Oh. Well, you said "let's," so...

- Oh, my God. Just pull the...

- We're wasting time.

Just close the door behind you, it'll lock!

Abby, wait!

HEY! Taxi!

- Hey! Hey!

- Abby.

Abby, come on.

Please, Abby, just

take the book down. Please.

All right, all right,

but you have to introduce us

to this guy at the Aldridge Mansion.

Yes, he would love to meet you.

Then I will consider, maybe,

taking the book down

until you get your stupid tenure

at your stupider college.

Absolutely. Yes, I will. Yes, of course!

You got it?

Excuse me! Excuse me!

We're not open.

- Can I help you?

- Yes. Hi.

We're looking for Ed Mulgrave.

- I wanted to introduce these people to him.

- Hi there.

He came to see me this morning.

- Ed Mulgrave?

- Yes.

But Ed Mulgrave died 15 years ago.

- Yes! That's awesome!

- What?

Dead for 15 years!

Ed's a ghost! Ha! Knew it!

I just saw him today... Oh.

He's...

So, who is this?

That's Ed's son. Ed Junior.

Okay. That's obviously who I meant. That's...

Hi, Junior. If I may, uh, when is the last time

the paranormal entity was actually seen?

And if you were to rank it, let's say between

probably a T1 and T5...

Garret here saw it on Tuesday,

and I believe it made him soil himself.

- Jesus.

- Wow. Soiling.

I'd put that at a T3.

T4, if it was poop.

- What?

- Unless you ate something weird.

Then it wasn't the ghost.

Kinda hard to suss that out

after the fact though.

I didn't soil myself.

He did. He called me sobbing, saying,

"Oh, my God, my pants are toast."

Did you happen to keep

a sample of the soiling?

A sample?

- Okay. All right.

- I'd love to get that back to the lab.

Well, uh, so I have

made the introduction.

- Yeah, thank you.

- There you go.

All right, well, how 'bout

you take us across the street.

I got to get in there, set up.

Let's go on a tour.

Uh...

You're gonna die in there.

Aldridge Mansion. Take one.

And we are rolling.

Checking the settings. We look good.

What is that?

Looks like one of those things

that makes cotton candy.

It's a PKE meter.

There's a ghost anywhere around here,

this baby's gonna find it.

Does it work?

Uh, yeah, it works.

I just haven't had the appropriate proximity

to an entity for it to work.

Strange reading here.

Ma'am, can you tell us where you got

the world's tiniest bow tie?

Uh, it came with the shirt.

Okay, somebody really doesn't

want us getting in that door.

Can you tell us what it's like

to walk around in those shoes all day?

- It's not fun.

- All right.

Oh, Holtzmann, check this out.

Hold your ponies.

All right. Good gag.

Hey, are you getting that?

Very funny.

Is everything a joke to you guys?

Just your mama.
