[bagpipe music]

[Willie] Oh, Uncle Dooger,
I'm sure glad
you came to Scotland

to stay while
mother and father are away.

Oh, Willie, I'm always happyto be with me favorite laddie.



[chuckles]
Thanks for letting
me friend Matt come over too.

Oh, and tell us
the story about the ghost

that used to be in this castle

and how the Ghostbusters
caught him.

You want to hear
that one again?

Alright, but later on.

Now, you lads go on and play.

And don't be gettin' intoany mischief either, you hear.

-We won't.
-We won't.

Ghosts, I'd forgotten
all about them.

I sure am glad the Ghostbusters
were around before.

I wonder what they're
up to these days.

[Jake Sr.]
There's nothing to it,
Tracy.

You just hold the banana
at the bottom like this...

and squeeze.

-Now my turn.
-[Jake Sr.] Not that hard!

Gross!

[laughing]

[Eddie]
Looks like our dads
have been teaching Tracy

new tricks again.

Very funny! Plus, that's
more action than we've had

around here in a while.

Yeah, it sure has been quiet.

Well, relax, son.

Something's bound
to happen soon.

[door latch clicks]

[Matt]
I wonder what's in here.

[Willie]
I don't know. I've never been
in there before.

-Let's get out of here.
-Wait, look over there.

[Willie] That's funny.
There's a light
inside the wall.

This stone is loose.

Hey, don't do that.

Quit worryin' and help me!

[Matt] What do you suppose
it is?

I don't know
and I don't care.

Take the top off, Willie,
there might be treasure inside.

[laughing]

Whoo! Matt, don't go!

[Matt]
See you around, Willie,
I gotta go home now.

[laughing]

Yeah! Yeah-h-h!
That feels good.

I'm Slort,
king of the trolls.

And I've been imprisoned
in that urn for 40 years.

H-h-hello, Mr. Slort.

Now, I can rebuild
my army of trolls

and get even with the ones
who trapped me.

Who trapped you?

[grumbling] The Ghostbusters.

Because you freed me,
I'll leave you alone.

[laughing]

[intense music playing]

[laughing]

There's my first victim.

Uncle Dooger! Uncle Dooger!

[Uncle Dooger]
Get away, laddie.
I cannot come out right now.

Poor Uncle Dooger.

He's turning into a troll
and it's all my fault.

I've got to find another adultwho can help me.

Ah, the Ghostbusters!

Uncle Dooger's told me
the stories about them.

I just hope they're true.

Hello, operator, can you please
get me the Ghostbusters?

Yes, in America.

[phone ringing]

I'll get it.

Sorry, the Ghostbusters
are out.

Out of their minds, that is.

[snickering]

[Jake]
Knock it off, Ansabone.

Ghostbusters here.
Jake speaking.

Oh, Jake, am I glad to get
a hold of you. I need help.

[Willie over telephone]
My name is Willie.

I let a ghost out
of some sort of vase.

[Jake]
A ghost, huh?
Where do you live?

[chuckling]

And I'll be ready
when you get here.

Troll trouble in Trotland,
er, Scotland.

Let's get into uniform
and then..

[all]
Let's go, Ghostbusters!

[spluttering]
Oh, hey, what do I look like?
A trampoline?

Flight mode, Tracy.

With that big ape drivin',
it oughta be "fright" mode.

[growling]

[Ghost Buggy screams]

That's Bonnie Scotland
dead ahead.

Y-y-you got that r-r-right.

You guys are the biggest
dead heads I know.

[Eddie] Nice-lookin' place.

If you like scary, old castles.

[laughing]

Here come those troll busters.

Now I'll get even with them
for lockin' me up.

Boy, the peaceful country
sure is noisy.

[beeping]

Well, let's go in
and bust this troll bozo.

[Slort laughing]

First, you'll have to get in,
if you can.

Now, slave,
raise the draw bridge.

[all grunting]

[grunting]

Don't worry, Tracy,
we'll get you down.

A-ha! No need, friends.
I'll be happy to oblige.

Tracy...

Hope you enjoy your visit.

[Slort laughing]

[Jake]
Nice work, Trace.

Hey!

Don't lower the draw bridge.

[thud]

[grumbling]

Are you guys the Ghostbusters?

That's we... er, us.

Hah! You just gotta
help my Uncle Dooger.

A while ago, you guys
caught a ghost named "Slort".

The king of the trolls.

Well, he changed my uncle
into a troll.

And now you gotta
catch him again.

I don't remember capturing
a ghost named Slort.

-Do you, guys?
-Unh-unh.

But if you say we did,
we'll do it again.

[grunting]

Huh?

This is the room
where we found...

[gasps] Slort!

-[Jake] You're Slort?
-Yeah, I'm Slort.

Who in the prime evil
world are you?

W-w... we're the Ghostbusters.

-You're not the Ghostbusters.
-Sure they are.

See? Even he says we are.

Blah! This is a waste of time.

Use the dematerializer, Jake-o.

I'll just finish you off.

I don't know who this bozo is,but he's history.

[Eddie] He got away.

Hmm. He said
the Ghostbusters trapped him.

But we didn't know him
and he didn't know us.

I don't get it.

Maybe we busted him
in the future

and since it hasn't happened
yet, we can't remember it.

Yeah, well, that makes sense.

Whatever you said. Eh!

-Oh!
-Hey, what...

