[Ada speaking]

Your mom makes
the crunchiest graham crackers, Iggy.

I know, right? They're, mmm, delicious!

-Let's save some for--
-[doorbell rings]

-Rosie!
-Rosie!

Hi-ya! Get it? Hi, ya?

-Hi, Rosie.
-Hey, Rosie.

Here, we saved some of my mom's
graham crackers for you.

Thanks! Yum!

So crunchy, so delicious.

Crunch-a-licious.

-How was your first karate class?
-I loved it!

Even though technically
I'm in the beginner's class,

I know I'll get to the next level
in no time.

I heard it takes a lot of practice
to get good at karate.

Well, I don't wanna brag,

but I'm kind of a natural.

Check out these moves.

The Glitter Jab.

Yah!

-Whoa! Nice!
-Ooh!

The Unicorn Kick.

Ki-yah!

-What?!
-Cool!

The Rainbow Roundhouse.

Hi-yah!

[Iggy and Ada] Wow!

I've never seen karate moves like that.

Yeah, that dojo seems made for you, Rosie.

Well, I made up those moves.

This is what my teacher Sensei Dave
actually taught me.

Ch. Ch. Ch. Ch. Ch.

Sensei Dave says it's supposed
to build focus or something.

He's always saying,
"Be calm. Be swift. Succeed."

I like calm. And swiftness.

Oh! And success.

Yeah, those moves look pretty cool.

But it's so boring.

I wanna skip to the fun parts
and smash stuff in half,

like Professor Flowerbomb
does in her videos.

She has some real moves. Let's watch some!

-Sure.
-Okay. Dad!

Wanna holler louder?
I don't think they heard you on the moon.

Sorry. Can we use the computer, please?

We want to watch Rosie's wrestling hero,
Professor Flowerbomb.

Oh, she is fierce.

The fiercest!

Woo, this is gonna be good!

This is Professor Flowerbomb!

I have a PhD in power!

-Class is in session!
-Yeah!

Scholar smash!

College bash!

Mid-term smackdown!

[yells]

[all cheer and laugh]

Mind blown.

You're welcome. Don't go smashing
any of my furniture now.

See? Wasn't that awesome?

I wanna do what Professor Flowerbomb did.

Don't you need a black belt
to smash stuff?

Yep. Got one right here.

Ta-da!

What should I smash first? [gasps]

-[Rosie yells]
-Wait!

My dad just said
we can't smash the furniture.

Oh, I guess you're right.
I'm just so excited!

-Let's go outside.
-Good idea. Come on!

-What about this, Rosie?
-Perfect.

If Professor Flowerbomb can smash bricks,

a tiny little board's
gonna be a piece of cake.

You guys might wanna stand back,

'cause I'm about to bring
the Super Rosie Power Punch.

[Rosie yells]

-Rosie?
-Are you okay?

Yep. It only hurts a little.

But it didn't work.

I powered up and flexed my muscles
like Professor Flowerbomb does.

So why can't I smash
a little board in half?

Good question.

This is a mystery, a riddle,
a puzzle, a quest!

♪ A mystery, a riddle
A puzzle, or a quest ♪

♪ When I don't know the answer
To a question or a query ♪

[all] ♪ Why, why, why, why? ♪

[Rosie and Iggy] ♪ My curiosity
Leads to discovery ♪

[all] ♪ Why, why, why, why? ♪

♪ We're ready to go
The g*ng's all here ♪

♪ Another adventure
With the Questioneers ♪

♪ Don't know what we'll find ♪

♪ But it's fun to try ♪

♪ That's why I ♪

[all] ♪ Ask why! ♪

Wait, I got it.

Betcha if I had more muscles,

I could smash things in half
like Professor Flowerbomb.

-But how are you gonna get muscles?
-I know what gets my brain buff.

-Brain push-ups.
-Brain jumping jacks!

A brainstorm!

-Right.
-Oh!

[gasps] I have an idea.

Rosie Rule number 32
is always have balloons, right?

We could pump up your arms
until they're big balloon muscles.

[Rosie] But what if my arms
pop like a balloon?

Ah, good point.

Um, what about troll juice?

That's how trolls get swole.
That means buff.

