(Scratch groans)

(object clattering)

TOY: Mama.

-(Molly snores)
-Phew.



Scratch, why are you up
so early?

Do you wanna hang out?
I don't need sleep.

I run on the thrill
of friendship!

I can't hang out today.

I have to go
to a scaring seminar.

Ooh! What's that?
Is it fun? It sounds fun!

Nothing mandatory
is ever fun, Molly.

I have to sit through
the same lame presentation

year after year.

If I wasn't already a ghost,

it'd bore me to death.

You'll have to survive
without me for a day, okay?

Wish me luck, kid.

Luck is wished!

Huh, I do not remember
making this mess,

but I sure hope past Molly
had some fun.

(Scratch groans)

Hey there, boos and ghouls!

I'm your instructor, Pango.

ALL: Hi, Pango.

-(sighs)
-PANGO: I hope you're ready

for a lot of fun

and maximizing
your full scare potential.

Let's start with
the S.C.A.R.E. System,

Surprise, Creep, Alarm, Roar,

and Ectoplasm!
Cute, right?

This just started and already
it feels like an eternity.

Geoff!

Oh, am I psyched
to see you, man!

-You are?
-Yeah!

I was thinking
we get out of here.

But this seminar is informative

-and required.
-Pfft! Come on.

It's the same presentation
every year.

Relax. As long as we're back
for the headcount

at the end, we get credit

unless you don't wanna hang out

with your best friend.

Oh. Whoa. I wanna do that
no matter what.

No, no, Libby.
Dental hygiene is important.

Well, you enjoy
your appointment!

Okay. Mom's GigPigging.

Dad's at an emergency
City Council meeting.

Darryl told me not to ask
where he is today.

So I'm on my own, I guess.

That's fine.
I can be alone.

Right, Twinklespot?

Right, Molly!

So what should we do today?

You could reorganize us.

I'm tired of sitting next
to Baby Jessie.

(suspenseful music playing)

Yeah. Good idea.

Maybe she goes
in the donation bag.

Okay. Let's organize you
all by cuddlocity!

First, the most huggable,
then the most fluffy.

Huh, perfect!

Now next step on my alone day...

uh, what was that?

(eerie music playing)

Boo! (laughs)

See, now what works
about a jump scare is

the surprise, right?

Gelatin Geoff, yay,
you are one handsome fella!

SCRATCH: And so afterlife-like,

Pango will never know
the difference.

Geoff, what are you doing?

Eyes front, please!

I knew someday googly eyes

would be my downfall.

PANGO: There we go.
That's better.

Ooh, love to see
a "listening face!"

Now let's move on, shall we?

(chuckles) We did it, buddy!

Those gelatin imposters
should keep for hours,

which means, it's time
for the greatest day of your

or my entire existence,

even though for me
it's probably much higher bar!

(eerie music playing)

(sighs)

Guess my eyes were playing
tricks on me.

(screams)

Twinklespot! I'm sorry!
It was a reflex!

You kicked me in the face.

I already said I'm sorry.
Okay. Let it go.

Aah! Heidi Hairylegs!

Oh, corn.

SCRATCH:
Ah, I love aromascarapy.

I can already just feel
my stress melting away.

This is way better
than being at that dumb seminar.

-Am I right, Geoff?
-Sure is!

I can't believe
I even considered

-staying to learn stuff!
-You know, I would love

if you could just get
a little more in my lower back.

Right there, that's it.
Thank you.

This is my worst nightmare.

I'm trapped
with Darryl's pet spider.

And I have to face it

-alone!
-Alone?

Sorry, sorry.
Not alone, alone

but we can both agree that
you're not really contributing

anything major
to this situation, right?

Okay.

I am a strong,
independent woman.

I can handle this!

All right, Heidi.

You might think
you have the upper hand,

but you underestimate
the McGee nerves of steel.

(screaming)

(upbeat music playing)

SINGER: ♪ Playing hooky, hooky,
feel the groove ♪

♪ Playing hooky
(indistinct) moves ♪

♪ Playing hooky, hooky ♪

What'd I tell you, buddy?

BOTH: Best skip day ever.

SINGER: ♪ Singing songs,
eating food ♪

♪ Getting bounced
for being rude ♪

♪ Playing hooky ♪

MOLLY: Darryl!
You have to come home right now!

Your tarantula is in my room!

