04x05 - A Dicey Situation/Lift Off

[bunniefuu]

[Orli] My name is Agent Orli,

and this is my partner, Agent Ozzie.

This is how an octopus stays warm in winter.

Back to us.

We work for an organization run by kids

that investigates anything strange, weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

-[light dramatic music] -[monster grumbling]

[laser zaps]

[bell chimes]

[Orli whoops]

News time!

-[fingers snapping] -[bell chimes]

-[mouse roars] -[hands clapping]

[Orli] We are Odd Squad.

[light dramatic music]

[Captain O] A "Dicey Situation."

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, sir?

My milk has turned bad.

Okay.

I'm not really sure that's an Odd Squad problem,

but we can show you to the nearest store.

No, I don't mean my milk has turned bad like that.

Watch.

Excuse me, Milk.

Please can I have some milk?

[Milk] No, I'm never coming out to this jug

and you can't make me.

Okay, why don't I just zap it?

Hold on, Ozzie, just give me a moment with the milk.

Hey, where's all this anger coming from?

[Milk] Steven used to have me in tea,

but now he drinks fruit teas

and he only needs me at breakfast.

It's like he doesn't care anymore.

Of course I care.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

[Milk] Really? Do you mean that?

Absolutely.

Our work here is done.

Have a great day.

I'm so glad we got that sorted.

Without you, my cereal tastes awful.

[Cereal] What!

I should have known that's how you really felt.

-Odd Squad! -[light dramatic music]

Four, five, six.

Yes!

Ah, my turn.

[Captain O grunts]

Seven. The luckiest squid in the sea.

Hand them over.

[sighs] You're unbeatable.

How are you so good at board games?

Ah, now that's a story.

Would you mind telling it to us?

Oh, sure.

You see, before I was captain at Odd Squad,

I was captain at Odd Squad.

A different Odd Squad.

We begin the tale aboard the OS Odd Squad.

What did the OS stand for?

Odd Squad.

So it was the Odd Squad Odd Squad?

[sighs] Aye.

[light dramatic music]

Back then it was just me and my first mate, Osgood.

Oh, so that's where you met Osgood?

Yep. He was my first mate and my best mate.

And my first best mate

since we were in nursery school together.

Osgood was the ship's cook and a first class jazz dancer.

[upbeat music]

Beautiful moves, Osgood.

What's on the menu today?

This is made out of sea biscuits and fish?

Glistenening sand, it never looked so tasty.

-[horn honks] -[suspenseful music]

[Captain O growls]

[Oddmiral] Ahoy, ahoy! It's the Oddmiral here.

A villain has struck island #!

A villain has struck island #?

[Oddmiral] And we need to investigate!

And we need to investigate?

A villain has struck island # and we need to investigate.

-No way! -Let's go!

[light dramatic music]

[civilian] Ahoy there!

Odd Squad, you've got to help me.

What's happened here?

Yesterday a villain turned up

and covered our island with polka dots.

So this look isn't a fashion choice?

-No. -You're pulling it off, sir!

Oh, thank you.

But it's not just me, they dotted the jetty.

They even dotted...

my Swiss cheese.

[Captain O gasps]

That's what it's supposed to look like.

Oh yeah.

Ahoy, Odd Squad! Ahoy!

[dramatic music]

Ahoy, ahoy.

See? You're a fashion trendsetter.

I didn't get my looks from him.

I'm a stripes girl.

But my island's just been covered in polka dots.

And tell me, what island are you from?

Island #.

[magical harp music]

So one day the villain struck island #,

then the next day they struck island #.

That's two less than .

Maybe it's a pattern and they're skip counting two each time.

If you skip count down two from eight, that's six.

Was the island that the villain struck next island #?

Let's find out. Shall we?

Onward to island #, Osgood.

Aye aye, Captain.

Onward to island #, Octo!

[horn toots]

Ahoy, ahoy!

Hello, I'm putting you on speaker phone.

[bell chimes]

'Tis I, Dottie Dubloon,

the villain who's been polka dotting things.

And you are about to polka dot island #.

We figured out your pattern and we're coming for you--

You figured out nothing.

I'm not headed to island six, and I don't have a pattern.

What!

Then how do you decide which island to polka dot each day?

I use dice.

