Molly's Bedroom[]
(Scratch is asleep in his little house.)
Molly: Aww, he's so cute when he's sleeping. (shouts) WAKE UP, SCRATCH!
(Scratch wakes up, alarmed)
Scratch: (annoyed) What's going on?!
Molly: It is Saturday! And not just any Saturday. I have no plans! No chores, no homework, no responsibilities! And you know what that means...
Scratch: Don't care.
Molly: We're gonna have the most Awesome Best-Friends' Day that Brighton has ever seen! Just chime in when you hear something you wanna do.

Scratch: No. To all of that.
Molly: "No"? You can't say "No" to everything!
Scratch: I absolutely can. Just did.
Molly: That's a terrible way to go through life! Or death!
Scratch: We can't all be positive, constantly say "Yes" like you all the time.
Molly: Well, that's different, okay? Because yes is good!
Scratch: Oh, is it? It's good?
Molly: Yeah!
Scratch: Well, I guess you'd like it then if your could only say yes?
Molly: Yes! I would love it! Would you hate it if you could only say no?
Scratch: No, I would not.
Molly: I bet you would, too.
Scratch: All right, wanna put your money where your mouth is?
Molly: Uh-huh.
Scratch: Great, then I am going to set a curse on us, Molly McGee!
(Scratch enters no-nonsense mode!)
Scratch: (as everything in the room floats) RAHH! Until midnight, one of us can only say no (pointing to himself) and the other, (points to Molly) can only say yes!
Molly: Okay, okay, let's test this out! Scratch, do you want to...do nothing today?
Scratch: Y-- (mouth zips shut) I see what you did there. Okay, so I guess my answer is "No".
Molly: (laughs) Yes!
The Kitchen[]
(Molly and Scratch find Pete fighting off a bee away with a broom.)
Pete: Molly! get back! It's not safe. We got a bee in our home!
Scratch: Uh, so you're antagonising it with a broom?
Pete: You've got a better-- ? Wait--
(The bee gets stuck in Scratch's nose.)
Pete: Scratch! You caught the bee! Can you please...release him outside?
Scratch: Can I release the bee outside? Hmm...No! (flicks the bee out of his nose) So far, I'm loving this curse!
Walking Through Town[]
Molly: Ooh! Next we can go to the library, get some new books, enter a literary world of pure imagination.
(Molly spots Irving the Illusionist and turns around.)
Scratch: Uh, hello, the library is that a-way.
Molly: Just uh taking the scenic route.
Scratch: "Scenic route"? Weird. Almost as if you HATE close-up magic or something. Which is absurd, Because it is delightful.
Molly: Obviously, I love real magic. Wizards and unicorns and stuff. But magicians are just con artists who trick people! I don't like being bamboozled, Scratch! And I will not be hurt again!
Scratch: (chuckling) Oh, hey, Molly? Wanna go watch street magic?
Molly: Pffft. That is a hard n... (struggling to say 'no')
Scratch: What was that?
Molly: Fine! Yes! (groans) I can't believe you used this curse against me.
Scratch: Abracadabra!
(Approaching Irving.)
Ivring: Hey there, passerby! Would you like to see some magic?
Molly: Yes.
(Ivring makes a coin appear from Molly's ear.)
Ivring: Presto! Are you impressed? Oh? (laugh)
Molly: That didn't come from my ear. You were holding that coin in your hand the whole time. (grabs Ivring) I know your game, presti-digi-faker.
(Patty walks by.)
Molly: Oh, Patty! Over here! Quick, before he asks me to pick a card!
Patty: Molly! Perfect timing! I just finished whipping up some gumbo but my tastebuds don't work so well anymore. Will you be my taste-tester?
Molly: Yes! I would be happy too!
Patty's House[]
(Molly is given a bowl of badly cooked gumbo.)
Molly: Is this gumbo?
Patty: Not bad for a beginner, huh?
Scratch: Well, come on, Moll. Aren't you gonna eat it?
Molly: (reluctantly) Yes. I will... eat this. Now. Here I go...
(Molly starts eating the gumbo with great difficulty and disgust.)
Scratch: Make sure to eat it all, Molly. Can you taste how the freezer burn mingles with the actual burn?
Molly: (in disgust) Yes.
(Fifty miserable minutes later: Molly finishes the bowl of gumbo and feels sick.)
Patty: Oh! Already finished? Do you want some more?
Scratch: What's your answer? She's asking if you want more.
Molly: (miserably) yes.
McGee Residents[]
Pete: The bee has summoned its swarm! Save yourselves!
(Sharon and Darryl are hiding. Grandma Nin rings)
Grandma Nin: (on the phone) Hello, my favorite grandson! What's going on?
Darryl: Nothin' much, Grandma Nin. Just hiding from a swarm of bees in the house.
Grandma Nin: Bees?
Darryl: Oh, don't worry! Dad 'Ii squash 'em or die trying!
Grandma Nin: (shrieks) Put your mother on! You cannot hurt bees! They are good luck!
Sharon: But, Mom, they're attacking Pete!
Grandma Nin: That is Peter's problem. No hurting bees! (ends call)
Pete: Oh, they're everywhere! Ahh!
Outside Larry's Pawn[]
Larry: Help!
Molly: Oh! It's Weird Larry. Quick, cross the street.
Scratch: Are you avoiding people or something? How very un-Molly-Mcgee-ish of you.
