ADAM BLACK_KNIGHT BOTH_HUNTERS CHARLIE DAPHNE FRED GHOST KYLE SCOOBY_DOO SCOOBY_GANG SHAGGY TREASURE_HUNTER_1 TREASURE_HUNTER_2 VAMPIRE VELMA WAND VELMA Whoa... DAPHNE Whoa... SHAGGY Whoa... SCOOBY DOO Whoa... VELMA Slow down, Fred. We want to get there in one piece. FRED We’re already late. It’s the grand re-opening of the Grimsley Mansion, and we would’ve been there by now if someone didn’t have to stop us for takeout. SCOOBY DOO Two someones. SHAGGY Like, let’s dig in! SHAGGY Whoa... SCOOBY DOO Whoa... DAPHNE Fred, the mansion’s been there for over a hundred years. It’s not going away. FRED I’m just anxious to take a crack at finding its secret treasure. Maybe we’ll even see the ghost! SCOOBY DOO Ghost? SHAGGY Ghost? VELMA It’s supposedly haunted. SHAGGY We better eat up, Scoob. This might be our last meal. SHAGGY Whoa...Like these sandwiches could use a seatbelt. ADAM You may have recognized Grimsley Mansion from several movie productions. ADAM There are even films on its founder: Augustus Grimsley. Fascinating man. ADAM For example: Did you know that he was a Roman History buff, an amateur astrologist and a scratch bowler? TREASURE HUNTER 2 Who cares about all that stuff? What about the treasure? TREASURE HUNTER 1 Yeah. And what about the ghost that haunts this place? ADAM Gentlemen, there is no real evidence that there even IS a treasure OR-- BOTH HUNTERS A Ghost! GHOST WoooooooooOOooooOOO! TREASURE HUNTER 2 Please don’t haunt my dreams! TREASURE HUNTER 1 Please don’t drink my blood! VAMPIRE Oh, dear, we didn’t mean to scare you that much. I’m Charlie Grimsley and that’s my brother Kyle. We’re your hosts! GHOST Hi there. Enjoying your stay? VAMPIRE We figured folks would expect a little scare while they’re looking for our great, great grandfather’s treasure. TREASURE HUNTER 1 So this is all a hoax? TREASURE HUNTER 2 What’s going on here? VAMPIRE I told you this was a terrible idea Kyle. The guests want real treasure not fake spooks. GHOST But there is no treasure Charlie. TREASURE HUNTER 1 What do you mean no treasure? VAMPIRE My brother is just kidding. There may be a treasure, but nobody’s ever found it yet. Maybe you will. Then, join us for breakfast. GHOST Yeah. There’s a waffle bar! TREASURE HUNTER 1 I wasn’t really scared. TREASURE HUNTER 1 At least we’re done with that lecture. TREASURE HUNTER 2 Look at that. TREASURE HUNTER 2 Hey, the treasure could be inside. TREASURE HUNTER 2 Pulling some more tricks again, eh? TREASURE HUNTER 1 Uh, Phil, I don’t think he’s kidding! CHARLIE No, come back! DAPHNE Fred, look out! SCOOBY GANG Woah! FRED Is everyone okay? DAPHNE Now we’re gonna have to find the treasure, to pay for the Mystery Machine. WANDA Hi-dee-ho there, travelers. Looks like you got yourself a smidgen of car trouble. WANDA Wanda Grimsley. Grounds keeper, mechanic and Jill-of-all-trades. I can handle this. FRED You can fix the Mystery Machine? WANDA Well, I think I’m gonna upgrade you from a smidgen to a skootch. But not to worry, I’ll get her purring by morning. WANDA Meanwhile my cousins can take care of you. SCOOBY DOO Monsters! CHARLIE What? Oh, right. Sorry. CHARLIE You see? It’s all just for fun. Come on in! Welcome to Grimsley Mansion. DAPHNE They were frightened by a suit of armor? CHARLIE Yes, it’s so silly. Their imaginations must’ve run away with them. KYLE The Black Knight, it’s gone! CHARLIE What do you mean gone? KYLE I mean it’s gone. It ran away. This whole thing’s been a disaster. There’s no treasure and I never should’ve... CHARLIE Kyle, please! Customers...? KYLE Oh, sorry. VELMA Maybe we should hear more about this Black Knight. ADAM I might be able to help you there. CHARLIE Oh, this is Adam, our house historian. VELMA Is that a Menza Honors Pin? ADAM Why, yes. Yes, it is. VELMA It’s very impressive. ADAM You think? FRED Ah the uh story? ADAM Yes, the story. Well it’s all part of the “The Legend of Grimsley Mansion.” 