Dialogue

edit
[In the Bagge farmhouse, Courage tells Eustace that he's been hearing something as his eyes glow different colors while sound waves come out of his ears and his rear end bounces]
Eustace: Uh-huh. OK, I see. But what do you think about this?! Ooga booga booga! [Courage screams then zips off as Eustace laughs and turns on the TV] Finally! A little peace and quiet.

[The Scooby Gang enter the Bagge farmhouse and block Eustace's view from the TV]
Muriel: Look, we're having guests, Eustace. Isn't that exciting?
Eustace: Dang it, Muriel, you're blocking my stories!
Muriel: Now entertain our guests, dear, while I go put the kettle on.
[Eustace and the Scooby Gang stare at each other awkwardly for a moment; The gang says "Hello" to him and Scooby-Doo chuckles cheekily]
Eustace: [mumbling in annoyance] Stupid guests.
Courage: [sighs; heads into the kitchen] Come on! Come on!
[As the gang follow him to the kitchen, Velma looks back at Eustace for a quick second]
Eustace: [annoyed] Stupid meddling kids.

[Scooby and Courage find a big cicada on Shaggy's back and they all start freaking out, until Muriel was able to whack it off with a broom, making it fly out the back door, into the air, and far away before it hits with an explosion]
Velma: I've never seen cicadas that big before. Maybe it's a new species.
Daphne: Do you think it has anything to do with that strange vibration that Scooby and Courage were hearing?
Velma: It could be. There's definitely something strange going on here. And Scooby and Courage might be picking up sounds that our human ears can't hear.
Muriel: Oh, my! Sounds so interesting. How would you know, dear?
Velma: Well, we humans hear in a range roughly from 31 hertz to 19 kilohertz. Whereas dogs hear in range from 44 hertz to 64 kilohertz. So if I adjust my tablet to pick up any higher levels of sound vibration, we might be able to see what they're actually hearing.
Muriel: Oh, goodness. The things you say. Better than my silly old riddles. Aren't you the smart one.

[A pounding sound is heard at the front door]
Eustace: What now?!
Muriel: Aren't you going to get the door, Eustace?
Eustace: Nope.
Daphne: Uh, I'll get it. [opens the door, looks left and right, then spots an invitation on the ground and picks it up] It's in invitation. "You are all cordially invited to have dinner this evening at the Mayor's mansion. Pets welcome."
Scooby: Pets? Who are they talking about?
[Courage quizzically babbles]
Muriel: The mayor of Nowhere? We have a mayor? Ooh, how lovely.
Eustace: Mayor, shmayor. I didn't vote for him. But free food is free food.
Shaggy: I can't believe I'm agreeing with the angry old dude, but I am. Free food sounds good to me, man.
Scooby-Doo: Me, too. Let's go.
Courage: Mm-hmm.
Velma: Well, maybe the mayor can give us some clues as to why so many weird things are happening here in Nowhere.
Eustace: [walks out of the front door and exclaims in disgust when he sees the Mystery Machine] I'm driving. I'm not riding with you kooky teens. You make me sick!
Muriel: That's a splendid idea. Eustace, why don't you take the two dogs in your truck? They'll love it. [Eustace grumbles grumpily] I'll ride with these fun house painters.
Velma: [chuckles] Mystery solvers.
Muriel: Oh, right. [puts on her seatbelt] That reminds me, I've got another riddle for you.

Eustace: Hey, you three. Guess what?
Scooby, Shaggy and Courage: What?
Eustace: Ooga booga booga!
[As Scooby and Courage scream, they jump into Shaggy's arms as Eustace laughs]
Fred: Stop messing around, guys.

Eustace: [as Scooby makes a tall sandwich] That's just gross. But I'll tell you what is not gross. This! Ooga booga booga! [Scooby, Shaggy and Courage scream as he laughs] It never gets old.

Computer: Hello, Velma Dinkley's tablet-device.
Velma's Tablet: Hello, Courage's computer. How may I help?
Computer: I need to see all of Velma's data.
Velma's Tablet: Of course.
Computer: Well, Velma has done some lovely research. Thanks to you, of course, tablet-device.
Velma's Tablet: Too kind, old-school computer.

Daphne: Now, let's see who this Cicada Monster really is. [unmasks the Cicada Queen, revealing...]
Everyone: The Mayor?!
Muriel: But, why would you do all these horrible things? Naughty boy.
Velma: I fear we're lookin' at someone more sinister and untrustworthy than a politician, if there is such a thing. Hey, Muriel, I've got one for you. When is a mayor not a mayor?
Muriel: Oh, I-I don't think I know that one.
Velma: Then let me show you. [opens the mayor's chest, revealing it to be a robot disguise controlled by two of Courage's enemies, Katz and Le Quack]
Daphne: (gasps) And they are…?
Shaggy: Yeah. Like who are these strange dudes?
Velma: It's Katz and Le Quack! [everyone is confused] Remember? From the museum display?
Everyone: [realizing] Oh. [agreeing as Courage hides behind Muriel]
Velma: They were operating the mayor costume and they were the real villains behind all of this.
Katz: I'm Katz, mastermind and evil genius.
Le Quack: And I am Le Quack, world renowned thief of the most highest skill.
Velma: I had my suspicions, but to be honest, a lot of the clues don't make sense.
Katz: If you would allow me to explain how it all happened, it would be my greatest of pleasures. When I, Katz, discovered--
Le Quack: No, no, no. When I, Le Quack, discovered--
Katz: [sighs] When we discovered that there was a dark matter meteor of intense power, buried somewhere here under Nowhere, we joined forces and worked to get ourselves elected as the mayor.
Le Quack: This gave us the access to all the records of the town.
Katz: Allowing us to locate the right spot to dig. The power of the dark matter meteor has been affecting everything in Nowhere for millions of years.
Le Quack: Oh, oui, oui. And it is the exact center of a map of documented weirdness that only seems to affect Nowhere. It is all because of the meteor. [points to Courage holding the meteor]
Courage: Huh? [turns away]
Katz: We knew the dark matter meteor held unlimited power and once we found it, we harnessed that power to get rich.
Le Quack: Oui, oui. [laughs] We made all those silly rich peoples bring their wealth to the farmhouse, which we planned on the collecting of later.
Katz: But when the gang of mystery-solving teens arrived, we needed to up our game. We found the meteor had different effects by adjusting the modulations. When it spins, it emits a frequency that makes people very open to suggestion. It also affects animals in different ways. [looks at Scooby and Courage] It enabled us to control the giant cicadas to keep you all… out of our business.
Le Quack: Sadly, it did not work so well as we hoped.
Katz: Yes, indeed. We were so close.
Le Quack: We would have been rich. Rich!

Le Quack: And we would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you annoying, meddling teenagers.
Lieutenant: We'll make sure that all the stolen goods are returned to their rightful owners.
General: And we'll take that meteor if you don't mind.

Courage: Well, goodnight folks. Bye!
