Long, long ago...
**[01:38] Narrator**
In a "long, long ago" recent enough that
it could very well seem like tomorrow...
**[01:43] Narrator**
A girl came from a dreamland
far beneath the ocean.
**[01:48] Narrator**
Her goal was supposed to be
to restore the lost dreams
**[01:53] Narrator**
to the people of the surface...
**[01:56] Narrator**
But would it work out?
**[01:59] Narrator**
Oh, right! And her name was Minky Momo!
***SIGN*** Let's Be Geniuses!
**[02:07] Momo**
"Let's Be Geniuses!"
**[02:13] Mama**
Come on in!
**[02:15] Both**
Welcome!
**[02:20] Woman**
I'm sorry to drop in on you like this, but...
**[02:24] Woman**
I finally found it! I've been
longing to meet you, great scholar!
**[02:27] Mama**
Scholar?
**[02:29] Mama**
Well, I do write mystery novels...
**[02:33] Woman**
Novels? What are you talking about?
**[02:35] Woman**
The scholar I'm looking for
**[02:37] Woman**
is the famous archaeologist who
discovered the Shulympos Ring No. 5!
**[02:43] Woman**
They aren't here, then?
**[02:45] Mama**
Archaeologist?
**[02:47] Mama**
Oh, you must mean my husband!
**[02:50] Mama**
Great scholar dear, you have a visitor!
**[02:53] Papa**
Oh, so your son is curious
about the Shulympos Ring?
**[02:57] Woman**
Not just Shulympos!
**[02:59] Woman**
My son is *very* impressed by your work!
**[03:02] Papa**
Oh, is he?
**[03:04] Woman**
He's so impressed, he said he wants to
become an archaeologist just like you!
**[03:10] Woman**
Isn't that right, Chris?
**[03:12] Chris**
Y-Yes, Mama.
**[03:14] Papa**
Oh, that's wonderful!
**[03:16] Papa**
Well, let's give him a treat!
**[03:19] Papa**
Let's go to a museum and I'll
show him my discoveries!
**[03:23] Woman**
Oh, how lovely!
**[03:24] Woman**
Will we also get to see the
famous Shulympus Ring No. 5?
**[03:28] Papa**
Of course!
**[03:30] Papa**
Want to come, Momo?
**[03:31] Momo**
You betcha!
**[03:32] Papa**
Great! Strike while the iron is hot!
**[03:34] Papa**
We'll be back later, dear.
**[03:35] Mama**
Oh, that husband of mine.
**[03:37] Mama**
He always acts this way when
it comes to archaeology!
**[03:41] Woman**
Does he, now? How good to hear.
**[03:44] Papa**
All right, dear, see you later!
**[03:47] Mama**
Have a good trip!
**[03:50] Mama**
Honestly, he really does lose
himself in his archaeology!
**[03:55] King**
That's right, that's right!
**[03:57] King**
If you took archaeology away from him,
**[03:59] King**
he'd be like a kappa in the mountains!
**[04:01] King**
A cockroach dropped in the water!
**[04:03] King**
A dove with clipped wings, coo coo!
**[04:05] Queen**
Or you without your "dee-da."
**[04:10] King**
Dee-da!
**[04:19] Papa**
Well, here's your long-awaited
Shulympus Ring No. 5!
**[04:24] Papa**
There are actually five Shulympus Rings.
**[04:27] Papa**
Numbers 1 through 4
**[04:30] Papa**
were already dug up elsewhere
and displayed in other museums,
**[04:34] Papa**
but No. 5 was said to be gone forever!
**[04:39] Woman**
That's utterly brilliant!
**[04:41] Woman**
Well, Chris?
**[04:42] Woman**
Doesn't it make you want to
be an archaeologist even more?
**[04:45] Chris**
Yes, Mama...
**[04:48] Woman**
Now, sir, I have one favor to ask of you...
**[04:51] Papa**
What is it?
**[04:52] Woman**
Would you let my son touch the ring?
**[04:55] Papa**
B-But...
**[04:57] Woman**
I want to really make a
tangible impact on him!
**[05:00] Woman**
On this red letter day where
his dreams got their start!
**[05:03] Papa**
R-Right...
