THE ADVENTURES OF THE LEAGUE OF S.T.E.A.M.
DINING WITH THE DEVIL
Hello. Jasper Mooney, here.
And you're joining us on a routine exorcism.
Today I'm assisting Sir Conrad, our expert demonologist.
Let's take a closer look.
What? What is she saying?
Jasper...Quiet, please!
This is a difficult part:
Expulsion.
Well, hurry it up!
Remember, we're entertaining the investors in an hour.
(screams and moans)
Here.
(Latin): Exorcizo te,
immundissime spiritus in nomine
(demon voice)
Nicely done. Let's pack up and get out of here.
Ma'am, we will bill you later.
(Demonic voice): Heya, pal!

...With your support, we'd be able to create a more effective
line of communication with all the outlying...
...areas, that we try to...
Of course, of course.
Where have you two been?
We've had an accident.
He said the incantation wrong, or something.
I may have rushed him.
(demonic laughter)
Oh! Oh! This is bad! Is he...?
Possessed? Yeah.
Oh! This is terrible!
Oh! We need to fix this. We need to fix this.
You! You need to fix this!
How? He's the demonologist!
Okay, wait. You said he said the incantation wrong, right?
Okay. Where is this written down?
In his books and his notes. Here.
Oh. Okay. You take the books and, Sir Con--
Where is Sir Conrad? Where...
My, you have an appetite!
Ohhhhh!
Oh, Professor Reginald, let me introduce you to Jasper Mooney.
A pleasure to meet you, Sir. How are you this evening?
Splendid, splendid.
Would you excuse us, please?
Okay. You need to go get the books.
Take them upstairs.
I'm going to find Sir Conrad, and I'll bring him up to you.
Got it.
Sir Conrad?
- Is that him? - Sir Conrad Wright the third!
Yes, it is him.
And you are...?
Oh, why we're Theodore and Adelaide Marshall.
We're such big fans of Sir Conrad. Don't you remember us?
Yes. You helped out my aunt, Ruthie Marshall, when she had
a vampire infestation up on her ranch in Oregon, last winter.
- Right. And what a fine job he did! - Yes.
Why, we've been just waiting for another opportunity to run into you!
(laughter) Well, now you've seen him! Please excuse...
(Demon): Uh oh.
Sorry. I know how this must look.
Oh my, I didn't realize that you were such a graceful dancer, Sir Wright!
Well he certainly is light on his feet, isn't he?
Actually he is an honorary member of the Royal Ballet.
(sound of bell) Ladies and Gentlemen, honored guests.
For our top investors, dinner,
which had been prepared by our very own Thaddeus, is served.
- You can sit next to us, Sir Conrad. - Oh please!
Hey! It's getting really hairy down there! How's it coming?
I can't find in here what he was using today.
I need to determine what kind of possession it was.
I can't let him down.
Okay, I'll try to get him. I'll be back in a minute.
Adelaide, you remember the time
Sir Conrad came running out of the barn,
his pack leaking holy water all over him.
Yes, and then he ran back in there with just his stake
and a single strand of garlic. It was truly superb.
Excuse me. If you don't mind,
I'd like to borrow our heroic vampire hunter here, just for a moment?
Lady? Don't you think that could wait until after dinner?
Sir Conrad, I've heard amazing stories
that you single-handedly vanquished over 200 vampires.
(Demonic voice): So has your breath.
(gasps, clang of forks dropping)
Sir Conrad, you never could hold your liquor.
(laughter)
