Hello, I'm Gene Sing. I have a reservation.

Wonderful. I see we have you here for one night.

- Yes. - So, where are you guys coming from?

Guys?

Uh, you can see me?

I just mean, uh, you

and your luggage, because here

at Woodstone Mansion, we treat your bags like people.

Oh, that's nice, I guess.

Oh, my. Ooh-wee!

Who's this tall drink of water?

Ma'am.[all exclaim]

Biscuits and gravy, you're a ghost.

Oh, my God. How's my hat?

- Still small and ugly. - Shut up, Thor.

I'm sorry, uh, this lady can see us?

Yeah, yeah, she fell down the stairs

and hit her head and now she can see ghosts.

She is freak, but has good attitude about it.

How is it we've never seen you before?

Did you just expire on the property?

I am a poltergeist.

Which is a ghost attached to a person instead of a place.

- Well, now. - You're kidding me.

Basically, wherever Gene goes, I go.

- Who's Gene? - Sam, we're gonna need a minute,

if you could just stall for a bit.

The credit card machine looks like it didn't work,

so I will just, um,

need you to fill out this form. [chuckles]

So, I'm Alberta Haynes. Jazz singer.

Murder victim.

I enjoy long moonlit strolls,

right up to the boundary of the property.

Pleasure to meet you. The name's Saul Henry.

The Saul Henry who used to play for the Negro Leagues?

I remember reading about you

in the papers. Y'all, he played shortstop

for the Delaware Horseshoe Crabs.

Until one day,

we were up against the Connecticut Quahogs

and I was hit in the head by a yakker.

[gasps] And it was lights out!

- Oh! - For ol' Saul Henry.

Here you go.

Samantha, keep stalling.

Oh, we also ask

our customers to fill out

one of these comment cards. [chuckles]

Before my stay?

Yeah, 'cause then we have a baseline to compare it to

when you fill the other one out at the end of your stay.

So, what's it like being attached to a person?

Oh, it's not bad.

You see, Gene here's a dentist

who likes to travel the world

and take beautiful photographs.

But of all the exotic locales I've been to,

why, you're the most breathtaking sight

I've ever seen.[giggles]

Wow, are we in Nebraska? 'Cause that was corny.

Just know when you're beat, Peter.

Uh, here's your key.

But before you leave, I would love

to just talk to you a little bit

about the woodwork here in the lobby.

You know what? I'm good.

- Thanks. - And we're off.

Oh!

[chuckling] Well, uh,

enjoy your visit.

You too. Damn it. Why did I say that?

Uh... come up to my room

and smell a glass of wine later.

Is very nice invitation, Thor think about it.

Shut up. I'll be there.

[giggling]

♪ ♪

So, with your nuptials fast approaching,

we've got to start nailing down some details.

We've got so much to tell Samantha to do.

Well, I was actually thinking it might be fun

to have a theme for the wedding.

Ooh, a theme could be fun.

Yes, yes, perhaps something like "enchanted garden"

or "springtime in Paris"?

Mm. Actually, I was thinking...

"dinosaurs."

- Dinosaurs? - I-I mean, unless it's overdone.

I mean, I will admit that I'm not up to date

on the latest wedding trends.

Isaac, I love that you have such passions,

but this new dinosaur fixation--

it's really just your hobby.

And the wedding, well,

it really should be about both of us.

As a wedding planner, it is my job to remain impartial.

However, this idea is so terrible,

I really must side with Nigel.

Well, we will be walking down the aisle

to the Jurassic Park theme, and that is nonnegotiable.

How's the planning going? I can't tell you

how excited I am to attend this wedding.

I already know exactly what I'm gonna wear.

[chuckles]

You've already made that joke, Peter.

Comedy gets better with repetition.

NIGEL: Next up on the agenda:

our stag do's.

I believe you call them

bachelor parties.

Mine is tonight.

I'm here if you need any guidance.

I know we can't get drunk

or drive around Atlantic City in a stretch Escalade,

but we can still party. Come on!

I went to a travel agent convention in Atlantic City.

The battle for room upgrades was intense,

let me tell you. [chuckles]

NIGEL: Don't you worry, Trevor.