**[05:05] Woman**
Please, sir...
**[05:10] Papa**
Very well.
**[05:15] Papa**
The artifacts we extract from ruins
belong to all of humanity, after all.
**[05:18] Papa**
I actually wish we could let people
**[05:19] Papa**
could interact with them
without all this security,
**[05:22] Papa**
but we do get people trying to
steal them, so we really can't.
**[05:27] Papa**
Go on, Chris! Touch it!
**[05:30] Woman**
Thank you, sir!
**[05:31] Woman**
So sorry about this.
**[05:33] Papa**
Sorry? About what?
**[05:37] Woman**
About this!
**[05:42] Momo**
Papa!
***SIGN*** It's okay. It's just knock-out gas!
**[05:46] Lupi**
Momo, what about them?
**[05:49] Momo**
Wait up!
**[05:52] Momo**
Get back here!
**[05:55] Momo**
Wait!
**[05:57] Chris**
Mama... th-that girl...
**[06:00] Woman**
How enthusiastic of her!
**[06:10] Man**
You dummy! Be careful!
**[06:18] Woman**
Are you okay, Momo?
**[06:20] Momo**
Y-Yes...
**[06:23] Woman**
That's great.
**[06:24] Woman**
You don't need to chase me. I'll
be returning the ring later myself!
**[06:28] Woman**
Let your father know that, too!
**[06:31] Momo**
What?
**[06:36] Papa**
Wait, what?
**[06:38] Papa**
She's going to return it later?
**[06:40] Momo**
Yeah... kind of a weird thief, right?
**[06:44] Papa**
No, she can't do that!
**[06:46] Momo**
What is it, Papa?
**[06:48] Momo**
She's going to steal all the
rings and put them on Chris!
**[06:52] Momo**
What do you mean?
**[06:54] Papa**
Long, long ago, in the country of Shulympus,
**[06:57] Papa**
there were five extremely brilliant scholars.
**[07:00] Papa**
The king was so proud of them,
he gave them each a ring.
**[07:06] Papa**
Those are the five rings of Shulympus!
**[07:10] Papa**
Even back then, there was
an ambitious mother
**[07:12] Papa**
obsessed with her children's
academic prowess.
**[07:15] Papa**
Hoping to make her son
a great scholar himself,
**[07:18] Papa**
she borrowed the scholars' five
rings and put them on her son.
**[07:22] Papa**
What do you think happened?
**[07:24] Papa**
Mysteriously, her son became
extremely intelligent on the spot!
**[07:29] Papa**
But also, but also...
**[07:31] Papa**
He also took on the bad traits of the five!
**[07:34] Momo**
What do you mean?
**[07:36] Papa**
Stepping on others in pursuit of his field,
**[07:40] Papa**
selfish, mean, doing anything
to achieve his goals.
**[07:43] Papa**
In the end, even deciding
himself superior to the gods,
**[07:47] Papa**
he fired giant arrows at the gods in the sky!
**[07:51] Momo**
No way! What happened?!
**[07:53] Papa**
Obviously they failed
to reach the sky, and...
**[07:57] Papa**
Shulympus was burned to a cinder
and disappeared from history.
**[08:01] Momo**
Sheesh...
**[08:04] Papa**
Of course, that's just a legend.
**[08:07] Momo**
And Chris might become a "scholar" like them?
**[08:10] Papa**
Yes... though obviously,
it seems hard to believe...
**[08:18] Mama**
Yes? Stickaround Inn.
**[08:20] Mama**
Yes, that's right...
**[08:22] Mama**
What? More rings have been stolen?
**[08:24] Mama**
Dear, Rings No. 1 through 3 have been stolen!
**[08:28] Papa**
What?!
**[08:29] Papa**
Which means the last one remaining
is No. 4 in Nearby City!
**[08:33] Momo**
Papa, I'm coming too!
**[08:45] Momo**
Thank goodness! We're in time!
**[08:57] Malinda**
Oh, it's you.
**[08:59] Papa**
M-Malinda?
**[09:01] Malinda**
Well? Does it suit me?
**[09:05] Malinda**
I haven't worn it in ten years.
**[09:08] Malinda**
I was worried how it would
fit around the waist...
**[09:10] Momo**
You were a professional thief?!
