Transcript: Ghost Hunt
[Upbeat music plays]
In an animation at night, stars twinkle in the sky over a pink and white castle. Some of the turrets are grey and black, and others are pink and white. Isadora Moon flies up in front of the full moon and waves her wand. She has long black hair, pink bat-like wings, and two sharp fangs. Isadora wears a grey sweater over a pink dress with black stars on the skirt. She wears black and white striped leggings and pink boots.
Children sing, ISADORA MOON, THE ONE AND ONLY, HERE I GO. I'M TOTALLY UNIQUE AND EXTRA-STARRY. WAVING MY WAND, FLYING FEARLESSLY, YEAH.
Isadora stands with her parents, Countess Cordelia Moon and Count Bartholomew Moon. Cordelia has long, curly pink hair and wears flowers in her hair. She has transparent green butterfly-like wings and wears a green sweater and a pink dress. Bartholomew has short black hair and fangs. He wears a long black and purple cape, grey pants, and a grey striped vest over a red shirt.
The children sing, IT'S YOUR GIRL, ISADORA, A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH, HALF A VAMPIRE, HALF A FAIRY.
Isadora holds Pink Rabbit’s paw as she flies. Written by Jen Upton. Theme song by Helen Park. Series Director, William Gordon. Isadora transforms into a mermaid and then into a grey and pink cat. Based on the Isadora Moon Books and Characters by Harriet Muncaster.
The children sing, READY FOR A NEW EXCITING JOURNEY, SPARKLY AND EXTRAORDINARY. YEAH, THAT'S ME, ISADORA. WATCH ME BE.
Title: “Isadora Moon.”
Episode title: “Ghost Hunt.”
During the day, the iron gates in front of a school are shut.
[Door creaking, children giggling, upbeat music plays]
The front doors open, and Sashi, Oliver, J.J., Zoe, and Isadora run into the schoolyard. J.J. carries a soccer ball.
J.J. says, LET'S PLAY.
In the corner of the schoolyard, a woman with swirled white hair points a video camera at the school. She wears a blue sweater and blue pants.
Zoe says, OH. WHIPPY MCFLUFF! I LOVE HER.
Isadora asks, WHAT'S SHE DOING AT SCHOOL?
Zoe says, COME ON, ISADORA.
Whippy holds a microphone and speaks into the camera as Zoe and Isadora arrive behind her. Zoe jumps and poses.
Whippy says, HELLO, AND WELCOME TO MY NEW SHOW, GHOST WATCH.
[Zoe gasping]
Zoe says, SO COOL.
[Children laughing distantly, tense music plays]
Speaking to the camera, Whippy says, YOU'VE JOINED ME AT THIS HISTORICAL SCHOOL, FAMOUS FOR ITS GHOSTS.
Zoe says, OUR SCHOOL HAS GHOSTS? AMAZING.
Isadora says, I THINK I'D KNOW IF OUR SCHOOL WAS HAUNTED.
[Tense music plays]
Whippy pushes Zoe and Isadora aside. Zoe poses and waves.
Speaking to the camera, Whippy says, UGH. I, WHIPPY MCFLUFF, INTREPID GHOST HUNTER, WILL BE SPENDING THE NIGHT HERE PERFORMING A GHOST VIGIL.
[Teacher clearing her throat, needle scratching a record]
A teacher with red hair stands beside the camera. She wears green overalls and a green shirt.
The red-haired teacher asks, WHAT'S GOING ON?
[Teacher grunting]
Whippy pulls the teacher in front of the camera.
Speaking to the camera, Whippy says, AH! AND HERE WE HAVE A TEACHER AT THIS CRUMBLING, ANCIENT SCHOOL. TELL ME. WHAT SUPERNATURAL HAPPENINGS HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED?
[Upbeat music plays]
The red-haired teacher says, EXCUSE ME. THIS SCHOOL MAY BE OLD, BUT IT ISN'T CRUMBLING, AND IT DEFINITELY ISN'T HAUNTED.
