Mostly Ghostly 3: One Night in Doom House Page #3

---

Mr. Drake?

Are you in here?

Hello?

Anybody?

Anybody?

Hello?

Mr. Drake?

My name is Max.

Max Doyle. I just wanted

to talk to you for a second.

Is anybody here?

Hello? Mr. Drake?

What's a baby doing

in a place like this?

Hey...

It's okay, Max is here.

Everything's going to be okay.

You're the one

making all this noise?

Max, get a grip. Nobody's here.

Just go home...

Great.

Come on!

Somebody let me

outta here! Help me!

Help! Let me outta here!

I told you I heard

somebody in here.

Hey, kid.

What are you

doing in my coffin?

Your coffin?

Yeah.

It's for this week's show.

You'd better not have messed this up.

This cost us a fortune.

Just exactly what are you

doing in here, young man?

This is a closed set,

crew members only.

Well, I need to talk to Mr. Drake.

Yeah? What do you want?

Want me to sign your

autograph book or something?

Beverly, give him a head shot.

You want a head shot?

Give him a head shot.

No, no, it's not like that.

It's kind of personal.

Mr. Drake is a very busy,

very important man.

He doesn't have time

for your nonsense, okay?

So, off you go.

Now!

Yes, ma'am.

Did you touch this?

You know, it'd be a lot

scarier if it creaked.

What?

What?

The coffin. If the hinges

creaked, it'd be a lot scarier.

How?

Like this.

Here, try it now.

Fine.

You've got five minutes.

So let me get this straight,

you're saying

you have two ghosts

in your house?

Yeah. Nicky and Tara.

Felicia!

Yes, Mr. Drake?

This mirror is filthy.

But I just cleaned it.

Clean it again.

More dust. And they're trying

to find their parents, what?

Yeah, that's what I've

been trying to tell you.

Felicia!

Yes, Mr. Drake?

Increase the volume

on this thing.

But it's already up to 11,

Mr. Drake.

Really?

Well, I want it at 12, okay?

L want that little doll to

scare the crap outta people.

Crap! You got it?

And you say the parents

are stuck in the where-where?

Well, the elsewhere.

Which is where?

Well, we don't really know where.

That's why I'm here.

To help you

find the elsewhere.

Yeah, and Nicky

and Tara's parents.

The ghost kids

haunting the house?

Right.

Right. Rat!

Does that look real to you?..

I'm going to ask you

a serious question,

-and I don't want you to lie to me, okay?

-Okay.

Are you nuts?

What? No.

Leticia!

L thought her

name was Felicia.

Yeah, they rhyme,

whatever.

Well, if you just come to my

house, you could see for yourself.

Your water, Mr. Drake.

I hope it's room

temperature this time.

Yes, Mr. Drake.

Listen, kid, do you know how many

people ask me to come to their house

and help them look for ghosts?

Hello.

More web there

and there, okay?

And it's always

the same thing.

Moaning sounds at night?

Wind through a drafty window.

Spirits floating

up in your attic?

Dusty cobwebs.

Ghostly specter

down by the lake?

Swamp gas...

Eyes need to be brighter.

Legs? Leggier.

And I end up standing there

with my camera crew,

looking like

a complete idiot.

So that's why you do

all this fake stuff?

Ex-squeeze me? No.

We call it, "enhancing the

experience for the home audience."

So none of this is real?

It's real enough to be the

number one ghost reality show on TV.

And I have no slime.

-Does that look like slime to you?

-I mean...

Look, you came all the way down here,

all right. Let me give you a picture.

Take it home, show your family,

show your friends, okay?

No, my ghosts are real.

I can see them and I can talk to them.

Come on, you gotta believe me.

Kid, the only things

i believe in are ratings.

Enough with the plinking!

All plinked out.

Look, here's my address.

Please, Mr. Drake.

You gotta help us.

You're our only hope.

Are you giving me

my picture back?

Please.

What was that all about?

I don't know, Beverly.

They're fans. They're loony,

but they're loyal.

And Beverly?

More slime!

Just when you think you have

enough, add more! Yeah.

Can't we just hire

movers or something?

Well, your mother wants

to start the renovation now,

so we need to empty this room now.

All right, all right.

Careful! Careful.

I got it.

Okay.

All right.

So what's the plan?

Well, if they can't renovate the

house, they can't sell it, right?

Let's get

the chair now...

So we'd better make sure

they don't even get started.

Right, on three.

One, two,

threesy-peasy!

You're not

even lifting, dad.

What are you talking about,

I've got the heavy end.

That's 'cause you are the heavy end.

All right,

good play, son!

See, I was doing old school, and

you were doing new school, and...

Yeah.

But hey, we're renovating.

I thought you...

Didn't I tell you to put

that in the other room?

I thought I did move it.

Never mind. I'm going

to go get the ladder.

You get

the picture your mother made,

and whatever you do,

don't drop it.

We don't want her

taking up painting again.

I don't know whether to

use my back or my legs.

What the...

Stupid plant.

Get up.

Colin, why did you

move this back in here?

I didn't, dad! I didn't do anything.

This is your

mother's favorite plant.

What?

Come on.

Help me move the sofa.

Today.

Yeah.

You get that end.

Okay, one, two,

threesy-peasy!

Okay, okay. Okay. Okay.

What are you doing?

Put your back into it!

You gave me

the heavy end, again.

What are you talking about?

I've got the heavy end.

Yeah? Okay, so switch.

Okay.

We'll switch.

All right,

this is going nowhere.

Must be some sort of weird

barometric pressure thing.

What?

Here.

Spread this out over top.

We'll paint around it.

John!

Yes?

I need your help.

Coming, dear!

"Coming, dear."

What the...

Hey!

Hey, hey, what the...

Colin!

If you don't stop

fooling around, young man,

we're never going

to sell this house.

What?

Why?

Cammie!

Hi, Max.

Hi. How are you?

Good, good. How about you?

Great. Really great.

So, you enjoying our break?

Max, do we really have

to talk about this?

Well, I just thought maybe if

you'd changed your mind...

Hey.

Aaron.

Hey, Max.

See any ghosts lately?

Just give me

a minute, Aaron.

We're gonna be late for rehearsal.

Okay, in a minute.

We don't have a minute.

If we're gonna win tonight's

contest, every second counts.

Ithought

the dance contest was off

because you didn't

get the entry fee?

It was, but Aaron's dad

gave us the money.

Really.

Wasn't that nice of him.

All right, Aaron.

Well, I hope you and your dance

partner are very happy together.

Max, it's not like that.

Really? 'Cause that's

what it looks like to me.

This is Simon Drake

coming to you live

from doom house.

This is Simon Drake,

coming to you

live from doom house!

Okay, we're going to need

some more slime there, and...

Yeah, that's looking good, but,

maybe more. More slime. Simon!

Do you want to come up here

and check this out?

In a minute!

Hey, should I emphasize

"doom" or "house"?

Whatever you'd like, Simon.

It's your show.

Doom...

Doom. Doom.

Doom. Doom! Doom!

House. House! House.
