[opening theme music playing]
[chuckles]
-Whoa! -[both scream]
Ah! [screams]
[Norma laughing]
-Ah! No! -Huh?
Ah!
Ouch!
[Norma laughs]
[sighs]
-Hey! -[all screaming]
[classical music playing]
[music crescendoes]
[music stops]
Yay! Hey-hey-hey!
Now, your turn, my young puppy one.
[exhales] Okay.
[grunting]
[rose] ♪ Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪
[screams]
Oh, no! Help me! Help me! I hate you!
Oh, no, you just sent that rose to the Realm of Eternal Screaming.
So, pretty close right?
[laughs] Classic demon prank.
But the Realm of Eternal Sneezing is way more annoying.
Uh, angelic magic is like a scalpel in the hand of a world-class surgeon.
Reality can melt to your will like butter,
while demon magic is like fixing a headache with a chainsaw.
[chuckles] Yeah, fun and easy, what's better than that?
Typical demon attitude.
[scoffs]
[sighs] I can see why you're so rusty, poochie.
Let's continue your lesson.
We will try something a little more your level:
Duplication!
[ominous music playing]
[Norma chittering over recording]
And that, my Demoneers, was my reenactment of a Bezelpod,
-a pesky devil… -[mouthing]
…like if a two-headed reptile demon and a vampire had a baby.
[Badyah] Ooh. How many heads does it have?
[Norma] It has two, like I said.
In fact, it would work better if you did it with me. Ready?
One, two, three.
[chittering]
[Badyah mimics roar]
[Badyah] Sorry, it's very loud.
[exhales] Badyah, I wish you were into it as much as I am.
[recording rewinding]
[car horn honks]
Gord, not now.
I'm trying to create the pinnacle of the girls and demons podcasting genre.
But something's missing.
[telephone ringing]
[gasps] Demons!
Gord, care to comment on
which demon plane has the best murder spots?
[toy squeaking]
[groans]
[Barney] I believe in you, you're the best actor I've ever seen.
[Logs] You've never seen me act.
[Barney] You were acting like you weren't checking me out all summer.
[Logs] Touché.
So, I've been practicing my mom's gi cun
and I made us some lunches.
That sounds so nice.
Um, but I did just get an alert from the Diner-saur
that they added a spaghetti and meteorite ball special, and--
[Logs laughs] We can go to the Diner-saur.
[chuckles] Aw, I love you.
[gasps] Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey! Who, who turned off the lights?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
What's your problem?
I told Logs I love him.
[gulps]
So? You said you loved me when I found you that pretzel.
This is different. [groans]
Maybe I'll run away again. Oh! Or fake my own death. Yes.
Why fake it? I'll get the axe.
Lesson one, take this spoon and summon an identical copy.
It's an angel parlor trick. Easy as can be.
[objects crashing]
Come back! I just need a sound bite.
[Norma grunting]
[groans and pants]
[speaks indistinctly]
[groans]
[bell chimes]
[straining]
[panting]
[straining continues]
Hey, get your hands off my special…
I don't think so, nerd.
[straining]
[sighs]
Well, I'm not immediately great at it, so I might as well give up.
Poochie, you are going to flap your paws
[ominously] until you get it right.
[whimpers]
You'll probably just talk all over your guest, as usual.
Wait. Do you listen to the podcast?
Is the some Norma cosplay?
[squeals] I'm not emotionally prepared for this!
-[dazed groan] -Think fast.
Want a selfie?
[groans]
[grunting]
Okay, this time why don't you act like you want to excel at magic?
[emphasizing] Please just work!
Maybe I could move to London.
[mimics British accent] Barnabas McGuttonburrows III, at your service.
Great, guess I get Logs all to myself then.
[normally] Who? What? Who?
Or maybe I'll just dump him. That'll really mess with his head.
See you later, loser.
Wait, wait, wait. Are you a demon? Wanna be on my podcast?
You mean my podcast?
Barney, look. have an evil twin. And she listens to the podcast.
And have I mentioned that we look exactly the same?
Except for style, obvi.
Turtlenecks in the summer?
What are you, a turtle?
