BLUEBELLS.

BLUEBELLS?

A MANFUL PURSUIT
FOR A CANTERVILLE

IN THE HUNTING SEASON?

MORE MANFUL THAN YOU WOULD

WITHIN THE HOUR.

ANTHONY!

THOU WOULDST NOT

WERE I POSSESSED
OF MY GOOD RIGHT ARM.

HA HA HA!

A PRETTY EXCUSE
TO SNIVEL OUT OF IT.

SIMON!

MY BROTHER WILL
GIVE THEE SATISFACTION.

SIMON, THE HONOR
OF THE CANTERVILLES

HAS BEEN QUESTIONED.

WHAT?

WHEREFORE DOST THY DAGGER
REEK WITH HIS BLOOD?

MY SWORD ARM IS PIERCED
TO THE BONE.

TAKE THOU MY SIGNET RING
AND FIGHT IN MY STEAD.

WHO? ME?

WHO ELSE?

COME, COME, SIMON,

PICK UP THE GAUNTLET
AND FLING IT IN HIS FACE.

WHOSE FACE?

SIR VALENTINE'S.

OH.

GIVE ME THY RING.

BUT 'TWAS ANTHONY
WHO RAN OFF WITH MY BETROTHED.

HE DANCED.

HE SHOULD PAY
THE PIPER.

A CANTERVILLE
HAS BEEN SLIGHTED.

AND BY ONE
OF AN UPSTART BROOD,

HONORED SCARCE
200 YEARS.

I CHOOSE THE WEAPON
OF CHIVALRY-

THE LANCE.

THE LANCE?

YEA.

I'LL TEACH THEE
A KINSMAN IS A KINSMAN.

WHAT KEEPS
THE POPINJAY?

MY GAUNTLETS,
DUNDERHEAD.

LIKE A CAPON ON A SPIT.

THERE HE IS, SIR.

HMM?

AYE! HARPOON HIM!

HOIST HIM HIGH!

POLTROON!

I TELL THEE

AND SUCH
A CHIVALROUS BROTHER.

I RECALL THE DAY I WORE
MY BROTHER EDWARD'S SIGNET

BEFORE GOOD QUEEN BESS.

UNHORSED SIX MEN IN A SINGLE
HOUR IN THIS VERY ARMOR.

BY SAINT PETER
OF THE FETTERS.

SIMON MUST GO A LONG WAY
TO EXCEL THAT!

WHERE IS HE?

WHO?

THAT LILY-LIVERED
SON OF YOURS

WHO SKITTERED OFF
IN TERROR BEFORE THE LANCE.

COWARDICE? IN ONE
WHO BEARS ON HIS NECK

THE BIRTHMARK OF THE
CANTERVILLES? HA! PREPOSTEROUS!

OOH, IS IT?

HA HA!

THEN WHAT MIGHT BE LURKING
IN YON ALCOVE?

A FAT QUAIL, PERCHANCE?

NO SON OF MINE
COWERS IN ANY ALCOVE.

NO? THEN MILORD

CAN ASSUREDLY
HAVE NO OBJECTION

TO THE SEALING UP
OF THE DOOR

WITH
STONE AND MORTAR.

I MOST CERTAINLY CAN!

I'VE TOO GREAT A REGARD
FOR MY HOUSE.

FOR YOUR HOUSE,
MILORD,

OR YOUR SON?

GILES, THOMAS!
FETCH THE STONEMASONS!

HASTEN!

HAVE WE NOT HAD ENOUGH

OF THIS PLAY-ACTING,
SIR VALENTINE?

ONE NEVER LEAVES
THE THEATER, MILORD,

UNTIL THE CURTAIN
HAS FALLEN.

AH!

FATHER!

IT IS I,
THY SON.

FORSOOTH,
A FAT QUAIL INDEED.

OR WAS IT THE WIND THAT
WHISTLED DOWN THE FLUE?

I HEARD NO SOUND.

SPARE ME! SPARE ME!

POSE THE LAST STONE.

POSE IT, I SAY!

BUT, MILORD,

'TWAS MEANT
ONLY IN JEST.

LEAVE MY HOUSE!

IT IS THY SON!

GO!

SIMON DE CANTERVILLE,

BECAUSE THOU HAST
SHAMED THY HERITAGE

AND DISHONORED
THY PROUD BLOOD,

IN THAT TOMB
OF THINE OWN CHOOSING

SHALL LIE
THY WHITED BONES,

AND MAY THY CRAVEN SPIRIT

WALK THE HALLS
OF CANTERVILLE CASTLE

UNTIL A KINSMAN
SHALL WEAR THY SIGNET...

AND PERFORM FOR THEE

THE BRAVE DEED
THOU DIDST FAIL TO PERFORM

FOR THY KINSMAN.

"THUS GOES THE LEGEND
OF THE CANTERVILLE GHOST.

"AND TODAY,
AFTER 300 YEARS OF TERROR,

"CANTERVILLE CASTLE STANDS
SILENT AND DESERTED-

"A MUTE, FOREBODING MONUMENT
TO THE FEARSOME PHANTOM

WHO STALKS
THOSE SILENT HALLS."

AAH! AAH!

AUNTIE! AUNTIE!

I JUST SAW
THE GHOST!

THE GHOST? WHERE?

ON THE ROOF
OF THE CASTLE.

OH, THAT WAS
THE TINSMITH, DARLING.

OH!

I ASKED MR. PEABODY
TO ENGAGE HIM

TO MEND
THE WATERSPOUTS.

OH. BUT WHY, AUNTIE?
NOBODY LIVES THERE.

JESSICA, WE'RE TURNING
THE CASTLE OVER

TO A PLATOON
OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS?

BUT, GOOD GRACIOUS,

CAN THEY LIVE IN THE
CASTLE WHEN IT'S HAUNTED?

YOUR FAMILY DID, DARLING,
TILL 20 YEARS AGO.

I KNOW,
BUT, AUNTIE-

AHEM!

WE'RE READY
TO LEAVE NOW, MA'AM.

THE HELPERS
HAVE ARRIVED?

THEY'LL MEET US
AT THE CASTLE, MA'AM.

YOU'RE GOING,
AUNTIE?

OF COURSE.
GUESTS ARE COMING.

NOBLESSE OBLIGE.

MADAME, THERE'S SURE
TO BE A DOWNPOUR.

I'M AFRAID
THERE WILL BE.

YOU KNOW,
AUNTIE,

YOU'RE NOT WELL.

OH, VERY WELL.

EXTEND MY REGRETS
TO THE SOLDIERS

AND TELL THEM
I'LL COME TO SEE THEM

AS SOON AS I'M ABLE.

YES, MA'AM.

AUNTIE,
WHAT DOES IT MEAN-

NOBLESSE OBLIGE?

OH, THAT'S JUST
AN EXPRESSION, DARLING.

BUT WHAT
DOES IT MEAN?

YOU WERE GOING OUT
BECAUSE OF IT.

NOBLESSE OBLIGE
IS FRENCH.

IT MEANS-WELL, YOU'RE
LADY JESSICA DE CANTERVILLE,

AND I'M THE HONORABLE
MRS. POLVERDINE.

THOSE OF US WHO ARE NOBLY BORN
MUST PROVE THEMSELVES WORTHY OF IT

BY BEING EVER KIND
AND GRACIOUS

AND THOUGHTFUL
FOR OTHERS,

AND BY LIVING
NOT TO TAKE,

BUT TO GIVE.

THAT IS OUR OBLIGATION.

SO, WHEN GUESTS ARRIVE,
WHY, WE MUST WELCOME THEM

AND SEE THAT THEY ENJOY
THEIR STAY WITH US.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND,
CHILD?

YES.

AUNTIE, THESE AMERICANS,

WILL THEY BE
COWBOYS AND INDIANS?

SOME OF THEM,
I DARE SAY.

