GRACE:
There you are my Hello Kitty. You slept late and
now you missed your breakfast, yes you did.
GRACE:
... I was talking to Cammeo, yes I was. Do you know she still has that
stupid ghost sister of hers bothering her. I wish I knew a way to
get rid of her. Hey that gives me an idea.
GRACE:
… Come on out genie, your master needs you.
IO:
Yes master?
GRACE:
I have a wish for you, yes I do. I wish that Cammeo’s sister-ghost would get her own life and stop haunting her - I mean stop haunting Cammeo. Yes that’s what I wish. Now what happens?
IO:
Thy wish is granted.
DAPRIMA:
NO! Grace what have you done?
GRACE:
Remember Cammeo’s silly ghost? I told you I didn’t want
it walking around in my house, so I had Io take care of it.
DAPRIMA:
I told you not to wish for anything until I understood how this works.
GRACE:
I already know how it works. I’m his master, that’s what he calls me and I get three wishes. Yes I do. Now I have two left.
DAPRIMA:
According to Mez, he’s Io’s master.
GRACE:
Well that’s wrong. Io’s my genie. I’m the one who opened the lamp - so I’m his master, yes I am. Isn’t that right Io?
IO:
The genie belongs to the first clan.
GRACE:
What’s a clan? What in the world are you talking about?
My goodness, don’t you know anything about genies?
I’m your one and only master, yes I am.
IO:
It took the three that belong to the first clan
to release the genie from its lamp.
GRACE:
But I opened it all by myself, you saw me Daprima. He's just confused
that’s all. There's probably not enough air in that thing.
DAPRIMA:
I think I understand. Grace you couldn’t get the lamp open and neither
could I. It wasn’t until Mez touched it that the lid loosened. Which means
all of us ... Oh Io please get up off the floor and have a seat.
DAPRIMA:
… Now about these three wishes.
IO:
There are not three wishes. There is no limit as to what
the genie can do for its masters.
GRACE:
Oh my stars! Does that mean I get more than three wishes?
It sounds like it, yes it does. Well, then I won’t mind
sharing you with my brother and sister.
DAPRIMA:
Io, what if we don’t want to be your masters? What if we want
you to live among us, without having any wishes granted?
GRACE:
But Daprima, I have lots of wishes, yes I do.
DAPRIMA:
You’re not making any more wishes.
GRACE:
You can’t do that. I can make a wish whenever I want to.
DAPRIMA:
Io, can I wish you to disregard her wishes?
GRACE:
You wouldn’t!
IO:
If she believes you possess such power, it shall come to pass.
DAPRIMA:
I have that power. So before you make another
wish Grace, you’ll check with me first. Understand?
GRACE:
But Daprima ...
DAPRIMA:
I’m not going to argue with you about this.
GRACE:
Oh alright, but I want you to know that you’re ruining all my fun.
DAPRIMA:
I can live with that.
GRACE:
Can Io come and watch my cartoonies with me?
DAPRIMA:
I guess so. Io would you like that?
IO:
If it pleases the master.
DAPRIMA:
I wish you’d stop calling me master. I'm Daprima, and this is Grace.
IO:
Thy wish is granted.
GRACE:
Come on Io, you’re going to love TV, I just know it.
GRACE:
Good morning Fin. Have you met Io. He’ll be living here
from now on, yes he will. We're going to go watch
my cartoonies. Come along Io.
FIN:
Daprima this may be a stupid question - but did that guy spend the night in here?
DAPRIMA:
Uh-huh.
FIN:
Where did he sleep?
DAPRIMA:
Inside his lamp, where else?
FIN:
Excuse me?
DAPRIMA:
Brace yourself babe, Io’s a genie. It’s a long story. I’ll tell you
all about it over breakfast. But first - good morning.
FIN:
I miss waking up with you.
DAPRIMA:
Me too.
FIN:
Daprima, I’ve been thinking. I’m in a room with my three brothers, meanwhile poor Cammeo’s looking for a roommate.
DAPRIMA:
You planning to move in with her?I think Mez
would be opposed to that decision.
FIN:
Uh no. I was thinking Grace could share Cammeo’s
room and I could move in here, with you.
DAPRIMA:
Well now that you’ve got Grace out of my hair, maybe I’d like
to have my own room. Why should I share it with you?
DAPRIMA:
That’s a very convincing argument babe.
Do you think you can move in tonight?
FIN:
I was hoping you'd say that ...
