Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 4, Episode 15 - The Slumber Years - full transcript

Whoa, Levi, are those
your old cow PJS?

Man, I haven't seen
those things in a while.

Yep. These bad boys have been
with me through thick and thin.

And short and tall.

They've gotten smaller, but
they still bring me good luck.

And I haven't needed
this much luck

- since I was this...
- (loud ripping)

Big.

Well, if it helps,
I do feel very lucky

that I didn't have to see that.

My teeth
are officially brushed.



Oh, are you sure
you got them all?

Because it only
took you an hour.

Um, looking this good
is a process, okay?

All right twins, off to your
twin beds. And Tess, go home.

Mom, uh, Tess hasn't
been here all week.

Oh, really?
Well, that was easy.

You, too, Levi. You need to
go to bed... too... Levi? Levi?

Levi:
I'm in my room!

What? He is super
quick these days. Right?

Hey, mom, you do realize
we're 15 years old now, right?

Mm. Yeah, I was there.
I know.

So don't you think should
be able to stay up later?

I mean, I might be crossing
a line here, but maybe even...

Maybe even nine o'clock?



You know what? Why don't
you think about it like this?

- Okay.
- It's nine o'clock somewhere.

- Okay.
- Okay.

And, uh, what's the magic rule?

Both: No screens
for sleeping teens.

Unless them teens want them
screens smashed to smithereens.

- (laughing)
- Right.

You hear that, Levi?
No screens...

- For sleeping teens.
- Whoa!

You are freakishly fast, honey!

You know,
you get that from me.

We used to call your dad
slothy the slowman. (Laughs)

- Good night, mom.
- Good night, honey.

Not what
I used to call him.

But slothy
the slowman works.

- Okay.
- Okay, now, I'm gonna check on the kids,

- and you grab the package.
- (both squealing)

- Both: Shh!
- We gotta keep it down, rae.

I think Levi's,
like, part ninja.

Episode Title: "The Slumber Years"
Aired on: April 23, 2021

All righty, time to watch an
old episode of the greatest show

about time traveling
vampires ever!

Oh, no! Flicksweb is removing
"fang time" tonight at midnight!

We can't have
our screens, anyway.

You heard our moms, right?

I know you did,
because they aren't quiet.

(knocking on door)

Well, well, well, well.

Looky here.

Booker's asleep.

Phone!

- (huffs)
- Um-hmm.

You can have it back
in the morning.

- I understand, mom.
- No, don't argue with me, boy.

- I was actually just agreeing with you.
- Oh, well...

Don't agree with me until...
Until I'm ready.

Clearly you learned your lesson.

Dude, I only have a few hours to
watch as many episodes as possible.

You can watch 'em with me.

It could be like old times.

I can't, Booker.
I need to sleep.

Okay.

Could you turn down
your brightness?

It looks like you're
holding the sun.

How 'bout this?

(knocking on door)

Just saying good night.

And making sure
I wasn't texting?

No.

Yes, but in my defense,
your brother is Booker.

- Mom, you can trust me.
- (phone dings)

It's not a text.
It's just an alert.

Right? I get notified every time
Tess updates her social media.

It's usually just
a picture of Ramon

eating spaghetti,
or Ramon washing the shirt

that he spilled spaghetti on.

Yeah, just a lot
of spaghetti and Ramon.

Well, you and Tess
are around that age

where boys become
a big part of your life.

Yeah, you got a lot of pictures
of that, um... (clears throat)

Wyatt dude.

You can say boyfriend.

Nah, I'm not gonna do that.

All right, well, I'll trust
you'll turn off that phone.

Of course, mom. Who
do you think I am? Booker?

- (both laugh)
- oh, girl.

(door closes)

- (sighs)
- (phone dings)

(clears throat)

"Tomorrow's our
one-month anniversary."

Aw, he remembered!
(laughs)

Keeper.

"We should stay up until
midnight to celebrate"?

(sighs) Aw.

Ugh. No. No.
No, Nia. You can't.

