The Haunted Hathaways (2013) s01e19 Episode Script
Haunted Crushing
So in exchange for your candy donations, the great Frankini will predict The future! I see a glass of water spilling.
[Laughter.]
Thank you.
[Chuckles.]
Would've been nice if it were someone else's glass.
That was amazing.
What's amazing is no one's tipped me yet.
Clearly labeled jar here, people.
Perhaps that will change when you see me bend an ordinary spoon using only my mind.
All: Ooh.
Any time now.
[Louie groans.]
Bending the spoon.
[Groans.]
Oh, what's this thing made of? This is just sad.
Look at my boy out there.
[Chuckles.]
What a charmer.
Like father, like son.
[Laughs.]
Is Miles flirting with that lamppost? No, he's talking to a ghost girl.
Oh.
Well, how come I can see Miles and not her? Because Miles lives here.
You can only see outside ghosts when they come inside.
Hmm.
- This house is very special.
- Hmm.
[Groans.]
[Spoon clatters.]
Oops.
Yes.
[Clears throat.]
It's very special.
So Miles has a ghost girl crush.
Oh, how cute.
Hmm, look at him.
He'd have a better shot with the lamppost.
He's doing fine.
Uh-oh.
I think he's doing his bow tie jokes.
The great frankini predicts It's about to get worse.
There it is.
At least he's still chatting her up.
No, she's gone.
Now he's just talking to the lamppost.
[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 [strains.]
You will bend.
You will.
Where have you been? Grocery store.
Saturday is crazy cakes day.
- What's that? - Once a year Taylor and I make the most disgusting cakes possible, then dare each other to eat them.
Doesn't that make you barf? Sometimes.
It's the one activity Taylor and I still have in common.
I just got this framed from last year.
[Girls shrieking.]
Taylor's home! What? Here you go, big guy.
I hate you.
What's with the screaming? Your sister just got the skyler makepeace to perform at our fundraiser.
All: Aah! We'll see him sing in person! All: Aah! Guys, there's still tons to plan.
Aah! What? I like to plan.
I can't wait for Saturday.
Saturday? But that's crazy cakes day.
Frankie, this fundraiser is huge.
And I mean, come on.
Haven't we kind of outgrown crazy cakes day? Oh Right.
It's really dumb.
I only brought it up 'cause I thought you were still into it.
What's in the bag? Um, this bag? Yeah, um Look, somebody famous! Susan, you're famous? Can I have your autograph? [Plays piano.]
[Sighs.]
Hey, son.
How you doing? I've been better.
I have a personal problem I'm dealing with.
I wonder what that could be.
Is it perhaps Miles likes a girl ghost Miles likes a girl ghost you're not ready to talk about it.
That's cool.
[Spits, coughs.]
It's this girl Wendy.
I thought things were going great.
I was wooing her with my "a" game.
Son, we saw you.
You had a sock puppet.
Like I said, my "a" game.
I love you, son.
But no.
No, no, no.
Luckily, you live with somebody who can tell you everything you need to know about women.
Ha! You're right.
It's so obvious.
Michelle! Thanks, dad.
Hey, Michelle! Michelle! That was cold.
So you want my advice on dating? You seem surprised.
I'm just not used to children wanting my input.
Observe.
Hey, tay.
Want to talk about boys with your ol' mom? I'd rather shave my head and go to math camp.
Why wouldn't she seek your feedback? You're such a hip, happening woman.
You're wise, Miles.
Very wise.
And I'm gonna help you win over your ghost crush.
Welcome to Michelle hathaway's academy of dating.
This is so exciting.
By the way, when was the last time you were on a date? There are no questions at Michelle hathaway's academy of dating.
We have one sister tradition, then Taylor cancels it? I spent a fortune on disgusting foods.
Is it the money, Frankie? Or maybe you worry Taylor's actions symbolize the fact you two are emotionally drifting apart? Frankie.
That pop star, skyler makepeace, is coming over to talk to Taylor about her fundraiser.
