GRACE:
… Oh that’s a pretty bowl, yes it is. What’s it for?

DAPRIMA:
It’s a scrying bowl. Syrrah sent it to me. It’s supposed to
make my premonitions clearer, that is - if it works.

GRACE:
Oh it’ll work, yes it will and do you know why? Cause you can
do anything, yes you can. How long will it take?

DAPRIMA:
I’m not sure … Hopefully it’ll just happen on the first try.

FIN:
Oh hi Grace.

GRACE:
Hello Fin. I’m helping Daprima use her new bowl, yes I am.

FIN:
So am I. That’s why I have this water.

GRACE:
Oh? What do we do with that?

DAPRIMA:
It goes into the bowl, I look into it and, hopefully
I’ll see …. something.

GRACE:
Oh it must be like watching TV. Maybe you’ll see cartoon-ies,
I love cartoon-ies, yes I do.

FIN:

Aless, you’re just in time. Is that it?

ALESS:
Yup. Ra-Racolo said this will p-purify the water for you. 

sprinkles some into the bowl
GRACE:
Well that wasn’t very interesting, was it? Shouldn’t it sparkle
or something so we know it worked. 

DAPRIMA:
She has a point.

ALESS:

I’m n-n-not finished yet.

chants magical words

ALESS:
… N-now it’s g-good to g-go.

GRACE:
Hey! Aless that was really nifty, yes it was. Can you do
stuff like that anytime you want?

ALESS:
I g-guess …

GRACE:

So if I wanted you to …

DAPRIMA:
No!

GRACE:

What do you mean no? You don’t even know what I was
going to say…

DAPRIMA:
I don’t care. You’re not allowed to ask him for anything
magical, understand? 

DAPRIMA:
… And Aless, if she does - you tell her no.

FIN
Can we get back to the scrying?

DAPRIMA:
Sure babe, what’s next?

FIN:

Stare into the water and concentrate.

GRACE:
What are we concentrating on? 

FIN:
Grace, you don’t need to concentrate, all you need to do is
be quiet. Daprima’s going to do all the work. OK?
 

GRACE:

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me. 

Go on Daprima - we’re all rooting for you, yes we are.

GRACE:
I don’t see anything happening, do you?

FIN:

Grace!

GRACE:

What? I just want to know why this is taking so long, and it
is you know. Are you sure you read the instructions right?

FN:
Yes, now for the last time - be quiet.

DAPRIMA:
I can’t do this with you all staring at me.

ALESS:

Gr-Grace, wh-what do you say we go-go get some
ice cream? M-my treat.

GRACE:
Oh I couldn’t do that - could I?  I’m helping my sister unless …

GRACE:
… Daprima do you think you could do this without me?

DAPRIMA:
It’ll be difficult but I’ll try. You go with Aless and
I’ll keep practicing till you get back. 

GRACE:
That’s a great idea, yes it is. You do that. C’mon Aless …

DAPRIMA:
mouths to Aless
Thank you.

Then …

FIN:
OK, now let’s do this. Take a few deep breaths,
clear you head, and visualize Io, and only Io ….

DAPRIMA:
Wow, that was … so weird. This vision was nothing
like the dream I had …

FIN:
How so?

DAPRIMA:
In the dream it was like Io was taken … stolen,
and he was miserable.

DAPRIMA:
… But this time I saw him happy… laughing.
He was working and living like a regular guy. 

DAPRIMA:
… I don’t think he wasn’t a genie anymore.

FIN:

Maybe, these are two possible futures for him? One where he’s
stolen, and the other where you’ve freed him from the lamp.

DAPRIMA:
If those are his options - then it’s time to free him.
