01x11 - Boo, Who?

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

[Alice] Hey, Dinah, what do you think?

[Dinah meows]

It's part of my Halloween costume.

I'm going as a cat.

I love Halloween.
Especially trick-or-treating.

I wonder how many treats I'll get.

Should I use this one?

Or this one?

Or this one?

It's hard to guess.

But I wanna make sure
I have a big enough bag.

[sighs]

I need some time to figure this out.

[yawns]

Thank you.

Good morning, Mr. Rabbit.

[Rabbit] Oh, good morning, Alice.

Look at these strawberries
the Tweedles grew.

-Would you care for some?
-Oh, I-- Actually, no, thank you.

I don't seem to have much
of an [yawns] appetite this morning.

You seem a little sleepy.

Well, it's no wonder.

I was up half the night
counting jelly beans for the contest.

What contest?

The Royal Jelly Bean Contest.

Ooh.

Yes. I filled a jumbo jar of jelly beans,

and whoever estimates
the right number wins them all.

-Estimates?
-Yes, estimates.

It means making a smart guess.

Ah. Sounds great. Can anyone enter?

Anyone but me.

Since I filled the jar,

I am the only one
who knows how many beans are in it.

So, bunny, old buddy, how about a hint?

I don't know what you mean.

He means...
how about some help for your old pals?

[both] Us.

[disco music playing]

Well, I'll tell you what.

[all] Yeah?

-I can't give you a hint.
-[Dee & Dum] Oh.

-But...
-Huh?

...since you're here first,

I can let you try and estimate
the number of jelly beans

before anyone else.

[gasps] Yeah.

Follow me.

[chuckles]

Prepare to be amazed.

This jar is jam-packed with jelly beans.

"Jam-packed"? Is that a hint, old chum?

Indeed... not.

This is a contest.
So as I said, I don't give hints.

You won't spill the beans, huh?

Gracious, no.

It will take me far too long
to recount them all.

Oh, no. "Spill the beans"
just means tell what you know.

All I'll tell you
is that there are a great many beans.

So guessing correctly
will be very difficult.

[fanfare plays]

[gasps]

I guess one jelly bean.

It's a good thing we got here first.

Thi-- This is impossible.

This jar was full
when I went to bed last night.

[all yelp]

Your Majesty! What's wrong?
You look as if you've seen a ghost.

Is it that obvious?

[gasps]

As long as we're on the subject,
let me ask you something.

What do you think about haunted houses?

Haunted? You mean as in full of ghosts?

Yes. Do you believe in them?

I mean ghosts.

I believe in staying away from them.

I don't know, Your Majesty.

-I've heard of ghosts in stories.
-Right. But I don't think they're real.

Okay. But suppose a friend,
uh, someone wise and not easy to fool,

told you they'd seen a ghost?

Someone wise?

Not easy to fool?

I don't think I know anyone like that.

I meant someone like me.

-[Rabbit] Oh.
-You?

You saw a ghost, Your Majesty?

Yes, I did.
Last night, in this very palace.

Are you sure it wasn't a dream?

Or a shadow in the moonlight?

Or swamp gas?

This was a real ghost, I tell you.

It-- In the middle of the night,
I heard a noise in the throne room.

[door creaks, then closes]

[voice moaning]

[Red Queen] So I got up to investigate.

It was dark.

I listened.

I looked.

When suddenly, it appeared.

-A ghost!
-[moaning]

I was petrified. Terrified.

Horrified. [whimpers]

And I don't scare easily.

[laughs] Maybe Your Majesty
ate something before bedtime

that gave you bad dreams.

Like a jar of jelly beans.

I did no such thing.

And I wasn't dreaming.

The ghost floated around,
right into this room.

That might explain
the empty jelly-bean jar.

Empty? Aha!

See? That proves it.

-It does?
-It does?

It could.

You say the jar was full
when you went to bed?

And if the queen didn't eat them...

Then there's only one possible explanation
for what happened.

They've been gobbled up by a ghost.

[spooky music playing]

I'm telling you,
there really is a ghost in my palace.

There's only one thing to do next.

Somebody needs to stay up all night

to be on the lookout for the ghost.

Somebody reporting for duty.

-[Rabbit] ...2805...
-[jelly bean clacks]

-...2806...
-[jelly bean clacks]

Ahh. Done.

Now, then...

if there are any ghosts out there

thinking of eating
these jelly beans again...

they'd better think twice.

-Because this-- Because I-- Uh--
-[clinking]

Because I can tell you right now,

this bunny is no scaredy-cat.

