulb] Boy, that's quick. [gets off his chair and walks to the chalkboard and he turns it around, while the Warners are standing] OH!
Hello! [they jump out of the chalkboard and kiss Einstein]
[grossed out] Phht!
DotWell how about it, kid? Want some cookies?
No, no, no, no cookies!
How about a chia pet? [shows one from hand]
No! I- oh, look at that! [the chia pet grows] Oh it's got little fuzzy grass. Well- [realizing what he is doing] no I can't, I can't! Don't you understand?! I can't be disturbed! I'm trying to figure out an equation that explains the universe!
Shouldn't you stick to skin disorders?
I am not a dermatologist!
Alright, alright, we get the picture! If you don't want any cookies, then just leave.
I'm not going to leave, this is my house.
Alright then, you leave.
Fine. [looks at him walking out of his own house, while Wakko jumps on an X-ray and Dot watches him as he opens and slams the door. As Einstein walks outside of his house, he stops, realizing that he's been duped] Grrrrrr! [goes back inside, then kicks Yakko, Wakko and Dot out the house and shuts the door]
Now what?
Now, it's time for the hard sell.
No more disruptions. [turns to the windows and pulls the first one, then the second one, then the third one has Yakko, Wakko and Dot on it]
Hello!
Aargh! [runs to the green chair and hides] YOU!
No, this is a "ewe". [takes a female sheep called an ewe] We're just plain old us.
[about to cry] Why won't you leave me alone?
[Yakko, Wakko and Dot zip in wearing green shirts]
Boy, have we got a deal for you! For a limited time only, when you buy our cookies, we'll throw in the amazing Acme pocket-fisherman! [a comically small fisherman waves at the audience. He then hands a fishing pole, a tackle box, and a cabin shower] The pocket-fisherman comes complete with fishing pole, tackle box and potty. He may be small, but he eats.
DotBut wait, there's more. You'll also get the amazing Acme hair magnet. [Wakko carries a magnet that reads ACME, and Einstein's hair raises up. Dot has a comb and Yakko has a brush; they both have spraying cans] A unique solution to fine limp hair!
[has a camera and hides as he takes a photo] Smile! [the camera flashes and he holds the photo] You didn't smile.
[It's a picture of Albert Einstein sticks his tongue out. Now the real Albert Einstein sticks his tongue out]
To get the cookies, pocket-fisherman and hair magnet, here's how to order. [pulls the screen]
Dot[sit on a chair and breaks the 4th wall] Hi, I'm Dot, an operator here at Acme. Order now, and we'll also throw in "Unexplained Mysteries of Fudge". Call now.
[Einstein cries and pounds the table]
[wears a red shirt and some black pants, then holds a calculator; in his Scottish accent] I don't think he can take much more, captain. He's about to blow.
I guess you really don't want any cookies, huh?
How can I eat cookies when the theory of relativity has escaped me?! It's all wrong! All wrong! [erases the chalkboard and wents to his desk, while Yakko, Wakko and Dot look at Einstein as he sits on his chair] I am a failure. Einstein is a dummy. Stupid Einstein dummy-boy.
[look impressed, and huddle in a whisper] Hey, Einstein! [singing] Whenever we're feeling blue, here's what we always do. When your face is long, sing the Acme song, you'll feel so fresh and new!
[runs to the chalkboard and draws some letters; singing] There's the A that's first, there's a C that's next, there's an M you're almost done. There's the E, it's last, now spell it out: A-C-M-E, that's fun.
[spoken] Now, backwards! [singing] There's the E that's last, there's the M, it's next, There's C, you're almost done. There's the A, it's first, what's first is last. E-M-C-A, we're done.
[walks up to the chalkboard; spoken] Pretty good, Wakko, but your A always looks like a 2.
[Einstein looked impressed, his eyes are filled with orbit symbols, and he pushes Yakko, Wakko and Dot and they fall down. Einstein looks at the board, while the Warners look at him. He then writes an equal sign between the E and the M]
That's it! That's it! The theory of relativity, E equals MC squared! Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared! You kids is geniuses! E equals MC squared! [the scene changes to his house] E equals MC squared! [the scene changes to the City of Bern, Switzerland] E equals MC squared!
