Raven's Home (2017–…): Season 5, Episode 4 - A Streetcar Named Conspire - full transcript
Yes. Yes, Nia.
I've been thinking about
your first day of school outfit,
and I think you should wear...
Oh, you already picked out a top.
Without me.
And without straps.
Hey, Mom. Have you
seen my left shoe?
I know what you're gonna say,
where did I have it last?
It was on my foot.
Problem is, it's not there now.
Thanks.
Has your father
seen that outfit?
Oh, and he's gonna
let you wear it? Okay.
[sniffs] We'll see about that.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, honey. I'm sorry.
I don't know why
your dad changed his mind.
- Have you seen my phone?
- It's in your shoe.
Oh, yeah, thanks.
Yeah. Nia, in a couple days,
Booker's going to be your dad's
problem.
- Hey, Mom. Have you seen...
- [yells] Whatever it is, find it yourself!
[sighs] Of course I'm
gonna miss you both.
But it'll be nice to be able to
focus on your grandpa
without your brother asking me
to find things for him. [Giggles]
Trying to make me laugh
with his bad jokes
or give me kiss before he goes
to bed at night.
Hey, Mom.
I couldn't find my
toothbrush
so I'm just gonna use
yours.
I'm gonna miss you so much,
Booker.
Okay? I'm
gonna miss you so much!
And you can keep
the toothbrush. [Crying]

[grunts]
Hey, Booker. Listen, um,
I was just thinking about you
heading back to Chicago.
Yeah, I can't wait to get back.
Nia said this year the school
cafeteria's getting spicy pizza rolls.
Oh.
Well, I mean, there has to be,
you know, some things here that
you're gonna miss,
or... someone.
You're right.
Ivy and Neil are pretty cool.
I'm gonna miss them.
You just met them a couple weeks ago.
You'll get over it.
All right, well
guess there's
nothing left to say.
Oh, wait! Mom, there
is something else.
Yes, I knew it.
Baby, I feel the same way. I really do!
- Listen. If it's too hard for you, I'll...
- It is.
No. I thought I could do it,
but I just can't.
[sighs]
This hockey stick
just will not fit in this bag.
Can you ship it home for me?
[Victor imitates train whistle]
Alice, Alice, Alice.
Today is your lucky day
because you and Pop-Pop
are going to the model train store.
Why?
What did I do?
The doctor wants me to work on
lowering my stress levels,
so I've decided to devote more
time to my passion for model trains.
All aboard!
I'm already bored.
Come on. Put your shoes on.
Stupid hockey stick.
Gonna miss you
more than he's gonna miss me.
Everything okay, Raven?
Everything's fine, Daddy.
Everything's fine.
[stick creaking]
Really? 'Cause
you seem agitated.
Why would I be agitated?
Huh? Why?
Because I'm gonna miss my son?
Because he's not gonna miss me?
Because he wants to go to
Chicago, but I want him to stay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Watch the stick.
I paid good money for these teeth.
Raven, look. If you want Booker
to stay, just tell him he has to stay.
No, Dad. I don't want him to
stay because I want him to stay.
I want him to stay
because he wants to stay.
I want him to want
to want to stay.
- What?
- I don't know.
I-I don't know, but
I can't say it again.
You want Booker to stay,
you need to make him think it's his idea.
No. No, no, no.
Tricking your son is a bad idea.
Almost as bad of an idea as
taking advice from a nine -year-old.
[squealing] What are
you talking about?
I'm not gonna take advice from
[wheezing] a nine-year-old.
[laughing] That's crazy.
But if I did, what
would she say?
Take him around town.
Show him a great time.
Make him think every day here
is gonna be like that.
Then he'll wanna stay.
And he'll think it's his idea.
Watch and learn.
- Ready to go to the train store, Pop-Pop.
- Great, let's do this.
Oh! I just remembered, the train
store is right next to the pet store.
And they're having
a huge snake sale.
Snakes?
You know what?
I changed my mind.
I'm going to the store by
myself.
Wow.
Wow.
You're good. [Laughs]
But if you do that to me,
we're gonna have some words.
Pretty great San Francisco
morning, eh, Booker?
The beautiful sights,
the souvenirs,
the hilarious
stories of me, Eddie,
and Chelsea growing
up here. [Laughs]
- Time flies.
- Not today.
