(dramatic music)
- Hey, this is the spot.
Okay, they want us
to plant one tree
on each side of the bench.
- All righty, let's get to work.
- How about you take this side,
and I can take that side.
- What's the difference?
- That's my lucky side.
I know.
You know, like some
people have lucky numbers,
I have a lucky
side of the bench.
- Hey, whatever
floats your boat.
- Planting some trees?
- Oh, wow, Danny,
you startled me.
Yeah, we are doing
a volunteer project.
- Nice.
Funny, though, I
don't seem to recall
getting invited
and help out, huh?
- Sorry, didn't know
that you'd be interested.
- Oh, right, because Danny
Rebus doesn't like trees.
Is that it?
What? Danny Rebus is just
a big old tree-disliker,
is that the idea?
- Danny, would you like to
help us plant some trees?
- It's too late.
The damage has been done.
- Hector.
(dramatic music)
There's something in here.
- What is it?
- I don't know.
- Oh, wow, open it up.
- Check it out.
- Those look like scrolls,
really old scrolls.
People used to write messages
on those a long time ago.
- What did they say?
- Let's go check it out.
(dramatic music)
- Hey, you guys!

- Quick, they're
coming down the block.
- I'll go out back.
(suspenseful music)
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- What's up, guys?
Check out what we found.
- Whoa, that's an extremely
surprising thing to find.
- Yeah, I dug it up in the park.
- It looks like some
kind of artifact,
something someone
made a long time ago.
- Oh, what kind of artifact?
- Oh, let me see.
Mm-hmm.
I'd say that's a
pirate artifact.
- You think a pirate made this?
- Yes, I do.
- Show them the scrolls.
- Ooh, oh, let's read them.
- Thank you.
- You read yours first.
- Okay.
"Ye that have found
this shall have
"the great pleasure
of finding your way
"to a pirate treasure."
A pirate treasure?
- Oh, look, jewels.
That must be what
the treasure is.
- Jewels?
Come on, this can't be real.
- Read yours, Lisa.
- "If ye open this scroll,
the damage will be done.
"A curse upon ye and
upon your tongue."
- A curse on your tongue?
That's ridiculous.
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
Are you serious?
Lisa, are you joking?
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
- Her tongue is cursed.
- Oh, this is serious business.
- We have to reverse this curse.
- You're right.
I'm sorry, Lisa.
But how?
- Hector, what does
your scroll say?
- "The cure and the treasure
"won't be found in this chest.
"Ye must go on a journey,
an adventure, a quest."
- We have to go on a quest?
- Wait, there's more.
"Start where ye found this.
"Walk north and walk straight.
"Count your steps
'til ye reach .
"Stop right there,
and then excavate."
- Excavate?
- It means to dig something up.
- Jess, grab your shovel.
Looks like we've got
some excavating to do.
(Lisa speaks gibberish)

But if you run too fast,
you might just trip

- What's the game today?
- I don't know.
- Dr, can I have
a drumroll please?
(drum music)
- I think I'll have a drumstick.
Want some?
- No thanks, I'm driving.
- Oh, hey, I'm
driving with a dragon.
- Well, I'm driving with
a dragon in a dress.
- Oh, too dramatic.
(laughs)
- This is crazy.
- Just drive.
- Hey, you dripping your
drumstick all over me.
(hip hop music)
- This is someone
who can really honk.
The first word starts with T-R,
so we know it
makes the tr sound.
TR-uh, truh,
and then C-K, so ck, truck.
Now, the second word
starts with a D-R,
so instead of tr, it's dr, dr.
There's a silent E, so
this I will say it's name.
Dri, driv-er, driver.
Truck driver.
Honk, honk.
(hip hop music)
- Start where ye found this,
walk north and walk straight.
But which way is north?
- I happen to have a
compass right here.
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
The needle on the compass
always points north.
You see that arrow right there?
That's north.
- Huh, okay.
Count your steps
'til you reach .
Stop right there,
and then excavate.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight.
(Hector speaks gibberish)
, , , ,
, , .
Wait a second, guys.
It looks like someone
already excavated.
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
- A Rebus, no doubt
it's from Danny Rebus.
- I'm one step ahead.
- Danny must have the clue.
- (speaks gibberish) curse.
- True, we have to find
Danny to remove the curse.
- And find my jewels.
(hip hop music)
- Hey, Kieth, hey, Mr. Watson.
- Hey.
- Hey, Jules.
- Jules, it's so
good to see you.
- So has Jessica
figured it out yet?
- No, she doesn't
suspect a thing.
You know her birthday's
not until next week.
- Okay, well, where is she?
- She's still out on her quest.
She should get here
in about half an hour.
- How's life in Minnehaha?
- It's different.
It's cool, I like it.
- Isn't that where they
hold the hamster olympics?
- [Jules] Yep.
- What's that like?
- Well, in Minnehaha, it's
an extremely big deal,
so the whole town goes
hamster happy for two weeks.
- Sounds cool.
- Jessica's gonna be so
surprised to see you.
- Yeah, I know.
It's been a year.
- I did it, I hid
all the scrolls.
- Hey, Shock.
- Hey, Jules.
How's Minnehaha?
I caught some of those
hamster olympics on TV,
pretty awesome.
(dramatic music)
- (speaks gibberish) clue.
- What a mess.
If I don't finish my quest,
we'll never get
this curse off Lisa.
- (speaks gibberish) clue.
- What is she saying?
- She said clue.
Maybe because she
has that curse,
she also knows the clues.
Is that what's happening, Lisa?
- (speak gibberish)
yes (speaks gibberish)
- What is it?
- (speaks gibberish)
steps (speaks gibberish)
bear (speaks gibberish)
- Did you get that?
- Hold on, I can play it back
so I can sort
through the nonsense.
(tape rewinds)
- (speaks gibberish) steps
(speaks gibberish)
bear (speaks gibberish)
- Okay, so steps, bear.
Oh, she must be talking about
the steps with that bear statue.
Is that where the clue is?
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
- Well, I'll run
ahead and catch Danny,
and I'll meet you guys there.
- The quest is back on, yes.
(hip hop music)
- Can you feel my energy
Old school, right about now
Old school
- Come on, new school
- We want the old school,

