Spooky Month/Transcript

Pre-Spookeez
(It is a rainy evening. Cherry is at her house when she hears a knock on the door. She goes over to answer it and sees Keith standing outside, a little drenched from the rain)

Cherry: Oh, you’re here! Thanks for helping me babysit.

Keith: No problem!

Cherry: Just so you know, the kids...Might have heard about your battle with Dad, and…

Keith: They wanna battle, too? Okay! Let’s rock!

Skid: That sounds so fun!

Pump: Let’s go for it, friend!

(Cherry brings out her portable music player and starts the song. As Skid and Pump sing, they do their trademark Spooky Dance)

Spookeez
Skid: My name is Skid!

Pump: Nice to meetcha, I’m Pump!

Both: Ha ha!

Keith: Where’d you get those spooky-soundin’ names from? Ha ha!

Skid: We represent the Spooky Month!

Pump: It’s our favorite time of year!

Keith: You represent the Spooky Month? Seems like a chance to best my fears!

Skid: Then get ready to…

Pump: Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream!

Skid: Watchin’ our…

Pump: Beats! Beats! Because we sing as a…

Skid: Team! Team! Team! Team!

Pump: So admit…

Skid: Defeat!

Both: Beat that!

Keith: Now get ready to Scream! Scream! Scream! Scream! I can’t be Beat! Beat! You might sing as a Team! Team! Team! Team! But you’ll face Defeat! Take that!

Pump: You’re pretty good!

Skid: Wanna be our new friend?

Both: Ha ha!

Keith: Maybe I should! What’ve you guys got penned? Ha ha!

Pump: We’ll do a lot of spooky things!

Skid: We’ve got ‘em on a spooky list!

Keith: I’d look so brave doin’ spooky things! Sounds like a test I can’t resist

Pump: Then let’s go to the…

Skid: Grave-yard! Yard! Yard!

Pump: Go for a…

Skid: Laugh! Laugh! Following this beat

Pump: Ain’t hard! Hard! Hard!

Skid: Just sing both…

Pump: Halves! Halves!

Keith: We’ll go to the Grave-yard! Yard! Yard! And I’ll just Laugh! Laugh! Weaker folks would be Scarred! Scarred! Scarred! Scarred! Reading epitaphs!

Skid: We’ve got lots of Spooky Month games!

Pump: Like Wa-Hee’s Mansion! What a spooky pick! It’s so fun!

Keith: I played that one back when it came out! I’ll take a chance on watchin’ spooky flicks! You got one?

Skid: (I got you, bro!) There’s The Ooga Booga, but it might be too spooky!

Pump: Last time we watched that one, both of us got spooked silly!

Keith: (That sounds great, yo!) I’ll watch The Ooga Booga, but we need privacy! It’ll be safer if my girlfriend’s alone with me!

Pump: (If you say so…) We’ll get spooky ice cream, so you guys have fun, I guess!

Skid: That tape plays like a dream on our spooky VHS!

Keith: Thanks! Y’all can go!

(Song ends and Skid and Pump leave, but not before giving Keith their tape. Keith and Cherry pop the tape into the VHS and sit down on the couch to watch it. Keith looks at Cherry and can tell that she’s a little nervous)

Keith: Don’t worry, Cherry. If you get scared, grab my chest! I’ll keep you safe from dangers, even the spookiest!

(Suddenly, the Ooga Booga Witch appears onscreen and jumpscares Keith)

Ooga Booga Witch: Ooga...BOOGA!

Keith: AAAH!

(Keith is so scared that he grabs Cherry’s chest)

Keith: It’s so spooky! Save me, Cherry!

Cherry: There, there...You’re such a little fraidy-cat, Keith.
