(WHISPERING) Darren, what is wrong with you?
The crystals react to sound, even whispering.
You're whispering!
I'm whispering to tell you not to whisper.
It's still whispering. Count it!
Stop whispering! And stop counting it.
I'll stop whispering but I will not stop counting it.

SCOOBY-DOO: Scooby-Dooby-Doo!
You said take the right road.
No, I said that Daphne was right.
I said left.
Like, so you were wrong?
Right.
Wrong, she was right.
She's either right or wrong 'cause what's left?
So, I was wrong that I was wrong?
Right, you were both wrong and so was Fred.
I wasn't wrong, I was just listening to you.
-Me? -No, not you, I was listening to Velma.
And then, Daphne and then, Shaggy.
And now, yes, I'm listening to you!
And I can't even hear myself think!
So I was right?
Argh!
Come on, Fred, we're just trying to help.
I don't need help. I need quiet.
Please, if you can all just be quiet for five seconds,
I'll figure out where we are on my own.
Five seconds.
I mean, what's the worst that could happen if we're all just quiet for five seconds?
-The worst that could happen would be... -(SIGHS)
One of us is unable to warn the others of something bad that's gonna happen
in four seconds!
What are you not telling us, Velma? Out with it!
Wait, did we start the five seconds already?
You need to say, "And go" or something.
I'm being quiet.
Ah, see!
Here, we are, The Crystal Canopy Tour Company.
I told you I'd find it if you just gave me a few moments of silence.
But we didn't!
(SIGHS) I give up.
Atta boy, Fred.
(BELL JINGLES)

(SNIGGERING)
FRED: "The Crystal Canopy. You'll think you died and went to...
"The Crystal Canopy."
I heard crystals can increase your psychic brain powers.
Just imagine if I could read your thoughts, Scooby?
I could finally answer the question,
what do dogs think about?
Ah, you wouldn't understand.
That's really incredible, huh?
I've never seen anything like it!
Well, no one had until it was discovered a couple of years ago.
My old professor, Dr. Lang, has been researching it for months now
and what we've learned so far is incredible.
The Crystal Canopy is an interconnected crystalline tower.
Formed by mineral drips over the past three million years.
The crystals are extremely sensitive to sound.
Any audible frequency makes them reverberate like a tuning fork
causing them to glow brighter.
The cavern's dome shape acts as an echo chamber that amplifies noise.
If some careless dope were to speak too loud,
it could set off a chain reaction
that would shake the entire crystal canopy to pieces.
One of the wonders of the world and a sneeze could bring it down.
Like, wait a second!
Why was I the careless dope in that?
-(GLASS SHATTERING) -Ooh.
(SCOOBY WHIMPERS)
DAPHNE: Wow, it's just so...
Beautiful!
Its aesthetics are irrelevant, Daphne.
And can be explained by science.
Science is truth.
Truth is beauty.
Therefore, beauty is just science for people bad at math.
Actually, the truth is,
the Crystal Canopy is the most beautiful thing on earth.
-Colson McCready. I'm the one who discovered it. -(MUMBLING)
I knew that the Crystal Canopy was something that had to be shared with the world.
-So, I started this tour company. -(CHUCKLING)
Unfortunately, it's looking like no one will be getting near those crystals again.
Why? Are they afraid it's creating too many psychics?
Everybody winning the lottery and having the end of books ruined for them.
Actually, no.
It's because we can't risk something so beautiful being destroyed.
Dr. Lang?
Velma, my shining science star!
I'm sorry you'll never see the majesty of the Crystal Canopy.
But its wonder must be protected.
Even from science.
I was going to finish my experiments
to prove that the crystals are too fragile, too perfect to be studied anymore.
But, my research assistants have been chased off.
Chased off?
By what?
Well, they claim that were attacked by some sort of
cave creature.
She's taking about the Crystal Crawler.
There's always been stories about a monster in those caves.
But that's all it is, stories.
It's just another reason to shut the caves down permanently.
Permanently?
An incredible scientific find like this needs to be studied.
No, I can't risk it.
You would understand if you saw the beauty of the Crystal Canopy for yourself.
But you never will.
But, we could go down into the caves and finish your research.
And while we're down there,
we can investigate the so-called, "Crystal Crawler."
Tell me something, can you read my mind, right now?
You're wondering if I'm psychic?
