Quotes

Shaggy: It was, like, nighttime in Coolsville, and at my house it was time to share a little late night snack with my pal, a pup named Scooby-Doo. Shaggy: (walks into the livingroom with a gigantic tub of popcorn) Like, care for some popcorn, Scoob? Scooby: (excited) Reah, reah, reah, reah, reah, reah! (sucks the popcorn up like a vacuum) Shaggy: (looks inside and tips the tub upside down to reveal one left) Like, you missed one Scoob. Scooby: (sucks the last one up again like vacuum) No I didn't. (laughing) He, he, he, he, he.

Mr. Williams: Sorry I had to sneak up on you kids. I was just following the trail of the monster. Mr. Buckston: Yes, and he would've taken the blame if it weren't for these pesky kids. Shaggy: Like, yeah, and a pup named... Scooby: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
