Pretty Freekin Scary (2023) s01e12 Episode Script

1
Best sleepover ever.
Every time I drink boba,
I swear, it's like
I'm swallowing a million tiny eyeballs.
How do you know
what eyeballs taste like?
I don't understand
how Brian and his friends
can sit there all day
playing those dumb role-playing games.
Yeah, and they're in the good booth.
"I'm a warlock. I'm a gnome."
Nobody cares.
Brian just sits there
with his sandy brown hair
getting caught in those
long, dumb eyelashes,
making it impossible
to see his kind eyes.
What? It's a sight hazard.
I don't understand
anything about that game.
But have you guys ever played Girl Boss?
We used to play all the time
when I slept over at Layla's.
No, what's Girl Boss?
It's a strategy game
where you become an influencer,
start a skin care line
and become an inspiration
to girls everywhere.
Also, it comes with a free lip gloss.
Well, now, I'm in.
So what do you play at sleepovers?
Oh, I've never been to a sleepover.
Wait. What? How is that possible?
They've just never really been my thing.
Well, we have to change that.
You are coming over
for your first-ever sleepover.
Tonight, and I'm not taking
no for an answer.
Okay, girl boss.
I'll catch up with you guys later.
Yeah. I'm gonna hang back, too.
Cool. Have fun.
What's the matter, Scary?
You seem to be staring off at that wall
that Brian's face is in front of.
Something's wrong with my stomach.
It feels like I'm being
tickled from the inside.
That sounds fun.
- Also, I feel like throwing up.
- That doesn't sound fun.
You must have
what Dio calls butterflies.
He says you get it
when you have a crush on someone.
Scary, can you please look at me
when I'm talking to you?
And stop looking at Brian.
Oh, it's Brian!
What? No. What No
A crush on that dummy
with the cute little laugh,
and boy band skin
and perfectly messed-up hair
that I just wanna mess up even more?
Oh, now the butterflies are worse.
Ooh, this looks nice.
Mom, Nyx has never been
to a sleepover before,
so I want everything to be perfect.
I get it. I had to pick you up early
from your first sleepover
Because I missed
my beloved mother so much.
Mm, because you had an accident.
You know, in your pants.
I know where it was. I was seven.
Whatever. Tonight is about Nyx.
I wanna make sure
nothing messes up our first sleepover.
- Ooh, snacks.
- Not for you.
Don't worry about us.
We're headed to the great outdoors.
Yeah. First time camping.
I've camped a lot.
Not really. I just wanted to be
part of the conversation.
Can I offer you mountain men
some of my lasagna
to fill those rugged bellies
before you leave?
Well, I am a pasta man.
Not a pasta-bility.
We packed enough dehydrated Schmeat
to keep us alive for days.
No more luxuries of home.
I hope it doesn't
make you guys homesick.
Can we leave the dad jokes at home, too?
Nope. They're coming with us.
We're also listening to my music.
Have fun!
I am so excited that you're here.
Me, too.
So, what do you usually do
at a sleepover?
Oh, whatever we want.
I just saw this new dance online.
Want to try it?
I'm more of "make snarky comments
while others dance" kind of girl.
But I'm down to clown.
Five, six, seven, eight.
Oh!
Oh, sorry.
No worries.
Let's try something else.
What do you want to do?
Uh Well, an anime show,
Bizarre Academia,
just dropped a new season today.
We could watch an episode.
I don't really know
anything about anime,
but I'm about to be animated.
Sorry, my dad's rubbing off on me.
You're gonna love this.
Look at her with that red spiky hair.
That's not hair. Those are knives.
How does she wear hats?
Great question.
Keep watching, then we'll find out.
Cool, cool, cool.
Why do they call it Bizarre Academia
and not Knife Hair Academia?
Is it bothering you
that I'm talking a lot?
No, not at all.
Why don't we just
watch this another time?
Totally.
How about we order some food?
Love It.
Favorite food on the count of three.
One, two, three.
- Burgers.
- Pizza.
Second favorite?
- Nachos.
- Seared branzino
with a summer vegetable medley.
Truth train. Are you having any fun?
What's truth train?
It's this thing I do
where if you say truth train
before a question,
you have to tell the truth,
no matter what.
Feels like a trap.
Why don't I go grab us some more snacks
and get this train back on track?
Sounds good.
And that's the truth.
I do not like this feeling.
I just wanna go back
to sitting alone in silence,
not thinking about whether I want
a summer or fall wedding
with a boy named Brian.
Definitely fall.
Now, stop badgering me already.
I'll help you with Brian.
What? Gross?
No, gross. No, gross.
Maybe.
You came to the right person.
I'll have you two chatting in no time.
Can't I just stare at him
from across the room?
Scary, if there's
one thing I know about crushes,
it's absolutely nothing.
But everybody likes boba.
Give this to him.
So you want me to buy his affection?
That's actually a great idea.
Hi. Here.
Bobo. Bobi.
I mean, boba Just drink it.
Nice.
Thank you, Scary.
