(Mr. Grumpy shines his torch onto his boat. A huge bite mark is shown at the stern of the boat)
Mr. Grumpy: Bit off my propeller last night!
(Mr. Quiet's jaw drops in disbelief)
Mr. Quiet: Oh!
(Mr. Quiet and Mr. Grumpy glare at Mr. Stubborn for his lack of belief)
Mr. Stubborn: The propeller probably fell off.
(Mr. Grumpy turns off his torch)
Mr. Grumpy: I told you, the monster in here and it only comes out at night! Now, are you going to help me catch that thing or what?
(Mr. Stubborn is shown holding a torch)
Mr. Stubborn: I am going to prove you wrong!
(Mr. Quiet realizes that Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy's arguing isn't going to remedy the situation)
Mr. Quiet: Oh, this is a really bad idea.
Mr. Grumpy: Mr. Quiet, start tossing that monster bait into the water.
(Mr. Quiet walks to the edge of the dock)
Mr. Quiet: (groans in disgust)
(Mr. Quiet lifts up the bucket of chum)
Mr. Quiet: Yuck.
(Mr. Quiet drops the fishpoles next to him. The camera cuts back to Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy)

(Mr. Grumpy shines his torch in Mr. Stubborn's face)
Mr. Grumpy: Shine your light on it.
(Mr. Grumpy turns his torch off. Mr. Quiet is shown chumming the water with the monster bait)

Mr. Grumpy: Mr. Quiet!
Mr. Quiet: (whimpers)
Owl (offscreen): (hoots)
Mr. Grumpy: The Swamp Creature won't come out if there's noise.
Mr. Stubborn: It won't come out because it does not exist! This story is made up to keep people out of the swamp at night!
(Mr. Grumpy shines his torch at Mr. Stubborn in frustration)
Mr. Grumpy: I'm telling you, I saw the thing with my own eyes! Right here!
(Mr. Grumpy points down at his fishing boat)
Mr. Grumpy: From my fishing boat!
(Mr. Stubborn shines his torch at Mr. Grumpy. Gurgling is heard in the water as bubbles start forming on the water's surface and start making their way to Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Stubborn: Are you sure you didn't see a frog?
(Mr. Grumpy covers Mr. Stubborn's torch and Mr. Quiet sees the bubbles busting on the water)
Mr. Grumpy (overlap): Yes.
Mr. Quiet (overlap): (whimpers) Oh!
Mr. Stubborn: Or a turtle?
(The camera zooms in closer to Mr. Quiet and the bubbles and gurgling are more noticeable)
Mr. Quiet: (whimpers in fear)
Mr. Grumpy (offscreen): No, it was not a turtle.
(Mr. Quiet turns his head towards Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Stubborn)
Mr. Quiet: Look! Down here!
(Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy fail to hear Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Stubborn: Maybe it was a duck?
(Mr. Stubborn shines his torch at Mr. Grumpy again. This temporarily blinds Mr. Grumpy due to the brightness)
Mr. Grumpy: No! It was not a duck!
(The Swamp Creature starts rising out of the water but only Mr. Quiet sees it)

