Here they are!

The greatest bad
movies ever made.

The frankenteen trilogy.

Ok, which of the worst ones
do you want to watch first?

Well, there's
frankenteen surf party,

frankenteen goes to math camp...

You know, rappin' frankenteen.

♪ They hit me
with the lightning ♪

♪ now I'm very frightening ♪

♪ well, don't get excited,
'cause you ain't invited ♪

I thought we were
having a movie marathon.

Ha ha! We are.

However, you
have a list of chores

that mom gave you to do today.

Hey, she gave you a list, too.

Um, I know.

But I'm doing mine.

I got the dryer going,
the dishwasher going,

and now I got you
going. Bye-bye.

Ah, you're late.

I got a situation.

Who you callin' a situation?!

Stanley!

Whassup, baby?

You miss me?

Sorry, Rae.

He's with me.

I got stuck baby-sitting him.

It's a long, ugly story.

Yeah, but it just got
shorter and better lookin'.

Well, there goes our
frankenteen movie marathon.

I wish we could unload him
off on some other sucker.

Cory. Cory. Cory.

Wha-aaaat?

How would you like to
do a favor for someone

who loves you very much?

Depends on how
much love you got.

How about I do all
your chores for you

if you keep Stanley
out of our hair?

Done. Oh, and, uh...

You'll be needing this.

Yeah. And you'll
be needing this.

Whassup?

Frankenteen! Frankenteen!

Let's go.

yep, that's me.

Ha ha ha. Check it out.

Frankenteen's break dancing.

Yeah. That's a pretty
cool head spin, huh?

Yeah. It probably
helps that his head's flat.

I wonder if frankenteen
did all the chores

his mother asked him to do.

You promised to
take out the trash,

pick up the dry cleaning...

mom, see, I know where
you're going with this, mom,

but see, don't worry.

I got it covered.

I hope so.

Because when you leave
your chores until the last minute,

sooner or later it comes back to

blah blah blah

blah blah blah. Blah
blah blah blah blah!

Raven, are you listening to me?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, mom.

Yeah, I heard every
blah... I mean word!

I hope so.

Hello?

Hello, professor.

You did?

You will?

You have a good
day, too, professor.

Nitwit!

What was that all about?

My absent-minded, irresponsible,

bubble head of a law professor

lost my assignment.

At least he offered to come by

and pick up another copy.

Ha ha ha!

Check out frankenteen
doing the robot!

Ooh. Raven.

Ha ha! I'm dusting, I'm dusting.

Raven...

Dad and I are
going shopping later.

My professor is coming by

to pick up an assignment.

Be sure he gets it, all right?

Raven? Huh?!

I'm gonna print out a copy

and leave it right
here on the counter.

Ok. Got it. Got it, mom. Ok?

Raven, come on! You're
missing the whole movie!

Oh, I'm not missing anything.

I am multitasking.

I'm watching
television, I'm dusting...

And now I'm picking
up the dry cleaning.

Well, actually, I'm
having it delivered.

Now, if anybody asks,

I have a broken leg.

Eddie, go get the door.

You go get the door!

Eddie, she has a broken leg!

Hello.

You had to live on top of the
biggest hill in San Francisco!

So, who's got the broken leg?

Oh, she does. Do
you want to see it?

Chels!

So, uh, where's your cast?

I broke that, too?

Your leg ain't broken!

You was just too lazy to
come down to the store

and pick up your own clothes!

Hey!

That's right, I got your chips.

Hey, you!

You're on my list.

Well, now she's off mine.

Check!

See, no big deal.

Your assignment's all
ready for your professor.

No, it is a big deal, Victor.

This is not the first
time he's lost my work.

You know what? I'm
gonna call him back

and give him a piece of my mind.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there

before you do something
that you're gonna regret.

Now, listen, I was
watching Oprah yesterday,

and she was talking...

You were watching Oprah?

The rock was supposed to be on.

The point is I learned that
if you're angry at somebody,

you write them a letter,

you tell them everything
that's bothering you,

you don't mail it.

That way you let
out all your anger,

and nobody gets hurt.

You know what? I'm doing it.

Dear professor nitwit,

you birdbrained, air-headed,

unprofessional twit!

Hmm, this does feel good.

Oh, here we go.

Man, I used to love this
game when I was a kid.

