01x18 - Dance Like Nobody is Watching/Recipe for Disaster

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

- When the alarm's on, it's like headquarters

is trying to destroy you. Good news is

all these booby traps run on a pattern.

- What's the bad news? - I, uh, forgot the pattern.

[screaming] You're gonna have to go through these lasers by yourself.

- What?!

-My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is a glass half empty.

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]

[whinnying]

- Ah! - Hi-ya!

- Come on! Come on! - Where are we going?

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

- Thanks for coming, Odd Squad. - What seems to be the problem?

- Well, ever since this morning, I've been feeling hot

as a fireplace. I finally realized what the problem is.

My stomach is a fireplace.

- Not to worry, We have an Unfireplace-Inator.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! I don't want you to "unfireplace-nate" it;

I just want marshmallows, you know, for roasting.

- Seriously? - I could say no, but I'd be lying.

- Never fear, Otto's here!

Mini or jumbo?

- Jumbo. I mean, is there really a choice?

The stick fits nicely. - Good work, partner.

- Have a good day, sir.

- Let's go.

- Ah, if Sheila could see me now.

Ooh, this should be good.

It's gonna be hot, but good.

[braying]

- Busy day at the Squad.

Excuse us. - Coming through.

- Excuse me. Thank you. - Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Excuse me. Thank you. [beeping]

- Ms. O, what's happening?

- I want to say O'Duffy forgot the code

to shut off the alarm system,

but it sounds better when he says it.

- I forgot the code to shut off the alarm system.

Let me try once more. [beeping]

- Are you just pushing buttons?

- Yeah, totally. - Yes!

That means I can take the day off and listen to Soundcheck.

- ♪ Up down left right I'm gonna move my feet tonight ♪

♪ I'm gonna show my funky side like nobody's watching ♪

- Otto, you can't take the rest of the day off.

- As much as I love Soundcheck, she's right.

We have to shut off the alarm, so we can

get inside headquarters. If not, the whole world will turn odd.

- But how are we supposed to shut off the alarm if you don't know the code?

- There's a shut-off switch outside my office.

You two, come with me.

Keep your eyes open for booby traps.

- [both]: WHAT? - Hey, guys.

So, I made a bunch of booby traps to keep bad guys out,

and when the alarm's on, it's like headquarters is kind of trying to destroy you.

- Which is why Oscar's coming too.

- Wait, I didn't say I was gonna help.

- O'Duffy, open the door. - But the alarm's on!

- O'Duffy, open the door.

- But there are booby traps! - O'Duffy, open the door!

- But it's my birthday! - Happy birthday!

NOW OPEN THE DOOR! [Beep!]

- Ms. O, wait!

- New plan: we're going a different way.

- Coming through. - Sorry about that.

- Excuse me. Coming through. - Sorry!

The next booby trap should be around here somewhere.

- [Otto]: I think I found it. - OK, the good news is

all these booby traps run on a pattern.

- Something that repeats? - Exactly. So, if you know the pattern,

you can figure out which squares are safe to step on.

- What's the bad news? - I, uh, forgot the pattern.

[overlapping shouting]

Hold on! I have more good news!

I just found jellybeans in my pockets. - That is good news.

- I'll figure out this pattern. Black square first.

[kids screaming] - [Olive and Oscar]: Not safe!

That's like NO!

- Let me try white square.

- Nothing happened!

- The pattern must be: all white squares are safe. Let's go!

See?

[screaming] - What happened?!

- Ms. O's frozen! - [Otto]: I know! - Why did you ask?

- Because I'm freaking out! You two go on without me.

I'll just stay here and listen to my music.

- ♪ Up down left right - This song is really good.

- Otto! - ♪ I'm gonna jump

- You have to keep going. It's what Ms. O would have wanted.

Ms. O, blink if you agree.

- But how are we supposed to get through all this?

- That black square and that white square are bad.

- [Otto]: But that white square is good!

- Let's test the next black square.

- I got this.

- [all]: Safe! - Maybe the safe squares

keep switching from white to black.

- Shoe time.

- [all]: Safe! - So the pattern of the safe squares

must be changing from white to black. In the first row,

white was safe. In the second row, black square was safe.

