Living Single (1993–1998): Season 2, Episode 8 - Trick or Trust - full transcript
The gang unsuccessfully try to scare Maxine during Halloween.
Don't you guys
just love Halloween?
Out of all the pagan holidays,
it's the most Christmas‐sy.
Once again, pumpkin
pie, we are in sync
'cause I too love Halloween.
To celebrate the mysterious
and frightening unknown
that lurks within us all.
O‐oh, scary!
Now, would you grow up already?
A bunch of people
dressed up like idiots
go door to door
asking for handouts.
What is that?
You on any given day.
‐ Morning, people. ‐ 'Hey.'
Do you have any java?
I am nothin' without
my first cup of coffee.
Yeah, well, you're
nothing with it.
Max, Max, perhaps, you should
go as a lady this Halloween, huh?
Check it out, ya'll.
The dumb waiter is
now fully operational.
‐ Oh, good. ‐ Yes. Okay.
Hmm, that's strange.
'Must be a short in the wiring.'
That was good, man.
That was real good.
‐ I knew it was a joke. ‐ I
think I swallowed my gum.

I don't know why you guys
go through such a fuss?
Not once has a trick‐or‐treater
ever knock on our door.
Oh, ye of little faith.
And height.
Could someone grab a broom
and clear out the old cobwebs
so I could put up
the fake scary ones?
Don't look at me. I
got a deadline to meet.
Maxine?
Oh, come on, look, I
told you not to involve me
in your stupid
Halloween crap, okay?
I eat treat every day,
and no trick can scare me.
‐ No trick? ‐ None.
Now, hand me that
candy bag right over there.
No, we got nothing, but
healthy snacks in this one.
We got shredded
wheat cookie. Oat muffin.
And for the kid in
all of us, fiber bars.
Just what every eight year old
looks forward to on Halloween.
Regularity.
Muffins and fiber bars?
Let me go get some milk.
I know there's got to
be something we can do
to get Max to the
Halloween spirit.
I say we scare the
bejesus out of her.
Yeah! What is bejesus?
I'll tell you later.
But for now, here's
what we're gonna do.
‐ What's the word, Obie? ‐
Uh, oat muffin, my brother?
‐ No.. ‐ Yeah..
Khadijah, you ready to
go to the listening party?
Party?
I'm sorry, baby. I‐I
got to finish this article.
This is the second time you
canceled on me this week.
I‐I.. But you are going with
me to the Halogen Records
Halloween party
tomorrow night, right?
I want to, but I can't.
Look, I know you're busy,
but it's important to me
that you come.
I'll do the toe thing.
Okay.
That's what I thought.
And hey, everyone,
if you don't have plans
why don't you come along?
It is gonna be the bomb.
Sure, you know, you
don't have to ask me twice.
Record execs and
celebrities, I'm there.
And that toe thing
won't be necessary.
Yeah, well, count me out.
I hate Halloween parties.
When I was seven, I went to one.
Bunch of mean kids
brought me to a graveyard
tied me to a tombstone,
and left me there to rot.
Oh, that's terrible.
What happened?
Oh, kid tied at the crypt
next to me worked me free
with his teeth.
Max, could you get
that for me, please?
Right axe, wrong head.
I told you, man, she's
only afraid of garlic
holy water and direct sunlight.
Come on, Khadijah,
we're gonna be late.
Hey, Obie, look, it's Cher.
I'm Cleopatra, you nut.
Sorry, I didn't know they
had polyester on the Nile.
No time for
pleasantries, Synclaire
we got to get this
plan in motion.
What you guys up to?
In the effort to get Max
in to the Halloween spirit
we paid a visit to the best
novelty shop in the city.
The Screamatorium.
Unfortunately, we couldn't get
the one gag we really wanted.
Yeah, it turns out you
