The Ghost Breakers Page #7

always say gesundheit...

when anybody sneezes. I didn't sneeze.

I ain't got the strength.

You didn't sneeze?

Well, if you didn't sneeze,

and I didn't sneeze,

something smells

around here.

And it ain't

fried chicken.

Who could it

have been?

It's the guy that sent

the death warning to Mary.

It's the volunteer fireman that

tried to drop the bucket on us.

It's the ghost we've been

chasin' since we left New York,

and he's right here

in this castle!

What's the matter? Why do you

let me babble on like this?

Suppose he's listening.

Suppose he knows I know.

Suppose we get out of here.

We'll go have a talk...

with Mother Divine and that

phony zombie son of hers.

From the frying pan right into

the fire! We'll turn on the heat.

If anyone should join the angel throng

tonight, we can have her as an accessory.

Look out!

Hold him, boss!

Hold him!

Alex, quick,

get the can opener!

Hold him, boss,

hold him!

I got him, boss! I got him! I got him!

It's the zombie!

It ain't Baby Snooks!

Oh!

Move over, Alex.

Here I come.

Here come some more ghosts!

Alex! Alex!

In the closet, boss!

Wait now!

Oh, Larry!

Oh, boy,

let him out again.

Is that sho' enough

Miss Mary?

Larry, what in the world

was... Before we go any further,

allow me to tell you that you're the

most beautiful ghost that ever walked.

I couldn't let you have

all this fun by yourself.

How'd you get

over here, Miss Mary?

When boats won't land, you swim.

Swim? Didn't anyone

tell you about the sharks?

Never mind the

sharks. Larry, the picture.

Oh, she was lovely,

wasn't she?

Yeah, she certainly was.

And she's improved with age.

There's nothing in

reincarnation, is there? Why?

I seem to understand her.

She's pointing at something

she wants us to know.

She's telling us the way to

solve the secret of the place.

What's down there? Oh, just

some of your stuffed ancestors.

Take me there.

Sure.

You stay here,

just in case.

Yes, sir.

Lady, if you can tell 'em anything,

tell 'em to get outta here!

Don't move!

If you a ghost, this ain't

gonna do me no good,

but if you isn't,

it ain't gonna do you no good.

Now which is you?

Wait now! Hold on! Hold on!

I'm no ghost.

You're Mr. Lawrence's

man, aren't you?

Yes, sir. Is Miss Carter here?

Yes, sir. Is she all right?

Did she arrive safely?

Yes, sir.

Well, as long as you two are

on deck to look after her,

I guess there's no reason for me to...

My boat! Someone's

stealing my motorboat!

Is you there, zom?

Okay.

Larry.

Hmm?

Look up there.

What does it say?

"God's" something.

Treasures!

That word is "treasures," isn't it?

Yes. "God's treasures

in abundance lie."

That's it. Something,

something "heavenly."

"Heavenly key

before they die."

Hmm, there's more to this

than meets the eye.

You're telling me. That's a

message if I ever read one.

Look for a key.

What kind of a key?

The only keys I ever saw in church

were in the collection basket.

Listen, let's find a keyhole,

then look for a key to fit it.

Here are a lot of keys.

Very funny.

Very funny.

Well, it could mean music.

Not on that organ.

It doesn't work.

I thought you said it

didn't play. It didn't.

Someone or something has

pumped air into it since I left.

There's a gag here

somewhere.

Holy smoke!

What's the matter?

Don't look now, but grandpappy

is having a nightmare.

Mr. Parada!

Easy, old boy.

We'll get you out.

It's no use.

I've only a few minutes.

He stabbed me.

Who?

Who did it?

L... I came here to warn you,

to protect you.

Under the...

Under the castle,

fortune...

A f-fortune.

What kind

of fortune?

You'll find it.

Music.

Marching men.

The organ.

Oh, he must be

delirious.

Listen, Parada, tell us

who did this to you.

Music.

Marching men.

Org...

Mr. Parada!

Upstairs at the end

of the hall.

Men.

Marching men.

Larry! The marching men

are notes of music!

The key! That's what

he was trying to tell us!

Keep playing,

Mary! Keep playing! Higher!

That's enough!

Look!

I'll see what's down there.

You stay here.

Alone? Here?

Oh, no!

All right.

Watch it.

Look at these

old slave chains.

Yes, but who lit

this lantern?

Look at these railway tracks

running through here.

Reminds me of my hotel room

in Scranton.

It's some sort

of a mine.

Here.

It's stuck.

Find something

to pry it open.

Here's something.

Oh!

Let me have it.

Ramon's twin brother.

Thanks.

My name is Lawrence.

I was there when

your brother was shot.

In fact, I thought I'd

done it myself until...

- You can't get away with it!

- Now listen!

Not you!

Look out!

Geoff! Back away!

Put that down!

Back away!

You, too!

Move!

Put your hands

behind your back.

Let the girl go.

For what?

I did everything I could

to keep her away from here.

I even tried to buy her out, but first

your brother and then Parada crossed me!

What's it all about?

A vein of silver as wide as the

island, that's what it's all about!

I discovered it

and it's mine!

- Who told you about it?

- What difference does it make?

None now, because it's not

going to do you any good.

Now wait a minute!

Let Mary go!

Nobody's going to carry

any tales out of here!

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes!

Boss, did I press

the wrong button?

I'll match you

to see who faints first.

I can explain everything that

happened but that transparent ghost.

Wasn't it Geoff?

He arranged everything else.

He couldn't reach the island that fast from

the nightclub. I wonder if Mederos knows?

- Hey, Commodore!

- Yes?

Who was that playing,

Don Santiago?

He wasn't playing.

That was the real ghost.

Now we have something to

worry about on our honeymoon.

Our what?

Our honeymoon.

Didn't I tell you? No, but

I'd like to hear about it.

You would?
