MOLLY: There she is! But what's... Oh, no!
21
00:00:48,173 --> 00:00:50,550
Worm Woman's surrounded!
(gasps)
22
00:00:50,633 --> 00:00:53,053
Dr. Featherbrain! Aw, so whatcha gonna do?
23
00:00:53,136 --> 00:00:54,846
SCRATCH: Turn the page already, come on!
24
00:00:54,929 --> 00:00:57,766
I need to know how Worm Woman
wiggles her way out of this one!
25
00:00:57,849 --> 00:00:58,850
MOLLY: Hey, don't rush me!
26
00:00:58,933 --> 00:01:00,977
SCRATCH: Worm Woman
makes it to the Big Apple.
27
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,562
Wow, what an ending!
28
00:01:02,645 --> 00:01:05,148
Wha... Scratch! Spoilers!
29
00:01:05,607 --> 00:01:07,734
Ooh, and what are we reading here?
30
00:01:07,817 --> 00:01:09,694
Uh, writing, not reading.
31
00:01:09,778 --> 00:01:13,490
My journal contains my hopes,
my fears, my very essence!
32
00:01:13,573 --> 00:01:17,077
Eh, pass. Not really
a autobiography kinda guy.
33
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,204
Turtledove, I've got a honey-do list
34
00:01:19,287 --> 00:01:22,415
as long as your arm,
but no honey to do the doing.
35
00:01:22,499 --> 00:01:25,335
Think you can handle
watching the store alone?
36
00:01:25,418 --> 00:01:28,004
Of course you can.
You're a capable young woman!
37
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:31,382
You've got this! Love you! Bye!
38
00:01:31,466 --> 00:01:32,467
(doorbell jingles)
39
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:34,344
Me? Watch the store?
40
00:01:34,427 --> 00:01:35,762
Without supervision?
41
00:01:35,845 --> 00:01:39,224
"Dear Journal, will I rise to the occasion
42
00:01:39,307 --> 00:01:41,851
of this awesome responsibility?"
43
00:01:41,935 --> 00:01:46,606
-I really hope so!
-(ghost slurping in distance)
44
00:01:46,981 --> 00:01:50,026
Does anyone hear... slurping?
45
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:52,403
No food or drink in the store on my watch!
46
00:01:52,737 --> 00:01:55,532
(ghost slurping continues)
47
00:01:56,741 --> 00:02:00,703
Aw! It's a cute wittle ghost!
It must love reading!
48
00:02:00,787 --> 00:02:02,080
What's your poison, little ghoul?
49
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:05,959
Romantic fiction? Romantic nonfiction?
50
00:02:06,668 --> 00:02:09,087
(slurping)
51
00:02:09,170 --> 00:02:12,757
Okay. It is devouring books. Literally.
52
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:15,385
Hey! You gotta buy before you try!
53
00:02:15,468 --> 00:02:18,221
(belches, giggles)
54
00:02:18,555 --> 00:02:21,141
Oh, no, no, no, no, no! This is bad!
55
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:25,311
Don't worry, Libby! We have the leader
of the Ghost World on our side.
56
00:02:25,395 --> 00:02:28,898
Yep! That's me, ah...
Okay, let me get in here.
57
00:02:28,982 --> 00:02:31,442
I just gotta identify this ghost type
we're dealin' with.
58
00:02:31,526 --> 00:02:34,195
I'd say what we got here is a, uh...
59
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:36,906
LIBBY: Uh, looks like
a Story Sprite to me.
60
00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:39,450
I mean, yeah, yeah,
that's what the laypeople call it.
61
00:02:39,534 --> 00:02:41,536
-(clears throat)
-Uh, okay, uh...
62
00:02:41,619 --> 00:02:43,955
"It's a ghost that consumes knowledge.
63
00:02:44,038 --> 00:02:45,540
They're said to have caused the Dark Ages
64
00:02:45,623 --> 00:02:47,834
-by destroying the world's books!"
-SCRATCH: "...world's books." Yes, yes!
65
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:51,129
Good. That's exactly what they do,
and I know that's true,
66
00:02:51,212 --> 00:02:52,881
because I've experienced them many times.
67
00:02:52,964 --> 00:02:55,008
Yeah, but I can't let
the store get destroyed
68
00:02:55,091 --> 00:02:56,467
on the one day I'm in charge!
69
00:02:56,551 --> 00:02:57,844
Mom's counting on me!
70
00:02:57,927 --> 00:03:00,054
We have got to get rid
of this Story Sprite!
71
00:03:00,138 --> 00:03:02,473
-At least we don't have...
-(bell jingles)
72
00:03:02,557 --> 00:03:04,434
(gasps)
A customer!
