Oh, what a beautiful day!
Don't you agree, Mr. Rabbit?
Aw, definitely, Pops!
Enjoy your walk!
[ Humming ]
[ Gasps ]
Huh?
[ Pitter! Patter! Pitter! ]
What? [ Whimpers ] Aah!
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Warble! ]
Oh!
[ Thunder crashes ]
Excuse me, but do you have a minute
to fill out this form with your name and address?
[ Screams ]
[ Both gasp ]
Not again! [ Grunts ]
Pops! Wake up!
[ Gasps ]
What's going on?
You were levitating stuff in your sleep.
I was?
Yeah, like that time in the observatory?
**
Oh, my, I don't remember doing that at all.
Well, what do you remember about your dream?
I was an awful nightmare.
There was this wretched creature.
He wanted to know where I live.
Oh, it was terrible.
I can't have that dream again!
Don't worry, Pops.
We'll make sure you don't have any more nightmares.
What are we doing back at the dome?
We got two words for you, Pops -- car-toons.
Ooh, I like this idea.
Yeah, we're gonna watch this old cartoon --
"Funky Wunky and the Groovy Gang."
The only nightmares you might get is from the bad animation.
**
We did it, groovies!
We found out that the ghost of Blumont Cove is...
[ All gasp ]
All: Ole' crotchety Elmer, the Lighthouse Keeper!
That's right! There's gold in these waters,
and I would've made millions if it weren't for you groovy kids!
It's "roovy rang!"
All: Oh, Wunky!
[ Laughter ]
And, like, we couldn't have done it
without the help of the '76 starting lineup
of the Oklahoma Mud Pigeons.
Don't mention it, Alfie. Hey, Wunky, go long!
Ri got it! [ Bonk! ]
All: Oh, Wunky! [ Laughter ]
[ Laughs ] That was delightful.
I don't think the animation's bad at all.
Now let's get you to bed.
Oh, Wunky.
[ Sighs ]
**
Hmm? What's this?
Don't you remember, Chad?
We just found out that the ghost of Blumont Cove
is ole' crotchety Elmer.
That's right,
and I would've made millions if you groovy kids
would fill out these forms with your address.
Wait a minute.
Form? Address?
You're not ole' crotchety Elmer!
[ All gasp ]
You know, you're really not making this easy for me.
Come on, man! Just tell me where you live!
No!
[ Gasps ]
[ All grunt ]
[ Sighs ] Not again.
Benson's turn.
Do you know who helps to keep me safe in my dreams?
Who?
Dr. Sweet dreams.
* My name is Dr. Sweet Dreams
* And sleep is my expertise
* No one is immune
* To my sweet tunes
* Not your sister
* Not your pets
* Little babies
* I'll cure your sleep apnea
* Your insomnia
* And even your nightmares
* You'll sleep peacefully tonight *
* To the sound of my sweet pipes *
* Buy my tape, don't delay
Okay, just let Dr. Sweet Dreams do all the work.
Shh.
Oh, thank --
[ Snores ]
**
Oh, this is fun.
You're the man from the tape.
* That's right
* It's me
Are you going to protect me from that terrible nightmare man?
Oh, yeah!
Thank you.
* No need to thank me
* It's just part of my job
Yeah!
* So, um, like, are you on earth *
* Or somewhere else, maybe?
That's an odd question.
* I'm just trying to make small talk *
Oh.
* So, that was a "no" to Earth? *
Wait a minute, Dr. Sweet Dreams
would never ask me a question like that.
I don't want to talk to you anymore.
[ Grumbles ]
I've tried to play nice,
but you're gonna tell me where you live now!
No!
[ All grunt, groan ]
Got to think ahead, guys! Got to think ahead.
[ Sighs ] I don't know how to stop your nightmares, Pops.
Yeah, we tried two whole things.
I'm so sorry you all got wrapped up in this.
[ Sighs ]
Whoa! You guys are looking rough.
What's going on?
It's these terrible nightmares I'm having.
