I don't see any ghost. Me? I'm no ghost. My feet! I am a ghost! NO!!! Kibosh Did you say "missing", you little runt? I'm in charge here and nobody skips training, especially little snot noses named Carter! Silence! Now, about this Caster. I HAVE no blood! This better be important. I hate guessing! You'd better not be wrong. A human teaching haunted techniques? It's unorthodox! It's... it's unheard of! It's... (Snivel: Un-American?) disgusting! Keep your eye on them. I'm on my way. Silence! I've been searching for you slackers far too long! Once I grab that brat Capper, it's back to processing for all of you for some radical retraining. Make sure you four never darken my tomb again. Hahahahahaha! Tim Carson That's it! You have a overactive imagination, it is time to grow up! Dialogue Kibosh: I'm in charge here and nobody skips training, especially little snot noses named Carter! Snivel: That's uh, Casper, sir. Kibosh: Silence! When I want your help, I'll beat it out of you! Snivel: Of course, oh mellow one. Kibosh: Now, about this Caster. Snivel: Casper. Sorry. Kibosh: How would it look if I, the mighty Kibosh, let some wide-eyed rookie run loose without any schooling? Snivel: Very embarrassing, sir. Kibosh: Embarrassing? It's disgraceful! Almost as bad as losing track of those three worm-headed deserters! What were their names? Snivel: Stinky, Stretch and uh... Fatso, sir. Kibosh: When I find those slackers, I'll tie a sheepshank on their bedsheet butts! Snivel: Your blood pressure, oh stupendous one. Kibosh: I have no blood! Now, find me this Casper and bring his sorry hooky-playing tush back here immediately! Snivel: I'm outta here... Kibosh: This better be important. Snivel: [on the payphone] Casper's in Deedstown and you'll never guess who's with him! Kibosh: I HATE GUESSING! [he slams his table] Snivel? Snivel: I'm sorry, your playful one. How foolish of me. The answer is the Ghostly Trio. Kibosh: You better not be wrong. Snivel: There's more! They're teaching Casper their own unorthodox... oh, may I say illegal ghostly techniques. They hope to use Casper to put you in your place. Kibosh: Don't even say those words! Those halloweenies can't out-teach me! Check on their progress. I want a full report tomorrow. Kibosh: Oh, it's worse. Way worse! The Ghostly Trio: Kibosh!? Kibosh: Count on it! Snivel: See? I told you they were here. I caught 'em red-handed! Kibosh: So, where is Chrysler? Snivel: Casper. Um, he's uh... Kibosh: Find him! Snivel: Ow! Yes, your backhandedness! Stinky: Big K. What a surprise! Stretch: You're looking eh... trim. Kibosh: Silence! I've been searching for you slackers far too long! Stretch: Not the cage! Stinky: I hate the cage! Fatso: No legroom! Kibosh: Now to find your little protege Kanker. Hahahahaha!
