Morning, guys.
Is Alex awake yet?
[laughing]
Yeah...
Oh, good one, right?
Hey, so what are you guys doing?
Check it out. Conscience and I are studying.
But your mom and dad have been trying to get you to study for years
and you've been ignoring them.
Ah, very true.
However, they don't sit on my lap and hold a book to my face.
My conscience does do that.
OK, Max, back to work.
Let's try the "Picture This" spell.
All right, what does that do?
Well, you cast it on any picture frame
and you can see what's going on someplace else.
- Ah, cool. - Guys...
What is with all the yammering? It's the middle of the night.
Shh!
We're studying!
Oh. I thought you were working on a ventriloquist act
with two dummies.
Conscience has been waking Max up
and forcing him to study spells before he knows he's awake.
He just learned the "Picture This" spell.
He did? I haven't even learned that one yet.
It's in the next chapter.
And I only know it's in the next chapter because I put my gum there.
That conscience can ruin my chance of being the family wizard.
You know what else can ruin your chance?
A little disease you have called laziness.
I'm not lazy, I'm just resting up for my 30s.
Yep. Got a lot planned. [burps]

- [both giggle] - Again.
- Once more. - Hey!
You two weirdoes, get a cave.
Don't be afraid of love, Alex.
It's what makes the world go 'round.
Oh, well, so does money. So what's it gonna cost to get you two out of here
'cause I gotta study.
Hi, everyone. If you don't remember,
I'm Chancellor Rudy Tootietootie of the Monster Hunter Council.
It's good to see you. [clears throat]
[sighs] I feel like a member of the family already.
When do we start the fight over Grandma's will?
Grandma's broke. She doesn't have a will.
Anyway, I... [sniffing]
Do you guys smell vanilla and death?
Either there's a monster in here or you guys need to clean out the refrigerator.
It's my perfume.
Uh, yeah! [scoffs]
It's called Death by... Vanilla.
We'll go get you some. Come on.
Anyway...
I'm here to tell you you've completed
your independent study course in monster hunting.
Uh, but I'm not even done with the class, sir.
Yep, that's how it works in the go-go world of monster hunting.
Anyway, this is your first official case.
There's a mummy loose in the area.
- [organ sting plays] - Mummy?
Um, sir, shouldn't you bring in some monster hunters
with more experience for that?
Can't. They've all been destroyed.
[organ sting plays]
By the mummy?
I'm required to say "no."
[whimpers]
Don't look into the mummy's eyes
or you'll fall under his control and you'll be his servant forever,
which is way worse than it seems.
- It seems pretty bad. - Then you get it.
- [shudders] - [organ sting plays]
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down there. We don't want to be too obvious.
OK. So we'll just pop in here,
do a little mummy research before the museum closes.
Huh. I knew her.
- What's up? - OK, come on.
OK, so all I could find on the Wiznet
was that mummies enjoy cookie dough ice cream, being buried alive,
and extremely slow walks in the park.
[laughs] Yeah, 'cause they're, like, "Raaah!"
- [shudders] - Oh! Oh, I'm sorry!
- Did I just make you scared? - No. I've been scared the whole time.
You just reminded me of it.
Oh, what did you just spill?
[Justin] Hmm.
Monster hunter dust.
It only glows and activates when a monster has passed over it.
Like... Like that?
Yeah, well, you're a monster, you passed over it.
That's why it's been activated.
What about these drips of cookie dough ice cream?
You hate cookie dough ice cream.
But you know who loves it?
The mummy.
He's here.
I've been thinking...
- Oh, thanks for the heads-up. See ya! - No, no!
Without Conscience around,
Max won't do the right thing.
We just need to get him away from Max
to buy me more time to study and catch up.
All right, just... as long as I'm not involved.
No problem. I'll distract Max
while you invite Conscience to do something out of the house.
Do you ever hear me?
Come on, go!
Hey, Conscience, there's a laser light show
at the planetarium tonight. Wanna go?
Well, that sounds like fun,
but I can't leave Max's side.
- It's not what a good conscience does. - Mm-mmm.
