I got ghosted again!
Why is it so hard to find a guy
who won't leave?
Trust me, one day you'll
find your perfect match.
I did!
[ Door opens ]
-We got a street couch!
-Oh, hell no!
We agreed --
no more garbage furniture!
[ Whining ] But I want it.
Oh, we got that savings account
you wanted
But we needed that!
[ Exhales sharply ]
Fine.
Yes!
Excuse us, ladies.
[ Josh and Alex laugh ]
I can't believe we carried it
15 blocks!
It's gonna feel so good
to sit on it.
Ho-ho, man.
Okay, here we go.
Gotta get this right.
Gotta get this right.
Gotta warm up my cheeks.
Just like puttin' a
fish in a fishbowl, you
know what I'm saying.
Guys, can you please tone
it down a little.
Bridgette just got ghosted.
[ Wailing loudly ]
Ooooh, sorry.
You know what might help?
[ Laughs nervously ]
The healing properties
of a comfy street couch.
Whoa!
-[ Sobbing ]
[ Springs slam ]
Oh, actually, I was
thinking we could all
sit on it right now.
[ Bridgette wailing loudly ]
Ohhh, noooo!
I-I-I-It's cool.
I can wait.
[ Crickets chirping ]
[ Exhales heavily ]
You all look like
you're going to ghost me, too.
[ Sighs heavily ]
Beautiful mademoiselle,
why so sad?
[ Screams ]
Forgive me, mon chérie.
I've not properly
introduced myself.
My name is
Henri Dubois Moureau V.
My father was
the Duc D'Orléans.
Um, I'm -- I'm Bridgette.
Uh
My father is a pharmacist.
Well, he must be the king
of the pharmacists
because he raised
a princess, hmm?
[ Moaning chuckle ]
Oh! [ Giggles ]
Okay, everything about this
is working for me.
But, you're, like, dead, right?
What's that all about?
Henri: I was once France's
premier furniture designer
[ Harpsichord playing ]
[ Crowd gasps ]
and it's greatest bachelor.
♪♪
I made love to beautiful women,
and in return,
they made love back to me.
[ Woman ohh's ]
But I was unfaithful.
[ Moaning ] Ohh. Oh! Oh!
And some became jealous.
[ Screams ]
[ Scythe shinks ]
I died on this very couch.
So you're tied to this couch
forever?
Until I complete
my unfinished business,
whatever that may be.
And you,
why is it that my couch
is stained with your tears?
Oh, I was sad because guys
keep ghosting me.
No offense.
Ghosting?
What is this "ghosting?"
It's when a guy dumps
you without telling
you and vanishes.
This is, how you say,
outrage!
I would never ghost you,
sweet Bridgette.
Oh, really?
So, um[chuckles]
what are you doing later?

He also hates fake bitches.

-I've heard worse.
Well, I'm glad
you found someone.
Ok, just to be clear,
this is not a relationship.
This is a haunting.
I knew you were gonna be
like this.
You don't like him
because he's French.
It ain't helping, but it's
mostly because he's dead.
I mean how are you even
gonna have sex?
Wouldn't you like to know?

Yeah, it's fine.
Great.

Did I say you could leave
a toothbrush in here?
[ Chuckles ]
No, but, uh, I, um,
how you say, assumed,
uh, since we live together.
[ Humming ]
You knew the word
was "assumed."
[ Door slams ]
Bridgette, I apologize
if I've done anything to offend.
[ Harpsichord playing ]
I -- I hope
you can forgive me.
Yeah, gross.
I'm not really into chocolate.

Bridgette
[ Couch scraping ]
I have
a beautiful surprise
for a beautiful lady.
Greeeaaat.
More dead things.
[ Harpsichord continues ]
Bridgette, I have expressed
my passion for you
through the medium
of painting.
I've also written an opera
about your face.
Uh-huh.
[ Sighs deeply ]
I guess it does not matter.

Nothing I do
seems to matter.

Ooh, sorry.

