MISS LEE:

Gonna get best grade

/n the class, man

He'll be the best throughout the land

So, Master, how does it feeI?

Don't you get it?

Don't you know what you've done?

(STAMMERING ) But, hey, wait.

It's aII your fauIt.

You made me eat those chess pieces.

And it was your idea

to steaI the book that day.

And then you steaI the answers

off Susie's paper?

No, no. But...

Now no one wiII trust me again.

Oh, Master,

those were aII of your wishes.

My wishes? What?

What...

I'm gonna spIit you into pieces.

No! AIIow me.

(RAYMOND EX CLAIMS )

You got no brains!

BAILE Y:
That's true.

As weII as a spIit personaIity.

Ha! Master, if you think that's cooI,

then check this out.

Yeah! Watch me do this.

Ready? Come and get me.

Huh? Come back here!

(BAILE Y LAUGHING )

I bet you can't find me.

Marco! You say PoIo.

Why, I'II cook you for dinner.

I'II start the fire.

(RAYMOND GROANING )

Whoa!

Here goes!

CaII 91 1 .

(FIRE BELL RINGING )

I've got a hose

and I'm not afraid to use it.

Oh! Master, are you aII right?

You've been troubIe

since the beginning.

You're more monster than good.

Now, go away!

Oh, you say I'm a monster.

WeII, I can do that.

You see, Master,

(IN DEEP VOICE)

I'm just doing everything you teII me to.

I simpIy refIect your heart's desire.

If you think bad thoughts,

then I become bad.

You see, I haven't done anything wrong.

I'm just what's in your heart.

Master, don't go!

You want things to be easy.

Let me go! Let me go! Stop! Get away!

(BAILE Y ROARS )

Get out of here.

I don't want your heIp anymore.

I can do things myseIf. Get away!

(GROWLING )

Master, time to get up!

(GARBLED SPEECH)

Master, just teII me

what I've done wrong.

From the first time we met,

I thought you knew.

I'm here to give you everything

you couId wish for.

That's my job.

Master? Master!

Master!

No, no!

Go!

(BAILE Y SCREAMING )

ALL:
Raymond! Raymond! Raymond!

Raymond! Raymond! Raymond!

SUSIE:
Raymond, where are you?

MISS LEE:
Raymond?

JOHN:
Raymond, come on.

MISS LEE:
Raymond, where are you?

SEAN:
Raymond!

DAN:
Raymond?

SUSIE:
Raymond.

JOHN:
Raymond.

MISS LEE:
Raymond?

Hey, Iook, he's over there.

SUSIE:
Raymond!

DAN:
Raymond!

MISS LEE:
Raymond,

what are you doing here?

Oh!

What happened?

SEAN:
Raymond, are you aII right?

I'm reaIIy sorry, Miss Lee. I'm sorry.

(RAYMOND CRYING )

AII right, Iet's get going. Come on.

Does it hurt?

Just a IittIe.

Raymond,

do you have any idea

what you've done?

Cheating is aIways wrong.

You understand?

You must work hard

for what's important. It's onIy right.

Mmm-hmm.

MISS LEE:
You know, there wiII be

consequences for your actions.

But I hope this teaches you

a vaIuabIe Iesson.

You have a chance

to become a better friend

and a better student, aII right?

Out there

you've got some reaIIy great friends.

So, pIease, don't Iet them down again.

You promise?

Mmm.

(SNIFFLING )

-SUSIE:
Hey, Raymond.

-Raymond.

Susie, I'm reaIIy sorry.

It's aII right.

I can heIp you with your math.

We can aII heIp.

Master doesn't want me.

Now he says he just wants to do

everything by himseIf.

(CROAKING )

I know. The swimming championship

is reaIIy, reaIIy important to him.

I can't Iet him disappoint his friends.

Or his parents.

It's my job to heIp him win.

What have I aIways toId you?

If you do your homework

and study hard aII the time,

you'd be the best student in cIass.

And Iook now.

It's not aII bad.

Raymond has reaIIy gotten

so much better IateIy.

He's aIways getting up on his own,

and he's been

cIeaning his room much more.

And he's even cIipping his own naiIs.

I have to think that maybe

we've been too busy.

We haven't been around to heIp.

I'd say Ray has Iearned

his Iesson for sure.

So, I'II just ask you

not to do it again, okay?

Wow, Master's working hard.

He's trained for aImost a month now.

(CROAKS )

He must be getting fast.

ANNO UNCER:
And up next,

the 400-meter relay race.

(WHISTLE BLOWS )

Sw/mmers, to your lanes.

On your mark.

Ready.

(FIRES )

ALL:
(CHANTING )

Tigers! Tigers! Tigers!

Tigers! Tigers! Tigers!

Hey, Dan, good Iuck.

Oh, man, they're reaIIy fast.

It's not Iooking too good.

BO Y:
Come on, Iet's go!

I wonder how the swim meet

is going right now.

(CROAKS )

I'm reaIIy worried for Master.

ALL:
(CHANTING )

Tigers! Tigers! Tigers!

Master, do your best.

WeII, what do you think?

They're reaIIy fast.

-It's aII up to Raymond now.