[Whippy gasping]
Whippy covers the camera lens.
Whippy quietly says, I KNOW IT'S NOT HAUNTED. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A GHOST. BUT IT LOOKS HAUNTED, AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
Whippy winks at the red-haired teacher. Whippy walks to Zoe and holds out the microphone.
Zoe says, MS. MCFLUFF? ACTUALLY, THERE ARE SUCH THINGS AS GHOSTS.
Isadora says, ZOE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Zoe says, MY FRIEND ISADORA HERE HAS ONE LIVING IN HER ATTIC.
Isadora says, ZOE!
[Whippy gasping]
Speaking to the camera, Whippy says, YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST, FOLKS.
[Slide whistle]
Whippy pushes the red-haired teacher away from the camera.
Speaking to the camera, Whippy says, AN ACTUAL GHOST SIGHTING, AND I AM GOING TO BE FIRST ON THE SCENE TO FILM IT.
Isadora says, OH.
[Soft music plays]
At the Moon castle, Cordelia sits at the dining room table with a cup of tea. Bartholomew stands with Zoe, Isadora, and Pink Rabbit.
Bartholomew says, OH, WHIPPY MCFLUFF? FROM MY FAVOURITE T.V. SHOW, SPONGE AND SPRINKLES?
Zoe says, YES, AND SHE WANTS TO FILM OSCAR FOR HER NEW GHOST-HUNTING SHOW.
[Whooshing]
Oscar appears.
Oscar says, DID SOMEBODY SAY MY NAME?
Bartholomew replies, YES, OSCAR. WE DID. NONE OTHER THAN WHIPPY MCFLUFF WANTS TO MAKE A SHOW ABOUT YOU.
Zoe says, YOU'RE GOING TO BE FAMOUS!
[Upbeat music plays]
Oscar says, FAMOUS? OH, I'VE ALWAYS DREAMT OF BEING A STAR, JUST LIKE ORLANDO GIBBONS.
Isadora asks, WHO?
Oscar says, ORLANDO GIBBONS! YOU KNOW. PRACTICALLY INVENTED THE MADRIGAL. MADRIGAL? IT'S A TYPE OF SONG. REALLY? OH, ALAS.
[Doorbell ringing, gasping]
Isadora says, THAT MUST BE WHIPPY MCFLUFF.
Oscar says, NO. WAIT. I NEED TO PERFECT MY PERFORMANCE.
Zoe says, I'LL HELP. I KNOW ALL ABOUT PERFORMING. MAYBE I CAN DO SOMETHING AND BECOME A STAR, TOO.
[Zoe giggling]
Zoe and Oscar leave the room.
Oscar says, OH, YEAH!
Isadora says, UH, SHOULD SOMEBODY GET THE DOOR?
Bartholomew says, OH, YES. OF COURSE. I DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT ON MY CHANCE AT FAME. WHICH DO YOU THINK IS MY BEST SIDE? HMM OR HMM?
[Smooching]
Cordelia kisses Bartholomew’s cheeks and holds his hand.
Cordelia says, BOTH OF THEM, DARLING.
[Cordelia giggling, whooshing, Bartholomew clearing his throat, doors rattling]
Bartholomew opens the front door, and Whippy waits outside holding her camera.
[Menacing music plays]
Whippy says, HERE I AM, IN THE ACTUAL HAUNTED HOUSE. SO, TELL ME. HOW DO YOU COPE...
[Bartholomew exclaiming]
Whippy points her camera at Bartholomew, and he backs away. Isadora closes the front door.
Whippy continues, WITH THE TERROR OF LIVING IN A HOUSE OF NIGHTMARES?
Bartholomew says, TERROR?
Cordelia says, OH. OUR HOUSE IS GENERALLY QUITE PLEASANT.
Bartholomew says, WE CAN GIVE YOU A TOUR IF YOU LIKE.