73
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:07,270
(sonar beeping)
74
00:03:07,353 --> 00:03:08,980
ALL: Ollie?
75
00:03:09,063 --> 00:03:10,148
-(Molly grunts)
-Huh?
76
00:03:10,773 --> 00:03:14,527
We cannot deal with a rogue ghost
and a ghost hunter at the same time!
77
00:03:14,611 --> 00:03:18,406
Well, we don't know that he's here
in a ghost-hunting capacity.
78
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:20,617
He might be here
because he loves literature.
79
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:22,035
-Wow! Mm-hmm.
-Mmm...
80
00:03:22,118 --> 00:03:23,286
Well, he's a good person!
81
00:03:23,369 --> 00:03:26,664
With his sense of civic duty
and his cute little laugh,
82
00:03:26,748 --> 00:03:27,707
-and...
-Oh, boy.
83
00:03:27,790 --> 00:03:29,042
The way his hair does that...
84
00:03:29,125 --> 00:03:30,627
just that adorable swoopy thing, and...
85
00:03:32,253 --> 00:03:33,504
-(powers down)
-What, you brought it up!
86
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:34,881
-No, we didn't.
-We did not.
87
00:03:34,964 --> 00:03:35,965
-(crashes)
-Well, you did!
88
00:03:36,049 --> 00:03:38,009
I heard you said... Look, never mind!
89
00:03:38,092 --> 00:03:40,178
You two worry about the Story Sprite,
and I'll deal with Ollie.
90
00:03:40,261 --> 00:03:42,388
(theme song remix playing)
91
00:03:42,472 --> 00:03:44,182
MOLLY: ♪ Ghost, ghost ♪
92
00:03:44,265 --> 00:03:46,351
♪ And Molly McGee ♪
93
00:03:47,101 --> 00:03:50,063
Oh, Ollie! Hey! Hi! Great to see ya!
94
00:03:50,146 --> 00:03:52,273
Wait... Whoa!
(grunts)
95
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:53,900
But now's not a great time.
96
00:03:53,983 --> 00:03:56,861
We're closed for, uh...
bookworm fumigation?
97
00:03:56,945 --> 00:03:58,488
Bookworms are the least of your worries.
98
00:03:58,571 --> 00:04:01,074
My ecto-detector's telling me
there's a ghost in this store!
99
00:04:01,157 --> 00:04:02,867
-(beeps)
-(gasps)
100
00:04:02,951 --> 00:04:05,495
-(blaring)
-What? That can't be right.
101
00:04:05,578 --> 00:04:09,540
Don't worry, Molly, I won't stand by
and let innocent book lovers be haunted!
102
00:04:09,624 --> 00:04:11,251
I'll rid you of this phantom.
103
00:04:11,334 --> 00:04:14,462
And, if I happen to prove with hard,
indisputable evidence ghosts exist,
104
00:04:14,545 --> 00:04:16,965
-hey, bonus, right?
-Right.
105
00:04:17,548 --> 00:04:18,800
-(slurping)
-Okay, uh...
106
00:04:18,883 --> 00:04:21,970
It says here, the first thing to know
about Story Sprites is, uh...
107
00:04:22,053 --> 00:04:27,141
Libby! You think some human book
is gonna tell me how to do my job?
108
00:04:27,225 --> 00:04:28,601
Get outta here! Shoo!
109
00:04:28,685 --> 00:04:30,353
(ominous music)
110
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:33,356
Scratch! It says here
the Story Sprite's defense mechanism
111
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,608
is they can become the words they eat!
112
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:37,610
(slurping)
113
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:43,241
(roars)
114
00:04:43,324 --> 00:04:44,784
Just taking a stab in the dark here,
115
00:04:44,867 --> 00:04:47,328
but I'm guessing that book
was the story of a minotaur?
116
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:48,788
(roaring)
117
00:04:48,871 --> 00:04:52,583
My ghoul goggles will show me
anything supernatural in this shop!
118
00:04:52,667 --> 00:04:54,419
And they help me
keep my swoopy bangs back.
119
00:04:54,502 --> 00:04:56,671
(nervous chuckle)
So I noticed.
120
00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:58,673
-(both screaming)
-(roars)
121
00:04:58,756 --> 00:05:00,717
-(crashing)
-What was that?
122
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,218
Wa... Wait! I've got a signal!
123
00:05:02,302 --> 00:05:04,137
Beep, boop-boop-boop-boop.
Beep. B-Bup, bup.
124
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:06,306
It's pointing outside!
125
00:05:06,389 --> 00:05:07,432
-Let's go!