Yes, yes! And you have done such a good job.
I think you deserve a break. Don't you, Max?
Don't you think he deserves a break?
Um, well, I think so
because at least once a day he says, "Gimme a break, Max!"
I guess I could use a little break.
All right. Now remember, this isn't a date.
Unless we see Jeremy from science,
and then you better act like you're totally into me.
- Excuse me. - Hmm?
Has anyone found a cell phone?
Let's look here.
Yes, I did. Thank you.
- [beeps] - That's my phone.
Yeah, one second. Hello.
Yes, operator, can you please connect me to anyone in Australia?
I'm trying to find out what, like, a koala bear sounds like.
I think it's like a... [trills and clicks]
Give me that!
I'm so sorry. I think it's just a little joke.
Uh, sandwich is on us.
Did I just hear you give away a sandwich?
There's something wrong with Max.
[mimics spaceship flying]
Honey, where's Conscience?
Uh, he went to the Lazerama light show with Harper.
Alex thought he needed a break.
[sighs]
[both] Alex.
Hello!
[chuckles] Just studying.
Oh, I found my gum!
What did you do?
Nothing! I just encouraged Conscience
to take a well-deserved break from Max.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm on a long trip to education.
Invisible shade.
Excuse me?
[mimics shade snapping up]
Did you know that if Max and Conscience are separated too long
that Conscience will become a person of his own
and never go back to Max?
And one of the reasons why I don't know that
is because people keep interrupting me when I'm trying to study.
I bet you that kind of stuff's on the next page of this.
Yep, there it is. OK, I'll fix it.
[man] Attention: the Egyptian exhibit is now closed.
The coast is clear.
This is weird.
These are usually shut.
I'll bet the mummy opened it.
Come on.
[humming]
[shouts]
Oh, man! Uh...
You must have hit a switch or something. Look around.
There's gotta be a switch around here somewhere.
No. I know who did it and I have good news.
Oh.
We found the mummy.
[growls]
Shield your eyes!
Huh?
OK, he's gone. Let's not panic.
Right.
Mommy!
Mommy, please!
[muffled] Please let me out of here!
- [Justin] Mommy, please! - [screaming, muffled]
Yep, it's soundproof.
Yeah. Uh...
Magic.
Plastic: the natural enemy of magic.
OK, cover your eyes.
I'm gonna try and break us out of here.
[screeching]
Ow!
No, no! I wouldn't step over here if I were you.
That second hit knocked the guano out of me.
[growls]
The mummy's here. OK, remember,
whatever you do, do not look into his eyes.
[growls and grunts]
[overlapping clamor]
[groans]
Welcome to my minion army!
Now, you, go get me a pint of cookie dough ice cream.
And you, take my sarcophagus to the back door.
[groans] Hold on!
I don't think he's after us.
I think he's just trying to get his stuff back.
OK, so we wait here until the museum opens in the morning,
and then someone will come and get us. Problem solved!
Yeah, that's not gonna work.
- Why not? - See that?
Oh, yeah. A skylight.
Skylights are nice.
Nice? No. Skylight, vampire...
Morning, sunshine.
Ow! [groaning]
Ash.
We are in deep guano.
What are you doing?
Sometimes when it's awkward and there's nothing to talk about
I just... laugh to fill the space!
There's something in your backpack.
Am I too late? Catch me up.
- I'm your new conscience. - [laughing]
[sobs]
This is great!
I'm growing my own conscience.
That means I'm becoming my own person.
Conscience, you've gotta get home now.
I'm not called Conscience anymore.
[laughing]
[groaning]
This is all awkward for you, isn't it?
Hello, girls. I'm Conscience's new conscience.
Oh, no, it's gone further than I thought.
We've gotta get him out of there.
[laughing]
Look, Conscience, you've got to see what's going on at home.
Excuse me.
Please, please, tell me now
Is there something I should know
Duranium Duranius
He's eating my special mustard!
He's not even supposed to touch that!
Mmm!
He's wiping his face on my couch pillows!
Would you forget about the couch pillows?!
He's eating my special mustard!
