The Proud Family (2001) s02e02 Episode Script

A Hero for Halloween

Hello, children.
And I do mean boys, girls
and ’tweens, y’all.
Today is Halloween.
Which means tonight is
the inaugural, first annual
Wizard Kelly’s Hallo-tween
Fright-tacular, y’all.
You can come
dressed as a pirate,
a wicked witch,
or as my favorite character,
the Wizard himself.
I know I will.
For only $49.99,
your mama or daddy
can buy you the slammin’
Wizard Kelly basketball costume
or the Financial-Genius-
Captain-of-Industry costume.
-(cash register rings)
-They’re tight! They’re tight!
And finally,
my special musical guest
is none other than
the hip-hop Lothario himself,
Lil’ Romeo, y’all.
That’s right. Right here,
at the fabulous
Wizard Kelly Auditorium,
where Lil’ Romeo will be headlining
Wizard Kelly’s Hallo-tween
Fright-tacular, y’all.
Be a snoozer, and you’ll
definitely be a loser.
Buy your ten dollar tickets
at the box office now.
And remember, children,
it all started
with an orange basketball.
Oh! Lil’ Romeo, up in his house.
Hey! I’m buying my ticket now.
(all) Yeah!
Yo, Penny, aren’t you coming
to the Fright-tacular?
No, I’m not feeling it.
Besides,
Halloween is for kids.
Halloween is
for everybody, Penny.
You got that right.
I love dressing up.
Maybe Proud
just doesn’t like costumes.
Seeing that she dresses up
like a pumpkin-head every day.
-(all laughing)
-Ha ha.
No, I dress up
as a grownup teenager, OK?
Look, it’s the same thing
every year.
You get all dressed up
to go have a good time,
but by the end of the night,
you go home mad
because the Gross sisters
bombed you.
But the Wizard is
having this ’dult jam.
OK, you kiddies go right
along and pay ten dollars
for the joy of getting a bag
full of nasty penny candy.
The only nasty Penny here,
is you.
Come on, y’all,
let’s get our tickets.
I can’t wait.
I’m going to be Jane.
Are you going to be
my Tarzan, Sticky?
Nope.
Sticky!
(laughing)

