The Haunted Hathaways (2013) s01e03 Episode Script

- On your left! - Got him! - On your right.
- [Battle cry.]
[Splattering on tv.]
Yeah! I hear zombies exploding, Taylor.
Does that mean I can check and see how clean your room is? You could, but I'd rather see you pamper yourself with a hot bath.
How about I pamper myself with a room check instead? Check away.
Miles, I totally forgot to clean my bedroom, she's gonna freak.
- Let me get this for you.
- Are you sure? I've been waiting for a chance to clean that pigsty for weeks.
I cleaned your desk, made your bed, and vacuumed your rug.
Quick question; Do you prefer your clothes organized by color or pattern? Taylor! Your room Is spotless.
Of course it is.
Well, I'm really sorry for doubting you.
I appreciate how good you've been about chores, especially since the move.
Hi, Miles.
You all right? Mm.
Mm.
Miles, what's that in your mouth? Mm-mm! Aah! [Continues screaming.]
[Shrieking.]
Oh, pssh, you mean that? Taylor, why are your clothes all in Miles' mouth? [Laughs.]
Is that not where they go? [Spooky rock music.]
If you move into a haunted house.
You gotta try to work things out.
So if you're living with a ghost or three.
You gotta be one big, semi scary family.
Don't know how we ended up this way.
But I guess you could call us The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
[Music.]
What more do those Judges want from us? We nailed our routines, and we have super cute matching ponytails.
I still say until we get new uniforms, we'll never be taken seriously.
I don't know.
I like my uniform.
I think the coffee brown color is an interesting choice.
They're supposed to be white.
Ewe! So what can we do? The school will never pay for new ones.
[Gasps.]
They spend plenty of money on the science fair.
First prize would totally cover the cost of new uniforms.
Except one of us would have to win.
Yeah, some serious brains enter that thing, and the kid who wears Spock ears has won it three years in a row.
Soon to be four, earthlings! [Laughing maniacally.]
Was that a leprechaun? Let's face it.
It'd take a miracle to win.
Did someone say "miracle"? I think I left my phone in my gym bag.
Miles! What are you doing in my gym bag? It's not weird.
It's just my head.
Listen, I love science.
Plus I'm great at it.
And I have ghosting powers.
First place is a sure thing.
Guys, I'm gonna win the science fair.
I didn't even think you liked science.
What? I love science! You got biology, physics That other one where you mix stuff together.
- Chemistry? - There you go! The point is, I'm sure I can come up with something so good, it will almost seem Supernatural.
You realize the fair is tomorrow? Yes, I do.
Uniforms.
Ladies, we're Inchworms.
Time we start looking like it.
Taylor, if you pull this off, we'll never forget it.
Totally.
Forget what? How about this for your project? [Whooshing.]
Whoa! Gravity friend or foe? My friends are going to love me.
If you do this, we are gonna crush the science fair.
More ghosting help? Okay, that's it.
Family meeting.
Wait, how do you summon ghosts again? Hey, ghosts! Thank you, Frankie.
- [Gasps.]
- [Chuckles.]
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Okay, maybe a little.
First things first.
I want you all to know that I've given this a lot of thought.
You're moving out! No.
You're thinking about it! No.
I've made a decision to put a stop to all the ghosting help in this house.
What? Why? See how she talks back? I would never do that.
Can I have some candy? - No.
- What? Why? Focus, people.
I don't like the way the ghost shortcuts are affecting things around here.
It's making certain people very lazy.
[Scoffs.]
Yeah, Frankie.
I think it's obvious which person and ghost Michelle's talking about.
But, dad, I like helping.
I'm officially disgusted.
Michelle's right.
Shortcuts are not the answer.
Thank you, and since Ray and I agree, it's settled.
No more ghost help.
You guys can't do this! I just promised my friends that I'd get us new uniforms.
They're counting on me to win.
Then you better hit the books.
Boys, do I have your word? I have no interest in helping any of you.
Thank you, Louie.
Miles? [Sighs.]
Okay, I give you my word.
No more help.
See? Better already.
Ready yet, pops? Do I look like I'm ready, son? [Panting.]
How about now? Nope.
- Ready yet? - [Chuckles.]
Okay, okay.
Let's do this.
- Do what? - Nothing.
Buh bye.
Louie.
Every Sunday, we get together to do a little father and son bonding.
We sneak around, find just the right person And then scare the poo out of 'em.
That sounds fun.
I'm in.
Uh-uh, ghosts only.
No Frankies.
Mm, why not? I can scare people.
Poor, silly girl.
I laugh at you.
Ha, ha Ha.
Louie, be polite.
No, it's fine.
If that's how you feel, I'll leave.
[Screaming.]
[Both scream.]
