Oh, yes. I want to
change my life forever.
This sounds too good
to be true.

MURIEL:
Oh, soft.
It's smooth.
Smooth.
No lumps.
Oh, no.
I don't like lumps.
We've got lumps.
We'll send it

My address is--
We know!
We've been waiting for you.
Oh!
No, no, no! Don't do it!
This do not do!

She's here with us.
MURIEL:

[low growling]
MAN: Hello, new friend.
My name is Fred.
The words you hear
are in my head.
I say, I said,
my name is Fred,
and I've been
very naughty.
I can't wait for
that wee lad Fred to arrive.
That freak's not setting
one freaky foot in this house!
FRED: The story I'm
about to tell,
I tell you,
I will tell it well,
is of my dear aunt Muriel
and just how
I've been...naughty.
The freak's a barber,
a freaky barber
with his own
freaky barber shop
where freaky things
happen--
Freaky barber things!
FRED:
Voila, the farm.
My aunt lives here
with precious pup
and husband dear.
My heart b*at fast
as I grew near.
I felt so nice...
and naughty.
[doorbell rings]
Oh, that must be Fred!
[ding dong]
[gulp]
Ooh!
[ding dong]
FRED: I thought just how
excited they must be
that I would come today.
They'd shout, "come, Fred,
hazzah hooray!
Dear boy, you look so...
naughty."
oh, Fred,
me dear nephew.
What brings you to our cozy
corner of the world?
Holiday.
Courage,
come and meet Fred.
Oooh!
FRED, VOICEOVER: That's when my
tired eyes beheld a doggie dog.
Like dog he smelled.
D-o-g is what he spelled,
and that's how I spell...
naughty.
Eeeeee.
EUSTACE: Got to go to
the hardware store
and get the, you know...
fix the bathroom door.
Just don't try shutting it
because you won't be able
to get it open.
Eustace,
our guest is here.
Say hello to Fred.
Yeah.
Ooohhh.
Hiya...
freak.
[panting]
Courage, shush now.
You must be exhausted,
Fred, dear.
Would you like
to freshen up?
Yes. Been quite a trip,
it has.
Show Fred the bathroom,
please, Courage.
No!
Such a fuss.
This rudeness won't do.
Ok. I'll do it,
but I won't like it.
Ok, I'm going...
freak.
Eustace, dear...
could you do me
a favor?
I forgot to give
Fred fresh towels.
Would you
bring him some?
Ew.
You give them
to the freak.
No!
Whoops!
COURAGE:
Oooh!
Heh heh heh heh!
I heard
the door slam.
The door slammed.
Oh.
Ugh! Ugh!
Well, I guess
I better git.
Now,
don't you boys worry.
Eustace will be back soon
to get the door open.
Ooh!
FRED, VOICE-OVER:
Alone was I with tender Courage
and all his fur,
his furry footage,
which, I say,
did enCourage me to be...
quite naughty.
Courage.
Aaoooh!
Your hair...
it reminds me
of the first time
I knew just how
I felt about hair.
VOICE-OVER: It was a
day I do not forget--
the day that I first
met my pet.
Oh, what a lovely gift
to get.
I'd never felt
so...naughty.
My fuzzy friend
is what he was,
this darling little
ball of fuzz.
[clanking]
[razor buzzing]
And oh, such fuzz,
such fuzz, he does demand
that I be naughty.
He looked at me,
his fetching eyes,
and fetching fur
did hypnotize.
I filled with joy,
I filled with sighs,
and that's when I got...
naughty.
[Courage gasping]
Now, now.
You shouldn't play
in the toilet.
Don't worry, boys.
Eustace should be
at the hardware store by now.
[bird squawking]
FRED, VOICE-OVER: This dripping
hair, this droopy curl...
unfurls sweet memories
of a girl
with tresses, oh,
they twist and twirl
and tempt me
to be...naughty.
Barbara
my love was named
and her fair hair,
a mane untamed,
until one evening,
I'm ashamed,
I got a little...
naughty-
[razor buzzing]
The look upon
my young love's face
was sweet and lace,
but in this place,
I realized she...
[turns off razor]
Needed space.
I nevermore was naughty.
Well, maybe not never.
COURAGE:
Ooh!
Playful little scamp.
Eeeeeuuuuh!
Is everything
all right in there?
[Courage howls]
Just can't wait for those
pancakes, can you?
[Courage howls]
Wonderful! Eustace
should be back any moment now.
Aaaah!
[sea gulls crying]
No need for panic.
Behold. Sustenance,
hungry whelp.
[gulp]
[beeping]
[Courage gagging]
FRED, VOICE-OVER: Dear cur,
your fur and fleece remind
of nothing found
in humankind
but for one fellow
who did find me
to be in a certain mood.
Into my shop
he walked one day
with bouche above
and beard bouquet.
That's no toupee, I prayed.
No way!
I could help but be...
you know.
MAN:
Just a trim, pardner.
FRED, VOICE-OVER: I'd never
seen such hair before.
[buzzing]
His bangs, they sang,
his neck, it beckoned.
Eyebrows, armpits--
all were reckoned.
Soon I figured
"what the heck"
and guess how I was...
naughty.
COURAGE:
Ooh!
[music playing
on television]
COURAGE:
Aah!
[gibberish]
[snoring]
[razor buzzing]
Aaoooh!
Sweet pooch, afraid
I'll shave your tail?
Why, now,
that would be weird.
[sirens]
[brakes screech]
MAN:
Surround the area!
Cut the power!
We don't want anyone
getting shaved in there!
So ends
our little story.
What took them
so long?
FRED, VOICE-OVER: But then
my landlords did presume
to free me
from that porcelain tomb
and ferry to a private room,
your hero, ever dotty.
What a lovely visit.
Too bad Eustace
didn't get to say good-bye.
FRED:
Good-bye, dear aunt.
I'll miss your farm and
Eustace's ebullient charm.
And farewell, Courage,
what's the harm
if I was slightly...
naughty?
EUSTACE:
Stupid dog!
Hee hee hee!