- [Announcer] Ready, set.
- S?
- [Computer] Yes, and in start.
- Yeah, let's start this race.
- [Computer] Oh dear,
look out for the smoke.
- (coughs) Thanks, pal.
- [Computer] Drat.
- What?
- [Computer] Spikes.
- Spikes?
Now we have a flat.
- [Computer] Yes, and
we're losing speed.
Fortunately, we have a spare.
- Spare tire, brilliant.
- [Computer] Thanks.
Hey, we just won, sweet.
(hip hop music)
- Hop on the see-saw with me
so we can see-saw.
- Sorry, I pass.
- Why?
- The seat is sticky.
- I have an easy
solution, let's switch.
- Okay, what have
I got to loose?
(laughs)
I just can't believe
you chose to sit
in that sticky seat.
(laughs)
See-saw, see-saw,
see-saw, see-saw, see-saw.
- See?
(hip hop music)
(suspenseful music)
- Go to the stair
that's next to the bear.
Be sure to explore
near step number four.
One, two, three, four.
(harp music)
Bingo.
- No, Danny, no, put it back.
- You ask me nicely.
- Okay, put it back please.
- No. (laughs)
- Danny, it's not real,
there's no treasure.
- Oh, come on.
You just don't want
me to find the jewels.
- No, no, no, no, it's not
this spelling of jewels.
It's this spelling, Jules.
(harp music)
It's Jessica's best
friend that moved
to Minnehaha last year.
- Oh, you mean where they
hold the hamster olympics.
- Exactly, but
that's not the point.
The point is that we set up
this whole quest to lead Jessica
to a surprise birthday party.
- Well then, how do you
explain this artifact?
- We put it there.
We set it all up.
- Hold on.
I don't seem to recall
getting an invitation
to a surprise party.
- Danny, shh.
- No, no, I get it,
you don't want me to
ruin the surprise party,
but you don't want me
to be there either.
Typical.
- See, this is the thing,
this is the thing, Danny,
is that it's a new
type of surprise party
where everybody gets surprised,
so you're invited, you
just don't know it.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- I'm extremely touched, Hector.
I'll be sure to act
surprised, I promise.
- Okay, now, put it back.
Put it back.
- Let's go this way.
- Okay, just act normal, okay.
Yeah, Danny.
I found him.
- Step aside, Danny.
Those are my jewels to
find, and you know it.
- Huh, that is a good point.
I hadn't thought
about it in that way.
I promise to help you
complete your quest
in any way I can.
- What's got into him?
(Lisa speaks gibberish)
- Okay, so the clue must be
somewhere around these steps.
- Oh, look, a stone
with a picture of a jewel on it.
Perhaps the clue is
somewhere around there.
- Oh, it's another artifact.
- Whoa.
- Thanks, Danny.
Your quest will be finished
and your jewels will be found
at the place where the water
makes a loud gushing sound.
Loud gushing sound.
Oh, the waterfall.
Come on, guys,
let's head to the--
Waterfall.
You guys.
Guys.
Hactor?
Lisa?
Danny?
(hip hop music)
Okay.
You've followed the clues
and you've played by the rules.
Close the lid to
discover your jewels.
Okay.
- Hey, Jess.
(both scream)
- Jules.
Jules.
Oh, I get it, Jules.
- [All] Surprise.
- It started out
like any ordinary day
But it ended up in
an extraordinary way
My brother Hector
decided to pull
A little stunt, he got me
to go out on a treasure hunt
All the clues led me
straight to this place
I closed the lid,
and I saw your face
Visions of diamonds
were dancing in my head
But the jewels that
I found was a friend
And she said
- Ha ha, I outsmarted
you, smarty
- Jules, it's you
- Yeah, I'm here
for your party
- You got me.
Good friends, good as gold
Good friends, good as gold
- You're my
best, best friend
Girl, you lead the pack
- You are so upfront, plus
I know you got my back
- We've got a lot in common
- But we like
different things
- You keep me grounded
- You give me wings
- And whether we are
hanging on a camping trip
- Or eating ice cream cones
- Made of chocolate chip
We know the truth
- [Both] And it must be told
- Good good friends
are as good as gold
Tell them, Jules.
Good friends
Good as gold
Good friends, good as gold
Good friends, good as gold
Good friends, good as gold
