Trick 'r Treat

NARRATOR:

During the spookiest time of the year...

there are a few guidelines

all ghosts and goblins should follow.

Always stay on sidewalks.

Never go to a stranger's house,

and never go out alone.

EMMA:

This is a great idea, honey. Really.

It's just magical.

It makes me wish every night

was Halloween.

HENRY:
I'm sorry, Em.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

-Wait, wait. Not yet.

EMMA:
What?

HENRY:
You're supposed to keep it lit.

-Why?

Ancient tradition?

Henry, it's Halloween, not Hanukkah.

-Baby, I'm lit and you're lit.

-But honey--

But our little friend here?

His night's over.

HENRY:

You know, you should be more careful.

There are rules.

You might upset someone.

EMMA:

Oh, please. Who?

What?

Inside. Upstairs.

Let's just take all this crap down.

It looks like a crime scene.

-I told you I'd do it in the morning.

-No, you won't.

You're gonna sleep until noon

and then play video games until 4.

And besides, my mom is coming and

she'll have an aneurysm if she sees this.

Really?

I'll do it.

Go inside. Put on the tape.

I hate Halloween.

MAN:

What took you guys so long?

[MUSIC PLAYS ON CAR STEREO]

Happy Halloween.

[SCREAMING]

[WOMAN YELLING ON TV]

WOMAN [ON TV] :

Yeah! Oh, baby!

[SCREECHING]

EMMA:

Henry!

Emma?

WOMAN:
Werewolves, zombies

and demons of every variety.

They've all descended...

on the normally sleepy town

of Warren Valley, Ohio...

where the holiday

and all of its strange traditions...

are taken very seriously.

It's only 8:
00 and the streets are already

packed with costumed visitors...

some to show off, others to blend in...

but all to celebrate the magical night

of Halloween...

the one night a year when we can pretend

to be the scariest thing we can think of.

WOMAN 1:

I am not wearing this. It's too small.

-My tits keep popping out.

WOMAN 2:
That's the idea.

WOMAN 1:
Don't know why we drove here

when there are guys in the city.

WOMAN 2:

Fresh meat.

WOMAN 3:

It's what we do every Halloween, Laurie.

WOMAN 1:

Whatever happened to trick-or-treating?

WOMAN 3:
Puberty.

WOMAN 4:
Last year we were in Tampa.

WOMAN 3:

And went as sexy nurses.

WOMAN 2:
No, Janet, Tampa was 2 years ago.

I remember because you puked...

doing a guy in his pickup.

WOMAN 4:
I ate some bad Mexican,

and it was a Jeep.

WOMAN 2:
Last year was San Diego. We

dressed as sailors and ended up with sailors.

WOMAN 4:

Yeah, and Maria's sailor was a girl.

WOMAN 3:
So what? She had a nice ass.

It all tastes the same to me anyway.

Ladies, there are children out here.

[WOMEN LAUGH]

WOMAN 2:
Okay, all of you come out

on the count of 3. One, 2, 3.

-Nice.

-Right.

-Laurie, come on out.

WOMAN 1:
No.

-Open up.

WOMAN 1:
No.

Open the door,

or we'll huff and we'll puff....

Come on, seriously, open up.

WOMAN 1:

Fine, just don't laugh, okay?

Danielle, I look like I'm 5.

Shut up, you look great.

[JANET AND MARIA SNICKER]

-It's tradition.

LAURIE:
Great.

-What does tradition say we do now?

-We meet our dates.

[BEEPS]

233, 30-D.

I mean, $234.33.

Thanks.

You know, this might sound kind of

forward, but well, we're just in town...

for a party tonight, and I was wondering

what time you get off work.

Oh. Uh....

In about 20 minutes, actually.

Yeah? You know

where Sheep's Meadow is?

Sure, yeah, of course.

All right. So why don't you

meet me there in 45?

Okay, I guess.

Don't forget your costume.

That can't be good

for your diabetes, Charlie.

Uh....

Don't waste a good lie on this.