**[09:12] Malinda**
Yes, I went straight for the sake of my son,
**[09:15] Malinda**
but I used to be quite infamous...
**[09:18] Malinda**
under the name Pinky Rabbit.
**[09:20] Papa**
What? That beautiful legendary
thief who'd never been caught?
**[09:25] Malinda**
Oh, you flatter me!
**[09:28] Momo**
Papa, this is no time for a chat!
**[09:31] Papa**
Oh, right...
**[09:33] Papa**
Malinda!
**[09:34] Papa**
Please, return all the rings you stole!
**[09:36] Malinda**
Really, this is no time to make demands.
**[09:40] Papa**
Listen, if you put those rings on Chris,
something awful will happen to him!
**[09:45] Security**
There she is!
**[09:46] Security**
Get back here! Stop!
**[09:48] Malinda**
Sorry, but I just don't believe you.
**[09:51] Malinda**
Ciao!
**[09:55] Malinda**
I'll return them all soon!
**[09:58] Momo**
Hey, wait!
**[10:00] Momo**
It's all true!
**[10:05] Comp**
*Yes, now we'll study geography.*
**[10:08] Comp**
*What is the name of this country?*
**[10:10] Chris**
USA.
**[10:12] Comp**
*This country?*
**[10:13] Chris**
England.
**[10:14] Comp**
*And this?*
**[10:17] Chris**
Why are there so many countries?
**[10:21] Chris**
Plus a bunch of new ones form
and go away every year...
**[10:25] Chris**
I... I hate using a screen
to study geography!
**[10:32] Chris**
Computers should be used for games!
**[10:35] Chris**
Chris!
**[10:38] Chris**
I'm sorry, Mama! I really was studying...
**[10:41] Malinda**
That's all fine! You can do
whatever you want from now on!
**[10:45] Malinda**
Starting today, you'll be a genius!
**[10:49] Malinda**
Here, put these on!
**[10:53] King**
La-dee-da, don't do it!
**[10:55] King**
What's Momo doing?!
**[10:57] Queen**
I understand how she feels, as a mother...
**[11:01] Queen**
But those rings...

**[11:14] Momo**
Miss Malinda!
**[11:16] Papa**
Malinda!
**[11:18] Momo**
Miss Malinda!
**[11:20] Papa**
Any sign?
**[11:21] Momo**
No...
**[11:22] Momo**
But I do think she came this way.
**[11:26] Momo**
Let's search a bit longer.
**[11:27] Momo**
Sure.
**[11:29] Momo**
Miss Malinda!
**[11:31] Momo**
Malinda!
**[11:36] Malinda**
Put these on, and you'll be a genius!
**[11:40] Chris**
Mama...
**[11:41] Malinda**
You'll never have to study again.
**[11:53] Malinda**
Chris!
**[12:08] Malinda**
Chris?
**[12:13] Malinda**
Chris!
**[12:14] Malinda**
Chris? Chris!
**[12:20] Malinda**
Are you all right? Did you get hurt?
**[12:23] Chris**
I'm just fine.
**[12:25] Malinda**
That's wonderful!
**[12:26] Malinda**
Then let's get started.
**[12:28] Malinda**
I'll test you to see if
you're really a genius!
**[12:32] Chris**
Test?
**[12:34] Chris**
You want to test *me*?
**[12:39] Chris**
I don't need any of that.
**[12:41] Chris**
I'll prove that I'm a genius right now!
**[12:45] Chris**
Genius doesn't strike
when you least expect it.
**[12:47] Chris**
Actions speak louder than words!
**[12:49] Chris**
The most productive spot in
the house is the kitchen.
**[12:52] Chris**
Marx didn't say that; I, Chris did!
**[12:55] Chris**
This way!
**[12:58] Chris**
Let's experiment.
**[13:00] Chris**
Chris, what are you doing?
**[13:02] Chris**
What do you think?
**[13:04] Chris**
I'm making a bomb!
**[13:06] Malinda**
A bomb?
**[13:07] Malinda**
A bomb?!
**[13:09] Malinda**
Genius comes as an explosion!
**[13:11] Malinda**
Chris, stop it!
