I am not getting paid enough for this.

(panting)

This place is freakin' me out,

it's just a mirror.

(upbeat music)

- [Satsuki] God, Leo, you
are the slowest storyteller.

What happened then?

- And then, when the
janitor turned around,

the face in the mirror...

(screaming)

Yeah, pretty scary, don't you think?

I'm thinking about hooking up with CAA

or turning it into a series.

Ever since Lost, the
nets will take anything

with a supernatural bent to it.

Originality is dead.

- No, behind you, you dope.

(upbeat music)

(screaming)

- School's over.

Will you kids go home
so I can start cleaning?

(laughing)

- [Hajime] I'm glad
that janitor showed up.

Our school's getting disgusting.

- [Leo] I don't understand
what that powder is

they always pour on vomit.

What's up with that?

- [Girl] It's sand,

just like the sand Jesus
used to heal the blind man.

- [Leo] I'm not listening to you.

- [Satsuki] If I end up

not being able to look
in the mirror tonight,

it's going to be your fault, Leo.

- Are there any mirrors
left in your house?

- Huh, what do you mean?

- You've lived there a while now.

Haven't you shattered
them by looking at 'em?

- Oh, I just love the
charming little things

that come out of that mouth of yours.

Oh, look at that.

- [Hajime] Stop it, you're
stretching my lips out.

- [Satsuki] Like this is the first time

that's ever happened.

- What's that supposed to mean?

- Oh, you know what I'm referring to.

- I don't think I like your insinuation.

- [Leo] I'm home.

Mom, Mom.

Are you home?

Where are you?

I want my after-school snack.

You're not in the
Manischewitz again, are you?

I'll tell dad.

I found the bottle.

You kept it down to
three glasses this time.

I'm proud of you.

Not Grand Theft Auto again.

What would Hillary Clinton say?

(button clicking)

Huh?

Mom, what's going on?

- [Woman] Come rub my nipples.

- Excuse me.

- [Woman] Didn't you hear me?

Oh, never mind, I'm
playing games of my own.

(screen flickering)

- [Satsuki] Mirror, mirror, in my hand,

who's the hottest chick in the land?

- [Cat] Lindsay Lohan.

- You, I know you've got paws,

but you could at least
knock before you come in.

- We were calling you forever.

- What do you want?

- Leo's having a tanic appack.

- Huh?

- Satsuki, there's something strange

going on with my mother.

- [Satsuki] Not the Manischewitz again.

- No, just three glasses this time.

Something else, something harder.

She's playing video games with the TV off.

- [Satsuki] How's her score?

- [Leo] Pretty good, actually.

Kind of fuzzy on how the thing's played,

but she's got like a bazillion points.

Wait a minute.

That's not the point.

Listen, she's different,
different than usual.

(upbeat music)

(screaming)

- I said it once, I'll say it again,

slow storyteller.

(phone beeping)

Now a dramatic pause.

Hajime!
- So, I'm nailing this midget

when my mom walks in, (laughing)

- Hajime!
- And in the midge

screams out..

- Hajime!
- Hang on, I got company.

What does she want?

I'm telling a story here!

- It's probably that
damn midget story again.

Leo needs us!

- Leo?

(doorbell ringing)

- Leo!
- Leo!

- Open up!
- Leo, open up!

- [Hajime] Leo, open the damn door!

- Why are you being so loud and obnoxious?

You're going to annoy the neighbors.

Hold it down, please.

- Do what?

- Blink twice if she's loaded.

- She's fine.
- Make up your mind.

On the phone, you said
she was freaking you out.

- [Leo] There's nothing wrong, really.

I love my mother.

- Okay, blink three times-
(door slamming)

- I was talking-
- Don't you ever

close the door on me like that again.

I'll kick your ass.

Leo, open this door!

- You little...

Remind me why I'm his friend again.

- His eyes looked kind of weird to me.

It's riddling.

His damn mother.

So, you want to go?

(upbeat music)

(students chattering in hallway)

- Oh, Satsuki, what are you doing?

- Do you think my eyebrows are even?

- I hate pride and
arrogance, Proverbs 8:13.

- And I, for one,

don't see one thing you
have to be proud about

or are you just hoping
to grow pretty one day?

"Oh, daddy, can I please
have facial reconstruction?"

(screaming)

- [Satsuki] I'll show you
facial reconstruction.

You're gonna be the one needing surgery

after I bash your ugly face in

with this Encyclopedia Britannica.

- Just make sure your blind me,

so I don't have to look at you anymore.

Right, Leo?