Larry: Help! My baby Vera! She got out! She's black and white and got a cute little fluffy tail! And a powerful stench only a father could love.
Molly: Oh, is Vera a skunk?
Larry: Can ya help me wrangle her?
(Molly trying to hold back.)
Scratch: (chuckling) Oh, Molly, you've been asked a question. You have to answer. Don't leave the guy hanging. I can see the word working its way up! Come on, you know you want to...
Molly: (echoing) Yes!
Running Through Alleys[]
(Molly chasing Larry's skunk.)
Scratch: And McGee slips pass the wet cardboard boxes... Why are they wet? We won't ask! She's making progress on the far turn... Oh! (laughing) Wow! When you are right, you're right, Moll. You know, this is an awesome Best Friends' Day. I mean not for you, but for me-- Ahh!
(Scratch gets pulled into the ghost realm.)
Ghost World[]
Scratch: Okay, look, whatever I did wrong, I'm sorry and I won't do it again!
(The Ghost Council laughs.)
Green Ghost Council member: Oh Scratch, you're not in trouble... for once.
Scratch: I'm not?
Grey Ghost Council member: Quite the opposite. We are pleased with you.
Purple Ghost Council member: Oh, misery levels have been on the rise in your town! (She shows the meter, the pointer is on the red side.)
Blue Ghost Council member: Very impressive work. Which is why we'd like to invite you to join the Elite Ghost Society!
(The Chairman thumbs up at Scratch.)
Purple Ghost Council member: Do you accept our invitation?
Scratch: I have been waiting for this moment my entire afterlife! You're asking me? Of course! What am I gonna say? I'm gonna say-- (he struggles to say no. The Ghost Council are not impressed. After a few moments, he gives up and deflates.)
...
Scratch: No.
(The Ghost Council gasp in shock.)
Green Ghost Council member: Scratch, consider carefully because we will not ask you again, ever. For the rest of eternity. Will you join the Elite Ghost Society?
Scratch: (in tears) No I will not.
The Alleys[]
(Molly is still chasing a skunk)
Molly: Come on! Vera! Come back here, you little stinker.
(Scratch returns.)
Scratch: Well, my eternity is ruined. I'm really starting to regret this whole curse.
Molly: Same. Sure would be nice to say... "the opposite if yes" right now.
Scratch: Oh, Molly! Let's switch!
Molly: You mean reverse the curse to the inverse? Do it. Do it do it do it do it do it do it do it!
(Scratch enters no-nonsense mode!)
Scratch: I decree: you are no, I am yes! Okay, real quick: Do you want a pet skunk?
Molly: No. Ha! It worked! Mr. Weird, or is it Larry? I don't know. But I did find your skunk!
Larry: That ain't Vera. Looks feral...
(Skunk hisses and runs off.)
Molly: Ooh, okay. Well, uh, I tried.
Larry: Wait! Aren't you gonna help me find my Vera?
Molly: No! Ha! That feels good! What do you say? Should we go home? Hide until the curse wears off?
Scratch: I'll give that a big yes!
Molly: Ha, ha! I knew you did!
McGee Residents[]
Darryl: Um, we all agree that pushng the bees out with air won't give us bad luck, right?
Grandma Nin: As long as you do not hurt them.
Sharon: Open the window!
[hairdryers whirring]
Sharon: [gasps] It's working!
[hairdryer stops]
Darryl: Uh-oh.
[buzzing]
Pete: Beenado!
Darryl, Sharon & Pete: Ahh!
Molly: Oh, wow. This really escalated while we were gone. Come on, we have to help!
Molly: Hey, Scratch? Buddy? Will you please eat all the bees?
Scratch: "Eat all the--"? [sighs] I guess I had this comin'. Okay. But if I'm suffering, so are you-- Hey, Molly, can you not herd the bees together for me?
Molly: A double negative huh? Then no!
Scratch: Perfect. Finally, we've figured out a good use for this curse! Not happy about eating bees, though.
[hairdryer whirrs]
Scratch: Do your worst, bees! You can't sting a gho-- Whoa! Ow ow ow ow! Ahh! Okay! [garbled] My mistake, I gueth you can.
Outside[]
(Scratch go out the chimney and removes the bees)
McGee Living Room[]
Molly: We did it, Scratch!
Pete: You saved us! How could we ever repay you?
Scratch: Ow!
Molly: Don't ask us any questions until tomorrow!
Molly's Bedroom (Countdown to Midnight)[]
(the two friends relax while looking at the clock)
Molly: Maybe saying "no" or... "the opposite of no" all the time is... uh... too extreme?
Scratch: Yes. I agree.
Molly: Ooh! Here it comes!
Molly/Scratch: Five! Four! Three!
Molly: WANNA FRENCH BRAID MY HAIR?!
Scratch: Wha-?! (giving a reluctant sigh) Yes.
Molly: (laughs in triumph as she gives Scratch a scrunchy and a hairbrush)
(Midnight struck, and the "Yes/No" curse was officially broken)
Scratch: (smiles as he takes the hair-care items) Dropping me at the last seconds, McGee? Dirty Move.
Molly: (gives a wicked laugh as she turns around) Yes it was.
(the scene zooms out of Molly's bedroom window while Scratch starts working on her hair. Note: the following lines were ad-libbed)
Scratch: Huh. There's a lot of bee wings in here.
Molly: Ooh! Kinda weave 'em in! They'll make me look cool!
Scratch: For that iridescent quality.
