[instrumental music]

[Eddie]Hey, everybody, I want you tomeet my little brother, Alan.

Little brother?Since when?

Since I joined
the Big Brother Program.

Alan, this is Jake.

Welcome to Ghost Command, Alan.

Wow! This is really somethin'.

Who's that?

[snoring]

[Jake]
Uh, that's Tracy.

-Look! That's Dr. Reiser.
-Doctor who?

[Alan]
Dr. Reiser the inventor.

He lives next door to us.I wonder what he's doing on TV.

[Eddie]
Let's see.

It is my pleasure to have Dr. Reiser

inventor of the new Ultrasub.

This is just a model of course.

Hey, Eddie, turn it up
so Alan can hear.

It is all the way.
It's just all that snorin'.

[snoring]

That's better.

Well, Doctor, tomorrow you're goin' all the way

to the bottom of the ocean. Excited?

Excited, you bet.

I've been working
20 years for this.

He's building that sub
at a dock
right next to our house.

Wow! Does he let you watch?

I could but then
I'd have to see
his yucky daughter, Amanda.

She's weird.

Weird? How?

Well, she has, you know,
make-believe friends

and she talks to them
all the time.

Alan, a lot of kidshave make-believe friends.

Not like Amanda.

Boo! Four o'clock.

Hey, how about catching
the early movie, Eddie?

Can I do my homeworkafterwards?

Sorry, Alan, I wouldn't be
a good big brother
if I said yes

now, would I?

Tell you what,
I'll go with you

and I'll help you
with your homework.

No offence, Eddie,but last time you helped me,I got a D.

Sorry about that.

How about if I just meet youat your house after you finish?

OK, bye.
Nice to have met you, Jake.

[Jake]
Same here, Alan. Bye.

[Tracy grunting]

Ha! Bye, Tracy.

What do you expect to find down under the ocean, Doctor?

Everything from
oil to plankton.

And maybe
some lost treasure.

[intense music]

That's it! That's howwe can get that decoding box.

What decoding box?

The one I told you
about, bat brain.

It was dropped
from a satellite by mistake.

If I get that box,
I can decode every secret
the government has.

Send Scarechrome in here.

Long John Scarechrome
at your service.

[hisses] I want that Ultrasub,
understand?

Aye, aye, sir.

There's a secret box hidden
at the bottom of the ocean.

Filled with jewels no doubt,
or gold. Ha ha ha.

That's it. Gold!

[hisses] Never mind
what's inside, shrimp brain.

Steal the sub
and bring that box to me.

Go with him, Apparitia.

Oh! But this is
the Groovie Goolies

my favorite cartoon.

[zapping]

Get going, both of you!

And don't come back
without that decoding box.

If the Ghost... bustersfind out about thisand get there first...

you'll be ghost history.

[ringing]

Sorry, the Ghostbusters
are unavailable right now.

[man on phone]
Oh. Please tell them
the President is calling.

[stuttering]

The President, yeah, sure.

And I'm the King
of Transylvania.

ButI am the President.

The President
of the United States.

The-the Pres,
oh, you mean the real Pre...

The real, the real,
the real President?

Exactly.

Oh, yeah.Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yes, sir.

[stuttering]

[Jake]
One of these days,
Ansabone.

Yes, sir, Mr. President.
This is Jake Kong.

[President]Ah, Jake, we need your help.

Last month,a government decoding machine

was lost in the deepest part
of the ocean.

Our intelligence reports say

that Prime Evil
may try to recover it.

Prime Evil?
That's not good.

Ah, no, it isn't.

That's why we'd like
the Ghostbusters
to get there first.

In Dr. Reiser's Ultrasub.

And remember,
this is top secret.

Sir, I understand.We'll do our best.Thank you, sir.

We've got a job to do, Trace.An important job.

For the President.
Ooh, wow!

Yup.

All right!

Eddie's already gone
to Alan's house

and that's next door
to Dr. Reiser's.

We'll meet him there.
Time to get into uniform.

make-believe friend again.

