Post by bunniefuu »

- Coming up next on Odd Squad.
- I love Soundcheck!

- They have a new song!
- What happened?

- It had chairs
and now there's only !

- All tires
of my minivan disappeared.

- I quit!
- But we need to fix this!

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is a bird I saw.

But back to Otto and me.
We work for an organisation

run by kids that investigates
anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things
right again.

(theme music)

- Aaah!

- Yeah!
- Hey!

- (Olive): Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

- I'm always telling
my brother: you keep

eating those cheesy curls,
you're gonna turn into one.

- Not to worry, sir, we have
an "Uncheesy-curl-nayer."

- And you said
we'd never use it.

- Donny! My only brother!

I missed you!
Welcome back, brother!

- Our work here is done.

Go Bears!

- I'm glad that's over. Ha!

Donny, no, no!

You just can't control yourself.

No, no, sit there.
Watch the game. Like that.

- The Bears are moving the ball.

Here comes the shot.
It's a basket!

And the Bears win the game!
Wham-o!

(meows)

- Partner?
- Olive, you'll never

believe what band came out
with a brand-new song.

- Don't say Soundcheck.
- Soundcheck.

It's called Take away .

- ♪♪ Suddenly, out of the blue ♪

♪ You stole my heart
before I could ♪

♪ Give it to you
- So much to feel ♪

♪ But nothing to say
- 'Cause you take ♪

♪ 'Cause you take,
you take my breath away now ♪

♪ Take away , take away ♪

♪ Take away ,
take away breath from me ♪

♪ And you take away
Whoa oh oh ♪

♪ and and and , baby
I've been keeping score ♪

♪ There's nothing left for me ♪

♪ 'Cause you take away ♪♪

- How can you like them?
They're so...

yeeee.
- Who's "yeee"?

- This band, Soundcheck.
They have a new song.

- Soundcheck!?
I love Soundcheck!

I have to get that song, stat!

Otto, go to the town square.

Odd stuff happening!
Soundcheck, woo-hoo!

Soundcheck! Soundcheck!
Soundcheck! Soundcheck!
Soundcheck!

(roars like a lion)
- So I'm driving around

in my minivan having
a day of it,

listening to my favourite
new song by Soundcheck.

- You mean, Take away ?
- Yeah!

- ♪ Take away ,
take away ♪

♪ Take away ,
take away breath from me ♪

- Can we maybe just not
with the singing?

- So anyway,

I had to stop driving
'cause all tires of
my minivan disappeared.

- That is odd!

- Odd Squad! Odd Squad!
Odd Squad!

Oh! Am I happy to see you!

I was in my bakery listening
to my new favourite song

by Soundcheck.
- Take away ?

- Uh, yeah!

- ♪ Take away , take away
take away ♪

♪ Take away breath from me ♪

♪ And you take away
Ooh, whoa-oh ♪

- Why is this my life?
- Anyway,

I put bagels into the oven

and when I took them out
and sliced them,

well, look!
- , , , ,

, , , .
There's only !

- I know.
- But why are tires

and bagels disappearing?

- ♪ Tires and bagels
are circles ♪

- Partner, you really have to?!

Wait. You're right.

They're both circles.

- But who loves circles so much
they would go around

stealing them from other people?

(both gasping)
Circle Sue!

- ♪ Whoa oh oh ♪

(neighs like a horse)

- Listen, kiddos, I am so not
a circle gal these days.

I've straightened out;
I'm totally into triangles now.

- So you didn't take
the circles?
- No way.

But I can help you get to the
bottom of this. And we can start

by listening
to my favourite new jam.

- Don't say Soundcheck!
- Soundcheck!

- ♪♪ You take
my breath away now ♪

♪ Take away ,
take away ♪

♪ Take away ,
take away ♪

♪ Breath from me and you
take away ♪
(She screams.)

♪ Whoa oh oh!
and and and , baby
I've been keeping score ♪

- What happened?
- ♪ Nothing left for me ♪♪

- My table!

It had triangle chairs
and now there's only !

- But if triangles
just disappeared,

then it definitely can't be
a circle problem.

- Then what is it?
- I don't know.

But I do know...

I have to go the Mathroom.

- And I need to spend some time

in my... safe place.

Oh yeah, that's better.

Hmm...

Ah...

- Greetings, agents!

- Hi, Mathroom.
OK, so first,

we saw wheels disappear,

then bagels,
then triangle chairs.

