Hello there, handsome!
Is that a new muscle? Why? What…
[crinkles, smacks]
Well, is it that time already? I have a feeling it's gonna be a good one!
[growls]
[groans]
[straining]
-[crackling] -Ah…
[straining]
[chuckles fiendishly]
-[panting] -[twinkles]
Nothing like a good shed.
It's been some year, old skin. We left the swamp, met my dad.
I learned some city slang. Bodega! Schmear!
I shall call this one "My Crustaceous Period".
Let's send you to Edmee.
[in sing-song] She'll be so impressed by her growing boy!
[suspenseful music plays]
[meows]
[dramatic hip hop plays]
Uh-huh. [yowls] Sneak attack!
[hisses, growls]
Oh?
[chuckles nervously]
-[bird growls, shrieks] -Ah!
-[bird screeching] -[groaning]
[chuckles nervously]
Ow!
[groans]
[grunts]
-Ow. -[shrieks]
[groans]
[screeching]
[otherworldly music plays]
[scatting]
[otherworldly music plays]
[gasps]
Ghost!
-[humming] -Arlo-Arlo-Arlo-Arlo-Arlo-Arlo-Arlo! Arlo!
-Oh! Agh! -[thuds]
[clatters]
What's going on?
I was outside administering some street justice…
Ah!
-…to some local ne'er-do-wells… -Wait. What?
…when I saw a ghost through your bedroom window.
A ghost?
It was…
[shudders] …horrible.
Flaky, transparent and green.
-[gags] -[Arlo gulps]
-A foul and ghastly phantasm… -Ugh.
…sent to terrorize us mortals from a realm unknown!
I mean… it wasn't that bad, was it?
Rest assured that it was the most horrific thing I have ever witnessed,
and it will haunt my every waking moment until the end of my days on this earth.
I never realized my skin…
[hesitates] …that ghost was so disgusting.
-[lighter flicks] -What you doing?
Just casting a protection spell to ward off evil spirits.
Oh, how attached are you to Jeromio?
-Ribbit. -Ah…
-Never mind. -Sure you know what you're doing?
Trust me, I watch a lot of TV.
Have any sage? I need to create a herbal perimeter.
You could use that oregano from Tony's you always carry around.
Yes, oregano. Not…
[chuckles nervously] …catnip.
[clattering softly]
[sniffing]
Hmm. That ghost is so close I can almost smell it.
[sniffs] What is that smell?
There it is!
-I think I saw it watering my plants. -[hisses, yowls]
[inhales sharply, whimpers] Ooh.
[grunts, pants, chuckles nervously]
I think we got it. I don't feel a spectral presence.
I can't thank you enough for bringing this very real problem to my attention.
[inhales] I live to serve, what can I say?
Okay, skin, I'm sorry, but I didn't know how disgusting you are.
I just gotta get you to Edmee before anyone else sees--
[gasps]
[ominous music plays]
[dramatic hip hop music plays]
Psst. Excuse me.
-[skin crinkling] -[wind gusting]
Hey! I need that back, please.
Whoa.
Got… to… send it… to… Edmee!
[shrieks]
[coughs]
[screams]
[gasps]
[tires squeal]
[groans]
Huh?
[ghostly whooshing]
[shrieks]
What?
[coughs] Ugh.
I got that ghost on the run!
[laughs]
A ghost?
Yeah! It looks just like Arlo, but hideous.
Gotta go bust some ghosts!
Alia, I can help! Don't get too close! I'll catch it!
Ugh, not ghosts. They're worse than rats.
Better make sure they don't get possessed.
[light buzzes]
[Tony sighs]
After a long hard day, there's nothing like sharing a digestif with a friend.
-[pops] -Bonnisimo.
[laughs]
[crinkles]
-[shrieks] -[deep voice] Ooh.
-Oh, yeah. -[enticing music plays]
Mm.
Yeah.
[panting] Alia, do you think we could just maybe let the ghost go?
Shh.
Don't empathize with the supernatural.
[faint crinkling]
-[gasps] -Rickety Biscuit!
[shrieks]
[both scream]
It's terrifying!
[dramatic music plays]
[Arlo] Whoa!
-Agh! -What did I miss?
