That's So Raven (2003) s03e17 Episode Script
They Work Hard for His Honey
All right, this is the student store where you volunteered to work.
We didn't even volunteer, Ms.
Depaulo.
Yeah, and you tricked us because there's no pony rides in here.
Well, do we at least get student service credit? Only if you do a good job.
But if you don't, you're fired.
Wait.
One of you has to be store manager.
Let me give this some serious thought.
One potato, 2 potato Eddie! Now, ok, I know Ms.
Depaulo put me in charge, but I'm not into the whole bossing people around thing.
We're a team, and any decisions we make we make together.
We cool? Yeah, we're cool.
Yeah, we're cool.
All right, let's open up.
Eddie? Hey, Chantel.
I didn't see you at lunch today.
Well, I'll be working here now.
Yeah, but what about Chantel time? Well, don't worry, snookums.
We're still on for tonight.
Good.
Because I'm in the mood for a really good steak.
Excuse me.
Ok.
Staff meeting! Can I borrow some money? Chantel's in the mood for steak.
No.
We just loaned you money to take her out for lobster.
Yeah.
How come she's never in the mood for something you can afford? Yeah? Well, look, ladies, I know Chantel has expensive tastes.
But she's worth it.
Do it for your boy.
All right, we got you.
Cool! Steak it is, baby.
I can't wait, snookie-puss.
Me neither, cookie lips.
That is so sweet! I mean, how come we don't have any cute little nicknames, you know? Ok, biscuit head.
Yep, that's me.
Ok, Chels.
I'm sorry.
Who? Biscuit head.
Yes? Check it out.
Ok, by displaying the merchandise in an attractive fashion, people will be more tempted to buy it.
Know what I'm saying My goodness! My bad.
What is this monstrosity?! Ladies, I'd like to introduce you to senor freezy.
Eddie, when did we decide on bringing in senor freezy? It was Chantel's idea.
See, her uncle owns an ice cream store, and she got him to donate an old one to the school.
I hope you guys like it.
It's gonna be so much fun working here.
Excuse me? You're working here? Excuse me? Eddie hired me.
He did? Well, congratulations! Welcome! All right, staff meeting! Excuse me, Eddie, but you are making a lot of decisions without us.
We are a "team.
" Look, I'm sorry, Rae.
I'm sorry.
Look.
It's just that with me working here me and Chantel have no time to spend together.
Eddie! Rae, just wants to spend a little time with his girl.
All right.
But We are a team, Eddie.
Yes, yes, cool! I owe you one.
Ok, y'all, let's get back to work.
This ice cream machine here needs some scrubbing.
Right.
Here you go, Chantel.
No, no, no.
We're gonna give that back to Rae.
Got a special job for you, baby.
Look.
Man, but this thing's filthy.
Why isn't Chantel helping? Blow.
Wait, wait, pace yourself.
Ok? I don't want you getting light-headed.
This is not good, biscuit head.
Yeah.
All right, let's review our fractions.
Again? Man, I could do this in my sleep.
That must be our new student teacher.
I'd like you all to meet Ms.
Bonita.
Hello, class.
Hello, Ms.
Bonita! Class, Ms.
Bonita's here to offer individual attention in any of the areas you need help in.
Now back to the fractions.
Cory? 3/4 plus 1/4 equals? Cory, you know this.
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Applebaum, I just don't get it.
Maybe I need some of that individual attention.
Very well.
Why don't you go in the back and work with Ms.
Bonita? So, Cory, what's the problem? Everything.
This could take a long time.
Whatever it takes, Cory.
I'm here to help.
And if you still don't get it, I do after-school tutoring.
You mean come to my house? If it's ok with your parents.
My dad always listens to reason.
Daddy, I'm dumb.
Cory! Please, I need help with math.
It's so hard.
Son, you're good at math.
Hey, you even do our taxes.
I'm not good at it anymore.
I lost my math mojo.
I need a private tutor.
I need a new accountant.
You know what? I tell you what.
How about I cut back my hours at the Chill Grill and I work with you every day? No, no, no, no, no! No, no, you can't! I mean, you can't let your business suffer just because my brain stopped working.
Un.
Well, I guess I gotta look for a tutor, then.
Look no further.
Bam! Right there.
I see you filled out the permission slip.
No time to waste, dad.
I'm getting dumber by the minute.
Sign, come on! Come on, Chels, what is taking so long? Where's that swirly with sprinkles? I'm working on it! Enjoy your ice cream.
Thank you for shopping at the bayside student store.
