My Imaginary Fiend

(SNARLS)
(GROWLS)
(LAUGHS)
MINA'S DAD: Hey, Mina, look
what I found in the basement.
It's a box of your old stuff.
Aw, Dad, this stuff
is embarrassing.
"World's Best Tromboner."
(SIGHS DEJECTEDLY)
Check out this
old photo album.
Here you are with your
imaginary friend. (CHUCKLES)
Remember Hamburger Cheese?
Oh Hamburger Cheese.
He was my best friend
before you guys came along.
Best imaginary friend.
Oh, it's been so long,
I forgot all about him.
Hamburger Cheese
was a gentleman prankster.
(SIGHS) I remember we
loved pulling pranks on Dad.
Like when we replaced
his toothpaste with
super-hot horseradish.
Or how about when
we "helped" him with
the backyard sprinklers.
The old "plastic wrap
over the doorway" gag.
Taking Dad to
the emergency room.
(SIGHS) Yep, we used
to do everything together.
He was my best
friend in the whole world.
Yeesh, Mina was
a lonely child.
Look, Mina,
here's some video from
your fifth birthday.
Alone? Again?
Uh, I mean
With Hamburger Cheese?
(CHUCKLES) That was the year
I got you guys as pets.
Ah, the memories.
Oh, Hamburger Cheese.
I wonder where you could be.
(YAWNING)
(SCREAMING)
(HUMMING)
Huh? (YELLS)
(MUMBLING)
(GROANS)
All right, where is he?
Where's Bunnicula?
Did he prank you too?
-Meh.
-Ugh!
(MUMBLES ANGRILY)
You.
What's the matter with you?
Pulling pranks like that?
Horseradish on my toothbrush?
Really? I could have
gotten hot tonsillitis.
That's a real thing
I just made up.
And look at Harold.
You made him damp, Bunnicula.
-Damp!
-Me?
(MUMBLING)
Oh, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
This isn't my fault.
You're the mischievous one.
Oh, man, what a day!
It's like everything's
going my way.
And to top it all off,
this $50 bill just
flew into my pocket.
Somebody must be
looking out for me.
How was your day?
Great!
All right, something weird
is going on here.
Weirder than usual.
I've taken the liberty of
creating a flow chart
to find exactly what it is
that's haunting us
every time something
strange happens.
Let's see. Ghosts, no.
Demons? No. Swamp magic? No.
Bikini lobster? (GROANS)
This is useless.
This menace defies
all categories.
You know how I get
when things don't
fit into categories.
Guys, the cause of
this is right over there.
Don't you see him?
(LAUGHS) He's laughing at us.
Uh, you talking
about the door?
No, it's Mina's
imaginary friend,
Hamburger Cheese.
You can't see him?
He's got a beak
like an eagle
and big round eyes
with four frog legs.
Four flippers, four thighs,
an Old Navy peacoat,
and a stovepipe hat.
There's only one fellow
that looks like that.
You won't see his equal
from here to Belize.
Your old pal,
the one they call
Hamburger Cheese.
(BOTH BLOWING RASPBERRY)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
-(DOOR SLAMS)
-(GASPS)
Aw, he went away.
I'm going to go sit
in that sunbeam.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
You think he's right?
(MUMBLING)
But why is it that Harold can
see him and we can't?
Is he some kind of a genius?
(GASPS)
(LAUGHS)
Oh, I forgot to breathe.
(GASPS) That's it.
Harold thinks like a child.
That's how Mina was able
to see Hamburger Cheese
when she was young.
Bunnicula, to see this thing
we have to get childish.
Simple, silly.
To stop this creature,
we have to go full Harold.
(FLY BUZZING)
Hey buddy, what's going
on in your world?
What are we looking at here?
Watching for inflatable Bob.
Uh, sure.
Okay, what does he look like?
I don't know. Never seen him.
What exactly are
we going to
(SNORING)
(BARKING)
You guys going to get some
of this tasty beverage?
(SLURPING)
Huh?
(GROANING)
Look guys,
a fleet of Spanish galleons.
