Guys, guys?
What's going on?
Show's only four days away,
and--
And we're having trouble
writing about our friends.
What do we do, Ruby?
You do what all great writers
do.
Get into the heads of the people
you're writing about.
Try and see things from their
point of view.
Of course.
Sounds easy enough.
BOTH: Hmm.
Hey, have you seen my costume
sketches?
Ah, there they are.
Thanks, Doom.
You'll be fine.
Have fun.
Problemo solvemo.
Frank, how do we get into the
characters' heads?
I don't know!
[Screaming]
BOTH: Ruby!
Ow!
FRANK: Whoa.
[Echoing]
Where...
are we?
FRANK: Who blew out the
candles?
BOTH: What?
Come on.
Ow!
Quit weighing us down and move
towards the light.
But I don't want to move
towards the light, Frank.
I'm not ready to go yet!
Look, you don't want to be
here forever, do you?
Move to the light!
Len, we're not in Gloomsville
anymore.
[Screaming]
FRANK: Misery's become a
giant!
Hey, who are those two good-
looking guys in her eyeballs?
Len, it's us.
We're inside Misery's head!
No way!
We really are good-looking!
We're in the character's
head, just where Ruby said we
should be.
Golden.
[Screaming]
Mind-blowing.
Let's get back out there.
Okay.
Go!
Now, pay attention.
Let no action go unobserved.
[Glass shattering]
BOTH: Seven years bad luck!
One more and I get a free
toaster.
Huh?
I second that.
Huh?
So, mirror cracks.
Not good.
Misery reaction as though not
good didn't just happen.
Yeah.
Look, a bad thing just
happened to her, right?
And she wasn't bummed.
[Snorting]
She just brushed it off.
[Sneezing]
But bad things always happen
to her.
She's Misery.
And maybe she always just
brushes them off.
Ah, I... get it... basically.
BOTH: What?
Oops.
Hang on, Len!
Ow.
RUBY: Hey, Misery.
Hi, Ruby.
What's with the gargoyle?
You mean this little guy?
Oh, uh, I was, um, just taking
him out for a walk.
♪ Dum dee dum dum
BOTH: Ruby!
Hey, Ruby!
Over here!
Ruby!
Well, I better get back to
these costumes or Frank and Len
won't have anything to wear for
the show.
See you later, Misery.
Yeah, bye.
That was weird.
Yeah, I don't think that
gargoyle can walk.
No, I mean it isn't like Ruby
to ignore us.
Unless... she couldn't hear us.
All right, then we better
talk louder!
No, Len, you're not getting
it.
She can't hear you.
Oh, okay.
[Shouting] How about now?
What's happening?
Hang on!
Misery's on the move!
Ahh, a perfect evening.
Ow.
Uh oh.
[Screaming]
[Gasping]
What a dream!
What a nightmare!
What a dream-mare!
Yeah!
What is that?
Hey, it's just like Ruby
said.
We got into the head of somebody
we're writing about: Misery.
So now we can write about her.
Yeah!
So what do we write?
Hmm, let's see.
Misery doesn't let all that bad
luck bum her out.
Yeah, I'd be, "“grrrr,"”
constantly.
That's it!
Let's write!
"“Write"” on!
Get it, write, right on?
Yeah, right on, Len.
But let's just write, okay?
[Stomach grumbling]
Hey, can we get some grub
first?
That dream-mare really got my
stomach grumbling.
I shall call this the
Frankenmost.
Ruby!
Where are we?
IRIS: Woo-hoo!
BOTH: Iris's head!
Whee!
FRANK AND LEN: Fun!
Not fun!
[Laughing]
FRANK AND LEN: Fun!
Not fun!
Woo-hoo, yeah!
[Screaming]
Uh oh.
BOTH: Noooooo!
Whoa!
It's all over!
Don't be so negative, Len!
It's all over!
Whew.
Huh?
Where are we?
Looks like we're in the
kitchen.
Wow, great!
Now we can see things from the
kitchen's point of view!
Yeah, good one, Len.
Okay, you know what's amazing
about Iris?
She really takes risks and puts
herself out there.
Yeah, she's gung-ho all the
time.
Yeah!
Let us be gung-ho and write.
To the garage!
To the opera!
Whoa.
Hah.
BOTH: Doom Kitty!
Whoa!
Hey, let's go outside and
make angels in the grass.
RUBY: Sure.
Please!
BOTH: Stop!
Thank you.
Hey, what about us?
Guys, open the door!
Hello?
Len, they can't hear you.
I think we already established
that.
Aw, poor Doom.
She's all alone.
[Violin noises]
I wonder what that meant.
BOTH: What?
Yippee!
Whee!
FRANK: Yeah, let's go get it,
Doom!
Uh oh!
Boo Boo's going to boo.
SCAREDY: Oh, now what is the
matter, Doom?
Oh, I know, perhaps you wish to
play a game, hmm?
Is it cricket?
No, no!
Look behind you!
Behind you!
Shuffleboard?
Hopscotch!
Come on, this is so obvious.
Yeah, it's definitely
shuffleboard.
Mud-wrestling?
400 Euchre?
Oh, I've got it!
Tiddlywinks!
[Gong sounding]
[Screaming]
Oh, man.
Another dream-mare.
Doom Kitty?
Doom Kitty.
I couldn't believe those guys
didn't get what she was saying.
Must be frustrating, being
Doom.
But on the other hand.
Yarn?
Ball?
Chasing!
I'm psyched!
Let's get back to the garage and
write this thing.
But wait, we've only gotten
into the heads of three
characters.
Ruby!
Yeah, we need to get into her
head.
Oh, oh, I know, I know!
Len?
We shrink ourselves into
laundry, then jump into her
ears, travel through her brain,
and set up camp in her eyeballs!
What say we make that plan B?
I got another plan.
A little simpler.
On three, you whack me over the
head, and I'll do the same to
you, okay?
Gotcha!
One, two...
Wait, what's the number
again?
Three!
Okay, go ahead.
Let's do it.
One, two...
Wait, is it on three or after
three?
On three.
I hear the word three, I
whack you.
Yeah.
Not after.
No.
On.
Yeah.
But how am I going to know
when you say it?
Len, three comes after two.
Then I should whack you after
three so I know you've said it,
'‘cause what if you take a pause
or you say three really fast and
I'm not ready, or--
Okay!
After three!
Okay, good.
After three.
Got it.
One, two...
I can't.
You're my only brother.
I can't either.
You're my only brother.
RUBY: Frank, Len.
BOTH: Whoa!
Please Ruby, please be Ruby.
Hey, check it out!
Costumes.
Ow.
[Gasping]
Hey, Misery.
Hi, Ruby.
Hey, I think I've seen this
movie.
MISERY: What's with the
gargoyle?
Wait a sec, we're seeing the
same scene, but from Ruby's
view.
RUBY: Oh, you mean this
little guy?
Oh, I was just, um, taking him
out for a walk.

