" Students, here are the names" "Of those who made varsity scare team." "And this is a picture of the disco ball I'm selling." "Mother says dancing is for naughty boys." " Oh, man, the list is out." "Hey, go see if I made the team." "I can't do it." " Look at you all nervous..." "Just like me when yoga club was posted." "No way." "Louie, great news!" " Are you serious?" "I made the team?" " Oh, I don't know about that." "But how long have I been talking about getting a disco ball?" " I didn't make it." " Join the club, my friend." " You guys didn't make it either?" "That's..." "How could I not make it?" " Oh, look, I'm at the top of the list--shocking." "Remove my glasses so I can gaze" "Upon those unworthy of making the team." "Guys, look, just 'cause you didn't make the scare team," "Don't think you aren't a good ghost." "Know it, losers!" "Unnecessary jacket change!" " I know king's the most powerful ghost in school," "But he's such a jerk." " Yeah, well, he's lucky" "He's not going up against louie preston." " Oh, am I lucky?" "[laughter]" " Real lucky." "[spooky rock music]" " ♪ don't know how we ended up this way ♪" " ♪ but I guess you could call us ♪" " ♪ the haunted hathaways" " What's up, little man?" "Just getting ready for my fishing trip with the guys." "It's gonna be on the hook." "Hook, fishing..." "What's going on, son?" " I didn't make the scare team." "It's official-- I'm a terrible ghost." " Don't say that." "You're a great ghost." " During tryouts I turned myself into a lima bean." " It is the scariest bean..." " Let's face it--I'd be better off being a pro golfer." " Oh, mommy!" " Oh, did I get you?" " Listen, son, put away the club." "You're gonna get there one day." "You just have to have confidence and focus." " Louie, a parade is coming down the street," "And I have a whole basket full of water balloons." " I don't feel like it." "I'm out of here." " What's wrong with louie?" " He's upset he didn't make his school's scare team." " Poor little guy." "I hate to see him hurting." "I wish there was something" "We could do to help lift his spirits." " You know, frankie, underneath that hard edge," "You're just a caring, little sweetheart, aren't ya?" " Ha!" "Take that, you hippie!" "Sorry." "What were you saying?" " Taylor, I stayed up all night, but I finally did it." "I baked the perfect chocolate meringue pie for the pie wars." "It's a contest to find the best baker in new orleans." "[yawns] I am so pumped." "[snores] - mom!" " I'm up!" "I'm up!" "Saved it!" " Hey, tay." "I know what you're thinking." " That you're blocking my view of kyle toms," "The cutest boy in school?" " Exactly." "Something is missing from my outfit." "Care to guess what?" " Not now." "I'm trying to flirt." " Right again." "It's a bow tie." "I entered a sweepstakes to win the bow tie" "Worn by bruce wayne in batman," "And I find out tomorrow if I win." "How cool is that?" " Ugh." "Isn't it the worst when people don't notice you?" "Miles, why are you wearing a tux?" " Miss, the food was delightful." "I'd like to give you an extraordinary tip." " Oh, thank you." " May this charm bring you all the luck you deserve." " Yay." "Fake money." "A good-luck coin?" "This is worse than when mom tried to pay me in hugs." " What?" "Getting paid in hugs is the best." " Hi." "I don't know your name or anything about you," "But I looked over here and saw the cutest girl I've ever seen." " Where?" "Oh." " Do you want to go to a movie tomorrow?" "I could swing by here around 7:00." " Sounds good." "Miles, how did that just happen?" "[gasps] it's the coin!" " What?" "Some kid asks you out," "And you think it's because of a stupid charm?" " Uh, duh." "Mom." " [snores] saved it!" " Okay, I'm off to my fly-fishing trip." "Or should I say my super-fly fishing trip." "[laughs]" "I'm gonna stop doing those now." " I think that's for the best." " Louie, take off that hat." "Chin up, buddy." "Your time is gonna come..." "Maybe sooner than you think." "See you guys tomorrow." " Ray's right." "You should just keep practicing." "In fact, can you turn on that lamp for me?" " What's the point?" "I'd probably end up giving the peacock" "A handlebar mustache." " Come on." "You did it!" "You turned on the lamp..." "And also gave the peacock a handlebar mustache." " Probably just beginner's luck." " Maybe, maybe not." "Try slamming the door." "[door slams]" " Frankie, I just slammed the door" "Without turning into a piece of fruit!" " Try something bigger." "How about levitating the couch?" " Okay, here goes..." "No way!" "I did it!" "I did it!" "Whoo-hoo!" "I'm the man!" " Great job." "A little help, please?" " You guys doubted me, but through all the hard times," "I never lost faith in myself." " Louie." " You know, the term "superstar"" "Is