And in the third row, white was safe again.

- So, in the fourth row, it should be black.

Let's go! - Wait! Till anything a pattern,

the sequence has to repeat itself at least times.

Good luck, my little jellybean.

- [all]: Safe! - So, that's the pattern.

It goes white-black, white-black.

Ms. O, we're gonna shut off the alarm

and then come back for you.

You heard her! Let's roll out!

- So, Oscar, how many booby traps did you make?

- You know, it's not really the quantity as much as the quality

that counts. When I designed these booby traps,

I put enhancements that really allows you to hear-- [screaming]

- Again?! - If it's like the last pattern,

some of these squares should be safe to step on.

- Let's start testing.

- [all]: Safe! - Who's got shoes left?

- On it.

[screaming]

- [Olive and Otto]: STONE? - Pretty impressive, huh?

- [Olive and Otto]: NOOO! - Oh, I was impressed.

- OK. Now, test the green square in the second row.

- Green square...

second row.

- [all]: Safe! - I bet it's just like

the last pattern, but instead of white-black,

it's pink-green.

I'll go first.

Pink.

Then green.

Then pink. [screaming]

- What happened?! - Olive turned to stone! - I know!

- Why did you ask? - Because I'm still freaking out!

- Otto, what's my name? - Oscar.

- What's my middle name? - You never told me.

- And I never will. The point is you have to focus.

I can fix Olive back at my lab, but we can't get there

unless we stop this alarm!

I could use something else to throw.

Alright.

Ugh! Man! That was a mistake.

Here are the squares that are safe,

so let's look for a pattern. Now, Olive thought

that the pattern was pink-green-pink-green.

But look. It's really pink-green, green

and then repeats.

Pink-green-green.

- And because we've seen the sequence repeat twice,

we know it's a pattern. Let's go.

Pink, green, green.

See you soon, partner.

I hope.

Pink, green, green.

Let me guess. There's another booby trap?

- Yep, and it's a doozy.

- What happens if you get hit by a laser?

- Remember how Ms. O got turned to ice?

And how Olive turned to stone? - Yeah.

- It's like both of those combined, and then way worse.

But it's OK. If we can figure out the pattern, we can beat it.

There's a shut-off switch right underneath

Ms. O's stool. - Looks like the lasers

are sh**ting down low.

And then, up high!

- Right. And then, they move diagonally up to the right.

And then, up to the left. - That's a pattern!

Down, up, right, left!

- Exactly! Now, if I remember correctly, there should be

another booby trap around here somewhere.

[kids screaming] [alarm ringing]

Pah! Found it.

- What am I supposed to do now?! - You're gonna have to go

through these lasers yourself. - What?! I can't do it myself!

It should be you or Olive or Ms. O!

- Otto, you can do this. [Otto sighs.]

OK. The pattern

is down, up,

right, left.

So to get through it, I have to move in the opposite direction.

Up, down, left, right.

Wait! I can dance through it!

- Funny. Sounded like you said you were gonna dance through it.

- Soundcheck. - Oh, boy. [electronic music]

- ♪ Up, down, left, right I'm gonna move my feet tonight ♪

♪ I'm gonna show my funky side - Like nobody's watching ♪

♪ In, out, jump, twist

♪ Pumping a beat I can't resist ♪

♪ So I'm gonna get ridunculous - Like nobody's watching ♪

- Way to go, Otto! You know you don't have to dance anymore, right?

- I know! - ♪ Dance like nobody's watching ♪

- And that's when I said, "Dance, Otto!

Dance like nobody's watching!" Heh! Heh! Heh!

Or, you know, at least, it's what I thought in my head.

- Great work, partner. - Thanks.

Juice box? - No.

- Sure!

- How about you, Ms. O? - If... if it's

c-cold, I don't want it. [tapping]

- That makes sense.

Well, maybe later.

- HURRY UP!

♪♪

- 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 color. But not to worry.

You can fix this with a Hand-on-colornator 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!

I want you to tell me exactly how that...- There you are. Something very odd has ha

[thunderclaps]

...happened.

- Well, I was following protocol as usual.

