That's So Raven (2003) s01e17 Episode Script

Psychics Wanted

Hey, this is new.
A dollar for water? That is ridiculous.
Eddie, give me a dollar.
What, you broke again? No, I just don't have change for a million.
Rae the fountain's for free.
Okay, no wonder there's never a line.
Where's that music coming from? Raven, these are for you.
Hey, I know that face-- you just had a vision.
Chels a really cute guy came to my house, and he gave me flowers.
Who was he? And does he have a friend? I don't know.
I've never seen him before.
Till this second.
Hey, cutie.
Oh, yo, that's the new kid, Jonathan Quizowski.
They call him "Quiz.
" Anyways, he's totally into jazz.
Oh, and I am totally into him.
Now, I just got to meet him first.
How do you think it's going to happen? You know, that's the problem with these visions, Chels-- they show what you get but not how you get there.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
The San Francisco Jazz Festival's next week.
You should buy tickets and ask him out.
Great plan except she can't afford water.
You see, see that's what friends are for.
See, we just all dig down deep and Guys? I should have seen that coming.
Yep, that's me.
Hmm, where to start? Uh, with a box of cereal.
'Cause all this? Not for you.
Well, who's it for? Mom and Dad-- they get a gourmet breakfast and all they have to do is sit through a short presentation about raising my allowance.
Everyone wins.
You could just come to me for money.
I'm loaded.
Yeah, but you always turn me down.
And it never gets old! Mmm, smells like fresh blueberry muffins and hickory-smoked bacon.
Mmm, smells to me like we're getting hit up for cash.
Just hear me out.
Okay.
Turn your attention to page eight.
Now, as you know, I do my own clothing, I do my own nails but I still need money for the essentials: we're talking hair, shoes, jazz festival tickets.
Since when are you into jazz? Like forever, Daddy-O and all I need is the green to make the scene.
Well, I hear what you're saying, but I'm not paying.
Honey, why don't you just save your money like your brother? 'Cause he's cheap, and I got a life.
Which I can buy and sell.
Baby, how are you ever going to learn the value of money if we just keep giving it to you? By shopping? No, by earning it.
Do some extra chores.
Get a part-time job.
I could use a foot massage.
You better keep your little piggies away from my bacon.
Here's one, Rae: "Lifeguards wanted.
" It's perfect for you.
Hello, I cannot swim.
Well, if you're going to shoot down everything Just keep looking, okay? Th-There's got to be something out there 'cause I am not letting this vision get away.
Yo, check this one out.
It's perfect.
"Psychics wanted.
Earn big bucks.
" Are you serious? Right there.
I- I don't know.
Besides you guys and my family no one else knows I'm psychic.
Yeah, Rae, and it's kind of wrong to use your powers you know, to make money.
Aw, come on that's what gifts are for.
You don't see Shaq just shooting hoop in his driveway and Michael Jackson just don't moonwalk around his pool.
And J-Lo sure don't hide "it" in baggy pants.
There it is.
Oh, Lord.
I'm just saying, if you got it, you should use it.
The cards tell me that you are very lonely.
Yes, my man'll be gone for five to ten years.
Mm, he's in jail, isn't he, child? How did you know that? If Madam Cassandra can't see it, it's not happenin'.
Call me now! She is amazing.
She's the best in the business.
So, uh, you ready to be in the business? Really? I'm hired? Oh, thank you so much, Mr.
Banks.
I mean don't you want to ask me some questions? Uh, are you a cop? Then no further questions.
Let's give it a whirl.
This is where the magic happens.
Um, yeah, listen, Mr.
Banks you know, I've never really gone public about me being psychic and everything, and plus, I don't even know when I'm going to have my visions.
Like, the last one I had was about this cute guy named Quiz: he came to my place with these flowers but he doesn't really know I exist when I'm at school so I'm thinking of buying him these jazz concert tickets but you don't care, do you? No.
Hey, you are psychic.
Now, uh, listen.
The name of the game is to keep people on the line, right? Okay.
The more they talk, the more we make.
So, if you think somebody's about to hang up what do you do? "Thanks for calling.
" No, no, no, no.
You say "Wait, wait, wait.
I I think I'm getting something.
" I don't know.
I mean, something doesn't feel right.
Well, if you don't want 15 bucks an hour 15 an hour? Wait.
Yes, I think I'm getting something.
Hi, my name is Yeah, how long? Ooh, you know, I got these tickets to How am I ever going to ask him to the jazz festival if he never stops playing? Well, if you're talking about concert tickets I'm guessing you got the job.
Yeah, I got it.
Oh, my gosh, Rae, congratulations.
Now you can use your psychic powers to make the world a better place.
Rae, you're kind of bringing down the hug.
Chels, listen.
The job is not exactly what you think it is.
Yeah, but how's the money? It's great, but you don't even have to be psychic.
They will hire anyone.
Yes, yes, I am getting something, wait it's a name.
Yes, and it starts with an "A.
" Okay, a "B"? You know, maybe it was a "C"? D E F G, H, I, J J! J, J, J, yes, yes.

A nice younger man.
You're 94? Well, everyone's younger than you, so, uh, I'm right.
Yeah, uh-huh Now, wait a second.
Wait.

Oh, it is a cat? Oh, yes, yes.

The phones are ringing off the hook.
Oh, and that weird look that you get in your eyes, that Keep it.

