- Fred: Way to go, gang. Who's been served now, huh?
- Danny: I won't deny it, you are a worthy opponent.
- Fred: Gee, thanks. You're not bad yourself.
- Danny: Was that a gage burrow strategy you used back there?
- Fred: You recognized it? You know, I thought at first I'd go with the Orpheus proposition, but I didn't have any milk.
- Velma: (interrupts Fred) Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt, but what's the big idea trying to kill us? And what's with this thing?
- Danny: My treasure! I thought you had returned to steal it.
- Daphne: Returned? I think you have us confused with the original Mystery Inc.
- Danny: Say, now that you mention it, you don't look anything like I remember you. Especially that parrot over there.
- Scooby: Thank you.
- Danny: I've made a terrible, terrible mistake. What has become of me? I suppose it started that Halloween night. My family came upon a mysterious artifact, a key to finding the great cursed treasure rumored to lie beneath Crystal Cove. It corrupted us with greed. I had just gotten my hands on it when the earth shook and swallowed our entire house. My loved ones grew old and passed all around me, but I hardly even noticed. Then, those meddling kids showed up. They were after my treasure. I knew it! So I spied on them. And I booby-trapped the whole house in ways that would prey upon their weaknesses. Eh, but they left.
- Daphne: So you've been waiting for them to come back all this time?
- Danny: Truth be told, I kind of lost track. Has it really been that long? How do I look? Haven't let myself go, have I?
- Fred: Uh, no.
- Scooby: You look fine.
- Daphne: I love what you've done with your hair.
- Danny: My whole life has been a waste. (sits in the chair, dodges the booby-trap arrow launched by crossbow and laughs) That's one of my earlier models.
- (The Mansion begins rumbling and collapsing)
- Shaggy: What's going on?
- Danny: All those traps going off must have awaken the area's fault line. (falls on the floor broken in half)
- Fred: Quick, grab my hand!
- Danny: Don't worry about me! (The gang watches the ceiling breaking outside) Now's your chance for escape.
- Velma: But your treasure?
- Danny: (last words) Keep it! And may it bring you more happiness than it ever brought me. (The ceiling is still breaking, the light shines outside) Now, through that crevice before it's too late!
- (The gang escapes the Mansion collapsed leaving Danny Darrow alone)
- Daphne: After all that, he saved us.
- Velma: Or did we save him?
- Shaggy: Yeah. Like, he did say this wedge was...
- Scooby: Cursed.
- Fred: Whatever it is, it's our responsibility now. The question is, are there other pieces out there? And if there are, who else is looking for them?
- (Suddenly, Ash looks at a car closely and sees Mayor Jones in it watching the gang from the car window and drives away.)
- Ash Ketchum: (quietly) Mayor Jones?
- (The episode ends.)
