We open the scene with the McGee's in the car, they are singing their cleaning song as they had just bought cleaning supplies
Molly: ♪ Oh, it's the McGee's cleaning song ♪
Darryl: ♪ Everybody sing along ♪
Nightwolf: ♪ The house is really dirty ♪
Sharon and Pete: ♪ So today we're intervening ♪
All: ♪ By cleaning♪ The basement!
Scratch: Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. You've already ruined the rest of my house, now you want to ruin my precious basement, too?
She putting on gloves
Molly: Scratch, if you love the basement so much, why don't you live down there?
Scratch: Uh, ew, no. Moldy. I'm upset by the principle of the thing. How would you like it if I messed with your things?
A bang is heard, then the car's engine stops working
Scratch: I understand why you both think I did that, but I didn't.
The McGee's are pushing the car through the streets while Scratch stays inside doing nothing. The cars behind them are honking
Sharon: I really hope we can afford these repairs.
She grunts
Sharon: Our finances are... tight.
Darryl: Don't worry, Mom. I have a no-risk business investment! Full disclosure, it requires access to cryptocurrency, frequent travel to Sweden, and, uh, a stomach for danger.
Pete: Not falling for that. Again.
Nightwolf: Since our whole family uses the van, we should all pitch in. We will forgo my allowance. Darryl, will, too.
Darryl: What? You both can't forgo me!
Pete: No forgoing! Kids, keep your allowances. It's probably just a small teeny-tiny problem that won't cost much money to fix.
Mechanic: It's a huge problem. It's gonna cost a lot of money to fix.
[Bell chimes]
Pete: I don't suppose you take an old Sub Shack punch card? It's got a free BLT!
Mechanic: Eh-eh.
He anxiously
Pete: Uh, spit balling here, are we sure we even need a van? We could all just stay at home, going absolutely nowhere with our lives. Forever! Doesn't that sound fun, kids? Help.
Sharon: With all the moving costs, utility bills, credit card debt, and now we have another mouth to feed.
All look at Scratch
Scratch: I'm a growing ghoul!
He goes inside car and eat a BLT and close the car glass
Sharon: It's been a tough year for the McGee's family savings account.
Pete: May it rest in peace.
They concerned
Molly: Uh, are we gonna be okay?
Sharon: Don't worry. McGee's always make it work. And now that we're settled down in our forever home, it makes sense to have a second income. That's right... Mama's gettin' a job!
The car's broke engine and tire and door breaks
Scratch: That was also not me.
He sitting on top of Pete's head
Scratch: Why do we live so faraway?
She gasps
Sharon: I should be a meter maid. Then I get paid to tell people they're bad parkers. You know I'd love that.
Nightwolf: Yeah, I mean, personally, We see you as a brain surgeon. Although that's not really a "starting today" thing.
Darryl: I'm telling you, Mom, reconsider nuisance lawsuits. I know a lawyer named Ramón who is not encumbered with so-called "ethics".
He whistles
He spots a Sam's Diner "help wanted" sign in the window
Scratch: Diner. Help wanted sign. Bang. Solved it. Like always, Scratch is the hero. Go cook.
The McGee's turn to Scratch in terror as Sharon approaches him in rage
Nightwolf: Oh, Great Spirit Here We Go Again.
Sharon: I worked in my parents' restaurant growing up,
[Demonic voice]
Sharon: and that was enough kitchen work for a lifetime. NEVER SAY "GO COOK" AGAIN!
He shrieks
He hides behind Molly and Nightwolf
She whispering
Molly: This morning Nightwolf and I caught her glaring at the stove.
The McGee's are in the kitchen
She growls at the stove
Scratch: Whoa. You were not kidding.
He groans
Sharon: Well, it's still cleaning day. Pete, you and the boys go ahead and start in on the basement.
Darryl: Aw...
Scratch: What do you mean "boys"?
They hands Scratch the cleaning supplies
He grunts
They head to the basement unenthusiastically
Pete: ♪ It's the McGee's cleaning song ♪
Darryl: ♪ Hope it doesn't take too long ♪
Sharon: Don't worry. I'll take care of the van situation.
