That's So Raven (2003) s02e11 Episode Script

Leave It to Diva

Oh, hey, Rae, how's that cold coming? Yeah, I'm feeling much better.
Oh, good.
Thanks.
Well, uh, at least you look good.
Man that hair is tore up.
What'd you just say about my hair? Uh, nothing.
Did I say that out loud? No but I I think I heard it, like, inside my head or something.
What? Wha? Rae, did you just read his mind? I- I-I don't know.
Something weird's going on.
Oh, Rae, Rae, do me, do me.
Read my mind.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, I'm not really getting anything, really.
Sorry.
Wow.
You are amazing.
Just amazing.
You know what, I don't know what's going on.
I just got to go home and get to bed.
You know what? I heard that, ya nasty.
Come here.
Yep, that's me.
Denzel is looking fine.
Mm! Mom, please stop what you're thinking.
Honey, I'm just reading my horoscope.
And Denzel is not in your future.
Okay, you're scaring me.
What's going on? Uh, nothing, it's this cold-- I think there are some weird side effects or something.
Hey, guess what? My mother's coming to stay with us this weekend.
Nana's coming? Mm-hmm.
Oh, honey, that's wonderful.
Just what I need-- an unexpected visit from that stuffy old busybody.
Hey, Rae, is that cold still bothering you? Not as much as some other stuff.
So, Tonya, you okay with my mother staying with us? She always says fine, but she never means it.
Fine.
I always say that, but I never mean it.
Oh, and, Rae, remember, when Nana gets here, no talk about being psychic.
Honey, you know, maybe it's time that we told your mom that Raven is psychic.
No way.
You remember how she reacted when we told her your mother was psychic.
It's true, she did have some issues.
She thought my mom was some kind of freaky whoo! Look, look, I hardly ever see Nana, and I love her so much.
I wouldn't want to do anything to hurt her.
At least somebody cares about my mother.
At least somebody cares about his mother.
I can't let them know I'm reading their minds.
They'll think I'm spying on them.
Oh, snap! I just read my own mind.
Oh.
Wait.
Everybody can do that.
You okay, baby? Mom Dad I- I don't know how, but I can read your minds.
Oh, honey watery eyes, runny nose, reading minds-- you have a psychic cold.
My mother used to get them all the time.
It only lasts a few days.
You're going to be fine.
Yeah, yeah, fine.
So, what'd you hear us thinking? I heard enough.
Okay, Mother's here.
Just be yourselves.
Dad, if I was going to be myself, I'd be upstairs playing video games in my underwear.
Just behave.
Mother.
My baby! And my grandbabies.
Nana! Nana! And Tonya.
Raven! How are you feeling, sweetheart? I hear you have a cold.
No wonder-- Tonya does keep a drafty house.
Actually, Nana, I'm feeling much better.
My mom just keeps it so warm and toasty in the house.
Well, Cory, this is for you, sweetheart.
It's a fishing rod.
Your grandfather loved to fish.
Man, this thing is off the heezie! Cory.
I mean, thank you ever so much.
And I have a very special surprise for you, Raven.
Oh, Nana, you didn't have to get me anything.
I didn't.
Raven got nothing, Nana likes me better.
I'm saving your surprise for later.
Nana, I've got a surprise for you.
Oh.
I'd like you to meet Lionel.
Oh, Cory, I really don't think that's a good idea.
Get it away! Get it away! M- Mother Baxter It's okay.
Lionel is Cory's pet rat.
A rat that will be going on a little vacation for the next few days.
Cory, let's go, now.
I don't know if Lionel's ready for this.
He's never been away from home.
He's staying at my crib for a couple of days, okay? Man up, Cory.
You're right.
I have to be strong for Lionel.
You know, I can't believe our little Lionel's going on his first sleep-over.
I remember Lionel when he was, like, this big, and, aw, his little fingers were, like, this big, and those itty-bitty little, teensy-weensy Okay, Chelsea, he was small, we get it.
Here you go, Lionel.
Hope I didn't overpack.
I'm going to miss you, buddy! There is no stronger love than a boy and his rat.
Yeah, there's also no stranger love.
Raven I need to talk to you.
I know, I read your mind.
Right.
So, um, you probably heard me thinking some things about your Nana.
You know, I just want you to know that your Nana is a wonderful person who loves you a lot.