Well, isn't that special? Taylor got held up at practice, so keep him company till she gets here.
Why do I have to do it? [Sighs.]
Miles is about to ask his ghost friend out on a date.
He's so nervous, he's threatening to break out the sock puppets again.
As his advisor, I can't let that happen.
I can't.
I won't.
Wait a second.
If Taylor didn't have anything to do this Saturday, it would free her up for crazy cakes day.
What do you mean? I mean skyler makepeace might not want to do the fundraiser after a visit from the great frankini And her trusty assistant.
"Assistant"? I thought we were partners.
Louie, if we were partners, wouldn't we both have capes? [Elevator bell dings.]
Hello? Anybody here? Enter! Hi.
I'm here to see Taylor.
I'm skyler makepeace.
I already knew that.
But then again, I know many things.
I am the great frankini.
Of course you are in your pretty little outfit.
Hey, cheekbones, don't humor me.
I'm the real deal.
I'm sure you are.
I'm just gonna wait over here.
Fine.
Guess you're not interested in your future.
Your bleak, troubled future where you'll soon meet a brown-haired girl with a ponytail who is cursed and will bring you nothing but bad luck.
Stay away from her.
You've been warned.
[Gasps.]
Oh, my gosh.
Skyler makepeace.
[Girls shrieking.]
Aah! Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you.
So I'm Taylor, and this is Sophie, Susan, and Emma.
Here, let me grab you a chair.
- Do your thing, big guy.
- [Chuckles.]
[Spell whooshing.]
[Grunts.]
I'm so sorry.
You okay? I think so.
That was weird.
Here.
- Ugh! - Oh, my gosh! Taylor, what are you doing? I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy.
You Have a brown ponytail.
Aw.
Thank you.
Here, have some water.
[Spell whooshing.]
Taylor! Oh, you're in the zone today.
Oh, my gosh.
Um, let me get you a towel.
No.
Just stay away from me, ponytail.
You're cursed! Forget the fundraiser! I'm out of here.
Looks like I just earned myself a cape.
Close enough.
Come on.
Just like I taught you.
You don't need sock puppets to charm a girl.
Hey.
How's Miles doing? Shh.
He's drinking in my wisdom.
Okay.
Not to brag [Singsong.]
But I am awesome.
You do know what "brag" means, right? So how'd it go with Wendy? Well, the truth is I got a date! That's my boy.
Son, I'm proud of you.
It's your first date.
Now listen to your old man when I tell you Michelle, we need to talk bow ties.
Already put together a list.
Grab your binder, meet me in the kitchen.
This is not a drill, people! That's cool.
Plenty of other kids in this house that can benefit from my knowledge.
Hey, Taylor, what's cooking? Yo, kids.
How goes it? All right.
I'll just be in the attic, not taking any of this personally.
[Fingers snap.]
Guys, I didn't mean it.
All that stuff was an accident.
You just lost us skyler makepeace.
Aahow! We're not doing that anymore? We have a fundraiser starting in three hours and no headliner.
I can fix this.
You know what? You've done enough.
Taylor, you okay? I was until I ruined everything and let my friends down.
Well, at least you get your cake day.
No.
I have to get skyler back.
What? I wanted crazy cakes day, but not like this.
I'm saving Taylor's fundraiser.
I'll never understand women.
[Poof.]
What's that? You want to learn about women, son? Yes, I do.
Yes.
Michelle! I can't believe the guy at the front desk gave you skyler's suite number.
I can't believe he bought I was a federal agent.
The fake badge and handcuffs helped.
Right Fake.
Okay, let's go convince skyler he needs to do Taylor's fundraiser.
Great frankini? Please, just call me "great.
" May I? [Laughs.]
Whoa! This suite is sah-weet! Sorry, I doubted you about ponytail girl.
You were so right.
Yeah, about that stop jumping, idiot Would be a great song title.
Think about it.
Anyway, I came here today to tell you that I'm not a psychic.
But everything you said came true.
