00:00:00This is not true, is it?
00:00:05We're visiting his dad's family.
00:00:18Run!
00:00:30I'm sorry.
00:00:40I'm sorry.
00:00:46I'm sorry.
00:00:50I'm sorry.
00:00:54I'm sorry.
00:01:00I'm sorry.
00:01:06I'm sorry.
00:01:14I'm sorry.
00:04:49I thought my son could appreciate a fully chewed, chewed toy.
00:04:55Gross, mom.
00:04:58Oh, by the way, can I have a Halloween movie night?
00:05:01Please?
00:05:02Let's talk about it in the morning, okay?
00:05:05Go back to sleep.
00:05:06Oh, by the way, can I have a...
00:05:11You say you say you're used to have a thing.
00:05:12You say you're used to have a thing.
00:05:24You say you're used to have a thing, you say you're used to have a thing, things I can't provide.
00:05:41Morning, kiddo.
00:05:42Morning, kiddo.
00:05:43Did you sleep well?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:45I had a weird dream.
00:05:46Monster?
00:05:47Alien?
00:05:48Chainsaw maniac?
00:05:49No.
00:05:50I was in college and I didn't know I was there, so I dropped out.
00:05:56Is that your nightmare?
00:05:57Is that your nightmare or mine?
00:05:59Hey, I haven't even been accepted to college yet.
00:06:02I have plenty of time to find myself.
00:06:04Yeah, you can find yourself in college.
00:06:07Okay?
00:06:08I'm not working the night shift at the pet hospital so you can hang around here watching ghoul movies
00:06:14and playing video games all day.
00:06:16And eating pizza rolls.
00:06:17I love me some pizza rolls.
00:06:21Besides, look at this house.
00:06:24We live like kings.
00:06:25No.
00:06:26We live like people who got a great deal on a short-term rental because a formerly sick Pekingese
00:06:36had a very grateful owner who also just happened to be a real estate agent.
00:06:41And when the economy gets better, we'll be shipped back to the mean streets of Van Nuys.
00:06:46Hopefully that's after I get accepted to film school.
00:06:49Yes.
00:06:50Hopefully.
00:06:51Oh, bummer.
00:06:53I forgot it's Friday.
00:06:55Ted will be here with donuts.
00:06:58Maybe.
00:06:59I mean...
00:07:00Oh, come on, Mom.
00:07:01Ted is like the moon or something.
00:07:03You always know when he's gonna pop up.
00:07:06I thought you liked him.
00:07:08He's alright.
00:07:09I mean, you like him, right?
00:07:11I do.
00:07:12Because you spent so much time making sure I turned out all brilliant and awesome like
00:07:17I am, right?
00:07:19So I'm just glad you finally have somebody in your life.
00:07:22But I'll bet you the first maple bar that he will be buying the next two minutes with
00:07:29a dozen from Donut Prince.
00:07:31He'll ask you how your week went and blow you a kiss because he doesn't do public displays
00:07:35with affection.
00:07:36He'll ask you what DVDs you got in the mail and watch whatever one you want tonight over
00:07:41Chinese.
00:07:42No, no, no.
00:07:43Pizza.
00:07:44Nope.
00:07:45Chinese.
00:07:46He's really that predictable, isn't he?
00:07:51Of course.
00:07:52I thought that's what you liked about him.
00:07:54Hmm.
00:07:55Now, about my Halloween plans.
00:07:58Yes.
00:07:59I have a list of haunted houses that we need to visit in order of spookiosity.
00:08:03And I'm going to need the car Saturday.
00:08:06No way.
00:08:07You are not driving on Halloween.
00:08:10I'm a good driver.
00:08:11Yeah.
00:08:12When you're paying attention, it's Halloween, okay?
00:08:15You're gonna be in ghost ghoul movie overload, okay?
00:08:19Google-eyed.
00:08:20Let's see.
00:08:21Uh-huh.
00:08:22Driving on two wheels.
00:08:24Dreaming up new monsters.
00:08:26Absolutely not.
00:08:28I'm driving.
00:08:29Fine.
00:08:30I have a map of the houses and the fastest route between them.
00:08:35You know I almost have enough money for my own car.
00:08:38Yes.
00:08:39You do.
00:08:40But until then, you're still mine to control.
00:08:42Hi, gang.
00:08:45Hey, Ted.
00:08:46Good.
00:08:47So, how was your week, Linda?
00:08:49Yeah, my week was fine.
00:08:52Good stuff.
00:08:53So, what movies do we have tonight?
00:08:57We've got a few.
00:09:02Thought we could watch one I got since it's Halloween.
00:09:04What's it called?
00:09:05That's better than Zombie She-Wolf.
00:09:08Well, okay, whatever your mother wants to watch is fine with me.
00:09:11Maybe I'll pick up some of my pizza after work, huh?
00:09:14Huh?
00:09:15Who am I kidding?
00:09:16Your dinos will be packed on a Friday.
00:09:19Well, we'll just get Chinese.
00:09:23You hear that, Mom?
00:09:25Dumplings.
00:09:26You called it.
00:09:29Alright, guys.
00:09:30I'll see you after work tonight.
00:09:32Muah!
00:09:33And the maple bars are mine.
00:09:43Hey, Ted?
00:09:44Yeah?
00:09:45Um, we've been seeing each other for about a year now, right?
00:09:50About that.
00:09:51And I really enjoy the time we spend together.
00:09:55I'm glad.
00:09:56Me too.
00:09:57But do you think maybe we're stuck in a rut, maybe?
00:10:02What do you mean?
00:10:04Well, I mean, there must be places that you want to visit or things you want to do or places you...
00:10:10I mean, you never really talk about yourself.
00:10:13Oh, baby.
00:10:14I'm boring.
00:10:16I did not say that.
00:10:18Look, I know you don't have a lot of time with your work and with Adam, so I'm happy my little corner of the world.
00:10:26Why'd you want to watch another movie tonight?
00:10:29No, it's not that.
00:10:31I...
00:10:32I just want to talk about the future.
00:10:35You know, our future.
00:10:37Sure, I'll do whatever you want to, but I'm happy.
00:10:41I don't want to mess with what we have.
00:10:43Muah!
00:10:44I love you.
00:10:45Don't be late.
00:10:46Let it go.
00:10:47Have a good day.
00:10:48You too.
00:10:49Okay.
00:11:06Why can't I ever keep the body parts together?
00:11:10Mad scientist having some problems?
00:11:12Hey, Molly.
00:11:13Bring me a present?
00:11:14No.
00:11:15It's a book.
00:11:16I see it's a book.
00:11:17You have a lot of them.
00:11:18I like to read.
00:11:19It's overrated.
00:11:20Fine.
00:11:21I won't show you then.
00:11:22Oh, come here.
00:11:23Come on.
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:25Come on.
00:11:26Come on.
00:11:27Just give it up.
00:11:28Don't make me angry.
00:11:29You won't like me when I'm angry.
00:11:30You're cute when you're mad.
00:11:34Look at this.
00:11:35It looks cool.
00:11:36Kind of like the Nechromacon.
00:11:38The what?
00:11:39The Nechrom...
00:11:40Never mind.
00:11:41I'll just show you the movies.
00:11:43You know, you seem so smart.
00:11:45And then you're so not smart about the things that matter.
00:11:48I like sci-fi.
00:11:50Horror is boring.
00:11:53Why are we friends again?
00:11:55Because you're lazy and I live a block away.
00:11:58That's true.
00:11:59So where'd you get this thing?
00:12:01Dark Delicacies in the Valley.
00:12:03They got a whole bunch of books from some collector.
00:12:06The owner didn't know what to make of it since it's all in Latin.
00:12:09Look at these pictures.
00:12:11Cauldrons, plants, animals.
00:12:14This is like some medieval witch's spell book.
00:12:17I know.
00:12:18Isn't it cool?
