WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO BRING YOU

COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG SHOW.

STARRING COURAGE, THE COWARDLY DOG.

ABANDONED AS A PUP,

HE WAS FOUND BY MURIEL,

WHO LIVES IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

WITH HER HUSBAND, EUSTACE BAGGE.

BUT CREEPY STUFF HAPPENS IN NOWHERE.

IT'S UP TO COURAGE TO SAVE HIS NEW HOME.

STUPID DOG. YOU MAKE ME LOOK BAD.

[SCREAMING]

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY TURNER ENTERTAINMENT GROUP AND U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

AH. THE MOON LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO BUY, JENNINGS.

WHAT A NICE ADDITION IT WOULD MAKE TO MY COLLECTION.

YES INDEED, SIR.

BUT SOME THINGS ARE JUST NOT FOR SALE.

EVERYTHING IS FOR SALE, JENNINGS. EVEN PEOPLE.

YES, SIR. EVEN PEOPLE.

YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AFTER 50 YEARS WITH ME.

AND ANOTHER THING, JENNINGS, YOU'RE FIRED.

[LAUGHING]

[THUD]

JENNINGS!

OH, JENNINGS.

I CAN'T MOVE.

I'M FREE!

AAHHH!

Eustace: OH, DOG!

OOHHH!

[SCREAMING]

I THINK HE'S OUT THERE...

A...A...[SNARL]...

THIS IS CRAZY. I SAW A BURGLAR. I DID!

THAT'S IT. YOU'RE SLEEPING IN THE ATTIC.

BUT I DON'T WANNA SLEEP IN THE ATTIC.

I'M TELLING YOU THERE'S SOMEONE HERE,

OR MY NAME'S SHIRLEY...

AND IT'S NOT.

[LAUGHING]

EUSTACE, MUST HE REALLY SLEEP IN THE ATTIC?

IT'S SO COLD!

HE SEEMED HAPPY TO ME.

[HOWL]

I JUST KNOW SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

[GROWL]

[SCREAMING]

[GROWL]

DID YOU BREAK THAT DOOR?

OH, FORGET THE DOOR!

[GROWL]

OOOHH!

BUT...BUT...

NOW, COURAGE,

WE AREN'T GOING TO BE DOING THIS ALL NIGHT, ARE WE?

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

IF YOU WAKE ME UP AGAIN,

YOU'LL BE SLEEPING WITH THE TERMITES.

SO, I'M GIVING YOU ONE MORE CHANCE TO ACT LIKE A REAL DOG.

MASTER.

I WONDER WHAT IS TAKING EUSTACE SO LONG.

HE SHOULD BE HERE BY NOW.

Muriel: OH!

OOGA BOOGA BOOGA! [SCREAMING]

NOW YOU SLEEP IN THE ATTIC!

WHAT DID I DO?

I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVE TO SLEEP IN THE...ATTIC!

[MUMBLING] DOG!

WHOA! WHO'S DOING THAT?

OH, IT'S YOU.

MOCK ME, EH?

OH. I'M GONNA GET STRANGLED.

NOW SAY UNCLE. SAY UNCLE!

Eustace: OW!

Courage: UNCLE?

[GROWL]

OH, THAT WAS EUSTACE.

HE'S IN TROUBLE.

WAIT, YOU STAY HERE. I'LL GO.

I MUST BE NUTS!

[SCREAMING]

[HOWL]

STAY CALM. STAY CALM!

[HOWL]

WHAT IS THIS CRAZINESS?

AM I LOSING MY MIND?

NO. JUST MY HAT.

WHERE IS MY HAT?

OH, THERE'S MY HAT.

[SCREAMING]

COME ON. COME ON!

EVIL...SHADOWY... EVIL THINGS...SEARCH!

I DON'T KNOW.

OK. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET PERSONAL.

Computer: SEARCH FOUND.

WHAT? WHAT?

[HOWL]

HEY, I BETTER STOP THAT. I CAN BEGIN TO LIKE IT.

HOW DO I GET RID OF EVIL SHADOWS?

ARE YOU KIDDING?

THIS THING IS DANGEROUS.

HOW DO YOU TALK TO AN EVIL SHADOW?

I'VE GOTTA SAVE MURIEL.

I'LL START IN THE BASEMENT.

THE THINGS I DO FOR LOVE.

HEY SHADOW? ARE YOU DOWN THERE?

[GROWL] [SCREAMING]

MURIEL, I'LL SAVE YOU!

OK. I'LL SAVE YOU FOR REAL THIS TIME.

OK, SHADOW. WHERE'S MURIEL?

[GROWL]

MURIEL, ARE YOU OK?

OH! OH MY GOODNESS!

NO...NO, NO!

OH, NO. NOT THAT!

CUCKOO, CUCKOO.

STOP ALL READY!

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE.

ON AND OFF! ON AND OFF!

YOU'RE DRIVING ME CRAZY.

I'M DRIVING YOU CRAZY?

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MURIEL?

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO HER.

WELL THEN WHERE IS SHE?

WHAT DO I LOOK LIKE, HER TWIN?

SEE? SHE'S BEEN IN THE BATHROOM.

OK. SO WHY ARE YOU SCARING EVERYONE TO DEATH?

WELL, I WAS THE SHADOW OF A CRUEL OLD RICH DUDE.

YES, YES, GO ON.

BUT THAT'S NOT ME. THAT'S NOT ME AT ALL!

I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE IN SHOWBIZ!

TO BE A STAR, BABY! A STAR!

DON'T WE ALL...

I HAVE AN IDEA. COME WITH ME.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE IT IN SHOWBIZ,

BUT UP THERE ARE THE REAL STARS.

WHY DON'T WE HANG WITH THEM?

YOU MEAN BECOME THE SHADOW OF A REAL STAR?

IT'S WORTH A TRY.

NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE.

SOUNDS TOO ROMANTIC TO ME.

BUT WHAT THE HECK?

IT SURE BEATS SCARING THE JEEPERS OUT OF FOLKS!

BY THE WAY, HAVE YOU SEEN THE FARMER?

YEAH, HE'S HIDING IN THAT OLD PICKUP TRUCK.

HE'S A BIGGER COWARD THAN YOU ARE!

GEE, THANKS. GOOD LUCK.

THANKS. SEE YOU IN THE FUNNY PAPERS.

NOT BAD!

[SCREAMING]

READY FOR BED, DEARIES?

OH! NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SCARY.

KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

Muriel: EUSTACE?

EUSTACE!

EUSTACE?