need a permit for explosives.
Regine!
This is the first
and the last time
I'll let you go to the
costume store without me.
Little Bo Peep? I'm saying.
What? They told me
it was Patti LaBelle.
Well, it's too late
to change it now.
Look, Scooter needs
us to stop by his house
and pick up a parrot.
Don't ask.
‐ How are we supposed
to get in? ‐ I have a key.
Hmm. He must really trust you.
That's why I'm
leaving you in the car.
I thought I told you
to stay in the car.
Dressed like this?
But how'd you get
past the security guard?
Dressed like this.
Let me find his bird so
we can raise up out of here.
Look, don't touch anything.
"Tito Jackson unplugged."
Nice, Scooter!
'Regine, I told you to sit
your Egyptian ass down.'
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Oh, it talks.
Oh, it talks. Oh, it talks.
Shut up! Who cares, man.
Scooter's getting a fax,
and, and, and if it's urgent
and he misses it, you'll
never forgive yourself.
Regine, I don't like looking
through Scooter's stuff.
Not through, at!
You need to peek this, bo.
Well, you, you, you
kill me being that nosy.
"Dear, Scooter,
thanks for last night.
"I'll never forget it.
See you tonight. Love, Y."
Mm.
So?
So?
Khadijah, you've got to
read between the lines.
"Dear, Scooter."
That means love slave.
"I had a wonderful
time last night.
I'll never forget it."
Translation, you've got
the stamina of a Greek God.
You need help.
Look, just because some
woman sends Scooter a fax
doesn't mean he's
cheating on me.
It doesn't!
I have to go to the bathroom.
My bloomers are
starting to creep me.
Okay, well, you know,
look, he's my friend too
and I don't want
to believe it either
but, uh, if you want me
to ignore it, hey, I will.
You know me, girl. I
am not one to butt in.
Look what I found under the
sink next to the roach motel.
Belongs to a woman
in her mid to late 20s.
‐ Approximately a
135 pounds. ‐ What?
Judging from the
length of the chain
she's about five
feet, seven inches.
He's a dead man.
Dead man! Dead man!
Wow, Cleopatra.
Queen of the Nile.
Khadijah, what a great costume.
‐ Do you have my bird? ‐
Oh, I got your bird, alright.
Ooh, you really told him
with the bird line, Khadijah.
‐ Regine, this is
not the place. ‐ Fine.
Come on, ladies, let's
win this costume contest.
‐ Hey, Mel. ‐ Yes.
Why isn't anybody in costume?
We're donating the money
we were to spend on costumes
to a children's charity.
Didn't you get my message?
Oh, listen, if you
feel uncomfortable
you don't have to stay.
Oh, no, no, no. We
wouldn't dream of leaving.
Yeah, we want to
meet all your friends.
Alright, girl, Ms. Fax has got
to be up in here somewhere.
I'm gonna go sniff her out.
‐ Hey. Hey, ladies. ‐ Hi.
Khadijah, this is Jennifer,
Chelsea and Tammy.
This is my girlfriend, Khadijah.
Terrence, you didn't tell
us you had a girlfriend.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
In fact, they've known each
other since they were babies.
Yes, their, their mothers
even bathed them together.
So, I guess nobody told you
guys about the costume thing, huh?
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I must say, Terrence, you
make a very handsome pirate.
Thank you. You're
looking very lovely yourself.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Alright.
Nice meeting you all.
Excuse me, can I talk to
you for a minute, Terrence?
I hate to drag you away
from your little fan club
but am I interrupting
your flirting?
Flirting?
"I must say, Terrence, you
make a very handsome pirate."
"You're looking
