[Danny, Sam and Tucker finally defeated Freakshow and Jack, Maddie and Mr. and Mrs. Manson are proud]
Nick work, kids! You caught that weirdo Goth punk thief red-handed!
I'm just happy you're all safe.
MMr. Manson
They're more than safe, they're heroes.
[cut to Sam's house]
AAll
[yelling] But you're all still grounded!
SSSam's Grandmother
Grounded, schmounded! This is cruel and unusual punishment!
[shown to be wearing a pink floral dress] I know... But it was the only way I could convince them to lift their restraining order on Danny.
At least Freakshow's in custody and the stolen goods were returned.
So why do I feel like we're forgetting something...?
[cut to Lancer still locked in the janitor's closet]
LMr. Lancer
Waiting for Godot, is anybody out there?! [crying] This is so wrong!
JJanitor
[Comes in] See you Monday.
[the janitor leaves and closes the door behind him and Mr. Lancer continues to pound on the door]
[After Danny and Dani leave the destroyed cafeteria to chase the third ghost clone, leaving Sam and Tucker behind]
LMr. Lancer
[barges in and sees the ruined cafeteria] To Kill a Mockingbird, people! Who started this?
[Dash points at Sam and Tucker as they once again take the blame]
LMr. Lancer
[unhappy, coming from the door of the cafeteria] Manson. Foley. Can you tell me why you're not still in the cafeteria?
[referring to Danny] We have to help him!
[quickly faking an excuse to Mr. Lancer] Why are we not in the cafeteria? [pause] Um...Because we're meeting Danny, and totally ditching school.
And there's nothing you can do about it...old man.
LMr. Lancer
[angry] Old man?! [Tucker and Sam start running away and Mr. Lancer tries to catch them] You two are in a world of trouble! [his hip cracks] Ow! My hip.
JMJack, Maddie, and Mr. Lancer
[to Danny, Sam and Tucker] YOU ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!
Skipping school, stealing and wrecking the Specter Speeder!
LMr. Lancer
Calling me "old man!"
Tucker, Sam, when I call your parents, you are going to be grounded... [Maddie pauses - she has been overshadowed by Dani] but there's no need to call their parents, really. Right?
EEEveryone except Maddie
What?!
LMr. Lancer
Just wait a minute! [Mr. Lancer pauses - he has also been overshadowed by Dani] No, she's right. I mean, you can always build a better and more cool version of your... ship thing. Right?
Hey, that's true! I'm gonna start building a cooler ship thing right now! [He runs to his lab. Everyone else looks at each other, confused.]
[to Mr. Lancer] The Purpleback Gorilla research we traced goes back to an assignment YOU set back a while ago.
LMr. Lancer
And what makes you think I want to cooperate with the feds?
Because ghosts pose a constant threat to your student body.
And because we're with the government and have access to your tax records...
LMr. Lancer
What do you want to know and how fast do you want to know it?
SSign
[reads "Camp Skull and Crossbones on beautiful Lake Eerie"]
Creepy with two "e"s all right. In fact, this may qualify for three.
C'mon, you guys! There's nothing scary about this place!
LMr. Lancer
Hello pioneers! [walks out of the mess hall with Miss Tetslaff]
[Star, Mikey, Lester, Dash, Paulina, and Kwan gasp dramatically.]
Mr. Lancer? Miss Tetslaff? What are you doing here?
SStudents
[quietly, hopeful] Please say "just passing through," please say "just passing through"...
LMr. Lancer
Children, relax! For the next eight weeks, we're not your teachers!
[The students sigh in relief.]
Better! We're your counselors!
MMikey
Before I burst into tears at the thought of my lost summer, can you tell us where the bathrooms are?
[Mikey, Lester, Danny, Sam, Tucker, and another girl gasp dramatically.]
LMr. Lancer
Call of the Wild!
Suck it up, Lancer! You're in the wilderness! [holds up a roll of toilet paper] All the world's your bathroom!
