02x14 - The Haunted Jukebox

[bunniefuu]

[rock theme plays]

[squeals] I can't believe it.

My favorite villain band, Cruddy Lip,
is reuniting to play one final show

tomorrow night in Centropolis,
and I got a ticket!

Wow. You by yourself in a sea
full of 3,000 angry people.

What could possibly go wrong?

Amy, tomorrow's Halloween.

We promised your mom we'd help her

with her Monster Mash party
at the Round-Up.

I'm gonna put fake eyeballs
in the enchiladas.

Hey. No, you're not.

I need this party to go off
without a hitch

so I can impress my manager.

Fine, one eyeball.

I know I said I'd help,
but it's the last time

I'll ever see Cruddy Lip perform.

Hold up, so she gets to go to a concert

while I pretend to help Mom.

I mean, actually help Mom.

I'm with Colby. It's my one day
off from the Round-Up,

and I'm spending it at the Round-Up.

Who am I kidding? I was gonna
spend it there anyway.

The point is, we should
be doing this as a family,

so you can all cover for me
when I sneak out the back door.

Look, I know the concert
means a lot to Amy.

[chuckles] Far more than her poor mother,

who's under a lot of pressure

and could really use the support.

Aw, thanks, Mom. I knew you'd get it.

Well, uh, I could help in Amy's place.

After all, I do know a thing
or two about party planning.

Oh, kind of assumed you're
already helping, but okay.

You're gonna be super picky

and make everyone's life
miserable, aren't you?

Well, there's gotta be something
in it for me.

[theme music playing]

[rock theme plays]

The party starts in 10 minutes.
Jake, the bats are crooked.

Colby. Ugh! Wake up!

-Oh!
-And Mr. Madden,

stop carving not-so-family-friendly things

into our family-friendly pumpkins.

[Eva] Look what I found in the back.

[chortles] It's a jukebox
that plays old records.

Oh, yeah. I saw one of those
in my history book.

Wait, didn't you old people
used to put money in it

to listen to music and take
a break from your silent movies?

Ha-ha. Liked you better
when you were asleep.

This place used to be
an old diner called Bubba's.

Legend has it that every Halloween,

patrons would mysteriously go missing,

and everyone thinks that jukebox
has something to do with it.

That's the most ridiculous thing
I ever heard.

It's alive!

It's so old, I wonder if it even works.

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

"Monster Town"? Never heard of it.

Let me try another one.

♪ Oh, oh Monster ♪

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town
Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

I don't know if it's haunted,

but it certainly works
as a t*rture device.

Any of you seen my Cruddy Lip
concert ticket?

It was on the kitchen table
and now it's gone.

I haven't seen it since I used
it as a coaster for my coffee.

You used my ticket as a coaster?

Yeah, right after Colby
picked his teeth with it.

-You what?
-We've been over this.

You leave something lying around,

I'm gonna use it as a toothpick.

Hey, don't worry, I gave it to Jake

-to keep safely in his pocket.
-Phew.

Right after I used it to pick my teeth.

Hey, Jake, just give it to me.
The rest of you, call a dentist.

Sure. I would have given it earlier,
but I had to throw my jeans in the wash.

Yay, found your ticket.

You all did this on purpose
so I'd have to stay and help

with this stupid Halloween party.

Amy, none of us
are trying to ruin your concert.

Well, you did.

You know what, sometimes I wish
you would just all stay out of my life.

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

-[rumbling]
-What's happening?

I don't know.

♪ Oh, oh, Monster Town
Oh, oh, Monster Town ♪

Wait, where did my family go?

The haunted jukebox!

The legend was right.
It makes people go missing.

Hartley, there's no such thing
as a haunted jukebox.

They probably just got freaked out
by whatever just happened

and ran off to hide.
Look, I'll call my Dad.

It's not working.

Neither is our group chat.

Okay, let's go find them.

Oh, wait! Why am I not in the group chat?

Oh, because then we won't
be able to make fun of you.

[eerie music]

Whoa.

Mom? Dad?

-Where are they?
-Hmm.

From the looks of this place,

my guess is stuck in a spiderweb.

-[European accent] Good evening.
-Ah!

Relax, it's just Jake.

I see you've found a frightening accent

to match your personality.

You're trespassing on Monster property.

[Colby] Strangers.

Colby?

Okay, this is freaking me out.

Oh, come on. Are you really gonna let
a prank by my brothers rattle you?

We are not your brothers.

Sure you're not. Now, here's my prank.

Knocking you both on your butts
with my sonic scream.

Wait, my power's not working.

-Be gone from here!
-[bat screeching]

They're really monsters!

[screaming]

[both gasping]

[door closes]

I can't believe Jake's a rat with wings.

I mean, it's how I often picture him,
but still, it's weird to see.

[gasps] Grandma?

Did you just appear out of thin air?

Yes.

Then that's a wrap on Hartley.

But no, sweetie, I'm not your grandma.

I'm the good witch.

