I want it back.

How did you get it?

How do you think? I stole it.

Yeah, but, boss, it's
in the Middle East Museum.

That's the most heavily
guarded museum in the world.

I know that.

[hissing]

It's filled with
alarms and traps and..

[teeth chattering]

[shattering]

Don't you think I know

that too, Batriff?

And I've found
just the ghosts I need

to break into the museum
and get the diamond.

- Right.
- Come on.

We've got more spooking to do.

I don't think I'm
gonna like this.

Ha ha. Fat chance.

Some robots never learn.

Knock it off, Ansabone.

If we do a jobon the Ghostbusters

Prime Evil mighthear about it.

- Yeah. Alright.
- Yeah. Alright.

Well, you can count
me out, Big Tooth.

You guys are
looking for...trouble.

Gee, Flossy,
you're no fun anymore.

Come on, we'll
do it without her.

No. That way.

Oh, I'll get 'em.

[indistinct chattering]

Time to send these pestsback to Ghost Limbo.

That's what you think.

[guitar music]

Hey, there is
another ghost.

That music, it's,it's beautiful.

Yeah, but it's
making me sleepy.

[yawning]

[snoring]

Alright. That guitar's good
for something after all.

I'm only helping you
'cause you're my friends.

I still don't like
what you're doing.

Whatever. Come on, let's
bite our way out of this net.

[music continues]

Phew! That's some kinda guitar.It put us all to sleep.

Hey, those ghosts
are gettin' loose.

chomp chomp chomp

No chance. They'regoing to Ghost Limbo.

- Wait.
- Now what?

Don't send them to Ghost Limbo.

They're really not bad ghosts.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Yeah. I mean, really.

I don't know. You guys have
been scaring a lot of people.

Hey, just joking around. Honest.

We didn't do anything
really spooky.

It's true. Give us a chance.

And I promise we won't
scare anybody else.

Except maybe...on Halloween.

What do you guys think?Should we let 'em go?

Sure. They're harmless.

Uh-uh.

Two votes, yes.One vote, no.

Okay, we'll give you a chance

but you'd better not blow it.

Let 'em loose, Trace.

pop pop

Don't forget, any more trouble

and we'll be back
here in a flash.

Are they gone?

He he he. Yeah.

We sure fooled
the Ghostbusters. He he he.

Ha ha ha.Good work, Flossy.

"Good work?"

I meant what I
said when I promised

we wouldn't get
into any more trouble.

Oh, come on, Flossy,
you're a Tooth Scary too.

We ghosts don't have
to tell the truth.

Oh, yeah? Well, maybe
it's time we changed that.

[thunder rumbling]

- What's that?
- I don't know.

[thunder rumbling]

W-w-what are we gonna do?

[Prime Evil]
'I'll tell you what to do.'

[sizzling]

[laughing]

[all]
Prime Evil?

[Prime Evil laughing]

[intense music]

What's the matter, Trace?

- Tooth Scaries.
- The Tooth Scaries?

You don't think they meant whatthey said about being good?

- Nope.
- Okay.

Let's go back and see
what they're up to.

Okey-dokey.

[tires screeching]

Big Tooth is right.

Ghosts don't have
to tell the truth.

Glad you agree with me,Prime old buddy.

[hissing]

Don't call me Prime!

And never call me buddy!

zap

Oh, no, sir, uh,
Mr. Prime, uh-uh, Mr. Evil.

Uh, uh, it sure got
hot all of a sudden.

Now, I have a job
for you Tooth Scaries.

- Yes.
- Ha ha ha.

First, we go
to Hauntquarters.

- Oh, yeah.
- Wait a minute, guys.

Don't forget, we promised
the Ghostbusters.

Ghost...uh, uh...busters?

That's right, Mr., um, uh, Evil.

We promised we wouldn't get introuble so we can't go with you.

[hissing]

You misunderstood.

I didn't ask you
to go to Hauntquarters

I told you, you were going.

[hissing]

[thunder rumbling]

[Jake]
'Prime Evil.
He's got the Scaries.'

[thunder rumbling]

'They're gone.'

But what wouldhe want with them?

Good question.
Wish I had a good answer.

We've gotta find out
what they're up to.

Madam Why.

Madam Why.
Maybe she can tell us.

Good thinking, Trace. Let's go.

[thunder rumbling]

Gee, Hauntquarters. Far out!

I have need of your small
and insignificant talents.

Watch.

'The Diamond of the Nile.'