"Sorry, but no phones at bedtime.
I will see you tomorrow."

Crying face, crying face.
Poop.

(sighs)

(exhales)

No... No. Nia...

I'm in complete control,
here, all right?

(sighs)

Yep, I'm weak. I'm weak,
and I'm completely fine with it.

Um, "forget what I said.
I will call you in a minute."

Smiling emoji, smiling emoji.
Rainbow.

Now, where do I go?

Yes. Perfect.

What am I?
A badger?

Pfft. I gotta find
a better place.

And it's probably
not in this room.

[♪]

(quietly):
The eagles have nested.

I repeat, the eagles
have nested.

Has the package been collected?

Shh! Yes!

Yes! I hear the words
that you are saying.

The canister has been collected

by my hands,
and put here...

I'm so sorry. Why are we speaking
in code? The kids are in bed.

- Good point. (Giggling)
- I know!

It's time...

To indulge
in the one parental joy

- we have left.
- Yes.

(gasps, squeals)

This oatmeal container's
filled with oatmeal.

I know, rae.
I left the oats in this time,

you know, in order to hide the
delicious fragrance of the chocolat.

I don't think the kids can smell
chocolat through the canister.

You're right, rae.
They can't.

Not when they're covered in
oats and hidden in the chimney.

- Yeah?
- (both laughing)

- Yeah, I-let's just eat. Okay.
- Yeah. Okay.

I like the ones on the bottom.
They're melted.

Oh, you can smell it.
You can smell it.

- Let's smell it first. Savor it. Savor it.
- Oh, yeah. Obviously.

- Savor it.
- Oh, yeah...

Booker: Lance, guard
the neck. Guard the neck!

- (music plays on TV show)
- (yawns)

Aah!

Oh, good. Well,
since you're awake,

might as well watch some
"fang time" with me.

Because you're too scared
to watch alone?

If I say yes,
will you watch it with me?

Booker, we already watched
every episode of "fang time."

I know, but, but. We
were so young. So naive.

Plus, there's all this
history in each episode

that we didn't even catch
the first time.

I'd love to watch, but this test
tomorrow is a little different.

(whooshing)

Thanks, Booker.
That show actually saved me.

Levi, I just had a vision.

You have to watch
"fang time" with me.

- I have to?
- Yes, and you have to now.

This is gonna change your life.

(sighs) fine.

- But only one episode.
- Okay.

Wait. Are you fake-visioning
me just so I'll watch?

Like I'd think of something
that complex.

Who am I? Nia?

[♪]

TV narrator (over tablet): And
so the pied Piper played his flute...

And let hundreds
of walking meals ride up

to the doorstep of vampire
central, transylvania.

Best. Show. Ever.

Man, I'd forgotten
how good "fang time" is.

And I did miss some things
the first time we watched.

The real reason world
war I started? Vampires!

All right, Levi, let's watch the
next episode... - all right, off to bed.

Levi!

We're never gonna see my vision come
true if we don't watch more episodes.

Stop trying to put
your vision in television.

First of all, it's a tablet.

Second of all, what if I make
things a little more interesting?

More interesting how?

Snacks. I'm gonna sneak in the
kitchen and grab some goodies.

Goodies?
What kind of goodies?

Uh, cookies?

Butterscotches.
And, and, and candies!

Yeah, um, hard candies.

Soft candies. Chewy candies.
I'll get all the candies.

All right. I'm in.
One more episode.

- But that's it.
- Okay, cool.

Hey, don't get caught.
And, uh...

Double up on the soft candies.

All right, double up
on the soft candies.

Ah, the kids are in bed.
We've got our fancy chocolat.

(laughs) - can life get
any better than this, right?

No. No, it can't. But we
have to be careful, chels.

If the kids find our stash,

they'll ravage
through it like

- a pack of wolves.
- Right.

Take the one joy we have left.

- Whatcha doin'?
- (shrieks)

Oh, okay.
You guys are reading.

Aunt chels, is that book
better upside down?

Mm-hmm.