Molly and Nightwolf and Sharon POV
The scene then switches from Sharon being positive to completely desperate
She is in the kitchen with Molly and Nightwolf
Sharon: I have no idea how to take care of the van situation!
Nightwolf: Okay...
Sharon: Where do you even find jobs anymore?
Molly: Well, we could look at--
Sharon: Or the newspaper? Do they even make newspapers anymore?
Nightwolf: Oh, Sharon. Sharon! Sharon!
Nightwolf: We don't know, okay? But they make apps. They make apps.
He takes Molly's phone and shows Sharon an app called Gig Pig
Sharon: Huh. Gig Pig.
Molly: It's for odd jobs. Someone needs a job done, you do it, you get paid, Mama.
Sharon: Quick cash. Just what we need! Good thinking!
[App oinks]
They get a notification for a job
Sharon: Ooh! That was fast! Looks like I've got my first job.
Molly: We're coming with! This is a family problem and if you're doing your part, then We'll do mine, too! What's the gig?
Sharon: "Handing out free food."
Footsteps are heard and a door shuts loudly
He shows up
Scratch: Ok, fine, I'll come!
Darryl and Pete POV
While Molly, Nightwolf, Sharon, and Scratch are off to their first job, Pete and Darryl get ready to start cleaning the basement
Pete: Where do we start?
He spots a centipede on the other side of the room
Darryl: Whoa! That's the biggest centipede I've ever seen. They say if you see one centipede, there's a thousand more you can't see.
He goes on to lift a box
Pete: I think those are cockroaches...
The box Darryl lifted has multiple centipedes under that are now moving around the room
Darryl: Nope. Centipedes, too!
All the centipedes crawl on top of Pete
He screams
Pete: CLEAR THEM OUT!
Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch and Sharon POV
They are giving out free snacks
Sharon: Free protein bars! I scream, you scream, we all scream for protein!
He shows up and takes a protein
Scratch: Mmm.
He gags
He spits and throws it away
Scratch: Gah! You know, I eat food right out of the garbage. But this... this is garbage!
She offering tot he people walking by
Sharon: Protein bar? Protein bar?
A man with Scratch's protein bar walks by annoyed
Sharon: Oh, I see you already have one. Please, tell me, did we make enough money yet?
Nightwolf: Uh...
He show Molly's phone and checks the app
[chimes and oinks]
A money meter increases a little showing the amount of money they currently have gained
Nightwolf: Not yet, but we have a new job!
Sharon: Thank heavens!
He stepping out of a garbage can
Scratch: I gotta cleanse my palate.
He starts eating the garbage
He slurps
Darryl and Pete POV
He tries to get rid of the centipedes while Darryl sits back
Pete: You don't belong here!
He screams
Pete: Begone, you foul beasts!
He holding a centipede
Darryl: Goochie-goo.
As Pete tries to hit the centipedes, he ends up hitting boxes around. A few of the boxes, once removed, reveal a small metal door.
He gasps
Darryl: Dad, I think I found something!
Pete: Hopefully not more centipedes.
Darryl: Even better! A tiny mysterious old-timey door! Can we open it?
Pete: Darryl, I'm not exaggerating when I say I've been waiting my entire life for a moment like this.100 P, we are opening it!
A centipede then crawls on top of Pete's hand making him jump in fear
He screams
Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch and Sharon POV
They are trying to walk some dogs in order to get payed but the dogs refuse to cooperate
Sharon: Come on, dogs! You walk, you poop, you pay us. I though we had a deal!
He shows up, eating the treats Molly and Nightwolf are offering to the dogs
Even though he is using his invisibility powers
Molly: Huh?
The dogs see him
They growling at Scratch
Scratch: Wait, can dogs see me?
They barking at Scratch
Scratch: I don't like it, make it stop!
He tries to run from the dogs but they chase him
They are forced to follow them because of the leash
She screaming
Molly: Mom!
Darryl and Pete POV
They intrigue to know what's inside, try to open the mysterious tiny door. Multiple centipedes come out of the lock and scare Pete
Pete: Aah!
Before they stop trying, Pete launches himself towards the door, hitting his head
They grunts
Multiple centipedes landed on top of Pete's body
Pete: Ahh!