Whippy says, EXCELLENT. THIS HOUSE SIMPLY SCREAMS GHOSTS.
Bartholomew whispers, OUR HOUSE DOESN'T SCREAM, DOES IT?
Cordelia whispers, NOT THAT I KNOW OF.
Cordelia says, LET'S START IN MY PLANT ROOM.
Whippy follows Cordelia and Bartholomew. Isadora and Pink Rabbit shrug at each other.
Whippy says, OH.
[Door creaking, upbeat music plays]
In Isadora’s bedroom, Isadora and Pink Rabbit enter as Oscar performs for Zoe.
Isadora says, ZOE, OSCAR. THAT-- HUH?
Oscar sings, OH, THE BEAUTY OF A SPARROW AT MY WINDOW.
Isadora says, OH.
Zoe says, I KNOW, RIGHT?
Oscar says, WHAT'S WRONG? THAT'S MY VERY POPULAR OPERETTA, DON'T YOU KNOW.
[Zoe giggling]
Zoe says, POPULAR 200 YEARS AGO, MAYBE.
Isadora says, WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD SING LIKE THAT. IT'S JUST, UH, WOW.
Oscar says, THANKING YOU, ISADORA.
Oscar sings, WITH ITS BUSHY TAIL AND ITS SHINING EYES.
Zoe says, WHIPPY IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE IN FOR A SURPRISE.
[Zoe and Isadora giggling]
In the plant room, Cordelia holds a pink and green cabbage.
Cordelia says, AND THIS IS A SWAMP CABBAGE. IT HAS WONDERFUL HEALING PROPERTIES, ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE A BIT—
[Sniffing]
Cordelia says, OH.
[Coughing]
Cordelia says, A BIT PUNGENT.
[Cordelia giggling, upbeat music plays]
Whippy says, VERY NICE, I'M SURE, BUT I'M NOT MAKING A GARDENING SHOW.
Cordelia says, OH. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MAKING A GARDENING SHOW?
Bartholomew asks, OR MAYBE AN INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE?
[Clicking]
Whippy turns off her camera.
Whippy replies, UGH. I AM MAKING A GHOST-HUNTING SHOW. I NEED SOMETHING MORE CREEPY. YOU KNOW. COBWEBS AND BATS, THAT SORT OF THING.
Bartholomew says, WELL, WE CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE ANY COBWEBS HERE, BUT BATS? HO-HO. BATS I CAN DO. FOLLOW ME.
Cordelia says, HMM.
[Cordelia sniffing the cabbage]
Cordelia says, WHOA!
[Coughing, whooshing, tense music plays]
Bartholomew flies up into his office at the top of a turret and lands beside a chaise lounge.
Whippy says, NOW, THIS IS MORE LIKE IT.
[Whippy gasping, bat snoring]
Three bats hang sleeping in front of a mirror over a fireplace.
Whippy says, AND GET A LOAD OF THESE BATS!
Bartholomew says, OF COURSE, THEY PREFER TO SLEEP DURING THE DAY.
Whippy asks, CAN YOU WAKE THEM UP?
Bartholomew says, I THINK NOT.
Whippy says, OKAY.
[Upbeat music plays]
In Isadora’s bedroom, Oscar sings, AND GOODBYE TO ITS BRIGHT BUSHY TAIL.
[Clapping, giggling]
Isadora cheers, YAY!
Zoe cheers, GO, OSCAR.
Oscar says, OKAY.
Isadora says, NOW, LET'S GO AND SHOW WHIPPY WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
[Tires screeching]
Oscar says, I CAN'T.
Zoe asks, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
[Light music plays]
Oscar says, OH, WOE! THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS.
Zoe asks, WHAT HAPPENS, OSCAR?