Bouncy, bouncy bunnies.

sh**t, you must've
been a real tough kid,

bunny boy!

Oh... You wanna
play shut your face

and stand in the corner?

No.

But I'll play this.

Ping-pong?

Ok, listen... One,
you're not tall enough.

And "b," you're not good enough.

Well, if you think
you're so great,

why don't we
make it interesting?

Ok... when I win,

you stop bugging me
for the rest of the day.

Ok.

But if I win,

you have to give me
these video games.

Ok, let's do this.

Now, how you gonna
play from way down there?

Just serve it up... Bunny boy!

Who wants to buy
some video games?

Aren't those Cory's video games?

Only if he buys 'em back.

He won 'em from me in ping-pong.

Oh, I'm sorry, cor...

Oops, we're out of popcorn.

You know, ping-pong
was my favorite sport

in vegetarian camp.

Well, that and
the eggplant toss.

Really? Wanna play?

Yes, I would love to.

Do you guys have an eggplant?

He's talking about
ping-pong, Chels!

And the only person

that's gonna
play this kid is me.

Don't worry, Cory, I'll
get your games back.

All right.

Well, bring it on, my brother!

Hello.

Hello. I'm professor Benjamin.

I'm looking for Tina Baxter.

You mean Tonya?

Right, right. Yes.

How could I forget?

He's one of my
best students. She.

Oh, of course. Yes.

Now, what can I do for you?

You came here.

Did I?

Oh, yes, I did.

All right.

'Cause this looks
nothing like my apartment.

Hey, wait a second!

You're that professor my
mom was telling me about.

Wait a sec...

Raven, my professor's coming by

to pick up an assignment.

Blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah.

Blah... blah blah
blah blah blah.

I think you're here
to pick up something?

If you say so.

Let me see...

Hey, this must be it right here.

Professor Benjamin.
There you go.

Thank you very much.

Now if I could just remember

where I parked my car.

Or did I take the bus?

I don't know.

And check.

Hey... Check out the bling!

Hey, my mama gave me that chain!

He b*at you, too?!

He even got me for my shoes.

Um, aren't they a little big?

I'll grow into 'em.

So, what we watching?

Hey.

Hi.

Hi. Oh, Raven, did
the professor come by?

Yep. I gave him the
envelope that was on the desk.

Good. Thanks.

On the desk? Mm-hmm.

Oh, Rae, I can't
watch. It's too scary!

Please, girl, this is not scary.

Tonya, shrieking: Raven!

Now, that's scary!

Mom, are you ok?!

No!

I specifically asked you

to give the professor
the envelope

on the counter.

What did I do? You
gave him the envelope

that was on the desk.

I'm guessing
there's a difference?

Well, the one on the counter

is my assignment.

The one on the desk
is gonna ruin my life.

Honey, write it
down, write it down.

Back off, Victor!

Backing off. Backing off.

Raven, that was an angry letter

that was never
supposed to be sent.

When the professor
reads that letter,

I'm gonna get kicked
out of law school!

I'm sorry.

Raven, I love you,

but when I tell you something,
I expect you to listen.

You can't just keep
spacing out and...

There you go.

Might as well clean this, too.

I wasn't spacing out, I promise,

but I did have a vision, mom.

The professor has
not read the letter yet.

So there's still hope?

Yes. He's going to give his
jacket to the dry cleaners,

and the letter's
still in the pocket.

So all we have to
do is get down there

and get the letter back.

Right! Right! Right!

Here you go, kids.

Can't watch a movie
without popcorn.

Thanks, dad, but
we turned it off.

We did?

Oh, I thought frankenteen
was in that dark basement

for a long time.

The reason we
turned it off is because

we're still trying
to figure out a way

to get our stuff
back from Stanley.

How can a little
kid get your stuff?

He won it in ping-pong.

He even got me
for my shoes, Mr. B.

Ping-pong?

You guys know I was
city-wide champ 4 years running.

Wait... wait a second. Dad...

You can win our stuff
back from Stanley.

No, it wouldn't be fair.

He's just a little kid.

Come on, Mr. B.

You can't let a brother
go home without his shoes.

I'm hungry.

Hey, pops, go up in that Kitchen

and make me a cheese sandwich.

Oh, it's on.

Ooh!

Wrist me.

Stanley, my dad's about
to take you to school!

Huh!

