Pericles quotes from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated

Professor Pericles

The antidote to stop Aphrodite has several distinct components: Pewter, found in grout used only in stained glass windows of the eighteenth century. Ectoplasm, or as it's more commonly known, ghost mucus. And finally, rose quartz, mined in the caves beneath Crystal Cove.

Pericles

Soon Crystal Cove will cease to exist and the Planispheric Disk shall be mine. THEN no one will ever stand in my way AGAIN. (laughs)

Pericles

My plan, ruined by those meddling kinder. They will pay. All of them. They will pay.

Pericles

I'm coming for you, master. I'm coming to set you free.

I am the goddess of love! Bow at the feet of Aphrodite!

Velma

I think you mean Amanda. (unmasks Aphrodite) Amanda Smythe?

Oh, you think you're so smart. Do you know how it feels to be humiliated? Me, the smartest and most gifted student in the history of Crystal Cove, laughed at by everyone in this school.

Velma

Well, actually...

You know nothing! They had promised me I would be prom queen, but instead they pulled a hideous mask over my face: The face of a monster. They ridiculed me. I left Crystal Cove that night, but I promised that someday I would return. I had always been good at chemistry, so when I stumbled on the formula for an artificial pheromone that could make people lose their minds with love, I knew I would have my revenge.

Daphne

Why? You're pretty now.

The scars run deep. I would reclaim the crown that was rightly mine, then I would destroy this town the way it destroyed me. My plan was genius! And I would have succeeded, too, if it wasn't for your olfactory-challenged sidekicks. (The deputies arrest Amanda)

Pericles

I am no one's sidekick.

You said it.

Shaggy

Well, Scooby Doo, like, you saved the day.

And Pericles, too.

Daphne

I guess even a diabolical and criminal bird can change his evil in malevolent ways.

(appears) Highly doubtful.

(nervously) Who--who are you?

I am an associate of Mr. E. Pericles left him a message that you should hear. (plays the recorded tape)

Pericles

It was I who gave Aphrodite the secret formula. Once that was accomplished, I could go after the real ingredients I needed to find. First, an ancient conquistador's ship manifest. Next, a stone piercing industrial-grade diamond drill bit. And finally, the geological reports from the Darrow Mining Company. Your move, Mr. E. (The tape ends)

Shaggy

Okay, can I get a teeny little time-out here? What does any of that stuff have to do with anything?

The curse of the haunted treasure, an ancient fortune left behind by the conquistadors that first settled this area. Legend has it that it is buried somewhere deep beneath us, and it now appears that Pericles is on the verge of discovering it. (Everyone gasp) And if he does, it could well mean the end of Crystal Cove. (walks away)

Oof. Eahhh! Wood gets older than kindle!

Nice to see you again... (unmasks the Shadowy Figure)

Professor Pericles.

Pericles

Well, hello, children. How did you know?

Velma

Simple. There's only one brain large enough, beside my own, that could have pulled this off. We found the trojan horse program you put on Fred's laptop that let you control all of Fred's traps remotely.

Pericles

Fred really should have come up with a more secure password than "trappin' guy".

Shaggy

Once you had control of the traps, it was like totally simple to simulate a haunting and terrify the Mayor.

Velma

And your avian attributes provided the means to make your spooky shadow creep float like a real ghost.

Daphne

Too bad for you your avian diet gave you away.

Pericles

Oh, what can I say? A bird's got to eat.

It still doesn't explain where my dad is, and why you were haunting him.

Pericles

Why do you think? I wanted his piece of the Planispheric Disk, of course. I knew he would have it close. I just didn't know where. So I decided to scare it out of him.

(looks at the mysterious piece) Planispheric Disk? (to Pericles) But how did you know he had it in the first place?

Pericles

Because, dear friend, he stole it from me a long time ago. (the gang is confused) Don't believe me? Ask him yourself. (takes off the Shadowy Figure costume and pushes the remote control's button that changes the stairs to slide, Fred unhands the piece of the Planispheric Disk and the gang falls down to the basement) (takes the piece #1 of the Planispheric Disk) I am the smartest criminal parrot in the world! You didn't think I have a back-up plan? (laughs) Until we meet again. Auf wiedersehen, Mystery Incorporated. (flies away)

Pericles

Hello, Ed Machine.

