01x03 - Getting the Band(shell) Back Together/The Greatest Concert Ever

[bunniefuu]

Mwa‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha‐ha!

‐♪ I can't believe
You're all mine ♪
‐Uh, what?

‐ ♪ You and me for all time ♪
‐Ugh!

‐ ♪ I'm never, ever, ever
Gonna be alone again ♪
‐Oh, boy.

♪ I've been cursed
It's the worst ♪

♪ Now you're stuck with me ♪

♪ We're never gonna be apart ♪

‐ ♪ Is there a way
To hit restart? ♪
‐Nope!

♪ We're the Ghost
Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

‐That's me!
‐Well, that's she.

‐[chorus] Ooh!
‐ ♪ The Ghost and Molly McGee ♪

Hey, this isn't the National
Taco Convention!

You lied to me!

Yeah, well, if I'd told you
we were volunteering,

you would have complained
the whole way here.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

We're volunteering?

At a nursing home?!

On purpose?!

Over my undead body!

Hey Scratch, wanna know my
favorite thing about ghosts?

You can walk right through 'em!

[shudders, moans]

What you people just did
is considered very rude
in the ghost world.

C'mon, Scratch.

Volunteering bonds
us McGees together.

Well, I'm no McGee.

Good point‐‐ what
is your last name?

I'm a one‐name icon, baby.

Uh, are you sure? 'Cuz
I thought your last name was‐‐

[belch sound]

[both laugh]

Ah, man, you get me
every time with that thing.

‐[sound effects continue]
‐We had to buy our son a toy
called the "Obnoxitron?"

[honking, flatulence,
baby crying noises]

[dance music]

Right arm! Left leg!
Jazz hands!

Can we pick up the pace, dear?

We don't exactly have all
the time in the world.

You heard her, double time!
Left! Right! Left! Right!

Well, that's a great suggestion!

You work for the city?

Because I have a few ideas.

Oh‐h*! Let me be your mouth.

I'll pass 'em right on
to the City Council!

One‐‐ libraries.

Why should my taxes
pay for books

so other people
can read for free? B‐‐

‐Oh, boy.
‐Public parks.

Darryl, they got nothing.

That guy over there?

One of his cards
is a napkin.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm all in.

Wow, Patty‐‐ You've lived in
Brighton your whole life?

My family and I just
moved to town.

Hmm. Well, we all make mistakes.
[chuckles]

Mine was called Bobby Daniels,
and he rode a motorcycle.

‐[motorcycle revs]
‐Hmm‐mm‐mm.

Uh, that's, um...

Hey, I think that guy

with the napkin is cheating.

You mean, he's also cheating.

I was looking for sympathy,
not judgment.

Hey, is that you?

What is this place?

Oh, the old Brighton Bandshell.

We used to have concerts
in the park.

Everyone would bring a picnic
and dance to the music.

Anyway, a tornado tore down
the whole bandshell in '79.

‐That's terrible!
‐Oh my gosh, that's awesome!

I mean, tornadoes are awesome,
not, uh, it's not awesome

‐that her special place was,
you know, ruined.
‐Uh‐huh. You're getting there.

But to be honest,
I don't feel too bad about it,

'cuz I'm not really invested
in this woman.

I'm not even sure
who she is.

Why didn't the city rebuild it?

[Patty] "Not a priority,"
they said.

Hmph. Brighton isn't
what it used to be.

‐Scratch, I know what
we need to do next.
‐[slurps]

I'm really hoping it's
order a pizza,
with pineapple this time!

‐Hmm?
‐But I really fear that it's

gonna be something about
putting the bandshell...

‐Yes, you get me!
‐Oh, I get you, all right.

‐I get you 24‐7.
‐[chuckles]

[Dad] And finally, the citizen
proposes charging for...
green lights.

Not sure how we'd
even do that...

We'll take all that under
advisement, McGee.

Well, I have a hot date
with a cool lady.

See what I did...

So, if there's no
further business,

this meeting is adjour‐‐

Mr. Mayor,
I've got business so further,
it'll melt your mind!

Hello, Brighton City Council!

I am Molly McGee,
and this is my brother Darryl.

'Sup.

My kids!

Participating in local politics!

[inhales] I've never
been more proud.

