Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 17 - Just Call Me Vic - full transcript

Encouraged by her twins, Raven finally begins seriously pursuing the possibility of achieving the job of her dreams by seeking out an assistant--preferably an unpaid one. Meanwhile, her father, Victor comes to visit.

Your mamma finally
got a job, Levi.

Whoo! She is
teaching young inventors

on a cruise ship
in the Caribbean

for two months.
Ha-ha!

Two months
of unlimited access

to the... midnight buffet and all
the crab legs she could eat.

If it makes you
feel any better,

she doesn't
even like crab legs.

Two months.
Unlimited.

Levi, are you sure
you're okay?

- Sure you don't want to go with her?
- No,



I don't want to leave
school and Booker and Nia.

And Auntie Rae, you're like
a second mom to me.

Aw, thank you, Levi.

Hey, do you think
your first mom

could overnight me
some of them crab legs?

You okay, Auntie Rae?

I feel like
you're hiding something

behind all the crab leg talk.

Oh, no, no, no.
I'm fine, Levi.

I mean, I'm gonna
miss your mom

but I can handle it.

Well, that's good to hear
because

she really couldn't have left
at a worse time for you.

You know,
starting your own business,



trying to hire an assistant,
driving the Scut.

Nothing I can't handle.

And now you're taking over
my mom's responsibilities.

Doing the laundry,
cleaning the apartment...

- Levi, what are you doing?
- Making our lunches,

helping us with homework...

Levi, what are you doing?

Oh! I'm reading off
of my mom's chore list.

Which I guess
is your chore list now.

Look how many things
are on this list.

- Hey, Mom.
- Hey.

Hey. How'd the drop-off
with Aunt Chelsea go?

Terrible.

I dropped off my best friend
and I gained a list.

I used to think
Chelsea did nothing.

It turns out,
she did everything.

You know, Auntie Rae,
if it makes things easier,

us kids can do all the
chores on my mom's list.

Did he just say
what I think he did?

Thank you, second son.

Did she just say
what I think she did?

Look, Mom. We'd really
love to help you

but Tess and I are
in the middle of setting up

this little free library
for the lobby.

Yeah, and Levi and I are in
the middle of a drone battle

with Curtis and the Guntz
from our roof to their roof.

A drone battle?

Yeah. We keep dropping
water balloons on each other

but they're still
way ahead.

We gotta score some points.

Good. Levi's
back on our side.

But that doesn't mean
we can't do chores.

Why is he still talking?

Hey, Mom. This is
a really long list.

Yeah, that's why
I'm giving it to you.

I got a list of my own
stuff I gotta get done.

Well then it's
a good thing I'm here.

- Grandpa!
- Dad!

What are you doing here?

Well, when you told me
that Chelsea was leaving,

I figured you could use
an extra set of hands.

Grandpa can do our chores!

And Grandpa's
not doing your chores.

Season 02 Episode 17

Episode Title :
" Just Call Me Vic"

Have you always done that?

Nope. It's new.

Your mom wanted me
to get a hobby.

There it is.

Look, Dad.
See, I needed help

starting my own business
so I put an online ad

for an assistant
and I just got another no.

Hmm.
An assistant?

I'll tell you what, 'til you
find one, I'm your guy.

Really, Dad?
Really?

Okay, so I have to warn you.
It doesn't pay anything.

It's just an internship.

You can pay me in hugs.

Deal. I got
a Scut shift right now.

You know what? You can
answer emails while I drive.

Uh, not without
a little advance.

Okay, give me a little hug.

Okay, Daddy.
Okay, come on.

We can't let Mom
steal Grandpa.

We need him
to do our chores

so we can get back
to our drone battle.

And our little free library.

What? Nia, nobody's saying
we have to do that.

No one but the nation.

It's national
book month, Tess.

And we said that we were
gonna do this together, right?

Yeah, totally.

It'll be fun.

Not as fun
as a drone battle.

Bye, kids!

Oh, wait, wait!

Um, Mom.
You can't take Grandpa.

Uh, yeah.
We need him.

For what?

- Chores.
- Chores.

- Hugs!
- Hugs!

Okay, all right.
Hug time's over.

Hug time's over.
He's coming with me.

He's my Daddy.
All right?

- Bye.
- Later.

Great.

We leave you alone with her
for one car ride, Levi.