AUNTIE, WHAT DOES ONE DO
TO MAKE INDIANS WELCOME?

JESSICA! YOU'RE NOT
THINKING OF GOING.

YES. SOMEONE SHOULD
MAKE OUR GUESTS WELCOME.

BUT AREN'T YOU
AFRAID OF THE GHOST?

YES, AUNTIE.

AND YOU STILL THINK
YOU OUGHT TO GO?

YES, AUNTIE. IT IS
MY CASTLE, ISN'T IT?

YOU'RE ONLY 6,
DARLING.

I KNOW, BUT, AUNTIE,

NOBLESSE OBLIGE.

IT-IT STARTS WHEN
YOU'RE BORN, DOESN'T IT?

RUN ALONG, THEN.

THANK YOU, AUNTIE.

OH!

STAY CLOSE
TO MRS. UMNEY.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT ME, AUNTIE.

GHOSTS ALMOST NEVER
COME OUT IN THE DAYTIME.

OK, EVERYBODY,
WE'RE MOVING IN!

WELCOME TO CANTERVILLE
CASTLE, GENTLEMEN.

THANK YOU.

HELLO, MISTER.

SOME SPREAD.

PLEASED TO MEET YOU.

WHAT A PLACE!

HELLO.

HIYA,
MR. CANTERVILLE.

WHY-

WOW! PIPE THE GUY
IN THE TIN SUIT.

HEY, THIS IS OK.

YOU AIN'T KIDDIN'.

SAY, ALL THIS ROOM
IN ONE ROOM.

YODEL-LEI-HEE!

WONDER WHEN
THE TRAINS COME IN.

HEY, THIS PLACE
KIND OF REMINDS ME

OF THE OLD MANHATTAN
BOXING ARENA.

HOW WOULD YOU KNOW,
SLAP-HAPPY?

THE ONLY THING
YOU SAW IN THE AREA

WAS THE CEILING WHEN
THEY CARRIED YOU OUT.

WELL,

NOT BAD.

NOT HALF BAD,
BY JOVE.

PUP TENTS ARE OK
FOR THE HOI POLLOI.

ME, I PREFER THE COMFORTS
OF THE HEARTH.

YES, SIR, WITHOUT THE SIMPLE
LUXURIES OF LIFE-

A COMFORTABLE CHAIR, A CHEERY
BLAZE, AND A SPOT OF BRANDY,

I SIMPLY WILT AWAY
AND PERISH.

TAKE YOUR BIG FEET
OFF OF THERE, WILLIAMS,

OR I'LL PERISH YOU.

GET A GOOD NIGHT'S
SLEEP, MEN.

YOU'LL NEED IT.

YOU WANT ME, MR. PEABODY, I'LL
BE AT HEADQUARTERS IN THE VILLAGE.

YES, SIR, CAPTAIN.

GOOD NIGHT.

ATTENTION!

REMEMBER, SERGEANT,
THIS IS NOT OUR PROPERTY.

YES, SIR.

CARRY ON.

WILLIAMS, YOU DON'T
DO THAT AT HOME, DO YOU?

YEAH.

WELL, DON'T DO IT HERE!

I BEG
YOUR PARDON.

SHALL I SERVE TEA
NOW, GENTLEMEN?

TEA?

MRS. UMNEY THOUGHT
AFTER YOUR JOURNEY

YOU'D BE A BIT DONE IN.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.
THANKS.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

NOW, LISTEN,
FELLAS.

IT SAYS HERE IN THE LITTLE
INSTRUCTION BOOK,

"WHEN YOU'RE GUESTS
OF THE BRITISH,

"YOU GOTTA ACT LIKE
YOU'D EXPECT THEM TO ACT

IF THEY CAME TO AMERICA."

REMEMBER WHAT IT SAYS
ABOUT FOOD.

HERE.

"IF A BRITISHER
EXHORTS YOU TO EAT

"OR JOIN HIM IN A SPOT OF TEA,
GO EASY.

"IT MAY BE HIS RATION
FOR ONE WEEK,

SPREAD OUT JUST TO SHOW YOU
HIS HOSPITALITY."

EXCUSE ME, GENTLEMEN,

BUT LADY JESSICA WOULD LIKE
TO SAY GOOD EVENING.

LADY JESSICA?

OH, BOY!

YES. LADY JESSICA
DE CANTERVILLE,

THE OWNER
OF THE CASTLE.

WELL, UH, TELL HER
WE'D BE HONORED.

VERY GOOD, SIR.

WHAT DO YOU SAY
TO A DAME THAT'S A LADY?

DO YOU HAVE TO
KISS HER HAND?

NOW, WATCH IT.

LADY JESSICA
DE CANTERVILLE.

GOOD EVENING,
GENTLEMEN.

HOLY SMOKE!
IT'S A MIDGET.

NO. IT'S A HALF-PINT.

HOW DO YOU DO?

I KNOW YOU'VE
COME A LONG WAY,

AND I WANT YOU
ALL TO KNOW

I'M GLAD
YOU'RE HERE.

AND I DO SO HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY YOUR STAY

IN MY CASTLE.

THANK YOU,
MY LADY,

AND MAY I SAY ON
BEHALF OF MY COMPATRIOTS

THAT WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL
FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY.

YEAH, LIKEWISE.

YOU'RE OK,
YOUR MAJESTY.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN.

YOU'LL EXCUSE
THE FELLAS, I HOPE.

WE THOUGHT LADY JESSICA
WAS, UH-

I THOUGHT A GIRL HAD TO BE
MARRIED BEFORE SHE WAS A LADY.

HA HA HA!

OH, DEAR, NO.

A LADY IS A LADY
WHEN SHE BEHAVES LIKE ONE,

MY AUNTIE SAYS.

YOUR AUNTIE
IS QUITE RIGHT.

WHICH OF YOU
ARE INDIANS?

HA HA HA!

HE'S AN INDIAN.

YES? TO WHICH TRIBE
DO YOU BELONG?

HE'S
A HOBOKEN INDIAN.

I DON'T BELIEVE I'VE EVER READ
ABOUT THAT TRIBE.

HA HA HA HA.

TEA IS SERVED,
GENTLEMEN.

OF COURSE.
OF COURSE.

WILL YOU POUR,
MY LADY?

I WILL BE HAPPY TO.

FINE.
THIS WAY, GENTLEMEN.

MORE TEA?

NO, THANK YOU.
NO, THANK YOU.

WHO DID THAT?

WHO DID IT?

THAT'S NOT TEA,
SIR.

OH, IT ISN'T?

JORDAN, GET THAT BOTTLE OF
CLEANING FLUID OUT OF THE TRUCK.

OK.

IT'S NO USE,
SIR.

NOTHING WILL
TAKE IT OUT.

WHAT MADE THAT SPOT
WAS... BLOOD.

BLOOD?
BLOOD?

BLOOD.

BLOOD?

QUITE SO.

THAT'S THE BLOOD
OF LADY BARBARA MODISH,

WHO STABBED HERSELF
IN THE THROAT

WHEN SHE SAW... HIM.

HIM?

WHO-WHO IS HIM?

SIR SIMON.
OUR GHOST.

OH.

YOUR GHOST,
DID YOU SAY?

YES. HE'S QUITE THE MOST
FAMOUS GHOST IN ENGLAND,

AND HE LIVES HERE
IN THIS CASTLE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

TAKE IT EASY.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T
WANT ME TO TELL YOU-

OH, BUT WE DO.

GIVE THE LADY
A CHANCE, FELLAS.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT SAYS IN THE LITTLE
BOOK ABOUT RESPECTING ENGLISH TRADITION.

WELL, IF SHE SAYS
THE CASTLE IS HAUNTED,

WHO ARE WE TO QUIBBLE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

IT MAY SOUND
SILLY TO YOU,

BUT AUNTIE TOLD ME
THE SPOT WON'T COME OUT.

REALLY.