And, uh, mom? How is, uh,
how is "sixth grade science"?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

You know, it's crazy. It kind of sounds
like you guys are eating something.

And maybe that
something is... maybe it's...

Oatmeal! You guys
are eating oatmeal.

- What are you doing out of bed?
- Mm-hmm?

Oh, me? I just, I'm just,
I'm just thirsty.

What are you guys up to?

Oh, well, we're up
to...

- Up to adult things.
- (clears throat)

- like eating, uh, eating oatmeal.
- Mm-hmm.

But straight
from the container?

With no milk,
no water, just...

See? See what I'm saying?
See? That's how we were raised.

Yeah.

Back in our day, you know,

we didn't have that fancy
milk or water stuff.

(clears throat) - wh-why don't
you show me how you used to eat it?

Oh! You know what?

I think Chelsea
can do that for you.

- Oh! Oh, really?
- Yeah.

Oh, sweet Raven. You are such
a sweet, dear friend, aren't you?

- Well, you know how I am.
- Yeah, I do.

A friend. A real good friend
that I share everything with,

- like this oatmeal.
- (exclaims) oh, oh!

- Was it too much? No.
- Oh, no.

Now, girl, you know I used
to eat this when I was a kid.

Let's, let's...
Ooh, oatmeal time!

Mm, oatmeal time!

- Both: Mm!
- I'm gonna get some more here!

- (muffled): So good. It's so good.
- (mumbling)

Hard pass! I'm just gonna just
grab some of that fancy milk.

(muffled laughter)

- Uck!
- Make sure you close the door.

We got adult stuff
going on in here!

Both:
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- Ugh.
- Do you think Booker suspected anything?

Well, you were reading
a book upside down,

so, yes. Yes, I do.

I'm sorry.
Looks like we're busted.

Maybe we should save this
for another night.

No, chels, we are eating
our candy tonight,

and then you know what
we're gonna do?

- What?
- We're gonna open another bag,

if we choose.

- Really?
- Because we are grown women.

- Yeah.
- This is our household.

- Yeah! Yeah.
- Right.

Great, so grab this candy. We'll go
eat it in secret in our own bedroom.

(both muttering)

- Okay.
- Okay, why am I going that way?

- Are they gone?
- Ooh!

What are you doing here?

I thought I could come out here
and then call Wyatt,

but aunt chels
was in the living room.

Yeah, I spent the last 40
minutes trapped in this kitchen

while mom and aunt chels
eat that disgusting chocolate

they think
any of us would want.

Okay, but they can never know
we know about their chocolate.

Or chocolat. All right? Because
we're only free to do what we want

when they're focused on that.

Also, why are you so
desperate to call Wyatt?

Tonight marks our
one-month anniversary.

Wait, why are you grabbing
a million snacks?

Because I have to keep Levi
sugared up for our favorite show.

Also, month-aversaries...

Aren't a thing.

Well, um, if my math is correct,

that's about 30 days longer than any
of your relationships have ever lasted.

Yeah, well... Well, I...

No. No, take your time, book,
'cause I can wait.

I got a comeback. I just
don't wanna hurt your feelings.

Then help my feelings.

Give me a place to call
where I don't get my phone

smashed to smithereens.

- Just try the roof.
- Yes!

Yes, you're a genius, Booker!

Man, I knew we kept you
around for something.

[♪♪]

Ooh!

You're fine. Nia, you're
just hearing things.

Tess!

Uh-oh! Someone's got the
"I just snuck out" jitters.

- Tess, will you please keep it quiet?
- Yo, Nia, relax.

It's the middle of the night.

There's no one but bats
and rats up here.

- Then what are you doing up here?
- I came up to chat with Ramon.

- You?
- Same.

- But with Wyatt. Not Ramon.
- Oh. Gotcha.

That's cool.

I saw Ramon's spaghetti stain
that looked like a puppy.

- Boyfriends, right?
- I know, they just...

They take up so much
of our time.

I'm just gonna
go do my thing.

Yeah, no, you do
your thing. I'll do mine.

