Mm-hmm.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Into the unknown.
Good-bye! Thank you, Old Lady Daniels.
Good-bye, Gregory, and please don't call me Old Lady.
Yes, sir, young man.
- Hey, Wirt, whatcha doing? - Nothing.
I was helping Old Lady Daniels
rake some leaves in exchange for candy.
Greg, it's Halloween. Candy is free.
Old Lady Daniels says nothing in this world is free.
Oh, hey, and look! I also got this rock.
Hey, Wirt, want to learn some rock facts?
So, you want to go look for frogs with me like
you said you would awhile ago and haven't done it yet?
Nah. I'm busy.
Is that bee named Sara?
W-what?
Your tape says, "For Sara."
You gonna give it to Sara the bee?
I-I want to, but I can't.
Can I see it?
Yeah. It's just a tape.
Hmm. Yeah. OK. I'll give it to her for you.
Oh, Greg! W-wait! No, no!
Oh, look at you. What are you supposed to be?
It's an elephant costume.
Pbbt! See my trunk?
- Yeah. That's cute. - I'm an egg.
Yeah. Everybody knows you're an egg, Rhondi.
- Shut it, Kathleen. - Whatever.
So, what are you, Wirt, some kind of gnome?
Uh, I d... I don't know. Well, it's...
See, I was... I thought I'd just, like...
Hey, what's this?
That's Wirt's tape for Sara.
Ooh! Wirt loves Sara!
You want us to give it to her for you?
It's for a different Sara,
not the one you're thinking about.
Yeah, Wirt's talking about mascot Sara,
the one he's been looking at all night.
What?
- Ooh! Wirt's got a crush on Sara. - Ha ha ha!
Well, you better act fast 'cause we heard
Jason Funderberker is gonna ask her out
at the Halloween party tonight.
Jason Funderberker?
Yeah.
But I... but, um...
You OK, Wirt?
Yeah. Everything’s... everything's Jason Funderberker.
- What? - What?
Uh, uh, Jason Funderberker. I-I got to go.
Bye!
Is the dove never to meet the sea
for want of the odious mountain?
- Hey. So... frog hunt? - Huh?
I keep hearing ribbiting around town,
and I think it's the last frog of the season.
No. I just want to wallow in misery.
Sara and Jason Funderberker. Ach.
That guy's got his act together.
He's the total package. I can't compete.
You're the total package too, Wirt.
I bet she'll really like your tape.
We never got the tape back! I can't let her hear that tape!
Why not?
That tape has got poetry
and clarinet on it, Greg. Poetry and clarinet!
Sara and Jason Funderberker are gonna start dating,
and then they'll hear that tape, and then they'll just sit
and listen to it and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Why don't you ask Sara out first? That way...
No, no! Ugh!
Why did you have to take the tape?
My life is crumbling all around me!
OK. I think we should put our frog hunt on hold
and go get that tape back.
Guys, where's the tape?
We put it in Sara's jacket for you.
- Aah! - You better hurry.
She's changing in the track shack.
- Ha ha ha! - Wxcuse me. Oh, no.
The jacket!
Hey! Are you trying to spy on Sara?
Uh... no. Run, Greg!
Hey, Sara, be careful, huh?
There's some real creeps out there tonight.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Hey, you two robbers, you're under arrest.
Nah, I'm just kidding. Happy Halloween.
Heyl Stop running in the streetsl.
Just kidding. Happy Halloween.
There she goes. Let's get her.
Yeah. Let's get her.
No. W-we're not gonna get her like that.
- What are we doing? - We're just gonna get the tape back.
Oh, yeah. Let's go in after her.
Oh, I can't. I wasn't invited to this party.
- I'll go in. - You weren't invited, either.
- Oh. - Yeah, man, there's lots of
bat-and-ball games besides baseball... one old cat, two old cat,
stoolball, roundball...
Why are you talking to them?
Aah!
Oh. Hey, guys.
I don't know what he said, but I-it wasn't true.
- Oh, hey, Wirt. How's it going? - Hi, Wirt.
Oh. Uh, yeah. Well, see you around, guys.
