[Distant train whistle blows]

[Bird cries] Yes, tea! That's my trade!

- Quincy Endicott's health tea. - Your tea sounds good.

Ugh. Never touch the stuff myself.

- Bleh. Me either. - Ha ha! Yes!

It's all for the money! Yes, the money takes my mind off

my troubles ... the deep soul-crushing loneliness.

[Shivers] Yes, the more money I make, the

bigger my mansion gets, the more lost I feel.

[Sobs] Why, this house is so big,

I sometimes don't even know where or who I am!

[Laughs] Yeah, well, I'm glad your

nephews here were able to pay a visit.

- Yeah, yeah! - Yes, what a ... what a

pleasure it is to have company ... a perfect pleasure.

A perfect pleasure, lads! A per... yes, yes. Yeah, yeah.

- Ha ha! Yeah! Ha ha! - # Perfect pleasure, Heather...#

Um, Beatrice, w-why are you pretending I'm

- this guy's nephew? - We need money.

- You're scamming him? - I was thinking more like

- flat-out stealing from him. - What? No way.

Why not? We already stole a horse.

- Hey, guys. - No, we didn't.

Fred's a talking horse. He can do whatever he wants.

I want to steal. [Gasps]

- What?! You guys are bonkers. - If we're going to Adelaide's,

- we need two cents. - Mm-hmm.

Well, you guys do what you ... two cents?

- Only two cents? - Yeah, we need two pennies

to take the ferry to Adelaide's pasture.

Ha ha! Come everyone! Let us retire to the parlor

and enjoy my unnecessary excess of wealth and luxury.

[Laughs] Well, maybe he just has some

loose change somewhere he wouldn't mind us taking.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-Hmm. - Hmm.

[Classical music plays]

Behold, nephew, the majesty of wealth!

Both: Ooh!

[Gasps] What was that?! Uh ...

What's wrong unkie Endicott? Your forehead is all sweaty.

M-My nerves. My ... my ... my ner...

[Chuckles] my nerves are a bust these days.

How come? [Gasps]

Uh, yes, yes. Maybe it would be ... be good to ...

to talk to someone. Well, y...

[Clears throat] Actually, it all began one day

when I was exploring my exceedingly large and

labyrinthine manor here. I happened upon a section of

the house I didn't even recall building.

[Laughs] Isn't that funny?

Must've been the old wing. But it was lit in a rather sort

of eer... eerie ... eerie light. And I pressed on, and then I-I

saw the painting of the most beautiful woman I've ever seen,

and that's when things took a rather strange turn.

From that day on, I was obsessed with the woman in the portrait.

She con... consumed my every thought.

I'd fallen in love ... [chuckles] ... with a ghost.

[Both gasp] Ohhhh.

- It's too big. Get a grip. - Oh, I must sound crazy,

mustn't I? [Chuckles] Perhaps it's time for you all

to leave my treasure-filled home.

- Both: No! - Yeah, unkie!

- I want to see the ghost! - Ohh, how I long to see her

- just once again, as well, yes. - To the painting!

Yes. Yes. [Laughs]

- Ooh, boy! Ghost hunt! - Fred, go with them.

- Buy me some time. - While I'm at it, I'll steal

other stuff, too.

[clock ticking, bell tolling]

[Glass shatters, rustling] We're supposed to just be

- looking for loose change. - That's what I'm ... [gasps]

- Aah! - Oops. That's what I'm doing.

Well, let's try not to break any more ...

- Aah, gah! - Oh, hey.

Hey, you didn't check the armoire.

[Tapping] [both gasp]

Endicott's back. Hide!

- Is that the portrait? - No.

- Is that the portrait? - No.

Look, w-w-why don't I-I just tell you when we

- reach the portrait. - Okay, what's the matter, unkie?

You seem tense.

You know me well, nephew. Yes, the truth is

- I'm frightened. - Of a ghost?

- Ghosts are just floaty things. - Oh, no, no, not afraid

of the ghost. I mean I'm afraid what ...

What ... what if there is no ghost?

What if I'm on the ... on the ... on the ... on the brink of ...

hmm ... madness. Maybe the doctors were right.

Come along, boys! Back to the parlor.

The parlor? What would anyone go

the parlor for? There's nobody in the parlor ...

certainly nobody after your money.

Yeah, no giving up now, old man.

- It's got to be a ghost! - But h-how can you

- be so certain? - 'Cause I really, really want

- to see a ghost ... really bad. - Oh.

- Whew. - Okay, I think they're gone.

- Beatrice? You there? - Bah! Yes, smart guy.

Start searching for change.

Uh, I can't see anything in here. [rustling]

Well, I-I don't think these coats have pockets.

Check the lining. Maybe somebody sewed money

- into the fabric. - Nope.

- Do people even do that? - I've done it on my clothes.

You wear clothes?

Like a little bird vest or something? [laughs]

- Or little bows? - When I was a human, fool.

You used to be human? Did I know that?

- I-I don't think I knew that. - Jiminy Cricket!

Let's just find some coins, all right? Open the door.

It's stuck. Well, guess we have to spend

- some quality time together. - Help!