00:12:19I figured it might add to your Halloween night movie-thon.
00:12:22Maybe we could do a spell together.
00:12:24I don't know where we're going to get what looks like the horn of a unicorn.
00:12:30Most of that stuff has modern equivalents.
00:12:33How do you know that?
00:12:34I'm just interested in it, that's all.
00:12:37No big deal.
00:12:39You're a witch!
00:12:40Oh, please.
00:12:42I read a lot about a lot of different things.
00:12:44It makes me smart.
00:12:46Yeah, okay.
00:12:47Now where's the broom, Harry Potter?
00:12:49I'm gonna go put this in your house so it doesn't get messed up.
00:12:53Alright, and then you can come and help me sit up for the trick-or-treat crowd.
00:12:58Oh boy.
00:12:59Can't wait.
00:13:00Oh boy.
00:13:01Can't wait.
00:13:02Oh, hey Molly.
00:13:03Adam's out back putting up Halloween decorations.
00:13:04I know.
00:13:05Just wanted to say hi.
00:13:06That's nice.
00:13:07Um, grab a donut.
00:13:09Adam made all the maple bars but I think there's jelly left.
00:13:10Thanks.
00:13:11How are you folks?
00:13:12They're good.
00:13:13They're good.
00:13:14Do they still have that cabinet?
00:13:15What?
00:13:16Oh, hey Molly. Adam's out back putting up Halloween decorations.
00:13:30I know. Just wanted to say hi.
00:13:32That's nice. Um, grab a donut. Adam made all the maple bars, but I think there's a jelly left.
00:13:38Thanks.
00:13:39How are your folks?
00:13:41They're good.
00:13:41Do they still have that cabin in the foothills?
00:13:44Yeah. Looking to go on a mini-vacation? They always said you can use it whenever you want.
00:13:50Yeah. I think I am. Tomorrow.
00:13:55Really?
00:13:57Yeah. I've got some personal stuff going on, and I think going away for the weekend would be the perfect way to take care of it one way or another.
00:14:06You and Ted.
00:14:07Oh, gosh. I am so sorry. I should not be burdening you with this. It's okay.
00:14:12Yeah. I'm going to do that. I'm going to call your parents right now. Thank you, Molly. You are such a good listener.
00:14:23I don't know what I said.
00:14:24Oh, not the twins. Hey, not wild. What you doing?
00:14:37Looks stupid, whatever it is.
00:14:39Nicky, Chad, how's it going?
00:14:42I asked you a question.
00:14:43Actually, you didn't. But, uh, I'm making a trick-or-treat display for Halloween.
00:14:49Halloween, huh? I like Halloween. I like seeing little kids scream.
00:14:55We're making a haunted house. It's going to be at our place.
00:14:58Oh. Neat.
00:15:00It's going to be the scariest thing you've ever seen.
00:15:02I don't know. I've been to the Haunted Hayride or the Horror Hotel at...
00:15:06No way. Ours is going to be scariest. It's going to be in our garage. It'll be totally scary.
00:15:11Sure. Well, if you guys are involved, I know it'll be scary.
00:15:16Yeah.
00:15:22Oh, no. The twins.
00:15:25So, we'll need to borrow some of your stuff.
00:15:27Well, um, I...
00:15:30I'm kind of using it.
00:15:34Like my brother said,
00:15:36we're taking some of your stuff.
00:15:38I'll be a good little neighbor.
00:15:39Sheesh.
00:15:42Okay.
00:15:43Go ahead.
00:15:49Oh, thanks, Tiffany.
00:15:51I'll send Molly over to get the keys for me.
00:15:53Thanks again. Bye.
00:15:55What's up?
00:15:57Oh.
00:15:58The twins.
00:15:58Yeah.
00:16:01Chad makes it a point to borrow whatever book I'm reading.
00:16:04I don't even think he knows how to read.
00:16:06Oh.
00:16:07I guess I better go rescue him.
00:16:10Don't think any less of me if I want to stay in here and check out your decor.
00:16:14No.
00:16:14Hi, guys.
00:16:35Oh, Miss Wild Wing.
00:16:39Looking beautiful as always.
00:16:41Thanks, Nikki.
00:16:42Uh, it's wilder.
00:16:44Of course it is.
00:16:45Um, no, Adam was just letting us borrow his Halloween stuff for our haunted house.
00:16:49Was he?
00:16:50Yes, he was.
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:53Well, you know what?
00:16:54I need to speak to Adam right now.
00:16:56So, if you guys could come back later, say, Monday would be good.
00:17:01Uh, Monday won't work.
00:17:03That's November already.
00:17:05But it's okay, Miss Wildman.
00:17:06We'll just take this box and go.
00:17:08Yeah, thanks, buddy.
00:17:09Yeah, see ya.
00:17:10Not wild.
00:17:10Sorry, bud.
00:17:15We can go get some more Halloween decorations later.
00:17:19Nah, it's okay.
00:17:22Kind of figured they'd be by, so I kept all the cool stuff inside.
00:17:25That box they just took off?
00:17:27Full of moldy old newspapers from the garage.
00:17:33Oh, my gosh.
00:17:34So, when life gives you twin lemons, you decide to make the lemons mad at you.
00:17:40I'm not sure you totally thought that through, kiddo, but I like your style.
00:18:00What's up, Mom?
00:18:01Oh, listen.
00:18:03Ted and I...
00:18:03Getting married.
00:18:04No.
00:18:05Oh.
00:18:05I mean, it could be the opposite.
00:18:08You're gonna kill him?
00:18:08I'm being serious, okay?
00:18:12I like Ted, but something you said earlier got me to thinking, and, you know, I'm really
00:18:18not sure if our relationship is...
00:18:20Going anywhere?
00:18:22Yeah.
00:18:22And if that's the case, I'd rather find out now rather than later.
00:18:27And by now, you mean in November, right?
00:18:30Not on Halloween.
00:18:31My favorite day of the year?
00:18:32I mean, Molly's folks have lent me their cabin this weekend, and I really want you to come
00:18:38with me.
00:18:38But...
00:18:39Halloween!
00:18:41Zombies, werewolves, vampires, clowns!
00:18:43Okay, okay.
00:18:44Look, I know it's a really big day for you, but I'll make it up to you, Adam.
00:18:47I mean, you are man enough to know that you have to, you know, take care of things like
00:18:52this right away.
00:18:53Ignoring them and hoping they go away never works.
00:18:55I want you to be happy, but can I stay here?
00:19:03Fine.
00:19:04I'll be there.
00:19:05For you.
00:19:07I will make it up to you, I promise.
00:19:09Thank you so much.
00:19:16All right, let's get this.
00:19:17All right, let's get this.
00:19:47All right, let's get this.
00:20:17So, how are things?
00:20:39Did you know about this?
00:20:40About what?
00:20:41This sudden trip to your parents' cabin?
00:20:44Not really.
00:20:46You could have given me some warning.
00:20:48You're supposed to be my wingman.
00:20:50Your mom only just brought it up.
00:20:52I didn't know why, exactly.
00:20:54It's all Ted's fault.
00:20:56I thought you liked Ted.
00:20:57I like going to Mr. Flyswatter's haunted garage and seeing what new creatures he's dreamed
00:21:03of this season.
00:21:04I like watching as many horror movies as I can on three separate screens while eating piles
00:21:09of candy pretending that it's human flesh.
00:21:11You're so weird.
00:21:13You know what they give out around this neighborhood?
00:21:15Whole candy bars.
00:21:16Not just those little ones.
00:21:17And you know what else I like?
00:21:19Halloween.
00:21:20Halloween!
00:21:21Now, I don't know if I can be able to do any of those things.
00:21:26You're helping your mom out, though.
00:21:28You're doing a good thing.
00:21:30Yippee.
00:21:31You're a good guy.
00:21:33That's why I like you.