Dice?

Yeah. Two of them.

They're as dotty as I am, and totally random.

[Captain O] So that's how you roll.

I choose the island

to strike based on the numbers they give me.

[Dottie snickers]

-Bye, Odd Squad. -[dial tone ringing]

It's all random.

There's hundreds of islands.

She could be going anywhere.

Cease your tragic dance, first mate,

and take a look at the information that we have.

Get the monitor.

Each dice has a maximum roll of six,

and Dottie's rolling two dice.

[Osgood] So the most she can roll is a .

[Captain O] Exactly.

She can't roll one, because the lowest she can roll

-is two ones, which is-- -Two.

[Captain O] That means there are only dice combinations

she can come up with.

Which means there's only islands

-she can possibly strike! -That's right.

Let's guess an island number from to .

Ready? Go.

[both] Island three!

Yes, we are so in sync!

Set sail for island #, Octo!

[Tour Guide] And this one's brown.

Where's Dottie?

Who's Dottie?

I'm starting the guided tour of island #'s rocks

right now with these people.

Our best rock is here.

This is my favorite rock.

[clicking music]

What was that sound?

It's coming from over there.

Spotty dotty, cover the lotty!

-Woo! -[dots popping]

Dottie Dubloon.

Dottie Dubloon escaped capture again and again.

We'd guess island #, she'd go to island #.

We'd guess island #, she'd go to island #.

It was hopeless.

Time to give up, Captain O.

I finally beat Odd Squad.

Randomness wins!

No Dottie, we're gonna keep guessing islands

and one day it'll be the same island you roll.

Yeah.

We'll guess island #, and then you'll roll island #

-and then-- -Nuh uh.

I've already been to island

and I would never polka dot the same island twice

in case the dots joined up and became splotches.

Yuck. Bye, Odd Squad.

[Captain O] Dottie has no idea how much help she just gave us.

So first Dottie struck islands and eight,

then , , and .

Then it was , , and .

That just leaves islands and .

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

[Osgood] We need to work out which island

she's more likely to hit next, Captain?

That's exactly what I was thinking.

-[hands clapping] -[horn toots]

Go for Captain O.

-[Oddmiral] Oddmiral here. -Oddmiral.

[Oddmiral] I'm transferring you.

You are transferring me?

[Oddmiral] To Odd Squad .

To Odd Squad ?

[Oddmiral] You leave tomorrow.

I leave tomorrow?

[Oddmiral] Stop repeating everything I say!

I need to stop repeating everything you say?

Okay. Bye, Oddmiral.

-[Captain O sighs] -[dial tone ringing]

Osgood, we've only got one chance to catch Dottie Dubloon,

or we might never solve this case

and that one chance is today.

-[Osgood gasps] -[dramatic music]

-A little later. -[bell clangs]

We've got the same chance of Dottie hitting island

as her hitting island .

She's equally likely to go to either.

Mm, maybe not, first mate.

So to get to seven, you can roll a one and a six,

a two and a five, a three and a four,

a four and a three, a five and a two, or a six and a one.

Making six ways to throw a seven.

[Osgood] But you can only roll a six and a six to get a twelve.

That's only one way.

There's more ways Dottie could

roll seven than a twelve, which means it's more likely,

though not certain, that seven will be next.

We'll head to island #.

All hands on deck!

Aye, aye, Captain.

[dramatic music]

We reasoned there was a better chance

of Dottie hitting island seven.

And we were right.

We caught up with Dottie en route to island #.

That's a beautiful painting.

[Captain O] Thanks. I like to dabble.

Arg, anyway.

There she summoned a beastly Kraken.

And we battled it till sundown.

Finally, we captured the villain

they call Dottie Dubloon.

-Yes! -Yes!

Woohoo.

Well done, Odd Squad.

Bet you're gonna be really good

at board games now, aren't you?

Well, sorry Dottie.

That's just how we roll.

-[Dottie muttering] -[magical music]

That's how I got so good at board games.

[Captain O snickers]

Fruit salad, anyone?

And for you, Captain O--

sea biscuits.

This is why you'll always be my first best mate, Osgood.

That and your dancing.

Strike up the music!

