Raven's Home

No, no, no. Please, please.

No more pictures, everybody.

All right. Fine, fine. Get my good side.

Yes, I'll design a line for you, Michael B. Jordan.

Mom, mom, mom!

It's a... it's a ch-chupacabra in there!

Get behind me, babies!

Okay.

Choke on some tropical glaze, you creep!

Levi?

Levi, what are you wearing and why are you interrupting

my nightly date with Michael B. Jordan?

Sorry. I've been having trouble sleeping lately.

This stuff helps.

That stuff makes you look cray-cray in the day-day.

Poor Levi.

He's been clinging on to things his mom sent him from the cruise.

Now he just smells like cheap air freshener.

Levi... I think I know what's going on.

You miss your mama.

What? I don't miss my mom at all.

Then why do you have a shirt with her face on it?

This is a plain t-shirt.

If you see my mom, that means you miss her.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna put on my matching pants.

Yep! That's us.

You save me some sunscreen, Nikos. Hey, Rae.

Uh-uh, girl. Don't you "hey, Raven" me.

We need to talk about your son.

Who? Levi?

Do you have another son

that another best friend is raising?

Listen, Levi... He's lost without you.

- What do you mean? - Here's what I mean.

All right, mom. I need you to sign my permission slip.

Here you go.

Just sign right here.

Thank you.

It's okay, Rae. I've encouraged Levi to talk to plants.

It helps them grow.

And besides, he's with you.

I know you wouldn't let anything happen to my baby.

Chels, you know I have your back, but I think I've done all I can do.

I mean, I've wiped, I've wiped noses, I've wiped...

So many things.

When you coming back?

We need you and we miss you.

I miss you too.

But, you know, these seminars, they're a hit.

It's... it's just... it's really hard for me to leave right now.

Chels. Oh, no. I see those eyes, Chels.

I see them. They shifty. What you not telling me?

Well, I...

I can't disappoint my schmoppies.

Schmoppies? What is that, a mop cult?

What about me?

Well, there's only one of you.

You know? There's trillions of them.

In fact, there's a seminar starting right now.

Gotta go, love you! Bye!

Man, that was close.

I almost spilled the beans.

I knew it! I knew it!

I knew the shifty eyes.

- What beans aren't you telling me? - Mom, you better come here!

It sounds like you have an emergency, Rae.

You better go! Love you, bye!

Okay, here's the first one.

This is when my mom took me to the zoo.

Levi, it's just a black screen.

Yeah, she left the lens cap on.

Mom.

Just roll with it.

- What's going on? - Hey.

Mom, Levi...

Is giving us a slide show of family photos with aunt Chelsea.

Oh, snap. I'm starting to see it.

Levi, admit it. You miss your mom.

Miss my mom?

Don't make me laugh.

Mom. Mom, I'm scared.

Okay, okay. Listen, listen.

Let me just talk to Levi really fast, okay?

Um, Levi...

I'm gonna go take you to see you mom.

Yes! Finally!

I've been acting out for weeks.

I've already got my suitcase packed.

- I even packed for Booker. - But what'd you pack?

Whatever was clean.

So I packed very light.

Levi...

If you wanted to see your mom, all you had to do was ask.

Auntie Rae,

will you please take me to see my mom?

Yes.

Yes!

Okay, then I'll ask.

- Can I come? - No.

But you will get a souvenir.

Because you're gonna do the most important job.

You're gonna water my plants.

- Nah! Uh! - Booker, if your foot touches me

- one more time... - back off, homie!

You're crowing us.

You're not even in the car!

Gary, this is what happens when you take a shared SCÜT

from Chicago to Indiana.

This is what happens.

Levi, why is your elbow all the way over here?

I spread when I sit.

Well, spread to Nia's side of the car.

Wow, you think you're space is more important than mine,

just like you think your New York itinerary is more important than mine.

Uh, it is. First, we're going to Yankee stadium.

Then we're going to get a slice of pizza,

and then we're going to wait outside Rihanna's brownstone.

Simple!

No. First, we're going to Broadway,

and then we're gonna see the statue of Liberty,

and then, we're going to go wait outside Michael b. Jordan's apartment.

Really?

I track his location.

Hey, hey, hey.

First, we're going to the boat

to drop me off so I can spend the week with my mom.

Well, look at that.

The little one is the most responsible in the back seat.

Well, what you guys ought to do...

No, Tess. What you ought to do is go water the plants

'cause we about to go see Michael b. Jordan. Okay?

Bye!

All right, Gary.

Welcome to Gary... Indiana.

Thank you riding with...

- Can you take me with you? - No.

- Bye, Gary. - Great, he's gone.

Can I sit in the front seat now?

Nope. If anyone gets to sit in the front seat, it should be me.

I'm the oldest.

- By two minutes! - Listen, listen, listen.

- Do y'all want souvenirs? - Yes.

Okay, well, then leaving an open seat for the SCÜT passenger

is how we get our souvenirs money, okay?

Well, how about you guys leave some room for me?

Aah! Levi, move over!

Booker, I warned you. One more time and that foot is mine.

- Oh this foot? - Yes, this one!

What mom commandments are you breaking right now?

Thou shalt not use an outside voice inside of the car.

Thou shalt not kick the back of thy mother's seat.

But to be fair,

I wouldn't have to kick the back of your seat

if I could get some room back here.

Don't make me pull this car over!

Don't make me do it.

Welcome! Whoo! Oh!

Thank you all so much for being here.

I'm Chelsea Grayson, and I am the inventor of the schmop.

And I'm here to help all of you find your inspiration

and become the inventor you've always wanted to be.

Okay.

Are there any questions before we get started?

First you have to make a mess.

- Okay? - Excuse me.

Oh, miss Bertha, back again.

Have you thought of shuffleboard?

Or the, um, "how to get your groove back" seminar, huh?

I think it starts in like 10 minutes.

Okay. What's your question?

Well, it says here on this flyer that I get a free schmop.

Miss Bertha, hey. That wasn't a question.

It says here on this flyer that I get a free schmop,

doesn't it?

Okay, there we go. All right.

Can I have hers?

What? But you already have three.

Well, can I have another one? Ain't nobody else here.

Man, I'm having so much fun,

I don't even want to know if we're there yet!