-Wha...
126
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:10,810
(slurping)
127
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:15,106
If you want these books,
you'll have to go through me!
128
00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:16,274
-(roars)
-Yipe!
129
00:05:18,067 --> 00:05:19,902
(roars)
130
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:21,446
(eerie music stings)
131
00:05:21,529 --> 00:05:22,572
(hisses)
132
00:05:23,614 --> 00:05:26,743
Libby! Turning it into a vampire
isn't really helping.
133
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:29,329
Please, let the expert handle this.
134
00:05:29,412 --> 00:05:30,788
-(hisses)
-Okay, buddy.
135
00:05:30,872 --> 00:05:32,040
Gloves are coming off!
136
00:05:32,123 --> 00:05:33,291
I didn't want to have to do this,
137
00:05:33,374 --> 00:05:35,543
but I'm putting on
my spooky Chairman robe!
138
00:05:35,626 --> 00:05:38,129
-(thunder rumbles)
-(demonic voice) As Chairman,
139
00:05:38,212 --> 00:05:40,506
-I command you to...
-(chirping)
140
00:05:40,590 --> 00:05:41,758
(hisses)
141
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:43,051
And that's helping, how?
142
00:05:43,134 --> 00:05:45,011
I'm just wearin' him down.
143
00:05:45,678 --> 00:05:47,472
MOLLY: Beep, boop-boop-boop,
beep, boo-bop-bop.
144
00:05:47,555 --> 00:05:48,848
-Beep, boo-bop-bop.
-(sighs)
145
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:49,932
We've lost the ghost.
146
00:05:50,016 --> 00:05:52,977
I feel like I've let Brighton,
and you, down.
147
00:05:53,061 --> 00:05:55,480
You know, what if maybe,
stick with me here,
148
00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:57,774
ghosts can be good?
149
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:01,486
Like, what if a kindly ghost
and her pet bear
150
00:06:01,569 --> 00:06:04,322
were helping maintain the town,
for a random example I just made up?
151
00:06:04,405 --> 00:06:06,824
Or what if the ghosts of mayors past
152
00:06:06,908 --> 00:06:08,868
could keep an eye out
for our Brighton's future?
153
00:06:08,951 --> 00:06:10,161
That wouldn't be so bad, right?
154
00:06:10,244 --> 00:06:11,871
And what if we became ghosts?
155
00:06:11,954 --> 00:06:13,164
Would we be bad?
156
00:06:13,247 --> 00:06:15,458
Because I would be
the friendliest ghost ever,
157
00:06:15,541 --> 00:06:16,959
en-happifying wherever I went!
158
00:06:17,043 --> 00:06:20,880
Molly, I love your optimism.
But ghosts aren't like us.
159
00:06:20,963 --> 00:06:24,592
They live to scare!
They're mean, horrible creatures
160
00:06:24,675 --> 00:06:26,469
who prey on helpless kids!
161
00:06:26,552 --> 00:06:28,846
No one deserves to live in fear! No one!
162
00:06:29,847 --> 00:06:32,266

Mmm! My favorite. Vanilla fudge.
186
00:07:57,768 --> 00:08:00,354
No, I don't want it.
It's too black and white.
187
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:02,607
The world isn't black and white, Ollie!
188
00:08:02,690 --> 00:08:04,609
Uh... you want to add sprinkles?
189
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:07,361
Oh, well, if sprinkles are on the table,
we should obviously add sprinkles.
190
00:08:07,820 --> 00:08:10,990
Look, I just don't understand
why you're so sure that ghosts are bad.
191
00:08:11,073 --> 00:08:12,033
What did they do to you?
192
00:08:12,116 --> 00:08:14,368
They didn't do anything to me. But my Dad?
193
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:16,370
Maybe I should just show you
what they did to him.
194
00:08:16,454 --> 00:08:17,914
(eerie music playing)
195
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:19,123
DOLL: Mama.
196
00:08:19,207 --> 00:08:20,833

-(glass breaking)
-(thunder rumbles)
198
00:08:25,296 --> 00:08:27,131
My name is Ruben Chen.
199
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:29,509
My experience happened
one dark and stormy night,
200
00:08:29,592 --> 00:08:30,635
when I was a boy.
201
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:34,347
I had just finished blowing the dust out
of my video game cartridge collection...
202
00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:35,389
-(screams)
-...when I was attacked
203
00:08:35,473 --> 00:08:36,474
by a vicious ghost!
204
00:08:36,557 --> 00:08:38,142
-(roars)
-Since that day,
205
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:40,686
I vowed to prove ghosts exist.
206
00:08:40,770 --> 00:08:43,356
And then rid the world of them!