I don't know. My mom always says,
"You are what you eat."

Hmm. You're right. I like being Rosie.

I don't wanna be Trollsie.

I know! We can make you
four muscly robot arms.

[gasps] Ooh, great idea!

But it's against karate rules

to chop stuff
with anything except your own hands.

Disqualified.

Makes sense. I didn't think about that.

Hmm, there has to be
a way for me to get muscles.

Maybe instead of buff robot arms,

we can help you
get your own muscles with weights.

-That's a great idea.
-I love it! Let's do it!

But you might not get muscles fast.

My mom works out a lot,
and she says it takes time.

I don't wanna brag,
but if anyone can do it, I can.

Okay, we'll work out with you.

We need equipment. Loading the lab.

[thrilling music plays]

[Ada] We're gonna need these.

Ooh, let's get physical!

[Ada panting]

[Iggy panting]

[Rosie panting]

[groans]

Why?!

Maybe you need to go slower?

But I need to get muscles fast!

[Ada panting]

[Iggy strains]

[Rosie strains]

[Rosie] Whoa! [groans]

Aw, man!

You gotta take your time, Rosie.

But I want muscles now!

[panting] Whew.

[Iggy strains]

[Rosie grunts]

Why won't it move?

[grunts]

-Try pushing fewer toys, Rosie.
-Fewer toys, fewer muscles.

[grunts]

-[sighs]
-[Rosie groans]

Aw, phooey! My arms look exactly the same.

No muscles.

And they're all noodle-y. [groans]

I wanted to get big muscles
and do a karate chop,

but this is a karate flop! [groans]

-I should just quit.
-Come on, Rosie.

There's no quitting in karate or science.

We'll figure it out.

I wish someone could just teach Rosie
how to break boards.

A teacher!

Rosie, maybe Sensei Dave has some tips.

Maybe he has a video
like Professor Flowerbomb.

Uh, we can check, but he's a little guy,

not big and strong
like Professor Flowerbomb.

I don't think he knows how to break stuff.

Well, let's see.

All right, let's see.
Oh, boom! Sensei Dave.

-"Be Calm, Be Swift, Succeed?"
-Yeah, that's him.

Can you click on the video
about smashing stuff?

So you wanna smash stuff?

Well, we have a great video today.

Guess what? Being able to smash stuff
is all about physics.

-Whoa!
-Really?

This is Dr. Ronald McNair.

He was a physicist and an astronaut
who had a black belt

and wrote about the physics of karate.

Cool, right?

A karate scientist?

-Wow.
-Awesome!

Dr. McNair said,
"To chop a stack of bricks in half,

you need practice and precision."

That means
doing it the same way every time.

To do that, you need to use
force and momentum

focused on a small area.

Make your hand sharp.

Line it up with the center.
A small area that's also the weakest.

Use force and momentum

and visualize your hand chopping through
to the other side. Ki-yah!

-Amazing!
-Cool!

He broke all those bricks,

and he didn't even have
to flex his muscles or anything. [gasps]

So it's not all about
strength and power at all.

Nope, it's about physics.
Force and momentum.

And precision.

Engineers have to be precise
or things could fall apart.

I wanna try again.

But not with a whole stack of boards.
That'll take a lot more practice.

-All right!
-[Rosie] Thanks, Mr. T.

Visualize myself chopping through
to the other side of this graham cr*cker.

Ki-yah!

[Ada] Remember, make your hand sharp,
like a knife.

Line it up in the center.

Use force, momentum, visualize and…

[inhales]

[exhales]

[crowd cheering]

[Rosie breathes deeply]

Ki-yah!

[sighs] It didn't break.

But look! It's cracked in the middle.

That's way better
than how you did the first time.

You're right. With more patience,
practice, and precision,

I'll be a lean, mean, chopping machine,

like Sensei Dave and Dr. McNair, one day.

One, two, three.

-Thanks for teaching us, Rosie.
-No problem.

I don't wanna brag,

but I'm great at starting
from the beginning and going slow.

-No way!
-[Rosie] Huh?

[Mr. Twist] What? Nuh-uh, get outta here!

-[Ada] What's wrong, Dad?
-You might want to brace yourselves.

