[laughing]

[eerie music]

[Eddie panting]

[Eddie] Twelve floorswe've been chasing that ghost.Where is he anyway?'

[panting]



Whoa, boy, am I outta shape.

[giggling]

[blowing a raspberry]

[Eddie] H-h-help! Help!

Oh!

[Jake]
Eddie, use the Dematerializer.

Right! The Dematerializer.

Be careful.

Hey, you, hold still.

[screaming]

Oh, no. Eddie!

Uh-huh!

[screaming]

[zap]

Oh! Good work, Trace.

Thanks, guys. I owe you one.

[giggling]

You're history, ghost.

[zap]

[chiming]

Aah!

Come on, guys. I'll buy
everybody a cold soda.

All right.

No thanks, Jake.
I'm gonna go talk to Madam Why.

Maybe she can help me
with my paintings.

That's a good idea, Eddie.

You need all the help
you can get.

Yeah.
Boy, you can say that again.

[eerie music]

[thunder rumbling]

[howling]

Brat-A-Rat, Fib-Face,
get down there.

Spy on those ghost bunglers.

Bring back something
I can use against them.

[cackles]

As you command,
o-mighty, mean one.

You got it, boss.

[intense music]

[zap]

[eerie music]

[laughing]

It looks like a good night
to do a little hunting.

[Fib-Face]
Ooh. Look at this one.
It's awful isn't it?

Oh, that's nice.

Somebody sounds
really miserable.

Yeah. Let's go check it out.

To tell the truth, Eddie,
your paintings
aren't very good.

Not very good?
They're terrible.

But you've only been
painting for a week.

You can't expect to become
a good painter overnight.

I'll never be
a good painter, Madam.

-U-u-unless...
-Unless what, Eddie?

Unless you use
your crystal ball

to conjure up
some magic paints for me.

Eddie.

Well, that way my paintings
would be terrific

instead of...instead of yucky.

Shortcuts like magic paint
won't make you happy, Eddie.

Practice, practice,
and more practice.

That's what it takes to be good
at something like painting.

And that's also what
will make you truly happy
with your work.

Oh!

Oh, boy this is gonna be great.

Great?

What's so great about Eddie
wanting magic paints?

You'd never understand it,
Fib-Face.

But Prime Evil's gonna love it.
Wait and see. He he he.

[cackles]

What? You interrupt
my bonerola practice

to tell me Eddie can't paint?
Big deal!

Everybody knows Eddie Spenser
can't do anything.

Ha ha ha.

Hu hu hu. Boy,
that little rat's finally gonna

get what he deserves.

B-but, but, but, boss...

But me no buts,
you worthless spy.

B-but, b-b-but, but, boss,
Eddie wants magic paints.

We can give him
the enchanted paints
of Patronia.

What a rotten idea.

Why I...

I-I, why I have a great idea!

We'll use the enchanted paints
of Patronia

to get rid of those ghost
bunglers once and for all.

Ha ha.

[zap]

What did I do?

[snarls]

Sorry, Scared Stiff.
Once I'm in the mood...

...I hate to waste a good zap.

Oh, I-I-I understand,
almighty malevolent master.

I think.

[instrumental music]

[Jake] Come on, Eddie,
go to the movies with us.

[Eddie] I-I-I've seen
that movie already.

Are you still unhappy
because Madam Why

wouldn't conjure up
some magic paints for ya?

Well...yeah.

Eddie, Madam's right.
Shortcuts like magic
won't help.

If you really wanna be good,
you have to practice.

Practice and practice
some more.

Yeah. That's what Madam said.

You guys go on to the movie.

I'm gonna stay here
and practice,
practice, practice.

[G.B.]
W-w-we gotta hurry, you bozo's.

We're gonna miss
the beginning of the show.

[giggling]

If it's magic
you want, Eddie Spenser,

then it's magic you'll get.

[Ansabone ringing]

Hey, Shock Clock,
what do you think?

I think there's somebody
at the door.

Bonebrain.