-Boo.
-[yelps]

Sorry. Did I hear you say "scaredy-cat"?

[clears throat]

Uh, yes. There's a ghost
on the loose in the palace,

and I was just saying I am not afraid.

Really?

If I were you, I'd be scared silly.

After all, the ghost could be anywhere,

ready to jump out.

Uh, yes.

Well, one has to keep calm
in these situations.

What a brave bunny.

The only one awake
in a dark, gloomy palace.

The only one, that is,

except for the ghost!

Good night. Sleep tight.

Don't let the ghost give you a fright.

A ghost might give me a fright?

Ha! Ridiculous.

[laughs]

Don't make me laugh. Ha!

[laughing]

[yelling]

You're awfully jumpy.

Oh, sorry, Your Majesty.

Um, jumpiness comes naturally
to us rabbits.

Mm. Well, start patrolling
the throne room.

The only way I'm going to rest easy

is if you're on ghost guard duty
for the rest of the night.

[hesitates, then groans]

[sneaky music playing]

Whew.

So far, so good.

No ghosts.

[chuckles]

Just have to stay awake for...

six more hours.

No problem.

Piece of cake.

[chuckles]

I never felt so wide awake in all my life.

[Rabbit snoring]

-[voice moaning]
-Who's there?

[gasps] I can't see a thing.

Oh, I can't-- Oh.

[whimpering]

I demand that you show yourself.

[moaning]

[screams, then whimpers]

[continues moaning]

Rabbit! Gho-- Gho-- Gho--

Ghost!

Rabbit!

Rabbit! Ghost!

Rabbit! Rabbit!

-Rabbit!
-What is it? What's wrong?

Oh, you mean you didn't see?

Oh. I must have dozed off.

Oh, great.

You fall asleep
while there's a ghost on the loose.

A ghost? There's a ghost
out in the throne room right now?

-Yes, yes, yes.
-Oh!

Oh! Oh, what are you doing?

You're supposed to be out there
protecting me.

[yelps]

-I-- I-- I am.
-No, you're not.

You're in here hiding behind me.

I thought it would be more sporting
to give him a head start.

Oh... This is silly.
There's nothing to be afraid of.

And I'll prove it. Come on.

We'll catch this ghost together.

You first. Oh, come on.

I don't want to go first.
I don't think it's a good idea.

-You're supposed to protect the palace.
-I'm not qualified.

[both gasp]

He was here.
He's eaten all the jelly beans again.

I'd love to be his dentist.

I can't sleep
with a ghost wandering around the halls.

What are we going to do?

-Move?
-No.

I've had enough of this greedy ghost.

Tomorrow you will find a way
to de-ghost this palace.

But I was tired
from staying up counting jelly beans.

I couldn't stay awake.

Fascinating.

Care for an apple?

Oh, no. Thank you.

For some reason,
I haven't had much of an appetite lately.

Oh, well, more for me.

Now, about this so-called ghost...

It's not "so-called." It's real.

Do you have any idea
how I might get it to go away?

No.

But your problem reminds me of a story.

[rooster crows]

[Caterpillar] Once upon a time,
there was a boy

who delivered papers early in the morning.

The boy liked being awake
before everyone else,

riding his bicycle
through the quiet neighborhood.

[glass shatters]

There was just one problem.

At one house
at the end of a long, dark street...

there was a dog.

A dog that didn't like to be disturbed.

[dog growling]

Every day,
the boy would carefully deliver the paper,

then run like crazy.

But one day, the boy fell.

The dog seized its chance and gave chase.

But the dog didn't want to bite the boy.

-It wanted a favor.
-Hmm?

[Caterpillar] He wanted the boy
to deliver two papers:

one for him and one for his master.

You might say
the dog was a real newshound.

The boy agreed,

and from then on, he and the little dog
read the paper together every morning.

[both laugh]

So you see,
things aren't always as they seem.

Perhaps there's no ghost at all.

But the queen saw it
with her own two eyes.

Far be it from me
to not believe the queen.

All right.

Let's say there is a ghost. Why worry?

It will probably leave on its own
and find some better place to haunt.

Like where?

Like the nearest jelly-bean factory.

I can't wait till we win.

-I'll make jelly-bean stew...
-Oh.

-...jelly-bean potpies...
-Oh.

-...jelly-bean casserole...
-Mm.

Jelly-bean stew?

Jelly-bean potpie?

Where did you get recipes like that?

What if you don't win?
You know what they say:

Don't count your chickens
before they're hatched.

Who said anything about counting chickens?

