01x10 - The Trouble with Centigurps/Totally Odd Squad

Post by bunniefuu »

- Coming up next on Odd Squad... - So cute...

- Close that box! - Why?

- It's a Centigurp! That one little guy will become little guys.

We need all ... There's still some more out there.

- My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This isn't anything -

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.

(theme music playing)

-Rrr! -Yeah!

Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

- The weird thing is, is I'm really happy!

- Not to worry, sir. We got this.

- Oh! Thank you, Odd Squad! - Have a good day, sir.

Let's go.

- I'm Slappy the Sun, and I'll always

be with you! - What?

- ♪ Slappy and Derek, we're best friends ♪

♪ Slappy and Derek, friendship never ends ♪

- ODD SQUAD! I can't live like this!

- Hi, Derek, I'm Slappy! I'm your new best friend! Hurray!

- Lovely. - I love you!

- Yeah, great! - ♪ Slappy and Derek ♪

- You wanted to see us, Ms. O? - Yes.

Something very odd has happened.

A giant goldfish is attacking the harbour.

Olive, activate your suit for water travel.

- On it, Ms. O.

- So that's what these things do!

Cool...

- OTTO! - Oh! Yeah, Ms. O.

What have you got for me?

- Take this down to storage. - But that's not fair...

- And whatever you do, don't open it.

- (sighing): So unfair.

Stick the new guy with all the boring jobs.

(warbling)

- What was that? (tinkling)

- Whatever you do, don't open it.

- But I want to! - Don't.

- Come on, just a little peek.

- Enh, go ahead. I'm just a dream, anyway.

- Aww!

So cute! - Close that box!

- Why? - It's a Centigurp! If it's exposed to light too long,

that one little guy will become--

(squeaking)

-- little guys! - Oh, no!

- We have to tell Ms. O. - No! Please, don't!

If Ms. O finds out I messed this up,

she'll never let me battle a goldfish.

- Haven't you ever made a mistake?

- Not--

- Oh, yeah. That haircut was a pretty big mistake.

I'll help you find the Centigurps.

- Thank you. So, what do we do? - We have to look for spheres.

Centigurps love spheres. You know, round, ball-shaped little objects?

- Yeah. I know where to go. Follow me. - Okay!

- Where did they go? Stay there!

- Got another one!

- Come on, back here! - I got more.

- Thank you.

- Okay, suck them back into one. - That's not how Centigurps work. We need all .

- How many do we have?

- Uh, , , ... - , ... Ah!

- Or was that ? - , ...

- Too many! I can't count! Hang on!

- No! Where are you going? Don't leave me with these things!

- , ... - AHH!

- This box will hold Centigurps each.

If we just fill the box, we won't have to count,

Because we'll know it's ! - I can't hear what you're saying, but okay!

- So we have in each box. - That means we have

, , , .

Centigurps. - Right, and if we

started with

and now we have ...

We have left to go. We're halfway done!

- But where are we gonna find other spheres?

- I tend to think better with gum. Hmm. - You do!

- I do? ...I do! Heh... - You do!

- Uh, what are we talking about? - That gumball is a sphere.

Where did you get it?

- There's this really good gumball machine in Belgium.

There's also one over there.

- Do you have any quarters? - Always, heh!

- Oscar! - Ahh! Uh, Ms. O!

What are you doing here? - Getting some gum...

- Uh... How about some chocolate?

It's, uh, warm and melty from my pocket!

- I will say this: you know how I like my chocolate.

- Phew!

- Well, what are you waiting for? Come help me out!

- (Oscar): So, we ran out of larger boxes.

- How many do we have now? - These boxes hold Centigurps each.

- So we count by fives. - Right.

So we have , and then we count , ,

, , , .

- (Otto): Come on... Aw!

- (Oscar): Still not . - There's still

some more out there. - We're gonna have to do a lot more running around, aren't we?

- Oh, yeah. - Let's go.

(machinery slowing down)

- This whole thing's powered by a cantaloupe?