IRIS: Ha ha!
Hey, what was that?
Well, I better get back to
these costumes or Frank and Len
won't have anything to wear for
the show.
Oh, oh, I know this last bit.
LEN AND RUBY: See you later,
Misery.
Bye.
Whoo!
Ha ha!
Woo-hoo, yeah!
Uh oh.
Whoa!
Ha ha!
Nice snag, Ruby!

You want to play, don't you?
Here.
Oh, that's what Doom meant.
♪
Hey, Ruby, how are the
costumes coming?
I'm a little behind, but
don't worry, I'll have them done
in time.
And she didn't even say
anything about lending everybody
a hand.
Yeah.
That's our Ruby.
She makes everything so much
better.

Hey, did someone change the
lighting?
FRANK: Yeah, and what's the
deal with Skull Boy and the
floating?
Oh!
Sorry.
Yes, Skull Boy?
I've been meaning to ask you
this for some time.
[Heart beating]
Whoa, what's that loud
pounding?
I don't know, Len!
I cant concentrate right now
with all these hearts
distracting me!
Yes?
Can you turn the music page
for me while I'm playing?
Sure.
Hmm.
Hey, I've got it.
Ruby likes him.
So?
Ruby likes him!
Oh!
Hold steady.
I see something in your eye.
Len, we've been made!
Duck!
[Heart beating]
[Snoring]
Hey, sleepyheads.
I've got the costumes.
Huh?
But how did you get from
there to here so fast?
Huh?
Excuse Len's
discombobulation.
What he meant to say was...
You want us to ask Skull Boy if
he likes you?
Um, I already know Skull Boy
likes me.
Don't you all like me?
Enough said.
It's our little secret, '‘kay?
Sure.
I'll just leave the costumes
here and back away slowly
toward the door.
Just between you and us.
Shh, secret's safe.
That's a relief.
Whew.
Thanks.
You think she knew we knew?
Not a chance.
You ready to write the most
killer rock opera the world has
ever known?
Yeah!
Quadro-Gloomia!
Okay, dress rehearsal's
tonight.
Put this on and let's get to it.
Write on, right?
Right, right on!
I mean, right on writing on!
Yeah, I get it, Len.
Right on.
