What am I
doing here?
Let me go!

317
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,567
We'll let you go
when you admit
there is no Ray Magini.

00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,801
Fine, I admit it.

319
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,928
Help me, Ray! Appear
and strike them down!

320
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,930
Homer, no one
has ever seen
Ray but you.

321
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,083
But that's not true.
Bart saw him at
the Builder's Barn.

322
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,129
No, l didn't, Dad.

Flanders, you saw Ray
on the roof with me!

325
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,606
Sorry, Homer.
You'll have to
call me a "Ray-theist"

326
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,682
because I don't
believe I saw him.

327
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,645
Ned, are you okay?

328
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,367
There has to be
someone who saw him.

329
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,965

330

at Knockers!

332
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,481
I called that bosom bar.

333
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,847
The bartender said
you were there alone.

334
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,401
Ray's a figment
of your imagination, Homer.

335
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,363
You felt lonely
and unappreciated,

336
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,925
so you made him up.

337
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,081
And here's the clincher.

338
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,731
"Ray Magini" is
an anagram for "imaginary."

339
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,569
Wow. My subconscious
is a genius.

340
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,166

from my point of view.

347
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,606
I'm afraid this
calls for electroshock.

(GASPS) Electroshock?

is electroconvulsive therapy.

him back to life.
