The Ghost and Molly McGee (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - A Doll to Die For/The (After)life of the Party - full transcript

Now, Geoff, I recommend
at least one balloon per guest.

But I'll let you in on a secret.

You can't have
too many balloons.

Doot!

This is top-notch stuff, Molly.

(chuckles) Yeah, I know.

- (yawns)
- Scratch!

You ready for the big day?

Is it Fajita Friday already?

Ha! You're messing with me.

Tonight's my big party.



Oh. Right.

I totally remembered that.

Wouldn't be the same
without my BFF, huh?

(laughs)

Got a space saved for you
on the dance floor.

Okay, see you tonight.

(mumbles)
Yeah...

Oh, I'm so jealous
you get to go.

I want all the deets.
Oh! You should take notes.

Let me get you a notepad
that doubles as a party hat

so you don't look
too obvious.

Okay. It is definitely
too early for this.

I need a pick-me-up.

Oh.



(indistinct chattering)

- The chairman!
- After you, Sir.

- Please go ahead.
- Oh. Why, thanks.

Well, don't mind if I do.

Oh. Sorry.

Looks like someone else
is a fan

of the cookie frightaccino
with extra whipped screams.

(shrieks)

Mr. Chairman, Sir,
take this one.

It's extra cookies.
On the house.

Thanks. Man, being chairman
has some perks, huh?

I don't think
we've officially met.

I'm Jeff, with a J.

You coming to the big party
tonight at the Haughty Haunts?

Everyone who's anyone
will be there.

The best of the best.

(echoing)
The best of the best.

An exclusive party,
and you're inviting me?

I mean, uh, yeah,
of course you would, obviously.

I'm the chairman now.
I will be there.

Terrific. See you tonight.

Yeah.

Did he say tonight?

Yeah, my big party
is tonight.

And I want your stand to be
the first thing Scratch sees.

(laughs) Oh!

Here he comes. Hide.

I want it to be a surprise.

- Hey!
- (coughs)

What's up, buddy?

Nothing churro-related
to see here.

Yeah, about your party.

Maybe you should do it
another night.

You know, on Friday
everyone's tired from work,

so you get there late.

But you also kind of want
to leave early,

which is really awkward
for the host.

I see what's going on here.

Uh, you do?

You're nervous about the party.

You know,
because everyone thinks

you're grumpy
and unpleasant.

- Oh.
- You don't need to worry,

because friends stick together.

Great.

- Moll! I need your advice.
- Ah!

(gasps)

Do you know how long

I've been waiting
for you to say those words?

Hit me with anything!

Okay, so I have this,
uh, friend,

and this friend has two parties
to go to on the same night.

The first one
is gonna be spectacular.

Exclusive venue,
lots of important guests.

The kind this friend of mine
was never invited to before.

- Aw!
- But if I--

Uh, my friend doesn't go
to the other party,

the host's feelings
could get hurt.

Easy peasy McGeesy.

Your friend should go
to whichever event

they committed to first.

But what if they really,

really want to go
to the other thing

without hurting
their friend's feelings?

Well, the book says
the only acceptable excuse

is being sick...

Fake sick, huh?

That's interesting.

Nobody said fake.
Don't purposefully misinterpret

the wisdom
of the Friendship Handbook.

Scratch!

Hope you put on
your dancing shoes.

(chuckles)
And dancing legs.

- (groans)
- (gasps)

You're the friend!

How did I not see this?

God! Shh! Shh! Shh!

Geoff!

(coughing and sobbing)

I'm so sorry.

I can't make it
to your party.

I'm... I'm sick.

(sneezes)

Ghost-undheit, Scratch.

Oh, I really wanted you
to be there,

but the most important thing
is you get better.

Mwah.

(groans)

You used my advice
against sweet, sweet Geoff?

First of all,
there's never "a friend."

You should know this by now.

Second, Geoff's never
gonna find out,

because you wouldn't tell him

and hurt his feelings,
now would you, Miss McGee?

It's a friendship paradox!

Oh! Fine!

But I am doing this for Geoff,
not for you!

But you're still doing it, right?

Yes.

Don't wait up.