AND I'VE EVEN SEEN
THE GHOST MYSELF.

NO FOOLING?

AND THAT'S THE DOOR
TO HIS BEDCHAMBER

BEHIND
THAT TAPESTRY,

ISN'T IT,
MRS. UMNEY?

YES. HE WAS WALLED UP IN THERE
CENTURIES AGO.

HOLY CATFISH!

THAT'S
AWFUL.

YES, AND EVERY
NIGHT NOW,

ON THE STROKE OF 12:00,

HIS GUILTY SPIRIT
COMES THROUGH THAT DOOR

AND WALKS THE HALLS, SUPPOSEDLY
IN SEARCH OF A KINSMAN,

THEN GOES BACK AGAIN.

OH.
NO KIDDING.

OH, GENTLEMEN,
BEWARE.

I'VE SEEN THINGS
WITH MY OWN EYES

THAT WOULD MAKE
ANY CHRISTIAN'S HAIR

STAND ON END.

I'LL BET
YOU HAVE.

I'VE READ ALL
ABOUT IT

IN A BIG BOOK AUNTIE'S
GOT IN THE GATEHOUSE.

I SHOULDN'T TELL YOU THIS
BEFORE BEDTIME,

BUT THE DOWAGER DUCHESS
OF STUTFIELD

WAS FOUND ONE NIGHT

ON THE BALCONY
OUTSIDE HER BEDROOM,

STARK STARING MAD.

THERE'S THE LOVELIEST
PICTURE OF HER

GIBBERING LIKE AN IDIOT.

HA HA HA!

YOU DON'T SAY!

YES.

SHE WAS PUTTING ON
HER DIAMOND LAVALIERE

WHEN A SHADOW
CAME OVER HER.

SHE TURNED,
AND THERE WAS THE GHOST

AS THE CORPSE SNATCHER
OF CHERTSAY BARN.

CORPSE SNATCHER?

THAT'S AWFUL.

AND LADY MARGARET BILTON,

SHE DROWNED HERSELF
IN THE CARP POND.

DO YOU KNOW WHY?

NO. WHY?

BECAUSE THERE
HE WAS AGAIN,

COMING AFTER HER

WITH LONG, GREEN FINGERS
TWITCHING WITH PALSY

AND HIS EYES
BURNING LIKE COALS-

THE BLOODSUCKER
OF BEXLEY MOOR.

BLOODSUCKER?

DIDN'T I TELL YOU, FELLOWS?
WHO ARE WE TO QUIBBLE?

WHAT IS YOUR NAME,
PLEASE?

CUFFY WILLIAMS.

WELL, CUFFY WILLIAMS,

I KNOW VERY WELL THAT
YOU'VE BEEN LAUGHING AT ME,

BUT JUST YOU WAIT.

EXCUSE ME, MY LADY.

FAR BE IT FROM ME
TO CONTRADICT YOU,

BUT JUST YOU WAIT.

IF IT RAINED LIKE THIS
IN CALIFORNIA,

WE WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.

THANKS,
JORDAN.

MAY I, SERGEANT?

OH, SURE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUB TOO
HARD. IT'S WONDERFUL STUFF.

BUT, SIR,

THAT SPOT USED TO BE
MUCH OBSERVED BY TOURISTS,

AND IT BELONGS.

IF THIS STUFF WILL
TAKE OUT LIPSTICK,

IT OUGHT TO DO THIS.

HA HA HA!

WELL, LADY JESSICA?

UHHH...

GET SOME WATER,
SMELLING SALTS.

SOMEBODY
DO SOMETHING!

WELL,
CUFFY WILLIAMS?

EDDIE.

YEAH?

YOU AWAKE?

NO.

IS IT MIDNIGHT YET?

I DON'T KNOW.

GO TO SLEEP,
WILL YOU?

AAH!

HEY! HEY! HE'S HERE!

HE'S HERE!
HE BIT ME!

HE BIT ME!
HE BIT ME!

HE BIT ME!

WHO BIT YOU?
WHAT BIT YOU? WHERE?

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
THAT BLOODSUCKER.

OH, PIPE DOWN.

YOU MUST HAVE
BEEN DREAMING.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN
THE BLOODSUCKER!

LOOK AT THE TEETH
MARKS!

WHAT AM I,
YOUR MOTHER?

YOU'RE THE SERGEANT,
AIN'T YOU?

GET UP!

HEY, FELLAS,
LOOK-

THIS SWORD FELL DOWN
AND SCARED HIM.

WELL, BLESS HIS
LITTLE HEART.

OH.

OH, IT WAS-

IT WAS THE SWORD.

IMAGINE THAT.

DID THE BIG BAD GHOST
FRIGHTEN THE LITTLE BUTTERCUP?

YEAH?

AW, FOR PETE'S SAKE,
TURN IT OFF, WILL YOU?

THERE ARE NO SUCH
THINGS AS GHOSTS.

WELL, SOMETHING MADE
THAT SPOT COME BACK.

THE CLEANING FLUID
DIDN'T TAKE, THAT'S ALL.

ALL I KNOW-

ALL RIGHT, KIDDIES,

NOW, BUNK IN
AND GO BEDDY BYE-BYE.

ONE.

TWO.

11.

12.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEBODY
DRAGGING ASH CANS AROUND.

NO. IT'S CHAINS.

SHH!

OOH...

OH...

THAT AIN'T
NO ASH CAN.

YEE AH YEE!

YA HA HA HA HA HA!

AH HA HA!

YA HA HA HA HA!

HEY, GRANDPA,

YOUR SHIRTTAIL'S
HANGING OUT.

YEAH, SCRAM,
DRIBBLE-PUSS.

BOO!

GO BACK
IN YOUR HOLE!

YEAH, GO ON!
GET OUT OF HERE!

TAKE WARNING!

GET OUT OF HERE!

DUCK, FELLOWS!

DID-DID YOU ALL SEE WHAT I SAW?

THE BULLETS WENT RIGHT THROUGH HIM.

WHAT ABOUT
THAT ROPE?

YEAH. YOU SAW IT, SARGE.

YEAH.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT I SAW IT.

LET'S FACE IT, SARGE.
THAT WAS A REAL GHOST.

WHAT DID I
TELL YOU?

HOW ABOUT THAT BLOOD SPOT AND THE KID?

I TOLD YOU SO.
DIDN'T I, EDDIE?

YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
HOLLERED AT HIM LIKE THAT.

THAT'S NO WAY TO
TREAT A GHOST.

IT CHASED HIM AWAY,
DIDN'T IT?

WHAT IF
HE COMES BACK?

HE MIGHT COME BACK
AT THAT.

HEY, FELLAS,
LISTEN.

YA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

YOO...

A GHOST!

MMM!

PFFT!

YOO...

AWAY!

OOH! OOH!

OOH!

I- I SAID AWAY!

BOO!

AH!

BOO!

AH! AAH!

HA HA HA HA!

HA HA HA!

OH! MY TOE!

HA HA HA HA HA!

OH!

OH!

HE WAS LOOKING
FOR A KINSMAN,

AND, BOY,
DID HE FIND ONE!

OH!

SERGEANT, WE WON'T BE DOING
ANYTHING STRENUOUS TODAY, WILL WE?

DOING IT WITH
PHANTOMS YET!

I'M TIREDER THAN
A SHARECROPPER'S MULE.

CUT THE GROUSING,
FELLAS.

HERE COMES THE LOOEY.

ATTENTION!

AT EASE.

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING, SIR.

WE'RE NOW OFFICIALLY ATTACHED

TO A UNIT OF THE BRITISH COMMANDOS.

SO WE'RE GONNA
CELEBRATE BY

STARTING RIGHT OUT ON OUR
10-HOUR ENDURANCE HIKE.

FORCED MARCHING RATE
FOR EIGHT HOURS.

DOUBLE TIME
THE LAST TWO.

OHH...

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH THE MEN, SERGEANT?