[growling]

Tracy, take care of this guy.

Wait! He's my uncle!

Or at least, he's a troll
my uncle turned into.

Anyway, you can't hurt him.

Right, but I don't thinkhe's worried about hurtin' us.

[growling]

I never thought
it would end like this...
gettin' trolled.

[Jake] I've got it.

Tracy, did you
bring the bagpipes?

Yeah.

Bagpipes? Now?

You better have him play
something real sad.

[Jake]
First thing you do
is blow up the bag.

[boom]

[crash]

Oh, no!

Hold on, unc.
The Boomer Rope oughta stop ya.

Hang on to this
for a minute, big fella.

[chuckling]
You guys are super-duper.

You saved us and Uncle Dooger.

Not so fast. We still
have to capture Slort

and change your uncle back.

Hey, since you're not
the Ghostbusters...

you might as well
join my army of trolls.

Look out!

[Tracy grunting]

[Slort]
Get them, slaves.

[whimpers]

[panting]
At least, we got time
to catch our breath.

[Slort] That's what you think.

Now I'll turn you turkeys
into trolls.

I'll stun this spook
with th--

Whoa!

[boom]

Eddie, you never cease
to amaze me.

You fools! I can't change you
into trolls now.

But you'll never get out
of here anyway... slaves.

[growling]

[Slort]
Take them away.

Well, Tracy took
the dematerializer.

Looks like
we've had it this time.

How come we don't know
this silly spirit

and he doesn't know us?

Gee, you guys
shouldn't feel bad
about not remembering something

that happened
40 whole years ago.

Forty years ago?

No wonder we didn't
recognize him.

-We didn't capture him.
-But I know who did.

[speaking in unison]
Our fathers!

[Jake] Good thing Tracy didn'tget our Two-way Communicators.

This is Jake Kong calling.
Come in, Ghost Command.

I repeat.
Come in, Ghost Command.

I heard you the first time.

I repeat.
I heard you the first time.

[snickering]

Jakey, my boy,
how goes the ghost gatherin'?

[Jake speaking indistinctly]

Sure I remember Slort.

We'll be there
as soon as we can.

Is that tricky troll Slort
loose again?

Yup. We gotta help the boys.

[both in unison]
Let's go, old Ghostbusters!

How are we gonna get there,
wherever "there" is?

[Jake Sr.]
Have you forgotten our buddy?

Which buddy, buddy?

Oh-ho, that buddy.

[coughing]

Ol' Ghost Buggy.

Just like the good old days,
Eddie old friend.

[spluttering]
You fellers aren't plannin'
on startin' me up, are you?

Well, we sure are.

[Old Ghost Buggy groaning]

[Jake Sr.]
That's it.
Let's roll, pardner.

[Eddie Sr.]
Alright.

I knew you could do it,
old boy.

[bagpipes music playing]

They're here.

I knew they wouldn't
let us down.

No, but I'm gonna have to.

Yeow!

Here we are, back in business.

What's this? More visitors?

These ghost packs
sure aren't as handy

as those new fangled ones
the boys use.

[grunting]I can't believe it. It's them.

The real Ghostbusters.

Now I'll get even with them

and after I do, I'll take overthe rest of Scotland.

[sniffs]

I haven't lost my nose
for ghosts.

Slort's around here somewhere.

You know,
he feels close to me too.

As if he were breathing
down my neck.

[growling]

The Ghost Post will fix him.

-Jake, wait, this is Tracy.
-You're right.

Slort must have
put him under a spell.

I've got just the thing.

The Spell-breaker Mirror
should do the trick.

Hurry!

If I could just reflect
the moonlight into his eyes.

The ring!

Ah, what am I doing?

Go let the kids out
of the dungeon.

I've got to de-troll Tracy.

Hey, fuzz ball,
forget about him.

Bet you can't catch me.

[growling]

Huh?

Hurry up, clouds.

[growling]

What happened?

Good to have you back,
big fella.

Thanks for helping out, pop.

Nothing can stop the Kongs now.

[Slort]
That's what you think.

You got my trolls

but now I've got you,
goon busters.

I'll tear this castle apart,
stone by stone with my rage.

And when you're sucked
into this fury

you'll be lost forever.

Tracy,
where's the dematerializer?

I don't know.

[Willie]
Help!

What are we gonna do now?

Hey, I've got
our old Ecto-Magnetizer.

Hurry, Mr. Kong, hurry!

Almost ready! Hang on!

Yike!

Switch it on!

It's not working!

Hey-heyy!

[Tracy] No problem.

-We did it, partner.
-You said it, partner.

-You're all safe.
-Oh! Thanks to you
brave laddies.

Is the case closed, dad?

It's in the bag, son.

[Slort grunting]

Well, next time we'll know
Slort when we see him.

Uh-- There won't be a next
time.

'Cause I'll never go
where I'm not supposed to
again.

[bagpipes music playing]

[Ghost Buggy spluttering]

Oh, gosh, Uncle Dooger,
we learned our lesson.

I know you did, laddies.

I just want to make sure
you didn't forget.

Willie was wrong when he went
into the part of the castle

he wasn't supposed to be in.

But he was right to go to his
uncle when he had a problem.

But his uncle
couldn't help him.

Then he did the next best
thing, told another adult.

That's what you should do whenyou can't talk to your parents.

Talk to a teacher,
a priest or a policeman.

Don't go baddie, like Belfry.
