Everyone said it wasn't possible and it would never work,
but instead: cheese, peanut butter and hot sauce.
It's delicious. Now that I've thought about lunch, what else should I do?
Finish my super secret and revolutionary invention.
It's not fake yet, a little fix with my screwdriver ...
Stratopico! Here we are. And now the last test!
Okay guys, let's get started!
Puffartopo, I've never seen so much aged cheese!
I usually keep it in a safe, but I thought today was the right time
to catalog my cheesy antiquities.
So, let's get busy fill in the forms!
So we're not going to eat a single piece of cheese?
Not today I'm sorry Pandora, for each case of cheese
fill out the form here, here, here and here.
Then bring everything back to the warehouse, easier than that!
- Yeah right. - It will take days to finish.
Hello Professor Von Volt, a new invention? I'll be right there.
You go and leave us here with all this paperwork to fill out?
I'll be back as soon as possible!
Finally he has arrived. Isn't it strenuous? Look.
- Yes, interesting. Things? - My back scratcher friend.
Do you want to see how it works?
No, not right now. He helps others while I am away.
Do you know what a job well done means? Check, check, check.
Job well done? What work?
Hello my dear Larry, I wanted to deliver this package to my favorite reporter.
I'm sorry for you Sally but I'm not buying it.
Are you calling me a liar, ugly moldy scamorza face?
I meant:
are you really sure you are not mistaking me for someone else?
Thing is, you try it every week, Sally.
You try to break into the palace to steal the best scoops.
Aaah!
- Good morning Dr. Stilton. - Good morning Larry.
- I'm on my way to Volt's lab. - Have a nice day then.
Vov Volt? Good!
Beware of the Geronimo mustache.
Meet my new: Swap Heads.
The famous device for exchanging minds? Were you able to finish it?
I succeeded, and how.
One person sits here, the other here and the machine does the rest.
Swap the brain of the first for that of the second.
Of course, it still has to be tested.
- Who will be the lucky two? - But us, of course.
- We? - What's going on here?
Sally don't touch anything please.
Fool, I followed Geronimo all the way here to get the scoop.
Everyone will know that you are a scientist whose brain has gone into fondue.
Where did you hide it? What is it about? A robot? A laser?
Be careful, you almost broke this thing that I don't know what it is.
I think we need a fix to the electrical circuit, it went haywire.
It'll be better next time, professor.
- Thank you Sally. - Sally? It's me: Geronimo.
- It's me Sally, ricotta head. - I think the exchange worked.
You are me? So am I you? My voice!
My voice and my beautiful body, give them back to me.
Bad rat, I order you to give them back to me.
Whoever you are, you both need to get back to the car.
If you don't re-enter your respective bodies within 24 hours,
the swapping of the two brains will last forever!
Forever? Does that mean I'll be stuck in this rat forever?
The sooner you do the better, what my family will say,
I can't run the Geronimo Stilton Media Group in this state.
You too, or rather, I also have a company to take care of.
If everyone believes that I am Geronimo, I can destroy the Geronimo Stilton Media Group once and for all , and I will do it from the inside.
Hey! Come back here with my body!
Not you again, fondue brain.
I'm just doing my job, Dr. Stilton.
Doctor Stilton? Oh, of course, it's me. Thanks Larry.
- Where do you think you're going? - Larry is me, let me pass?
You never give up, do you Sally?
- Hello, how are you? - Good morning boss.
Are you all that nice here? Finally, this must be my office.
Oops, wrong door.
Hey what's going on here?
We were bored and had a race with the airplanes.
Never mind, I'm glad I found Geronimo's office.
No, I mean: my office.
Hideous, it needs a fix.
Do you want us to finish the cataloging work?
No, come to think of it, it's a bad idea. Take it all away.
- You love paperwork. - You don't want to argue with Geronimo?
- Did you hear it? Away with these cards. - And take away the stinking cheese too.
- What is this? - It's my back scratcher.
Sally Rasmousen, asks to see her. He says it's urgent.
Should I get it up?
Absolutely not Luis,
in fact I don't even want it in the hall.
As you like, but for the record, my name is Larry.
Just do it Louis.
- Do you care about your job? - Have you heard?
Come on Larry it's me, believe me, Geronimo.
- But who was on the intercom? - Nobody important.
What are you all doing here? Don't have a place to work?
