Scooby Doo and friends (including Scrappy) arrive at a spooky old factory on the coast where the new owners are having trouble renovating as their workers are getting scared by a ghost. When they arrive, they are greeted by a terse grounds-keeper who offers some brief information as to the layout of the site.
Scooby Doo, Scrappy Doo and Shaggy roam the abandoned factory cells, occasionally being chased by the spooky ghost. 15 minutes of low quality and derivative entertainment ensue. Scrappy and Scooby lose Shaggy and as they wander about looking for him they have a most unusual discussion.
Scrappy turns to Scooby and says; "When I find the ghost that took Shaggy, I'm going to splat 'im!"
Scooby doo, in a rare moment of clarity, raises an eyebrow and remarks; "Zoinks! What if it's actually an old guy in a mask like it has been on the previous 371 consecutive occasions and you end up pummelling an octogenarian!?"
"Hmm" Scrappy stopped and pondered a spider crawling inside a dusty metal tube for a moment before kicking it into the dark shadows of the cell. "I guess it'll be a lot easier then? The ghost, pensioner or no, made the choice to abduct our friend and in so doing brought himself into direct conflict with myself. Quite frankly, the definition between supernatural kidnapper or corporeal kidnapper seems irrelevant."
"Gadzooks! My meaning was that we may be dealing with a flesh and blood human with thoughts, needs, drives and emotions rather than some cardboard cut-out, ephemeral, entity. Also Shaggy may simply have fallen down a chute and the ghost is unrelated to his disappearance. We just don't know."
"So that's your line!?" Scrappy rounded on Scooby, throwing his paws up in the air as he railed. "Appeasement! You said the same thing during the fucking missile crisis! We are here to solve the problem of the ghost. In so doing we may have lost our valuable colleague, but that does not render our primary motivating factor impotent. So FUCK you Scooby! Just let me at 'im, let me at 'im!"
Scrappy started shadow boxing in a circle. The irony was not lost on Scooby, but he said nothing. "Rrrooow Noooo. I continue to respect, then as now, your adherence to your principles to the point of entering nuclear holocaust. I am merely suggesting that your range of options may not take into account the sheer width of alternative actions that exist. After all, if it is a ghoul with the ability to drain your life force with but a touch, or annihilate all life on the planet in a nuclear firestorm, then alternative action to confrontation should be considered. Such as running away for instance."
"Bah, you just have no faith. We could' a taken them Ruskies, they didn't have the range. Would' a made the world a lot simpler."
"If by simpler you mean uninhabitable then I agree with you. Anyway, this doesn't help us find Shaggy."
Just then Shaggy appeared, covered in dust but beaming, from a door on the other side of the cell. "Guys!" he called, "come this way! I found the canteen!"
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy" Scooby jabbered as he hurtled towards the door.

Scooby never said oh boy oh boy oh boy, or zoinks or gazooks or any of that. That was all Shaggy. Scooby in fact was limited to few words and would often use gestures to try and convey things to the others. I couldn't in good consience give a +2 to somthing so poorly researched.

no such thing as 'Australian English' they tend to just take the english language and put 'azza' onto each word.

I hated scrappy too. I used to call him Scrappy poo.
By which I mean that I used to refer to him in conversation as Scrappy Poo. I never actually met Scrappy Doo in real life.

Doesn't Shaggy usually say 'Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy' not Scooby?
FAIL!