**[13:13] Malinda**
Einstein and Nobel both started with bombs.
**[13:19] Malinda**
A fine start.
**[13:20] Malinda**
Genius is always on the march for greatness!
**[13:23] Malinda**
Einstein and Nobel all made
bombs after great thought.
**[13:26] Malinda**
C-Chris?
**[13:28] Malinda**
The knack to making delicious bombs...
**[13:30] Malinda**
Hey, Chris...
**[13:32] Malinda**
Load it up with everything you have,
**[13:33] Malinda**
and abracadabra, nuclear fusion!
**[13:39] Malinda**
Presto, change-o, nuclear fusion!
**[13:41] Malinda**
Everything is nuclear fusion!
**[13:54] Malinda**
Experiment successful! I'm such a genius!
**[14:02] Comp**
*Yes, now we'll study geography.*
**[14:04] Comp**
*What is the name of this country?*
**[14:07] Chris**
Study geography? A genius like
me can't study geography!
**[14:12] Comp**
*Wh-What is the name of this country?*
**[14:16] Chris**
Shut up! Geography is annoying
because there's too many countries!
**[14:20] Chris**
Yes! I, Chris, will rid
this world of countries!
**[14:25] Comp**
*R-Rid the world of countries? H-How?*
**[14:29] Chris**
I will unite the world...
**[14:33] Chris**
Through conquest!
**[14:34] Malinda**
Ch-Chris?
**[14:36] Chris**
Abracadabra, nuclear fusion!
**[14:39] Chris**
Presto, change-o, conquer the world!
**[14:48] Momo**
Oh, dear.
**[14:48] Momo**
This is a little past "oh, dear."
**[14:51] Momo**
Oh, dear...
**[14:53] Papa**
Momo?
**[14:54] Papa**
What's going on there?
**[15:00] Momo**
Miss Malinda?
**[15:01] Papa**
Malinda?
**[15:03] Papa**
Are you all right?
**[15:05] Malinda**
I'm sorry, sir! I've been a fool!
**[15:10] Both**
Can it be... Chris?!
**[15:18] Chris**
Attention, all countries of the world!
**[15:20] Chris**
I am now your leader!
**[15:23] Chris**
*Tear down your borders immediately*
**[15:26] Chris**
*and unite into one country,*
**[15:28] Chris**
* to make things easier for*
* students studying geography!*
**[15:33] Man**
It's a message from a self-styled genius
named Chris to all the countries of the world!
**[15:37] Chris**
If you oppose me,
**[15:39] Chris**
I'll hit your countries with enough bombs
to destroy Earth a hundred times over!
**[15:54] Man**
That's what he said.
**[15:56] Man**
Not again...
**[15:57] Man**
Geniuses are a dime a dozen.
**[16:00] Man**
Ignore that fool's bluffs.
**[16:03] Comp**
*They said they were ignoring your bluffs.*
**[16:07] Chris**
Genius is never appreciated!
**[16:09] Chris**
Let there be no mercy left in this world!
**[16:11] Chris**
Prepare to fire missiles!
**[16:13] Comp**
*Neither you nor the city would survive that.*
**[16:17] Chris**
No worries. Watch this!
**[16:24] Momo**
What's going on?!
**[16:25] Chris**
*Mama, and the beautiful girl!*
**[16:28] Momo**
Beautiful girl?
**[16:29] Momo**
M-Me?
***SIGN*** Even genius can't account for taste—
**[16:33] Momo**
Darn it.
**[16:35] Chris**
*And the others with you...*
**[16:37] Chris**
* The old man and your three*
* pets. I'll save them, too.*
**[16:41] Momo**
Thanks!
**[16:43] Momo**
But we'd rather you didn't do this.
**[16:45] Chris**
* It'll be fine! Even if the world*
* is destroyed, you'll be safe!*
**[16:49] Chris**
You, I, Mama, and your father will survive
**[16:53] Chris**
to make a new world where students
don't have to study geography!
**[16:57] Chris**
Now, three minutes to launch!
**[17:02] Clock**
Three minutes! Three minutes!
***SIGN*** This is all very stupid, but he seems serious.
***SIGN*** Malinda!
**[17:10] Lupi**
Momo, you're the only one
who can save the world!
