[NARRATOR] PACWORLD WAS A PEACEFUL PLANET

UNTIL THE GHOST WARS OF THE LAST CENTURY,

WHEN COMMANDER BETRAYUS

LED A REVOLT AGAINST OUR NATION.

IT WAS WITH HIS GHOSTLY FORCES FROM THE NETHER REALM

THAT BETRAYUS DEALT A DEVASTATING BLOW

TO THE SECURITY OF PACWORLD.

MR. SKEEBO?

TRY TO FOCUS A LITTLE MORE ON THE GHOST WARS

AND A LITTLE LESS ON YOUR LOVE LIFE.

[STUDENTS LAUGH]

C'MON, MS. GLOBULAR.

NO ONE BELIEVES IN GHOSTS ANYMORE.

IS THAT RIGHT?

SHOW OF HANDS...

HOW MANY OF YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?

[GLOBULAR] NO ONE?

AH. ONE STUDENT BELIEVES.

[STUDENTS] PACKY.

HMPH. YEAH, BUT HE'S NOT A STUDENT.

HE'S AN OVERGROWN LEMON.

[STUDENTS LAUGH]

[GLOBULAR] ALL RIGHT, SETTLE DOWN.

PAC, ON WHAT DO YOU BASE YOUR BELIEFS?

I'VE READ UP ON GHOSTS.

THE ONES FROM THE NETHER REALM?

THEY'RE DANGEROUS.

AND THEY HATE US.

THEY'LL CREEP UP ON YOU AND TAKE YOU BY SURPRISE.

BOOGA BOOGA.

[PAC SCREAMS]

YOU MEAN, LIKE THAT?

[STUDENTS LAUGH]

[GLOBULAR] QUIZ TOMORROW.

FLUNK NOW AND AVOID THE JUNE RUSH.

NO. HE'S HEADING FOR THE LUNCHROOM.

STOP HIM.

[OPENING THEME]

THE PAC IS BACK

GHOSTS CHOMPING AT HIS FEET

PAC'S OUR HERO

PAC JUST CAN'T BE BEAT, YEAH

READY TO GO, PAC IS FREE

KILLS MONSTERS, GHOULS, AND ONL ONE CAN STOP THEM

PAC-MAN RULES

THE PAC IS BACK

GHOSTS CHOMPING AT HIS FEET

PAC'S OUR HERO

THE PAC JUST CAN'T BE BEAT

[ARCADE MUSIC]

THE PAC IS BACK

AAH!

OH, YOU JELLY-BELLIED TRASH CAN.

YOU WIPED OUT THE ENTIRE CAFETERIA.

I AM SO GONNA WAIL ON YOU...

PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE, SKEEBS.

THIS ISN'T YOUR FIGHT, SPIRAL.

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY ROOMIE,

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME.

NOW BACK OFF.

ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

BUT HE ATE ALL THE FOOD.

NOT ALL OF IT.

POWER PALM BERRIES.

THEY'RE GOOD. TRY 'EM.

AW, I SUPPOSE.

SEE? ALL BETTER NOW.

AAH! [COUGHS]

THESE ARE AWFUL.

ARE YOU TRYING TO POISON ME?

[BURPS]

OOF.

[PAC] AW, COOL.

[WHISTLES]

[BOTH LAUGH]

GOTTA RUN.

NEXT TIME I'M BRINGING A GPS.

AND A MIDNIGHT SNACK.

ONCE THAT LEMON LAYS EYES ON US,

HE'LL BE MAKING LEMONADE.

[LAUGHS]

CUT IT OUT, SKEEBY.

WHY SCARE HIM?

HEY, HE'S THE ONE WHO BELIEVES IN GHOSTS.

WE JUST WANNA SEE HOW MUCH.

[LAUGHS]

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

TO WARN PACSTER.

[SIGNS BUZZ]

"DEAD END," HUH?

SURE. THAT'S JUST WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO THINK.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE WAY OUT.

OH.