Also, not that I've been paying
attention to you at all today,
but you should roll
the sense motive to the green elf
and free the cave master.
Oh, also, don't forget
to shimmy your elder elf.
Okay, bye.
So how'd it go?
I brought him the boba, set it down,
and then noises
came out of the thing under my nose.
And then what happened?
I wasn't going to
stick around to find out.
So, how's it going with Nyx?
Great
Yeah?
Looks like you're having the best time.
I don't know what's wrong.
We usually get along so well,
but tonight we can't seem
to agree on anything,
and it's awkward and forced.
And apparently,
I talk a lot during shows.
Watching television with you
is kind of rough.
Look, it just sounds like you two
haven't found your rhythm yet.
But you will.
Just relax and give it some time.
Everything will work itself out.
I hope so, 'cause right now
this sleepover is a total disaster.
Uh, I should probably head home.
Nyx, no.
Wait. I didn't mean it like that.
No, it's fine, and you're not wrong.
Tonight's definitely
not going that well,
but it's not your fault.
- It's mine.
- What?
- No, it's not.
- It's okay.
This just isn't my thing.
It's just been me
and my mom my whole life.
So sometimes I get a little overwhelmed.
I totally get it. I mean
I called my mom to pick me up
from my first sleepover because
I just did. End of story.
She peed her pants!
Mom!
Hey, I think we can still
turn this sleepover around.
Starting now.
Garbage TV?
Yes. You can even talk through it.
Well, that was a bust.
Who knew you had to
reserve a camping spot?
It's a patch of dirt.
This camping trip is officially over.
So, what are we watching?
I know where my eyes will be glued.
Maybe we should
just try this a different night?
I'm open any night but Wednesday.
Piccolo practice.
No, this is happening.
You girls are doing this tonight.
You're right.
We don't need the woods.
We've got the backyard.
Camping trip is still on. Who's with me?
Yeah.
And we're gonna
make this as authentic as possible.
No cell phones, no Wi-Fi,
no air conditioning, no heat,
and absolutely
no popping into the house.
We're men.
We know how to rough it.
To the backyard.
I just need to head to the bathroom.
- See you out there.
- Oh, no, son.
Here's a shovel.
This is your bathroom now.
I'm starting to rethink
this whole camping thing.
Me, too. Some of us need privacy.
- All right, Sleepover still on?
- Still on.
We just need to shake things up a bit.
We can stay up all night.
I love it.
It'll be a no-sleep sleepover.
We should trademark that.
No matter what happens,
no matter how tired we get,
we won't go to sleep no matter what.
We've got to be close to sunrise, right?
What time is it?
- 7:30.
- P.M.?
So we just need to keep ourselves busy
for another 11 hours.
No problem.
Pulling an all-nighter?
Well, I know a little something
that can help keep you girls awake.
Ever heard the story of Gory Laurie?
Gory who now?
Embellish, please.
Ah. So, the legend goes,
there was a girl named Laurie
who threw herself a birthday party
and invited everyone in town.
They all said they were coming.
But no one showed up.
And after that night, one by one,
all the kids began to disappear,
and the last thing they would hear
was the thunk, thunk,
thunk on their door
before she came calling for them.
They say,
if you turn down the lights
and look in the mirror
and say Gory Laurie three times,
she will appear.
And you'll know she's coming for you
by the thunk, thunk, thunk.
That can't be real.
That's what my friend Sarah thought.
Until she tried it.
And we never saw her again.
They said she moved to Texas,
but we all knew the truth.
Gory Laurie came knocking for her.
You girls have fun now.
Your mom officially tells
the worst bedtime stories.
Oh, no, he's leaving.
- He's leaving.
- Then go talk to him.
Oh, no. He's coming!
D Don't move!
Dude, thanks for the boba
and the killer gameplay suggestions.
I won because of you.
It's like the universe
was aligning our game chakras.
I mean, everybody knows
if you don't shimmy your elder elf
your chakras turn into latkes.
So, do you play Elf Dragon Hunt a lot?
- I mean
- Oh, Scary's never played before.
She's just been staring at you all day,
like, all day.
Ow!
Why are you kicking me?
Sorry, leg twitch.
So, what's your favorite boba flavor?
I'm a matcha guy myself.
Uh, you know, it's green,
like Mother Nature.
Scary always says
there's matcha more
where that came from.
Mr. Ripp would have loved that one.
I think Pretty was just leaving.
I was?
Oh, yes, I was.
I have somewhere very real
and definitely not made up to be.
Bye.
So what else do you have
going on this weekend?
Mm, just some goat yoga tomorrow.
Uh, and then I'll have another game
scheduled for Sunday, if you wanna join.
Do you have plans?
Scary never has plans.
She can stare at you all weekend.
Sit down.
So I can kick you.
This stinks.
Can we just go inside,
have some of Mom's lasagna
and play video games?
- Yes.
- No.
We said we're going camping,
so we're camping.
No offense, but offense, Mr. Ripp.
This camping trip is lame.
