(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?