It was Agent Otto that wasn't paying attention! - No! She was distracting me.

- We're going to go one at a time,

starting with Agent Oooo

oooooooooo... [inaudible talking by Otto]

...oooooolive.

Begin at the beginning.

- Yes, ma'am. I was born

on a storming December night many, many moons ago.

- The beginning of the case. - Right.

Hmm! Well, as you know, we went to investigate

an odd robbery at Ms. Mac's Fruit Stand.

I was doing all the work, and Otto kept cracking jokes.

- Hey, Ms. Mac! What did one orange

say to the other? - Uh, I don't--

- Nothing, because oranges can't talk! Ha! Ha!

Ha! Ha! Oh, my God! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ha! Ah, that was a good one.

- Anyhow, you said the thief stole fruit, but not all your fruit.

- Yes. Thanks for getting us back on track, Olive.

You are very good at your job. - Thank you.

- So I have all this beautiful fruit, but it's so odd,

because he or she or it only took the red apples.

- Hold it right there!

How many apples? - It doesn't matter.

- I want to know all the details!

All of them!

Now, how many apples?

[Otto clears his throat.] - Uh, Ms. Mac started with .

- Now, I only have , , .

- Hmm... so things went missing.

Sounds like a subtraction problem.

Partner, lend me a tablet? - Sorry, too busy dancing.

- Alright. You started with ,

then some disappeared,

so now you're left with .

How many went missing? - I hate it

when the answer's in the middle. - Hold on.

If you started with , and now you have left,

then that means we can take away from

to figure out how many went missing.

- minus , , is

. red apples stolen.

Ha! Amazing!

Agent Olive, you are truly the best agent I have ever met.

- Oh, please.

- No, I mean it. May I have your autograph?

-Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

That's not what happened at all!

- So, there were more than apples stolen?

- No, there was . She's just telling it totally wrong.

First, my orange joke k*lled.

[all laughing]

- I can't catch my breath! - When you got it, you got it.

- Seriously? - That's how I remembered it!

But the only reason I brought up oranges

is because some of those were stolen too.

- Oh, yeah. I forgot that part.

- How many oranges were missing? - Ms. Mac started off with .

- But now I only have .

- Partner, can you lend me a tablet?

- Can't. Too busy being serious.

- You started off with , and now you have .

Let's flip the last numbers to subtract

from to see how many went missing.

- minus is , , , , .

I have missing oranges.

Agent Otto, you are truly the best agent I have ever met.

- Oh, please!

- No, I mean it.

May I have your autograph?

- Did either of you really sign autographs?

- Not exactly an autograph-- - I wouldn't say it's one, but I thought she wanted one--

[phone ringing]

- Go for O.

- Ms. O, none of our gadgets are working!

Ah! [dramatic music]

And more of those lightning thingies are coming out of it!

- [Do your best]

to hold it off.

Now, where were we? - Should we really

be standing around here talking about apples and oranges?

- Yes, that's exactly what we should be doing! What next?

- We got a call about some odd activity

at the soccer field. [whooshing sound]

- Coach Roberts.

Normally, I would talk soccer with you,

because I'm such a big fan, but I'm a professional

and I have a job to do, so what seems to be the problem? -Excuse me,

but no! That's not how it went.

- I can't believe I'm talking to Coach Roberts, again!

Your soccer team is doing so good this year.

I've been watching all your games!

I even made my own uniform!

Go, Bears!

Maybe I got a little carried away.

- Not to worry. I got Coach Roberts

back on our side by telling another amazing joke.

[Roberts and Olive laughing]

- That is the funniest thing I have ever heard

in my entire life! - When you got it, partner,

you got it!

- Will one of you tell me one thing that actually did happen?

- Coach Roberts said his practice cones were missing.

- How many? - Well, he had ,

and then he had .

- So all were stolen? - Yeah.

- Olive, continue. - Well, Coach Roberts said...

- Normally, I set up the cones, so my players can run drills.

Without them, they're lost.

Look.

- Coach, would you happen

to have a picture of these practice cones?

- Of course. I always take a picture of my practice cones.

- Aha, they're yellow!