Wow. My fan base is really toxic.
Wait. Argh, come on. You have one, too?
Catch you later, Nerd-ma, I got a date. Enjoy being single forever.
Okay, I feel like I should apologize on behalf of whatever that thing is.
Guys! You'll never guess.
[both] Evil twin?
Hey, friend-bags.
Anyone for a game of how long can we hug each other?
Ugh! She's horrifying.
How did they get here?
Ah, there must be something in my demon books
-about doppelgangers, mimics, mirror folk. -[Evil Norma yawns]
Well, you do that and I'll record the pod.
I'm gonna be real with you, it's gonna be mostly fart sounds.
I think we better stop them.
Agreed. [panting]
-[door closes] -[cooing]
Hey! Don't leave me with her.
[Barney panting]
-[Evil Barney laughs] -[gasps]
[exclaims]
Oh, hey, Barney, we're all out of the T-rex-attack-a-roni and cheese.
Wait, didn't I just seat you?
That was my, uh, twin.
May I? [clears throat]
Barney Guttman, head to the counter, you've won a free… meatball.
BRB, baby.
[grunts]
You're not my meatball.
This is my date with Logs.
This is my date with Logs and he's all over me.
-[laughs maniacally] -He's supposed to be all over me.
Aw, this is just like me and my twin.
Happy birthday, Barney.
[Evil Barney] Huh?
[T-Rex] Happy birthday, Barney! [laughs] Birthday hug.
Logs, hi! Sorry I'm late.
You were here first, and hey, um, also happy birthday.
Why didn't you tell me?
Um, it was a different Barney… Guttman.
Wasn't your hair green a minute ago?
Huh? Oh, I just dyed it back, I missed the blue.
[laughs nervously] Uh, wha… What were we talking about?
Uh, listing the best ways
-to drop fire ants down people's pants. -[T-rex] Birthday hug!
[Barney chuckles] Oh. Yeah. A classic.
What I wanted to talk about was those three little words you said.
How about we order some food first, huh?
Yes, of, of course. Sorry.
You wanted the spaghetti meteorite thing, didn't you?
I'll have whatever you're having, swee-- [exclaims]
The caveman club sandwich looks pretty good.
Everything okay down there?
Just finding a coin I dropped.
Don't ruin this for me.
[grunts]
He's my boyfriend too.
Hey, look what I won for you.
You got that for me?
Oh, yeah. Cause I love-- [screams]
That color on you. Is that a new shirt?
Ugh, yeah. Barborah had reduced the thread count
'cause she thought the old shirts were making us complacent.
These new ones are like wearing a cheese grater.
Ugh.
I really miss my old shirt. This one isn't any good.
Why don't you, uh, take it off then?
That's lazy gluttons offer code… [roars weakly]
And now, fellow Demoneers, back to Paranorma, with Badyah and Norma.
So, Evil Norma, where did you come from?
[scoffs] Where did you come from?
I take it they don't have podcasts there
because you seriously need to work on your hosting skills.
I have notes.
Sorry. She's overly critical.
First of all, that theme song put me in a coma.
[gasps] I composed that. You said you liked it.
Ugh. And what's with the Demoneers thing?
You can't label your fans when you don't have any.
Ugh! My mom listens.
Maybe we should get her to host instead. Maybe she'd join in with the demon roar.
Look, the reason I didn't--
[chuckles] Should we ask my evil twin some listener questions?
Here's a question.
Why don't we rename this Paranorma with Norma and Norma?
Let's get started ghoulfriends. Courtsy, you wanna take a seat?
I'm good right here.
Very well.
Welcome to the first demon support group.
We know being a demon on the neutral plane can be tough,
but this is a safe space to share our grievances.
Who'd like to share first?
Becoming a vampire totally ruined my makeup tutorials.
Having no reflection is not it.
I wish the park would let me take off nights with the full moon.
You know, after sucking the sleep out of the 50th child of the night,
you have to take a good look at yourself in the mirror
and think, "Am I the problem?"
Well, at least you can look in a mirror.
[Courtney] You guys all sound like you hate being demons.
