          Episode begins with a modified, Halloween intro.

          INT. PRINTER AREA

          This episode has a horror-movie feel. CRAIG, dressed as a
          pumpkin, waits by the printer. It beeps and displays an
          error. Craig grunts and bangs on the printer.

                              CREEPY JANITOR (O.S.)
                    Careful now, printer like that
                    could drive a man to madness.

          Craig, startled turns around. CREEPY JANITOR, a
          gray-mustached ankylosaurus with a crazy eye, stands over
          his shoulder.

                              CREEPY JANITOR
                    Some say it's cursed, others say
                    the drivers weren't properly
                    installed.

          Craig turns back to the printer.

                              CRAIG
                    Maybe it's just... spooling?

          Reveal, Creepy Janitor has disappeared. Craig is confused.

          INT. CUBICLES

          SHEILA, a sexy witch, and TODD, a palm tree, are chattin'.

                              SHEILA
                    I love trick or treaters, but the
                    leftover sweets are such a
                    temptation.

                              TODD
                    I just leave out a bowl to keep
                    people from ringing my doorbell.

          Craig grumps over.

                              CRAIG
                    What's with that creepy, old
                    janitor? He gives me the
                    heebie-jeebies.

                              TODD
                    You mean Old Brooms Mackenzie? He
                    hasn't worked here in five years.

          Dramatic sound. Craig is wide-eyed.

                              TODD
                    They should really deactivate his
                    employee access card.

          Craig at his computer. He clicks print. Error: Out of paper.
          Craig slams the desk and lets out a crazed growl.

          INT. PRINTER AREA

          Craig approaches the printer with a stack of paper. He opens
          the paper tray. It's full. Dramatic sound. Craig yelps and
          throws all his paper into the air.  He looks around.

          Craig is at his computer, twitching. He tries printing. 
          Error: "Printer Offline."  Craig shakes with fury.

                              CRAIG
                    Printer Offline!?

          Suddenly, Craig hears RICHARD hum off screen.

          Craig gets up and sees Richard, wearing a sheet ghost
          costume, successfully printing. CRASH ZOOM on the paper
          printing. Dramatic sound. Background recedes around Craig.

                              CRAIG
                         (head tilting)
                    Printer, on-line?

                                                          CUT TO:

          Craig at his desk, crazed and muttering. Sheila approaches.

                              SHEILA
                    I like your costume, Craig. You
                    make a handsome gourd.

          Craig's screen is filled with "All jam and no print makes
          Craig a dull dino." He keeps clicking print.

                              SHEILA
                         (noticing the screen)
                    Craig?

          Craig hits "print." Success! Job accepted. Craig, startled,
          lets out a crazed laugh. Richard and Todd pop their heads
          over the cubicle wall and stare. Craig runs off.

                                                          CUT TO:

          Craig eagerly approaches the printer. He goes to grab his
          document. It's not there. He looks all over the printer,
          it's not anywhere. He looks at the display. Three rapid
          zooms on printer with dramatic music. The screen reads
          "Printer ready, no jobs in queue." ZOOM OUT to Craig, eyes
          twitching with insane rage. He laughs maniacally. Horror
          music swells.

          INT. TERRY'S OFFICE

          Todd, Richard, and Sheila rush in and slam the door. TERRY
          is behind his desk dressed as Dracula.

                              SHEILA
                    Terry something's wrong with Craig!

                              RICHARD
                    He's goin' bananas!

          They hear Craig trampling and hide. Craig's horn slams into
          the door 3x, making a hole as Sheila cowers against the
          wall.

                              SHEILA
                    Oh dear! Oh dear!

          Craig smashes his head through.

                              CRAIG
                    Here's Craig-o!

          Sheila cowers.

                              TERRY
                    Hey Craig, were you trying to print
                    from my printer?

          Music cuts out. Craig snaps out of it.

                              CRAIG
                    Wait, is your printer Dinomark X73?

                              TERRY
                    Yep, here ya go.

          Terry hands him a stack of documents. Craig stares at them.
          O.S. the janitor laughs maniacally. Reveal him behind Craig.
          Horror music swells. It cuts out before Terry speaks.

                              TERRY
                    Mr. Mackenzie you don't work here
                    anymore. I'm gonna have to ask you
                    to leave.

                              CREEPY JANITOR
                    You ain't seen the last of ol'
                    Broomsy!

                              TERRY
                    OK, keep in touch!
