Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 9 - The Trouble with Levi - full transcript

After being advanced to Booker's science class, Levi is subsequently seemingly "dissed" by Booker for lunch, and is gradually drawn into a support group for similarly "dissed siblings."

"Raven's Home" was filmed
in front of a live studio audience.

Could you crunch
any louder?

Sure.

I mean, you asked.

Could you two be
any more immature?

Probably.

- Yup!
- Yup!

You know,
what they say is right.

Breakfast really is the most
annoying meal of the day.

Sorry, Nia, we just love
our Franken Crunch.

And Berry Buddies. You can
call us "Franken Buddies."



Ha!

- What's that?
- Oh, calm down. It's the landline.

Hello? Oh yes,
Principal Wentworth.

If one of y'all did anything,
you gonna get it.

So glad you're an angel.

Oh yeah, well, um,
she's right here.

- It's about yo angel.
- Oh.

Looks like
Levi's gonna get it.

No, I'm not. I'm a
model student, Auntie Rae.

Levi, Principal
Wentworth wants

to see us first thing
this morning.

I'm gonna get it.

Bookman! You okay?

Yeah. I'm...
just worried about Levi.



He's in the principal's office.

No, he'll be fine.
Now focus.

We've got some serious
business to take care of.

Sorry. Proceed.

You guys got nothing.

Check this out.

Ah.

It didn't even
make a sound.

- Lame!
- We'll wait for it.

Ow!

How did you
make it smell?

Science.

Morning, students.

Who's ready to have fun
in Science class?

You are...

because science does matter.

Anyway, we have a new
student joining us today.

Ooh, I hope
it's a pretty girl,

'cause she's gonna be sitting
next to the Bookman!

Class, please welcome
Levi Grayson.

- Levi?
- He's not a pretty girl.

Levi, I thought
you were in trouble.

Nope. Principal Wentworth
just thought I needed to be

in a more advanced
science class.

Isn't that great,
Franken Buddy?

- "Franken Buddy"?
- "Franken Buddy"?

It... it's a cereal thing.

That's cute.
You guys are Franken Buddies.

Ah.

Oh, not again.

Season 02 Episode 09

Episode Title :
"The Trouble With Levi"

Uh, Ms. Pittman?

When you say
our science projects

are due "this week,"

do you mean this "this week"

or next "this week"?

Well, since that makes
no sense at all...

I mean three days from now.

And when you say,
"Three days from now," like...

Friday, Curtis.
I mean Friday!

My first advanced
science project.

Should we get to work?

We're working a little
science of our own, first.

Teach us how
to make them smell!

Pittman alert.

Aerodynamics was
my first choice,

but after testing
the viscosity

and quantum density
of the atmosphere proved...

You're getting really good
at using big words

to pretend we're working.

He knows big words,
because every night,

we go over the word of the day.

Tell 'em last night's word,
Booker.

Um, there wasn't one,

because we don't do that...

ever. Excuse us a second.

The word was "befuddled,"

which means confused,
which is what I am right now.

Well, then let me
unfuddle you.

Curtis and The Guntz
are my boys.

And we don't talk about stuff
like "words of the day."

We're just cool,
so just be cool.

Got it! Be cool.

So, what are you guys doing
for your projects?

I'm going with the classic
erupting volcano.

Me too.
Easy "A."

Oof.

What's wrong
with the volcano?

Well, it's just
that I did that project

in my fourth-grade class,

and I thought this class
was more advanced.

Okay.

Um... I'm befuddled by what
you think "cool" means.

Look, just try to relax,

and if you get the chance,
make 'em laugh.

- Got it.
- So, what's Levi

the Tiny Science Guy
doing for his project?

The elephant
toothpaste experiment.

It's where you cause
a chemical reaction

in the bottle
and foam slowly oozes out.

Hey, I'm doing that too.

Of course, I have
some experience with foam,

since I have to shave
my beard every day.

You don't have a beard.

That's 'cause...
I shave.

- Cool!
- Cool!

It's true.
I've seen it.

