نخستین 200 خط.
Okay, how's this for a slogan?
"Woodstone Mansion: your one-stop shop
"for events and sleeping over,
followed by breakfast the next morning"?
That's not a slogan, that is a description of a B and B.
What do you think? Maybe...
She does not like that.
What do you mean? She said "maybe."
You poor, simple brute.
"Maybe" means she hates it and she's letting him down easy.
Mm, I've been using that for years.
Told Al Capone that every time he invited me
to the Hotsy Totsy Club.
Well, what do we have here?
Oh, we're just working on the website
for the bed-and-breakfast.
Still? Good God, it's not the Magna Carta, Sam.
Chop, chop. The ghosts are in here.
Oh, I assume they're everywhere.
That's why I shower with a bathing suit.
That's true. It's got little duckies on it.
Okay, all right, I-I think we're just overthinking this.
It doesn't need to be groundbreaking.
Some pics, some directions,
a way for people to pay us money. No, no, Jay,
this website is our first impression to the world.
Okay, fine. I'll just let you handle it,
but please get it done
'cause we need this place to open soon,
so we can earn a living. I know.
Or we need to find another valuable ghost watch,
but you are taking it off the next corpse.
Oh... What is my life even?
You know,
I can actually recite
a great deal of the Magna Carta
if anybody's interested.
It might be a fun way to pass the time.
Maybe...
That means no.
Come on, that's not a foul.
No way. That's just good defending.
Pete agrees and says it was just good defending.
You see? Pete gets it.
Literally the perfect guy to watch
a game with, aside from the fact
that I can't see him or hear him.
But we don't let that stop us.
Pete says you don't let that stop you.
So, since you're here,
I'm assuming you finished the copy for our website.
Pete says, "Good hustle on the backboards,"
and he wants to talk about that.
Good hustle on the backboards?
What does that even mean?
Sam, Pete would never say that nonsense. You're stalling,
and you need to get that cute little gummy bear butt
back in the office and finish our website.
Is it gummy bears or butts you have a thing for?
I don't have to choose.
Seriously, Pete and I will be fine without you.
You sure? Pete?
Yeah, we'll be fine. I think.
Pete and I can sit here in comfortable silence.
Okay, well, I guess I will leave you to it.
Okay. Love you.
Love you.
Oh! Damn! Pete, did you see that?
Let's do the thing.
Ooh! Ooh! Here we go.
Did we nail it? 'Cause I feel like we nailed it.
Oh, we nailed it. I think, deep down, you know we nailed it.
Yup, no idea.
How's it coming? Uh...
Uh, working.
Working or watching YouTube videos of dogs
being reunited with their owners?
He was stationed in Guam for three years,
but Argus still recognized him right away.
Hmm. Okay, okay.
Fine. I'm totally stuck.
Well, look, I get it. Storyteller back in my day.
It was an oral tradition,
but I liked to put my own spin on things,
and sometimes the inspiration wasn't coming so fast.
You do get it. Writing's the worst.
I should've listened to my mom and done something safer,
like go to law school.
My dad was the same way.
When I told him I wanted to be a storyteller,
he didn't think it was a good idea.
What if you don't have the gift?
I always wanted to be a storyteller,
but I didn't have the gift.
I don't want you to go through that disappointment.
Yeah, I want to try. I think I have it in me.
Maybe try something safer,
like hunter or warrior?
Yeah. Great.
Across cultures and centuries, parents still find a way
to put their own crap on us, huh?
Sam, how dare you disrespect my father like that?
I was kidding. Man, you're fun to mess with.
Hey, maybe I'm overstepping,
but I literally have nothing to do, ever, so...
do you want some help?
Seriously? That would be amazing.
Thank you, Sass. All right.
Well, let's get started, then.
Great. Yeah.
Right after we watch this elderly lady's corgi
welcome her back from six weeks in the ICU.
Aw, look at the stubby little legs.
Oh, my God, pass the ball!
Who does he think he is, Pistol Pete Maravich?
I assume you saw that, Pete.
If you're even still here.
Of course I saw it, and I made a very pithy comment.
Ugh, this is frustrating.
I can talk basketball with you, Pete.
Oh, that's very sweet, Flower, but you don't need to do that.
No, seriously. I grew up playing.
I had three older brothers.
Oh, that sounds nice, but Jay and I
have a whole shorthand, you know.
It's kind of our thing.
We don't just talk basketball with anyone.
All right, I'll be back tomorrow with those baseboards.
Oh, Syracuse, nice. They're looking good this year.
You're a fan? Love college ball.
What is happening?
Aw, they're connecting.
You want to hang out and watch the game?
I'm supposed to help my wife with TurboTax today, so...
hell yeah, let's do this.
Okay, well, there's not really room
on the couch. Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Sam! Sam! Oh, it hurts so much!
Okay, so, from these other hotel websites
you've shown me, it seems like these things
are generally pretty dry and boring.
Exactly, and I really want us
to stand out.
Ooh, ooh! I have an idea. What, what, what?
What if the website is written
from the perspective of a tree?
A tree? Yeah.
Who's been on the property for hundreds of years.
It's sort of like how us ghosts have been here for a long time
and seen all kinds of change.
Oh, he's like the narrator.
It's very clever. Ooh, ooh, ooh,
and we'll call him... wait for it... Woody
'cause he's a tree.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Maybe...
Did you just "maybe" me?
Maybe.
Ah... and one! Yeah!
That's what I'm talking about!
: That's what I'm talking about.
Pete, why did you bring us in here?
Because Jay brought a friend
into what used to be our special thing and...
Guess what, Jay. I got friends, too.
You know he can't even hear us. Is the plan to make him jealous?
No, no. The plan is to have fun with my ghost bros.
Right? Ah! Okay.
Uh, hey, Thor, you like hoops, right?
What is hoops?
Seriously? It... Basketball?
The hoop is the basket the ball goes in.
Thor like putting head of Dane in basket.
Give basket to Dane's mother. : Surprise!
Very funny.
I love hoops. I dated a Knicks City Dancer once.
Okay, this is not the kind of sports talk that Jay and I do.
We talk strategy and basketball history.
I don't remember this game. When was it invented?
1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Another beer? Come on.
Massachusetts? Well, it must be a game for simpletons.
No, there-there were some nice people there,
but certainly a lesser colony.
Okay, this isn't working. I-I tried, but you guys
just aren't Jay when it comes to classic basketball hangs.
You can leave. Oh, thank God.
Well, hey, I can stay and watch with you, Pete.
What's the point? This is a bust.
We literally can't open the hotel
until this website is up and running,
so we better figure something out.
A lot of people would argue
that we did figure this out two hours ago.
Oh, my God, are you trying to bring up the tree thing again?
It's hilarious.
Yeah, it just,
it seemed sort of familiar.
Oh, and "Make our home your home"
is truly groundbreaking.
