RUBY: "Chores can be fun!"
with Ruby.
Hello.
Today we'’ll be doing--
laundry!
Nothing to worry about, Doom.
It'’ll be fun.
Okay, what have we got here?
Tablecloth, sweater, pillow
shams, summer dress, winter
dress, another sweater, cat
blanket, cute top, doll'’s
outfit, pot holder, cute top
raincoat, another sweater,
cute top, and-- oh, cute top.
Huh?
How did this get in here?
Must be Len'’s.
Oh well, in it goes.
[Clock ticking]
[Dinging]
Done!
[Screaming]
My summer dress!
It'’s-- yellow!
Oh!
Okay, so tune in next week for
"Chores can be fun!" with Ruby,
where we iron clothes we'’re not
ever gonna wear anymore and make
kites out of them.
Bye.

IRIS: Woohoo!
Ha ha!
I got it!
Woops.
I had it.
[Laughing]
You just gotta love club day.
Yeah--
[Laughing nervously]
So, what exactly do you do in
your club again?
Well, in our club "Hair Today
Gone Tomorrow" we do all kinds
of fun things with hair.
We weave it, dye it, spike it--
[Iris laughing]
Play games with it.
[Screaming]
IRIS: I got it!
[Crashing]
I'’m good.
You should join, Skull Boy.
Yeah, but--
Here, you can weave the rest
of the flowers into Ruby'’s hair.
I just don'’t know if hair is
my thing, guys.
But our club is inclusive.
We take anyone regardless of
talent or hair.
[Thunder crashing]
Misery, how did your hair get
that way?
I was doing an up do and it
up and went.
Ugh, my hair should be declared
a no fly zone.
[Flies buzzing]
Too late.
I know, let'’s use this hair
tonic.
We can just slick it all back.
Woops.
[Laughing]
Skull Boy, I really think you
should join the fun.
[Laughing]
Yeah, okay, I'’ll just let
myself out.
Okay Skull Boy, first rule of
Fright Club is we don'’t talk
about Fright Club.
But aren'’t we talking about
it right now?
Technically, but, uh, oh, never
mind.
What do you guys do in Fright
Club?
Well, I scare--
Boo!
[Laughing]
And, I jump.
Boo!
Agh!
[Laughing]
Oh my, you got me again good.
[Laughing]
Got it.
What would I do?
Hmm, looks like all the
positions are already filled
nicely.
Thanks anyway.
Take me with you.
[Sighing]
BOO BOO: Boo!
SCAREDY BAT: Oh!
Oh, a very good one again.
Okay, it took 4 combs, 2 sets
of pliers, and a crowbar to
untangle the wreath from
Misery'’s hair but I think we've
finally done it.
Way to go.
The spider web is definitely a
hair don'’t.
Yeah.
[Flies buzzing]
Ugh.
SKULL BOY: Hey, Ruby.
Hey Skull Boy, have you
joined a club yet?
Not yet.
I want to find just the right
fit before I make any
commitments.
Sounds like a good plan.
Hey, why don'’t you check out
Poe'’s book club in the crypt.
You love reading.
Hey, that sounds perfect.
Thanks!
Hello, and welcome to--
[Feedback ringing]
Gah.
Welcome to the Red Poe Society.
I'’m delighted you could all make
it.
Can everybody hear me?
Is this better?
Yes!
Hey, young man.
Uh, me?
Yes, you.
Why don'’t you move up a bit?
There'’s some room in the front.
Ah, Skull Boy.
Someone who appreciates the
written word, hm?
Yes.
What books to we get to read?
Well, we start with an
autobiography, should be a best
seller, about a well meaning
crow who dispenses his wits and
wisdom to a group of friends and
admirers.
[Snoring]
But, mostly friends.
It'’s called "The Branch Less
Travelled".
Are there any other books
we'’ll get to read in Red Poe
Society?
Huh, other books?
I don'’t understand.
It'’s a big book mind you.
It would be such fun spending
hours together waxing poetic on
it.
[Laughing]
Get it?
Poe-etic?
[Laughing nervously]
You know, this sounds great
but I need to think about it a
bit more.
Yes, well you think about it.
And don'’t worry, there'll be
plenty more books to discuss as
we go on.
I write very fast.
♪
Yeah!
[Laughing]
So Skull Boy, this is why you
should join our club "The
Wandering Rock Minstrels".
It'’s a blast.
You'’ll love it.
We spread joy throughout the
land laying down heavy bass
riffs.
[Chattering]
Okay, spreading joy
throughout the land sounds good.
What can I do?
Well, we do need someone to
take notes at our meetings.
We had to let our last
secretary go.
He was so slow.
Tone deaf too.
Sure, I can be the secretary.
This is great.
Let the meeting begin.
♪
[Snoring]
Guys, thanks for the offer
but this club is just not active
enough for me.
He was the best secretary we
ever had.
Boy, club day is almost half
over and I still haven'’t joined
anything.
You can say that again, Doom.
Hey, maybe we should form a
club.
I mean you and I probably have
more in common than--
Oh, right.
Pardon me.
How'’s the club search going,
Skull Boy?
Uh, not bad.
I'’ve eliminated a couple more
that just weren'’t right.
Good for you.
Worse comes to worst, you could
always start your own club.
Aha!
That'’s the ticket.
Ta ta.
I say, old chap, smashing play.
This croquet club is jolly good.
Alors, c'’est true.
Regard!
Hip bip, old boy.
I'’m simply a better croquet
player than you.
Oh, you think so, huh?
Et la fromage.
This is for the Battle of
Waterloo!
Uhh!
Agh!
I don'’t even fit into my own
club.
I wonder why Skull Boy hasn'’t
joined a club yet.
Guess he'’s just looking for
the perfect fit.
Iris, so that conditioner you
gave me to straighten my hair
didn'’t work.
Although, I do feel like getting
my groove on.
Whatever that is.

