Screenplay by James Gunn. Doo the fright thing. (taglines) Scooby-Doo ♪ Thank you for letting me be myself again! Oh, yeah! ♪ [C.L. Magnus: Hey! It's Scooby-Doo! That meddling mutt what helped throw us in jail!] Who, me? Nuh-uh. [chuckles nervously] Dr. Jonathan Jacobo Come alive! Come alive! So long, suckers! [falls] Help me, suckers! I would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling punks, and their dumb dog! The Evil Masked Figure You can't do this to me! Who do you think you are?! [Scooby: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!] Dialogue Daphne: Guys, come on! Remember what I told you? Shaggy: Never pick your nose in public? Daphne: [beat] No... but that's good, too. Scooby: Image is everything. Daphne: Yes! Image is everything. The whole city is watching, so try to keep a brave face. They're costumes. [The next day, the news has been cast on TV. Fred wore a white sweater beneath his blue collared shirt, orange ascot, blue jeans and brown shoes. Velma wore orange turtleneck sweater, red skirt, orange socks and red Mary Jane shoes. Daphne wore a purple dress with a wraparound top, green scarf, pink pantyhose and high-heeled lilac go-go boots and Shaggy wore a green V-neck shirt, brown bell-bottom pants and black converse] Heather: The higher the pedestal, the harder the fall. And Mystery Inc. fell far in the embarrassing debacle that tarnished the reputation of the once-great gang. It was an utter disaster. Two of the gang’s key members Norville "Shaggy" Rogers and Scoobert "Scooby-Doo" are seen here causing untold damage to Coolsville’s hottest new tourist attraction which took a full two years to complete. When asked for comment, Fred Jones, leader of Mystery Inc., said this: Fred: [On TV] Little old Coolsville can solve its problems without us. Fred: [gets annoyed] I didn’t say that! I mean… I did, but that’s out of context! Heather: And I guess little old Coolsvile will have to. This is Heather Jasper-Howe, disillusioned from Coolsville. Velma: [turns off the TV, feeling guilty while Scooby peeks from behind the kitchen and back down] It’s all my fault. I’m the one who told Shaggy and Scooby to get the ropes. Daphne: No, Velma, it’s my fault. I should have checked that they were tied before I let go. Fred: It’s my fault too. We all know how Shaggy and Scooby can be. But it’s all right. We just need to stay strong, in control, and work fast. Velma: Come on, gang. Let’s get to the lab. We’ll figure a way out of this Jurassic jumble. [The group headed to their research facility] Scooby: Shaggy? Shaggy: We’re screwups. Scooby: Yeah. Shaggy: I guess, looking back, every time they made a plan, we did screw it up somehow. I just never noticed before. Scooby: Me neither. Shaggy: There’s gotta be some way we can prove that we actually belong in the gang. We’ve gotta do something totally unlike us. You know, Scoob… …we could act like real detectives! Scooby: Really? Shaggy: [stands up] Scooby-Doo, raise your right paw. No, your right paw. Your other paw. Repeat after me. From this day forward, we will no longer be our goofy selves. We will be awesome detectives. And we will act more like Fred and Velma and Daphne. We will be terrific and fantastic and spectacular… …and cease to be "loser-iffic," "lame-tastic" and "suck-tacular." Scooby: Rah rah! Suck-tacular. Boy on bike #1: Hey! Scooby: Huh? Boy on bike #1: Nice job last night. Both boys on bikes: Losers! Daphne: [to the gang] Quick, we need to think of a comeback. Boy on bike #2: What dorks! Daphne: [to the boys] Hey! Shut up! Fred: Yo, Metalhead! Black Knight Ghost: Yes? Fred: Bring it! [The Black Knight Ghost repeatedly strikes out at the shield Fred is holding, dazing him] He brought it. [He faints] [The two men walk out of Faux Ghost] Shaggy: Okay, Scooby-Doo, the coast is clear. Scooby: Here we go. [They peak around the corner to see a club where the former villains hang out.] Shaggy: [points to Faux Ghost] That’s it, Scoob. The Faux Ghost. Man, I recognize a lot of these cats. Like, that’s C.L. Magnus. He used to dress up as Redbeard’s ghost. And that’s Aggie Wilkins, a.k.a. the Ozark Witch. These are all folks we unmasked. If they spot us, they’ll invite us to a weenie roast. One where we’re the weenies! Scooby: Mmm, Hot dogs! [licks the box] Shaggy: There’s gotta be some way that we can use our awesome, fearless new skills… to get us in there without being recognized. [In