DARRYL (over phone): Kind of
in the middle of something!

Leave Heidi Hairylegs alone.
She is about to have babies!

Uh, babies?
As in more than one?

-DARRYL (over phone): Hundreds.
-Hundreds?

DARRYL (over phone):
I don't know, maybe thousands.

A thousand baby tarantulas?

Now that's what we call
"Escalation."

Oh, a human thinks
they're scared already?

Do they?
We'll make it worse!

Dive into that fear
like a freshwater pond!

See? We totally got away
with it!

Also, I was delicious.

You have the best ideas,
Scratch.

Who knew breaking the rules
could have no consequences?

Now, we normally do attendance
headcount at the end.

But, guys,
this year we're gonna do things

-a little bit differently.
-What?

-Did she just say differently?
-That's right.

Get excited because you're all
going to demonstrate

what you just learned for
our very special ghost guest,

the Chairman!

(screams)

MOLLY: Hey, Heidi.

Wouldn't you like a nice ride
to the, uh...

tarantula hospital
so you can lay those eggs?

There you go! That's right!

I did it! I caught her!

Okay. Just gonna get you back
to your cage, Heidi.

Real easy like,
then you can have your...

(gulps) thousands of babies.

Have you thought of names
or you're just gonna

call them all Jim
or something or...

(screaming)

Ugh.

(screaming)

Oh, no, no, no, no.
(groaning)

Where are you?

Oh, corn. Oh, corn. Oh, corn.
She's loose!

She's having
lots of spider babies

all over the house.

Nowhere is safe.

Well, you tried
but you just didn't pay

enough attention to my seminar!

Oh. It hurts, doesn't it?

Enjoy the Flow
of Failed Phantoms!

Geoff? You're up next!

No. I'm not prepared.

Hey, hey. Any way I can look
at your notes for a minute?

I just wanna make sure
you got everything down,

you're not missing anything.

Okay. Here we go.

Demonstrate
the Kloster-Iron roar.

Okay. Well, at least
Geoff and I will be

in the Flow of Failed
Phantoms together.

(Geoff roaring)

Huh. Very impressive, Geoff!

Someone had their listening
ears on today, didn't they?

Geoff, how did you pull
that off?

It's the same seminar
every year!

Plus, I'm pretty good
at scaring.

Scratch, will you demonstrate
a Rip-Dash scare?

Well, you're asking
the guy to ask.

I mean, 'cause I--we all know
I have definitely been

at the seminar all day
and every single year!

So here we go. (clears throat)

Look out. About to start.

Take notes.
School is in session, folks.

(clears throat)

(screaming)

Squeezing myself.

Okay. Enough with the warm-ups.

And now, let's get
to old Rip-Dash scare.

(groans)

Was that right-ish?

Wow. Okay.

Clearly, you didn't
pay attention to the seminar

which hurts
because I worked really hard

to make it both entertaining
and informative.

Into the Flow you go.

(suspenseful music playing)

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Please.

Hey, you can't send
my best buddy to the Flow!

Sure, he failed
his Scare Test miserably.

Yeah. I mean, I wouldn't say
miserably but yeah.

But he's got this
whole other way

of interacting with humans!

It's groundbreaking!
Innovative!

Uh, Geoff, buddy.
They don't need to hear

about how I'm changing
the entire game.

You know, I'll just--I'll just
take the test

-again next year and--
-Actually, you know,

I would like to see
the results from this,

this special method.

Wouldn't you, Mr. Chairman?

(suspenseful music playing)

Today? Oh, wow.

It's still kind
of a work-in-progress,

needs a little
finishing touches.

It needs a little polish.

MOLLY: Why did you leave me
like this, Scratch?

What was that?
My nightmares are everywhere!

My life is agony!

Wow. You pass.

Clearly, we've all got something
to learn from you.

(suspenseful music playing)

(bell dings)

Yeah! Yeah! Well, you know me,

finding new ways
to scare and whatnot.

Hey, maybe next year
I'll teach the seminar!

You know, just kidding
'cause who could--

who could do it better than you?

I'm gonna go.

Molly! Are you okay?

Oh, yeah, totally fine.

Okay. Well, good! All right.

Well, I for one am beat.
I'm gonna go hit the hay.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Scratch, don't go in there.

It belongs to the spiders now.