Next! Kenny, you still waiting on that backpack? Rae, hurry up with that backpack! I'm working on it! Sorry, Kenny.
You know, good help is so hard to find these days, brother.
They can't all be Chantels.
- heads up! Look, let me stamp your frequent shopper card.
You have a gift, girl.
You really do.
I don't care what nobody says, sugar.
Eddie, I have to go.
Mwah! And don't forget.
Only one more shopping day until somebody's birthday.
Right! You know I got you, sweet thing.
Don't worry about nothing.
I got you.
I got you! Ok? Look, I don't got her.
Look, I really want to get Chantel something nice for her birthday, but look, can I borrow some money? Forget it.
Yeah, no way! We cannot afford your girlfriend anymore.
Ok, so that's what this is all about? You all hating on Chantel? I have nothing against Chantel, but now that you bring it up, she could carry a little bit more of the load around here.
So now you don't like the way I run my business.
Eddie, you're twisting it all up.
Yeah! I mean, come on, Eddie, all Rae is saying here is that you're an unfair, lovesick, money-borrowing tyrant.
But not in a bad way.
You know what? It's all good.
I'm gonna get that money one way or another.
Thanks for helping me out, "team.
" I don't know, Rae.
I'm kind of worried about him.
He sounded really desperate.
Chantel's gonna love me for this! What did you see? Chelsea, he's more desperate than we think.
I just saw Eddie stealing money out of the safe.
Rae, your vision doesn't make any sense.
I mean, do you really think Eddie would steal out of the safe? It's not like him, but then again, he's never been anybody's snookie-puss before.
I believe this settles our account in full.
Eddie, where did you get this money? Let's just say I did what I had to do.
What did you have to do? Don't worry, because what I did is done.
Good day.
Well, I think he done did it.
Well, we have to undid it.
Come on, Chels.
We gotta check that safe.
I just hope we're wrong, Chels.
Me, too! Ok.
It's locked! Why would someone lock a safe? Ok.
We gotta crack this.
You know what? That's easy.
I've seen it done in movies all the time.
Let me see Perfect! Perfect! Here, Chels.
You hear anything, Rae? How about now? How about now? Do you, do you, do you? Man, is this thing on? Chels! Hello, it has to be quiet! Ok.
Thanks a lot.
Can I try? Here, Chels.
Try it out.
Let's see if you can do it.
Ok.
Chels.
Yeah? How'd you do that? The combination's written on the back of this sign.
Ok! Get out of my way.
Well, yep.
It looks like all the money's here.
Good! Yay! Then your vision was wrong and Eddie's not a thief.
Yeah.
What is this? "To Chantel" "Love, Eddie!" My goodness! He bought her a friendship ring! That explains my vision.
Yeah, but if he didn't steal the money, how did he pay for that ring? I don't know.
But it looks expensive.
I'm gonna try it on.
Yes, that is beautiful! I know! It looks so pretty.
So pretty.
Pretty stuck, Chels.
I can't get it off my finger.
Rae, get it off.
I need help.
I'll go get Eddie.
No! Do not go get Eddie! He'll be so mad.
Here, pull my finger.
No way! My cousin Earl tries that one every Thanksgiving, Rae, ok.
Pull my finger to get the ring off.
One! 2! Ready? Ok, one more time.
And Oh, snap! Mrs.
Applebaum? Hi, I'm Victor Baxter.
I'm Cory's dad.
I can see where Cory gets his good looks.
Mrs.
Applebaum! Actually, the reason why I came down is I'm a little concerned about Cory.
He's not doing well in math, and that's always been his best subject.
I know.
He does my taxes.
Saves us a bundle every year.
But he mentioned something about a tutor.
Yes, Ms.
Bonita, our new student teacher.
That's his tutor? Mmh.
"Daddy, I'm dumb.
" Yeah, right.
I can't see the ring, Chels.
Rae, come on, what are we gonna do? You know what? I'm going in.
Come grab my feet.
No! Cousin Earl tries that one, too, Rae.
Chelsea, get over here and grab my feet.
I have to get Eddie's ring out of here! Ok, be careful.
Ok! How you doing down there? I'm stuck, I'm stuck.
Jeez I think I got something.
Chels? Ok, come on! Get me out! Pull me out! Come here, come here! I broke something off the machine.
Yeah, Rae, not good! You broke the a-4 regulator valve.
What? How do you know this? Tsk! Ok, how do you not know that? Will you please go get me a towel? I am freezing.
We have to figure out a way to get that ring out of there.