Leo, where are you going?

Leo?

- So, who are Tweedledum and Tweedledork?

- The meek shall inherit...

I have no idea.

- [Hajime] He's been acting
weird ever since last night.

First, I thought it was new drugs,

but now I wonder if it's
those chess club dorks.

- [Satsuki] Let's go ask Mr. Sakata.

- [Sakata] Didn't you do
something to make Leo angry?

- No more than usual.

(coughing)

- Whenever people live
or work with one another,

there are bound to be times
when things don't go so well.

After some time passes,

you'll be able to speak
with him as you did before.

- Okay, but he seems totally different.

- [Sakata] Don't worry.

- Yay.
- Yay.

Man, that guy is tweaked.

- No joke.

- I thought meth was only bad in Oregon.

- Yeah, but it's like he was
a totally different person.

- Who's there?

- I just remembered Leo
said the same thing.

- [Leo] It's like she's a
totally different person,

person, person, person...

- It's not meth, it's another damn ghost.

(laughing)

- [Cat] Call Mensa.

- Stop doing that.

- The spiritual sleep was broken.

Now that they've awakened,

no one can escape their
supernatural power.

You two won't be around much longer.

- Oh, thanks, you can go now.

- See ya.

(water running)

- Oh, Leo, what's up?

So, how is your tanic appack?

Did Satsuki Alavam or Dazax?

Oh, I guess she did.

Ew.

(upbeat music)

(screaming)

- [Satsuki] I'm home.

Katuro-
- What?

- [Satsuki] Have you
done your homework yet?

Oh, wait, you're dyslexic.

Done you're yet homework, have?

You, you, I'm answer.

Hey, talking me too.

Well, if you're not going
to do your homework,

then at least help me with the chores.

(screen flickering)

Katuro, what are you doing?

You don't wear glasses, and
certainly not Anne Cline's.

(upbeat music)

(screaming)

Dad, I've got bad news,

Katuro's wearing glasses.

Wait, that's not the bad news.

Katuro doesn't have eyes!

(screaming)

Wow, this is not good.

I mean, can we not do this?

(screaming)

Can we not negotiate this?

(screaming)

- Are you all right?

- Yeah, thank you.

Why do you have your
shoes on inside the house?

- This isn't the time for
cultural translation differences.

We've gotta get out of here.

(upbeat music)

A police station, thank God.

I never thought I'd be happy
to see one of those things.

Hey, put the donuts down.

Drop the Krispy Kreme, Serpico,

we need your help here.
- These people in my house

look like my father
and my brother after...

- They're imposters!

They wear glasses, but
they don't have eyes!

- I see, and did these ghosts....

Look like this?

(screaming)

(moaning)

- It's like a zombie
Weight Watchers meeting.

- Yeah, it's like before weigh in.

(moaning)

(moaning)

- Did I say Weight Watchers?

I meant Avon.

- That or Richard Simmons
sweating to the oldies.

They're monsters, idiot.

- Oh, hell.

Let's start the running away part.

- Yeah.

(moaning)

Why on Earth did we decide

to hole up in the old
school house, why, why?

- Because the mall was
closed, I don't know.

- [Satsuki] We passed REI,
we passed an Oshmond's,

we passed Neiman's for Christ's sakes.

You're a idiot.

- Hajime, Satsuki, this way.

Come this way please.

- Leo.

- What's up with the
Fire Island wrist action?

- Oh, for God's sakes,

you kids are so stupid.

You both deserve to die.

(upbeat music)

- [Leo] I'm so glad you're both safe.

I was worried about
you, very worried, yeah.

I was afraid you'd already
become victims of the Utsushimi.

- [Satsuki] Uma Therma sushi?

- [Leo] The ghosts of the mirror.

- [Hajime] The ghost and Mrs. Muir?

- [Leo] No, the ghosts of the mirror.

- Oh.
- Oh, you mean

the ghost you grabbed
the janitor was real.

- [Leo] Yes,

they trade places with
people's reflections

and then walk around the city at night.

- Kind of like thriller,

a fat thriller.
- Yes,

they've probably been traded
out already like cars.

I think we're the only ones left.

- What'll we do?

- Okay, I'm sorry,

when are you going to need
another dramatic plot point

until you decide to whip
out that damn ghost book?

- Good idea, but I left it at home.

- [Leo] I'm still talking.

Hey, I've got an idea.

Why don't we stay here
alone and try to fight them?

- Okay.
- Okay.

- You can trust me, yeah.

- Wait.

- Wait for what?

Let's go.

