Molly insists on training an unruly goat the Molly way. When the McGees celebrate a Thai holiday about feeding hungry ghosts, Scratch tries to keep the feast all to himself.

[Scratch]
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

-♪ I can't believe
You're all mine ♪
-Uh, what?

- ♪ You and me for all time ♪
-Ugh!

- ♪ I'm never, ever, ever
Gonna be alone again ♪
-Oh, boy.

-♪ The dream team
You and me ♪
-For all eternity?!

- ♪ For all eternity! ♪
-Ahh!

♪ It's a ghost, it's a ghost
And Molly McGee ♪

♪ I've been cursed
It's the worst ♪

♪ Now you're stuck with me ♪

♪ We're never gonna be apart ♪

- ♪ Is there a way
To hit restart? ♪
-Nope.



♪ We're the ghost
Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

-That's me!
-Well, that's she.

-[chorus] Ooh!
- ♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

Ah, the County Fair.

My favorite time of the year.

The sights...

[breathes in] The smells.

The fried foods!

Especially the ones
from Turkey Tina's Gobble Hut!

That lady will fry anything.
And I mean anything!

I now pronounce you
good and fried!

Ah. I think I'm in love.

However,
since my spectral circumstances

prevent me from directly
bringing her anything to fry,



I need a living person
to do my bidding!

So, which one of you meat-sacks
wants to volunteer?

Sorry, Scratch.
But we're not here for Tina.

-Yeah. We're here for--
-3A Club!

Come to order!
3A stands for three things:

Animals, Agriculture,
and America.

But not Attitude.
We don't need that A.

You can leave that A at home.

[chuckles] Sorry,
we're kind of a package deal.

First up: Animals.

-[bleating]
-[girls gasp]

Libby! Fuzzy new besties!

I am so glad
we joined this club!

I now pronounce you
Totes the Goat.

You're gonna be
my best goat friend.

And you'll come
to my birthday party,
and I'll come to yours,

and we'll wear
the same ribbons in our hairs,

-[Mr. Bates] All halt!
-Don't need to bring gifts.

-I said all halt!
-I'll happily accept cuddles--

-You'll be showing these goats
later this week in the big ring.
-[bleats]

Do not be fooled
by their cute eyes
and adorable fluffy tails!

Goat training
is serious business.

You gotta be firm,
or these goats'll walk
all over you.

[Libby]
It's fine. This is fine.

Watch as I demonstrate
the correct method.

Command, Click, Reward.

-Heel!
-[bleats]

-[click]
-[crunches]

Mmm. That could be useful.

Oink... [chuckles]

-[bleating]
-OK, Totes.
Let's get you trained!

Command, Click, Reward. Hah!

OK. Heel.

OK, that's the command, Totes.

It's human speak
for "walk by my side."

Heel.

Wh-- Come on, Totes. Heel!

Do this and you get a treat!

You likes treats,
don't you? Heel.

Pfff. Okay...
How about we switch it up?

What if we started
with the treat? Huh?

[bleats and chews]

Ha! Command, Reward, Click!

I've trained him! Whoo-hoo!

Yes, you've trained him...

to be bribed.

Excuse me,
that's a cynical spin.

But chokingly accurate.

Well, Scratch,
it's hard to be firm
with someone so cute.

-[door opens]
-[Mom] Tell me about it.

You were the most adorable
baby we'd ever seen.

Imagine saying "no"
to that face.

We did. And we've got
the battle scars to prove it.

Being firm is hard, Molly,

but it leads to healthier,
happier kids.

Whether they're people or goats.

Well... Sure, okay...

But maybe nobody is
considering the possibility

that I've created
a paradigm shift
in how one trains.

I call it... [clears throat]
"The Molly Method."

-[bleats]
-Uh? Another treat?

But you haven't done anything!

And, according
to the Molly Method,
you shouldn't have to.

OK, last one.
OK, very, very last one.

OK, very, very, very last one.

This is going
to lead to disaster.

-No, it won't.
-Oh, yeah, it will.
But you know what?