We Brits know how to have fun.

Which is why for my party, we shall celebrate

with toasts,

roasts, and if things get really wild,

an off-color limerick.

Oh! That sounds terrible.

Isaac, please tell me you have something better planned.

Mine will be a wild, ribald night of reciting

William Shakespeare's-- wait for it--

sonnets.

You two are made for each other.

- Oh, thank you. - Thank you.

Well, I am excited to attend both.

I already have the perfect outfit for each.

It's still not funny.

Just wait. [chuckles]

ALBERTA: I can't believe I'm here

with the Saul Henry. [chuckling]

[snoring]

And sleeping Gene.

Well, unfortunately, uh, Gene didn't order

- any wine for us to smell. - Child, that's all right.

I'm more of a Sazerac kind of girl myself.

Best one I ever had was at Sunny's Sunshine Club.

What? I used to headline Sunny's.

- What? - Yeah. [laughs]

Say, did you know Tommy Two Times?

He used to work the door back in '23.

Know him? That fool still owed me five dollars when I died.

Ooh, I get mad just thinking about it.

well, you know something,

you're kind of cute when you're mad.

- Oh, you think so? - Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

Oh! Mm...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Oh, that's his prostate.

- Oh. - But don't worry,

we'll have a solid 45 minutes when I get back.

[both chuckling]

Hoo-wee.

NIGEL: [laughs] That was the best limerick yet.

Oh, Peter, you do amuse me.

This is the worst bachelor party I've ever been to,

and I was at one where a flaming shot

set the groom's beard on fire.

I once saw the city of Charleston go up in flames.

Guys, a bachelor party

is supposed to be a depraved affair

full of alcohol, drugs and lap dances.

Lap dances?

TREVOR: A lap dance is

when someone pretending to be working their way

through college sits on your lap

and grinds their junk up against your junk.

I think I could give it a try...

Baxter, a little accompaniment?

♪ ♪

Ooh, ooh...

Yes. Oh, my.

[huffing] Oh, my.

Oh!

[laughs]

And how do we feel about Nigel

getting grinded on by his ex?

Thor appreciate the artistry,

but feel Isaac might not

be so amused.

I'm making my way through university.

NIGEL: Oh, yes, you are.

[giggling]

SAMANTHA: So, has anyone

spoken to Alberta? She was supposed

to hang out with - Saul last night. - Right.

The clinger that's attached to the dentist

in the Maple Suite? So creepy.

All I'll say is, Alberta missed our morning walk.

Oh! I wonder if they hooked up.

Good morning. [chuckles]

Oh, if you fools are waiting around for juicy details,

you can forget it,

'cause I am telling you nothing.

No. No, no, no. We would never.

Good. 'Cause what happened between me and Saul

up in that room is none of your business.

And I'm talking about

all three times. [laughs]

[whoops] Nice one, Alberta!

They did it, Jay.

Guy comes to the Hudson Valley, maybe to see some birds.

Instead, he finds himself an unknowing participant

in an interdimensional threesome.

But I got to admit, though,

as nice as the physical element was,

I actually kind of like Saul.

I'll be sad to see him go.

- Bertie. - Alberta. She said she's gonna be sad

to see him go. Hey.

Okay, so, checking out.

SAMANTHA: Okay.

- And how was your night? - Good.

Although there was a rather loud

humming sound in the room.

My bad. [giggles] But also your bad.

[both chuckle]

Oh, I wish you weren't leaving.

Uh... Oh. Oh, wow, Gene.

It says here that you are actually

our 1,000th customer.

Not even close.

And as such, you're entitled to extend your stay

by an extra night, free of charge. HETTY: Oh.

Wow, tempting, but, um, no, thank you.

I think I have to get back to Philly.

- I'll help you with your bags. - Great.

Uh, thanks a lot, folks. - Take care. - Uh-huh.

Ooh! Oh, ooh, ooh...

Ugh, it's painful when you're dating someone

who's attached to something.

As I know, because of the car ghost.

You know, Jessica. Who was my girlfriend.

The point is I had a girlfriend.

[smacks lips] That was a long walk, Sasappis.

Well, I guess this is goodbye.

I wish we had more time together.