- Oh, yeah.

(machinery powering up)

- Agent Orchid, we need that Centigurp,

- This is not a Centigurp, this is Sherman, and he's mine.

- No, you don't understand. - No, you don't understand!

- I'm not giving him to you. - What if we gave you

something for it? Like this yo-yo!

Look at all the tricks that you can do.

- I find that very underwhelming.

- What do you want for the Centigurp?

- Well, if you asked me that before I met Sherman,

I would have told you I needed everything.

But now, I don't need a thing.

- Look. Agent Orchid,

I know this is a bit hard for you to understand,

but Sherman's actually just one out of the other Shermans.

And I bet his brothers and sisters miss him a whole lot

and wish they could see him.

- How about some cash? - Ooh!

Deal! (Sherman squeaking)

- Let's go. - That works, too.

- Okay. So we had , and then we put some more into these boxes.

- These hold each, so I'm just counting by twos.

, , , , ,

, , , .

- (both): Ahh!

- Still two Centigurps! - Where? We looked everywhere!

- Oh, no! - What... What?

- I just remembered what Ms. O brought for lunch today!

- What? - Spaghetti and...meatballs!

- Hmm. That sounds delicious. - Don't you get it, man?

Meatballs are spheres!

I'll be right back.

- I'll just stay here, then!

- Oh, juice!

(chirping)

- Made it!

- Oscar? - Uh, yeah, Ms. O, what's up?

- Did you just throw my lunch away? - I make mistakes sometimes...

Remember that haircut?

- Enough said.

- Did you get them? - I got one,

but the other one got away!

(squeaking frantically) - (together): There it is!

- If only we had a sphere to get its attention!

- We do.

- Come on! Come on little Centigurp!

(squeaking)

Over here! Come on! Come on little Centigurp!

- We did it! - Yeah!

- Awesome, awesome... Boom!

- Chest bump! - No, no! No, no...

- Okay...

- Would you like to do the honours?

You know, this was actually one of my easier days.

- Hi, Otto.

- Hey, Octavia... Is this the storage room?

- Yup.

- Where do you store everything? - It's complicated.

- Anyways, here's the Centigurp box.

- Thanks. - No problem.

- Ms. O had you deliver a Centigurp box?

- Yeah. Why? - I was here for years and years

before Ms. O gave me a job like that.

She must really trust you. - Cool.

- Aww! (squeaking)

Wait, no, come back here!

Wait, no, that's not good! That's not good! HELP!

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

O'Connor? - Comin' at ya!

- As you can see, we have a salsa front moving in

from this way. Too bad it's not a little lower,

because it's gonna miss the giant tortilla chips down here.

That would have been delicious.

Also, we know it's going to be raining cats and dogs.

The good news is, we know exactly how many animals are coming our way.

O'Connor, if you could zoom in? - Zoomin' in!

- Perfect! So, each one of these big dog clouds

rain exactly dogs each.

So, instead of having to count every individual big dog,

we can just count the clouds by .

...woof! ...woof! ...woof!

...big dogs. - Yeah!

- And the small dog clouds rain exactly dogs each, so we can count by fives.

...woof! ...woof!

...woof! ...woof!

...small dogs. - Yeah!

And the cat clouds rain cats each, so we count by twos.

...meow! ...meow!

...meow! ...purr!

Rowr... - Yeah, cats!

- So to sum it all up, we're asking all available agents

to come to this spot with your dog and cat catchinators

to catch the big dogs...woof! small dogs...woof!

And cats...meow! - Wrap it up!

- Also, if any agents would like to take

any of these animals home as pets, that would be great.

See, I would, but I've still got my hands full

from last week's bunny storm...

I named them all Oscar Jr.

That one's my favourite.

- There you are! Something very odd has happened.

- This is the greatest challenge we've ever faced.

Who gets the last jelly bean?

- Rock, paper, scissors for it? - Yeah.

- HEY!

I want in on this!

- (together): , , !

- (Ms. O): Paper covers rock. I win.