Something disgusting and frightening came--
Yeah, and we were minding our own business--
And it swoops up and--
-The ghost took Arlo. -[dramatic music plays]
[both gasp] A ghost?
-[gasps] Took Arlo? -Yeah, that's literally what I just said.
[crinkling]
So… I still really need my skin back.
[shrieks]
I hope no one sees this.
[gasps] What is that?
It's awful!
-Ugh. -I can't look away.
Aw.
[can hissing]
Here's where we belong, skin.
[inhales] We will make a home among the gross and discarded… just like us.
♪ Oh, yeah ♪
[male voice] No, no. No singing in the dumpster.
[sighs heavily]
Hey, kid.
Marcellus? What are you doing here?
This is my vacation home.
I come here now and then to get away from the fountain, unwind,
and also, to eat these discarded pizza crusts.
[chomps] Mm.
Oh. It's environmentally responsible.
You here for the crusts too? Because forget it, I got dibs.
No.
[sniffles]
I'm here because…
[sobs] …I'm not fit for society.
[sobbing]
Finally you realize it! Ugh. It was just a matter of time.
[sniffling]
Um… Look, kid, why don't you--
Why don't you tell what's going on to good old wise
and incredibly handsome Marcellus here, huh?
[chuckles]
Well, I have a very horrible, flaky, foul, and hideous secret.
Oh.
Do you want some pizza crusts?
Mm-mm.
Okay, Arlo, whatever it is, I can take it.
-Really? -Yeah.
Well, I might as well just share, from gross to gross.
I have this, um…
bodily function?
I shed my skin as I grow.
That's it?
Is that not enough?
Not even my top three grossest things ever.
Doesn't even touch that inside-out fish Norm,
who owes me five bucks.
-Ew. -Think I ain't seen a shed skin before?
I was in the tank.
And in the tank, we all marinate in each other's filth.
The trick to not being ashamed… is not to hide it.
That's why I dress up like this! You gotta love the skin you're in.
Or, not in.
You know, I think you're right.
It's not such a bad little skin, is it?
-[whirring] -[gasps]
Ew. Get it, Tony, it's awful!
Agh! Stop blowing it towards me, it's gross!
Alia! You ready? We're sending it your way!
You blew it too far!
[ghostly whooshing]
-[low note resonates] -[breathes deeply]
-I'm about to become a vessel… -[ethereal music playing]
[vacuum whirs]
[gasps]
[giggles] Gotcha!
Oh, no. Ooh.
[grunts, gasps]
[laughs]
[dramatic music plays]
What are you gonna do?
[gasps] Oh, hi, Arlo! I'm gonna eliminate this ghost.
Forever!
Let's throw this baby into high gear.
[gasps]
-Mm-hm. -[loud whirring]
Wait!
[whirring stops]
It-- It isn't a ghost.
It's a part of me.
My very own alligator skin, shed just this morning.
Ah… Oh…
-That's… yours? -[gentle music plays]
Today I learned I don't have to be ashamed of my body
if I love the skin I'm in.
-A wise person taught me that. -It was me! Ah.
I'm the wise person.
Wise person alert! Right over here.
Everyone hear? Can we make a record of this moment?
-[skin crinkles] -[scratching]
At first, I thought…
Your disgusting bodily function was something to be ashamed of?
Mm-hmm.
Arlo, we all thought that was an otherworldly being.
If it came from you, it's not scary at all.
We all have weird stuff going on with our bodies.
Like sometimes I get fleas.
Uh, I get night sweats.
Guitar calluses.
Don't look at me, honey! I'm flawless.
Right… Right-right-right-right…
I think what Alia is trying to say is we're all--
We're all disgusting!
All equally disgusting.
Oh, I-- I love how damp you are, Tony.
Ew… Come on.
What'll you do with your skin?
I could use it to test out my new line of moisturizers.
Sorry, Furlecia,
but it's spoken for.
-[gentle music plays] -[siren wailing in distance]
-[frogs croaking] -[animals trilling]
Well, well, well.
Hmm. Is it that time of year already?
My sweet, little, alligator boy.
-[sighs] -[steps approaching]
-[gasps] -[loud splash]
Huh.
Now, who have we got here?
