02x03 - The Tale of Locker 22

[bunniefuu]

[Child laughs]

[Muffled heartbeat]

An a* m*rder*r
with blood dripping

from her
grizzly w*apon...

Or a mummy wrapped
in rotten bandages.

What about
a razor-sharp hook

where her hand
should be?

No, no.

A zombie
with sunken eyes

and all
stifflike.

Sounds like
Kristen's up tonight.

We're trying
to guess what act

she's going
to pull to scare us.

I liked it
when she dressed up

as the prom queen.

Whatever it is,
i hope she gets here soon.

[Crunching sound]

Whoa!

Peace, love... duh.

Hey, where did
you get that stuff?

Up in the attic.

I, uh,
think my parents

were old hippies
or something.

Here.

Groovy, man.

And... here.

Whoa! Sock it to me.

What's this got to do
with your story?

There's an old saying
that goes,

if you don't learn
from the past,

you'll be doomed
to repeat it.

My story's
a little different.

In my tale, if you don't
learn from the present,

you'll repeat the past...

And meet your doom.

Submitted for the approval
of the Midnight Society.

I call this story...

We haven't put anyone

out here for years,

but we're busting

at the Seams.

I don't know where

all these kids
come from.

Locker --
home, sweet home.

Um...

It's kind of far
from things.

Are you complaining?

No.

Look, I've been here

far too long to take
grief from a transfer

who's only been here
minutes.

I'm sorry.
This will be fine.

Good. Welcome to Derby,
Miss Dufaux.

[Windlike sound]

Now, carefully...

Suck the liquid
into the pipette like so...

And hold your finger
on the end

so that it doesn't run out.

Simple.

Don't do that.

[Bell rings]

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

Next time...

We do it with acid.

Ooh, tasty.

Keep moving, bozos.

Hey, you OK?

Yes.

Hi. I'm Chris.
Are you new here?

Yeah.

It's no biggie.
What's your name?

Julie.

I never worked
with things

like this at
my old school.

Oh. Where
are you from?

Paris.

My parents came here
for business.

Oh. Well,
don't sweat it.

You'll pick it up.
You get lost yet?

Everybody does at first.
This place is huge.

Hey, what's
your next class?

Um... art.

You know how
to get there?

Uh-uh.

Come on. I'll show you.

Thanks.

You scared me.

I thought
everybody left.

Hey, let's go.

I'm coming.

Donny, what do you
think of the new girl?

I don't know.

Kind of weird,
Fritz.

Weird.

See what happened
in chemistry?

No. No, what?

Well...

She had
this straw thing

and she sucked up
the water...

Yeah. Then what?

Well, then she
sort of did this.

[Students yelling]

[Students]
Food fight! Food fight!

All right. That's all!

Oh!

I said, that's all!

Both of you,
my office--now!

Did I say something

about giving me grief,
Miss Dufaux?

But, sir, I didn't--

If you're
a troublemaker,

you've crossed paths
with the wrong man.

What are you looking at?

[Windlike sound]

Don't do that.

What do you want?

Look, I'm getting
tired of...

Hey, Julie.
Wait up.

Where are you going?

Hey, Julie,
what's your hurry?

I have to go.

Listen, I heard
what happened

with those guys at
lunch. Forget them.

Come on.
You just started.

You burn out now, you're
not going to make it.

Hey, you OK?

I, uh...

I saw something.

What?

Um...

I saw...

You saw...

Oh, forget it.

Come on, Julie.
What did you see?

You promise
not to laugh?

Cross my heart.

Look, I know
this sounds crazy,

but I think
I saw a ghost.

A ghost?

Forget
I said anything.

Aw, Julie.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Oooohhhh... I'm the
ghost of Derby High,

and I'm coming to haunt
you, Julie. Beware!

Leave me alone!

Whoa!

Thanks a lot.

What's the matter?

I trusted you, and you had to
tell everybody what I told you.

Julie, I didn't--

You're worse than those
jerks in the cafeteria,

because you pretend
to be nice.

Wait a minute.

I should have
seen you coming.

Julie, I only told
one person.

I didn't know they were
going to make it news.

Well, they did.

Now everybody thinks I'm
the crazy new foreign kid.

I did it
for a reason, OK?

I'm sure. Hope you all
got a good laugh.

Man!

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean
to scare you,

although
I didn't think

anything
could scare you.

That's because
you're a ghostbuster.

Stop it.

Ooooohhhh!

Oh, beware, beware!

Leave me alone!

Boo! Ha ha!

Who are you?

[Sitar music playing]

Candy, those beads
are so far out!

What did you call me?

I'm sorry,
moondance.

This necklace is,
like, boss.

Whoa!

Cool, cool.

I'm waiting, Miss Warren.

[Bell rings]

Peace out, man.

We have to talk.

Look, I'm sorry
about what happened.

That's all I can say.

You said you told
someone about what I saw

for one reason.
What was it?

What?

Look, there's
been stuff

going around about a ghost
haunting this place for years.

I know somebody
who knows somebody

who said they saw it.

That's all.

I didn't mean
to embarrass you.

Wait. I want to
show you something.

Look, I got to go,
all right?

Please? You owe me.

Right here.

Look. Whoever
had my locker before

put a flower sticker
there.

See that?

Yeah.

This necklace--
I found it in my locker.

It must have belonged
to the same person.

Yeah. So?

Look around.

