He was stealing this wheel of old cheese.
Now let's see who the Hodag really is.
(Shaggy opens the cage and Velma unmasks Hodag)
Roberto!
Where's my Nova?
Hold on. (unmasks Roberto's face)
A monkey?
(heard in the balcony holding Nova over the edge) That's right. My monkey. Nobody moves or the dog gets it.
Nova!
Mr. Fussbuster, please, don't hurt Nova. Why are you doing this?
It all started back when I was a sailor working the trade boats in Indonesia. I learned you could train a monkey to steal. So that's just what I did. I trained Roberto using bells and used him to build up my fortune. When I rang a bell, he would start taking valuable objects. But he became bell crazy, started stealing bells, too. It drove me insane, all of those bells! And he not only brought home the bells, but whatever were attached to them. You don't know how many cats and cows and hunchbacks he brought home with him! But it was all worth it, as we were just about to steal the 500-year-old cheese you have in your hand.
500-year-old cheese?
Yes. It was made right here in Crystal Cove by a master Spanish cheesemaker. It's priceless. And with its theft, I could have finally retired to the Netherlands, where they really enjoy cheese properly.
But why the Hodag?
Shepherd's security was unbreakable. I needed the key. Seemed the best way to get it. Now, toss the cheese up here and she won't get hurt. (Nova is whimpering)
(growling, grabs the cheese) Here, Fussbuster. Fetch!
(Scooby throws the cheese to Fussbuster, Fussbuster tried to steal it but falls down to grass, and Scooby saves Nova)
(Next scene in the police car with Fussbuster and Roberto ringing the bell)
(groaning) And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for those bells. The bells! The bells! (crying)