very lovely yourself."
‐ Please. ‐ That
was just small talk.
Okay, so, how come no one
knows you have a girlfriend?
Everybody at Flavor
knows you're my man.
That's 'cause I visit you there.
You've never been to my office.
Well, in fact, where
is my office, Khadijah?
Your office is..
Somewhere in Manhattan.
Now, you just make
sure everybody knows
that I'm your girlfriend.
Excuse me.
Okay, I found 12 women
who smell like this.
So I gotta narrow it down.
Look, Regine, just give it a
rest. I'm not even in the mood.
No, no, no, no,
girl, now come on.
All I gotta do is just get
some writing samples
and then match it to the fax.
Here's a pen.
Yes, I'mma work, I'mma work it.
I don't understand it.
Between the
flashin' pumpkin light
and the pop‐lockin' skeleton
you figured that
the little tykes
would be beatin' our
door down by now.
Well, look at the bright side.
You can always use these
pumpkin cookies as coasters.
What kinda society is it
where little fresh‐faced kid
can't paint
themselves with blood
and wander through the streets?
It's just a shame.
Hey, Max, why don't you have
some of our Halloween trail mix?
A rubber cockroach.
Better keep him
off the plastic fruit.
Dang! What does it
take to scare you, girl?
What are you doing here, Satan?
Just checking on
some of my best work.
And what are you
two supposed to be?
Eh, well, you see, I wanted
to go as Bonnie and Clyde
and she wanted to go as
the bride of Frankenstein
and Frankenstein, so..
So, we're the bride of
Frankenstein and Clyde.
‐ Thought you had a date,
man. ‐ Oh, it's not until midnight.
Oh, that's when today
turns into tomorrow
and you are unemployed
for yet another day. Uh‐hoo.
Can I offer someone
some punch? Uh, Max?
Mmm, thanks.
Alright, who lost their eye?
Got to hand it to you, Max.
You tougher than
tool belt leather.
Oh, hit that.
Damn!
Give it a rest,
Overton. Look at her.
We should be scared.
Synclaire, the
trick‐or‐treaters are here.
The trick‐or‐treaters are here!
Will you get the door? I
got the treats. Go, go, go!
Go, go, go, open,
open, open. Go.
Trick or treat!
Come on in, kids.
Hey, I want you to meet
Khadijah, my girlfriend.
Hey, Jeanine, I'm just dancing
with my girlfriend, Khadijah
over here.
Hey, you! Girlfriend!
Mine! Dancing!
Scooter, you made your point.
No, I just want to
let everyone know
that the babe in the
bloomers is my girl.
My girl! My girl!
I guess you just missed
the funnyman tonight, huh?
Excuse me? Terrence, I have
been lookin' for you all night.
Now we really need to get
together. When can I call you?
Well, why don't
you just fax him?
Pardon me?
I'm sure she has
your fax number.
Everyone has your fax
number. Give her the fax number.
Who are you?
Khadijah. His girlfriend.
She better recognize.
Come here.
Alright, what is up with you?
‐ Don't you work with any men?
‐ What's that supposed to mean?
‐ What's‐‐ ‐ Yo, yo, yo!
Are ya'll talkin' about the fax?
What's with the faxing?
Exhibit A. Can you explain this?
Regine, I'll
handle it from here.
Oh, okay. It's like that? Okay.
But I just want you to know
this is the last
time I dressed up
like Cleopatra and
sniffed strangers for you.
Well, Terrence, can
you explain this fax?
I had dinner with
one of our artists.
Who just had to send
you a little love note?
Ooh, I'm sorry, I forgot
to tell her after dinner.
"Whatever you do, don't fax me."
Do you see amusement on my face?
Look, I'm good company.
If you weren't so busy all
the time, you'd know that.
I've been busy with work.
I don't know what the
