Pinky: Isn't life wonderful, Brain? Just think, we started out as lab mice forced to spend the whole day working our way through frustrating mazes that went absolutely nowhere. Now we get to do what humans do! [camera zooms out to reveal the line they're standing in is frustratingly long]
Brain: Hey, where's Elmyra?
Pinky: Oh no, she's lost! We might never see her again!

Pinky: What a lovely name! Do you think it would suit me?
Brain: Personally, I think "Dolt" would be more appropriate.
Brain: Pinky, after I switch the tapes, I'll met you near Chad.
Pinky: I'd like to meet Chad!
Brain: Chad is not a person!
Pinky: That ride's even better now that Baloney's singing.
Elmyra: You know, I heard Baloney singing, but I didn't see him anywhere.
Pinky: Maybe he's talking to Chad.
Brain: Come, Pinky. We must leave this horrid place and prepare for tomorrow.
Pinky: Why, Brain? What are we going to do tomorrow? ...I know! Tomorrow we'll get the right tape and come back to Duckyland!
Brain: Oh no. Even the world isn't worth that. Nothing is going to get me to come back to this... to this Hieronymus Bosch-inspired nightmare world.
Brain: Oh, look, it's time for a visit with Mr. Loyal Subject. [puts on puppet and has it say:] Hello, Your Highness. Hail you! [as himself] Hello, Mr. Loyal Subject. What's the secret word for today? [as Mr. Loyal Subject] The secret word for today is "Brain"! [as himself] Golly, that's me! [as Mr. Loyal Subject] That's right; it's important that our viewers must learn to bow before the Brain! [lights flash and Brain addresses the puppet] Hey, you said the secret word! You win!
Pinky: Knock knock!
Brain: My goodness, someone's at the door. Who could it be?
Pinky: It's me, Pinky the Unstinky! Shut yer face! Shut yer face!
Brain: Hello, Pinky the Unstinky.
Pinky: Hello, Mr. Loyal Subject! Hello, Brain! [lights flash]
Brain: You said the secret word!
Pinky: I did? Um... what's the secret word, Brain? [lights flash]
Brain: You said the secret word again!
Pinky: Really? I've never won anything before. What do I win, Brain? [lights flash] Oh, this is so exciting!
Brain: OK, that's enough.
Pinky: Enough of what, Brain? [lights flash]
Brain: Stop saying the secret word!
Pinky: What's the secret word, Brain? [lights flash]
Brain: Errrrgh! Stop saying "Brain"! [lights flash]
Pinky: Ah! You won, Brain! [lights flash]
Brain: Stop it, stop it, stop it!
Pinky: Stop what, Brain? [lights flash]
Brain: Okay, that's it! The secret word is not "Brain"!
Pinky: Wuhahaha! Shut yer face! Shut yer face, Brain! [continues to repeat "Brain", with the lights flashing each time, until Brain hits him on the head with his sceptre)
Brain: The new new secret word is "pain".
Brain: Our ratings are in the toilet.
Pinky: Oh, I'll get them.
Zipp Twyman: I've never seen such high numbers! Your ratings have gone through the roof since you added Elmyra to the show!
Brain: How ironic.
Brain: And each year, in a misbegotten melange of civic pride and corporate boosterism, they [the Gristle Meat Company] throw a huge televised parade down the main street of town, the Meat Parade. And one lucky little girl is chosen to lead that parade on television before millions of people. Do you know who that lucky little girl is this year, Pinky?
Pinky: Someone named Meat? [laughs] Meat!
Brain: Meat my fist, Pinky.
Brain: [as Elmyra's cousin, "Patty Ann"] Why, uh, hello, cousin Elmyra! I've missed you so.
Elmyra: Don't you be all smarty-clown-nosey with me! You just came here to make time with my man!
Brain: I wouldn't give two hoots for that walking cyst you call a "man".
[Elmyra is hosting a pretend talk show.]
Brain: That song was the most banal self-serving ditty I've ever heard. Elmyra might have a future in show business.
Pinky: Um, Brain, speaking of show-biz, I am a guest today on Elmyra's Funtime Show. I'll be promoting my latest movie, The Great Pinky Adventure!
Brain: An interesting title. Too bad Dumb and Dumber was already taken.
Elmyra: And didn't you just make a fun movie-woovie?
Pinky: Why, yes I did! It's called The Great Pinky Adventure, starring me! Perhaps you could run a clip and I'll explain what all about it.
Elmyra: (pantomiming with a paper drawing) "Look out! I'm falling from a plane! What will happen to me?" "My name is Pinky Bignose. (crumples up the paper) This is scary! Narf! Zort!"
