Hold That Ghost Page #5

---

come in.

Sleep all by myself.

Must be neat.

Chuck! Chuck!

Am I dreaming or am I awake? You're awake.

Couldn't I be dreaming but you're

saying I'm awake? What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Then I'm dreaming.

My room changed into a gambling

joint. That's ridiculous.

Chuck-a-luck.

Slot machines.

C'mon, c'mon!

Let me see this.

Well? There was a roulette table there.

If I'm dreaming, then I dreamt

it. If I'm awake, I saw it.

You're letting your

imagination run away.

I can't imagine things like

this. I'm not that clever.

All right, the room is

full of roulette tables!

I like roulette tables.

I like to sleep on 'em.

No, no.

That was a dice board.

I wanna get some sleep.

You go in my room and sleep.

I'll sleep in here. Is

that all right? Okay.

Now what's wrong?

I forgot the rest

of my clothes.

Sleep tight.

Go to sleep!

Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!

Aaah! Aaah!

Chuck, Chuck, chuck!

Chuck!

It happened in your room

now, the whole thing. What?

Dice. Chuck-a-luck.

Roulette tables. All right.

They got a slot machine. Put in

a quarter, pull and hit a jackpot.

Wait a minute!

Stop working yourself up

into one of your frenzies!

What frenzies? I ain't

making frienzies with nobody!

C'mon on. Chuck, let's get outta here.

No, don't take me back.

Chuck, don't.

Chuck, don't.

I'm telling you,

the whole room...

What?

Now what's wrong?

What's wrong in here? It did it again.

Nothing has happened! Yeah, yeah.

Do me a favor

and stop this nonsense.

Get in bed

and stay there.

Yip, yip, yip.

I know

the room changed.

A lot of things

around here.

Chuck! Chuck!

See that?

The whole...

Did you ever

see anything like that?

All right. I'll get you another

room. I'm gonna get my own room.

You seem very busy, Doctor. Huh?

Don't tell me

you make your own milk.

What are you doing?

Huh?

I suppose if I was to tell you the

house was on fire, you'd say, "huh?"

Hand me that

blue bottle, please.

What's on fire? Nothing. Not a thing.

You're the "concentratingest" man

I ever met. I'm analyzing the water.

We're surrounded by murder and all

you do is calmly analyze the water!

Are you worried? Oh... I don't know.

You don't strike me as

the nervous type. Don't I?

I'll bet you have perfect

20/20 vision. Thanks.

Well, don't you?

Is it important?

Actually, would you prefer

a girl with healthy eyes...

to a girl with pretty eyes

who's blind as a bat?

Without those portholes,

you probably can't see.

I noticed you had beautiful eyes

the first time I saw you.

I didn't mention it then. Mention it now.

Well, they're...

soft and limpid...

like two pools

of water.

Water?

Oh!

My glasses, please.

I suppose your silly

experiment couldn't wait...

could it?

Huh?

Oh... "huh" yourself!

In fact, you're the most

beautiful girl I ever...

Huh?

C-C-Come in.

Come in!

Who is it?

Come in.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Yes?

Locked.

Chuck!

Hey, Chuck.

Oh, Chuck.

Chuck. Chuck. What are you

doing here? What happened?

Did you knock on my door? Did

you lock it? No, certainly not.

Well, it's locked. I'm

scared to death. It's locked?

It's locked?

C'mon!

No, no, no.!

C'mon.!

The door is locked.

Is this another one of your

brainstorms? You try to open it.

See?

I know that door was locked. Aw, nonsense!

What is this all about?

Get a load of this mess!

What's come over you

all of a sudden?

Don't give me any arguments.

Look around here.

You don't... Never mind

that. A fine time to play.

What is this? You

wouldn't do this at home.

And this place is just

as much mine as it is yours.

You don't... Don't ever do this again.

You oughta be ashamed.

Now clean it up!

Hey, Chuck?

Don't ever pull

a knife on me!

Norma, are you asleep? No.

Didn't that warm milk

make you sleepy?

Didn't have any.

Then maybe we should? I

don't want any. You have some.

The doctor's still there,

isn't he?

- His body is.

- B-B-Body?

Yeah. His mind

is miles away!

Norma, don't do that.

Don't play games.

I don't feel so well.

Excuse me.

Aaah!

Aaah.!

What was that?

What happened?

What is it?

What's wrong?

What were you screaming about? A ghost.

A ghost?

A ghost?

With fangs.

Again?

Hello, Chuck. Did you

come back to apologize?

You don't have to.

I forgive you.

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey-hey!

He's in my room, in my bed.

Pulling covers over his head.!

Hey!

Wait!

What's the matter? I'm afraid to

have you go up there... without me.

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

Hurry up.

There's your ghost.

Just as

I thought!

This couldn't be a joke,

could it?

Everything seems to happen to you!

Except what happened to Smitty.

Camille, I was laying on the bed

and... Oh, excuse me.

Whoever's doing this

isn't fooling.

They're obviously trying

to get us out of the house.

Where are those detectives?

If that scream...

Maybe they're...

Let's find out. You

girls get ready to leave.

You and I will find

the detectives.

Come on, Chuck. Come on, Camille.

We better split up.

Too bad I can't finish this

experiment. I'm onto something.

Chuck, let's go back

to the gas station.

The doctor and I are gonna

search the cellar and the grounds.

You sit here and wait

for the girls. All alone?

Yes. Here's a road map. Find the

easiest way out. That's a good idea.

Chuck, suppose the ghost comes

back? The ghost is a rumor.

I don't care

if he's the landlord.

Sit down.

Don't get excited.

If you want me, holler

"Oh, Chuck" and I'll come.

Oh, Chuck!

What kept you?

I came like that! If you can get in

here in between that, you get here.

Take it easy.

Read that map.

When I call, "Oh, Chuck,"

get in here. All right.

Now I'm... all alone.

Oh, Chuck.

Oh, Chuck?

Oh, Chuck?

Oh, Chuck!

Oh, Chuck!

Get in here!

Oh, Chuck! Oh, Chuck! I'm here.

Hey, come off it.

I called 42 "Oh, chucks"

and you didn't come in.

I came in as soon as

you hollered "Oh, Chuck. "

Don't wait for me to say "Oh,

Chuck. " Get in here on the "oh. "

You're excited. Are you ready to leave?

I was ready when he put

the key in the front door.

Camille, sit down

and keep Ferdie company.

Help him read

this map.

Thanks, Camille...

for keeping me company.

I do so want

not to be alone.

Take this map and see

if you can find a road out.

If we take Route 72...

we could cut through

the forest.

Then we could take a back

road and as soon as we...

Oh, oh, oh, Ch... Ch...

Oh, Ch... Ch... Ch...

Ch... Ch... Ch...

Oh... Ch-Ch-Chuck?

Oh, Chuck!

Yes, yes, yes.

Oh, Chuck!

Just a minute.

Don't get excited.

Wait a minute.

That candle moved?

Camille, did you see that candle move? No!

Where were you looking?

At the map.

Never mind the map.

Keep your eye on that candle.

That's ridiculous. That

candle can't move. No?

You want me to find the

detectives, don't you?

Now find a road outta

here. I'll find a road.

Now, don't call me. I'll find

a road if I have to make one.

Are you sure you didn't

see that candle move? Uh-uh.

I know that went...