AS A MATTER OF FACT, SIR, I'M AFRAID

THEY DIDN'T EXACTLY
SLEEP SO WELL LAST NIGHT.

REALLY?
WHY NOT?

WELL, MAYBE
IT WAS, UH...

YOU KNOW
HOW IT IS

WHEN YOU SLEEP
IN A NEW PLACE.

HMM.

OHH...

WALTERS!

IS THAT WHAT
KEPT YOU UP?

OH, NO, SIR.

WHAT KEPT ME UP
WAS SEEING THE GHOST.

WASN'T IT,
EDDIE?

THAT'S RIGHT-

I MEAN,
YES, SIR.

YOU, UH...

ALL SAW A GHOST?

YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
BEEN THERE, SIR.

FIRST HE
HUNG HIMSELF.

THEN HE CAME BACK AND HELD
HIS HEAD OUT JUST LIKE THIS.

BY THE HAIR!

ISN'T THAT TOO,
TOO DREADFUL?

YES, SIR.

BIG, HUSKY,
MAN-EATING RANGERS.

BEST PLATOON
IN THE OUTFIT.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA
DO WHEN YOU SEE NAZIS?

BUT NAZIS ARE
TANGIBLE, SIR.

I'LL SAY THEY ARE. WE
CAN TANGLE WITH THEM, SIR.

SUPPOSE YOU TANGLE WITH ME FIRST.

LET'S GET IT STRAIGHT THIS TIME.

WHAT KEPT YOU UP
LAST NIGHT,

A CRAP GAME?

NO, SIR! NO!

IT BEGAN WITH AN
ECTOPLASMIC MANIFESTATION.

IT BEGAN
WITH A WHAT?

AN ECTOPLASMIC
MANIFESTATION.

SERGEANT!

WHAT REALLY KEPT THEM UP LAST NIGHT?

WELL?

IT WAS THE GHOST,
SIR.

ALL RIGHT, SERGEANT.

I GUARANTEE THE MEN WILL SLEEP TONIGHT.

FORM THE PLATOON.

YES, SIR.

FALL IN!

DRESS
RIGHT DRESS!

STRAIGHTEN UP THERE!

READY... FRONT!

SIR, THE PLATOON
IS FORMED.

WILLIAMS, I SUPPOSE
YOU GOT THAT LIMP

FROM BEING CHASED
BY THE GHOST?

NO, SIR. I WAS
CHASING HIM.

BUT IT'S ALL RIGHT, SIR. I CAN WALK.

YOU CAN WALK YOURSELF
RIGHT BACK INTO THAT CASTLE

AND SPEND THE NEXT 10 HOURS
CLEANING IT OUT.

YES, SIR.

WHILE YOU'RE ABOUT IT, WILLIAMS,

CLEAN OUT OUR LITTLE SPOOK, TOO.

YES, SIR.

RIGHT FACE!

CLOSE MARCH!

HELLO THERE, LADY.

OH, IT'S YOU.

WELL, WHO DID YOU
THINK IT WAS?

OH, I-

NO ONE.

I- I WAS JUST GOING
INTO THE PANTRY.

YEAH? THEN WHY DID YOU TAKE
THAT GREAT CIRCLE ROUTE?

AUNTIE THOUGHT THE MESS
SERGEANT MIGHT LIKE SOME ONIONS.

AND I'M A BROWNIE.

WE RAISE ONIONS
AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS,

LIKE THE GIRL GUIDES DO.

OH, COME NOW.

IT WAS THE GHOST THAT
SCARED YOU, WASN'T IT?

I...

WHAT IF IT WERE?

BUT THAT'S SILLY.

THE OLD BOY CALLED ON US LAST NIGHT,

AND WE CHASED HIM RIGHT UP THE CHIMNEY.

OH, YOU DIDN'T.

YOU THINK
I'M KIDDING, UH?

WELL, WE'LL ASK OLD
FOXY GRANDPA HIMSELF.

THAT-THAT WON'T
BE NECESSARY.

YOU STAY RIGHT HERE.

UH-HUH. PLAYING POSSUM.

HEY, GRANDPA,
OPEN UP!

WELL...

A- CALLING WE WILL GO,
MY LADY,

TO BEARD THE LION
IN HIS DEN.

OH, NO, PLEASE. AUNTIE'S
EXPECTING ME HOME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BE AFRAID OF HIM.

YOU ONLY THINK
YOU DO.

NOW YOU JUST PRETEND
THAT YOU'RE NOT AFRAID,

AND YOU WON'T BE.

THAT'S ALL
THERE IS TO IT.

ARE YOU SURE?

I'LL PROVE IT
TO YOU.

COME ON.

HEY!

GHOST, WHERE
YOU HIDING?

THAT MUST BE WHERE
HE WAS WALLED UP.

AH...

WHERE THE DARK DEED
WAS DONE.

HERE, HOLD THIS.

HEY, THIS ONE'S LOOSE.

I'LL JUST PRY IT OUT,
THEN WE...

HELLO.

MUST YOU INVADE
EVEN MY TOMB?

WILL THERE BE NO PLACE
I CAN CALL SANCTUARY?

RELAX, GRANDPA.

THIS IS JUST A LITTLE SOCIAL CALL.

THERE'S SOMEONE HERE I WANT YOU TO MEET.

I HAVE ALREADY MET
YOUR COLONIAL RUFFIANS.

TAKE IT EASY,
GRANDPA.

NOBODY'S GOING TO
HURT YOU.

HEY! DON'T
FADE OUT ON ME.

I WANT YOU TO MEET
LADY JESSICA.

SIR SIMON THE GHOST.

MILADY.

HOW DO YOU DO?

NOT TOO WELL.
THANK YOU.

BLESS YOU.

THANK YOU.

ATTAGIRL!

SHE'S BEEN SCARED STIFF
OF YOU ALL HER LIFE.

I JUST WANTED
TO PROVE TO HER

THAT YOU WOULDN'T
HURT A FLEA.

SIR, MY RECORD
SPEAKS FOR ITSELF-

AN UNBROKEN REIGN OF
TERROR FOR 300 YEARS.

WELL, RECORD
OR NO RECORD,

AS LONG AS HER
LADYSHIP'S AROUND,

YOU'VE GOT TO
BEHAVE YOURSELF.

IT IS ABSURD, ASKING
ME TO BEHAVE MYSELF,

QUITE ABSURD.

I MUST RATTLE MY CHAINS
AND GROAN THROUGH KEYHOLES.

I MUST GIBBER FROM
THE ORIEL WINDOW

ON THE FIRST AND THIRD
WEDNESDAYS IN EVERY MONTH.

IT IS MY SOLEMN DUTY
TO WALK THESE HALLS.

WELL, IN THAT CASE,

YOU'D BETTER GET YOURSELF ANOTHER
CASTLE FOR THE DURATION, BROTHER.

BUT CUFFY, HE CAN'T.
HE'S THE FAMILY GHOST.

AMERICANS, CHILD.

WHAT CAN A PEOPLE WITHOUT
ANCESTORS KNOW ABOUT GHOSTS?

NOW, WAIT
A MINUTE.

I TAKE IT YOU'VE NEVER HEARD
OF THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN

OR RED GRANGE,
THE GALLOPING GHOST.

PROVINCIAL STUFF.

SPIRITS WITH NEITHER CREST NOR TITLE.

OH, WE HAVE
TITLES, TOO-

PRINCE MIKE ROMANOFF,

COUNT BASIE,
DUKE ELLINGTON.

YOU DON'T SAY SO.

MM-HMM.

NOBILITY IN A DEMOCRACY. BALDERDASH.

BUT, MR. GHOST-
I MEAN, SIR SIMON-

WE'VE HAD DEMOCRACY
HERE IN ENGLAND

EVER SINCE
THE MAGNA CARTA,

1215.

BUT I HAVE NEVER CHOSEN TO RECOGNIZE IT.