Ah, zere it is!
Classic Bridgette.
Zings get le tough
and you le run away
to ze fake phone call!
[ Whispering ] Shh!
You're being a dick!
Yes, I do have time
for a survey.
Ah! Bridgette!
You are tearing me apart!
[ Ughs ] Whatever.
Like I don't have three more.
No, no, no.
You're not going anywhere
until you tell me
why you are so upset with me.
Hey guys, is it cool
if I sit on the
[ Indistinct arguing ]
Aw, man
Upset?
How could I be upset about a
dead guy who's chained to a
couch and can never leave?!
Is zat what you wish?
You wish I could, uh,
ghost you?
Please!
You're being ridiculous!
Why would I want a guy
to ghostme?
Hey, I was thinking,
maybe I could leave
a toothbrush
at your place?
Yuck.
Take me to Wetzel's
and don't embarrass me.
[ Whispering ] Psst,
I bought a toothbrush
to leave at your place.
[ Gasps ]
[ Straining ]
Bridgette, I have something
I want to keep at your place.
What -- What are y--
Bridgette, I love you!
Oh, shit. I'm the dick.
So, I'm sorry
for how I behaved.
You know how women
are conditioned to be
non-confrontational
with guys
so they don't get murdered
or locked in a basement?
Oui, of course.
I've realized that's why
I sabotage relationships
when I just want them
to be over.
Instead of just
breaking things off,
I force guys to ghost me.
So, you want to break things
off avec moi?
You are a really,
really great ghost.
And if I was ready,
or if you were alive,
maybe this would be
different.
[ Sighs ] I understand.
You do?
Are you sure you don't want
to yell at me
in the back of an Uber
or something?
No, no, no.
I am done disrespecting women.
When I was among ze living,
I was a cad, a cheat.
I hurt every woman I ever loved,
and it killed me.
Hurt peoplehurt people.
Ohh
I don't want to hurt you.
Nor I you.
I want you to be happy.
[ Crying chuckles ]
I can't believe
how mature this breakup is.
[ Whooshing ]
Mon dieu!
What's happening?
My unfinished business!
I must have needed to have
a healthy breakup!
Or to make love to a woman
by possessing
a shirtless man's body.
Either way, farewell, sweet
Bridgette of House Pharmacist!
Goodbye, Henri!
Thanks for not freaking out
when I broke up with you!
No, I broke up with you!
I broke up with him.
Couch? No! No!
[ Sobbing ] No!
Oh, God
I never got to sit on you

You know what we didn't expect?

You wanna be John McClane.
Exactly.
But when it comes to
"fight or flight,"
my body just
always picks flight.
So
More of a John McLame?
Nailed it.
-Haha, points!
You hush up, Randy!
Not everyone's born brave.
Shoot, at the police academy,
we'd have recruits
come in all jumpy as hell,
scared of their own peckers.
Oh, we called
handguns "peckers."
Penises we called
"shotguns,"
and shotguns we called
"long dongs."
Anyway, with my training
I'd built 'em up
into tough-ass L.A. cops.
Wait, Pearle, could you
do that for me?
Train me to be brave
when my family's in danger?
Pearle?

[ Thuds ]
We've already begun.

This is gonna be so sweet.

Oh! Oh, nooo!
Randy?
Woof, woof!

Tastes like fear!
Lesson Number One:
Danger's gonna come at you
from every direction.
Now, Alex made a scale replica
of Candice
out of eggs that you have
to protect at all times.
[ Button clicks ]
Daddy! Help me!
I made an Emily, too.
That's so many eggs.
Your coward gut is gonna
tell you to run,
so you've gotta listen
to your brain and fight!

Ha!
Your dong's
telling you "owww!"
Your environment
is your weapon!
[ Grunting ]
[ Shouting ]
[ Both grunt ]
They can't get you
if they can't see you.

But don't ever apply
fence varnish to your face.
And finally,
when you expect danger,
danger can't expect you!
[ Straining ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Shouts ]
Now your dong's
telling you ow.
[ Screaming ] Oww!
Yes!
I'm brave!
Simmer down, Thin Diesel.
This backyard stuff
was just phase
one of the training.
Phase two's gonna come at you

The Barbecue-Cumber.
Cool.
Hot as a cucumber.
I mean a cucumber that tastes
like pulled pork?
Ka-ching!
[ Grunting ] Hoo, ha!
Hyah! Ha!
And that, my friends,
is how you disarm
somebody who's holding
a churro.

Yeah, real awesome, Josh.
Tell me, did Pearle teach you
how to disarm a fake alien?
Oh, ha ha ha.

That is why you will be

What are you, some kind

Capitalists.
A vegetable
that is tasting
like smokey barbecue?
[ Chuckles ] We will be selling
to highest bidder.
Probably Whole Foods.
You'll have to kill me for it!
No, no, don't, don't.
I was just kidding.
We're insured
for this sort of thing.
Okee-dokee, let's get that vault
open before the killing.
Emily, what's my password?
I don't know, Mr. Salt.
That's okay.
We've got a protocol
for this type of situation.
"Who was your best friend
in grade school?"
Oh, geez, how could I choose
just one?
Are you even to be
kidding me right now?!
Josh, remember,
your environment
is your weapon.

They can't get you
if they can't see you.
Jan: Juergen, we might needing
start blowing ze up the vault.
Juergen, comings in.
Juergen!

Juergen just got creamed.
Who is this?
Your worst nightmare.