Ok. But if I don't
learn my lesson,

I want that big shiny thing.

My city-wide trophy?

Ha ha!

That's cute, little man.

I'll tell you what.

If you can b*at me, it's yours,

but if I b*at you, you
give back everything

that you hustled.

Just serve it up, city-wide!

Ha ha...

Young man, you don't know
who you're messing with.

Unh!

Excuse me.

Can I help...

Oh, well, looky here!

Boy, you heal fast.

This might be a bad idea.

What up, girl?

Well, let's see.

My bike had a flat
going down your hill.

Oh, oh, and then I stepped
in some dog business.

I had to burn my shoes!

I'm really sorry about all that,

but, heh... We need a favor.

Well, do ya, now?

Was professor Benjamin
here, by any chance?

As a matter of fact,
you just missed him.

Oh, well, um, ha ha!

Funny story.

See, I gave him this letter

that he really wasn't
supposed to read,

and here's the funny part,
right, mama? Ha ha ha ha!

He put it in his jacket pocket

that he just dropped
off to get cleaned.

And if I don't get
that letter back...

What's gonna happen, mama?

There's gonna be some
serious consequences.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Sounds like you
guys have troubles.

Well... Too bad I don't care.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Well, all you have to do
is check the jacket pocket

and give us back the letter.

Don't wanna.

Let me put it like this...

Please give us the letter back.

Please! Mom!

Mom, what are you doing?!

Begging.

Which is no way to behave.

There is a way to
get that letter back

and maintain our
pride and dignity.

Uhh!

You ok, Rae?

My pride's ok, but my dignity

is a little sore.

Let's just find that jacket

and get out of here.

Don't worry about your sweater.

Oh, no! Mom, we gotta hide!

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Hold on one second.

This is going right in with
the delicate washables.

Mom! Mama!

Mom!

Aah!

So I had to pedal up that hill

on my rusty, broke-down bike.

And they had the nerve
to ask me for a favor.

It's not polite to
point, little girl.

Mama, mama, get
me off this thing!

Raven! Mommy! Mommy!

Hang on, honey!

Like I have a choice.

Oh, no, no, I can
talk. I can talk.

Ok, yeah, I know,
the green sweater.

Oh, dang! This thing is busted!

Mommy, help! I got you!

I got you. I got you.

I got you! Oh!

Man, I don't get
paid enough for this!

I wonder if I can
scratch this name off.

I can't believe you
won my dad's trophy.

That's not all.

Here's your cheese sandwich...

Shaped like a ping-pong paddle.

I hope you cook
better than you play.

You know, Stanley,
I'm the only one

who didn't get to play you yet.

Consider yourself lucky, Chels.

At least you still
got your shoes.

Well, I still want to play.

What do you say, Stanley?

Hey, if... if I win,

you have to give
everybody their stuff back.

Yeah, but if I win,

you have to give me your jacket.

You're about my mama's size.

I'm a little rusty.

You got skills.

Well, you should see
me at the eggplant toss.

I won!

Yay, I get my games back!

And I get my trophy!

And I get my shoes!

Chelsea, that was incredible!

Where did you learn to
play ping-pong like that?

Vegetarian camp was in China.

Rhonda, can you stop this rack?

I'm trying to. I don't
want to break it.

How'd you get back here?

I can explain.

Professor.

I came to drop my jacket off.

You did already.

Oh. That would explain
why I'm not wearing it.

So, is it ready yet?

You just dropped it off.

But you left this in the pocket.

Got it!

No, you don't! What?

No, you don't. No, you don't.

Hey!

Yes, she does!

Oh, I'm stuck!

I don't like this ride!

Aah!

Here it is.

Sir... Before you read that,

let me explain.

Ah, tisha!

Tonya.

Oh, yes. Of course.

You know, I must apologize.

I found your assignment.

Excellent job, by the way.

Well, at any rate, I
won't be needing this.

Oh... well...

All's well the ends well.

Ah! Shakespeare.

Yeah.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to go to the cleaners.

But you're at...
Good-bye, tiffanie.

So, did everything work
out with you and Rae?

Yeah. I think from now on

when we talk, she'll
be listening. Hmm.

What about at the cleaners?

She and Rhonda came
to an understanding.

Oh, I got it.

Cleaners.

You had to live on the
biggest hill in San Francisco!