So I'm gonna get us some food.
Why don't you grab us a table?
Whoa! Dino flops.
Fortune cookie headphones.
"Fog in a Can"!
Okay, someone's doing
San Francisco right.
All right.
I don't know what's happening.
My mom is dragging me
to all these places
where her and her friends
used to "kick it."
There's still 20 more
stops left to go.
Too bad. I was looking forward
to us hanging out
at the Frisco Music Fest.
Some people call it
"San Franciscochella."
- Only you call it that, Neil.
- Call it what?
- San Franciscochella.
- Now you call it that, too.
Hey, can I borrow your ketchup?
Yeah, that's not
what I asked for.
- Here you go.
- Thanks, Neil.
Um, who... who...
Who... who was that?
- That's Cami. We go to school with her.
- Is she going to San Franciscochella?
Ah! See? It's catching on.
Just answer the question, Ivy.
Booker, don't even think about it.
She only dates the coolest guys.
And girls.
I don't like to use labels,
but they have a name for people like that.
Popular.
Well, back in Chi town,
I was the man.
Wasn't nobody cooler than me.
Now, hold my dolphin.
Hey, I, um
I thought I'd come over here
so we could "ketchup."
Did you think of
that all by yourself?
I think of a lot of
things all by myself.
Like right now, I'm thinking
that, uh, maybe we should hang out.
[giggles] Is that
what you think?
Yep. All by myself.
Well, I'm going to the concert.
Maybe I'll see you there.
Oh, you'll definitely see me,
'cause, uh, that's where I'm gonna be.
[squealing]
Guess who's hanging
with Cami at the concert this afternoon?
It's me. I'm hanging with Cami
at the concert this afternoon.
Wait, I thought you had to hang
out with your mom?
Ivy, I don't have to do
anything. All right?
- I'm a grown man.
- Hey, Booker. Come on.
- Your chicken ten dies are getting cold.
- Coming, Mommy.
You are going to love Pier 39.
Did you know that it's made from
the wood of other piers?
Interesting, huh?
Wow.
I mean, wow!
That's... That's cool.
I gotta tell Ivy
and Neil about it.
Oh, they're gonna love it.
They're gonna love it.
Oh, they're gonna go crazy.
[chuckles]
You guys, she's killing me.
What am I gonna do?
I told Cami I'd meet
her at the concert
but my mom
has a whole boring afternoon planned.
Well, just tell
your mom the truth.
What?
That I'd rather spend my last
day in town with a girl I just met,
than the woman who gave me life?
Ouch.
That hurt my feelings.
Is there anything
that annoys your mom?
If you get on her nerves,
maybe she won't wanna hang out.
- No, that won't work.
- How do you know?
- Because I know.
- Because I know.
- Stop it, Ivy. I mean it!
- Stop it, Ivy. I mean it!
- If you're gonna keep doing this,
- If you're gonna keep doing this,
- I don't want to hang out with you!
- I don't want to hang out with you!
[grunts]
Three, two
Wow, you're good.
Yes, you are.
Oh, Mother?
Okay, Tasha.
The hot tub will go over there.
The nail salon will go here.
And the swimming pool
Hey!
You just put that box of junk
in my swimming pool!
Junk?
I will have you know
that this is an HO Scale,
Grand view Limited,
Thompson Classic Liner
in the 1940s paint scheme.
Oh. That's some
very specific junk.
Well, since Booker's leaving,
I figure this will be the perfect place
to set up the model train room
of my dreams.
But I have plans to turn this
into a vacation resort for my dolls.
Uh, who pays the
mortgage around here?
I don't know. I'm nine.
Sorry, Alice.
This is gonna be my model train room.
You know what? You're right.
I was being selfish.
How about I help you
set up your trains?
Oh, I'd love that.
Let me get some more boxes.
[imitates train whistle]
[imitates train
whistle, chuckles]
Don't cancel your pedicure just
yet, Tasha.
[burping] W.
X.
Y.
[in normal voice] And [inhales]
[burping] Z.
Booker.
Oh, I'm sorry,
was that... was that annoying?
No, it was cute. For an
[burping] amateur.
Now hurry up and
finish your food, okay?
Pier 39 is calling our names!
[both whispering] Annoy her.
Hey, Mom. Have you
seen my right shoe?
- How'd you lose your shoe?
