Catcher on the Sly

(The camera opens on the backyard of Scooby-Doo and Shaggy's house. A bathtub is put in the center of the yard, as Shaggy is seen carrying Scooby to the tub.)

Shaggy: (to Scooby) "Like, quit stallin', Scoob! Today's bath day, so you might as well relax and enjoy it!"

(Scooby nervously dips one of his toes in the water and chatters nervously from the water's cold temperature. With a mischievous look in Scooby's eye, Scooby wildly spins around Shaggy and is able to hold Shaggy above the tub. He drops him into the tub with a splash. Shaggy sticks his head out of the water and spits some of the water out.)

Shaggy: (coughing, getting out of the tub) "Like, you win, Scoob! Your bath can wait until tomorrow." (He is covered with a coat of bubbles around his entire outfit.)

Scooby-Doo: "R'awww. That's too bad." (chuckles mischievously) 

(Shaggy defeatedly goes back inside their house to dry off. But all the while, a periscope (seen in its lens from its point of view) sets its sight on Scooby. It locks target on him and blinks in a deep red light.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (operating the periscope) "Yeah, too bad for you, puppy." (The periscope is then seen being operated by Buster in his dogcatcher truck, as it is lowers down to the roof.) "Thanks to my Doo Detector, I've got you in my sight!" (lets go of the handle and looks at the camera) "And Buster McMuttMauler always gets his Doo!" (He holds up a picture of Pup-Scooby with a big no symbol put on him.)

(A hatch opens above the ceiling. Buster grabs his dog net and pulls the lever, launching himself into the tub, where it collapses around him and the water (in the shape of the tub) sinks into the grass. Scooby then notices Buster, who spits the water out of his nose.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (disappointed) "Missed."

Scooby-Doo: "Ruh?" (He panics with horns blaring, his nose blinking, and flags waving on top of his head.) "Ruster McRuttRauler! Yikes!" (He splits away from Buster.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (gets up) "You're mine now, Scooby-Doomed." (He chases after Scooby.)

(Soon, Scooby extends his nose and sniffs for any sign of Buster. His nose retracts back to Scooby, as he tiptoes to the side of the house.)

Scooby-Doo: "Where'd he go?"

Buster McMuttMauler: (calls from on the rooftop) "I'm up here..." (holds a safe above Scooby) "Makin' puppy pancakes!" (The camera has panned upward to focus on Buster and his weapons. Buster, cackling madly, throws a large safe at Scooby.)

Scooby-Doo: (yelps, panicking) (He turns into a ballerina, perfectly dancing away from the safe, followed by a piano and a car being thrown at Scooby.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (frustrated, pulling out a ladder) "Oh, he's gettin' me perturbed!" (He crawls down the ladder with his net and, as Scooby poses for a bow, runs up to Scooby and grabs him in the net.) "Gotcha!" (Scooby panics, until a large boulder flattens Buster.)

Scooby-Doo: (waves him goodbye) "Sorry, Buster!" (He darts off, as Buster holds up a "Mercy!" sign."

(Later, Buster sneaks up to Scooby and Shaggy's house, dressed as a mail carrier.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (to the viewers, snickering) "He'll never recognize me in this disguise." (But as he continues to the house, a gang of vicious dogs peek from behind Shaggy's snowman prop. Buster reaches the front door and rings the doorbell.) "Mailman!"

(The dogs attack poor Buster in a cloud of dust and leave like a shot. Buster stands there in his tattered uniform and moans uncomfortably. Scooby then opens the door on cue and snatches a drifting envelope.)

Scooby-Doo: "Roh, boy! It's for me!" (He dives back inside with the letter. Buster holds a "That Hurt!" sign and faints.)

(Later, a fresh, hot pizza with a "Free Peeza!" sign is seen on the backyard. Scooby zips over to the pizza with a napkin around his neck and a pair of silverware.)

Scooby-Doo: "Roh, boy! Rizza!" (Scooby, using his silverware, rapidly scarfs down the pizza, while a large laser cannon pops out of Buster's truck, with Buster at the controls.)

Buster McMuttMauler: "My Doo-molition ray will flatten that little fleabag!" (He pulls both the levers together, and the cannon fires a beam at Scooby, having finished the pizza and licking the platter.)

Scooby-Doo: (chuckles) "I can see myself." (The ray hits the platter's surface and bounces back toward the cannon, disintegrating Buster, the cannon, and the truck in a large pile of dust. He holds up another "Mercy!" sign before turning into dust.)

(Later, Buster has a fishing pole in his hand as he creeps behind the fence.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (snickering, leaning against the fence) "This time, I'll hook that little four-legged flounder for good!"

(Scooby is seen spying on Buster through a pair of binoculars while wearing an army helmet, next to a conveniently placed lawnmower.)

Scooby-Doo: "Rhere's Buster? I know he's here."

Buster McMuttMauler: (cackles) (He casts the fishing line over to the backyard, where it hooks onto the lawnmower's handle. Scooby looks at the fishing line and gets an idea.)

Scooby-Doo: (to the viewers) "I shouldn't, but I will!" (He turns on the lawnmower, which charges across the backyard quickly.)

Buster McMuttMauler: (holding back the fishing line, grunting) "He's as... good as gold!" (He is then yanked over the fence and taken for a ride with the lawnmower carrying him fast across the yard.) "Yiiii!"

(The lawnmower passes under a clothesline. Buster hits the clothesline, which catapults him away. Scooby yelps and jumps up to avoid Buster. At the same time, Shaggy is pushing another bathtub on a wheelbarrow. Scooby splashes into the tub, and Shaggy finally gives him the bath by scrubbing his head. Up in space, Buster continues rocketing above.)

Buster McMuttMauler: "Woah!" (A satellite bumps into him. It holds Buster by his coat, as Buster starts fuming.) "If it takes me forever, I'm gonna get that pup named-"

Scooby-Doo: (arriving in a space shuttle) "Scooby-Dooby-Dooooo!" (He snickers and licks Buster (who grins irritatingly), and they both look at the camera.)