I know.
What are you two doing in here? The store is supposed to be closed.
We could ask you the same question.
Good one, Rae! Go ahead, ask him.
Look, I just came by here to pick something up, ok? Not that it's any of your business.
We have to stop him from getting into that safe.
Ok, I'm on it.
All right.
27! 18! 87! 92! Hike! What are you doing? Nothing, dude.
Just felt like spouting off some random numbers.
Was it distracting? Nooo! Chantel's gonna love me for this.
That was my vision part.
Wait.
The ring's gone.
And this is the part where he freaks.
Somebody stole Chantel's birthday present.
No, they didn't.
Ok, you two.
I want to know what happened right now.
Ok, first of all, everything we did we did because we care about you.
So You're welcome.
And, secondly, I had a vision you were stealing out of the safe to buy Chantel a birthday present.
What?! Well, I checked out the safe and I found out that everything was still there, so it's all good.
Of course everything was still there, Rae.
I wouldn't steal anything.
We know! Of course you wouldn't, Eddie! Thank you.
So how'd you get the money? I sold my cd collection.
Aha.
I see, I see.
How'd you get the cds? Christmases, birth Look, why am I even talking to you? Where is my ring? That's a funny story, Eddie.
Kind of funny! What happened was Was that I put on the ring and it ended up in senor freezy.
That's funny.
That's not funny.
It was an accident.
Well, y'all need to hurry up and find the ring because any minute Chantel's gonna be here for her big birthday surprise.
You guys, we should just run the machine and see if the ring comes out.
Chelsea, please! That is such Such a good idea.
Yeah.
Ok, I'll take vanilla, Eddie, you take chocolate, Chels, you take strawberry.
I don't really like strawberry.
Will someone trade with me? Girl, if you don't grab a cone and start looking for the ring Something's wrong with the machine.
It's so messy.
I didn't do anything.
Anyway, just keep looking for the ring.
Well, well, no luck.
Nothing.
Man, nada! Next! See? We got a pretty good system going here? Yeah.
Maybe I shouldn't have said that.
No! Turn it off! Rae! It won't listen to me! Stop it! I don't get it.
It's like somebody pulled the a-4 regulator valve.
How does everybody know that? My gosh! You guys, it's getting everywhere! Thanks for the newsflash, captain obvious! Ok, all right, hold on! Get the ring, Eddie, get the ring! I'm trying to feel it, Rae, I'm trying to feel it.
I can't hold it anymore! Hold hey, hey, hey! Help! Spread it around! I can't find it, Eddie! Go over there! Go over there! Chantel will be here any minute! Eddie, I'm ready for my surprise Don't tell me someone pulled the a-4 regulator valve.
We can't turn this thing off! Yeah, I guess that would be one way to do it.
Is everybody ok? Yeah, yeah.
Ok, good.
So, Eddie, where's my surprise? Surprise? Surprise! It's an ice cream cone.
Look, baby, I really tried to do something special for your birthday.
It just everything got all messed up.
What is this? There's a ring in my ice cream.
You found it? I mean, you found it! Eddie, it's beautiful! I fixed you up good, silly lady? "To Chantel, love, Eddie" So I see the ice cream thing worked out well.
I forgot.
Who'd I put in charge? That would be me, Ms.
Depaulo.
Fine.
Clean up this mess, then you're fired! But, Ms.
Depaulo! Is there any more jobs in the library? Look at you all dressed up for tutoring.
Well, dress smart, be smart.
Well, it looks like you're all ready.
Do you want me to stick around? Thanks, but, no, thanks.
Why don't you go wait in the kitchen? She's here! Get in the kitchen! Ms.
Applebaum? Let's get to work, Cory.
Where's Ms.
Bonita? Is she outside parking the car? Change of plans, son.
Hope you don't mind.
Your father decided that any boy this serious about improving his grades needs a teacher with many years of experience.
And that would be Mrs.
Applebaum.
Wait a minute.
17 times 32 is 544.
The square root of 144 is 12! 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4! And 25% of 200 is 50! Mr.
Baxter, it seems that Cory's got his math mojo back.
I figured he would.
Daddy, I'm not dumb! It's a miracle! Hey, Chantel, you don't have to do this.
It's your birthday.
It's ok.
I can handle it.
You guys have been working so hard.
Yeah.
Rae, Chels.
Look, I'm sorry.
We were supposed to be a team and And I was a horrible boss and an even worse friend.
We forgive you.
Thank you, guys.
