• Carleton Davis : [the kids are trying to tell Carleton and Eloise about the house being haunted and Mr. Boogedy, but Carleton keeps joking around]  OK. What is it?

  Jennifer Davis : OK. We went to the Historical Society...

  Carleton Davis : [interupts]  No wait, wait, wait! You gotta see this!

  [pulls out a fake mummy] 

  Carleton Davis : Isn't he great?

  [holds the mummy upright] 

  Carleton Davis : Oh, gee wiz! I'm sad, because I lost my mummy!

  [Eloise laughs] 

  Ghost Voice : [Evil cackle] 

  Carleton Davis : Hey! Whoa, boy! What was that?

  Jennifer Davis , Corwin Davis , R.E. Davis : [all together]  Ghosts!

  Carleton Davis : Oh, yeah, sure. So, uh, how'd you guys do that?

  Jennifer Davis : Daddy, please?

  Corwin Davis : Come on, Dad!

  Carleton Davis : No, it's great, really! I'm not mad, I just want to know how you did it.

  Jennifer Davis : Dad, the house is haunted!

  Eloise Davis : Hmm, hmm, hmm. Haunted?

  R.E. Davis : It's Mr. Boogedy!

  Carleton Davis : OK, I don't know how you guys are doing that, but one thing I do know, this house is not haunted!

  Carleton Davis : [Immediately, things in the room start going off. The organ plays by itself, the lights dim up and down, the fake mummy comes to life and begins dancing around to the organ music, ghost hands fill out the monster gloves and start to clap in mid-air. As the music reaches its peak, the mummy swings its arms around three times, then collapses in a heap, the room returning to normal. Carleton looks to Eloise]  Hmm.

  Eloise Davis : Well, that's it! Time to call a realtor!

  Carleton Davis : Eloise, how can you say that?

  Eloise Davis : [points to her mouth]  Time to call, a realtor!

  Carleton Davis : But you mean move!

  Jennifer Davis : I think we otta go, right now!

  Carleton Davis : No, no, it's late, the boys are tired...

  Corwin Davis , R.E. Davis : [together]  We're not tired!

  Jennifer Davis : I'm not spending another night in this house, it's full of ghosts!

  Carleton Davis : Wait! Wait! Hold it, everybody! I got an idea, uh, sleeping bags! We have sleeping bags... uh, we'll camp out!

• Carleton Davis : Ah, did anybody leave a weird green light on in that room?

• Carleton Davis : As we all know, there's no such things as ghosts.

  Ghost Voice : You wanna bet?

• Carleton Davis : [to Neil Witherspoon as he exits the house]  Thanks a lot! Don't ever change!

  [to his family] 

  Carleton Davis : OK, let's take a look around our new home! What do you think, huh?

• R.E. Davis : [Corwin and R.E. are exploring the basement of the new house. R.E. holds his fuzzy teddy bear and sees a minature rocking chair]  Hey Corwin!

  Corwin Davis : What?

  R.E. Davis : [puts the teddy bear in the rocker]  Look! It's just his size!

  Corwin Davis : Big deal.

  [looks behind some large boxes and hears a low growling] 

  Corwin Davis : Hey, R.E.! Over here, over here!

  [R.E. comes to investigate. The growling gets louder, and...] 

  Carleton Davis : [at the top of the staircase, turns on the light]  Find any ghosts, fellas?

  R.E. Davis : Na.

  Corwin Davis : No.

  Carleton Davis : Well, maybe you'll have better luck tomorrow. Come on.

  R.E. Davis : [walks back over to the rocker to get his teddy bear, which is now empty]  Hey! Where'd he go!

  Carleton Davis : Come on, R.E., it's getting late.

  R.E. Davis : But, dad! My fuzzy teddy bear's gone!

  Carleton Davis : Reginald Ernest Davis, MOVE!

  [R.E. wimpers, and walks up the stairs] 

  Carleton Davis : Come on.

  [turns off the light and closes the door. We see the now empty rocker, begin to rock again, by itself] 

• Corwin Davis : [Eloise has told Carleton and the kids about her encounter with Widow Marian]  You saw her? Did she have fangs and stuff? Like a vampire?

  R.E. Davis : Did she have a lot of gooky stuff oozing out of her face?

  Eloise Davis : She was a very nice woman, R.E. And she misses her little boy, very, very much.

  Carleton Davis : This is horrible, Eloise, just awful. We have to do something about this.

  Jennifer Davis : Yeah!

  Corwin Davis : Yeah, Mom! What did the ghost lady tell you to do?

