Tigger: Ha-ha-ha! Hiya, Gopher!
Gopher: Don't "hiya” me, sonny! How do you expect a fella to get any sleep with all this noise? Hmmph! Don't you people know it's past your bedtime?

(All) Whoa! Whoa!
Tigger: Tiggers need their beauty sleep too, ya know. Ah-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Rabbit: I'm coming back first thing in the morning for my turn.
Tigger: Me too. It's the early bird that steps on the worm.
Eeyore: But even the worm get a turn before me.
Tigger: Hey, Piglet, better get home too. Don't want to be out here with the lights out. The woods are full of bumpities and spookables.
Piglet: Spookables? Oh, dear! Oh, d-d-dearie, dear!
(Wind Blowing)
Eeyore: Ooohhh!
Pooh: What was that?
Eeyore: Ooohhh!
Tigger: What was that? Either the moon's got termites, or it's them spookables! I'd better “investagrate.”
Piglet: Oh, d-d-dear! I don't like it when the night squeaks!
Eeyore: Ooohhh!
Piglet: Yikes! There! What I can't hear can't hurt me.
Eeyore: Ooohhh!
Piglet: Oh, n-n-no! Oh, much better! Now I can't see "or" hear it. B-B-But what if it can see and hear me? Help! Pooh! Oh, dear, I have to get to Pooh's house. He'll know what to do. Whoa!
(Crash)
Piglet: Pooh!
Gopher: Hmm. Somethin' mighty strange goin' on around here.
Piglet: Whoa! Oh, d-d-dear!
Pooh: (Gasps) A ghost!
Piglet: Where? Where?
Pooh: Help!
Piglet: Aaah!
Pooh: Yaaah!
Piglet: Aaah!
Eeyore: Ooohhh!
Tigger: Gasp! A spookable! No bumpity's gonna get the drop on me. Ooof! Hey, Eeyore, watcha doin' out here actin' all scary-like?
Eeyore: Learnin' to swing. Don't get a chance durin' the day.
Tigger: Oh, the poor guy. Heh-heh-heh! Well, don't worry! I'll learn ya to swing like a nightingale!
Eeyore: I can hardly wait.
Gopher: What I want to know is... how we're supposed to catch a ghost.
Rabbit: Surprise!
Pooh: Why, thank you, Rabbit! (Chuckles) Is it my birthday again so soon?
Rabbit: No, no, no! We have to catch the ghost by surprise.
Gopher: I'll surprise him... (Chuckles) With this.
Owl: Hoo-hoo! I say, I "do” hate to bring this up, but before we confront the apparition, we do have to find him, don't we?
Rabbit: That's right, unless “he..” finds “us” first!
Tigger: Since you're havin' trouble holdin' onto the swing, this glue... will hold the swing onto you! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
(Strains)
Eeyore: I got sticky feelin' about this.
Tigger: One, two, three, shove!
Eeyore: Whoa!
(Crash)
Tigger: Heh-heh-heh! Worked on this end. Ah-ha! Hey, Eeyore, I know what the problem is.
Eeyore: Glad somebody does.
Tigger: It's not your swingin', it's your landin's! Ha! Them I can fix.
Piglet: I should be brave, at least brave enough... to peek out and see something besides my feet. But suppose I peeked out and “did” see something besides my feet? Pooh!
Pooh: Did you hear that?
Rabbit: I-It's the g-g-ghost!
Pooh: Now's your chance to surprise it, Rabbit.
Rabbit: Maybe we should just write it a letter?
Gopher: I got somethin' special delivery for it. Follow me!
Pooh: My, the dark certainly is... dark in here.
Piglet: Ugh! Excuse me.
Owl: Quite all right.
Piglet: Thank you.
(All) A ghost!
Piglet: Oooh!
(All) The ghost!
Rabbit: Where? Where?
(All) Aaah!
Piglet: Oh, d-d-dear!

Piglet: Pooh Bear?
Pooh: Why, hello, Piglet. (Chuckles) What were you doing hiding inside of that ghost?
Piglet: Well, you see, uh... There was, uh, and then...
Rabbit: Ha! I knew there were no such things as ghosts all the time.
Piglet: Oh, but there is a ghost, Rabbit. I... I heard it.
Pooh: Yes, Piglet, and we heard you too.
Gopher: Ha! Ghosts.
Piglet: There it is!
Gopher: Well, looks like we're gonna investigate after all.
Tigger: Hmm, you know what you ought to have?
Eeyore: My stuffing examined.
Tigger: No! Hoo-hoo-hoo! A head “Protectorizer”!
Eeyore: Wonderful.
Tigger: There, now ya can know which way's front. Hold onto your hooves! Ready?
Eeyore: No, but go ahead anyway.
Tigger: Charge!

Tigger: Hiya, Pooh Boy! Ha-ha-ha! What are you guys doin' out in the darkity dark?
Pooh: That's no ghost. (Chuckles) That's Tigger.
Piglet: Then w-w-what's that?
Eeyore: That's what I'd like to know. Help!
Tigger: Oh, must've been the wrong cord.
Piglet: Oh, dear!
(Gasps)
(All) Ghost! Ghost!
Tigger: Say, what's the matter with you guys?
(All) Look!
Tigger: What, that? Ha! It's only Eeyore.
Eeyore: Surprise, surprise.
Piglet: Oh, my, it "is" Eeyore.
Rabbit: Why, it's Eeyore!
Owl: Oh, I say, incredible!
Pooh: Oh, (Chuckles) so it is.
Gopher: Swell, but what about my ghost?
Tigger: No ghost. Just a donkey swingin' from the end of his parachute! Ha-ha! Uh, swingin' from the end of his parachute? Hey, Eeyore, you're swingin'!
Eeyore: Hooray for me.
Tigger: Ha-ha! Yeah, he came out at night to practice. And "I" was his coach.
Piglet: So there was no ghost all the time?
Pooh: Only Eeyore. (Chuckles) And he's a friendly ghost.
Rabbit: Oh, my! Look!
Owl: Oh, I say! That seems like fun!
Tigger: Yeah. Hey, wait a minute, donkey boy! I want a turn. Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
