01x12 - Best Seats in the House/Agent Obfusco

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

- We can't bring them with us. - Can we have them?

- Sure. - Hands off our chairs!

- They said<span> we<span> can have them. (all screaming)

- It's showtime! - What kind of mission is this?

- I don't have time to explain!

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is what I had for dinner last night.

But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organization run by kids, that investigates

anything strange, weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

(moaning)

Who do we work for?

We work for<span> Odd Squad.

- I'm so glad you're here, Odd Squad.

- What seems to be the problem?

- Donny and I were having a picnic and then...

this happened.

- (both): Whoa! - Odd Squad, I'm so glad you're here!

- I already said that, Donny. - How am I supposed to know?

I'm in a picnic basket! - Don't make this about you!

- This is not about me! - Donny this!

- Hey! - You want us to help you fix this or not?

- (both): Please! - How'd you know we'd need the Picnicanator gadget?

- I didn't. I always carry it. Stand back!

- Donny! Finally, brother! I'm glad you're okay!

Thanks, Odd Squad! - Happy to help.

- Enjoy your picnic. Let's go.

- They always come through, no matter what.

- Brilliant. - Hey, what do you say we have that picnic?

- Let's do it, man. Ha-ha! - Oh no!

- (both): Our only sister! Connie!

Odd Squad! (boat whistle)

(phone ringing in background) - So that's how we don't know which one came first,

the Chickenator gadget or the Egganator gadget.

- Hi Olive, hi Otto. Just wanted to stop by and say goodbye.

- Goodbye? - Yeah, we're being transferred to another Odd Squad office.

- Wow! I feel like I haven't seen you guys in, like, forever.

- Me neither.

Have I seen them before? - You know Oda and Odelis.

Their desk is in the hall.

- Oh yeah! The guys with the chairs!

(angel music) - Yeah.

Unfortunately, we can't bring them with us.

- Mr. O has a strict no-fancy-chair policy.

- Wait! Can we have them? - Sure.

- Yes! - (both): Boomchair-lata!

- Anyways, you guys take care of yourselves. We need to bounce.

- Nice work, partner. Let's...

Where'd they go?! - I don't know!

- (both): Hey! (laughing)

- Hands off our chairs!

- Oda and Odelis said we<span> could have them.

- No, they said we<span> could have them!

- Run!

(jumble of voices and screams)

- Stop!

I'm sure there's a way to share these chairs.

- Cut? - (both): No! No!

- No! - I have a better idea.

To the meeting room!

Table!

Here's what I was thinking.

There are months in one year.

And since is an even number,

we can split the year evenly.

We can divide the time we use the chairs.

- (guys): Oh!

- Otto and I will get the chairs in January.

Then you and Olaf in February.

Then we'll get them back in March

and you guys will get them in April and so on.

- Sounds good. - That'll work. (howling like a wolf)

Wait a minute!

Olaf's right! This is totally unfair! Look.

January has days

and February only has .

And since you guys are getting the chairs in January, you'll have the chairs

more days than us. (howling)

Well, wouldn't you know it! Olaf is right again!

March has days and April only has .

You guys are cheating! - No! It was an honest mistake.

I just forgot that some months have more days than others.

(howling)

What's he saying now? - He was just howling.

- Let's get Ms. O to settle this.

Ms. O, we had a- Whoa! (speaking in code)

- There's no room for air! Do you hear me?

- Ms. O?

- What are you doing here? - What are<span> you<span> doing here?

- Running a top-secret mission. So whatever it is you want, it better be Important.

(all arguing and screaming)

STOOOOOP!!!

You're interrupting this mission to talk to me about chairs?!

- In fairness, they're not just chairs. They have footrests...

- A mini-fridge, music player, joysticks...

Comfy! - Yeah. And they're comfy.

- Octavia has located the Sword of Antioch!

- The four of you need to leave! Now!!!

- But the chairs? - Fine! Whoever solved the most cases last week

wins the chairs. Now go!

- It's too powerful!

- Ms. O, I need a decision here.

- Prepare the canoe. The big one.

Let's figure this out. - [Big canoe coming through! Over.]

- Ms. O said whoever solved the most cases last week.

The st day of the week is Sunday, right over here.

And the last day of the week is Saturday, right here.

- Let's start counting so Olaf and I can start sitting.

- Yay! - You wish!

I have all our solved cases written down in my journal book.

- (whining): I have all my solved cases written down

in my journal book.

(normal): What? I really do.

- According to my notes,

we solved one case every day this week.

- So that's cases. - How'd you add that up so fast?

- A week has days.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.

If we solved one case per day,

that equals cases altogether.

- Oh yeah! ♪ We solved cases ♪

♪ We solved cases ♪ - Hold on, Risotto!

Olaf and I also solved cases.

And that was just on Monday. - What about the rest of the week?

- Nothing. The rest of the week was slow.

- So if you got cases

and we solved cases, we're equal. It's a tie!