Just sometimes she can be a real Mother Baxter! Tonya.
May I borrow my darling granddaughter for a moment, s'il vous plaƮt? Just say "please" like everybody else.
Raven, did you hear that? It's time for your surprise! Oh, a tea party! Just like we used to do when I was little! Aah! Well, now you're a young lady, and we're not playing.
I nominated you for membership in my social club-- the White Glove Society.
Oh, yeah, that is a surprise.
Man, I wasn't expecting to get signed up for that for about 50 or 60 years.
Well, this is for the junior chapter.
The admissions committee is coming for tea tomorrow, and we need to practice our etiquette.
Right.
Nana, do you really think that I'm really, uh, White Glove material? Of course you are.
You're a Baxter.
And don't worry, tomorrow is just a formality.
You're as good as in.
Raven, it's very poor etiquette to stare blankly into space with your mouth full.
I'm-I'm sorry, Nana, it must be the cold.
Um maybe tomorrow's not such a good time for the committee to come over.
Oh, nonsense.
I've gone to a lot of trouble to arrange this tea.
It's going to be a lovely afternoon.
Oh, yeah.
It's gonna be a scream.
Why aren't you getting ready for the tea party? Mom, just because I read your mind doesn't mean you should stop talking.
I know, but it's kind of fun.
Rae, what are you doing in bed? Dad, can you please just tell Nana that my cold came back 'cause I don't want to go to this tea party? What? Why not? Because, Dad, I had a vision that it's going to get ugly.
People were screaming and running around and it's not because they didn't like their tea.
Okay, Victor, maybe now is the time for us to just tell your mom that Raven is psychic.
Yeah, Dad.
If we tell her now, we can avoid this whole disaster.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
So, what are we all talking about? Um, Mom, the truth is your guests are coming any minute and I need to put some sugar on those lemon bars.
Sorry, Rae, it's not the right time.
Raven, a lady never stays in bed past 10:00.
Sorry, Nana, but I think my cold came back.
Well, if you're really that ill, maybe you should skip the tea party.
I'll never let her know how she broke my heart.
Nana I- I think I'm feeling better.
That's wonderful.
It was probably just a case of the nerves.
Yeah.
Oh, Raven, you don't know how much this means to me.
I think I do.
Nana, do you actually think this is a good ensemble? I mean, I don't feel comfortable in this.
It's just not right.
Nonsense.
You look divine! Oh, the committee is going to love you.
Okay.
All right.
Welcome, ladies.
I'd like you to meet my darling granddaughter Raven.
Hey, what's up? How y'all? Um, I-I mean, charmed.
Why don't we take our seats and have some tea? Oh, the table is lovely Loretta? Yes? Please lead us in the White Glove Society oath.
Certainly.
I promise to always practice good manners, good grooming, and to uphold the standards of the White Glove Society.
Yeah! You know, Raven, every time your grandmother comes to town, she never fails to tell us all about your wonderful accomplishments.
The old windbag.
My grandson's a brain surgeon.
You don't hear me bragging.
Okay, let's get this party started then.
Cory? Cory, Cory this isn't really working out.
Really.
Lionel, you're back! Hey, man, we had to bring him on home.
There was too much crying going on.
Lionel was crying? No, brother, I was.
The little rascal kept me up all night-- squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.
Change the tune or something.
Yeah, it's weird.
I went over this morning, you know, to kind of cheer him up? I put on his little sweater and his little leash to take him for a walk, but I don't know.
He was so depressed.
It was kind of more like a drag.
Man, I knew he was too young to be away from home.
Lionel! So, hasn't Raven set a lovely table? Divine.
Raven this, Raven that.
Why doesn't she stuff a sock in it? So, Raven, what are your future goals and ambitions? Well, um, you know, I really, really love to study fashion design.
Lionel! Did she say vinyl? I hope that's not coming back.
Um, yes, ladies, so do I.
So I hope it doesn't come back either, because that was just ridiculous, didn't you think? But, like I was saying, I would definitely love to study fashion design and music.
Music! Music! Actually, ladies, I wrote something for tonight's festivities.
Something for the White Glove Society, I like to call Oh, you know what? Forget about it 'cause it's not exactly finished yet.
Why don't you guys enjoy the lemon bars that my father made for tonight.
Oh, I am sure you guys would love them.
One calorie, fabulous.
