Our

2:07

story begins high above Manhattan

2:09

in the penthouse suite of the

2:11

Plaza Hotel where the doils give

2:14

themselves a well-earned

2:16

evening at home. Is

2:20

it me, Frank Darling, or have we been

2:22

called to battle the supernatural twice

2:24

as frequently lately?

2:29

Let's break the streak and promise

2:31

each other and ourselves that we will,

2:33

under no circumstances, leave

2:35

our apartment at all tonight.

2:37

Yes, Frank, that ought to do

2:40

it. I'll

2:42

tell you what else ought to do it, a refill.

2:45

Allow me. My,

2:49

what a pecan't bouquet, Darling.

2:52

You must warn me when we veer sharply

2:54

from a juniper forward gin such a

2:57

peaty scotch whiskey.

2:58

That's no whiskey, though

3:00

it does fill the nose with peat. Now

3:03

that I take it all in, it is not

3:05

peat, exactly.

3:06

Right you are. While

3:08

peat gets its aroma from decomposed organic

3:11

matter derived mostly from plant material,

3:14

this decay has a less herbaceous aspect,

3:16

more meat than peat. I

3:20

believe that bottle of gin has gone bad.

3:22

Well, then let's

3:25

enjoy a different bottle of something else.

3:28

Straight away, lad. Let me just... Am

3:30

I... Is it... There.

3:35

You haven't budged.

3:37

Haven't I? Do you think you have?

3:39

Kind of. Frank,

3:42

can't you put down that bottle? I...

3:45

I can't. I believe that

3:47

this bottle hasn't just gone bad. I'm

3:50

afraid it has gone evil.

3:53

Let us solve

3:56

the first

3:57

problem first. And fill our glass.

5:59

You tell me. They're your boxes,

6:02

Mr. D.

6:03

Just

6:05

how

6:05

we like them full

6:06

of bottles. Not for long,

6:08

eh, Mrs. D.? You know us too well,

6:11

Leon. Well, you

6:13

know, sure, I had to study up to get the

6:15

job of delivering your liquor. It's a highly

6:17

competitive position. Oh, is

6:19

something wrong, Mrs. D.? This

6:22

one's water as well. Water?

6:25

No, no, I promise. I didn't

6:27

know anything about this. This vicious

6:30

prank. It doesn't represent me or

6:32

the shop, believe me. And furthermore,

6:34

it will not stand. When I find

6:36

out who is responsible, I will make them regret

6:38

it. I will make them regret this, and

6:41

this I swear to you. I am

6:43

responsible.

6:45

All of the booze of both of the doils

6:47

has been is and will

6:50

forever be undone. Ha!

6:53

Ha! Ha!

6:54

Sheeps creeps.

6:56

A talking bottle. I am the only

6:58

elace in your drink, desert doyle.

7:01

Drink me while

7:02

ye may. You

7:06

make a good point. Let

7:10

me take a swig and then we'll

7:12

say you don't think whatever is in this bottle is compelling

7:14

me to drink it, do you?

7:16

Yes, you might be on to something,

7:19

darling. Whomever is in

7:21

that bottle, the only person to compel

7:23

my husband is me, so you show yourself

7:26

right now.

7:27

You think because you compel him, you can compel

7:29

me? Of course. Oh, okay

7:31

then.

7:37

Teach me.

7:38

Holy, dear, holy.

7:39

Is that a real live demon?

7:41

That is.

7:42

I can't believe it. I mean, I can.

7:44

This kind of thing is all over your files. And

7:47

being honest, other people who had this job before

7:49

me sometimes didn't end up so alive as

7:51

all that. And some of those ones

7:53

didn't end up being so dead as all that. It was

7:56

only a matter of time, I guess, so here's

7:58

hoping I make it.

9:17

this

9:27

may require a drastic approach

14:00

This

14:08

may be right here if we just

14:11

ask Ashley to apologize and...

14:14

Oh, where am I?

14:18

You're in a place of a hotel

14:20

penthouse, Homer Frank and Sadie Doyle.

14:23

Welcome.

14:26

We'd offer you a drink,

14:28

but we only have water, and who would

14:30

drink that?

14:31

This is

14:33

our liquor delivery boy, Leon. I'm 34. And

14:38

of course you know this demon. I have a

14:41

name.

14:42

Everyone does. I

14:45

don't remember her, actually,

14:48

and I don't remember you either.

14:51

I'm sorry. This is so embarrassing.

14:54

But I went through this phase where I was really

14:56

mad at everything and everyone.

14:59

Oh,

14:59

I've also been a teenager.

15:02

Well, I take it out on the world by putting

15:04

curses on whoever rubbed me the wrong

15:07

way, but I have put all that behind me now,

15:09

so... Unfortunately, it's right

15:11

in front of us now.

15:12

As are you. If you're not still

15:15

angry in general or specifically at us, we'd appreciate

15:17

you removing the curse. What

15:19

if I could? I don't remember

15:21

why I did it or

15:23

how to do it. I feel as if we were just

15:26

talking with someone about remembering things. Oh,

15:28

it was

15:28

Leon. He has the most amazing

15:30

recall. How about it, Jack? Do

15:32

you remember any of the stuff?

15:36

Do I recall her past? No. Oh,

15:38

God. This

15:40

is

15:41

so mortifying. Look, I wish

15:43

I could help.

15:45

I'm just not that person anymore. Oh,

15:47

that person! Come in and meet us!

16:01

You two? I did it. Teenage

16:04

Fiona walkers,

16:05

two of them. Well, whatever. Twice,

16:07

at different ages. I didn't think that was gonna

16:09

work at all. Do

16:12

you remember us, Fiona?