[PAC SCREAMS]

[PAC GASPS]

[GHOSTS WAIL]

[PAC] HELP.

PACSTER!

G-G-GHOSTS.

SAW 'EM. BIG.

LLOTS. GHOSTS.

BOO. GOTTA GO.

PACSTER, CALM DOWN. WHAT HAPPENED?

I WENT INTO THAT SECTION MARKED "DEAD END?"

[SPIRAL AND CYLI] YEAH?

THEY'RE NOT KIDDING.

GHOSTS. DEAD GHOSTS.

OOH...

THAT'S WHAT WE CAME TO TELL YOU.

IT'S A GAG. THE GHOSTS AREN'T REAL.

IT'S JUST SKEEBO AND HIS BUDDIES IN DISGUISE.

[SKEEBO AND PALS] BOO!

[PAC SCREAMS]

HAH. GOTCHA, LEMONADE.

KNOCK IT OFF, SKEEBO.

IT'S OVER.

YOU MEAN, IT WAS ALL JUST A PRANK?

YUP, JUST A BAD, STUPID JOKE.

SO...

ALL THE GHOSTS ARE...

FAKE?

THAT'S RIGHT, BUTTERBALL.

EVERYONE KNOWS THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS...

EXCEPT YOU.

THEN MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD TELL THEM

THAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS...

[ALL SCREAM]

[PAC] GHOSTS!

LET'S GRAB THAT LITTLE CHUBBY GUY.

HE WON'T BE MUCH TROUBLE.

[PACVISION REPORTER] WE'RE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM MAZE PREP SCHOOL

WHERE A PARANORMAL ATTACK

OF UNPRECEDENTED PROPORTIONS IS UNDERWAY.

MR. PRESIDENT, WE NEED TO GET YOU TO A SECURE LOCATION.

LIKE MOST PACWORLDERS, I DON'T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS.

BUT I'M WILLING TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

[SCREAMS]

WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

I GOTTA DO SOMETHING.

BUT WHAT?

SURRENDERING WOULD BE NICE.

[SCREAMS]

HEY.

THIS ONE'S BEEN READING UP ON GHOSTS.

GOOD.

SO HE KNOWS WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN TO HIM.

[SCREAMS]

[ALL] A YELLOW ONE.

[PAC BURPS]

[ROARS]

[SCREAMS]

SKEEBO. HELP.

[SKEEBO CONTINUES SCREAMING]

MY HERO.

SKEEBO, IT'S GOT CYLINDRIA.

YOU GOTTA SAVE HER.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?

BUT SHE'S YOUR STEADY GIRLFRIEND.

WE JUST BROKE UP.

[SKEEBO SCREAMS]

[CYLINDRIA SCREAMS] [PAC]

PLEASE.

IN THE NAME OF PACMANITY.

LEAVE HER ALONE.

WE DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.

JUST PUT HER DOWN AND LEAVE US IN PEACE.

[CYCLOPS SCREAMS]

[GHOSTS WHIMPERING]

DID YOU SEE WHAT I JUST SAW?

YES, SIR. THOSE GHOSTS RAN SCARED.

PAC? ARE YOU OKAY?

NOT EXACTLY.

[EYEBALLS] A YELLOW ONE?!

MUST'VEBEEN SOMETHING I ATE.

PACSTER.

YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

RIGHT AWAY, SIR.

THE ANCIENT ONES PREDICTED THIS COULD

HAPPEN ONE DAY.

BUT I NEVER BELIEVED IT.

[BETRAYUS] WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO BRING YOU

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE NETHER REALM..

BOO. [LAUGHTER]

SCARED YA, DIDN'T I?

BETRAYUS.

GREETINGS, PACWORLDERS.

IT'S YOUR MORTAL ENEMY, LORD BETRAYUS,

COMING TO YOU, LIVE--SO TO SPEAK--

FROM THE NETHER REALM.

TRY OUR HOT-WINGS. [GULPS]

MMM. SPICY.

AH.

BY THIS POINT, YOU'VE MET MY GHOSTLY FORCES.