Arm on the floor! Arm on the floor! Gotcha.
Ah, come [laughs.]
I gotta admit, that was not bad.
I'm thinking it might be fun to bring Frankie along.
- Are you serious? - For real? Sure.
This girl might have potential.
[Chuckles.]
Sweet! I better open the door.
Stupid arm.
Out of my way.
[Screams.]
Bad fake arm! Bad! [Screaming.]
No big deal.
I just have to use potatoes to make a self-revolving solar system.
I can totally do this.
And I can totally watch you without feeling tempted to give any help.
At all.
Well, this goes here Nuh n-nuh-uh.
Um this goes here.
N-n-n-n [Squeaking.]
Miles! This isn't helping.
Good, because I made a solemn oath not to.
Next to my bow tie collection, nothing is more important to me than my word.
Let's try this.
[Electricity crackling.]
Ow! W hey, progress.
At least the potato didn't explode like last [Explosion.]
Time.
You're gonna clean this up, right? I'm pretty sure it's a bad fuse or the wiring.
Although it could be a bad outlet.
Maybe a short circuit or a long circuit.
It's hard to know.
Until you stop yapping, we won't.
You're fun.
All right, Scaries, I think we found our target.
This guy's a piece of work.
You sure you don't want to back out? No way.
Bring it.
All right, Louie, what's your scare? Easy.
Bats.
- Hmm.
- A whole swarm of them.
And thirsty for blood.
[Laughing.]
Yeah! Go get 'em, son.
[Magical whooshes.]
Butterflies.
What? Just like the ones I used to catch as a boy during my summers in Maine.
I should call mother.
- No! - Ah, don't worry about it, son.
I don't think this guy's an easy scare.
- Boo! - [Screams.]
[Screaming wildly.]
How's it coming, Sweetie? I think I'm done.
Wow! It's a, um Potato ball factory.
Potato powered solar system.
And watch what happens when I push this button.
Careful, Tay, those are live wires, and [Screams.]
I never doubted you, Sweetie.
Wow.
[Laughs.]
Taylor, amazing.
I think I actually have a shot to win this thing.
Oh.
[Laughs.]
Thanks, mom.
You were right.
Doing it all on my own feels a lot better than using ghost shortcuts.
Did I tell you? Mom knows her stuff.
Oh, is it just me, or is Saturn's ring tilted just a fraction to the Mom, it's perfect.
Trust me.
Besides, I've been working on this all day.
I'm exhausted.
You're right.
It's perfect.
Hmm.
Just a little to the left.
[Snap.]
Okay.
Michelle, don't panic.
It could be worse.
[Screaming.]
Worse! [Music.]
I can't believe I destroyed Taylor's project.
Oh! Come on, come on.
I'm telling you, Lilly, it's awesome.
I told you I'd win and get us those uniforms.
Tell the girls it's in the bag.
Yeah, I'll text you a picture right now.
- Mom, why is it covered up? - Uh, to protect it.
From the elements.
I'm just taking a picture for Lilly.
No! Uh, what if Lilly sees a photo and steals your idea? Lilly isn't even in the science fair.
Are you sure? How well do you know this Lilly? If that's even her real name.
Mom, is everything okay? I don't think I like your tone.
Off to bed! But it's only 7:30.
You said you were tired.
Don't contradict me.
And somehow, the ghosts are the normal ones in the house.
Okay.
- What did you do? - [Screams.]
I was just trying to fix Taylor's project.
I think you're confused about what the word "fix" means.
Miles, you can help me.
What do I do first? Mmm, move to a new city and change your name to Janet? Oh, come on.
I need your help, please? Michelle, you have no idea how much I want to help Taylor but, you said no more ghost help, and I gave my word.
Oh, to me.
And now I'm saying it's okay.
Sorry, but we made an oral contract.
- Are you joking? - Pfft! Oh, I never kid about legally binding agreements.
Fine, I'll I'll fix it myself.
[Electricity crackling.]
[Explosion.]
[Laughing.]
Okay, okay, here's another one.
- What's flat and brown - [Mocking silently.]
And sits outside your front door, crying? - Scaredy-mat.
- Oh! You do know them all.
[Laughs.]
I'm outta here.
How fun is this? I'm giddy.
What's that supposed to mean? Good question.
Why don't you ask my dad? You're acting weird.
Oh, really? Did my dad tell you to say that? That doesn't even make any sense! Dad stealer.
You need a little help? I'd like some alone time, please.
Yoo-hoo! My dad and Miles aren't here.
Actually, Louie, I came up here to see you.
I made lemon squares.
I don't eat lemon squares.
I'm an all-powerful ghost.
Reading Tween Dream? It relaxes me.
I had a hard day Not that anyone around here cares.
Aw, Sweetie.