- All right, yeah.
- I'm over here, by the way.

- I'm here. Have fun.
- Okay.

(distant chattering)

Tess, please tell me
those bats and rats

sound exactly like
mom and aunt chels.

It's Ms. B and Ms. G!

- They're coming!
- Okay, uh, quick. Hide! Here. Yeah.

[♪]

Chelsea: I know,
I said I would...

I know, but shh! Keep your
voice down. We're spying.

We're spying.
Ooh, yeah, listen.

Right here. Okay.

- Package is at 12 o'clock.
- Okay.

All right? You're on
retrieval. I'm on point.

- One, two, break!
- Rae. Listen.

I told you I don't speak spy.
I thought we established that.

Oh, chels.

Fine. I hid the candy
underneath the potted plant.

Okay. Why didn't
you just say that?

It's not like
anyone can hear us.

- (gasps)
- Aha!

- Peruvian chocolat.
- Yes!

Always bringin' the ka-kow!

(door opens)

(door closes) - whew! What's
up with all those chocolates?

I don't know. Mom and aunt
chels have this whole ritual thing

where they sneak around
eating fancy chocolate,

and they think
we don't know about it.

- (laughs) is it all that?
- No, no. It tastes like salted dirt.

- Oh, man. Adults like really weird things.
- Yeah. (Laughs)

Whew. I haven't been
up this late since...

That last sleepover.

Yeah. Yeah, then
everybody else fell asleep

but we stayed up together
talking all night.

Yeah. Oh, and then
we did those mud masks.

Ugh.

Yeah, and I couldn't
get mine off.

- I couldn't get mine on.
- (both laugh)

- Yeah, that was so funny.
- Yeah.

Wow, I haven't thought
about that in, like, forever.

- Me, neither.
- (phone rings)

Tell Ramon I say hello.

All right.

(phone rings)

So my man goes to king tut,

gets permission to suck
the blood from a mummy,

gets back to the present,

and gives that blood to his
sister for a transfusion?

The writing in this show
is pure genius.

Wow. You were right.

I did not get that
the first time we watched.

I guess we are getting
older and wiser.

- (belches)
- okay. Older and grosser.

(yawns) how many
episodes have we watched?

- Three?
- Seven.

What? Seven episodes?
What time is it?

- Almost midnight.
- What?

Booker, you sugar-fied me, and
now I won't get a full night's rest.

I just wanted us
to watch together.

You know,
chill like we used to.

Seems like every time
we try to hang nowadays,

you always have some test
to study for or something.

Excuse me for caring
about my grades.

Bro, it just feels like...
Feels we're drifting apart.

And that's my fault? You're
the one who left me behind.

- Remember?
- Well, it's not really my fault.

- It's just kind of how school works.
- I know.

If I could fall asleep
in the next ten minutes,

I'll still have 85 percent of
my mental capacity for the test.

Levi, you never get
this nervous about tests.

Not even final exams.
Spill it.

(sighs) I'm taking an
advanced history test.

Oh, wow. And...

And if I can ace it,

they're gonna place me in
the ninth grade history class.

Oh, awesome.
I'm in ninth grade history.

Wait. You're gonna be
in my history class!

With me! Yo, why wouldn't
you tell me about this?

Because this test
is extremely hard.

I don't want to get my hopes up
too high in case I don't ace it.

I get that.

But, I mean, it's funny, though.

I kept you up all night watching this
show so I could hang out with you,

and you've just been
trying to go to sleep

so you can hang out
with me in history class.

Maybe we've both been missing
each other and not admitting it.

Sleep tight, little bro.

Hey, so, am I
the only one that saw

ia-nay and, uh, ess-tay
on the old oof-ray?

- Is that the closest thing to spy speak you have?
- Yeah, rae.

It is, and you don't have
to make me feel bad about it.

Sorry, sorry. But to
answer your question, no.

You weren't the only one
to see Nia and Tess on the roof.

Oh, really? Are you gonna
go back there, rae? Huh?

Is Nia gonna... is she gonna
(imitating Raven) "get it"?