Um, yeah, enjoy those lemon bars, ladies, because it's so soft and lemony.
Got ya! I'm just checking out the floor, making sure it's sturdy for the little hat dance.
That was the entertainment for tonight.
I'm just going to retire to the kitchen to check on the fudge.
Raven, darling, we didn't make any fudge.
Then I better get started.
Are you sure we didn't make any? Okay, then I'm going to make some.
Thanks.
Lionel, come out, boy.
Hey, I think I have what you're looking for.
Get it.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Ready? Oh, snap! He's not there! He must still be in there with the ladies.
If they see him, they're going to run and scream just like in my vision! I'll be back in a moment.
Just carry on, ladies.
Raven, why are you acting like this? Nana, you have to believe me, okay? I am trying to make a good impression.
It's just that, uh, these people right here, my friends and Cory, they're having a crisis.
Are you telling me the truth? Because I smell a rat.
Really? Which way did he go? Nana, everything is under control, okay? Just go in there, sit down, tell the ladies to flutter.
Tell 'em to flutter.
Yes, flutter.
Bye-bye.
I've got to get in there and get back to the tea party, and you guys got to get Lionel out of the living room! But you can't go in there.
What? Good luck.
What? What? Well, what are we going to do? Okay, this vent goes down to the living room.
I drop the cheese, Lionel finds it-- he loves his cheese-- we catch on to his harness, reel him up, problem solved.
That's the dumbest plan ever.
It just might work.
Raven, the ladies and I have an announcement.
Okay.
We are very pleased to admit you as a junior member into the White Glove Society.
Oh, yay.
I just hope she's not a blowhard like her grandmother.
Hey! Raven! I mean, hoo-ray! Hooray, everybody.
Thank you so much.
Oh, and I accept.
Wonderful tea party, drive safe, buh-bye.
Oh, not so fast, Raven.
I still have the honor of presenting you with your first pair of white gloves.
Oh, wow! I specifically packed two gloves.
You know what? They don't always travel in pairs.
Cheese? Cheese? say cheese for the camera.
Everybody come on.
I just want to take a picture to remember this lovely moment.
Please, everybody over here.
Stay over here.
Let's go.
New member of the society.
Oh, fabulous.
Flutter, flutter, flutter.
Ladies, stay right there.
Don't move.
Let me get the camera.
Any luck? They're just not biting today.
Yeah, but you know, sometimes it's just nice to get away from it all.
Ladies, don't move, okay? Everybody, just stay where you are, seriously.
Don't move.
I got something! Reel it in! Uh-oh, the reel got jammed.
What are you doing? A flying rat! Flee, ladies, flee! Dang, some of them ladies can move.
Hey, it's loose.
Come to Papa.
Ladies, no, no, wait! He's not really flying.
Oh, go ahead and flee! Yeah, Tonya, you're right.
I need to stand up to my mother once and for all.
Thank you.
Okay, that hurt.
Welcome home, buddy.
Oh, Lionel.
This is a disaster! Raven, why did you behave like this? Nana, there's something I wish I could tell you.
Nana I'm psychic.
Oh, that's preposterous.
No, it's posterous.
I mean, I had a vision that this tea party was going to be a disaster.
Oh, no, another woo-oo in the family.
Nana, I'm not a woo-oo.
I'm your granddaughter.
How did you know that? Oh, yeah, I also have this psychic cold, so I can temporarily read minds.
And you kept this from me all these years? Mother, it's my fault.
Raven and Tonya wanted to tell you, but I didn't think you'd accept it.
Well, why would you think that? Because Tonya's mother is psychic and you didn't accept her.
That's not true.
Mother.
Well, maybe it's a little true.
Mother.
Don't push it, Victor.
Tonya, I'm sorry.
I really did judge your mother without knowing her.
And if she's anything like Raven, I've made a terrible mistake.
You must think I'm awful.
Never, Nana, okay? We love you.
Nana! We're family.
Oh, Nana.
Yeah, you need to watch your back with that Ms.
Penelope, because she ain't playing with you.
I always suspected that.
Well, I think I'm through with her and the White Glove Society.
Although, this last meeting was off the heezy! Oh, snap! Break it down, Nana! Cory, I told you it's dangerous to pull Lionel through that vent.
I know.
But, you didn't say anything about lemon bars.
Baby, baby.
Want a bite?