Let's see if we can
find a pattern.

Mathroom, make us
some counters.

- (Mathroom): Generate--
- Wait. What kind of counters?

Kitchen counters?
Bathroom counters?

- No. Counters are like little
versions of the real thing,

so we can see what happened.
We can make them look like

chairs, wheels, and bagels.

- I like bagels.
Generating counters.

- Let's start with chairs.

So we start with ...

then they went down to .

How many were taken away?
- The number in that pile.

, , , .

I call bagels!
- OK, OK, they're yours.

We started with ,

and then we had .

So , , ,
were taken away.

- Last, the wheels.

We had .
- And then we had none. Zero!

- All were taken away.
- Hey!

It's like the song
Take away .

♪ And you take away
Oh whoa oh ♪

This is usually the part
where you stop me.

- I won't
because you're absolutely right.

Every time your song played,

something disappeared.
Take away

is actually taking away !

- If music is the problem, then

maybe music is the answer.

- What are you looking at?

- (whispering): Music.

- Right now, you say
"Take away " times.

That's why a total of things
are being taken away.

- Our song is doing that?
That's crazy town, yo!

- It's wiggly wacked.
- You guys are crazy town, yo!

Tony D, Danny T,

Ringo, Johnny J,

I know all your names.
My name's Otto.

(whispering): Big fan.
- I think what my partner

is trying to say is
we have a fix.

If you change the words,
so each of you sings,

"gonna add ,"
it will add back,

and everything will
go back to normal.

- Count us in, yo!
- No!

I'm an artist and
I won't change my song. I quit!

- What? Danny, no!
- Not again!

Sorry, Odd Squad,
looks like it's a bust.

- What?! Why?

- There's only three of us;
we need four to sing the song.

- But we need to fix this!
- Well, the only way

would be to find someone who can
sing, knows all our moves, and

willing to use an uncomfortable
amount of hair gel.

- Soundcheck.

- You know how I always said

Soundcheck was...
(She mumbles like an idiot.)

- Yeah?

- I feel the exact same way.

But good job.

- Yes. When Gonna add

was playing across town,
you fixed everything missing .

BUT you also added
to everything else!
(Olive gasping)

These are images sent in
from Odd Squad agents

all over the world.

The only solution
is to play Take away

and Gonna Add
at the same time

forever and ever.

(dramatic music)

- I joined because bananas
shouldn't cry when you eat them.

- I joined because lights
should turn on and off

whether you're wearing
a purple helmet or not.

- I joined because your teeth
should be for chewing food,

not playing piano.

(little piano tune playing)

- We are...
- We are...

- We are...

- We are Odd Squad.

Since the beginning of time,

and we're talking way back,

we've been fighting odd.

In our spare time,
we also went

to draw pictures of ourselves.

We really like this one.

There's no case too big,

no case too small.

At Odd Squad, we do it all.

And yes,
that is flying broccoli.

- Every morning,
I make donuts.

Except today, I can't because...

(He sighs.)
...my body's missing.

- Hmmm...

"Body-put-back-n-ator"?

- I was thinking
"Return-body-n-ator."

- Really?
- Yeah. I mean,

we can rock-paper-
scissors for it.
- Deal. Best out of .

- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Guys!
I've got donuts to make!

Just zap me with both.
- Uh-huh.

On ?

, ,

!

- Thank you.
- Have a good day, sir.

- Bye, Odd Squad.

Oh! That's not good.

(bleats like a sheep)

- You want to see us, Ms. O?
- Something very odd
has happened.

You know Debbie from Debbie's
Pizza Delivery?
- Hi.

- Hi!
- Of course we do!

- ♪♪ Delivery Debbie ♪

♪ The best pizza you'll find ♪

♪ Call Debbie,
she's one of a kind ♪

- Finished?

- ♪ Order today ♪♪

- Now, we are.

What seems to be
the problem, Debbie?

- Well, I was in my pizzeria,
and it was really busy.

Debbie Delivery.
(indistinct talking on phone)

For one large double-cheese?
Yeah, no problem.

Oh! Can you hold on
just one second?

Hello! Debbie's Delivery.

One medium pepperoni. That's
fine. I can do that. No problem.

(phones ringing)
Oh! Please hold just
for a moment. Thank you.

OK.

Debbie's Delivery.

