[While Muriel folds the last shirt, Courage is relaxing inside a wash basket]
MurielArms in, shoulders back, bend over backwards. Ah, the power of doing housework. [puts the last shirt on top of the three shirts she had already folded. Eustace, wearing a towel, walks into the room. He grabs his shirt that was underneath the three shirts Muriel had folded and pulls it out, causing the three shirts to fall to the floor; annoyed] Eustace.
Uh, sorry. You had the pile upside down.
[As Muriel picks up the three shirts, Eustace takes off his towel and starts to put on his shirt. Muriel starts to fold a shirt]
Muriel
Arms in, shoulders back, bend over backwards. Arms in, shoulders back, bend over backwards.
[Eustace starts to button his shirt, but his arms are telekinetically pulled straight down and bended backwards and his back is telekinetically bended backwards. Courage gasps in horror]
Muriel, you folded me clothes too tight. What are you trying to do to me?
Muriel
I didn't do anything different, just the usual wash and fluff and fold. Must be the new detergent I'm using.
[Eustace grumbles angrily. He uses his feet to push himself up and walks out while muttering to himself. Courage and Muriel watch on]
[While Eustace reads his newspaper, Muriel polishes his shoes]
Muriel
Beautiful. A good shine can make an old woman look young again.
[lowers his newspaper] Ain't nothing gonna make you young again. [puts down his newspaper] So just give me my shoes.
Muriel
[gets up and gives Eustace his shoes] Here you are, [Eustace takes his shoes from her] crabby.
[puts on his shoes] Eh, who needs them polished anyway? Just gonna get scuffed. Stupid as showering.[Courage is gnawing on an anchor when Eustace's shoes explode] Muriel! What are you trying to do to me? [grabs his leg] Next time you wanna blow up my shoes, take 'em out back!
Muriel
But I shined them just like always. Maybe they've changed the shoe polish formula.
[Eustace is standing outside when Muriel comes out with his hat]
Muriel
There it is for you, Eustace. I steamed it and blocked it, like always. [gives Eustace his hat]
[Courage comes outside sniffing]
Thanks. [takes his hat from Muriel and puts it on his head, but the two chickens that were inside the hat start pecking on Eustace's head. Eustace runs around screaming in pain]
[Courage and Muriel watch on]
Muriel
Must be something new they're putting in the steam.
SHSpirit of the Harvest Moon
GET OUT.
Muriel
Well that's not very polite!
SHSpirit of the Harvest Moon
You didn't let me finish.
Muriel
I'm sorry.
SHSpirit of the Harvest Moon
It's time to hit the road.
Muriel
Well, that's not much better!
Muriel
[comes out of the house, seeing Courage playing with the Storm Goddess; surprised] Oh, isn't that lovely? Courage, you've made a friend. [Courage shakes his head in denial that the Storm Goddess is not his friend] Please, come in and have a cup of tea.
SGStorm Goddess
I'd love to. [enters the house as Courage moans worriedly] You know, Muriel, the life of a goddess isn't always so heavenly.
Muriel
No, I suppose being a storm goddess isn't easy.
SGStorm Goddess
Oh, it's just... I've lost my precious dog, Duncan.
Muriel
Oh, my. I know just how you feel. If I ever lost Courage, I don't know what I'd do.
SGStorm Goddess
Actually, your dog reminds me of Duncan. [takes out a locket and opens it with a photo of Duncan] Isn't the resemblance uncanny?
Muriel
Oh, yes. They look exactly alike.
SGStorm Goddess
I miss him so much. [sighs sadly]
GGuard
You must not enter le museum now, Madame. It is only five minutes until closing.
Muriel
But I've got to see the Mona Lisa. My mother always said Mona and I were like twins. Don't you agree?
GGuard
[groans] You look nothing like the Mona Lisa, and I give you five minutes to go see for yourself. Stupid America.
[Courage, Muriel, and Eustace get stuck in a cornfield ditch after leaving a county fair and ended up getting attacked by a flock of crows]
Must be stuck in a ditch! [pounds the wheel, grumbling in frustration]
Muriel
Now, Eustace, getting all unhinged isn't going to help. Like my Aunt Gertrude always said... [screams in terror when she sees something coming towards them]
[A black creature appears in the cornfield, groaning, and banging its fists rapidly on the truck's hood]
Hey, you! [presses the horn, scaring the creature, revealing to be a scarecrow that was carried by a pack of crows after they fly away, and it lands on top of the hood, causing him and Muriel to scream in fear]
[Courage is helping Muriel bake Scottish dream cookies while is Eustace is looking everywhere for his glasses]
[entering the kitchen; blindsided] Muriel! You seen my glasses?! [whacks the tub of butter out of Courage's hand and it falls on him, covering him in butter]
Muriel
No, I haven't. Did you misplace 'em?
[grumbling] Yes, I misplaced them! [bumping into objects] Oww!
Muriel
Courage you better help Eustace find his glasses. Be his guide dog. We wouldn't want him to lose his way.
[retorting] Get away from me!
[Muriel is coming down with a terrible cold and is sneezing uncontrollably]
[getting eggs on his face as Muriel sneezes] What are you trying to do?! Get me sick?! Oh! [eats the eggs with no concern]
Muriel
I'm sorry, Eustace. This is the worst cold I've ever… [starts to sneeze again]
Muriel
And now, I have the strangest feeling I'm not going to explode at all. [burps up a bloated Courage, and he lands on the ground with a thud; shrinks to her normal size] Oh, my.
Hey! Who's got my carrot?! [Courage belches, laughs, and grows giant-sized; annoyed] You dumb dog.
Come back here with my carrot! [chases after him]
Muriel
I've had it with you not caring what I think or say!
They should make a remote that shuts off people!
Muriel
Don't worry, I'm shutting myself off! I'm not speaking anymore, listen to the TV all you want. You won't be hearing from me again! [Courage tries to protest] Sorry, Courage. My voice isn't welcome in this house, so I'm keeping my thoughts to myself.
What? I wasn't listening.
