5 quotesEVIL VILLAIN, YOU WILL NEVER WIN!
I have never said that in my life, "bleh bleh bleh". I do not know where that comes from.
Housekeeping!
But, what? [Johnny: ?] ? [Johnny: ?] ENOUGH, YOU KEEPING AWAY FROM EYEBALL, ENOUGH! [?] Listen to me.
Scenes with Count Dracula
21 scenesOh, it's you. Glad you could make it.
Is she up yet?
Oh, she's up. She's ready to go. And by "go", I mean go. As in, go check the world out. What you gonna do? What you gonna say?
I got it covered. Please, relax. Just do your job. [opens the door] Good morning, Mavey-Wavey! Happy Birthday, my little mouse!
I have so much fun planned! Whoo-hoo! But first, we go catch some scorpions together, just the 2 of us, yes, Dead-ums?
Dad, please let me speak. There's something we have to talk about.
You want to go out into the world. You can.
Aha! I knew you were gonna say that. But, Dad, you gave me your word, you know that I know that a Dracula's word is sacred. That our trust is the core of our… Wait, what?
I said you can go.
You're just playing with me.
No, no, no, no. You're old enough to drive a hearse now, you're old enough to make your own choices. You can go.
Holy rabies, holy rabies! [hugs him, then rushes to the closet and packs her suitcase, turns into bat form and starts to fly out the window]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop. Wait a second, sweet fangs. Where are you going?
Oh, well, I'm going to paradise, and this is just some stuff that I thought I would need.
Paradise?
Yeah, you know. It's the place out there where you and Mom met. Auntie Wanda says you 2 were just like, Zing!
I don't know from Zing. Where did you find that card?
In one of your drawers. Why won't you ever tell me about how you (and Mom) met?
It's actually Hawaii.
Look, honey. I know your excited, but everyone has gone to great lengths to come see you on your birthday.
I know. They always do. [turns back into a bat] Aren't I getting a little old for those parties? I love them, but I really want to see new things. Maybe meet somebody my age. [begins to pout]
Come on. No, no, don't do that. Don't give me the pouty-bat face. Okay, there is a human village just a little ways past the cemetery. You could go there and be back in, like 30 minutes or so. It should be plenty for your first time.
Well, it's not Ha-wee-wee, but I guess it's still technically out there. Okay, okay, okay! [flies back in the window and turns back into human form and hugs her dad] Thanks for trusting me.
Of course, little one. I gave you my word.
Deviled lizard fingers!? I asked for spleens-in-blankets!
You ugly fool! I told you! He doesn't like the lizard fingers!
But you said... [Quasimodo slams the plate on top of his head]
Whoa! Check that costume out! Wow, seriously, I just have to ask - how are you pulling this off? I mean, it looks so real, like I– [reaches his hand through her chest] I could just reach my hand through and... [Skeleton Wife shrieks and slaps him]
What do you think you're doing?!
Uh-- She's... She's real! You're real!
Yeah, and I'll give you a real beating! Keep your hands outta my wife! [shoves Johnny and he bumps into Big Foot, then he looks up to see his face and starts shrieking]
Oh, no! [heads out to find him]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Mavis, honey, are you alright?
Who is what? Oh! Oh, that? That is, uh… nobody.
Yeah, I know. Dracula's daughter. Everybody freaks out at first.
Okay, we gotta go. [quickly takes Johnny away, leaving Mavis completely suspicious. Drac opens the door to his bedroom]
Please, don't kill me! I'm so young! I have so many places I want to see! I've got tickets to 6 Dave Matthews Band concerts! I'm getting out of here! [opens the cellar door and a monster from off screen roars at Johnny potentially to make him scream and forcing him to go back up]
Shut up, already. It's impossible for me to think with all your noise. [opens the cellar door] Sorry, Glen! Go back to sleep! [closes in and Glen roars down the bottom in reply]
Uh, can I just ask, what exactly is this place?