Uh
Hmm
Wow. (EXCLAIMS)
(MUMBLING)
Bunnicula, you did it.
Now, jump on your Sky Dragon
and let's have some fun.
Woo-hoo.
Sky Dragons?
-What?
-HAROLD: Woo-hoo.
(EXCLAIMING CHEERFULLY)
(LAUGHING)
(MUMBLING)
Yeah, and you were like,
and I was all (EXCLAIMS)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
But how do you do it?
How do you see
Hamburger Cheese?
Well, Chester,
sometimes I use
my imagination goggles.
Like this.
Oh
(LAUGHS)
See? (LAUGHS)
(GASPS)
-(GROWLS)
-There he goes.
Couldn't you have chased him
into a less creepy location?
Mina's old stuff is
all over the place.
(THUDS)
Hmm
HAROLD: Hey, our faces
are crossed out.
CHESTER: (SCOFFS) For you,
that's an improvement.
HAROLD: What does it say
on the back?
It must have been written
by Hamburger Cheese.
"Mina remembered me,
that's why I've returned."
What?
Hamburger Cheese is saying
because Mina remembered him
he's come back.
I know.
"But her three animal friends,
her friendships unearned."
-That's us.
-I know!
"Rather than prank them
and be cruel,
"I challenge the bunny
to an imagination duel."
Oh, my gosh.
He He just
challenged Bunnicula
to an imagination duel.
BOTH: We know!
And, now we're trapped.
Hi! (GROANS)
(GROWLS)
(EXCLAIMING)
(PANTING, YELLS)
(GROANS)
Bunnicula's powers,
they're not working.
Bunnicula, remember
Hamburger Cheese
is imaginary.
You have to use
your imagination.
(ECHOING) Imagination.
Imagination. Imagination.
Your eyes can see me,
you are no fool.
We'll see if you are worthy
of Mina's friendship
in this imagination duel.
-Huh?
-That sounded better
in my head.
Huh!
What's he doing with that
old roll of wrapping paper?
He's Believing.
(CHUCKLES)
A fiery sword, ooh,
that's imaginative, Bunny.
But swordplay with me?
Now that's pretty funny.
Uh-oh!
Oh, oh! The brutality.
-Oh, I can't watch.
-What! Where?
(YELLS)
(GROANS)
Hamburger Cheese
is too powerful.
This could be
the end of Bunnicula.
I don't understand.
There is nothing there.
That's the spirit, Chester.
What you're saying is,
"There is nothing there"
To be afraid of!
It's all in your
imagination, Bunnicula.
You have to imagine bigger.
Hmm (MUMBLING)
(GROWLS)
Uh, what just happened?
Oh, there he goes!
-(EXCLAIMS)
-HAROLD: Now, we'll see
this epic duel play out.
(WHOOSHING)
(MUFFLED GROAN)
Yes! Bunnicula's
rocket-powered carrot
is kicking his butt!
His what?
(GRUNTS)
Oh, no.
Now Hamburger Cheese
is on top
of a giant two-headed lizard,
that shoots
lasers from its eye.
Get them, boys!
(ROARING)
-Where?
-Ooh.
But Bunnicula is coming back.
He's piloting a giant robot
Abraham Lincoln.
(SHOUTS)
Whoa!
This battle is so epic!
This is definitely
Bunnicula's
greatest fight.
Uh
(EXCLAIMING) Boom!
Yay! We did it!
Bunnicula saved the day.
Uh Yay?
Yay!
(GROANS) It seems
I've met my match.
I've lost the duel
for Mina's friendship.
Alas, there's no going back.
Without a friend
to remember me,
I shall fade away.
Uh, guys, what are
we looking at?
Mina, your memories,
your imagination
kept me alive.
If only there were
a lonely pathetic soul to
help me survive and thrive.
Hmm
Who do we know that's
lonely and pathetic?
(GASPS)
(LAUGHS)
Have some more nachos.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, this is great.
Good buddies sharing
a special moment.
Only in America.
(LAUGHS)
Uh, who is he talking to?
(MUMBLING)
