Hold That Ghost Page #6

---

zzip... zzip...

in front of me.

No, huh?

Uh-uh.

Now I know

I am alone.

Keep your eye

on that candle.

Now, if we take Route 16

right out the front door...

that's the route

that's out there...

we could get in somebody's car

and sort of zzip.

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

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

Chuck! Chuck!

Yes? Wait!

Wait a minute.

What's going

on here?

Calm down

for a minute.

All right.

Wait a minute.

I understand.

Hold still a minute.

Take it easy.

That candle moved?

Camille, did you see that candle move? No!

Where were you looking? There.

What are you lookin' there for?

You told me to look at that.

Don't believe me. I'm a liar. Now, now.

What is this all about?

This is nonsense.

It's very peculiar nonsense.

There's nothing peculiar about it.

Sit down. I left

the doctor alone.

Take it easy.

Don't get excited.

You have company. You're

not alone. No, not much.

Just calm down.

Look...

keep one eye

on that candle...

another eye

on that one...

and with the other eye,

watch me.

What was that?

Those candles went out.

Do you feel a draft? No.

If these candles move,

you will.

I'll get out of here

so fast...

the suction will carry you

along with me.

I can't even read the map

any... anymore.

This is no laughing matter.

I'm scared.

Keep your hands to yourself.

Don't slap me.

I didn't slap you.

If we can...

You didn't slap me?

No.

Now, if we can...

Ferdie.

Don't do that, Ferdie.

You're a nice boy.

I don't like to see you do

those things so cut it out.

What did I do? You know

what you did. You slapped me.

Now... And you're

supposed to be a boy scout.

I didn't slap you, Camille.

Yes you did, Ferdie!

Did you slap me?

Uh-uh.

Did you slap

me? Uh-uh. Uh-oh!

Oh, Chuck. Oh, Chuck! Aaah!

- Aaah.!

- Oh, Chuck.

I've got you,

you old ghost!

I'm gonna lift up your sheet

and see who you really are.

What happened?

What's wrong?

What's

going on here?

What's going on? And

that's what I want to know!

I almost had a ghost

and Camille got in the way.

I better see

if Norma's all right.

I wish I knew why someone's anxious

to keep people away from this tavern.

Must be

Moose's bankroll.

Moose is supposed to have

buried his bankroll.

Around this tavern?

The only thing they heard Moose say

was that he kept his money in his head.

Hey, Chuck,

you mean in that thing?

What thing? That horse with a hat rack.

When I said, "Moose kept the money in

his head," that's just a figure of speech.

Oh, a figure of speech! You

know what a figure of speech is?

Everybody knows that.

What is it?

It's like if I said

"Water went under the bridge. "

- Under what bridge?

- How do I know what bridge.

Then how do you know

there's any water under it?

There's gotta be water so

the boats can go up and down.

Suppose they want

to go across?

- I'm a sucker for arguing.

- Why do you start?

You asked me if I knew

what a figure of speech was.

I said, "Just like if I said,

water went under the bridge. "

I shoulda said like

"Gone with the wind. "

What wind?

Am I gonna have trouble

with you now?

What do I know "what wind"?

Any wind!

I didn't find the detectives

but we better get out.

Are you ready?

In a moment.

I'm sorry if I kept you

waiting. That's all right.

You're angry at me. No. That's ridiculous.

You're angry at me

because you like me.

But you do like me

a bit.

Don't you feel a little

safer when I'm around?

Doctor, whenever I have

to turn to you for protection...

Aaah!

Darling,

are you hurt?

No, dear.

Dear,

you called me darling.

Darling,

you called me dear.

We shouldn't be

standing here.

We should be out trying

to find the detectives.

I've been talking to you

all this time and still...

you haven't explained why you should

even say "Gone with the wind. "

It was a

figure of speech...

just like...

"Never the twain shall meet. "

What twain?

The twain

on "twack twee. "

What's the use? I'd like to know

what started this whole argument!

You said there was money

in the moose's head.

Would it make you happier

if I proved...

that there's no money up there? Go ahead.

Give me a chair.

I'll prove it to you.

Ooo.!

You got a big head.

I'm gonna put my hand

in your mouth.

Don't bite it!

This one's going in,

the one I eat with.

I got a way

with animals.

Take it easy.

Hope you ain't ticklish.

Hey, Chuck,

the moose's tongue is peeling.

Sure, peeling.

It's...

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.!

What is this?

I don't know.

Wait a minute.

It's real.!

Keep peeling. Let go of my pants.

Atta boy, Ferdie! Stop pulling my pants.

C'mon, c'mon. Hey,

Chuck, let go of my pants.

This guy's got some

tongue. Get the tongue out.

Camille?

Huh?

Does "mooses"

have tonsils?

I hope that one's got

a big one, a green one.

Look at that tonsil!

What a tonsil!

- C'mon, keep it peeling.

- Get my hand out!

Never mind your hand. Somebody, help!

I'll never

join your lodge!

Never mind your arm. We'll buy

you a new one. I'm gonna faint.

Let go!

Ooo, you!

I hope you two are satisfied

that there's no money...

in the moose's head.

Argue with me. No more

arguments. Ferdie, I love you!

He loves me!

Thousands, millions,

trillions! Millions? Trillions?

I'd love to run through

that with my bare feet.

Say, Ferdie, look. Look.

What's that? That's what you

got out of the moose's head.

I told you there was no

money... Don't get excited.

I know how you feel.

We've got to find

those detectives.

What have you got? $10

bills. Thousands of'em.

Where on earth?

In the moose's head.

You have no idea what we're gonna

do with this money. But I have.

No, you haven't. You're gonna hand it over.

All right,

stick 'em up!

I've been hunting

that dough for weeks.

Finders is keepers.

And I'm the keeper!

I didn't work for Moose Matson for 15

years to let someone else get the gravy.

We don't want the gravy. You

can have it. Put that down!

Look out!

I've got him!

You've got me.

Get him.

Drag him out. I'm always left

with these kinds of things.

Look what you did to

the guy. Throw him out.

That was

a close one.

Did you let him

have it!

We are "Sitting on top

of the world. "

- That's a figure of speech.

- Like "Reach for the ceiling. "

We oughta thank you for

finding this sugar for us.

All right,

hand it over.

C'mon, fatty!

He means you.

Ooo!

Fatty!

I lost 43 pounds...

since I've been

in the place.

Run, Ferdie!

Run, Ferdie!

Go, Ferdie.!

Come out of there

or I'll let you have it.

Charlie Smith.

He come back again.

Look out

for that body.

Now which way did he go?

He's takin' off down there.

- He's not down here.

- Check upstairs again.

C'mon!

Ow! Ow!

Oh! Oh!

Catch it.

Get him.!

Excuse me.

Throw me the bag.

You want it? Yes, throw it over.

Aaah!

Beat it!

The cops!

Ferdie!

Did I scare 'em?

My hero! You scared

those gangsters.

And he did it

single-handed.

Oh boy. C'mon, put it down. Money!

Put it back in the bag. This is ours.