Yes, I said...
Yeah, sure.

When suddenly...

(screaming)
Then it got worse.

(Debbie screaming)

(everyone screaming)

And then I came here.
- Sounds like you got
a case of the doubles.

- The what?
- You know when you're so busy,

you wish there were of you?
When you have the doubles,

you actually make of you.

- But there's of you.

- That's because
it happened times.

Agent Orson made this report.

When you double a number,
you add that number to itself.

- So it started with Debbie.

Then and made .

Then and made .

- And now for
the really bad news.

One of the doubles is missing!

- Hey, guys, now
for the really, really bad news.

My watch stopped working!

Also, I can't fix this
unless I've all the doubles.

- Olive, you go with Debbie
and find that double.

- But how?
- Your double should
think and act just like you.

What would you be doing
at this time of day?

- It's Wednesday, lunch,

I always deliver a pizza
to , Rosewood Avenue.

- Let's go!
- OK.

- Otto, keep the other doubles
out of trouble.

- Try saying that times fast.

(She says it times
extremely fast.)

- She is
one impressive lady. Ha!

(mooing)

- I haven't seen
your double anywhere.

- Oh...
- Same goes for my pizza.

- I'm sorry, I'll get
one out to you right away.

Never mind, I'll just order
from someplace else.

(Debbie sighs.)
- This is terrible!

- Hey you!

Odd Squad, arrest this woman!
- Yeah, we don't really do that.

Can you just tell us
what happened?

- I was sitting at my house over
there at , Rosewood Avenue
when she showed up

and made me buy pizzas
that weren't mine!

- That wasn't me;
it was my double.
- Also, if those pizzas

weren't yours,
how come you paid for them?

- I'm the one asking
the questions here,

like how do I get rid of
this tummy ache after
eating pizzas?

- You ate both of them?
- Again with the questions!

That's it! I'm never
not ordering from you again!

- Oh, my double is ruining my
business; we have to catch her.

- If she's making pizza,
maybe we can catch her

at your pizzeria. Let's go!

(sound of lasso twirling)

- Uh, Ms. O?

- This better be good.

(Otto sighs.)

- I just want to say
how happy I am

to be working at Odd Squad.
- But...?

- How come Olive gets to do
all the cool stuff

and I'm stuck here
doing the not-cool stuff,

like babysitting
Debbie's doubles.

- Otto, I want
to tell you a story.

- OK.
- There was once a baby bird,

and he was new to the nest.

And this baby bird
had an older sister

who'd been in the nest
a lot longer

than the baby bird.
You're with me so far?

- Sure.
- Good. 'Cause one day,

the baby bird decided
to fly out of the nest.

That's when he flew - smack! -
into a black hole,

travelled back in time
and found himself

working at a hot-dog stand
in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

- Mm-hmm!
- Before this little bird

even knew it,
the mayor of Albuquerque

showed up asking
if he had permission

to run his hot-dog stand.
And guess what?

- He didn't have permission?

- Exactly.
- Wait.

Are you trying to tell me
I'm the baby bird?

- Nope, just wanted to tell you
a story, which I did.

Now, get back downstairs
and babysit those Debbies!

(She sighs.)
I'm really getting
too young for this.

- That's my pizza place,
right up there!

Oh no!
- What?

- It's Delivery Doug!
- Well, well, well,

if it isn't Delivery Debbie.

Or should I call you
Not-Delivery Debbie?

- Out of the way, Doug,
we're busy.

- Ha! Ha! If anyone is busy
around here, it's me!

My business has been
booming thanks to you.

- You deliver pizza too?
- No. Egg-salad sandwiches.

(cell phone ringing)
"Eggscuse-me."

Delivery Doug,
how can I help you?
(indistinct talking on phone)

You have the wrong number. OK.

The point is I'm going to be
taking all of your customers
who are gonna make me

a ton of money, with which
I will buy a boat

on which I will go sailing
with all my cousins.

(Doug laughs.)
- I really gotta find my double.

- Agreed.
- Yeah.

(klaxon)
- OK, Debbies,

here are some
of my favourite magazines

and some snacks.
Now, if you'll excuse me,

I've got some work to do.

♪♪♪

- (Debbies): Hi.
- Hi.

(Ding!)

(He gasps.)

- Hi.
- Hi-hi.
- Hi.

(Otto gasps.)

- Hi-hi.
- Hi-hi.

