he likes books.
You good?
Uh-huh.
Dealer takes three.
Well, I don't know.
He's been around forever.
He sticks to himself. Hmm. Why?
Well, Garrett and I went up
to the library today,
and he seemed a little strange.
[Murmurs]
You'll get no argument from me there.
[Chuckles]
Your bet.
Okay, but one question first.
Mm-hmm.
What do you call it again
when you have all the same suit,
and they're all in order?
A straight fiush.
Oh. Yeah, that's right.
Okay, then.
I bet all of this.
[Sighs]
Take it.
You bluffed me.
- Oh, man. I cannot believe it.
- I learned from the best.
Torched by a teenager.
I am losing my touch.
And to think, I'm only 12.
Yeah.
I'm going up to bed.
Hey, don't eat all those.
We're playing again tomorrow.
Okay.
You know,
Camp Freddy's not so bad.
- Better than the Bahamas?
- Well, I wouldn't go that far.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Hey, Beethoven.
- [Murmurs]
Know what a royal fiush is?
- Then I'm not playing you either.
- [Murmurs]
[Rustling]
[Murmurs]
[Growling]
[Murmurs]
[Barks]
[Beethoven Howling]
[Barking]
[Barking Continues]
- [Beethoven Whining]
- What is it, boy?
[Beethoven Growling]
[Barking]
- What happened?
- I think Beethoven just scared off a burglar.
[Barks]
I heard him howl.
That could have meant it was the ghosts.
- Mmm, no, I don't think so.
- Is anything missing?
I don't know.
I don't even know what I have.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
TheJackson 10 is missing.
And look.
- They left this in its place.
- [Beethoven Murmurs]
[Julie]
This treasure hunting
has gotten out ofhand.
So, as far as you know,
nothing else was missing?
Well, no, as far as I know.
L... I think.
The ghost took it.
How else do you explain the fiower?
Any idea how they got in?
Yeah, uh, they got in
through the window,
which I left open.
It... It's a hot night.
[Sara]
But what about Beethoven?
He was howling.
Beethoven never howls.
Honey, listen.
Don't worry about this.
I mean, we've got Beethoven
here to protect us,
we've got
my trusty Louisville Slugger,
and SheriffJulie is only
a phone call away.
We're gonna be safe.
Don't worry.
I know.
It's just a little freaky. That's all.
Hey, listen.
Don't you worry about it.
If anybody tries to come in here,
I'll do my very best
Mark McGwire impersonation,
and I'll...
[Murmurs]
And I will, uh, at that point...
call SheriffJulie to help.
You see.
Your uncle will take good care of ya.
I better get back to the station.
- Well, I, uh...
- [Murmurs]
[Stammering]
[Beethoven Murmurs]
Okay.
Uh, Julie.
Uh, I was wondering if...
you... would...
uh, you wanted us
to go to the station with you?
Oh, no. That won't be necessary.
I have everything I need for the moment.
Keep up the good work, Beethoven,
and I might have to deputize you.
- [Barks]
- He's great.
[Sighs]
[Beethoven Murmuring]
I know. I know.
I chickened out.
What's the point? She's not gonna
go out with a slob like me.
- [Murmurs]
- Well, why don't you
ask her out, Mr. Cool?
[Murmuring]
Hey, no, no, no, no, no.
You already had yours.
No, no, no, no, no.
This is mine.
You know, everyone in town
has a motive for stealing that money.
[Woman]
You idiot!
What are you gonna gamble away next?
One of the kids?
And Phil owes
everyone in town money.
- That gives him a motive.
- And it's obvious
Owen doesn't believe in fioods.
I mean, he's probably
been looking for the money all the time.
Then there's Stu.
We know he'll do anything for money.
[Murmurs]
[Coins Jingle]
[Rings]
[Whistling]
And then... Evie Kling.
There's a good girl.
There's a good girl.
Who can trust anybody
with a dog that irritating?
And then there's Mr. Giles.
I mean, hoarding
all those Rita and Moe books.
And it's always gonna bother me...
that the day I tell him
we have theJackson $ 10 bill,
it's stolen.
I mean, what's up with that?
[Murmuring]
True. Something's going on there.
- You know what we need,
