That's So Raven (2003) s03e12 Episode Script

1 Rae.
Seriously I did outdo myself if I do say so myself.
Now, you know everybody's gonna be talking about this little getup right here.
Well, if they have to talk, they might as well talk about moi.
Or him.
They're not talking about him.
They're laughing at him.
Well, that's not nice.
Excuse me, people.
Hey, how y'all doing? I know y'all are not having a fashion problem in this area, 'cause y'all should not be talking.
You last-season shoe wearing, 12-year-old shirt sportin', vest with a undershirt, and you I will call you when shoulder pads come back, ok? Which is never! Good-bye.
Thank you.
That was very brave.
Not unlike a mother lion protecting her young from a pack of hyenas.
Ok No problem.
No problem.
You look good.
All right? No worries.
Thank you.
So do you.
Thank you.
I'm Raven.
I am Tendaji an exchange student from the country of Shakobi.
Shakobi.
Well, nice to meet you, Tendaji.
These are my best friends Eddie and Chelsea.
Wassup wit it? Who hit it? Welcome to America.
You can chill with us after school.
Chill? Are you expecting a drop in temperature? No, no, no, no.
Enjoy each other's company.
Then chill it is.
Ok.
Thank you, Raven, and for your kindness, I have a gift.
Would you accept this feather? A feather.
Here's a feather.
Sure.
I've never really gotten a feather before.
I am very pleased to hear that.
He gave you a feather, Rae? Raven got a feather.
Chels, it's just a feather.
It doesn't mean anything.
Yes, yes.
She has accepted the sacred feather.
Yep, that's me.
Raven, thank you for inviting me to your lovely home.
Yeah, now see, this is what we mean by chillin'.
Bingo bomb? It is golden and Spongy.
And filled with a sweet, creamy-like substance.
It is a miracle.
What is in this? Nah, homey, you do not wanna know.
Hi, kids.
Hey, mom.
I want to introduce you to my friend Tendaji.
He's an exchange student.
Tendaji, meet my mother.
You wish me to meet your mother.
This is a great honor.
Well, how very sweet of you, Tendaji.
So, from where are you exchanging? I am from the country of Shakobi.
Shakobi.
How interesting.
I would love to hear all about your history, your customs, your natural resources Ok, mama.
Mama, buh-bye.
Ok, ok.
Sorry.
Now that I have met the mother of Raven Would you accept this Shell? Yeah.
I'll accept the shell.
I can put it next to my feather.
As you should.
Now I must leave.
This day has been as miraculous as a cream-filled bingo bomb.
Bye.
Raven got a shell.
Man, Rae, I think he likes you.
Chels, it's a feather and a shell.
I mean, how serious could it be? It has become serious.
She has introduced me to her mother.
Yes.
So I offered her the seashell.
Yes, father.
I know the next step.
Ok, Lionel.
Before we check out the contest results, I want you to remember that winning isn't everything.
We won! We won! We won! We won! I lied, Lionel.
Winning is everything! Big ball hug! We won? What did we win? Actually, Lionel won.
I sent in his picture to the Magazine, and he was voted most photogenic rat.
Are you serious? What'd he win? A little ball of cheese? No A big ball of cheese, and his picture is gonna be on the cover of Rat Style Magazine.
They have a magazine for rats? What do you do, read it or line his cage with it? Have fun now, dad.
But one day when Lionel's famous, he's gonna have the last laugh.
Delivery for Raven Baxter.
My brother.
It's from Tendaji.
He says it's a Shakobian custom that this gift be delivered to you by your closest friends.
I hope it's not a box of feathers.
It's wrapped so beautifully, I'd hate to, you know, mess it up.
I know.
Now this is the kind of gift I'm talkin' about! Raven got a dress.
And look at the bling-bling.
Boy, if I was ever going to wear a dress I- I-I'm not gonna even finish that sentence.
Go on, take your dress now.
Mom, look at this fabulous gift Tendaji sent me.
It's gorgeous.
Give it back.
What? Why, mom? Honey, you cannot accept this dress.