Hey, Leonardo D' A...

Hey, go answer the door.

Oh, all right.

Huh! What's this?

"To Eddie."

Hey, hey, it's for me.

"Here are your
magic paints, Mad."

[upbeat music]

Hot dog! Good old Madam Why.

She made some magic paint
for me after all.

[Prime Evil] Perfect! Perfect!

The fool's taken the bait.

At last I'll put
those ghost bunglers

where they'll never ever
interfere with my schemes
again!

[upbeat music]

[slurp]

[sighs]

Jake, you're still worried
about Eddie, aren't you?

I'm sorry, Jess.
I just can't enjoy the movie.

Whenever I think of Eddie
sitting at home so sad

and unhappy...

I know what you mean, Jake.
I feel the same way.

What about you, Trace?
How do you feel?

Sad.

OK, guys, that's it.

Let's go home
and try to cheer up Eddie.

We'll all feel a lot better.

-All right.
-[Tracy] Yeah!

What? You mean to tell me
I'm gonna m-miss Love Bug?

Rats!

Eddie? I haven't seen Eddie
for an hour or so.

Not since Madam's
magic paints arrived.

[both] Madam's magic paints?

[chiming]

[dramatic music]

[Jessica]
Eddie, that painting...

...it's so beautiful.

-It's so real.
-Yeah.

Yeah. Thanks to Madam Why's
magic paints.

I'm a great painter now.

[intense music]

[chiming]

Whoa! Too real. Too real.

[music continues]

I'm better than great.
I-I'm a fantastic painter.

[music continues]

Tracy, wait!

I think we better
stay out of there

until we talk
to Madam Why first.

But, Jake, look!
There's Madam Why now.

[Eddie]
Let's go see what she wants.

[music continues]

This is ridiculous.
That's a painting.

But that's Madam in there.
Maybe she can explain
what's goin' on.

[Jake] All right, all right.

We'll go see what she wants.

Forget what she wants,
ghost bunglers!

It's what I want that counts!
Ha ha ha!

And I want to get rid of you!

[music continues]

[Eddie] That's not Madam.

It's some kind of mirage.

And this painting
is some kind of trap.

Look!

[music continues]

Yeow! The path! My room!
They're gone!

What kind of magic paints
did Madam Why give me anyway?

Eddie, I've got a bad feeling
those paints
didn't come from Madam.

[splat]

Ha ha ha!

Run for that castle!
It's our only chance!

[dramatic music]

[Eddie]
We'll never make it, Jake.

[music continues]

[screech]

[bat screeching]

[Jake] Run for that castle!
It's our only chance!

Ha ha ha!

At last I've got
the ghost bunglers

right where I want them!

[screeching]

[upbeat music]

Tracy, you're pack.
Use your pack.

Tracy, if you're gonna
do something,
you better do it quick!

Aha!

[upbeat music]

A tennis cap? You're gonna
stop now and play tennis?

Watch.

Ha ha ha!

[music continues]

[boom]

-All right! Good work, Trace.
-Way to go!

Ah! Laugh while
you can ghost bozos

because I guarantee
the last laugh will be mine!

[Prime Evil hissing]

[Ansabone] And that's why
me and Shock Clock thought
we better call you.

Everbody's been disappearin'
ever since
your magic paints came.

Wait a minute.
What magic paints?

The one's you sent, dingaling.

In the package.

Ansabone, is this
one of your silly jokes?

Because I didn't send Eddie
any package of magic paints.

Well, if you didn't, who did?

I don't know.

But I think
I better go find out.

[dramatic music]

[Jake] Come on, guys, we better
check out this castle.

[Jessica]
Ooh! Looks pretty creepy.

[music continues]

[knocking]

[chattering]

Too creepy.
What do you think, Trace?

Transformation time?

Okie dokie.

[upbeat music]

Boy, what a mess we're in
and it's all my fault!

I wish I'd never wished
for those magic paints.

[intense music]

[screaming]

-Boo.
-Wha-ho-ho!