often overused, but in my case" " Louie, lift the couch." " Oh, sorry." " [breathing heavily]" " This is awesome." "I can't wait for school tomorrow." " Okay, the coast is clear." "Nice job with the tricks, ray." "You made louie look like an awesome ghost." " Eh, hopefully it gave him the boost of confidence he needed." "You know, it does feel good" "To help someone, though, right, frankie?" "Frankie?" " Ha ha!" "Direct hit!" "Sorry." "What were you saying?" " Never mind." "I'll see you when I get back." " Francesca, a moment." " Whoa." "That was close." " No, that was lucky." " [sighs] all this coin stuff is such nonsense." "That was so batman." " I'm so sorry." " Taylor, are you okay?" " I thought my coin brought only good luck" "Wait." "It's gone." "Where'd it go?" " Oh, yes!" "My lucky day!" " Mom, what's going on?" " It's unbelievable." "I just got the call." " The school's going to let you direct plays again?" " No." " You're allowed back at the public pool?" " No." " You can stop wearing your mouth guard at night?" " No!" "I'm a finalist in pie wars." " Nice!" " So your teeth aren't getting any straighter?" " Where'd you get that?" " Oh, it was on the table." "I saw it right before the phone rang." " I knew it." " Here we go." " That's my lucky coin." "It was given to me by a mystical voodoo priestess." " Mrs. Atherton?" "She's a librarian." " Nevertheless, I need it for my date," "So give me." " Oh, a lucky coin, you say?" " Michelle, please don't tell me" "You believe in this nonsense too." " No, no, of course not." "But I think I'll hold on to it anyway," "If only to teach my daughter a lesson about grabbing." " [scoffs] give me a break." "You just want to hold it so you can win your pie contest." " Nuh-uh." "I'm just being a good mother." " Great." "In that case, you won't mind if I get rid of the coin." " Absolutely not." " Michelle, you're not letting go." " Yes, I am." "Here you go." " What up, ghosts and ghoulies?" "Unnecessarily over the top entrance!" " Yo, king, we need to talk." "Is that boy on a sleigh?" " What do you want, preston?" " I'm sick and tired of you walking around" "Like you're better than us." " That's a good point..." "Except I am better than you-- word reversal." "Count it." " [laughing] total burn." "I-I mean..." "Be nice, children." " Laugh it up, king, but the only joke I see" "Is you wearing that varsity scare jacket." "Double burn, am I right, mr." "D?" " You got a big mouth, kid, but can you back it up?" " Oh, I can back it up, like a dump truck." "Bee!" "Bee!" "Bee!" " That was..." "Yeah." " I'm calling you out, king." "I challenge you to a ghost duel." "[all gasp]" " You're on, punk." " 4:00 tomorrow, behind the gym--best trick wins." "You going down." "[all gasp]" " Oh, snap." " You challenged the most powerful guy in school" "To a ghost duel?" " Of course I did." "Nothing can stop me." " Except for the fact" "That all the tricks you did yesterday were done by your dad." " [chuckles] what?" "All of them?" " Not all of them..." "Just the ones that worked." " I don't believe you." "Lamp on." "Eh, I've done worse." " Wait for it." " I believe you now." " You have to back out of this ghost duel." " But everyone will think I chickened out." "What am I going to do?" " Well, you can't go to a duel if you're grounded." " What are you trying to say?" " T-that you can't go to a duel if you're grounded." " Way ahead of you." "As soon as your mom finds out who blew up her toilet," "I'll be grounded for a week." "Genius!" " Or you could've just told king you were grounded." " Hey!" "What happened down here?" " Miles did it!" "I got to call king." "Yo, king, it's the "l" train." "L-louie preston." "Today's your lucky day." "I can't make our duel." "I'm grounded, so..." "Bummer." "Oh, I see." "He said if I can't leave my house to duel," "He'll bring the duel to my house." "He then did an unnecessary backflip." " Come on, come on!" "Where's the last place miles would think I'd look" "For the coin?" "In a book!" " Oh, hey." "What you up to, sweetie?" " Uh, just doing a little spring cleaning" "Before my date with kyle." " Oh, don't be silly." "You'll dirty your pretty outfit." "I'll--I'll finish in here." "Cleaning is-- is one of my true joys." "[snap] aah!" " Yikes." "You should have that looked at." " I don't remember that pillow being there." " Stop grabbing!" " I saw it first!" " Hey, guys." "On my way to the big bow-tie raffle." "What's going on?" " What?" "I-is there a law against a mother and daughter" "Having a little pillow fight?" "[chuckles]" "See?" "What fun!" " [chuckles]" " Any luck reaching your dad?" " Nope." "Nothing to do now except go get embarrassed" "In front of the entire school." " Maybe it won't be so bad." "I mean, who holds a duel on a Tuesday