207
00:08:43,439 --> 00:08:44,941
We're going to do it together!
208
00:08:45,024 --> 00:08:46,067
We are...
209
00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:48,236
ALL: The Ghost Chaser Chens!
210
00:08:48,319 --> 00:08:50,321
Smash that like button and subscribe!
211
00:08:50,404 --> 00:08:51,489
(powering up)
212
00:08:51,572 --> 00:08:53,741
Most Unbelievers think we're a joke.
213
00:08:53,824 --> 00:08:57,370
But not you, Molly.
I feel like you really get me.
214
00:08:57,453 --> 00:08:59,372
We both want to en-goodify the world!
215
00:08:59,455 --> 00:09:01,582
By getting rid of ghosts?
216
00:09:01,666 --> 00:09:04,001
-(sprinkles shaking)
-Right! Uh, Molly?
217
00:09:04,085 --> 00:09:05,753
Maybe ease back on the sprinkles?
218
00:09:05,836 --> 00:09:07,505
Oh! (laughs nervously, sighs)
219
00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:10,925
"Dear Journal, this is my final entry."
220
00:09:11,008 --> 00:09:13,302
-(screaming, grunting)
-"All hope is lost."
221
00:09:14,637 --> 00:09:18,140
Unless... Scratch, did you figure out
a way to save us?
222
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:20,393
Nope! We're doomed!
(groans)
223
00:09:20,476 --> 00:09:21,519
(grunts)
224
00:09:22,436 --> 00:09:23,729
-(Story Sprite roars)
-(both gasp)
225
00:09:23,813 --> 00:09:25,523
(roaring)
226
00:09:25,606 --> 00:09:27,692
-Oh, no, no, no!
-Oh! Please don't eat me!
227
00:09:27,775 --> 00:09:29,527
Wait a minute. That's it!
228
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:32,363
Story Sprites are what they eat!
229
00:09:32,446 --> 00:09:34,031
(shouts, groans)
230
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:35,491
(chomps)
231
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:36,784
(wind blows)
232
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,747
Whoa. That journal really is you.
233
00:09:41,831 --> 00:09:44,500
What have I done?
This place is a disaster!
234
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:47,169
Right? What's Mom gonna say
when she gets back?
235
00:09:47,253 --> 00:09:49,046
She's gonna be so disappointed!
236
00:09:49,130 --> 00:09:52,550
Yeah, she trusted you,
and you didn't rise to the occasion!
237
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:54,552
Oh, the shame!
238
00:09:54,635 --> 00:09:56,721
This feels worse than the time
at Andrea's sleepover
239
00:09:56,804 --> 00:09:57,847
in third grade when I...
240
00:09:57,930 --> 00:09:59,432
Uh-uh-uh! No need to bring that up.
241
00:09:59,515 --> 00:10:00,766
Stick to the abridged version.
242
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:04,395
Oh, yeah. Sorry, Libby. I'm sorry, Mom!
243
00:10:04,478 --> 00:10:06,355
I would do anything to make this right!
244
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:10,026
You could put all the words
back in the books?
245
00:10:10,109 --> 00:10:12,653
Consider it done!
(retching)
246
00:10:22,747 --> 00:10:25,708
-(bell jingles)
-(belches, giggles)
247
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:27,585
-Scratch, you were right.
-(bell jingles)
248
00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:30,630
Ollie may be dreamy, but he's dangerous.
249
00:10:30,713 --> 00:10:33,132
Hmph. The dreamy ones always are, kid.
250
00:10:33,215 --> 00:10:35,217
I thought I could change
his mind about ghosts,
251
00:10:35,301 --> 00:10:39,263
but even though we're so alike,
maybe we're still too different.
252
00:10:39,347 --> 00:10:41,682
Ugh! I hate this!
253
00:10:41,766 --> 00:10:44,060
I know deep, deep, deep down,
254
00:10:44,143 --> 00:10:45,936
he's just afraid
of what he doesn't understand.
255
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,189
Well, this bookstore was completely ruined
256
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:51,359
before the Story Sprite
came to understand me, so...
257
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,819
So... maybe there's still hope?
258
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:55,029
-(humming)
-Huh?
259
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:56,656
(gasps)
260
00:10:56,739 --> 00:10:58,407
(suspenseful music)
261
00:11:01,285 --> 00:11:03,120
(bell jingles)
262
00:11:04,622 --> 00:11:06,374
-Phew!
-MS. STEIN-TORRES: Whoa-ho-ho!
263
00:11:06,457 --> 00:11:09,293
This place is looking cleaner
than I left it!
264
00:11:09,377 --> 00:11:10,503
Great job, kiddo.