You go ahead and do you, Molly.

Got my own problems
to solve.

OK, very, very,
very, very last one.

And I think I know
just how to solve them.

[gasps]

Scratch? You scared me.

Sandwich! Now!

Uh... Okay.

-[click]
-What's that noise?

And why do you have
such an air of authority
all of a sudden?

[chuckles] It's the hair,
I'm trying something new.

Ooh, cracker! I love these.

[munches] So cheesy!

-Do you have any more?
-Yes! Good Dad... [click]

[bleats]

C'mon, Totes!
We gotta get to the fair

and show everyone
what you can do!

And stop eating the house!

[munches and bleats]

[groans]

Hurry up, Molly!
It's the last day of the Fair!

Fry oil's a-wasting! [whistles]

[crash] Hi, Scratch!
Are you happy to see me?

-I'm happy to see you!
-Oh, yes, I am!

Who wants to go
for a drive, huh?

Oh boy, I do! I do!

I love car rides!
I love car rides!

-[click]
-[munches]

Did you... train Dad?

Oh, c'mon. That's ridiculous!

He just likes being a Good Dad!

Now get that goat
in the trailer,

I'm hungry, let's roll!

[bleats]

[gaps and whispers]
He's asleep! Good Totes!

Scratch, would you floaty
floaty him?

Yeah, I don't know, Molly.

Feels like if I help you,

you won't really learn
your lesson.

Okay, fine.
I'll do it. Whatever.

Get me
to the fried foods already.

Heel... heel... Stop!

Atta Dad! [click]

What can I fry for ya?

Uh... Everything!

OK now...
Give it to the nice lady.

Aren't you an overachiever?

I'm a Very Good Dad!

Uh-huh... I'm sure you are.

Oh. It's like a symphony sung
by a thousand greasy angels.

You know, you hear about stuff,
but when you actually see it...

Oh man.

[Molly grunts]

Huh. Goats, Am I right?

So cute, but what a handful.

Billie was a dream to train.

OK, Sheela, no need to brag!

I bet Libby knows what I mean,
right Lib?

Oh yeah. Training was
really hard at first.

Being assertive makes me sweaty.

[firm] Ronnie! Heel!

-[bleats]
-[click]

Good boy!

But ultimately it's
what's best for the goat.

Wh-- Am I the only one
who had problems?

Did you follow
Mr. Bates's CCR method?

Command, Click, Reward?

Mmm... Well...

I may have rearranged it
a tiny bit.

But in my defense, wook at him!

The fuzzy wuzzy tail,
those big, adorable eyes,

-those tippy-tappy hooves!
-[bleats]

OK, so he's not looking
super adorable
right at the moment.

But I promise he's
the happiest goat here!

[Mr. Bates on loudspeaker]
3A Club, report to the arena.

Hey. Good luck, Molly.

Okay. Come on, Totes.

Into the arena, buddy!

Let's go. Gotta go.

Aaah! [groans]

[moans]

OK, just gonna make
the best of this.

OK, just let that food coma
wash right over ya.

♪ Hush, little Totes-y
Don't wake up ♪

♪ Can't cause trouble
when you're asleep ♪

-[sniffs, then bleats]
-[gasps]

No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no!

-Good Dad! Very good Dad!
-[click]

Hello, gorgeous.

Oh, don't do it, Totes.

Please! We're so close.

[crack knuckles]
Come to papa...

Totes! Focus!

[bleats]

[Scratch]
No, no, no, no!

I'm gonna enjoy every last
little fried drop of you.

Noooo!

[kiss, kiss]

Okay, who's next?

[Molly screams]

-[Scratch] Huh?
-[Molly] Whoa!

[screams]

[screaming and crying]
Nooo!

Anyone else know you could get
banned from the fair?

[burps]

This is all that's left
of my delicious custom creation.

I bet it was delicious!

-[cries]
-[Totes bleats]

Apology not accepted!

I blame you for this. [cries]

Okay... Um...

I see now that giving Totes
everything he wanted
was a bad idea.

-[metal crashing]
-Totes!

