I got tricked into this by Charlie.

The sign-up sheet said pumpkin carving.

says candy basket fillers, no one shows up.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey! No, no, no.
Sorry, not that one. - What--hey!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
This is mine. - Why?
- 'Cause I live here! And I said so!
- And because it's the biggest bag.
- [chuckles] - My dad's motto is,
if the bag isn't big enough for him to fit inside,
then neither will all of his candy.
- I don't think so. [laughs] No, try again.
Mm, let it go.
Me and the Notorious B.A.G. we go way back.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I need to get in position to scare your momma.
Go on, move. Move, move, move, move, move.
- Seriously, Dad?
Couldn't you give that up this year?
- Rebecca, let me tell you something.
Your dad is a lot of things, but a quitter is not one of them.
Which is why I'mma hide up under the seat cushion.
Scare your momma when she come down to sit down.
- Yeah, that's not gonna work. - [laughs] Why not?

And second of all, the displacement of the cushion,
given your, uh, girth. - [forced laugh]
Rebecca. Oh, you think you can do better?

- Yeah, I bet me and Rebecca could scare Mrs. Wilson
before you and Booder do.

clean up after ourselves, he's going to eat us!

He just asked us to clean up our mess in a weird,
creepy kind of way.
