The Haunted Hathaways (2013) s01e05 Episode Script

Come on, dad, please.
Hook a ghost up.
- What's going on? - You know.
Typical kid stuff.
- Ugh, been there.
- Louie wants to possess the cat.
Have not been there.
He's still a beginner ghost, so he needs my help getting in.
Possessing is the best part of being a ghost.
Well, that and being invisible when I fart.
[Farts.]
Ugh! Ewe! I wonder who was responsible for that.
Son, get over here.
Let's give you a little possessing practice.
Oh, yeah, cat me.
Awesome.
Hey, dad, check me out.
Wave your paws in the air.
Possess a cat like you just don't care.
I remember a time in my life when this would have seemed weird.
Ball of yarn! - Hey, mom.
Hey, Ray.
- Frankie, your volleyball Coach called.
- Bye, mom.
Bye, Ray.
- Freeze.
Your Coach said this time you tried to get out of playing by saying you're allergic to gym whistles? Whistle-itis is real.
When is America gonna wake up and tackle this thing? Fine.
I don't wanna play because I'm not very coordinated.
Ah, come on, Frankie.
You're just being hard on yourself.
Think fast! [Chuckles.]
You just weren't ready.
Go.
I'm gonna stop throwing things now.
Told you.
I wish I was good at sports like Taylor, but I'm not.
Oh, baby, I'm sorry.
But playing a sport is a school requirement.
You have to do it, Sweetie.
Fine.
I'll be in my room Working on my will.
I hate going to these sporting events.
It's tough watching her out there.
Poor thing.
Maybe today will be her day.
Ooh, a pretzel.
You really just did that before I got a chance to rub my cat butt against the piano leg? Forget the cat.
I got something better you can possess.
- What's that? - Frankie! You ready to spike some volleyballs today? Seriously? My first human? Louie is moving up in the world! [Coughs.]
Fur ball.
[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.]
How about I go like this? Yah! Then this.
Aah! And then like this? Yah! Our presentation would totally get an A.
You do realize we're doing a history report on George Washington.
So you're saying I should do it wearing a white wig? Nice.
Let's take five.
Glass of milk? Ah, just like Washington used to drink.
Hmm.
Let's see.
Who do we have here? Karate club? Oh, nice.
I love karate.
[Grunting.]
I know you can't see these moves, but trust me, they're quite impressive.
Hmm.
That's weird.
What are you doing? [Screams.]
What you can see me? Why wouldn't I be able to see you? How many fingers? - Four.
- [Screams.]
Uh, what color's my shirt? - Purple.
- Mm.
Close enough.
Lavender.
[Screams.]
[Sighs.]
I don't get it.
Only people living in the house can see me.
Unless you've got the gift! I heard people like you existed.
I've just never met one.
[Sighs.]
I'm confused.
I was supposed to bring a gift? No.
Look, I gotta tell you something.
It may shock you, but my name's Miles and Believe it or not, I'm a You're a what? I'm a normal, average boy, just like you.
What's up, bro? Just have fun, Sweetie.
Don't be a hero.
No shame in ducking.
I always get so nervous for her.
She's so tiny out there.
Thanks for coming to support Frankie, by the way, can you guys tell I'm nervous? Dad, you sit next to her.
[Whistle blows, applause.]
Look at 'em over there in their little group.
The cool moms.
Yeah, they think they're so cool.
They shoot me these looks when Frankie avoids the ball, as if I even care what they think.
I'm Judgy Judgerson, and I Judge people.
- At least it doesn't bother you.
- I know, right? The middle one's totally wearing a wig.
- Go, Frankie! - I don't want to.
No.
Oh.
Hey, dad, can you take me over to Uh I mean, I need to see, um Just tell me what I need to say.
What's that, Louie? You wanna go watch from over there? Sure, I'll take you.
I knew we should have rehearsed that more.
Ready to give Frankie a little confidence boost, son? She needs us.
Just throw me in, and let me do my thing.
Don't hit it to me, don't hit it to me.
[Cheers and applause.]
What happened? People are clapping.
Why are people clapping? You may want to watch this.
Ray, what have you done? What makes you think I did anything? Okay, fine.
I really felt for the kid.
And I'm a parent too, remember? And you were talking about wanting her to have confidence, so I thought I could give her a teeny bit.
[Roars.]
[Whistle blows, cheers and applause.]