[upbeat jazz music]

-[light dramatic music] -[air swooshes]

[belt squeaks]

[badge screeches]

I joined because birds should fly,

not do jigsaw puzzles.

I joined because pretzels should not have feelings.

I joined because books shouldn't be making bagels.

[sniffs] Oh, I hate that it smells so good.

-We are. -We are.

-We are. -We are.

[All] Odd Squad.

[Captain O] Since the beginning of time,

and we're talking way back,

we've been fighting odd.

In our spare time,

we also like to make pictures of ourselves.

I really like this one.

There's no case too big, no case too small.

At Odd Squad we do it all.

[bird caws]

And yes, that is a flock of flying toast.

It's wheat bread, if you were wondering.

[light dramatic music continues]

Is that over there also a normal British thing?

-[thunder cracking] -[electricity zapping]

No, that's definitely odd.

Let's do this.

Odd Squad needs you!

And I need the lights off.

[bell chimes]

Well, what are you waiting for?

Go.

[light dramatic music]

[Captain O] "Lift Off."

Incoming!

[lasers zapping]

Thanks, Agent Onit.

-Get Ozzie for me, please. -On it.

I did it, Ozzie!

I battled the demon sharks in the Whirlpool of Doom

and retrieved the interdimensional clam.

Great work, Orli!

All you have to do now is bring the clam up

to the th floor.

Why the th?

[Ozzie] That's where we keep a portal to the th dimension.

The clam's rightful home.

What do we keep on the st floor?

A spaceship? A time machine?

The compost pile.

I would like to see that.

Once you get here, we'll send the clam

through the portal back to its own world.

Sounds good.

I'm on my way to the elevator now.

I mean, I'm on my way to the lift, guvna.

[laughs] You're getting so good at that.

Thanks. Cheerio, old chap.

[light dramatic music]

Orli's nearly here.

Onom, you can open the portal.

I love this part.

[light dramatic music]

Greetings, human children.

I am King Starlette Calithea.

You can call me Colin.

[both] Hey, Colin.

Thank you for rescuing Lady Calamity.

I didn't realize the clam had a name.

Of course she has a name.

Lady Calamity is the greatest singer

the universe has ever seen.

Lady Calamity has a concert today.

Millions of adoring fans are waiting for her to sing.

If I could take her now.

She's on her way.

So, do you have gethoids in your dimension?

No, I don't think so.

[Colin] Like a blount but bigger.

Do you have middle names in your dimension?

No, but we have names after our first name

and before our last name.

[dramatic music]

[Elevator] Doors opening.

Hello, there.

Didn't realize someone operated it.

All part of the service.

What's that?

It's a clam.

[Clam] Hey, I'll thank you to not talk about me

as if I'm not here.

It talks.

Apparently so.

[Clam] Apparently it has a name. Lady Calamity.

I need to get her to the th floor.

Can I press the button?

Afraid not 'cause then I'd have nothing to do,

-would I? -Of course.

Move yourself.

[Elevator] Doors closing.

Going up.

Second floor.

Odd Squad Filing Department.

[all] Morning!

I thought we were going to the th floor.

We are, mate.

Hold your horses.

[Elevator] Going up.

Doors opening.

Fourth floor, Sails Department.

We need more wind!

Sorry, but why aren't we going straight to the th floor?

This is a two lift.

There's only one button.

See that addition symbol?

It's a plus two button, so this lift can only go

up two floors at a time.

We're on the th floor now.

[Elevator] Going up.

Doors closing.

And I've just added two,

so now we're on th floor, training.

All aboard! Choo choo!

[whistle blows]

Next up, floor eight.

But it's going to take forever to get to the th floor.

Yep.

[Calamity] You there, I'm gasping for a shrimp latte.

Please bring one to me now.

Okay, I think it's time for a little rest, Lady C.

[Calamity] No, no, no.

I don't need a rest.

Ooh, that's lovely material.

Is it fine silk?

I'm feeling ever so [snores].

[light dramatic music]

I think he might be asleep.

[Colin snores]

I thought you said Agent Orli was

on her way with Lady Calamity.

She is.

Does time work the same in your dimension

as it does in mine?

Because this seems to be taking a very long time.

Why don't I give her a call?

No need. I can call her.

Orli!

-I can just use this. -[Colin] Suit yourself.

As you please.

