[straining]
YAKKO: Gimme that!
I've got a better idea.
[gavel banging]
‐ Alrighty, listen up, folks.
Today's auction winner
will be the proud owner of unit 739,
abandoned for 20 years.
Who knows what treasures it holds?
Golf clubs? Golf balls? Golf bags?
Golf shoes? Golf tees?
A fake golf club you can pee into when
nature makes an emergency call
on the 13th hole?
[crickets chirping]
They're a real thing.
I've seen the infomercials.
Anyhoo, bidding starts at one dollar.
One dollar. Who's got one dollar?
Now, two. Now, two. Who'll give me two?
Somebody got two. Will you gimme
‐ [overly loud]:
No way we're bidding on this one, Wakko!
My sources say that this one's empty!
AUCTIONEER: Lemme hear five. Who's got
five? Make me feel alive, show me five.
‐ I'm not gonna waste my money on this
when the next unit is filled
with pirate treasure.
‐ Good‐looking unit. Hm.
Too bad it's cursed.
Whole monkey's paw situation, you know?

YAKKO:
Five dollars!
And that's my final offer.
‐ And sold to the dog‐monkeys
with the poor man's Ben Franklin.
[creak, thud]
[lights clicking]
‐ It's perrrrrfect.
[all cheering]
‐ Whoa! An ergonomic office chair!
Ah, I tell you, who needs a credit union
when I could have support like this?
‐ A mattress with a stain that
kinda looks like Vladimir Putin.

Ooh!
And here's a magic carpet! Giddy‐up!

Huh. I guess it's broken. Oh well.
But will it blend?
[whirring]
‐ Wait! That's not just any old rug!
‐ Why, thank you!
I just found it in the corner.
[screaming]
‐ That's the Bayeux Tapestry!
[possum squeaking]
‐ Bayeux?
‐ Gesundheit.
‐ Thanks.
‐ Woohoo!
[zap]
‐ After you.
‐ Oh no. I just ate.
I should really wait 30 minutes
before jumping into a magical carpet land.
[grunts]
[zap]
I feel different, do you?
‐ Yeah! We've always been
a little two‐dimensional,
but this is ridiculous.

YAKKO:
Hey guys! Over here!
See? This tapestry tells the story
of William the Conqueror,
the first Norman King of England.
dramatic music ♪
‐ Oh god.
‐ Well, the Normans conquered
England in the year 1066 ♪
Back when dentists weren't a thing
and everyone had fleas and ticks ♪
To commemorate the battle
and their courage in the fight ♪
The Normans made
the Bayeux Tapestry whose tale ♪
I'll now recite ♪
Oh King Edward, he was this guy!
He was ruler, king, and tsar ♪
But the apples from his family
tree had fallen pretty far ♪
When he passed away,
those leeches didn't even wait a day ♪
They all went in for the scepter
like a Vegas night buffet ♪
This guy Harold, Earl of Sussex,
who was rocking this goatee ♪
Put his hand up high and swore,
"Edward gave England to me" ♪
So he had the archebishop
go ahead and crown him king ♪
But our hero said no thanks
to kissing Harold's stupid ring ♪
William of Normandy on France's shore ♪
Duke since the age of 12
and hungry for me ♪
He made a claim upon the throne,
flakier than a croissant ♪
So his name would live forever
in this fun and nifty font ♪
Now, with Harold the Usurper,
Will was wondering how to cope ♪
Then he noticed Halley's Comet
and thought, "That looks pretty dope! ♪
"It's the universe commanding me
to make all England mine ♪
So, I'll bring some boats and horses
and a jug or two of wine" ♪
Good old Willy had an army,
was at least 10,000 strong ♪
They marched every day in chain mail,
more annoying than a thong ♪
Yes, their thighs were really chafing ♪
And their helmets far too tight,
maybe that's why after Hastings ♪
They torched everything in sight ♪
In the middle of the battle,
things were going down the drain ♪
'Cause the Normans heard a nasty rumor
that their duke was slain ♪
So then, Willy took his helmet off ♪
To show he was alive ♪
And the rest is TLDR ♪
But the gist is Harold died ♪
‐ Oh, that's sad.
‐ William the Conqueror,
he stole our hearts ♪
Burned down our houses
and our horses and our carts ♪
With his brothers, Bob and Odo,
he had sailed across the sea ♪
Sure, he killed a lot of people,
but that's ancient history ♪
William the Conqueror,
he was so neat ♪
When enemies mocked him,
he cut off their feet ♪
He's probably getting tortured
down in Hades by some ghoul ♪
But he's related to Elizabeth,
that's why we think he's cool ♪
‐ Now, that's a crash course
in the Tapestry ♪
You'll never learn in school! ♪
[screaming, grunt]
‐ Hey! I was gonna eat that!
[snarling]
‐ Git, you varmint!
[squeak]
‐ Okay, I'm convinced.
The Tapestry goes in the "keep" pile.
‐ Well, what are we gonna
do with the rest of this junk?