It was a joke.
I wanted to stop you from doing Taylor's fundraiser.
Well, it worked.
I'm not going.
Okay, v-neck, listen up.
You're performing.
I messed up things for my sister, and I need to make this right.
Sorry, but I got to the top of the charts by trusting my gut, and it's telling me to stay away.
But my sister needs you there.
Listen.
Not going.
You can let yourself out.
Whoa! Whoa! [Louie's voice.]
Uh-oh, Frankie.
I think I made a whoopsie.
Louie, are you in there? Yeah, sorry.
I'll get out.
No, wait.
Can ghosts sound like the people they're possessing? [Normal voice.]
Oh, Frankie.
You silly, simple girl.
Ghosts can't whoa! I guess I can.
Louie, you just found a way to save Taylor's fundraiser.
You're a genius.
[Louie's voice.]
Yeah, I am.
Ugh.
But I lost my good looks.
Your date will be here soon.
Ready? Bow tie, check.
Backup bow tie, check.
- Conversation starters? - Check.
Crazy lady that won't give the kid space? Check.
- Oh, boy, here she comes.
- [Gasps.]
She is [Singsong.]
Adorable! Okay, my child.
We're ready.
Ray, you're okay with me giving all this awesome advice to Miles, right? Actually, as his father, I was really hoping he might good.
Because I feel with my dating help, the sky's the limit for Miles.
Well, it's over.
What? What do you mean "over"? Turns out she's into haunting.
And that's a lifestyle I could never accept.
But I have so much more wisdom to share.
Shh, shh, shh.
No, Michelle.
My heart needs a break.
[Sighs.]
Well, I guess that's that.
- Hmm, we'll see about that.
- What's that? I said we'll see about that! [Indistinct chatter.]
We've got a packed house out there.
Did you get through to skyler? [Sighs.]
He won't pick up.
But don't worry.
I've got a backup plan.
Have you guys seen me soft shoe? Yay! We're saved.
Hey.
Has your fundraiser started? No, but my social life has ended.
Well, this might cheer you up.
No way! [Normal voice.]
Hi, Taylor! It's me.
Famous pop-star person, schooner mackelroy.
- [Nervous chuckle.]
- I thought you weren't coming.
Well, this is awesome! Frankie, you're the best.
I have to go tell the girls.
Oh, can't you even get his name right? [Louie's voice.]
What? I've never heard of this dude.
I'm not a pop guy.
Taylor needs us.
For the next hour, this whole place has to believe you're the skyler makepeace.
No problem.
Check this out.
[Normal voice.]
Hey, everyone.
I'm skipper mullroney.
Michelle, this is taking forever.
Sorry.
But when you see this portrait on the wall, you are going to thank me.
And done! Why, Wendy.
This is a pleasant surprise.
Oh, no.
I was told to come here because I won something? Hmm.
You did win something, Wendy.
A chance for happiness.
Look at this.
I knew it.
You're no painter.
While we're all here, let's focus on your relationship.
Our what? Michelle, we went on half a date.
Which could stretch into a lifetime of memories if you watch this little presentation I put together.
[Stammers.]
What did you do? Shh.
Let's watch.
[Presentation playing.]
Hi.
[Mouths silently.]
I'm Michelle hathaway.
Welcome to second chances.
My 20-step guide to improving your relationship.
Step one: Communication.
[Mouths silently.]
Eye contact is the key to happiness.
The eyes are a window to the soul.
[Panting.]
Dad Michelle has clearly lost her mind.
Yeah, I'm sensing that.
Don't worry, son.
I'll fix this.
Just follow my lead.
Miles, what are you doing? You're missing the part where I talk about trust while paddling a canoe.
I don't care.
I don't want to date Wendy.
She's a haunter.
Whoa, Miles.
This smart, lovely woman went to all this trouble because she cares so much about you.
Thank you, ray.
It's almost like she sees you as a son.
I do.
And she'd never get so carried away that she'd steer you in the wrong direction just to feel needed.
