[ suddenly, the two Merry-Go-Brother robots rise again ]
Kelly: Oh, my God!
Jingle: “Ghosts and ghouls and spooky fools will terrify your dreams! You can’t escape the scary fate of a Merryville Halloween!”

[ the robots pull Peter from the ride ]
Kelly: Oh, my God! What do we do? Don’t let them take you!
Peter: I’ll meet you outside!
Kelly: Don’t let them take you!
[ the fourth robot sits next to Kelly ]
Kelly: Oh, my God! oh! [ she smiles ] You know what? I know I should be scared… but you have a very lovable face.
Fourth Merryville Brother: I… get that… a lot! [ his hand reaches over to cup her breast ]
