RUMBLE OF THUNDER
AAAGH! AAAAH!
No-o-o-o!
We had this traffic cone and we were passing it round and Midge went, "Danny's asleep!"
So we shoved all the jelly right down. And his mouth, right... Morning.
Look at that.
Yeah, it's nice, Danny, but is that the most appropriate place for it?
Maybe where we're not eating?
I'm not looking for a home for it. I found that next to my head.
That's weird. Did you put it there?
Why would I want to put a stuffed bird next to your head?
To freak me out so I'd crap the bed? It wasn't me.
Did you crap the bed? No! Look, someone put this thing in my room and it scared the hell out of me.
Oh, is that why you were screaming? I thought you were being murdered.
How come you didn't try to save me?
No, I almost did, but then I... fell back to sleep.
It must have been Weird Bloke.
What?!
(Why would Weird Bloke creep in and do that?)
Pretty creepy even by his standards.
I've heard it's a sign of impending death.
First he gives you a bird, then he rips your face off.
He's probably right, Danny. You're not making me feel much better.
I'm guessing Weird Bloke put that thing in the fridge as well. What thing?
HEAVY BREATHING
What the hell is that?
Looks like a monkey's paw.
He's the Angel of Death.
It's one thing to stay in his room for five weeks,
but sneaking into my room at night is just not on. You're making it a bit deal.
It's probably just a gift. It's Halloween. How would you like it if he crept into your room? My room?
Why's he coming into my room? You're the one he wants. See?
It's not such a nice thought. BELL RINGS
What are you doing? I've got a lecture. I'll wait here.
Think about the party invites.
Listen, man, forget Weird Bloke. We've got a great night planned.
Don't let him ruin it. I suppose. It's the party of the decade, man!
It's going to transform our lives and turn us into kings!
Tonight will go down in party history. Aren't you building it up a bit much? Absolutely not.
I've organised the costumes, the booze, flyers. Reckon we should invite Fleur and Fleder... hosen?
It's Flundergraft. No, I think that date destroyed any chance there.
They can't say it wasn't interesting. We spent the whole night burping, farting and frothing. We ARE men.
And then I passed out unconscious.
It was the worst date in history. I've had worse. When? A girl back home. I vommed in her mouth. Yeah!
That was worse. Anyway, there'll be plenty of other girls at the party.
Yeah(!) That's the great thing. Why go chasing after the women?
The women can come to us!
Hey!
What's that? Another sign of impending death.
Oh, my God! Weird Bloke? I wonder(!) Who else could have done it?
What the hell is that?! Weird Bloke did it. Why? Because he's weird!
He does weird things. That's why we call him Weird Bloke.
Maybe it's a reminder that life's short, painful and meaningless. And he's going to slit our throats.
It might not be that! Do you think you've a mild obsession with death?
No. So what are we gonna do?
Do you think we should move it? We don't want it here for the party. It might freak people out.
Don't touch it! Ah! It might have evil powers.
It might turn us into a frog or, worse, a cat. Why is a cat worse?
Cos a frog's an amphibian. But a cat can always land on its feet. And lick its own genitals.
Yeah. Yeah. Can we discuss what to do with this monstrosity? It's hideous!
We should call the police. "There's weird wood in the flat!"
Tell them we live with a psycho, potentially with evil powers, who might be planning to kill us all!
I've got to hand out these invites.
Oi! Weird Bloke! You've left your toys out again!
This better get moved by the time I get back.
# Pray for the people inside your head... #
Want to come to the best party in town?.. OK.
Halloween party? It's going to be insane.
Halloween party? Halloween party? Please! It'll be good!
Halloween party. Be there. It's going to be amazing.
You're coming. You're coming.
Don't miss it.
Halloween!
Hi. Hi.
Do you want a cup of tea? No, I'm fine, thanks. How's it going?
OK.
Did you get my photo? Yeah, I did.
Thanks. It was...
It was beautiful.
Well, that was how it was supposed to look.
You don't honestly believe I'd put Shane's hairy ginger rump on my project? I know.
I just wanted to apologise again. Again. Again.
I keep messing up and I just want us to be friends.
Well, I guess since Weird Bloke's gonna murder us anyway, we might as well be.
And thanks for moving the Devil's climbing frame. That's all right.
It's quite quiet here. Without Shane. Isn't it?
Yeah.
It is.
Party people! Come and get your costumes!
I've got costumes for everyone! Where's Scarlet? Get out here!
There you go, darling. What's that? Belly dancer!
Nice try. Don't think so. Where's your sense of fun? YOU wear it.
I don't have a problem with it. Step away from the bra!
Fred! There you go, mate. You got Fred a monkey costume? It's what he asked for.
I always wear a monkey costume. Did you get me Spider-man? Even better than that.