What's the matter? I don't want to talk about it.
Can you please state your purpose? Fine.
I've been up for hours rebuilding Taylor's science project.
I put everything back in the right spot, but the planets still won't rotate.
So What are you saying? I need your ghosting abilities.
You need my ghosting abilities? Yes.
Finally! Someone who actually appreciates my talents.
- So you'll do it? - Yeah, I'll do it.
[Laughs nervously.]
Wait.
You said we couldn't help.
Is this a trick? Oh, no.
I'm a mother.
We say a lot of goofy things.
Get used to it.
I'm next.
Is everybody here? Ray's got a gig with his ghost band, but he says good luck.
We're all rooting for you.
We are going to do great! We? Did I say we? What I meant was "Whee!" You're gonna do great.
Whee! Wow, Taylor, this is incredible.
I love how you made the planets round.
I think that's important.
Wow, you can see the chicken wire coming out of this nose.
Amateur hour.
Hey, Louie, you still mad at me? [Blows raspberry.]
- I don't get it.
- [Scoffs.]
I do.
- Little guy's jealous.
- Of me? It's because he tried to impress my dad with his ghosting abilities, and then you came in and outdid him.
I didn't mean to.
Oh, now I feel awful.
I'm gonna go find a way to make it up to him.
Right after I finish finding out where boogers come from.
Up next, we have Taylor Hathaway.
[Applause.]
Thank you, Judges.
My project is a scale model of our solar system, featuring the sun, moon, and all our planets.
But that's only half of it, because it rotates in each planet's orbit.
It does so harnessing the power of ordinary potatoes.
[Crowd oohs.]
You ready, big guy? Let operation "Louie is awesome, and Frankie is just a doo-doo head" begin.
Came up with the name myself.
Louie, what are you doing? You shouldn't be helping Taylor's project.
Stay out of this, Boy Scout.
[Magical tinkling.]
But Louie's a beginner ghost.
His powers are a little iffy.
Would you relax? Look at those suckers spin.
[Whirring.]
Uh, that's a little fast.
So this concludes our demonstration.
Okay, Louie, ease up, big guy.
Okay, okay.
[Whirring continues.]
Uh-oh.
Is there a problem? Um, I think it's overheating.
- Is it safe? - Uh, completely.
[Crash.]
I think it's gonna blow! [Crowd shouting.]
Oh! Oh! Global Warming.
I think I made my point.
Chin up, Taylor.
You'll feel better when we get those brand-new uniforms.
I thought I put this together perfectly.
You did.
Really? Look at this place.
I let the team down.
So Funny story.
Last night, I broke your solar system.
And then I sort of got ghost help to fix it.
You're welcome? Are you kidding me? Mom, how could you break your own rule? I am so sorry, honey.
I wanted you to win so badly.
I made a mistake.
And then that mistake turned into a real doozy.
It's my fault you're not gonna get that trophy.
Who cares about the trophy? I wanted new uniforms.
- I wanted to come through for the girls.
- I feel terrible, baby.
I'd do anything to make it up to you.
Oh, on your left! Got him! On your right.
- Hiyah! - Nice.
[Splattering on tv.]
Mom, you're awesome.
The girls can't wait to get their new uniforms.
Well, they might get done faster if you'd jump on over here and help me.
Think I'm gonna let you fly solo on that one, mom.
But just think of how good you're going to feel after doing it on your own.
Sorry, ghost gig went late.
Double encore.
Ben Franklin threw his powdered wig onstage.
So how'd the science fair go? Well, you're not gonna like to hear this, Ray, but there were ghost shortcuts used.
Really? I thought Michelle and I were perfectly clear on what we expected.
I'm not sure we were perfectly clear.
Fine, it was me.
I asked for Louie's help when I ruined Taylor's project.
I see.
I need details.
I don't think pops needs to hear about all that.
He looks tired.
No, he should know.
Louie put on the most epic scare ever at the science fair.
Is that true, son? I guess I did send the whole place running.
It was wild.
There was screaming, explosions everywhere.
I hear they even had to call in janitors from other states to help with the cleanup.
Louie, you shouldn't have done that.
Janitors from other states? Ha! That's my boy! Hey, you know, I hear the mean delivery guy is stopping by the bakery tomorrow.
You two up for some more scaring? Not me, I can't measure up, especially after what I saw out of Louie tonight.
Hmm.
Okay.
Maybe next time.
Guess tomorrow will be just us guys.
[Chuckles.]
- Thanks.
- Huh? I didn't say anything! [Music.]
Mom, why are you still up? Because I'm almost Done.
Hmm! So pretty cool, right? They're awesome.
But who are the fighting inchwarts? What? You didn't do that on all of them, did you? Oh.
Please leave, sweetheart.