16:15

Do you remember why you cursed us?

16:17

I do, of course. I just did it like 10

16:20

minutes ago. Finally, I've waited

16:22

for years, jerks.

16:24

Well, why? What did we do that

16:26

upset you? Yeah.

16:28

Who are they?

16:29

Who are you? They're accountant? No.

16:35

I'm an accountant.

16:39

But I'm also...

16:41

You.

16:42

Oh, what? No. What?

16:45

No. What happened to you?

16:48

Life, I guess.

16:51

I can't believe this. I was

16:53

gonna rule the world. More like destroy

16:55

the world. Oh, same difference. Whatever, whatever.

16:57

Solid argument. And

17:00

you don't even remember me, do you?

17:03

Refresh my memory.

17:05

I was just a kid when we met. You're

17:07

not one now? You two came

17:09

to my parents' party in New Jersey. Well,

17:11

that doesn't sound like us. You were drunk?

17:15

Oh,

17:15

that sounds like us. My

17:18

dad was possessed by a demon.

17:20

Well, that sounds like him. Maybe,

17:23

I don't recall.

17:24

Oh, that

17:26

was you. You two exercised

17:29

the demon from my dad.

17:31

That sounds like us.

17:33

You ruined my

17:35

life. Oh, that one sounds like me, actually.

17:40

It wasn't. My

17:42

dad was this really keen

17:44

baby. Always learning me about doing

17:47

things. Being responsible.

17:50

Until he got possessed by that demon.

17:53

Then he was a fun time dad. So

17:55

fun.

17:56

The best. Then you

17:58

exercised him. Anyway.

17:59

back to being basically a librarian.

18:02

They prefer the demonic dad.

18:05

So much so that I got into black

18:08

magic, all the grimoires I could

18:10

read, necromonicons and

18:12

demon scrolls, the unabridged encyclopedia

18:14

of shadows, the Hellbook. I

18:17

tried to bring back demon dad.

18:19

Never could, though. That sounds

18:22

like us.

18:22

We have a strict no-return policy

18:24

on our exorcisms.

18:25

By the time

18:27

I was 20, I was angry at everything. I

18:29

am 20 and angry at everything.

18:32

And now I curse,

18:33

including us.

18:35

You guys got the double whammy.

18:37

Industry jargon.

18:39

What does it mean?

18:41

I scented demon bottle to turn

18:43

all your booze into water, taking away one

18:46

of the two things you loved, and then the

18:48

demon was supposed to possess one of you to take away

18:50

the other thing you loved. Oh,

18:52

that's what I was supposed to do. Possess

18:56

you. That's why I needed you to drink me.

18:59

I couldn't get in there myself. Still

19:02

can't.

19:03

The

19:05

rope's spinning for everyone.

19:07

I keep drinking that coffee. I

19:10

cursed

19:10

so many people back then.

19:13

It's fun. It was fun. But

19:15

after a while, I just...

19:18

It was at dad's funeral. He

19:20

dies? Well, I

19:22

looked in the mirror and thought, is this

19:24

me?

19:26

It

19:27

is. I threw away my grimoires and my spells,

19:29

and I got a real job. I

19:31

hate that and you.

19:34

That's what I felt like when I stopped being

19:36

you. Everything gets boring eventually.

19:39

That's life. At

19:41

a certain point, you got to let the piercings close

19:43

over and switch to decaffeinated coffee and

19:46

read books and get a job

19:47

so you can afford books and decaffeinated

19:50

coffee.

19:52

You're such a disappointment. Don't

19:54

you want to rage and roar and burn

19:57

the world? You're

19:58

such a disappointment.

19:59

Appointment shaking your tiny

20:02

little fists at the sky like anything

20:04

you do makes a lick of difference. Yeah,

20:06

you want to scrap

20:09

I'd rather nap. Oh

20:11

Yeah, okay dad Geez,

20:14

I learned all this dark magic so I wouldn't end

20:16

up like him like you You

20:18

know what? I'm gonna

20:20

Let me get my pocket grimoire and I'm gonna curse

20:23

You're still

22:44

me.

22:51

What happened? She

22:58

not going to try to put it back, are you? No.

23:00

I mean, I'm not mad at you anymore.

23:03

I'm mostly just mad at myself. What'd

23:05

I do? No, not you me.

23:08

Me me.

23:09

I had all this power

23:11

and I spent it all on useful anger. And

23:14

then I just cold turkeyed it.

23:16

I didn't know how much I missed the me before

23:18

commutes.

23:19

Before

23:25

salads.

23:26

Before having a boss. We

23:30

have a boss. I hate

23:32

you. What am I saying? Come

23:35

on, kid.

23:36

I know a quiet bar that you won't

23:38

find out about for another three years. You're going to

23:40

hate it.

23:42

Let's go split a drink and figure out how

23:44

to split the difference between

23:46

the two of us. I'm

23:57

free.

23:59

for you guys something?

24:01

Way ahead of you.

24:02

And we always shall be now

24:05

that we've got our drinks back.

24:06

This is amazing. I'm gonna be

24:08

up late writing all this up.

24:10

Before you do,

24:11

have a drink. Yes,

24:13

Leon, join us. A drink with

24:15

my clients? Is that ethical?

24:17

Not only is it ethical,

24:20

it's sensible. Here's to you.

24:22

All right then, to the doils. Here's to them.

24:25

Here's to us. Indeed. Whoo!

24:35

It's insane. You were asked to do

24:37

speeding at the base. This

24:40

was once again that Lego

24:43

really started hard. Then

24:45

they left hard. Then

24:49

they walked beyond the lease.

24:50

And a spooky

24:52

clown had a walking ladder.

24:57

Thanks for watching.