I haven't decided yet.

Do you remember that time
you came to camp with me,

and we got in that fight,

but then we ended up
making up and, uh,

watching the stars all night?

Yes. That's when
my dad got so mad

- 'cause I didn't come home with my boots?
- Yes.

Yes! He was like, uh, "girl,
you better explain yourself."

(both laugh) - it's so hard to explain
a skunk having a crush on your boots.

(laughs)

Yeah, but it's nights like that
I look on most fondly.

Kind of like tonight.

What are you saying, chels? I
should let Nia get away with it?

Yeah, rae.
I think you should.

Yeah, you're right.

Nia's getting a
little too old to "get it."

Yeah.

But Booker,
on the other hand...

What? They're twins.
Aren't they the same age?

Only on paper.

- Only on paper.
- True.

[♪♪]

No, no. That is not
how it happened.

No. You called me "wow,"
like it was my name,

and then you started blabbering
because you were too nervous, remember?

Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Just call me back. Okay.

Ugh. Ramon almost got caught.

- He's gonna call me back.
- Same with Wyatt.

Hey, uh, Tess, I want to
talk to you about something.

And it's really important to
me because I... - (phone rings)

- Are you gonna get that?
- (phone rings)

- No. No, I need to get this out.
- Okay.

And I don't want to make
it sound like it's just you,

because believe me,
it's me, too,

but I feel like we haven't
really... - (phone rings)

You gonna get that?

- We need to hang more.
- Yes!

- Yeah.
- Yes, that's exactly what I was gonna say,

except yours was just shorter,
and way more to the point.

I've been with Ramon,
like, a ton lately.

- Yeah, and I've been with Wyatt.
- Which is great. But...

I miss this.

- I miss us.
- Me, too.

Okay, so we are gonna
make a commitment

to have weekly
boyfriend-less us time,

right here on this roof.

I'm down!
Besties before boyfriend time.

Besties before boyfriend time.
(laughs)

[♪♪]

Booker, you're gonna
wear a hole in my good rug,

and then all we're
gonna see is the dust

you sweep underneath it.

This is our good rug?

Mom, it's just that Levi
had this really big test today,

and I need to know
how we did.

What? No, no, mom.

Actually, uh,
what happened was,

I was in my room, right?
And, um...

It's a really great time
to braid some hair.

Hey, honey.
How'd your test go?

Test? Oh! Sorry, that
seems like ancient history.

And I should know,
since I'm now officially

in Booker's ninth grade
history class!

Oh, yeah!
Yeah, you are!

You know, I believe you get those
history skills from your great-grandmother.

- Why? Is she a historian?
- No.

- She's old. She's old.
- (laughing)

Ievi, I am so happy for you!

And it has nothing to do with the guilt I
feel over making you binge-watch our show.

It's weird, but a lot
of the test questions

were straight from
the episodes we watched.

So, thanks, Booker.
That show actually saved me.

And that was my vision.

And, hey, maybe we could
binge a new show tonight.

My mom said she would
boil my phone.

She didn't say anything about
that tablet, though!

Come on! Come on!

Kids, we have brought you here
for something special.

Actually, very special.

Maybe even too special... I
can't do this, Raven. I can't.

Stay strong.
We talked about this.

All right. Deep within the
hearty oats of this canister

lies nature's truest gift.

Rich, dark, chocolat.

That's right, kids.

We've discussed it, and you guys
are pretty much young adults now.

So, you're actually gonna call
my boyfriend "my boyfriend"?

No.

Aunt chels and have decided

it's time to share
something special with you.

Well, one of us
thought it was time.

It was Raven.
She thought it was time.

I voted no.

All right, kids.
You've earned this moment.

Now, relish in it.

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

Why would they make this?

Why would anyone make this?
Oh, man...

Mm. It's so good.

Hate to break it to you, Nia, but you
do not have a future in fake chewing.

- I didn't ask for this, okay?
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Bring out the real chocolate, chels!
- Yeah!

(both laughing)

[♪♪]