"What is this place?" [goes to the window opens it and speaks in a dramatic manner] It is a place I build for all those monkeys out there lurking in the shadows, hiding from the persecution of human kind. A place for them and their families to come to and free themselves. A place void of torches, pitchforks and angry mobs! A place of peace, relaxation and tranquility.
Cool, so it's like a hotel for monsters?
Yes, exactly. A hotel for monsters. Way to sum it up. Okay, hop on my back. We’re leaving. [turns into a bat]
If I put my hand in the Invisible Man's mouth, would it disappear?
Mavey! Wh-what are you doing, my sweet little blood orange? Our friend was just leaving.
Yeah, he was flying me out the window.
This guy is so funny. [turns into human and moves Johnny away from the window] Oh, look there's something on your face. [to Johnny, in a soft tense tone] Play along if you ever want to see your precious backpack. [Mavis flies in through the window and turns back into her human form]
Whoa. So, wait, you didn't have any clothes on when you were a bat or were they bat-sized?
Honey bat, you see... it's your birthday, and you know, I want you to have the bestest, specialest party of your life, so… well… I... needed some help.
You needed help?
Well, look, I am pretty good, but I thought that it would be even more bestest, specialest if someone closer to your age helped plan the party.
Sure! Uh, well, how old are you?
118.
You see? Everything is very, very normal. I'm throwing a party and he is helping.
So, can I ask you a question? Is that real, about the garlic thing?
Yes, I cannot have it. My throat swells.
Huh. Wooden stake to the heart?
Yeah, well, who wouldn't that kill?
Oh, boy. I think this is it. [opens the door and it shows the Skeleton Wife having a shower]
Ahhh! What happening?
I'm terribly sorry! Uh, my mistake!
What is wrong with you people?! [throws a loofah at Dracula and closes the door]
Oh, man, this place is amazing!
Okay, I could really use some silence right now.
Drac.
Yes, Frankie?
Hey, buddy, what you been doing?
Don't move. [to Frankenstein] Never mind that. What you been doing?
We wanted to practice our big number for Mavis' party, and then these losers wouldn't get off the bandstand.
Okay. Put down Zombie Mozart, Bach and Beethoven this instant. [Frank and Wayne throw them] Did you get to rehearse at all, Zombie Beethoven?
Eh eh eh eh.
Listen, Drac, we wanted to play something, like old times. We even thought maybe you'd sing with us.
Come on, fellas. You know that I haven't sung in public since Martha…
Yeah, but we just thought how much, you know, Mavis would love it.
I said, no! [roars with his monster face] Don't ask me again! Okay. Now, let's hug the zombies. Let's all make up.
I wasn't scared. I was being polite, okay?
Who is that?
Not as long as they think you're a monster.
Huh? That's kinda racist.
We'll talk later.
No, no! Of course not, because he's... [stops Johnny from imitating]
He's your cousin, Johnny-stein.
Yes, yes, yes!
I don't have no cousin.
No, no, you do. He's your 6th cousin, 3 times removed.
Frank, if your arm can talk, it would tell you that the original owner of your arm had a brother...
...Who married a woman...
...Who was... [makes killing gesture]
...For strangling a pig.
I have pig strangling blood in my arm!? That's kinda cool. [to Johnny] Well, Cuz, great to meetcha. [shakes Johnny's hand, but his whole body's shaken multiple times hitting the floor]
Oh, sorry. I should really clear my throat before I speak. (And yes, I am, but... call me "Griffin".) Anyway, what brings you here?
Yes! I've recruited Mister, uh... Stein here to help me with Mavis' birthday party.
Wait a minute. You asked someone to help you?
Captain Control Freak?
It's "Count"… and yes, I thought having a Mavis contemporary would be useful.
Yeah, he totally needed a fresher perspective. [Dracula glares at him]
Okay, Johnny. Mr. Tight Coffin over here was planning to have these powdered lame-o's play at the party.
Whoa! You all play? Let's check you guys out!
