The key to a gigantic afternoon cocktail

is a well-balanced skewer.

You can't go wrong.

Yes, Klaus, ya can.

I like my olive holes
clean as a whistle.

Dang, you straight-up
inhaled that blue cheese!

I don't think your
esophagus even opened!

I prefer to let my lungs
digest the useless stuff.

Klaus, my good man!

Jeffrey, my good sir!

To what do I owe this great pleasure?

I'm here to invite you
on a pleasant afternoon!

A pleasant afternoon, you say?

That sounds delightful!

Every day with the pleasant afternoons.

You're like an old retired couple.

- Thank you!

Hey Klaus, what's your greatest dream?

Probably renting a lake house together.

What's your greatest dream?

I think this might be it...

- Klaus, my good man!

Jeffrey, my good sir!

They're still doing pleasant afternoons?

Yup.

Today is actually quite pleasant, Stan!

We're going to an estate sale!

The sellers make up the craziest stories

to unload some dead guy's junk.

Every sword is Excalibur and
all the g*ns k*lled Kennedy.

Headed to Sub Hub.
Might be my last shift ever, though.

Everyone's freaking out

about a new sandwich
shop opening tomorrow.

The owners are some hot
sh*ts from Albuquerque.

Did you say... Albuquerque?

- Yeah.
- The Abq is home

to the world's foremost
sandwich innovators!

It's a proving ground for
sandwich artists, Hayley!

Yeah, whatever. I'm leaving now.

I heard in Albuquerque
they shave the meat so thin

you can hold it up to the
light and look through it

to see the exact moment of your death.

Yum.

Hey, it's the pleasant boys!

Looking good!

Principal Lewis,
shouldn't you be in school?

Shh, I'm playing hooky.

I never miss an estate sale.

They're treasure troves
for vintage p*rn.

- Oh?
- Oh.

Very much "oh."

Last month, I found a poor-condition

Penthouse number one!

It tells the vag*na's origin story.

Welcome, everyone!

Here comes the crazy backstory.

I bet she'll say an
astronaut lived here.

No! A disgraced sea captain!

Bet you a slice of pie.

You're on!

The items in this
house are very special,

because the owner was very unique.

The house was owned by...

Come on, disgraced sea captain...

a wizard!

- Damn!
- Pie!

Better get your checkbooks out,

because you pathetic mortals can
own a dead wizard's air fryer!

ROGER: I'll pay fifty dollars for it!

Rolex Gordini, and I'm my own boss.

Reselling random stuff on eBay

is one of my many side
gigs in the new economy.

Okay.

How much for this fancy comb?

Ahh yes, the enchanted hair comb.

Save it, lady.

- Five bucks?
- Sold.

Is this a first generation Sonicare?!

I'll give you ten dollars for it.

Two hundred if it comes
with the gunky base.

Three hundred if it
comes with a funky vase.

That comb gives me the creeps.

What's with all the weird
writing on the side?

Whatever man,
it's gonna look sick in my alcove.

Let's boogie.

Get in line,

She's a wraith, bro!

I get it, man.
I passed out last night, too.

From exhaustion.

From all the lovemaking.

Jeff, wake up,
you're being rude right now.

As I was saying, making love to a wraith

is like boning a fine mist.

Is that good?

Oh, my God!
There's a ghost doing sudoku!

She's my new girlfriend!

How?

Love is a mystery, Hayley.

I was just explaining
that to these jabronis.

- Pull up a seat.
- Definitely not.

Hey, don't you have a pickleball
match against the Debs?

[SHRIEKS]

Don't be jealous, you can come.

I'm actually a bit of an athlete.

Feel my bicep.

[STRAINING] I'm not even flexing.

Waddup, Debs?

Ready to get your sh*t rocked again?

Is the wraith gonna sit
there the whole time?

Of course, she's my girlfriend.
Head in the game.

It's just...
I didn't want to say anything before,

but it kinda feels like she's
staring through my soul.

You wish, bro. Head in the game!

Aah!

I'm so sorry! I'll bring water!

And a beer!

Oh, good, you're awake.

I have terrible news.

Stan, your jaw is completely shattered.

Sandwiches? Oh, hell no.

Your life is headed in
another direction right now.

You're entering the straw phase.

♪♪

Um, Klaus? You missed the part

where you bang coconuts together.

Let's talk about the creative
direction of this band.

This song sounds too, I dunno, happy?

But good music isn't happy, right?

I think our songs should be darker,
wraithier.

Our songs should be wraithier?

Exactly.

And this is your idea?

Yes. I've been wrestling
with it for weeks.

Really? You wanted
our music to be wraithier

even before you two met?

We should be experimenting
with new kinds of instruments.

Like instead of coconuts,

I could shake this coffee
tin filled with old teeth.

[TEETH RATTLING]

Sounds great, right?

- Klaus...
- Or I could rattle chains.

Klaus?

[LAUGHS]

Sorry, sometimes she hijacks my brain

Sorry we're late. We were making love.

Well...?

You're too kind.

Now, I have an announcement!

The wraith and I are going to
rent a lake house together!

What?! You're taking that
thing to our lake house?!

I'm sorry, did we talk about
renting a lake house together?

Yeah! You said
it was your greatest dream!

Really? Huh.

I don't even remember thinking that.

May I be excused?!

Who are you asking?

Permission!

I need advice, Roger.

You caught me at a bad time.

I'm freelance graphic
designing a new Apple logo.

It's on spec so I won't get
paid until Tim Cook buys it.

I can't stand Klaus's girlfriend.

She ruined our pleasant afternoons!

Sounds like a textbook comb wraith.

A what?

I'll explain in the car.

I'm also a Lyft driver.

If I can design a couple
of logos on the way,

bring Greg his pad
Thai and build a shed,

I'll make forty-five dollars today.

This is the last
surviving Lyft mustache.

They don't want people
to use these anymore.

Go ahead, try it on.

JEFF: Ugh, I wish Klaus's
wraith would disappear forever.

- Are you being selfish, Jeff?
- No.

Okay, then I will help.

Klaus's wraith is tethered

to the comb he bought
at the estate sale.

Wherever the comb goes, the wraith goes.

Steal the comb and give
it to someone else.

It's the only way to break them up.

Hey, did you see my wraith this morning?

When I woke up, she was gone.

Gone, you say?

pleasant afternoons,

You sabotaged my relationship

to save pleasant afternoons!?

I did.

that anyone has ever done for me.

Huh?

You fought for me, bro!

No one's ever done that before.

What about the wraith?

She had to go where the comb told her.