It's way too extravagant.
Yeah, Rae, it is is way better than that feather and shell he got you.
He gave you other gifts? Well, mom, kind of.
I wouldn't really call 'em gifts, more like stuff you could, you know, find on a beach.
Well, he did not find this outfit on a beach.
He's obviously very serious about you, and if you accept these things, you're gonna be giving him the wrong message.
Well, what about if I give him back the feather and the shell and I keep the dress? Raven, pack up the dress and take it back.
Ok, Lionel.
Give me some good.
Give me some bad.
And give me some ugly.
How can you tell the difference? Who said that? Was that you? I can't work with this man in the room.
Dad, don't laugh in front of Aldo.
He is the top rodent photographer in the world.
Say no more.
If you need me, I'll be out laughing in the hallway.
Sorry, Aldo.
I guess my dad thinks this is all silly.
Silly? I've been photographing rats for 20 years.
And believe me, Lionel has the whole package.
Silky whiskers, beady eyes, and a tail that just won't quit.
I've always known that.
Trust me.
Lionel's gonna be huge.
Remember, son, rats spelled backwards is star.
Bye, my beautiful dress.
You're doing the right thing, Rae.
I know.
Yeah, Rae, it doesn't matter that it's the most beautiful, gorgeous, breathtaking dress you'll ever wear in your entire life.
Do you want me to pack you in this box as well? All hail prince Tendaji.
All hail prince Tendaji.
My goodness! You are never gonna believe what I just saw.
Tendaji He's a prince.
For real? For reals for reals.
Wait a minute.
If he's a prince, then you're like, you know, Cinderella.
I mean, come on.
All you need is for someone to come up to your door and ask you to the ball.
From prince Tendaji.
It's an invitation.
He's throwing a party at the embassy.
My gosh, it really is a ball! Hey, hey.
This must've been the party that I saw in my vision, and let me tell ya, the party, it was on! That's gonna be so much fun.
Wait a minute.
Too bad you can't go.
Why can't I go? 'Cause your mama said that you got to return that dress.
I can return the dress after I party with the prince.
Man, I can't believe Raven lied to her mom about returning that dress.
Technically, she didn't lie.
She's gonna return the dress.
She's just gonna party in it first.
Where is Raven? Did she go to return that dress? Well Technically.
What she means, Mrs.
B, is, that Raven and the dress both left.
That's good Because I was doing some research on the Internet.
It turns out Tendaji is a prince.
No It's true, and in his country, accepting a feather, a shell, and a dress is a promise to be married.
No! If she'd accepted that dress, she'd be on her way to her wedding right now.
Raven's gonna walk into her own wedding.
I know.
Some best friend.
She didn't even ask me to be a bridesmaid.
Forget about that.
We gotta go save Rae.
Cory, big news.
Rat Style Magazine loved the pictures, and get this they want to sign Lionel to an exclusive contract.
Yes! You heard that, buddy? You're gonna be a star! Yes! Ok, now let's talk about the do-re-mi.
There will be plenty of that.
Could you be a little bit more specific? The dollar amount of the offer will be roughly in this neighborhood.
I'd like to live in that neighborhood.
Baby, you've got yourself a deal.
When our future Princess arrives, as our tradition commands, her feet must never touch the ground.
Hey, hey.
It is on! Don't ok, going up.
Y'all definitely know how to treat a guest.
Thank you, but I could've walked up the stairs.
Ok.
Guess we're going down! Yep.
I like this seat a lot better.
Y'all were right.
Is that? I love accessories.
Let me help you out, homey.
All right.
That's really good.
You can keep those coming.
I like them.
I am Dikembe.
The Shakobian ambassador.
And I am Raven.
Yes, I know.
We have been waiting for you.
Let the bell of welcome ring.
The actual bell has not yet arrived from Shakobi.
It's ok.
I still feel welcomed.
Excellent.
Then let the dance begin.
Luckily, they have arrived from Shakobi.
I'm liking this.
Give me another grape.
Psst Rae.
What are you guys doing here? And why are you dressed like that? You ain't from Shakobi.
