[CHAIRS CREAKING]

My granddaughter Ashley just bought her first home. Three bedrooms.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Marvelous.

My granddaughter Lily had to get a four-bedroom,

but I like your Ashley.

She's married with kids so she needed the room.

That's lovely. Is that her second or third marriage?

Her second.

My Kenneth just got accepted to law school.

My Patricia is a lawyer.

My Joseph's a lawyer-surgeon.

Look at this picture Miles drew me.

My Benjamin painted me this.

My Harris sculpted me this.

My Tommy's nominated for a Nobel Prize.

My Stephanie is Alfred Nobel.

My Owen is a...

[GROWLING]

Huge beast with razor-sharp teeth and blood-red eyes.

Well, my Carlton is a ferocious lion who... Wait. What?

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

SCOOBY-DOO: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

Air drum solo!

[DRUM PLAYING]

Ha!

Ha!

[GRUNTING]

Sugah.

[RECORD SCRATCHES]

[WHIMPERS]

Hmm?

What's happening?

Shaggy, are you okay?

I've never seen you leave anyone drum-hanging before.

Sorry, guys. Like, I get nervous visiting my Grammy.

Her retirement village is pretty competitive about their grandchildren.

I don't really give Grammy a lot to brag about.

Well, her message said there was trouble, there.

Perhaps your grandmother will be in too much danger

to notice you're a disappointment.

Was any part of that supposed to be comforting?

FRED: Here we are. Shady Sunshine Retirement Village.

Wow, I forgot how hot Florida is.

And humid. My glasses are fogging up.

That's why I'm wearing shorts!

[SCREAMING] Upsetting shorts!

Ahhh!

Ugh! [GAGS]

[GLASS SQUEAKING]

[SCREAMS]

-[GRUNTING] -[GLASS BREAKING]

Not cool, Jones!

GRAMMY: Shaggy!

Grammy!

Grammy.

[GRUNTS] Oh!

Goodness, Scooby, you've grown more since I saw you.

-Are you part horse? -Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

[IMITATES HORSE NEIGHING]

[GIGGLES]

Like, look, everyone.

My mystery-solving grandson is here to save the day.

So this is the leader of the world famous mystery-solving team.

BOTH: Leader?

-Uh, yeah. -[CHUCKLES]

Shaggy's our leader. [CHUCKLES]

See, what'd I tell you? My Shaggy's a hero.

How wonderful.

Imagine traveling around the world helping people.

It's a shame, though.

It'll be who knows how long before he can find

a nice girl and settle down.

True. What more can a grandmother hope for

than her grandchild having a happy home and family.

Actually, I'm Shaggy's girlfriend.

You are?

ALL: You are?

Yes. I'm Daphne and it's so great to finally meet you, Grammy.

Shaggy won't stop talking about his favorite grandmother.

[CHUCKLES] It's a pleasure, my dear.

Shaggy always was catnip to the ladies.

More like kitty litter.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY] Anyway, so, like, yeah.

Apparently I'm the leader of the gang and Daphne's my girlfriend.

Who knew?

So, Grammy, what's going on?

You said there was trouble here.

We're being attacked by an Ape Man.

Ape Man?

I mean... [CLEARS THROAT] An Ape Man, huh?

Fascinating.

I meant, Ape Man?

Come, I'll show you where that awful Ape Man attacked us.

Uh, hello?

Guys?

It happened right in here.

Hmm. Let's take a look around.

[WHIMPERS]

Ugh! Come on, dude.

[SNIFFING]

[GROANS]

Hey, what's this?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

No!

Un-see it, un-see it.

This is glue.

Might be a clue.

BOTH: Ahem.

Or, uh... What do you think, Shaggy?

Um, yeah. I think glue clue.

Great. Let's split up...

Uh... [CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY]

Right.

What should we do now, Shaggy, our wise leader?

Um, uh...

Split up?

Ooh!

Oh. Like, isn't he so impressive?

[SIGHS]

-[GRUNTING] -[THUNDER RUMBLING]

Uh... Oh.

Oh, Fred, there you are.

I just had a very interesting conversation with the groundskeeper

about the origins of this Ape Man.

It turns out

the land this retirement home was built on

used to be a zoo that was shut down

when a bunch of primates escaped

and caused havoc throughout the city.

[PRIMATES SCREECHING]

They were all eventually captured, except one.

An alpha male ape they called Crusher

because of his enormous strength and size.

[GROWLING]

It's possible that he has survived,

hiding on the land all these years.

He could be running out of natural resources,

which would explain why he's showing up at the retirement village.