265
00:11:11,796 --> 00:11:13,631
Yes! I nailed it!
266
00:11:13,714 --> 00:11:16,092
(clears throat)
You just put a cookbook
267
00:11:16,175 --> 00:11:18,094
-in the True Crime section.
-Close enough.
268
00:11:18,177 --> 00:11:20,554
SCRATCH AND MOLLY:
♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪
269
00:11:21,889 --> 00:11:23,891
(light music playing)
270
00:11:26,686 --> 00:11:28,062
(school bell rings)
271
00:11:28,145 --> 00:11:30,940
I've tried everything I can think of
to mold Darryl into a good student,
272
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:33,651
but we still end up with things like this!
273
00:11:34,443 --> 00:11:36,404
(gasps)
How could you, Darryl?
274
00:11:36,487 --> 00:11:39,031
Honestly, getting the chalk
was the hardest part.
275
00:11:39,115 --> 00:11:41,951
Everything after that was... easy.
276
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:45,705
We'll have a long, hard chat
about this after school, young man.
277
00:11:45,788 --> 00:11:47,832
No recess until this wall sparkles!
278
00:11:51,669 --> 00:11:52,837
(stifling laughter)
279
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,215
(both laughing)
280
00:11:56,298 --> 00:11:59,135
Wow! That drawing!
Did he capture O'Connor, or what?
281
00:11:59,218 --> 00:12:01,512
And his line work?
Chalk is a tricky medium,
282
00:12:01,595 --> 00:12:03,723
but he's showing
some real artistic potential.
283
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:06,475
Not that a school wall
is an appropriate medium.
284
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,228
Or that his principal
is an appropriate subject.
285
00:12:09,311 --> 00:12:10,563
Of course, of course.
286
00:12:10,646 --> 00:12:12,189
-(car starts)
-(both snickering)
287
00:12:12,273 --> 00:12:13,858
But you grabbed a picture of that, right?
288
00:12:15,067 --> 00:12:17,153
(kids laughing)
289
00:12:17,236 --> 00:12:19,155
-(inhales deeply)
-Let me guess,
290
00:12:19,238 --> 00:12:21,115
you're here to give me a Molly lecture
291
00:12:21,198 --> 00:12:23,075
-about being good?
-(stifled laughter)
292
00:12:23,159 --> 00:12:24,493
(groans)
Okay, fine!
293
00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:26,746
But what happened to living by the motto
294
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,205
"What Would Molly Do?"
295
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:32,168
Hmm. She'd probably
help her brother clean this wall.
296
00:12:32,251 --> 00:12:34,211
Yeah, okay, just hand me
that scrubber, Mister,
297
00:12:34,295 --> 00:12:36,839
and let's wait a second!
298
00:12:36,922 --> 00:12:38,132
I'm not gonna help you, Darryl.
299
00:12:38,215 --> 00:12:40,009
If I do, you're not gonna
learn your lesson.
300
00:12:40,843 --> 00:12:41,802
(squeaks)
301
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:44,096
Okay, I'm just gonna do
one little scrub, and that's it!
302
00:12:45,806 --> 00:12:46,891
Okay, one more.
303
00:12:46,974 --> 00:12:49,310
She... she can never do
just one, Darryl, don't worry.
304
00:12:49,393 --> 00:12:50,853
Okay, I missed a spot. I'm done!
305
00:12:50,936 --> 00:12:52,938
That felt good. All yours, Darryl.
306
00:12:53,022 --> 00:12:55,566
Yeah, this seems like
mind-numbing, soulless work,
307
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:57,735
so I'm gonna go ahead and bounce.
308
00:12:57,818 --> 00:12:59,862
-Deuces!
-Soulless?
309
00:12:59,945 --> 00:13:01,071
-Wait!
-(grunting)
310
00:13:01,155 --> 00:13:03,115
Molly, you used a ghost portal
311
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:05,659
to split your spirit and body, right?
312
00:13:06,702 --> 00:13:07,661
Why, yes, I did.
313
00:13:07,745 --> 00:13:09,455
To save Scratch in the Ghost World.
314
00:13:09,538 --> 00:13:11,499
And I would do it again, my buddy!
315
00:13:11,999 --> 00:13:14,919
Okay, well, if you want me
to do what Molly would do,
316
00:13:15,002 --> 00:13:17,004
then I should split myself in two!
317
00:13:17,087 --> 00:13:19,465
Then my soulless shell can clean the wall
318
00:13:19,548 --> 00:13:21,675
while I grab some sweet recess action!
319
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:23,219
Wha... I didn't... Ugh!