- I know! I'm so annoying.
No. No, no, no. You're fine.
Here, just put on your dino flops.
Come on. Let's go!
Wait, um, um, you're not gonna
leave those fries, are ya? [Chuckles]
- I'll help you finish 'em.
- What? Oh! Oh!
Booker, stop! Stop! Stop!
Look what you've done!
I can't go out like this.
I'm sorry, Mom. I...
I guess we'll have to cancel our
plans.
No. No.
Mm-mm-mmm.
No, I'm not gonna let a little
stain ruin our special day.
It's okay. I'm just gonna throw together
a hot look from the lost and found.
See, I told you it would work.
You were annoying me
from across the room.
It didn't work.
She still wants to hang out.
I'm just too lovable.
Well, tough luck, Booker.
But we're here for you.
[phone buzzing]
Huh.
Oh, I got a text from Ivy.
"Concert starts in 20. Gotta ditch Booker.
Don't read this out loud."
Oh.
I really should have put
that last part first.
You think?
Sorry, Booker. We gotta go.
See ya.
So what do you think?
It's cool.
Cool?
Just cool?
I will have you know that
this is a 1:87 scale model
of San Francisco.
I even have the guy at the BART
station that tells you to "suck eggs."
Sorry.
I was just looking at these cool
pictures in Model Train Monthly
Have you ever heard
of Choo-Choo Rodriguez?
His train room is
pretty impressive.
Choo-Choo Rodriguez is a hack.
I should be in that magazine.
You totally should.
But you'd have to do something
more exciting than San Francisco.
Something exotic.
Like an island?
[gasps]
An island!
That's a great idea!
If you do that,
I bet those magazine people
would do a feature on "Boxcar Baxter."
Boxcar Baxter.
I like the sound of that.
[snaps fingers] Let's do it.
You're going down, Choo-Choo!
We're gonna kick your caboose.
That's train for "butt."
[grunts] I'm just gonna say it.
I'm just gonna say it, okay?
They got some bougie lost and
founds in San Francisco.
I look better than
when I left the house.
- You look fine.
- Yes. I do.
Pier 39, here we come!
[yelling] All aboard!
Excuse me. Hi. I'm trying to get
my son to fall in love with the
city.
Do you think you can throw in
some fun stories
- about how great it is to grow up here?
- Oh. [Laughs]
I'm from Albuquerque.
Oh, uh, well, hey, here's $20.
Name's Frisco Fred.
Born and raised
in San Francisco.
Which is why they
call me Frisco Phil.
[quietly] Listen.
Excuse me, you just said "Frisco Fred."
Well, that's what
you get for 20 bucks.
- [bell rings]
- [gasps] Here we go, here we go!
Yay! [Laughs]
Look. You, me, a cable car.
Oh! What could be better than that?
Hanging with the
girl of my dreams.
The girl of your dre...
[squealing] Oh,
baby. I love you too.
So, what do you think?
This good enough
to beat Choo-Choo?
I dunno. Buildings
seem a little tiny.
Well, I could build
a bigger train depot.
-Eh
-And a hotel?
Eh
An entire resort with private
villas, a shopping plaza and a... day spa?
Now you're thinking
outside the boxcar.
Oh, man. Now I'm
making train jokes.
Here we are. Golden Gate Park.
[chattering]
Hey. Where's everybody going?
Uh, there's a huge concert.
A concert? Now that sounds like
fun. Doesn't it, Mom?
Uh-uh-uh, no.
We're not going to no stinking concert.
We're gonna have a great time at
the pier like I used to with my friends.
Oh, you're missing out.
I met the love of my life at
that concert.
Unfortunately, he
met my brother.
They have two lovely kids
and live in Albuquerque.
Where I'm not from.
Love of your life, huh?
Uh, excuse me,
Frisco Phil... Fred,
could you do less personal
information, a little more Pier
39, and step on it.
It's a lever, ma'am.
Then pull on it.
Booker, what are you doing?
Yeah, passengers aren't supposed
to touch the lever.
I don't wanna go to Pier 39.
No, no, no. You're going to Pier 39.
You're gonna love it.
- I wanna go to that concert!
- You can go to a concert anywhere.
Booker, I need you to see what's great
about San Francisco!
[grunting]
Maybe you could talk
without touching the lever?
You're going to stay with me.
I'm going.
