SCOOBY:

Help, Shaggy.

-Help.

-Scooby-Doo.

SPECTER:

Just remember...

...dogs don't have nine lives.

What are we gonna do?

VELMA:

I don't know.

If we actually do what he wants...

...being expelled would be the least

of our worries.

Shaggy, what are you doing?

Scooby-Doo's my dog

and I'd do anything to save him.

He's right, guys.

And Scooby's not just his dog.

I feel like he's my dog too.

I have to admit...

...he's really grown on me too.

Oh, jinkies.

He's sloppy, he smells...

...and I'm really more of a cat person...

...but he's still the cutest dog

I've ever seen.

What do you say, gang?

Do it for Scooby-Doo?

ALL:

For Scooby!

Kind of musty down here.

I sure hope my allergies

don't start acting up.

Oh, Shaggy.

Whoa! Whoa!

SHAGGY:
Wow. So long Coolsville,

welcome to Creepsville.

Like, I guess this is what they mean

by a fixer-upper.

No one has fixed this place up

since the turn of the century.

Well, I guess we better start looking

for the time capsule.

-Come on, this way.

-Yeah.

Yuck. Now I know why he wanted us

to come down here.

Oh, so like, if the time capsule

was never buried...

-... then where would it be?

-I don't know.

I guess we just have to search

until we find it.

What's this?

-Come on.

-All right, let me try.

I'm good with these kinds of things.

See?

Jinkies!

DAPHNE:
Get back!

-Velma!

Are you okay?

Never better.

Hi. Don't mind us,

but Scooby-Doo? Remember?

I don't know about you, but I don't know

how many doors I wanna be opening here.

VELMA:

Yeah.

And you know what...

...even if we do manage

to find the time capsule...

...he still can pin the whole thing on us.

Maybe not. I have a plan. Huddle up.

Excuse me, Mr. Creepy Dude, sir?

May we have a word with you?

Just a quick...

Yeah, hello?

-Hello?

SPECTER:
What? What is it?

I think we found it.

-But the problem is...

-It's really heavy.

Yeah, and we're gonna...

-Need some help.

-Yeah.

SPECTER:
It's just like they always say,

never work with children or animals.

SPECTER:

Well, all right.

Where is it?

-Hey, where are you kids?

-All aboard.

SPECTER:

Whoa!

DAPHNE:
Here's for trying to frame us.

-I'll take that.

Please keep your arms and legs

inside the vehicle.

SHAGGY:
Now, you just wait in here

until the authorities arrive.

Huh?

SPECTER:

The time capsule. Mine at last.

Thanks, kids.

I really appreciate your help.

How can I ever thank you?

Oh, I know.

How about by burying you alive?

Run!

SPECTER:
This isn't the teacher's lounge.

After them.

Do I have to think of everything

around here?

FRED:
Velma, we need a spell

to get rid of these ghosts.

VELMA:

I'm on it. I'm on it.

My glasses.

SHAGGY:

Oops

-Sorry.

-Great.

You're gonna have to find a spell.

FRED:
Come on!

-Wait for me.

Okay, gang, in here.

Shh.

All right. I think we're safe.

FRED:

Go!

DAPHNE:
Oh. no. Spiders!

VELMA:
Spiders.

FRED:

Shaggy, come on.

DAPHNE:

Ah!

-Shaggy!

SHAGGY:
Okay.

Okay, I think I got one.

Oh, man.

Shaggy, wrong spell!

Go!

MAN:
[ON FILM]

See the world in wax, improve your mind.

See the chamber of horrors

and scare yourself out of a year's growth.

-Anyone for chicken cordon boo?

-Oh!

SPECTER:
Aha! There you are.

Where did you kids run off to?

FRED:
Shaggy, we need a new spell.

-Will do. All right, all right, hold on.

SPECTER:

The fun's over. Get them!

EZEKIAL:
We're sorry.

PRUDENCE:
We were under his control.

We did it.

SPECTER:
You think that changes anything?

I'm still the only one getting out of here.

SPECTER:

Ah!

Great job, Scoob.

SHAGGY:

That's my boy.

-Now, let's see who this clown really is.

SPECTER:
No, no, no.

ALL:

Principal Deedle?

You ruined everything.

I was so close.

The time capsule was in my hands.

VELMA:

This doesn't make any sense.

What could be in the time capsule

that's so valuable...

...a principal would wanna close

his own school?

Only one way to find out.

It's just a bunch of old letters

and papers and stuff.

Not just letters. Letters with stamps.

And look at this one.

-It's a misprint.

-Yes. The Eerie stamp.

The most valuable misprint

in the entire world.

It would have been all mine...

...if it weren't for you meddling kids

and your dog.

That's me.

Scooby-Doo.

Scoob, Scoob, come on, buddy.

Come on.

I know. I love you too, boy.

I love you too. I know.

We solved the mystery. It's okay.

I understand.

And that is why all of Coolsville

owes these students a debt of gratitude.

And I want to personally apologize

for wrongly accusing you.

I just... I just love this school so much.

So tell us, kids.

How did you solve the mystery?

Well, it was a combination

of Fred's leadership.

And Velma's brains.

Daphne's resourcefulness.

And the most important ingredient

of all...

...our friendship.

Thank you.

That was beautiful, Shaggy.

And now, to mark the occasion...

...we are going to officially bury

the Coolsville Academy time capsule.

SHAGGY:

Whoops.

Zoinks.

Sorry.

Accidents happen.

I can't believe it.

We solved an actual mystery.

I have to admit...

...it's much more satisfying solving them

than it is reading about them.

Yeah, and this way,

no one can ruin the ending for you.

Sorry.

So, like, what do we do now?

I don't know.

-I guess we'll see each other on the bus.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-The bus.

DAPHNE:

Okay.

Hey, I'll see you around.

-I'll see you around.

-Okay.

VELMA:

Okay? Okay.

Bye.

Come on, Scoob.

VELMA:

Actually, wait. Hold on.

I hear there's been some strange goings-on

at the Coolsville Museum.

-Anyone feel like checking it out?

-Sounds like another mystery. I'm in.

Count me in too.

-What do you say, guys?

-Hey, I'd go anywhere with you all.

-How about it, Scoob?

-No way.

Well, would you do it

for a Scooby Snack?

-Scooby snack?

SHAGGY:
Yeah.

I figure you love these so much,

I'd name them after you.

-I'm in.

-Glad you're on board, Scoob.

-It wouldn't be the same without you.

-Scooby-Dooby-Doo.

All right, come on, gang. Let's go.