See? The man knows.

Yup, every night when
he's taking his bubble bath,

he makes
this giant bubble beard

and shaves it.

So hilarious!

Dude! You still take
bubble baths?

Well, I-I...

The Bookman is
now Bubblebeard.

I did it.
I made them laugh.

- Isn't this great?
- Yeah.

Great.

Cool. Cool. Cool.

I can get it in!
I can get it in!

Come on, close! Close!

That's the problem, Chels!
We got too many clothes!

Is everything okay?

It sounds like two
warthogs trying to poop.

- We're fine, sweetie.
- Yeah, I'm good

Do you need help
closing that door?

- Uh, yes!
- Uh, yes!

Great, great. Give away
all your old clothes.

- Problem solved. See ya.
- Nia! Get back here.

Real help.
Come on, push!

Come on, push!

Grunt, Nia.

- Come on! Oh! Yes!
- Yes!

There she goes!

Good grunting, Nia!

See? We don't have
that much stuff.

No.

Uh-oh.

Maybe we should get
rid of a few things.

I just don't get it.

Your teeth have been
like that all day.

Are you mad at me, or are you
working on a ventriloquist act?

Do you see a puppet?

Uh-oh, Rae. Are the boys fighting?
Huh?

Do you think we should be good
parents and go talk to 'em?

No, no, we should be great parents and
let them figure it out for themselves.

How could you tell Curtis
and The Guntz

that I still take
bubble baths?

Now they call me
"Bubblebeard."

Sorry I embarrassed you, Booker.

I was just taking your advice
and trying to make 'em laugh.

I know.

Listen, just promise me
from now on

what happens in apartment 3B
stays in apartment 3B.

Zip it, lock it,
put it in my pocket.

There's my Franken Buddy!

- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, sweetheart.

Hey, honeys.

- Hm-hmm.
- What?

- See? Good parenting.
- Mm-hmm.

- Is that smoke?
- Yeah, Rae,

because we are on fire!
Go, moms!

No, Chels!
Something's actually on fire!

I turned the oven on, but I
haven't put anything in it yet.

No, my... my shoes!

Oh my God!

Oh no! Oh no!

Oh no! Get it... ah!

No!

No.

No! You fried
my flip flop!

Mom, when I said you needed to
clean stuff out of your closet,

I meant out
of the apartment!

Oh. Oh, well, this is your
fault for not being specific.

Okay, I'm taking over
this operation.

No, calm down, Nia.
We can handle our own stuff.

Yeah, Nia, we're adults.

- Oh, really?
- Yeah.

Chels, we're adults
that need help.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Okay, Levi, remember the rules.
Don't embarrass me.

Don't worry, Book,
I got your back.

Hey, guys.
What's going on?

Hey, Bubblebeard.

He doesn't like
when you call him that.

- Why not?
- It's funny!

- It's mean.
- Uh, Levi.

I got this.

Booker's sensitive,
and words hurt him,

so make nice.

What just happened?

Levi just gave you
a new new nickname,

"Mr. Sensitive."

Dude, that little kid is
wrecking your game.

Hey, Nia, have you
seen Booker?

No. Why?

We have the same
lunch period now,

and he's supposed
to meet me here.

Maybe he's in
the cafeteria already.

And forgot to meet me?
No, he wouldn't do that.

You're right.
I'm sure he'll show up.

Maybe he did forget.

Oh, he didn't forget.

Who said that?

We've been watching you.

Here. You'll need this.

"Dissed Sibs Anonymous"?

It's a secret support group.

For kids who get dissed
by their older siblings.

- Why would I need that?
- Because you just got dissed.

No, I didn't.
He'll show up.

Read the back of the card.

"They never show up."

That's our motto.

We meet Thursdays, 4:00,
in the science room.

If you're gonna come,
bring guac.

Thanks anyway,
but Booker's not like that.

Hold the card
up to the light.

'That's what they all say."

Okay, you've separated
all of your clothes

into "Keep," "Maybe,"

and "Garage Sale."

