Editing Littlefoot's Adventures of The Great Mouse Detective/Transcript (section)

== Enter Ratigan/The World's Greatest Criminal Mind ==
(In a lab we find a robotic-like droid rattling and popping as it begins to pour coffee in a mug, and who was reluctantly functioning it was Olivia's kidnapped father Hiram Flaversham before getting smoked from behind by none other than the infamous Professor Padraic Ratigan.)

Ratigan: (chuckles) Quite an ingenious scheme, eh, Flaversham? And aren't you proud to be a part of it?

Hiram: This whole thing, It's....it's monstrous.

Ratigan: We will have our little device ready by tomorrow evening, won't we? You know what will happen if you fail.

Hiram: (getting angry) I...I... I don't care!

(He pulls the lever controls backwards and causes the droid to begin going haywire as it poured coffee from mug into itself and then began all the coffee in the coffee pot. It then tossed it to Ratigan as he ducked to avoid it. Then the droid starts rattling and pop wildly till it sputtered and collapsed. Oil was sputtered out from it as it hits Ratigan's shoulder.)

Hiram: You can do what you want with me. I won't be a part of this... this... evil any longer!-

Ratigan: Very well, if that is your decision. (chuckles) Oh, uh, by the way, I'm taking liberty of having your daughter brought here.

Hiram: Olivia?

Ratigan: (chuckles) Yes. I would spend many a sleepless night if anything unfortunate would befall her.

Hiram: You woudln't!

(Ratigan grabs the dancer and angrily squeezes it which caused it to break. He makes a phony sad face.)

Ratigan: (yelling) Finish it, Flaversham!

(Hiram was horrified, before reluctantly agreeing as he turned his attention to fixing up the droid. Outside the room.)

Ratigan: Oh, I love it when I'm nasty. (he walks over to Fidget who is sleeping) Fidget? Fidget! (Fidget waking up and comes down) Bright and alert as always. (gives him the list) Here's the list. You know what to do and no mistakes.

Fidget: (chuckles nervously) No, no, mistakes. (reading the list) "Tools, gears, girl, uniforms."

Ratigan: Now, Fidget!

Fidget: (leaves, scared) I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!

(Fidget goes to the sewer. In Ratigan's office we hear cheering and inside we see Ratigan, being cheered by his gang of henchmen, and the villains as they applauded for him till Ratigan lets out his cigar which seven of his thugs lit with matches as Ratigan smokes.)

Professor Ratigan: My friends, we are about to embark on the most odious, the most evil, the most diabolical scheme of my illustrious career. (A thug named: Bartholomew trying to get a sip of beer but to his disappointment his mug's all empty) A crime to top all crimes. A crime that will live in infamy!

Ratigan's Thugs and Villains: (cheered and applauded)

???: So what is this big scheme of yours we're going to do, Professor?

???: Yeah, tell us, tell us!

Professor Ratigan: Ah, allow me to explain. (takes out a newspaper with a picture of the Mouse Queen) Tomorrow evening our beloved monarch celebrates her Diamond Jubilee. And with the enthusiastic help of our good friend, Mr. Flaversham.

Ratigan's Thugs: (snickering)

Professor Ratigan: It promises to be a night she will never forget. (he burns his cigar on the picture of the Mouse Queen)

Ratigan's Thugs: (gasps)

Pete: Oh you mean, we're going to... (''making the signal of cutting a head off)''

Ratigan: No, no, nothing like that.

Meowth: Then, what did you have in mind, Ratigan?

Ratigan: Well, Meowth, I'm glad you asked that. We're all going to get rid of the queen.

James: Then, you'll make an excellent king, Ratigan.

Ratigan: (chuckles) I'm glad you think so, James.

Jessie: We all think so too.

Professor Ratigan: Her last night, and my first as supreme ruler of all Mousedom!

Ratigan's Thugs and the villains: (Cheered)

(Music plays as Ratigan straightened his hair and marched down and danced as he gets his top hat from one of his thugs.)

[The World's Greatest Criminal Mind]

['''Professor''' '''Ratigan''']

(laughs evilly)

From the brain that brought you the Big Ben Caper,

The head that made headlines in every newspaper,

And wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job,

That cunning display that made Londoners sob,

Now comes the real tour-de-force —

Tricky and wicked, of course —

My earlier crimes were fine for their times,

But now that I'm at it again,

An even grimmer plot has been simmering

In my great criminal brain!

'''[Ratigan's Thugs and the villains]'''

Even meaner? You mean it?

Worse than the widows and orphans you drowned?

You're the best of the worst around!

Oh, Ratigan!

Oh, Ratigan!

The rest fall behind!

To Ratigan!