00:21:35This stings.
00:21:36This weekend is going to be a giant suck fest up in the woods with trees and birds and emotional
00:21:43baggage and crying and all the other things I find gross about human beings.
00:21:48You want to go with me?
00:21:50Sure.
00:21:50Sounds swell.
00:21:51Good.
00:21:52Go pack your bags.
00:21:53France have DVD player, widescreen TV, cable.
00:21:56You...
00:21:57No.
00:21:58Why?
00:22:00Why?
00:22:01I'll find something to cheer you up.
00:22:03I promise.
00:22:03Why?
00:22:06I mean, trekking out to a neighbor's cabin for an overnight trip to discuss the future.
00:22:15Yeah.
00:22:15I think we need to, Ted.
00:22:18I care about you, but we need to have a conversation outside of our comfort zones.
00:22:26I'm not just outside my comfort zone, baby.
00:22:28I am outside my comfort zone.
00:22:32It's not a bad thing.
00:22:34You know, honesty is good.
00:22:36Anyway, I have wanted to have a weekend away with you for quite some time.
00:22:43And you wanted to leave tomorrow morning?
00:22:45First thing.
00:22:46Well, I have to pick up my car from the shop.
00:22:48I still got their rental.
00:22:49And I need to pick up some work from the office.
00:22:52I mean, could we do this maybe next week?
00:22:57Tomorrow.
00:22:59Tomorrow.
00:23:00Mm-hmm.
00:23:01I do appreciate you taking the bull by the horns, but I just hope my horns do more than honk.
00:23:06Listen, if you have things to do in the morning, you can meet us up there.
00:23:10It's only about an hour, okay?
00:23:13I'll get you the directions, and we can have the cottage aired out, and I will have some
00:23:19iced tea brewing.
00:23:21That sounds pretty nice.
00:23:24Do they have a hammock there?
00:23:26Or a rope swing?
00:23:28They might.
00:23:31Cool.
00:23:31Okay.
00:23:33I'm going to get the directions for you.
00:23:35Okay.
00:23:38And we are going to have a great time.
00:23:41I knew it was too good to be true.
00:23:49Nuts.
00:23:49What exactly is this supposed to do?
00:24:03Make you feel better.
00:24:05Oh, right.
00:24:06How?
00:24:10Well, if I'm reading this right, you're supposed to feel a sense of well-being.
00:24:14And the object of your stress will be transformed into a raging, flesh-ripping beast from the
00:24:21lower depths of Mordor.
00:24:22Isn't that Lord of the Rings?
00:24:24I'm paraphrasing.
00:24:26Wikipedia isn't so up-to-date on 13th century demons.
00:24:30Dad feel bad about turning Dad into a demon.
00:24:34You do know I can't actually bring forward demons with an old book.
00:24:38I'm just trying to cheer you up with some mumbo-jumbo.
00:24:41Yeah.
00:24:42I'm curious where you got all these candles and potions and stuff, though, if this is
00:24:47all just mumbo-jumbo.
00:24:49It's just interesting.
00:24:52It relaxes me.
00:24:54Told you.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:57What now?
00:24:59Okay, we say these words.
00:25:01Ted.
00:25:03Kla-tu.
00:25:05Burrata.
00:25:06Nikto.
00:25:08Ted.
00:25:09Kla-tu.
00:25:10Veranda.
00:25:11Burrata.
00:25:12Brando.
00:25:13Burrata.
00:25:14Mariachi.
00:25:15Stop messing around.
00:25:17This is serious.
00:25:18I thought you said this was for fun.
00:25:21Okay, fine.
00:25:24Ted.
00:25:25Kla-tu.
00:25:25Burrata.
00:25:26Nikto.
00:25:27Necktie.
00:25:28Adam.
00:25:29Molly.
00:25:30Adam.
00:25:31Molly, what are you kids doing?
00:25:33Uh, nothing.
00:25:35An art project.
00:25:36Gapberg.
00:25:36Science.
00:25:37Neato.
00:25:38Oh.
00:25:38Oh.
00:25:41Boy.
00:25:50I'm so tired all of a sudden.
00:25:52Adam, can you tell your mom to send me directions?
00:25:57I have to lie down.
00:26:00Oh my god.
00:26:02We're so weird.
00:26:03You're weird.
00:26:04I'm totally cool.
00:26:10When did the candle go out?
00:26:13Dunno.
00:26:16That's weird.
00:26:20Whatever.
00:26:21I should get going.
00:26:23I'm glad I made you laugh.
00:26:24Me too.
00:26:25See you tomorrow.
00:26:26See you tomorrow.
00:26:38Oh.
00:26:39Why am I so tired?
00:26:41I'm so tired.
00:26:42I'm so tired.
00:26:43Mmm.
00:26:49Oh.
00:26:54Oh.
00:27:13Hey, have you seen Ted?
00:27:22Yeah, he was tired and he said he was going home.
00:27:25He said to send the directions to his phone.
00:27:27Oh, I thought I was going crazy for a second.
00:27:30Nope. No crazy here.
00:27:32You know what? Thank you for doing this for me this weekend.
00:27:36Well, I know nothing's going to stop you when you set your mind to something.
00:27:41Especially when it's important to you.
00:27:43Goodnight, Mom.
00:27:44Oh, goodnight, sweetie.
00:27:46Hey, sleep well.
00:27:48See you bright and early.
00:27:50Yeah.
00:27:56Oh, wow.
00:27:58I must have fallen asleep on the couch.
00:28:03I need a shower.
00:28:05God, I feel fuzzy.
00:28:08What time is it?
00:28:10Mmm.
00:28:11It's so comfy.
00:28:13Maybe I should just close my eyes again.
00:28:18Adam!
00:28:20Get down here!
00:28:21Adam!
00:28:23Linda!
00:28:24Oh, hi.
00:28:25Sorry I fell asleep on the couch.
00:28:26I don't know what happened.
00:28:31What's that?
00:28:32Why are you looking at me like that?
00:28:34I was going to ask you the same thing.
00:28:37I don't know where he came from.
00:28:38Linda.
00:28:40Can you hear me?
00:28:42Well, he came from somewhere.
00:28:44How did he get in?
00:28:47Adam?
00:28:48Linda?
00:28:49Please, what's going on?
00:28:51What is wrong with me?
00:28:52Why can't you hear me?
00:28:54Well, a little guy got in here somehow.
00:28:56Maybe he knows you're a vet.
00:28:59I'm being serious.
00:29:02Well, I don't know.
00:29:03Seriously.
00:29:05So what are we going to do with the little guy?
00:29:08I don't know.
00:29:10Guess we're going to have to take him with us.
00:29:12I've got a carrier in the garage.
00:29:14Go get dressed.
00:29:16And you, little guy, are coming with me.
00:29:19What do you mean, little guy?
00:29:21What's going on?
00:29:23Please, talk to me.
00:29:25What the heck?
00:29:27How did you just pick me up?
00:29:28There's no way my diet is working this well.
00:29:31Please, talk to me.
00:29:33Tell me this is a dream.
00:29:35Please.
00:29:43I look terrible.
00:29:45Look at that.
00:29:46You look great, Linda.
00:29:47Look.
00:29:49I'm a puppy?
00:29:51Oh!
00:29:52What?
00:29:54Please wake me up.
00:29:55Please wake me up.
00:29:56Now's the time I wake up, right?
00:29:59I'm going to wake up.
00:30:00Here I go.
00:30:01I'm going to wake up.
00:30:03I don't want to be a dog.
00:30:11Come in.
00:30:13A little light reading for the trip?
00:30:15Why not?
00:30:16You came by last night.
00:30:17Uh-huh.
00:30:18So, we have a little guest for the trip.
00:30:21How so?
00:30:23A stray puppy came by last night.
00:30:25That's weird.
00:30:26Maybe someone dropped him off because they know your mom's a vet.