[Whooshing]
Oscar says, IT'S LIKE THE TIME I WAS SUPPOSED TO PERFORM FOR LORD AND LADY BATTENBERG. I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A PIECE OF CAKE, BUT WHEN IT CAME TO THE BIG MOMENT, I FROZE.
At the door, Bartholomew says, WELL, WHIPPY'S LEAVING.
[Isadora gasping, light music plays]
Isadora asks, SHE'S GOING ALREADY?
Bartholomew says, YES. SHE SAID SHE'S FILMED EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS. APPARENTLY, SHE'S GOING TO ADD CREEPY SOUND EFFECTS LATER, WHATEVER THAT MEANS.
Oscar says, ALAS! I WILL NEVER BE FAMOUS.
Zoe says, AND NEITHER WILL I.
Isadora says, ZOE, GO AND FIND WHIPPY, TRY AND STOP HER LEAVING, AND I'LL TRY AND HELP OSCAR GET OVER HIS NERVES.
Zoe says, GREAT. I'LL GIVE HER A SHOW. I'LL BE A STAR BY THE TIME I'M FINISHED.
[Upbeat music plays]
Zoe runs up the turret stairs. In the office, Whippy films the sleeping bats.
Whippy says, UGH.
Zoe says, MS. MCFLUFF? YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY CAN'T GO YET.
[Rustling]
Whippy takes her camera off the stand.
Whippy says, HUMPH.
Zoe says, YOUR FANS WANT YOU TO SEE THIS GHOST. I WANT YOU TO SEE THE GHOST. THE GHOST WANTS YOU TO SEE THE GHOST.
Whippy says, HMM. BOTH YOU AND I KNOW THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS GHOSTS.
[Zoe gasping]
Zoe falls to her knees.
Zoe says, DON'T SAY THAT. I'VE SEEN HIM WITH MY VERY OWN EYES. IMAGINE HOW CRAZY THE AUDIENCE WILL GO IF YOU FILM A REAL, LIVE GHOST.
Zoe stands.
Zoe says, WELL, NOT LIVE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. OOH. I COULD BE YOUR STAR WITNESS. I CAN JUST SEE IT NOW. "YES. IT'S TRUE. IT'S ALL TRUE. I SAW HIM THIS MORNING, GROANING, MOANING, CHAIN RATTLING, SPECTACULAR-NESS." STAY? PLEASE?
Whippy says, OKAY. I COULD PROBABLY DO WITH A BIT MORE BAT ACTION ANYWAY.
[Gentle music plays]
In her bedroom, Isadora says, AND ANOTHER DEEP BREATH. IN THROUGH THE NOSE, AND OUT THROUGH THE MOUTH.
[Oscar hyperventilating]
Oscar flies in a circle and hides his bottom half under the floor.
Oscar says, I CAN'T. WHAT IF I MAKE A MISTAKE AND EMBARRASS MYSELF?
Isadora takes Oscar’s hand and helps him out of the floor.
Isadora says, YOU JUST NEED CONFIDENCE. WHIPPY'S GOING TO FIND YOUR PERFORMANCE REALLY INTERESTING.
In the office, Whippy sits on a stool with her arms crossed.
Zoe says, THERE'S NOT ONLY A GHOST IN THE ATTIC. THERE'S ALSO THE HEADLESS BARON AND THE GLOWING OLD WOMAN. AND THE WAILING SHEEP.
[Zoe imitating a sheep bleating]
Whippy says, YES?
Zoe says, I'LL JUST GO AND HURRY THEM UP.
[Tires screeching, Oscar giggling]
Zoe runs down the turret stairs and runs straight through Oscar.
Zoe says, OH! WHOOPS. SORRY, OSCAR.
Oscar says, THAT'S OKAY. IT RATHER TICKLES, ACTUALLY.
Zoe asks, ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR BIG MOMENT?
Oscar says, WELL, UM, UH—
Isadora says, JUST REMEMBER: WHEN YOU SING, PICTURE A CHEERING CROWD WITH LOTS OF SMILING FACES.