Mr. Quiet: Uh...
Mr. Grumpy: Swamp creature!
(The bright light from the torch goes away)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...
(The swamp creature rises further out of the water)
Mr. Quiet: No doubt here. This is a monster!
(The Swamp Creature uses its frog-like tongue to eat the entire bucket of chum right out of Mr. Quiet's hands)
Mr. Quiet: Ooh! Uh, someone?
(Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy are too busy arguing to notice)
Mr. Stubborn: Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! FAKE!!!
Mr. Grumpy: Will you stop it!?
(The swamp creature rises further out of the water)
Mr. Quiet: Oh!
Mr. Stubborn: I'll stop when you stop telling stories!
Mr. Quiet: Oh!
Mr. Grumpy: I should have known better than to invite you on this expedition!
Mr. Stubborn: And I should have known better than to accept!
(The camera zooms in on Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Quiet: Um...you too might want to turn around, you know.
(The camera cuts back over to Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy)
Mr. Stubborn: DON'T INTERRUPT ME, MR. QUIET!!! Mr. Grumpy and I are having a discussion!
(Mr. Quiet starts panicking)
Mr. Quiet: (gasps)
Mr. Grumpy: More like a person who's completely right,
Mr. Quiet: Oh!
Mr. Grumpy: Talking to one who's completely wrong!!
(The swamp creature smiles and reaches its giant hand and arm over towards Mr. Stubborn)
Mr. Quiet: (screams)
(Mr. Quiet is paralyzed with fear over what the swamp creature is doing)
Mr. Stubborn: I'm glad you finally see things my way, Mr. Grumpy!
(Mr. Grumpy turns around just as the Swamp Creature grabs Mr. Stubborn by his hair (or rather the two hairs on his head))
Mr. Grumpy (overlap): Oh! Crooked cucumbers!
Mr. Stubborn (overlap): (yelps)
(Mr. Grumpy throws his hat to the ground and the Swamp Creature drags Mr. Stubborn underwater. The latter being witnessed by Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Stubborn: (yelps as he is dragged underwater then starts gurgling under the water)

(Mr. Grumpy looks around for Mr. Stubborn but fails to find him)
Mr. Grumpy: Oh, where'd he go off to? He ran off?

Mr. Grumpy (overlap): (chuckles)
Mr. Quiet (overlap): Um, uh, um...

Mr. Grumpy: Well, let's go home.
Mr. Quiet: No, Mr.-

Mr. Grumpy: All this hooting and hollering must've who scared the monster away!
Mr. Quiet: (screams)
(Mr. Quiet runs to Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Grumpy finally sees the Swamp Creature and, in turn, Mr. Stubborn. Mr. Grumpy jumps up in surprise and fear and he and Mr. Quiet start trembling)
Mr. Grumpy: (screams) M-Mr. Stubborn!
Mr. Quiet: (whimpers)
Mr. Grumpy: I-it's the-the-the-the-the...it's the Swamp Creature!
Mr. Stubborn: I told you, the Swamp Creature does not exist!
Mr. Grumpy: Well then, what is that!?
Mr. Stubborn: This? This is just a giant frog!
(Mr. Bump is shown hanging for his dear life as transition to the next bumper occurs)

(Little Miss Helpful joins Mr. Bump on the top stair leading to the basement and points to the lightbulb. Mr. Bump walks down a few stairs so Little Miss Helpful can come in)
Miss Helpful: It's that bulb right there!
Mr. Bump: Uh-huh. Uh...
(Mr. Bump looks down the stairs)
Mr. Bump: What exactly is down these stairs?
Miss Helpful: Oh, just the basement. You know, cobwebs, big scary spiders, maybe an old rake and a rusty shovel. Now, about that lightbulb. You think you could reach it?
Mr. Bump: I'll give it a try.
(Mr. Bump starts reaching for the lightbulb but he is too small to reach it)
Mr. Bump: (grunts)
(Little Miss Helpful gets an idea)
Miss Helpful: Hey! Maybe if you stand on the handrail? I'll hold you.
Mr. Bump: Uh...well...okay.
(Mr. Bump climbs onto the handrail)
Mr. Bump: Now, hold onto me so I don't fall!
Miss Helpful: Will do!
(Little Miss Helpful grabs onto Mr. Bump's bandages and Mr. Bump tries to reach for the lightbulb but is still too short to reach it)
Mr. Bump: (grunts)
(Little Miss Helpful gets an idea)
Miss Helpful: You know, I bet this would easier with a ladder.
(Little Miss Helpful lets go of Mr. Bump and leaves to get the ladder. Without Little Miss Helpful holding him, Mr. Bump falls off the handrail and tumbles down the stairs into the basement)

(Mr. Bump crash lands into the basement offscreen. Little Miss Helpful looks downstairs with great concern)
Mr. Bump (offscreen): Found your rake!