Yeah So if she thinks Wendy's good enough to date her son, then you'd do well to consider it.
I guess you're right.
Wait! That girl in there is a haunter.
There is no way I can allow my sweet Miles to date the likes of her.
Really? Okay.
If you say so.
Mmhmm.
How am I gonna break the news to Wendy? Oh.
She's gone.
Ooh, chapter eight.
I'm releasing a dove.
Dad, the way you just turned Michelle around was brilliant.
If I ever need advice on women, I'm coming to you.
Thanks, Miles.
The ray Preston school of dating.
[Laughs.]
I like it.
Oh, by the way, when was the last time you were on a date? Get your butt upstairs and finish your homework.
I can't believe you got skyler back.
Yeah, you really stepped up, tay.
You're a hero.
Like Abraham Lincoln.
Only real.
He's here! [All shriek.]
I love you! - Can I take a picture with you? - Can I have a hug? Ew, gross! No hugging.
Ugh.
Ever heard of kooties? Now here to perform his hit song, I'm dancing on a rainbow, skyler makepeace! [Cheers and applause.]
Quiet down, silly females.
Rainbows are purple rainbows are green rainbows are yellow and that's the color of pee [Giggles.]
Pee.
What is happening? What is he doing? You know what? Forget that song.
Check this out.
Girls are yucky, girls are gross I like to rap, but I don't like toast Singing stupid love songs make me frown I do my rhyming upside down [Crowd gasps.]
No! Look out! [Thud.]
Second verse, same as the first.
[Laughs.]
Okay.
Obviously, Louie is out there possessing skyler.
It was the only way to get skyler back for the fundraiser.
Why are you trying to help so much? That's not very You.
Because I'm the reason skyler left in the first place.
The chair, the water bottle all me and Louie.
Are you kidding? You knew this fundraiser was important to me.
You're supposed to be my sister! What's this? Pickles, chocolate syrup was this for crazy cakes day? Uhno.
That tradition is lame.
Look, I'm sorry I messed up your fundraiser.
Yeah, but at least now I know why.
It took two days to get the smell of cheese out of my hair.
And then the hot sauce got in your eye and we had to go to the E.
R.
[Laughs.]
That that part wasn't funny.
Actually, it kind of was.
The nurse with bug eyes? [Laughs.]
"The doctor will see you now.
" I should never have blown off crazy cakes day.
I mean, a day of stuffing weird food into your sister's mouth? How could anyone outgrow that? My schedule is pretty open tomorrow.
I'd like that.
[Chuckles.]
Oh! So nice to see everything in here is going well.
I just spent two hours trapped in a tween dream cover boy, but I'm fine, thanks for asking.
On your mark, get set, eat! [Blows whistle.]
Whoo! Ugh.
Toothpaste? Anchovies? - I'm gonna hurl! - Gross! Both: Best day ever! [Spooky music.]
[Laughter.]
Thank you.
[Chuckles.]
Would've been nice if it were someone else's glass.
That was amazing.
What's amazing is no one's tipped me yet.
Clearly labeled jar here, people.
Perhaps that will change when you see me bend an ordinary spoon using only my mind.
All: Ooh.
Any time now.
[Louie groans.]
Bending the spoon.
[Groans.]
Oh, what's this thing made of? This is just sad.
Look at my boy out there.
[Chuckles.]
What a charmer.
Like father, like son.
[Laughs.]
Is Miles flirting with that lamppost? No, he's talking to a ghost girl.
Oh.
Well, how come I can see Miles and not her? Because Miles lives here.
You can only see outside ghosts when they come inside.
Hmm.
- This house is very special.
- Hmm.
[Groans.]
[Spoon clatters.]
Oops.
Yes.
[Clears throat.]
It's very special.
So Miles has a ghost girl crush.
Oh, how cute.
Hmm, look at him.
He'd have a better shot with the lamppost.
He's doing fine.
Uh-oh.
I think he's doing his bow tie jokes.