What are you doing here?

Pericles

I'd like you to deliver a message to Ricky. Or should I call him Mr. E?

(last words) Say what you want to say Pericles, then get out of my house.

Pericles

(chuckles) Dear Ed, you misunderstand. I don't want to say anything. (attacks Ed Machine in the dark)

(prepares grape juice) I'm glad you came. I wasn't sure you would.

Pericles

Of course, Ricky. I'm happy you invited me.

To a future of unimaginable wealth.

Pericles

To the treasure. For with it, we shall rule the world.

A meeting of this momentous importance deserves some mood music. (turns on the radio)

Cassidy

Remember, all you listeners out there, something bad is going down at Crystal Cove. And by down, I mean underneath. Watch out for any foul play, especially of the feathered kind.

Pericles

(shuts down the radio) Ahh, Cassidy. If we are to continue, she will need to be silenced forever.

Agreed. Forever.

There she is.

Cassidy

It's over, Miss October Pest. Call off the bots. (turns the chair and sees the corpse) Ugh!

Shaggy

Like, that is worse than robots.

Nibiru.

Did that thing... just whisper?

I heard it, too. It sounded like...

Velma

Nibiru.

Daphne

You think that was her name?

Velma

No. Her name was Frau Abigail Glück. She was part of the Benevolent Lodge of Mystery, the mystery-solving gang formed by Burlington in the 1880s. And when I got back from the Burlington Library, someone had pinned a picture of another mystery-solving group on my wall: The Darrow Family.

Daphne

Including us and the original Mystery Incorporated? That makes 4 groups.

Velma

My guess-- there's more. Almost as if this has all happened before.

Pericles

Exactly right. Mystery Incorporated.

Professor Pericles?

Pericles

Ah! Lovely. I see you have met what's left of Frau Glück. I met Frau Glück in Bavaria in the 1930s. She discovered the missionaries possessed the fifth and the sixth pieces of the Planispheric Disk. She built this lab and a host of robots to aid her search for the pieces. I finally found this lab and continued the Frau's work, building a legion of her Kriegstaffebots to retrieve the pieces for me. My holographic masquerade as Frau Glück bought my bots all the time they needed. And I would have gotten away with eliminating Cassidy if it weren't for you meddling kids. Now that I have everything I need, I can dispose of this place and all of you at the same time. (takes the piece of the Planispheric Disk) Farewell, darling kinder. Farewell. (escapes the underwater lab in an escape capsule)

Pericles

They do not suspect us of having set the bomb. Excellent.

Not so excellent, however, is the fact that it didn't work. That idiot trap fiend found a way to blow up my bomb, and the gang walked free. I would have destroyed my own company to get those Planispheric Disk pieces. These children are proving hard to handle.

Pericles

We must find another way. Perhaps somebody close who can betray the kinder without them ever seeing it coming.

Of course. Brad and Judy.

Pericles

Question is, will they be willing to betray their only son?

Pericles

Perfect.

Judy

All the pieces of...

Brad

The Planispheric Disk are ours!

I believe it's time to put all of it together.

Brad

I don't understand.

Judy

Where are our pieces?

If you're watching this, you're probably wondering what's happened to your pieces of the Planispheric Disk. In a word, you've been scammed, conned, bamboozled.

Daphne

That's 3 words, Fred, but I think they get the idea. We did this to you.

Yeah.

Shaggy

And we will be more than happy to tell you how we did it.

Velma

It was all an elaborate plan masterminded by your very own Freddie.

We created Krampus by borrowing Charlie the Haunted Robot and dressing him up in clothes we bought off German gypsies who live in Crystal Cove's haunted forest.

Velma

As for Krampus moving around, he was being remote controlled by Jason Wyatt, who agreed to help for lenience from the Mayor on his mother's sentence.

Shaggy

Like, Jason also helped create an invisible aerosol that was used to turn hair white and make it grow long for added effect.

We needed to keep you away from the vault. You following us following Krampus was the perfect way to keep you distracted so we could carry out our master plan: Breaking into Mr. E's vault.

