Okay, son, today you're gonna
learn how to possess an object.
It's a lot trickier
than possessing people.
I'm so ready for this, pops!
You can do it, Louie.
Woo!
Does she really have to be here?
Come on, Louie.
She did make T-shirts.
Man, I'm handsome!
Fine, she can stay.
So what object am I gonna be possessing?
A gargoyle? A skull?
No.
A cantaloupe.
Now, just do like your
ghost textbook says.
Breathe, concentrate
And think outside in.
Yeah, yeah.
Breathe, constipate
Blah, blah, blah.
Here I go.
This can't end well.
Duck!
I should've made a Louie bib.
Hey, it's harder than it looks.
It's okay, son.
Just keep studying.
Pop quiz.
Who's got four thumbs
and can't wait for the first
Preston-Hathaway family garage sale?
This guy!
Say "family scrapbook!"
No.
You do realize ghosts
don't show up in the photos,
so no one will even know
you're in the picture.
I'll know, Louie.
I'll know.
Miles, give me a hand with these boxes.
And you, no trying
possessions without me around.
I'm serious.
Bad things can happen
when you do this on your own.
Okay, I get it, Dad.
Here I go!
You're right, bad things can happen.
If you move into a haunted house.
You gotta try to work things out.
So if you're living
with a ghost or three.
You gotta be one
big, semi scary family.
Don't know how we ended up this way.
But I guess you could
call us The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
The Haunted Hathaways.
Ray, please talk to your son.
Louie's always hogging the bathroom,
practicing his ghost screams.
He likes how the echoes
make him sound more powerful.
Ugh! He's driving me crazy.
I wish he was more like Miles.
What up, Tay? Smile!
Aah!
Why can't I live with normal ghosts?
Ray, I appreciate you donating
so much stuff to the garage sale.
Well, with two families here,
we need to make space, right?
Mmm, space is good, so we're not
always getting in each other's business.
Are your prices too high?
You should adjust them.
They feel too high.
$200 for a broken fishing pole?
Hey, that rod broke during a
fight with a 20-pound catfish.
The story alone is worth the price.
I totally get it now.
I claim this pole and this rag
as the banner for my Castle.
Honey, we need those
boxes for our garage sale.
Could you please stop
expanding your empire?
A marshmallow cannon?
Frankie
Do it again.
I had a light breakfast.
Frankie, I can't believe
you're playing in a box fort.
What are you, like, two years old?
Oh, my gosh, my Nurse
Tammy Sparkle Bear!
Hugs are the best medicine.
Yeah, I'm the two-year-old.
I mean, you know, if Nurse
Tammy is even her name.
I certainly don't still
care about a stupid bear.
I'll be back for you.
All right, coast is clear.
Time for me to possess that peacock.
Frankie, you're gonna
want to watch this.
Yeah, I am.
Okay, then, here comes peacock time!
Yeah, look at me!
I'm the baddest, meanest
stuffed peacock in the whole
Why am I wearing girl shoes?
I hate to break it to you, big
guy, but you're Nurse Tammy.
Aah!
Kids get down here.
Louie, you better get out of
there before your Dad sees you.
I'm on it.
Getting out now.
Oh, no, it didn't work.
I'm stuck!
Frankie, if my Dad finds
out, I'm in big trouble.
Hmm.
Not only that, but
pink's not really your color.
Miles' baby clothes.
An entire box of baby bow ties?
You're welcome.
Those things are gonna go like hotcakes.
Nice clubs, right?
I can tell you're a guy who
appreciates fine craftsmanship.
I'll give you 20.
Wow.
Buddy, we're not even gonna
dignify that offer with a
Deal!
Whoa, I marked those 500!
I would have sold 'em for 10.
You making fun of me?
No.
I
Have issues.
This is bad.
This is very bad!
Louie, stop panicking!
I'm gonna get you out of there.
We just need to remain
calm and act rationally.
Ow! Ow! Ow-ow-ow!
Did it work? You still in there?
Yes!
You are messed up!
Put me down.
Oh, man, my Dad's
gonna ground me forever.
Promise me you won't
say anything, Frankie.
Hey, I'm no snitch.
I
take care of my friends.
Unless they cross me.
Wait, what about your ghost text book?
That'll tell us what to do.
Stay here.
I'm wearing Princess shoes.
Where am I going?
What are you looking at?
Uh-oh.
Michelle, these are collector's items.
I couldn't possibly sell
them for less than
Why, is there $49 in them?
