7 scenes Mavis Johnny, come quick!
[Dracula and Johnny have just burst through the door after hearing Mavis calling them.]
What's up, he's okay?
Mavis Dennis said his first word!
He did?
Mavis [to Dennis]
Come on, honey. Say it again!
Bleh, bleh-bleh.
Mavis We didn't say you did.
Then where did he get that?
Bleh, bleh-bleh.
Mavis Well, maybe sometimes you say it.
I only say it when I say I don't say it!
Bleh, bleh-bleh.
Okay, kid, we get it. You can talk. [softening] Denisovich... [checks Dennis' mouth for fangs]
Mavis Dad...
Just checking for cavities. [hastily leaves the room]
Mavis [imitating her father]
Bleh, bleh-bleh.
Bleh, bleh-bleh.
Mavis [Mavis is singing a lullaby to help Dennis go to sleep.] [to Dennis; singing]
Twinkle twinkle, little star.How I wonder who you are.
Mommy, I'm too old for lullabies.
Mavis This is the way most people sing it.
an a Most people? What's wrong with "Suffer, suffer, scream in pain. Blood is spilling from your brain"?
Mavis Daddy...
Come on. You know how I sang it to you.
Mavis and Drac [singing]
Zombies gnaw you like a plum.Piercing cries and you succumb.
[singing softly]
Suffer, suffer, scream in pain.You will never breathe again.[sees that his lullaby caused his grandson and daughter to fall asleep] Still works.
What's wrong with the classes here, like the kids' yoga?
Green Gill Fish
YOOOGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…!!
This is Denisovich's home.
Mavis I don't know, Dad.
What don't you know?
Mavis Well, we've been talking about moving. Somewhere safer for Dennis. Maybe where Jonathan grew up in California. I'm sorry, but you can't just make somebody something they're not.
[After the Drac Pack returned to the hotel, Drac answers Mavis' video chat request]
So, hey! When are you going to get here already? We've been waiting… [looks up and sees Mavis standing a few feet away, looking angry at him, much to his shock]
Mavis [sternly]
Give me my son.
We just went out for some avocados!
Mommy, I flew!
Mavis I saw. [angrily holds up her smartphone and plays a YouTube clip titled "Dracula Remix" with over 2,000,000 hits. The clip intercuts Dennis falling from the tower with rapid edits of Dracula arguing with Dana to a rhythm track]
[on video]
His mother's already nutsy cuckoo! Nutsy cuckoo! Ah-ooh! Eh-ah-ee-ee! Cuckoo! [As the music continues, he looks shocked, realizing he's busted. Blobby, oblivious, dances to the beat as the video continues.]
Dana
[on video]
Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh-oh-oh my devil. I have to follow protocol.
[on video]
That ain't happening! That ain't happening! His mother's already ah-kee-kee-a cuckoo! Ah-kee-ooh-ah-ee-ah cuckoo! [echoing]
Mavis [The video ends and Drac looks down in shame as Dennis and Mavis embrace.] [to her dad, Drac]
I was worried Dennis wasn't safe around other monsters. Now I don't even feel like he's safe around you.
But I was just–
Mavis What was it you said? "Human, monster, unicorn." That it didn't matter?
Well, I just know his life would–
Mavis We'll have his birthday party here on Wednesday, then we're moving.
Please, Mavey, don't leave.
Mavis [sadly]
Maybe you've let humans into your hotel, Dad, but I don't think you've let them into your heart. [takes Dennis inside the hotel, still worried he would be hurt; Johnny looks down sadly and follows her, leaving Drac]
[After Dennis' 5th birthday party is ruined] [to his son, Dracula]
Hey, what did you just do? A few more seconds and the kid's fangs would have popped right out.
I don't care! It's... it's not worth it!
Mavis What's not worth it?
It was my last attempt to make the boy a vampire so you'd stay.
Mavis By ruining his favorite thing? How could you (made Grandpa Vlad) do that?
We were desperate!
Mavis You were in on this( too)?
Dennis won't be happy in my town.
Mavis (But)
Dennis hasn't been there( yet)!
Erik
[plays organ while singing]
The husband and wife! Hear the strain and the strife–
Drac, Mavis and Johnny
[to Erik]
SHUT UP!
Mavis (Oh, boy…)
Johnny, Dennis is not a monster! [Vlad makes a shocked face] He likes avocado!
'Cause you don't let him eat anything fun!
Linda
I think Dennis just wants to be normal.
Mavis Can we stop using the word, "normal"?
Mavis He is who he is and you can't change him, Dad.
[Dennis runs out of the room, Winnie follows him. Bella watches them from the window. Outside the castle... in the forest...]
Dennis, where are you going?
Away!
But it's not safe out here by ourselves. I know a place where we can hide. Follow me! [they run to a tree house as their secret hiding place]
[Back at the party...]
If you didn't stop me, my great-grandson wouldn't have to be a wimp his whole life, like schlumpy over here. [gestures to Johnny]
"A wimp"!?
Johnny, be cool.
[climbs on the stage, and walks to him]
You wanna throw down, old man?! [does karate move at him] Certified yellow belt since 1997! [takes off his wig, blowing his cover]
No! (Oh, too late…)
What's this now, you're not a vampire?
Mike
Of course he's (a) human. He's our son( in fact). You think we're monsters? [he and Linda wipe off their make-up, revealing their true selves]
[gasps; to Drac]
You! You let your daughter marry a human and have a human kid! Why don't you just put a stake through my heart?!
We don't hate humans anymore and they don't hate us( either).
[the other humans reveal themselves as well] (W-what?) [outraged of this charade]
HUMANS!? [scratches the window, and growls]
You're a fool!
Your great-grandson is the sweetest, kindest, most special boy I've ever met. And if you can't give him the love he deserves because he's half-human, then you're the fool.
Mavis [hugs him lovingly]
Oh, Daddy.
Mavis Dennis?
Honey? Are you okay?
Mavis Yes. It's just a little harder to catch my breath since… I'm pregnant.
Yes, well, I guess that would make it more-- What?! [Mavis removes her wing to reveal her bloated tummy from pregnancy; Drac soars into the air with delight.] I'M GONNA BE A GRANDPA!!!
[climbs onto Dennis’ head]
I just love your yummy strawberry locks! [glomps him] Zing-zing! [Dennis laughs as she licks him]
Wanda
[spraying water at her daughter]
Winnie, give him his space, hon. I'm sorry, Mavis.
Mavis It's okay, Aunt Wanda. They're just playing.