hell you've been busy with.
Not exactly your scent.
That's a promotional item
for our new group, Jasmine.
Now, I was gonna give it to you
but it smells like
funky corn chips.
You expect me to believe that?
You don't have to believe that.
There's a whole
banner right behind you.
Oh.
And what were you doing
going through my apartment?
Look, that's not the issue.
‐ Then what is? ‐ 'Uh‐‐'
Khadijah, you don't trust me.
Now why would I give
you keys to my apartment
if I was gonna have other
women going through there?
Because that's what you would
be expectin' me to expect you
to be expectin' of me.
Well, look, with the fax and all
these, the perfume and the women
and Regine buzzin'
all up in my ear
wh‐what was I supposed to think?
Khadijah, you shouldn't have to
think about it. You should know.
You are all the woman I need.
For you to say
somethin' like that
with me lookin' like this.
That's the sweetest
thing I've ever heard.
‐ Let's get out of here.
‐ I'll race you to the car.
Loser towel dries
the winner for a week.
Khadijah, one more thing.
Will you wear the
bonnet tonight?
This Halloween has
been one big bust.
Didn't scare Max. Linus
missed the Great Pumpkin again.
And we're stuck
with all these treats.
Well, candy‐corn, if you
hadn't scared the kids away
maybe they would've
gotten some treats.
Perhaps, funnel cake.
But if we had went to
the Halloween parade
like I suggested, maybe we both
might have had a good time, huh?
Maybe, nut cluster, but we
both decided to stay home
and treat the children.
Oh, corn‐tray, cinnamon crisp..
For it was your idea to
serve the whack snacks.
Those were your idea.
So they were.
I'm sorry.
But let's not waste what little
time we have left on Halloween
so, let's have some fun.
Where's the sunshine, hon?
He he, say please.
Oh, brother.
I got to agree with
you on that one, Max.
‐ I got you now. ‐ Oh, oh, oh!
‐ Bring out the sunshine.
‐ Oh, oh, no, you don't!
‐ Come on. ‐ No, you
don't! No, you don't!
No, no, no! No, no, no!
'Oh, oh, I got you now.'
'Oh, Obie, look out!'
'Obie!'
Oh, my God!
Obie, Obie, are you okay?
He's in shock.
Synclaire, call 911.
Max, get me a
blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
‐ Now! ‐ I'm
getting it! I'm gettin it!
Okay. Okay, the
ambulance is on the way.
Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
Alright, what do
you want me to do?
Come on, man, what
do you want me to do?
I want you to represent me,
'cause I'm gonna sue somebody.
Yes!
I oughta whup your ass.
You should've seen
the look on your face.
You got a
butt‐kicking comin' too.
Ooh, you gonna beat me too, Max?
I only wish that Khadijah
and Regine had been here
to see this.
They'll get a chance to
see it, over and over again
'cause you're on
Obie camera. Gotcha!
Aren't you guys
tired of watching that?
Oh, no. The night is young.
'He's in shock.
Synclaire, call 911.'
'Max, get me a
blanket and a pillow.'
‐ 'Blanket and a pillow.'
‐ Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
I love the way Max runs. Oh.
Oh, Obie, here comes
your part again. Go, go, go.
'I'm gonna need
you to represent me'
'cause I'm gonna sue somebody.'
Yeah.
'Rewind it. Rewind it.'
‐ 'Rewind it..' ‐ Nope. Nope.
Nope, that's it.
Admit it, Max, Obie
almost scared you to death.
No, Regine, you're wrong.
He did scare me to death.
Woo‐hoo.
just love Halloween?
Out of all the pagan holidays,
it's the most Christmas‐sy.
Once again, pumpkin
pie, we are in sync
'cause I too love Halloween.
To celebrate the mysterious
and frightening unknown