Aw, Taylor's old Nurse Sparkle Bear.
What do you think we could get for this?
I mean, it's not unwashed
gym socks or anything.
Nurse Tammy
Where'd you go?
Louie, I got the
Hey.
Hey, Frankie.
What up?
Not much.
So have you seen that stupid
bear laying around anywhere?
He I mean, she was
just here a minute ago.
Wait, Mom and Ray have been carrying
boxes down to the yard sale all day.
You don't think
- Tammy!
- Louie!
I mean Tammy.
Mom, please tell me you
grabbed my bear doll.
- You'll be happy to know that I did.
- Ooh.
And I sold it to the cutest little girl.
Aah!
It was like taking candy from a baby.
Mostly because she paid me in candy.
Gumdrop?
No? Well
Oh, no, Penelope Pritchard.
They call her "crazy doll girl".
I'm "they".
You know her?
She's in my class.
She supposedly has over
Total wacko.
I wuv my new dolly so much.
I'm gonna hug woo and
kiss woo forever and ever.
Get away.
So gross!
This nurse is feisty.
Hey, Penelope.
Well, if it isn't Francesca Hathaway.
Look, Petunia Peabody, or whatever your
name is, we're gonna need the doll back.
It belongs to me.
Really? Because I have a
receipt that says otherwise.
Au revoir.
Aah! Save me!
Frankie, help me!
No
So you're saying Louie's
stuck in my Nurse Tammy doll?
Ah man, Louie was possessing
without supervision?
Dad is going to freak.
Dad is not gonna find
out.
I promised my friend.
We have to rescue him
without any parents knowing.
Are you suggesting a secret mission,
complete with maps and code names?
Miles, no one said anything about a
You're T-Money, I'm Saber Tooth,
and, Frankie, you're "The Scar".
I'm kinda digging that.
Can we just focus and
come up with a plan?
We need to work together to save Tammy.
And Louie.
Totally
concerned about him too.
I'm with T-Money on this.
We have to work as a team.
So what's our first move?
Gimme a sec.
- Wheels turning.
- Mm hmm.
- Plan forming.
- Mm hmm.
Brain braining.
I love it when she gets the crazy eyes.
It reminds me that we're sisters.
I got it.
Everybody in the fort.
Okay.
This fort is amazing.
Eh, it's okay.
Flan?
No Flan!
Okay, here's the plan.
Frankie gets invited to Penelope's
house for a doll tea party.
Tea party? Barf!
But it's for Louie, so I'll do it.
While barfing.
Once inside, Frankie distracts
Penelope while Miles and I
While Saber Tooth and I
Sneak in the window, locate
Tammy, and get her out of there.
Kids, you in there?
We're busted! Quick, everyone panic!
Louie? You in there?
You haven't helped out all day.
Not that that's unusual, but still
Louie? You in there?
Uh hey, Dad.
What's up? I'm Louie.
Just hanging here with Miles and
the girls, scrap booking and stuff.
Also
I'm Louie.
Oh, my gosh, Ray.
They're getting
along.
Let's not mess with a good thing.
Have fun, kids.
But come help out
with the sale when you're done!
Business is boomin'!
Because someone is selling my fingerless
gloves for way under the $200 asking price.
Okeydoke.
See ya later, says Louie.
Miles, that's brilliant.
If you stay here and imitate us, our
parents will never know we're gone.
Yeah.
So what you're saying is, I'm a crucial
member of this secret mission team?
Yes, Miles.
I'm sorry.
Yes, who?
Yes, Saber Tooth.
Time to bust out of here.
You in, Skipper Sam?
I'm bathtub safe!
That's the fourth time you said that!
I am not gonna miss you.
Coming, dollies.
Tea party time.
Oh, man.
Now or never.
Uh!
Ow! My ankle!
Must get to window.
Can't move my leg.
Uh
More silly talk?
Guess I need to check your batteries.
Where's that latch?
Ah! Cold hands! Watch it.
Hey, hey! That doesn't open.
Oh, goodie, my play date is here.
Hee hee!
Hello, Penelope.
Welcome to Penelope
Pritchard's playhouse.
Isn't it doll-lightful?
Oh, boy.
I do declare, Frankie Hathaway,
I was so surprised to hear that
you were a fellow doll lover.
Why? Because people think it's so lame?
Duh what's wrong
with those people, right?
This doesn't look like a room
belonging to a lunatic at all.