- [Big canoe clearing the room.] - (all): Ms. O!

Whoa!

- The brain helmets are in place!

(fast beeps) - We need more balloons.

This is not gonna work!

- Uh, Ms. O?

- You again? This better not be about the chairs.

- It is! (all arguing and screaming)

- Are you kidding me?!

All right, I can see by your faces you're not kidding me.

- [I have the ambassador.]

[I repeat: I have the ambassador.]

[We're on a move.]

- All right, people! It's showtime!

(foreign language) - I repeat.

- What kind of mission is this? - I don't have time to explain!

The four of you need to skedaddle!

- Is Oscar getting his hair cut?

- It's part of the mission!

- But who gets the chairs?

- How about this?

Whoever has a birthday closest to mine gets both chairs.

No go! - Here, Ms. O.

I'll tell the tube room that you're on your way. - Don't bother.

There's another way.

Preparing to squish me!

Squishanating!

- We all know Ms. O's birthday is on November th, right here.

And she said whoever's birthday was closest to hers,

that's who gets the chairs.

Olaf, when's your birthday? - I'm Olaf!

- His birthday's October rd.

- Okay, Olaf's birthday is here.

- Aw man! I'm all the way over here!

January th.

- Too bad so sad. My birthday is November th.

Look how close it is to Ms. O's.

We be splittin', then we be sittin'. - Yay!

- Hold on. My birthday is December th.

- So? It's not even in the same month as Ms. O's.

And plus, it's after<span> her birthday.

- That doesn't matter.

She just said who was the closest. If you count the days,

December th is , , ,

, , , , ,

, days after Ms. O's birthday.

- And my birthday is , , ,

, , , ,

, , days before her birthday.

- Seriously?! Another tie?

- The eagle has landed! I repeat: The eagle has landed!

Oh! Also, our TV's back.

Come on!

(trumpet sounding)

(applause)

- Welcome home, Ambassador.

Nice work, Octavia. - Pleasure, Ms. O.

- OSCAR!!! - Yes, Ms. O.

- Thanks for your help. Sorry you had to cut your hair.

- I did what had to be done. Also, I kinda like it this way.

- Uh, Ms. O?

- Let me guess, you're still trying to figure out who gets the chairs?

- (all): Yes!

- I think I have a solution.

(cat purring and Otto sighing)

- I guess that settles that.

- It's probably for the best. - Just one question.

Who gets the super cool desk lamps?

(angel music)

- Cut?

- Yeah, sure. That'll work. - I don't see why not.

- We're gonna rule the world!

- Greetings, agents. Got time between cases?

Why not head down to the Odd Squad Games Room?

It features lots of odd games, like Blob Billiards...

Super Miniature Golf...

or, my favorite, football!

(crowd cheering) There are also classes.

On March th, Agent Olaf is teaching underwater tennis.

(screaming in joy)

When is March th? It's easy to tell with a calendar.

There it is. The st Wednesday of the month.

You like baloney? You like hats?

Then you'll love baloney hat making classes

taught by Agent Obfusco.

- Nutritious... and fashionable.

(western music)

- Baloney hat making class happens on week-ends -

so every Saturday and Sunday.

And I teach cheese wrestling every Thursday.

Agh! Come here! Oh!

This is a feisty one!

So every Thursday would be...

March th, th, th and th.

Finally, be sure to join us on the last day of the month,

Tuesday the st, for soccer!

With dinosaurs! (growling)

- So when did you turn into a pirate?

- Yar! It was about

days ago that me shivers got timbered!

- Parrot ray? - Parrot ray.

- Thanks, Odd Squad. - Now if you'll excuse us.

- Wait! What about all the buried treasure I found?

I mean... never mind! It's cool.

(bleating)

- Cushionating!

Incoming!

- (both): O'Mara.

- So, as I was saying, if you zap a person

that isn't a pirate with a parrot ray, wouldn't they turn into a pirate?

- Otto, I'm not zapping you with the parrot ray!

- There you two are! - What's the problem, Ms. O?

- Something very odd has happened. Let me see your badges!

Blech! Yep, they've expired.

- What does that mean?

- It means we have to take the Odd Squad test again.

- And if you fail, you'll be kicked off the force!

- But I just joined the Odd Squad!

- Ha-ha! Steady, partner. You passed the test once. You'll pass it again.

- The test will be given by Agent Obfusco.

- Aah! We're gonna fail! - You just said we'd be fine!

- That was before I knew Obfusco was giving it!

He's impossible to understand! (screaming)

- Ah! Agent .

Agent .

You remind me of butterflies

on the wing of a dove flying to Nicaragua...

for winter.

- See?

Please, is there anyone else that can give us the test?

- Absolutely...

(sighing) Not!

- Your test begins... in the Math Room.

- But we don't have our badges anymore.

- There's another way to get to the Math Room.

The Portalnator.

Yah!

- What are you waiting for? Yah! Yah!

- Yah?