(wolf howling)
(growling)
(screams)
(sings fanfare)
Don’t worry, Penny.
Ow!
Snack Dad to the rescue.
Daddy, what’s all this?
(chuckles)
Halloween, baby girl.
-Guess who I am?
-(Penny) Snack Dad.
and those must be
the Snack Brats.
They stink.
(sniffs) Hmm,
I think you’re right.
Trudy, change your kids!
(fanfare)
Snack Woman to the rescue!
Oh, no, not you, too, Mama.
Yes, me, too.
I love wearing costumes.
It makes me feel
like a kid again.
You’re right, Mom.
Wearing costumes
is for kids.
Little kids.
Oh, come on, baby.
Get in the spirit.
-You’re never too old for Halloween.
-(door creaks open)
(organ music playing)
Hey, Mama, Papi, when are you
going to get into costume? (laughs)
You better check yourself
before you wreck yourself, boy.
Don’t make me get ugly.
(speaking Spanish)
Too late.
(laughs)
Ooh, Count Papi,
you can bite my neck anytime.
No thanks.
I don't eat pork.
(laughs)
And who are you,
Suga Mama?
I’m the Bride
of Frankenstein.
(speaking Spanish) I can't believe
Frankenstein could be so desperate.
(laughs)
So, Penny, what costume
are you wearing?
The one I have on.
I’m studying tonight.
The only thing
you’re studying
is how to put on this.
See? S.G.
You are
(sings fanfare) Snack Girl!
Daddy, that costume is S.G.
(sings fanfare) "So Goofy."
I am not wearing it.
Oh, you’re wearing it
or you’ll be S.G.
(sings fanfare)
"So grounded."
No, I’ll be S.G.
(sings fanfare)
"So glad."
Oh, I wasn’t talking about
just tonight.
I mean for the (sings fanfare)
rest of the year.
-Mama!
Penny, I’d really appreciate it
if you wore the costume.
This party is going to be big
and I could really use your help.
Please, please, please?
Okay, Mama, I’ll wear it.
Thank you, sweetie.
This party is going to be fun.
We’re going to have games,
candy,
and a magician.
Oh
Did somebody say musician?
No, Bobby, she said a magician.
Then, uh, let me make
some of this food disappear ♪
’Cause I’m hungry, hungry ♪
So, how do I look?
Snack-tacular.
Now, baby girl, you got
the best job at the party.
You get to give out
my latest snack creation.
Proud Scary Snacks, ha ha.
Scary? That describes
every snack you ever made.
-(laughs)
-As I was saying,
before I was
Jurassically interrupted,
I stayed up all night
creating the Proud Scary Snacks
and I know I’ve got
a hit on my hands.
How do they taste?
Well, I don’t know.
Does anyone want to try
(running, door slams)
-one?
-(doorbell rings)
All right, our first
trick-or-treater.
(man)
Hello, Mr. Proud.
Do you remember me?
Alvin Peterson?
Of course,
I remember you, Peterson.
I’ll never forget my
favorite all day sucker, ha ha.
I negotiated you down to nothing
when I bought this house.
Mm-hmm. Well, I see you’ve done
nothing to it since you bought it.
Look, why are you here, Peterson?
Uh
I feel bad about the deal
I made with you.
Ah-ah, hey.
I’m not giving you
any more money, Peterson.
I think $500 was more than
a fair price for this house.
No, no, no, I come to warn you.
Your house is haunted.
Yeah, I know
every day, by my mama.
No, no Mr. Proud,
your house will be visited tonight
by the ghost of Garrett Krebbs.
It’s Halloween.
I hope to see
a lot of ghosts, goblins
and crazy former homeowners.
Here, have a Proud Scary Snack.