You're staying!
- I'm going.
- You are staying!
Oh, snap!
This is why you don't
touch the lever.
[all screaming]
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
Look what you did!
- Me? You pushed it!
- You pulled it!
Neither of you were
supposed to touch it!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[Alice] We're out of control! Oh
no! Watch out, guy in red
jacket!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[honking continues]
[Alice] We're headed straight
for the fish market!
Look out for the octopus!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[Raven] Get it off! Get it off!
Get it off! [Whimpering]
That's for fish
slapping your momma.
- [honking continues]
- [whimpers, screams]
[all screaming]
- [metal crunches]
- [glass shatters]
Wow. These things break easy.
- [Booker whimpering]
- [brakes squeal]
- We stopped?
- It's a miracle.
Actually, it was
the emergency brake.
I looked it up on my phone.
- You okay?
- Yeah, you?
Well, you know,
I may need to change my pants again.
Booker, this is crazy.
I can't make you be somewhere
you don't wanna be.
I know, Mom. But it's just
All day you kept talking about
how much fun you and your friends had,
and all my friends
are at that concert.
I get it. If you wanna go, just
go. But, Booker. Booker?
- [footsteps retreating]
- Oh, gone.
Left as soon as you
said the word "go."
I don't think he
even heard the "o."
Alice, can you come up here?
What is my doll doing there?
You made a doll resort? For me?
All this time,
I thought you were building a train room
when you were
actually making this?
I know.
It's almost like you made me
think that it was [gasps]
my idea.
Busted.
Yeah. You didn't think I knew
what you were up to, did you?
If you knew, why'd you do it?
Well, you've been away from your
folks for a while,
and I know you want a little
space of your own
but you don't have
to trick people to get it.
We don't do that in this family.
What about Auntie Rae?
Yeah, she's a work in progress.
Thank you, Pop-Pop. I love you.
Aw. I love you too.
Did you really know
I was tricking you?
You'll never know.
[imitates train whistle]
He's good, Tasha.
He is very good.
Yeah, that concert was dope!
You didn't see any of it.
But I caught the
vibe, and it was dope.
Hey, Neil. Where'd you go?
I was in the parking lot,
selling these bad boys.
San Franciscochella.
Did people actually buy those?
Well, one person did.
Not gonna lie
The name grows on you.
So, did you meet up with Cami?
Nah.
I mean, it's cool.
At least we got to hang out.
You guys make San Francisco fun.
I kinda wish I wasn't
leaving tomorrow.
Why don't you stay?
[scoffs] Oh, Neil. I can't stay.
Wait, can I stay?
Why not? I know Alice and your
grandfather really like having you around.
- Yeah, and you can go to school with us.
- Yeah.
I guess I could keep
helping my mom out,
but I can't just leave my whole
life in Chicago.
[whooshing]
[echoing] I'm really glad
that you brought me to this dance.
[whooshing]
I gotta go!
Yeah, I just...
I just feel like you're the only one
in this house
who truly understands how I feel.
Did you tell Booker
you want him to stay?
What do you think?
I'm talking to a hockey stick.
I guess I just have to accept
the fact that he's
- He's going back to Chicago.
- [door opens]
Mom, I thought about it
and I want to stay here in San Francisco.
[screaming] Yes! I knew it!
Nia's got her own thing going on
in Chicago.
And I've made friends here.
And I like helping out.
And I would miss you.
[shuddering breaths]
I mean, yeah. If
that's what you want.
- I do. I really do.
- Yes! [Screams]
This makes me so happy! Okay,
I'm gonna unpack your bags right now.
- Okay.
- [laughs]
[sighs]
You met a girl, didn't you?
[scoffs] No.
I met the girl.
Hey, I, um... I feel bad
that you're gonna lose your doll resort
now that this is
gonna be my room.
It's okay.
- You're not mad at me?
- No.
But Tasha might be.
Wait, what?
I'd sleep with one eye
open if I were you.
Good night!
[grunts]
[giggling]
[screams]
Momma! I'm sleeping
with you tonight!
I've been thinking about
your first day of school outfit,
and I think you should wear...
Oh, you already picked out a top.
Without me.
And without straps.
Hey, Mom. Have you
seen my left shoe?
I know what you're gonna say,

Oh, and he's gonna

[sniffs] We'll see about that.