Consider the future.

It's where we'll spend
the rest of our lives.

But what will it hold?

[Molly] The Brighton Mega‐Arena!

It's a 60,000 seat
sports complex...

[cheering crowd sounds]

...a music venue...

[electric guitar noise]

...a world‐class water park...

[splashing sounds]

‐...a dog run...
‐[screaming sounds]

‐Whoops, wrong button.
‐[barking sounds]

...and a doughnut shop!

So what do you think?

Let's build this baby, right?

Ms. McGee, your proposal
is certainly bold.

But sadly, a 60,000 seat
"Mega‐Arena" is too big for
a small town like Brighton.

Thank you and we do hope
you'll come back someday

with something
a little more realistic.

Psych! That day is right now!

The new and improved
Brighton Bandshell!

[gasps] A bait and switch!

I watched her build both models

and I still did not see
that coming!

I just learned about the
original Brighton Bandshell

and how much it meant
to the community.

Whoa, whoa, [chuckles] hold on.

We're not going to rebuild
the bandshell.

[stammers] But...

Times are hard,

and we simply don't have
the money

for a bandshell. I'm sorry.

[sighs]

No, Mom. They can
keep the doughnuts.

Let them feast on the carcass
of a young girl's dreams.

[strains]

It's okay, honey.

We know you tried your hardest.

Thanks, Mom.

But that wasn't my hardest.

If they won't give me
the money to fix the bandshell,

then I'm gonna
take it to the streets!

Your hero has arrived.

Uh, where did you get
so much money, Scratch?

Well, you know, I'm very good
at numbers. I just crunched 'em,

I stretched 'em,
I analyzed my accounts,

‐I timed the market‐‐
‐[police siren]

‐Did you rob a bank?
‐[dog barking]

Molly McGee!

Do you really think
so little of me?

[dye pack explodes]

It was a credit union.

Take it back! Take it back!

[police siren]

Whoa. We raised a lot of money.

But it's not enough.
We can pay for the materials,

‐but not for the labor.
‐Aw, gee whiz,

well, there's no way
we can build the bandshell
ourselves.

You know what? To cheer us up,

let's go down in the park
and make fun of babies!

Little dummies can't even walk.

‐I mean, why do they
make shoes for 'em?
‐[sighs]

You're right about
one thing, Scratch.

We can't build
the bandshell ourselves.

I'm glad you're finally
coming around

to reason on this one, Moll.

No, I mean
we can't build it alone.

Oh, no. I don't like that face.

‐It reeks of hope.
‐But what if the whole town

‐pitched in?
‐Oh, no, stop turning,
wheels in Molly's head!

We'll have a community
work day!

No one's gonna work for free.

Um, yes they will.
Because people care, Scratch.

They'll show up. You'll see.

And then you'll see my
famous "told ya" dance.

‐[hums]
‐[groans] Cringey.

That was just
a little preview for ya.

[whimpers]

[wind blowing]

People are totally coming,
don't worry.

[drums fingers]
Any... second now.

[wind blowing]

Okay, they're not coming.

Oh, excuse me, coming through,

boy, it's so crowded
around here. [chuckles]

Hey Moll, how you doing?

Oh sorry, you know,
I was trying to remember

who it was that was gonna do
the "told ya" dance.

Was it you, or was it‐‐?

Na‐na‐na‐naa!
Ta‐ta‐ta‐ta told ya! [grunts]

Ah, it's no fun
if you're gonna be sad.

Tough break, Moll.
I'm not...

Not really great
with the feelings stuff,
so I'm just gonna...

give you one of these.

I guess it's... just us.

Anyone know how to use
a table saw? [chuckles]

[clattering sound]

Darryl, not now
with the Obnoxitron.

It's not me.

Sorry we're late.

Then we'd better get to it!

No, not this.

‐This!
‐[indistinct chattering]

This is the Brighton
I remember.

Thank you, dear.

Well, Miss McGee,
I must admit I'm impressed.

You brought the whole
town together and got
the bandshell built.

So... who's going to play it?

Oh. Oh, no, OK, I didn't think
about that. Uh...

‐[loud horn, flatulence sounds]
‐Not you, Darryl!

Huh? Sorry.

