The Haunted Hathaways (2013) s01e01 Episode Script

Ta-da.
Welcome to our new home.
What do you think? I think you must hate us.
Come on, it's not so bad.
I know it could use a little dusting.
And some new light bulbs.
Ugh.
What about that horrible smell? Sorry, that was me.
Airplane lasagna does not agree with me.
Whoa.
Yeah, nothing says "home, sweet home" like a dead bird on the piano.
I know.
This is the best house ever! Perfect, right? And downstairs will be the bakery we've always wanted.
Mom? Now, Taylor, I know it's a little different from our apartment in New York.
Uh, mom? But I think if you give it a chance you'll get used to it.
- Mom! - What? Why is that chair rocking by itself? It's just the breeze.
I think.
- Taylor, it's just a cat! - Then why are you screaming? Because I love animals! Tay, listen This move to New Orleans is going to be great for us.
It's a fresh start after the divorce.
I didn't want a fresh start.
I was on the state champion gymnastics team.
I had millions of friends.
Now I'm going to be the new kid who nobody knows.
You want attention? Two words face tattoo.
People will talk.
Tay, you're going to make friends.
Everything is going to be fine.
I'm going to go wash up.
Frankie, what was that weird noise? I told you, that lasagna's putting up a fight.
Easy, girl.
Okay, that wasn't me.
Ah! Ghost boy! Mom! I am loving this house.
Hey, toss me your head.
We'll play catch.
What? Why aren't you running off screaming, like your sister? Because you are awesome.
- I'm Frankie, by the way.
- Louie.
Wait.
No introductions.
I'm a ghost, and I'm here to scare you out of this house.
Pretty scary, huh? Not exactly.
A Princess? Ah, come on, Louie.
You're better than that.
You are adorable.
No, I'm not.
I'm mean and scary.
I'll be back.
Wand, please.
Miles, what are you doing? A new family's moved in.
Hello.
I'd like to make a good first impression.
We're ghosts, son.
When they see you, they're gonna freak out.
Not if I'm wearing this soothing shade of lavender.
This color says, "welcome, friend".
Dad, we got a problem.
I just did my headless boy trick, and the new girl thought it was adorable.
"Adorable".
What ghost wants to hear that? Actually, I think that's very Besides you.
Calm down, Louie.
We'll find a way to scare these people away.
You guys and your scaring.
How about, for once, we stop acting like ghosts and start acting like hosts? Huh? Who's with me? Whoa Not cool, Louie.
Ooh, my lucky penny! Louie.
I'm only saying, it's been a while since I've had someone my own age to hang out with around here.
It could be nice.
Nice? Ghosts aren't nice! Dad, those women have got to go, and I'm just the ghost to do it.
You want to take the lead on this haunt? Yes, I do.
I'm gonna bring the scare, heh heh, Louie style.
A banana? Aw, man! What is so important it couldn't wait? - Where'd he go? - Who? The tiny ghost child who was holding his own head.
She's lost it, mom.
- Mom, I know what I saw.
- I get it.
You're getting back at me for making you leave all of your friends.
Uh-oh.
She's about to lose it.
Here we go.
Three, two I may not be the most perfect single parent, but I'm trying.
- Yes, trying.
- "A" for effort.
So I'm not good at sewing or housework and, you'll both probably inherit my size 13 feet.
- Cool.
- Please don't say that.
But I love you guys, and I want this move to be a A new chapter for us.
Mom, calm down.
You know what? It was dark.
I was probably just seeing things.
That's my girl.
Sorry for getting so emotional.
Mm.
Come on, let's get some sleep.
We have a bakery to open.
And remember, there is nothing to be afraid of in this house.
Sweet Christmas! Witch! That's you, mom.
I knew that.
Everything's going to be fine.
Tay, you missing your gymnastics team? Just a little.
And the crowd goes wild! Especially the mom who needs her tables washed.
Hi, sorry, we actually open tomorrow.
Oh, no.
I was walking by and saw that move you just did.
- That was an amazing back tuck.
- Thanks.
Although I did crush a muffin on my landing.
- I'm Taylor.
- Lilly.
- You guys just moved in? - That we did.
Welcome to Pie Squared.
Get it? All the pies are square, and it's also a math term so Fun on two levels.
Hey, I'm on my break, Mrs.
Hathaway.
Well, we could so use you on our gymnastics team.
Please tell me you're going to Kirschner Middle School? I am.
They have a team? - Yep.