Miss Helpful: Here's the new lightbulb.
Mr. Bump: Okay.
(Little Miss Helpful hands Mr. Bump the lightbulb and he screws it into the lightbulb socket)
Mr. Bump: (grunts)
(Little Miss Helpful realizes something)
Miss Helpful: Oh wait! That's not the new lightbulb! That's the one that's burned out. I'll go get a new one.
(Little Miss Helpful runs upstairs to get a new lightbulb. Because she lets go of the ladder, the ladder and Mr. Bump end up falling down the stairs into the basement)
Mr. Bump: No! No! Don't!! Don't! Woah! Poopity poop! WAAAAAHHHH!
(Mr. Bump crash lands in the basement and the old lightbulb falls out of the lightbulb socket and breaks on impact)
Mr. Bump (offscreen): Ow! Found your rusty shovel!
(Little Miss Helpful walks back over)
Miss Helpful: Thanks. Mr. Bump. I'll be right back with the lightbulb that works.
(Little Miss Helpful leaves to get the new lightbulb. The scene transitions to sometime later. Mr. Bump in a bucket truck being driven by Little Miss Helpful is holding. Little Miss Helpful navigates Mr. Bump to the empty lightbulb holder)

Mr. Happy then turns off the light and shows the viewers (in the dark) his and his reflection's white smile. Mr. Scatterbrain peeks in from the top of the screen and pulls the next scene up. It is a dance video starring Little Miss Helpful)

Mr. Nervous: Oh!
(Mr. Nervous takes out his flashlight and shines it around)