The paint is old--

like nothing has been
done for years. Right?

Look, I'm sorry
about those guys

giving you
a hard time,

but you're getting a little
spooky on me, all right?

Spooky?

You haven't
seen anything yet.

Aah!

What happened?
How did you do that?

I don't know.

It happened
to me before

when I put on
this necklace.

It's like
I jump back in time.

[Girl]
Candy.

Who's this?

You don't know him?

No. Are you new?

[Sitar music playing]

I don't know.

You don't know.

If he figures it out,
invite him over tonight.

I got the Beatles
white album. Bye!

Beatles white album?

Look at this.

See? This is my locker.

This is the flower.

Candy. That girl
called you Candy.

Miss Warren.

Shaffner?

Mr. Shaffner.

Who are you?

Um... I'm...

I'm new.

Learn some manners.

And now, Miss Warren.

Not tomorrow,
not next week. Now!

But--

No buts.

I'll stay
late today to help.

But if
your chemistry project

isn't done by :,

you'll be staring
at a big, fat "F"

and summer school.
You dig?

Yes.

Groovy. I'll meet you
in the lab.

Groovy?

Something strange
happened, Chris.

Yeah. Tell me
about it.

That was Shaffner,
but he was--

he was young.

I know.

It's like if we're back
in the sixties.

How could that happen?

You said it was
your necklace.

Take it off.

Oh, man!

Oh, man,
this is wild.

It is
the necklace.

It has some kind
of power.

Candy. That girl
called you Candy.

Who is Candy?

I don't know,
but we can find out.

Come on.

Hey, come here.

You see,
I'm checking ,

when the white album
came out.

Bingo.

What?

Candy Warren--
locker .

Yeah, that was
her locker, all right.

Who was she?

I don't get it.
Why isn't she here?

Check
the next year again.

I checked three times.
She isn't here.

There.

That's her.

That's the ghost.

This is real, isn't it?

I guess. We can't
both be crazy.

Why is Candy
showing herself to me,

and why do they
think I'm Candy?

I don't know.

Whatever's
going on here,

we can't handle it,
all right?

Well, what do we do?

I don't know.

I feel like
she's trying

to tell me
something, Chris.

This is happening
for a reason.

Maybe. Come on.

Let's get out
of here.

I have to get my books.
Let's talk tonight.

OK. Later.

Mr. Radeau.

Chris,
you're here late.

Mr. Radeau, you've
been teaching here,

like, forever, right?

Yeah, I suppose
years is forever to you.

Did you know
a Candy Warren?

Candy Warren.

Haven't thought
of her in years.

Sure, I knew her.

Sweet girl.

Such a tragedy.

Well, how did she die?

Was she, like, sick
or something?

Heavens, no.

It was
a horrible accident.

What, a car crash?

No, it happened
right here.

At Derby?

Miss Warren--now!

She was staying late
after school

on some chemistry
project or something.

Apparently she got
a little careless...

And there was an
expl*si*n and fire and...

It's hard to even
think about it now.

Why do you ask?

Who was her teacher?

Ooh, that was
many years ago. I--

I don't...

Thanks, Mr. Radeau.

Oh, wait.

It was
Mr. Shaffner.

Before he became
assistant principal,

he worked in the
chemistry department.

Nice of you
to join me.

Julie!

Julie.

Julie.

Julie!

[Mr. Shaffner]
Sit.

Worksheets,
thermometer, beakers...

And a pipette
for measuring.

Swell.

Could you, um...

Explain what we're doing?

We're identifying
compounds

by determining
their melting points.

Or would you
like to skip

right to
summer school now?

No, no.

I want to try.

How do I do this?

That's what this test
is about now, isn't it?

I'll give you
a little hint.

Turn on the gas
and light the burner.

After that
you're on your own.

I'll be back
in minutes.

Whoa! Candy.

Um, is Julie
in the past?

[Gas hissing]

I hate this stuff.

Listen, Candy.
She's going to die.

You got to stop her.

Wet.

Julie!

Hey, no running.

Come on, man. Julie
-- I mean Candy--

Candy's in trouble.

She certainly is.

She's going to flunk.
Bummer!

Come on, man.
Let me go.

Man, let me go!

Who are you, anyway?

I'm your future,
pal.

Let go!

Julie!

What are you doing?

Yes. What were
you doing?

If you think
you can--

Stop. Just stop! Look at
this. It's rotted through.

If you'd have put
fire into this,

the whole place
would have gone up.

Hey, don't you check your
equipment, Mr. Shaffner?

My God!

You could
have been k*lled.

I don't know
what to say.

Say you're in
the wrong line of work.

Thank God
you saw this.

If you hadn't...

I would have been toast.

So that's
how Candy d*ed.

Yeah. I saw her.
She brought me back.

Oh, man!

Come here.

Ahem!

Can I ask what
you're doing here so late?

I, um...

I was helping her
with her locker.

It's stuck.

At least,
it was stuck.

Oh, I know. It used to stick
for me all the time, too.

For you?

That was
your locker?

Back in the dark ages.

You must be Julie Dufaux.

Nice to meet you.

Who are you?

I'm the assistant principal--
Ms. Warren.

Candy Warren.

Gentlemen,
my office, please.

The end.

Far out.

Solid!

Psychedelic.

Um...

Neat-o?

That was
a cool story.

Thanks, man.

Good story, Chris.
