Light as a Feather

Yeah, vodka.

Here's to four straight years

of pre-gaming with the dead.

A Halloween tradition.

You ever party in a graveyard before, Violet?

No. Uh, this is definitely a first,

but thanks for inviting me.

This is a lot of fun.

Well, here's to best friends,

Halloween traditions,

and things that go bump in the night.

- - Did you guys hear that?

- What? - That noise. You didn't hear it?

Probably my dead grandma.

- I miss Grandma Jean! - Me, too.

Do you remember when you threw up in the back of her Volvo?

- Ohh! - Oh, God.

She was so nice about it.

Yeah, and now she's come back to murder you!

- -

Whoa, uh, I heard that.

Me, too.

All right, guys, chill.

It's probably just that security guard

we gave 40 bucks to earlier.

Maybe we should just hit the parties?

Don't be such a baby.

Look around you.

Tombstones.

Everyone here is 100% completely d-e-a-d.

Isaac, you asshole! What the hell!

What do you think?

That was payback for earlier.

You're lucky you're cute.

Oh. Well, I know that.

Get outta here.

This is a no-bro pre-game.

Fine. See you at Jake's in an hour?

Sure.

Sorry, Mac. I should have seen that coming.

It's okay.

Hey, guys, it's getting cold.

Maybe we should just go?

- No! - No, you know the tradition.

We have to do something spooky first.

Uh, we could tell ghost stories

or hold a séance for my grandma.

Monsters in the Dark?

Nah, we did that last year.

Anything else?

How about Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board?

What are we, 12?

Yeah, I know the regular version is lame,

but I know a way that's different.

Go on.

Well, before the chanting,

you know, the lifting part, the leader tells a story.

What kind of story?

About how the person being lifted is going to die.

Okay, well, that's just messed up.

I like it.

Cool.

Violet, you be the leader.

McKenna, why don't you go first?

Okay.

So let's begin.

[CAR STOPS OUTSIDE, PUNK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

It is 7:30 in the morning!

Thanks for the update.

Hey, Mom.

Morning, Mack.

You ready to pass out candy with me tonight?

I'm all stocked up.

You know, I... I actually, like...

I made some plans tonight.

- Oh? - Yeah.

I just... I promised Olivia and the girls

that I'd hang out with them.

Right. The cemetery.

Yeah.

Honey, are you sure that's a good idea?

I mean, considering.

Mom, it's a tradition.

She'd want me to go.

And if she were here, she would be coming, too.

You're right.

Um, well, it's still a school night,

so you should be home by ten.

I was wondering if we could

do a little extension on that?

Really? How little?

- Midnight? - No.

- 11:30. - No.

- 11:25. - Really?

11:08.

Why don't we just say 11:00?

- Deal. - Okay.

Do we really need a limo this Saturday?

I mean, it's so expensive.

Well, for one, it's gonna be hard

fitting six people into an Uber,

so, yes.

Plus, I may have someone to impress.

That's your date? She's gorgeous.

I know, right? She's my cousin's friend.

I've only met her twice,

but unless I want to pick the scab

on the whole Kimberly sitch,

I'm basically out of options.

Who are you taking?

Jeff.

- I know, he's boring. - Wow!

He just photographs so well.

He does!

Happy Halloween!

- Hey. - Hi.

Actually, we're already discussing

the next national holiday.

Who are you bringing to Olivia's party?

Oh, I'm still TBD on that one.

- Seriously? - Hurry up. It's this weekend.

Remind me why it's so important

that we bring someone to this thing.

Olivia's romantic,

and she likes for everyone to be paired.

Even if it's just for pictures.

Hey. Henry!

Did USC kick you out already?

Uh, I actually have a doctor's appointment.

I have to get my knee checked before practice starts.

Are you gonna make it back for your sister's party?

- Do I have a choice? - No.

- Hey. - Hey.

Hey, McKenna, how's it goin'?

Thank you!

Thank you?

Oh, shit, we need to get to Isaac's locker, now!

What for?

It's payback time.

Ooh.

Come on.

Oh, my God!

Isaac's still gloating about those fetal pigs

he put in my backpack last year.

You kids and your crazy foreplay.

Don't tell me this is another one

of your Halloween prank thingies.

Yeah, and I've been saving the best for last.

There he is.

Come on, baby.

Um, sorry!

Here we go.

- Hi. - Hey.

Oh, damn it.

It didn't work.

Nice try, babe. Maybe next year.

Are you okay?

Hi.

I'm McKenna.

Sorry for freaking out like that.

No, I... I get it.

I would have reacted the same way.

Olivia and Isaac have this bizarre ritual thingie,

and you just kind of got caught in the crossfire.

Clearly.

Funny enough, that's the most attention I've gotten

since I started here.

Yeah. I guess being the new kid can kinda be...

Bullshit?

Yeah, I guess. It... I mean, I wouldn't know.

I've lived here my whole life.

How's it going in there?

Oh.

We're exactly the same size.

Isn't that weird?

Yeah, kinda.

Clearly, we're meant to be friends.

Yeah. Listen, you can give those clothes back to me whenever.

And, again, I'm sorry about the slime.

It wasn't a total disaster.

I mean, I met you, right?

Right.

Okay, I know that she's a little awkward,

but what's the problem