BUT YOU SHOULD,
SIR SIMON.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FIGHTING
THIS WAR ABOUT,

MY AUNTIE SAYS.

THAT'S THE STUFF,
MY LADY!

YOU SEE? YOU'RE
NOT SCARED A BIT.

OH...

NOW THAT YOU TWO
CANTERVILLES ARE ACQUAINTED,

YOU MUST HAVE A LOT OF
FAMILY MATTERS TO GAB ABOUT,

SO, UH, I'LL GET ON
WITH MY CLEANING.

YOU, UH, SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

YES. THANK YOU.

UNLESS YOU'D RATHER
BE ALONE.

OH, NO, NO.

PLEASE,
PRAY SIT DOWN.

I'VE FORGOTTEN
MY MANNERS.

WELL, IF I MAY SAY SO,

YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A LITTLE
MORE POLITE TO CUFFY JUST NOW.

AFTER WHAT HE AND HIS BAND
OF HOOLIGANS DID TO ME?

I MAY HAVE VERY LITTLE ELSE,
BUT I STILL HAVE MY PRIDE.

MAYBE THEY WOULDN'T
HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO YOU

IF YOU HADN'T
FRIGHTENED THEM.

WHAT ELSE IS THERE
FOR ME TO DO?

I AM A GHOST. I MUST FRIGHTEN PEOPLE.

AND I HAVE A REPUTATION
TO UPHOLD.

THE MOST FEARSOME PHANTOM
IN ALL ENGLAND CANNOT-

BUT CUFFY TOLD ME THAT THEY CHASED
YOU UP THE CHIMNEY LAST NIGHT.

THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE
THOSE HOOLIGANS HAD...

LADY JESSICA...

I CANNOT PRETEND
ANY LONGER.

SINCE LAST NIGHT,

IT IS I
WHO AM FRIGHTENED,

I WHO TREMBLE AT
THE SLIGHTEST NOISE.

POOR, POOR GHOST.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A GHOST,

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT,
DAY AFTER DAY,

TO LIVE IN EMPTINESS
BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH

WITH NOTHING FOR COMPANY
BUT YOUR BITTER MEMORIES?

BUT DO YOU HAVE TO
KEEP ON BEING A GHOST?

I AM CONDEMNED
TO BE A GHOST

UNTIL A KINSMAN PERFORM
A BRAVE DEED IN MY BEHALF.

I HAVE WALKED THESE HALLS
FOR THREE CENTURIES,

AND I'M SO TIRED.

IF ONLY I COULD REST.

IF ONLY I COULD DIE.

TO BE BURIED
IN THE SOFT, BROWN EARTH

IN THE GARDEN
BEYOND THE PINE WOODS,

TO HAVE NO YESTERDAY
AND NO TOMORROW,

TO FORGET TIME,

TO BE AT PEACE.

OH, DEAR.

I WISH I COULD DO A BRAVE DEED FOR YOU.

HOW GOES IT, LADY?

OH, FINE.

SORRY TO BUST UP
THIS LITTLE REUNION,

BUT THE LOOEY WILL
BE BACK IN A MINUTE.

GOOD-BYE, SIR SIMON.

I'M VERY HAPPY
TO HAVE MET YOU.

CUFFY, I THINK YOU OUGHT
TO TELL YOUR FRIENDS

NOT TO CHASE HIM
UP THE CHIMNEY ANYMORE.

WELL, THAT DEPENDS
ON HIM.

BUT HE'S SO OLD

AND SO TIRED.

HUH!

EXCUSE ME, MY LADY.
SEE YOU LATER.

SIR SIMON,
I JUST SAW-

CUFFY HAS THE CANTERVILLE
MARK ON HIS NECK.

WHAT?

EXACTLY LIKE
MY FATHER HAD.

THAT AMERICAN
RUFFIAN?

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?
HE MUST BE A CANTERVILLE.

EGAD, AND WHAT IF
HE BE A CANTERVILLE?

SHALL I PRANCE
JOYOUSLY AROUND

LIKE A SAUCY
ANTELOPE?

BUT, SIR SIMON,

IF HE IS A KINSMAN, AND IF HE
DOES A BRAVE DEED IN YOUR NAME,

HE CAN SAVE YOU,
CAN'T HE?

CAN IT BE THAT THEY
HAVE CONCEALED FROM THEE

WHY I AM STILL HERE?

DOST FANCY 'TIS BECAUSE
I CANNOT FIND A KINSMAN?

WELL, I HEARD
MR. POTTS SAY

THAT THE CANTERVILLES ALWAYS
TURNED OUT TO BE COWARDS.

IS IT THAT?

COWARDS?
GROSS FLATTERY.

HAD THEY TWICE
THE COURAGE,

'TWOULD ONLY GIVE THEM HALF THE NAME.

THY GRANDFATHER, WOULD HE MOUNT A HORSE?

THY FATHER,
SO FEARFUL OF WATER

THAT HE TREMBLED
IN HIS BATH...

OR THYSELF, SWOONING AT
THE MERE SIGHT OF MY SHADOW.

REALLY, NOW!

IT'S YOUR FAMILY, TOO, SIR SIMON!

ONLY TOO WELL DO I KNOW.

BUT, SIR SIMON,
WAIT.

CUFFY CAN SAVE YOU.
I KNOW IT.

IT ISN'T TRUE THAT ALL
CANTERVILLES HAVE TO BE COWARDS.

HAVEN'T I LIVED
LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW?

I WAS A COWARD,
WASN'T I?

I WAS FRIGHTENED
TO DEATH OF YOU.

NOW LOOK AT ME.
LOOK AT ME!

I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU
ANYMORE, NOT IN THE LEAST.

DON'T YOU SEE,
SIR SIMON?

NAY, NAY. 'TWAS IN
THEIR BLOOD AND BONES.

IT ISN'T IN MY
BLOOD AND BONES,

AND IT ISN'T
IN CUFFY'S.

YOU CAN TELL HE'S BRAVE
JUST BY LOOKING AT HIM.

OH, SIR SIMON, I'LL ARRANGE
FOR YOU TO MEET HIM AGAIN,

AND IF IT TURNS OUT THAT
HE IS A CANTERVILLE...

MY GOODNESS! PERHAPS YOU'LL
BE ABLE TO GO TO SLEEP

IN THE GARDEN BEYOND
THE PINE WOODS AFTER ALL.

PLEASE, SIR SIMON.

VERY WELL, CHILD.

SIR SIMON,
WHERE ARE YOU?

HERE, HERE.

GOOD EVENING, SIR SIMON.

I BROUGHT HIM.

SIR?

HOW ARE YOU, SIR SIMON?
WHAT'S COOKING?

COOKING?

YEAH. I MEAN,
WHAT'S ALL THE MYSTERY?

THE SERGEANT WILL HAVE
THE BLOODHOUNDS AFTER ME

IF I'M NOT
IN THE HAY BY 9:00.

AND AUNTIE WILL BE
AFTER ME

IF SHE FINDS OUT
I'M NOT IN BED.

GO ON, SIR SIMON,
ASK HIM.

WELL, TELL ME,
PRITHEE...

OH, YES.

I AM AWARE THAT FEW AMERICANS
KNOW THEIR OWN GRANDFATHERS,

BUT DOST THOU
BY ANY MIRACLE

REMEMBER AUGHT
OF THINE ANCESTORS?

ANCESTORS? MY OLD MAN
WOULD NEVER LOOK INTO HIS.

SAID HE WAS SCARED HE MIGHT TURN UP
ONE THAT ENDED UP ON THE HOT SEAT.

HOT SEAT? NOWADAYS, ENGLAND AND
AMERICA HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON

EXCEPT, OF COURSE,
THE LANGUAGE.

SIR SIMON! THINK BACK,
CUFFY, PLEASE.

TRY TO REMEMBER.

