# Casper: A Spirited Beginning

Casper: A Spirited Beginning is a 1997 direct-to-video prequel to the 1995 film Casper.

## Casper

* "Welcome to Deedstown." Hmm. This looks like a quiet place. I hope someone here can help me.
* A ghost? Where? Ah, he must be seeing things.
* I don't see any ghost. Me? I'm no ghost.
* My feet! I am a ghost! NO!!!

## Kibosh

* Did you say "missing", you little runt?
* I'm in charge here and nobody skips training, especially little snot noses named Carter!
* Silence!
* Now, about this Caster.
* I HAVE no blood!
* This better be important.
* I hate guessing!
* You'd better not be wrong.
* A human teaching haunted techniques? It's unorthodox! It's... it's unheard of! It's... (Snivel: Un-American?) disgusting! Keep your eye on them. I'm on my way.
* Silence! I've been searching for you slackers far too long!
* Once I grab that brat Capper, it's back to processing for all of you for some radical retraining.
* Make sure you four never darken my tomb again. Hahahahahaha!

## Tim Carson

* That's it! You have a overactive imagination, it is time to grow up!

## Dialogue

    Kibosh: I'm in charge here and nobody skips training, especially little snot noses named Carter!
    Snivel: That's uh, Casper, sir.
    Kibosh: Silence! When I want your help, I'll beat it out of you!
    Snivel: Of course, oh mellow one.
    Kibosh: Now, about this Caster.
    Snivel: Casper. Sorry.
    Kibosh: How would it look if I, the mighty Kibosh, let some wide-eyed rookie run loose without any schooling?
    Snivel: Very embarrassing, sir.
    Kibosh: Embarrassing? It's disgraceful! Almost as bad as losing track of those three worm-headed deserters! What were their names?
    Snivel: Stinky, Stretch and uh... Fatso, sir.
    Kibosh: When I find those slackers, I'll tie a sheepshank on their bedsheet butts!
    Snivel: Your blood pressure, oh stupendous one.
    Kibosh: I have no blood! Now, find me this Casper and bring his sorry hooky-playing tush back here immediately!
    Snivel: I'm outta here...
    Kibosh: This better be important.
    Snivel: [on the payphone] Casper's in Deedstown and you'll never guess who's with him!
    Kibosh: I HATE GUESSING! [he slams his table] Snivel?
    Snivel: I'm sorry, your playful one. How foolish of me. The answer is the Ghostly Trio.
    Kibosh: You better not be wrong.
    Snivel: There's more! They're teaching Casper their own unorthodox... oh, may I say illegal ghostly techniques. They hope to use Casper to put you in your place.
    Kibosh: Don't even say those words! Those halloweenies can't out-teach me! Check on their progress. I want a full report tomorrow.
    Kibosh: Oh, it's worse. Way worse!
    The Ghostly Trio: Kibosh!?
    Kibosh: Count on it!
    Snivel: See? I told you they were here. I caught 'em red-handed!
    Kibosh: So, where is Chrysler?
    Snivel: Casper. Um, he's uh...
    Kibosh: Find him!
    Snivel: Ow! Yes, your backhandedness!
    Stinky: Big K. What a surprise!
    Stretch: You're looking eh... trim.
    Kibosh: Silence! I've been searching for you slackers far too long!
    Stretch: Not the cage!
    Stinky: I hate the cage!
    Fatso: No legroom!
    Kibosh: Now to find your little protege Kanker. Hahahahaha!
