[snarls]
[roars]
[laughs]
[yells]
[roars]
[coughing]
Oh, excuse me.
I had something in my throat.
So can I still borrow
that cup of sugar?
Of course you can.
Oh.
-Thanks, B.
-No problem.
Bye-bye.
[trembling]
-Is that thing gone?
-Yes.
You can come out now, Chester.
Why are you so afraid
of Bunnicula's guests?
Yeah.
Because I am a cat of science.
And those supernatural things
don't make any sense.
Observe. Inertia makes sense.
Gravity makes sense.
Electricity makes sense.
Thank you, Thomas Edison.
All because of science!
Yeah, but then, how do you
explain Bunnicula?
Ta-da.
Well, um, that's easy.
According to British science fiction
author Arthur C. Clarke,
any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic.
Um
-I don't know.
-That's it.
I don't know why
I didn't consider it before.
Just as the scientists of old proved
that the Earth revolves around the sun,
I'm gonna prove that Bunnicula and all
his monster friends aren't supernatural.
and I'm gonna do it using science!
Huh?
Aw, jeez, sorry, I'm still here.
I miscalculated my exit.
If someone could just open
a window or a door
and nudge me gently in that direction,
that would just be so super.
[gibbering]
[Chester] Bunnicula, stop that.
But it's so much fun.
In order to get the best results,
I need to conduct my experiments
in a controlled environment.
That means no wacky shenanigans
from the two of you.
Harold, the stethoscope if you please.
For the record,
this is a wacky shenanigan.
No, that's a banana.
[Chester groans]
I will begin with a physical exam
of the subject.
As predicted, the subject displays
no sign of a heartbeat.
[whirring]
Wait, he does have a heartbeat?
[gibbering]
Hey, that's Mina's cellphone.
She's been looking everywhere for that.
-How did it get in your neck?
-I don't know.
Try again.
Nope, no heartbeat.
Now, why would he not have a heartbeat?
Me, me! Pick me! Pick me! Oh, over here!
Yes, Harold.
-Can I go to the bathroom?
-[groans]
No.
May I go to the bathroom?
What I'm trying to say, Harold, is that
most people might jump to conclusions
and assume
Bunnicula's a vampire, but not me.
I'm going to use science!
Let us begin.
-Say, "Ah."
-Ah!
[roars, and Chester gasps]
[Chester screams and bats screeching]
[yells]
[giggles then yells]
What do you think you're doing?
-Who do you think you are?
-[yells]
Huh?
That's it. I'm a genius.
What is it, Chester?
What have you discovered?
Because I haven't been able
to figure out anything from these notes.
Don't you see, Harold?
Just as corn can be used to power cars,
carrot juice is what powers Bunnicula.
-So Bunnicula is a car?
-Beep-beep.
Bunnicula being a car is ridiculous,
obviously.
He's a robot!
How did you come to that conclusion?
None of the experiments resulted in--
Shh!
Science.
Science looks a lot
like the basement ceiling.
[snoring and mumbling]
I love you.
[sneezes]
Hm
So, robot bunny, what is your purpose?
Who sent you here?
[yawns]
[gasps]
Aliens.
Now you're just jumping to conclusions.
Who else would be advanced enough
to build a robot spy?
[electricity crackling]
[gasps]
[screams]
Why did I have to be right?
Genius can be such a burden.
Okay, it's time to be brave.
You're gonna have to make contact
with Bunnicula's alien creators.
For science.
[yells]
Attention, alien life forms.
I am not the leader of this planet,
even though I probably should be.
Know that we come in peace.
I mean, you come in peace.
We were already here.
I mean, I hope you come in peace.
[beeping]
[disembodied voice]
We approach.
-[yells]
-We arrive tomorrow morning
in a four-hour window
between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.
-Huh?
-End transmission.
[snoring and mumbling]
So are the aliens here yet?
No. But it won't be long now.
These aliens might come in peace.
But they might also come in not peace.
You made me a hat? I didn't
make you anything. Is it hat day?
It's made of aluminum foil.
It might help keep Bunnicula
from reading your thoughts.
There's nothing more private
than a man's own thoughts.
[thinking]
I still need to go to the bathroom.
I also took the liberty
of gathering some supplies
in case we need
to fend off an alien attack.
[duck quacks]
[electricity crackles and Chester gasps]
Oh, no.
It's happening again.
[Chester gasping]
[disembodied voice]
We are here.
[both moaning]
[knocking on door]
If the aliens reduce the Earth
to a big ball of gray goo,
then I just want you to know
that I-- I love you, man.
Look, I don't want
to hurt your feelings,
but I'm already pretty in love
with turkey bacon.
[door rattles and both gasp]
You are the leader of planet Earth?
Well, no.
Probably should be,
but basically I'm just a house cat.
You will decide the fate of your planet.
Become our slaves
or we will destroy you.
No, you don't seem to understand.
I'm-- I'm not--
Choose.
All this time I've been afraid
of supernatural,
but science is even worse.
This is not science!
Wait, what?
Scientific method requires proof,
and you never obtained any proof.
You just jumped to conclusions.
-Excuse me?
-[Bunnicula laughing]
[continues laughing]
[laughing]
Wait a minute. Is this a--?
Bunnicula, did you prank me?
[Bunnicula and Harold laughing]
Harold? You were in on it?
No. No.
I'm just laughing because
everybody else is laughing,
[laughs] It's hysterical.
[laughing]
You're--
[chuckles] Yes.
I'm Thomas Edison's Ghost.
What? Why would you do this to me?
Well, Bunnicula came to me
for help with a prank,
and I owed him one after the whole
Nikola Tesla debacle.
In case you haven't read your history,
I can be a bit of a jerk sometimes.
[laughing]
I admire your spirit, Chester.
I dedicated a good part of my life
to the study of electricity,
and I still don't understand everything.
But you might. Someday. If you really
apply yourself, nothing is impossible.
Thanks, Mr. Edison's Ghost.
One day I will be able
to explain Bunnicula, with science!
With science!
With science.
[chuckles] Yeah, hi, it's me.
Still here. It's been four days.
I remember I got here, and it was Tuesday,
and now here we are.
Really would like to see my family
and maybe have some food, then--
Science!