(Mr. Messy runs back to Mr. Persnickety's front door and starts banging on it)
Mr. Messy: Mr. Persnickety!! LET ME BACK IN!!!
(Mr. Messy continues banging on the door as the screen iris' out to the next bumper. The next bumper shows Mr. Small washing his hands in the bathroom. Once he finishes, he turns off the water and tries reaching for the pull chain that turns off the bathroom light. Mr. Small struggles to reach the pull chain, so he jumps up to reach it. Unfortunately, this results in Mr. Small constantly pulling up and down on the chain as he can no longer reach the ground. This results in the bathroom light going off and on a few times. After the lights go off for the fifth time, the next scene begins. Mr. Quiet, Mr. Stubborn, and Mr. Grumpy are shown on the docks of the Dillydale Swamp in search of a dangerous creature only seen at night. Mr. Quiet is shown holding a bucket of chum and two fishing poles. Mr. Grumpy is holding a flashlight and is keeping his eyes open for the creature)
Mr. Grumpy: It's somewhere in that swamp, gentlemen. The legendary Dillydale Swamp Creature!
Mr. Stubborn: This is a waste of time, Mr. Grumpy! The swamp creature does not exist!
Mr. Grumpy: Well, tell that to my boat!
(Mr. Grumpy shines his flashlight onto his boat. A huge bite mark is shown at the stern of the boat)
Mr. Grumpy: That monster bit off my propeller last night!
(Mr. Quiet's jaw drops in disbelief)
Mr. Stubborn: Your boat...is CHEAP!!
(Mr. Quiet and Mr. Grumpy glare at Mr. Stubborn for his lack of belief)
Mr. Stubborn: The propeller probably fell off.
(Mr. Grumpy turns off his flashlight)
Mr. Grumpy: I told you, the monster in here and it only comes out at night! Now, are you going to help me catch that thing or what?
(Mr. Stubborn is shown holding a flashlight)
Mr. Stubborn: I am going to prove you wrong!
(Mr. Quiet realizes that Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy's arguing isn't going to remedy the situation)
Mr. Quiet: Uh, this is a bad idea.
Mr. Grumpy: Mr. Quiet, start tossing that monster bait into the water.
(Mr. Quiet walks to the edge of the dock)
Mr. Quiet: (groans in disgust)
(Mr. Quiet lifts up the bucket of chum)
Mr. Quiet: Gross.
(Mr. Quiet drops the fishpoles next to him. The camera cuts back to Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy)
Mr. Stubborn: You think this Swamp Creature is going to come out for fish guts?
Mr. Grumpy: Yes. Now if you hear a gurgling sound it means the monster is near. So be ready to...
(Mr. Grumpy shines his flashlight in Mr. Stubborn's face)
Mr. Grumpy: Shine your light on it.
(Mr. Grumpy turns his flashlight off. Mr. Quiet is shown chumming the water with the monster bait)
Mr. Quiet: Oh, that's an awful lot of fish guts.
(Having heard Mr. Quiet, Mr. Grumpy goes over to Mr. Quiet and wraps his arm around him)
Mr. Grumpy: Best not to talk...
Mr. Quiet: (whimpers)
Mr. Grumpy: Mr. Quiet!
Owl (offscreen): (hoots)
Mr. Grumpy: The Swamp Creature won't come out if there's noise.
Mr. Stubborn: It won't come out because it does not exist! This story is made up to keep people out of the swamp at night!
(Mr. Grumpy shines his flashlight at Mr. Stubborn in frustration)
Mr. Grumpy: I'm telling you, I saw the thing with my own eyes! Right here!
(Mr. Grumpy points down at his fishing boat)
Mr. Grumpy: From my fishing boat!
(Mr. Stubborn shines his flashlight at Mr. Grumpy. Gurgling is heard in the water as bubbles start forming on the water's surface and start making their way to Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Stubborn: Are you sure you didn't see a frog?
(Mr. Grumpy covers Mr. Stubborn's flashlight and Mr. Quiet sees the bubbles busting on the water)
Mr. Grumpy (overlap): Yes.
Mr. Quiet (overlap): (whimpers) Woah!
Mr. Stubborn: Or a turtle?
(The camera zooms in closer to Mr. Quiet and the bubbles and gurgling are more noticeable)
Mr. Grumpy (offscreen): No, it was not a turtle.
(Mr. Quiet turns his head towards Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Stubborn)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...over here!
(Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy fail to hear Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Stubborn: Or was it a duck?
(Mr. Stubborn shines his flashlight at Mr. Grumpy again. This temporarily blinds Mr. Grumpy due to the brightness)
Mr. Grumpy: No! It was not a duck!
(The Swamp creature starts rising out of the water but only Mr. Quiet sees it)
Mr. Grumpy (offscreen): It was a swamp creature!
Mr. Quiet: (yelps)
Mr. Grumpy: A scary, giant...
Mr. Quiet: Uh...
Mr. Grumpy: Swamp creature!
(The bright light from the flashlight goes away)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...
