75 INT. SPOOKY HOTEL - DAPHNE'S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT Daphne's looking out the window. DAPHNE'S POV Down below, in front of the hotel, N'goo and Mondavarious are arguing. BACK TO SCENE Daphne strains to hear what they're saying, but she can't. There's a knock at the door. DAPHNE: Hold on! As Daphne heads for the door, there's another knock. It's coming from the inside door. She opens it. Hey, it's Fred, holding his toothbrush. FRED: We have adjoining rooms. DAPHNE: I think N'goo's the one we're after. I just saw him arguing with Mondavarious. FRED: Woah. Fairly scary. DAPHNE: Why do you have your toothbrush? FRED: I thought we'd share rooms. In case some brainwashed fanatic tries to capture you. Fred enters. Daphne puts her hand on him, stopping him. DAPHNE: Hey! Freddy, I'm not the same person I used to be. FRED: But you still need comfort, affection. You're still scared. DAPHNE: I was never scared. FRED: What?! DAPHNE: I was pretending, 'cause I was weak-willed and I wanted the attention. Fred scoffs, upset. DAPHNE: Remember when the Cheddar Cheese Ghost captured me? FRED: So? DAPHNE: You think I thought he was real? FRED: You were terrified– DAPHNE: He had cheddar cheese for a head! "Oh, help. Help." And, let me tell you–that wasn't the only thing I faked! FRED: Wh-wh– Slow down! DAPHNE: Forget it, Freddy. I don't want this. I don't need this. And that ascot? It makes you look like a Greek sailor on shore leave. Daphne starts to close the door, but Fred puts his hand on it. FRED: Daph, the truth is, I can't stop pretending that I don't not care. Daphne is perhaps moved a moment... then hides it. DAPHNE: Sorry, I... She closes the door in his face. 76 INT. SPOOKY HOTEL - FRED'S HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT Fred stands in front of the closed door, sadly stroking his ascot. He yells at the door: FRED: Oh yeah?! Well, maybe that... that headband makes you look like a Greek sailor on the shore! Did you ever think of that?! Fred shuts up, realizing he's making no sense at all.
