Big Top Scooby-Doo! Page #5

---

I'll take over most of Archambault's act.

Velma, that means

I'll be helping you into the cannon.

The cannon?

(WOMEN LAUGHING)

They're here.

There's Wulfric.

He looks shorter in person.

Okay. Here we go.

There's just one thing

you have to remember--

Yes? Marius?

Oh. Like, not him too.

(BOTH GULP)

(HORN HONKING)

Sisko is right. The show must go on.

But what if the werewolves show up?

I'm counting on it.

We've got a little surprise

in store for them.

The circus is a metaphor for society,

don't you think?

Only instead of, like, rich people

and poor people, there's other things.

So true, so true. Isn't it true?

ALL:

Mm-hm.

-True.

WULFRIC:
Shh.

It's starting.

Ladies and gentlemen.

With the finest talent

from 10 continents...

I thought there were only

seven continents.

Well, they're discovering

new ones all the time.

(PHIL CHUCKLES)

...I present the Brancusi Circus.

And now, Oliverio and Fred.

Does that safety net look okay to you?

No. Maybe the junior, second-assistant,

backup trapeze artist forgot to check it.

Who?

Oh, heh, that's me, isn't it?

Yes. I guess you'd better hope

I don't drop you, eh?

(WHIMPERING AND YELLING)

No!

MAN 1:

Bravo!

-You caught me.

-Of course.

If I don't, you think anyone

ever gonna hire me again?

MAN 2:

Well done.

(FRED CHUCKLES)

(HORN HONKING)

(SHRIEKS)

(WULFRIC LAUGHING)

Get it? Huh?

The umbrella represents intolerance.

PHIL:
Hmm, ha, ha.

Yeah, oh, yeah. Ha, ha. I get it.

Hello, Wulfric Von Rydingsvard.

Where? Where--? Oh, right.

I give you, Shaggy.

-And his performing dog.

-Mm-mm-mm.

-The guy in the dog suit is fantastic.

-That's a real dog.

(CHUCKLES)

Phil, you fall for anything.

I bet you believe in kangaroos.

They're here. Go.

(ALL GASP)

Huh?

(GROWLS)

Now, this is what I've been waiting for.

Hello, wolfy-wolf-wolfy.

(CHUCKLES)

(GRUNTS)

Sorry, Schmatko. We'll get you

back to normal, if that's really you.

Oh, not good.

(GROWLING)

Fred!

Ow! That's a Titanium chain.

(ALL SCREAMING)

Thanks so much for your help, everyone.

Phil, you're the only one

who stood by my side.

I always said you were like a son to me,

Wulfric.

A wealthy, Swedish son

with a tenuous grip on reality.

Good dog, good doggy,

don't bite Freddy now.

So the affair goes on even now

that she's a werewolf, eh?

-You're crazy.

-Crazy in love.

Come back to me, Lena.

I don't care if you're a dog.

Bite me and we shall stalk the night

together, two wolves in love.

(YELLS)

Heh. You two obviously have some stuff

to work out, so I'll just be, uh....

(FRED YELLS)

At least I don't have to do

the cannon thing.

(SCOOBY WHIMPERING)

-Strike.

-Hmph.

Hey, I'm sorry I didn't introduce you.

But you can't stay mad--

Ha. I knew you still cared.

(SCOOBY YELLS)

-I'm coming, Scoob.

VELMA:
Aah!

Like, leave my friend alone. Huh?

Red fur?

Zoinks!

SCOOBY:

What the...?

They're gone.

Shaggy. They're baboons.

Baboons? Baboons.

(FRED, VELMA & DAPHNE WHIMPER)

Oh, man, what was that command

he used? Domingo.

(SHAGGY SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

They're the trained baboons.

Which means Doubleday

must be behind this.

Stop him.

Oh, no.

Fred. Fire.

-Are you sure?

-Do it.

Way to go, Velma.

Oh, yeah. Best human comet ever.

-Ow! That was glued on, you know.

-It's Doubleday, all right.

Get back. You won't take us that easy.

(GUNSHOT)

(GROANS)

-What did you do?

ARCHAMBAULT:
He's okay.

Just tranquilizer gun Doubleday keep

around in case of problem with animals.

-What are those ropes?

-Archambault tied up.

But Archambault break ropes.

Such thick ropes.

-It take hours.

-Where were you?

In storage shed, back there.

(MUMBLING)

-You okay?

-Who did this?

Did you catch him? What's going on?

It was Doubleday.

We've already called the police.

(OLIVERIO SPEAKS IN SPANISH)

(LENA SPEAKS IN GERMAN)

This would have never happened

at the Minsk conservatory.

(DOUBLEDAY GROANING)

MARIUS:
How is he?

-This is strong stuff.

He could be out for hours, days even.

Where did my amulet go?

DETECTIVE:
I've got men searching for it,

and all the other stolen jewels.

If we don't find them, we can get

the information from Doubleday.

My circus is supposed to be

in Philadelphia tomorrow.

Will that be a problem?

No. If we need you, we'll contact you.

You were the best thing in the show,

my friend, and that dog costume is brilliant.

Dog costume?

Thanks again for all your help.

Are you sure

I can't give you anything?

We did some major box office.

This thing is crammed with cash.

No, thanks.

We're just glad we could help.

Well, any time you want to see the circus,

it's on the house.

And all the churros you can eat.

Yes.

And maybe I could do

the high-wire again, huh?

Uh, let's think about

whether that's probably maybe best, um....

Anyway, um, goodbye.

Archambault say goodbye also.

Goodbye, Archambault.

Thanks for everything.

Okay. I hope they find all those jewels.

Especially that black diamond,

it seemed very nice, oui?

-Hey, motorcycle girl.

-Schmatko.

I guess Sisko told you I could never get

your umbrella routine right.

No, he say umbrella routine

was funny for first time ever.

Oh, uh....

No, no, is good.

This finally make me decide

clowning is not for me.

So now I go to New York

to pursue my true love, theater.

That's great, Schmatko.

I'm sure you'll be a huge success.

Of course, Sisko will miss me terribly...

...but a man has got to be doing

what it is that a man has got to be doing.

Do svidaniya, all. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I thought he'd never leave. Cheers.

Well, another case solved.

I don't know.

Something's still bugging me.

Yeah, I miss the part where the bad guy

says he would've gotten away with it...

-...if it hadn't been for us.

-Wait.

Archambault said "black diamond."

But the last he heard,

that gem was a carbonado.

-So?

-And do you remember...

-...what Doubleday said?

-You won't take us that easy.

He said "us."

Archambault caught Doubleday...

...after he tranquilized him.

He could have the black diamond.

And Archambault said he broke his ropes,

but that rope hadn't been broken.

The ends looked like they'd been cut.

And the book.

Archambault was the one

who knocked it off the shelf.

I'll bet he planted it there.

It all adds up.

Archambault was in on it.

We've got to catch that train.

-Come on, come on.

-I'm going as fast as I can.

Uh-oh. Look.

We gotta get on that train somehow.

What? What are you looking at?

Shaggy, how far can you jump?

Huh?

Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no. No. No!

Come on, guys,

jump so I can get up there.

How did we get talked into this,

Scoob?

How can you still be mad?

I said I was sorry.

(BOTH YELL)

Too late, Daphne.

-I guess it's just us, Scoob.

-Hmph.

Boy, he really can hold a grudge.

(MARIUS GRUNTS)

Tell Archambault where is key

or Archambault get angry.

This isn't angry?

-We gotta stop him.

-We?

Scooby-Doo, like, dude, I'm sorry.

You're the best friend a guy could have,
