The Haunted Hathaways (2013) s02e01 Episode Script

Why won't you open up? My feelings are no one's business.
Oh.
(Chuckles) Elevator door's stuck again.
It's going to make me late for practice.
Come on.
Come on.
Taylor.
Are you forgetting you live with Louie Preston Or as I'm known in Mexico, "El ghosto supremo.
" Yes, that is definitely what everyone calls you.
Step aside, sweetheart, and let me do my thing.
Ha-ha.
Once again, taking care of business with style and grace.
(Bat shrieking) (Screaming) What did I miss? What did I miss? Fake bats? Not funny, Frankie.
I didn't do anything.
We'll see about that.
One lie detector coming up.
Give me a second.
It's early.
Are you serious? I'll ask the questions.
Is your name Francesca Hathaway? Yes, and you're a goober.
True.
Did you make the fake bats fly out of the elevator? No.
Also true.
But I don't get it.
If not you, who? Maybe the girl behind you doubled over in laughter? (Laughing) Got you! That was payback for hiding your butt in my backpack yesterday.
You guys have to see this test question.
(Flatulence from backpack) That wasn't me.
That was my backpack.
Taylor, you now leave me no choice but to seek total revenge.
(Imitating toddler) Yes, you will 'cause you're a scary ghost.
I'm serious.
I'm coming for you.
(Imitates Hulk) You dropped something.
I'm going to get her back good.
Absolutely.
You're sure to come up with something brilliant.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
Lie.
(Spooky rock music) Don't know how we ended up this way But I guess you could call us The haunted Hathaways Nice job on the banner, girls.
I love how you put each of our heads on inchworm bodies.
Oh, inchworms? (Chuckles) Good.
'Cause my body doesn't actually look like that.
Sophie and I stayed up all night making it.
So worth it, though.
We need to get the whole school to come out to out first meet Friday.
Did you guys hear a new girl is joining our team? Yeah, I hope she's good.
This could be the year we take state.
Hey, is this the (Screaming) Gymnastics team? I guess it is.
I'm so sorry.
This must have taken you All.
Night.
Our bodies don't really look like that.
So, I'm the new girl.
Meadow.
"M" as in meadow, "e" as in, "eeeek! This was not a good first impression.
" "A" as in, "aaaay, is this fun wordplay making you forget I ruined your sign?" Yes.
I'm Taylor.
Don't worry about the banner.
Accidents happen.
It's okay.
I can fix it.
Oh.
Double-sided tape.
Great idea.
Oh, my gosh.
- Are you okay? - Susan.
That is such a pretty name.
And I'm not just saying that because I kicked you in the head.
I have an aunt Susan and every time she comes to visit, she gives me a peppermint.
(Chuckles) I'm lying.
Her name is Sharon.
What am I doing? Meadow, relax.
Breathe.
Everything is going to be okay.
(Sighs) (Chuckles) You're right.
(Chuckles) I'm going to turn around and start all over.
(Chuckles) Second first impression.
Whoo-hoo.
Hi, I'm Meadow.
I'm here to join the gymnastics team.
Is your lip bleeding? Mm-hmm.
I could put my butt in Taylor's closet.
Or purse.
Or sink.
Louie, you need to start thinking outside the butt.
You're right, Frankie.
I need to go bigger with my scares.
It's time I came out of my shell.
(Chuckles) I put this on when I have to think.
Hey! There's my favorite little buddy.
I'm leaving.
Wait.
I need a favor.
(Sighs) I want you to enter a spelling bee for me.
Whoo.
A spelling bee? N-o.
Come on, I want to try out my skills.
We don't have spelling bees back in ghost world, only scaring bees.
I live in the wrong dimension.
It's easy.
You just have to stand there while I tell you how to spell the words.
Stand there? I don't know.
It's seems like a lot of work.
Prize is 500 bucks.
Really? Wow.
That money could change a lot of lives.
(Engine running) (Screaming) Frankie, no.
(Engine revving) Oh come on, I gave birth to you! I so need one of those.
I'm in.
(Whispers) Yeah.
- Hey! - Dad, guess what? I'm entering a bee.
A scaring bee? That's great, son I will be there to cheer you on.
Whoo! Ha-ha.
No, a spelling bee! To the dictionary! Oh.
That's great, son.
(Laughs) I'll be there.
Whoo.
Mom, can you help me braid my hair? Something tells me I'm not doing it right.
Give me a sec.
I'm just finishing up the dessert menu for your gymnastics meet.
Dessert menu? You're "snack mom.
" All you need are orange slices.
(Chuckles) Orange slices? (Imitating siren yawn) Hey, was that the "yawn police," because orange slices are boring.
When I was given the high honor of being named "snack mom" Weren't you stuck with it because you forgot to read an email? I knew that with that title came great responsibility.
Hmm.
Check it out.
Crème brulee.
You tell me, "snack mom" or "snack da bomb?" Am I right? Anything you say, lady with the blowtorch.
Hey, Taylor.
It's me, meadow.