[On stage, A tall man probably known as the Announcer holds a medal, while Einstein wears a suit, wearing a medal]
The nobel prize in physics goes to Albert Einstein and the Warner Brothers.
[The Warners step out, wearing blue and pink suits]
DotAnd the Warner sister.
[The Announcer puts the medal onto Yakko's neck]
Hey, it's no merit badge, but it'll do.
[A Laboratory is on the city, it reads ACME LABS. A cage is sitting on a table, where Pinky and the Brain live there]
Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky... Try to take over the world!
[singing] They're Pinky and the Brain, They're Pinky and the Brain. One is a genius; the other's insane. They're laboratory mice. Their genes have been spliced. They're dinky; they're Pinky and The Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain.
[The Laboratory doors closed and we show the wide shot of ACME LABS]
[A typical "Wheel of Morality" skit; the Warners run through a park, but abruptly stop]
It's that time again.
DotTo get our rabies shot?
To make bubbles with our spit?
No. It's time to learn the day's lesson. And to find out what it is, we turn to... the Wheel of Morality! [a carnival wheel with attached printer slides into view; he spins it] Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn. Tell us the lesson that we should learn. [it stops; printer outputs a page] Moral number two. And the moral of today's story is... [reading] "If at first you don't succeed, blame it on your parents."
How deep.
I don't know about you, but I'm touched.
DotIn the head. [the sound of a whistle startles all three]
Yikes!
[they run off, chased by Ralph the Guard]
[Back at the pirate ship, Captain Mel has a harpoon and he hops]
Arggh! [Yakko, Wakko and Dot have fishing poles, throw them away and then show banner, it reads, WISH YOU WERE WERE; throws the telescope away] Rarr! [hops to his harpoon and sits on his chair then shoots the harpoon but it missed the Warners. He grabs the grip with a big, huge shark and gasps. He laughs and sends the shark back.] Phew. [turns around to see the Warner dressed up like pirates]
Arr!
Arr!
Arr!
DotArr!
[Captain Mel raises his fist and hook then hops to them]
Arr! Yarr! Arr, Arr, Arr! Yarr!
Too big.
Arr.
Better.
I'll teach you three scallawags to mess with the likes of me. [walks away, opens the door, then comes back with a treasure chest with weapons] Choose your weapon.
Okay.
[They zip and then comes back with a very big, black cannon. Captain Mel gasps and shoots him, covered with black smoke]
[dazed] How did ye do that?
Aah, you mean with the big comedy cannon? You really wanna know?
Arr.
I'll take that as a yes. [zips away and Wakko and Dot bring a chair and Captain Mel sits on it. They grab two dust Ostrich Feather Dust Cleaning Brushes to clean him. They stopped and Yakko skid and they spin. Yakko, Wakko and Dot are back to their original clothes; singing] I Am the Very Model of a Cartoon Individual. My animation's comical, unusual and whimsical. I'm quite adept at funny gags, comedic theory I have read from wicked puns and stupid jokes to anvils that drop on your head. I'm very good at fancy dances, I can even pirouette then smack the villain with a fish, I know my cartoon etiquette. I can make my face all mean and really give you quite a fright. Aah! Then make up with flowers made of real exploding dynamite. [they run down the stairs, while Captain Mel chases them] When in a jam, I just yell, "Stop!" and villains in their tracks are froze. Then I sneak up, and utter "Start!" and take their hands and honk their nose. I am quite proud to be in such a hierarchical progeny from Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird to Babs and Buster Bunny. [pulls a lever with four pictures on them. Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Babs Bunny and Buster Bunny. Daffy gets a Hammer and hits Captain Mel. He falls into the chair] To suit my mood, I can call forth a lot of different sceneries like outer space and desert scapes and Himalayan eateries from this bag here, why, I can pull most anything imaginable like office desks and lava lights and Bert who is a cannibal! [pulls Bert, a cannibal wearing a necklace and a hula skirt and some brown shoes]
[Then Bert chases Captain Mel, who flees in terror. Now the Warners are at the end of the pirate ship]
[singing] You see in matters comical, unusual and whimsical, We are the very model of cartoon individuals!