I was listening

Didn't hear any of that.

Look, those acts were fine,

and improved bandshell?

[Patty] No! We need something

‐that'll rock this town!
‐Exactly!

Like Kenny Star!

‐Who's Kenny Star?
‐[guitar chords]

‐Kenny Star is Brighton's
biggest celebrity.
‐[music through headphones]

Well, technically
he was born in Tuscaloosa,

but his great‐great
grandmother's
second cousin once removed

did summer school here,
which means

Kenny's basically
a Brightonian!

Nothing like you!

Never trust a musician.

They'll listen to your
self‐produced demo tapes,

promise to make you a star,

then leave you
standing in the rain

with an acoustic guitar

and a suitcase full
of broken dreams.

Uh... what?

People! This guy is
a huge celebrity!

He's never stepping foot
in Brighton!

Oh, really? Wait 'til you see

what I have planned!

Ah!

We're going to m*rder him!

What? No!

Right now Kenny's tour bus

is on its way to Cleveland,

and we are going
to intercept him!

Assuming Kenny is, as his song
states, an "ordinary man,"

who weighs approximately
180 pounds,

and his tour bus, which
leaves from here at noon,

traveling 65 miles
an hour,

‐add in his insatiable need
‐[sighs]

for a fresh cup
of Colombian dark roast

‐every 3.2 hours,
‐[gulps]

factoring in a stiff
easterly wind

from this high‐pressure
system,

and his need to stretch
his perfect porcelain legs

‐to avoid varicose veins,
‐[heartbeat]

he'll be arriving at this
highway rest stop

near Brighton in exactly...

‐thirty minutes!
‐Molly, that was‐‐

‐Brilliant!
‐Absolutely insane!

Did you stay up all night
half‐baking that plan?

Huh? Sorry, I fell asleep with
my eyes open for a second.

What'd you say? Oh, yes, right‐‐

I stayed up all night
working on this.

Because Brighton deserves
the greatest concert ever!

And when it comes to people
we care about, McGees
go the extra mile!

Well, I'm not a McGee,
and I hate extra miles!

Count me out!

Okay!

[lawnmower running]

Oh, [sing‐song] Scratch!

Nope. No‐no‐no‐no‐nope!
[struggles]

This is kidnapping!
I'm under duress!

[shudders] I hate this curse.

‐[Scratch, Molly grunt]
‐[garbage cans clatter]

‐Now let's go get Kenny Star!
‐[lawnmower sounds]

‐[rock music playing]
‐Kenny Star?

Kenny Star?

‐Here?
‐It's gonna be huge!

There's going to be
pyrotechnics, and...

Acrobatics, and...

‐A real live eagle!
‐[cellphone chimes]

It's gonna be the
greatest concert ever!
See you there, BBs!

‐[honk honks]
‐[Dad screams]

Have you heard
the big news?!

Kenny Star's playing
at the bandshell tonight!

It's happening!
It's finally happening!

My hopes are as high
as my dreams right now!

‐Uh, actually‐‐
‐That's right!

He will definitely be here,

and you can count on it!
[chuckles]

What? Cat's out of the bag,

might as well feed it some mice!

[lawnmower runs]

Well, well, well,
would you look at that?

[wind blows]

He's not here. Humph.

[shudders] Whoa.

I'm sorry, you were saying?

Somebody get me a Colombian
dark roast.

Mister Star, you may
not know this,

but there's a whole town
full of extraordinarily
ordinary people,

just like you,
who are counting on you

to make their wildest
dreams come true.

I'm talking about Brighton,

home of the bravest
Wilder Scouts,

awesomest junior softball team,

and the most efficient
elderly construction

crew you've ever seen!

Please, Mister Star,

embrace your Brightonian roots

and come play our newly
rebuilt bandshell tonight!

Make your great‐great grandma's
second cousin once removed
proud!

I don't know who you
are, little lady,

but that was the most beautiful
speech I've ever heard.

Just one problem‐‐
I'm not Kenny Star.

I'm his stunt double.

[birds chirping]

Oh!

‐Hello? Kenny?
‐[eagle squawking]

‐Mmm. Kenny?
‐[objects clattering]

Um... [chuckles] where's Kenny?

Thirty thousand feet in the air
on his private jet.