320
00:13:23,302 --> 00:13:25,930
That is not what I meant,
and you know it, Darryl!
321
00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,181
It's only fair, Moll.
322
00:13:27,264 --> 00:13:29,558
He's literally doing what you did.
323
00:13:32,144 --> 00:13:34,230
(groans)
Fine, fine, fine!
324
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:36,398
But... just for recess, all right?
325
00:13:36,482 --> 00:13:37,650
Yes!
326
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:41,403
(crackles)
327
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:43,239
(laughs)
Awesome!
328
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:46,283
All right, Shell-Me, get scrubbin'.
329
00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:49,245
-Okay.
-He'll do whatever I tell him?
330
00:13:49,328 --> 00:13:51,664
Aw, I love this guy!
(gasps)
331
00:13:51,747 --> 00:13:54,542
Come on, Scratch!
Recess is already half over!
332
00:13:56,752 --> 00:14:01,257
Whoo! I always knew flying
would be the best super-power!
333
00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:06,220
Personally, I'm more of a telepathy gal,
but flying is a solid second choice.
334
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:09,223
-Cool!
-(Scratch clears throat)
335
00:14:09,306 --> 00:14:10,599
Watch and learn.
336
00:14:11,475 --> 00:14:13,060
(inhales deeply, grunts)
337
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:15,229
(exclaims)
338
00:14:17,022 --> 00:14:18,774
(sighs)
Refreshing.
339
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:20,818
(gasps)
Lemme try!
340
00:14:21,902 --> 00:14:23,445
(breathes deeply)
341
00:14:24,572 --> 00:14:26,073
(exclaiming)
342
00:14:26,156 --> 00:14:29,159
-(grunts, chuckling)
-(both laugh)
343
00:14:29,243 --> 00:14:30,202
It's fun, right?
344
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,665
You know, this actually
worked out pretty well.
345
00:14:34,748 --> 00:14:36,375
-No harm done!
-(school bell rings)
346
00:14:36,458 --> 00:14:38,460
But now it's time to get back in your body
347
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,838
-and go to class.
-Oh! Better idea.
348
00:14:40,921 --> 00:14:42,673
Shell-Me, go to class.
349
00:14:42,756 --> 00:14:44,466
-All right.
-Uh, Darryl,
350
00:14:44,550 --> 00:14:46,010
I don't think this is a good...
351
00:14:46,093 --> 00:14:47,553
Molly, look at him!
352
00:14:47,636 --> 00:14:49,805
He's so excited to go to class.
353
00:14:49,889 --> 00:14:51,891
You can see it on his face.
354
00:14:51,974 --> 00:14:53,642
We should let him finish out the day.
355
00:14:53,726 --> 00:14:55,853
(nervous laughter)
But isn't this cheating?
356
00:14:55,936 --> 00:14:57,271
O'Connor wants me to be good.
357
00:14:57,354 --> 00:14:58,647
Mom and Dad want me to be good.
358
00:14:58,731 --> 00:15:02,151
You want me to be good!
Well, I'm being good! See?
359
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:04,528
Aw, look at him, he's taking notes!
360
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:07,197
(groans)
Okay, just until school's over!
361
00:15:07,281 --> 00:15:08,198
You got it!
362
00:15:09,533 --> 00:15:11,785
Since I'm invisible,
363
00:15:11,869 --> 00:15:14,204
you ready
for some consequence-free pranks?
364
00:15:14,288 --> 00:15:17,875
I was wondering how long it'd take you
to connect those dots.
365

382
00:16:13,889 --> 00:16:15,516
Thank you kindly, Darryl.
383
00:16:15,599 --> 00:16:17,518
I appreciate that very much.
384
00:16:17,601 --> 00:16:20,020
Well, Darryl, Shell-You
was pretty great today.
385
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:22,815
But I am glad the two yous
are back together as one.
386
00:16:22,898 --> 00:16:23,941
Me too!
(chuckles)
387
00:16:24,024 --> 00:16:25,442
Totally back together.
388
00:16:25,526 --> 00:16:27,027
Yeah, they're totally back together...
389
00:16:27,111 --> 00:16:28,195
Why are you guys laughing?
390
00:16:28,445 --> 00:16:29,780
-Darryl!
-What?
391
00:16:29,863 --> 00:16:31,490
We agreed on the whole day!
392
00:16:31,573 --> 00:16:33,283
We did not, and you know it!
393
00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:36,286
But I've never felt
more alive than as a ghost!
394
00:16:36,370 --> 00:16:39,039
SHARON: Darryl McGee,
you come here right now, young man.
395
00:16:39,123 --> 00:16:40,749
Sure would hate to be me right now.
