Role in The Simpsons
When a heavy thunderstorm hits Springfield The Simpsons get a leak in their roof and Homer tries to fix it with Hot Wheels cars but it fails and Lisa's hamster gets sick, Bart's crackers for his homework party get destroyed, and Maggie's teddy bear gets destroyed by the leak. Homer then goes to Moe's Tavern where they had just finished setting up a suprise party for Lenny which Homer ruins and Homer is kicked out. Homer then goes to a bar named Knockers and Homer ends up meeting a roofer named Ray Magini who agrees to fix Homer's roof. When fixing the roof with Homer when Bart, Marge, Lisa, Maggie, and Santa's Little Helper are visiting Grampa Ray and Homer then play a nail fight which destroys Ned's tractor lawn mower and Homer tries to introduce Ray to Ned Flanders but Ned can't see him. Ray then leaves when Homer's family returns. Homer then spends all night waiting for Ray and goes to get shingles for Bart the next day. Homer sees Ray there but Bart can't see Ray at all. Homer then gets sent to the Calmwood Mental Hospital and discovers he was hallucinating Ray because he was lonely and needed a friend and no one even the bartender at Knockers saw Ray. When Homer sees Ray through the window of the hospital and Homer is declared mental. Homer is forced to stay at the hospital for six weeks and fails all his tests and then his family, Ned, the bartender at Knockers, and Ray come to get Homer and tell Homer Ray was real after all. The bartender did see Ray but didn't see him when Homer was next to him. Ned couldn't see Ray because Ray was hiding behind the chimeny, but Bart does not get why he did not see Ray. Stephen Hawking then says the tons of shingles at Builder's Barn created a mini black hole which created a space time continum meaning anyone behind Ray or a few feet away from Ray can't see him and no one gets what Stephen Hawking is saying not even Lisa who pretends to get what he is saying. Marge then asks Ray why he started fixing the roof and stopped and Ray said he stopped because he is a contractor and Homer did not sign a contract. The problem is then solved when Homer and Ray sit on the roof drinking beer and Dr. Hibbert fixes the roof for Homer.