the Faux Ghost, the bar patrons are hanging out, arm wrestling, chatting, drinking beers and playing games that are billiards, ace cards and darts. Scooby and Shaggy came inside with costumes] Shaggy: Hey Hey Hey! Everyone part like the Red Rea. It’s me, Shizzy McCreepy, and my brother, S.D. McCrawley. We are in the house and ready to party. Aggie Wilkins: [walks to Scooby] Hey, handsome. Scooby: Hello, baby. They walk through patrons who played billiards and darts and head to find Old Man Wickles Man 1: A Ghost Clown is a heck of a lot scarier than a Cotton Candy Glob! Man 2: Hey, hey, hey! The men fight as Scooby and Shaggy run from the fight Wickles: Watch out, Idiot! Patron: Take him out. Shaggy: [notices Wickles] Old man Wickles. Wickles: [moves his hand at Shaggy] Leave me alone. Scooby: [tastes the pickled egg, but spits it out and wipes his tongue] Shaggy: I just wanted to say thank you. Your portrayal of the Black Knight Ghost was inspirational to my brother and me. [whispers to Old Man Wickles] Have you done anything cool and creepy lately? Wickles: [grabs Shaggy by the jacket] Listen, I’m not normally one for giving advice… but I feel sorry for you because of your brother’s hideous nose deformity. [points to exit of Faux Ghost] Get out of this game while you got a chance. All of us here ain’t nothing to admire. We needed people to believe we were different than we were. Maybe because we believed… that there was something wrong with who we were in the first place. Shaggy: I guess you’re sort of grateful to Mystery Inc… for unmasking you. Wickles: [enraged] Are you kidding? [bangs his fist on table] If I see those twerps, I’d tear their eyes out of their skulls. Make them eat the one eye while watching themselves eat it with the other eye! [insanely laughs] Shaggy: [nervously waves his hand] Bye. [to Scooby] Here’s a clue for you, Scoob. That dude’s wearing his freak hat 24/7. Scooby: Yeah. Shaggy: I gotta take a whiz. Don’t do anything to attract attention. [heads off to the bathroom] Scooby: Gotcha. Aggie Wilkins: [walks up] Hey, doll. You wanna dance? Scooby: Groovy. [They head for the dance floor] Scooby: Here we go. [gets on the stage and starts to dance while the Big Brovaz sing "Thank You (Falletin Me Be Myself Again)" Aggie: Shake it, baby. Scooby: Give me five![The villains line up beside Scooby]Scooby: Oh, yeah! Everybody! [leaps and gets caught by the crowd, cheering] Oh yeah! Hey, Shaggy! Shaggy: [arrives and notices Scooby's wig and outfit coming off, whimpers, gesturing that his wig is coming off. But Scooby thought he was giving out dance moves. In one move, his wig and outfit came off and landed in a guy's soup]Scooby: [singing] Thank you for retting me be myself again[The patrons recognized Scooby and got ticked]C.L. Magnus: Hey! It’s Scooby-Doo! [angrily points to Scooby] The meddling mutt what helped throw us in jail! Scooby: Who, me? [shakes his head] Uh-uh. Shaggy: No, wait, that’s not Scooby-Doo! That’s S.D. McCrawley. He’s just wearing a mask. [pulls on Scooby's face as if it was a mask and releases it] Ta-da! [his hat and outfit came off]Timmy: [angrily points to Shaggy] And that's Doo's beatnik best pal, Shaggy Rogers! Shaggy: Where? Timmy: There! Shaggyy: Zoinks! Gangway![The patrons chase Scooby and Shaggy angrily]Scooby: Run, Shaggy. Wait for me![They both ran away and jump into the garbage chute]Man: And stay out! Shaggy: Like, that wasn’t so bad, Scoob. Patrick: Stop wasting my time! Do you hear me?! Now, I want you to question all of your scum-bucket friends. They'll find out about what they know about those stolen costumes, or else you'll be known from here on in as the Soiled Underwear Ghost. I want answers! Now, go! Man: Yes, sir! Patrick: Now! Man: Yes, sir! Velma: Mr. Wickles, we need to ask you a few questions about your ties to recent monster attacks. Wickles: I don't know nothing about no monsters. Daphne: Then how come there was randomonium on the floor of your mansion? Wickles: There's-- there-- there's randomonium all over the place! Look it! [points at his glowing footprints] I come home with it in my shorts! Fred: Are you continuing the work of your old pal Jonathan Jacobo? Wickles: "Old pal"? Jacobo? We hated each other! In the prison cafeteria, he used to steal my tater tots! And he got the lead in My Fair Lady. Velma: Then why did we find the monster book in your library? Wickles: Wait a second... You're