- (The episode begins at the Bagge's house in the middle of nowhere, with Courage snoring on Muriel's chair while Eustace Bagge watches TV, he begins swithcing channels with the remote)
- Eustace: Ehhh! Ain't nothin' on....nothin' to watch...Nothin'!
- (Muriel Bagge runs to Courage and Eustace in excitement)
- Muriel: Oh my! I've Won! I've Won! I've won a sitar contest! (Reads the contest winner paper) I get to play my sitar on stage at Radio City Music Hall!
- Courage: Yes! (He jumps on her rocking chair)
- Eustace: Who cares? There ain't nothin' to watch! (He keeps switching channels with his remote)
- Muriel: Boys, we're going to New York City!
- (Cuts to new york city, the bus drops off Eustace, Muriel, and Courage, Courage is shuddering in fear while Eustace was eating a Hot Dog with no ketchup or mustard)
- Eustace: This ain't no place for me, I belong in my chair!
- (Di Lung walks and shoves Eustace with his shoulder, resulting him dropping his Hot Dog)
- Eustace: Hey!
- Di Lung: Watch where ya goin', ya fool! (He walks off)
- Eustace: Watch where you're going, ya fool!
- Muriel: You see, Eustace? You're fitting in already.
- Eustace: Ehh!
- Muriel: Now I wonder where the entrance is? Hmmm...
- (Courage whimpers, he saw a mysterious character who looks like a cockroach behind the music hall)
- Cockroach: Psst! Psst!
- (Courage gasps as he tugs Muriel's skirts, scared)
- Cockroach: The show don't go on for hours, but I can get you in real quick-like.
- Courage: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
- Muriel: There it is! (She points to the back stage door where the Cockroach is, she, Eustace, and Courage walks to the door) Now, aren't you glad I won the contest?
- Eustace: Who cares?!
- Cockroach: You won a contest? Then you can came in the special artists' entrance.
- Courage: No... (He shakes his head)
- Eustace: I ain't going through no door, I don't know what's on the other side!
- Cockroach: I got hot dogs!
- Eustace: (Shrugs his shoulders) Works for me!
- (They went insidde the backstage door and so does the Cockroach as Courage whimpers in fear, giving Muriel's skirt a tug, the door slammed shut. Inside the elevator, Courage is even more frightened, whimpered even more. The elevator gate closes)
- Muriel: How exciting! I love show business!
- (The elevator moves down)
- Cockroach: By the way, Name's Buschwick, but call me Schwick. Just Shwick, don't ever call me Bushwick, just Shwick.
- Muriel: Where are you from?
- Schwick: Buschwick, you can call that Buschwick...but not me. Me, you call Shwick, just Shwick.
- (Courage whimpers as he shuddered his teeth in fear, he imagines Muriel getting her head eaten by Schwick as Courage whimpers in horror. Courage screams as the elevator goes down. The elevator dings as it stops. Scene cuts to Schwick next to a door in which the sign says "DANGER! BEWARE!")
- Schwick: This over here is the rehearsal room.
- (Courage whimpers, having him seen and read the sign, Schwick then flips the sign in which the sign on the back reads "REHEARSAL ROOM. DON'T BE SCARED!" with a smiley face on the bottom. Muriel has seen and read the sign)
- Muriel: Such a warm welcome.
- (But this isn't a warm welcome as we think, Courage whimpers as a mouse squeaking was heard, bones, chains, a table with glasses and bottles, a red chair, a single TV, and a dirt window with the words "HELP" on it, and a couch was in the "Rehearsal" room. That makes Courage worried even more.)
- Muriel: Homey.
- Eustace: Where's the hot dogs?!
- Schwick: So this here's the rehearsal room, you can rehearse, just rehearse.
- Muriel: This is just fine.
- Eustace: If you're dead. (Eustace looks at the TV hanging on the ceiling) Hey, a TV! You got a remote?
- (Schwick than walks to a skeleton holding a remote, he snatches it from its hand as he shattered the skeleton to pieces.)
- Schwick: 2000 channels. Go ahead, knock yourself out.
- (Eustace takes a seat as he switches channels faster than he does at home)
- Eustace: Make that hot-dog a football.
- Muriel: (She sits on the floor with her sitar as Courage shuddered in fear) I'd better get to practicing for the big show tonight. (She starts playing her Sitar for rehearsal, Schwick walks to Courage)
- Courage: OOOOOHH!!
- Schwick: Listen, I got an errand that needs some runnin', and I can't leave the premises because I got sweeping to do. (He takes out an indigo envelope and hands it to Courage) Go to that address, There'll be a package waiting there. You bring that package back to me by curtain time or it's curtains for the sitar lady.