00:30:29Maybe. I don't know.
00:30:31So, no chance your mom will delay the trip?
00:30:34Nope.
00:30:35If my mom sets her mind on something, she follows through hardcore.
00:30:39She finished five years of vet school in three.
00:30:43So, breaking up with Ted is on the top of her to-do list.
00:30:47If it was, she probably would have done that last night.
00:30:50I don't know. Ted's her first real boyfriend in a long time.
00:30:52I don't know what to expect.
00:30:55So, maybe the weekend won't be so bad.
00:30:58I did mention it's Halloween, right?
00:31:00I was hoping you might forget.
00:31:02Hey, guys. Come on downstairs. Get some donuts. Let's go.
00:31:06Great. Halloween donuts. Scary faces and orange sprinkles.
00:31:10Let's go, Sir Chuckles of Gloomytown.
00:31:32I like a shotgun.
00:31:33Good. I like sitting there.
00:31:35You're no fun.
00:31:37You too are no fun.
00:31:39But we're fun.
00:31:41So, we decided to come back for some more Halloween props
00:31:43because the box you gave us was filled with rotten newspapers.
00:31:47Oops.
00:31:49Hey, nerdly. That's an old book.
00:31:51Kinda creepy. We'll take it.
00:31:53No, we have other stuff you can have. Better stuff.
00:31:56Good. We'll take it all.
00:31:58Oh, no. The twins.
00:32:00Yikes!
00:32:01We're leaving and we're on a schedule.
00:32:04No, no, no, no, sweetheart. Get in this door.
00:32:06We have to go, puppy.
00:32:07Yes.
00:32:09Good job.
00:32:11Oh, hello, Miss Wildmutt.
00:32:12Adam just promised us some Halloween props for tonight.
00:32:15Yeah, it's tonight, you know.
00:32:17I will have a very stern talk with my son about this.
00:32:20But in the meantime, we've got to go.
00:32:21So, if you two would please not let the gate hit you in the butt on the way out.
00:32:27You tell them, Linda.
00:32:29Sorry we're late. I had to get this one to piddle before we left.
00:32:42And don't think that wasn't the most embarrassing experience of my life.
00:32:45Let's never talk about it again, okay?
00:32:49He's so cute.
00:32:51Well, I've never thought about it, but sure. I am pretty adorable.
00:32:56Yeah, there's a carrier if it's too wild.
00:33:00Seriously, what happened to me? I can't believe this at all.
00:33:04Hey, hey, hey. What's that smell?
00:33:06Oh, boy. Everything smells so good.
00:33:09Oh, God, I like it in the car.
00:33:11Yes, I do.
00:33:12Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:33:13Something's making bacon and waffles.
00:33:14Oh, boy.
00:33:15Can I sweep my head off the window?
00:33:16Please, please.
00:33:17I love the car. I love the car.
00:33:24This is going to be great. I'm so excited.
00:33:26I'm so excited.
00:33:28When are we going to get there?
00:33:30Oh, my gosh. You...
00:33:31He asked that.
00:33:32You're such a whiner.
00:33:33He asked that every three seconds.
00:33:34Yeah, you know.
00:33:35You know what?
00:33:36Every three seconds.
00:33:37I'm supposed to be looking up, like, all this zombie stuff,
00:33:39but no, we're out in nature and...
00:33:42It's going to be so much fun.
00:33:43And did I... let me say it again.
00:33:45Thank you so much for doing this with me.
00:33:48It's so important to me. You're sweeter.
00:34:15What are we going to name them?
00:34:16We are not going to name them.
00:34:17You're so cute.
00:34:18Yes, you are.
00:34:19But that's a very good question.
00:34:20If we were to keep them, which we are not, what would we call them?
00:34:21Oh, you're such a cute book.
00:34:22Don't listen to them.
00:34:23Okay, what would we call them?
00:34:24What would we call them?
00:34:25I don't know.
00:34:26I think...
00:34:27Joe.
00:34:28Come here, Joe.
00:34:29No, Joe doesn't.
00:34:30Joe.
00:34:31George...
00:34:32Watson.
00:34:33I like Watson.
00:34:34Watson.
00:34:35Yeah.
00:34:36Watson.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:38Yeah.
00:34:39I think we should call him Chubby though.
00:34:53Chubby.
00:34:54Hey.
00:34:55You're not Chubby.
00:34:56You're not Chubby.
00:34:57You're not Chubby.
00:34:58You're not Chubby puppy.
00:34:59You're not Chubby puppy.
00:35:00Oh my gosh.
00:35:01Oh.
00:35:02So cute.
00:35:04So cute.
00:35:05So cute puppy.
00:35:07Mom, what are you doing?
00:35:14Mom, what are you doing?
00:35:17I think I should take the little guy for a walk.
00:35:20Unless you want to be responsible for accidents.
00:35:23Oh, right. Uh, accidents.
00:35:27Can I do it? He's been staring at me the whole trip.
00:35:31Sure, just don't go too far.
00:35:33We won't.
00:35:36I'm gonna grab some water from the back.
00:35:38Great.
00:35:44How you doing, kiddo?
00:36:06I'm doing all right.
00:36:07Well...
00:36:09I want to thank you again.
00:36:12I know this is the last thing you'd want to be doing on your favorite holiday of the year.
00:36:17Ah, like I said.
00:36:19I know it's important to you.
00:36:21And I want you to have a great guy in your life.
00:36:24A great guy after me, of course.
00:36:25Ooh, yeah. Of course.
00:36:30And how do you feel about that?
00:36:32About what?
00:36:33About me having a guy in my life.
00:36:36I mean, not that it would be Ted, necessarily.
00:36:39But, you know, it's been a long time since your dad left.
00:36:43And you don't get to see him as often as you'd like.
00:36:47That's okay.
00:36:49Dad's complicated.
00:36:52And at the same time, he's really simple.
00:36:54That is an interesting take on him.
00:37:00But you...
00:37:01I mean, you sacrificed everything for me, yourself, for your career.
00:37:05And Dad...
00:37:07Dad's still trying to find himself.
00:37:10I'm sorry about that.
00:37:12I really am.
00:37:14But unfortunately, a leopard can't change his spots.
00:37:18I think a better expression is,
00:37:20a zombie cannot change his desire for human brains.
00:37:24You are my weird son.
00:37:28And you're my mom.
00:37:30And you deserve to be happy.
00:37:32Even if that means torturing your loving son on his favorite holiday.
00:37:36Mm-hmm.
00:37:37That is the guilt I was waiting for.
00:37:40You're a teenage boy, after all.
00:37:42Thanks. That's part of our handbook.
00:37:44Chapter 1, Guilt as a Means of Getting More Gifts.
00:37:48So, obviously, this trip is going to cost me big time.
00:37:52Oh, no. I would never do that.
00:37:55Oh, no. No. Not you. Uh-uh.
00:37:58But it would probably make me less sadder if I, I don't know,
00:38:02got a flat-screen TV or game console of my choice.
00:38:06Duly noted.
00:38:08Here comes Molly.
00:38:11Alright, so time to get back on the road.
00:38:14Give me a hug, you sweet boy.
00:38:17Oh.
00:38:25Wow, it's beautiful.
00:38:26Very pretty.
00:38:27Yeah, it's pretty. I'll give it that.
00:38:30It's gonna be awesome.
00:38:32I can't wait.
00:38:33We had so much fun.
00:38:34No zombies.
00:38:35No Halloween.
00:38:36No pumpkins.
00:38:37No anything.
00:38:38Don't be such a downer.
00:38:41There may be a pumpkin.
00:38:43There could be a zombie.
00:38:44A real one?
00:38:45But that's boring.
00:38:46Oh, come on.
00:38:47Who wants an actual pumpkin crawling out of the ground?
00:38:49What?
00:38:50A jack-o'-lantern.