To Ratigan!

The world's greatest criminal mind!

(We find Professor Ratigan playing his harp)

Professor Ratigan: ''Thank you… thank you… but it hasn’t all been champagne and caviar. I’ve had my share of adversity, thanks to that miserable second-rate detective, Basil of Baker Street.''

Ratigan's Thugs and the villains (''spoken''): ''Boo!''

???: Hmph! If there is one thing I don't like, it's having a detective spoiling my fun!

-

-

???: That Basil guy, has spoiled your fun before hasn't he Professor Ratigan?

Professor Ratigan: Yes! ''For years that insufferable pipsqueak has interfered with my plans. I haven’t had a moment’s peace of mind.''

Ratigan's Thugs: ''Awww!''

(''Bartholomew sobs.'')

Professor Ratigan: ''But all that’s in the past. This time, nothing, not even Basil, can stand in my way. All will bow before me!''

[Ratigan's Thugs and the villains]

Oh, Ratigan!

Oh, Ratigan!

You're tops and that's that!

To Ratigan!

To Ratigan!

[Bartholomew]

To Ratigan, the world's greatest rat

(hiccup)

(Ratigan then spitted out his drink upon hearing what Bartholomew said)

Villains: (angry) WHAT?!

Ratigan's thugs: (gasps horrified)

Professor Ratigan: ''What was THAT?!''

(Bartholomew ''hiccups.'')

Professor Ratigan: ''What did you call me?'' 

???: I believe he called you a... rat, Professor.

Red: ''Oh, oh, he didn’t mean it, Professor!''

Bill the Lizard''':''' ''I-it was just a slip of the tongue.''

Professor Ratigan (''spoken''): ''I am not a rat!''

Snakes''':''' ''’Course you’re not. You’re a mouse.'' 

Red: ''Yeah, that’s right. Right! A mouse.''

Bill the Lizard: ''Yeah, a-a BIG mouse.''

Professor Ratigan: SILENCE!

(He tosses the drunk Bartholomew out as he hits the floor and shakes his head)

???: (laughs evilly) Ooh, somebody's in trouble.

???: You're gonna get it now, Bartholomew! Ya little fool!

Professor Ratigan: Indeed. Oh, my dear Bartholomew, I'm afraid that you've gone and upset me.

(The drunk Bartholomew was just smiling while Ratigan took out a bell)

Professor Ratigan: You know what happens when someone upsets me.

Ratigan's Thugs: (shuddering scared)

???: (laughs evilly) He's gonna get it now.

(Ratigan then shook his hand causing the bell to ring)

Ratigan's Thugs: (gasps horrified)

(Then a shadow appeared from a wall and who came in was Ratigan's pet. A big fat cat named: Felicia.)

Bartholomew: (singing; drunkenly) Oh, Ratigan, Oh, Ratigan, You're the tops and that's that... (hiccups)

(Felicia looks with an evil satisfying look as Ratigan's thugs watched in fear, while the villains smirked evilly.)

Bartholomew: Oh, dear. (singing; drunkenly) To Ratigan, To Ratigan....

Ratigan's Thugs: (moaned horrified)

(We see a shadow of Felicia holding Bartholomew in her paw as she opened her mouth wide)

Bartholomew: (singing; drunkenly) The world's greatest....

(Then we hear Felicia gulping as the thugs covered their eyes before checking to see Felicia has finished swallowing their unfortunate teammate.)

Felicia: (meows)

(The thugs give a sad sorry look for their fallen companion.)

???: Ha! Serves him right! (laughs evilly)

Professor Ratigan: (sniffles) Oh, Felicia, my precious, my baby. Did Daddy's little honey bun enjoy her tasty treat?

Felicia: (burps)

???: Ha! That'll teach that fool, not to call you the "R" word, boss.

Professor Ratigan: Yes, well I trust there will be no further interruptions. (the nervous thugs went back in as Ratigan enters; clears throat) And now, as you were singing...

???: You better sing boys or...

(Ratigan takes out his bell)

[Ratigan's thugs] 

(gasps)

Even louder!

We'll shout it!

[Ratigan's Thugs and the villains]

No one can doubt what we know you can do! (Professor Ratigan ''laughs''.)

You're more evil than even you! (Professor Ratigan: ''Whoo!'')

Oh, Ratigan! (Professor Ratigan: ''Ha-ha!'')

Oh, Ratigan! (Professor Ratigan: ''Yeeeaahhh!'')

You're one of a kind! (Professor Ratigan ''laughs''.)

To Ratigan! (Professor Ratigan: ''Ha!'')

To Ratigan! (Professor Ratigan: ''Olé!'')

The world's greatest criminal mind!

(Song ends)