(The swamp creature rises further out of the water)
Mr. Quiet: No doubt here. This is a monster!
(The Swamp Creature uses its frog-like tongue to eat the entire bucket of chum right out of Mr. Quiet's hands)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...someone?
(Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy are too busy arguing to notice)
Mr. Stubborn: Fake! Fake! Fake! Fake! FAKE!!!
Mr. Grumpy: Will you stop it!?
(The swamp creature rises further out of the water)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...
Mr. Stubborn: I'll stop when you stop telling stories!
Mr. Quiet: (whimpers) Oh!
Mr. Grumpy: I should have known better than to invite you on this expedition!
Mr. Quiet: Woah! (whimpers)
Mr. Stubborn: And I should have known better than to accept!
(The camera zooms in on Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Quiet: Uh...uh you might want to turn around. (moans)
(The camera cuts back over to Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Grumpy)
Mr. Stubborn: DON'T INTERRUPT, MR. QUIET!!! Mr. Grumpy and I are having a discussion!
(Mr. Quiet starts panicking silently)
Mr. Quiet: Oh! (whimpers and moans)
(The swamp creature smiles and reaches its giant hand and arm over towards Mr. Stubborn. Mr. Quiet is paralyzed with fear over what the swamp creature is doing)
Mr. Grumpy: More like a person who's completely right, talking to one who's completely wrong!!
Mr. Stubborn: I'm glad you finally see things my way, Mr. Grumpy!
(Mr. Grumpy turns around just as the Swamp Creature grabs Mr. Stubborn by his hair (or rather the two hairs on his head))
Mr. Grumpy (overlap): Oh! Crooked cucumbers!
Mr. Stubborn (overlap): (yelps)
(Mr. Grumpy throws his hat to the ground and the Swamp Creature drags Mr. Stubborn underwater. The latter being witnessed by Mr. Quiet)
Mr. Quiet: Uh, nice knowing ya, Mr. Stubborn.
(Mr. Grumpy looks around for Mr. Stubborn but fails to find him)
Mr. Grumpy: Oh, where'd he go off to? He ran off?
Mr. Quiet: No! Uh...
(Mr. Quiet tries to tell Mr. Grumpy what just happened but fails to find the words)
Mr. Grumpy: (chuckles) Figures.
(Mr. Quiet points at the swamp as Mr. Grumpy puts his hat back on)
Mr. Grumpy: Well, let's go home.
Mr. Quiet: Ooh!
(Mr. Grumpy starts leaving when Mr. Quiet and the viewers see Mr. Stubborn sitting on the stomach of the Swamp Creature)
Mr. Grumpy: All this moving and hollering must've who scared the monster away!
Mr. Quiet: (screams)
(Mr. Quiet runs to Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Grumpy finally sees the Swamp Creature and, in turn, Mr. Stubborn. Mr. Grumpy jumps up in surprise and fear and he and Mr. Quiet start trembling)
Mr. Grumpy: M-M-Mr. Stubborn! I-it's the...it's the Swamp Creature!
Mr. Stubborn: I told you, the Swamp Creature does not exist!
Mr. Grumpy: Well then, what is that!?
Mr. Stubborn: This? This is just a big frog!
(Mr. Bump is shown hanging for his dear life as transition to the next bumper occurs)
Mr. Bump: Ahhhh!
(Mr. Scatterbrain is shown making a few funny faces in the bathroom mirror he turns the light off for a moment. When he turns it back on, the Dillydale Swamp Creature (wearing Mr. Scatterbrain's hat) appears in the mirror instead of Mr. Scatterbrain's reflection)
Dillydale Swamp Creature: (growls)
(Mr. Scatterbrain looks at it in confusion before turning the light off again. The scene fades to the ending scene with some previous happenings from the episode. Starting with Little Miss Calamity riding her bicycle with headlights on)
Narrator: All across Dillydale...
(The lightbulb in the bicycle's headlights go out and Little Miss Calamity pedals into a streetlight)
Miss Calamity: Woah!
(The streetlight turns on as Little Miss Calamity crashes into it and falls to the ground. At another streetlight in front of Mr. Bump's house, Mr. Bump is shown fending off the giant spider from Little Miss Helpful's basement with a broom)

(In front of Mr. Persnickety and Mr. Messy's duplex, Mr. Bounce (wearing Little Miss Scary's orange cyclops mask) bounces over Mr. Messy)
Narrator: Who embrace the darkness.
(Over at Mr. Nervous' house, Mr. Nervous is shown waving his flashlight around in fear)
Narrator: While others wish to avoid it.
(At Little Miss Scary's house, the lights are off and it is eerily quiet)
Narrator: And then, there are those...
(The camera zooms in closer to Little Miss Scary's house. As lightning flashes and thunder booms, Little Miss Scary is shown standing inside her house with one of the window on the highest floor open and she is wearing her green, red eyed, fanged mask)
Narrator: Who truly know how to celebrate the dark!
(The screen fades to black)
(The episode ends here)
