Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (1969) s01e09 Episode Script
The Backstage Rage
Say, Scooby, kind of a spooky night, huh? Yeah, spooky.
The aroma of this pizza is, like, driving me wild.
You wanna eat it now? Like, right this minute? - Yeah, yeah! - Man, this is gonna be delicious.
After all, we only had two blockbuster pizzas at the Pizza Palace.
That's hardly even a snack.
I always wanted to be a pizza chef.
Watch this.
Well, thanks for leaving my finger.
Maybe that's the gang in the Mystery Machine.
Hey, mister! You lost something! I guess he didn't hear me.
Let's go see what it is.
It's a violin case.
It feels kind of heavy.
Yeah, I know, and you never had a lesson in your life.
Holy moly! What's this? It's full of money! - There must be thousands of dollars.
- Millions.
- Here, hold this.
- Me? Yes, you.
Guard that while I go phone the gang.
Trouble.
What's wrong? It's gone! I goofed.
What happened, Scooby? Where's the violin case full of money? - I got you.
You put the case on the curb.
- Yeah.
Then what? - Girl dog.
- A girl dog with big eyelashes.
She was in trouble.
You put the violin case down and went over to see her.
And while you were gone, someone took the case.
- Show us where the girl dog was.
- Okay.
Here.
Let's look around.
There might be a clue.
It'd be better if we knew what we were looking for.
What's this? It's a puppet control.
I wonder what it's doing here.
Let me see it.
Something is written on this control.
"Pietro's Puppets.
" That must be the puppet show at the Strand.
- You think the other dog was a puppet? - Yeah, yeah.
So it was the girl-dog puppet that lured you away from the violin case.
- Right! Right! - We have ourselves a little mystery.
Let's examine the clues: A puppet dog, a violin case packs of brand-new bills.
Very strange.
They don't seem to hold together.
Unless - You've got it.
- That's it.
Counterfeiters! The thing to do is get in the Strand Theater and look around.
But how? How about getting an audition for a trained dog act? - "Trained dog"? - That's a great idea.
Trained dog? Don't look now, fans, but I think a star is about to be born.
- There's someone inside.
- Likely a watchman or a doorman.
Look, he's working a puppet.
Could be another clue for us, all right.
Let's go inside.
- Hello.
- Well, hello.
What can I do for you? We're inquiring about arranging an audition for our trained dog.
He's a great talent.
Do a bit, Scooby.
Well, that was pretty good.
What do you say, Johnny? No.
Sorry, chum, but you can't work this show unless you're a puppet.
- You're very good.
You a puppet master? - No, I just fiddle with them as a hobby.
You're okay with me, Pop.
Well, you certainly seem professional.
Well, why not? The great Pietro has helped me.
How long have-? - What's with him? - Yeah, what's with you, Scooby-Doo? A witch! A witch! A witch? I get it.
One of the puppets scared you.
Okay, let me up.
- You'll have to excuse him.
- That's okay.
I'll go put Johnny away.
Shaggy, look.
Look what I got.
A brand-new bill, just like in the violin case.
Quick, hide it.
- Now, about that audition- - Not right now.
We've really got to go.
- What? - What's the rush? Freddy's right.
We really gotta go.
Well, we sure enjoyed the puppets.
Goodbye.
Anytime.
Anytime.
Goodbye.
Well, why the rush? We didn't get a chance to look for clues.
- Show them the clue, Shaggy.
- It was in the doorman's desk drawer.
- A brand-new $20 bill.
- And I'll bet you a doughnut it's a phony.
- It sure looks real.
- Let's change it into a blockbuster pizza.
Yeah! Be serious.
My expert opinion on the authenticity of this bill is: - It's absolutely genuine.
- That 20 was planted to throw us off? - How come? - Yeah, like, why? To make us think nothing fishy was going on there.
So we wouldn't think of going back.
- I get it.
But now what do we do? - We go back.
Oh, no.
We're in luck.
The doorman's asleep.
Come on, the door's unlocked.
Let's give this stage a good going-over.
- What are we looking for? - Clues, of course.
Any kind of clues.
Why not start here in the clues closet? Nope.
Nothing here.
Shaggy, that's the worst joke I ever heard.
Be serious, you guys.
Let's split up and start searching.
Everybody know the signal? - Do you know the signal, Scooby? - Sure.
- Quiet.
- Sorry.
Yeah, like, watch it.
You stay close to Scooby.
We don't want any more noise.
Okay? Let's go.
Wow.
There's a lot of searching to do around these old sets.