[Sighing]

I must be related to great jazz
musicians.
I'’m, uh, diggin' you cats and,

Hey Skull Boy, I was
wondering if maybe you'’ve
reconsidered joining our club.
[Laughing]
No thanks, Ruby.
I'’ve just formed the hippest
club of all with the coolest
bunch of cats.
Ruby, meet my new friends--
[Crickets chirping]
[Crow cawing]
Hey, guys?
Guys?
Funny, they were just here.
You'’ve got imaginary friends?
Great.
I can'’t wait to meet them.
But remember, if you change your
mind about our club we'’re always
here for you.
Ruby, wait, they'’re not
imaginary--
I think.
Guys?
[Wolf howling]
Guys?
Where is everyone?
You still here, my man?
[Laughing]
Where'’d you go when my friend
showed up?
Just playin'’ around with your
head.
Tell me about it.
[Laughing]
All right, I'’m, uh, down with
it.
What'’s your name, kid?
Skull Boy.
SB, one thing about us old
funny bones: we sure love a good
laugh.
Man, you fracture me.
[Laughing]
When?
Oh, I'’m so sorry.
No, man.
You crack me up.
You know, fracture.
Right.
I dig?
You'’ll be around next time,

Aw, cool daddy-- daddy-o.

[Wheel squeaking]
"Hair Today Gone Tomorrow" is
a great club, huh?
Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
I mean, we can talk about our
hair and do our hair.
That'’s right.
You said it.
You know, I kinda miss
everybody.
BOTH: Me too!
[Sighing]
I bet they'’re all having a
great time with their own clubs.
[Snoring]
When will this eternity end?
I bet those little fellows, Boo
Boo and Scaredy, are having a
roaring old time.
Boo.
Oh, eek, heh heh.
I'’m bored out of my mind.
Oh, me too.
I am sure Frank and Len have the
best club of all.
[Snoring]
Well, it'’s only a few more
hours before the party tonight.
[Sighing]
When all the clubs get together.
Yeah, I can'’t wait to see
everyone.
But my hair: it has a mind of
its own!
Don'’t worry Misery, we'll do
our hair the same way.
Yeah yeah, it'’ll be the
club'’s signature.
Hey, maybe we'’ll start a craze.
A craze?
Like jousting?
Maybe not so violent and
12th Century but, yeah,
something like that.
How exciting.
I'’m gonna tell Skull Boy about

Misery, you are a dear.
Oh, it'’s so great to see you
girls again.
So, what have you been doing?
Have you had a good time?
What did you do?
Was it fun?
Sure.
We had fun.
Did you enjoy the Red Poe
Society?
Enjoy?
Oh, oh my, um--
Are those éclairs?
Oh, excuse me ladies.
Did the Wandering Rock
Minstrels wander far?
We went to the fridge and
back.
Hey cats and kitties, flap
your ears.
Wanna get down and shake your
bones?
I could be persuaded.
Carry on.
Then come and check out my
club with the most happenin'’
cats in Gloomsville.
This ain'’t no jive.
Meet me in the graveyard in 5.
Sounds like fun to me.
They said they'’d be here.
They like to joke.

Ah, yes.
Ah ha.
Yoo-hoo, come on out guys.
Hey Ruby, what'’s with Skull
Boy?
Come out, come out, wherever
you are.
I'’m not sure.
He has the fever.
It hit Gloomsville circa 1356.
Symptoms include confusion--
I don'’t get it.
Where is everyone?
Hallucinations--
Hey Skele-T, stop playing
these games with me.
And in some advanced cases,
speaking a mere gibberish.
Come on scat-a-cats,
everything'’s jake.
I'’m hip to the jive to hit on

SKELE-T: Did someone say call

Yes, sir.
Wow, hail the chief.