67 ADAM In the late 1800’s Augustus Grimsley was a prospector. ADAM A very lucky prospector. ADAM Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams and not trusting banks... ADAM He decided to build a huge mansion, where he would hoard his gold. CHARLIE He also gave into his rapacious appetite for furnishings and antiquities... CHARLIE Including his prize purchase, a beautiful suit of black armor. ADAM But all this wealth would take its toll. ADAM Late at night, Gus Grimsley started to hear noises. ADAM Clanking noises. It could only have been... ADAM The suit of armor marching down the halls. ADAM The next day he found out why. ADAM The armor was once worn by the Black Knight... ADAM Who tried to steal his king’s riches. ADAM But he was caught and thrown into a dungeon, never to be seen again. ADAM Augustus was convinced the Black Knight was now after his gold. ADAM He had the armor taken away but he still feared the Black Knight would return one day. ADAM So he hid the treasure vowing, “Though the ghost may search forever, it’s my family that shall find. It’s only a matter of time.” DAPHNE Will you guys stop fooling around? SHAGGY Like, sorry. We’re just hungry. SCOOBY DOO Yeah, hungry. CHARLIE Kyle, why don’t you take them to the dining room. We have an allyou- can-eat buffet. SHAGGY They had an all you can eat buffet. SCOOBY DOO Yeah. FRED I don’t understand. If the Black Knight was in storage, how did it get back here? CHARLIE Wanda brought it back, in her obsession to turn this place into a museum. WANDA And what’s wrong with that? It’s not like the treasure hunt is bringing in the crowds. Excuse us. “Family squabbles.” CHARLIE What do you want Wanda? WANDA Well, it would sure would make my life a lot easier if we could take those heavy boxes out of the van. FRED Oh, those are my monster traps. Wanda smirks toward Charlie as she asks Fred. WANDA Will any of them catch a ghost? DAPHNE Since we’re staying, might as well get the luggage. ADAM Why don’t I show you around? This place has such a splendid history. VELMA That would be sweet... good! That would be good. SHAGGY Like, thanks for the buffet And the midnight snack, Kyle. KYLE What does it matter if we’re out of food? We don’t seem to be getting anymore customers. My brother thought the lure of a treasure would bring everyone, and it’s only brought disaster. KYLE Look out! SHAGGY Like what was that? KYLE A booby trap. Our great, great granddad put in a bunch. Wanda’s been trying to remove them. SHAGGY Like, Scoob, you almost saw stars. SCOOBY DOO Yeah, big ones. KYLE This whole place is a trap. Get out while you can. SCOOBY DOO He seems so sad. SHAGGY Yeah, like isn’t it funny how sadness can sometimes make you hungry? SCOOBY DOO Yeah. SCOOBY DOO Pretzel? SCOOBY DOO It’s the Black Knight! SCOOBY DOO Shaggy, come on! SHAGGY Come on Scoob. Let’s get out of here. SHAGGY Phew, I think we lost him, Scoob. SCOOBY DOO Yeah, and look what I picked up. SHAGGY Like halvsies, right, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal? SHAGGY What was that? SCOOBY DOO Huh..where’s my sandwich? SHAGGY Maybe you ate it? SCOOBY DOO Maybe someone else ate it. SHAGGY Like, dude, no way. And that is my half. SHAGGY What happened to the rest of it? SCOOBY DOO I don’t know. SHAGGY I do. SCOOBY DOO Uh oh! SHAGGY Like, hugs are not gonna help. ADAM Even though Augustus chose a Victorian sensibility for the house, he included eccentric touches. Like the death traps. I hope I’m not being tiresome. VELMA Jinkies no. Coming from you it’s doesn’t sound boring at all. FRED Boo! It’s just me. FRED Hey did you guys find anything? DAPHNE I think they have, Fred, but it isn’t clues. WANDA You know my great great granddaddy did leave a clue to the treasure in his will. FRED So, there really is a treasure? WANDA Well Augustus was a bit of a kidder and crazy to boot. He said that the clue would smack you in the kisser when you saw it. And I know where I’d look for it - in his study. C’mon I’ll show you. And she leads them out. VELMA We’ll join you in a minute. I still want to explore the lobby. DAPHNE Yeah, uh-huh. ADAM I don’t think she thought you were serious. VELMA The truth is, Adam, I’d much rather spend a little more time with... ADAM Oh. That’s a painting by Augustus Grimsley. VELMA I didn’t know he was a painter. ADAM He wasn’t. This was the only