There aren't even real woods
or wild animals or anything.
Actually, I heard there was a bear loose
in the neighborhood.
- What?
- No way.
Oh, yeah, it was on the news.
They say the bear was
going through garbage bins
looking for food.
It even found a way
to open the neighbor's door
and get into their kitchen.
Rumor has it,
the last thing the neighbor heard
was a low growl.
Thank goodness
we're out here and not in the house.
Wait!
Where's the shovel, Carson?
I think I need to use it.
- What was that?
- What was what?
Maybe I should go check things out
just to be sure.
You boys stay here and hold down camp.
He's probably just messing with us.
This night is a bust.
Did you hear that?
No.
But I heard that.
- Hug for safety?
- Hug for safety.
There. Perfect.
Oh, wow!
Too much?
Never.
Ooh, this is fun.
You mean to tell me Nyx Peppers
is a sparkly hat type of girl?
What? It has a retro vibe.
Truth train,
I'm not always all about darkness.
I have layers.
Truth train, call me surprised.
Truth train, I wasn't having fun before,
- but now I am.
- Truth train, me, too.
Double truth train, I like Erlic.
Triple truth train, duh.
It's all over your face
and eyes and your face.
What was that?
Ooh, maybe it's Gory Laurie.
You think so?
Nah, because we haven't
summoned her yet.
Let's do it.
Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie!
- Did you see her?
- Nope.
I'm gonna go grab some water
from downstairs.
If Laurie shows, tell her I said,
"What's up, girl?"
Should I
No!
Should I No.
Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie, Gory Laurie!
Boo!
That was fun!
I bet you thought I was Gory Laurie.
You know about her?
I thought it was just an urban legend.
Well, dear, there's a shred of truth
to all urban legends.
Hmm, some people think
I am an urban legend.
Are you here to give me a task
or freak me out?
I was giving you the evening off
for your little sleepover.
But I heard you
talking about Gory Laurie,
and I thought I'd have
a spot of fun with you.
Wait. As long as you're here,
when Nyx comes back
can you pop up and scare
the Nyx out of her?
I am the Grim Reaper,
not some cheap party trick.
Boo!
We have fun here, don't we?
But remember,
I did the mirror thing first.
Not Laurie.
Toodles.
Bear on the loose?
- Gory Laurie?
- Yeah!
Not tonight, Laurie. Not tonight.
She's real! Gory Laurie is real.
- I heard her.
- I know.
Why did we have to tempt fate
and say her name three times?
Now she's in the kitchen.
Where the knives are.
We are about to die.
Oh, no, I've already
done that once this year,
and I am not about to do it again.
She's coming for us.
Not if we get her first.
I don't think she's here to play tennis.
Too bad. Gory Laurie is about
to meet my backhand.
That's the power of eye shadow.
Do you think the bear got in?
Do you think he already ate my dad?
I'm too young and handsome
to be bear food.
Oh, I told you she was real.
Please tell me that was your stomach.
- Oh, my God!
- Tell my mom I love her!
Yum, is this cheese?
- Mom?
- Dad?
You should have seen your faces.
Wait a minute. You guys were
pranking us this whole time?
Oh, we're good. We're good.
It was so easy.
Sorry, the door was stuck.
I can't believe
you scared us like that, Dad.
Respect.
You said you wanted
to see animals and excitement.
So that's what I gave you.
I'm just gonna say it, Mr. Ripp,
that's bad parenting.
Nice setup.
I've always wanted to go camping.
Mind if I join?
Welcome to the great outdoors.
You're gonna need this.
Are we digging for treasure?
More like burying it.
Hey, who wants to tell
campfire ghost stories?
I think we've had
enough scares with all the bear stuff.
Wait, I missed a bear?
Yeah, you missed a bear
who torments his kids for fun.
And his kid's friend,
who's probably not gonna
come around here as much anymore.
Why were you
at the boba shop for so long?
No reason. I drank boba,
I saw Brian, then I came home.
We're missing a lot of details.
I think I kind of,
sort of, maybe, like Brian.
You totally like him.
Tell us everything.
And leave out nothing.
He was playing Elf Dragon Hunt,
so I brought him a boba.
Aw!
Brought him a boba?
You're basically married!
Then he came over to my table
and asked me to game with him on Sunday.
So I guess I'll game with him on Sunday.
No bigs.
I have a crush on Erlic.
Well, duh.
You know,
maybe I'll talk to him more next week.
No bigs for me, either.
- Who have I become?
- Right there with you.
What are you screaming about?
Girls are weird.
Let's get revenge
on Gory Laurie and the bear?
Let's take 'em down.
This sleepover is wild.
Oh, that was so much fun.
We should prank them more often.
I know!
I can't believe they fell for it.
Parents, one. Kids, zero.
Hey, Gory Laurie and the bear!
It's payback time!
Oh!
Ow! No!
Best camping trip ever!
It's on!
Sun's about to rise.
We're gonna make it to the end
of our no-sleep sleepover.
Yes!
We did it.
Best sleepover ever.
