(WINDMILL CREAKING) MURIEL: Like sisters.
I wonder when Eustace will be getting back? This itch is killing me.
Somebody scratch my back.
- Stupid American.
- (EUSTACE GRUMBLING) My, isn't it a marvelous fair this year? The hayride was grand! Grand! (GRUMBLING) Another 50 cents down the drain! (ENGINE RUMBLING) I just love county fairs.
Blah-blah-blah.
(CROW CAWS) Huh? (CROWS CAWING) (EXCLAIMS) (CAWING CONTINUES) Oh, guess rain's a-coming.
I had better close the window.

Like my Aunt Gertrude always said Ahhh! (GHOULISH WAILING) (BANGING) - Hey, you! - (HORN BLOWING) (THUD) BOTH: Ahhh! Huh? Ahhh! Well, would you look at that? It's nothing but an old scarecrow.
Poor thing.
Eh, forget that worthless pile of straw.
Now, Eustace, really.
All it needs is a few buttons here and there, a patch or two, and it'll be good as new.
(WINDMILL CREAKING) Hmm.
The wee scissors.
(SQUEAKING) Ugh.
(THUD) There you go.
Good as new.

Oh! Ah! Thank you.
(WINDMILL CREAKING) (HUMMING) You just rest up.

- (SADLY MUMBLING) - Now, now.
I don't want you worrying about frightening things on my account.
Oh, if I can't scare things away to protect you, what good am I? Don't you worry about protecting me.
Nothing bad ever happens around here.
(CLANGING) Oh, my! (SCARECROW MOANING MENACINGLY) Oh my! Ahhh! (BEATING) Ahhh! (SHIP WHIRRING) What good am I? (MOANING) (SIGHS) There, there.

I am bad.
People fear me.
Yeah! I am bad.
People fear me.
(LAUGHING SINISTERLY) EUSTACE: Where's my jelly? Can't eat my toast without my jelly! We're all out.
I'll just run down to the basement for another jar.

Let me (BANGING) Ahhh! Ooh! (BLUBBERING) - Ah! - (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS) Now, Eustace, I always tell ya to clear your mess when you're through eating.
(BABBLING) (GROWLING) (WHIMPERING) (CHOKING) - (BANGING) - (COURAGE YELLING) Ow! (EXCLAIMING) That scarecrow is getting a wee bit carried away.
You're too exposed up here.
I need to get you to a safe house.

(GROANING) Poor thing.
Not much of a scarecrow, is he? (HORN BEEPING) My father was a scary scarecrow.
And his father.
And his Aunt Hilda.
Oh, but me, I'm a worthless bale of nothing.
Just because you come from a scary family doesn't mean you have to be scary, too.
But what else is there for the likes of me? Maybe you've got other talents.
Hmm! Don't you just love a hayride, Courage? Mmm-hmm.
Ha! EUSTACE: Get off of me! Get off! Hey! Hey! Hey! (THEME SONG) EUSTACE: Stupid dog! (LAUGHS) English - SDH March 2017
