Fade into the basement lab of Manson Works as Sam walks in, looking at a book she's holding. She stops and lowers the book to talk to her dad, Jeremy, who is working on the Specter Speeder in the middle of the lab.

Sam: Dad, can I ask you a question?

Jeremy: (Turns around from working in the cockpit.) About the Specter Speeder? (Wraps arm around Sam.) Sure!

Jeremy shoves Sam into the cockpit of the Specter Speeder, then sits down next to her.

Jeremy: (Pointing at the dashboard.) This little baby has state-of-the-art spirit plane exploration technology. And it's got a (Presses button) super-sized cup holder.
A large cup holder pops out of the dashboard.

Cut to Pamela coming down the basement stairs. She stops near the end of the Specter Speeder.

Pamela: Jeremy, dear... (Jeremy steps out of the Specter Speeder to stand next to her.) It's getting awfully late. Is there something that you might have forgotten today?

Jeremy: (Looking clueless.) Uh…

Pamela: Something significant? Having to do with today's date of May ninth?

A calendar on the wall is shown. There is a picture of Jeremy and Pamela on their wedding day pinned to May 9th, with arrows pointing to it and "Happy Anniversary" written above it.

Jeremy: (Looks around cluelessly while trying to remember.) Ninth, ninth, ninth. Ninth! Ninth? Nope. Still not catching your drift. (Scratches head.)

Pamela: Our anniversary, dear? Oh well, I guess it just slipped your mind... (Shakes and suddenly bursts out in anger) for the eighteenth year in a row!

Pamela slams her fist down on the end of the Specter Speeder, causing it to start up and shift into drive with a surprised Sam still inside.

Sam: Huh? (The Speeder begins to fly forward.) Whoa!

The Specter Speeder flies towards the Manson Portal, which opens up.

Sam: Whoa! (Closes eyes in anticipation of impact.)

The Specter Speeder flies through the portal and into the Ghost Zone.
Sam: Whooooooooa!

The Specter Speeder flies further into the Ghost Zone as Sam looks around worriedly. A few ghosts swirl past the cockpit of the Speeder. Sam turns to look back at them, and the Specter Speeder approaches a large white ghost, Walker, that towers menacingly over it. Sam turns and screams when she notices Walker, and brings the Speeder to a stop.

Walker: Trespassing in an unauthorized vehicle. (Points.) That's against the rules.

Sam: Uh, sorry. (Shakes.) I-I didn't know. I'm from...out of town.

Walker    Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it, punk. I see your face around here again, (Points at Sam) you and I are gonna have a problem.

Sam: Y-Yes, sir. (Salutes and smiles nervously.)

Sam shifts the Specter Speeder into reverse and it zooms backwards as Walker dissipates. The Specter Speeder flies all the way back and comes to a stop in its original spot in the basement lab, where Pamela is still yelling at Jeremy.

Pamela: Now get this into your head, Jeremy Manson, there are some things more important than hunting ghosts! (Hits back end of Specter Speeder again.)

Pamela walks away and a shaking, scared Sam gets out the Specter Speeder to stand next to Jeremy.

Jeremy: I know, I know. I'm just as freaked out by your mother's reaction as you are.