I used to be really good at ballet,
but my mom wanted me to be a wrestler.
- Oh, Wirt. You're here. - Well, I...
I was just asking if you were here.
Oh, wow. Heh.
Oh, hey, we're gonna go to the graveyard.
Oh. Are you gonna do something there?
Nah. We're just gonna hang out
and drink age-appropriate drinks.
- Like juice? - Yeah, whatever.
Age-appropriate stuff that's not illegal.
- Hey, you should come. - Uh, I don't...
Hey, Sara, are you ready to go?
Hey, Jason Funderberker.
Oh, hey, Wirt.
Let's go, Sara. Ohh...
- You coming, Wirt? - No, no.
You... You go have fun with Jason Funderberker.
OK, but if you want to stop by later or something...
Mm. Bye, Wirt.
Sayonara, Jason Funderberker.
Sara's jacket!
My jacket. Thanks, Wirt. Well, see you, hopefully.
Bye. Ohh...
You're limiting the universe
to only things humans can understand.
Well, you're limiting the universe
by limiting the possibility of human understanding.
Oh, yeah. Maybe.
- Sara? - Yeah?
Do you believe in ghosts?
Why?
'Cause there's one right behind you!
Aw, I'm just kidding.
It's OK, Funderberker.
- Ha ha ha! - Stop! You hit me!
Come on.
Wirt, you tricked me!
I didn't know this was a frog hunt all along.
It never was a...
A witches' gathering!
And so then a guy with an axe showed up!
Ugh. Everybody loves Funderberker.
What do I do?
I'll pretend to be a dead elephant and distract them
while you get the tape.
Please just stay here.
And so she kept getting closer and closer.
- What are you doing? - Jason.
Oh, Jason.
- Go, Greg. Do it. - OK.
Uh, you can let go of my hand now.
Oh, yeah.
You could hold my hand, Funderberker. I don't care.
Whooooo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!
Hey, isn't that Wirt's little brother?
Nooooo.
I'm the headless elephant.
Little guy. Ha ha ha!
Is Wirt here, too?
Over there!
- Huh! - There he is.
- Wirt, we can see you, man. - Oh, Greg.
Oh. Hey, guys. Greg! There you are.
Totally wasn't spying on anybody.
I was just looking for...
- What's going on here? - Huh?
Is this some kind of witches' gathering?
You're all under arrest.
- Eun! - Hey, hey! I was just kidding.
Slow down, kids. You're gonna trip or something.
Run, run, run! Run, run, run!
Where do we go?
That way!
Greg, why did you say this way?
I thought I heard a frog.
- This is private property. - Uh...
Hey, don't climb up there. That's dangerous!
Get down here before you hurt yourself!
- Huh? - It has my name on it.
- Ohh... - Let's go listen to it.
- Ha ha ha! - Noooooooooooo!
Kids, really, get down from that wall.
That's it. That's the end.
Oh, darn it. No. I mean come down this way.
- Ooh! - Ooh!
Oh, once again, you ruin my life.
Who? Me?
Ugh! You and your stupid dad!
You're always prodding me,
trying to get me to join marching band.
Oh, yeah!
If you join the marching band, you can hang out with Sara more!
That ship has sailed, Greg,
thanks to you messing that up, too.
Hold that thought, Wirt. Hmm.
What are you doing now?
Ha ha! We found our lucky frog.
We got to name him for good luck.
I don't want to have anything to do with your or that frog!
OK. I'll try to think of a name myself.
Ugh. I'm leaving.
Hmm?
Huh?
Aah!

Oh. You're awake. Here. Wat some dirt.
Uh, Beatrice?
You know my daughter! Where is she?
I don't know.
Somebody left you and that frog on the doorstep.
Beatrice.
But have you seen my brother?
- No, I'm sorry. - I gotta go!
You're in no shape to head into that snowstorm, young man.
Here, here. Wat more dirt.
Thanks. Come on, guy. Let's go find Greg.
At least wait until the storm dies down a bit.
You'll be no good to your brother dead.
I was never any good to him alive, either.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
If you see Beatrice again, give her a hug for us.
Yeah.