-We're talking jelly beans.
-No. It's just a saying.

It means you shouldn't plan on something
before it happens.

In this case,

you shouldn't get excited about winning
something until you've won it.

Well, we'll never win the jelly beans

if we spend all our time
counting a bunch of chickens.

[wheels screech]

Nobody is going to win anything
the way things are going.

What? What do you mean, Rabbit?

I mean there's a ghost in the palace.

We heard. But we don't mind.

There's no reason why he can't
enter the contest like everyone else.

After all,
that's the spirit of competition.

Mm-hm. Oh!

He got a little-- [clears throat]

Oh...

But this ghost has stolen the jelly beans
two nights in a row.

A greedy ghost.

I don't know. I've never heard
of a ghost that eats jelly beans.

Who else could it be?

You know the old saying:
Where there are missing jelly beans...

-There's a ghost.
-Exactly.

The point is,
I've been ordered to get rid of the ghost.

And I don't know what to do.

[both chuckle]

You're in luck, dear bunny.

It just so happens
that we know a thing or two

about getting rid of ghosts.

A thing or two? Don't be modest.

We know at least a thing or three.

[groans]

Our ghost trap works like this.

The ghost follows
this trail of jelly beans...

[shoes tapping]

...toward the jar.

But as he reaches his hand inside...

He steps on the rubber ducky.

It's foolproof.

Foolproof?

Are you sure?

Absolutely.
Our market research clearly shows

that nine out of ten fools
were completely confused

by this ghost trap.

But how does the rubber ducky
help catch the ghost?

Allow us to demonstrate.

-Mr. Hare.
-Delighted.

Stand back, everyone.

Oh, oh.

[clears throat]

[moaning] Boo.

Boo.

-[toy squeaks]
-Boo--

[alarm wailing]

[Red Queen laughs]

Enough!

Turn it off.

-You're hired.
-Oh! Thank you, Your Majesty.

Now you and Rabbit
can enjoy a good night's sleep.

-Trust Hatter...
-And Hare.

...to de-ghost this place.

That spirit
doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.

Oh!

[speaking indistinctly]

[sneaky music playing]

-[carrot crunches]
-Oh!

Sorry.

Carrot.

Why are you eating a carrot?

We're supposed to be
on the lookout for a ghost.

Vitamin A. It helps you see in the dark.

Well, try to crunch quietly.

We don't want
the ghost to know we're here.

Hatter.

Yes?

I was thinking...

what do we do
with the ghost once we catch him?

Well, I don't know. Let him go.
Out in the woods, I suppose.

Well...

could I keep him?

I always wanted a pet.

Fine, but don't complain to me
when you get tired of feeding him

and taking him for walks.

[voice moaning]

-What did you say?
-I didn't say anything.

-I thought you said something.
-I didn't say anything.

If I didn't say anything
and you didn't say anything,

then it must have been...

The queen snoring?

No.

-[both] The ghost.
-[spooky organ music playing]

[moaning]

[squeaks]

[alarm wailing]

We caught him! It worked!

Huh. How about that?

Did you catch the ghost? Let me see.

[gasps]

Rabbit. You're the thief?

Where am I? How did I get here?

Last thing I remember
I was asleep in my room.

A likely story.
If you were asleep, how did you get here?

Oh!

Wait a minute, Your Majesty.
He was sleepwalking.

That's right.

He was probably so overtired
from counting jelly beans

that he raided the jar
without ever waking up.

That would explain why I haven't had much
of an appetite in the morning.

[yawns]

And also why you have
rainbow-colored spots on your tongue.

Oh.

You see, Your Majesty,
in the dark, in his nightshirt and cap,

he only looked like a ghost.

So the palace isn't haunted.

What a relief.

[chuckling] I'll say.

My jelly-bean nightmare is finally over.

Oh, Rabbit. You are a kidder.

Instead of a contest,
I shall divide up the jelly beans

among all my loyal subjects.

-Oh!
-Oh!

After I get all the red ones, of course.

Indeed, I'd estimate
that there are enough of them

for everyone to get quite a large share.

Just think, Rabbit,

you can finally have some jelly beans
while you're awake.

Uh, yes.
I think someone else can have my share.

For some reason,
I seem to have lost my sweet tooth.

You are...

You know, I've been thinking
about trick-or-treating tonight, Dinah.

Since I know
how much candy I got last year,

I can estimate
how much I'll get this year.

I don't think I'll get this much.

And hopefully, I'll get more than this.

This should do it.

And if not,
I can always run home for a second bag.
