[pounding]

[Prime Evil]
Alright, alright, I'm coming.

Big Evil, what are you..



What brings you to visit us,
Your Greatness?

I've come to make a change
here at Hauntquarters

Prime cream puff.

Uh-oh!

Uh, change?
What kind of change?

You! You're finished here.

Washed up, kaput,
finished, gone, bye-bye.

[Prime Evil]
Sire, but, but, but--

But... but nothing.

You've let those
Ghost Bunglers

beat us ghosts
for the last time.

A-ah!

I, I feel so weak..

What have you done to me?

Not much.

Just zapped you with the spell
of the Arcane Curse...

[laughs] that's all.

No, no, not the Arcane Curse.

I'll lose all my powers
and I'll fade away to nothing.

That's right.

You'll only be a memory,
Prime Evil.

Only nobody will remember you.
[laughs]

[whirring]

No!

[boom]

[poof]

Yuck!
Locked in my own ribcage.

And all because of those
goody-goody Ghost Bunglers.

I hate them to pieces.

[Jake] Positions, everyone.
Stand by.

Test firing
of the bubble blaster

will start in exactly
five seconds.

Huh? Test firing?
Five seconds?

-Four, three..
-Lemme outta here.

...two, one, fire!

[pop]

Not enough power, Trace.

Aha!

There, that oughta do it.

Ooh, ooh. Too much..
Too much, too much.

[Jake]
Watch it, watch it.

Ya-hoo-hoo! Go away!

I'm never ever
gonna touch something

I'm not supposed to touch.

Never ever again.

[sighs] Well, at least
it's a nice day for--

[Eddie] Belfry, help!

Uh-oh! Better check that out.

Oh, my gosh!

[indistinct muttering]

Belfry, you heard us.

You've gotta
get us outta here.

Your blast, Belfry.
Use your blast.

My blast?

Uh, you sure?

-Yeah.
-Do it! Now!

Okay, guys.
If that's what you want.

Get ready. Here it comes.

[screaming]

[thud]

[sighing]

Wow, that thing's great.

Can't wait till we get a chance
to use the bubble blaster

on old Prime Evil.

He'll be whacked up for good.

[eerie music]

[Prime Evil] Okay, that's it.
No more Mr. Nice Guy.

I'm gonna blast my way
outta here.

[zapping]

Argh!

Drat that Big Evil!
My powers are gone.

I don't believe
what I'm seeing.

Now I'm, I'm disappearing.

Prime Evil, calm down.

Brat-A-Rat!

I'm here to help you escape.
Come on.

Your powers are
almost gone, boss.

And the more you
try to use them

the sooner you will
vanish completely

and forever,
forever completely.

This terrible spell. How will
I ever free myself from it?

Well, I checked the great book
of spells and there's one way.

But you're not gonna like it.

What is it? What is it?
Dragon liver? Toad jam?

I'll do anything. Tell me.

The only way
to break the spell

is... to perform

a genuine
heartfelt good deed.

A good deed?

That's disgusting.

[dramatic music]

[Prime Evil muttering]

Me, Prime Evil,
dumped in a dump.

Ah! What's the world coming to?

-[ringing]
-[Jake] Uh-oh!
It's the ghost alarm.

And from the sound of it,
it's a big ghost too.

But where is it?

That's where it is.
Main Street.

Let's go bust that ghost.

Right.

Gee, guys,
I-I-I don't know.

I-i-it's late
and I'm kinda tired and..

Hey, this ghost is close.

My nose is twitching
like crazy.

Hear that, Tracy?
Let's go find it.

[thunder rumbling]

[Big Evil]
Come to me, my darling.

[laughing]

Go, my precious pets.

Find those despicable

those detestable

those, those
Ghost Bunglers.

And capture them.

[growling]

[Ghost Buggy sputtering]

[Jake]
On your toes, guys.

According to my nose,
the ghost is close.

Gee, Jake,
this is the third time

we've driven
around the block.

A-a-and there's still
no sign of a ghost.

Are you sure your nose
is working alright?

Yeah, Jake.

Maybe that super ghost-sniffing
schnozzle of y-y-yours

is out of whack,
like your b-b-brains.

Come on, guys, trust me.
My nose knows.

Well, now, think about it.

How hard can it be to perform
one little... good deed?

Alright, you miserable mortals,
which one of you needs a...

...good deed?

[screaming]

Oh, my gosh!

Come back here.
I'll teach you to..

Easy, calm yourself.

[Jake]
Hold it, bone face.

The Ghostbusters
have arrived.

Wait, wait!
It's not what you think. No.

I'm here because
I want to..

I want to perform
a good deed.

What? Mama, hold my hand!

You wanna do a good deed?

Yeah, Trace.
Sounds fishy to me too.

Look, you have to..

A-ah!

[Eddie]
Yikes! What's that thing?

It's one of Big Evil's
monsters.

He's after me. Help!

[Prime Evil] Look out!
It's Big Evil's monster.'

He's trying to keep me
from doing a...

...a good deed.

Ow! Wow, we're sitting ducks
here on the ground.