Pinky: Um, excuse me, Elmyra, but that's not at all what The Great Pinky Adventure is about. And since it is my movie, I should make the sounds for it, y'see?
Elmyra: It's MY show, Pinkly-winkly! [raspberry]
Pinky: Yes, but it's my movie.
Elmyra: Elmyra's Funtime Show is MY show, and I get to be in charge all the time!
Pinky: Well! I shall tell all my celebrity friends not to be on your program, and to go to a nice party instead!
Brain: Pinky? What are you doing? You're supposed to be with Elmyra!
Pinky: In all my years in the movie business, I have never been treated so shabbily! I tell you, Brain, that show has gone to Elmyra's head! Give someone a little power, and they turn on you like a rogue duck! Zort!
Brain: A rogue duck? Pinky, Elmyra has a pretend show. It's all inside her drum-like head.
Pinky: Honestly, Brain, if you're going to make excuses for her unprofessional behavior, [stammers] ...I just don't care to listen!
Pinky: Brain, do you think we learned an important lesson about relations and being popular and peer pressure?
Brain: No, I don't think we did.
Pinky: Whew! That's a relief.
Rudy: Oh, it's you. Hey, wanna go push that Humpty Dumpty guy off his wall?
Mrs. Antebbe: Well, party crashers! That does it. Everybody, it's time to go wee-wee-wee all the way home.
Pinky: Narf! That sounds unsanitary, Cranky Mouseykin.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one. If Fred Flintstone knew the giant order of ribs was going to tip over his car, why did he order them every week?
[Later]
Brain: It was an end title.
Pinky: What?
Brain: Fred Flintstone doesn't order ribs every week. That was only animated once, then music and voice tracks were added. The footage is run at the end of the show in the same spot everytime. It's called an end title.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one. How come Elton John gets older and older but his hair gets younger and younger?
[Later]
Brain: It might be a weave.
Pinky: What?
Brain: Elton John's Hair, I think it might be a weave.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one, Brain. How do they get the snow to fall when you shake up those little souvenir globes?
[Later]
Brain: Particles of a white material with a slight negative buoyance relative to to the water in which they are suspended.
Pinky: How's that?
Brain: Those souvenir globes, thats how they get the snow to fall in them.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one. On Sabrina the Teenage Witch, her pet cat looks so real, how do they make it talk?
[Later]
Brain: It's a puppet.
Pinky: What?
Brain: The cat on Sabrina the Teenage Witch; it's a puppet. That's how they make it talk.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Just one, do you have to wear a Fez at a turkish bath?
[Later]
Brain: You don't have to wear a Fez at a turkish bath.
Pinky: How's that?
Brain: A turkish bath is nothing more then a personal hygiene method using steam. Steam is released into a small room inducing perspiration that cleans the pores, it has nothing to do with hats.
Brain: Any questions?
Pinky: Yes, do you know the way to San Jose?
[Later]
Brain: Make a right at Oxnard.
Pinky: Come again?
Brain: It's the way to San Jose. You get to Oxnard and make a right.
Rudy: What are you making? Some kind of cheese ray?
Elmyra: Romeo Rudy, oh so cutie, your Juliet is here, baby!
Brain: Ah, our first caller! Hello, you're on Brain's World.
Pinky: Hi. This is famous TV star, eh... Byron Allen! I watch you all the time.
Brain: You have any questions?
Pinky: Just one. Who's Byron Allen?
[Later]
Brain: He was on Real People.
Pinky: Huh?
Brain: Byron Allen. he was the co-host of Real People, a pioneering infotainment show of the early 80s.
Pinky: Ohhh, that explains it then.
Brain: [regarding Rudy's room] What a landfill! There are probably germs in here the size of a nickel.
Pinky: Egad! That cat hates us meeces to pieces! Doesn't he, Mr. Pixie?
Brain: Stop calling me Mr. Pixie! This isn't funny, it's sick!
Brain: And do you know why [everyone in Fairyland has problems]?
Pinky: Um... is it because you're telling this story and you have a very pessimistic view of life?
[edit]From comic book stories
Brain: [Referring to Pinky’s comic book] Pinky, who would want to read about two lab mice trying to take over the world? Who would want to read about my failures?
Pinky: Oh, believe me, Brain, to a human, our nightly exploits would be a humorous diversion that would magically transmute the dreary workaday world into a fanciful realm of zany hijinks!
Brain: It is here that my cheap workforce of trained iguanas will work night and day to make our shoes to my exacting specifications!
Pinky: But, Brain, I thought elves made shoes.