"M" as in mea I remember.
Come on in.
So, how are you doing, Meadow? (Sighs) I've had worse first days of school.
(Chuckles) At least this time I didn't start a fire.
You really did that? No.
Yes.
Anyway, I wanted to apologize about the banner.
(Chuckles) I get real oh! Klutzy in new situations.
(Chuckles) It happens to everybody.
(Chuckles) It happens to me a lot.
My dad's in the army so this is my fourth school in four years.
I know what you're going through.
I mean, I only had to do the new school thing once and that was hard enough.
Come on.
You're cool, pretty.
I can't imagine you having any problems.
I'm coming for you Hathaway.
Be afraid! Be very afraid! Ha-ha.
Whoa! Trust me, I have problems.
Look, you have to come back to practice tomorrow.
Everyone needs to get to know the real you.
Seriously? Humpty is down.
I repeat, humpty is down.
Look, tomorrow just try not to be nervous.
I'll try.
You know, when I calm down I'm actually not the worst athlete in the world.
Look.
What? Meadow, that was awesome.
Our team could totally use you.
It's kind of easy when I relax.
(Chuckles) Fire! Make way people, flaming custard! Hello, Michelle Hathaway.
"Snack mom.
" Ooh.
Well, Frankie, here we are.
The bee.
The big show.
Isn't it magical? Yeah.
I have goosebumps.
I hope I studied hard enough.
(Laughs) You said it, Miles.
Hey, are you even listening to me? (Laughs) You said it, Miles.
You're seriously tuning me out? (Laughs) You said it, Miles.
Hmm.
This place is pretty crowded for a spelling bee.
Hmm.
Lucky I got a seat.
Oh, yeah.
This is pleasant.
This is what you want.
First up, Ms.
Hathaway.
Your word is "quagmire.
" Whew.
Quagmire.
(Chuckles) Q-u-a-g-m-I-r-e.
Quagmire.
Q-u-a-g-m-I-r-e.
(Bell rings) (Applause) Good job, son.
(Laughs) Man, I can't believe people actually get excited about these things.
T-o-n.
Badminton.
(Bell rings) Be aggressive! Be-be aggressive! B-e-a-g-g-r-e S? Ah, I don't need to spell it 'cause my boy can! Go Miles! Whoo-hoo! Ha-ha.
That was an easy word.
I'll show you an easy word.
Whoa! And with that you advance to tomorrow's final round.
- Yes.
- We're going to the finals! I have so many wardrobe decisions to make.
Hi, I'm Jeremy, the other finalist.
Just want to wish you good luck.
Don't try and head-trip me.
Do you have family here? Mm-hmm.
(Pom-poms rattling) Du, wan, wan, wanna, wan.
No.
Me neither.
My grandma wanted to come but we didn't have the money to get her here.
That's a shame.
It's too bad though.
Sometimes I think watching me in the bee is the one thing that keeps my "bubala" going.
Can you believe that guy? Like he could suck us into his sob story.
(Sniffs) Bubala? Should have seen that one coming.
It's a new banner.
Meadow made it to replace the one she tore.
It's like staring into a mirror.
I'm telling you guys, she's really sweet.
And a great gymnast.
I saw it for myself.
Taylor, it's not that we don't believe you (Chuckles) Actually, no, that's exactly it.
We don't believe you.
Trust me.
She just gets nervous easily.
So when she comes in, everyone please talk in calm, soothing voices.
Like a mime.
Sure.
Hey, everybody.
Remember me? (Chuckles) This girl does.
Because I kicked her in the head.
Meadow, so good to see you.
Welcome.
I'm not sure what is going on.
Show the girls a cool move like in the bakery.
Show us, Meadow.
I guess I can try.
Meadow.
Meadow.
(All) Meadow.
Meadow.
Meadow.
I can't do it.
(Screaming) She's still a little nervous.
Sophie, I said I'm sorry a zillion times.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Not good news I take it.
Susan's injured, Meadow's humiliated and the entire team blames me.
Oh, sweetie, you were just trying to do a good thing for a new student.
All anyone's going to remember is that I lost us our first meet.
Maybe not.
Hopefully they'll also remember these jalapeño shrimp balls.
I'm going to serve as the team snack.
Yummers.
(Screaming) My mouth is on fire! Are you okay? I'll be fine.
Look, when you're the captain it's your job to be a leader.
I'm very proud of you.
Thanks, mom.
(Screaming) Why do I keep eating these? Purr, purr.
Meow, meow.
Litter box.
Louie, I know you're in the cat and want to jump out and scare me after I lower my guard.
Dang it.
Look, I'm not trying to get revenge on you I know you've had a hard day, which is why I got you a gift.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
(Chuckles) All for you.
There's nothing in here.
I guess you got me.
What the what? Hello.
(Screaming) Next time, you might want to turn it on first.
(Sighs) Sorry, Frankie.
I have to drop out of the bee.
Ugh.
You're so frustrating.
I'd make you cry but the last time I did that, you called it "freeing.