[jet engine rumbling]

Oh, I'm an ordinary man.

I put my rhinestone britches on
one leg at a time

just like everybody else.

I'm sorry, miss,
but there's nothing I can do.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have to use the restroom.

‐[footsteps on stairs]
‐[gears grinding]

‐[cannon booms]
‐[electronic entrance bell]

‐[crash]
‐[toilet flushing]

How could this happen?

I planned for everything...

except for this.

Now we don't have any
band for tonight.

[cackles] That's music
to my ears.

'Cause I told you this
was a ridiculous idea!

Listen, let's go grab some
ice cream sandwiches

and beef jerky
while we're here.

I mean, we made the drive
and all. [slurps]

Let's go.

Another rock star,
another broken dream.

Best you learn this
lesson early, kid.

Wait, what? I mean, that‐‐
that's it? You're giving up?

Aren't you gonna, you know,
be all positive and
optimistic and annoying?

No, Scratch. I tried my best.

And it didn't work.

‐[car engine starts]
‐I let everyone down.

[seatbelt clicks]

[Molly] When it comes to
the people we care about,
McGees go the extra mile.

Nope! No, no, no!
Get out of my head!

That's not what's
happening here!

[Molly] People we care about...

I don't care about anyone!

And also, I can't hear you!

‐La la la la la!
‐Molly] McGees go...

I'm not a McGee!

‐[Molly] . ..the extra mile!
‐No, no, no!

[straining] Okay, fine! You win!

I'll fix this!

But it doesn't mean anything!

Yow! [groans] [straining]

I'll tell ya what!

[exhales] Plane is really fast.

Nobody likes a showoff, sir!

[out of breath] Okay!

All right! Plan B.

[Scratch] Ooh, a tour bus.

I mean, bands all sound
the same these days, right?

[in high‐pitched voice] Yeah,
they sure do, Scratch!

You're great at this!

[normal] Thanks, Plan B.

[high‐pitched voice]
Yeah, bud, no problem.

Here when you need me.

[revs accelerator]

‐[tires skidding]
‐[horn honking]

All that work Brighton put into
rebuilding the bandshell,

and now I've ruined
the big debut.

Look, Molly, it's not that bad.

I'm sure everyone
will understand.

[crowd cheering, chanting]
Kenny! Kenny! Kenny!

[chanting continues] Kenny!

Good thing I got my new hip,

[cackles] 'cause Patty
is gonna shake it tonight!

‐[all] Oh, boy.
‐[cheering continues]

You don't have to go
up there by yourself.

We'll go as a family.

[sighs] Thanks, Mom.

But I must face
the non‐music alone.

[horn honking]

‐[honking continues]
‐[tires skidding]

[horn honks]

[engine revs]

Uh, you sure this is

the way to Cleveland?

[Scratch and driver, in unison]
Uh, yep, Cleveland!

The... land of Cleve,

that's where we're going!

[farmer, donkey screaming]

[crowd cheering, chanting]
Kenny! Kenny!

[microphone feedback]

Uh, [laughs awkwardly]
hi... everyone.

‐[chanting, cheering quiets]
‐So, good news and bad news.

‐[crowd chattering]
‐The good news is we're all
here, you know, together,

and I am so happy‐‐

[microphone feedback]

...to see all your many,
many smiling faces.

[Patty] Less talking,
more rocking!

Yes. So, [voice breaking]
the bad news...

‐[birds chirping]
‐[distant bus engine]

[horn honking]

[alien screaming]

‐[chattering continues]
‐The truth is, I promised you
a big star,

‐but I've made
a terrible mistake.
‐[horn honking]

‐[loud crash]
‐[crowd gasps]

Well, time to get back to work.

[Scratch and driver]
Everybody out, go, go, go!
Get on stage now!

Wait! I got a star!

‐M‐maybe even more than one!
‐What? Who?

How should I know?
Just go with it!

You see, I made the mistake
of telling them

that Brighton
doesn't like to rock!

‐[audience] No! We love to rock!
‐[crowd cheering]

Okay, well, now that we got that
cleared up, enjoy the show!

‐[crowd cheering]
‐[loud dance music plays]

Hello, Cleveland!

Your city is smaller
than we thought it would be!