WE DON'T GO IN MUCH
FOR THAT SORT OF THING

IN THE STATES.

WAIT A MINUTE. I HAD AN AUNT MARTHA.

SHE WAS A LITTLE WACKY ON THE SUBJECT.

ONCE, SHE DID TRACE MY
MOTHER'S FAMILY TREE BACK

AS FAR AS SOME GUY THAT
LANDED IN MASSACHUSETTS

WAY, WAY BACK.

HIS NAME WAS,
UH, MARMALADE-

NO, NO.
MARMADUKE.

MARMADUKE. THAT SAME
MARMADUKE WHO FLED TO SALEM

AFTER CROMWELL SCATTERED THE
CHIVALRY OF ENGLAND TO THE FOUR WINDS.

OH, SIR SIMON!

YOU KNEW HIM?

YEA. HE WAS THE SON
OF MY BROTHER ANTHONY.

OH, NOW,
TAKE IT EASY, SIR SIMON.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
IT'S THE SAME MARMADUKE?

SHOW HIM.

HOLY CATS!

NOW THINE,
PLEASE.

HOLY CATS,
INDEED!

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

WELL, I'LL BE...

WELL, THAT MAKES ME,
UH...

YOUR...

NEPHEW. GREAT-GREAT-
GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-NEPHEW.

AYE, THOU ART
A KINSMAN,

A KINSMAN
WHO CAN FREE ME

FROM THESE
EARTHLY BONDS.

BY PERFORMING
A BRAVE DEED IN HIS NAME.

I CAN, HUH?

WILT WEAR MY SIGNET, KINSMAN,

AND CARRY IT INTO BATTLE IN MY BEHALF?

WELL, I DON'T KNOW,
NOW.

SEE, UH...

A COLONIAL RUFFIAN
LIKE ME

SAVING A BLUE BLOOD
LIKE YOU?

OH, BUT, CUFFY,
YOU MUST SAVE HIM.

HE'S SO TIRED AND SLEEPY.

I COULDN'T EAT MY SUPPER
TONIGHT FROM WORRYING OVER HIM.

BESIDES, THOU ART A CANTERVILLE THYSELF,

THE BLUEST BLOOD IN
ALL BROAD ENGLAND.

THE BLUEST BLOOD,
HUH?

OK, IT'S A DEAL.

YOU'RE IN, UNCLE,

THE FIRST TIME THEY TURN
ME LOOSE ON THOSE NAZIS.

I SHALL BE EVERLASTINGLY
GRATEFUL, NEPHEW.

I, TOO.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT TIME
TO GET YOU HOME, LADY.

THUMBS UP, UNCLE.

IT'S IN THE BAG.

OH, FATHER,

GRANT THAT HE BE NOT
LIKE THE OTHERS.

THE WHOLE DAY
WASTED.

RIGHT NOW WE COULD BE IN
LONDON, BUZZIN' THE TOWN.

YEAH, OR ON SKIRT PATROL,
SKIRMISHING.

WHAT GETS ME IS,
THE LOOEY STILL THINKS

WE WERE UP ALL NIGHT
SHOOTING CRAP.

IF HE'D ONLY SEEN
THE GHOST.

DON'T WORRY, SARGE.
MAYBE HE WILL YET.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HOW?

CLICK,
CLICK.

YOU MEAN, TAKE HIS PICTURE?

IF WE HAD A CAMERA,
WHICH WE AIN'T GOT,

BUT WHICH YOU GOT.

WE GOT.

* BUM BUM LA-BA BUM BUM **

HEY, LOOK OUT!

WE GOT!

WHOA!

WE GOT THE CAMERA
FOR THE GHOST PICTURE.

LISTEN, YOU GUYS, WHY DON'T
YOU LAY OFF THAT POOR OLD GHOST?

HE ISN'T BOTHERING US
ANYMORE, IS HE?

NOT MUCH! IF IT WASN'T FOR
HIM, WE WOULDN'T BE STUCK HERE.

YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM. AFTER
ALL, A GHOST HAS TO GROAN

THROUGH KEYHOLES
AND RATTLE HIS CHAINS.

WHY THE SUDDEN
SYMPATHY?

YEAH. WHO DREAMED UP
THE GAS-MASK IDEA?

WELL, I KNOW, BUT NOW I GOT A
SORT OF A PERSONAL INTEREST IN HIM.

I HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE THAT
I'M THE LONG-LOST DUKE OF CANTERVILLE,

THE BLUEST BLOOD
IN ALL BROAD ENGLAND.

THE DUKE OF CANTERVILLE?

SEEMS TO ME I SEEN YOU
IN THE INDUCTION CENTER.

IF I WERE YOU,

I'D BE CAREFUL WHAT
I SAID AND DID, SEE?

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE LOAFING
ON MY LAWN

AND TALKING BEFORE YOU'RE TALKED TO.

YOU CAN
- I BEG YOUR PARDON, YOUR GRACE.

THIS IS YOUR
PRIVATE LAWN?

YEA.

ONLY YOU CAN
LIE ON IT?

YEA.

EXCUSE ME,
YOUR GRACE.

WHOA!

HA HA HA HA!

WHOOPS! SORRY!

DO YOU MIND IF WE REMOVE THE COVERALLS?

STEADY, OLD CHAP. IT'S
AN OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM!

DEPANTSING
THE DUKE.

HEY, LOOK!

LOOK!

GIVE ME MY PANTS!

HERE, HIDE BEHIND.

GOOD AFTERNOON,
EVERYBODY.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

THIS IS MY AUNT,
MRS. POLVERDINE.

GLAD TO MEET YOU.

I DON'T KNOW ALL YOUR NAMES,
BUT YOU'RE BUGSY, AREN'T YOU?

YES, MA'AM.
HOW DO YOU DO?

AND MR. WALTERS.
HE'S THE INDIAN.

AND...

AND... OH, AUNTIE,

THIS IS
CUFFY WILLIAMS.

HOW DO YOU DO,
PRIVATE WILLIAMS?

YOU'VE MADE QUITE AN
IMPRESSION ON MY NIECE.

THANK YOU.

CUFFY-
I MEAN, ALL OF YOU-

AUNTIE SAID
I MIGHT INVITE YOU

TO THE PARTY IN THE
VILLAGE THIS AFTERNOON.

OOH! GEE!

A PARTY!

IT'S ONLY A
HOLIDAY-AT-HOME DANCE,

BUT THERE'LL BE
REFRESHMENTS.

GIRLS, TOO?

OH, YES.

GIRLS, SHE SAYS.

WHAT ARE THEY?

WELL...

GIRLS, GIRLS,
GIRLS...

OH, I REMEMBER.

THEN YOU'LL COME?

SURE.

OH, YEAH.

DRIVE ALONG, THEN,
JESSICA.

I'M SO GLAD
TO HAVE MET YOU.

4:00. DON'T FORGET.

THANK YOU.

BYE.

GOOD-BYE!

BYE!

BYE!

BYE-BYE!

SEE YOU!

GOOD-BYE!

BYE!

DON'T FORGET
THE GIRLS!

BYE!

WELL, WET YOUR WHISTLES.
WET YOUR WHISTLES.

WHAT DO YOU DO ON
MOONLIGHT NIGHTS, DIMPLES?

GRIND CRANKSHAFTS
FOR WELLINGTON BOMBERS.

OH.

BUT IT'S DAYTIME NOW.

OH, WELL.

I SAY, COULD, UH...

ME?

UM, WOULD YOU...

SAM, SAM, ASK HIM
IF HE WANTS TO DANCE.

HIM?

AYE, HIM.
RIGHT.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?

WHY, I'D LOVE TO.

I BET HE WAS A GOOD DANCER AT ONE TIME.

HERE'S YOUR DREAM MAN,
COOKIE.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HA HA!

MY LADY, MAY I HAVE THE
PLEASURE OF THIS DANCE?

WITH ME?
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW.