Seems like only yesterday, you were eating mosquitos
But now your eating frogs and mice
Tell me, where did the time go, girl?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, guys. Stop. That's cute, but kinda old school.
Yes, thank you, Johnny.
You got to totally tempo things up. Here let me show you. Werewolf man, give me a jam! [Wayne gives him a "jam".] 2, 3, 4! [singing] Vampire girl with the fangy fangsHair real cute with the bangy bangsLittle princess gonna be a queenLegal bat lady turning 118, say 118!
118!
Yeah! Stage dive! [stage dives to the floor] Awesome!
I'm so blown away right now!
I think my cuz is gonna make this the best party ever!
Yeah! Maybe he can find a way to get me some chicks.
We should do a dance contest.
We're not doing any of that! We've got to stay on schedule, alright?
I don't know. Is it cool with Dracula?
Johnny, come with us.
Face the wall. [to the tables] 17 to 48, 16 to 47, 19 to 50.
Awesomeness.
When's that Johnny kid gonna be done party planning? He's a great hang.
Yeah, he's an animal, and it was so nice seeing Mavis laughing and hitting it off with him.
Who's hitting what off? Please! Mavis could never be with... someone of his kind.
I'm sorry. "His kind"? Are you saying our kind's not good enough for you, "your lordship"?
No, no, no! Frank, I didn't... I meant that she wouldn't be into someone with... uh... such, red, curly hair.
Why are you getting upset?
Well, how was I supposed to know that?! [in a later scene; nervous] Look, settle down, fellas. This is all a moot point, because Johnny... He left.
Yes! He decided he didn't like Mavis, or any of us.
Hi…
Hmm. I guess Johnny had second thoughts.
Um, Mavis, I'm crazily scared right now.
How could you, after I shared my pain with you!?
But-- No--
Dad, it was just a kiss.
No, you're not allowed to kiss!
Dad, I'm allowed to do things. I'm not 83 anymore. I'm allowed to like people or go see the world again.
What?! You saw it! You-you said you didn't like it!
Maybe I want to give the village another chance. I need to learn, you know, how to roll with it like Johnny does.
No, no, you can't go to the village again!
Maybe you can make them see that we can be friends.
No, that isn't possible!
Well, you can't be sure. It's all in how you present yourself!
No, that won't make a difference!
How do you know?!
Because it just won't!
Why?! Why won't it?!
BECAUSE THAT VILLAGE DOESN'T REALLY EXIST! (OKAY?!) [the music stops, and Mavis and the other monsters are now in a state of shock; a string on Frank's guitar breaks]
What do you mean... it doesn't exist?
I– [defiantly] I did what I had to do.
I… I built the town, the staff put it all together, the... the zombies dressed up as the townspeople.
Uh-oh. [Mavis heart-brokenly wanders]
Please, i-if you really went out there and something happened to you, I... I just couldn't live with myself!
But you could live with this - lying to me, tricking me, keeping me here forever when you knew my dream was to go?
Liar, liar!
Uh-uh-uh! [muffled speech; translation - "Dracula has brought a human into the hotel!"]
English please. Your voice is really annoying.
Wait, I speak frozen. He says Dracula has brought a human into the hotel.
A human?
Stay close, Pookie.
He says "There is ze human!". He has a French accent.
Johnny's not a human, he's my right arm's cousin. [glares at Quasi] He's lying!
Yeah, and why is he picking his nose?
He says it's a long story.
Hey! Wait! No! Get off me! Ah! Ew! [Esmeralda squeaks as she wipes away Johnny's make-up, completely blowing his cover.] (Oh, boy…)
He says "Behold ze human!".
Is it true? Are you a human?
Yes… I'm so sorry…
Uh... Well, tough! 'Cause I don't want to be with you, because... you're a monster! [Mavis gasps] And I hate monsters! [heads to the door] Goodbye! [as he leaves, he scares Murray by trying to give him a Bruce Lee kick]
Please, don't hurt me!