" That was a good cry.
We're staying in.
Mama needs her motor chair.
Yeah.
But what about Jeremy's grandma? This prize money could pay for her visit.
Besides, I'm not even technically a contestant.
Okay, I'm not going to pretend to understand what the rest of you people call "guilt," but you're not cheating.
All that spelling is coming from your brain, fair and square.
I know, but it just doesn't feel right.
I'm out, and there's nothing that'll convince me otherwise.
There he is.
(Laughs) M-I-l-e-s.
Who's the man who spells the best? He's Miles.
What? He's Miles.
Whoo! (Laughs) Wow.
Thanks, Dad.
You were awesome up there.
I can't wait to see you in the finals.
Uh, dad, about tomorrow You better bring your yard clippings bin, because (Chuckles) We're about to mow down the competition.
We're still working on the trash talk.
Hi, what can I get you? Kale energy smoothie, pecan-encrusted lettuce cup? Do you have any water? Go away, please.
Lot of people here.
I'm not sure this is a good idea.
I am.
You can totally do this.
Just wait here and loosen up.
Ugh.
What is she doing here? You guys have to trust me.
With Susan out, meadow's our best shot at vault.
We worked on it all morning.
Nothing like a hot cup of kale, am I right? Mmm.
Taylor, the only two times we've seen this girl she crashed through a sign and took out Susan.
I believe in her, and I think you guys should, too.
She's a truly gifted athlete.
(Grunting) I'll be right back.
I-s-m.
Antidisestablishmentarianism.
(Bell rings) (Applause) Dang it.
This guy's like a big poop.
He won't go down.
Round 16 and we're still tied.
Bubula? Jeremy.
Bubula? How are you doing? Oh, I'm a little hungry and a little weak but I made it here.
Are you seeing this? Please, the frail old lady bit? I was pulling that scam when I was five.
Ms.
Hathaway, you're up.
Okay, Miles, let's do this.
That's my boy.
Right there.
Finish him off, son! You the man! (Laughing) I can't do it, Frankie.
Jeremy should win.
I quit.
You can't do this to me.
Without your help, I'm toast up here.
Ms.
Hathaway, your word is "appoggiatura.
" Gesundheit.
No, that's your word.
"Appoggiatura.
" (Sighs) Fine.
I don't need Miles.
I can do this.
Appoggiatura.
O- (buzzer rings) I'm sorry, that's incorrect.
(All) Aww.
Which means if Jeremy gets it right, he is our champion.
Appoggiatura Wow, that's a tough one.
Uh He doesn't know it.
Yes, I'm still in this.
Come on Miles, just do one more word.
Fine.
I guess I could do one more word.
- Yes.
- For Jeremy.
Get that ding ready, 'cause I got this.
A-p-p-o-g-g-I-a-t-u-r-a.
Appoggiatura.
(Bell rings) We have a winner.
That was for you, Bubula.
(Applause and cheers) I can't believe I'll have to sit on a chair at home that I can't drive around.
I'm the real victim here.
I saw what you did, and I've never been more proud.
Thanks, pop.
You know, in a way, people should have brought their yard clippings bin, beca Don't.
Son, don't.
Stick to spelling.
(Applause and cheers) Tay, nice routine.
We might win this thing.
Looks like it's coming down to vault.
It's all up to your girl now.
Please stop doing that.
Meadow, look at me.
I want to you to pretend it's just you and me alone in the room.
See, isn't that better? (Horn blaring) (Gasps) It's not working.
There's no way I can do this.
What's the worst that could happen? I don't know.
I make a total fool of myself in front of my brand new school? It's payback time.
Pardon me, strange ladies.
Louie.
Meadow, get ready 'cause I think I can change your mind.
Louie, I know you're in there.
I'm not talka da English.
Louie.
Listen to me.
Today is your lucky day.
You want your revenge on me? You got it.
Is this another trick? I'm giving you the green light to possess me.
One condition.
You make me look like a complete fool in front of everyone here.
You're just giving this to me? Taylor, if you think I'm so pathetic that I just accept your charity, then you madame, know me very well.
Let's do this.
Hey, everybody.
Look at me.
I'm Taylor hatha-lame.
I'm a cowboy.
I like to eat fried beans and fart.
(Flatulence) My horse head is hungry.
Not the flan! Not the flan! Oh.
That felt good.
I think it's safe to say there's nothing you could possibly do now that will ever reach the level of embarrassment you've just witnessed.
I believe in you.
You got this.
(Inspirational music) (Applause) She did it.
We're gonna win.
Tay, you were right.
Kale for everyone.
Thanks, Taylor.
I can't believe you did that for me.
Hey, we new girls have to look out for each other.
- I'll get the nurse.
- Yeah.
(Grunts) (Sighs) That would have been a lot easier if this chair had I don't know wheels.
Come on.
I bet Jeremy did something really wonderful with that prize money.
(Engine revving) Hey, Frankie, look what bubula bought me with the winnings.
Woo-hoo!