The great frankini predicts It's about to get worse.
There it is.
At least he's still chatting her up.
No, she's gone.
Now he's just talking to the lamppost.

Which could stretch into a lifetime of memories if you watch this little presentation I put together.
[Stammers.]
What did you do? Shh.
Let's watch.
[Presentation playing.]
Hi.
[Mouths silently.]
I'm Michelle hathaway.
Welcome to second chances.
My 20-step guide to improving your relationship.
Step one: Communication.
[Mouths silently.]
Eye contact is the key to happiness.
The eyes are a window to the soul.
[Panting.]
Dad Michelle has clearly lost her mind.
Yeah, I'm sensing that.
Don't worry, son.
I'll fix this.
Just follow my lead.
Miles, what are you doing? You're missing the part where I talk about trust while paddling a canoe.
I don't care.
I don't want to date Wendy.
She's a haunter.
Whoa, Miles.
This smart, lovely woman went to all this trouble because she cares so much about you.
Thank you, ray.
It's almost like she sees you as a son.
I do.
And she'd never get so carried away that she'd steer you in the wrong direction just to feel needed.
Yeah So if she thinks Wendy's good enough to date her son, then you'd do well to consider it.
I guess you're right.
Wait! That girl in there is a haunter.
There is no way I can allow my sweet Miles to date the likes of her.
Really? Okay.
If you say so.
Mmhmm.
How am I gonna break the news to Wendy? Oh.
She's gone.
Ooh, chapter eight.
I'm releasing a dove.
Dad, the way you just turned Michelle around was brilliant.
If I ever need advice on women, I'm coming to you.
Thanks, Miles.
The ray Preston school of dating.
[Laughs.]
I like it.
Oh, by the way, when was the last time you were on a date? Get your butt upstairs and finish your homework.
I can't believe you got skyler back.
Yeah, you really stepped up, tay.
You're a hero.
Like Abraham Lincoln.
Only real.
He's here! [All shriek.]
I love you! - Can I take a picture with you? - Can I have a hug? Ew, gross! No hugging.
Ugh.
Ever heard of kooties? Now here to perform his hit song, I'm dancing on a rainbow, skyler makepeace! [Cheers and applause.]
Quiet down, silly females.
Rainbows are purple rainbows are green rainbows are yellow and that's the color of pee [Giggles.]
Pee.
What is happening? What is he doing? You know what? Forget that song.
Check this out.
Girls are yucky, girls are gross I like to rap, but I don't like toast Singing stupid love songs make me frown I do my rhyming upside down [Crowd gasps.]
No! Look out! [Thud.]
Second verse, same as the first.
[Laughs.]
Okay.
Obviously, Louie is out there possessing skyler.
It was the only way to get skyler back for the fundraiser.
Why are you trying to help so much? That's not very You.
Because I'm the reason skyler left in the first place.
The chair, the water bottle all me and Louie.
Are you kidding? You knew this fundraiser was important to me.
You're supposed to be my sister! What's this? Pickles, chocolate syrup was this for crazy cakes day? Uhno.
That tradition is lame.
Look, I'm sorry I messed up your fundraiser.
Yeah, but at least now I know why.
It took two days to get the smell of cheese out of my hair.
And then the hot sauce got in your eye and we had to go to the E.
R.
[Laughs.]
That that part wasn't funny.
Actually, it kind of was.
The nurse with bug eyes? [Laughs.]
"The doctor will see you now.
" I should never have blown off crazy cakes day.
I mean, a day of stuffing weird food into your sister's mouth? How could anyone outgrow that? My schedule is pretty open tomorrow.
I'd like that.
[Chuckles.]
Oh! So nice to see everything in here is going well.
I just spent two hours trapped in a tween dream cover boy, but I'm fine, thanks for asking.
On your mark, get set, eat! [Blows whistle.]
Whoo! Ugh.
Toothpaste? Anchovies? - I'm gonna hurl! - Gross! Both: Best day ever! [Spooky music.]