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! [turns into a bat and flees the room, leaving Drac to feel bad about her]
We're getting outta here!
I am never coming back here!
"Human-free"!? What a rip!
I thought I smelt a human.
Oh, yeah, ice machine? Also broken!
Two lonely bats crashed in the night…They felt a Zing, love at first sight.They knew right then, they would be husband and wife.For a Zing only happens once in your life.Your Zing will come, my love… Cherish it.Love, Mommy.
You and Johnny?
I guess it was only me, but you should be happy, Dad. There's no reason for me to leave. I have no more dreams. I'm just like you now.
I think... they zinged.
They zinged!?
But I got in the way.
You only zing once in your life. [begins to cry]
Oy. Now, you're short-circuiting.
Sit! [holds up Johnny's shirt] Smell. I said, smell. [2 pups smell his butt] Not me, the shirt! The shirt!
Do any of your kids still respect you?
Mm. Give me a second. Oh, yeah. Winnie, front and center!
He got into a car - an '86 Fiat. It needs a little transmission work, but otherwise, okay. It drove through town to the airport, flight 497… 8:00 a.m. departure.
That's in 15 minutes!
Seat 23A. He ordered the vegetarian meal.
Okay. Thank you, cutie. (We'll take it from here, alright?) [to all the other wolf pups] Now, all of you, go back to your mother!
Sheep!
Whoo! High-5! Don't leave me hangin'.
Aah! [Griffin stops the car]
Lots of sheep!
I got this one! [gets out of the car, devours the whole flock of sheep in 2 seconds, then comes back in the car, belching a tuft of wool out; The others, looking horrified at the sight, give Wayne a disgusted glare] What? Now there's no sheep in the road. Let's go!
You eat lamb chops, it's the same thing! We don't have time for this! Come on, let's move it! [they all drive off]
They like us, really?
Excuse me. Do you know the best way to the airport?
Yes, fellow Dracula, there is only one way. Bleh, bleh-bleh. [points straight ahead to the road the crowd is on]
But it's all blocked! We'll never make it in time!
You should have left an hour earlier. Bleh, bleh-bleh.
I do not say "bleh, bleh-bleh"!
"Bleh, bleh-bleh!"
Imagine if that guy was talking to the real Drac(ula), he'd run for the hills!
Hold it now. Hold it now! That sounds spot-on! Well, the only way they'd know the real us is if we show the real us!
This could work.
You mean scare 'em? We haven't scared people in centuries. I don't even think I have it in me anymore! [practices roaring but ends up weakening his voice] I got nothing, I really got nothing.
Let's just move this along. [ignites a match and sets it between Frank's eyes]
I'm trying to scare you! The real Frankenstein!
Jonathan! Jonathan, can you hear me?! [sees a Twilight movie on the plane]
Tell me, do you dream of being a vampire?
This is how we're represented. Unbelievable. Jonathan! Jonathan, can you hear me?!
I am sorry!
Huh? Dracula… [on Drac's side] I can't understand you!
What, "my hand's in a tan shoe"?
What, "Japan's eating lamb stew"? [Drac slumps his shoulders and makes an irritated look. This isn't working.] Hey, do you know you're smoking? [Drac flies into the plane's windshield to make an announcement for Johnny]
What the heck? How'd a bat get up this high? Folks, I'm gonna turn on the seat belt sign just a precaution while we–[[Drac uses his magic powers to tell the pilot that he wants to take over his voice] While we hear a special announcement for my dear friend, Jonathan.
Dracula?
Pilot (Dracula): My dear boy, I have made a terrible mistake. I was trying to keep my baby to myself, because I knew I would always protect her… but I realize now children need to discover things for themselves. They'll stumble and fall, laugh and cry, but such is life. The truth is... you and Mavis are meant to be. You zinged! If she must give her trust to someone else, I'm thankful that it is you, Jonathan. I hope you can hear me, and forgive me.