(GASPS) She's right. I knew it.
Quick. Nobody think of anything really embarrassing.
(LAUGHS)
But if you must go down to the caverns, please be careful.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
I must ensure that the glory of the Crystal Canopy be sealed off and closed forever.
Well, gang, it looks like we have a mystery on our hands.
We need to find out what's going on down there.
Agreed.
(ELEVATOR DINGING)
(WHIMPERING)
All right, this elevator is soundproof but once the doors open at the bottom,
we have to be absolutely silent,
so we don't disturb the crystals.
Ha! Silent? Us?
Good luck with that.
You know, Fred,
complaining about making noise is technically making noise.
Hey guys, come on, arguing will get you nowhere, since you're both wrong.
Like, Daphne's right, you're both wrong.
-So who's left? -Right here!
Right, Scooby's left.
No, you're wrong. You're left too.
You lost me.
Uh, try turning right.
Not this again. Stop!
Listen, we've almost reached the Crystal Canopy.
Since, we can't talk...
Does everyone remember the hand signals, I showed you?
That doesn't mean anything to you?
Was no one listening when I explained them earlier?
(SIGHS)
If you'd all just be quiet and pay attention,
we wouldn't have these problems.
It'd be easier to solve this mystery myself.
(ELEVATOR DINGING)
(SIGHS) No, no, no.
Holy Jinkies!
-Oh! -(RUMBLING)
FRED: Okay, listen up, gang!
Well, not listen up, obviously, I guess, "Watch up" is correct.
But that's not really a thing, is it? "Watch up."
Anyway, remember that the point of all this is...
No, no, no, I wasn't actually pointing!
The hand signal for point is pointing.
No, stop that. Stop looking.
No, that's the hand signal for stop looking.
Don't actually stop looking altogether!
Now, you can't see my hand signals.
DAPHNE: Hmm, now that we're close to the crystals, I should try to...
Fred, this is Daphne.
I'm speaking to you with my mind.
The crystals should be amplifying my psychic ability.
Or is it telepathic ability?
I'm not clear on the difference, are you?
Okay, if you're answering me in hand signals, I have no idea what they mean.
VELMA: This is so strange.
I understand the scientific principles behind the crystal canopy
and yet I didn't expect it to be so, so, uh,
what's the word? Means science, truth,
beauty! That's it. It's beautiful!
Whoa! I can't look away.
SHAGGY: It's too quiet down here. It's freaking me out.
Ho, ho. Like what as that? It sounded like nothing.
Where did it come from? Oh, man!
No sound is coming from that way too!
(WHIMPERING) Did I just not hear something behind me?
Nothing is surrounding me!
SCOOBY-DOO: Yeah!
Uh, who did I agree with?
(INAUDIBLE)
FRED: It's the Crystal Crawler. Run!
Go, left. No, wrong, that's right.
Left, not right... Now I'm doing it!
(GROWLS)
(SNIFFS)
Hmm?
(GRUMBLES IN DISGUST)
(GROWLING)
SHAGGY: Oh, like, it's Fred! Like, hey, Fred!
We were being chased by the Crystal Crawler.
Like, you know,
the Crystal Crawler.
FRED: Come on, guys, you can do this.
Understand me.
We need to find the Crawler's trail and track it back to his lair.
We need to get his scent.
Come on, Scoob, his scent.
Follow the trail!
Follow trail!
(SIGHS)
(SNIFFING)
DAPHNE: Velma, can you hear my thoughts?
If so, do a cartwheel.
Hmm, not sure, she can do a cartwheel, anyway.
Okay, come on, Daphne,
simply close your face eyes and open your mind's eye.
VELMA: This is the most amazing thing I have ever experienced.
Wow, Velma!
I think our minds are starting to merge!
Are you thinking about math?
No, okay, I cheated.
I was hedging my bets there.
Wait, I sense you're...
Nope, she's gone.
(SNIFFING)
FRED: You gotta be kidding me!
I think I got a scent!
Look, a clue!
I actually sniffed out a clue!
Like a dog.
I'm having mixed feelings about this.
The Crawler made that print!
Good work!
Velma, what are you...
VELMA: Beauty!
There is no truth!
There is no science!
Beauty!
Science!
There is only beauty.
I finally understand.
Dr. Lang is right.
There is no length I wouldn't go to protect the crystals.
