Ms. Chalice, what's our number one rule?
[in unison] No fun of any kind.
Exactly.
[bell rings]
That's lunch.
[children clamoring]
Oh, lunch! [chuckles nervously]
I'd love to stay and chat,
but that gruel isn't gonna eat itself.
Not so fast.
Lunch is only for children

Now, scrub that floor.

That's when I knew
it was time for a change.
[giggles nervously]
And just what do you think you're doing?!
Uh…

Young lady, you have just
three seconds to get down from there.

What a charming little dance.
[Ms. Chalice] And just like that,
everything changed.

[Ms. Chalice] That's when I realized

[Ms. Chalice groans]
What happened?
Where am I?
I feel so strange.
[gasps]
[gasps]
I'm a g-g-g-g-ghost!
[Devil] That's right.
You're a g-g-g-g-ghost.
I'm afraid it was just your time.
What? My time? But that's not fair.
Everything was finally coming up Chalice!
File.
-File. [snaps fingers]
-Oh!
[grunts]
Yes, yes. Pity.
Let's just take a look
at your file, shall we?
Ooh!
What's this?
Charming people into
giving you things for free
through song and dance.
[chuckles nervously]
You know, I'm a bit
of a song-and-dance man myself.
Impressive, Ms. Chalice.
It's just this little thing I do.
Hey, listen, I really should be going.
Stay a while, won't you?
After all, how do you expect to dance
without feet?
So I'm gonna be like this forever?
Mm-hmm.
Unless you'd like to make a deal?
I could offer you a second chance.
To be normal again?
Well, you'd still be a ghost,
but you'd have the ability to turn into
your living form any time you want.
Okay! Sure!
[Devil] There is one more thing.
You'd owe me a favor
to be named at a later date.
Deal?
Deal!
[sizzling]
[Ms. Chalice yelps, blows]
[gasps]
[tap dancing]
[laughs]
Hey, it works!
Of course.
But don't forget you owe me a favor.
Well, I best be hittin' the bricks.
[chuckles]
[Devil] Uh-uh-uh.
Wallet.
Aw, you got me. [chuckles awkwardly]
[chuckles]
Yes. I've got you.
[cackles]
Okay, off you go. [snaps fingers]
[chuckles]
Uh… Hey, where's my wallet?
-[crowd chattering]
-Poor little thing.
Ah, what a shame.
-[Ms. Chalice] Hiya!
-[gasp]
-What's everybody lookin' at?
-[scream]
Ain't you never seen anyone
come back from the dead before?
-[piano plays lively tune]
-[tap dancing]
[Ms. Chalice] Again,
everything was comin' up Chalice.
[man] Hey!
[whistle blows]
You gonna pay for that?
[chuckles] Ah!
Get back here!

[Ms. Chalice] That was the day
I met the two ding-dongs.
Come to think of it,
that was the first day
I started lookin' out for someone
who wasn't number one.
They're my best friends.
Heck, they're my only friends.
-[thud]
-[elevator bell rings]
Uh, okay, we're here.
Good luck.

[sinister organ music plays]
Hey again, Devil. Been a while.
Say, you look fantastic.
You seem to be getting younger
and younger. [chuckles nervously]
Ms. Chalice, charming as always.
Looks like you've been having
quite a time up there.
I see you've made some friends.
Just a couple of ding-dongs.
You'd love 'em. [chuckles]
[Devil] Yes. That's precisely
what I'd like to speak with you about.
It's time to cash in on
that favor you owe me.
Sure. What do you need?
I need you to betray
the ding-dongs.
