== The Rat Trap/Let me be good to you ==
(The scene changes where an anxious Toby looks down on the docks.)

Basil: (whispers) Stay, Toby, stay.

(Then we pan to Basil who's now dressed like a sailor.) 

Dr. Dawson: Uh, Basil?

Basil: Come, come, Dawson.

Dr. Dawson: I feel utterly ridiculous. (comes out as he struggles to tug in his shirt since it was too small)

Basil: Don't be absurd, you look perfect.

Dr. Dawson: Perfect? Perfectly foolish.

Basil: (shushes Dawson; to our heroes) You kids stay out here. When we find our peg-legged suspect, we'll let you know.

Heroes: Okay, Basil.

Shaggy Roger: Uh, one question, though. Why are we staying outside while Basil and Dawson get to go in and enjoy themselves? Scoob and I would love to go in and have a delicious burger in there.

Scooby-Doo: Yeah! (slurps)

Misty: Because, Shaggy,....they don't allow kids in the pub. It says so on that sign right there. See? (points to the sign that says "No kids allowed") So, we don't have much of a choice.

Fred: And Basil said that those guys are low life ruffians.

Brock: So, our job is to wait outside until it is safe for us to enter and follow Fidget to Ratigan's lair.

(Basil and Dr. Dawson enter the pub the octopus juggles on stage while the player plays the piano. The male mice drink beer and one of them was tickled by the barmaid, he makes kissing sounds attempting to flirt with her in response she gave him the slap.)

Basil: Dawson, stay close and do as I do.

(Basil and Dr. Dawson act like ruffians and they walk in as the male mice stare at them. Suddenly a blade comes flying at Dr. Dawson and he bumps into the lady behind him.)

Dr. Dawson: Oh, I do beg your pardon, madam. Quite unintentional. (she blew smoke into his face which caused him to cough) I assure you. (the lady and the two men laugh at him as they play their game) (appalled) How impertinent!

Basil: Remember, Dawson, we're low-life ruffians.

Dr. Dawson: Well, I was until...

(Basil shushes him as they take their seats, Dr. Dawson still sore with the woman gives a haughty nod. On stage the octopus nearly finished his dance as the lowlife are not enjoying the performance which made the pianist nervous. The octopus gives a bow and he felt surprised as Dr. Dawson applauds while the lowlife, on the other hand, angrily booed.)

Lowlife: Get off, you eight-legged bum!

(The lowlife started throwing stuff at the octopus as he scurries off the stage. Our heroes watch it all from the window.)

Cera: Sheesh! Tough crowd.

Barmaid: What's your pleasure, mates?

Dr. Dawson: Uh... I'll have a dry sherry with... perhaps a twist of- (gets silenced by Basil)

Basil: (gruff voice) Two pints for me and my shipmate. Oh, by the way. We just got into port. We're looking for a friend of mine. Maybe you know him. Goes by the name of Ratigan.

(The barmaid, lowlife and the piano player gasped in shock.)

Barmaid: I've never heard of him.

Basil: If it isn't our peg-legged friend. Dawson. (chuckles) What luck! Dawson? Dawson!

-

Basil: Dawson, Dawson! (slaps him to wake up up)

Dr. Dawson: What in Heaven's name is going on?!

Basil: I've spotted our peg legged- (Fidget is gone) Come on, old fellow, there's not a moment to lose!

(Basil goes for the door.)

Basil: All right, kids, the coast is clear. Let's go!

-

Basil: Come on, kids. Quickly now before these hooligans see you.

-

Ash Ketchum: Geez, you weren't kidding about those guys being lowlife ruffians, Basil!

Basil: Shh! Save the small talk later and keep going!

(As Basil, Dr. Dawson and the heroes enter the sewer they see Fidget singing "Let me be good to you." as he crawls into the pipe.)

Misty: Ugh, the sewer is disgusting down there!

Basil: Shh! Just go with the flow, Misty.
