Fred:

Let’s head out, gang. I think we can build a simple trap with clothes hangers, soap suds, and a weed-eater.

 

Jim:

 

(rolling eyes) That’s not our style, Fred. Let me tell you how it works. Trixie and Honey search for clues. We give them a hard time about being too suspicious. Brian and I throw in a lecture or two, and Mart teases Trixie relentlessly. Trixie usually figures it all out after someone, usually Trixie and or Honey, gets kidnapped.  They are rescued in the nick of time, and we get some type of reward which we donate to charity.

 

Fred:

 

Well, we’ve always found the ‘find clues, set a trap using Shaggy and Scooby as bait, and unmask the bad guy’ method to work.

 

Jim:

 

*getting in Fred’s face*   Well, this isn’t your turf, now is it, Freddie?

 

Fred:

 

*pointing his finger in Jim’s face*  Well, maybe you need a real man to take charge around here and show you the right way to solve a mystery.

 

Jim:

 

*pushing Fred*  Well, maybe you need to take your little ascot and high tail it out of here.

 

Fred:

 

*balling up fist*  Man, you can insult my chick, my wheels, or my dog, but don’t mess with my ascot!  *takes a swing at Jim*

 

Shaggy:

 

Fight! Fight!

 

Dan:

 

(whispering to Mart)  I’ve got $5 on the redhead.
