Matt, you cannot give the Jamal Lewis interview to Rania.

It's called the Flex Files, not the Rania Riles.

Trick or treat.

Manolo Blahnik, Chanel No. 5.

Danielle, don't you think you're a little too old to be trick -or

You're never too old for free candy.

You got any?

No, there'll be no Halloween here tonight.

I'm crazed with work, and Brianna has to finish filling out her college

applications. Truth be told, I ate all the candy, and I'm bouncing off the

here.

You seem to be in a bad mood.

You know, as your therapist and your neighbor, I'd be happy to talk about it.

No, no. I don't want to talk about the fact that I feel like my world is

crashing all around me. I got issues at work. I got a love -struck teenager, and

I keep losing the football pool. Tell me something. How does a sports reporter

lose the football pool?

Well, you know, since it is Halloween and you didn't give me any candy, I'm

supposed to trick you. But you're having a bad day, so how about I just kiss

you?

Oh. Okay.

Sike.

You've officially been tricked. Bye, grumpy.

You'll be grumpy, too, if you had my life.

She keep coming out here playing with me. She gonna mess around and she gonna

fall in love and blame it on me.

So now, on Halloween, Timmy's ghost roams the halls, playing tricks on those

don't give him any candy.

He turns grandpas into babies and husbands into housewives.

There must be a reason for the switch, a lesson to be learned.

Spirit can learn what it's like to have a boyfriend for once.

Maybe Timmy can turn Arnaz into a bottle of Jack Daniels so his mama can love

him.

You know what? You kids don't appreciate a good ghost story.

And that story was true.

You know what? I just have one question, Dwayne. Uh -huh.

Is Timmy that boy standing right behind you?

You're supposed to be over there filling out applications, not playing with

Dwayne. But Daddy, it's Halloween.

Dwayne was just telling us a scary story.

Oh, I got a scary story for you.

There once was a little girl who didn't finish filling out her college

application, so dun -dun -dun, she had to go to DeVry.

Sometimes it's fun, you can feel all by yourself. Okay, one, two. But I have a

partner, but I can't tell no one else.

So don't isolate yourself when there's nobody.

college applications.

All you do is sit around and think about Arnaz all day. There's more to life

than Arnaz.

That better not be Arnaz.

Trick or treat.

Arnaz is not my whole life.

I also have spirit.

And school was a lot harder than when you were going.

Back in the Stone Age.

Hello? Trick or treat?

Well, what do you know about hard with your iPods and your cell phones?

Well, Halloween is over and it's late, and I know you did not just walk up in

house.

Oh, I get it. You two are too busy fighting to buy candy. Well, I say I'm

to have to trick you. He and the cheese.

She in the heat.

What's going on?

There's no earthquakes in Baltimore.

Wait, there's also no 13D in this building.

Ooh,

my new team people's in.

Look at Lindsay.

Those aren't real.

Jerry Rice is still playing the game.

Scoring touchdowns at 41, huh?

He's got good hands, but I got a bit of hairline.

I got a bit of everything.

And I should have never retired.

What happened? Somebody finally found that classic little spot. I left over

for Halloween.

Scary, huh?

You're me?

And you're me.

Wait, wait, wait.

You guys switched bodies?

Timmy. Who?

Timmy. He's the kid in the story that Dwayne told us last night.

Grandfather to babies.

Husband into housewives.

Daughters into daddies.

No.

I'm an 18 -year -old girl. Oh, my goodness. Is that a pimple?

I'm an old man.

And, Daddy, what did you eat last night?

Dwayne, man, this is all your fault. You and your stupid ghost stories unleashed

this madness. Now I want you to find this Timmy and get him to fix this.

Find the ghost, right.

Who am I going to call?

Oh, this is just great. As if my life wasn't hard enough.

Oh, Daddy, it's always about you. Flat out, flat out, flat out.

I have a drama midterm and... Oh, my God.

Tonight's my two -month anniversary with Arnaz.

So? So we have a date tonight.

I can't go looking like this.

Okay, baby, sit down. Stop crying.

Stop crying.

Look, we'll figure this all out by then.

But in the meantime, you just have to be me and I'll just have to be you.

What? Are you kidding? You can't be me.

I'm Poppy.

Haven't you seen my face on the side of a bus? Now that's popular with a capital

pop.

Okay, what you need to worry about is the Gary Hall interview.

The Olympic swimmer?

Oh, please, I can talk to him. I've been swimming since I was eight, you know.

Was the water cold? Flat out.

It's not that easy.

I have a list of very insightful questions.

Here, don't mess it up.

Daddy, don't embarrass me at school.

Now what could I possibly do to embarrass you?

Wow, that's a look.

Oh, Spirit, I think I know about you.

Oh, gee, thanks. Yeah, best friends forever.

What happened to you?

You know that little yellow sign the janitor puts out so you don't slip on

wet floor?

What, you didn't see it?

No, I saw it.

And then I snagged it and tried to surf it down the stairs.

I like this.

Librarian, huh?

You want to make out? I promise to be quiet.

Yes, I know you'll be quiet. Otherwise, I'm going to break your other leg.

Look, I am here for one reason and one reason only, and that is to learn.

Oh, I'm a little bree -bree's nervous about her midterm.

Don't worry, baby.

You're gonna nail it. Oh, easy, bro.

What is wrong with me that a book is even getting kisses?

Don't you have a class to get to?

Yeah, we have drama together, duh.

Oh, okay.

Hands!

What is up with you?

You're not nervous about tonight, are you?

Tonight?

Oh, yeah, the anniversary thing.

Wait.

Why should I be nervous?

There isn't a reason for me to be nervous. It's their boy. I mean, our

No, it's just that I know we've both been waiting a long time for this.