the runts that vandalized my home! [Fred, Daphne and Velma look awkward]Wickles: Which one of you stole my toilet brush?! Shaggy: [after accidentally being transformed into a woman] I've got a chick's body! Scooby: [accidentally turns into the Tasmanian Devil] I'm the Tasmanian Devil! Velma: [hands Shaggy the control panel] Here, Shaggy, take this. Shaggy: Why are you giving this to me? [hands it back to her]Velma: [hands it back to Shaggy] I'll distract those skeletal screwballs, you and Scooby get this to the Monster Hive. Shaggy: Us?! [looks at Scooby]Velma: Yes, you're faster than me. Once there, just plug it into the base, [points to a button on the control panel] and push this button. I fixed it so it'll destroy all the monsters. Shaggy: [slides down a wall] We'd love to. But... we can't. Scooby: We’re screw-ups. Shaggy: I mean, we tried being heroes like you guys, but we're not, okay? We're just not! Scooby: No. Velma: [surprised] Like me? [kneels next to Shaggy] That's funny... I've always wanted to be like you guys. [Shaggy and Scooby look at each other in confusion] You guys are so free. You're never afraid to be who you really are. Whether you're fearful, or joyful, or... hungry. I think you've been heroes all along. You just haven't known it. Black Knight Ghost: On your knees, knave. Fred: Can't you see we're talking? Black Knight Ghost: [repeated Fred line at the high school clubhouse] Talking is for wimps. Fred: You can't fool me with that macho façade. You're just afraid to show your sensitive side. Black Knight Ghost: [faking remorse] Oh, you've touched my inner child... AND HE'S REALLY MAD! Evil Masked Figure: You can't do this to me! Who do you think you are?! Scooby: Scooby...[zoom] Dooby... [zoom]] Doo! [The monsters turn back into the stolen costumes]Evil Masked Figure: [gasps] My monsters![The crowd is cheering as the Mystery Incorporated gang arrive with the Evil Masked Figure]Male Reporter: Mystery Inc., do you know the identity of the Evil Masked Figure behind at all? Velma: Well, if our hunch is correct, the Evil Masked Figure is…[She and Daphne remove the Evil Masked Figure's mask]Evil Masked Figure/Heather: NO![Heather, who is exposed, shakes her blonde hair and everyone gasps]Daphne: Heather Jasper-Howe. Scooby: Uh-huh. Huh?[Wickles and Patrick arrive while the crowd gets confused]Female Reporter #1: But she was at the museum when the Masked Figure was on the roof. Daphne: [to Heather] You almost had me there, didn't you? Lucky for her, she had an assistant helping her along with her evil plans. [Instead of looking at Patrick, who has braced himself for exposure, Daphne points at someone else] Ned. Scooby: Huh?[Two officers stop Ned from running. In a flashback, he gets dressed in Heather's costume last night]Daphne: When I realized she was the Evil Masked Figure, he quickly changed into her costume.[In the present]Female Reporter #2: But why did she do it?! Velma: Because Heather Jasper-Howe is actually… (Pause for effect.)[Heather's head becomes a mask which Velma removes]Scooby: Huh?[everyone gasps even louder]Velma: …Dr. Jonathan Jacobo. [a female police officer, Shaggy, Daphne, and Wickles get shocked] The original Pterodactyl Ghost. Gretchen Saunders Female Reporter #3: But how do you know this? Velma: A photo. Taken of Jacobo in front of the Coolsonian. Jacobo supposedly died a year before construction even began. Shaggy: So, Jacobo survived that fall off the prison wall. Scooby: Yeah. Fred: He also adapted the false Heather Jasper-Howe persona to turn the press against us. Daphne: Then he framed poor hideous Old Man Wickles by putting that book and the Black Knight Ghost in his mansion. Wickles: As if you getting the lead in My Fair Lady wasn't enough! Jacobo: I was an excellent Eliza, and you were to acty! Wickles: And stealing my tater tots! Jacobo: You kept saying you felt puffy! Fred: And the real identity of Ned is…[Fred tugs on Ned's hair; a tearing sound is heard. Ned is clearly human.]Ned: Ow! Fred: Ned! Scooby: Huh?[The officers escort Ned away with Jacobo]Jacobo: I would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddling punks and their dumb dog![The crowd cheers as Scooby laughs]Ned: You were a dude this whole time? Jacobo: Of course, dummkopf. Ned: [upset] But we cuddled. Taglines Monsters are Unleashed They came. They saw. They ran. Do the fright thing. Look Doo's back in theaters Got Monsters?