O‐oh, scary!
Now, would you grow up already?
A bunch of people

I am nothin' without

Yeah, well, you're
nothing with it.
Max, Max, perhaps, you should
go as a lady this Halloween, huh?
Check it out, ya'll.
The dumb waiter is
now fully operational.
‐ Oh, good. ‐ Yes. Okay.
Hmm, that's strange.
'Must be a short in the wiring.'
That was good, man.
That was real good.
‐ I knew it was a joke. ‐ I
think I swallowed my gum.

Oh, ye of little faith.
And height.
Could someone grab a broom

Don't look at me. I

Maxine?
Oh, come on, look, I

I eat treat every day,

I say we scare the

Yeah! What is bejesus?
I'll tell you later.
But for now, here's
what we're gonna do.
‐ What's the word, Obie? ‐
Uh, oat muffin, my brother?
‐ No.. ‐ Yeah..
Khadijah, you ready to
go to the listening party?
Party?
I'm sorry, baby. I‐I
got to finish this article.
This is the second time you
canceled on me this week.
I‐I.. But you are going with
me to the Halogen Records
Halloween party
tomorrow night, right?
I want to, but I can't.
Look, I know you're busy,
but it's important to me
that you come.
I'll do the toe thing.
Okay.
That's what I thought.
And hey, everyone,
if you don't have plans
why don't you come along?
It is gonna be the bomb.
Sure, you know, you
don't have to ask me twice.
Record execs and
celebrities, I'm there.
And that toe thing
won't be necessary.
Yeah, well, count me out.
I hate Halloween parties.
When I was seven, I went to one.
Bunch of mean kids
brought me to a graveyard
tied me to a tombstone,
and left me there to rot.
Oh, that's terrible.
What happened?
Oh, kid tied at the crypt
next to me worked me free
with his teeth.
Max, could you get
that for me, please?
Right axe, wrong head.
I told you, man, she's
only afraid of garlic
holy water and direct sunlight.
Come on, Khadijah,
we're gonna be late.
Hey, Obie, look, it's Cher.
I'm Cleopatra, you nut.
Sorry, I didn't know they
had polyester on the Nile.
No time for
pleasantries, Synclaire
we got to get this
plan in motion.
What you guys up to?
In the effort to get Max
in to the Halloween spirit
we paid a visit to the best
novelty shop in the city.
The Screamatorium.
Unfortunately, we couldn't get
the one gag we really wanted.
Yeah, it turns out you
need a permit for explosives.
Regine!
This is the first
and the last time
I'll let you go to the
costume store without me.
Little Bo Peep? I'm saying.
What? They told me
it was Patti LaBelle.
Well, it's too late
to change it now.
Look, Scooter needs
us to stop by his house
and pick up a parrot.
Don't ask.
‐ How are we supposed
to get in? ‐ I have a key.
Hmm. He must really trust you.
That's why I'm
leaving you in the car.
I thought I told you
to stay in the car.
Dressed like this?
But how'd you get
past the security guard?
Dressed like this.
Let me find his bird so
we can raise up out of here.
Look, don't touch anything.
"Tito Jackson unplugged."
Nice, Scooter!
'Regine, I told you to sit
your Egyptian ass down.'
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Oh, it talks.
Oh, it talks. Oh, it talks.
Shut up! Who cares, man.
Scooter's getting a fax,
and, and, and if it's urgent
and he misses it, you'll
never forgive yourself.
Regine, I don't like looking
through Scooter's stuff.
Not through, at!
You need to peek this, bo.
Well, you, you, you
kill me being that nosy.
"Dear, Scooter,
thanks for last night.
"I'll never forget it.
See you tonight. Love, Y."
Mm.
So?
So?
Khadijah, you've got to
read between the lines.
"Dear, Scooter."
That means love slave.
"I had a wonderful
time last night.
I'll never forget it."
Translation, you've got
the stamina of a Greek God.
You need help.
Look, just because some
woman sends Scooter a fax
doesn't mean he's
cheating on me.
It doesn't!
I have to go to the bathroom.
My bloomers are
starting to creep me.
Okay, well, you know,
look, he's my friend too
and I don't want
to believe it either
but, uh, if you want me
to ignore it, hey, I will.
You know me, girl. I
am not one to butt in.
Look what I found under the
sink next to the roach motel.
Belongs to a woman
in her mid to late 20s.
‐ Approximately a
135 pounds. ‐ What?
Judging from the
length of the chain
she's about five
feet, seven inches.
He's a dead man.
Dead man! Dead man!
Wow, Cleopatra.
Queen of the Nile.
Khadijah, what a great costume.
‐ Do you have my bird? ‐
Oh, I got your bird, alright.
Ooh, you really told him
with the bird line, Khadijah.
‐ Regine, this is
not the place. ‐ Fine.
Come on, ladies, let's
win this costume contest.
‐ Hey, Mel. ‐ Yes.
Why isn't anybody in costume?
We're donating the money
we were to spend on costumes
to a children's charity.
Didn't you get my message?
Oh, listen, if you
feel uncomfortable
you don't have to stay.
Oh, no, no, no. We
wouldn't dream of leaving.
Yeah, we want to
meet all your friends.
Alright, girl, Ms. Fax has got
to be up in here somewhere.
I'm gonna go sniff her out.
‐ Hey. Hey, ladies. ‐ Hi.
Khadijah, this is Jennifer,
Chelsea and Tammy.
This is my girlfriend, Khadijah.
Terrence, you didn't tell
us you had a girlfriend.
Yes. Yes, yes, yes.
In fact, they've known each