- , , ! - Rock beats scissors!

- I win.

- , , ! - Scissors cut paper.

I win again.

- How did you do that? - I've seen you play before,

and I figured out the patterns you use when you throw.

Olive always plays rock the first round,

then paper, then scissors.

Oscar plays scissors the first two rounds,

then rock. And you always just play paper.

- That's my secret move! - Not anymore!

- Somebody chair me!

- Yup, I learned all about patterns

back before I was Miss O.

I was just Agent Oprah. ♪ Dun dun dun ♪

- Wait a second, your first name is Oprah?

- Anybody have a problem with that?

- Wait, how old are you? - You want to hear the story or not?

- (all): Story. - The year was ...

- Odd Squad looked a little bit different back in the s.

Our phones were big, and our hair was even bigger.

My partner was Agent O'Donahue.

- Just a minute please, sir.

Hey, Oprah, you got a second?

- What's the haps?

- (man): The problem is my sweater.

Every time I try and take it off...

It just keeps going and going...

...and going! - That is odd. Not to worry, sir.

We can use our sweater take-off-inator.

- It's too bad, it's a pretty choice sweater.

- But... You think?

- Oh, yeah. Totally tubular.

- You're right. Thanks, Odd Squad.

- ( s Ms. O): Oprah! O'Donahue!

In my office! Like, now!

- Right away, Ms. O.

- What's the problem, Ms. O?

- O'Donahue, tuck in your shirt!

And that's not our shirt...

- Hey! Don't you like it when I bring you flowers?

(scoffs)

- Ms. O, you should relax. - Yeah.

Try to get a pet fish - all swimmy and fishy-like.

- I don't have time for fish. Too much oddness.

Speaking of which, something totally odd has happened.

(clapping)

This is the medium-sized ball of gum in the town museum.

Except, this morning...

...someone stole it. (gasping)

Oh, yeah. That just happened.

Luckily, we have a clue.

- Well, what are you waiting for? Totally go!

(clapping)

(sighing) I'm getting too young for this.

- (in distorted voice): Ha ha! By now, you've realized

all your precious bubblegum has been stolen.

But never fear; The Patternista will tell you

where to go find it.

Simply figure out the next sound out of my mouth.

(squeaking) (train whistling)

(mooing) (train whistling)

(squeaking) (train whistling)

(mooing) (train whistling)

Patternista out!

- The next thing out of her mouth?

That was just a bunch of noises!

- I think it's time for a trip to--

- --the Mathroom? - Oh, yeah.

(whirring)

- What's totally up, agents?

- Mathroom, play back the Patternista's noises.

(squeaking) (train whistling)

(mooing) (train whistling)

(squeaking) (train whistling)

- She said figure out the next noise.

How are we supposed to do that?

- Wait, she's called "the Patternista".

Maybe those noises are a pattern.

That means they would be in a certain order.

- But all the noises mixed together, it's like,

"Ugh, gag me with a spoon."

- So let's give each sound a number,

to make it easier to figure out the pattern. Play 'em, Mathroom.

(squeaking) That's .

(train whistling) - .

(mooing) - .

(train whistling) That's a train, so again.

(noises playing in succession)

- The pattern is , , .

- But dude, look!

If it was , , , there would be another after the ,

because it would be starting again.

But look, there's another after the .

The pattern is , , , , and then it repeats.

- Dude, you just...

- , , , ... , , , ...

And then just , , .

That means is next!

- So we can find the ball of gum at "train"?

What does that even mean?

- Maybe it's a place where you find trains.

- Yeah! - Let's go.

(whirring)

- (together): There it is!

Excellent!

- (Ms. O): What's this?

Looks like we'll have to use the VCR-inator.

- Good job, Odd Squad.

Psyche! Bad job, because this was

all a trick to distract you so I could steal Ms. O.

I'm keeping her in my warehouse now.

(giggling)

- Agents, take a chill pill.

I'm not hurt. Just one thing:

feed my fish while I'm gone. Feed the green one two times

and the yellow one once.

