Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated (2010) s02e05 Episode Script
The Hodag of Horror
Previously on Mystery Inc.
The planispheric disk.
There are 6 pieces.
Where are the other 5? The curse of the haunted treasure, an ancient fortune left behind by the conquistadors.
The third piece of the planispheric disk.
We found it! And it now appears that Pericles is on the verge of discovering it.
Two down, 4 to go.
If he does, it could well mean the end of crystal cove.
See, I'm learning you.
That's how you play checkers.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Our long wait is over.
I, gene Shepherd, deliver unto your awaiting hungry minds my very own traveling cabinet of curiosities.
Enter and be amazed.
Hee hee hee.
Like, I don't know about you, Scooby-Doo, but I feel like I'm walking through one of my nightmares.
Any and all of you good citizens that suffer neurological disorders of any kind must leave immediately.
Huh? Straight from the primitive wilds of Wisconsin, that exotic land of calf tans and cheese, I give you the Hodag of Horror! Like, hold on.
That has to be the fakest-lookin' monster I have ever seen.
Huh? I knew it was fake all the time.
Come on, Scoob, let's get out of here.
This place is a rip-off.
Uhh.
But we didn't pay to get in here.
Oh, yeah.
Hee hee hee.
Huh? Aah! Scooby-Dooby-Doo! Fred, I know it must be something of a shock for you to have your parents back in your life.
Your real parents.
Thanks, Judy.
You're welcome, Brad.
So we'd like to throw the floor open to any questions you might have.
Anything at all.
Well, there is one thing.
Why? Why did you stay away so long? Why didn't you come back for me? To protect you, Fred.
Mayor Jones was far too dangerous.
He threatened to do you harm.
Bodily harm.
Yes.
Thanks, Judy.
He threatened to you bodily harm if we came back.
We're so sorry.
We really are.
It's ok.
I mean, you were just looking out for me, right? Well, you should know your Freddy is an extraordinary trap maker.
Like, yeah.
He's the best.
An expert.
Oh, really? Judy and I do a little something with traps ourselves.
We dabble.
Have any of you heard of sternum and sternum? Sure.
They're famous.
A husband and wife team of trap-making mystery solvers.
They invented the Flautnower 8000.
Wait.
Hold the phone.
You mean you're the sternums? We keep our identities private because we're not in it for the glory.
We just want to help mankind by ridding it of things that are hard to catch with ordinary traps.
Oh, look who decided to wake up.
Nova.
Ahh.
Say, anyone ever tell you a pup could get lost in eyes like those? Hello? Oh.
Hello, Daisy.
What?! You're kidding me.
A horrible monster almost annihilated you? That's wonderful.
We'll be right over.
So this creature wasn't exactly trying to hurt you, it just robbed you? Come on, Velma.
There's nothing here for us.
Let's go.
What did it steal, Daisy? Two items.
An expensive Ruby necklace that was given to me by my wealthy neurosurgeon fiance.
Daph, you and your trap maker must come over for polo.
Yes, we must.
The other item was just a cheap bell necklace I had lying around.
The one I gave you for your birthday? That was from you? Oh, darling, I miss it already.
Ugh! Velma, let's go.
Daisy, I'll see you tonight at mom and dad's party.
That is, unless you get attacked again.
Hold on, Daphne.
One more question.
Daisy, can you give us a description of the creature? I certainly can, Thelma.
Velma.
Don't care.
Fred, can I ask you a question? You just did.
Ha ha ha! I love that one.
Sure thing.
Go ahead, Scoob.
Uh, I have this friend and he thinks he might be in love with Wait.
Is this a love question? Uh-huh.
And you're asking me for advice? Ha ha.
Come on, Scoob.
That is good.
Velma, what would you do if you thought, well, you might be in love? Try to snap out of it and dump the slacker before he had a chance to break my heart and crush what few dreams I had left.
Ok.
Mr.
Fussbuster, as part of the order, mother would like to have the cheese delivered early so it can acclimate to our ballroom.
Your mother is a true connoisseur of le fromage.
Please let her know what an honor it is for me to be catering her party.
Ahh.
Very good.
Ooh.
Raggy, look, the Hodag.
What? This is the creature that Daisy said attacked her in her bedroom.
Why, that's the stuffed animal we saw in the curio wagon.
Curio wagon? Like, meet the Hodag.
Number one attraction of gene Shepherd's traveling cabinet of curiosities.
That can't be the thing that attacked Daisy.
It's so fake.
The Hodag is a master of deception, lulling its victims into a false sense of security - before attacking.
- Yeah, right.
What's in the high security box, Mr.
Shepherd? Something very Very valuable.
I only open that box once a year.
Like, why? It needs to breathe.
You dimwit.
Mwah.
Can you say suspicious? - Suspicious.
- Suspicious.
Whoa.
Uhh! Cover your eyes.
- My eyes! - Uhh! Oops! Well, I'm not exactly sure what I should do about this little escapade.
As far as I know, there's no law in the books against a curio coming to life and going crazy.
What's this Hodag thing supposed to do anyway? Basically, it's a dangerous creature that tried to attack me.
Oh, and it eats dogs.
- What?! - Eats dogs, you say? Any chance it's particularly fond of talking dogs? All right, knock it off, you two.
He started it.
I did not.
Whatever.
Good luck, Hodag bait.