This Sunday, prepare to receive
a bachelor's in backbreakers

and a doctorate in d-d-d-d-doom!

[cackles]

Whoops.

-Oh boy. Are we still rolling?
-[director] Cut!

Whoa! Professor Flowerbomb's
power moves are power fakes!

Mind super blown!

But h-her muscles, her PhD in power.

Huh. I guess she needs
to go back to the basics.

I'm definitely sticking with Sensei Dave,
the real professor.

Let's do some more blocking.

[all] One, two, three.

[Ada speaking]

Okay, last scavenger hunt clue.

"This box is so big
that it holds other boxes."

"Toolboxes, boom boxes,
boxes of socks-es!"

"Boxes of socks-es"?

-Dad…
-I got creative with the rhyme.

Now, to solve this clue,
you must think outside the box.

-I'll be in my office if you give up.
-We're scientists, Mr. Peck.

We never give up.

Never ever.

-I'm ready to give up.
-What? No!

We're not giving up. Let's keep thinking.

"A big box of boxes."

What's a boom box?

[gasps] I think I got it!

The garage!

I win, I win, I win!

I think.

Dad!

Oh!

A big box that holds other boxes.

Good game, Iggy.

-Here's a present for winning.
-[Iggy gasps]

Thanks, Rosie!

[Rosie] And this is for you, Ada,
just 'cause.

Thanks!

I found them treasure hunting
with Great Aunt Rose at the beach.

-So? Who figured it out?
-I did!

You're the scavenger hunt champion!

So how'd you figure it out?

Rosie asked what a boom box was

and I remembered
that you keep this one in here.

Then that made me think,
"A garage is kinda like a big box."

You thought outside the box.

But I still don't know
what a boom box is or does.

And this peculiar piece of engineering
doesn't clear it up.

It plays music. That's called a CD.

-[upbeat music plays]
-[laughter]

Yeah!

Uh, yeah! Yeah!

[laughter]

-Whoa!
-I got you! You okay?

Uh-huh. Thanks. But that box isn't.

[gasps] Dad, look!

Aw, me as a kid

with my old favorite toy, Rexcalibur.

You know, Rex is…

[both] "The first model toy I ever made.
You never forget your first one."

-[giggling]
-Iggy's heard this a couple of times.

He means a couple of million.

[laughter]

Oh, see this? It's a time capsule.

Rexcalibur's in it, with some
of my favorite things from back then.

[gasps] Your favorite old toy is traveling
through time inside an old lunchbox?

Awesome!

[laughs] A time capsule's a container
you put stuff in from the present,

then store or bury it

so people in the future
will find it and learn about the past.

Mine's buried somewhere in this yard.

-[all] Wow!
-[doorbell rings]

That's probably Paul.
He's dropping off topsoil for the garden.

Guys, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

How cool it would be
to have a time-traveling toy?

[giggles] That would be cool,
but we should dig up the time capsule!

We can be archaeologists
like my Great Aunt Bernice used to be.

Ooh, I wanna be an archaranchologist.

Hm, I mean, arancheologist. [sighs]

I wanna dig stuff up from the past.

Even though digging means getting dirty,

it would be awesome to reunite my dad
with his old favorite toy.

-I'm in!
-Yes!

Great idea. There should be a map
in the box where you found the picture.

-Really?
-Fabtastic!

Uh, your dad didn't say
the map was invisible.

[sighs] This was a great idea.

No, it still is.

Archaeologists find
old, faded stuff all the time.

Maybe Great Aunt Bernice
will know what to do.

Let's call her at her archaeology shop.

Good news, Questioneers.
You can restore it.

-Yes!
-Really?

Yes, indeedy.
The color of the ink's important.

I'll tell you what you need to do.

First, make a copy of the map
so you don't damage the original, then…

Loading the lab.

[thrilling music plays]

Okay. Do we have everything?

Black ink solution, also known
as lemon juice and water? Check.

Fan to dry the map
after we apply the solution? Check.

[jaunty music plays]

[all] Wow!

Restoring a map
to find a priceless time capsule?

Check, check, check!

We have a map!

Let's go dig up a time capsule.

-Hey! Urgh.
-Rosie!

Whoopsies. Uh, guys, it's not here.