Do this a total of times

and pay attention to how much you fed the green one.

- Bummer. - What are you doing?

- Without Ms. O, Odd Squad is most defintely over.

- So that's it? You're just going to quit?

- Oprah, it's been real.

( s-style music playing)

(blowing nose loudly) - (Oscar): It's just so sad.

I mean, what if Odd Squad goes out of business forever?

- That doesn't happen. - How do you know?

- Because we're here today!

- Oh, yeah. Please continue.

- I wouldn't give up!

- Just one thing: feed my fish while I'm gone.

- But Ms. O doesn't have fish.

Why would she... (gasping)

Unless fish is a clue to find her!

- Radical job, Oprah! - Thanks, Mathroom.

- Call me Carol. - Okay, Carol. Play some more?

- Feed the green one two times and the yellow one once.

- Carol, show me green, green, yellow.

- Do this a total of times.

- I think she's saying green, green, yellow's the pattern,

so if I repeat that pattern times...

- And pay attention to how much you fed the green one.

- I fed the green fish

, , , , , times.

green... What's green?

(gasping): There's a Green Street!

Carol, show me Green Street! - Generating image...

- The Patternista said she was in a warehouse.

I'm coming for you, boss!

(whirring)

ODD SQUAD!

ODD SQUAD!

- Where's Ms. O? - Ms. O is right...

...here.

- Who... What...

When... Where?

- (all): WHY? - I'm about to tell you!

- This case has been a test.

And from what your partner told me,

you were totally radical.

- No, duh.

- I've been planning on retiring, but I needed to know

there was someone good enough to take my place.

- Thank you, ma'am. - Now, if you'll excuse me,

I really do have a fish to feed.

( s-style music playing)

- Hey, congrats.

Ooh...

- So that's how you became Ms. O?

- Yes.

I learned two lessons that day:

how to be a pattern detective,

and the last jelly bean always tastes the best.

- Bogus.

- Totally. - To the max.

( s-style music playing)

- Don't worry. Oprah and O'Donahue will be back.

Oh, yeah.

- Greetings, Agents. I'm sure you know by now

that when the sun goes down, the spider-cats like to party.

Here's a picture of them... But what you might not know

is if you've been bitten by one.

That's where I come in.

The first clue you've been bitten by a spider-cat

is that it hurts...a lot.

Here's a picture of me last night, right after I was bitten.

Heh-heh... Ahem. The second clue

you've been bitten by a spider-cat is that your hand

will be constantly changing colour. But not to worry.

You can fix this with a hand-on-colournator gadget.

But do not, under any circumstance,

zap your hand if it is blue or yellow.

If you do, your hand will be turned into a meatball.

I wish I had time to explain, but right now, I have

an unhealthy amount of spider- cat poison in my bloodstream.

- So, how do you know the right time to zap your hand?

Well, if you look closely, you can see that there's a pattern.

What is a pattern, you ask? It's something that repeats itself.

Right now, the pattern is normal, blue, yellow,

blue, yellow, and then it repeats.

Normal, blue, yellow, blue, yellow.

Now that we know the pattern,

I can call it out and zap my hand at the right time.

Normal, blue, yellow, blue, yellow, normal!

(whirring) Ta-da! Ha...

The only problem is, once you get your hand back to normal,

you will start shrinking. Goodbye!

- Hi. My name is Agent Orchid. - There you are! Something very odd h

I've been working with the Squad for years.

I like dinosaurs. - (Otto): You have a lot

of time on your hands. - So much...

I make friends really easily.

If you asked me that before I met Sherman,

I would have told you I needed everything.

But now, I don't need a thing.

No matter what happens,

I always stay calm.

WAHH! WAHH! Buttons! - What are you doing?

- What's the hardest part about working at Odd Squad?

Figuring out if who I am as a person

is a result of the way I was born,

or if my personality

is primarily influenced by the outside world.

What I do know, is I build a mean sandcastle!

- Boom!