Now, what do you say?

Hey! That's Gagoo's.

Come on. There's no one thereand you know it.

Go home, Alan.
Nobody invited you.

I wouldn't want to
be invited.

[wind whooshing]

Alan, I said you weren't...

That's funny.
The curtain's blowing
but the window's closed.

[wind whooshing]

What's that?

[ghosts bellowing]

Who's there?

Come out. Whatever you are,
I'm not afraid of you.

Not much anyway.

Well, here we are.

Why, you're ghosts!

Oh, you can say that again.

Oh, I think I'll restfor a minute.

No, don't!
You're sittin' on Gagoo.

Oh, on what?

You were sittin' on my friend.

Really?

[pulsating]

That's mine.
No, that's mine.

[indistinct chattering]

[Apparitia]
Now they're my friends.

Keep the young lady busywhile we stealher father's sub.

Ha ha ha.

[ululating]

No, stop that!

Stop!

[intense music]

What's all the racketnext door?

That's Amanda playingwith her make-believe friend.

Boy, what a weirdo!

Alan, there's nothing wrong

with playing with
make-believe friends.

Why, when I-I was a boy I...

[Amanda]
No, don't. You stop it!

But that doesn't
sound like playin'.

[screeching]

Stand back, Alan.

[screams]

[crashes]

[intense music]

A-Amanda! A-Amanda!

[instrumental music]

-Are you OK, Amanda?
-No. They're ghosts.

Ha! You have invisible
ghost friends, too?

[screaming]

Ha ha ha.

[ululating]

Now stand back.
I'll handle this.

[thuds]

Ha ha ha.

[ululating]

Alan, quick! Take Amanda
and call Ghost Command.

[intense music]

Oh, no! They're takingDaddy's Ultrasub.

We have to stop 'em.

No, Amanda. Wait!

[loud bang]

[music continues]

[tires screeching]

Oh, boy, am I glad you're here!

Eddie's inside the house
fightin' with some ghosts.

And Amanda's trying
to stop someone

from stealing
her father's submarine.

Come on, Trace.We've got a job to do.

Okey-dokey.

He he he.

[together]
What?

Please don't send me back.
I wanna help, please!

But...

I'm sorry, Eddie. But I felt
kinda bad about Amanda.

I thought, well,
maybe I could do somethin'.

[Eddie]You shouldn't have come, Alan.

But we haven't time
to take you back

so you gotta promise
to stick with G.B.

Thanks, Eddie.
I promise, I do.

[Tracy]
Okey-dokey.

[instrumental music]

[dramatic music]

[Apparitia]
Well, you finally

Now, put the radar onand let's find that decoder.

Oh, Gagoo, maybe we were wrongto take such a chance.

But we've got to
save Daddy's sub.

Look! The radar's foundthe decoder.

[beeping]

Ha ha ha. I can't believe it.

The decoder's fallen
into the Lucky Lady.

Me great, great, great,great granddad's pirate ship.

Oh, forget your ancestors,
fish breath.

We're getting that decoder
for Prime Evil.

And then we're blowin'
this fish tank.'

[Jake]
There they are.
Let's go, guys.

Switch on
your underwater jetpacks.

[dramatic music]

[Eddie]
Wait right here, Alan.

Next stop, Hauntquarters,you grubby ghosts.

Who are you callin' grubby?

[whistles]

Yo-ho-ho, pirate ghosts,
man the battle stations.

[together]
Aye, aye, captain.

A deep freeze blast from me

Freeze Glock is what
you'll be needin'.

[Jake]
No way, Long John.
Prepare to walk the plank.

[Eddie]
Sorry to be late.

Ha ha! Perfect. Long John canplay with the Ghostbusters

while I find the decoder box.

[Alan]
Hey! That's the Ultrasub.
Where's it goin'?

[dramatic music]

Oh, at last, the decoder box.I found it!

All I have to do is
go out and pick it up.

Oh! We gotta thinkof somethin' fast, Gagoo.Think!