DAPHNE: Velma? Where are you?
The crystals are helping me sense you're somewhere near crystals!
Okay, another cheat, that's a gimme.
Hmm...
FRED: Hmm... This appears to be some kind of sonar analysis device.
Hey, someone messed with these wires.
But why?
This must be a clue.
It's getting a reading.
SHAGGY: Oh, no, like, it's coming towards us!
VELMA: Roar!
I'm the Crystal Crawler. Or reasonable facsimile thereof.
Leave my precious Crystal Canopy and never return.
FRED: I can't wait to hand-signal read this explanation.

Oh, finally, we can talk now.
I'm a Crystal Crawler. (GROWLS)
Like, is that what you're supposed to be?
That science equipment that Fred fixed couldn't even figure that out.
Of course, can't you tell?
My turtleneck is all up and my socks are all like...
(ROARING) Socks.
But the way you were jumping around and slipping off the rocks,
even with my heightened psychic powers,
I had no clue what you were doing!
Oh, would you stop!
Countless scientific studies have shown that crystals don't make you psychic.
Wait, why were you being a Crystal Crawler?
Seriously?
It isn't obvious?
The canopy, right?
Sorry, wrong.
-Very wrong. -Right.
Right?
Like, about it being wrong?
No, Dr. Lang was right. Being here is wrong.
Am I the only one left who knows right from wrong?
Oh, for the love of... Stop!
Is anyone else here concerned about the mystery in front of us?
Or the actual monster that's attacking us?
Do I have to solve this mystery on my own?
Please, if you can all just be quiet for five seconds,
I'll figure this out on my own.
Five seconds, that's all I ask.
Whoa!
Deja vu-sy-voo!
That wasn't even one second!
Right.
Argh!
Wait, Shaggy, what'd you say about the science equipment?
Uh, the science equipment you fixed couldn't even figure out what Velma was?
Right. And Daphne, what did you say about Velma slipping?
Velma kept slipping off the wall?
Exactly! And Velma,
what did you say about Dr. Lang?
That she's right about not wanting to allow anyone down here again.
Fred, you're a genius!
Nah, not without you guys, I'm not.
(ELEVATOR DINGING)
Like, first floor, safety, no monster attacks.
And lunch?
Huh?
Like, what are you doing?
Sorry, gang. But we have to go back down there.
I've got a plan!
-All I need is... -(SHAGGY SHUDDERING)
Five seconds of quiet to teach you the hand signals.
(CLINKS)
(CLINKING)
(GRUNTING)
Good work, gang!
I realize now, how lonely it would be
if I didn't have your voices around me all the time.
That's what makes a team!
A loud, sometimes maddening team.
Yeah, great work, kids.
I think. What is this thing?
That thing is no thing, Officer.
No, in fact, the Crystal Crawler is...
ALL: Colson McCready?
McCready, but why?
Because he'd sunk all his money into The Crystal Canopy Tour Company
and you were trying to shut down the caves for good.
I started to get suspicious, when we found the sabotaged sonar equipment.
It didn't make sense, why a monster would wanna ruin some science equipment.
But, it made even less sense why a scientist would.
Whoever did it must have wanted to stop them from finishing their experiments.
But the first clue that pointed to McCready
was the powder on Scooby's back.
We knew the print was left by the Crawler.
But, none of us knew what it was.
Until, we saw, how slippery the cave walls were.
Everything came together, when we remembered how Velma fell off those rocks.
Only an experienced caver would be able to climb them.
Because Velma kept falling down.
Yes, we get it.
But, like, McCready was the one who found The Crystal Canopy in the first place!
He had plenty of experience climbing rocks!
Unlike, Velma.
Can we move on, please?
DAPHNE: And he knew, in order to keep your hands dry, so you can grip the rocks,
you use chalk powder!
He was caught white-handed!
(LAUGHS)
It works on one level.
And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you...
Meddling kids, right? Right?
Why, yes, how did you know?
That's remarkable!
It's not like meddling is the obvious word in that context.
I mean, that's a bit archaic of an expression
but, yes, "Meddling," that's exactly what I was gonna say!
Okay, now, I'm freaked out.
Let's leave here, now.
Sure, Daphne.
Our work here is done!
The incredible beauty of the Crystal Canopy
is now forever safe from human destruction.
Unlike this villainous tour company,
whose doors are now closed for good.