- [Hajime] My BS detector's going, "Ding."

- What do you mean, Hajime?

Everything is fine.
- I can read.

Not well, but I can read

and those letters are backwards.

Hello? Backwards, the
letters, mirror image.

(laughing)

- So you noticed, did you?

And here I was thinking I could
just quietly trap you two...

Inside the mirror.

(laughing)

(screaming)

You are the last of the humans.

Now then, come into the mirror world.

(laughing)

My mirror homies are trying
to knock down the front door

like angry Avon ladies.

It's just a matter of time
before they force their way in.

It might be a little painful,

like watching Two and a Half Men,

but you'll both get used
to it after a while.

- I'm sorry, I've never
gotten used to that show.

Now get out of my way.

I'm getting my little brother.

- Wait, mop girl!

- You're on our side?

Wait a minute, what's your angle?

What happened to my leg?

- If you break it, your little brother's

going to the retarded school in the sky.

- The ghost diary.

Nice trick, flea bag.

- I'm not doing this for you.

If you get captured,

things would be a bit inconvenient for me.

Just take the book and
get out of here now.

(cat hissing)

- Why you!

You're a ghost, how dare
you take the side of humans!

- They're my prey.

Your buddy didn't like this,

and doing whatever you
please is ruining my plans.

Remember I was here first.

Now that we've got this pissing
contest out of the way...

(glass shattering)

(screaming)

- That was so nice of
him to bring us my book.

Here it is, how to put
the sushi thing to sleep.

Mom's writing is terrible,

but I think it says make a barrier

by pointing a mirror
toward another mirror.

- I love that trick.

- There's more.

She must have flunked every class

because she was writing
in this stupid book.

Okay, it also says
mirrors facing each other

are a portal to the demon world.

If we open that door, we
can get back the people

who are trapped inside the mirrors.

- My legs are moving-
- But I feel like

we're not getting anywhere.

(upbeat music)

- [Hajime] That's better.

(upbeat music)

Oh, God, stairs.

Let's go.

(moaning)

That is not a good look for you.

- [Satsuki] Kankles!

(screaming)

- Satsuki!

(glass shattering)

(screaming)

(laughing)

- [Satsuki] Help me!

Somebody help me!

And stop stepping on my feet.

Get off me, and give me some space.

(moaning)

How pretty.

Very pretty.

(screaming)

Hey, did you see how awesome I look?

(upbeat music)

Whoa, wow!

(moaning)

Wow, was I tripping or did that work?

- One way to find out.

(people chattering)

- I guess I need to rethink
my anti-drug stance.

- I don't remember having that
many drinks at happy hour.

(screaming)

Hey, what the hell happened to the door?

The principal's gonna kill me.

I'm being framed.

It's Hadley, somebody find me Hadley.

(laughing)

- Good thing that compact
had an unbreakable mirror.

We would have been totally screwed

if your face would have broken that one.

Gotta love MAC.

- That compact was a
keepsake from my mother,

my dead mother.

- Satsuki, I was

just kidding around-
- Wait a second.

- I didn't mean to make fun...

I'm sorry.
- I'm kicking ghost ass.

What's the matter with you?

- Nothing, you just gave me
a heart attack, that's all.

- [Keiichirou] Satsuki!

(laughing)

- Keiichirou!
- Hey!

- It was a ghost, just like I said.

There really were mirror ghosts.

I can't believe you wouldn't believe me.

You know how right I am about these things

being the school's resident
psychical researcher and all.

I did wish I would've
gotten a picture though,

as proof, dammit.

Then I could have sold it to Time

or used it for-
- I liked the zombie Leo

better.
- No, the Daily Mirror!

Wait, where are you going?

- I'm going home, finally.

- But I haven't even
told you my first person

account of what happened
to me being in the mirror.

You're not listening to me.

- [Hajime] I am listening,

not paying attention, but I am listening.

- [Leo] Well, if you'd been in a mirror,

I'd listened to you and attentively too.

- But then if everything
was already reversed,

which world would be the real world,

would it be the mirror world or this one?

Maybe the reflection we see
is real, ever thought of that?

(upbeat music)

(car horns honking)

Isn't that just freaking you out?

I mean, seriously,

isn't that just whack crap?

(laughing)

I'm playing with your mind, man.

And you know what the weird part is?

I'm not even high, not
a bit, totally sober.

- [Narrator] When you
walk down a dark road,

there's something you
need to be careful of.

Under no circumstances should you get lost

or the demon from the
road to the underworld

will take you to the River Sunzoo.