[demon in raspy voice] I am proud of my demonic heritage.
I just wish the world were kinder to us.
Okay, but, legit, that one gives me the creeps.
This world isn't meant for us demons.
We can choose to be outcasts
or we can adapt, evolve, assimilate,
and maybe then find happiness.
I have assimilated.
I've been really good ever since I saved the world.
No worries. You're welcome.
So why aren't you happy yet?
Ugh, I don't know. I don't know what's wrong with me.
All I know is that I don't need your help.
You think you can solve everyone's problems, but you can't.
Ugh.
I am so glad you've decided to join us.
Huh?
[groans]
[Pugsley grunting]
[panting] I need a break.
[scoffs] I thought you were once a powerful vessel to a demon king.
What's become of you?
Again!
[Pugsley sighs]
Okay. [straining]
-Hello, friend. -Hello, friend!
Hey. Good day.
Top of the morning.
-Hey. -Hi, friend.
[Logs] And I was just like, "Wow, that's a thing you can do?"
And ever since then I've wanted to act.
I've always admired your drive, Barney. I just put all my dreams on hold.
[slurping]
[sighs]
Yo, are we gonna split or what?
Oh. I thought we, we were steady.
No, I mean get out. This place is a dump.
I heard Australia's pretty cool. We could try there.
Come on, Logs. Let's dine and dash.
That's it!
Okay, finally! Which one of you is my boyfriend?
-I am. No, it's me. -I am. No, it's me.
Logs, I can explain.
Oh, I'd personally love to hear you take a stab at this one, buddy.
You think I didn't notice what was going on?
Why is every date with you like this?
It's not as bad as it--
Hi, Barney. Hi, Barney. Hi, Barney.
-Hi, Barney's friend. -Hi, other Barney.
-Hi, Barney. -Hi, Barney.
One second.
[slurping]
[Norma and Evil Norma laughing]
Okay, well, you clearly don't want me here, so…
That's not it. That's the opposite of it.
Well, it doesn't feel like that.
Badyah, wait! [grunts]
[door slams]
[Evil Norma chuckles]
What's your problem?
Her.
Badyah isn't the problem. I-I'm crazy about her.
All her little details make me happy.
Everything she says echoes in my brain.
It's complicated, but it is not like it's a crush or anything.
Oh, whoa. It's a crush.
Bingo.
Wait, how do you know I like her?
[sighs] I'm you, dumb-brain.
I like her too, unfortunately.
Then why were you so mean to her?
To make you finally admit it. And now my work here is done.
Enigmatic fade away, fade away.
-[mimicking echo] Away… -[groans]
[Courtney] All I cared about was getting home,
but then I got there,
everything I wanted, and I still felt lost.
All the fire and brimstone in the multi-plane
can't absolve a demon of their guilt.
We all have to push that down.
I don't have any guilt.
I don't even remember what got me banished in the first place.
Oh, what could be so bad about me that they can't even let me know?
[sniffles]
[crying] What's happening to my eyes? Are you doing a spell?
Why are they leaking?
[sobs] Why am I still talking?
[sniffles]
Somebody else talk.
Banished by the angels, shunned by the demons,
you've even repressed your biggest mistake.
But if you just open up--
Nope, I'm closed. Shut down, out of service. Goodbye.
[door slams shut]
Can we take five?
Uh, we can take 500. [laughs]
You're still not going to get it right.
Hey, buddy, we, uh, got a situation.
Hey, uh, everything okay?
If you're here to give me head scratches, then go away.
I don't deserve them. I'm not good enough.
I'm gonna be useless forever.
Pugsley, you've never been useless.
But I can't even do a measly duplication spell.
[grunt] I bet all the other ex-demonic-king-possessed-talking-dogs-
trained-by-a-big-creepy-hand can do it.
You're worth so much more than what he can get you to do.
Don't listen to him.
Fingers? Why not?
Just a hunch.
[crunching]
Just, your powers, your talent, they're yours, not his.
You get to decide how to use them, or not use them, okay?
And head scratches are absolutely deserved.
I'll try.
Oh, and hey… Same hat.
Oh. [laughs] Where did this come from?
