(LAUGHING)

MAN: (ON RADIO)Today marks another record-high temperature for New Orleans

as our heatwave enters its third sweltering week. Meteorologists are predicting

-things will only get worse in the weeks to follow. -(MOANING)

-(GROANS) -So be sure to stay hydrated...

(PANTING)

Come to pa, Popsicle.

(SLURPS) Ow!

This heat is unbearable.

If Mina's dad doesn't fix the AC soon, we're all gonna melt.

(EXPLOSION)

Huh, the air conditioner just made boomy noise.

(WHINING)

We're doomed.

Hey, I think the freezer's broken.

It's not broken. You just let all the cold out.

Well, good. Now it's all out here with us then.

Not how it works, Harold.

(GROANS)

(MOANING)

(PANTING HEAVILY)

Oh, there has to be some place we can go to cool off.

Well. Science

tells us that heat rises,

so that means it'll be cooler the lower we go.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Yeah. We can't get lower than the basement.

No, guys, please don't. Please, anywhere but there. Can we just...

Guys?

Well, it is less sun hot down here.

I'd say it's more of a musty cave hot.

Okay, yeah. Just cave hot.

Yeah, this is good, we'll be fine.

Just as long as none of you guys touch any...

-Oh, come on! -(CRASH)

(BOTH GIGGLE)

Wait, is that a door?

Oh, yeah, it's a door.

Oh, yeah. Feels super cold.

-Let's open it. -No!

Look. I know we're sweating our brains out,

but let's really think about this.

There's probably a very good reason

why that was hidden behind a bunch of stuff.

I really don't think we should open it.

It could be some kind of a meat locker for monsters

or the tomb of a yeti

Or a wendigo

or a trapped spirit of an angry snowman

or the home of a zombie polar bear.

Ah! Yay!

Frosty cold.

Why would there be just a giant block of ice?

I am not touching that thing.

Come on, Chester, you know you want to.

(SIGHS)

Oh.

Yeah, come on, Chester.

HAROLD: Come on, Chester.

Okay, fine. Move over.

(ALL SIGH IN RELIEF)

(MUFFLED)

Guys? Help?

Ah! Iced milkshake.

(SLURPING)

MINA: Bunn, Chester, Harold. Got a surprise for you guys.

Phew! Okay.

This should hold us over until Dad finishes fixing the AC.

Oh, hey, boys, how does that feel?

MINA'S DAD: Hey, Mina. Can you bring me some duct tape

and a stick of gum?

Um, sure, Dad. Be right back.

(ALL SIGHING)

(SIGHS) Not bad, Mina. Not bad.

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

(MUFFLED) This feels so good.

Ooh!

I sound like a robot.

You know, guys, we should just relax. I'll play us some tunes.

You can never go wrong with Coltrane.

Uh, when did we get two record players?

Well, great. Now, we'll have one in the study too.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

Friends, where can I find parts for

a tachyon Freon emulsifier?

Uh, have you checked the junk drawer in the kitchen?

Junk drawer. In the kitchen.

(MUTTERS)

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

Hey, where did the other record player go?

Um, maybe you took it when you were looking

for parts for the taco-free pacifier.

Harold, have you hit your head? 'Cause that makes no sense.

But you just asked for the parts for something

that sounded kind of science-ey

and then you went in to the kitchen.

Are you crazy, Harold? You just saw me go into the study.

Yeah, but you saw him go in to the kitchen, right, Bunn?

(UTENSILS CLANKING)

(GASPS)

See, Chester, there you are.

That is not me. I am right here.

That has to be some kind of a... Some kind of a...

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Bunnicula says it was a shape-shifter.

(STUTTERING) A shape-shifter?

So, it can turn in to anyone

or anything? Where did it go?

It couldn't have just disappeared.

And what's it doing taking apart all that electrical stuff?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

He says it might be building something.

-(DISTANT GROWLING) -Building something? That doesn't sound good.

We better check on Mina.

Oh, she's right here. Hey, Mi--

Shh. Wait, wait. Something's not right.

How do we know if that's the real Mina?

It looks like Mina to me.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

She looks weird. My monster radar is going off like crazy.

But I have a plan. Follow me.

Closer. (SLOWLY) Closer.

Bunnicula, get that thing.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Uh, guys?