And now, we're stuck
with this.

I know.

But my mom
had just left,

and I wasn't
thinking straight.

Oh, no, no. It's okay, Levi.
Don't get upset.

Yeah, we don't blame you.

Wow, I can't
believe that worked.

I can't wait to see
your new office, Rae.

Uh, Dad. You do know that my
office is my Scut car, right?

Bright side:
Your office has cup holders.

No. It doesn't actually.

I get a lot
of complaints about that.

Hey! Is your dog wearing
a Paisley Studio design?

Yes! Basil and I
love Paisley's designs.

I wish they made
them in my size.

- Oh-kurrr.
- Oh-kurr.

Well, I just want
to let you know

that um, I...
I designed that.

We're supposed to believe
you're Raven Baxter?

It's true. I'm her dad.

And we're supposed to believe
you're Raven Baxter's dad?

We'll just look up a photo
of Raven Baxter online and...

I... speak... can't.

No, we will not
take a selfie with her, Basil.

I can't believe all the
laundry machines are taken.

Maybe we could
just fold them anyway.

Mom won't even know
they're dirty.

I'm pretty sure she will.

What?
They can't be that...

How bad could
it possibly...

Oh, that's not even human!

I guess we're
just gonna have to wait

for the laundry machines
to free up.

Oh, no!

Uh-oh.
I just had a vision.

Curtis and The Guntz
are gonna attack us again.

What?
That's not good.

We've gotta strike first
or else they win.

Nia, we don't have time
to wait for those machines.

There's gotta be
a faster way to wash these.

How?

Come on!

Hey, Dad.

Can you take this
really fast?

Uh. Can you check and see,
as my temporary assistant,

if I got any
new responses for my ad.

I already got 30 people
that said no.

Don't worry.
I'm on it.

Ooh, this is fancy.

I got a flip phone.
Love the flip.

Flip is like the future.

Uh...

Dad, you just
deleted an email.

Oh, my bad.

Um. Maybe it's
this button.

No, now you're
just sending stuff.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Maybe I should use
two thumbs.

Um, you... you don't
have a cup holder.

Now I see why
you're getting complaints.

Here, Rae. Hold this.

No, Dad. I'm trying
to make a turn.

My temporary assistant
apologizes.

It's his first day.

Uh-oh. She's mad.

Eye-twitching mad.

Whoo!
We did it!

All right. Smell test.

Okay.

Mountain fresh.

Ha!

I believe a celebration
is in order.

I think so.
All right.

- To clean laundry. - To clean laundry.
- To clean laundry. - To clean laundry.

Oh, no, no, no.
It's turning the water pink.

We're never gonna get these
clean before Mom gets back.

Uh-oh.

Can't we just
tell her the truth

and say we spilled
some juice?

Your mom got mad
at me for spilling juice.

Eye-twitching mad.

Nah, we can't tell her
we spilled the juice.

So, Grandpa.
What do you think?

Nothing that a little
bleach can't fix.

That's how I keep
my tighty-whities white.

So, can you
help us or not?

That's what
grandpas are for.

I'll you what.

Why don't you guys
go and have some fun?

I'll clean all this up
and

I'll finish all
the rest of the chores

on this list.

- Thanks, Grandpa. - Thanks, Grandpa.
- Thanks, Grandpa. - Thanks, Grandpa.

That's what
grandpas are for.

You said that already.

Grandpas also
repeat things.

This means
that Tess and I

can go put our free
library in the lobby.

Come on, Tess.
Let's go get our library on.

- Did she just say "get our library on"?
- Did she just say "get our library on"?

And you and I
can head to the roof.

It's drone battle time.

Drone battle?

Notice he didn't
pop in on free library.

Yep. A drone battle.

I'm in.

What? But you said you'd clean
up before Mom gets home.

Your mom's Scut shift
won't be over for hours.

I say attack now,
clean later.

Hello? Hello? Are you calling
about my job listing?

Great, great!
Yeah... Oh.

Well, um, no, no.

I'm not paying minimum wage.

Oh no, oh no.
I'm paying maximum wage.

Yeah. Well, that means
the maximum I can pay.

How much?

Well, uh, ha,
there's a lot of zeros.

In fact, it's all zeros...
Hello?

Okay. Books are in.

Do you really think
people are gonna know

what a little
free library is?

