PINKY: Gee, Brain, what do you wanna do tonight?

The same thing we do every night, Pinky.

Try to take over the world.

NARRATOR: The American colonies.

A land of hope and opportunity for the many who came here.

Some came For religious freedom.

Some came for adventure.

I'm hunting wedcoats. Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee.

And some came to take over the world.

At last, Pinky, a new world to conquer.

Egad, Brain!

What is it, Pinky?

I forgot to turn off the lights in the old world.

[MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]

Look, Brain. An Indian uprising.

Those aren't real Indians, Pinky.

The colonists are revolting.

Oh, I don't know, Brain.

Heh. I think those costumes are rather fetching

in a neo-primitive sort of way.

I'm going to have to hurt you

in a neo-primitive sort of way, Pinky.

MAN: We won't pay the British tax.

[ALL YELLING]

Those colonists are opposing

the tyrannical oppression of Great Britain.

They're carried away with the spirit of independence.

Narf! Don't look now, Brain,

but I think we're being carried away.

BOTH: Whoa!

Mm.

Earl Grey, Brain. My favorite.

Heh. Needs sugar.

One lump or two?

[LAUGHS]

Oh, I love that stupid joke.

[♪♪♪]

At last, Pinky, after a year of watching and waiting,

it is time to put my plan into action.

You mean we're finally going to learn to harmonize,

get a choreographer and move to Detroit?

BOTH: ♪ Ooh ♪

♪ La-la-la-la ♪

No, Pinky. I'm talking about my plan.

Narf! Oh, right.

I am finally going to ascend to my rightful position

in this budding democracy:

emperor.

Take note, Pinky.

Mr. Jefferson over there

is writing the Declaration of Independence.

All the governing principles of the new nation

are being put into that document.

Egad, Brain!

Oh. too bad it doesn't say anything

about you being the leader.

Pinky. Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, Brain. Poit.

But where do you stick the feather

and call it macaroni?

Simply in your hat.

[♪♪♪]

We shall surreptitiously replace

their Declaration of Independence with this:

The Declaration of Obedience.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident

"that a mouse named Brain shall be our leader.

"That's B-R-A-I-N.

Hurrah!"

Ooh, I love that "Hurrah" part, Brain.

Hurrah! [GIGGLES]

It's not too flowery, is it?

Oh, no. Just right.

Do you think they'll mind the part

about changing the currency to cheese balls?

Once this nation's Founding Fathers unwittingly sign it,

they'll have no choice.

Hurrah!

BRAIN: Everything is in place, Pinky.

In a few minutes, we will change the course of history.

Now, pay careful attention.

Step one:

I will climb to the shelf above the signing table.

Step two:

You launch the document,

the trajectory of which I have meticulously calculated.

Step three:

As I swing down toward the table,

I'll catch the ersatz document in midair and make the switch.

Egad, Brain, brilliant. Wait. Oh, no, no.

Won't they see what you're doing?

Not at all, Pinky.

They are all wearing those ridiculous bifocals

invented by Ben Franklin.

You can't see a thing through them.

[DOOR OPENS] [CHATTER]

My moment of destiny is at hand.

The Continental Congress delegates are arriving.

I hope this signing goes quickly, Citizen Adams.

I have to get back to

my experiments with electricity.

Oh, you and your experiments, Citizen Franklin.

Why don't you go fly a kite? Ha-ha.

Hm.

The Declaration of Independence.

Quickly, Pinky, get into position.

Oh, I love intrigue.

Hurrah!

[♪♪♪]

Pinky...now.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMS]

Huh?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

[GRUNTS]

Hm.

[GASPS]

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

BRAIN: My Declaration.

Quickly, Pinky.

We've got to get it back.

What a lovely storm!

Pinky, follow me.

BRAIN: Yes.

Once I get this Declaration signed,

I shall be a shining example of American leadership.

[SQUEALS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

Are you a leader now?

Only in the field of electrical discovery.

[YELPS]

[YELPS]

The Declaration of Independence has been signed.

[BELLS DINGING]

[♪♪♪]

What do we do now, Brain?

What?

What? What?

[♪♪♪]

Come on, Pinky. We've got to head to Europe.

I hear the French are revolting.

Narf! Well, mostly they're just rude, Brain.

What are we going to do in France?

The same thing we do everywhere, Pinky:

try to take over the world.