But we followed the map exactly.
40 steps from the door.

So why was it wrong?

Aw, man, of course.
The house has changed since back then.

Iggy's grandparents renovated it,
built a shed,

and when I moved back in,
I grew the garden.

Gotta go.
I'm expecting a call from your mom.

If we don't have a map that's right,
it'll be impossible to find the capsule!

Maybe we should just forget it.

Guys, scientists do impossible stuff
all the time.

Astronauts went all the way to the moon.

But they knew where it was.

Humongous advantage.

That's true. It's pretty hard to miss.
Know what we need?

A miracle?

Uh, a crystal ball?

A brainstorm!

I have an idea!
We could just start digging.

But there'd be holes all over the yard,
which my dad would not be cool with.

[Iggy's dad] Iggy!

Yeah, that would not be okay.

We could call a gopher
to tell us where it's buried.

But what if a whole bunch of gophers
show up and dig holes everywhere?

[Iggy's dad] Iggy!

That would be a huge problem.

Oh, dogs! They smell everything.
We could get one to sniff out Rexcalibur.

But it might sniff Iggy since he always
has a tuna fish sandwich in his pocket.

Iggy!

[sighs] You're right.

Maybe the time capsule's
just lost forever.

I wanted to reunite my dad
with Rexcalibur,

but how are we gonna figure out
where the capsule's buried? [sighs]

You're right. I can't give up
just 'cause it's hard.

Yeah, the scavenger hunt was hard
and you figured that out.

Yeah! 'Cause I… thought outside the box.

Okay, we tried following the map,
but the house changed.

[gasps] The house! I have an idea.

Blueprints!

They're kinda like a map of a house.

-Great idea, Iggy!
-Nice outside-the-box thinking.

Ah, thanks!

So according to the blueprints,

the door where the map said to walk from

is, uh, now a window.

So, okay, 40 steps from here.

[Ada] The time capsule should be… here.

[sighs] I wish there was a way
we could know for sure

so we don't have to dig a lot of holes.

[groans] I wish we had x-ray vision

so we could see
what was underground before we dig.

[groans]

Wait. Rosie, you dug these up at the beach
with Great Aunt Rose, right?

-Uh-huh.
-How did you know they'd be there?

We walked around with her metal detector,

and it beeped when something metal
was underground!

Great Aunt Rose taught me
all about how they work.

Here, I'll show you.

Metal detectors transmit
an electro-magnedifence… Hmm.

-[Iggy giggles]
-Electromagnetic?

Yep. An electro-mag-netic field
into the ground.

That's how it tells metal from dirt.

The old lunchbox is made of metal.
[gasps] We need a metal detector!

I'd say we could borrow Great Aunt Rose's,
but she's on a trip.

Great Aunt Bernice might have one.

Sorry, Questioneers.
My metal detectors are all sold out.

But y'all make stuff all the time.

All you need are an old AM/FM radio,

a calculator, Velcro, and a CD case.

Whew. I'll design it.

-So cool!
-Looks great!

Let's make a metal detector!

[jaunty music plays]

-Now let's detect some metal.
-[all laugh]

-[beeping]
-[laughter]

I hear something.

[grunting]

[gasps] A penny. I'm rich!

[beeping speeds up]

That beep's big!

Big beep, big lunchbox?

Come on! Let's get diggy with it.

[all grunt]

-[all gasp]
-[Iggy] Is it it?

[gasps] Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

-Wow!
-The time capsule!

[Ada] We found it!

Another peculiar piece of old engineering.

Cool!

I think that's an old video game.

VHS. They used to watch movies on these.

[gasps] It's Rexcalibur!

In the flesh!

He's so much cooler in real life.

I can't wait to see the look
on my dad's face when I show it to him!

Wow! I didn't know I'd be so happy
to see the old dino again, but I am.

Thanks, bud.

You're welcome, Dad.

[both] "You never forget
your first model toy."

[laughter]

For our time capsule,

I'm putting my old notebook,

preserved in a plastic bag
so the pages don't get faded.

I'm putting my first Rosie hammer.

I'm putting a blueprint of my skate park.

[Rosie and Ada grunt]

[all laugh]

[closing theme music plays]