picture he ever painted, right before he died. I suppose it has a certain primitive charm. What do you see? VELMA I see a clue. WANDA Here’s the study. DAPHNE Are those Roman gladiators? WANDA Yup, Uncle Augustus sure loved his Roman history. Well, I gotta keep working. Happy hunting. DAPHNE What’s wrong now? SHAGGY We’re being stalked by a hungry hibiscus! SCOOBY DOO And the Black Knight, too! FRED You saw the Black Knight? SHAGGY Yeah. Like someone’s got to tell that dude that knights are the good guys. FRED Oh no. The Romans are roaming. DAPHNE Woah! SCOOBY DOO Yi! FRED We’re locked in! FRED They’re running on tracks. If I could just time this right... FRED Ahh! VELMA Oh, there you are. Have I got something to show you! VELMA According to the position in the picture, this is Sirius, the Morning Star. DAPHNE Morning star? What could it mean? SCOOBY DOO We saw a star. A big star. SHAGGY Just down this hall. Here it is. SHAGGY Like, sorry? ADAM A morning star. That’s what they used to call a spiked club like this in medieval times. FRED Hey, there’s an opening. I can’t see anything. DAPHNE Wait, in the picture the star was shining, right? FRED Riiight. VELMA The key to the treasure! SHAGGY Like what do you hear, Scoob? FRED Check it out. It’s crazy old great granpa grimsley. SHAGGY Like there’s something written here. “This thing runs but can not walk. Sometimes sings but never talks. Lacks Arms, has hands. Lacks a head but has a face.” DAPHNE It’s a riddle! FRED That’s not very funny. VELMA Let’s see. It runs and it sings. ADAM And it have a face and hands. VELMA A clock! ADAM A clock! DAPHNE Jeepers. Didn’t Augustus also say something about “Tis only a matter of time.” FRED It’s in the clock tower! C’mon! SHAGGY Like, don’t worry, buddy. I’ll find a ladder. FRED I don’t see any door that fits this key. VELMA Maybe it’s not for a door, Fred. Maybe it’s a key to the clock. FRED Aha. It fits. DAPHNE The clock hands are moving. FRED It’s unlocked. ADAM You did it! You found it! VELMA We found it. FRED Hey! DAPHNE No! FRED We’re trapped. SHAGGY Like I hope there’s a snack machine up there... ‘Cause this’s one long climb. SHAGGY Like time to net the Knight, Scoob. SHAGGY Over there, Scoob! SCOOBY DOO Yikes! SHAGGY Dude, what’re you doing? SCOOBY DOO Black Knight! SHAGGY Oh, no! SCOOBY DOO Hmmm? Bye-bye. SHAGGY Scooby I can’t see! FRED It worked. These bars are worth their weight in gold. SHAGGY Like, do you think we lost him? SHAGGY Hey, Scoob, does this hallway look familiar? SHAGGY Yeah. SHAGGY Uh, oh. Like, I think he knows. BLACK KNIGHT Huh? Oh no. DAPHNE You did it, you caught the Black Knight! FRED What is that? WANDA No, Eugene! Come here. Who’s a good flytrap? Who’s a good baby boy? You are, yes you are. He’s harmless - one of Uncle Augustus’s exotic plants - raised him from a seed. Didn’t he, baby? Yes he did! VELMA Okay, now let’s see who the Black Knight really is. SHAGGY Like, it’s nobody? VELMA It’s somebody alright. CHARLIE Kyle? Good heavens! What’s going on? DAPHNE It’s pretty evident, Charlie. Your brother wanted all the gold for himself. VELMA That’s why he was so insistent that there was no treasure. And when Wanda brought the Black Knight armor back to the mansion, he saw his opportunity to scare away anyone who might come looking for the gold. KYLE And my plan would’ve worked, too, if it hadn’t been for you meddling kids, and your dog. And that stupid plant! WANDA Oh, you’re not stupid. Don’t you listen to him. Don’t you do it. CHARLIE You know deep down I never believed there was a real treasure, but since you found it, I guess you should be the ones to have it. FRED That’s okay, Charlie. We know it belongs to your family. We’re just happy to have found it. WANDA If you’re gonna be that generous, then the car repair is on the house! ADAM I want to come with you, Velma, I really do. But I can’t leave the mansion. They need me here. VELMA And my friends need me. Sometimes it’s such a curse to be the smart one. FRED We’re on our way, Velma. DAPHNE Where’s Scooby? SHAGGY Like he’s sharing his Scooby snacks with his new friend. SCOOBY DOO Scooby dooby doo!