00:38:51We can carve one.
00:38:52You may have time.
00:38:53If we have time.
00:38:54Jack-o'-lantern.
00:38:55Did you bring this up?
00:38:56Didn't think so, because we're out in the middle of nowhere
00:38:58with a puppy that we're probably not even gonna...
00:39:00You know what, Mom?
00:39:02You're lucky I love you.
00:39:03Oh, my goodness.
00:39:04I know.
00:39:05I am lucky.
00:39:06I'm the luckiest mom ever.
00:39:22See?
00:39:23It's lovely up here.
00:39:29Hey, come here.
00:39:30Get up here.
00:39:31You know how many jack-o'-lanterns you passed?
00:39:33Two.
00:39:34That's not lovely.
00:39:36That's criminal.
00:39:38I know you're not very happy with me right now.
00:39:42But I love you anyway.
00:39:44Hey, why don't you and Molly go for a walk?
00:39:47I'm sure someone has an awesome Halloween display somewhere.
00:39:51A walk?
00:39:53A walk?
00:39:55Let's go, Cranky McGrum Salat.
00:39:57It's not that bad.
00:39:59Have fun, you two.
00:40:02And you, let's check you out while we wait for Ted.
00:40:10Oh, the painful irony of that statement.
00:40:13Seriously, look in my eyes.
00:40:15I'm Ted Gimbel, CPA, member of the Rotary Club and upstanding citizen.
00:40:19I vote.
00:40:20I try to eat organic.
00:40:22I have a goldfish named Mr. Socks.
00:40:24I...
00:40:26Oh, my word.
00:40:28That is the stuff.
00:40:30Yes.
00:40:31To the left.
00:40:32To the left.
00:40:33Oh, belly rubs for the win.
00:40:36Oh, yeah.
00:40:38Oh, yeah.
00:40:39Oh, yeah.
00:40:49How's my nose?
00:40:50Because I think I smell great.
00:40:52By that I mean I smell lots of things.
00:40:55Little puppies smell pretty good.
00:40:56Yes, you do.
00:40:57Oh, oh, oh.
00:40:58Oh, oh.
00:40:59Oh, oh.
00:41:00I may be a little giddy.
00:41:01Well, it would suddenly be a different species and all.
00:41:05My ears are good, too.
00:41:06I can hear things I never thought you could hear.
00:41:08You do know there's a rat in this cabin, right?
00:41:11And I think a raccoon lives under the sink.
00:41:13And don't think me unmanly or ungodly, but I'm not messing with any raccoon.
00:41:20Wow.
00:41:21Look at this.
00:41:22A tail.
00:41:23Okay.
00:41:24That's pretty nifty.
00:41:25Although I'm not a very old wagger.
00:41:27I have to work on that.
00:41:29Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:41:30That's good, too.
00:41:31Ooh, scratch there.
00:41:32Scratch there.
00:41:33A little harder.
00:41:34A little softer.
00:41:35A little softer.
00:41:36To the right.
00:41:37Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:41:39There's only one good thing about this place.
00:41:41Only once?
00:41:42No Nicky and Chad.
00:41:44Ugh, twins.
00:41:46I've come to realize that they're my lifelong arch enemies, you know?
00:41:49How so?
00:41:50We went through elementary school together, and they would take my lunch, they would throw
00:41:54my junk on the roof of the school, and generally make my life terrible.
00:41:57That's awful.
00:41:58I know, right?
00:41:59But then one day, this patient of my mom's gives us this great lease on this ridiculous house.
00:42:04It's a beautiful house.
00:42:06Well, sure, but it's plenty dumb, too.
00:42:08I mean, it's big, it's wide, and let's face it, the decor inside, that's just silly.
00:42:13Well, that's kinda true.
00:42:15Yeah.
00:42:16Well, I'm excited, because now I get to go to a new high school, and I don't have to be
00:42:21bullied by them anymore.
00:42:23But they live down the street from your new place.
00:42:27But they live down the street.
00:42:30They're not twins, you know.
00:42:32Well, they kinda don't look alike at all, so I figured that.
00:42:37I kinda named them the twins.
00:42:41You did?
00:42:42When I was little, I'd play in our yard.
00:42:44They'd come by and take my dolls and rip them apart and put them all back together again,
00:42:48all Frankenstein-like.
00:42:50That's mean.
00:42:52But kinda cool and creepy looking, I'm sure.
00:42:55Okay, it was mean.
00:42:57And I bet those dolls didn't deserve it, either.
00:42:59No, they did not.
00:43:01Anyways, I was angry, so I blurted out they were the twins of evil.
00:43:04But they aren't twins.
00:43:06I think they're related.
00:43:09Or from this planet.
00:43:12You just might be right about that.
00:43:21Where are we going, anyways?
00:43:22We'll see.
00:43:24You actually like it up here, don't you?
00:43:27I do.
00:43:28It's peaceful.
00:43:30It just has an energy.
00:43:31Oh, brother.
00:43:33There's more to life than movies and video games.
00:43:36Bite your tongue!
00:43:38Them's fighting words.
00:43:43Not bad.
00:43:44I mean, it should, of course, be larger, but...
00:43:47It's got some nice touches.
00:43:49You know who lives here?
00:43:50I do.
00:43:51Molly, it's you!
00:43:53Oh, I thought you might be nearby.
00:43:55I'm so excited!
00:43:57Who's your friend?
00:43:59Rachel.
00:44:00This is my friend Adam.
00:44:02Hello, Adam.
00:44:04You seem dubious.
00:44:06No, ma'am.
00:44:07I was just admiring your decorations.
00:44:09I love Halloween.
00:44:11You did a good job.
00:44:13It's such a wonderful time of the year in so many cultures.
00:44:18Why don't you guys sit down and I'll make you some lemonade and then you can tell me all about last night.
00:44:25Tell you about what?
00:44:26The spell you two cast.
00:44:28You tapped into some really major energy and I'd be curious to see what became of it.
00:44:33I'm so excited to see what became of it.
00:44:34I'm so excited to see what became of it.
00:44:35I'm so excited to see what became of it.
00:44:40cool, I was so excited to see what became of it.
00:44:41Let me see what became of it.
00:44:42I'm so excited to see what became of it.
00:44:43Can I see what became of it?
00:44:44Oh, it's my toy.
00:45:10I got my toy.
00:45:11Oh, boy, I'll get it.
00:45:14I'll get it.
00:45:15Look at me.
00:45:16I'm fetching.
00:45:18I'm bored with fetching.
00:45:20What else you got?
00:45:22Oh, Linda, you're way funnier than I ever knew.
00:45:25And your smile.
00:45:26Gosh, I love that smile.
00:45:29I love you.
00:45:41Oh, that is the stuff.
00:45:48Yes.
00:45:56Hi, Ted.
00:45:58It's Linda.
00:46:00We're at the cabin.
00:46:02There is a hammock out back.
00:46:05And I'm looking forward to seeing you.
00:46:08We have an extra traveler bunking with us.
00:46:10A really cute bulldog puppy who can't get enough ear rubs.
00:46:15But you'll see him soon enough.
00:46:18I don't mean to take up all your voicemail.
00:46:22So can't wait to see you when you get here.
00:46:26Okay.
00:46:26Bye.
00:46:34Molly, I'm glad to hear that your parents are doing well.
00:46:44They're such nice people.
00:46:47And you, young man, your mom sounds like quite a woman.
00:46:51She is.
00:46:54Thanks for the lemonade.
00:46:55Oh, it's my pleasure.
00:46:57You know, I so love having visitors.
00:47:00Especially ones with a little magic in them.
00:47:04So tell me about the spell.
00:47:07I found an old spell book.
00:47:09I'd like to see that.
00:47:10Do you have it with you?
00:47:13That's why you brought it.
00:47:16I'll bring it over later.
00:47:18And you did a spell from this book?
