Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated (2010) s01e08 Episode Script

The Grasp of the Gnome

Ooh! Hmm? Huh? Huh? I still don't get why some people insist on dressing like pirates at a faire for knights.
Because knights are boring.
They're so, "milord this" and "milady that.
" "Joust me! Ooh, I've got the pox!" Pirates, on the other hand, are awesome.
Yarr! I got to fix this thing.
Hmm? Huh? Hello? Hmm.
I could knit a sash in the time you're taking.
- Scooby-Dooby-Doo! I, lord Barry, welcome thee to the royal knights faire.
Huzzah.
More filthy pirates.
Go hang out at a seafood restaurant.
Lord Barry's got to relax about letting pirates mix with the knights and damsels.
I told him not to worry about historical inaccuracies.
More people, more money.
Ow! Quiet, fool.
All faire should be kept historically untainted.
Otherwise, who knows what sort of shambling low-lives will arrive.
- Peg-leg shaggy says, "arr, shiver me timbers, "and, like, break out the barbecue turkey legs and the mutton kebabs.
" - Aye-aye, peg-leg shaggy, sir.
Any way a girl could dock here? Aye, but only if ye be in wench garb and talking all piratey.
- Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of root beer.
Let's see.
I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "no way I'm putting on those dumb clothes.
" Man, oh, man! This knights faire thing is awesome.
We got to check out black plague village.
I hear they've got a 6-foot-deep man trap filled with wild musk hogs.
Freddy, did you notice my outfit? I don't even understand that question.
Hey, guys, look at this.
And it had horrible, glowing green hair.
Right.
Now, did this thing leave a name? Or a business card? Mayor Jones, sheriff, what happened here? Nothing unusual.
Just a standard scary gnome attack.
Aren't gnomes the things people put in their gardens? Posies and pinwheels, Fred.
Those gnomes are peaceful creatures.
Scary gnomes are something very different, and good for tourism.
So stay out of this.
Hear ye, hear ye.
Get your cotton candy clams, just like king Richard used to eat.
Oh, who am I kidding? I thought the gnome would attack me, but it waddled back into the shadows.
Never made a sound.
This is surprisingly bad.
Arr! A mystery fair and true.
Best we be to avoid it.
What says ye, dogbeard? Aye.
Scary gnomes, no.
More cotton candy clam, aye.
So its touch paralyzed? For some reason, that doesn't seem like a gnome power.
Goblin, maybe, or perhaps a sprite.
Well, whatever it was, it's going to be up to us to find it.
Oh, Fred.
You sound so noble when you say that.
Mmm.
My mom is running the souvenir stand at the ice cream moat.
She might know something.
Care to come along, peg-leg? - Hoo-hoo! Arr! Like, dogbeard and me can always go for ice cream! Yeah, with peanuts and cherries.
Ooh.
Arr, I mean, crossbones and eyeballs.
Arrgh! Is it me, or are pirates basically just hoboes with earrings? Well, I guess that just leaves us.
Looks like it, my fair maiden.
Hey, are those lepers? Ahh.
Mmm! Nothing like good moat.
I'll say.
Whoops.
Look at him, mom.
Is it me? What am I, radioactive? Don't be too hard on yourself, Velma.
You're quite pleasant when you aren't trying to be smarter than everyone else.
But I really care about him, and I want him to care about me.
It will happen, sweetheart.
And if it doesn't, mommy will mix him up a special drink of poison mushrooms and wormwood.
Mom! Kidding! Anyway, about your scary gnome, this should help.
"I'm okay you're a scary gnome.
" Read it.
One thing I can tell you for sure if it is a scary gnome you're dealing with, watch out.
They hold grudges.
Gah.
That queen was a royal jerk.
Yeah.
I said "ahoy, ahoy" in my pirate voice, and she stared at me like I was wearing a hat made of live mice.
Dude, if I ever found a hat like that, I'd never take it off.
Huh? Mommy! These attacks could really wipe out business.
Or not.
We'll be fine.
Only wretched pirates are being assaulted.
Let's get back to the faire.
Hmm.
So, what do you say now, dad? Looks like that scary gnome needs investigating.
For once, Fred, I agree with you.
- You do? - Absolutely.
For instance, can it play popular tunes on a bank of horns? Can it ride a motorcycle in a circle? Can it spin like a top on its pointy cone head? All things we need to investigate.
Right, so stop wasting our time, punk! Sorry, sorry.
I just get excited.
So, what did you find out from your mom, Velma? There's lots of info on gnomes, but nothing about attacks on pirates.
They like gems, possess weak magic, and while some gnomes are good and helpful to animals, others are evil and rumored to work as managers in the shady world of faerie wrestling.
Maybe our gnome dropped this.
I found it in the hand of one of the pirate nerds.
Way to go, Daph! We find out who has the other one, we find our gnome.
Arrgh.
Perhaps Peter squawk knows a tale or two about this here scary gnome.
What say ye, Pete? He knows something! For the sake of those two, we better hope the whole pirate thing is a coincidence.
Just put him in any open chair.
We're out of room at the hospital.
And watch those refillable sodas, boys.
You're on duty.
The little creep clearly has it in for scurvy scalawags.
No admittance.
This is a quarantined area.
Besides, the movie's already started.
You're showing them a movie? Yeah.
Aren't they, like, frozen with gnomey magic? I already saw the movie.
Believe me, magically frozen is the perfect viewing state to be in.
You guys thinking what I'm thinking? Double feature? No.
We need to get in there and run some tests on those pirates.
- Arrgh.
Like, perhaps old dogbeard and peg-leg shaggy should stay outside and guard the concession stand.