Yes, their, their mothers
even bathed them together.
So, I guess nobody told you

Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I must say, Terrence, you
make a very handsome pirate.
Thank you. You're
looking very lovely yourself.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Alright.
Nice meeting you all.
Excuse me, can I talk to
you for a minute, Terrence?
I hate to drag you away
from your little fan club
but am I interrupting

Flirting?
"I must say, Terrence, you

"You're looking

‐ Please. ‐ That

Okay, so, how come no one
knows you have a girlfriend?
Everybody at Flavor
knows you're my man.
That's 'cause I visit you there.
You've never been to my office.
Well, in fact, where
is my office, Khadijah?
Your office is..
Somewhere in Manhattan.
Now, you just make
sure everybody knows
that I'm your girlfriend.
Excuse me.
Okay, I found 12 women
who smell like this.
So I gotta narrow it down.
Look, Regine, just give it a
rest. I'm not even in the mood.
No, no, no, no,
girl, now come on.
All I gotta do is just get
some writing samples
and then match it to the fax.
Here's a pen.
Yes, I'mma work, I'mma work it.
I don't understand it.
Between the

Hey, Max, why don't you have

A rubber cockroach.
Better keep him
off the plastic fruit.
Dang! What does it
take to scare you, girl?
What are you doing here, Satan?
Just checking on
some of my best work.
And what are you
two supposed to be?
Eh, well, you see, I wanted
to go as Bonnie and Clyde
and she wanted to go as
the bride of Frankenstein
and Frankenstein, so..
So, we're the bride of
Frankenstein and Clyde.
‐ Thought you had a date,
man. ‐ Oh, it's not until midnight.
Oh, that's when today
turns into tomorrow
and you are unemployed
for yet another day. Uh‐hoo.
Can I offer someone
some punch? Uh, Max?
Mmm, thanks.
Alright, who lost their eye?
Got to hand it to you, Max.
You tougher than
tool belt leather.
Oh, hit that.
Damn!
Give it a rest,
Overton. Look at her.
We should be scared.
Synclaire, the
trick‐or‐treaters are here.
The trick‐or‐treaters are here!
Will you get the door? I
got the treats. Go, go, go!
Go, go, go, open,
open, open. Go.
Trick or treat!
Come on in, kids.
Hey, I want you to meet
Khadijah, my girlfriend.
Hey, Jeanine, I'm just dancing
with my girlfriend, Khadijah
over here.
Hey, you! Girlfriend!
Mine! Dancing!
Scooter, you made your point.
No, I just want to
let everyone know
that the babe in the
bloomers is my girl.
My girl! My girl!
I guess you just missed
the funnyman tonight, huh?
Excuse me? Terrence, I have
been lookin' for you all night.
Now we really need to get
together. When can I call you?
Well, why don't
you just fax him?
Pardon me?
I'm sure she has
your fax number.
Everyone has your fax
number. Give her the fax number.
Who are you?
Khadijah. His girlfriend.
She better recognize.
Come here.
Alright, what is up with you?
‐ Don't you work with any men?
‐ What's that supposed to mean?
‐ What's‐‐ ‐ Yo, yo, yo!
Are ya'll talkin' about the fax?
What's with the faxing?
Exhibit A. Can you explain this?
Regine, I'll
handle it from here.
Oh, okay. It's like that? Okay.
But I just want you to know
this is the last
time I dressed up
like Cleopatra and
sniffed strangers for you.
Well, Terrence, can
you explain this fax?
I had dinner with
one of our artists.
Who just had to send
you a little love note?
Ooh, I'm sorry, I forgot
to tell her after dinner.
"Whatever you do, don't fax me."
Do you see amusement on my face?