00:47:21No.
00:47:23Yes.
00:47:24I didn't think so.
00:47:27That sounds like quite a busy night.
00:47:30I mean, we didn't do it right.
00:47:32Besides, we were just fooling around.
00:47:35Well, honey, you know as well as I do, there's no such thing as fooling around.
00:47:41There's energy all around us.
00:47:43And if you're keen to tap into it, it can do some wonderful, magical things.
00:47:49How do you mean?
00:47:50Well, it can soothe and heal.
00:47:53And it can also do destruction and harm and all kinds of things in between.
00:47:58Am I being vague enough for you?
00:48:00You know, Molly here is quite the wealth of information on these things.
00:48:05You might ask her about it someday.
00:48:07Yeah, I probably should.
00:48:11Just bring the book around later and we'll make sure that you didn't accidentally open up some portal to the netherworlds.
00:48:20The netherworlds?
00:48:21But if you said an incantation wrong...
00:48:24What happens if you said the words wrong?
00:48:26I mean, I was just kidding.
00:48:28You can't kid about these things.
00:48:33One wrong word and...
00:48:35Oh, my!
00:48:38What?
00:48:39Oh, it's happening!
00:48:40What is it?
00:48:41Haven't you noticed?
00:48:42What?
00:48:42Your hands have turned into tentacles!
00:48:50You're so gullible.
00:48:53Oh, my gosh!
00:48:55I really...
00:48:55I had you going.
00:48:57You thought you were a squid for a while.
00:48:59Didn't you?
00:49:00Didn't you?
00:49:01Got to love Halloween.
00:49:10Who knew?
00:49:11Oh, chewing on stuff could be so relaxing.
00:49:15Ah, noing, noing, noing.
00:49:22I'm tired.
00:49:24Playing is hard work.
00:49:27Really takes it out of you.
00:49:31So tired.
00:49:33And it's so snuggly.
00:49:37Maybe if I could sleep for them.
00:49:39No.
00:49:41Yes, my限.
00:49:43Yes.
00:49:50Yes!
00:49:51Rabbit!
00:49:52Rabbit!
00:49:52Uh...
00:49:53Rabbit!
00:49:53Yes!
00:49:58Mm!
00:50:01Yes!
00:50:02Yes!
00:50:03Yes!
00:50:04Yes!
00:50:04Yes!
00:50:05That's right, isn't it.
00:50:05Well, look at that!
00:50:06Yes!
00:50:07Thank you, sir!
00:50:08Oh, how'd you meet Rachel?
00:50:15She seems interesting.
00:50:17Oh, she is.
00:50:18In a lot of ways.
00:50:20My parents and I have been coming up here since I was a kid.
00:50:24One of the first times I went for a walk.
00:50:26Went too far and got a little lost.
00:50:29I can see that happening up here.
00:50:31I blame the trees.
00:50:34Anyways, I didn't know what I should do.
00:50:36And just when I thought I might cry...
00:50:38You got locked in an old ghost town jail by a weird old prospector.
00:50:42No.
00:50:42Saved by a mystical Indian boy?
00:50:44No, you watch way too much TV.
00:50:47You say that like it's a bad thing.
00:50:49Anyways, I don't know how, but Rachel just knew I was nearby and needed help.
00:50:54Sounds like some spooky medical stuff.
00:50:58Ironic coming from the guy who has a zombie survival kit.
00:51:01Hey, that can happen, okay?
00:51:02That's science.
00:51:03Besides, you have to like somebody who made you think you turned into a squid.
00:51:10Well, I didn't actually, like, I didn't.
00:51:15Like, whatever, let's keep walking.
00:51:17You guys look chipper.
00:51:31Did you have a nice walk?
00:51:32It wasn't what I expected.
00:51:35I took him to a friend a few cabins over.
00:51:37She's a fan of Halloween.
00:51:39Well, that's nice.
00:51:40I'm glad someone's having fun.
00:51:42Why?
00:51:42What's wrong?
00:51:43Ted should have been here by now.
00:51:47He hasn't called.
00:51:48I can't reach him on his cell.
00:51:49I'm sure he'll be here soon.
00:51:51I mean, if he left later, I mean, Travis is just going to get worse.
00:51:54Yeah, that's true, I guess.
00:51:56I'm here.
00:51:57I'm right here.
00:51:58Somebody has to see that, right?
00:52:01The puppy sure picked up.
00:52:03The little guy had some fun, but seriously, I'd like to be me again.
00:52:08What's the little guy doing, by the way?
00:52:09He's healthy, and he's cute.
00:52:12I'll give him that.
00:52:13I'd like a little more, please.
00:52:14Like, like my legs back.
00:52:18So, Mom, any thoughts about us for maybe finding the gender pet?
00:52:22I mean, come on, it's just too coincidental that you showed up like this.
00:52:25It is.
00:52:27No.
00:52:28No, I've told you before.
00:52:29We don't need a needy little guy underfoot.
00:52:32What we need is to save our money.
00:52:35So you can go to college, and I can buy myself a little shack somewhere to call my own that I can retire in.
00:52:41You do practical sometimes.
00:52:44Practical?
00:52:46Practical is what's kept me moving forward, and kept a roof over our heads, and shoes on your feet.
00:52:52You know, and I'm sorry if that's not enough for you.
00:52:54I'm sorry.
00:52:58No, it's, it's okay.
00:53:02I should take a walk.
00:53:04Want company?
00:53:05No.
00:53:09And from bad to worse it goes.
00:53:12I'm going back to bed.
00:53:14You, uh, want to get some iced tea?
00:53:16I needed some iced tea.
00:53:18That'd be nice.
00:53:24I'm sorry.
00:53:32I shouldn't have lost my temper.
00:53:34I'm just so worried about Ted.
00:53:36I'm sure he'll show up.
00:53:38How can I get Luna's attention?
00:53:39I'm just not sure I know what I want from him.
00:53:47How do you mean?
00:53:48If you don't mind me asking.
00:53:50Oh, no, no, no.
00:53:51It's, it's, it's okay.
00:53:52You have become quite a smart young woman.
00:53:56Let's see.
00:53:57How do I put this?
00:53:58Um, have you ever wanted a boy to notice you in a romantic way?
00:54:07Yes.
00:54:08I think I know what that's like.
00:54:10Well, it's great when it happens, right?
00:54:12And if you're friends before, it's all the better.
00:54:15You know, and you can enjoy a lot of each other.
00:54:18I can see that.
00:54:19Okay, so there's a step after that, right?
00:54:22And it's a really big one, where you acknowledge your hopes, your dreams, faults, fears.
00:54:31You know, they support you, you support them in growing and being better people.
00:54:38Am I making any sense?
00:54:40I think so.
00:54:41It's okay to want that, right?
00:54:42Of course.
00:54:43Because I, I feel like Ted is just okay with being friends.
00:54:49And that's lovely, don't get me wrong.
00:54:52But I want more.
00:54:53And bless him, but I think men can be totally clueless sometimes.
00:55:00Well, you should tell him.
00:55:03Oh, right.
00:55:05That's what you're trying to do.
00:55:08Yeah.
00:55:10Oh, Linda.
00:55:11Linda.
00:55:13It's, it's really difficult putting yourself out there, right?
00:55:18Because you might not get the answer that you want, or the answer that you expect.
00:55:22But I think it's still really good to do it.
00:55:26Well, I hope.
00:55:30He seems to agree with you.
00:55:32If you're not going to keep him, what are you going to do with him?
00:55:35Yeah, I'll take him to the pound on Monday.
00:55:36A family will adopt him right away.
00:55:39The pound?
00:55:41Oh, no.
00:55:42That's no good.
00:55:42Ted, I have a family.
00:55:44I don't want a new family.
00:55:46And I don't like kibble either.
00:55:49I'm sorry, Mom.
00:55:50I didn't mean to be such a jerk.