'The largest diamond
in the world.'

'I want it.'

But it's in the most heavily
guarded museum in the world.

How are you gonna
get in to get it?

I'm not. You are.

[hissing]

[laughing]

Well, you can count me out.

I don't steal from anybody.

Now, if you don't mind, I'dlike to get back to the city.

[sizzling]

You'll get back
when I tell you to!

zap

Yipes! My teeth are freezing.

Please, Flossy, do what he says.

Ooh, oh, alright,I'll do what you want.

But first,unfreeze Sweet Tooth.

That was a mouthful
of icicles. Blech!

Here's the plan.

We'll begin by
using your music.

[Jake]
'Prime Evil must be planning
to use the Tooth Scaries.'

Yeah, but for what?

Hmm, I think I've got something.

Wow! What a rock!

It surely is something.

What?

I've never seen anything
like it in my life.

Uh-huh, that's got
to be the biggest diamond

this side of Texas.

[Jake]
'The Diamond of the Nile.'

He wouldn't
be foolish enough

to try to steal
that from the museum.

Prime Evil's not foolish.He's smart.

We'd better find out
what he's up to.

[Big Tooth]
'Yeah, okay, Flossy,
this is our big chance.'

Get that magic guitar goin'.

I don't like this.

There's no choice.

Prime Evil's watchingus in his view-screen.

If we don't do whathe says, he'll freeze us.

Oh, alright.

[guitar music]

What's that music?

Oh, it's so pretty.

I think I'll just sit
down and...and listen.

[snoring]

Yeah, it worked. Yeah.

Let's go inside.

whoosh whoosh whoosh

[dramatic music]

[Flossy]
'Wow! Look at that.'

Okay, Tooth Scaries, let'schomp that diamond outta there.

[music continues]

chomp chomp

[alarm buzzing]

- What's that?
- It's the alarm.

Now, quick

help me chew this rock loose
before we get caught.

[alarm buzzing]

Uh-oh! The alarm's been set off.

Yeah, but look,
the guards are asleep.

[snoring]

They sure are. Sound asleep.

Gee, how are we gonna get in?

Sorry we have to do it,
but there's only one way.

- Go to it, Trace.
- Okey-dokey.

[music continues]

[grunting]

I heard a noise.

[upbeat music]

So, this is how you guys
stay out of trouble, huh?

The Ghostbusters.

- Uh-oh!.
- 'Look out!'

boing

[music continues]

I got it.

splatt

[hissing]

Excellent.

After 4000 years,
the Diamond of the Nile

is mine again.

Hold on, Prime Evil.

That diamonddoesn't belong to you.

It will in a minute.

- Now, hand it over.
- No chance, Prime.

[laughing]

That puny dematerializer
won't affect me.

Don't give it to him,Big Tooth.

Stay out of it, Flossy.

Give me the diamond
and you will have

riches and power beyond
your wildest dreams.

Yeah, and you'll also knowthat you're nothing but a thief.

Yeah, that's not true.
I'm not a thief.

I was just doing
a-a-a favor for Prime Evil.

Then don'tgive it to him.

- And you know it.
- She's right, Big Tooth.

This is your second chance.

Make the most of it.

I don't know why I'm
doing this, but okay.

Blast! You'll pay for that.

Yeah, like, put iton my credit card, man.

[laughing]

What happened?

The reflected light
from that diamond.

It's blinding him.

Stop it! Stop it, I can't see!

You want to play?
Alright. Try this.

Uh-oh! The beam
hit the ceiling.

Yeah, it's coming loose.

No problem.

Quick, Jake.Shine the light on him again.

Right.

Hey, cut it out.

[instrumental music]

Eddie, we gotta stop him

before he wrecks
the whole museum.

Put the dematerializer
on max power

and aim it at the diamond.

Max? We've neverused that much power.

There's no telling what will--

No time to talk, Eddie.
Do it.

Okay, full power.

[intense music]

[grunting]

What are you doing?
The diamond..

It's working.
Keep it at full power.

Just don't put them to sleep.Ha ha ha.

Okay.

[guitar music]

Hi, gang, the Tooth Scaries

had a hard decision
to make in today's show.

But I think they
made the right choice.

[Skelevision]
Boy, can you believe
how those bad guys

turned around
and became good guys?

[instrumental music]

creak

Yes, I can. 'Cause I sawthem do those good things.

And people are the same way.

Everyone can change
for the better.

You can and you can and you can.
