Casper Page #3

Synopsis: Furious that her late father only willed her his gloomy-looking mansion rather than his millions, Carrigan Crittenden is ready to burn the place to the ground when she discovers a map to a treasure hidden in the house. But when she enters the rickety mansion to seek her claim, she is frightened away by a wicked wave of ghosts. Determined to get her hands on this hidden fortune, she hires afterlife therapist Dr. James Harvey to exorcise the ghosts from the mansion. Harvey and his daughter Kat move in, and soon Kat meets Casper, the ghost of a young boy who's "the friendliest ghost you know." But not so friendly are Casper's uncles--Stretch, Fatso and Stinkie--who are determined to drive all "fleshies" away. Ultimately, it is up to Harvey and Kat to help the ghosts cross over to the other side.

Mom's not a ghost, Dad.

Oh, yes, she is.

She has unfinished business.

There's no such thing

as ghosts.

I'll tell you what. You go

with me this one last time.

If I don't find what

I'm looking for, it's over.

No more moving,

no more ghost mining.

You promise?

I promise.

Deal.

Wow! It's not

so bad, huh?

If you're Stephen King.

Dr. Harvey, hello.

I'm Carrigan Crittenden.

And this is Dibs.

Hello.

I'm a close,

personal friend.

Ah.

And this is my daughter, Kat.

His close,

personal daughter.

- How nice to meet you, Kat.

- Very nice to meet you.

- You have a beautiful daughter.

- Very beautiful.

I can't tell you how happy we

are you could come to Whipstaff.

- Very happy.

- The both of us.

You're kind of

hurting my face.

Sorry. Now, Dr. Harvey,

exactly what time frame

are you looking at?

Tell me you go in the house

and spray and that's it.

Pssssst!

No, no, no.

As with a traditional psychological

cure, it can take weeks or years for...

Excuse me. You didn't just

say the word "years," did you?

It's conceivable.

No, it isn't.

- Days is conceivable. Weeks, maybe.

- Possibly.

- Months? No. Years? Forget it!

- Forget it.

Dibs, check.

Get the bouquet.

Now, Dr. Harvey.

I will be watching you

very closely.

These are for you!

Have a lovely night.

Wow.

It's her. She's here.

She's in my house. I did it!

What if she likes me?

What if she doesn't?

Hi, I'm Casper.

I'm a ghost?

No, that's total disaster. Oh!

Yo, I'm Casper.

So, give me four.

Oh, God,

I'd kill for a pinky.

Huh? See?

That was easy.

Yeah. These should hold for now, but we

ought to get a box of 20 amps in the morning.

Oh, uh,

right, yeah.

Uh, twenties

should be fine.

All right, I'm gonna

go find a room, Dad.

You gonna be

all right alone?

Hey, if I'm not back in ten

days, send a search party.

"Stretch,"

"Fatso"...

and "Stinkie"?

Man, they had cruel parents.

Wonder where

Doc and Dopey sleep.

Dad! I found my room.

There's a girl...

on my bed. Yes!

Hey, space master.

In here.

Oh.

It's very scary.

Have you seen

any surprises yet?

Please. This is

the deadest place yet.

Oh, this is

a nice room.

Yeah, right. This place

is a freak's holiday.

Hi... Ooh! Ooh!

- Oh.

- Oh.

Mom belongs over here.

Hey, how about

if I help you unpack?

Why bother? We'll just be repacking

in two weeks anyway, right?

I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

This place is... fine.

Good. Night, Bucket.

Night, Dad.

We're gonna be glad we came.
