The Healing Powers of Dude (2020) s01e07 Episode Script

House Party of Horrors

1 Hey.
I finished my inflatable ghoul.
Did you find something for the party? Well, I bought over 30 costumes, so fingers crossed.
I'm hoping we go as the Property Brothers.
Obviously, I'd be Jonathan.
- Hey, bud.
You find - Fingers crossed! Okay.
You know, I think we're gonna give a lot of kids nightmares this year.
I can't believe Noah's not gonna be here to hand out candy with us.
He's growing up.
Soon he's gonna be off to college, then to law school - Law school? - Why just say it like that? There's that pumpkin.
You mean the one law school paid for? Heh.
Remember how Noah's little hand was the only one that could fit in the mouth to turn on the bulb? We still have Embry's little hands.
I'm going out with my friends for Halloween.
- What? - Excuse me? Addie called to say that she's having a bunch of girls over to go trick-or-treating tonight.
Supposedly her neighbors hand out $20 bills instead of candy.
I figured since Noah's going out, I can, too.
[SCOFFS.]
Well, I guess I'll go trick-or-treating all by myself.
And I guess I'll just hide on the porch and watch the kids scream when the vampire pops out all by myself.
Great.
Glad we figured that out.
Which one, Dude? They're both so bad, I can't even look at them.
[WHIMPERS.]
I wish I didn't have to go to this party, but if I don't go, then Amara and Simon can't go, and Simon won't have a chance to talk to Amara, I won't have a chance to talk to Valerie.
Oh, boy.
You're spiraling.
If I talk to Valerie and say something stupid, - she won't want to talk to me ever again.
- [HEART BEATING.]
Ah, just what we need more costumes choices.
Noah? Stressed about your costume? What makes you say that? - The answer is yes.
- [PHONE CHIMES.]
Great.
Simon says he just figured out a costume idea that's straight fire.
Well, Dude says, "I'll believe it when I see it.
" And Amara figured out hers weeks ago.
I'm the only one who has nothing.
Wait.
Amara's going to Valerie's party? Well, that should be interesting.
Why? Because she likes you.
No, she doesn't.
Yeah, she does.
I've seen her looking at you with puppy dog eyes.
What are puppy dog eyes? Oh, I do that when I want food or a head scratch or pretty much 24/7.
Am I doing it now? Yeah, well, Amara doesn't look at me like that, which is a good thing 'cause Simon likes her.
And if she likes me, things could get really awkward.
Well, then I'm glad there's no danger of that.
Okay.
What about this one? If I were allowed to touch matches [WHISPERS.]
I'd burn it.
Ditto.
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
[STRAINING.]
Why did you think your hand could fit in there? My emotions clouded my judgment.
Do you two need some help? No.
Totally good.
Love your decorations.
Who knew Halloween could be so adorable? Well, not everyone's yard has to look like Satan threw up.
[CHUCKLES.]
You totally got them.
I don't know if you heard me scream the other day, but I just wanted you to know that your dog snuck through my fence and dug up my entire backyard.
Dude? Dude wouldn't do that.
Oh, he's a saint.
He's a saint who's peeing on my scarecrow.
Ach, disgusting.
Dude.
Come here.
[CHUCKLES.]
Happy Halloween.
Good boy.
Come on.
[KIDS.]
Trick or treat.
I appreciate Embry's help, but I don't know why she insisted I go is 2018 Han Solo.
Classic Solo would've been much clearer.
Well, because of my size, everyone's gonna think I'm an Ewok.
Doesn't matter.
I'm all Wookiee inside.
Grr [NOAH.]
Wow.
Han Solo, you look great.
Awesome.
You got it.
Of course I got it.
I love Star Wars.
You told me you hate Star Wars.
You said it's, like, totally overrated.
What? Han Solo's my favorite Jedi.
He's not even a Jedi.
Whatever.
My point is, I really love your costume, Noah.
You look very cool.
Puppy dog eyes.
Well, I love your costume.
Ellen DeGeneres sitting at her desk.
Very clever.
What? First of all, Ellen doesn't have a desk! Second, it says Leslie Knope right here.
Oh, Parks and Rec.
I just started binging that show.
See? Noah gets it.
And Simon is I'm Rum Tum Tugger from the Tony Award-winning Broadway classic Cats.
Meow.
Wow.
Well, I have no idea who that is, but you definitely look straight fire.
Yeah, I do.
Cats is the worst.
Yeah, she gets it.
But it's a musical, and you love musicals.
Well, I hate that one.
Oh, okay.
I wish I would've known that before I had my mom glue fake hair to my face.
But whatever.
Let's just go inside.
[PARTY MUSIC PLAYING.]
Noah, are you ready to go in? You can do this.
It's just a party.
- [HEART BEATING.]
- Nothing scary about a party.
[EERIE MUSIC PLAYING, INTENSIFIES.]