(dance music blaring)

Scratch!

You made it.

Okay, so, dance floor there.

Never-ending buffet there.

And that is also the buffet
over there.

I'm sure you know Cleopatra,
Abe Lincoln, Brian.

Hey.

Oh, and there's Jinx.

Jinx! Meet the chairman.

- Jinx?
- Oh, we've met, actually.

Sorry about that whole
"hunting your friend" thing.

You weren't the chairman then.

But, uh, now you are, so--

Oh, you been working out?

Hitting the gym, big guy?

Well, I consider my body
a temple--

Ooh! Is that room-temperature
bologna?

Excuse me,
I got to do the rounds.

Bleh, host duties,
am I right?

Hank Richards!

Dude, I didn't know
you were dead!

Wild night, huh?

And to think I almost went
to Geoff's party instead.

Uh, dude,
you are at Jeff's party.

(screams)

Sorry, G-E-O-F-F's party.

He's my best friend,
but come on.

You don't say no
to a shindig like this.

Hey.

No, I guess you don't.

Not like it matters.

Geoff's at his party,

probably not even
thinking about me.

I was at my party,

but I couldn't stop
thinking about Scratch.

I brought him soup.

Oh, that is so nice of you.

But, Scratch, he's, uh...

He's asleep!

And when he sneezes,
it's just ectoplasm everywhere.

Why don't I give this to Scratch
as soon as he gets back--

Wakes up! Okay?

All right, but make sure he
knows how much I treasure him.

Goodbye, you angel.

You'd better be having
a really good time.

I'm having a really good time!

(dance music blaring)

(laughing) Whoa!

Ah!

"G" Geoff?
What is he doing here?

Oh, no.

I hope he doesn't see you.
That'd be so bad.

I bet when I didn't show,

he canceled his party
and came here instead.

Wow, your best friend
was really counting on you,

and you let him down,
didn't you?

Oh. Yeah.

Well, there's only
one thing to do, right?

- Hope he doesn't see you.
- (laughs nervously) Whew!

I thought you were gonna say
fess up and tell him the truth.

I like this better. Cover me!

Ah! Lost him.

I really love these churros.

They're so crispy,
yet so soft.

GEOFF:
Scratch?

Geoff? "G" Geoff.

I can explain, brother.

Oh! You had a miracle recovery
and made it to my party.

Wait. What? Your party?

This is Jeff's party.

"J" Jeff, not you Geoff.

Yeah, it's our party.

Jeff is my afterlife partner.

Wait, you and him?

(stammering)

Oh, I know.
I get your confusion.

But Jeff spells it with a J,

while I spell it G-E--

I know how you spell it!

But how did I not know
you two were together?

No idea.

You're at our anniversary party.

Whoa.

Yeah, I do not know
how I missed that.

Geoff. Jeff.

(laughs)
This blowout was the best.

You knew and you didn't
tell me?

That's for what you did
to the chairman.

The real chairman.

Jinx out!

My soup must've cured

your spontaneous illness,
huh, buddy?

You brought me soup?
You're a good friend, Geoff.

Better than I deserve.

I...

Oh, I wasn't sick.

I faked it
to get out of your party.

But you're at my party.

Keep up, pal.

Yeah, but I didn't know that.

When Jeff, that Jeff,
invited me--

Well, this will shock you.

I haven't always been
very popular.

And it felt nice to be
one of the best of the best.

I'm sorry, Geoff.

Oh, buddy, I can't blame you for
wanting to hang out with Jeff.

I mean, he's so awesome,

I'm spending the rest
of my afterlife with him.

Now, come on, let's party.

Geoff may forgive you,

but you're not off the hook
with me, pal.

If you ever hurt
my angelic Geoff again,

You'll answer to me!

Got it. Yes, Sir.

Now let's have a good time!

(dance music blaring)

- (all cheering)
- Yeah!

Whew! What a night.

I tell you what,
I'm gonna sleep like the dead.

Ah, hey, Scratch,
I've updated the handbook,

so now it clearly states

you should have gone
to Geoff's party.

I did, but Geoff's party
was actually Jeff's party,

so it all worked out
in the end.

- Night night!
- What?
