They opens the garage door

He grunts

Bill: All right, let's get started.

Cricket: Yeah! Wait, what are we lookin' for?

Bill: Your Gramma's old teddy bear. I'm hopin' it'll calm her restless spirit. She's been having her nightmares again.

Cut to Gramma sleeping in her bed

She snoring

Gramma: You think poison can kill me?!

She talking in her sleep, she rips one of her pillows in half

Gramma: Now kiss me, you fool.

She snoring

He shudders

He runs off in a garage

Cricket: All right! Let's go find it!

Bill: Hey! Wait a second!

He searches in a box full of light bulbs

Cricket: Not here. Not here. Not here.

He looks in an old gramophone, where spiders crawl over him

Cricket: Not here.

He shudders

He gets tangled up in a hose

Cricket: Not in here.

He trips the water hose

He groans

He tries searching in a plugin using a fork

Cricket: Maybe in here...

Bill: Cricket!

He drops the fork

Cricket: Huh?

Bill: Well, you're not gonna find it randomly rummaging through everything. It's best if we take a slow, methodical approach.

Cricket: Found it!

Bill: Huh?

Cricket: Gramma's teddy. I found it! See?

He points to a shelf, where an old, worn out teddy bear is sitting

Bill: Hmm. Lucky find I guess. All right, let's think this through. I could get a ladder and--

A wrench falls on his head

Bill: Ow! Cricket!

He climbing up a pile of old stuff

Bill: Cricket, get off of there! You're making a mess!

Cricket: Don't worry! I've got light feet and perfect balance!

He slips

Cricket: Whoa! Ooh! Ow!

He chuckles

He continues climbing

Bill: Dang it, boy, it's not a race! Ugh!

He gets a ladder

Bill: Cricket, I'll get it.

Cricket: No, it's okay! I'm almost there!

Bill: No, no, no, let me...

Cricket: Dad, I got it.

Bill: Cricket, just let me do it.

They both get the teddy bear

They look at each other