[DEEP ROAR.]
[SCREAMS.]
[MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY, PARTY MUSIC RESUMES.]
Okay.
Now I'm ready.
[ALL.]
Trick or treat! [BAD BRITISH ACCENT.]
Well, hello, my royal subjects, and welcome to Frogmore Cottage, the home of Prince Harry and Princess Meghan.
He's obsessed with Downton Abbey.
Just take the candy.
Ah-ah-ah.
Only one apiece.
These have to last the kingdom all night.
And what do you say? - Thank you.
- Oh, jolly good.
Aw, I want more.
Oh, this is as close as you're gonna get.
Happy Halloween! [SCREAMING.]
No, no.
It's okay.
It's not a real baby.
No, look.
It's just a doll.
- Mom, what are you doing? - Traumatizing children.
[SCOFFS AND CHUCKLES.]
Honey, you look amazing.
Anna Wintour has nothing on you.
All right, darlings.
I'm off to my show.
My chariot awaits.
And by chariot, I mean you, Mom.
Let's go.
Okay, then.
Hope you have a great time without us.
I'm immune to your guilt.
Wait.
Where's Dad's inflatable ghoul? Ahh.
Oh, it must've blown away.
Oh, I knew I should've secured it better.
Or maybe Lori stole it.
- No, she wouldn't do that.
- I don't know.
She was pretty angry when she saw that Dude had peed on her scarecrow.
But to steal someone's favorite Halloween decoration? I mean, Lori's not that evil.
[CACKLING.]
No one messes with my inflatable ghoul.
Maybe I will stick around a bit longer.
This could get good.
Yay! [FAKE BABY CRIES.]
I'll be right back.
[RAP SONG PLAYING.]
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Pardon me.
Don't be polite.
Just tell people to move.
Everyone out of our freakin' way! No middle ground.
- [RAP SONG CONTINUES.]
- Yes.
This party rules.
I guess it lives up to the hype.
There's Valerie.
You should go say, "What's up?" I don't know.
We just got here.
You don't want her to start talking to somebody else.
Plus, it'll give me some quality time [WHISPERS.]
with Amara.
Ellen at her desk.
Nice.
Oh, good God.
Okay, I'll give it a try.
Yes.
You got this, bro.
I'm right here.
And we're walking, and we're walking, and [SINISTER LAUGHTER.]
Valerie's a creepy clown, man! Run! Noah.
Wait up.
What if we promise not to leave your side for the rest of the party? I don't know.
Or we could bring the party to you.
Simon could go get us some drinks, and I could stay here.
Or Noah could get us some drinks, and we can stay in here.
Okay, that doesn't make sense.
It's okay.
You're dressed as a cat.
Nobody has any expectations.
Guys, I think I just need a little time in here alone with Dude.
Then I'll come out.
Just please go enjoy the party.
If that's what you want Take good care of him, Dude.
Yep, on it.
- [BOY.]
Ellen at her desk.
- [GIRL.]
Finding Dory.
[CRICKETS CHIRPING.]
She's drinking a lemon seltzer.
She's putting the seltzer down.
[WHISPERS.]
Hold on.
It's a lime seltzer.
Give them to me.
- No way.
- What? She has a wine fridge.
Okay.
She's on the move.
Looks like she's dragging something across the floor.
My ghoul! It's my ghoul! - She's stuffing him into a trash bag.
- Shh.
I knew it.
That fridge is full of rosé.
Oh.
Who's up for egging a house? Savage, darling.
You can do this.
Just take your hand and open the door.
[HEART BEATING.]
Uhh.
I'm never leaving this room.
Noah, you may be feeling down now, but wait until you meet Mr.
Matthew McConaughey.
[IMITATES MCCONAUGHEY.]
Hey there.
I'm here to tell you everything's "all right, all right, all right.
" [WHINES AND BARKS.]
Dude.
It's loud enough out there.
I can't handle more noise, okay? Uhh, tough room.
There's got to be something in here that can help.
Hey, a mini fridge.
One water coming up.
Ahh, is this a fridge or a safe? Aha.
Ah.
Thanks, Dude.
Victory.
Oh, yeah.
That probably would've been easier.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Rarr.
You know, Amara, um I had this thing I wanted to tell you.
Hey.
You guys are Noah's friends, right? Is he here? Yes, he is.
Uh, in a room.
But definitely not in a room down that hall.
Okay.
Well, if you see him, tell him to come find me.
Killer costume.
- I'm not - Leslie Knope.
I love her.
Oh.
Wow.
Thanks.
And you're Some weird, creepy cat.
Cool.
From an award-winning musical! Great, I actually like her.
Should we go check on Noah? He said he wanted us to have some fun.
We should at least go do a tar-ot card reading.
It's pronounced "tarrow.
" Pretty sure it's tar-ot.
Let's just go.
T-a-r-r-o-t.