SINGER: ♪ The Ghost
and Molly McGee ♪

(classical music playing)

PATTY: My best friend Linda
and I founded

the Brighton Skybirds.

We mastered the beautiful
yet deadly art of capoeira.

And briefly became
a semi-famous storm chaser.

-And that was just 1962.
-Wow!

I guess I just assumed
Patty was always old.

Your life was
so full of adventure!

Diems carped! Horns grabbed!

Yo's, lo'ed?

Yeah, none of those work.

That's because I live
by a simple motto,

no regerts.

I know I misspelled "regrets,"

but I wasn't about to unpick
all that thread.

Though between you and I
and the cross-stitch,

I do have one regert.

Goes by the name Bobby Daniels.

SINGER: ♪ With the bad boy bikr
I fell in love ♪

♪ Her heart,
her heart was aloft ♪

♪ His black leather jacket
fit like a glove ♪

♪ His (indistinct)
was perfectly coiffed ♪

♪ They told me
he would make me sad ♪

♪ But I was already in love
like mad with the bad boy ♪

♪ The bad boy of Brighton ♪

Thank you.

SINGER:
♪ Though he acted tough ♪

♪ Deep down he was sweet ♪

♪ So sweet,
deep down he was sweet ♪

♪ Like, when he helped
the three-legged dog ♪

♪ Crossing the street ♪

-(horn honks)
-He's going as fast as he can.

SINGER: ♪ He swore
that we would last forever ♪

♪ That we would run away
together ♪

♪ But he left me home ♪

♪ The bad boy of Brighton ♪

(motorcycle engine revs)

SINGER: ♪ My only regert ♪

♪ The bad boy of Brighton ♪

Bobby and I were gonna travel
the world.

But he left without me
and I never found out why.

Big mistake, Patty Cake.
This Bobby guy sounds amazing!

Shake a tail feather, Patty.

We're gonna be late
for seniors hip-hop.

Oh, my goodness, Linda.
I completely forgot.

Thanks for coming by, Molly.

(Scratch groans)

MOLLY: I hate that Patty regerts
not taking a chance on love.

She was so sad
thinking about Bobby Daniels.

Yeah. I'd be sad too.

He was probably
the last cool person

-to live in this town!
-(gasps)

Wait a minute, that's it.

What if we brought Bobby
back to Brighton?

-I'm listening.
-And reunited him and Patty,

give them the happy ending
they deserve?

Maybe Bobby would let me ride
his motorcycle.

And I can get my own leather
jacket, quaff my ectoplasm.

Next thing you know,
we're blood brothers

in a ride-or-die biker crew!

Problem is Bobby could be
anywhere.

You know,
a lawless rebel like him

-will be impossible--
-Found him online!

-Seems fast.
-He's just one town over,

in Mewline! Come on!

Oh, not Mewline,

the toilet cake capital
of the world.

Okay. According to his profile,

Bobby checks in
at the library a lot.

Oh, the Mewline Library.

They have a legendary zoning
regulation section!

I'm gonna go over there
right now.

Am I cool because I have
a library card or what?

I'm not gonna dignify that
with an answer.

Let's just move on.

All right. Our bad boy's
gotta be around here somewhere.

(gasps, squeals)

We're free.

Excuse me, do you happen to know
Bobby Daniels?

You could say I do.

Great! Where is he?

Right in front of you!
I'm Bobby Daniels!

-I'm sorry?
-Wait a minute!

This can't be him.
This guy is--

this guy is made of cardigan!

He's wearing bulk shoes.

Where's the leather jacket?

The cool hog?

The flagrant disregard
for authority?

(gasps) He is authority!

This is you,

The Bad Boy of Brighton?

I looked good in leather,
didn't I?

But no, that's all
in the past now

filed in the Young Adult
section of my life.

Woof. This is why you should
never meet your heroes.

So what can I do for ya?

Well, sir, you can tell

why you never came back
for Patty,

the love of your life!

Patty?

Oh, it's been a long time
since I heard that name.

Does she still smell
like cinnamon and gasoline?

She's only gotten better
with age!

Are you into floppy skin?

Come on, let's get you two
lovebirds back together!

-Nah. Patty loved the bad boy.
-We all did, pal!

I couldn't bear her
disappointment.

Well, she doesn't
have to be disappointed

'cause we're gonna bring
the bad boy back!