I’m serious
(gags)
Man, these are nasty.
How do you make
any money, anyway?
Listen, this house
was once owned
by Garrett Krebbs,
but 30 years ago on
Halloween,
Krebbs’ house
was repossessed.
He was so brokenhearted,
he died the same day.
But he swore
that every ten years,
he’d come back and
scare away the family
that dared to live
in this house.
Why do you think
I sold the house
so cheaply to you,
ten years ago?
Because I’m
a savvy negotiator?
No, you boob!
It was because Garrett Krebbs
scared me out.
I felt bad for not telling you
about the ghost
when I sold you the house,
so now you know.
If I were you, Mr. Proud,
I’d pack up my family
and skedad-daddle.
If I were you, Peterson,
I’d get my nose checked.
Why do I need
to get my nose
Yee-ow!
That’s why!
(laughing)
(doorbell rings)
(all)
Trick or treat!
Oh, you’re so cute.
-Here you go.
-Ew.
Ow! Hey! Quit that!
(laughing)
Ooh, I can’t stand Halloween!
So, baby girl, how are my
Proud Scary Snacks going?
They’re flying out the door.
-Nobody wants them.
-(doorbell rings)
That’s because you don’t know
what you’re doing.
Let me show you
how to give out snacks.
(both)
Trick or treat!
I’ve got just the treat
you kids want.
Proud Scary
-(kids scream)
-Huh?
What’s wrong with those kids?
Your face on the wrappers
probably scared them.
Yeah, you probably ri
Hey, nobody insults Oscar Proud
at his own house.
Where do they go
to insult you?
You better beat it
before I hurt you, pops.
What the
Hey, man,
how did you do that?!
Oh, you must be the magician.
Well, it’s about time.
Trudy!
What are you
yelling about, Oscar?
Your magician’s finally here.
Look, pal, you’re on the clock.
Do some tricks
or take a walk.
Certainly.
Will you hold my hat?
Trick or treat.
(yells)
Ow!
That was amazing,
wasn’t it, Penny?
It was all right.
-(magician laughing)
-(kids cheering)
(Bobby)
Abacadabra ♪
Ala-kazam ♪
That there musician ♪
sure enough is the man ♪
Ooh, Bobby! Sing it, baby!
So, Papi. Do you know any tricks?
(speaking Spanish)
If I did, you wouldn't be here.
(laughing)
You know, Penny, now
that the magician’s here,
we have everything
under control.
If you want to go hang out
with your friends, it’s OK.
Nah, they’re all
acting silly
at Wizard Kelly’s
Fright-tacular, y’all.
Well, that’s what
I want you to do.
Here’s some money, baby.
Go have some fun with the Wiz, y’all.
But what about
Daddy’s snacks?
Don’t worry. They’ll still
be here next Halloween.
(Oscar)
Trudy! Trudy! Trudy!
(magician laughing)
One ticket for
the Fright-tacular, please.
I’m sorry, but we’re all sold out.
Sold out?!
Dang, I knew I shouldn’t
have come down here.
(kid)
Hey, Proud!
Happy Halloween.
(all laughing)
This has got to be
the worst day of my life.
Proud Scary Snacks.
We make the perfect pair
two losers.
Hmm, not bad.
(thunder rumbling)
(tires squealing)
Oh, snap!
(horn honking)
That was close.
(gasps)
I can fly?
I can fly!
Wee!
I can fly! I can fly!
Look! Falling from the sky!
A fireball!
Everybody run!
(crowd screaming)
Oh, no, that little boy!
(gasps)
Oh, honey,
are you all right?
Yes, Mom.
That hero rescued me.
This is amazing.
I’ve got super powers, too?
This is so cool!
I wonder what did this to me.
Could it be

