Modern Family:The life in a crazy family

Halloween

"All right, so, everybody has to be here at 5:30 to rehearse our House of Horrors. You guys have your costumes ready?" Claire asked

"Yeah, but it's a secret. Me and Manny came up with something together" Luke said

"I love that!"

"Can I have some candy?"

"No. How about you,girls?"

"Mom, I have no time. This week I'm full of exams. I barely have time to eat" Sophie said

"Well, I haven't really thought about it either. I've got, like, three huge exams tomorrow" Alex said

"You can't just slap something together at the last minute. You know, if you two gave this costumes half as much time and attention as you give your homework, you wouldn't be in this situation"

"Check it. I'm a scary black cat" Haley said entering the kitchen

"The only person that costume scares is me" Sophie said

"She's right go change it" Claire told her

"To what?"

"I don't know.One of your old costumes. Honey, trust me. I am sparing you an entire day of guys asking you if you have a rough tongue"

"Ew" Haley said and then left

Later

"What the hell is that?!" Sophie asked

"What?Mom told me to put on an old costume" Haley said

"Not from when you were 8. Are you trying to get candy or Japanese businessmen? Change it. Go" Claire told her

Later

"Behold my creation!Monster, do my bidding!" Luke said

"I do as you command, master" Manny said

"So cute" Claire told them then Haley arrived

"Okay. Mom. You cannot have a problem with this. I'm mother Teresa"

"Is she serious?" Sophie said

"What? I'm her back when she was hot"

"I will pay you $10 to go put on more clothes" Claire told her

"Bet it's the first time you ever heard that one" Alex said

"Okay. You know what?Here. Here we go.Here you go. Let's just cover you up" Claire said covering Haley up

"All right, now, I just want to run through this really quick with everybody. Um, first, it's"trick or treat?And then, Phil..."

"Come in if you dare"

"Right, and then dad does the thunder and the lightning and the fog. Usher the children in past Alex and Sophie theirs cage"

"We're in a cage?"

"Yes!You two are in a House of Horrors being held against your will"

"I know, so why do we need the cage?" Sophie said

"And then Gloria pops up as the evil village bruja, and she says..."

"Welcome to your nightmare.Ah ha ha ha ha!"

"And the Cam and Haley do their thing. Kids get their candy.They are ushered out.They think it's all over, but it's not!Because out on the porch, the scarecrow pops to life..."

"Wow! For one final "aah!".And that's Mitchell, you're the scarecrow!"

"Oh, no, no.I was in a costume all day.It was awful"