A Mexican wrestler! I told you to get me Spider-man!
What are you - six?! You want to stand out.
Not looking like a spoon! Fine. I'll be the Mexican wrestler.
You can be the gladiator or the belly dancer. Belly dancer!
Gladiator. Boring! There you go. So you handed out all the flyers, yeah?
Only got a couple left. "Come to a spooktastic party! It will be phantom-tabulous!"
Yes! Boys and girls, this will be the Halloween party to end them all.
The king of Halloween... No, no. The emperor of Halloween parties.
Guys, this is going to be the god of Halloween parties!
Did you not put the address on it?
Huh?
Hi, guys. How you doing? Good... Girls, need a drink?
Hey, there he is! The guy.
It's not really the god of parties. I just spent the whole afternoon telling people where we live!
What is this music?! I'll change it! Did you tell them it's fancy dress? I can't think of everything! Great.
Look, it doesn't matter. It helps them recognise us. As total freaks.
Man! More chicks! Great. I'm going to get drinks. You look after them.
Hi!
Hakuna matata!
Hey!
This is great. We had a little problem with the flyers. Hope it'll fill up later. This is fantastic.
It reminds me of this feast they held for me in Malawi. I'm so glad you came in fancy dress.
We were beginning to feel really stupid. We thought we'd be the only ones.
But I'm not in fancy dress.
Keith came in fancy dress! I must have told some people.
Man, nice costume. You look ridiculous.
Danny, can I talk to you for a second?
Hey, Scarlet! You're looking hot. Did I ever tell you about the children I saved in Malawi?
Are you all right? I wanted this to be a great party and look at it!
Come on. It could be worse.
How?!
I'm off. Bye now. Dude!
OK, so it's not ideal.
Not ideal? It's not anything. It's an embarrassment!
And the mothers would sit in a circle and sing to their children...
Mate - that girl, is she looking at me?
Yeah, I think she is. Talk to her. Yeah, you're right. I should talk to her.
I'm the host of the party. Yeah. The party king. Take the mask off.
Good call. Yeah. And Shane... What?
Just, you know, be... be cool. Mate, look who you're talking to.
Ah, sorry!.. Whoo!
Hey! SHE GIGGLES
Drink? Yeah. I'll get you it.
Hi.
Thanks. I'm Shane.
I'm Alison. Hi.
I couldn't help noticing you were winking at me over there.
Oh, no, I wasn't. No? I could have sworn I saw you winking.
Oh. Look.
I've got a lazy eye. Oh! Well, you can hardly notice it.
So, anyway, this is your party? Yeah, I'm the host.
Along with Gladiator there and Monkey Boy here.
We're in fancy dress, in case you thought this is how we dress. Yeah. I save this for special occasions.
Christenings, funerals... Yeah?
I do like this costume, though. I think it accentuates... my best attributes.
Oh.
Which attributes?
My... testicles.
Do you want a drink? You've got one. I'll get one. Yeah.
Cheers.
There's not many people here, is there, yet? There's a few.
Yeah. It's a bit lame, though, isn't it?
There's about eight people here.
I was trying to keep it intimate. I could get loads more.
Really? Oh, yeah. Easy.
How?
I'll show you. You wait there.
OK?
Everyone, come on up! There's an amazing party! It's all kicking off!
It's the party of the decade! Booze! Music! It's Halloween!
There's a guy riding a pig up here!
See? All you need to do is shout out the window and the people will come.
Like that line from that Kevin Costner film.
What line? "Shout out the window and the people will come. "
Not too rough with the monkey.
The thing is that it creates a rhythm that's not just primal, but it's also spiritual.
Can I borrow Scarlet? I need some help with the music. My God, yes!
I was going to whack that stick over his head!
Do you want to dance? Yeah, let's dance. OK, great.
This is unbelievable!
MUSIC STUTTERS
Ohh!
PAINFUL, POUNDING BEAT
We'll sort it out! Don't worry!
What the hell's gone wrong? I didn't do it! I can't turn it down! It's Weird Bloke's music!
Weird Bloke's taken over the airwaves, employing his dark powers.
Man, this is unbearable!
Alison! You're not going, are you? I'm going. I'm getting a headache.
We're going to sort it out! Honestly, it's too much for me!
Er, OK... Just wait!
POUNDING NOISE
Aaaargh!
Er, sorry, everyone, about that. It's just... a minor problem there with the stereo,
but we're OK now. We're gonna keep the party going. All right?
Guys.
What do we do now? We've no stereo. You just smashed it up!
Don't worry - be happy!
SINGS IN AFRICAN DIALECT
How did Weird Bloke even do that? Is it even possible?
I was going to get in there with Alison!
And this is much, much worse!
IN AFRICAN DIALECT
Listen, I really think I'm going to go now. No! Why? Have another beer.