Monster! I saw a monster!

Ooh! I can't see. I can't see.

-Eddie, no!
-Tracy, no!

[both] Uh-oh!

[splash]

[both screaming]

[splash]

[all] Rubber duckies?

Eddie, you were supposed to
find life jackets
not rubber duckies.

What happened?

These were on sale.

A-and besides I kinda like 'em.

You like them?

Yeah, Eddie.
I kinda like these too.

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chattering]

[dramatic music]

Uh-oh!
I don't like the looks of this.

Not at all.

Magic ball, magic ball,

tell me all, tell me all.

Come on, guys, we can find out

where this flows
in to the castle moat.

Maybe we can get out of here.

[instrumental music]

The moat?
Don't alligators live in moats?

Eddie, be realistic. Alligators don't live in moats,

they live in swamps.

Hmm! No alligators?

Ha ha ha!
Well, how about a ghostgator?

[piano music]

[splat]

[bubbling]

There it is. The way out.

[Jake] Let's go!

[peppy music]

[music continues]

[growls]

Uh, I don't like
the sound of that.

[dramatic music]

[jaw creaking]

[screaming]

Help!

[screaming]

Stop. Help!

[music continues]

[pop]

[screaming]

[music continues]

[screaming]

-Eddie, what's wrong?
-Oh, no.

Get outta the way!
Get outta the way!

[splash]

[all screaming]

[thud]

[all groaning]

Hey, where are we?

I'm, whoa, where is everything?

[dramatic music]

[Prime Evil] "Where are we?
Where is everything?"

[Brat-A-Rat laughing]

What do you think, Bratty?
Should I tell them?

Yeah, boss. Yeah.
Do it. Yeah. He he.

Tell 'em. Tell 'em. He he.

[music continues]

I don't like the looks of this.

The looks of what, Eddie?
I can't see a thing.

Oh, no. I see somethin'. Look.

[Prime Evil]
Welcome to limbo land,
ghost bozos.

Prime Evil.

So, you're the one who sent
Eddie those magic paints.

[Prime Evil]Ha ha ha. Right you are, Jake.

And you'll never escape
from here. Never.

[Madam Why] Wrong again,
Prime bean brain.

[dramatic music]

[Jessica] Madam Why!

I'll lead you out of here.

Not if I can help it.

[snarls]

[music continues]

[tinkling]

[music continues]

Hold on tight.

You'll never escape,
ghost bobos.

Never!

[dramatic music]

Don't let go.

[music continues]

[thunder rumbling]

[Madam Why] The rope!

[all screaming]

[Tracy groaning]

[Prime Evil] Ha ha ha.

No way.

[buzz]

[groaning]

[groaning]

[music continues]

I'm getting out of here.

[music continues]

[tinkling]

[groaning]

They're overloading it.
It'll blow.

[music continues]

Pull, Tracy. Pull

[Tracy groaning]

[buzz]

No. No. No.

[explodes]

[music continues]

Oh. Just look at my room.

It's ruined.

The enchanted taints
of the dronium...

Who's rotten idea
was that anyway?

Uh, yours.

[whizz]

[zap]

My idea?

[hisses]

It was your idea.

I've had it...

...with you...

...and your rotten...

...ideas.

Oh, no.

Ouch. Oh.

[groaning]

[Eddie humming]

Eddie, I see
you're still painting.

[Eddie]
Yeah, that's right, Jake.

And from on, I'm gonna
follow Madam's advice.

No shortcuts.

Just practice, practice
and more practice.

Wow, Eddie. That's great.

Hi, folks, in today's show

we saw how Eddie wanted
to learn how to paint.

But Eddie found out
there are no shortcuts.

If you really want to be
a painter
or anything else in life

you've to practice,
you've to practice doing it.

So when you find
something you really wanna do

then do yourself a favor.

Practice, practice,
then practice some more.

Spend enough time learning
the necessary skills

and I promise you,
you'll be surprised

at how good you can
really be. Uh, bye now.