[Oscar inhaling deeply and exhaling]
Oscar says, OKAY.
[Squeaking]
The three bats fly down the staircase and pass Oscar, Zoe, Isadora, and Pink Rabbit. The last bat lands in Isadora’s arms.
Whippy says, COME BACK!
[Whippy exclaiming]
Oscar disappears, and Whippy walks down the stairs with her camera.
Whippy says, I CAN'T WORK WITH THESE AMATEURS. UGH. THAT'S IT. I'M DONE HERE.
[Bat snoring, light music plays]
Zoe says, NO! WAIT.
[Isadora gasping]
Isadora looks down at the sleeping bat in her arms and then walks to Whippy and Zoe.
Isadora says, I'M SORRY. OUR FAMILY GHOST IS FEELING A BIT NERVOUS TODAY.
Whippy says, OH, REALLY?
Isadora says, BUT DON'T WORRY. WE'VE GOT A BACKUP, THOUGH.
Zoe asks, HAVE WE?
Isadora whispers, YEP. I JUST NEED FIVE MINUTES. I PROMISE.
In the office, Whippy checks her hair in the mirror.
Whippy says, BOY, THAT'S NICE.
[Whooshing, tense music plays]
A sheet flies up the staircase and hovers behind her.
Whippy says, WHAT IN THE…
[Gasping]
Whippy grabs her camera and films the flying sheet.
Whippy says, THAT'S A VERY DECORATIVE GHOST.
[Thunking, Isadora gasping]
The sheet hits a chandelier and falls to the floor.
Isadora asks, BORIS, ARE YOU OKAY?
[Bat squeaking, Whippy gasping]
Isadora picks up the sheet and the bat, Boris, flies back to the mirror over the fireplace.
Whippy says, I KNEW IT! YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRICK ME ALL ALONG. I WON'T STAND FOR IT. I'M A PROFESSIONAL.
[Whooshing, light music plays]
Oscar flies up through the floor behind Whippy.
Oscar says, OKAY. DEEP BREATHS. I CAN DO THIS.
[Oscar clearing his throat, Whippy gasping, dramatic music notes play]
Whippy says, OH!
Oscar sings, OH, THE BEAUTY OF A SPARROW AT MY WINDOW.
Whippy says, GHOST! A REAL G-G-GHOST!
Oscar sings, AND ITS SHINING EYES.
[Whippy screaming]
Whippy runs down the turret stairs.
Whippy says, A GHOST!
[Screaming, panting]
Whippy runs out the open front door of the castle.
Whippy says, GHOST!
Cordelia says, COME AGAIN ANYTIME.
[Light music plays]
In the office, Oscar sings, GOODBYE TO ITS BRIGHT BUSHY TAIL.
[Applause]
Isadora, Zoe, and Pink Rabbit clap.
Isadora says, YAY, OSCAR!
Oscar says, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OH, THANK YOU.
Isadora says, YOU DID IT, OSCAR! YOU GOT OVER YOUR NERVES.
Oscar says, I DID, DIDN'T I? AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU, ISADORA.
[The music stops]
Isadora says, ALTHOUGH I AM SORRY WHIPPY NEVER MANAGED TO FILM YOU.
[Light music plays]
Oscar says, AH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. NOW, I'M NO LONGER AFRAID TO SING. I CAN PERFORM FOR YOU ALL ANYTIME YOU WOULD LIKE. OOH, OOH! DO YOU THINK YOUR MUM AND DAD WOULD LIKE TO HEAR "THE BADGER AND THE POT"?
[Upbeat music plays]
Oscar sings, THERE ONCE WAS A BADGER WITH A RUMBLING TUM, HE ATE ALL THE CABBAGE, HAD A RUMBLING…
Isadora asks, UM, OSCAR? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF POP MUSIC?
[Zoe, Isadora, and Oscar laughing, popping, upbeat music plays]

Oscar disappears, and Whippy walks down the stairs with her camera.