(mooing)

- Aaah!

Ah!

Smooth as ketchup on a sweater made of sand!

- What? - Don't ask me.

- Every Odd Squad agent must know how to use the tubes.

Math Room! - Generating tubes.

- Find the one that goes to...

the park!

- But none of them are labeled.

- Truer words were spoken by a cheetah

on roller skates.

I will give you a hint.

Milady.

- "The tube to the zoo

"is number .

"The tube to the park

"is more than the one to the zoo.

I can make soup in my hat."

(slurping)

- Delicious. - How is this a hint?

- Hang on, partner. Maybe there's something useful in here.

Let's break it down into steps. Like a word problem.

- All right. What are we trying to find?

- Tube to the park. - And what do we know?

- "The tube to the zoo is number ."

So we know that. Math Room?

- Are there any other words

that could help us figure out what to do?

- "The tube to the park is more

than the one to the zoo."

"More than." That's addition.

So start at and then add .

- ...

, , , , .

plus equals ! That means the tube to the park is tube !

- (both): We did it!

- Hip! Hip! Hip!

Congratulations, my beautiful toothbrushes!

But though we're after the beginning, we're before the end.

And in between, the middle, there...

- We get it! There's more to the test.

- Name every agent

♪ Oh ♪

- Like freckles on a pillow,

you've passed each challenge...

except one!

Gadget identification.

- Easy. That's the Puddinganator.

- How'd you know? - Because it does this!

- My partner! - Final challenge.

Figure out which of these gadgets is the Unpuddinganator.

Math Room! - Generating images.

- But... I've never seen an Unpuddinganator before!

- A hint.

Yeah, just take it off my head.

- "The gadget to turn him back has less buttons than the Puddinganator.

Also, I am an excellent dancer."

- It's true.

- Okay, break it down into steps.

I'm looking for the gadget to turn Otto back.

And I know... Obfusco can dance.

- Whoo-hoo! Still going! - Ugh!

Which is info I don't need.

I also know...

"the gadget has less buttons than the Puddinganator."

How many buttons does that have?

- , , , . - Okay.

So if I'm looking for less, that's subtraction.

So buttons minus buttons is...

buttons.

That one!

- Correcto! - I'm coming for you, partner!

- You did it, Olive!

(sighing) - But...

like a candle on the moon, you were too slow.

- But you never said we were being timed!

- Be that as it may,

Odd Squad agents you are not.

- But we did exactly as- We did everything- - No.

As my flamingo friends would say...

(cawing)

Goodbye!

Yah! (moaning)

Help! Help!

I'm stuck! - What do we do?

- Shut off the Portalnator. - How?

- There's a shut-off code. It's very easy.

I thought of it at : on March th, .

I was apple picking with kangaroos.

We played salsa music and danced like we were young again!

That's when I decided the shut-off code is --.

- Argh! This guy!

Okay, so it was : in and he had kangaroos.

Then they played salsa music... - Olive, stop.

- But we need to save him! - Yes, you do!

- We can!

At the very end, Obfusco said the shut-off code is --!

That's all the information we need to know!

The rest... is Obfusco!

- Okay. - Oh! Something just bit me!

Help!

- , , .

Where'd he go?! - I don't know! I can't see him!

(startled yells) - Thank you, my "wisdomouses".

I have only one thing to say.

You pass.

- Once we ignored Agent Obfusco's useless information,

it wasn't so hard.

- Your new badges. - Thanks, Ms. O.

- And thank you, Obfusco.

You are a man of many flowers and few racoons.

- Don't make me cry.

- Very nice.

Now what are you standing around for?!

Go fix something odd!

- On it, Ms. O.

- By the way, is it weird that I miss pink pudding?

- Yes.

I joined because phones should ring,

not make toast.

- I joined because bookstores should be full of books,

not pickles.

- I joined because I should drink out of my mouth,

not my toe.

(toe slurping)

Ah! Refreshing.

- (one after the other): We are...

- We are Odd Squad.

Since the beginning of time -

and we're taking way back -

we've been fighting on.

In our spare time, we also like to draw pictures of ourselves.

We really like this one.

There's no case too big...

no case too small.

At<span> Odd Squad,<span> we do it all!

And yes, that is flying broccoli.

Jo<span> - My name is Agent Oren.<span> rg a- I'm Olaf!

- Olaf, this is my interview!

As I was saying, I'm Oren.

I'm not the bragging type

but I am the best agent the squad's got.

Some other things you might not know about me is that

I'm a very good sharer.

(all arguing and screaming)

I'm a hard worker... - What are you doing?

- What does it look like we're doing? We're working.

One piece of advice to give the other agents:

If Ms. O offers to send you

to Blobsylvania to count blobs,

do... not... go.

- Was it ?

Oh, we have to start all over again!

- Yay! - Will you stop saying that?! One...

I'm still cleaning the blob out of everywhere!

(buzzer sound)

(suspense music)

(pitter-patter)