- Hey, Mom.
- Hey, honey. I'm sorry.
I don't know why
your dad changed his mind.
- Have you seen my phone?
- It's in your shoe.
Oh, yeah, thanks.
Yeah. Nia, in a couple days,
Booker's going to be your dad's
problem.
- Hey, Mom. Have you seen...
- [yells] Whatever it is, find it yourself!
[sighs] Of course I'm
gonna miss you both.
But it'll be nice to be able to

All right.
I don't know what's happening.
My mom is dragging me
to all these places
where her and her friends
used to "kick it."
There's still 20 more
stops left to go.
Too bad. I was looking forward
to us hanging out
at the Frisco Music Fest.
Some people call it
"San Franciscochella."
- Only you call it that, Neil.
- Call it what?
- San Franciscochella.
- Now you call it that, too.
Hey, can I borrow your ketchup?
Yeah, that's not
what I asked for.
- Here you go.
- Thanks, Neil.
Um, who... who...
Who... who was that?
- That's Cami. We go to school with her.
- Is she going to San Franciscochella?
Ah! See? It's catching on.
Just answer the question, Ivy.
Booker, don't even think about it.
She only dates the coolest guys.
And girls.
I don't like to use labels,
but they have a name for people like that.
Popular.
Well, back in Chi town,
I was the man.
Wasn't nobody cooler than me.
Now, hold my dolphin.
Hey, I, um
I thought I'd come over here
so we could "ketchup."
Did you think of
that all by yourself?
I think of a lot of
things all by myself.
Like right now, I'm thinking
that, uh, maybe we should hang out.
[giggles] Is that
what you think?
Yep. All by myself.
Well, I'm going to the concert.
Maybe I'll see you there.
Oh, you'll definitely see me,
'cause, uh, that's where I'm gonna be.
[squealing]
Guess who's hanging
with Cami at the concert this afternoon?
It's me. I'm hanging with Cami
at the concert this afternoon.
Wait, I thought you had to hang
out with your mom?
Ivy, I don't have to do
anything. All right?
- I'm a grown man.
- Hey, Booker. Come on.
- Your chicken ten dies are getting cold.
- Coming, Mommy.
You are going to love Pier 39.
Did you know that it's made from
the wood of other piers?
Interesting, huh?
Wow.
I mean, wow!
That's... That's cool.
I gotta tell Ivy
and Neil about it.
Oh, they're gonna love it.
They're gonna love it.
Oh, they're gonna go crazy.
[chuckles]
You guys, she's killing me.
What am I gonna do?
I told Cami I'd meet
her at the concert
but my mom
has a whole boring afternoon planned.
Well, just tell
your mom the truth.
What?
That I'd rather spend my last
day in town with a girl I just met,
than the woman who gave me life?
Ouch.
That hurt my feelings.
Is there anything
that annoys your mom?
If you get on her nerves,
maybe she won't wanna hang out.
- No, that won't work.
- How do you know?
- Because I know.
- Because I know.
- Stop it, Ivy. I mean it!
- Stop it, Ivy. I mean it!
- If you're gonna keep doing this,
- If you're gonna keep doing this,
- I don't want to hang out with you!
- I don't want to hang out with you!
[grunts]
Three, two
Wow, you're good.
Yes, you are.
Oh, Mother?
Okay, Tasha.
The hot tub will go over there.
The nail salon will go here.
And the swimming pool
Hey!
You just put that box of junk
in my swimming pool!
Junk?
I will have you know
that this is an HO Scale,
Grand view Limited,
Thompson Classic Liner
in the 1940s paint scheme.
Oh. That's some
very specific junk.
Well, since Booker's leaving,
I figure this will be the perfect place
to set up the model train room
of my dreams.
But I have plans to turn this
into a vacation resort for my dolls.
Uh, who pays the
mortgage around here?
I don't know. I'm nine.
Sorry, Alice.
This is gonna be my model train room.
You know what? You're right.
I was being selfish.
How about I help you
set up your trains?
Oh, I'd love that.
Let me get some more boxes.
[imitates train whistle]
[imitates train
whistle, chuckles]
Don't cancel your pedicure just
yet, Tasha.
[burping] W.
X.
Y.
[in normal voice] And [inhales]
[burping] Z.
Booker.
Oh, I'm sorry,
was that... was that annoying?