All: Frankzilla! Frankzilla! Frankzilla! You've taken it a little too far, don't you think? You need to end this right now, Ray.
Excuse me, but your daughter is amazing.
Why don't you join us? Okay, you can end it after the game, but then it is definitely over.
[Both laugh.]
Okay, I got another.
What do you call a pig who knows karate? A pork chop! [Both laugh.]
Okay, James whoa, mama! Tay, this guy is hysterical.
- Aw.
- What guy? Your Cousin Miles here.
You know we're both green belts? You can see he can see? Miles, can I talk to you for a second? - Tay, can it wait? - Cousin emergency.
What is going on? How can he see you? Apparently he's got the ability to see all ghosts.
He just doesn't know it.
Wait, so he doesn't know you're a ghost? Nope.
He sees me as a regular kid.
Okay, thank goodness.
Well, let's make sure we keep it that way.
So, I gotta take off now.
Yes, good idea.
We'll work on our project another day.
[Bell dings.]
Maybe next time at the library or your house.
I hear mall food courts are all the rage.
- Bye! - Okay.
Later.
Oh! And Miles, see you tomorrow, dude.
Pork chop.
That's funny.
Sounded like he said see you tomorrow, dude.
He did.
I got a friend coming over.
[Vocalizes.]
Miles! He can't come over.
No one is supposed to know about you.
Tay, would you relax? He's not gonna find out I'm a ghost.
How cool is this? Up top.
Whoa! Remind me, no high fiving tomorrow.
Look, Miles, about James What are you doing? I know you worried about him finding out I was a ghost, so Problem solved.
If anyone tries to high five, their hand won't go through this.
It'll be possessed.
Pretty smart.
And if he wants to high five your other hand? Bam! Hey, anyone see any ghosts around here? I sure haven't.
All I see is a guy who can high five with both hands.
Miles, put the puppet down and listen to me.
What if James finds out the house is haunted? It'll ruin everything.
Drama Queen.
I'm serious.
He can't find out you're a ghost.
I understand.
You're right.
I'll call James and cancel.
- Thanks, Miles.
It's for the best.
- Mm hmm.
You're not gonna call and cancel, are you? Shh.
Frankie, Frankie, Frankie, Frankie.
[Laughs.]
What a fun day, honey.
Aren't you glad you played today? It was awesome, thanks to these guys.
You're a lot more fun to possess than a cat.
Cats can't moonwalk.
Well, I'm gonna go make your favorite dessert, chocolate pound cake, because your team won.
Not that winning is important.
But you won! So, at tomorrow's game, I was thinking we'd try a behind the back spike.
Also, could you make me breathe fire? Whoa, today was a one time thing.
Besides, I have to go to a parent-teacher conference for the boys' ghost tutor tomorrow.
Can't make your game.
Then I can't make it either.
Darn.
No more volleyball for me.
Come here.
Take that off.
I'll admit, when I was bouncing apples off your head today I was worried about you.
But I was watching you today.
And it wasn't just Louie out there on that court.
You played a part in it too.
You'll be fine on your own.
You just need to believe in yourself, okay? I guess.
No offense, but he was just being nice.
It was all me out there today.
Taylor, you were supposed to leave five minutes ago for practice.
Let's go.
[Clock rings.]
[Clock rings.]
[Clocks ringing.]
What is with you? Why so jumpy? I'm not jumpy.
Okay then.
Bye.
- Hey, Taylor.
- Hey, James.
James, what are you doing here? I'm here to hang with Miles.
Up top, buddy.
No! - Are you okay? - Yeah.
Um Sorry to stop that high five, but Miles is getting over a cold and I am very passionate when it comes to germs.
I'm passionate about gum.
James, didn't Miles call you? Oh, only to remind me to bring Silent Ninja 4.
Oh, and to come in after Taylor left.
Oh Cousin emergency? [Music.]
I thought you were gonna cancel with James.
And I thought you were gonna make it to gymnastics on time.
I feel like we were all misled.
Miles, let me give you two reasons why having him over is a horrible idea.
One.
And two.
Look.
Is it a perfect situation? No.
But when you first moved here and were worried about making friends, I had your back.
It'd be nice if you did the same for me.
Miles, check it out.
I brought my karate gear over.
We can spar together, dude.
You and me? Spar? With foam fingers and sock puppets? No.
Hand-to-hand combat.
I know you're pretty good, so go easy on me.
Trust me, James, you won't feel a thing.
Excuse me.