SO NOW THAT I HAVE YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION,

HERE ARE MY DEMANDS.

SURRENDER UNCONDITIONALLY, OR WE DESTROY PACWORLD.

PRESIDENT SPHEROS, MY DEAR BROTHER,

YOU HAVE ONE HOUR TO MAKE YOUR CHOICE.

FRANKLY, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CHOOSE.

FOR ME IT'S A WIN-WIN.

CIAO, CHUMPS.

WE'RE BACK? WE'RE LIVE?

OH. WE NOW GO TO THE CAPITAL

WHERE PRESIDENT SPHEROS WILL ADDRESS THE NATION

MY FELLOW PACWORLDERS.

TODAY WE HAVE MET THE ENEMIES--

AND THEY ARE DISGUSTING.

THEY'RE ALSO DEAD,

SO THAT'LL MAKE THEM TOUGH TO KILL.

BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU,

AS LONG AS I AM PRESIDENT OF PACWORLD,

WE WILL NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH GHOSTS.

[YAWNS] BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.

HE DOES GO ON, DOESN'T HE?

MY BROTHER IS SUCH A BORE.

WHOA. SLOW DOWN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK HERE?

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DISMANTLING PACWORLD.

WE, UH, RAN INTO SOME TROUBLE.

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

A YELLOW ONE.

OH, PLEASE.

THAT'S CRAZY TALK.

[BETRAYUS] THE YELLOW ONES WERE WIPED OUT

YEARS AGO.

NOW GO BACK THERE AND TRASH THE PLACE.

NO DICE, MR. B. YOU TOLD US

THERE WEREN'T GONNA BE ANY YELLOW ONES.

WHAT DID I JUST SAY?

THERE AREN'T ANY.

THE YELLOW ONES ARE EXTINCT.

WRONG. WRONG.

WE SAW HIM, HE WAS THERE.

THE CHUBBY YELLOW BOY.

YEAH, THE GHOST-GRABBER,

THE MONSTER-MUNCHER.

HE ATE US, DUDE, GOBBLED US UP.

AND SPAT OUT OUR EYEBALLS.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD YOUR EYEBALLS SPAT OUT?

HAVE YOU?

THEY'VE LOST THEIR MINDS, RIGHT?

[GHOSTS CHATTER]

BUT I WIPED THEM OUT.

AT LEAST I THOUGHT I DID.

NO.

NO.

NO!

YOU GO BACK THERE

AND YOU FIND THAT YELLOW ONE.

BUT, BETRAYUS.

NO "BUTS."

PRESENT COMPANY EXCEPTED.

TRACK DOWN THAT YELLOW ONE.

NOW. GO.

HEY, CYLI.

HOW'S SKEEBO DOING?

FINE. THEY TOOK HIM TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM

TO CHANGE HIS DIAPER.

[BOTH LAUGH]

PAC, THANKS FOR SAVING ME OUT THERE.

I OWE YOU.

NAH. I OWE YOU, AND EVERYONE ELSE.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE?

I LET THE GHOSTS OUT.

I SET OFF SOME CHAIN REACTION IN THE MAZE

THAT RELEASED THEM.

THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

YOU CAN'T BLAME YOURSELF.

YEAH, LET'S BLAME SKEEBO INSTEAD.

GOOD IDEA.

THE FACT IS,

THERE'S A PASSAGEWAY IN THERE

CONNECTING THE NETHER REALM TO PACWORLD.

WE NEED TO ALERT THE AUTHORITIES.

AND FAST.

[DOOR OPENS]

HUH?

FAST ENOUGH FOR YA?

THAT'LL DO.

[PAC GROANS] I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.

I STUMBLED INTO THE DOOR AND IT OPENED.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

THAT'S RIGHT. A MISTAKE.

SO, WHY DON'T YOU JUST TAKE US HOME

AND WE'LL FORGET THE WHOLE THING.

GUESS THAT WOULD BE A "NO."

YA THINK?

