"All right, tell me what happened before Mom sees us out in the rain.." Lucy says as she follows Linus in the downpour. <br> <br> They look at each other. "Well, it's really kind of simple..." Linus begins. <br> <br> Linus raises his arms and explains: "All I did was stand out here like this...and then I said.." <br> <br> He throws back his head and shouts: "'Rain, rain, go away..come again some other day!" <br> <br> It stops raining. Lucy is shocked. <br> <br> "Frightening, isn't it?" Linus prompts. "Good grief!" Lucy gazes up at the sky. <br> <br> "I don't know whether I should call a doctor or a booking agent.." Linus continues as they stare up at the sky. <br> <br> "Do you think I'm a demon? Do you think maybe they'll stone me?" Linus asks. <br> <br> "I DON'T WANNA BE STONED!!!" Linus grabs Lucy and shakes her. <br> <br>"Take it easy...take it easy...We don't know for sure yet that it was your doing.." Lucy soothes Linus as he clutches at her. <br> <br> Lucy says, "It only happened twice..if you can do it ONCE more, then we'll know for sure..we'll just have to wait now for it to start raining again.." <br> <br> They stare at the sky. <br> <br> Linus turns to Lucy: "I wonder if I can be patented?" <br> <br>