Oh, well, look at that.
You are just in time for afternoon tea.
Alfred, please help
Frankie with her chair.
Wait, isn't Nurse Tammy gonna join us?
Oh, Frankie.
Don't be a silly goose.
Nurse Tammy can't come to tea.
She has a double shift at the hospital.
Of course, because that makes sense.
Hey, Penny, how about
a little tea refill?
Oh!
Right away!
I got an idea.
Try popping off an arm.
Penelope's?
A little outside the box, but I'm in.
The ballerina doll!
Then she'll have to get "Nurse Louie".
Oh.
I like the other way better.
Uh!
Oh, no! Your ballerina doll
must be allergic to tea.
Her arm fell off!
We need nurse, stat.
I'll get the nurse.
You stay by the patient's
side and keep her calm.
Wow.
Did somebody page nurse
Coco Crocodile?
No.
Nobody paged her.
How many nurses do you have on staff?
Just this room or the whole house?
$75 for a hairbrush?
Uh-uh.
Out of the question.
I still have baby hairs in that brush.
You're right, Tay.
This garage sale was a great idea.
Our parents are so smart.
Guys, it's time to get
downstairs and help out.
Shh.
The kids are saying I'm smart.
- Actually, they said both of us
- Shh, shh.
You're right.
We sure are lucky kids.
Yes, not everyone's
parents are as cool as ours.
We should tell them that more often.
What?
I wish I didn't have to go to school,
just so I could hang out with my Mom.
I better check Frankie for a fever.
Ha ha.
Fooled you guys.
I would never want to
hang out with my Mom.
Okay, she's fine.
Well, since they're playing nicely,
we should leave well enough alone.
Hm.
Great work, Miles.
How about a hug?
I'd like that.
Hold on, Tina Tutu!
You will dance again.
Scalpel.
I'm not leaving here alive, am I?
Taylor?
Yeah, I'm here to save Tammy!
I mean you, heh.
Uh, give me your hand.
What was that?
Doctor! The patient's flat-lining.
Oh! You're really getting into this.
- What now, Dr.
Frankie?
- Um
We need a plunger.
A plunger?
Focus, woman.
Do you want
to question me or save lives?
Sorry about your doll.
I was practicing a ghosting skill,
but, like always, I just messed it up.
You wouldn't understand.
Actually, I kind of do.
Do you know how many lamps I broke learning
back handsprings in the living room?
Tons.
So you're not mad?
I can't be mad at
someone for practicing.
Now, come on, Louie.
Let's get you out of there.
But I don't know how.
Face it, Taylor.
- It's hopeless.
- Hey
Where's the guy who always tells
us he's the greatest ghost ever?
The guy who's always
screaming in my bathroom.
This is your chance
to prove who you are.
You need to decide
Are you an awesome ghost
or a nurse in a dress?
I
Am not
A nurse!
You're doing it!
Almost there! Now jump out!
It's Louie time!
Rah!
I did it! Oh, yeah.
Now take a look at me, y'all.
I just jumped right out of this doll.
And now I'm done
with all this glitter.
Because I'm a scary
ghost, and I ain't no quitter.
I'm Louie.
If you're done, I could use some help.
- We're coming, Tina Tutu!
- Hurry, hurry.
Wait, what about your Tammy doll?
Leave it.
Getting you back
is all that really mattered.
You just earned yourself
a Team Louie T-shirt.
Now, where were we?
You know what I just remembered?
I'm not a Doctor.
Au revoir!
What a weirdo.
It's like I'm always saying;
Lemon juice can't get
a stain out of cashmere.
But it sure is fun to try!
Oh, Miles.
Lol, bro.
Zinger!
Miles, what'd I tell you?
My plan worked perfect.
Hello, parents.
What is going on?
I think I know.
Hello, parents.
Flan?
Anyone care to explain?
You're up, T-Money.
Um, so, long story short
Louie got stuck in Sparkle
Bear, secret rescue mission,
crazy doll girl, ballerina
operation, trapped in a window.
Louie jumped out of
the doll.
Back safely!
Yeah.
You know what's scary?
That all made sense to me.
Son, what did I tell you about
possessing when I'm not around?
Um, I think it was not to.
Well, I hope you kids really do like
spending time together, because
- For the next two weeks
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
You're grounded.
That means no TV.
And no throwing mud balls over the
back fence and yelling, "brown rain".
Hey! First family punishment.
Everyone say, "busted!"
Busted!
