Saving Psychic Raven

We got to stop this next play or those scruffs from Jefferson are going to beat us again.
I'm a scruff from Jefferson.
Go, Jefferson, get busy.
I got it, I got it! Oh! I broke a nail! Rae, what happened? You said you had it.
Yeah, I did but then I had a vision.
Chels, do you think they're mad? It's cool, Rae.
I'll handle it.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
This was our championship game and Raven blew our one shot at beating Jefferson you know, after 27 years.
Chels Let's go rag on it.
27 long years.
Chelsea I'm sorry, you guys.
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah.
Yo, Rae what happened out there? She had a vision.
But it's cool, 'cause I handled it.
Well, I hope it was one important vision, Rae, because 27 years I know.
Well, what was it? Chels is going to break a nail.
It was the pinky.
Come on, you know the one that she uses to do Dr.
Evil with.
Hey, I didn't ask for these visions.
It's cool.
Come on.
Let's get something to eat.
Yeah, we could celebrate.
The fact that we all have our health.
No, it's cool.
I'm just going to head home.
But we're still on for bowling tomorrow, right? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Bye, Rae.
Bye.
Peace.
I know what happened to you out there.
Yeah, I missed the ball.
But I know why.
"Sleevemore Center for Psy for Psychic Research?" My name's Carly.
Drop by sometime.
Yep, that's me.
Hi, I'm looking for the This is it.
Okay, well, the reason I'm here is I know, I know-- volleyball game you had a vision, screwed up, everybody's mad at you blah-blah-blah.
Did you just read my mind? Oh, well, I Marvin, don't freak her out.
I told him the whole story.
Got you.
Marvin's a second-degree telepath and a first-degree pain in the butt.
That's why I love it here.
In school, I'm just a pain in the butt.
You'll learn to ignore him.
Come on, I'll show you around.
Ooh, y'all's electric bill must be ridiculous.
What do y'all do in here? Well, we develop our psychic skills.
Like Marlo here.
She's a spoon bender.
Wow, you bend, girl! We try to keep her away from the good silver.
And that guy there can start fires with his mind.
Hey, Sparky.
So, what are they doing some kind of experiment? Uh, no, actually he's making s'mores.
Did you see that marshmallow? And then it and then it poofed?! Am I the only one who thinks that's amazing? Well, I guess I am, okay.
I guess we're just used to it.
So, what's your thing? Well, I'm a telepath so I can read people's thoughts.
And I'm telekinetic.
Oh, what's that? Yeah, but can you do the shake? Yeah! You're going to fit right in.
I don't really know.
I mean, everybody seems so in tune with their psychic abilities.
I wish I was.
Then you've come to the right place.
I'm Dr.
Sleevemore.
Welcome to my center.
Dr.
Sleevemore, this is Raven the girl I told you about.
Oh, Raven.
You had the vision.
Screwed up the volleyball game.
Carly, did you have to tell everybody? Oh, Carly didn't tell me.
You read my mind? No, Marvin told me.
Good old Marvin.
Raven I believe we can help you.
First, we measure your psychic abilities on the Sleevemore Cerebral Oscillator.
Oh, dear me.
Ooh, the Cerebral Oscillator.
Wait a second.
Is that going to jack up my hair? Oh, yes.
I'm worried about Lionel.
What's wrong? I think he's lonely.
Can we get him a dog? Corey, you don't get a rat a dog.
Victor, Lionel's not a rat.
Maybe he needs a girlfriend.
The last thing we need in this house is two rats.
Why don't you get him a mirror? Now, Victor, come on.
Every man needs a good woman in his life.
Oh, forget it.
Just get him a piece of cheese.
He'll be just as happy.
Are you equating cheese with the love of a good woman? You gonna turn this into something, aren't you? Now, Corey, honey Lionel's a part of the family, too.
If you think he needs a lady friend then we'll get him one.
Come on, Lionel.
Let's see if I can make a player out of you.
And stay away from my aftershave.
Uh, circle.
No.
Wrong again.
Looks like they're letting anyone in these days.
Marvin do we have to give you another time out? Just relax, Raven.
You know, I'm not really much of a card reader.
I'm more of a future seer.
Oh, clairvoyant.
But I can't really turn my visions on and off.
Well, we know you can't turn them on.
I think I'm seeing a long life of loneliness for you, Marvin.