WHAT I THINK IS THAT I'M IN BIG TROUBLE.

DON'T WORRY, PAC.

WE'RE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY.

NO MATTER WHAT.

HEY, YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG.

PAC'S THE ONE YOU WANT, NOT US.

WHAT HAPPENED TO "WE'RE BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY?"

THAT WAS BEFORE WE WERE THE ONES THEY THREW IN THE POKEY.

MR. PRESIDENT?

THANKS FOR COMING, MY BOY.

IT'S AN HONOR, SIR.

BUT, UH, WHY AM I HERE?

AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY FRIENDS?

NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS.

COME OVER HERE.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

THIS, MY BOY, IS OUR

PACCLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,

WRITTEN CENTURIES AGO.

WOW...

THE ORIGINAL?

NONE OTHER.

IT SAYS HERE-- [CLEARS THROAT]

AND THAT YELLOW ONE IS YOU.

ME?

I'M FLUNKING WOOD SHOP.

NEVERTHELESS, YOU, YOUNG PAC,

ARE THE CHOSEN ONE.

THE FUTURE OF OUR CIVILIZATION

DEPENDS ON YOU.

THEN WE ARE IN DEEP BAT GUANO.

[CUP CLANKING AGAINST BARS]

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?

WHERE'D YOU BUY THOSE GLASSES?

DO YOU HAVE ANY GUM?

[PLAYING HARMONICA]

I GOT THE JAILHOUSE BLUES

THE LOW-DOWN JAILHOUSE BLUES

[HARMONICA SCREECHES]

TELL ME ABOUT THIS PLANT OF YOURS.

IT'S FROM MY PARENTS.

IT'S THE ONLY THING THEY LEFT ME WHEN THEY...

I DIDN'T KNOW THEM VERY WELL.

I DID...

YOU DID?

YOU KNEW MY MOM AND DAD?

WOW.

YOUR PARENTS LEFT YOU A LEGACY FAR BEYOND

THIS ONE TINY FRUIT PLANT.

THEY WERE THE LAST OF THEIR KIND,

EXCEPT FOR YOU, OF COURSE.

FOR CENTURIES, THE YELLOW ONES RULED OUR CIVILIZATION,

SPREADING PEACE AND BROTHERHOOD.

THEN, ONE DAY COMMANDER BETRAYUS LED A VIOLENT REVOLT THAT DEVASTATED THE PLANET.

ULTIMATELY, BETRAYUS AND HIS FORCES WERE DEFEATED.

ALONG WITH HIS MINIONS, HE WAS STRIPPED

OF HIS CORPOREAL BODY

AND THEIR SPIRITS WERE SENTENCED

TO THE NETHER REALM FOR ETERNITY.

BUT NOW, THE GHOSTS HAVE BROKEN FREE.

THANKS TO ME.

GET OVER IT.

BETRAYUS INTENDS TO CONQUER US.

HE THINKS WE'LL OFFER NO RESISTANCE.

BUT HE'S WRONG.

FOR YOU ARE THE LAST OF THE YELLOW ONES

AND YOU WILL SAVE OUR CIVILIZATION.

HUH? SORRY. GOT HUNGRY.

SO, HOW DO I DO THE WHOLE SAVING CIVILIZATION THING

IT'S ALL IN THE GHOST-FIGHTING POWERS OF THE BERRIES.

THESE?

I NEVER KNEW THEY GAVE ME POWERS.

I JUST KNEW THEY MADE ME HUNGRY.

AH, BUT THEY DO GIVE YOU POWERS--

EXTRAORDINARY POWERS.

MAYBE. BUT IT'S A PRETTY SMALL TREE.

NO WAY THERE'S ENOUGH BERRIES TO DEFEAT ALL TH GHOSTS

IN THE NETHER WORLD.

HUH? WHOA.

I STAND CORRECTED.

THIS IS PACWORLD'S TREE OF LIFE.

THE VERY SOUL OF OUR EXISTENCE.