Wait, you're the good witch?

That's a wrap on Amy.

Welcome to Monster Town.

Wait, uh, Monster Town?

That's right.

Not to be confused with Monster City.

That place is a dump.

I see you've already met
Vampire and Mummy.

-Oh!
-Good evening... again.

Strangers.

'Sup, Good Witch?

Is this gonna be long?
I have a dentist appointment.

Getting my fangs whitened.

Well, good for you.

[laughs] Could you excuse us, just...

Amy, it all makes sense.

When you said you wished your family
would stay out of your life,

the haunted jukebox granted your wish.

That's why they don't know you.
My grandma doesn't know me.

And that all makes sense to you.

"Monster Town" was playing on the jukebox,

and now we're in the real Monster Town.

I got sucked in with you
because I was holding your hand.

Like I always say, nothing good
comes from human contact.

So how do we get back to Valley View?

There's only one way.

Ugh, please don't say
"public transportation."

I'm so not in the mood
to deal with bus people.

Bring me the two halves
of the enchanted vinyl record.

Once I magically fuse the pieces together

and place it in the jukebox,
you two can be sent home.

Well, great. Where are the halves?

One half was stolen
by the Frankenstein Monster,

the other by the Swamp Creature.

Vampire and Mummy will lead you to them.

But time is of the essence,
so you'll need to split up.

Well, how are we gonna decide
who goes with who?

Bat Guy, you're with Hartley.
Bandage Boy, you're with me.

Wonderful.

Just meet me by the jukebox
before midnight.

-Or else.
-Or else what?

Or else you'll be trapped
in Monster Town forever.

[sneezes] Ugh!

Monster Town has my allergies going crazy.

[sighs]

[blows nose]

What do you think you're doing?

Sorry, but if you're gonna walk around

in 35 feet of toilet paper,
I'm gonna partake.

Let's just find our half of the record
so I can get back to my family.

It's not gonna be that easy.

The Swamp Creature's so scary,

no one's ever tried
to steal the record from her.

And lived to tell the tale!

-Oh!
-Oh!

Wait, you're the Swamp Creature?

I prefer "Swamp Lady."

Yeah, usually ladies
don't have pieces of tadpole

in their teeth.

Okay, you distract her,
I'll grab the record.

Hey, Swampy, check out these moves.

Do you have a leech in your pants?

-[Swamp Lady hisses]
-[both] Oh!

[chuckles] You're not
the only one with moves.

You two just hang here and, uh,
I'll go get the alligator loose.

He'll probably eat you first
and use him as a napkin.

Alligator? Is she serious?

Yeah. We don't joke around a lot here.

Just kidding. We do.

But she doesn't.

I never thought I'd say this,
but I'm kinda missing my real mom.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

I miss my own mummy.

What is taking that alligator so long?

[ominous music]

Here we are.

Don't let all the science stuff fool you.

He is not bright.

Mr. Madden is the evil monster?

Huh, that's not much of a stretch.

He's friendly, but he's very
attached to his stuff,

so it won't be easy to get
the record from him.

Oh, I got this.

All it takes is good manners
and a little bit of kindness.

Yay! Company!

Uh, nice to meet you,
Mr. Frankenstein Monster.

[nervous laugh] I hear that
you have half of an old record.

No.

Just broken circle.

I warned ya.

Yes, that's the record. [nervous laugh]

I was wondering if you
might let me have it.

-You see--
-No!

Favorite human thing make
monster feel human, too.

Aw, you want to be human?

Want friend.

Monster scary. No friends.

Wait, I thought we were friends.

Eh...

Well, I'll be your friend.

-Yay!
-If you give me the record.

Friendship conditional?

Oh, no, no, no, no. Of course not.

Good. Now friend play Monster Town-opoly.

Um, does that take long?

'Cause I kind of have a thing at midnight.

Ooh, Monster play for hours,
sometimes days.

Most of that time is spent

arguing over the rules of free parking.

I'll go play, you get the record.

Monster always race car, you top hat.

No!

Friend trick Monster!

[yelling angrily]

Being friends with him is a lot of this.

We have to get out
before that alligator shows up.

How? These reins are too tight.
We'll never be able to--

You're free. How'd you get out?

I ripped my arm off.

Want me to do yours too?

No, that's okay. You could just untie me.

[both grunt]

[sighs] Okay, great. We only have an hour
to get my half of the record.

Okay, let's think.

The Swamp Creature is technically a plant,

and plants do need love and care to grow.

Instead of threatening her,
maybe try nurturing her?

Yeah, nurturing's not really
my strong suit.

Then I guess you're staying
in Monster Town.

There's an empty tomb next to mine

-if you need a place to crash.
-Let the nurturing begin.

Well, look who's escaped.

Aren't you the slippery ones.

Oh, wait, that's me.

Listen, Mrs. Swamp.

It's Miss. I'm single and looking.

Really? 'Cause you seem like such a catch.

Oh.

Look, I really need that record.

