long time.
Come on, boy.
Hey!
The Saga Of The Seligs.
Hey, Garrett, this is it!
I'll take that.
But...
Let's go.
Come on, Beethoven.
- (Garrett) What's he taking it up there for?
- I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
So, what do you know about
Mr Giles the librarian?
Giles? I don't know.
I'll go out on a limb
and say he likes books.
- You good?
- Uh-huh.
Dealer takes three.
I don't know. He's been around forever.
He sticks to himself.
Why?
Garrett and I went up to the library today
and he seemed a little strange.
You'll get no argument from me there!
- Your bet.
- OK. But one question first.
What do you call it again when you have
all the same suit and they're all in order?
A straight flush?
Oh, yeah. That's right.
OK, then I bet all of this.
Take it.
You bluffed me.
Oh, man, I cannot believe it.
- Learn from the best.
- Torched by a teenager.
- And to think I'm only 12!
- Yeah.
- I'm going up to bed.
- We're playing again tomorrow.
OK.
You know, Camp Freddy's not so bad.
- Better than the Bahamas?
- Well, I wouldn't go that far.
- Good night.
- Night.
Hey, Beethoven.
Know what a royal flush is?
- Then I'm not playing you either.
- (sighs)
(window screens bang)
(ghostly whispering)
(whispering)
(howls)
(barks)
(growls and barks)
(whines)
What is it, boy?
- What happened?
- I think Beethoven scared off a burglar.
I heard him howl.
That could have meant it was the ghost.
- 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.
The Jackson ten is missing.
And look. They left this in its place.
This treasure hunting has got out of hand.
So nothing else was missing?
Well... no. As far as I know. I think.
The ghost took it.
How else do you explain the flower?
- Any idea how they got in?
- Yeah.
They got in through the window,
which I left open.
- It's a hot night.
- What about Beethoven? He was howling.
Beethoven never howls.
Honey... listen. Don't worry about this.
We've got Beethoven to protect us,
we've got my Louisville slugger,
and Sheriff Julie
is only a phone call away.
We're going to 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
Mark McGuire impersonation and I'll...
And I will at that point...
call Sheriff Julie to help.
You see? Your uncle
will take good care of you.
I'd better get back to the station.
Well, I...
I...
(Beethoven sighs)
OK.
Uh, Julie...
Uh...
I was wondering if... you... would...
you wanted us to go
to the station with you.
That won't be necessary.
I have everything I need for the moment.
Keep up the good work, Beethoven...
and I might have to deputise you.
He's great.
(Beethoven sighs)
I know, I know. I chickened out.
But what's the point? She's not going to
go out with a slob like me.
Well, why don't you ask her out, Mr Cool?
Hey, no, no, no. You already had yours.
No, no, no. This is mine.
You know, everyone in town has
a motive for stealing that money.
You idiot! What are you going to
gamble away next? One of the kids?
Phil owes everyone in town money.
That gives him a motive.
It's obvious Owen
doesn't believe in floods.
He's probably been looking
for the money all the time.
And then there's Stu.
We know he'll do anything for money.
(phone rings)
(whistles)
- And then, Evie Kling.
- Who'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 the day I tell him we have
the Jackson ten-dollar bill, it's stolen.
I mean, what's up with that?
True. Something's going on there.
- You know what we need, Uncle Freddy?
- What?
We need a personal tour of that
Special Collections room of his.
Here's the deal.