[grunting]
Badyah! I can explain.
Can you though?
-Oh, well, not that, actually, no. -[barking]
Uh, but I mean back there. I'm sorry I didn't stick up for you.
I just didn't even think you liked being part of the podcast.
-Of course I do. -[barking continues]
Sorry, can you take a Pugsley?
[Pugsley] Oh, look more friends! Yay!
But you're not into demons as much as me.
I don't do the pod because of demons, I do it to spend time with you.
Really?
Really. Really.
And I didn't roar as loud as you because you're always popping on the mic
and we need to sort that out.
Hey, stop, licking my hand. Let's talk about this later, okay?
[rumbling]
[Courtney screams]
Yeah. Good call.
[Pugsleys] Jump! Jump! Jump!
[cheering]
-Bang! -[laughing]
[both exclaim]
[barking]
[screams] This is too much! It's terrifying!
[Pugsley grunts]
[Pugsleys barking]
Barney! Did you wish really, really hard?
-[Pugsley] Barney! -Hey, you think I'm enjoying this?
-[Pugsley] We found Barney! Watch this! -Stop, stop, get off me.
All right, let's get this party started.
Wanna see who can get a high score?
With your bad posture and sloppy aim? You're on.
We mustn't harm the good boys.
Look at their squeaky little faces and their waggy little butts and their--
Whoa! Get these demonic brats off me!
-[barking continues] -Oh, shut up.
I'm not ashamed of being a demon,
and I'm gonna solve this the demon way.
-Sorry, Barney. -For what?
[screams] Ow!
-[Pugsleys gasp] -Something's wrong.
-Somebody hurt Barney. -Who?
-Did you hear who hurt Barney? -It was me. I bit your Barney.
-She hurt Barney! -How dare you?
-Wait, is Barney okay? -Get her!
-[Pugsleys] Get her! -Defeat the biter.
Must help Barney. Get back here!
-You monster, you monster. -Get back here!
[elevator dings]
[Pugsleys barking]
[rumbling]
Smell you later.
[elevator dings]
[whistles]
Why do you want to be a demon so much?
Ugh. Because I am a demon.
Are you sure about that?
Ugh. That's so unfair.
Just as it was about to get interesting.
Hey, I got you your meteorite meatball.
[inhales deeply]
I know how much you love cold Italian food, but--
Don't mind if I do.
Logs, I'm not gonna apologize.
Earlier I told you I loved you,
and I don't want you to say it back
until you can accept that this is the real me.
That's the real you?
[swallows and belches]
No, not him. This.
Sometimes I'm gonna be possessed by a demon,
or have an evil twin, or be a robot duplicate,
or I don't know.
But I'll stop pretending like you can have a normal life with me…
-I love you. -…'cause if you don't love me
at my evil-twin-blow-burping- after-eating-a-giant-meatball,
you don't deserve me at my-- Wait. What?
I love you, Barney. Dude, our first date was a demon invasion.
I've worked here longer than you, I've seen stuff.
And I have baggage too. You should see some of my old vlogs.
I may have seen some of them. Emo Logs was an icon.
I'm just saying, I know what I'm getting into.
You don't have to keep running away.
Nothing gets better by hiding how you're feeling.
But maybe next time…
Oh, don't worry. He's going.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but you did help me figure out some things.
And, you know what? I don't think you're evil twins.
Nah, you're just us. The worst parts of us.
-You're impulsive. -Judgmental.
-Self-loathing. -But still us.
-If you ever want to hang… -[Evil Barney] Ew, no.
I've reached my nerd capacity for a lifetime.
Yeah. Are you guys always like this?
Standing around, announcing what you learned today? Jeez.
[elevator dings]
Peace.
[all sigh in relief]
I did it. I got my magic back! Look!
Ooh, yeah.
Huh?
[yells and laughs]
[screams] Evil spoon! Evil spoon! Evil spoon!
Where are we going?
I don't know. I pressed all the buttons.
[Evil Norma] Nice.
-[thuds] -[all scream]
[elevator dings]
Huh.
Looks like we're going up.
[closing theme music playing]