Especially you, because it's your first time.

But don't worry.

I won't let these crutches get in the way.

I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Interview Gary Hall. Interview Gary Hall.

Hello, this is Flex Washington of the Flex Files.

I think I'm really hot and I say witty things like, flat out.

There you are.

And there you are.

Aren't you a little round for the Olympics?

Aren't you a little straight for that shirt?

Oh, this thing?

It was a sale at the mall. I just couldn't resist.

I don't know what's gotten into you, Washington.

But anyway, just get in there and get my interview, slugger.

How's it hanging?

I mean, not that I'm looking.

Oh, jeez.

Flex, why aren't you with Gary Hall?

Oh, round guy, thank God.

Look, I can't do this. I don't feel very well.

Can't you call that Rania girl to do it?

Oh, my God, not again.

Okay, now listen.

You have got to forget this, Flex.

If you want to get the next big interview, you're going to have to wow

Rania wows me.

Oh, Gary.

You know Flex, Washington? Flex, this is Olympic medalist Gary Hall.

Oh, my God.

You're that swimmer guy.

You're totally fast.

And you have really great pecs, too.

I mean, from one guy with great pecs to another.

All right, let's get started.

Five, four, three, two...

I think that you're cute.

You think I'm cute?

I mean, I'm only asking as a man.

Yeah, you're fine.

You think so?

Can we start the interview?

Right, right, I'm sorry. Okay, yeah.

Hello, sports fans. This is Flex Washington.

I'm here with Gary, the swimmer guy.

He swims really, really fast.

And he was in the Olympics, too. And he won a lot of medals. And he was swimming

fast. And he said, you have to be comfortable in the water and have fun

what you're doing because swimming looks fun.

Tell me, Gary, was the water cold?

Okay, Brianna, I believe that you're doing a monologue from The Glass

No.

Actually, if you don't mind, I've chosen a new piece.

It's dedicated to my boyfriend, Arnett.

He is truly my inspiration.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the final scene of the American

classic, Scarface.

You want to play it off?

life of your own?

Yeah, I thought you looked a little bloated. I've got some idol in my purse.

So are you excited about tonight with our next?

What's there to be so excited about?

Is that all that goes on in the minds of you young girls today?

Boys, boys, boys?

You little fast tail girl.

Did you find something?

Not yet, not yet, but I'm close. I just have to channel the spirit of Timmy, and

then we'll find her answer.

Channeling? Duane, what do you know about channeling? Well, I learned all

it at channelingghost .com.

Even got the outfit there, too.

What are you talking about channeling? Uh, spirit, there's some cake in the

fridge. Oh, really? What kind?

Does it matter? Not really.

Duane, you have to hurry. Arnaz will be here in an hour. Okay, Duane, we can

discuss this further at your place.

Could Arnaz look cute today?

Uh, I think I hear my mama calling me. Bye, Mr. Washington.

Hey, Danielle.

What's up?

You do know Halloween is over, right?

Huh? Anyway, listen, about last night, Flex, that whole kid thing.

Oh, I don't think we should be talking about this right now.

Flex, you're mad at me? Look, I was only teasing. That's why I came over here. I

wanted to apologize.

Okay, you're forgiven.

No, seriously, Flex. I went home and I thought about it. Look, we agreed.

to just be friends so that you could be a good role model for your daughter. And

what do I do?

I make fun of it when I should have encouraged it.

You're a good dad, Flex, and a really good friend.

He did all that?

He really is a good dad.

So, we're cool, right?

Right.

So...

What kind of mascara do you use? Because I've been trying to get my eyelashes to

curl like yours.

No.

Duane, what are you doing? I'm channeling Timmy.

Timmy, tell us.

How do we reverse the curse?

It is only when you truly understand he whom you inhabit that you can again

reclaim yourself.

Oh, well.

Well, you have your answer.

I think.

Daddy, no, you can't go on my date with Arnaz.

Oh, my God, that's him.

Kill me. Kill me now.

Don't worry.

Everything's going to be okay.

Daddy, please be nice.

I promise.

Well, happy anniversary to you, too.

Yeah. Uh, sit down, boy. We need to talk.

Not to talk again.

When are you gonna stop talking and get to loving?

Look, boy.

It's not that I don't like you. I'm sure you're a nice kid and everything, but I

don't think we're ready for this.

What do you mean?

We've been waiting for months.

So what? Some people wait years. You know what?

We should wait years.

So, you changed your mind?

Now? Boy, it doesn't matter when I change my mind. No means no.

All right, well, I guess he won't be needing these.

Oh, no, he didn't. He better not be pulling out what I think he's pulling

guess Spirit can use them.

What's she gonna do with them?

Prince tickets?

That's what we're doing tonight?

Going to a concert?

I thought we were having sex.

You did?

I mean, we can.

I mean, yeah, Prince is highly overrated.

Get off!

That's the Brianna I know. Look, Arnaz, you can't... I know.

We're not having sex until you're good and ready, and that may not be until

we're married.

I told you that?

Yeah, all the time.

So she has been listening to me.

She is being responsible.

Did you feel that?

Feel what?

You don't have to check with me. Since when?

Since we came to an understanding.

Now you, I will always check.

Stop being so grabby. You don't like that, huh? You like when somebody grabs

you? You like that?

Go on, hop on. Hop on. Hop on.

Okay, you know what? I just realized I can't let Prince see me like this.

He'd probably like what I'm wearing better.

Hot stuff?

Brianna, come on. There's no need to advertise all this.

And I hear you're a pretty good girl.

Yeah, you know what, Daddy? There is one thing that I really liked about being

you. What?

The adoration of all my fans?

Nah.

I got to see naked boys. Holla!

Love you too, Netta.