Yeah. -Are you 100%
sure of your decisions?

- Yes.
- Positive.

Great...

then you won't mind
me doing this.

No!

Leave my maybes alone!

Sorry, ladies,
but maybes are for babies.

If it wasn't good enough
for the "Keep" box.

It goes
in the goodbye box.

No, no, no!
Not my Hawaiian shirt!

Really, Chels?
Really? Really.

When was the last time
you actually wore that?

I don't...
A few years ago!

If you haven't worn it
in a year,

say, "Aloha."

I got it on my
honeymoon in Hawaii.

Yeah, your marriage
was hanging on by a thread,

and so is this shirt.

Guess that's why you're
getting divorced from that too.

When is the last time
you wore that sweater?

Right now.
Right now. Right now.

I'm wearing it right now.
Right now.

Hey, what happened to you?
I waited for you after school

and you never showed up.

Yup.

And I waited
for you at lunch too.

Yup.

Hold on.

You didn't forget, did you?

You didn't show up
on purpose.

Yup.

I can't believe you just
blowed me off like that.

You didn't
give me a choice.

Every time you're
around Curtis and The Guntz,

you blab something about me and
I get a new nickname.

So you just left me hanging?

What kind of Franken
Buddy are you?

The kind who wants
to eat lunch,

or walk home with my friends
without you embarrassing me.

Embarrassing you?

What do you mean?
Today I defended you.

Which is embarrassing!

Having you fight my battles and
telling my boys I'm sensitive...

You're wrecking my game!

So just back off, okay?
I need my space!

You want your space?
You got it!

- I'm moving out.
- You can't do that!

- Why not?
- Because I'm kicking you out!

Hi. I'm Levi,
and I'm a dissed sib.

- Hi, Levi. - Hi, Levi. - Hi, Levi.
- Hi, Levi. - Hi, Levi.

So, Levi, is there anything you'd
like to share with the group?

I brought guac!

I meant your story.

Okay, well, Booker and
I are like brothers,

- and usually he's really cool.
- But...?

But then he blew
me off for lunch...

and our walk
home from school.

And last night...
we got into a fight,

and now we're not even
sleeping in the same room.

- Ooh.
- We've all been there,

which is why I asked
everyone at the last meeting

for suggestions on what we can
do to make the dissing stop.

And the top three were...
"Ignore them,"

"Tell our moms," and "Make
this face at them."

So, we'll now take a vote

on which one
of those things we'll do.

That's it?

I don't know, guys. Maybe it's
because my wounds are fresh,

but I feel like revenge
is the way to go here.

Hmm. "Revenge."

I like it.

Okay. New vote.

All in favor of Levi
leading the revolution?

- Levi! Levi!
- Levi! Levi!

Shh! Ms. Pittman
doesn't know we're in here.

Levi! Levi! Levi! Levi!

Thank you. Aunt Chelsea,
this is going great.

We should have
everything sold in no time.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh. Ah. Hawaii. Yeah.

Yeah. Gosh, that was
the sweatiest trip ever,

but that shirt was a lifesaver.

It just... absorbed everything.

Yes!

Really, Aunt Chelsea?

Even my mom
wouldn't stoop this low.

Give it. You... you just
gonna take this shirt

from an old lady?

Well, I... don't even have
enough time to enjoy it!

Really, Mom?

I ain't your mama.

- Yeah? Yeah, yeah?
- Oh. Oh.

You're not my ma? Then...

Why do you want my mom's T-shirt
that says, "Fueled by rap"?

Oh, well, sweetie-pie,

you know, that's... that's
because I'm a rapper.

You know, the kids,
they call me...

They call me Nana Minaj.

'cause I'm like a rapping.
Ficki, ficki, ficki napping.

Takes a lot out of you.

I'm just gonna take my nap
right here, baby.

- Okay, I think we're done here.
- No, no, no!

She's young!
I'm old! I'm an old lady!

Now, Rae, you heard her!
Outta here, huh? Outta here!