Look, I'm good company.
If you weren't so busy all
the time, you'd know that.
I've been busy with work.
I don't know what the
hell you've been busy with.
Not exactly your scent.
That's a promotional item
for our new group, Jasmine.
Now, I was gonna give it to you
but it smells like
funky corn chips.
You expect me to believe that?
You don't have to believe that.
There's a whole
banner right behind you.
Oh.
And what were you doing
going through my apartment?
Look, that's not the issue.
‐ Then what is? ‐ 'Uh‐‐'
Khadijah, you don't trust me.
Now why would I give
you keys to my apartment
if I was gonna have other
women going through there?
Because that's what you would
be expectin' me to expect you
to be expectin' of me.
Well, look, with the fax and all
these, the perfume and the women
and Regine buzzin'
all up in my ear
wh‐what was I supposed to think?
Khadijah, you shouldn't have to
think about it. You should know.
You are all the woman I need.
For you to say
somethin' like that
with me lookin' like this.
That's the sweetest
thing I've ever heard.
‐ Let's get out of here.
‐ I'll race you to the car.
Loser towel dries
the winner for a week.
Khadijah, one more thing.
Will you wear the
bonnet tonight?
This Halloween has
been one big bust.
Didn't scare Max. Linus
missed the Great Pumpkin again.
And we're stuck
with all these treats.
Well, candy‐corn, if you
hadn't scared the kids away
maybe they would've
gotten some treats.
Perhaps, funnel cake.
But if we had went to
the Halloween parade
like I suggested, maybe we both
might have had a good time, huh?
Maybe, nut cluster, but we
both decided to stay home
and treat the children.
Oh, corn‐tray, cinnamon crisp..
For it was your idea to
serve the whack snacks.
Those were your idea.
So they were.
I'm sorry.
But let's not waste what little
time we have left on Halloween
so, let's have some fun.
Where's the sunshine, hon?
He he, say please.
Oh, brother.
I got to agree with
you on that one, Max.
‐ I got you now. ‐ Oh, oh, oh!
‐ Bring out the sunshine.
‐ Oh, oh, no, you don't!
‐ Come on. ‐ No, you
don't! No, you don't!
No, no, no! No, no, no!
'Oh, oh, I got you now.'
'Oh, Obie, look out!'
'Obie!'
Oh, my God!
Obie, Obie, are you okay?
He's in shock.
Synclaire, call 911.
Max, get me a
blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
‐ Now! ‐ I'm
getting it! I'm gettin it!
Okay. Okay, the
ambulance is on the way.
Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
Alright, what do
you want me to do?
Come on, man, what
do you want me to do?
I want you to represent me,
'cause I'm gonna sue somebody.
Yes!
I oughta whup your ass.
You should've seen
the look on your face.
You got a
butt‐kicking comin' too.
Ooh, you gonna beat me too, Max?
I only wish that Khadijah
and Regine had been here
to see this.
They'll get a chance to
see it, over and over again
'cause you're on
Obie camera. Gotcha!
Aren't you guys
tired of watching that?
Oh, no. The night is young.
'He's in shock.
Synclaire, call 911.'
'Max, get me a
blanket and a pillow.'
‐ 'Blanket and a pillow.'
‐ Blanket and a pillow.
Blanket and a pillow.
I love the way Max runs. Oh.
Oh, Obie, here comes
your part again. Go, go, go.
'I'm gonna need
you to represent me'
'cause I'm gonna sue somebody.'
Yeah.
'Rewind it. Rewind it.'
‐ 'Rewind it..' ‐ Nope. Nope.
Nope, that's it.
Admit it, Max, Obie
almost scared you to death.
No, Regine, you're wrong.
He did scare me to death.
Woo‐hoo.