I mean, why is it so important
to you anyway?

I'm all alone here.

This record is the only thing
that connects me with the outside world.

Well, there must be something
I could give you for it.

You know, come to think of it,

there is something I've wanted
more than anything.

Is it a pet mummy?

'Cause I could definitely
make that happen.

I've always wanted someone
to scratch my back.

Well, we tried, we failed. We're leaving.

I've had an itch for 30 years.

And these things
ain't getting the job done.

Fine.

[gooey squishing]

[happily groaning]

I'm starting to see
why you're still single.

I don't know why I'm watching
this, but I can't turn away.

Okay, now that I've scraped off
the last bit of my self-respect,

it's time for you to give me the record.

Ha! I played you like a record.
I ain't handing over anything.

Oh. Then I guess we'll just
have to do this the villain way.

Mmm!

Hey! Get back here!

Oi! Ooh! Oh!

[creature growling]

Now you show up!

There. Clean.

[yells angrily]

Look, I know you're angry,

but that record won't make you human.

Being human is about emotions,
like compassion,

which you can show by giving me

that record so I can return home.

And that will make you more
human than the record ever will.

The guy spends half the day
talking to his hand.

Do you really think he followed all that?

Don't need record?

Exactly! You don't need it.

Don't need. Smash record!

No! No smash record!

Okay, it took a while, but I got my half.

Still working on mine.

Not so fast...

Oh...

Well, it looks like this beauty
has finally found her beast.

Friend?

That depends on how good you are
at scratching backs.

Don't need anymore.

I got my half, too.

-[laughs]
-[Frankenstein groaning]

We should go. This is about to get weird.

-Ha-ha!
-Oh!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're already there.

-[Frankenstein grunting]
-[Swamp Lady moaning]

Oh, yes! We made it!

Ten minutes 'til midnight.

[Frankenstein groans]

Ooh, I just love a head
I can hang my towel on.

Your eyes deep like toilet.

Alright, Good Witch, we've got
both halves of the record.

Now send us home.

Of course. Just hand 'em over.

No!

She's not who you think.

-She's the...
-[evil cackling]

...Bad Witch.

Appreciate you doing my dirty work, girls.

Still not your grandma,
but she's getting warmer.

I finally have the power
you stole from me long ago.

Uh, heh, you know you did have some help.

Yeah, working for you is draining.

And that's coming from a vampire.

Hold on. You two work for her?

Eh, it's more of a side hustle, but yeah.

Wait, we're the ones who need
the record to get back home.

What power are you talking about?

The power to travel
into your world and destroy it!

You know, I'm starting to think
I'm not gonna make it

to that Cruddy Lip concert.


[Frankenstein groans]

You may have stolen
this record from me before,

but you'll never do it again!

[evil cackling]

So not only are we stuck
in Monster Town forever,

she's gonna destroy Valley View,

and I'll never see my family again

all because I said some words
I didn't even mean.

I can't believe
she's going to destroy our home.

Although, to be honest,
my grandma will probably be fine.

Her doomsday bunker's pretty loaded.

[evil cackling]

Great.

Our world's gonna end because
these two jerks betrayed us.

You know, my brothers may be annoying,
but they would never do that.

We didn't want to.
The Bad Witch reigns supreme,

so we have to do what she says.

It's true. Right now,

she has me biting the necks
of everyone on the revenge list.

She's lived a thousand years.
It's a long list.

The point is,
we want to get rid of her too.

You both know her.
Does she have any weaknesses?

Witch thrive on misery.
Only weakness: joy.

Oh, you're a monster and a poet?

Joy.

[gasps] Amy, that's it.

What's the best way to spread joy?

Money.

No. Music.

[gasps] There's a new song
on here, "A Place For Everyone."

Finally!

[laughs] Now to put this in the jukebox

and destroy Valley View.

Oh, we have to do this now.

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but we need all the joy we can get.

Will you all help us sing?

Monster shake a leg!

[yells]

Step aside. I have a record to play.

Back off, Witch! Me first.

Wow, I haven't heard a scream like that

since I attached those bolts

It's really you.
I'm so happy to see you guys!

-[Eva] Ooh!
-That's funny,

'cause a few minutes ago
you told us to stay out of your life

and those are some of the best
few minutes of my life.

-Few minutes?
-Yeah.

Amy got mad, we changed into our costumes,

made fun of you in our group chat
and here we are.

So, barely any time passed.

Look, I'm really sorry
for what I said before.

I don't want any of you out of my life.

In fact, I appreciate you all
more than you'll ever know.

Seriously, did she hit her head
or something?

Look, we feel awful about
the whole concert ticket snafu,

so I pulled a few villain strings
to get you another one.

[gasps softly]

You didn't have to do that.

Forget the concert.

I'd rather spend my Halloween here

with all of you.

-Really?
-Yeah. Now, come on...

let's go make your Halloween
party the best one Valley View's ever had.

[Eva laughs]

Don't just stand there, princess.
Let's get this party started.
