Animaniacs, Season 1

[The cartoon opens up on an aerial shot of The Warner Brothers Studio as upbeat music plays throughout the background. Cut to Warner Brothers Studios building. Inside, a woman passes by a portrait of Thaddeus Plotz. Camera pans right to his office]

Unknown man:
[to two other unknown men] He's a chicken, I tell ya. A giant chicken!

[Fade to inside of office]

Thaddeus Plotz:
Dr. Scratchansniff, do you know what keeps this studio running?

Dr. Scratchansniff:
Err, your brilliant leadership, T.P.?

Thaddeus Plotz:
I mean besides that. What keeps this place going?

Dr. Scratchansniff:
Mmm... Mel Gibson movies?

Thaddeus Plotz:
YES! That's it, sniff. And how do we pay for those movies? With money! money. And we need more. With that in mind, I've invited some powerful foreign investors to come here tomorrow. They'll prepare to give us 1 billion of it. Billion of it. 1 billion. 1 billion dollars! Do you know what that means?

Dr. Scratchansniff:
Ja, that's a one with lots und lots of zeros after it.

Thaddeus Plotz:
No! It means tomorrow is the most important day in the studio's history! I'm throwing a gala banquet on sound stage 10. Now, every star in Hollywood will be there. Investors will get the royal treatment, and we'll get the check, IF, it goes smoothly. There's just one catch. Before they invest, they wanna meet every one who works here. Including you.

Dr. Scratchansniff:
Ooh, that's nice. I like to party.

Thaddeus Plotz:
And including, the Warner Brothers.

[The Warner Siblings are running around outside]

Yakko and Wakko:
Hi, T.P.!

Dot:
And the Warner Sister.

Dr. Scratchansniff:
No, T.P.! Don't let the investors meet The Warners! They're out of control. They're koo-koo! They're-

Thaddeus Plotz:
Your responsibility. You're the studio psychiatrist. You have 24 hours, Scratchensniff, to teach them some manners. I can't have those-those-What are they?

Dr. Scratchansniff:
I don't know.

Thaddeus Plotz:
Well, I can't have them ruining this banquet! Understand?

Dr. Scratchansniff:
Alright, I'll try.

Thaddeus Plotz:
Trying is not good enough, Scratchensniff. [shouting loudly, blowing Dr. Scratchensniff away] DO IT!!!

Dr. Scratchansniff:
[bouncing out of the building] Uh! Eh! Pleugh! [falls down, and rests his elbow on the concrete, irate] Rggrgh!
