HEY, THERE'S A RAT IN THE POOL! I'M NO RAT, I'M HIS AGENT! AND WHO WOULD BE BETTER TO PLAY THE PART OF A RED-HEADED UNDERDOG FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE THAN TV's RALPH MALPH.
I STILL GOT IT! NO, YOU DON'T.
NO! NO! NO! FOR THE LAST TIME, NO, NO, NO, NO! SO, BRAIN, AM I BEING A GOOD AGENT? ABOUT AS GOOD AS THE JAMAICAN BOBSLED TEAM, PINKY.
YOU MEAN, THEY WERE AGENTS AND OLYMPIC HOPEFULS? GRR.

BRAIN PICCADILLY! WHY, LOOK WHO'S COME TO VISIT ME.
MY GOOD FRIEND, MEADOWLARK LEMON.
THANK YOU FOR COMING, MEADOWLARK LEMON.
REMEMBER THE TIME YOU PUT MASHED POTATOES ON MY CHAIR AND I SAT IN THEM? MM-HMM.
THAT WAS FUNNY.
REMEMBER THE TIME WE WRAPPED OURSELVES IN ALUMINUM FOIL AND PRETENDED WE WERE ROBOTS? MM-HMM.
THAT WAS FUNNY, TOO.
REMEMBER THE TIME WE PUT ALL OUR CLOTHES ON BACKWARDS AND MADE PEOPLE THINK WE HAD REALLY HAIRY FACES? UM THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.
AND NOW I, BRAIN PICCADILLY, SHALL NEVER PLAY FOOTBALL AGAINNNN.
MM-HMM.
Pinky: AND BRAIN PICCADILLY NEVER PLAYED FOOTBALL, THE SPORT HE LOVED SO MUCH, AGAIN.
IT'S A SAD STORY.
SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD, SAD.
BUT IT'S A STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD BECAUSE IT'S SAD, SO SAD.
POIT.

THE END.
AND WE'RE CLEAR.
EXCELLENT, PINKY.