IF ANY MISFORTUNE WERE TO BEFALL IT,

OUR PLANET WOULD PERISH ALLOWING BETRAYUS TO TURN US INTO A GHOST WORLD.

WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

MM, SO MANY DIFFERENT BERRIES.

WELL, IT SEEMS WE HAVE COMPANY.

COULDN'T HANDLE A COUPLE OF KIDS?

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU GUYS GOT HERE.

I CAN'T SAVE THE WHOLE PLANET ON MY OWN, YOU KNOW.

SEE YA, GUYS.

AND DON'T FORGET TO SAY HELLO TO THE WIFE--

OH, AND BE SURE TO TELL HER

ABOUT THAT SKIN CREAM I MENTIONED.

IT RULES.

SO, WHAT'D WE MISS?

[BOTH] WHOA.

WHAT'S WITH THE MONDO TREE?

IT'S ONLY THE KEY TO OUR VERY SURVIVAL.

SEE THOSE BERRIES?

THEY'VE GOT SERIOUS JUICE.

I BELIEVE YOU MEAN POWERS,

SERIOUS POWERS.

Pop-On WHATEVER.

AS I WAS SAYING, WE'RE NOT SURE

WHAT POWERS COME WITH EACH BERRY.

BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THEY ALL GIVE YOU

THE ABILITY TO DEFEAT GHOSTS.

HOW?

YOU MUST EAT THEM.

EAT THE BERRIES?

I CAN DO THAT.

YES. THEN YOU EAT THE GHOSTS.

OH NO. NO WAY.

BEEN THERE, DONE THAT.

NO, THANK YOU.

BUT TO DEFEAT THEM, YOU MUST EAT THEM.

YOU HAVE TO EAT THE GHOSTS.

[ALARM BUZZING]

MR. PRESIDENT.

GHOST SWARM HEADING THIS WAY.

THERE'S MORE I NEED TO TELL YOU

ABOUT YOUR PARENTS--

YOU CAN DO IT, SON.

WE'RE ALL COUNTING ON YOU.

CYLI, SPIRAL,

GO WITH THE PRESIDENT.

I'LL PROTECT THE TREE.

RIGHT.

GOTCHA.

[FAST-PACED MUSIC]

UH-OH. I'M GONNA NEED TO SEE A GASTROENTEROLOGIST AFTER THIS.

[GROANS] TALK ABOUT HEARTBURN.

[GHOSTS HOWL]

THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD.

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.

HEY. I KNOW YOU GUYS.

UH-OH.

NO, PLEASE.

DON'T EAT US AND SPIT OUT OUR EYEBALLS.

NOT AGAIN.

BESIDES, WE TASTE AWFUL.

THAT'S TRUE.

YEAH, ESPECIALLY PINKY.

HEY. DO NOT.

DO TOO.

DO NOT.

ENOUGH.

LET'S GET THIS OVER WITH.

CAN'T WE WORK SOMETHING OUT?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW, MAKE A DEAL.

BETWEEN US.

YEAH, YOU KNOW.

YOU SCRATCH OUR BACK-- AND WE SCRATCH YOURS.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

BUT I DON'T WANT ANY MORE TROUBLE OUT OF ANY OF YOU, GOT IT?

[ALL CHATTER IN AGREEMENT]

BY THE WAY, I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT I TASTE DELICIOUS.

LOOKS LIKE WE BEAT 'EM BACK THIS TIME.

NOT SO MUCH.

THE TREE OF LIFE... IT'S...

IT'S GONE.

[PAC GASPS]

IT'S OVER.

WE'VE LOST.

[BETRAYUS LAUGHING]

THE TREE IS MINE.

AND THAT MEANS IT'S LIGHTS OUT FOR PACWORLD.

NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS-- PRESENT COMPANY EXCEPTED

[BETRAYUS LAUGHS AND CHOKES]

HEY, WHO PUT A CHERRY IN MY DRINK?

NOW WHERE WAS I?

OH, YEAH.

[CONTINUES LAUGHING]