I'll tell you what, Raven.
Let's do this another day.
Dr.
Sleevemore it's oscillating.
That's what oscillators do, Carly.
You just had another vision, didn't you? Yes, and I suggest you take three steps to the left.
Good show, Raven.
You just registered a 4.
7 on the Sleevemore Psychic Scale and a perfect ten on the Sleevemore thank-you scale.
Thank you, but you should see me when I'm warmed up.
I have to admit I had my doubts but you're definitely one of us.
Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
Oh, my goodness this is so weird.
Normally I have to hide my visions but it's just great to just be myself.
Well, you're welcome to be yourself here anytime.
We'll meet again tomorrow.
Okay.
And afterwards, we all go out for pizza.
Um, oh, man, I kind of had something planned, but You know what? Never mind.
Excellent.
Ooh, I smell popcorn.
Hey, Rae.
What's up? Guys, did you see what they put on the school website? Look.
It is so not that funny! Shameful.
I'm completely not laughing.
So, uh, Rae, where were you last night? I called to see how you were doing but all I got was the machine.
Well, you know, actually, I was out and I really want to talk to you guys about it.
You know how my visions can sometimes be a problem? Sometimes? Come here.
May I direct you to the screen? Yeah.
Funny.
Man, when you get that vision look on your face, that Yeah.
It's always something just really earth-shattering like a broken nail.
Oh, gosh.
By the way, Rae, me and pinky Still waiting.
You done? Yeah.
So, uh, what did you want to tell us? Just that I'm not going to be able to go bowling with you guys tonight.
Oh, no, come on, Rae.
It'll be so much fun.
We'll eat really greasy food, you know wear other people's shoes.
Well, I really just can't make it with you guys tonight.
I mean, you know, Corey's rat is having that whole crisis and everything and you know how I like to be there for him.
The rat, not Corey.
Well, okay, Rae, if you're sure.
Yeah, I'm sure.
Okay, who ordered the cheddar? What is this, a rat motel? Okay, everybody-- check-out time.
Move your tails.
Victor, stop it.
These rats are here because we put up a flyer in the pet store and their owners brought them over.
Of course.
Their owners didn't want them either.
Victor, this is a lesson for Corey about love, compassion, tenderness.
Now, get with the program.
Lionel, look at all these babies.
And all you have to do is pick one.
How about Alberta? She's missing her front teeth.
Lionel can't wake up to that every morning.
Dad, hand me Daisy, please.
Do your thing, girl.
Ooh, smells like love, huh, Lionel? Oh, great.
Table full of kids.
What a joy.
Raven, check this out.
Okay, make it snappy.
What will it be? Uh, we'll have a small sausage and a large vegetarian, please.
Uh, you know, on second thought I think I want to change that.
Did anyone see my? My lucky pen.
I wouldn't want to lose that.
Y'all know that was wrong.
It's so easy to goof on the normys.
"Normys"? That's what we call non-psychics behind their backs.
As in "How many normys does it take to change a light bulb?" Mmm, I give up.
One, but he doesn't do it 'til after it burns out.
I get it-- because they can't see the future? Oh, that is my friends would totally not get that.
See, that's why it's way more fun to hang out with your own kind.
Oh, now, don't get me wrong.
I love hanging out with my friends.
It's just that sometimes they really don't understand what I'm going through.
The normy problem.
We've all been through it.
Ooh.
I think I'm feeling something.
Is it a vision? No, it's more like a vibe.
Just go with it.
Um, okay, I see two people, but I can't really make them out.
Uh, they're very angry.
Who are they? Hey, Rae.
How's the rat? So, Rae, you met some kids who were psychic.
Why did you have to blow us off? And lie to us? What's up with that? I just didn't know if you guys would click, you know? I mean, you have totally different interests.
You like to bowl, and-and they Well, you know, they like to defy the physical laws of the universe.
Okay, tell me I did not just see that.
Oh, man, I know.
Gosh, that was a lot of pepper.
Chelsea, it was floating.
It's called telekinesis.
Yeah, it's still way too much pepper.
Look, you guys have been on my case lately and I just found some people who understand me, and I And you'd rather hang out with those freaks than us.
Freaks? Is that what you call me when I'm not around? He didn't mean you, Rae.
He meant them.
Okay.
Cool it, Sparky.