00:55:53No, I'm sorry.
00:55:54Okay?
00:55:55I was really upset about Ted.
00:55:56Come here.
00:55:57And I shouldn't have taken it out on you.
00:55:59Oh.
00:55:59I was just telling Molly that being a proactive adult stinks sometimes.
00:56:06Yeah, well, I'm sure Ted will be here soon.
00:56:09And we should take that book to Rachel's before he does.
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:15We'll be back soon.
00:56:17I'm sure Ted will be here by then, and we can get some food.
00:56:20And later, some ghost stories around the fire.
00:56:22Yeah, that would be nice.
00:56:24I came up with a cool one on my walk.
00:56:26It's about a zombie chick that gets hungry, deep fries her own face, and eats it.
00:56:30Oh, I retract my statement.
00:56:32Okay?
00:56:32That's not nice.
00:56:33That's gross.
00:56:34Why does it have to be a chick?
00:56:36Because if it was a dude, it'd just be silly.
00:56:39You're so weird.
00:56:40Thanks.
00:56:42What can I do to prove I'm me?
00:56:46It has to be something I can do.
00:56:48Chipmunks!
00:56:48Okay, okay, not chipmunks.
00:56:50I need to focus.
00:56:52There has to be chipmunks!
00:56:54Man, I don't know why, but I hate chipmunks.
00:56:58How can I get Linda's attention?
00:57:01Maybe if I bite her fingers.
00:57:03Nah.
00:57:04Maybe if I lick her some more.
00:57:06Nah.
00:57:07Maybe if I chew on her clothes.
00:57:09You know, why is everything I do so cute?
00:57:22Is that the book?
00:57:23Yes.
00:57:24Have a seat.
00:57:30What did I do?
00:57:34This book is very old and contains some very powerful magic.
00:57:39Um, tell me exactly what spell did you do?
00:57:50What did I do?
00:57:51Oh, sweetie, you couldn't have known the power contained in this book.
00:57:57It should never have come to light.
00:58:00It's okay, Molly.
00:58:01It can't be that bad.
00:58:02It is.
00:58:04Well, can you help us fix it?
00:58:05No.
00:58:06Can you help us find someone who can fix it?
00:58:09There isn't time.
00:58:10Throw me a bone here.
00:58:11What do we do anyway?
00:58:12This spell is a spell of transfiguration.
00:58:16There's only a few practitioners who could even attempt to accomplish it.
00:58:21And that would take years of training and guidance.
00:58:25But the book, it had the power stored in it, didn't it?
00:58:28I knew something didn't feel right.
00:58:32Yeah, um, yeah, this never should have come to light.
00:58:35And certainly not without having this power drained of it first.
00:58:39And you had the misfortune of tampering with it on Halloween.
00:58:45What's so big about that?
00:58:47Every religion, every tribe regards this time of the year as sacred.
00:58:52The line between the living and those that have passed over is the thinnest now and easiest to cross over.
00:59:01So all these energies just added to the spell's errant power.
00:59:06So, if I had done the spell on St. Paddy's Day, I'd have a pot of gold right now?
00:59:13No, that's a completely different spell with a completely different book.
00:59:18Super.
00:59:19So, what undead beast did we unleash?
00:59:23You didn't unleash anything.
00:59:25You, um, transformed someone.
00:59:28Who?
00:59:30Into what?
00:59:31Did you use the proper potions?
00:59:33Yes.
00:59:34Did you light a ceremonial candle?
00:59:37Yes.
00:59:38Did you say the correct words in the correct order?
00:59:42No.
00:59:47What exactly did you say?
00:59:49I said a bunch of different things.
00:59:51I was just goofing around.
00:59:53I told you not to do that.
00:59:55I know that now.
00:59:56Look, I need you guys to just calm down.
00:59:59We can fix this.
01:00:01But I have to know what you said.
01:00:04Klaatu.
01:00:06Burrata.
01:00:06I was messing around.
01:00:07I said a bunch of different words.
01:00:09But you said burrata?
01:00:11Yeah.
01:00:12And then what?
01:00:13Necktie.
01:00:15You didn't say nicto?
01:00:17No, I didn't.
01:00:19See, we couldn't have transformed anyone.
01:00:21Perhaps.
01:00:22As long as no one said nicto.
01:00:24Wait, what?
01:00:26Nicto.
01:00:28Nicto.
01:00:29It's a term that bespeaks all manner of tricksterism.
01:00:34Didn't Ted say nicto?
01:00:36Who's Ted?
01:00:37Is he the object of the spell?
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:41And he said nicto.
01:00:43Nicto.
01:00:43What, we actually turned Ted into something?
01:00:50What is he?
01:00:53You might want to ask Molly.
01:00:55I think she has an idea.
01:00:57What kind of awful mutant beast did we turn Ted into?
01:01:03A puppy.
01:01:05What?
01:01:07Think about it.
01:01:09He said the own trickster word for his own spell.
01:01:11And then Ted disappeared when the puppy showed up.
01:01:14It don't make sense.
01:01:16No.
01:01:17None of this makes sense.
01:01:19You're telling me that we turned my mom's boyfriend into a Halloween puppy.
01:01:22Oh, I'm so grounded.
01:01:24Now this puppy is with you?
01:01:26Yes.
01:01:27You need to take Ted back to where you did the spell.
01:01:30And take the spell book with you.
01:01:32Do the same ritual, but say the words in reverse order.
01:01:36And he'll change back?
01:01:37He should, but you don't have any time to waste.
01:01:40Why?
01:01:41It's Halloween night.
01:01:43I can't be certain if you'll ever have the power to change him back again.
01:01:47And if that's the case, then he could be a puppy forever.
01:01:52And please, bring the spell book back to me.
01:02:01I have to put it away properly.
01:02:03I will.
01:02:04I'm so sorry, Rachel.
01:02:06I didn't know.
01:02:08Sweetie, it wasn't your fault.
01:02:11Look, you know, we all make mistakes.
01:02:12It's how we take care of them that proves who we are.
01:02:15Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute.
01:02:18Okay.
01:02:20This is crazy.
01:02:22You're all just pulling me right.
01:02:23Yeah, there's a big trick to freak me out in front of my mom.
01:02:27All right.
01:02:27If you're some wisdom-dispensing witch, prove it.
01:02:39Okay, let's go.
01:02:40Good luck.
01:02:47This is actually happening, right?
01:02:49I trust Rachel, and I believe her.
01:02:51Do you?
01:02:52Well, kinda.
01:02:53That's not what I want to hear, though.
01:02:55I thought this was just a good, practical joke.
01:02:58I wish I could say it was.
01:02:59I don't have an overactive imagination or anything.
01:03:02And believe me, I usually think that the worst, most terrible things are gonna happen.
01:03:07And then things usually get really bad.
01:03:10Well, stop doing that.
01:03:13It's kinda my thing.
01:03:15I know, but look, Adam.
01:03:17I'm sure everything's gonna be just fine.
01:03:20How can you be so sure?
01:03:21Let's just get back to the cabin and see what we see.
01:03:34Where is he?
01:03:40On the couch.
01:03:43Ted?
01:03:44Is that you?
01:03:46He seems mad.
01:03:48Yeah, I'm mad, but it's me!
01:03:50You know it's me!
01:03:52Huzzah!
01:03:54Sorry about the dog prep, but please, just tell me you can turn me back.
01:03:59We're gonna try and turn you back, but we have to get you back home.
01:04:02What are we gonna tell your mother?
01:04:04The truth?
01:04:05Oh, yeah, hi.
01:04:07I turned your boyfriend into a dog.
01:04:08No!
01:04:09We're gonna lie.
01:04:11A lot.
01:04:12Just follow my lead.
01:04:14Got it.
01:04:15Go get him, Adam.
01:04:16Hey, sorry, I was on the phone.