Cool mom coming through.
Watch your back.
- Cool mom here.
- There she is.
Michele, you look beautiful.
- That dress.
- Oh, this old eyesore? I brought popcorn.
- Yay.
- All: Yay.
Frankie's come so far, so fast.
Does she get her amazing athletic talents from you? I guess I'd be bragging if I said yes.
[All chuckle.]
[Screams.]
Hello, Sir.
How are you? All: Frankzilla! Frankzilla! Your daughter looks a little nervous down there.
Is she gonna be okay? She's just trying to psych the other team out.
- Would you ladies excuse me a sec? - Yea.
How many grades did you fail? [Growls.]
What's with the dress? Are you going to a wedding or something? This old never mind.
- Where's Ray? - Parent teacher meetings.
That's today? I thought he'd be here doing his little ghosty thing for Frankie.
Look at that Amazon.
Not you, Ma'am.
You're very svelte.
Don't worry.
Frankie's gonna get a little help from guy some people have started calling Air Louie.
- What people? - Me.
Hey, this isn't Frankie.
It smells in here.
Where am I? [Screams.]
My baby's out there all alone.
She's gonna get crushed.
Stop the game! Mommy time out! - Mom, what are you doing? - Don't worry, my precious Angel.
Mama's here.
No one's gonna hurt you.
[Grumbles.]
Miles, you have to listen to me.
Ghosts can't spar.
This is going to end badly.
Woo.
All right.
It's time to party like it's 1999.
George Washington said that.
No, he didn't.
Taylor, all I have to do is avoid physical contact.
How hard can that be? Wa! Ah! Ah! Ha! Excuse me for a sec.
Did you just see that? My foam finger can't defend against that.
Sorry, Miles.
This is what I was worried about.
All I wanted was to hang out like a regular kid for just one day.
So what are you gonna do? What can I do? Can you just tell James that I went home? No.
What do you mean, no? I mean I got your back.
You wanna hang out with karate kid, that's what you're gonna do.
Follow my lead.
So James, are you interested in serious martial arts? Miles only practices the mystic, ancient art of Gakamato.
Gaka what? Exactly.
It's an ancient karate technique where you spar blindfolded.
Only in total darkness will your other senses come alive.
And only then will you be able to achieve the level of Dungeon master taco supreme.
I so want that! - You ready, Miles? - I guess so.
Missed me.
Nothing but air.
Dude, you're fast.
Wa! Where are you? Right in front of you.
Why aren't you hitting back? Is that all you got? - Yah! - Ow! [Deep voice.]
That hurt.
Uh, I know you kids wanna start your movie now.
Not yet.
This is too much fun.
- Ooh! - Missed me.
I mean, got me, got me.
You definitely just made contact with my solid form.
We should take a break.
Woo.
Awesome sparring session, man.
Best one I've had in a long time.
[Strained.]
Awesome.
I'm gonna go get some ice.
For Miles.
What's going on? I can't see.
I do not care for this.
Frankie, come out from there.
Not a chance.
You humiliated me.
I'm protecting you.
Those girls on the other team look like frost giants.
Every kid in school saw you run out on the court.
I'll never live that down.
[Whistle blows.]
Uh-oh.
Cheryl just got hurt.
Injury substitution.
Frankie, we need you.
Walk it off, Cheryl.
Frankie, let's go.
Next point wins.
All: Frankzilla.
Frankzilla.
Sorry.
No can do.
[Crowd boos.]
Hey! I made that popcorn! - Mom, I'm going out there.
- Honey, no.
You were right.
I shouldn't have made you play.
I'm scared too.
But Ray told me that part of me was spiking that ball the other day.
And all I needed was a little confidence.
Maybe he's right.
Maybe he is.
You really think you can do it? I don't know, but there's only one way to find out.
Go get 'em, tiger.
Don't worry, Michelle.
Air Louie is gonna save the day.
[Screams.]
I got it! I got it! [Crowd cheers.]
That's my daughter everyone! I'm coming Frankie! I've got your back.
Thanks for doing what you did today.
Just promise next time you want to make a friend, you'll find a kid who is in to journaling.
Don't worry, I told James I was just visiting, and going back home after today.
Trying to be a regular kid was way harder than I thought it would be.
One day I'll be ready for it.
Not now though.
Well, what about wanting to find a friend to hang with? I already got one.
You're about to high five me with that sock puppet aren't you? Bring it.
