- No, then you're not embarrassing.

I'm not?

You're just really sad.

Well I think mum is beautiful.

- Don't be so scared all the time.

I'm not scared.

If you stood up for yourself,

you wouldn't get beaten up.

Are you being bullied at school?

I'd rather be a suck-up

than fail my exams.

You're failing your exams?

Don't hit your brother!

Fay!

- You didn't say anything about kicking.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.

- Dictionary mouth.

Frank, can you say something?!

- What? Something.

Well you did ask, Mum.

Don't you get smart, Max.

- Too late.

Frank!

You will transform

this woman into a vampire.

But, Dracula, you are.

Why not simply bite her yourself?

If I bite her,

she will lose her soul.

And her soul is exquisite.

Difficult spell this is,

on humans.

Will only work

if the person is unhappy.

Wow, a red carpet.

This really looks like

my kind of party.

- There you are.

- Hi.

We're here for the party.

- Yeah, I know, dear. Follow me.

This way

- Okay.

I have them.

- Wow...

...we're really getting the VIP treatment.

Good job, Mum.

- Didn't I tell you it would be fun?

Let's rock.

And where exactly is here?

What sort of party is this?

Oh, and why are we on a stage?

Why are we the only ones

wearing costumes?

They think we're the band.

Okay, then, we can do this.

Silent night, Holy night,

All is...

Imposters!

I have a feeling that Emma is

very, very unhappy.

Then enchant her, I can.

Excellent.

And fix this before you go.

Hm? Ach.

I need a holiday.

Well that was less than ideal.

- Why don't you talk like a regular person?

Can't you just be nice to

your brother?

It's the last thing

I feel like doing.

I'm sorry.

- That was totally humiliating,

and it's all your fault.

- It was an accident.

No-one wanted to come on your

stupid family outing.

Well I wanted to study.

You are so ungrateful.

Hey, come on,

don't shout at the kids.

Finally, he wakes up!

Can you to drive us home

before you fall asleep again?

Yeah. I'm just working so hard.

- And I'm not?!

Well, I wouldn't exactly call

making these costumes 'hard work'.

I hate that my daughter

does nothing but insult me.

And I hate that my kids

are always fighting.

And I hate that my husband

just sleeps through it all.

Work it will, my transformation spell.

So very unhappy, you are.

Perceptive, you are.

Help, Baba Yaga will.

Really? How?

- By cursing you.

What? Sorry?

By fire, by light,

by all things bright.

Yeah. Now, dear, don't

you have a cat somewhere...

...that needs feeding?

Or something?

Great, now it's gonna be raining.

By day, by night...

I really think we're witnessing

actual magic.