They hitting the door
They shouting
He wearing a helmet lying on skateboard towards the door, hitting his head
Pete: Ahh!
Darryl: Come on, door! Please open! And please have something cool inside!
He sitting up
Pete: I bet it's a secret vault where an old gangster stored his loot!
He starts to imagine as he speaks
Pete: Forget fixing the van, we'll be able to buy a new one! Maybe one that's electric, and drives itself, and has a cupholder...No, two cupholders!
Darryl: No, there're only one explanation to where all these centipedes came from. That door obviously leads to another world. A Centipede World!
The scene switches, showing Darryl's idea of the Centipede World
Darryl: There's a centipede mayor and a centipede school. A centipede shoe store, a centipede florist. Maybe a centipede jail filled with super-buff centipede convicts!
Centipede Convict: Everyday is leg day!
Darryl: We'll charge admission and make millions!
Pete: Love it. Counterpoint. I don't think Centipede World is real.
Darryl: Remember when you didn't think ghosts were real?
Pete: Mm, um...Okay, you raise a good point. Either way, we need to know!
Darryl: We need to know.
Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch and Sharon POV
They are in a barn. Molly and Nightwolf are petting a buffalo while Scratch struggles to avoid the buffalo that can see him
Scratch: Buffalo can also see me!?
Scratch: Ahh!
Sharon: Ok, next task..."Shovel buffalo patties".
Nightwolf: What are buffalo patties--? Ugh.
They gags
He yells
Nightwolf: Do we have enough money to pay for the van repairs yet?
Her app gets notification of money received
Sharon: Not nearly enough.
Molly: Mom, it's not enough...yet. Let's get gigging, piggins!

[Oinks]
He winks
Darryl and Pete POV
The scene cuts from Sharon to Pete and Darryl who have built a machine to open the tiny door
Darryl: Dad, no matter what's behind this door, I will remember this moment forever.
Pete: Me, too. This is the moment where you and I, father and son, worked together to unravel a mystery beyond all imagination and save this family from financial ruin!
He starts the machine engine, both then start pushing it forward
Darryl: Come on, Centipede World!
Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch and Sharon POV
The scene switches to Sharon who is exhausted from all the gigs
She sits on a bench in the park and sets a box filled with working materials down
She sighs
Molly: Every...thing...hurts...
Scratch: At least you weren't viciously attacked by wild hounds! And look at my little cutie bit
He signals to his hair which is munched
Scratch: Now it looks like old gum!
[Dog barking]
Scratch: Ahh!
Nightwolf: How are we doing, Sharon? We gotta be close to our goal by now.
She takes her phone to check the money meter which is now filled to the top
Sharon: We did it! We actually did it!
Molly: We did it?
They both stand and cheers
They laughter
Nightwolf: See? When we come together as a family, there's nothing we can't accomplish!
Sharon: Yeah, Mom and the McGee's are unstoppable!
Her phone rings, she picks up
Sharon: Pete, honey! Great news, we just--
She sitting down
Sharon: Wait!
[Toilet flushing down]
Sharon: What?
Darryl and Pete POV
Scene switches to show Pete on the other end of the phone. The basement is filled with water
Pete: Yeah, craziest thing. We were just down here cleaning, and only cleaning, and suddenly BOOM! So...
He chuckles
Pete: We're gonna need a new hot water heater... Hello? H-Honey? Honey? And she hung up.
Darryl: Though Mom can never know the truth, and though it'll cost us hundreds of dollars to fix...can you really put a price on the bond between a father and his son?
Pete: No, son. No you can!--
A centipede on top of a floating box approaches Darryl and Pete, scaring Pete once again and making him try to row himself away
He screams
Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch and Sharon POV
Back to Sharon and Molly and Nightwolf and Scratch
She sighs
Sharon: We fix one problem, another one crops up.
Molly: We're sorry Mom, being a grown up must be hard, but We're proud of you! Sure there was hard work and silly costumes, and multiple types of poop, but you gave it your all to make us some money! And that's awesome!
Sharon: Aw, look at you two. always finding the silver lining. You know, I liked getting out there, too! I should keep being a Gig-Pig! Our family clearly need the cash.