Whippy says, I CAN'T WORK WITH THESE AMATEURS. UGH. THAT'S IT. I'M DONE HERE.
[Bat snoring, light music plays]
Zoe says, NO! WAIT.
[Isadora gasping]
Isadora looks down at the sleeping bat in her arms and then walks to Whippy and Zoe.
Isadora says, I'M SORRY. OUR FAMILY GHOST IS FEELING A BIT NERVOUS TODAY.
Whippy says, OH, REALLY?
Isadora says, BUT DON'T WORRY. WE'VE GOT A BACKUP, THOUGH.
Zoe asks, HAVE WE?
Isadora whispers, YEP. I JUST NEED FIVE MINUTES. I PROMISE.
In the office, Whippy checks her hair in the mirror.
Whippy says, BOY, THAT'S NICE.
[Whooshing, tense music plays]
A sheet flies up the staircase and hovers behind her.
Whippy says, WHAT IN THE…
[Gasping]
Whippy grabs her camera and films the flying sheet.
Whippy says, THAT'S A VERY DECORATIVE GHOST.
[Thunking, Isadora gasping]
The sheet hits a chandelier and falls to the floor.
Isadora asks, BORIS, ARE YOU OKAY?
[Bat squeaking, Whippy gasping]
Isadora picks up the sheet and the bat, Boris, flies back to the mirror over the fireplace.
Whippy says, I KNEW IT! YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO TRICK ME ALL ALONG. I WON'T STAND FOR IT. I'M A PROFESSIONAL.
[Whooshing, light music plays]
Oscar flies up through the floor behind Whippy.
Oscar says, OKAY. DEEP BREATHS. I CAN DO THIS.
[Oscar clearing his throat, Whippy gasping, dramatic music notes play]
Whippy says, OH!
Oscar sings, OH, THE BEAUTY OF A SPARROW AT MY WINDOW.
Whippy says, GHOST! A REAL G-G-GHOST!
Oscar sings, AND ITS SHINING EYES.
[Whippy screaming]
Whippy runs down the turret stairs.
Whippy says, A GHOST!
[Screaming, panting]
Whippy runs out the open front door of the castle.
Whippy says, GHOST!
Cordelia says, COME AGAIN ANYTIME.
[Light music plays]
In the office, Oscar sings, GOODBYE TO ITS BRIGHT BUSHY TAIL.
[Applause]
Isadora, Zoe, and Pink Rabbit clap.
Isadora says, YAY, OSCAR!
Oscar says, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OH, THANK YOU.
Isadora says, YOU DID IT, OSCAR! YOU GOT OVER YOUR NERVES.
Oscar says, I DID, DIDN'T I? AND IT'S ALL THANKS TO YOU, ISADORA.
[The music stops]
Isadora says, ALTHOUGH I AM SORRY WHIPPY NEVER MANAGED TO FILM YOU.
[Light music plays]
Oscar says, AH, THAT'S ALL RIGHT. NOW, I'M NO LONGER AFRAID TO SING. I CAN PERFORM FOR YOU ALL ANYTIME YOU WOULD LIKE. OOH, OOH! DO YOU THINK YOUR MUM AND DAD WOULD LIKE TO HEAR "THE BADGER AND THE POT"?
[Upbeat music plays]
Oscar sings, THERE ONCE WAS A BADGER WITH A RUMBLING TUM, HE ATE ALL THE CABBAGE, HAD A RUMBLING…
Isadora asks, UM, OSCAR? HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF POP MUSIC?
[Zoe, Isadora, and Oscar laughing, popping, upbeat music plays]

Children sing, A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH, HALF A VAMPIRE, HALF A FAIRY. READY FOR A NEW, EXCITING JOURNEY, SPARKLY AND EXTRAORDINARY. YEAH, THAT'S ME, ISADORA. WATCH ME BE.