- You too, Aunt Chelsea!
- Fine! Fine!

I'm going! I'm going!

I used to love that scarf...

until it gave me lice.

Don't worry, Tanner. I've come up with
the perfect plan to get back at Booker.

Tomorrow in science class,
he won't know what hit him,

but hit him, It... will my
homework be done by tomorrow?

Absolutely. Bye.

What are you doing here?

Can't sleep, and Franken
Crunch always chills me out.

Well, Franken Crunch
that in your room.

You know my mom
doesn't let me eat in my room.

Well, you can't eat
in mine either.

- Says who?
- Says me.

Oh yeah?

Ah!

That was funny
when you did it to Nia,

but it's gross
when you do it to me.

Well, your crunching is
annoying when you do it to me.

Rae, this is
getting serious.

I think we should
do something.

Oh, Chels, come on, how many times
have we had this exact same fight?

And look at us.

Good point. Yeah.

I can't believe
this used to fun.

Okay, everyone, we're ready
for our science presentations.

First up, Booker Baxter.

Okay, Booker,
give it a little solar flare.

Thanks, Ms. Pittman! Okay.

Today I will be doing the
elephant toothpaste experiment,

where I will demonstrate
a chemical reaction

when a catalyst,
my yeast mixture,

removes oxygen
from this hydrogen peroxide.

You did it, Levi.
You got revenge on Booker.

His science experiment
totally blew up in his face.

Booker, your presentation?

Uh, Ms. Pittman,

I would like to ask a student
to come up and assist me.

Sure. Who would like to help
Booker with his presentation?

Ha! Levi it is!

Me? I didn't even
raise my hand.

Nah, I saw your pinky move.

Go on, Levi,
make a quantum leap.

Just...

I know you rigged this
to get back at me.

What? I didn't
do anything.

Oh yeah? Well, I had a
vision that says otherwise.

Fine. I was going to,
but I just couldn't do it.

I don't believe you.

My assistant will now take a
step closer to the beaker...

while I pour some of the
yeast mixture into it.

Safety goggles on.

I told you nothing's gonna happen,
because I didn't do anything.

Oh yeah?
Well, then you won't mind

if I pour
a little more in there.

- I wouldn't if I were you.
- Well, you're not me.

Uh-oh.

Oh!

Look! It's the
Bubblebeard Brothers!

So, you really didn't
do anything?

No. I don't want to ruin our
relationship over one little fight.

That still doesn't
explain my vision.

You did it, Levi.
You got revenge on Booker.

His science experiment
totally blew up in his face.

In your face, Booker!

Huh. My vision played out
differently than I thought.

What made you
change your mind?

After our Crunch-burp fight
last night...

I saw my Berry Buddy cereal box
alone on the counter...

and it just didn't look right
without your Franken Crunch.

I didn't mean
to get so mad, Levi.

I like being your brother
and your roommate.

It's just... I'm older and I
have my own friends...

and sometimes
I need my own space.

It's cool. I get it.

We don't have to do
everything together.

And if you want, I can even go
back to my old science class.

No, that's not what I want.

You deserve
to be in this class.

Then how about I just switch seats with
that pretty girl you like in the front row?

Molly Gillespie? Deal!

Boys, Principal Wentworth
will see you now.

I hope you realize
the gravity of the situation.

Looks like we're
both gonna get it.

At least we gonna
get it together.

- Come on, Franken Buddy.
- Let's go.

- Knock, knock.
- Oh!

Hey, sweetheart.

Nia, I just wanna thank you
for helping us de-clutter.

I mean, honestly,
it's like a weight

has been lifted
off my shoulders.

And being able to donate
all the leftover clothes

to the women's shelter made me
feel even better.

I'm really glad
I could help.

Hm-Mmm.

Oh! No, Mom,
I'll put my clothes away.

Oh no, it's okay,
sweetheart.

Don't worry about it. I mean, after all
that you did for us, I got you, girl.

Mom, just... I don't...

Chels! Get three boxes!

We about to have a garage sale!