AAAHHHHH! [Jonathan sees Dracula outside the window also, and gives him a smile and a thumbs up to show his acceptance of Dracula's apology; Drac smiles also]
Pilot (Drac): Okay, folks, we're going to make a quick turnaround to... refuel, and then we will be back on our way. [the crowd groans angrily] Quit your whining! I'm burning up out here!
You know, Mommy already gave you her birthday present. Can I now give you mine? [shows Mavis a black and pink backpack with the hotel's logo on it]
Oh, it comes with an accessory. [turns the backpack and reveals a smiling Johnny]
You.
Why are you back?
'Cause you're my zing, Mavis. (And will you marry me?)
Yeah, well, I was afraid your dad was going to suck all the blood out of my body if I didn't say that. (So, that's why I said I hated monsters.)
I wouldn't have! I– [defeated] No, he's right. I would've done that.
Dad!
Can we try that kiss over again?
Sorry! I– I just... I gotta get use to that. Now go. Do... do your thing. [hastily leaves as Mavis and Johnny make their best kiss]
Ending: Zing Song[edit]
I thought I found a loveBut she was just a flingAnd then I met a girlAnd felt a different thingIt's like you're hit in the ringLike you're pulled by a stringCan't breathe like you're chokingOn a chicken wingIt was a thing called a ZingAnd I wanted to singAnd listen to the balladsOf the man named StingLady looks in your eyesAnd it suddenly springLike when Nala looked at SimbaIn the Lion King
Zinging in the airAnd I don't have a careI'm winging from the zingThat we shared
Zinging in the rainNow I'm feeling no pain
It's a real time for celebrating
'Cause you're my Zing
Drac, ready to throw down?
No, no. I just came closer to hear you better.
Oh, come on, just give it a try!
Alright, maybe just a little bit. [starts to rap] So listen all you zingers from here to BeijingYou better grab a box of strings and get ready to cling cause if love was money, you'd better be yelling "cha - ching",'Cause next to Zing, cupid's arrow's
A little bee sting!
It was a Zing and a Zang and a Zingidy-deeAnd there was only one ladyIn the Zing for me cause when you Zing
When you Zing
You better know one little thing the only bling you're gonna sling
Is a wedding ring!
Zinging in the air
Now I don't have a careI'm winging from the ZingThat we sharedZinging in the rainNow I'm feeling no pain [unfroze his friends and Mavis again]
It's a real time for celebrating'Cause you're my Zing
Feel the Zing, y'allBa-da bring, y'allGonna knock you right outta that ring, y'allBetter bring, y'allHappening, y'allPay attention to the undead king, y'allHO HOHO HOHO HOHO HO
HO HOHO HOHO HOHO HOHO HO
Okay, okay, where am I going?
The human world, before Johnny's gone forever.
But what about the sun?
I don't know. I'll just have to roll.
He just rolls. Rollabilty.
So we follow his boot-prints. When they run out, that's where you come in, Wayne.
There! [picks up Johnny's shirt from the ground and smells it; disgusted] That stinks! [gives the shirt to Wayne] (Here, Wayne.) Work your magic.
Wait, you want me to track the smell? No, no. My sniffing tracking days are way behind me. Do you know how many diapers I've changed? How many number twos have destroyed this thing? But… [whistles and summons his werewolf kids to come to them; trying to get them under control while they roughhouse] Sit! [takes Johnny's shirt from Drac's hand and holds it up] Smell. I said, smell. [Two pups come up behind him and smell his butt.] Not me, the shirt! The shirt!
Do any of your kids still respect you?
Mm. Give me a second. Oh, yeah. Winnie, front and center!
He got into a car, an '86 Fiat. It needs a little transmission work, but otherwise, okay. It drove through town to the airport. Flight 497. 8:00 a.m. departure.
That's in 15 minutes!
Seat 23A. He ordered the vegetarian meal.
Okay. Thank you, cutie. [to all the other wolf pups] Now, all of you, go back to your mother!