Hey! This Fright-tacular
is the bomb-diggidy, y’all.

And so are these cool CD’s
the Wizard hooked us up
with in these goody bags.
And don’t forget
all this great candy!
No candy for me.
I’ve got to watch
my perfect figure.
Ooh! Me, too, girl.
I’m dressed as Luther Vandross.
The skinny Luther.

Well, all right! ♪

Hey! Ow! Stop that!

Dang, we got jacked.
(Nubia laughing)
Yo, Gina. All right.
Thanks to these
night-vision goggles,
this is the greatest heist
we ever pulled,
and nobody has a clue
we did it.
-(Penny) I do.
-Who said that?
(Penny)
I did.
You’re busted, Gross sisters.
Now give me those bags.
I don’t think so. Just because you’re
wearing a goofy cape and can fly,
doesn’t mean anything to the
Gross sisters. You better reckon not.
I said, give me the bags.
We ain’t scared of you.
Get him, Olei.
(elephant trumpeting)
I hope you enjoyed
your little spin.
Gina, give this fool the vac.
Have an "ice" day.
Okay, now, we can do this
the hard way,
or the easy way.
Your choice.
Come on, y’all,
let’s get out of here!
Help! Somebody get me
down from here! Help!
I know you kids are upset
about your goody bags,
but the Wizard promises
to make it up to you.
(kid) What are you
going to do, Wizard?
I’m giving everyone a coupon
for one free flavor
at any nearby Wizard Kelly’s
Three Flavors Ice Cream.
(audience cheering)
All you have to do
is buy the other two flavors
at the regular price.
(groans)
(gasps)
(gasping)
Yo, Wiz, check out
homey flying in a cape.
(Wizard)
That’s tight! That’s tight!
(cheering)
Hero! How can
the Wizard thank you
for saving all the
little children’s goody bags?
Not to mention saving the
Wizard a lot of money
in free ice cream.
Can you hook me up with a ticket
to the Fright-tacular?
Done, my high-flying friend.
And backstage passes
and an autograph
from Lil’ Romeo?
Don’t be too greedy or the he-ro
is going to end up with ze-ro.
Hey, hero, you want a freestyle
little somethin’-somethin’
for the fans out there?
Let’s do this.
(music rocking)
(audience cheering)
Trudy, I got to
give it up to you.
This magician is great.
I might even give him a tip.
You? Give someone a tip?
It must be magic.
(doorbell ringing)
I’m here.
(hiccups)
Look, pal, this is a kid’s party,
and it’s by invitation only.
I’m Presto the Great.
Your wife hired me
to perform magic at the party.
Hey, Trudy, some clown is here
saying he’s the magician.
I’m not a clown!
I’m a magician.
And I get paid up front.
Then you must think
that I’m a clown beca
If you’re the magician,
then who’s that guy?
(yells)
(all screaming)
Oh, no!
It’s a ghost, child.
Our behinds are
going to be toast, now.
Ow.
You’ve got that right,
polyester playa.
I’m the ghost of Garrett Krebbs,
and I’ve come back
to reclaim my house.
Garrett Krebbs?
I don’t believe it.
You sure haven’t aged well.
I’ve been dead 30 years.
What’s your excuse?
(speaking Spanish)
She's been dead for forty.
Well, ghost or not,
we can get it on right now, baby.
Mr. Krebbs,
why do you want our house?
I can never rest until I take back
what was taken from me.
Well, you know,
I never was really
attached to this house.
I was looking for something
a little more Mediterranean.
Uh, family, if we can please
go find a new place to live.
Run, everybody!
You’re not going anywhere, Proud.
(laughing)
(screaming)
(yelling)
(yelling)
Why are you doing this,
Garrett?
I mean, the house
isn’t that nice.
(Krebbs)
Payback, Suga, payback.
I’m paying you back
for making my last ten years miserable.
What did we do?
(Krebbs) It’s simple,
you’re living in my house,
and you’re happy.
There’s no way I can rest in peace
with a happy family in my house.
Come on, Krebbs,
no way we’re a happy family.
I give you Exhibit A:
Suga Mama.
Silence!
You have a wonderful family,
a pretty wife, three lovely kids,
and a cute little doggy.
Again, I’ll give you Exhibit A:
Suga Mama.
(Krebbs)
Silence!
You have everything I ever wanted,
and everything I never had.
Any last words
before you join me in the afterlife?
All right, Krebbs,
I see your point.
For the tidy sum of $500,
you can have your house back,
and I’ll throw in the old bag
i.e. you, Suga Mama for free.
What do you say?
Prepare to meet your doom,
Proud family.
(screaming)
Help! Help!
Hey, this party is blazing.
Yeah, too bad Penny’s not here.
Please.
That party-pooper would have
brought us all down.
Whoa!
(laughing)
(Oscar)
Help!
-Daddy?
-What you say, roadie?
Nothing. I had a good time,
but I’m needed elsewhere.
-Up, up and I’m out of
-(crash)
Peace out, hero.
My house is gone?
Or is it?
(ghosts laughing)
Give it up, Proud.
No one can save you now.
(laughing)
Leave this family alone,
whatever you are.
Oh, company?
Well, let me give you
a housewarming, hero.
Ha!
(yells)
Say good-bye forever.
You can’t escape
the ghost of Garrett Krebbs.
Ha ha ha ha!
Ghost, you’re about to rest in peace.
I mean, pieces.
Wait. What are you doing?
This can’t happen to me.
No, please.
-(shrieking)
-Spin, spin-a-rooney!
-(Krebbs) No! No! No!
No!
(explosions)
Unh!
I did it. I saved
my family from the ghost.
Penny. Did you see that superhero
fly that ghost out of the house?
Daddy, that was me.
Uh oh. Her daddy’s brain cells
are starting to kick in.
No, Suga Mama,
it really was me.
I could fly, I had super strengths.
I could see through walls.
Sound like she need a room
with rubber walls, y’all.
-Cuckoo ♪
-(Penny) I’m serious.
Don’t you believe me, Mama?
After what I just saw, baby,
I’d believe anything.
Come on, guys, I’m serious.
I saved everybody’s candy
at the concert,
and I had frozen breath.
(exhaling)
This was the best Halloween ever.
(Dijonay)
Girl, I heard the hero
jacked the Gross sisters up
for stealing
the goody bags last night.
And I heard the fire truck
had to get Nubia
down from a streetlight.
Shoot, word is,
Gina’s still defrosting.
The hero turned her
into a Gross-sicle.
-(all laughing)
-Hi, guys.
Hey, Penny, did you hear about
the hero who saved Halloween?
No, that’s news to me.
Yo, Pen, where were you
last night?
Uh, here and there, you know.
Look! Up in the sky.
It’s the hero.
My snacks are gone!