  Eloise Davis : We have to get rid of Mr. Boogedy... get rid of his *cloak*.

• Widow Marian : [the Davis family has exorcised Mr. Boogedy by sucking his cloak into the vaccum cleaner. We see two orbs, a red and blue one, float in and form the ghosts of Widow Marian and Jonathan. Jonathan and Widow Marian embrace]  Jonathan!

  Jonathan : Mama!

  Widow Marian : Oh, thank you! Thank you so much! R.E.?

  [she reaches to R.E. to embrace him] 

  R.E. Davis : [R.E. goes over to Widow Marian and hugs her] 

  Widow Marian : You were very brave, R.E.

  Jonathan : I knew you could do it! Achoo!

  Carleton Davis : Here you go, son.

  [hands Jonathan a tissue, which upon Jonathan's touch, turns into a cloth napkin] 

  Jonathan : Thank you. Achoo!

  [blows his nose into the napkin. Mother and son step back, revert into grey orbs and float out the window] 

• Eloise Davis : [patting Jennifer's hand]  Jennifer? Jennifer, honey, are you OK?Are you all right?

  Jennifer Davis : What happened?

  Eloise Davis : We found you lying here, honey. You were clicking your heels together and all you would say is, there's no place like home! There's no place like home!

  Jennifer Davis : I saw him! I saw him!

  Carleton Davis : Who?

  Jennifer Davis : The Boogedy Man! His face was all yucky! Like a grilled cheese sandwich, or something!

  Carleton Davis : Look, look! There's nobody here! What, what Boogedy Man?

  Jennifer Davis : [points to the wall]  Look, it's his footprints!

  Eloise Davis : Oh, that is strange!

  Corwin Davis : Slimy footprints!

  R.E. Davis : Eeeewwwww!

  Eloise Davis : [Carleton walks up to the wall and examines the green footprints going up the wall to the ceiling]  Careful, Carleton. You don't want to get that on your pajamas!

  Carleton Davis : Oh, boy! These are great! Look at this!

  [pulls a footprint off the wall] 

  Carleton Davis : Ha ha! I can sell these! I can! I can sell these! Aren't they great? Look, they stick to things!

  [sticks the footprint back on the wall] 

  Jennifer Davis : I don't believe this!

  Eloise Davis : Shhh, it's gonna be all right, darlin'...

  Carleton Davis : You know what? You know, I bet Neil Witherspoon set this up! Aw, man! Do you believe it? Is this a great gag?

  Jennifer Davis : No, Daddy! It wasn't Neil! It was the Boogedy Man!

  Eloise Davis : Maybe you had a nightmare, honey...

  Jennifer Davis : But I saw him, right here!

  Corwin Davis : Did he have big teeth!

  R.E. Davis : Was he gonna eat ya?

  Corwin Davis : Maybe he's gonna come back and get her after she goes to sleep! Wooo! Ha!

  R.E. Davis : Woooooo!

  Eloise Davis : All right boys, that's enough!

  Corwin Davis : [looking innocent]  Mom, we're just trying to help.

• Carleton Davis : [the Davis family are all sitting in their bedclothes on top of their sleeping bags, in front of a roaring fireplace]  It was a dark, and stormy night... full of shadows, dark and slimy, creepy things. Suddenly, there was a noise...

  [a bang is heard in the distance] 

  Carleton Davis : It sounded like... like... Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!

  [everyone jumps] 

  Jennifer Davis : Daddy, what are you doing?

  Carleton Davis : Well, you're supposed to tell scary stories, when you're sitting around the old campfire, darlin'!

  Corwin Davis : Yeah, Jennifer!

  Jennifer Davis : This isn't the old campfire, it's the old fireplace! And we're sitting on the floor of this stupid ol' haunted house...

  [we see a mangled hand at Jennifer's shoulder reaching towards her face] 

  Jennifer Davis : ...and any minute some dumb ghost is going to come up and...

  [sees the hand] 

  Jennifer Davis : AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh!

  [Corwin is wearing a fake monster glove and starts laughing] 

  Jennifer Davis : Oh my God, Corwin! Corwin, I'm gonna kill you!

  Eloise Davis : All right, all right! Carleton, Carleton, let's not talk any more about ghosts!

  Carleton Davis : OK everyone, momma's spoken! Time to hit the hay, let's go!

  Corwin Davis : Aw, shucks!

  R.E. Davis : Awwwwww!

  Carleton Davis : Come on, everyone. Get in your sleeping bags, Corwin? Good boy, son.
