Poppet Master
1
(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)
NARRATOR ON TV:
Although easily frightened,
the eastern cotton tail
communicates with
fellow family members
by using a faint,
whispering type call.
Listen closely.
-(ROARING)
-(EXCLAIMS)
Hey, Bunnicula, come on.
I was watching that.
NARRATOR ON TV:Who is this
skittish little creature
that is all
(BUNNICULA GIBBERING)
Bethany?
Bethany, where are you?
-Beth
-(MONSTER GROWLS)
(BUNNICULA LAUGHS)
Bunnicula, I was
here first.
Give me that remote.
What is wrong
with you?
HAROLD: Why, of course
I'll let you watch your show.
-No, no.
-No, thank you.
I value what you contribute
to our relationship.
Harold, what are you doing?
I'm just playing with these
dolls I made of you.
Now we can hang out
wherever I go.
Harold, you're
a full-grown dog.
Aren't you a little old
to be playing with dolls?
Oh, come on, Bunnicula!
-(GIBBERING)
-Oh, here.
Yay! Whoo-hoo!
CHESTER: Huh. Pretty nice
construction on
these dolls, Harold.
I never pegged you as
the artistic type.
Yeah, I just followed
the instructions
in this book of
arts and crafts I found
down the cellar.
CHESTER:
Arts and Crafts, huh?
Wait, this is really dusty.
(GASPS)
"Dark Arts and Crafts"!
Harold, this is a book
of black magic!
Are you sure, Chester?
It has a whole chapter
on just making dolls.
CHESTER: Those aren't
just dolls, Harold!
They're witches'
puppets.
It says, "A witches' puppet
can be used
"to bend the will of others
to be under your control.
"Once their powers have
been awoken by reciting
the words, 'She Le Lu'"
DISTORTED VOICE:
I hear you.
What have I done!
I think you've awoken them.
(STAMMERS)
It wasn't my fault.
The author put this
evil magic word
right in the middle
of the sentence.
Who even does that?
Yeah, a warning would be
nice, huh?
I mean, I'm sure
it's fine.
Let's just put
the dolls away
and then,
nothing bad will happen.
Yeah, but, Chester,
can I just
I really think it's best
if you leave it up to me.
Now, hand them over.
Aw, come on, Chester.
Let me just play with
them a little.
Hey, give me that.
(CHESTER AND HAROLD GRUNTING)
Five more minutes,
okay? Just five more
Put them away
right now!
(CHESTER AND HAROLD ARGUING)
Ha, ha, ha!
You can't reach.
(GASPS)
No, no, no
(EXCLAIMING)
(CRASHING)
Okay, Chester, fine.
You could have just
asked nicely.
-(INHALES SHARPLY) Ooh!
-Oh! I get it.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)
Sorry, Bunn.
Let me help you
out here.
-(SQUISHING)
-Ooh! Oh! Ow! Oh!
(BUNNICULA GIBBERING)
Okay.
We're all good, right?
Let's just forget
this all happened.
I'm sure that as long as
we don't touch the dolls
nothing else is
gonna go wrong.
Okay, let's try this again.
I'm gonna find something
we can both enjoy.
Mmm-hmm?
(GRUNTS ANGRILY)
You gotta get a hold
of yourself, Bethany!
We're gonna get
out of this.
-(BUNNICULA LAUGHS)
-(CHESTER WHIMPERS)
I can't take this.
(ROARING)
(GIBBERING)
Huh?
NARRATOR ON TV:
When pushed to the edge,
the timid creature
does not hesitate
to fight back.
(LAUGHS CUNNINGLY)
No way!
With this witches' puppet,
I don't ever have to be
afraid of you again.
Hey, you guys doing
(GASPS)
What?
Chester, Bunnicula!
What are you two doing?
I said these dolls
were not for fighting.
Fighting?
Who's fighting?
We're not fighting.
(CHUCKLES) See?
He's having fun.
(LAUGHING)
Coochie coo,
coochie, coochie coo.
(LAUGHING AND GROWLING)
Oh. Okay.
We mustn't forget,
I made a puppet of my own.
What? Why would
you intentionally
Wait. Why does yours
have a mustache?
Well, I've always wanted
a mustache.
And I figured it would
make me look distinguished.
Oh, okay.
