Homer, I woke to find an owl eating a mouse on the pillow next to me.
I think that's mean it's 6 weeks till autumn It means you'll have to fix the roof! Don't worry honey! I found us a Roofer last nite And you'll never guess where Knockers on route 98.
How did you know? I'm phsycic! Look! I do not know if I want a roofer who hangs at the bars.
Oh! You're right Marge! I guess I should look a roofers at poetries slams and yoga retreats High five! - Naah! I got standards I don't hand out hi-five like chicklets.
Ray would hi-five me Well, he better hi-five our roof! Yeah, Mom! - Zing! D'oh! Come on kids, we're gonna visit grandpa then we're gonna take the dog to the V-E-T then take Bart to get C-I-R-C-U-M-C-I-S-E-D I'll tell you what it means when it's over.
Hey, Homer! Oh, Ray.
You came at the agreed upon time.
That's what I like about you, Homer! Everything impresses you.
Impresses, what a big word! I'm gonna look that up! Aah! This is gonna take some work! Tell me, was the roof was in good condition when you bought the house? I didn't really checked.
I mainly bought this house for the view.
Someday that bowl will overflow and I'll be there.

Why don't you find a parade and rain on it? Sorry about that pal! No problem.
Accidents happen.
One, two, three, four.
I declare a nail war! That's why I got into roofing! Homer.
Ned, you okay? Yes, but my mower can't get much lower I was wrong.
This is Ned Flanders.
There is one in every neighborhood.
Sorry, man! I gotta go.

Goodbye, Ray.
Bye.
Oouw, he turned the corner.
No, I see him again! Homer! You drooling on my goodwill pile And why is the hole in the roof is even bigger? Do not worry.
Ray will be back any minute It's after 6! He's not comin back! He's a lousy roofer and a flake! Hey, watch what you say about him! I think Ray could be the one! The one what? My new best friend.
We think alike, we act alike, we finish each other's sandwiches I don't wanna hear anymore about Ray Tomorrow morning you buy some shingles and fix that roof yourself! Ray's not gonna like that! You're not married to Ray.
Well if I was, we have taller kids! I'm sure everyone's happier with Santa's little helper were here to love them I bet the old people will be acting like young people Like in that cellfone ads everyone hates.
He's become one of them! Hey boy! Wanna treat? We better get you home! Come on Lisa! right after paxed ajax! Ouwh! Geezzz Louise! You know it's too bad.
We've had that dog as long as I could remember What dog? - Who the hell are you? I wish I knew You know, son, my father used to take me to Johnson's hardware The old Johnson knew everythin about fixin' stuff When they built this place, he hung himself.
Oh, sorry son.
I wanted you bring me the stack of tiles from the top shelf.
Hey, Ray is here! Hi, Homer.
Look, I just came down with a case of shingles What's in the box? Hey, I'm really sorry I never made it back yesterday I hope we're still friends? Of course we are If you wannabe? I wannabe, if you wannabe I'll tell you what? Let me get a few more supplies and then i'll come right over and finish your roof! Hey Dad? Remember when you said if I used chainsaw unsupervised, I'd hurt myself Well, you were wrong.
I hurt someone else.
I have 45 minutes to get ready to the prom.
What are you doing? Why aren't you fixing the roof? I don't have to Ray's gonna be here any minute I'm so sick of hearing of that stupid unreliable Ray Who by the way, I've never even met! Alright then you can just look at the portrait I painted of him Homer! How'd you think I'd feel when I saw that? Something like that! Homer, come down for dinner! did you make enough for Ray? Ray's not coming! He is to! His truck will come around the corner, right now Right now! Right now! Now.
Now.
Homer, I know where Ray is Oh, thank God! Where is he? Tell me.
Sweetheart, your friend Ray is in your head! Ray would'nt fit in my head He is the human man! You have to understand Ray does not exist.
Yes, he does! He's on his way.
And when he gets here We will ever so much fun.
You'll see.
We'll laugh Laugh! Hey, What's goin on? Where are my shoes? Struggle all you want Homer There's nothing you can do.
Why Excuse us for a moment.
What am I doing here? Let me go.
We're let you go when you admit there's no Ray Magini Fine I admit it! Help me, Ray! Appearance strike them down! Homer, no one has ever seen Ray but you.
But that's not true Bart saw'em at the builders barn No, I didn't Dad! I saw you talkin to yourself Flanders, you saw Ray on the roof with me! Sorry, Homer.
You're gonna have to call me aretheist cause I don't believe I saw him Ned, are you ok? There has to be someone who saw him! someone who doesn't hate me, like Flanders and Bart.
Wait.
The bartender's at Knockers.
I called that bossom bar The bartender said that you were there alone.
Ray is the figment of your imagination, homer! You felt lonely and unappreciated So you made him up.
And here's the clincher Ray Magini is an anagram for Imaginary Woow, my subconcious is a genious! Well, that's all very convincing and He's right over there! Come on, can anybody see! If only they could see from my point of view I'm afraid this calls for electro shocks.
Electro shocks? Actually the technical term is electro convulsive therapy Well, that's a world of difference Light me up, doc.
When you in juice, can you hold my turtle? I want to bring him back to life.
ooh, what did he die of? I do not know.
He used to dead when I found'em Homer, that's just a bite on, not to eat! Sorry.
Give me the one that doesn't taste so good That was a rubber covered in vaseline Marge, write that down so we can have it at home If we can begin this treatment soon enough How you feelin, sweety? Much better.
Do you see anyone here, who isn't here? No, just you, Marge and Yogi Bear.
I'm kidding! Well I see your sense of humor's not affected That's a very bad sign Real.
Not real.
Real.
Real.
Sorry, homer, but recent historical evidence indicates that Robin Hood did not actually exist Fascinating! You kids can relax! Your father is fine now! Fine and dandy? Well his dandiness will slowly return in time Dad! Oo kids, I heart you too.
Man, I'm glad to be out from that electro shock table Although to be honest, I didn't enjoy lying down Hello Homer.
It's Ray! I see him again! Monster! You do not exist.
Hey, noone calls me monster in quest of my own existence The awesome power of the human mind I see Ray too So do I Well, I'm not worried.
You've agreed not to sue me about anything When did I agree to that? You did when I validate your parking You did'nt validate my parking Check and mate.
So Ray does exist? That's right! Now let's explore the improbable series of events that led to this amusing yet tragic farce on account of my eyepatch I could'nt see Ray sittin at the bar All I saw was you, eating and drinking and talking to yourself And Ned, you didn't see me because I was hiding behind the chimney I see, I thought my vision was perfect And yet, here I was worshipping false eyeballs Wait.
How come at bilder's barn I saw Homer talking to thin air? Well, that I can answer that.
I 've been tracking the tearing of fabric of space time which compliant with airborne pieces of metal at bilder's barn to create a mini blackhole this would normaly posed between homer and bart causing a gravitational blank which has absorbed the light reflected by Ray the roofer It seems feasable Wait, there is still one thing that doesn't make sense Why did you start to fixing our roof, and then just diseappear? That's easy! I'm a contractor! That's right! You're all crooks! We are all crooks, it's true.
Wait a minute.
I went throu alot of pain and suffering because of this little misunderstanding Somebody owes me big! Well, Homer I could make it up to you maybe a free eye scrapping That's a given There's something else! Something much more else! Homer, can I please knocked off?
