(yawns, snores)
(toy squeaks)
(floor squeaking)
(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.

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.

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.

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 ♪

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.