Ha! Well, since this has solved nothing, I'm gonna go back inside and see what I can salvage of my curio wagon.
Don't worry, you're still safe.
Roberto! What am I not seeing when I look at that empty platter? Cheese! Fetch some more quickly, before the Blakes discover we've made such an egregious error.
Your parents have gone to a lot of trouble with all this, Daphne.
It's just their way of saying they're glad you're back.
Never thought we'd hear those words coming out of their mouths.
Shh.
Let's enjoy our reunion.
Um, excuse me, Fred's real mom.
I think I have something that belongs to you.
I wanted to give it back, sort of a welcome home present.
My locket? Where did you Oh, thank you, Daphne.
I am so happy my boy has someone like you in his life.
Yeah.
Hmm? Ooh.
Heh.
Hee hee hee.
What's wrong with you? Like, I'm bummed because there's all this free chow and my best chowing buddy's more interested in some female than doing a smackdown on the cheese buffet.
Payback, thy name is nova.
Like, touché.
Huh? Look at all that gorgeous cheese.
Huh? What the? Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Ooh! Ahh! Aah! Nova, where are you? Nova! No! We've been robbed.
- My ring! - It stole my necklace.
- And my earrings.
- My wallet.
- My watch.
- My pearls.
My man broach.
Ohh! Like, look at all that loot.
There's Daisy's necklace.
I think we found our bad guy.
What are you kids doing in here? Sheriff, I'm innocent.
Save it, Shepherd.
I've impounded all of your loot and your curio doohickeys.
One of the perks of my job.
This is how it works.
I impound, and after 30 days, I keep.
It's supposed to be evidence.
Listen here, miss fancy Nancy goody pants, I can do anything I want because I'm sheriff Bronson stone.
And this is all my stuff.
Even this stupid puzzle box which doesn't seem to have any use whatsoever.
Boring! Who the heck can that be? No such science! Weirdo.
Like, it sure was nice of mayor nettles to reward us for stopping that bad Wisconsin man by giving us our very own mystery incorporated office in the city hall basement.
Right, pal? Why's it say "junk room"? Because it's full of junk.
Come on, gang, let's start cleaning.
It doesn't make sense.
How come we didn't find nova? Scooby's right.
There's something very wrong with this picture.
Yep.
And I have a hunch it has something to do with the bells that rang before the Hodag attacked.
Hey, that's right.
I heard bells before that creepy creature snagged Scooby-Doo's girlfriend.
There's a history of using bells to train animals, so I looked into it.
Check it out.
Gang, I believe this mystery is starting to come together.
This is dumb.
Let's just say the mystery is solved and you and I can split all this confiscated loot.
Shh.
Smart chick to scarf boy.
The Hodag took the bait.
Roger that, smart girl.
Scarf boy out.
Hmph.
Next time I pick the code names.
Smoking hottie to scarf boy.
The Hodag took whatever was in the chest.
Should be coming your way.
Let's get ready.
Now! Ha! Got it.
He was stealing this wheel of old cheese.
Now let's see who the Hodag really is.
All: Roberto! Where's my nova? Hold on.
All: A monkey? That's right.
My monkey.
Nobody moves or the dog gets it.
Nova! Mr.
Fussbuster, please, don't hurt nova.
Why are you doing this? It all started back when I was a sailor working the trade boats in Indonesia.
I learned you could train a monkey to steal.
So that's just what I did.
I trained Roberto using bells and used him to build up my fortune.
When I rang a bell, he would start taking valuable objects.
But he became bell crazy.
Started stealing bells, too.
It drove me insane, all of those bells.
And he not only brought home the bells, but whatever were attached to them.
You don't know how many cats and cows and hunchbacks he brought home with him.
But it was all worth it, as we were just about to steal the 500-year-old cheese you have in your hand.
Yes.
It was made right here in crystal cove by a master Spanish cheesemaker.
It's priceless.
And with its theft, I could have finally retired to the Netherlands, where they really enjoy cheese properly.
But why the Hodag? Shepherd's security was unbreakable.
I needed the key.
Seemed the best way to get it.
Now, toss the cheese up here and she won't get hurt.
Here, Fussbuster.
Fetch.
Nova! Oh! Oh! Oh! And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those bells.
The bells! The bells! Here's your cheese, Mr.
Shepherd.
No, you kids keep it.
It's cracked.
Cracked and worthless! Worthless! Sorry you lost your prized possession.
I bet you wish you'd never stopped here.
Why did you come to crystal cove, Mr.
Shepherd? We don't get many attractions like yours here.
It was the cheese.
The cheese told me to come here.
Look.
Huh? Huh? Well, what do you want? What? I don't want anything.
Then why'd you set up a meeting? It wasn't me.
I thought you two set it up.
- No.
- Not us.
- Then who did? - I did.
The little evil bird in the tree branch.
I asked you all here to discuss a matter of great importance.
Newspaper on the bottom of your cage need changing again? It would appear the kids in the new mystery incorporated have obtained the third and now the fourth piece of the planispheric disk.
- No.
- Yes.
This cannot continue.
And as such, I have a little proposition for all of you.
The planispheric disk.
There are 6 pieces.
Where are the other 5? The curse of the haunted treasure, an ancient fortune left behind by the conquistadors.
The third piece of the planispheric disk.
We found it! And it now appears that Pericles is on the verge of discovering it.
Two down, 4 to go.
If he does, it could well mean the end of crystal cove.