This creature keeps coming to me in my dreams
and demanding to know where I live.
Hmm. Sounds like a nightmare alien.
A nightmare alien?
Yeah! A nightmare alien!
A nightmare alien?!
Yep! That's what it is, a nightmare alien.
What is a nightmare alien?
It's a being that can invade your mind while you sleep.
The only way I know to get rid of a nightmare alien
is to face it head on in a dream and show it you're not afraid.
But that's the one thing I am -- afraid.
Very, very afraid.
Maybe you don't have to do this alone.
I learned a technique in the '60s
that can link subconscious minds together.
All right. Everybody sit in a circle.
Now join hands.
**
All: Ahh!
All right. Now fall asleep.
I don't mean to undermine your methods, but...
How are we supposed to fall asleep like this?
Here, drink this. It's chamomile tea.
It'll put you right out.
[ Slurps ] Seriously Skips, hot leaf water?
That's all you got?
[ Slurps ] Maybe we could try like a...
like a noise machine.
[ Slurps ] Or some...
[ Yawns ]
orchestral music.
What was that, guys?
You'll have to speak up.
[ All snoring ]
That's what I thought.
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Laughs ]
No! Skips: Leave him alone!
Yeah, stop giving him nightmares.
Aah!
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Whimpers ]
Whoa! Yah! Aah!
[ Zap! ]
[ Grunts ] Huh?
What's going on in there?
They're fighting a nightmare alien.
Oh, yeah, been there, man.
[ Both yelling ]
[ Both grunt ] [ Zap! ]
[ Yells ]
Hyah! [ Zap! ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Whimpering ]
Ohh! Skips!
Can you send us back to the dream world?
No can do.
We're all out of chamomile.
Pops, I didn't want it to come to this.
But now you're going to tell me where you live.
No.
Don't listen to him, Pops! I can take him.
Ack! Aah!
Rigby!
[ Grunts ] [ Zap! ]
[ Gasps ]
-Did you save him? -No!
All right, everybody, we've got to wake him up.
[ All clamoring ]
-Come on! -Wake up!
Mordecai: Wake up, Pops! Come on, you got to wake up!
[ Clamoring continues ]
Hear that? They're trying to wake you up.
Maybe you should just tell me where you are
so I don't have to come back here next time you fall asleep.
[ Laughs ]
[ Warble! ]
Oh, no, not again! Hurry! Wake him up!
Wake up, Pops! Let's go!
Your friends aren't here anymore, Pops.
You must be pretty afraid.
Give in to you fear!
Tell me where you live!
You -- You hurt my friends.
Huh? Nobody hurts my friends!
[ Bzzt! ]
Whoa!
Aah!
[ Grunting ] Okay, that kind of hurt a little.
[ Grunts ]
Hmpf!
Aah!
Look, man, I was just doing my job.
Who hired you? You did.
What?
You want to know where I live?
The space tree.
[ Sighs, gasps ]
I'm not afraid of you anymore.
[ Shudders ]
Stay away from me and my friends!
Aah!
[ All sigh ]
Pops, did it work?
Let's just say
I put a good scare into the ole' nightmare alien.
So, yes? That's a yes, right?
Yes. All: Yes!
Now to get back to my normal dreams.
Hit it.
**
[ Yells ]
Granny's Diner -- worst service, ever!
One star. [ Laughs ]
And I didn't even eat there!
Mm, Carl, you'd better have good news.
I can't go back. He's too powerful.
Did you get his location?
Yes. He's on the space tree.
Bad show.
Bad show, indeed.
[ Laughs maniacally ]
So, in conclusion, Rawls says we're all due for some R&R,
so you guys have this afternoon off.
Awesome!
Hyuh! Hyuh!
Why are you still here?
Where else would we go?
Yeah, the coffee shop's back on Earth,
so we don't have anywhere to hang out.
Well, this is where I'm hanging out.
You guys go somewhere else.
And stay out of trouble!
I guess we have been hanging out in the barracks too much.
