- Rachel! You scared me.

- Sorry, I just wanted to tell you I got home from the party.

Wow, that is a lot of leftover candy.

- [Autumn] Yeah, we didn't get a lot of trick-or-treaters tonight.

- You weren't going to eat it, were you?

- [Autumn] I was about to. Why?

- Have you ever heard of the dentist?

- No, never.

- Well, legend says that if you eat candy right before bed,

this deranged dentist will come find you

and pluck all of your teeth out with pliers.

[foreboding music]

Relax, Autumn. 

It's just a story that parents tell their kids.

- [Autumn] Yeah, I know that.

- Okay. Well,

I'm off to bed, so wish me good luck.

- Good luck.

Not worth the risk.

I'm afraid those are going to have to come out.

LET GO.