Ooh! Little free library.

He knows.

Boring... Boring.
Boring!

Ooh. "Hemlines
Through the Ages"?

You should take it.

Oh, I'm gonna.

Did you know the hemline
is the historical cornerstone

upon which
women's fashion is built?

This book belongs
to Raven Baxter?

Yeah. Yeah, I know.
It's my mom's book.

Raven Baxter's your mom?

Uh, yeah. Yeah maybe you can
actually meet her sometime.

Stop it.

I'm gonna read this
cover to cover.

Oh, wait!
Sorry.

Take a book,
leave a book.

Oh, sorry.
I'm just so frazzled.

Here, take that.

I can't wait
to show Basil.

Basil!

See, Tess.
We're saving the nation.

Whatever you say, Nia.

Oh no!
Curtis and The Guntz

are almost done filling
their water balloons.

Don't worry.

Those guys only have
water balloons.

We have guac, salsa,
and marinara balloons.

Ha-ha!

That's what they get
for messing with Chef Victor.

Booker, what are you doing?

Sorry.
I didn't have lunch.

Yes, yes.
That's right.

Maximum wage
means no pay.

No, no, no.
No, no, no.

You don't hang up first.
I hang up first.

Okay, hi.
I'm your Scuter, Raven.

Welcome to your Scut ride.

Thank you so much
for picking me up.

I just quit my job
and I could not

- get out of there fast enough.
- Ooh!

It was a circus.

Ha-ha! Girl.

I've had some jobs
that were total circuses too.

No, I literally worked
for the circus.

My boss was a clown.

Honey, I get it. I've had
some bosses that were clowns.

He was literally a clown.

I hate clowns.

You couldn't pay me enough
to do that job.

Please. They were
paying me peanuts.

I've had some jobs
where the pay was...

No! Literally peanuts.

So um, you're okay
working for free?

Yes, because I was
getting college credit

for my business class.

Hey! Hey.

What would you say
about getting college credits

for, like, an exciting
upstart fashion company?

Well, I need to see
the workspace.

You know, make sure it's a neat,
clean, professional environment.

Like, am I gonna have to share
a desk with a bearded lady?

Well not today, girl.

Take a book,
leave a book?

Hi. Take a book,
leave a book?

Tess. What are
we gonna do?

I'd so much rather
be in that drone battle.

Just tell her the truth.

She'll understand.

I gotta go
to the bathroom.

Hey, Nia!

We heard you have a little
free library over here.

Y-Y-You did? You know,
it's national book month.

And that's why we're gonna
take all of your books.

Oh, Great!
Take them, please.

Uh, but you guys know you've got
to take books, leave books.

Don't worry. You'll get
these back soon enough.

Well, there's only
one book left.

And it's not even a book.

It's Sebastian's notebook.

Hey.

This is actually really good.

Well, here we are.

At my very
professional work environment.

I hope so because
I like you, Raven,

and I think we could be
a good fit.

I've almost got her. Yes!

Ooh. Someone's gonna get it.

- Is something wrong?
- No, no, no.

Nothing's wrong at all.
Actually, um...

My very efficient
clean-up crew

just needs
a little bit more time.

And while
I'm checking in on them...

Why don't you, um...

Why don't you check out
my home rooftop office?

It's amazing.
Go check it out.

It's open air,
natural lighting.

Up, up.
Up, up, up.

Go. Keep going.

Okay now.

Dad! Kids!

Are you serious?

Pink clothes?
A kiddie pool?

Ooh, a whole lot of people
are gonna get it.

- Booker.
- What?

Stop eating the ammo.

Well, I tied some.

It's like Nia's library.

You tie some,
you eat some.

But we only made
four balloons. Come on!

Hurry.

Curtis and The Guntz' drones
will be here any minute.

Uh-oh.

Tess, if you didn't want
to do the library with me,

why didn't you just tell me?

'Cause I'm scared of you.

'Cause I wanted to be
supportive of you.

Incoming!

Bob and weave, kids.

Don't let the enemy
get a fixed target.

These are my books
from the library.

They're dropping my books.

They destroyed
all of our ammo.

They won.

Well, they didn't have any
of my grandpa's guac.

So did they really win?

Just wave the white flag.

Son, no one
is giving up today.

We still have one last
guacamole balloon.