Yeah.
Whoa!
It's like a city in here.
Let's check this place out!
[ Bell rings ]
Whoa. Whoa.
Customers?! Aah! Aah!
Welcome to the Chow Mein and Don't Touch Anything Store.
You may either buy chow mein, or don't touch anything!
Do you have credits?
Feel free to look around and buy things with your credits.
But don't touch anything!
[ Crash! ]
Did I just hear you touch something?!
Uh, nope! Just dropping credits on the floor!
Better be credits. Customers coming in
and touching things but don't buy anything.
[ Groans ] They drop their credits on the ground,
then it's my ground, my credits.
An arcade?
**
Announcer: "Chess TV."
Dunst Opening. Knight to C3.
Not a common opening.
Oh! Aah!
Ew, a brain? Gross!
Why are you in this case?
Why am I in this cage?
Well, there I was, a poor country brain
picking up groceries for my brain family.
As I reached for the brain baby formula,
that guy jumped out of nowhere
and trapped me in this miniature steel prison!
Wow, why'd he do that? I don't know.
Probably because he just doesn't like big, floaty brains!
Well, that's not very fair. I know!
And now all I have to keep me company are my chess shows.
I just want to see my wife and kids again.
Is that so wrong?
No, it isn't. Well, tell you what.
There's a key on that wall.
You could unlock this soul-sucking enclosure,
and I could be free to travel as I please.
I don't know.
I've dealt with a lot of disembodied stuff before.
You sure you're not crazy?
I assure you, I'm not crazy.
This situation is crazy.
Now, why don't you go get that key
so I can stretch my stem a little?
Okay...
[ Laughing ] Yeah! Aah!
Fooled ya! I'm not a country brain.
I'm an evil brain, and I'm not married.
I'm not even dating anybody right now.
[ Laughs ] Yeah!
Hmm. This is actually pretty go--
Aah!
Aaaaaaah! What have you done?!
He said he wasn't crazy.
That brain led a crime wave that nearly ruined this quadrant!
You must stop him!
Well, why was he locked up in a birdcage
and not a maximum-security prison?
You ever imprisoned an evil brain before?
Uh, nope.
Well, then back off, man.
Just get him, all right?
[ Screaming ]
[ Laughs maniacally ]
[ Groans ]
[ Both panting ]
[ Panting ]
Gimme a boost! [ Grunts ]
Aah!
[ Groans ]
[ Grunts ]
Cornered, eh?
Looks like somebody isn't as smart as he thought he was.
Stay away, man.
Whoa, whoa! He's got a stick!
Where am I gonna swing this stick?
I'm unpredictable, man!
Aah! Not in the face!
Aah! [ Laughs ]
My shin!
I wasn't expecting that!
[ Laughs ]
You guys are so dumb!
That's why you'll never catch me.
[ Laughs ]
Ugh. Why is everything in space so gross?
Come on, dude.
[ Indistinct talking ]
He's got to be here somewhere.
There he is!
[ Laughs ]
So long, flesh bags!
[ Panting ] Always one step ahead.
How are we gonna catch up to him?
[ Both panting ]
[ Gasps ] I've got an idea.
[ Both panting ]
Hey. Could we --
Yeah, yeah. Come in.
You're making me miss it. Huh? Huh?
Check this guy out!
He yells at these kids every time he walks by.
Dude just doesn't get it.
[ Chuckles ]
Hey. Have you seen a crazy brain anywhere? Nah.
I mostly just watch that angry guy or one of my other shows.
Feel free to take a look.
We got that awkward first date,
that happy big-headed man who sleeps, and whatever this is.
[ Gasps ] It's the brain!
He's headed for our dome!
Good luck tall guy and short guy!
I hope you can make it back to Channel 47!
The cart! Go, go, go, go, go, go!
[ Tires squeal ]
Sorry! Official space tree business!
[ Slurps ]
What do we do, man?
We're gonna get in so much trouble.
No, dude. We'll be fine.