The greenhouse. [Sniffs]

This is where I grow my camellia for testing new teas.

Perhaps we should savor the ... the quiet tranquility of this ...

this place. [Soothing music plays, water running]

[both sigh deeply]

[Tapping] [Screeches]

- Aah! Aah! Ghost! - Aaaahh!

Aah! Aah! I can't do it!

Uncle Endicott, it's just a funny chicken.

Yes, o-one of my prize-winning roasting peacocks.

Yes, with all this love in my brain, I, uh, forgot

to feed them. It's almost as though

- I've lost my mind. - We can look for that after we

find our ghost. Heave-ho!

[Laughing] Yes, yes. Heave-ho.

Into the abyss... never to return.

[Gasps] Um, anyone want to go back to the parlor?

- Hey. Are you still there? - Yes, Wirt. I'm still here.

- So, how did you become a bluebird? - [Sighs] Hey, what's that?

- Don't change the subject. - Hmm.

[Wind blows] There's a breeze coming

- out of here. - Oh, yeah.

- Whoa! - What?!

A secret entrance! So, about your dark secret.

Hey, how about you tell me your dark secrets instead, huh?

My secrets are too secret. Hey, look. Light.

Whoa. Now who's avoiding the question?

- You. - Fine.

I threw a rock at a bluebird, and it cursed me and my family,

and now we're all bluebirds. Happy? Now you go.

Whoa. Y-Your whole family?

- Yeah. - Is that why you're going

- to Adelaide's ... to fix things? - That was the plan, but ...

[Sighs] Yeah, that was the plan.

- It'll all work out. - All I know is I am never

going back till I can make them human again.

I'd do pretty much anything. [Sighs]

All right. My turn, huh? Okay.

Well, it's weird to admit it, but, well, I-I have this

- crush on this girl. - Mm-hmm.

- That's all. - That's all?

And I think about her a lot, and I play clarinet.

- Wirt! You got to be kidding me. - And I secretly whisper

poetry to myself in my room at night.

Wirt, that stuff's not weird. Those are just ...

[Sighs] well, the poetry thing is weird.

But those are just character traits.

- You played clarinet? - Sort of.

- What else do you do? - I don't know.

Uh ... hey. Does this room look different to you?

- Uh, how so? - It's like French-rococo style.

That doesn't really seem in line with Endicott's

- Georgian sensibilities. - How ... what?

Who on Earth am I talking to right now?

Should I not know that sort of stuff?

Endicott probably just built it without thinking, right?

Or ... whoa. Yeah. W-What if the ghost he was

talking about was actually...

[Whimpering]

This is the room where ... the room where I first saw her.

- Whoa! Just a bedroom? - Just a bedroom, my nephew?

This is the chamber of mine own

true love, and here she stands, hovering above us

- like the blinding sun. - Hmm. No ghost?

- No ghost? Then I am... mad. - Don't be mad.

Hey. What's this suspicious

- mess over here? - It looks like there was

a struggle ... a violent struggle. [Plop!]

What are you implying, my equine friend?

Nothing, nothing. I'm just ... Endicott is a crazed lunatic

who did away with the lady of the house and is now

- pretending to own the place! - What?!

Who do you think you are, making accusa... I see it now.

You're after my money. Do you know what I did

for this money ... t-the things these filthy hands have done

- to make this money?! - I'll never steal again,

I swear. I'll get an honest job.

- And what say you, nephew? - Uh, I'm confused.

Well, then ... [ghostly wailing]

[Screams] She comes for me!

Wait, unkie! Face your fears! [Gasps]

[Sighs dramatically]

Mr. Endicott? Are you all right?

Psst! Ghost. [Gasps]

What do you want with me, spirit?

Spirit? But you're the ghost.

My lady, I assure you I am flesh and blood and I ...

[Breathes deeply] I welcome you to my home.

Your home? Good sir, you're in my home.

- Impossible! - Look here. You see?

This is my camellia garden for my tea company.

Margueritte Grey?! Why, with all due respect,

- madam, this is my tea garden. - Quincy Endicott?!

Your guys' mansions are so huge they're actually connected.

So you ... you mean that beautiful ghost

- was really just... - That dashing specter was really just...

Both: My business competitor?

[Bird cries] Well, Greg, my boy, I can't

thank you enough for helping me to face my fears.

You're a ... you're a sweet boy with good sense.

Take this penny and start your fortune.

And here's one from me, as well.

Hey, nice. Now we can ride the ferry.

Well, everybody, I think it's time we head to

Adelaide of the pasture, the good woman of the woods.

Uh, what about you, Fred? Are you coming with us?

No, thanks. I've got a real job now as

- an official tea horse. - Well, then I guess that's it.

- Off you go, the lot of you. - Goodbye.

- Goodbye. - Both: Goodbye.

And don't forget to buy Endicott brand tea.

Hey, Wirt. You did good back there.

- Yeah? - You got a lot more going

for you than I thought. Huh?

[Discordant accordion plays]

Greg! Our pennies! Why did you do that?!

'Cause uncle Endicott pegged me all wrong ...

I've got no "cents," no "cents" at all. [Croaks]