- So?

- So, first, red apples

were stolen, then orange oranges.

And now, yellow cones.

Take a look at that rainbow.

Red, orange, yellow.

The villain is stealing in the order of the colors of the rainbow,

which means they're gonna steal something... green next!

What's the greenest thing in town?

[gasping]

- [both]: The town park!

-Hold on.

So, there just happened to be a rainbow

in the sky? - Uh... no.

We had to look up the colors of the rainbow

in the library, but it just makes a better story that way.

- Agreed! - Yeah!

- Grrr!

Keep going!

- We got to the park and saw Rainbow Robin

stealing all the trees in town. - [Agents]: Rainbow Robin!

- Odd Squad!

- I pulled out my Return-Inator. - And I pulled out

my Putback-Inator. And we got the stuff,

and a vortex appeared. -Out of nowhere.

And that's pretty much the story.

- Yeah, that's it. - Hmmm...

And is that how you remember it too?

- Not at all. First, I never stole anything.

I paid for all that fruit.

[Ms. Mac humming]

Mrs. Mac?

Mrs. Mac?

I'm gonna leave the money on the counter.

- Ah!

Oh, my apples and oranges, they're missing.

And they weren't paid for.

ODD SQUAD!

[whistle] - Let's go, people. Hustle!

- And I didn't want to bother Coach Roberts during practice,

so I left a note saying I was borrowing

his yellow cones.

[pigeon cooing]

[whistle]

- My cones!

They're missing!

And no one left a note!

Unless they did, and a pigeon took it.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! That would be ridiculous.

Odd Squad!

- OK, fine, but we still caught you stealing

all those trees. - Those were my trees!

- [Olive and Otto]: Whaaaat?! - I was planting them

to make the park prettier, and I was using the cones to mark the spots to plant them.

And I brought the apples and oranges for the other volunteers.

I was being a good citizen until you two showed up.

- [both]: Rainbow Robin, stop right there!

- Oh! Hi, Odd Squad.

And then the vortex opened.

[phone ringing]

- What's the update, Oscar?

- The update is the world's gonna end

unless we close this vortex!

- Just one moment.

- [I'd really like to talk to you about--] - How many trees got zapped?

- Um, I started with , but I already planted .

- So, minus what

equals ?

- [Otto and Olive]: When you're doing subtractions,

you can switch the last numbers to make it easier--

- I know! So, we're looking

at what's minus ? - Easy.

minus ... is .

- So, to sum up, Robin had trees,

yellow cones, apples and oranges.

And, as it says here in our Odd Squad manual...

...when you zap those exact objects

in that order, you get a vortex.

- [together]: Aaaaaah...

- Which is what I suspected.

And now that I know what we're dealing with...

Oscar, use the Untree-cone-apple-orange-inator.

[dramatic music]

- Ah! That worked.

- Rainbow Robin, on behalf

of Odd Squad, I apologize.

- So sorry. - Totally our bad.

- Olive, Otto, what lesson did you learn here today?

- I guess sometimes, I can be a little too serious.

- And I guess sometimes, I don't take things

seriously enough.

- And I probably need to do a better job of listening

to my partner. - Yeah. Same goes for me.

- What?! No! The lesson is

don't zap those exact objects in that order!

- Right. That too. - Yeah! That too. Yeah.

- Rainbow Robin, is there any way we can

make it up to you?

So, good news...

all of your trees are planted.

Bad news,

we actually made another vortex. [dramatic music]

My name is Ms. O. And in every department here at Odd Squad,♪♪

some people call me "the boss" and I like that.

Before I became head honcho, I was an agent myself.

What's the haps?

But that doesn't mean the big "chiefaroni" doesn't help out with cases

every once in a while. Hi-yah!

Ms. O don't play that.

What you might not know about me is... I like juice boxes.

[slurping noisily]

I need a juice. OK, maybe you did know that about me.

but did you know this juice box on my desk

is actually a phone? [ringing]

Hello? Sorry, I can't hear you,

I'm on my juice box phone.

Call me on my regular phone.

Thanks. [phone ringing]

Hello? Yes, I'd like to place a juice-box order.