Home of the fighting Inchworms.
- I would love to be an Inchworm.
Well, hey, I could swing by after practice and introduce you to all the girls.
You'll fit right in.
Are you serious? That'd be great.
Cool.
I'll see you around 6:00? Go, Inchworms! Mom, huge news.
That girl, Lilly, she's bringing over some girls from the gymnastics team to meet me later.
Great.
Oh, be sure to push the donuts.
They're square, too.
Don't judge me.
- Ah! - Please don't be scared.
Okay, this isn't happening.
You're a ghost in a lavender shirt.
It's soothing, right? Tay, relax.
I'm a good ghost.
The name's Miles, rhymes with "smiles".
I'm Taylor, rhymes with "Get me out of here".
Look, let me give you the 411 on Miles Preston.
I'm into journaling, backgammon, and dancing.
Hey! What? Hey! - We're gonna have a blast together.
- Uh huh.
Sure.
Mother! Mom, I knew I wasn't seeing things.
This house is haunted.
- Oh, my gosh.
- I know, right? That's Clay Bannister.
Afternoon.
I'm Clay Bannister, food critic for The Taste of New Orleans.
Yes, that Clay Bannister.
Mr.
Bannister, thanks for coming.
Oh, a good review from you would be huge.
Uh, let me grab you some pie to sample.
- Mom, did you hear a word I said? - That's nice, dear.
All right.
Time to get my scare on.
Hey, Louie.
Don't do that.
You really scared me.
Can that guy see you? No, only people who live in the house can.
Now, can you leave me alone? I was thinking I can give you a few tips on scaring people.
Between you and me, I sense you're struggling.
Oh, really? Well, watch this.
I don't get it.
It's supposed to Ah! Scary clown! Yay! He was there a minute ago, I promise.
Here we go, Mr.
Bannister.
One fresh apple walnut.
Fingers crossed.
Napkin, please.
I'm not an animal.
Sorry, Dad.
Pretty weak scare, huh? Hey, you'll get there, son.
Now, you want to see your old man in action? Oh, yeah.
Well, I must say Huh! Oh, my.
This is going to get very unpleasant.
Mom, the man's possessed.
Admit it.
We've got ghosts.
Taylor, just because we've seen some weird things doesn't mean Yeah.
We've got ghosts.
No one scares off an important food critic and messes with my business.
This could get ugly, girls.
Holy moley! Those are ghosts! Don't be scared, little ones.
Mommy's here.
Hey, there's the "L" dog.
Dap it.
No.
What is wrong with you? Okay, I'm sensing a lot of tension here.
Wait, you know what we need? Dancing lessons? Introductions.
Let's go around the room and each give our name and one interesting fact about ourselves.
I'm Miles.
I'm allergic to taffy.
Well, I'm Ray.
But it really doesn't matter because, you're not gonna be in our house much longer.
Yeah, you people need to pack up and go before I lose my temper.
When he gets worked up, he puts on an evening gown.
People, focus.
You think I wanted to move into this house of horrors? I left behind my entire life.
Yeah, it's true.
It's all in her diary Which I did not accidentally read.
Unbelievable.
I finally got a chance to make friends here, but I have to worry about a bunch of stupid ghosts ruining it? Wah, wah! Wah.
Zip it, Tiny Tim.
Big people are talking.
Oh, oh-oh.
Oh, no.
You did not just go there.
So let's do this.
I'm a rabbit, aren't I? Uh, he's still learning.
Listen closely.
You've got 20 minutes to pack your things and get out of here.
You got that, saxophone Stu? Good slam, right? Because his name's Ray.
Okay, whatever you say.
Hope you got your mittens.
Mittens? That's your comeback? It's 80 degrees outside.
Okay! The mittens make sense now! Score one for Ray! Thank you! Woo-hoo! I'm King of the world! This is a nightmare.
I have to cancel with Lilly.
You are not canceling anything.
I'm calling in a ghost exterminator.
Cat! Dokara! Cassimmi! Wopatina! Well, if the ghosts don't scare off my friends, this ghost buster will.
She knows what she's doing.
She came highly recommended from the man outside who talks to his hand.
Dokara! Cassimmi! Wopatina! Um, if this is the babysitter, I'd like to see references.
Nope, she's here to get rid of our ghost problem.
Not if I have anything to say about it.
Yo, lady.
We need to talk.
You're busy.
I get it.
Oh, man, the girls are gonna be here in ten minutes.
I just won't open the door.