It's Orli.

What's taking so long?

The clam has a concert that she has to perform at tonight.

This thing sings?

Apparently so.

Where are you?

I'm stuck in a two-lift on the th floor.

Okay.

Get off the two lift and get onto the lift.

That will get you here way faster.

There is a lift?

[door chimes]

[Elevator] Doors closing.

[Orli] Ten lift. Ten lift.

[dramatic music]

[Elevator] Doors opening.

Hey, is this the lift?

[Operator] Indeed it is.

This lift has but one button, the addition symbol.

But because it's a lift,

it adds every time you press the button.

Absolutely.

We're on , so the next floor will be , then ,

then and so on.

[Orli] Awesome. I really need to get to floor .

We'll be there in jiffy.

[Elevator] Doors opening.

Twentieth floor.

Home Furnishings Department.

We have a home furnishings department?

[Carrier] Hold the lift! Hold the lift!

Couch coming through.

It's going to be a bit of a squeeze.

[Orli] I hate to interrupt,

but I'm in the middle of a very important mission.

More important than a load of agents

taking naps standing up?

Is there another lift on this floor?

Yes, just down the hall.

Thanks.

-Coming through! -[dramatic music]

[Orli panting]

-[elevator dings] -Hang on!

-Is this the lift? -It is, yeah.

I'm guessing you're not gonna let me press the button.

You guess right, mate.

[Elevator] Doors closing.

Lift going down.

-Doors opening. -[Lift Operator] Tenth floor.

Hang on, we were on the th floor a second ago.

How did we end up back on the th floor?

The only button in this lift has a subtraction symbol.

It takes away every time I press the button.

So we go from to .

You're kidding me.

I would never kid about the lift.

[phone ringing]

You really need to hurry.

I know, I know.

The clam has a concert that she can't miss.

Yes, but some new information

has just come to my attention.

Colin.

-It's Orli. -[air whooshing]

[Colin] Lady Calamity is going to sing soon,

and when she sings in your dimension, her voice will rip

through the fabric of your reality,

destroying time and space itself.

And you didn't think to mention this earlier?

Honestly, I thought you'd be here by now.

So that's kind of on you.

-[Calamity] Where am I? -I'm trying my best.

[Colin] It sounds like Lady Calamity hasn't even started

warming up her voice, so you don't need to panic.

[air whooshes]

[Calamity] ♪ Do re mi fa so la

-Okay, time to panic! -[Orli shouts]

I'm taking the stairs.

It's only floors, I can make it!

Oh no! I'm not going to make it!

[Calamity] ♪ She sells sea shells on the seashore ♪

[Orli] Can you please not sing?

It will destroy our world.

[Calamity] Not sing?

I am a star.

I sing when inspired.

The number inspires

Of course, the , the , the , the , and the .

There's a lift?

Just straight down there, then left.

Calamity, stop that!

Is this the lift? I mean, is this the add lift?

Yes, this is the add lift.

-Great. -Hey, that's my button!

I've been wanting to do that all day.

I'm really starting to worry now.

Me too.

The audience are very restless.

-[dramatic music] -[glass shattering]

Oh no, you are worried about your planet, aren't you?

Uh huh.

She's about to sing!

Get her in the portal!

Welcome to Osgood's Imaginarium of Culinary Delights!

Otherwise known as the breakroom.

This area of HQ is where agents come to relax,

have a break, and let Osgood, that's me, cook for them.

A lot of agents ask me how I make my fresh socks

and smelly cheese toasty.

It's a secret family recipe.

But no my family, so I can tell you.

First, take your bread.

Now, I'm using brown bread.

Then, take a pair of socks.

Finally, add a big old slice of smelly Stilton cheese.

[upbeat music continues]

Voila.

Oh.

Something about this one doesn't smell quite right.

Osgood, have you seen my dirty green socks?

[upbeat music]

[Orli] Welcome to "Odd Squad: A Guide to Your Gadgets."

Behold the Hatinator.

It creates hats of various size, shape and cuteness.

It has a fully carpeted interior.

A way too small carrying case.

It fits in your hand, under your nose,

under an athlete's foot, Diane's foot.

Once you try the Hatinator,

you'll never go back to the Visorinator.

Knowledge is power, power is gadgets,