YAKKO: Hm
Man, I can't believe the pawn shop gave us
a whole five dollars!
What should we do? See a movie?
‐ Go to the gas station and fill
our pants with Freezyshakes?
‐ Let's rip‐‐

Why does this keep happening to us?

‐ Hold on, let me get him for you.
Brain! Phone!
Brain?
Br‐ain!
[feedback squeals]
Sorry, I don't have him.
Might I take a message?
‐ No, this is Brain, you fool!
Now, listen and listen closely.
I was on my way to purchase
an extremely rare Strontium isotope
to power my latest invention,
a quantum continuance disruptor,
when the unthinkable happened.
[grunts]
[heavy breathing]
[heavy breathing]
[Brain grunts]

I handed the man my bag,
which I believed to contain
$100,000,
but instead, it contained
age‐delaying moisturizer.
[sniffing]
The goons thought I was trying
to pull a fast one on them.
[grunts]
So, they've taken me
hostage in retaliation.
‐ Oh dear. Well, it sounds like
we both had busy days, Brain.
I took a Buzzfeed quiz. But, I failed.
‐ Cease, Pinky!
You have one hour to bring $100,000
to 833 Brockton Street, or else

[hissing]
[gulps]
[snarls]
[Brain screaming over phone]
‐ Oh no! Brain's in trouble!
I need to come up with
a plan to make a lot of money!
Pinky, are you pondering
what I'm pondering?
Oh, well that's not what I was pondering,
but that's a better idea.
Let's do that. Narf!
Oh dear. Did Brain say
60 minutes or one hour?
Oh, if only Brain invented a device,
so I could keep track of time!

Now, to save Brain!

‐ Ow.
‐ Holy smokes! I saw the whole thing!
Luckily, I'm a lawyer, and I can get you
a million dollar settlement for this.
No questions asked.
‐ A million dollars!?
I need $100,000!

‐ Hey, where's that delivery guy at?
‐ What do I look like, a psycho?
‐ You mean "psychic".
‐ Take a few night classes,
and all of a sudden,
you're Michelangelo da Vinci? Please.
‐ Great. I'm stuck listening
to these buffoons
all thanks to that senile centenarian.
She's probably halfway
to Boca Raton by now.
No! Oh!

Hurry, Pinky. My fate rests in your hands.

I've read about the health benefits
of intermittent fasting.
[hissing, snarls]
Okay, okay, not for you.
Uh, perhaps veganism is more your speed?
Come on, Pinky.
You've been a bumbling dolt all your life,
but perhaps today is the day
you prove me wrong.
‐ I did it. I can't believe I did it!
Lemonade!
‐ [panting] $100,000?
Seems a bit steep, but
I don't care. I'm so thirsty,
I'd pay anything for a cup.
‐ Cups! I forgot cups!
[beep]

[laughs]
[door buzz]
‐ Pinky! You made it!
[panting]
Pay the men. They'll give us the isotope,
and we can finish building
my quantum continuance disruptor.
‐ Um, the thing is
I didn't get the money.
‐ What?
‐ But I tried real hard!
You see, Brain is
my bestest and only friend
in the whole wide world and
‐ Yeah. I know how you feel.
‐ Yeah. We're best friends, too.

I'm trying to save my friend

Good luck with yours!

Can't let it slip through my hands again,

but we have grapefruit juice if‐‐

Hey, pal, got a minute?
You seem trustworthy. Mind watching
my truck while I go grab a drink?

Now, if you will hand over the isotope

Pinky! You made it! With the money!
I‐I can't believe it.
‐ Egad, I I did? [panting]
I did! Yay!
Oh, Brain! You're gonna be okay.
I'm so happy!
‐ Yes, Pinky, well done.
Now, where were we? Ah yes.
You were just about to
hand over the isotope.
‐ Not. So. Fast.
Your friend just destroyed our hideout.
Now, we gotta find a new one.
It's gonna be a whole thing.
‐ Yeah. We were rent‐controlled!
We're keeping all the money,
and you get nothing.
‐ What?
You can't do that!

‐ I guess they can do that, Brain.
‐ I suppose I should scold
you for ruining the deal,
but you were on time with the money.
‐ That's right, Brain. I was on time
every time I came to save you.
‐ On time every time?
‐ Exactly!
All thanks to this shiny watch.
[fizzling, clang]
Uh oh.
‐ Pinky, that watch is my
quantum continuance disruptor!
It disrupts the very fabric of time!
You must've set it for an hour,
and that's why time kept resetting
when you were in range of the isotope.
How many times have you relived this hour?
‐ Hm

One or two. Zort!
‐ Pinky, I know you're lying
whenever you say "zort".
‐ That's not true, Brain. Zort!
‐ Come, Pinky. We must go back to the lab
and plan for tomorrow night.
‐ Why, Brain? What are we
gonna do tomorrow night?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.

bedtime symposiums.
In this era of lies,
we must remember there are
no two versions of the truth, ja?
And the truth wait a minute.
Is this a new bed?

what you're talking about.
We've always had this bed.