Look I'm just like them, okay? And if they're freaks, then so am I.
Well, if you're going to be like that then let's go, Chelsea.
Right behind you.
Oh! Ow! I broke a nail.
Pinky? I don't even care.
Yes, you do.
I can't believe you made me wear a suit to this thing.
It's a wedding.
They're rats.
They're in love.
They're rats.
Ready? Oh, honey, doesn't she look beautiful? We are gathered here today to join this couple in holy matrimony.
Lionel, Daisy I know you two were meant to be and if your marriage is anything like my parents' marriage then you'll be together forever.
You may get mad and want to sleep on the other side of the cage but hang in there.
And if you ever need advice, talk to my mom and dad.
'Cause after all these years, they're still in love.
By the power vested in me by Norm's Pet Store I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Lionel, you may now kiss the bride.
Or sniff her.
I'm seeing myself surrounded by people who really need to back up off of me.
Thanks.
Okay.
You're tense and irritable and, uh down to a 1.
6 on the Seymour scale.
This bears further study.
Come on, Raven.
It's just us now.
Tell us what's up.
Nothing.
That's not what I'm getting.
Okay, big shot.
Since you know everything what am I thinking? All right.
You are thinking about changing shampoos.
Ah! Conditioner.
Next.
You're also worried about your normy friends.
Raven, it's okay.
We all know what it's like when your friends think you're a freak.
Well, actually, they think y'all are the freaks.
That is so normy.
But that's how they see us and that's why we have to stick together.
I guess you're right.
It's for the best.
Come on.
Sparky's making nachos.
Oh, I'll get it.
Uh, we come in peace.
We want to know Oh, boy.
what's going on here and we're not leaving here until we get some nachos! That's what I'm talking about.
What are you guys doing here? Rae, we really need to talk to you.
Uh, Raven, Dr.
Sleevemore doesn't like visitors during research hours.
Research? Girl, y'all are melting cheese! I'll handle this.
Get over there.
What? Y'all here to see the freak show? Look, I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have said that.
Yeah, Rae, come on.
We came to apologize and we really want to work things out.
If these are your friends, they're our friends, too.
Yeah.
Really? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You mean it? Excuse me? Who says we want to be friends with you? But excuse me.
What's that supposed to mean? It's time to leave.
What if we don't want to? Good shot, Carly.
Oh, come on.
So what? So, you can throw a lousy donut at Eddie with your minds.
Whoo! So cool! That was kind of cool, but I bet you cannot do that with a chair.
Chelsea! Will you stop it?! These are my friends you are telepelting.
We're your friends.
Not if you can't accept Eddie and Chelsea.
Yeah.
Come on, Rae.
What? Come on, Rae, we're leaving.
Uh, yeah, I can't.
Carly! Please, Raven, don't go! You have an amazing gift and you were making such progress here.
Hey, if my friend wants to leave, she's leaving.
Guys, some help here.
Who turned off the gravity? Let her go.
She belongs with us! She belongs with us! I belong on the ground.
Let me go! Not the oscillator.
I'm still making payments.
Rae, are you okay? Did they hurt you? Us? You are the one that let go.
That's what happens when you let the normys in.
I'd rather be a normy than a freak.
Will you guys stop it? It's my turn.
You're not a normy, and you're not a freak.
We're all just people.
We hang out, we go to school we play volleyball.
Some better than others.
The point is is that I'm psychic, yes but that's not all I am and that's not all you are, either.
Dr.
Sleevemore thanks for all of your help but I think it's time for me to go.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Raven but our door's always open for you.
Thank you, Carly.
That's going to be the phone.
Good-bye, everybody.
Wait, Raven, I just want to say Okay, guys, guys, don't all think at once.
We just want to say that we're sorry.
Hey, man we're sorry, too.
Yeah.
Oh, and Eddie yes, I'll go out with you.
But how did you? Oh.
You got skills, girl.
I like you.
Is something burning? Yeah, Eddie, it's you! What's that, man?! It's burning my Sparky, we talked about this.
Oh, we used to date.
He's not quite over it.
Oh.
Well, it-it looks like he still has the hots for you.
Ow! Carly! Ooh, I'm sorry, girl.
That was me.
You know, that is a beautiful couple.
Mom, Dad! Congratulations! You're grandparents! They were there a minute ago.