396
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,168
He's about to be so grounded.
397
00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:46,338
Principal O'Connor just called
398
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:48,799
and said you were like
a whole new kid today!
399
00:16:48,882 --> 00:16:52,720
O'Connor said, and I quote,
"Darryl was a model student!"
400
00:16:53,387 --> 00:16:55,389
(gasps)
I don't know what's changed,
401
00:16:55,472 --> 00:16:57,933
but we are so, so proud of you!
402
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:59,852
-Hooray.
-PETE: Okay, you've earned a treat.
403
00:16:59,935 --> 00:17:02,229
Whaddya want? Ice cream?
Extra screen time?
404
00:17:02,312 --> 00:17:05,399
Huh. They look really... happy.
405
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,862
Okay, Darryl. Look at me. Eyes here.
406
00:17:11,155 --> 00:17:15,034
Now, this obviously isn't enough cookie
for a hungry ghost.
407
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:17,036
What do we do? Watch this.
408
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:21,040
Boom! Infinitely higher
cookie to body ratio.
409
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:24,960
(mouth full)
Is there some reason
410
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,795
you're not excited about a giant cookie?
411
00:17:26,879 --> 00:17:28,005
I don't know, Scratch.
412
00:17:28,088 --> 00:17:31,759
Just Mom and Dad are really proud
of boring Shell-Darryl.
413
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:33,177
Which feels weird.
414
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:36,472
You don't think everyone loves him
better than me, do you?
415
00:17:36,555 --> 00:17:38,891
(gulps)
What? No! Of course not.
416
00:17:38,974 --> 00:17:41,393
Who could love that empty shell over you?
417
00:17:41,477 --> 00:17:43,812
Aw, Darryl!
(sighs)
418
00:17:43,896 --> 00:17:46,356
I know you're just a body
and not my real brother,
419
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,816
but... Oh, look at us!
420
00:17:47,900 --> 00:17:51,612
No shenanigans, all schoolwork!
This is nice.
421
00:17:51,987 --> 00:17:53,030
Molly, too!
422
00:17:53,113 --> 00:17:55,365
And she knows he's not me,
which makes it worse!
423
00:17:55,449 --> 00:17:58,160
My whole family likes him better! Why?
424
00:17:58,243 --> 00:18:00,704
Yeah! Just because he's a model student
425
00:18:00,788 --> 00:18:03,123
and a well-behaved son
and a thoughtful brother...
426
00:18:03,207 --> 00:18:04,374
Hold on a minute.
427
00:18:04,458 --> 00:18:05,959
You know what, I see it now.
428
00:18:06,043 --> 00:18:07,628
Quite clearly. Wow.
429
00:18:07,711 --> 00:18:10,881
Well, if they love that stupid shell
more than they love me,
430
00:18:10,964 --> 00:18:13,801
they can have him.
I'll... I'll just stay a ghost forever!
431
00:18:13,884 --> 00:18:17,137
Uh-huh. What? What? No! No, wait!
432
00:18:17,221 --> 00:18:19,723
You're the only one
who likes the real me, Scratch.
433
00:18:19,807 --> 00:18:22,226
Whaddya say you and me
hit the Ghost World?
434
00:18:22,309 --> 00:18:23,936
(nervous laughter)
I mean, this has really
435
00:18:24,019 --> 00:18:25,562
spiraled out of control, hasn't it?
436
00:18:25,646 --> 00:18:26,980
You can't stay a ghost forever!
437
00:18:27,064 --> 00:18:29,399
I... I can't think of a reason right now.
438
00:18:30,609 --> 00:18:33,112
Get out of here, you piece of garbage!
439
00:18:33,195 --> 00:18:34,863
Just give me five minutes, okay? Yeah.
440
00:18:34,947 --> 00:18:37,324
Then you'll have everything,
my family, my friends,
441
00:18:37,407 --> 00:18:41,161
my blueprints for future pranks
that will no doubt go to waste!
442
00:18:41,578 --> 00:18:43,622
(sighs)
Goodbye, room.
443
00:18:43,705 --> 00:18:47,209
Goodbye, life. Goodbye, Heidi Hairylegs.
444
00:18:52,631 --> 00:18:53,465
(thuds)
445
00:18:53,549 --> 00:18:55,384
(grunting)
446
00:18:55,467 --> 00:18:57,886
Fine! He gets the suitcase, too!
447
00:18:58,137 --> 00:19:01,849
Oh! I still think you might be
making a hasty decision here, buddy!
448
00:19:01,932 --> 00:19:03,809
You can't change my mind, Scratch!
449
00:19:03,892 --> 00:19:04,810
SHARON: Pete?
