And 100% jazzed to meet you.

Don't get too close to her, Holtzmann.

She'll ask you to write a book,

and then she'll squash your dreams.

Okay.

Holtzmann works

with me here in the lab.

She's a brilliant engineer and very loyal.

She would not abandon you.

I get it.

She also happens to specialize

in experimental particle physics.

- Oh.

- She was almost hired by CERN.

That's very impressive.

Uh, what happened?

- There was a lab incident.

- But he's gonna wake up.

- He woke up yesterday.

- Great.

Then he screamed

and went back into a coma.

Well, I bet all that screaming

tuckered him out.

Um, can we get back

to our discussion please?

Oh, gosh, it sounds like a great time,

but I'm gonna have to say no

because Holtzmann and I are really busy here

actualizing what we just

theorized about in our book.

- Really?

- Yeah.

We're incredibly close on the hollow laser

for the reverse tractor beam.

Really close.

You're making a reverse tractor beam?

Abby, why don't you let her listen to the EVP.

- What EVP?

- No. Not... There's no EVP.

- EVP is electro...

- Electro voice phenomenon.

I'm familiar. I know what it means.

And there's never been one substantiated.

Oh, there hasn't? There hasn't been one...

You know what? You come with me.

With a suit on and you get so cocky.

A few months ago,

we spent eight nights at the Chelsea Hotel.

We didn't get anything.

Well, we didn't think so.

And then later, in the lab,

when we were reviewing these tapes...

- Wow, you really got me.

- You know what?

Usually we can't even get people over here.

- But we have never...

- She came right over to it.

Never had anybody actually

put their face down close to the machine.

It's a cool joke. That was funny.

It's disgusting.

Is it more or less disgusting

if I tell you it came from the front?

- Oh, you didn't... Oh.

- I can do it live if you want.

What's next? You gonna give me a wedgie?

No. I think both of us pretty much feel

you have enough stuck up your butt.

Burn!

Okay, you know what, I thought

we could have an adult conversation,

but apparently we can't.

Erin, if you don't believe

in this stuff anymore,

then why were you looking for the book?

A man came to see me at my work

saying his building was haunted.

What building?

The Aldridge Mansion.

It's obviously a joke.

What are you doing?

Uh!

See, this is, this is exactly...

- You want to go find some ghosts?

- Yes.

Break!

Ooh!

- Wait, you're going?

- I got the pack.

Abby! Please, Abby. The book.

Come on. Let's go!

I'm not going with you guys.

Oh, no. Are you kidding?

You were never invited!

I need you out of the lab,

so I can lock the door.