No, I told you, you're not canceling, and you're not.
Go.
I've got this.
It's all good.
Oh, no! - This is bad.
Very bad.
- What is it? I'm feeling strange vibrations.
Wait.
Oh, it's just a text.
Ah! What are you doing here? Scared? You should be.
I'm here to take you down, Taylor.
In ping-pong.
Look, Miles, you seem like a very nice Whatever you are.
But I've got a chance to make actual friends here, so do your little ghost thing and disappear.
I get it.
You have plans.
Well, the least I can do is help after my family made such a mess.
Not bad, right? I cleaned the whole bakery and Ah! Waxed the kitchen floor.
Sorry.
Miles.
I have icing in my hair.
Oh, no.
They're here.
Don't worry.
I can fix this.
It will only take a second.
Ah! I look like the bride of Frankenstein.
- Do you want it bigger? - No, you've done enough damage.
Just stay away from me.
Got it? Well, what do we have here? Another fake ghost buster? Ha! We're so scared.
Wopatina.
Let's go back upstairs, son.
Score one for Michelle.
- One more time.
- Yeah.
Uh-oh.
There they are.
Hey, Taylor.
Are you Everything okay? Yeah.
Just a bad hair day.
You guys must be the rest of the gymnastics team.
Come on in.
You've got a little something on your nose there.
Do I? Huh.
Weird.
So this is Susan, Anne, and Kimber.
Susan is also from New York, and Kimber is super into baking, so everyone couldn't wait to meet you.
Really? That is so cool.
So, so cool.
I mean, who doesn't like baking? Oh, my gosh, I love baking! Baking is amazing! Who doesn't like baking? So cool.
So, Susan, where in New York are you from? Albany? Good town, good town.
Who wants lemonade? Sure.
So I was telling the girls about that killer gymnastics move I saw you do.
Oh, Lilly's just being nice.
Although my old coach did nickname me "stick," because I'm so sure-footed and always nailed my Landings.
Sorry.
I should have mentioned I waxed that spot, too.
Go away.
- Are you talking to us? - No.
I'm talking to myself.
I'm getting a little freaked out here.
Um, Taylor, I think we're just gonna leave.
Can't say I blame you.
Um, okay.
Well, see you in school.
Yep.
Can't wait.
- Um, the door's locked.
- I'll get it.
Did you see that layout? Did I tell you? Tay, you have to come with us to the gym tomorrow after school.
Promise? I promise.
Thanks, guys.
Fighting Inchworms! Yay! Congratulations, Taylor.
Sorry I almost messed it up for you.
Are you kidding? You saved it for me.
- Thanks, Miles.
- You got it.
I know what it's like to want to make a friend.
It's been a while.
You know what? Maybe you and I can be friends.
Really? I'd like that.
Hey, what's happening? Taylor? Miles? They're all here.
It's time.
Dad, what's going on? Mom, please.
You can't do this.
I'm sorry, honey.
It has to happen.
Isn't there anything we can do? Afraid not.
Only thing left to do is say bye to our home.
A lot of good memories here with you boys.
- Wait.
Call off the spell.
- What do you mean, "call off the spell"? - You wanted them gone more than any of us.
- I was wrong.
They aren't just a bunch of ghosts.
They're good people.
- Miles just really helped me out.
- But children shouldn't be around ghosts.
I mean, that's parenting 101.
I'm just trying to be a good mom.
Then trust me and save them.
- Please help us.
- Come on.
Ah, please.
We'll do anything.
- Taylor.
- Okay, you're right.
I can't do this.
Shut it down, stick lady.
Fine.
I get paid either way.
Ghostus resurectus.
It's not working.
Give me that.
Oh! Tay, you did it.
They're coming back.
You smashed my magic orb.
You owe me 6 bucks.
- Whew! - My arms.
Oh, yeah.
The flesh cannons have returned.
I have my legs! I have my legs! I can dance again.
Ooh.
Yay.
Yeah.
Taylor, thanks for having my back.
Of course.
We're friends, right? So I have no clue how this'll work Two families, one house but we're willing to try if you are.
- Yeah.
- We are.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
For now.
Did the little one just say "for now"? I think he just said "for now".
This is Nice.
Hey, I know.
Why don't we all go around the room and No.
I think that's a good idea.
I'm Taylor, and I think living with ghosts will be all right.
Blah, blah, blah.
Who wants turkey? Then again, maybe not.
Louie.
Not bad, son.
This is going to be awesome.