Rae, we came down here to tell you this is not a party, it's a wedding.
A wedding? I love weddings.
I hope I don't cry.
You gonna cry all right, because this is your wedding, and you gonna be the bride.
Raven's gonna be what? Look, all of those gifts were Tendaji's way of proposing to you, Rae.
See, Rae? I told you he liked you.
Yes, and since you put on the dress and came down here, you accepted.
Why didn't I listen to my mommy? Presenting the new official currency of Shakobi The Raven.
So what do you think of the contract, dad? Looks like Lionel's gonna be making some serious cheddar.
Yeah, I always knew that rat was gonna be a star.
Dad, you were laughing at the whole thing.
Well, now I'm laughing all the way to the bank.
Thanks to Lionel, we can go on that Hawaiian vacation we always wanted.
White sand, clear, blue water, pineapple juice in a coconut cup.
Mama like.
Ok, son, just sign right there.
All right.
Well, we're off to Paris.
La la.
Paris? It's the first stop on our 2-year world tour.
We'll send you a postcard.
Au revoir, Lionel.
Or should I say aloha? I'll just need that signed contract.
Friends forever Precious moments that we shared together Through troubled times and stormy weather Friends forever you and me Cory, Cory.
The deal's off.
What? What? I'm sorry, but Lionel's my best friend.
I thought money was your best friend.
Now, Victor.
It sounds like Cory's made up his mind.
No matter what mama like.
This is why I won't work with humans.
Where in the world's Tendaji? Look, I don't know, Rae, but you can't wait any longer.
We gotta get you out of here, girl.
Ok.
You go check to see if the coast is clear, ok? And, Chels, you check the other exit over there.
You guys, it's ok.
I can walk.
I'm ok, or I can ride on the little train.
It's cool.
Up, up, up, up, up! All hail prince Tendaji.
Just like my vision.
All hail prince Tendaji.
And all hail our next Princess.
Princess Raven.
All hail Princess Raven.
No, no.
No, hey.
People.
Not necessary.
My Princess.
Yeah, we gotta talk about this Princess situation.
Yes, but first, we dance.
What? Ok! Ok, no! Follow the prince.
You know who the prince is.
Ok, speed bump.
This is parallel, people.
We're getting ok.
I'm not really dancing like I should be, so maybe we should slow it down a little bit.
Can't get it right.
To the marriage altar.
No, fellas, this is my stop.
Ok, I'm sorry.
Stop! Stop! Ok, nice catch, fellas.
Princess-to-be, are you ok? Tendaji, man, we've gotta talk.
We will have plenty of time to talk after the wedding.
No, there's not gonna be a wedding.
What? Why not? I think you're great.
You're nice, you're sweet, and, dude, you're like a You're like a total prince.
It's true.
I am a total prince.
But I'm too young.
If I'd have known what all those gifts would've meant, I would've never led you on.
I'm sorry.
It is I who should apologize to you.
In my country, we believe in marriage at first sight.
I guess our customs are pretty different then? I'm sorry I ruined our wedding.
Hope you'll forgive me.
Can we still be friends? Of course.
And even if we are not married, you will always be my Princess.
Gonna like staying friends.
All right, boys.
You can let me down now.
Raven! Your feet have touched the ground.
W- why? Is something wrong with the ground? Only in the sense that you have disgraced our entire country.
In order to remove our shame, we must now ceremoniously shave your head.
Shave my head? Please, please, please don't shave my head, please.
Ok, I'm only joking.
The wedding is off, but the party is on.
I don't have my bell, anyway.
Everybody dance.
See, now that my feet are on the ground, I'll show y'all how Americans get down.
Hook it up! Hook it up! Yeah, Chels, after I got back from the party, I was so grounded.
My parents were so mad about me sneaking out and almost getting married.
Anyway, I had to return all of Tendaji's gifts, including the wedding dress.
But There is one gift I'm gonna keep for a while.
Anyway, I gotta go.
I'm getting hungry.
Ok, girl, I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
Fellas, kitchen.
I could get used to this.