afternoon?" "Most kids probably won't even show." " Hmm." "[bell dinging, indistinct chatter]" " I guess Tuesday is a good duel day." "All: ♪ oh, here he comes, our pint-sized hero ♪" "♪ fighting for our honor and pride ♪" "♪ though some might say he's a total zero-- ♪" " G-guys!" " You're late." "You missed my unnecessarily over the top entrance" "On a blue whale." "[whale squeals]" " Wait." "We can't have a duel." "We're not dressed for it." "Darn." "You boys take your time packing up the ring." " I don't think so, preston." "Better?" " Much." "Thank you." " Ladies and gentlemen, ghouls and fools," "Let's prepare to duel!" "[cheers and applause]" " Louie, you have to back out." " Louie!" "Both: ♪ he can do it, he can do it ♪" " Louie!" "Both: ♪ he can do it, he can do it ♪" " I can't back out." "Too many people are relying on me" "Weird people..." "But still..." "I have to try." "[bell dings] - three rounds--best trick wins." "I'll start off with something easy." "[crow caws] [cheers and applause]" " [scoffs] that's all you got?" "[chuckles]" " Mosquito." " You're up, preston." "What you got?" " You think a stupid giant raven is scary?" "Check this out." "[laughter]" "Hey, frankie, am I scary?" " Very." " Ah!" "Aha!" "The philodendron!" "And mama for the win!" " I think I see it." "[snap] oh!" " You might want to get that looked at." " Hey, guys!" "Guess who won the bow tie?" "Look at this place!" "And this is why I don't like pillow fights." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Where's the coin?" " Is that what this is all about?" "How sad." "I hid it where you would never find it..." "In my pocket." " No wonder you won the bow tie." "You had the coin." " What?" "That's ridiculous." "Just because out of 4,000 raffle tickets," "They just happened to pull my" "Whoa." "Guys, I think this coin might be lucky." " [gasps]" " Nice work, detective." "Now hand it over." "I have a pie contest to win." " No, give it to me." "I have a date." " No can do." "There's a super-sweet disco ball I'm bidding on." "This puppy stays with me." " All right..." "This ends now." " [gasps]" "My baby." " Put the coin down," "Or the tie gets it." " [chuckles] taylor, think about what you're doing." " Not so fast." " What is that?" " A photo I just found of you being potty trained" "When you were eight." "Yeah, eight." "Not a proud moment for either of us, but nevertheless," "What if I were to show this to kyle?" " You wouldn't." " Try me." " Before you take that, michelle," "How lucky will it be" "When your final pie entry is smashed to pieces?" " [gasps] don't you dare." " I dare." " Wait." "Look at what this coin is doing to us." "We're a family." "We can't act this way towards each other." " You're right." " Good point." " Let's just everyone put our items down on three?" "[clears throat] one..." "Two..." "Three." "[chuckles]" "Can you believe what animals we just were?" " Yes, this is much better." " The coin is mine!" " No, it's not!" " Give me!" "I'm the adult!" " My bow tie is destroyed." " Oh, my pie is ruined." "[elevator bell dings]" " Oh, joy." " Ah!" "Taylor?" " Hey, kyle." "I'll go grab my jacket." " Sure." "You do that." "I'll..." "Meet you at the theater." " Wait." "Which theater?" " Okay, then." "[elevator bell dings] - look at this place." "Our selfishness really got the best of us." " You know, the woman who gave me this" "Said it would bring me all the luck I deserve." "I guess this is what we deserve." "I'm getting rid of this stupid thing." " Ow!" "My eye!" " Sorry, kyle!" "Maybe it is a little lucky." "[bell dings]" "All: ♪ we have to say this is going bad ♪" "♪ louie's scares have been very sad ♪" " Guys!" "I beg of you, shut up." " That was the worst round yet." " Uh, hey, preston, let me know if you plan on turning" "Into a scary gumdrop again..." "So I can grab my blanky." "[laughter]" " Louie, stay with me." "This is the last round." "You have to go for a k.O. And scare king out of the ring." "It's your only chance." " I'm not sure I have it in me." " Just remember what your dad told you." "You need to have confidence." "There's a great ghost inside of louie preston." "You know how I know?" "Because frankie hathaway doesn't bet on losers." " Thanks, frankie." "I'll give it a try." "[bell dings]" " What's going on here?" " It's a war to settle the score," "The ultimate ghost smackdown." " You're louie's teacher." " Mother took away my dancing." "This is all I have, okay?" " Okay, here I go." "[laughter]" " Oh, boy." " Hey, everybody," "Who wants to see me pet the "wittle" puppy?" " Hey, king, ever heard the expression" ""never wake a sleeping giant"?"

"He's still hiding in the cookie jar." " No, I'm not." " Well, pops, looks like there's another level-ten ghost" "In the house." "Oh, yeah!"