No, it was cute. For an
[burping] amateur.
Now hurry up and
finish your food, okay?
Pier 39 is calling our names!
[both whispering] Annoy her.
Hey, Mom. Have you
seen my right shoe?
- How'd you lose your shoe?
- I know! I'm so annoying.
No. No, no, no. You're fine.
Here, just put on your dino flops.
Come on. Let's go!
Wait, um, um, you're not gonna
leave those fries, are ya? [Chuckles]
- I'll help you finish 'em.
- What? Oh! Oh!
Booker, stop! Stop! Stop!
Look what you've done!
I can't go out like this.
I'm sorry, Mom. I...
I guess we'll have to cancel our
plans.
No. No.
Mm-mm-mmm.
No, I'm not gonna let a little
stain ruin our special day.
It's okay. I'm just gonna throw together
a hot look from the lost and found.
See, I told you it would work.
You were annoying me
from across the room.
It didn't work.
She still wants to hang out.
I'm just too lovable.
Well, tough luck, Booker.
But we're here for you.
[phone buzzing]
Huh.
Oh, I got a text from Ivy.
"Concert starts in 20. Gotta ditch Booker.
Don't read this out loud."
Oh.
I really should have put
that last part first.
You think?
Sorry, Booker. We gotta go.
See ya.
So what do you think?
It's cool.
Cool?
Just cool?
I will have you know that
this is a 1:87 scale model
of San Francisco.
I even have the guy at the BART
station that tells you to "suck eggs."
Sorry.
I was just looking at these cool
pictures in Model Train Monthly
Have you ever heard
of Choo-Choo Rodriguez?
His train room is
pretty impressive.
Choo-Choo Rodriguez is a hack.
I should be in that magazine.
You totally should.
But you'd have to do something
more exciting than San Francisco.
Something exotic.
Like an island?
[gasps]
An island!
That's a great idea!
If you do that,
I bet those magazine people
would do a feature on "Boxcar Baxter."
Boxcar Baxter.
I like the sound of that.
[snaps fingers] Let's do it.
You're going down, Choo-Choo!
We're gonna kick your caboose.
That's train for "butt."
[grunts] I'm just gonna say it.
I'm just gonna say it, okay?
They got some bougie lost and
founds in San Francisco.
I look better than
when I left the house.
- You look fine.
- Yes. I do.
Pier 39, here we come!
[yelling] All aboard!
Excuse me. Hi. I'm trying to get
my son to fall in love with the
city.
Do you think you can throw in
some fun stories
- about how great it is to grow up here?
- Oh. [Laughs]
I'm from Albuquerque.
Oh, uh, well, hey, here's $20.
Name's Frisco Fred.
Born and raised
in San Francisco.
Which is why they
call me Frisco Phil.
[quietly] Listen.
Excuse me, you just said "Frisco Fred."
Well, that's what
you get for 20 bucks.
- [bell rings]
- [gasps] Here we go, here we go!
Yay! [Laughs]
Look. You, me, a cable car.
Oh! What could be better than that?
Hanging with the
girl of my dreams.
The girl of your dre...
[squealing] Oh,
baby. I love you too.
So, what do you think?
This good enough
to beat Choo-Choo?
I dunno. Buildings
seem a little tiny.
Well, I could build
a bigger train depot.
-Eh
-And a hotel?
Eh
An entire resort with private
villas, a shopping plaza and a... day spa?
Now you're thinking
outside the boxcar.
Oh, man. Now I'm
making train jokes.
Here we are. Golden Gate Park.
[chattering]
Hey. Where's everybody going?
Uh, there's a huge concert.
A concert? Now that sounds like
fun. Doesn't it, Mom?
Uh-uh-uh, no.
We're not going to no stinking concert.
We're gonna have a great time at
the pier like I used to with my friends.
Oh, you're missing out.
I met the love of my life at
that concert.
Unfortunately, he
met my brother.
They have two lovely kids
and live in Albuquerque.
Where I'm not from.
Love of your life, huh?
Uh, excuse me,
Frisco Phil... Fred,
could you do less personal
information, a little more Pier
39, and step on it.
It's a lever, ma'am.
Then pull on it.
Booker, what are you doing?
Yeah, passengers aren't supposed
to touch the lever.
I don't wanna go to Pier 39.
No, no, no. You're going to Pier 39.