- Courage: Ehhh... (He shakes as he nervously takes the envelope)
- Schwick: (He points to the door) You see that door? You wanna know what's behind that door?
- (The door shows a pet door that looks like a mouse door all locked up, there were bones seen on the ground)
- Schwick: You don't wanna know what's behind that door. (He points down to the bones) You see these bones? (Roaring sound was heard) You wanna know what made these bones?
- (Courage nods his head to Schwick)
- Schwick: You don't wanna know what made these bones. (He pats Courage's head) I'm sending your kid out for some coffee. (He points Courage to the rehearsal room's exit) GO!
- (Courage, who was holding an envelope, leaves the room as he whimpers)
- Schwick: And no cops!
- (Cuts to new york city outside at night, there were signs seen including a stoplight as Courage looks at them and so does the envelope, checking it out.)
- Man: (Off-Screen) Need some help?
- (Courage turns to see a policeman as he screams)
- Courage: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! (He runs away in the street)
- Policeman: Hmmmm...
- (Courage ran in the street and jumps to a carriage, in which a rat is riding on. He whip cracks a horse has he neighs, the horse started running as Courage screams again, taking a horse carriage ride. He was thrown out of the carriage and stops by a red, condemed apartment with Gargolyes on them. He gets up from being thrown out as he holds his envelope once again, he looks at the apartment then turns to the viewer)
- Courage: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
- (Cuts to Courage wandering around in the red apartment alone, the doors were seen and arguments were heard. Curage walks to the first door, he opens it to reveal to be King Ghidorah from the Godzilla movie franchise roaring, he slamms it shut as he screams in fear. )
- Courage: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
- (Courage ran upstairs to see the next door, he opens it to reveal a shark, growling at Courage, he slams another one shut)
- Courage: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
- (Courage ran to another steps of stairs, he sighs as he heard an innocent, soothing violin music inside another door)
- Courage: I just know something bad is going to happen...
- (He whimpers and closes his eyes as he opens a door...to reveal that the violin music comes from young girl wearing a dress and a hairbow on her long, blonde hair, who was practicing her violin while sitting on a stool on a blue empty room)
- Courage: Huh?
- (Courage looks at the Violin Girl as he sighs in relief, then the Violin Girl turned to Courage as she reveals her huge, freaky face with flying hair, mouth with widely spaced teeth, and buggy bloodshot eyeballs, roaring at him)
- Violin Girl: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGGHHH!!!
- Courage: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! (He slams the door)
- (Courage run upstairs to the last door scared, the door with a metal sign that said "PACKAGE IS HERE STOOPID.", He shakes and whimpers in fear as he knocks the door. He was sucked in the door as it slammed shut, Courage whimpers and creature growling and whimpering sounds were heard, then Courage was out of the door and he got a black package with a ribbon on it and chains around them. Courage went outside of the Apartment)
- Courage: Things I do for love.
- (Courage runs with the package, the policeman rides a hobby horse on the street. He stops as a neighing sound is heard, he looks back.)
- Policeman: Hmmmm....
- (Cuts to a green subway train with litter everywhere on the floor, Courage is holding a package with a sleeping giraffe wearing a jacket next to him, drooling. Courage saw a newspaper lying on the side of a giraffe, reading "EVIL PACKAGE STILL AT LARGE." Courage gasps as he gulps, knowing the package was evil. Then the police opens the sliding subway door as Courage rips off and eats the nametag and swallows it, the policeman watches him.)
- Policeman: Hmmmm.....
- (Courage chuckles nervously, as he opens the sliding door and went inside another station as the Police follows him. Courage on the next station, looks at the police from behind the pole, he hides in as the policeman opens the door and went inside as he holds the train handle)
- Policeman: Hmmmm....
- (The train stops as Courage, who was holding a donut with white frosting on it, whistling at the cop as the cop pants like a dog. He fetches him outside of the train as the police barks like a dog, following the donut. The sliding door closes as courage sits on a train station seat next to another door. Courage sighs in relief, he looks to see the policeman, with frosting on his mouth, climbing into a subway window to see Courage with the package. Courage gasps in a shock. Meanwhile back at the "rehearsal" room while Muriel is busy playing her sitar, Eustace is watching a man in striped pajamas with an umbrella, arguing with Schwick over Briefs and Bokers.)
- Eustace: Briefs!
- Schwick: (Pokes Eustace's chest) Boxers.
- Eustace: Briefs!
- Schwick: Boxers.
- Eustace: (Rips his overall in half to reveal his magenta briefs) BRIEFS!