And also mean he's very dangerous.

[GROWLING]

Yeah, you mull that over.

I gotta go find a pair of glasses.

I feel too vulnerable like this.

Huh?

Daph, like, you didn't have to pretend to be my girlfriend.

Look how happy your sweet, adorable grandmother was,

gloating victoriously over her vanquished foes.

Yeah, but, like, now I've gotta keep up with all these charades

and actually try to stop a crazed monkey from eating Grammy.

Monkeys don't eat grandmothers. Don't be ridiculous.

[VELMA GROANING]

[SCREAMING]

Ahhh!

Ugh! What was that?

Did a camel spit at me?

Oh, Velma, I'm so sorry.

I thought you were the Ape Man.

Really? I look that different without my glasses?

Wait, there's gotta be an extra pair of glasses around here somewhere.

Did someone say "cat"?

Um, no.

We were looking for some spare glasses for my friend here.

Quick, come in!

[DOOR SLAMS]

[GASPING]

[PURRING]

[WHIMPERING]

What's happening? [GRUNTS]

This way.

[SOFTLY] No sudden movements.

[GROANING]

Good thing Scoob isn't here.

-[SWITCH CLICKS] -Lights are out.

You know what that means?

Light 'em up.

Upsetting shorts.

What happened, Scoob?

Thankfully, nothing.

Come on, this way.

Ugh! Could I lead?

-Hey, come on. -Ugh.

Shaggy's Grammy isn't here, so I can actually lead for a while.

-I am the leader, after all. -[GROANS]

May I please enjoy being in my natural state?

Thank you.

Your natural state is gross.

[GASPING]

[SIGHS] That's better.

[GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

[RATTLING]

VELMA: Thanks for the glasses and dry clothes.

I rarely find someone even close to my same prescription.

No problem.

-Maybe one day you can do me a favor. -Of course.

-And that day is today! -Help.

They say I can't have anymore cats because it's a health hazard.

My neighbor claims she's allergic

and allergies came to be my neighbors.

If you know this to be true, say nothing and blink once.

[VELMA WHIMPERING]

Thank you for your honesty.

-Be safe! -[DOOR SLAMS]

She looked into my soul.

Of all the horrors we've encountered,

that may have been the scariest thing I've ever seen.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

Oh, right. That's the scariest thing I have ever seen.

[GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

-[ALL SCREAMING] -Run!

-[BONES CREAKING] -My back!

-Get off, get off, get off! -Oh, sorry.

-[VELMA GROANING] -[ALL APOLOGIZING]

DAPHNE: Oopsie. [GIGGLES]

How many times do I have to tell you to warn me?

[APE MAN GROWLING]

Whoa!

Split up!

[GROWLING]

It's Shaggy's turn.

FRED: Quick.

[GROWLING]

Hold it there, cowboy. ID?

[GROWLING]

We're cool. You next.

Fred and Velma, everyone.

Next up, Ape Man.

Hmm?

[GRUNTING]

[GROWLING]

[WATER LAPPING]

Like, I think we lost them.

GRAMMY: Oh, zoinks.

-[GASPING] -Oh, look at the cute couple.

Grammy!

Sneaking away for some canoodling?

No! Like, no canoodling here!

Oh, come on, Shaggy.

They caught us red-handed. Guilty!

No! Not guilty. No red hands.

No canoodling.

Stop that.

Oh, it's okay, you two.

I was young and in love once.

Look, I'm making baby booties.

Oh, how adorable.

One pink and one blue.

Let the baby wing it. Good thinking.

So, have you caught that terrible Ape Man yet?

Like, not quite yet.

I told you so.

But we're getting close.

Rushing a mystery is like taking muffins out of the oven too soon.

Sure, you eat muffins sooner, but their middles are mushy.

-Of course. -Oh, makes perfect sense.

Now, if you ladies will excuse us,

we have a mystery to solve.

[SIGHS] Isn't he just so canoodle-able?

[THUNDER CRASHING]

The Governor has issued another severe weather warning for the area.

SHAGGY: Like, what's going on?

It was just sunny and hot.

And now it's pouring rain and hot.

What do you want? It's Florida.

Ah, this place is so my speed.

Well, I'm just glad I went with shorts.

Yes, Fred.

We'd all be glad if you went

with your shorts, literally, anyplace else.

[THUNDER CRACKS]

So did you guys find anything more on this Ape Man?

No, and the attacks seem totally random.

All we have to go on is some glue stuck to the floor.

I was watching that.

-Is this still plugged in? -[SCREAMING]

-Upsetting shorts! -Upsetting... [GAGS]

Ah! Sorry, glasses.