[firm] Drop it!

[firm] Drop it!

[bleats]

So, uh, what are we going
to do about Totes?

He's eating us out of house
and home. Literally.

Yeah. I mean, that's my thing.

[unintelligible moaning]

Well, Totes is gonna need
lots of grass and exercise...

[bleats and munches]

He'll be in shape in no time.

Plus, the City saves money
on landscaping.

Good Totes! Eat your veggies!

-[click]
-[stomach growls]

That's weird.
Why do I suddenly
crave a cracker?

Uh, no reason!

♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

Yeah!

Oh Nin, I love it
when you visit!

Since Sharon and Peter are
having fun this weekend,
we can too!

I bet Mom and Dad
are having a great time.

Just the two of them,
camping in the woods.

[Dad screaming, Mom shooshing]

[sniffing] Whoa.
Breakfast in buffet form.

Smorgasbord for one!

Uh-Uh-Uh.
That's for Sart Duan Sib.

Is that Thai for "my mouth"?

It's a Thai festival
where we honor our ancestors
and other hungry spirits

with extra super yummy
food offerings!

A holiday about honoring ghosts

and feeding me? Ahh!

You wait. The feast is tonight.

And to prepare, I need
my best kitchen helpers.

Best? You're obviously
talking about me.

Though I understand
you can't say that due to
[ahem] familial obligations.

[long gasp]

If this is about that one time

I used salt in the sticky rice,
I was five!

Do sibling rivalry
when you're off the clock.

-There's work to be done!
-Grandma's right, guys.

You're forgetting
the spirit of the holiday.

which is serving tons
of delicious food
to me, me, and only me!

Oh no, Scratch.
This holiday is about giving.

You must invite
your ghost friends.

They're hungry too.

Oh, no can do, Grandma.

You see, I have no friends.

Scratch, you have friends.
What about Geoff?

Hm, Geoff? I can't quite
place the name.

-You know, G-E-O--
-OK, geez!

He's got you doing
the spelling thing too, huh?

Fine. I'll invite Geoff.
Will that make you all happy?

-Very.
-Great.

[gasps] Dinner at your place?

Oh boy, I can feel us
growing closer right now!

Can you feel it?
I feel it. I feel it a lot!

Uh-huh, yeah. Grow close.

By the way, you don't do spicy,
right, Geoff?

Oh, no, not at all.

My delicate constitution
can't handle it.

Literally starts
a fire in here. [giggles]

Ooh, OK. Friend to friend,
it's a Thai food festival.

So the food tends to be,
you know, spicy.

Just pop by, say hello,

Take a couple plain rice to go.

Deal! Whoo-hoo! Rice!

OK, Geoff, OK.
But, most importantly,

whatever you do,
don't. tell. nobody.

Now pinch the dumplings
into a tiny pouch like this.

-Easy.
-Got it.

[gasps] Done!

Ah, what a beautiful dumpling.

Perfect pleating!

But we need fifty more!

Huh. Like this?

That is the quantity we need!

But the quality...

-Uh-uh.
-[holds laugh]

Geoff must be stuck at traffic.

I should start without him.
I know he'd wanted that way.

No! It is rude to eat
before your guests.

-We wait.
-All right

But if I starve to death...
That's on you.

Stop being dramatic.
You're already dead!

-Hey! Scratch!
-Yes! Geoff!

Perfect timing for once!

Here you go, buddy.
Have yourself a plate.

Ah, there you go,
down the hatch,
that's the stuff.

OK. The guest has eaten.
That box is checked.

My turn!

What? What you--
No. This isn't a--

Hey, Scritch, capitol party!

-Thanks for the invite.
-Geoff!

I thought we agreed
you wouldn't tell nobody.

And I didn't tell nobody.

Which, as a double negative,
cancels itself.

So I told everybody!

That's not what I--
Why would I--

Aaaah!

Excuse me, pardon me.

Hey, out of my way!
This is my special feast!

The pancakes are mine!

The dinner rush is here.
Time to pick up the pace!