- Schwick: BOXERS! (Rips his shell open to reveal his neon yellow boxers with neon green hearts around them. Muriel saw the two in their underwear as she whistles like a wolf in awe)
- (Cuts back at the subway train, the outside view of the train is seen on the tracks, then cuts to Courage, who still has the evil package, at the end of the station. The door at the end was locked and courage was struggling but unable to open it. The cop kept following him, Courage tried to open the locked handle, he gasped and whimpered that the police is coming closer. Then the Subway Driver saw the package that Courage was holding)
- Subway Driver: It's the evil package! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! (He jumps out the window as Courage ran to the seat that the driver used to sit on, he saw what the driver jumped out of the window)
- Policeman: Okay, let's see your license and registration.
- (Courage whimpers to the police as he points to what happened to the driver, the police turned to see. He began to think)
- Policeman: Hmmmm....there's no driver! (He was shocked) RUNAWAY TRAAAAAAAINN!!!
- (Courage jumps out of the window and into the subway station. Courage sigh in relief, but saw the runaway train as he imagines a pile of crashed trains, knowing it would be next as he whimpers and shudders, feeling worried. He ran into the back of the Train window, shattering it when he jumps in. Inside the train, the Policeman is panicking.)
- Policeman: Runaway train! Runaway train!
- (Courage then returns with the package to what used to be the Subway Driver's seat, he puts down the evil package and sit on it.)
- Female computer voice: Welcome to the nuclear-powered, computerized bullet train.
- (Courage gasped in surprise and shock.)
- Female computer voice: Sit back, relax and...
- Male computer voice: HANG ON FOR YOUR LIFE!!
- Courage: (With a handle, steering it like crazy) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!
- (Back at the rehearsal room, Muriel is still busy practicing her sitar, both Eustace and Schwick were watching a man shaving his leg on TV)
- Schwick: When you're right, you're right. Yours are longer.
- Eustace: Told ya so. (The two heard knocking on the door)
- Woman: (Off-Screen) Five minutes to show time!
- Schwick: Your son better be back here scan with my coffee.
- (Then, they heard rumbling noises, the train bursts out of the floor as Courage screams on top of his lungs)
- Muriel: You can always trust my Courage to get the job done!
- (The train crashes throughout the entire Music Hall, ending with the train's back door)
- Man over PA: Radio City Music Hall, Last stop!
- (The back door falls off, revealing Courage with a package. Bird tweeting sounds are heard as Courage sighs in relief)
- Muriel: Courage, you made it back just in time for my performance.
- (Schwick takes the evil package, which contains nothing more than a window squeegee that Schwick needs to wipe away the cry for help written on the grimy window. The squeegee is all bent, which Schwick isn't happy with it.)
- Schwick: You bent my squeegee! New it's curtains for the sitar lady! (He walks to his pet door where is is about to unlock the door to release his pet) Nobody double-crosses Schwick!
- (Courage shakes a little in shock as he ran to Muriel, whimpering in fear. He picks her up to the train as Eustace scratches his head. Schwick follows the two in, chasing both of Courage and Muriel all away to the Radio City Music Hall's stage where the audience is cheering. Courage puts down Muriel, who was holding her sitar. The spotlight flashes at the two as Courage and Muriel smiles at the audience, everyone is cheering for the two. Muriel started playing her Sitar on stage as Schwick is coming after Courage.)
- Courage: AAAAAAHHHH!!!
- (He runs behind Muriel as Schwick gets close to courage, the curtains are open, revealing a group of dancing women in the performance behind a background with a city on top of a rainbow. Schwick saw a policeman disguised as part of the dancing group in a shock because apparently, The police officer from the train has called for backup. He angrily turned to Courage.)
- Schwick: I said "NO COPS!!"
- (The copper kicks Schwick's butt with his red high heel)
- Schwick: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
- (Schwick flies across the stage and lands half-stuck inside the tuba, the audience cheers)
- Audience: Ooooohh!
- (The crowd cheers as the police walks to the criminal cockroach inside the tuba)
- Policeman: Looks like we finally got ya, Buschwick.
- Schwick: Shwick! Shwick! It's just Shwick!
- (The entire audience are cheering at both Courage and Muriel, the entire show as aired on TV in the rehearsal room, but in greyscale. The channel switches to the same Violin Girl from the red apartment, but with a normal young girl's face. Eustace, who become a skeleton, was switching more channels with the remote.
- Eustace: 2000 channels and still nothin' to watch!
- (A skeleton Eustace mutters as Schwick's pet eats his flesh, the pet door slams shuts as the episode ends in a circular fade out, Muriel's sitar can be heard along with cheers)