Brain: Kathie Lee Gifford hired them all, so I settled for second best.
Pinky: Feel strange... my body, growing... Argh! I'm becoming the Incredible Hu--oh, wait, no, I'm just becoming normal Pinky again. Zort!
Verminator: Hear me now, and listen laater. You are maaking me very aaangry. I don't need any fancy veapons. I vill destroy you vith my bare haands.
Pinky: Oh no, Brain, what'll we do? He has a bear named Hans!
Brain: The show must go on…
Pinky: I believe it's coming down, Brain.
Brain: Another comment like that, Pinky, and I swear I'll put the alligator scene back in.
Brain: Pinky, my laughing gas is designed to make humans laugh to the point of freezing, under certain conditions. Do you know what those conditions are, Pinky?
Pinky: Ummm... Suzanne Somers must be riding a horse and singing "Don't Fence Me In"?
Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain, but this time, you put the trousers on the chimp.
Brain: [in response to the outfits Pinky has him try on; as Wilma Flintstone] Too old-fashioned. [as the Mona Lisa] How passé. [as Princess Leia] Where are we, Pinky? Outer space? [as Marge Simpson] D'oh!
Brain: I'll chase [Snowball] 'round Cape Hope, and 'round the Horn, and 'round the Norway Maelstrom, and 'round Perdition's Flames before I give up!
Pinky: Just don't forget to turn left at Albuquerque, Brain! Poit!
Pinky: But Brain, why the toga? No one's worn those in years. Except for that one really strange man in Lancaster-Shire.

Brain: Rise and shine, people of Earth. I am your new sun.
Pinky: Brain, what are you doing up there?
Brain: If I can't take over the world, I shall shine over it! Everyone will have to look up to me, the Brain.
Pinky: Are you sure you're not up there to visually illustrate that on weekends, we're on first thing as well as our regular time?
Brain: Pinky, if I had arms, and wasn't a ball of glowing hydrogen, I would hurt you.
[Crossing over with Pokémon]
Misty: Hey, what kind of Pokémon is that?
Ash: I dunno, but I'm gonna catch it!
Pinky: Brain, we're not Pokémon!
Brain: Be quiet. If we catch them all, we'll be able to rule the world! Bring it on!
Ash: I choose you! Charmeleon!
Brain: Yaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! [is tail-whipped by Charmeleon] Aaaaah!
Announcer: Discover all-new Pokémon!...
Brain: [gets roasted by Charmeleon] Gotta catch 'em all...
Announcer: ...and Pinky and the Brain! This weekend on Kids' WB!
Brain: Pinky, if I can teach you that Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs come on weekday mornings, Kids' WB! will pay me big money, and then...
Pinky: We can buy a puppy!
Brain: No, I use that money to take over the world! Say it with me: Tiny Toons.
Pinky: Tiny Toons...
Brain: Yes, that's right. Then?
Pinky: Then, we, uh... buy a puppy!
Voice: And now it's time for Cartoon Secrets Revealed.
Pinky: I'm not really that stupid. I purposely sabotage Brain's plans, because if he ever succeeded, the show would be over, wouldn't it?
Voice: That's rather smart.
Pinky:

Yes, I thought so.
Brain: Who are you talking to?
Pinky: No one.
Brain: Thanks for agreeing to meet with me; I really feel you're the only one who can help. You see, after five years of unsuccessful attempts at world domination, I finally figured out where I was going wrong.
Pinky: Brain! Time to walk the sponge again!
Brain: In short, I need a new partner, one whose might is equal to my intellect. In return, I'm willing to let you have all of northern Europe.
Superman: You're kidding, right?
[Later]
Pinky: He turned you down, didn't he?
Brain: Who asked you?!
Brain: I need help from you viewers. Pinky and I are being held hostage by some horrible little girl whose name escapes me right now.
Elmyra: [pounds Brain on the head repeatedly] E-L-M-Y-R-A! I'm Elmyra, silly cranky big-head mousie!
Pinky: Hey Brain, is that what they call pounding it into your head?

Brain: Be quiet Pinky, or I shall have to hurt you.
Brain: What can I do for fun, Pinky? That's it! I'll send several bills to Senate for ratification, then veto them all!
Brain: At the key moment, I will assume control of the world's loudspeakers and bombard the masses with the most annoying sound known to mankind.
Pinky: Fran Drescher's voice? Poit!
Brain: The 24-hour deadline has passed, yet there has been no message from Earth! It is most curious. Perhaps I was too lenient.
Pinky: Either that or everyone's gone back to reading books.
Brain: Pinky, remind me to hurt you later.
