• [first lines] 

  Gary : We're called The Midnight Society. Separately, we're very different. We like different things, we go to different schools, and we have different friends. But one thing draws us together: the dark. Each week, we gather round this fire, to share our fears, and our strange and scary tales. It's what got us together, and it's what keeps bringing us back. This is a warning to all who join us: you're going to leave the comfort of the light, and step into the world of the supernatural.

• Gary : To be a member, you have to tell us a scary tale, and then we vote. And it has to be unanimous or you're not in. Are you ready?

  Frank : Yeah, I'm ready...

  [in a sinister tone] 

  Frank : are YOU GUYS ready?

  Kiki : [All the kids at once, with Kiki being the loudest]  WHOOO! I'm scared now!

• Gary : Who sponsors Frank?

  David : I do. He's a good guy.

  Eric : But can he tell a good story?

  Frank : [blindfolded, steps forward and reaches out]  Who said that?

• Eric : Wait a minute, wait a minute, no fair. You can't put a riddle in a story that can't be solved.

  Betty Ann : Maybe it can.

  Eric : Yeah, right. It's weightless, you can see it, and if you put it in a barrel it makes the barrel lighter. No way.

  Kiki : Sounds like one of those riddles you can't solve.

  Kristen : That's a cheat.

  Gary : No - maybe it *can* be solved.

  Frank : *Maybe* you should all just lighten up, and let me finish the story.