Indeed yes, this one. We have the editorial meeting.
Great, I announce that there will be changes from now on.
I'll teach you suckers, what's the right news to put on the front page.
We've been locked in this disgusting office all afternoon,
and I still haven't heard any news worthy of our name.
How about an article about the Topazia cheese festival?
How boring, do you want to make me fall asleep in two seconds?
Actually I don't work here,
but there is one who has discovered the cure for Gruyere allergy.
Oh, a cure for Gruyere allergy? The worst idea I've ever heard!
What do you have in place of the brain? Expired cheese?
Look at that hairstyle and scamorza dress.
Making fun of the rich and gossiping
is the kind of journalism to bet on. I got it?
- Hurray! - What?
Should we get into gossip? But we never dealt with that nonsense.
We will do it from now on.
From now on, celebrity news 24 hours a day seven days a week.
- Stratum. - It's more than just phenomenal.
If any of you don't like the idea, you all know where the door is.
Sorry, what's going on?
- Now that we are thinking. - Look, isn't it wonderful?
Pink doors, a lamp I love them!
As a new director ... oops!
I meant as the historical director of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group,
I have decided that things are going to change completely in here. Clear?
Oh no! The day has flown by, I only have until tomorrow morning,
before the brain swap becomes irreversible,
and before Sally causes irreparable damage to my company.
Fire.
Well, it looks like it's time to move to plan B.
- I like the way you set up the office. - Yes, tell me.
So it's pretty cool, stay close little girl,
I'll teach you how to handle business.
By the way, I have these new contracts you wanted to look into.
Do you want me to read them first?
- Oh yes, perfect, it's all written here. - What is written there?
Nothing important. Jackdaw! Jackdaw!
- Where's that face ... - Jackdaw?
You called me?
What is this tool? And above all why is it in my chair?
You said earlier it was cute!
Are you sure you're okay? You're weird, you don't look like you anymore.
Don't look like me? And who am I supposed to be? Sally Rasmousen? Is absurd!
- Take these three away. - Are you kicking us out?
- Absolutely not, they do it. - Hey don't push. Uncle!
Rule number one, always address a VIP sweetly.
Another vanilla milkshake, Gym?
Or are you not cut out for the tough business world?
Gym did you say?
Thing? Rule number two, speak louder or keep quiet.
This story stinks to me, and not from vintage cheese.
Maybe the vapors of all that cheese have gone to his head. Give it time.
Benjamin, if your uncle still sees you here, he'll be very angry!
I know, but he's acting weird. He is different than usual.
You're right, but I don't mind him. He makes some stratopic milkshakes.
What does he tell me about the beauty masks, the furniture and all that pink?
It's like he swapped his brain with another person,
Who claims he swapped my brain?
- Names out. - Sorry uncle, it was a way of saying.
Ah understood!
Why don't we two go for a ride now? I would like to talk to you.
Sorry, isn't the studio over there?
Sure, but I was testing you, but I see you're careful.
Wait to find out what I have thought of proposing to you.
This is where the magic of information happens.
- Magic in the guardian's office? - Treat.
Do you want to entrust me with a television program? I do not know what to say! Is it your job.
What good is fame and fortune if you don't share it with your family?
- You will become a star. - What will this program be about?
- I'll leave it up to you, do as you like. - So, I'd talk about aliens,
or big sharks, did you know that ...
Hey!
Done, I got rid of that snoop for a little while.
Now let's stop sinking this scamorze company forever.
Ronf, ronf!
- Sally? - No, you're wrong, I'm the uncle.
Sounds absurd but you have to believe me, Sally and I
accidentally swapped brains in Von Volt's lab.
Now she pretends to be me to make up, I don't know what disaster.
This explains everything, also why my uncle locked me up here.
We have to try to get out of here.
Sooner or later they will realize that we are gone.
Sooner or later it might be late.
If we don't get our respective brains back by nine tomorrow morning,
I'll be trapped here forever.
- Oh no, we're trapped rats. - Never say never.
This time I have to admit that it is a bit complicated situation.
If we come out of it, this brain-swapping thing is going to
be a Stratumpe scoop.
Scoop? An absurd story? Absurd scoops!
Maybe this is it, if Sally wants to lead the news,
we'll give her a chance. Are you ready for the live Benjamin?
