Ooh! Should we do the rest

of this episode in Spanish?

No. My accent is

moo-wee terr-e-blay.

Heh. I better change it back.

[CLICK]

Somebody ate my donuts!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Maple bacon.

Tarragon fried chicken caramel.

Goat cheese and

just a soupcon of mustache cream.

Oh no.

Wakko, were these designer donuts?

Someone must've

snuck in while I was asleep

and eaten them.

DOT: Step back, boys.

This is an active crime scene.

Now, to look for forensic evidence.

Yakko, turn on the black light.

[EDM MUSIC]

Nothing unusual there.

Hm

Okay. I've isolated particulate

matter from the crime scene.

And judging from the crumb spatter,

I'd say these donuts were eaten

in the last eight to twelve hours.

WAKKO: Wait a minute!

Where were you guys last night?

- It wasn't us.

- Yeah.

We had that blind date with those bats.

[BAROQUE MUSIC]

[SCREECH]

[SHATTER]

Oh, I'm sorry.

My echolocation goes into panic mode

every time something comes towards me.

No need to apologize, sir. Some bread?

[SCREECH]

Well,

that's the strongest alibi

I've ever heard.

Consider yourselves lucky.

Because when I find

the person who did this,

I'm gonna turn their faces into

mashed potatoes with butter and gravy.

Oh, man. Mashed potatoes with gravy

was one of the donut flavors.

[CRYING]

Don't worry, Wakko. We'll find out

what happened to your donuts.

- You will?!

- We have to.

We have about eight minutes to fill.

Well, well, well.

Looks like we have a real

who-donut on our hands.

[♪♪♪]

We need to make a list of suspects!

You got a real problem. And it's me.

[GASPS] Are you suggesting

I'm being defi-ant?

Then we're heading

No, we're not!

[♪♪♪]

Look, I don't care that

your girlfriend's new nose

fell into a subway toilet.

We need that rewrite

We know you ate my donuts!

The only question is,

how high does this thing go?

[THUNDER CRACKS]

Ah!

DOT: Alright, sister!

Who runs this place? Is it a cult?

A deep state conspiracy?

A group of rogue CIA agents

turned renegade assassins?

Ugh! What?

Which part didn't you hear, hun?

Um, like, all of the part that you said?

YAKKO: You haven't noticed anyone

strange come into the shop

lately, have you?

Uh, this place sells donuts for $6

in an abandoned brass factory,

and we're only open on days it rains.

So, like, everyone who

comes in here is strange.

Uh-huh. Well, anybody come in here

trying to flip some stolen donuts?

We wouldn't buy back our own donuts.

Ew. That'd be gross.

Here's our card.

Call us if you remember anything.

While we're here, I might as well order

two dozen sawdust donuts,

and another dozen of glazed squid ink.

Whatever.

[♪♪♪]

You can charge all of that onto this.

[DOOR BELL RINGING]

I'm only accepting this because my boss

is my super supportive dad,

and I wanna make him angry! For no reason.

[♪♪♪]

He takes a maple bite,

he takes a squid ink bite!

He takes a frosted bite,

he takes all his bites--

Sugar crash positions!

[BOTH INHALE]

- Well, that didn't help him at all.

- Fine.

You be the sugar crash marshal

As you know, Pinky,

I have been planning to run for President.

But the American people don't

Despite my obvious brilliance,

there's one thing I've overlooked.

My First Lady!

Nancy Reagan's pearls,

Hillary Clinton's pantsuit,

Jackie O's hat.

Hello, world.

It's an honor to be here.

BRAIN: Wonderful.

J37, from the moment I set eyes on you,

20 minutes ago,

I wanted to edit your DNA

against your will,

and ask you one question.

Will you be my First Lady?

Yay!

[ROMANTIC MUSIC]

Hm.

Fine, but I am changing my name to Julia,

keeping my own bank account,

and I already told my parents

we'd go to their place

for Thanksgiving. [HAUGHTY CHUCKLE]

Hm. Perhaps a tad

too much Hillary Clinton.

How romantic!

Alright. Pay attention. Here is my plan.

- What's all this?

- Oh! Are you wedding planning?

Brain, I don't mean to be dramatic,

but if I'm not your best man,

it will literally k*ll me!

No, and stop interrupting me!

Oh dear. Someone's being a bridezilla.

Are you finished?

I have scientifically analyzed

the shortest and most

assured path to the Presidency.

And from there, world domination.

The first step, running for Senate.

There's a special election

this month in Iowa,

into which I will swoop and win

as a charismatic dark horse.

Now that I have Julia by my side,

all I need do is show

the average Joe that I care.

[PATRIOTIC MUSIC]

Uh. Uh. Um No.

Ugh!

[CRYING]

[BABY GURGLING HAPPILY]

[SHUTTER SNAP]

That I'm just like them.

[WHIRRING]

Ah!