YOU DON'T? THEN IT'S
HIGH TIME YOU LEARNED.

ISN'T IT,
MRS. POLVERDINE?

I THINK
SHE'S VERY FORTUNATE

TO HAVE SUCH A CHARMING
DANCING TEACHER.

THANK YOU.
MY LADY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I GO FORWARD,
YOU GO BACKWARD.

WHEN I GO BACKWARD,
VICE VERSA.

1-2-3, 1-2-3.
THAT-A GIRL.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE MORE DIFFICULT.

IT IS FOR MOST PEOPLE.

SWING IT OUT, OLD-TIMER. COME ON.

MIND IF I SAW
THEM CATGUTS, MISTER?

MY LADY, LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE
STUCK WITH THE BUNION EXPRESS.

I CAN'T.

COME ON.
CLIMB ABOARD.

IS THIS INDIAN STYLE?

UGH!

WHOOP! WHOOP!
WHOOP!

HOBOKEN TRIBE.

I BELIEVE THEY CALL IT
WOOGIE-BOOGIE.

* HEY DOODLE DOODLE
DA DA DA *

* DOODLE DOODLE
DOODLE DOO OOH DA *

* DOODLE DOODLE
DOO DOO OOH DOO DOO **

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE
THE BELLE OF THE BALL?

I LIKE IT VERY MUCH,

BUT DOES IT ALWAYS
MAKE YOU SO DIZZY?

IT MAKES MOST OF THEM
EVEN DIZZIER.

SUPPOSE YOU AND I
HAVE A SHORT ONE, HMM?

TWO, UH, NEAT.

YES, SIR.

ANYHOW, WOULD YOU
BELIEVE IT?

THE LIEUTENANT
THINKS IT'S APPLESAUCE.

I BELIEVE YOU SAW THE
CANTERVILLE GHOST RIGHT ENOUGH,

BUT THE DAY
WILL NEVER DAWN

WHEN HE'D RUN AWAY FROM A
HUMAN BEING, THAT IT WON'T.

WAIT A MINUTE. HERE'S
THE GUY TO BELIEVE.

BOYS, MEET THE DUKE
OF CANTERVILLE HIMSELF.

AHH!
OH!

OH, THE DUKE
OF CANTERVILLE.

HONORED,
YOUR GRACE.

IF IT CAN BE CALLED AN HONOR
TO MEET A CANTERVILLE.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH
BEING A CANTERVILLE?

WELL, SINCE YOU'RE SO WELL-ACQUAINTED
WITH THE GHOST, WHY NOT ASK HIM?

CUFFY, PLEASE, UH,

WILL YOU DANCE
WITH ME AGAIN?

SURE.

HEY, YOU!

IT'S ME. CUFFY.

ODD'S GALLOWS, WHAT A
FRIGHT THOU GAVEST ME.

UNCLE,
I'VE BEEN THINKING.

LOOK, YOU CAN COME INTO
FOCUS NOW. IT'S ONLY ME.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

THANKS. THAT'S BETTER.

IT'S SUCH A PROBLEM TO
HAVE TO WALK THESE NIGHTS.

UNCLE, IF YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO HANG AROUND HERE

UNTIL A CANTERVILLE
DOES A BRAVE DEED FOR YOU,

HOW COME YOU'RE STILL HERE
AFTER 300 YEARS?

HAS IT REALLY BEEN
THAT LONG?

WHAT HAPPENED WHEN
THEY TRIED TO SAVE YOU?

EXCUSE ME. I'M OVERDUE NOW. I REALLY
MUST GIBBER AT THE ORIEL WINDOW.

WAIT A MINUTE.
QUIT STALLING.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH
THE CANTERVILLES?

WRONG? SIR, ARE YOU
IMPUGNING THE FAMILY HONOR?

ALL RIGHT. I WAS WILLING
TO PLAY ALONG WITH YOU,

BUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO
HOLD OUT ON ME...

NAY, NAY, KINSMAN.

I WAS MERELY TRYING
TO SPARE THEE.

SPARE ME?

WHAT? GO ON.
SPILL IT.

MAYHAP IT IS BETTER

IF THINE ANCESTORS
SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

COME WITH ME.

HEY, EDDIE.
HE'S OUT THERE.

HARRY. HARRY.
THE GHOST IS WALKING.

COME ON.

IN HERE, NEPHEW.

UH!

OH, EXCUSE ME.
I KEEP FORGETTING.

IT'S OK.
JUST A LITTLE NEW TO ME.

THIS MUST BE A ROOM I MISSED
SWEEPING OUT THE OTHER DAY.

WOULD THOU COULDST
SWEEP AWAY ITS HISTORY.

GAZE UPON THEM,
OUR NOBLE FAMILY.

SIR GERALD DE CANTERVILLE,

THE PROUD SKIPPER
OF THE FRIGATE CRANSTON.

WHEN SHE SANK,

HE WAS THE FIRST
TO LEAVE HIS SHIP.

SIR ANDREW DE CANTERVILLE.

HE SAW A GRENADIER LOSE A
FINGER AT BLENHEIM BATTLE

AND SWOONED AWAY.

AND THE BLESSED TWINS.

LIEUTENANT PAUL
RODE THE WRONG WAY

IN THE CHARGE
OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE.

LIEUTENANT PETER WAS
10 LENGTHS AHEAD OF HIM.

YOU MEAN
THEY WERE ALL COWARDS.

ALL.

AT THE MOMENT OF CRISIS,
THEIR EYES DISTEND,

THEIR KNEES BUCKLE,

THEIR HANDS TREMBLE
AS WITH THE AGUE.

AYE, OF ALL
THE HEROIC FAMILIES

THAT FOR CENTURIES
HAVE BRIGHTENED

THE HONOR AND GLORY
OF ENGLAND,

OURS HAD TO BE A BROOD
OF LILY-LIVERED TITMICE.

SO THAT'S WHY
YOU HELD OUT ON ME.

YOU THOUGHT IF I FOUND
OUT, I'D BE THE SAME WAY.

OH, NAY, NOT AT ALL.
IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND.

THEN WHAT ARE YOU MAKING
ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?

SO THEY ALL TURNED
CHICKEN ON YOU.

SO THEY ALL HAVE CARROTS
FOR BREAKFAST ON TUESDAYS.

IT'S THE SAME THING
TO ME.

VERILY?

I DON'T CARE
WHAT THE OTHERS DID.

THIS IS CUFFY, SEE?

VERILY.

ALL RIGHT, THEN.

WHEW!

NOW, HARRY, SHOOT!

WE GOT IT!
YIPPEE!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE GHOST'S
PICTURE.

HE GOT IT.
WHO?

HARRY!
HE'S IN THE ARMOR.

THAT-A BOY, HARRY.

HARRY, YOU GOT IT.

TAKE IT EASY, HARRY.
TAKE IT EASY, NOW.

CAREFUL. CAREFUL!

GEE, I BROKE IT,
DIDN'T I, EDDIE?

THAT'S RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT, MEN, THIS IS IT.
START LOADING THE TRUCKS.

BATTLE EQUIPMENT!

CHECK THE MEN
FOR PERSONAL BELONGINGS.

WALKER-DYNAMITE,
PLUNGER BOXES, FUSE, WIRE.

OK, SERGEANT.
LET'S GO!

BROWN! BE SURE TO TAKE OFF THAT
RING. IT'LL SHINE IN THE DARK.

SURE THING, SARGE.

REMEMBER, WE BLOW
THE REFINERY AT 2350.

WE HAVE TO HOLD THIS POINT THE
EIGHT MINUTES IT TAKES US TO GET BACK

IN CASE ANY JERRIES COME DOWN THIS ROAD
FROM THE COAST AND TRY TO CUT US OFF.

CHECK?
CHECK.

CHECK.

McDOUGLE, YOU'LL FIND THE PHONE
WIRE ABOUT A HALF-MILE DOWN THE ROAD.

