HEHarlan Ellison
H.P., are you all right?
HProfessor Hatecraft
Harlan. Yes. Just an overeager fan who got carried away.
HEHarlan Ellison
Fans. Imbeciles fit only to be gnawed by rabid rats.
HProfessor Hatecraft
Yes. Someone could write a book.
HEHarlan Ellison
How about, "A boy and his fans", by Harlan Ellison and H.P. Hatecraft?
HProfessor Hatecraft
I was thinking something more along the lines of, "Shavu-ra hatafar, the fan that had no name".
HEHarlan Ellison
Except, uh, you just named it.
HProfessor Hatecraft
Don't start with me, Ellison.
HProfessor Hatecraft
Now, Regina, time to come clean and reveal that you're-- (unmasks The Obliteratrix)
SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred
Alice May?
HProfessor Hatecraft
Who's Alice May?
She once pretended to be a Ghost Girl to kidnap Fred for her man posse because she wanted revenge for her father, the Creeper.
But, like, how did you get out of jail?
AMAlice May
I got out with the help of the same person who sent me to destroy you... Mr. E!
SSScooby, Shaggy, Daphne, Velma and Fred
Huh?
AMAlice May
E enlisted my services to put you kids in danger in hopes of drawing out his enemy, Professor Pericles. He figured if Pericles thought you were in trouble, he'd come to your rescue. E knew if he could get Pericles to reveal himself, it'd leave his piece of the Planispheric Disk vulnerable. Everything was fake. Special effects.
But, like, where'd you get all the high-tech stuff? How'd you disappear?
AMAlice May
E took care of that. It was all courtesy of one of Destroido's shell corporations: Quest Research Laboratories. They supplied me with everything I needed: Weapons, a high-tech cloaking device, even the effects.
(handcuffs Alice) So this was all staged by Mr. E to use the kids as parrot bait.
AMAlice May
That's right. And it would have worked, too, if I hadn't been stopped by you, Miss meddling sassy pants! (Next scene in the police car with Sheriff Stone and Alice May arrested)
Wait, so are you telling me that you escaped from prison months ago, and I never noticed? (laughs) I don't think so. (drives away)
Well, gang, another mystery solved.
I just wish we could have done something about your job, Professor Hatecraft.
DDean
(arrives with car) H.P.? Yoo-hoo! Oh, there you are, you dear man.
HProfessor Hatecraft
Don't worry, Dean Fenk. I'm on my way to clean out my office now.
DDean
Clean out your office? Oh, never. Heh! Haven't you heard the wonderful news? The song "Char Gar Gothakon", based on your novel, is a huge hit in Japan. And since Darrow College published the book, we're gonna make a fortune! (Professor Hatecraft is amazingly surprised) Now, I'm giving you Regina's old office Vampire books are so done and I'm having the dusk mobile repainted. (she and Professor Hatecraft drive away)