[screeching]

Correction.
Make that roasted ducks.

Ducks!
Good thinking, Eddie.

We'll get off the ground andfight that thing in the air.

Take off?
With that thing up t-t-there?

Are you serious-s-s?

[all screaming]

On the other hand,
what are we waiting for?

Let's get o-outta here.

[Prime Evil]
Here it comes.

Look out!

Uh-oh.

[swoosh]

Hey! That one
blistered my bumper.

Time to cool it, turkey.

Steady, Tracy, steady.

[coughing]

That takes care of that.

Alright, let's get back
to Ghost Command

and get to the bottom
of this "good deed" business.

Prime Evil's joined forces
with the Ghost Bunglers, eh?

So much the better.

I'll capture them
all at the same time.

[howling]

[Big Evil]
Get down there, my pets.

Get those Ghost Bunglers.

[beeping]

Oh, boy, they're back.

Hi, guy, eee..

-Prime Evil!
-Bah!

Don't worry, Belfry.
It's okay.

Prime Evil says he only wants
to do a good deed.

Huh? You wanna do
a good deed?

Yes. What's it to you?

Bow, bow, bow.

I've never seen anyone
as ugly as you, you, you.

I'll show you ugly.

[all screaming]

Huh? [laughs]
I don't get it.

Prime Evil's power bolts
just fizzled.

Yeah, we oughta start
calling him...

...Prime Fizzle.

[laughs] Prime Fizzle?

Prime Fizzle. That's what heis. Prime Fizzle.

[laughs] Prime Fizzle. [laughs]

Prime Fizzle. [laughs]

Ah, I'll fix you. I'll...

Oh, no!
I'm disappearing again.

-Prime Fizzle. [laughs]
-Prime Fizzle. [laughs]

Hey, guys, cut it out.

There's something wrong
with him.

I-i-it's not right to make fun.

Belfry's right, fellas.
Cool it.

Uh, gosh, sorry.

Yeah, me too. I'm sorry.

Thank you, little rat, uh,
I mean, uh, bat. [laughs]

Your, uh, your kindness
will not be forgotten.

Okay, Prime Evil,
level with us.

'What's this
about a good deed?'

Well, y-y-yes.

After years of being so,
so wonderfully wicked

I thought a little change
would be, uh, well, rewarding.

Oh, sure.

[alarm ringing]

Huh? Now what?

[alarm ringing]

[Jake]
Ghost attack. Look!

Ha! You're history, ghost.

[Belfry] Oh, my gosh!
There's another one.

[yowling]

Yeow! He-e-elp!

[zapping]

[babbling]

Drat!

[zap]

[Jake]
Tracy, behind you!

[grunting]

Oh, no! It's got Tracy too.

Now's your chance.
Do a good deed.

Save 'em.

Me? Save the Ghost Bunglers?

Don't be ridiculous.

[grunting]

[screaming]

[crash]

-Good work, Trace.
-Way to go, Trace.

[grunting]

[indistinct muttering]

Yeow! I-i-it's Big Evil.

Right you are,
Ghost Bungler.

Talk about a cold move.

Yeow!

Argh!

Hold still.

[Prime Evil]
Hey, you, Big Evil.

Not the bat. Leave him alone.
He helped me.

He helped you, Prime Evil?

Then I'll give him
a double dose of freeze ray.

[zap]

Yeow!

[Belfry] Help, help!

I told you to leave
that little bat alone.

What do you think
you're doing?

This.

No-o-o!

Oh, you saved me.

You actually
did something nice.

Argh! I don't believe it.

Ah! You're right.

[laughs]
I have my powers back.

I did do a good deed.

Good!

Use your powers to get me
out of this infernal bubble.

You've got to be kidding.

Hey, thanks to me,

the Ghost Bunglers
are your prisoners.

Yes, and thanks
to the Ghost Bunglers

I did a, yuck, good deed...

[laughs]

...and got all my
evil powers back.

So that's why
he wanted to do it.

Be cool, Jake.

I'll send my ghosts back
to take the three of you

to Haunt Quarters
before you know it.

[laughs]

[beeping]

[Belfry] Sorry, guys.

It's the only way I know to get
you outta there in a hurry.

[grunting]

Oh, no! Not that.

Not again.

Belfry's right, man.

We have to do it before
Prime Evil's ghosts come

to take us away.

Okay, get ready.
Here it comes.

[laughs]

[screaming]

[all screaming]

[glass shattering]

Oh, what's that..

Ah...

My head. Oh!

Let's get rid of this thing.

I've seen enough
of Prime Evil

to last me for a long,
long time.

-Right.
-Right.

Hi, folks, today we saw
how nobody thought

anyone as wicked as Prime Evil
could ever do a good deed.

But you know,
very few people are all bad.

And chances are, if you
show them a little kindness,

like Belfry did, you'll find
some good in most everyone.

But one thing's for sure.

If you treat somebody wrong

that's the way
you'll be treated in return.

Another way of saying this is

"Do unto others the way
you'd have them do unto you"

and that really
makes sense, does it?