What are you talking about? You said you loved me.
I did, but that was before I decided to hit the road with Larry and start a mariachi band.
But Larry is a schnauzer! I so know how she feels.
Ahh.
Here's a good one.
Stand back.
This is going to get awesome.
Is everything ok, Velma? Shaggy and I have been seeing each other.
I knew it! Oh, Velma, I'm so happy for you! Or not.
I want to be with him.
Then he does something stupid.
Then I hate myself for liking him.
Then I miss him.
Then I see him again.
Then he does something stupid.
Oh, you are so completely living my life.
I mean, ohh, sorry.
You guys having a lady talk? Oh! Don't leave me out! Go ahead.
Tell him.
Things can't get any worse.
Velma is having a relationship with shaggy, and she's frustrated because her affections aren't returned in the same measure that they're given! Crazy, huh? Look, Velma, you're complicating things.
Why have a separate relationship with shaggy when the 5 of us already have this awesome relationship? Just try and relax.
We have the rest of our lives together to work out any problems.
Besides, I think I found something.
My test indicates the goo is a jellyfish toxin.
Jellyfish toxin? Precisely.
And it causes instant paralysis.
The effect should only last a few days.
Like, just long enough for the royal knights faire to be over tomorrow.
So our only clues are jellyfish toxin and an earring.
That's not much to work with.
Which means we better kick this investigation into high gear.
- Like, now's our chance, Scooby-Doo.
While the rest of the gang is off scary gnome-hunting, the faire's delicious delights are all ours.
I want to run something through with a spear.
I say, good riddance to those sea scum.
Is he talking about us? I never let pirates in when I ran things.
You ran things into the ground, you silly tot.
That's why I'm in charge.
Yes, married the rich queen, didn't you? Well, we'll see how long you stay in charge.
Like, there's his gnome suit.
We got to get out of here! Wait, look! Arr! Arr! Arr! I'm a secret pirate! I'm a secret pirate! Swish! Avast ye, me hearties! Oh, ho, ho, ho! I'm a swashbuckler, I am! Like, wow.
That is something I didn't need to see.
My brain needs a shower.
Hmm? - Get the rest of the gang and save yourself, Scooby-Doo! Hoo-hoo-hoo! Ow! - Scooby-Doo, just have a bite of boar.
It will make you feel better.
Ohh, it doesn't feel right without Raggy.
Where's my Raggy? Ohh? Mmm! Hey, cut it out! Ohh! No! I miss him, too.
Nyah.
It doesn't make sense.
How does the gnome keep vanishing? Mr.
e.
? Hello, mystery, incorporated.
- Oh! - Listen to me, you creep.
If you know anything about what happened to shaggy well, it's lovely speaking to you, too, Velma.
I'm afraid I can't tell you where shaggy is, but I can tell you this begin your search at the end.
Enjoy the rest of the faire.
Begin at the end? Scooby! Hold on.
Truce.
I just want to know, where was the last place you saw shaggy? Hmm.
This was the last place I saw Raggy.
All right, gang.
You heard him.
Start looking.
- Way to go, danger-prone Daphne.
Hey, gang, check it out.
What are we waiting for? Raggy? Raggy! It's like a tree expressway up here.
We could walk all around the park and never be seen.
Looks like we found Mr.
Scary gnome's private highway.
And that means finally, it's trap time.
What are we going to use for scary gnome bait? The one thing a scary gnome can't resist A pirate.
Remember, Scooby, you're doing this for shaggy.
- Scooby-Dooby-arrgh! Is Daphne back yet? She said something about needing bracelets.
We're all set.
Hmm? Hmm.
Phew.
Huh? He's making a run for it! Let's cut him off! Come on, Scooby! Wait for me! Fred? Velma? Daphne? Raggy! - Scooby-Doo! Like, am I ever glad to see you! Likewise! Whoa! Oof! Hmm! I figured if the toxin is passed by touch, let him touch some steel.
Ahh.
Frolicking in her majesty's filth pit, are ye? Begone from there, you miserable pirates.
He's headed toward the entrance! Stop that gnome! Ow! Oof! Now let's see who you really are.
The court fool? That's my husband, Gill Littlefoot! What did you think you were doing, fool? What I've wanted to do for years frame you for the gnome attacks.
And once you were out of the way, take your fortune for my own.
Ow! Will you stop that? But you're too tall.
How could you ever be the gnome? There's a reason our family name is Littlefoot.
I planned this over a year.
And while I've always hid my tiny legs, this finally provided me a way to make them useful.
Since Amanda's dislike of pirates was well known, I planted her earring on a victim, hoping to throw suspicion her way.
I used my toxin-coated gloves to paralyze all the pirates, but you would not quit.
The beautiful part is that because of my I believe the medical term is baby legs.
No one would have ever suspected me.
That is, until you meddling, gnome-hating, pirate-loving yeah, yeah, shrimpo, we got the picture.
All these years, you've looked down on me.
Now it turns out I'm actually taller than you.
Ow.
Let's go, little footy.
Boy, I had big plans for him! Thanks for nothing again.
Anytime, pop.
Still a couple of hours before closing.
Who's up for tossing some alms at the poor? I'm buying.
- Arrgh, like, peg-leg shaggy could go for another round of clam cotton candy.
What say ye, dogbeard? - I say Scooby-Dooby-arrgh! I so sympathize with what you're feeling, but seriously, trust your heart.
I will.
Good luck.
To both of us.
Fred Jones, don't you dare throw anything at the poor without me.
Hey, dude.
Watch it.
Huh? Jerkweed, you dropped something.
"Don't give up.
This has all happened before.
" What has happened before?