-(WASHING MACHINE BEEPS)
-Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy
Oh!
(GRUNTING)
Whoa!
Harold, you never cease
to amaze me.
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Bunnicula. (STUTTERS)
You have
You have that doll.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Maybe you wanna
think about just, um
Giving it to me?
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
Come on, Bunnicula!
Give me that doll!
(BUNNICULA TEASING)
(GROWLING)
Come on, Bunnicula,
chill out.
(LAUGHING)
(GROWLING)
I think if we don't
stop now
things are gonna get
a little out of hand.
(GRUNTS AND SCREAMS)
(LAUGHS)
That's what you get
(GIBBERING)
(SCREAMS)
My dominant Sudoku fingers!
(SCREAMS)
A wooden stake!
Huh? (GRUMBLING)
You don't think
I'll do it?
I'll do it!
(HAROLD WHISTLING)
(GASPS) Stop!
(BUNNICULA AND CHESTER SCREAM)
Safe!
Oh, thank goodness!
(CHESTER AND BUNNICULA
GRUMBLING)
You two have
really disappointed me.
Now, listen!
I made these puppets
for friendship.
If you two can't get along,
then I'll just have to
make you get along.
First things first,
the friendship hug.
Mean it, with feeling.
And the customary
friendship dance.
(BUNNICULA GRUMBLING)
Then we plie.
Bow, shake and
Russian, Russian,
Russian.
Well done, well done.
Now there's just
the final procedure left.
(CHESTER GRUNTS)
Care for a spot of tea,
Bunnicula?
(MUTTERS)
(LAUGHS)
Thank you, Chester.
That was very refreshing.
Would you like
a finger sandwich?
Why, yes.
I would love one.
Okay.
No, Bunnicula,
I don't like peanut but
Thank you, Bunnicula.
Why, that was absolutely
delicious.
(CHESTER COUGHING)
Oh, sure thing,
best friend.
And now, let us make
a toast to friendship.
(CUP SHATTERING)
Why, this is so much
better than fighting.
I agree.
Do you see how nice it is
when you two get along?
Besides being
super sloppy.
I love the new
Chester and Bunnicula.
And as a reward,
I'm gonna get you some
cat treats and carrots.
I'll be right back.
But just in case you try
anything funny
Don't go anywhere.
I have had enough of this.
We need to come up
with a plan.
(GIBBERING)
I have no idea
what you just said.
But we have to figure out
something fast,
or Harold's gonna keep us
prisoners like this forever.
(GIBBERING)
I know! You can free us
by doing something scary.
Or Gross.
Boo!
Come on, come on.
(GIBBERING EXCITEDLY)
You did it, Bunn!
(SIGHS)
So, uh, here we are.
Back at square one.
(GIBBERING)
Yeah, now would be
a good time for
forgiveness and just, um,
starting over?
(GIBBERS IN AGREEMENT)
What are we doing?
What have we become?
(GIBBERING)
It's not right!
You just helped me!
(GIBBERING)
You know, before we
change our minds,
we should really
deactivate these things.
(GIBBERS IN AGREEMENT)
-(WHIMPERING)
-(LAUGHING)
Okay. It says the way
to make the powers
of the puppets go dormant
is for the puppeteer
and the puppetee
to say the magic word
"She Le Lu" together.
BOTH: She Le Lu.
DISTORTED VOICE:
I hear you.
Is it done?
Did we do it?
(GIBBERING)
This long, supernatural
nightmare is finally over.
(GIBBERS IN AGREEMENT)
(SLOW CLAPPING)
Bravo.
Looks like you two
have managed to escape.
We've done more
than that.
We've deactivated
the puppets, too.
Oh! And, uh,
how did you
manage that?
Well, me and Bunnicula
stopped fighting long enough
to make a plan.
So, would you say
you two had to,
hmm, work together?
Yeah, that's right.
That once presented
with a common threat,
you had to unite
to overcome it?
-Yeah.
-Hmm.
How convenient.
Harold! You evil genius!
(LAUGHS EVILLY)
Yes, yes!
It's true.
My plan to force you two
to work together
-went off without a hitch.
-(METAL CLANGING)
Even to the point of me
getting my foot stuck
in this bucket.
You didn't plan
the bucket, did you?
No, I did not.
(GRUNTING)
Can you guys help me?