**[17:14] Lupi**
Yeah!
**[17:17] Momo**
Magic, magic! Stop the missile launches!
**[17:23] Momo**
Two minutes, thirty seconds! Two
minutes, twenty-nine seconds!
**[17:26] Momo**
Keep going!
**[17:28] Momo**
What happened? Why didn't my magic work?
**[17:31] King**
Oh dear, oh dear!
**[17:32] King**
What's wrong?
**[17:34] Queen**
Even if it was magic that
made Chris a genius,
**[17:37] Queen**
those missiles are man-made
objects rooted in reality.
**[17:41] Queen**
Dream magic is weak against real-life fears.
**[17:44] Queen**
She doesn't have enough power.
**[17:47] King**
Oh... even dream magic suffers
from an energy crisis?
**[17:50] Queen**
No, it's about what dreams will and won't
work on! It's an environmental crisis!
**[17:55] Momo**
If it won't work, I'll
keep trying until it does!
**[17:58] Momo**
Magic, full blast!
**[18:06] Momo**
One minute, forty-two seconds!
**[18:08] Momo**
One minute, forty-one seconds!
**[18:10] King**
It's no good, la-dee-da!
**[18:12] King**
There's not enough energy!
**[18:14] Queen**
If the world ends, all dreams will disappear.
**[18:17] Momo**
It's time to give it all I've got!
**[18:19] Momo**
Any power I have left, please, use it!
***SIGN*** Does she have any left?
***SIGN*** Even if she doesn't, it has to show itself!
***SIGN*** If it doesn't, the world is done for!
***SIGN*** Please, show yourself, my magic!
***SIGN*** Momo!
***SIGN*** Momo?
**[18:48] Momo**
I guess it didn't work.
**[18:53] Momo**
I need more power... more light!
**[18:57] Momo**
More dreams!
**[19:23] Momo**
My stick!
***SIGN*** Momo...
**[19:25] Chamo**
A power-up!
**[19:27] Lupi**
You think your magic will work now?
**[19:29] Momo**
Yeah!
**[19:35] Momo**
Take that!
**[19:48] Chris**
What is that light?!
**[19:58] Chris**
What the...
**[19:59] Chris**
Huh? Where's all my bombs?
**[20:02] Chris**
The beautiful girl...
**[20:04] Momo**
Will this tell you?
**[20:07] Chris**
Even my own mother never hit me!
**[20:10] Malinda**
Chris!
**[20:11] Chris**
Mama!
**[20:14] Chris**
Mama! The beautiful girl was mean to me!
**[20:17] Malinda**
Chris!
**[20:22] Malinda**
Even if you're a genius,
you are still my child!
**[20:25] Malinda**
I will not let you be naughty!
**[20:28] Chris**
Mama's so mean!
**[20:31] Both**
The rings!
**[20:32] Both**
Chris!
**[20:33] Chris**
No!
**[20:35] Momo**
One!
**[20:36] Malinda**
Two!
**[20:38] Trio**
Three!
**[20:40] Papa**
Four!
**[20:42] Malinda**
And five!
**[20:50] Chris**
Mama?
**[20:53] Chris**
Mama, what happened to our house?
**[20:56] Malinda**
Chris!
**[20:59] All**
Abracadabra, and a happy ending...
**[21:02] All**
I guess?
**[21:15] King**
Celebrate! Venerate! I'm in a happy state!
**[21:18] Queen**
Is it though?
**[21:20] Queen**
Look at that.
**[21:21] King**
There's gaps in the dream fragment cloud!
**[21:23] Queen**
That's the portion Momo
used up to power her magic!
**[21:28] King**
Guess so...
**[21:30] King**
But something awful would've happened to
the world if she hadn't used her magic.
**[21:34] King**
Can't really help it.
**[21:36] Queen**
What's going to happen next?
**[21:39] King**

**[21:53] Mama**
What, you're still not done
with the accounting for tonight?
**[21:56] Papa**
Dear, let's put it off to tomorrow.
**[21:59] Mama**
No! You'll just pawn it off on me, then!
**[22:03] Papa**
O-Of course not!

**[22:22] Mama**
Oh, too bad.
**[22:24] Momo**
How nice of him!