CUT IT AND GET BACK
TO YOUR CREW. YES, SIR.

SEE YOU LATER, KIDS.

PROTECTION PLUS
THE WIDEST RANGE OF FIRE.

YOU ALL SET?

YEP.

IT WON'T BE LONG NOW,
GWENDOLYN.

I THINK I'LL KEEP AN EYE OUT FROM ABOVE.

OK, CUFFY.

...BUT DELIVER US
FROM EVIL,

FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM
AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY

FOREVER AND EVER.

AMEN.

I HAVE SO MUCH SPECIAL
TO ASK TONIGHT.

PLEASE TAKE CARE OF CUFFY.

PLEASE DO.
DON'T LET HIM GET HURT.

AND UNCLE SIMON-

YOU KNOW,
I TOLD YOU ABOUT HIM-

HE'S SUCH A POOR, POOR,
FUNNY OLD GHOST,

AND HE'S SO TIRED.

WON'T YOU PLEASE
LET CUFFY SAVE HIM

SO HE CAN GO TO SLEEP?

YE SKULKING, CRINGING,
MISBEGOTTEN PACKAGE OF PEAFOWL,

YE WRETCHED POLTROONS

WHO HAVE DARKENED
ENGLAND'S BRIGHTEST MOMENTS,

NOT FOR LONG NOW
WILL I HAVE YOU LEERING AT ME

IN CYNICAL MOCKERY,

NOT FOR LONG...

YE DRIBBLE-PUSSES.

AS FOR THEE,
CAPTAIN BERTRAM,

WHO HID TREMBLING
IN A WELL AT WATERLOO,

I SPIT IN THINE EYE.

THEE, FAT ALGERNON,

WHO POSED FOR TWO YEARS
AS A DOWAGER

TO ESCAPE FIGHTING
A DUEL,

I SPIT IN THINE EYE.

THEE, SIR PERCIVAL,

WHO FOUGHT THROUGH
THE THIRTY YEARS' WAR

WITHOUT FIRING
A SHOT...

OH!

THE RING!

OH! OH!

AAH!

OH! OH!

DID YOU SEE IT?

OH! AAH!

OOH!

AAH!

THE RING.
YOU FORGOT THE RING.

OH. WELL, GIVE IT HERE.

THANK YOU.

FORGET IT.

WELL?

THINKEST THOU THE ENEMY
WILL COME THIS WAY?

THAT ISN'T
WHAT'S WORRYING YOU.

WITH HALF AN EYE, ONE CAN SEE
THAT THOU HAST THE HEART OF A LION.

HORSEFEATHERS. GO AWAY, WILL YOU? GO ON!

I MERELY THOUGHT
I COULD BOLSTER YOU UP

IN CASE YOU WERE
A BIT SQUEAMISH.

I WANT TO BE SQUEAMISH!

QUIT CHECKING UP ON ME
AND SCRAM, WILL YOU?

AS YOU WILL.

I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU
TO BEAT IT.

THOU ART MY ONLY HOPE,
MY ONLY SALVATION.

SIGN OFF, WILL YOU?!

WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO THOSE GUYS?

TRIGGER!

KEEP A COOL HEAD. KEEP A
COOL HEAD. KEEP A COOL HEAD.

GET OUT OF HERE!
GO ON, GET OUT!

MOTORCYCLE PATROL.
LOTS OF THEM.

MM-HMM.

WE'LL WAIT TILL WE SEE
THE BACKS OF THEIR TONSILS.

GOD, THERE'S HOPE.

TRIGGER.

YOU'RE GOING AWAY?

YEAH.

OH, CUFFY.

THAT'S RIGHT.
LOOK AT ME.

I'M A CANTERVILLE,

JUST AS COWARDLY
AS THE REST OF THEM.

DON'T SAY THAT.
YOU'RE NOT A COWARD.

YOU'RE BRAVE.
I KNOW IT.

I KNOW IT.

ALL RIGHT, LADY,
HAVE IT YOUR OWN WAY.

CUFFY.

I'M SORRY
IT TURNED OUT THIS WAY.

GOOD-BYE, LADY.

CUFFY...

CUFFY! CUFFY!

THERE'S A PARACHUTE. I

MAYBE A NAZI
CAME DOWN IN IT.

OH, CUFFY,
WHAT WILL WE DO?

WHERE IS

IT'S THIS SIDE
OF THE STONE BRIDGE.

WHERE'S THE STONE BRIDGE?

DO YOU KNOW THE OLD SIDE ROAD? NO.

GET GOING NOW. RUN QUICK!

WHERE'S CUFFY? HAS HE
ENCOUNTERED THE ENEMY?

OH, UNCLE SIMON, CUFFY'S
MOVING A BLOCKBUSTER.

HE'S DOING THE BRAVEST
DEED THAT EVER WAS.

THE PORTRAIT
OF A CANTERVILLE.

NO, UNCLE, NO!

YOU'RE NOT A COWARD!
YOU'RE NOT A COWARD!

CUFFY, YOU WERE
DOING THE BRAVE DEED.

DON'T YOU SEE?
YOU CAN DO IT!

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID
BECAUSE YOU'RE A CANTERVILLE.

YOU ONLY THINK YOU DO.

LOOK, CUFFY, I'M NOT
AFRAID OF THE MINE!

LOOK, CUFFY, LOOK!

I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE
MINE! LOOK, CUFFY, LOOK!

I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING

IT'S A DUD.

HOW WILL WE EVER
GET IT INTO PLACE AGAIN?

OH, MY.

MY BOWLER.

NEVER MIND YOUR BOWLER.

GO AND RING UP
THE AIR RAID SERVICE.

OH, DEAR.

WELL, I SUPPOSE WE'RE LUCKY
TO HAVE ESCAPED WITH OUR LIVES.

JESSICA.

I MADE HIM DO IT.
CUFFY.

NOW, DARLING,
WE'LL GO HOME,

AND I'LL PUT YOU
IN YOUR NICE WARM BED.

I'LL GET YOUR THINGS.

* GERTIE FROM BIZERTE *

* YOU'RE THE GAL FOR ME *

* GERTIE FROM BIZERTE *

CUFFY!

*... AS CAN BE *

* GERTIE FROM BIZERTE *

* DON'T YOU NEVER,
EVER DARE DESERTIE ME *

* DESERTIE ME *

* THOUGH YOUR LINGO
I DON'T KNOW *

* WHEN WE KISS, YOU MAKE ME
HOLLER "BINGO!" HO HO HO *

* GERTIE FROM BIZERTE *

* YOU'RE THE GAL
FOR ME **

CUFFY, YOU'RE ALIVE.

HOW DID YOU DO IT?

I JUST DUMPED THE COCKEYED
THING RIGHT INTO THE RAVINE.

LIKE SAINT GEORGE
SLAYING THE COCKEYED DRAGON.

OH! UNCLE SIMON.

WHAT, CHILD?

IF CUFFY IS
A CANTERVILLE,

AND HE'S DONE
A BRAVE DEED FOR YOU,

THEN WHY ARE YOU
STANDING HERE?

YEAH. WHY AREN'T YOU IN THAT
GARDEN BEYOND THE PINE WOODS?

FATHER.

FATHER!

FATHER!

POOR UNCLE SIMON.

FATHER!

FATHER.

THANK YOU, NEPHEW.

THANK YOU, NIECE.

FAREWELL.

FAREWELL, UNCLE.

FAREWELL.

DID YOU SEE THAT,
LIEUTENANT?

THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN
TRYING TO...

GEE, THAT CERTAINLY IS A
LONG TIME TO GO WITHOUT SLEEP.

YES, BUT YOU NEARLY
ALWAYS HAVE TO WAIT

FOR ANYTHING
YOU WANT VERY MUCH.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,
CUFFY?

WHY?

I SHALL BE 7 IN MAY.