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

What are you guys doing just standing behind me?

-ALL: Huh? -(SCOFFS)

I guess this heat is making us all a little crazy.

I better go upstairs and see how Dad's coming along with that air conditioner.

Wait a minute. Harold?

Didn't I just see you upstairs playing with the broken radio?

(NERVOUSLY) Huh. That's weird.

I guess this heat makes you see crazy things.

(HEAVING)

What?

Do you rember being upstairs with a bunch of electronic parts, Harold?

Uh, well, no. I was just with you guys in the kitchen.

Exactly. So whatever Mina saw wasn't you, it was this thingy.

And it's clearly taking those parts for something.

And if we don't find out what, we won't know what kind

of horrifying evil it will unleash.

Maybe it's an alien trying to contact

its brethren to come invade,

or maybe it's building some sort of a world-ending device

and... Why are we just standing around talking about it?

Gosh. Is it suddenly really hot again

or is it just... (GASPS)

What have you done?

Oh, this really handsome dog said

he needed the fan parts for his machine.

And did this "handsome dog" look anything like you?

Uh, you know what? He did.

-That was the thingy! -(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Yeah, he was headed upstairs.

We could probably catch him if we hurry.

(GASPING) Oh, I...

I don't know.

Do you guys think we should have some sort of a plan, I mean...

I'm starting to think that...

(SIGHING) They really gotta stop doing that.

(ALL GASP)

No. It got Mina's little unicorn pony alarm clock.

Not the little unicorn pony alarm clock!

(SOBBING) This thingy is truly a monster.

(CONTINUES SOBBING)

Get a hold of yourself, man.

It looks like it got in to all of our other electrical equipment as well.

Being that it's a shape-shifter

means it could be anything in this room.

It could be looking at us right now.

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(SCREAMS)

You won't get me.

(SCREAMS)

(BARKING)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Chester, what are you...

What are you guys doing?

(DOOR SHUTS)

I think the heat is making you boys completely lose it.

Man, I hope this AC gets fixed soon.

Well, it should be, Mina.

'Cause I just left you upstairs to work on it.

You seem to really know what you're doing.

What? I wasn't in the attic.

Has the heat made everybody go crazy?

Oh, no. It's just as we feared.

It's converted the air conditioner into some kind of weapon.

We gotta destroy it before it destroys us.

Uh, wait a minute.

Looks like Mina's dad is still working on it.

(ALL GASPING)

That's the thingy all right.

(GROANS)

Uh, how do we know which one's the real Chester?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

(SCREAMING)

Where'd it go?

(GROWLS)

-What are you doing? -I got it. I got the thingy.

Get off. I am Chester. I am the real Chester.

Well, how do we know that?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Well, how do I know one of you isn't the thingy?

(ALL MURMURING)

Huh?

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Don't let it go. Don't let it get to the machine.

You'll never get away with it, me!

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Bunnicula.

(SHRIEKS)

(GROANS)

(BEEPING)

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

CHESTER: Oh, no.

-This is really it. -HAROLD: I love you guys so much.

Before we go, I just wanna say...

Harold, sometimes I eat your doggy treats.

-(EXPLOSION) -Huh?

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

Nice and cool.

Oh, this feels so much better.

Uh, it sure does.

Wait, did you take all those parts just to fix the AC?

Oh, yes, and I do apologize

if I scared you earlier. (CHUCKLES)

The heat makes me mic

anything and anyone around me.

Aunt Marie installed that freezer

to keep me from reverting to my unmannered state.

-(GIGGLES) -Oops.

Guess we shouldn't have opened it.

No. Pish posh. It happens.

Now if you three will excuse me,

I am going to freeze myself once again.

Tally ho.

Wow. I guess she just wanted to be back in the ice.

Yeah, you know, turns out she was pretty

chill all along. (CHUCKLES)

You see what I did? You see?

-Chill. -Yeah, Harold,

-we get it. -HAROLD: Yeah, 'cause it's cold...

It's a summer miracle.

(SIGHING)

The thingy is back in her box and the AC is fixed.

So to speak. I guess I was wrong... Argh!

Hey.

(BOTH GIGGLING)

You guys are gonna regret that.

(BUNNICULA AND HAROLD GIGGLING MERRILY)