SINGER: ♪ The Bad Boy of
Brighton will ride once again ♪

♪ He's riding,
he's riding again ♪

♪ His clothes may be tighter
but they'll jam him in ♪

Let's get those in.

SINGER: ♪ There's a rebel fire
burning in his heart again ♪

♪ Say goodbye to pleated khakis
and cardigans ♪

♪ They're bringing back
the Bad Boy of Brighton ♪

(explosion)

Okay. So bringing back
the Bad Boy of Brighton was

harder than I thought
it would be.

Oh. I'm sorry, Molly.

I told you, I'm not the man
I used to be.

I can't face her like this.

I guess it's hopeless.
Love is lost.

(dramatic music playing)

LINDA: Get your mind
off that man

and back in the game, Patty,

unless you want me
to finally beat you.

Oh, Linda, you scoundrel!

You haven't beaten me
in 72 years!

She lost the love of her life,

but at least she had
a steadfast best friend.

Yeah. But, you know,
she doesn't ride a hog.

-So it's not really the same.
-BOBBY: Hello?

I have an urgent inter-town
loan request

from a Thisissa Realname?

Dadgumit! Those pranksters
got me again!

Bobby?

(dramatic music playing)

-What--what's happening?
-Pfft.

Did you really think
I was gonna give up that easily?

Please.

-Bobby?
-Patty?

The flame of love is alight.

You're squeezing my hand.

(jazz music playing)

The Bad Boy of Brighton is back.

-Oh, yeah!
-That's right!

You didn't need
your awesome leather jacket,

your cool sunglasses,
your perfectly coiffed hair!

All you needed was love!

The bad boy was inside you
all along!

Yes.

-Yes.
-Ow, ow, ow.

Wait a minute!

You can't just waltz back
into my life

like nothing happened!

We were supposed to travel
the world together!

Why did you leave me behind?

What do you mean?
You told me to go without you,

-that we were through.
-What?

I carry your note
with me everywhere,

hoping I'd understand
why you ended things.

"Bobby, I regret to inform you

that I will not be coming
with you."

Well, I didn't write this!

It says "regrets."

-I only say "regerts."
-Wait. But then who--

(suspenseful music playing)

No.

I can't watch him
ride away again.

Wow. A mysterious kidnapper,
a motorcycle chase?

Molly, this plan is turning out
better than expected.

Well, if we wanna see
how it ends, we better hurry up.

We're coming, Bobby.

(suspenseful music playing)

(motorcycle engine revving)

MOLLY: She's got a head start!

I don't know
if we can catch up to--

okay. Never mind.

Seemed like she was moving
way faster.

You know, it really did.

PATTY: Oh, come on!

No! They're getting away!

Dang scooter's
got no horsepower!

Scratch?
You wanted to ride a hog.

How about being one?

Don't know about horsepower,

but ghostpower, that I can do!

(motorcycle engine revving)

PATTY: Hey!
That's what I'm talking about!

(engine shuts down)

(engine revving)

I don't know who you are,
but I ain't losing Bobby again.

Now prepare to face
the beautiful pain of capoeira.

Patty, you came after me.

I should have done it years ago.

Now for you--

(gasps) Linda, it was you?

But you're Patty's best friend.

(gasps) The ultimate betrayal.

Yes. I sent Bobby that note

and I tried to run him
out of town today

so you'd never find out.

But why?

Yeah. What did I ever do to you?

You were gonna take
my best friend away,

leaving me here alone.

I knew it was wrong
but I was young and afraid.

I should have told you, Patty.

It's been
my one lifelong regret.

Wait. You know
I don't do regrets or regerts.

And I'm not about to throw away
70 years of friendship.

But I ain't ready
to make nice yet either!

Go home. We'll have words later.

Hey, just quick thing.

If you ever sabotage
my love life,

you're gonna find yourself
in the after-afterlife.

-Okay?
-Yup, message received.

Now, that's true love.

Yeah. Yeah. I guess
that's nice or whatever.

-Scratch, are you crying?
-What? No.

It happens to be ragweed season.

Can we please just wait
until they're out of earshot?

Man, those scooters go slow.

MOLLY: Yes. It's taking a while.

SCRATCH: It's almost going
backwards. It's so slow.

MOLLY: Oh, yup. It's just--it
stopped now. Okay.

Wait. Yeah. We're--we can help.
We're coming.