ALL: Whew. VELMA: You're safe, glasses.

Huh?

Hmm.

Hang on, Scooby!

Oh! [GRUNTING]

Is there any other choice?

[STRAINING]

-[GRUNTS] -We need to find a rope.

It's too windy for anyone to go out there.

Not for me. These shorts make me aerodynamic.

I'll slice right through this. Whoa.

-Ahhh! -Argh.

Whoa!

I drastically overestimated the shorts.

Ya think?

If we tie this bed sheet to the wheelchair,

we can lower it out for them to grab on to.

Good idea, Shaggy.

I have such a smart boyfriend.

Knock it off, Blake!

Oh, no!

You were saying about your "boyfriend"?

Look out, Scoob!

[APE MAN GROWLING]

Ahhh!

Pull!

[ALL STRAINING]

[BOTH SCREAMING]

[GRUNTING]

ALL: Whoa!

[ALL GRUNTING]

And you're all on my back again.

Fred, what were you thinking back there?

Okay. So maybe I imbued the shorts

with magical powers they might not so much have.

Those shorts almost killed you.

Yeah, and they do have magical powers.

To make me wanna barf.

They're practical.

Yeah, practically non-existent.

Guys, stop.

Like, we need to focus our energies

on solving this Ape Man mystery.

I appreciate you having my back

and saying I'm the leader of the gang,

but now it's on me.

If we don't solve this thing, it'll be my fault,

and I'll turn my Grammy into a laughing stock around here.

And no one messes with my Grammy.

Sorry, Shaggy.

Yeah, me too.

I've been a lousy, totally fake girlfriend.

I guess we haven't been as focused as we usually are.

My apologies as well, Shaggy.

I may have let this place get to me a bit.

Ah, Florida.

I know one thing that would help, though.

And I think we can all agree on this.

ALL: Put on some pants!

I chose them because they're my favorites.

And they happen to be my only shorts.

Favorites. Huh, guys?

I think I may have actually figured something out.

Who said that?

Fred's extremely upsetting shorts are his favorites.

Oh, yeah. He chose his favorites.

That's it, Shaggy. You did it.

Who said that?

It's time to cage us an ape.

And I have the perfect bait.

[ELECTRICITY BUZZING]

[SCOOBY-DOO GRUNTING]

SCOOBY-DOO: [STRAINING] One,

[GROWLING]

[SCOOBY-DOO CONTINUES GRUNTING]

-Huh? -Ha!

Ahhh!

Now!

[APE MAN YELLING]

[CRASHING]

[GROANS]

[SNIFFS] Huh?

[PURRING]

Huh?

[MEOWING]

[CATS GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

[CATS SCREECHING]

-[MEOWING] -[APE MAN GROANS]

-Got him. -Nice work, gang.

Shaggy is the leader of this mystery.

I think you should do the honors.

Me? I get to do the, "Let's see who blah-blah really is"?

Go for it, Shaggy.

[GIGGLING] Like, how our Ape Man really is.

ALL: Grammy Rogers?

Exactly. My own grandmother.

What are you doing dressed up as an ape?

Her grandson is the mystery solver here. Let him tell us.

Yeah, Shaggy. Tell 'em.

Well, uh, um...

See, I told you he wasn't a real mystery solver.

-You got this, Shaggy. -Come on, Shaggy.

You can do it.

Well, the first clue

was the glue in the tea room that Fred found.

It was just cheap fabric glue

from an Ape Man Halloween costume

that had been melting in the Florida heat.

The second clue was when we realized

that the Ape Man was playing favorites.

Whenever given a choice, it wouldn't attack me,

it would always choose to chase another person instead.

[CHUCKLES] And finally, the why part was easy.

My Grammy just wanted to show me off

in front of her highly competitive friends.

That's why the attacks were totally random,

and why nothing illegal was actually done.

You did it. I'm so proud, Shaggy.

My meddling grandson just completely thwarted his Grammy. [CHUCKLES]

Didn't he?

He was pretty impressive.

He's way better than my grandson.

Yeah, my Joseph's not really a lawyer-surgeon.

He draws cartoons.

-Oh. -How old is he?

That's not a real job. Don't be silly.

But that's okay because he's your grandson.

And that's what makes him special.

Then, while we're clearing the air, Grammy,

I'm not really the leader of this gang.

We're a team.

And Daphne isn't my girlfriend.

She's a really good friend.

Well, now that the mystery's been solved,

let's hit the beach!

[ALL SCREAMING]

My eyes!