450
00:19:06,436 --> 00:19:09,648
Does Darryl seem a little strange to you?
451
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:11,483
(sighs)
I am so glad you said it.
452
00:19:11,567 --> 00:19:13,193
I know he's behaving better
and all, but...
453
00:19:13,277 --> 00:19:14,945
It's like the spark has gone out of him.
454
00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,489
Just this morning,
he was doing hilariously insulting
455
00:19:17,573 --> 00:19:19,867
-caricatures of authority figures!
-(gasps)
456
00:19:19,950 --> 00:19:22,077
Which have only gotten funnier
with time! Oh, no.
457
00:19:22,161 --> 00:19:24,997
Did we break his spirit?
Sharon! We broke our son!
458
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,001
Wait, wait, wait. Maybe Mom and Dad
actually do love the real me.
459
00:19:29,084 --> 00:19:32,087
The soulful, troublemaking, real me!
460
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:33,797
-Molly, too, probably.
-Duh!
461
00:19:33,881 --> 00:19:35,674
No one's picking that shell over you!
462
00:19:35,757 --> 00:19:38,468
Except maybe O'Connor.
But you know, can you blame him?
463
00:19:38,552 --> 00:19:39,928
I cannot.
(sighs)
464
00:19:40,220 --> 00:19:42,097
Scratch, what was I thinking?
465
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,725
I can't leave my family
with that wet noodle.
466
00:19:44,808 --> 00:19:47,352
Exactly! Glad I could finally
get through to you.
467
00:19:47,436 --> 00:19:49,229
I'm gonna get some cookies to celebrate.
468
00:19:49,313 --> 00:19:50,647
-(door closes)
-Huh?
469
00:19:51,565 --> 00:19:53,567
(tense music)
470
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,487
(gasps)
Okay, I did call him garbage,
471
00:19:57,571 --> 00:19:59,698
and he always does what he's told.
472
00:19:59,781 --> 00:20:00,991
This is on me.
473
00:20:01,992 --> 00:20:04,036
(action music playing)
474
00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:05,412

00:20:20,636 --> 00:20:22,012
(gasps, sighs)
479
00:20:22,095 --> 00:20:23,096
(gasps)
480
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,981
No, no, no! I need my body back!
481
00:20:35,317 --> 00:20:36,985
-Boo!
-(screams)
482
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,780
(laughs)
Okay, okay. Okay.
483
00:20:39,863 --> 00:20:41,323
Focus, Darryl.
484
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:45,619
(grunts)
485
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:49,039

(gasping)
487
00:20:52,584 --> 00:20:55,045
I'm so sorry I abandoned you, body!
488
00:20:55,128 --> 00:20:57,381
I won't do it again, ever, okay?
489
00:20:57,464 --> 00:20:58,924
Bring it in, bro!
490
00:21:00,509 --> 00:21:01,969
(gasps)
491
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:05,180
Okay, let's go home.
492
00:21:05,264 --> 00:21:08,767
Ow! Right, not a ghost anymore.
493
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:11,353
The old Darryl is back!
494
00:21:11,436 --> 00:21:13,897
Yes! Oh, I know you had fun,
495
00:21:13,981 --> 00:21:15,691
and okay, maybe I did a little, too,
496
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:17,150
but I need my real brother!
497
00:21:17,234 --> 00:21:19,278
And I need my real partner in crime.
498
00:21:19,361 --> 00:21:21,905
We get a lot more variety
as a duo this way.
499
00:21:23,365 --> 00:21:27,953
Mom, Dad, I know I was really good today,
but it's just not sustainable.
500
00:21:28,036 --> 00:21:30,831
I'm gonna get into all kinds
of classic Darryl shenanigans.
501
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:34,668
And if you love me,
you'll just have to accept me as I am.
502
00:21:34,751 --> 00:21:38,171
Oh, Darryl, we love you as you are.
503
00:21:39,589 --> 00:21:41,717
Even with all the trips
to the Principal's Office,
504
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,094
the detention slips,
after-school detentions,
505
00:21:44,177 --> 00:21:47,431
before-school detentions,
in the middle of school detentions...
506
00:21:47,514 --> 00:21:49,933
But we'd love you
without those things, too.
507
00:21:50,017 --> 00:21:52,144
And look, you can forget WWMD.
508
00:21:52,227 --> 00:21:55,731
Maybe instead, try WWDDTWGHIT:
509
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:57,816
"What Would Darryl Do
That Won't Get Him in Trouble?"
510
00:21:57,899 --> 00:22:00,235
-That's a mouthful.
-Yeah, I need a drink of water.