- We better split up and look around.
- Right.
Don't forget, if you see anything suspicious bark three times.
- Scoob, watch what you bump into.
- I didn't do it.
A guy could get hurt around here.
Come on, let's look somewhere else.
Gee, Velma, I wish we had a clue to a clue.
Don't worry, Daphne.
If we stick around here, we're bound to find something.
Wow, we almost got hit by that sandbag! Yeah, I guess the rope must have broke.
Broke, nothing.
Look.
It's been cut with a knife.
And ropes don't cut themselves.
- Let's look in the dressing room area.
- Okay, Shaggy.
There should be a lot of junk in here to check over.
- Let's browse around here a bit.
- Right.
- What's with you, Scooby-Doo? - He's after me! - He's after you? - Yeah, yeah! It's only a jack-in-the-box.
- Stop clowning around and keep looking.
- Right.
Funny faces.
Hey, Scooby, check this.
Pretty heroic, huh? Yeah, yeah.
Watch this.
That's great.
Hold it a sec.
The cloaked cavalier.
That's a doozy.
- There were two of you! - There were two of me? I don't get it.
Give me.
- Two of you.
- You saw somebody dressed like me? - Yeah, yeah.
- Let's get out of here! I wish I knew what we were looking for.
- We'll know when we find it.
- Yeah, if we find it.
Daphne.
Velma.
Come over here.
I saw him! He was in that prompter's box! Run! Get out of here! - There's a guy in a black cape around.
- He was in that prompter's box.
We ought to see what's in there.
Right, Scooby? Not me.
Here's a Scooby Snack.
No strings attached.
Just catch.
Dirty trick.
What's down there, Scooby? - Violin cases.
- Violin cases? Well, come on.
Let's get down below stage.
Quick.
- What now? They're all empty.
- Not even violins in them.
Maybe this thing is a wild-goose chase.
How about that man in the black cape? Explain him.
And Scooby, he saw that man in the black too, didn't you? Somebody's playing the big organ on the stage.
- He's gone! - It must have been our imagination.
Well, that was the first time I ever heard mine.
- What was that? - I don't like looking for clues anymore.
That's the one.
Look, Scooby has a dog puppet.
So this is the canine Mata Hari.
What's sticking out of that puppet's stuffing? What a clue! It's the front engraving plate for a $20 bill.
Time to wake that doorman up and tell him what's going on.
Good idea.
Let's go.
Mr.
Doorman, wake up! Wake up! Come on, wake up! It- It- - He's a puppet too! - That's all for me, fans.
We're locked in! But good.
But we've got to get out with this important clue.
- There goes the plate, our only clue! - What will we do now? We're going back to that violin case room and give it another going-over.
- Okay, how do we start? - Look for something out of the ordinary.
Take a good look around.
- That harp case could hide something.
- I wonder if it's empty too.
It's sure not empty.
It's got a whole room in it! Wow! We hit the jackpot.
Look at that printing press! And all those new $20 bills on the table.
You were right, Freddy, it's a big counterfeit operation.
It's him! - Yipes! - Double yipes! Let's get out of here! There's a door up ahead! You know my secret! - Golly! Where's that voice coming from? - In this tunnel.
Who knows? It's a dead end! This ladder's our only way.
But I can't see where it goes.
We got no choice.
Start climbing.
- Where are we? - I'm not sure.
You have learned my secret.
Now you can never go! Come on, think of something.
Look, one man isn't too heavy.
If we all push together - maybe we can throw him off.
- Okay, let's go.
Where did he go? - Where are we? - Back on the stage.
Careful, everybody.
He's around here some place.
Wait for me.
- Wait a minute.
- Me, wait? Why? There's nothing to be afraid of.
Remember the doorman? - He was a life-sized puppet, wasn't he? - Yes.
- What do you think these are? - You're right: Puppets.
Then there must be a puppet master.
- There he is! We've got to catch him! - Look at Scooby-Doo! How do you like that? Old Scooby-Doo's got him on the run! Good work, Scooby! I'll give you a hand! You deserve a lot of credit.
This town's been flooded with phony 20s for weeks.
It was nothing, really.
But old Mr.
Pietro, posing as the doorman, sure had us fooled for a while.
He gave himself away when he put on his puppet show for us.
The real hero is Scooby-Doo.
By the way, where is he? Oh, no.
Look at him.
Like I said before, what a ham.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
The aroma of this pizza is, like, driving me wild.
You wanna eat it now? Like, right this minute? - Yeah, yeah! - Man, this is gonna be delicious.