[groans] It's good!
Going back would be the right thing to do.
Yeah, it looks pretty bad back there,
but... that's your problem now.
I'm my own person.
How much do you weigh?
I don't know. A buck, a buck five.
We can take him.
[Conscience gasps]
I'll get us out of here.
All I need is something big and heavy,
like, uh... No.
Like a boulder!
Juliet, we're saved!
Let me just... OK, lift with the back.
[grunts]
Styrofoam?
Great. Now what are we gonna do?
Whoa! The mummy's back.
Let us out of here,
you wrapped in strips of fabric guy!
- Justin, Justin, um... - Yeah?
Let's not squander whatever time we have left
yelling kind of lame insults at the mummy.
Look, it's pretty obvious I'm not gonna make it.
Let's just be together while we can, OK?
[growls]
Wait. I know what needs to happen.
You have to look into his eyes.
What?
It's the only way you'll survive.
If you look into his eyes you'll become his servant.
He'll take you with him.
No. What about you?
Someone will come get me in the morning.
No, I want to spend this last night here with you.
I want to be with you, too,
but this is the only chance you have.
You can't catch me, Dad. You can't catch me!
Whoo!
[gasps, screams]
Put me down! I said put me down!
- Uh-oh. - Wait, as long as you're going, can you take...
Dad, I was thinking, on my way back here
I just learned a spell that could turn Conscience into a pair of socks.
Hey, that's perfect.
Max can just wear Conscience.
He only wears the same pair of socks anyway, it might as well be Conscience.
Theresa, that's not how magic works,
but I do know a spell that will help.
Conscience, get ready to get back into Max.
Goodbye, loser. I'm never seeing you again.
No, Max, I'm gonna be inside...
Just do it.
All right, here's the spell.
Alex, say, "Scrubby dubby, into the tubby."
Scrubby dubby, into the tubby
Oh, I see, I get it now.
Argyle, bobby, tube, knee-high
Into socks turn this guy
[water sloshing]
[wash cycle starts]
- What's wrong, honey? - [sobs] I never thought I'd see Max do laundry.
[bell dings]
[coughs]
Thank you, Alex.
Mom, I'm sorry I broke the lamp.
I promise I'll clean it up.
And to do that, I'm going to need a broom, a dustpan,
double-stick tape, and a small dog.
He's back.
I'll grab the broom, the dustpan, the double-stick tape.
You grab some bacon and hang out at the dog park.
OK.
Man, I'm getting better at this.
Justin really should watch his back.
I can't wait to tell him.
Please, please tell me now Is there something I should know
Duranium Duranius
[growling]
Oh, no.
Justin, I know it's right. I'm just scared I'll never see you again.
You will.
This won't be forever. I promise.
I tracked down this joker once and I'll do it again.
You're my vampire.
And you're my wizard.
OK, now we just gotta get through the soundproof barrier somehow.
If we wave to the kids.
[growls]
- I love you, Juliet. - I love you, Justin.
[growls]
[glass squeaks]
[growls]
A vampire minion.
Grow your wings.
Fan me on the way out.
Yes, master.
How fast do those things go?
Forty-five in the country, 25 in the city.
I'll come get you if it's the last thing I do!
Justin!
Are you OK? I saw that you were trapped.
What happened? Am I too late?
I let Juliet go with the mummy.
It was the only thing I could do to save her life.
The only thing you could do to save her life?
Oh, right. Skylight.
Well, I guess that's something that you guys are always gonna have to deal with.
I mean, just like whoever I end up with
is gonna have to deal with all this.
Wow.
I threw you a lob and you didn't swing.
You must be pretty upset.
I love her.
Well, you know what they say...
If you love somebody, set them free.
And if they really love you...
...they'll come back.
Not if they're a mind-slave to a mummy.
OK, so clearly I'm not as good as you are making people feel better,
so... [sighs]
Let's just hug and go get some cookie dough ice cream.
Cookie dough! [sobbing]
There, there. Let it out.
All right. Hey, maybe I am good at this.
[crying]
[loud nose blowing]