Well, I just went to get one and I found what I think is a monkey's paw in the fridge.
That's Weird Bloke's.
We're not letting him ruin this. We can still make this a party to remember. How?
Firstly, Keith, stop plucking that coat hanger!.. Thank you.
OK... OK, hello, everyone! Hi!
Does anyone who lives in this building have a spare stereo?
Yes, Brainiac! Brilliant! Go get it!
Now! Come on! Go, go, go! OK, while he's getting that, everyone will do a party trick.
And that means everyone. GROANS
- I can do a Nepalese fire dance. - No!
First up, we've got a hilarious guy. You're really gonna love him.
Please welcome the comedy stylings of Mr Danny Gordon.
OK, so there once was a priest. A priest! Yeah. A priest and a tree...
SCOUSE: Oh, my God! It's freezing!
Hi! I'm Alison!
Ow!
Awright, hen? I'm a little bit cold after that night out. Scottish!
Ow. That really hurt. Stop it!
OK... Ow! Yes, thank you, Alison. That was terrifying.
GROANS Eh?
# What's the point in waking up? #
Fred... # What's the point of getting out of bed?
# What's the point of anything
# When we're all going to end up dead?
THEY SING ALONG # What's the point... #
What do you think? They like it.
# What's the point?
# What's the po-oint
# When we're all gonna die? #
That includes you.
Hey, everyone! It's the geek with the stereo!
Thanks.
This has actually turned into a really good party. Thanks.
It helps when the host is willing to act like a complete idiot just to impress his guests.
See, I told you. You'd have missed it.
It's getting really hot in here. You feel that, too?
- Turn on the lights! - Fire alarm!
Don't go! Can I have your number? Your mobile number? OK. Have you got a pen?
No. Just tell me. I'll remember. OK. 0 double 7... Yeah... double 0. Yeah... 9 double 0
.. 63. All right, got it. Catch you later.
I need a pen! 745...
- 7, 8, 9, 10. - Keith, what are you doing?!
- I'm counting everybody out. - You made me forget the number!
No-o-o-o!
Ohhh...
Do you want to wear my cloak? Yeah, all right.
Thanks.
Uh, thanks, Danny(!) I'm practically naked.
You're already wearing a cloak.
I noticed the Weird Bloke didn't come out. He's set off the alarm!
Do you think? Of course! He's been determined to ruin this party since the beginning!
FIRE ALARM STOPS
Oh, thank God.
You know what? It doesn't happen very often, but I'm angry.
Who does Weird Bloke think he is, scaring off our guests?
I was about to get a snog in! It is quite out of order.
It's more than that, Danny. BANG out of order is what it is.
I've had enough.
I think it's about time we taught Weird Bloke what it means to be... a normal bloke.
How?
By getting him out of his room. That's how.
Are you sure that's a good idea?
Scared? No, I'm not... I'm not scared.
Frightened? No! Are you a bit...
HE CLUCKS
Shane, stop it!
Right. We're going to get him out of his room.
Great. Scarlet, are you in? Yeah, sure. Why not?
Fred? He's going to kill us all anyway. Might as well get it over and done with. That's the spirit.
He's locked us out. The final straw!
Oi, you weird, freakazoid maniac! Get out of here right now!
Show your face, you coward! I know you're in there! Oi!
Weirdo, get out here now! You crazy, freaking maniac! Shane...
Show your face! Shane, stop it! Why, Danny?!
Cos that's not our flat.
Sorry, mate. Nice one, Shane(!)
Sorry.
'Doors closing. '
WEIRD BLOKE'S MUSIC PLAYS
Ahem!
There's no answer. That wasn't banging on the door! That was stroking it. Do it properly.
Let me do it.
Come out, you freak! You've been in there for five weeks!
MUSIC STOPS
Right. Your go, Fred.
Aaaargh! He's got Fred!
Release Fred!
Aaah!
Danny's been blinded! Are you OK?!
I think so! I think it's just deodorant. We need to wash it out.
Aow!
Ohh... oh, yeah.
That's nice. Yeah? Yeah. How's that? That's really good.
CREAKING
FOOTSTEPS
Fred?
Are you OK? What happened in there?
What's going on? Oh, God, no. Fred's been zombified.
No, I haven't.
Who's this? Oh, this is Weird Bloke.
You're... Weird Bloke?
But you're a...
.. with the...
So you ruined this party AND cost me a snog?
You've got a lot to answer for.
Aaaaaaah!
Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that.
You lot are lucky you've got Fred.
Not only is he incredibly funny and blindingly talented,
but he also persuaded me not to burn all your belongings.
But...
if you go near my room again,
I'm going to make your miserable little life
a living hell.
Danny? Yeah?
I think I fancy Weird Bloke.