Actually, there is another way.

Now, it's extremely painful,

but if I can focus hard enough,

I can actually sort of jerk my body off

of one host and onto another.

You'd do that for me?

Anything for you.

GENE: Hey, thanks again for everything.

Thank you.

[chuckles] Mean Gene!

♪ ♪

Oh![grunting]

Come on, now!

[screams]

That Gene is a nice guy.

- Uh, Jay? - ALBERTA: Good news, y'all.

Saul jerked himself off onto Jay.

I'm staying.

I mean, the poor schnook doesn't even know

there's a ghost attached to him.

Saul is now attached to you.

Oh, come on.

Do we shower in the morning or the night?

You know what? Saul loves a surprise.

I don't know what Thor's talking about.

I rather like your hat.

[chuckles] You little charmer.

Yeah, but I like the woman underneath even more.

- Oh. - Mm.

I'm sorry.

Sam.

Do you really need to be here?

It's my room.

What's happening?

What did Saul say?

Oh, I was talking to Alberta.

Alberta's in here, too?

She's not attached to anyone.

I hate this.

She's hanging out with Saul.

It's just...

it's a little hard for me and Saul

to express ourselves physically

with you right there.

Yeah, I mean Jay's one thing. He needs to be here.

But you, well...

You know, that's just weird.

Uh, okay, I mean, I guess

I could go downstairs

and just maybe catch up on some emails.

Wait, what? Please tell me you're taking Alberta with you.

I'm taking Alberta with me.

Really?

Jay, what do you want me to say here?

Nope. Mm-mm.

I'm not gonna lie here while two ghosts

canoodle on top of me,

so I'm gonna go make some tea.

You talk to Alberta and you figure this out.

Let's go, Saul.

He didn't have to say that,

but I appreciate the warning.

I'll see you later.

Okay, when they get back, you tell Jay I left.

Then, when he falls asleep, you make yourself scarce.

And don't worry-- I'll keep the humming to a minimum.

Look, I'm excited for you, but this isn't sustainable.

Sam, it's been a long time since I've met a ghost

that I'm interested in.

This is a desert, and I'm parched,

and in walks this tall drink of water.

Do you really want to deny me that?

We got to tell Isaac about this, right?

I mean, getting a lap dance is one thing,

but getting a lap dance from your ex?

I mean, that's just naughty.

Hey, what happens at a bachelor party

stays at a bachelor party.

It's a rule, Pete.

Well, I do love following rules.

ISAAC: So?[all exclaim]

How was the bachelor party, hmm?

I trust the limericks

were sufficiently ribald?[laughing]

Nigel got a lap dance from Jenkins!

- Pete! - Oh, sorry.

Uh, uh, what is a lap dance?

Well, it's... THOR: Lap dance is when

someone working their way through school

grinds their loins against someone else's loins.

That's pretty good, actually.

Uh-oh.

I hope you boys aren't

recounting any of the racier limericks from last night.

Because that would be a real stag don't. [laughs]

What exactly happened last night

between you and Jenkins?

It was all innocent.

Just a bit of stag do fun. In fact,

you should get a lap dance at your party tonight.

No, thank you. I don't want Jenkins in my lap.

It doesn't have to be Jenkins.

What if we ask Sam to get you a real stripper?

Do they make house calls?

Pete, you're adorable.

That's a splendid idea.

Then you can see it was all in good fun.

Oh, hey, Sam,

we need you to hire a stripper

for Isaac's bachelor party tonight.

- Okay. - Really? That worked?

There's a lot weirder stuff happening.

You caught me on a good week.

[whispering]: Jay.

- Why are you whispering? - Shh, shh, shh. Saul's asleep.

[whispering]: Is it 'cause they were doing it all night?

Probably.

I can't live like this, Sam.

The thing is, Alberta's been in a desert.

What? What does that mean?

I just think we need to consider her feelings here.

What about my feelings?

I'm a person, too, Sam.

What if we just gave her, like, another month?

Are you out of your mind?

This is nuts, Sam.

Don't raise your voice at me.

I can't raise my voice, that's the point.

I should be the priority.

I understand Alberta's situation, but I got a guy

following me into the shower.