Just know
that whatever happens next,

I still love you both very much.

[evil cackle]

[they gasp]

Ahhhhhh!

Faster! We have
hungry ghosts out there!

I'm going as fast as I can!

Not fast enough!

That all you got, chef boy?

These things are too delicate!

You're too delicate!

-[they laugh]

These are to die for!

It's OK, babies. It's OK.

I'm here now.
No one's gonna eat you...

But me!

Oh, no, no, no, not now!

[Scratch screaming]

Scratch, I'm sure you know
why you are here.

A certain inconsistency
in your Scare Report...

Or as you have written,
your "Scar Report"?

[laughter]

-He forgot the "y".
-[they laugh]

Phew! So glad you caught that.

OK, now I'm not gonna waste
any more of your precious times,

so I'm just gonna--
See ya. Thank you!

Wait! What are you
attempting to hide
behind your back, Scratch?

Nothing! Just a little snack.
You know Scratch,

always eating
some kind of garbage...
[chuckles]

Yes. But this doesn't appear
to be the usual refuse
you shove down your gullet.

Yeah OK. Look,
I got these humans so scared,

that they threw me my own feast.

A Sart Duan Sib .

-A feast, you say?
-Well, it is Sart Duan Sib .

-Very well,
we shall deign to attend.
-Oh...

OK see, that wasn't
an invita-- OK!

[chatter]

[wind blows]

[thunders]

Th-the Chairman?

I didn't know he was invited.

Yeah, I think I left
the wood stove on...

And look at the time.
I mean, it's...
It's "time to go" o'clock!

Uh, you guys really
clear a room, don't you?

Humans?
We demand our offering now!

Yeah, humans! The offering!

You called?
What can I do for ya, buddy?

I'm sorry, I thought you claimed
these humans were afraid of you.

Are you indeed
this human's... "buddy"?

Oh yeah, he's my best friend.

-He's--
-No, I am not.

She does my bidding
and she calls me "Biddy".

-[Molly] What?
-[Scratch] Just trip's form,
you can't hear that well.

They're both real words.
Anyway... You know what?
Enough talk.

Lemme just scare up
those offerings for ya.

Act scared and get inside.

-[scary noises]
-Oh no!

-A ghost!
-Rawr!

I got her on the run.

[sighs] That was close.

Also, your acting?
A little over the top.

Well, I didn't have
time to inhabit
the character, Scratch!

-Who are those guys?
-The Ghost Council!

The biggest, baddest,
most bureaucratic ghosts of all!

We gotta get them outta here
before they figure out
the truth about us.

Aww, does little Scratchy
wanna keep up the grumpy
Ghost World reputation?

Molly, this is serious.

If they find out
I'm friends with a human,

they're gonna take me
away from you.

-Forever!
-[gasps] Forever?

Board up the windows
and prepare to fight!

I won't lose my best friend!

I'll barricade the door.

[struggles]

I've got it! [grunts]

[groans] Is this thing
bolted to the floor?

Why don't we just feed them?

They are here for food.
I mean...

The faster we get it to them,
the sooner they'll leave.

You want food fast? I'm on it!

-No, I'm on it!
-Perhaps if you worked
with each other,

you could do twice as much work.

-For the greater good?
-It's the only way.

-Mmmm!
-Mmm, delicious.

He, uh... He gonna eat anything
or just stand there all creepy?

[shivers] Hi...

Mmmm... Most satisfying.

You have risen
in our esteem, Scratch.

Unless you intend to scar us
with your poor spelling again.

[they all laugh]

Spell check!

-[phew]
-Well, that's over. I'm wiped.

Yeah, I'm wiped,
and I haven't had
a single bite all day!

If I hadn't been selfish
and shared the meal with Geoff,

there would've been
enough food for both of us.

Now everything's gonna be cold.
Ah, whatever. Better than--

Better than... nothing?!

[crying]
They took it all!

Nooo! This is the worst tragedy

that has ever befallen a ghost!

[cries]
Afterlife is so unfair!

-We could order a pizza.
-Pineapple?