- Hi.

(He gasps.)
- Hi-hi.

- Would you leave me alone?
I've got a ton of paperwork.

- Paperwork.
- Paperwork.

- You like paperwork?

I have an idea.

(cuckoo ringing)

(sigh)

- Sorry, Debbie. I don't see
your double anywhere.

- There she is!
- Let me guess,

one of you is supposed
to get a pizza and didn't.

- Yeah, me.
- And one of you got
a pizza you didn't order.

- Yeah, me.
- Oh, my business is ruined!

(odd cell phone ringing)

- A go for Olive.
- Hey, partner, great news.

I finished all my work
plus yours!

And these Debbies are awesome.

Only bad thing is
Ms. O will be getting

copies of everything.
- What do you mean, copies?

- The doubles do
everything double. Right, guys?

- Right-right.
- Right-right.
- "Do double everything."

I got to go. I think I know
how to find your double.

- What? How?
- When you double a number,

you add that number to itself.

Your first pizza was supposed
to go , Rosewood Avenue,

but your double delivered it
to , Rosewood Avenue,

because plus is !

She doubled the address.
Where was your next

pizza going?
- To me at , Oak Street.

- But I bet she delivered it
to , Oak Street instead,

because when you add
to , you get .

- That's right.
I live at , Oak Street,

and your pizza was delicious!

I don't even know why I'm upset.
- Was there any other deliveries
deliveries planned today?

- Uh, yeah, this afternoon,
I'm supposed to go

to , Main Street.
- But if I'm right,

your double is gonna
double that number.

And plus is...
, Main Street!

Let's go.

Hello, Debbie.
- Hi. Hi.

- OK, Debbie,
you just hold still

and I'll zap 'em
back into you. Ha! Ha!

- Oscar...

can we just have a minute?
- Yeah.

(Otto sighs.)

- Debbie, I just want to thank
you for all your help today.

I couldn't have done it
without you.

- Thank you.

(Debbie crying)
- Other Debbie...

I'll never forget everything
you've done for me, twice!

And Debbie, I think you were
the one that was missing...

and I just wish I got
a chance to know you better.

- OK, Otto, that's enough.
- It's not fair!

These Debbies are amazing! Are
we just gonna get rid of them?

- Hold on.
I think Otto's got a point.

The reason you started doubling
was because you had

so many pizzas to make
and no one to help.
- Yeah?

- So, if Otto

can get them to help
with his work, maybe,

with a little training,
Debbie can do the same.

- Greetings, agents. I'm Oscar
with today's Odd Report.

And this is my new lab coat.

You can tell it's new,
because I just said it was.

Now, let's take a look about
what's going on around town.

As you can see,
we have patches of invisibility

here, here and here.

Also, there's some low-flying
watermelons forming
from the west.

Yeah, a real problem,
and it's a doozy,

is that there's a double storm
forming here.

Now, anything the storm hits,
that thing is gonna double.

When you double a number,
you add that number to itself.

So let's take the gerbils
at the Johnson house.

O'Connor, can we bring up
a picture?

Sweet!

plus gerbils is gerbils.

No biggie,
the Johnsons might even think

this is kind of cute.

But if the storm sticks around
for any longer,

things are gonna keep doubling.
And when you keep

doubling a number,
that number gets big fast.

gerbils plus gerbils
is gerbils.

Add to itself: gerbils.

Double ? gerbils.

Double ? .

Double ? gerbils!

Which is why we're asking
all agents

who aren't already on cases
to help out with this.

And bring gerbil food.
And a banana

just in case you happen
to come across a monkey
or if you get hungry.

I'm just saying,
anything could happen.

- My name is Oscar.
I work in the Odd Squad lab

and I build gadgets
to help with cases.

- (Ms. O): OSCAR!
- Sorry.

But I'm not all about gadgets.
This white coat has
seen some dirt.

Uh, , .

Now, do I make mistakes? Yes.

The question is: do I make
the same mistakes twice?

Yes. Sometimes times
in a row.

- You cloned yourself?!
- No! What am I?

Crazy? They're robots.

One of my favourites days
at Odd Squad was when they
ran a top-secret mission

with Ms. O.
- Prepare the canoe!

The big one.

- The brain helmets
are in place!

- Thanks for your help.
- I did what had to be done.

Ugh, I guess I shouldn't
really be talking about this...

'cause that's mistakes.
