SStevie
Hello prisoners. (picks up a guy's hat, drops it, and points at Mr. Laritate) Warden.
SStevie
(takes another guy's device) Sorry I'm late. I had a phone call (looks at Eddie) with your mom. She said, "Get out of my chair!"
EEddie
(goes to different chair)
SStevie
(sits down comfortably)
Alex
(turns to Stevie) Who are you?
SStevie
I'm Stevie. Last name...I don't want to know yours so why do you want to know mine?
She makes you look like him. (motions to Justin)
All right, I'll be back to let you out of the cage at three. If you need anything, you should have thought of that before you acted up. (leaves and closes the door)
Alex
(gets up) Hey Stevie, why don't you tell me a bedtime story about how you ended up in detention so fast? (takes a pillow hidden from inside a globe)
SStevie
Got caught for some stuff at my old school, so they're making me make up detention here. But it's cool. It's the quickest way to meet my people.
Alex
(gets a sound machine from behind a plaque on the wall) You're people? Oh, you mean people like me! Thank you! That's so sweet! (makes a hammock) Now, if you'll excuse me. I need a couple of more hours shut eye under a gentle rain. (turns the sound machine on and the machine plays sounds of rain)
EEddie
Yeah you gotta turn that down. It makes me want to go numero uno.
EEddie
Yeah that's right, I speak French.
SStevie
(turns the sound machine volume higher) Well, Oui, Oui.
Alex
(laughs and does a handshake with Stevie)
Alex
I'd love to see the look on Justin's face if he saw this band instead of those jazz geezers.
SStevie
That would be awesome! We gotta make that happen!
Alex
If only we knew two girls with devious enough minds to come up with a scheme to get Uggh to play at our school.
SStevie
Hmmmm. I think I see one.
Alex
And I see another one. (high fives Stevie)
Alex
You're not my friend Harper.
Alex
Stevie's my friend. You're my sister.
Alex
(hugs Harper) I love you.
Alex
Okay. (crawl over the window)
Wait, what are you doing?
Alex
Well I'm not going to let you stay here alone.
But what if you get in trouble?
Alex
For what, sneaking into detention? Yeah I would love to see how that works.
I guess if you get into trouble you're already here so... Hey your boots match the detention chair.
Alex
Yeah, there use to be two chairs. (sits on the detention chair the same time as Harper)
Alex
Wait, wait, wait! We've heard two different stories here.
Well, maybe Warren is lying. Let's see if he can stand up to one of my uncomfortable stares.
[Harper stares and Warren faints]
Alex
Quick! Quick! He fainted. Someone give me a pen. I love drawing mustaches on people who can't stop me!
Uh, now it makes sense, he won and a disgruntled family member is trying to wreck it for him. I've seen my future in the present.
Alex
Stevie is my friend. I'm sure she's got a reasonable explanation for what's going on.
[Justin scoffs]
Alex
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
C'mon Harper, let's go find Stevie. [starts to walk away with Harper]
Alex
I bet you he has a pen on him! [searches Warren]
[goes back to Alex and drags her away] Alex, stop that! It looks illegal.
[comes home] I did it. I told Nancy the truth.
Isn't it easier telling the truth, honey?
I'm so relieved that I told her I'm a wizard.
JJJustin and Jerry
[do a spit take]
RThe Russos
[look at Max] YOU WHAT?!?!
Max! When I told you to tell the truth to Nancy I meant to her the truth about being a Russo, not about being a wizard!
You wanted me to tell her the truth but not the whole truth? This truth thing is confusing, mom. To tell you the truth.
Alex
Yeah, I mean you tell the truth you get in trouble. You lie you get in trouble. We're probably just better off not talking to each other.
What did Nancy say when you told her?
Max, you really need to work on how you give information when you tell a story. I mean, if I had a ketchup bottle when you said you told her, I would have squeezed it and ketchup would have been flying everywhere.
Harper please hand me the ketchup. [Harper gives Jerry the ketchup]
But then I took her on a magic carpet ride and she totally believed me.
Ahhh! (squeezes the ketchup bottle)
(thinking) So if our universe is actually on a speck of dust that speck of dust could be on another speck of dust! And another and another.
Alex
(speaking through Zeke's mind) This is going to take a lot of meddling.
(stops thinking and gets scared) Hello? Who's there?
Alex
(smiles and covers her laugh)