Huh! That's a good idea.

We'll move the sub
while she's gone.

[music continues]

If we can just remember
how Dad used to do this.

Which one, Gagoo?

This one?
Oh, I hope you're right.

But I'm so scared.

OK, I'll try it.

There.

[whirring]

Oops! I'm sorry, Mr. Clam.

[babbling]

Oh, I think he likes us.

But I can't get
the sub to back up.

Oh, Apparitia'll
be back any minute.

If only there was
somewhere to hide.

The clam. Mr. Clam,
please, can you help me?

[screeches]

Where did that sub go?

You thought you'd getold Long John, did ya?

Have a taste
of me Freeze Glock.

[zapping]

Phew! If that thing hits us,we'll be saltwater popsicles.

[Eddie screaming]

Tracy-y-y-y!

We better think
of something. Quick!

No problem.

Yo-ho-ho.Long John doesn't miss twice.

[zapping]

[screaming]

Way to go, Trace.
Now, where's the sub?

[Alan]
The sub with Amanda.
It went that way.

On the other side
of the sunken pirate ship.

OK, let's go after it.

Thanks for keepin' watch, Alan.

I thought youdidn't like Amanda.

Well, she's OK.

It's just her talkin' to that
make-believe friend I dislike.

Say, haven't you ever
looked up at the stars

and pretended
you were an astronaut?

Or-or watched
the the World Series

and dreamed you were playin'?

Yeah, but that's different.

Not really. You were just
using your imagination.

A-and that's all
that Amanda's doin'.

Huh? Never thought
of it that way.

[Apparitia]
Uh-huh! There it is.

Oh.

All right, clam,
open up.

[blowing a raspberry]

Why, you...

Oh, I'll kick you out.

[Eddie]
Hold it, Apparitia.
This is your last clambake.

Oh, really?

[pulsating]

[roars]

[Eddie]I-I think we've got a problem.

[eerie music]

[sputtering]

Well, you bettersolve it quick.Before it gives me the squeeze.

[grunting]

[Jake]
Nice work, Tracy.
It can't squeeze us now.

[roars]

Yeah, maybe not
but it can still bite.

[chomping]

[grunting]

Quick, Jake!The Dematerializer.It's our only chance.

Right.

[dramatic music]

Now!

Jake, now!

That bozo needs another shot.

[thuds]

Oh! Get off me,
you repulsive reptile.

[Eddie]
Look! We can bag two fish
with one Dematerializer.

All right.

[Apparitia]
You'll pay for this.

[Eddie]
Sure. Send us the bill.

Aah! That was close.

Let's pick up the decoder box

and get Amanda
back to her father.

[instrumental music]

Oh, Amanda, I was so worried.

Gagoo and I just wantedto save the sub for you, Daddy.

I know, Amanda, but I
can always replace the sub.

I can't replace you or Gagoo.

Amanda wasvery brave, Dr. Reiser.

She helpedthe Ghostbusters rescue

the decoder boxfrom Apparitia.

Yes.

I think the President's
going to be very happy

to hear that our secret codesare safe from evil hands.

We should let him know.

[grunting]

Okey-dokey.

Tracy here. Yes, sir.

Major okey-dokey.

That was some...

Sounds like the President
is pleased, Trace.

You bet.

[all laughing]

Hey, wanna play tag, Amanda?

OK.

Oh, but if want Gagooto come too, I guess it's OK.

But I thought
you didn't believe in Gagoo.

I believe in usingmy imagination.

Huh?

Come on.
I'll tell you about it.

Amanda's imaginary friendgave her

a lot of companywhen she was alone.

Do you have
an imaginary friend, too?

Almost everybody does,
while their growin' up.

It's a way of learning

to use your imagination
and that's good.

Right. But it's important
to have real friends, too.

Remember that Amanda
was happiest
when she got to play

with her imaginary friend,
and Alan, her real friend.

Want to play
tic-tac-toe, Belfry?

Sure, friend.
Well, why not.