Chantel, look, I was acting like a big shot to impress you, but in reality I'm just a regular guy who can't afford to take you to all of these fancy places.
Eddie, I don't like you because you take me to fancy places.
You don't? No! I like you because you're my snookie-puss.
Cookie lips! Come on, biscuit head, let's get to work.
Awww! Give me a hug! Son, what are you doing? Warming up.
I'm having some trouble in p.
E.
, so I got a tutor.
Where do you get a tutor for gym? You'd be surprised.
Hello, Pixie.
Good-bye, Pixie.
Dad! You want a tutor for gym? Then drop and give me 20, solider! But Now! One! Unh! 1 and 1/2.
Maybe you do need a tutor.
We didn't even volunteer, Ms.
Depaulo.
Yeah, and you tricked us because there's no pony rides in here.
Well, do we at least get student service credit? Only if you do a good job.
But if you don't, you're fired.
Wait.
One of you has to be store manager.
Let me give this some serious thought.

That was my vision part.
Wait.
The ring's gone.
And this is the part where he freaks.
Somebody stole Chantel's birthday present.
No, they didn't.

You guys, we should just run the machine and see if the ring comes out.
Chelsea, please! That is such Such a good idea.
Yeah.
Ok, I'll take vanilla, Eddie, you take chocolate, Chels, you take strawberry.
I don't really like strawberry.
Will someone trade with me? Girl, if you don't grab a cone and start looking for the ring Something's wrong with the machine.
It's so messy.

It's like somebody pulled the a-4 regulator valve.
How does everybody know that? My gosh! You guys, it's getting everywhere! Thanks for the newsflash, captain obvious! Ok, all right, hold on! Get the ring, Eddie, get the ring! I'm trying to feel it, Rae, I'm trying to feel it.
I can't hold it anymore! Hold hey, hey, hey! Help! Spread it around! I can't find it, Eddie! Go over there! Go over there! Chantel will be here any minute! Eddie, I'm ready for my surprise Don't tell me someone pulled the a-4 regulator valve.
We can't turn this thing off! Yeah, I guess that would be one way to do it.
Is everybody ok? Yeah, yeah.
Ok, good.
So, Eddie, where's my surprise? Surprise? Surprise! It's an ice cream cone.
Look, baby, I really tried to do something special for your birthday.
It just everything got all messed up.
What is this? There's a ring in my ice cream.
You found it? I mean, you found it! Eddie, it's beautiful! I fixed you up good, silly lady? "To Chantel, love, Eddie" So I see the ice cream thing worked out well.
I forgot.
Who'd I put in charge? That would be me, Ms.
Depaulo.
Fine.
Clean up this mess, then you're fired! But, Ms.
Depaulo! Is there any more jobs in the library? Look at you all dressed up for tutoring.
Well, dress smart, be smart.
Well, it looks like you're all ready.
Do you want me to stick around? Thanks, but, no, thanks.
Why don't you go wait in the kitchen? She's here! Get in the kitchen! Ms.
Applebaum? Let's get to work, Cory.
Where's Ms.
Bonita? Is she outside parking the car? Change of plans, son.
Hope you don't mind.
Your father decided that any boy this serious about improving his grades needs a teacher with many years of experience.
And that would be Mrs.
Applebaum.
Wait a minute.
17 times 32 is 544.
The square root of 144 is 12! 1/2 times 1/2 equals 1/4! And 25% of 200 is 50! Mr.
Baxter, it seems that Cory's got his math mojo back.
I figured he would.
Daddy, I'm not dumb! It's a miracle! Hey, Chantel, you don't have to do this.
It's your birthday.
It's ok.
I can handle it.
You guys have been working so hard.
Yeah.
Rae, Chels.
Look, I'm sorry.
We were supposed to be a team and And I was a horrible boss and an even worse friend.
We forgive you.
Thank you, guys.
Chantel, look, I was acting like a big shot to impress you, but in reality I'm just a regular guy who can't afford to take you to all of these fancy places.
Eddie, I don't like you because you take me to fancy places.
You don't? No! I like you because you're my snookie-puss.
Cookie lips! Come on, biscuit head, let's get to work.
Awww! Give me a hug! Son, what are you doing? Warming up.
I'm having some trouble in p.
E.

Where do you get a tutor for gym? You'd be surprised.
Hello, Pixie.
Good-bye, Pixie.
Dad! You want a tutor for gym? Then drop and give me 20, solider! But Now! One! Unh! 1 and 1/2.
Maybe you do need a tutor.