Daphne

Freddie planted a bug on Brad Chiles' clothing so that we could get the code to the vault.

And once we had that code...

Velma

We could give it to our operative. Someone with intimate knowledge of Mr. E's lair: Hot Dog Water.

(surprised) Hot Dog Water?

Velma

I still know how to get in touch with her.

Shaggy

Like, when Velma told Hot Dog Water what we had planned, HDW was in.

And while we stole the real pieces...

You were stealin' fake ones.

Daphne

The real pieces were instead safely hidden with the one person no one would ever suspect: Fred's fake father, the ex-Mayor Jones.

My not-really-my-dad dad may have betrayed us once to get the disk pieces, but when he heard what we were planning, he was more than glad to help us take you down.

Shaggy

And, like, Mary Anne Gleardan also agreed to help us after the current Mayor offered her lenience on her sentence.

She really wants to go back to the 7th grade.

I guess I secretly hoped you guys might not try to steal the pieces from us. But I guess I always knew you would. Which leaves me with only one thing left to say: Real mom, real dad, don't expect me home for dinner. Ever.

And we're taking Nova with us, too. You don't deserve her.

Daphne

Oh. Let's see what it looks like: The whole Planispheric Disk.

Shaggy

Like, whoa.

Velma

It's beautiful.

We have the whole thing. That leaves only one question.

What do we do now?

Nibiru. (laughs)

Brad

But--

Stifle it, Chiles. Pericles has the floor.

Pericles

So, the kinder still have the disk. You couldn't even manipulate your own son? Pathetic.

Brad

Fine. We failed.

Judy

That's right, Brad.

Brad

Not now, Judy. (to Pericles) Aren't you the smart one who should have seen through Fred's ruse?

Pericles

Don't push me, older pretty boy. I want those pieces, and since you and your sweet, dumb bride failed me, it is up to you to recover them before people get hurt. (his paws break the table part)

Velma

I mapped all the attacks on all the farms in the area, and look, they create an outline of a magnifying glass just like the one the old Mystery Incorporated used as their symbol. It's centered around Destroido.

Daphne

Cute little moo cows turned into horrible monsters. There's only one mind evil enough to come up with something like that.

Professor Pericles.

Daphne

Velma, is there anyway we can spy on the old Mystery Incorporated? Didn't you say Hot Dog Water hooked us up somehow at Destroido?

Velma

I almost forgot. Hot Dog Water left us a back door into the Destroido security system when she was there stealing the Planispheric Disk pieces.

Can you get more volume?

You have gone too far this time, Pericles. Too far! (The next scene depicts the conversation of Ricky (Mr. E) and Professor Pericles) This macabre herd of skull cattle you've created is costing millions of Destroido's money. My money. And I currently have 28 of my best scientists listed as presumed missing.

(heard in the other room) No, NO! AAAAAHH!

Make that 29.

Pericles

Ricky, one cannot make a genius omelet without breaking a few worthless eggs. Right, Brad and Judy?

Brad

You said it, Professor Pericles.

Judy

He's a genius, right, Brad?

Brad

He sure is, Judy. He sure is.

Pericles

And make no mistake, Ricky, I will break any egg that gets in my way: Ed Machine, Cassidy Williams, or perhaps even you. My herd of skull cattle is perfect in every way. I have crossbred cows, piranhas, and bees to create ultimate monsters. And I'm their master. My precious creations exist for one purpose: to devour Crystal Cove. My herd of male drones shall level this city to the ground, leaving nowhere for the Mystery kinder to hide the Planispheric Disk.

Shaggy

Like, he's gonna destroy Crystal Cove!

Come on, gang. We have to warn the town.

Pericles

Eagle and Gänseblümchen. Ricky! Ricky, what have you done? (Ricky Owens looking at pictures of Cassidy Williams) I've been locked out of the system.

I know. I did it on purpose. You're out of control Professor Pericles, and I'm putting a stop to it. I'm in charge. I built Destroido from the ground up while you were cooling your beak in prison. It's time that I..-

Pericles

You are in charge of nothing, Ricky Owens. You have never been anything other than an idiotic human mascot, a shoulder for me to perch upon.