Now, their drones
may be quicker,

they may not be bogged down
with stamina issues,

or arthritic knees,

or sudden onset vertigo,

but we have something
they will never have.

Too much information
about your health?

We're a family.

And families
don't ever let anyone quit.

They rally.

Now hand me that remote.

Go, Grandpa!

- Guac attack.
- Go get 'em.

Uh, guys.

Why is it coming
right for us?

Hey. Hey, hey, Grandpa.

Turn it around.
You're losing control.

I'm trying. I don't
just have arthritic knees.

My thumbs
are pretty bad too.

Here it comes.
Everybody take cover.

Oh no! My vision.

Hey. I got tea
downs...

What's going on?

This is worse than when the
elephant hosed me down.

It's like I'm
at the circus.

- I can't go back.
- No, no, no.

- I can't.
- Andrea, this isn't...

- I won't.
- No, no, no.

- It's okay.
- No!

Do you know
who that was?

That was...
the only person I found...

who was gonna be
my assistant

and work for free.

Mom, I'm sorry
we ruined...

No, no, no.
No, no, no.

Don't even worry about it.
You know what? Just...

Just stay on this roof
and play your little games

instead of doing
what I asked you to do.

I'm never gonna ask you to do
anything else. You know what?

I am waving the white flag.

- Yes!
- We win!

We really did it
this time, guys.

Yep.

Hey, guys. I think I have a way
to make this right for Mom.

I do too.

Wow.

Who did you get to come
in here and clean...

Me, Dad. Me.

Me, I did it.
You know why?

'Cause if I want
something done right,

I'm gonna have to
do it myself.

You know...

It's not enough that I'm trying
to start my own business

and keep up with Scut,

but I also have to raise
two kids,

and I got another one on loan.

And knock, knock,
surprise!

Who is it?
I got a fourth.

Okay. I deserve that.

My bad, Dad.
My bad, Dad.

I just feel like I'm always
juggling stuff,

trying to make it work,
you know?

Andrea's worried about
working for a circus.

My life is a circus.

I get it.

When I first opened
the Chill Grill,

I was raising a family,

and I was juggling
everything too.

I'm still dropping balls.

Well it seemed like
you always made it work.

Maybe that's how
it looked to you, but...

I'm still dropping everything.

I came out here
to help you

and I can't even
get that right.

You don't have
to apologize, Dad.

I'm not apologizing.

Rae, the point is...

No parents are perfect.

Don't be so hard
on yourself.

And, ha-ha!

No kids are perfect.

Don't be so hard
on them.

And besides, Chelsea
just left this morning.

This morning?
Feels like a month.

Give the kids some time.

And then, give yourself
some time.

Don't wave
the white flag just yet.

You're right, Dad.

I won't.

Thank you.

- I love you.
- I love you too, baby.

Hey, Mom.

What do you three want?

We just wanted to say
we know we really messed up.

Yeah.

We were selfish.

So, if you still
have that list,

we'd really like
to do those chores.

For real this time.

That would be helpful.

- Thank you.
- Of course.

And we know
you think you lost out

on finding
that perfect assistant,

but we might have found you
an even better one.

All right, come on in.

Come on.
Remember?

Raven.

Sebastian, tell my mom
about the master's program

you're in at
The Chicago Fashion Institute.

I-I-I-I... market clothes good.

Okay, kids, come here.

Let me talk to you.
Come here.

Um, he can't even
complete a sentence.

I appreciate the help
but thank you, no.

Mom. Mom,
please just read, okay?

Look at his notebook.

He has a whole plan on how to
launch an upstart fashion company.

You did this?

I market clothes good.

Okay, listen. You look really
good on paper, but in person...

- Work free.
- You're hired.

- Welcome to Ravenous.
- Oh!

- I got the job?
- Unpaid.

I'm working
for Raven Baxter.

For free.

I can't wait to get started.

I'm thinking photo shoot.

I'm gonna make you
huge on QuikSnap

and we're gonna
monetize those posts.

Do you have
a business plan?

Never mind.
I have one.

Let's sync our calendars

so I can start scheduling
meetings with investors.

Then interviews,
then... Oprah.

I'm so excited.

Ooh, I need some
bubbly water.

Why is there a kiddie pool
full of wet clothes in here?

Never mind.
I'll clean it up.

- We got it. - We got it.
- We got it. - We got it.
