[theme music playing]
[roaring]
[laughing]
[Arthur] One more screw and
all fixed up. [chuckles]
Oh! [shouts] Oh.
What is going on around here?
This whole apartment is falling apart.
Hey, Dad? I need some help
with this math problem.
Sure thing, Mina.
If a train leaves Topeka
at 5:32 p.m. traveling west,
and another train leaves
Los Angeles traveling east--
-[cell phone ringing]
-One second, Mina. Hello?
Hi, Ms. Polidori. What's that?
The building is falling apart?
Well, that's a problem.
-Whoa!
-[shouts]
Bunnicula. What did you do to bring
these guys here?
[dramatic music playing]
[speaking indistinctly]
Bunnicula says he didn't do anything,
something else is attracting the gremlins.
Okay, but why does everybody act
like they can't see them?
[Bunnicula speaking indistinctly]
[Harold] Oh, he says that's because
the humans can't see them.
Well, I guess we're switching
to paper plates.
Which is really too bad
because they're so cute.
Come on, little cutie guy.
Ow!
That really hurt. I called you cute.
-[phone rings]
-Hello? Ah, yes, Mr. Molesby?
Uh-huh. The elevator is stuck?
That's not funny.
Mina, I need you to stop by Polidori's
and let her know
I'll be by as soon as I can.
But, Dad, I really need your help
with this homework.
I know, Mina.
That's why I got you a nanny.
See you later.
A nanny? Dad, I'm too old for a nanny.
Nonsense, honey.
I had a nanny up until
I was 33 years old
and I turned out just fine. Ow.
-[thud]
-Oof.
-[thud]
-Ow!
[jingles]
Whoa!
Wow. Looks like a bomb went off in here.
Oh, it's you. When's your daddy going to
get down here and fix these problems?
He's busy with other repairs.
He'll be by as soon as he can.
What's that?
Oh, this is sage.
People burn it to purify the room.
I figure there must be some
bad vibes affecting the building.
Think I could get some
of that to ward off my nanny?
Did you say a nanny?
[gremlins screeching]
Is it just me or are there
a lot of gremlins in here?
[shouts, then gasps]
Ooh. Check it out.
I found this little dude in a jar
that looks like a root.
That's because it is a root, Harold.
A mandrake root.
Now, I think we have enough
problems on our hands already.
So put it away before Bunnicula
decides to eat it.
Bunnicula, no!
[purring]
No, no. Bunnicula, don't do it!
[belches]
Nothing happened.
Time to go, guys. Thanks for the sage,
Ms. Polidori.
Gonna go use this
before the nanny gets here.
[door opens, then bell jingles]
I think I've had enough.
Good. Looks like that nanny
isn't here yet.
Huh?
Oh. Hey, I didn't see you over there.
You must be the nanny? Mister?
Um, Mr [speaking indistinctly]
Mr. Person?
[speaking indistinctly]
Wow. That's some thick Cajun accent.
My name is Mina.
These are my pets, Chester, Harold,
and Bunnicula?
Hey
You look like
You look like
you could use a drink!
[groans]
[speaking indistinctly]
[both groan]
All right, come on in.
Well, I guess it's too late
to use this now.
[all growling]
Whoa. What was that about?
I guess the gremlins really like sage.
Maybe that's what's attracting
them to the building.
Nah.
It just doesn't make any sense to me.
I mean, what if one of the trains missed
its routinely
scheduled service appointments?
Mm [speaking indistinctly]
Your Cajun accent's pretty thick,
but I think I get what you're saying.
[speaking indistinctly]
You're right. I got the answer.
You know, you--
Wait a minute.
Those eyes, those ears,
that nose. You look like
you could totally be a model.
[groans]
You know, sooner or later,
Mina is gonna figure out her nanny
is actually her pet bunny.
If we could just get rid of these gremlins
then her Dad could spend
more time with her,
and she wouldn't need a nanny.
The gremlins really seem to like sage.
Why don't we just get some more
of that and lure them away?
We could do that.
Or we'll get more sage
from Polidori's shop
and use that to lure away the gremlins.
Oh! Yeah, no,
that's a totally better idea.
Come on, follow me.
Don't listen to me. I don't know anything.
[dramatic music playing]
Get back here you--
[Harold] Uh, Chester?
Follow me!
[shouting]
Wow, Mr. Person, you make math fun
and easy to understand.
[speaking indistinctly]
[Arthur] Oh, Mr. Person, can I get
your assistance with something?
Ah. Guess I didn't need a blow torch.
Let's see here.
Looks like the elevator's stuck
between the basement and the first floor.
[gremlins screeching]
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughing] That is some Cajun accent.
If I didn't know any better,
I would say you were saying
there are gremlins in here. [laughs]
Meh.
We'll lead them to the elevator.
[shouting]
Oh, hey, Mr. Person. Where's my Dad?
[Arthur] Mina, is that you, dear?
Dad? What are you doing down there?
I'm trying to free up the elevator,
of course.
Don't you think you should
call a professional for this?
-[elevator creaking]
-What was that?
[Arthur shouting]
-Ow!
-No, no, no, what do we do?
[speaking indistinctly]
Mr. Person, that's some Cajun accent,
but you're right.
This is exactly like my math homework.
I can do this.
Let's see. Calculate travel time,
place trains
with the elevator and its counter weight,
two divided by zero--
Did I skip breakfast?
Carry the one, and I know
how to save my dad.
All right, Mr. Person, when I give you
the signal, you release the counterweight.
[speaking indistinctly]
Dad, when I say "now," you count
to three and jump.
Oh, so the "now" you just said? So now?
No. Not "now" now, now later.
[chuckles] Uh-oh.
-[shouts]
-Okay, when I say it,
you count to three and jump.
[Arthur] You mean when you say "it"
or when you say "now"?
[groans] On my mark, Mr. Person.
Okay.
[dramatic music playing]
Okay!
One Mississippi,
two Mississippi, three Mississippi
Now, Dad, now!
Oh, Dad. You're okay. I can't believe it.
Math actually saved the day.
Of course it did, dear.
Math is the building block
for everything in our daily lives.
Its energy surrounds us,
it binds us together.
Even between the counterweight
and the elevator.
I understand, Father.
And I couldn't have done it
without Mr. Person.
Wait, where did he go?
Mr. Person? Mr. Person. Mr.--
Wait a minute.
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh, Bunnicula. Come here, buddy.
Oh, where have you been,
little buddy bunny?
Wait. Where's Mr. Person?
I guess he's gone, sweetie.
[sniffles] But never forgotten.
Right, Dad?
That's right, Mina. We'll keep him
in our hearts, always.
Hello. My name is Mr. Person.
I'm here for the nanny position.
-Oh, no!
-My card.
"Mr. Person. Na-- Nan-- Nanny."
-[stammers] I can't believe it.
-It's a pleasure to meet you.
I can't believe you'd try
and impersonate Mr. Person.
What's that?
I've met Mr. Person, sir.
And you are no Mr. Person.
Good day!
[stammering] But I am Mr. Person.
-I said, good day!
-But-- But-- But I