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[SHUTTER SNAP]

This is it, Pinky.

In just a few moments,

I'll be announced Senator!

Well, folks,

with all districts reporting,

the winner is

Julia Brain.

[HAUGHTY LAUGH]

What?

[CHEERING]

How is this possible?!

CROWD: Julia! Julia!

Julia received 97%

of all votes cast as a write-in.

In second place,

another write-in for "Updog."

What's Updog?

CROWD: Julia! Julia!

BRAIN: I can't believe

I didn't get a single vote!

They wrote her in, and wrote me out!

Well, at least you're married

to the most popular candidate

in America.

- Wait a minute.

Pinky, that's it!

Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

I think so, Brain, but do

we really want to taste the Rockies?

There are so many moose up there.

No, Pinky. Julia should be President,

while I'm the Svengali behind the scenes.

Like d*ck Cheney, Rasputin,

or that Svengali chap

whose name eludes me.

Yes.

[CHUCKLES]

A fidget spinner factory

in America's heartland,

the perfect place to begin

your Presidential campaign.

I must say, Brain, I-I thought

you would be more upset. I

I know how much you

wanted to be President.

Not at all. As your husband,

I'm here to support you.

Here. I even took the liberty

of punching up your speech.

Thank you, Brain.

[SIGHS] I want a relationship

like you two have.

I've tried online dating,

but I keep getting cat-fished.

I mean, yes, she is gorgeous, Brain,

but how do I know she's even real?

[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

Thank you. Go, Tar Heels!

Or am I in Wolfpack territory?

[HAUGHTY LAUGH]

[APPLAUSE]

But listen, I'm not here to butter you up

with local sports references.

I think it's about time we put a mouse

in the White House!

[APPLAUSE]

My God, I got a gift.

We're going to teach children

to build bombs that crush our enemies!

We're going to teach children

W-wait, what?

Their tiny hands are the perfect size

for intricate weaponry.

Their t-t-tiny hands are perfect

Come on, come on, say it.

Perfect

[♪♪♪]

For-- for-- building a better tomorrow!

No. That's not my speech!

You know what?

I had this whole speech written,

but I think it's time I stopped

speaking from the brain,

and start speaking from the heart.

[GASPS]

My name is Julia,

and I'm asking for your vote.

[CHEERING]

Wow, Brain! It seems like

she doesn't need you at all! [GUFFAWS]

Looks like it's time for plan B.

A terrible shadow of foreboding

has fallen over the proceedings.

[♪♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

Is this Plan B?!

'Cause I love it! Whee!

It's the night of the first

Presidential debate,

and it feels like all eyes are

on the race's front runner,

Julia Brain.

[♪♪♪]

Ooh! Sorry it took so long.

The barista kept saying,

"Coffee for Pinky!"

And I was like, no, it's for Julia!

Thank you, Pinky.

Pinky, I need to have a chat with Julia.

Do your best impression of

Colony Collapse Disorder.

How do I do that, Brain?

- Bee. Gone.

- Off I go!

Brain, I don't like

the way you treat Pinky.

Ha! I give Pinky's life meaning,

like I gave your life meaning.

You've given me the power of speech,

but you'll never control me.

Oh, on the contrary. I already do.

During your procedure,

I installed an obedience chip,

just in case my machinations went awry.

You monster.

Ah, ah, ah.

Genius.

You Y-you

[ZAP]

[GRUNTING]

Genius.

Why, thank you, Julia.

Now, go on stage and join the debate.

Good evening. I'm Raquel Madcow,

live from Nashua, New Hampshire.

Please welcome

your 2020 Presidential candidates,

Governor Tanya Walsh

and Senator Julia Brain.

[ZAP]

Senator,

voters are concerned about

corruption in government.

How would your

administration address this?

Senator?

[BEEPING]

Um, yes. Um

As President, I'll send

JULIA: As President, I'll send

undesirables to the moon.

Hey, lady. I'm an undesirable,

and there's no way I'm moving to the moon!

'Cause there aren't g*ns there!

Who cares what you think? You

Well-informed voter whose opinions are

MADCOW: I'm live from the inauguration,

where Governor Walsh's

supporters have all come to see her

be sworn in as President.

Just like a man.

However, with all of DC

in attendance,

there is one notable exception.

Walsh's opponent, Julia Brain,

who has not been seen since the debates.

[TV SHUTS OFF]

BRAIN: I can't watch anymore.

This whole experience has taught me

that if you want something done right,

you must do it yourself.

Go and make me a coffee, Pinky.

Righto, Brain.

Say, do you know what happened to Julia?

[♪♪♪]

I imagine when her mind

control unit caught fire,

it took half of her

cerebral cortex with it,

leaving her no more

intelligent than a field mouse.

How unfortunate. Together,

we really could've been something.

[BEEP, WHIRRING]

Come, Pinky.

We must prepare for tomorrow night.
