Daphne, Fred and others in “Unfinished Business”

Daphne

Fred! You saved me!

Not right now, Daphne. I have to figure out why my trap didn't work.

Sheriff Stone

What is going on here?

Mayor Jones

Why is the town's latest tourist attraction cocooned to the wall?

Dad, Sheriff, hold on. You don't understand. That is not a monster.

Mayor Jones

Oh, hopping steamed clams, Fred. Then who is it?

Franklin Fruitmeir.

Velma

He was trying to rob Crystal Cove bank.

Sheriff Stone

Uhh, that's impossible. Franklin Fruitmeir's the one who called us. (Franklin arrives)

What?

I was making a clipper ship out of circus balloons when the silent alarm rang at my home. Oh, good gracious! What is that?

Shaggy

But if the monster isn't Franklin Fruitmeir, then, dude, who is it?

Professor Emmanuel Raffalo?

Emmanuel

That's right. I was trying to scare people away from the sewers while I dug my way into the bank and got rich.

Daphne

But you've got a job as a teacher. Why do you need more money?

Daphne

Yeah, my bad.

Oh, yeah, right.

Shaggy

You're really getting ripped off.

Emmanuel

I discovered that the Crystal Cove caves were connected to the sewer by accident while collecting mold spores for my class. Once I realized the cave led right under the bank, I put my plan into motion. Fruitmeier's gave me secret access to the sewer, so I decided to frame balloon boy for the crime by using his disgusting dessert. I staged my own disappearance to throw doubt on any hint of my involvement. Oh, it was foolproof, genius. That is, until you... you...

Sheriff Stone

Meddling.

Emmanuel

Meddling! Yes, meddling kids and your blasted dog ruined everything.

Daphne

Wait. (shows the locket) What about this locket we found where you were digging? (Mayor Jones is angrier and shocked when he saw the locket)

Emmanuel

Never seen it before.

Sheriff Stone

Alright. Well, guess we owe you kids thanks. You did save the bank. Although you also lost the town a serious revenue stream. Stream of revenue!!!