01:04:21I still have not heard from Ted.
01:04:23I'm really worried now, you guys.
01:04:25Well, no need to worry, but we have to get back home.
01:04:27Ted called me.
01:04:28He called you?
01:04:28Why?
01:04:29Because he couldn't get a hold of you.
01:04:32Also, his car broke.
01:04:33No.
01:04:33I thought he was picking his car up.
01:04:36Oh, right.
01:04:37But, um, it broke again.
01:04:39Like, the reactor's bar snapped while he was driving, and then truck jackknifed, and a
01:04:45whole load of potatoes on the road.
01:04:46Real smashy-mashy.
01:04:47That doesn't make any sense.
01:04:49Oh, well, I guess not entirely.
01:04:52It...
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:55What really happened is...
01:04:57The truth is, he wanted to do something really nice for you back home, but he got held
01:05:02up.
01:05:05Yeah, a big, huge accounting emergency for someone.
01:05:09He only just finished.
01:05:11He knows how important this weekend was to you and your relationship, and he apologizes
01:05:16for not making it on time.
01:05:17He wants to make it up to you.
01:05:19He said that?
01:05:21I had to read between the lines a little bit.
01:05:24He's a little shy about revealing his emotions.
01:05:27Oh, yeah.
01:05:28Yeah, that's true.
01:05:30Well, I mean, I guess we could head back home.
01:05:33We'd get a little haunted house time in.
01:05:36If that's okay with you guys.
01:05:39Only if it's all right with...
01:05:41Yes!
01:05:43Okay, so, let's hit the road.
01:05:46Yes!
01:05:47Great.
01:05:51Everything's going to be okay.
01:05:54Isn't it?
01:05:55It always is in your horror movies, isn't it?
01:05:57Uh, not really.
01:05:59It, uh, usually turns out pretty bad, actually.
01:06:02Sorry.
01:06:04Bad example.
01:06:05Okay, look.
01:06:05We'll take the last part of the car ride and make a checklist of what I need, what we need
01:06:10to say, and what Rachel said.
01:06:12It's not that complicated.
01:06:14Nothing that's complicated usually starts out complicated.
01:06:17Unless it's complicated.
01:06:19No, I'm not making sense.
01:06:20Awesome.
01:06:23Don't worry.
01:06:24We can do this.
01:06:25Both of us.
01:06:27You're really good in a crisis, you know that?
01:06:29Thanks.
01:06:31I just hope I don't freak out.
01:06:32What?
01:06:33Nothing.
01:06:34Your mom's coming back.
01:06:36Let's make that list.
01:06:38What does he have?
01:06:39I want to know.
01:06:40I don't know, but I'm sure it's going to be great.
01:06:42I'm sure it'll be a great surprise.
01:06:44I don't know if I, I don't know if I love surprises.
01:06:46Okay, I love surprises.
01:06:49I can't wait.
01:06:50Oh my God, it's going to be so fun.
01:06:52I definitely got a surprise for you.
01:06:53I'm sure it'll be great.
01:06:54Oh, look at him.
01:06:58So cute.
01:06:59You think I was a good boy?
01:07:00Yes, he is.
01:07:21What are you doing?
01:07:21Making a list of all the things I'll need for the...
01:07:25Costume you're going to wear tonight?
01:07:28Yeah.
01:07:29Actually, do you mind dropping me off at my house before you go home?
01:07:33I need to change before I come over and do innocent Halloween stuff.
01:07:38Yeah, of course.
01:07:39Not a problem.
01:07:40I can't wait to find out what the surprise Ted has for me is.
01:07:52Linda, one way or another, I'm going to surprise the heck out of you.
01:07:55I'm going to let the little guy do his business in the backyard.
01:08:16Okay, great.
01:08:17I'll get the rest of the best.
01:08:19And let me know as soon as you see Ted.
01:08:20Oh, don't worry.
01:08:22I will.
01:08:23I'll get you over here.
01:08:26That's it.
01:08:27No.
01:08:28Just wait here.
01:08:29I'm always going to be here soon with all her potions and stuff, and we're going to get you back.
01:08:47As if we don't, well, yeah.
01:08:50Just don't worry.
01:08:52Wait.
01:08:53What do you mean, if you don't?
01:08:55You teenagers, you're in negativity.
01:09:04Perfect.
01:09:05We were just looking for you.
01:09:07Our haunted house is almost open.
01:09:09Just needed one more thing.
01:09:13No!
01:09:13No!
01:09:17Hey, did you see the look on Molly's face when we took that book from her?
01:09:20It's just like when we took her dolls.
01:09:21Remember that?
01:09:22Probably.
01:09:23I'd have to check my journal for details.
01:09:26You ever wonder if it's worth it?
01:09:27What?
01:09:29Bullying smaller and dumber kids to see if we have any greater societal worth?
01:09:33It's fun.
01:09:34That's all I know.
01:09:36True, but have you ever thought that we're doing more harm than good?
01:09:40No.
01:09:41I like making people feel bad.
01:09:43Makes me feel good.
01:09:45I like that.
01:09:46Okay, then.
01:09:48Well, now let's get the rest of this haunted house set up.
01:09:50Because I have a feeling we're going to be seeing Adam and Molly very soon.
01:09:53And I want to be ready.
01:09:54I want to scare them.
01:09:56A lot.
01:09:57Come on, Molly.
01:10:02Come on, Molly.
01:10:04Where are you?
01:10:05I'm going to be a dog forever, aren't I?
01:10:08Sad wolf.
01:10:09Hey.
01:10:14What happened?
01:10:15What's wrong?
01:10:16Where's the book?
01:10:17I'm sorry, Adam.
01:10:19They took it.
01:10:19Who?
01:10:20The twins.
01:10:22The twins.
01:10:23They said if we want it back, we have to go through their haunted house.
01:10:27We have to.
01:10:28But they're going to beat us up.
01:10:29Yeah, probably.
01:10:31Just wait here, Ted.
01:10:34Come on.
01:10:36My legs are four inches long.
01:10:39Where exactly am I going to?
01:10:41Vegas?
01:10:41Vegas?
01:10:41Are you ready to go in?
01:10:56No.
01:10:58We have to, you know.
01:11:02I know.
01:11:03I know.
01:11:11Give the book back, Nicky.
01:11:18Real scary, Nicky.
01:11:22Give the book back, please.
01:11:25You haven't even made it to the inn.
01:11:27Unless you're too scared.
01:11:32Are you okay?
01:11:34Yeah, I'm fine.
01:11:41Let's just get the book and get out of here.
01:11:57What is that?
01:11:58It's just a plastic spider.
01:12:00Sorry.
01:12:01I'm sorry.
01:12:02Just get mad.
01:12:03Come on.
01:12:11It's a spell book.
01:12:29Now where are you going so fast?
01:12:34Yeah, you're not done being in our haunted house yet.
01:12:36You're going to help us out before all the neighborhood kids get here.
01:12:38Just give us the book.
01:12:40Why?
01:12:42I thought you liked haunted houses.
01:12:43I like good haunted houses.
01:12:45Oh, listen to you, big boy.
01:12:49So here's what you're going to do.
01:12:50You're going to lay down on our altar and be our victim for the week.
01:12:53Yeah, and we're going to kill you over and over again all night and spray you with fake blood and guts and stuff.
01:12:59Then, maybe, we'll give you the book.
01:13:03Whoa.
01:13:04Oh, your girlfriend looks a little scared.
01:13:07Maybe you should go give her a hug.
01:13:10We're going to beat you up either way.
01:13:11Come on.
01:13:15Molly?
01:13:17Just follow my lead.
01:13:22You two are going to give me back my book and let us out of here.
01:13:26Now, I'm not asking again.
01:13:29You better do what she says.
01:13:31You wouldn't like it when she's angry.
01:13:32Oh, please.
01:13:36Just do what we tell you.