We'll capture this brain and fix this mess
before anyone finds out.
[ Tires squeals ]
[ Rumbling ]
What's going on?
**
Top-notch push-ups there, Cadet.
Huh?
Whose dome is that, Cadet?
Uh, the park, sir.
Code red!
[ Alarm blares ]
We got to get up there!
[ Cellphone rings ]
Dude, it's Benson! Hello?
Why is the park blasting off into space?
I know you two have something to do with this.
Oh, so because the park is missing,
we had something to do with it?
[ Cellphone rings ]
Why has your dome taken off without clearance?!
I don't know. I was just trying to eat my Tuscan chicken salad.
You don't know what's going on in your own park?
That is unacceptable! Drop and give me 50!
Mordecai and Rigby, I have footage of you driving into your dome.
Rigby set this evil brain loose from this creepy old guy,
and now it's flying the dome into space.
What?! Why am I not surprised?
Old guy.
Someone get me Keith on the line!
[ Cellphone rings ] Hello?
Why are we having another brain incident, Keith?
You said you had this under control.
It's not my fault. I put him in a birdcage.
These two guys came into my shop, all touching everything.
They released the brain.
That was a dang-good birdcage.
Your guys messed up, Benson!
Space tree protocol dictates we have to shoot rogue domes down!
All: What?! Wait.
Please, just give us a chance to catch him!
Yeah. Keith, how did you catch him?
I beat him at chess, but that was a long time ago.
He's too good now. You cannot beat him.
Colonel, I have a plan.
Can you give us more time?
You have 10 minutes before the dome's getting blasted.
[ Cellphone beeps ] What's your plan?
I'm gonna need a chess board and a big salad.
I'm hungry.
Hey, Brain.
Wait, wait, wait! Stop! Don't shoot!
If you shoot us with that gun, everyone will know
you couldn't outsmart us with your wits.
Ha! Beating you with my wits would be 1 million times easier
than pulling this trigger.
What do you propose?
How about a game of chess?
Chess? Chess? [ Laughs ]
You've got no chance.
If you're so sure, then let's play.
Winner gets the dome, loser leaves the dome.
And get sucked into the vacuum of space?
Uh, yeah, I guess so.
Then I accept. Let's play.
Did you know there are only 20 possible first moves in chess?
Pretty crazy, huh?
I choose pawn to E4.
Are you ready for the fast-paced actin of a king pawn opening?
What will you choose?
That one? Ha!
Ahh. Pawn to E5.
Pathetic.
[ Alarm blaring ]
Prepare to light this dome up.
Arming the park-seeking missiles.
Evil Brain: Did you know that your skin is your largest organ?
Mine's my brain.
Your epidermis, or as I like to call it,
your epi-dumbness, it won't help you in chess.
Queen to H5.
Horse to this square.
You calling it a horse makes me want to vomit.
[ Groans ] Huh? [ Cellphone rings ]
Sir, we're getting out of weapons range. What do we do?
[ Sighs ] Then we have no choice.
Fire.
Bishop to C4.
You're probably asking yourself, "What is a bishop?"
Pleas tell me, because I'm so ignorant.
Or perhaps you're thinking... [ Imitates wind blowing ]
Because your brain is so small that the only thing
it could think of is the sound of a small breeze.
Are you ready for me to blow your mind?
Queen takes F7.
[ Alarm continues ]
**
Checkmate!
[ Laughs ]
Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!
I can't believe you fell for Scholars Mate.
It's the oldest trick in the book!
[ Laughs ] Huh?
Hey! What? Got him!
Rawls, we got him!
[ Laughs ]
Mordecai and Rigby, you ignorant geniuses!
Hoo-ahh!
[ Both sigh ] Aah!
Let me out of here!
Ew! So gross!
Pass me the chess board.
[ Groans ]
Stop. Let me go.
Wait! Stop!
No!
You haven't seen the last of me!
I'll get you for this, Mordecai and Rigby!
I really feel like getting chow mein.