So, what do you think of Miss Tallulah? Uh, I think she's using her powers to manipulate a guy into liking her.
Chels okay, I just want to meet him.
And then what? Well, you know, once we're alone together he'll realize that we were meant for each other.
I'm just trying to do what you were saying: making the world a better place.
You know, just one guy at a time, child.
So, the kids are out.
We have the house to ourselves.
You know what that means? Oh, yeah.
Pizza.
That'll be $22.

Uh-oh.
I found a magazine.
I blame you, Victor.

Oh, that is the sweetest thing to say.
You know what, I really wasn't expecting company but what the heck.
Come on in.
Uh, Raven, these are for you.
Oh, thank you.
That's a nice dress you got there.
Oh, this old thing? Darlin', I made it this morning.
Really? Wow, Lisa, check this out.
Lisa? Yeah, Lisa, Raven made this dress all by herself.
Yes, girl, and we are so excited about it.
But who are you? Oh, yeah, sorry, this is, uh, my girlfriend.
Lisa.
I had to meet Quiz's good luck charm.
You have a girlfriend? Yeah, yeah, I do.
Okay, so, I came to your house I met you, I gave you the flowers.
It was Lisa's idea.
Lisa! Well, it was nice meeting you.
Yeah.
Guess it was.
It's funny how things work out.
Or don't.
Here.
You guys might like these.
Tickets to the jazz festival! You know, you really are my good luck charm.
Oh, man, Rae.
He had a girlfriend? Lisa! You were right, Chels.
I shouldn't have used my gift to get a guy.
Yeah.
And I shouldn't have filled up on doughnuts when they're bringing in a whole deli platter.
Anyway, Rae, I don't know.
Maybe you should look at the bright side.
You know, at least no one got hurt.
But me.
There you go-- bright side.
Hey, you two, hey.
Back on the phones, let's go.
Okay, you.
You're on.
Hi, Doris.
Hi, yeah, it's Chelsea your psychic sidekick.
How's little Jinxy doing? Oh, still hacking out that hair ball, yuk.
Hold it.
Uh, first of all we don't make money when the psychics call the customers.
Uh And, uh, yeah, second of all, you're fired, okay? And, oh, why don't you take Jaws with you? Okay, caller, who be you? Uh, yeah, this is Quiz again.
What's wrong, Quiz? Okay, yeah, yeah, I didn't get into Jazz Camp.
I was supposed to hear by now.
The mail is slow, child.
No reason to get your horn out of tune.
No, no, I-I must've messed things up with Raven.
Maybe I shouldn't have brought my girlfriend, or Ooh, well, I can't argue with you there, child.
Okay, wait, wait.
What are you saying? Should I break up with her, or? Uh, uh, no.
No, Quiz, no.
That be bad, all right.
We don't want nobody to get hurt because of what Miss Tallulah say.
Miss Tallulah, okay, I am freaking out.
How come I didn't get that scholarship? You know, wait, am I-I jinxed? Did I lose my talent? Should I quite music? Oh, slow your row, child! Take the island breath.
There's no one plays the horn like you and you don't need to call Miss Tallulah to tell you that.
Yes, he does.
So, any clown can do this, huh, Hank? Quiz! Listen to Miss Tallulah, okay? You're just wasting your money calling me.
No, he, no, he isn't.
What-what is she saying? So, how about that raise? Yeah, fine, fine, okay, anything.
Just get out there, okay? And you keep that kid on the line.
Please, Miss Tallulah, check the mystic bones.
What do they say? Quiz, Quiz, Quiz.
Listen.
This is not mystic bones.
Child, this was my lunch! Okay, yes it was a secret recipe and very good but nothing's mystical about it! Are you saying that you're not a real psychic? Ooh now, that's a very complicated question.
Oh, the spirits are very angry! Madame Cassandra? They're saying she lies, Quiz.
Like a Jamaican dog full of sand fleas.
Now, get out! Quiz, stay on the line.
Ah! No! Listen to me, Quiz.
No real psychic would be on a cheesy show like this! Ooh, you hear that? She's a bad coconut.
Excuse me while I shake the evil out of her.
Missed me.
Gotcha.
Oh, getting dizzy.
Oh, no, that's enough.
Oh, here comes lunch.
Say toodle-oo, Tallulah.
Bring it on, Shirley.
Oh, snap, no, you didn't just break my hand.
What are you going to do about it? Guess she could do that.
Man, Rae sure swings a pretty mean finger, doesn't she? Hang up, Quiz! Don't hang up! Wait, wait, wait.
Everybody, wait! I think I'm getting something.
Oh, yeah, this.
Come on! Okay, you know what? Hold up.
I don't need this, huh-uh.
I made more money waitressing.
Okay, am I getting charged for this 'cause, you know, nobody's helping me.
Quiz, don't you see? It is all a fake! Look! Hello! It's me, Raven! Yeah, yeah, wait, wait, the mail just came.
I got the scholarship.
Wow, I better call Lisa.
Do you see that? He still didn't notice me.
Just like a man.
You right.
Hank, I think you're out of business.
Are you kidding? You gave me a great idea.
Female psychic gladiators.
It's going to be huge.
Ooh, really? Does it pay a lot? 'Cause I'm going to need a summer job.
Yo, Rae.
You got a buck? I'm busted.
Again? I was counting on you treating for the movies tonight.
Well, I was counting on you.
I guess everybody's broke then.
See ya.
Not everybody.
Gotcha! Gotcha! Corey! Get! Get me out of here! Corey! They'll never learn.
Come here.
Come here.