Tarrot, right? I'm not wrong.
Dad, how long does it take to grab eggs from the fridge? What are you doing? Did you really think we were gonna throw raw eggs and possibly give her salmonella? We're not animals.
Besides, I made them extra-cheesy so that they will stick perfectly.
Just need to add some chives [BOTH.]
No chives! Well, my heart stopped pounding but I don't feel like I can go out and talk to Valerie - in front of all those people.
- Well, in that case like Amara said, let's bring the party to you.
Dude, where you going? [BARKS.]
And since when can you open doors? Don't waste your time on me Ooh.
You like a boy? What? Go on.
He's somewhere in this house.
She's amazing.
But not in this room.
Hmm.
Sure about that? Quite sure.
Valerie, you in here? - Valerie? - [GIRL.]
Aw I know.
I'm adorable.
Valerie! Oh, there she is.
Valerie! Dude, where's Noah? [BARKS.]
I hope he's not peeing on the furniture.
There you are.
Where did you [SCREAMS.]
Jeez, I almost peed on the furniture.
Hey.
Hi.
I thought maybe you blew me off for a cooler party.
You know, I thought about it, and then I remembered this is the only party I was invited to.
Why didn't you go classic Solo? [SOTTO.]
Thanks a lot, Embry.
It still looks cool.
I actually like the new one, and I love that Dude is Chewy.
Aw, she knows I'm not an Ewok.
I like her.
Florence and the Machine? You are literally the only person who's gotten it.
Matchmaker Dog.
Fridays on Bravo.
Okay, Noah's been alone in there for way too long.
But we haven't done that thing where you stick your hand in the bowl and you're like, "Ew, eyeballs.
" But they're really not eyeballs.
They're actually wait for it - Grapes? - Exactly.
Um you know, earlier, I was trying to tell you about how I felt That's it.
I'm checking on Noah.
What the heck? So Cage The Elephant is tearing it up and Matt does this full stage dive off the balcony.
I've seen clips.
He's intense.
Mm-hmm.
And then he totally kicked my older sister in the head.
- Seriously? - It was worth it.
They're coming back to town in March.
My dad and I are gonna go.
Oh, I didn't realize you Go to concerts? Yeah, I love them.
I think it's because everyone's focused on the stage, and I can just blend in with the crowd.
That makes sense.
This is going great.
Val, it's time to judge the costume contest.
FYI, there's, like, nine kids dressed as Peter Porker.
Guess you should go do that.
Come with me.
Okay.
[POP SONG PLAYING.]
All right.
Looks like Noa-lerie's making their public debut.
[WHISPERS.]
Everyone locked and loaded? Fire in the hole! We got her.
Ha ha ha ha.
Oh, duck.
Who's out there? Are those mushrooms? - You added mushrooms? - Yeah, for weight.
- Shouldn't we be going? - Yeah, go.
- [FAKE BABY CRYING.]
- You brought the bab Go, go, go, go, go.
[GIRLS LAUGHING.]
Ah.
Hey, this actually turned out to be a great Halloween.
Yeah.
Holding off trick-or-treating with my friends for one more year isn't the worst thing in the world.
[MOUTHS.]
[KNOCK ON DOOR.]
[PAUL.]
Marvin, your inflatable ghoul thing is caught in my tree.
[GASPS.]
Little late, Paul! [ALL LAUGH.]
[RAP MUSIC PLAYING.]
- Want to help me judge the contest? - No.
Uh, if that's okay.
Just stay calm.
Shoot.
Amara's over there.
I don't want her to see me with Valerie and get upset.
Uh, I got to go.
What? Why? I just got to, okay? I know.
I'll create a distraction.
Okay, if there was ever a time to use my cuteness, this is it.
How about this move? - Oh.
- Look at the dog.
Oh, yeah.
Put in a little hop.
- [GIRL.]
So cute.
- Look at the puppy.
- Yeah, thought you'd like that one.
- [SECOND GIRL.]
Cute little guy.
- You've got to see this.
- Yo, ride with it Look at him go.
How cute is he? So cool you got him here, even if you had to invite that kid with the weird anxiety thing.
[HEART BEATING.]
I don't get it.
Hey, Amara.
You can hang with her, but not with us? No.
[STAMMERS.]
The only reason I came to this stupid party was so I could be with you.
Amara likes you? Did you know about that? - Um - Thanks a lot.
Set me up to fail, bro.
[BARKS AND PANTS.]
Did you see me? How great was that? What a team.
Go away! What? Why did you even get Valerie? I was fine being in the room by myself.
I wish I never had a dog! I was better off without you! Aw, Noah, you don't mean that.
Leave me alone! Go! [WHIMPERS.]
[MOCKING LAUGHTER.]
[LAUGHTER INTENSIFIES.]
[THROWS UP.]
[KID.]
Uhh.
[TOM ROSENTHAL.]
