Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred

Hey, it's Fred!

My life is a horror movie!

It's so scary!

I'm so scared!

And you'll be, too,

once you hear about it.

You'll be scared

and scarred.

Scare-arr-red!

That's a new word I just made up,

scared and scarred

combined.

Which is what you'll be.

I'm gonna go get a snack.

Do you want to hear about it or not?

Meet me in the kitchen.

Usually, I lead a very normal life,

go to school, hang with friends,

see my girl.

You remember Judy, right?

Freddie

Judy.

Yeah, we broke up.

Dumped her.

- Don't go, Fred.

- I'm sorry, Judy, but

I can't be tied down.

Here's looking at you, kid.

Well, we'll always have the party

where you threw up on me, Fred,

now, won't we?

Yeah, that's what happened.

But she was the one to break up with me.

Anyways,

that wasn't the scary part.

My music teacher,

Mrs. Felson.

She is the best music teacher

to ever live on this earth.

How was it?

How was it, Mrs. Felson?

Beautiful, Fred. Just lovely.

Thank you.

What?

Thank you!

Tarzan! Don't you play

with Mummy's hearing aid.

But today, when I got to school,

she had vanished.

Disappeared.

Gone without a trace.

Mrs. Felson?

Mrs. Felson?

Mrs. Felson?

Hello-ski.

- Who are you?

- Well, who are you?

I'm Fred.

That tells me almost nothing.

I'm a student here.

I knew that.

I was just kidding.

It didn't seem like you were kidding.

Or did it?

I'm Mr. Devlin, the music teacher,

and I want to help you

join the world with music.

Music teacher?

You like bulgogi?

I don't know what that is!

Where's Mrs. Felson?

It was her time to move on.

Bye-ski!

He was so weird!

But the horror didn't end there.

Oh, my gammit, I wasn't expecting this

to be good, but it's amazing!

You've gotta try this.

Sorry.

Anyway, I'm so scared about

what happened after school today.

Someone followed me,

a stalker!

A really strange person.

No,

be quiet, it's okay, don't scream.

Okay.

Oh, my gammit! He's moving in next door!

- Who?

- Mr. Devlin, the weird new...

Hey, it's Fred! My life is a horror movie!

It's so scary!

I'm so scared!

Now do you see why I was so scare-arr-red?

This sandwich is really

making me feel better.

Not totally, but, you know,

it's getting there.

Why did he have

an umbrella in the daytime?

I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't

be scared, now would I?

And why are you so scared?

He's just a teacher.

He's responsible for

the disappearance of Mrs. Felson, Bertha!

I think Mrs. Felson got fired.

Yeah, I guess that could have happened,

except for the fact that it's impossible

'cause she's

the best music teacher in the world.

- In the whole planet.

- I get it, okay.

There she is.

- Mrs. Felson?

- No,

that girl I was telling you about.

She's following us.

Yeah, she follows us every day.

- Why didn't you tell me, Bertha!

- Because I didn't care.

Why do you even think

that she's so obsessed with us?

I don't know, ask her.

- Or are you scared of her, too?

- No.

Bertha, I am not scared of her.

- Yeah, whatever.

- I'm not scared.

- Excuse me.

- Hi!

Yes, hello, why are you following me?

- This is how I get to school.

- Really?

Then why have I never seen you

walk this way to school then?

Because I didn't start this school

until this year.

My name's Talia.

- I'm Fred...

- Fred.

I know.

- Well, we should get to school.

- Okie dokie.

Everybody have fun tonight

Won't everybody Wang Chung tonight

I said, everybody have fun tonight

She was actually really nice,

and she knew my name.

Stop. You're making me so jealous.

Everybody Wang Chung tonight

Bravo, Mr. Lebow. Bravo!

You're definitely

benefiting from the private lessons.

Yeah, but I was talented

already though, right?

You know, Kevin is my little advertisement

for my lessons.

But I was talented already.

Be like Kevin. Join the world with music.

Now, the piano recital is coming up,

and we all know what a big,

big deal that is, don't we?

A few lessons with me

and anyone will be ready for the recital.

I'm going to kick some piano butt

at that recital.

What's that even supposed to mean?

It means you should shut up!

All right, Kevin, why don't we give

somebody else a chance?

Fred,

- let's hear how your piece is coming.

- Okay, let's do it.

A duel.

Choose your weapon.

Fine.

Usually the bow comes after the piece.

We do things a little bit different

around here.

Okay, Fred, that was very interesting.

What is the name of that piece?

Fr Elise.

Doy-ta-doy, only the most famous

piece of music in the history of the world!

I can see how you would think that.

Well, not everybody is born

with natural talent.

Yeah, like me.

Well, just keep practicing.

I mean, the guy has no ear for music talent,

- obviously!

- Totally.

I'm sure your piece was the best.

I know, right? I mean,

to think that someone like Kevin

is better than me,

you have to be kidding me!

He's terrible. You're great.

Thank you. Well, we're here.

Hey, do you like cookies?

I made you a cookie in chemistry class.

You make cookies in chemistry class?

It's 100% chemicals.

All right.

Cool, that's really creative.

Well, thank you for walking me

all the way home.

You're welcome.

Did that crow just...

Talia?

What the H-E double hockey sticks

is going on here?

Is Talia imaginary? You saw her, right?

She's real, right?

Oh, my gammit, what if Talia's a ghost?

What's that noise?

I am a ghost, Fred.

But where are you from?

I was born in ancient times,

So what happened to you?

I loved to shop, so

I shopped till I dropped.

Now, I am doomed to walk among the living

until these fashionable shoes

go out of style.

Those shoes are pretty swank.

So you can actually die from shopping?

My story should serve as a lesson.

Always shop at a mall with a food court

so you won't starve.

That's so tragic.

I'm so sorry.

I'm good.

I'll get it.

- Okay.

- Fred!

Are you going to get the door... Doorbell?

Sorry, Ghost Talia said she's getting it.

Oh, my gosh. I wish I could afford

professional help for you.

Janet.

Hilda. What a

- fun outfit for relaxing at home.

- I just came from work.

My job.

You've heard of those? You go out

and tell the world that you mean something?

Well, my job is raising my family,

and it's a full-time job for me.

- Hey there, Fred.

- Hi.

You know, Kevin keeps mentioning

wanting a playdate with you.

I did not say that ever!

Hey, how's your husband?

He's fine.

As a matter of fact, it was his idea

for me to invite you

to this little welcoming party

we're having for the new music teacher,

Mr. Devlin, tonight.

Kind of short notice, don't you think?

I understand if you have plans!

- We don't.

- Good!

Good, great!

7:
00. Bye, Fred...

I am not going to a party at Kevin's house.

Fred, since your father left me,

it's been up to me to raise you on my own.

And believe me,

I've enjoyed every minute of it.

But with that comes a lot of sacrifice,

and part of that sacrifice is

not getting invited to a lot of parties.