You're gonna love it.
- I wanna go to that concert!
- You can go to a concert anywhere.
Booker, I need you to see what's great
about San Francisco!
[grunting]
Maybe you could talk
without touching the lever?
You're going to stay with me.
I'm going.
You're staying!
- I'm going.
- You are staying!
Oh, snap!
This is why you don't
touch the lever.
[all screaming]
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
Look what you did!
- Me? You pushed it!
- You pulled it!
Neither of you were
supposed to touch it!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[Alice] We're out of control! Oh
no! Watch out, guy in red
jacket!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[honking continues]
[Alice] We're headed straight
for the fish market!
Look out for the octopus!
- [all screaming]
- [cars honking]
[Raven] Get it off! Get it off!
Get it off! [Whimpering]
That's for fish
slapping your momma.
- [honking continues]
- [whimpers, screams]
[all screaming]
- [metal crunches]
- [glass shatters]
Wow. These things break easy.
- [Booker whimpering]
- [brakes squeal]
- We stopped?
- It's a miracle.
Actually, it was
the emergency brake.
I looked it up on my phone.
- You okay?
- Yeah, you?
Well, you know,
I may need to change my pants again.
Booker, this is crazy.
I can't make you be somewhere
you don't wanna be.
I know, Mom. But it's just
All day you kept talking about
how much fun you and your friends had,
and all my friends
are at that concert.
I get it. If you wanna go, just
go. But, Booker. Booker?
- [footsteps retreating]
- Oh, gone.
Left as soon as you
said the word "go."
I don't think he
even heard the "o."
Alice, can you come up here?
What is my doll doing there?
You made a doll resort? For me?
All this time,
I thought you were building a train room
when you were
actually making this?
I know.
It's almost like you made me
think that it was [gasps]
my idea.
Busted.
Yeah. You didn't think I knew
what you were up to, did you?
If you knew, why'd you do it?
Well, you've been away from your
folks for a while,
and I know you want a little
space of your own
but you don't have
to trick people to get it.
We don't do that in this family.
What about Auntie Rae?
Yeah, she's a work in progress.
Thank you, Pop-Pop. I love you.
Aw. I love you too.
Did you really know
I was tricking you?
You'll never know.
[imitates train whistle]
He's good, Tasha.
He is very good.
Yeah, that concert was dope!
You didn't see any of it.
But I caught the
vibe, and it was dope.
Hey, Neil. Where'd you go?
I was in the parking lot,
selling these bad boys.
San Franciscochella.
Did people actually buy those?
Well, one person did.
Not gonna lie
The name grows on you.
So, did you meet up with Cami?
Nah.
I mean, it's cool.
At least we got to hang out.
You guys make San Francisco fun.
I kinda wish I wasn't
leaving tomorrow.
Why don't you stay?
[scoffs] Oh, Neil. I can't stay.
Wait, can I stay?
Why not? I know Alice and your
grandfather really like having you around.
- Yeah, and you can go to school with us.
- Yeah.
I guess I could keep
helping my mom out,
but I can't just leave my whole
life in Chicago.
[whooshing]
[echoing] I'm really glad
that you brought me to this dance.
[whooshing]
I gotta go!
Yeah, I just...
I just feel like you're the only one
in this house
who truly understands how I feel.
Did you tell Booker
you want him to stay?
What do you think?
I'm talking to a hockey stick.
I guess I just have to accept
the fact that he's
- He's going back to Chicago.
- [door opens]
Mom, I thought about it
and I want to stay here in San Francisco.
[screaming] Yes! I knew it!
Nia's got her own thing going on
in Chicago.
And I've made friends here.
And I like helping out.
And I would miss you.
[shuddering breaths]
I mean, yeah. If
that's what you want.
- I do. I really do.
- Yes! [Screams]
This makes me so happy! Okay,
I'm gonna unpack your bags right now.
- Okay.
- [laughs]
[sighs]
You met a girl, didn't you?
[scoffs] No.
I met the girl.
Hey, I, um... I feel bad
that you're gonna lose your doll resort
now that this is
gonna be my room.
It's okay.
- You're not mad at me?
- No.
But Tasha might be.
Wait, what?
I'd sleep with one eye
open if I were you.
Good night!
[grunts]
[giggling]
[screams]
Momma! I'm sleeping
with you tonight!