Shh... Into the bathroom.

It's deeply, deeply weird.

Okay, fine, it is weird.

It's not fair to you.

I think we should just insist

that Saul jerks off onto someone else.

What?

That's what they call it

when they move to another host.

Why not just say that?

[Australian accent]: So, you want me to dance for this empty chair?

Yeah, but if you could pretend

- that there's somebody in it? - Right.

See, the thing is... You don't have to explain.

That's what the money's for.

[clicks tongue]

[chuckles] Hey, don't "tee-hee" at him.

That's Isaac's stripper.

It's fine.

This is all rather silly, to be honest. [laughs]

It's my party, and I'm the bachelor.

Would you maybe roar like a Dilophosaurus?

SAMANTHA: You've traveled

a lot of places with Gene.

What was your favorite?

I guess I'd have to say Italy.

Yeah, there was this small little town

in the mountains, right outside of Positano,

with this restaurant with a little old nonna

who would hand-roll pasta every morning.

The smells were incredible.

What if I told you Jay could take you

to that little Italian town,

and you could jerk off onto that nonna?

Just 'cause they say it doesn't mean we have to.

Oh, there you are. [chuckles]

What's going on?

- Alberta's here. - Aw...

Your Livings here are trying to tear us apart

by bribing me to move to Italy.

What the hell, Sam? I can't believe you.

I get that my relationship is an inconvenience for you,

but that does not give you the right

to sabotage me and Saul, you selfish, selfish woman.

Alberta, I didn't mean to...

Ah-ah-ah! I don't want to hear it.

Come on, Saul.

Can you tell Jay to leave, too?

I'd like Saul to storm out with me.

I'm so sorry about Sam and Jay.

I can't believe they would do that to us.

Yeah, I hear you.

I can't even stand to be around Jay right now,

but, you know.

I mean, they don't know. This could be something real.

Could be? Why, this is something real.

but okay.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I mean it. You don't have to worry now.

- I'm gonna be with you forever. - Ah!

Forever. That's a long time, especially compared to

the two days that we've known each other.

Even when Jay gets old and dies,

I'll simply jerk myself off onto someone else.

And then the next guy

and the next guy and the next...

[music playing on TV]

...and the next guy for a thousand generations.

Just so I can stay with you.

But isn't it painful for you when you do that?

Well, nothing compares to the pain

Oh, my God.

So, don't keep me on tenterhooks.

Do you see now that lap dances are all innocent fun?

Yes. Absolutely. Meant nothing.

About what?

Jay!

So, what is it, my little slice of angel food cake?

Off of that... Saul, I've dated my share

of dishonest men, so I want to be straight with you.

- This ain't working out for me. - I see.

Aw, damn it. Hey, Sam, I-I left my phone in the car.

Sam!

Honey, I'm glad you walked through that door

and grateful for the time we had together.

It's just, um, how do I put this? Uh...

You think I'm clingy, don't you?

That's exactly right. Well said.

Damn it, Saul, you done done it again!

You know, some ghosts theorize that us clingers

are doomed to this existence

because we get too, um... attached.

[both laugh]

Can I get a magazine?

A-Are they done talking?

But I totally get it, Alberta,

and I appreciate your honesty.

I just wish I had known before I left Gene.

I mean, that man took me to see the northern lights last year,

and Jay's taken me to Sonic three times this weekend.

Oh, well, this is where having a Living you can talk to

comes in handy.

GENE: You-you came all the way to Philly to give me an umbrella?

I don't even think this is mine.

Are you a hugger?

I mean, I'm not owed because of the umbrella,

but it would be a nice gesture.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

I'm already back on Gene now.

Come on, buddy.

I don't... I...Come on.

Oh, ho-ho-ho-ho.

Now, that is a clinger.

Ooh, I'm not really sure

how long I'm supposed to stay here.

Alone at last. Wait, we are alone, aren't we?

Saul's definitely gone, right?

Yes, Jay.

You know, this whole thing with Saul and Alberta,

it's just made me realize how lucky we are

to have found each other.

Hmm, we are really lucky.

And it's pretty nice to have our bedroom back to ourselves.

Okay. Hint received.

Should I put on the sexy playlist?