[singing] The crankiest of creatures in the whole wide world. Our next cartoon features Slappy the Squirrel!
[opens the door] Enough with the singin' already![closes the door.]
[singing] That's Slappy!
Friends, we'll paint any ceiling for just 29.95. Right! How do we do it? No overhead. In fact, when we get through, you'll have nothing overhead! And if you hire us, you'll have nothing in your head! We paint ceilings, ceilings and ONLY ceilings! We don't paint floors cuz they're beneath us.
[angrily standing, boiling, covered in red paint] Who are you?! What are you doing here?!
We heard you had a ceiling that needs painting.
DotNice bungalow. This your place?
You fools, I'm the great Michelangelo! And this is the Sistine chapel!
Oh, yeah? If you're so great, what did you do with the other fifteen chapels, huh? Gotcha there.
Out! Out! HOW DARE YOU! [prepares to throw The Warner Siblings out, but he gets thrown out himself, confused] Huh?
Well, that takes care of the competition.
DotGentlemen, start your rollers!
[Yakko and Wakko get white paint]
You know, a little touch-up will do wonders for this place.
Let me in! Let me in!
[dressed up as the Guardian of the Gates] Nobody gets in to see the Wizard. Not nobody. Not nohow.
But I'm Michaelangelo.
[gasps] The Witch's Michaelangelo? Well. Now, that's a ceiling of a different color.
[gasps] Argh! What have you done to my beautiful ceiling?!
[Shows white ceiling]
Ya like it? I gotta tell ya, we had a heck of a time covering up those naked people.
You FOOLS! You've ruined it! It's supposed to have pictures!
Pictures? He wants pictures!
Hey, don't worry Mike, our mistake. [whispering] This hasn't happened to us since that Venus de Milo arms fiasco.
DotSay, why don't you go paint that Moaning Lisa, Leonardo?
That's Da Vinci!
DotThat's delightful!
That's de-lovely, but, we got a ceiling to paint.
Wha-but-
Dot[giving Michelangelo wallpapers and two books] Here. Just pick out a wallpaper pattern and relax. We'll take care of everything.
[wearing toilet plungers on his feet] Yeah, when it comes to ceilings, we're the tops!
[giving Michelangelo wallpapers and a refrigerator] Oh, and while you're at it, pick out the linoleum, why don't-cha?
Dot[giving Michelangelo wallpapers and a fish bowl with a goldfish in it] And don't forget your upholstery and your bathroom fixtures.
Oh, thank you.
Now, don't you worry your pretty, little head. By the way, nice toga.
[looking at wallpaper designs] Let me see now, this lovely floral pattern might be just- [realizing that he's been tricked, knocking the stack of wallpapers, books, and objects down] HEY, wait a minute! I'll teach those idiots to fool with the great Michelangelo! [hits the cylinder, making the statue of Moses, and slams the door open] No. No! NO! [sees a bullfighter, A Waterloo by C.M. Coolidge, big-eyed children by Margaret Keane, and Elvis Presley; cries] I'm ruined! RUINED!
DotI knew it. He prefers the young Elvis.
It is supposed to look like THIS! [shows them The Sistine Chapel Ceiling paper]
DotOh! More naked people!
I wouldn't go flashing that around if I were you, Mike. [whispering] This is a church. [takes the paper, scrunches it up, and throws it away]
But His Eminence is coming tonight and I MUST be finished! Please, you gotta help me! [cries]
Wait a minute, you expect us poor innocent children to climb up dangerous scaffolding and paint naked people all over a church?
We'll do it!
[speaking at a podium as Wakko and Dot play "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" on kazoos] But we're not doing it for the sake of art. And we're not doing it for the sake of money. No, we're doing it because, we like painting naked people.
[Yakko sprays white paint on the ceiling. Wakko sharpens a pencil, and paints outline on tightrope extremely quickly. Dot writes numbers on the ceiling. Michelangelo paints the ceiling using a trampoline]