- 30 seconds. - Go live?
Sally presenting the news? Viewers will be shocked.
- Viewers! - They'll be the ones to get us out of here.
- What are you doing here? - I can not sleep.
Yeah, neither am I, are you too worried about Geronimo like me?
Certain! Plus yesterday's Thai dinner didn't do me any good.
Or maybe it was the Mexican dish I got for dessert.
Or the Indian curry I ate as a second dessert.
Who knows if Geronimo has baking soda in his desk.
Look at this office, just walking in makes me nauseous.
- Who do you tell. - Who calls at night?
Sally leading the Rodent Echo?
A moment please. She would like to complain about a new one ...
stay on the line please.
Hey, Sally's on the air in our studios!
Here Sally, I have taken control of the Rodent's Echo,
no one will be able to stop me anymore.
Unless you come to the basement
of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group,
bring a key, or a good locksmith.
- All this does not make sense. Here we go. - I arrive.
Sally is enough now. Benjamin? What happens?
- This is not Sally, this is the uncle. - What?
Volt's invention transferred uncle's mind into Sally's body,
and Sally's mind into uncle's body.
Sally is therefore Geronimo.
Is Geronimo Tea? I'm Benjamin, no shut up everyone I'll get there by myself!
The person we thought was Geronimo is actually Sally.
Oh come on, I wanted to get there by myself.
This explains why he was behaving strangely.
The rudeness, the interest in gossip, the pink decor.
Well, where is Geronimo? I mean Sally?
We have to get them to Von Volt or the exchange of minds will become definitive.
When he or she left the studio last night he said something
about making things final.
Definitive? What did he ever mean? He won't want to stay in my body forever.
No, I know where she went! Come on.
Trap, move.
Dr. Stilton, are you quite sure you want to do this?
As his lawyer I advise against signing.
Of course I'm sure, just say one more word and he'll be my ex-lawyer.
- Come on, give me that paperwork. - Wait, I'll help you.
I am surrounded by true incompetents.
- Sorry my bad. - Is it possible that it takes so long?
Here you go, here.
- What a mess! I'm sorry. - Pashmina you are a mess!
Go get a stain remover before the stain dries!
Stop!
- Lawyer, pen. - Stop.
Geronimo! I meant Sally.
I'm the real Geronimo, and if I'm right,
those documents transfer ownership of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group,
to Sally Rasmousen, think about it, would I ever do such a thing?
Of course not. This should convince her that Sally is in that body.
Too late band of fondue brains.
No! We can still reach it.
Out of the way, get out of the way.
Well why did it take you so long?
Do you think I want to spend the rest of my life in here?
Now where will that contract go? Here it is, I have to tear it up immediately.
We have no time to waste. Sit down, you only have a few seconds.
Hurry up scamorza cheese!
- How do you feel uncle? - Me again!
- Hurray! The exchange worked. - Hurray!
Thanks, it's awesome to be Geronimo again.
As well as head of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group.
You mean ex boss!
The contract!
It is also no longer the Geronimo Stilton Media Group,
now it is the "With a click you become a VIP" channel of Gazzetta del Ratto.
It's all mine now.
Read and cry Stilton.
How come you're not whining like a little mouse? It's all mine now.
- Even those green suits of yours. - Did you read what you signed?
You are not the owner of the Geronimo Stilton Media Group.
Of course I haven't read it, why?
Once a great reporter told me,
that the key to good work is to check, check, check.
If you had, you would have noticed that I had replaced the documents.
So the uncle still owns the company.
- Great job Pandora. - I realized that something was wrong,
as Geronimo, or rather Sally, got my name wrong.
Sorry if I haven't listened to you before, it was too good to be true.
- I'll miss the massage chair. - So I have nothing?
- It is not possible. - In fact, nothing is not correct.
Congratulations, you are the new owner of Trappola's fabulous back scratcher.
Please, treat him well.
So if you ever want to spend a day
in someone else's shoes,
or literally in its body, the Head Swap is the machine for you.
Today, exclusively, we have the inventor Professor Von Volt.
Tell us professor,
what is the secret to making such phenomenal inventions?
Imagination, knowledge and the right equipment.
I told you to leave me alone.
I just want to show you how to use it.
From Professor Von Volt's lab, that's all for today.
Here Geronimo Stilton, to you in the studio.
