04x12 - Should Odd Acquaintance Be Forgot

Post by bunniefuu »

[Orli] My name is Agent Orli,

and this is my partner, Agent Ozzie.

This is "peas" on Earth.

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.

[driving music][creature growling]

[agent zooms]

[gadget zaps]

[upbeat music]

[all]Whoa!

Whooo!

News time!

[gadget zaps]

[dings]

[creature growls][all cheering]

[Orli] We are "Odd Squad!"

[propulsive music]

[Captain O] "Should Odd Acquaintance Be Forgot"

[sighs] Another quiet day in the office.

Ozzie, Orli, we have a situation!

A... situation?Or a... situation?

Remember the Terrible Three?

The kid villains that kept stealing shapes

from us a few weeks ago?

Yes, they turned themselves in.

[computer beeps]

We've locked them in the interrogation room.

[Orli] That's great!

Maybe they felt bad for stealing from Odd Squad.

What was that look?

Hey, guys, you should get to know them!

They're great! I gave them some gadgets.

[all] You gave them gadgets?

You said to make them feel welcome.

I didn't give them anything dangerous,

just the Good-night-sleep-inator.

Okay, well, that's not too bad.

And the Hole-in-the-wall-inator!

Oh, no!

[Orli] Is that the Hole-in-the-wall-inator?

[Ozzie] Yep.[all gasp]

[Captain O] Waves and whales!

They're on the loose in H.Q.

This is bad!

Quick, follow me!

[alarm sounding]

[dramatic music]

Agent Orwell, what can you tell us?

I have a visual.

They stopped by the Odd Squad photo booth

to take these adorable photos.

Those are the same shapes that were stolen from our gadgets--

a circle, a triangular prism...

[Orli] And they've gotten hold

of a rectangular prism from somewhere.

[villains laughing]

This is bad!

If they plug those shapes into our security computers,

who know what type of oddness they'll unleash?

I do![all gasp]

They could open up all the Odd Squad containment units.

[all gasping]

Hey, you all gasped at the same time! Nice.

We have containment units here and all over town!

Opening them will release oddness everywhere!

Orwell, what floor is the security computer on?

Actually, there are security computers

on floors.

They could use any one of them.

Then send agents to floors.

We don't have agents with us today.

A whole bunch of them got a group discount

on a cruise!

The high seas fooled me again!

The good news is that it'll be a while

until the Terrible Three can take control of our systems.

So we have to figure out which computer they're using

before then.

On it!

Onom, come with me!

If only we knew how they think!

[plucky music]

Okay, what's going on?

Do you want to tell me something, Ozzie?

I know them.What?

How?

They used to be Odd Squad agents.

And I was their Mr. O.

I should have told you sooner,

but it was never the right time.

Well, the right time is right now.

I know the right place so you can tell your story right away!

The storytelling room.

I always forget we have this place.

While Orwell and I search H.Q.,

you can tell Orli about your time with the Terrible Three.

You might have some info about where they're headed.

Go!

[Captain O sighs]

Okay, we're in a hurry,

so let's start with your first day as a Mr. O.

It was... a disaster.

They were brand-new agents,

and I was already their fifth boss.

The rest had given up on them.

Why?

They were...

a handful.

[time bubble popping]

To make matters worse, we'd been given a booth

in a fish-and-chip shop

while H.Q. was being built.

Welcome Ollison, Oxandra, and Offee.

It's Offee.What did I say?

You pronounced it right,

but we didn't like your tone.

Offee!

Offee.Offee.

Offee.Offee.

Offee.Offee!

Offee!

Don't be rude, Offee, our Mr. O will dump us.

No, I won't!

Look, I'll order us some food.

Who wants... number ?

Everyone likes chips.

No way!

You don't like chips?

No, I love chips, but I hate the number ,

or any number with a in it.

"Hi, I'm the number !

I always have to come first!"

Egh! Get over yourself, !

Offee...Offee.

you're an Odd Squad agent.

You're going to have to deal with all the numbers.

[Orli] Hang on!

This is great information!

Really? How?

Offee hates the number !

So he'd never go to a floor with a "" in it.

[Ozzie] Captain O, what floor are you on?

Floor number !

Beach ball floor![grunting]

Get out of there!

The Terrible Three won't be on that floor

because Offee hates the number .

Orwell, cross floor # off the chart.

Done.

Let's go to floor .

No! We can cross off any floor

that has the number at the start or end of it as well,

like , , ...

Done.Great work, agents.

Keep talking.[grunting]

Ow, ow!

Tell me about your first villain.

Our first villain was Bar B. Cue.

[laughing loudly]

I'm the villain-est, grill-inest villain in town!

And I'm gonna cover all y'all in barbecue sauce!

[splatting][all screaming]

[Barb laughing]

[all screaming]

[all] Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

Not a chance! [laughs]

[sauce splatting]

We need to stop her.

Oxandra, blast her with the Net-inator!

[gadget dings]

Ew, yuck!

What? What's wrong?

The Netinator is the number gadget,

and is an even number.

That means it can be divided into two equal halves.

And I hate even numbers!

It's sauce time!

Ehhh!

[sauce splatting][Barb cackling]

That's awesome! Oxandra hates even numbers.

That's a huge clue!

[gadget clicks open]

Captain O, where are you?

The floor where we keep the owls.

It's dark.

Just how they like it.

[Orli] That's floor .

That's an even number.

The Terrible Three won't be on that floor

because they hate even numbers.

Orwell, cross floor off the charts.

[owl hoots]

Sorry about the light, Mr. Wise!

[beeps]

And while you're at it,

cross off any number that has an even digit

at the end of it, like, , , , , or .

Done.

That got rid of loads of floors.

Well done, agents. Keep it up.

Orwell, let's set sail out of here.

[owl howling]

It sounds like the Terrible Three

weren't very good agents.

Well, they were smart, but they needed some guidance.

So I decided to make them an Odd Squad manual.

What I ended up making was a big mistake.

[Terrible Three laughing]

They used their gadgets to make things float.

[all laughing]

What are you doing?

Huh?

We read the manual you printed,

and this is what it says to do.

No, it doesn't.

Let me see.

Wait, what?

Oh, no! Oh, no, oh, no!

I accidentally printed the manual backwards,

so it's making you cause oddness instead of preventing it!

And it's so fun!

[seal barking]

[Terrible Three laughing]

Please stop.

And we can have some of the cake I made

to celebrate our six days of working together.

Ugh!What's wrong?

It's carrot cake.

It's not the flavor that's a problem.

It's the number.

A non-symmetrical number?

Let me guess--you only like symmetrical numbers?

You got it.

But thanks anyway for creating the manual.

Causing oddness is so much fun!

[seal barking]

[Ozzie] What have I done?

[all laughing]

You'll regret running out on us, Ozzie.

I turned them odd.

I was so ashamed, I tried to quit Odd Squad.

But Captain O insisted I stay.

She created a job for me

where I wouldn't have to deal with oddness.

The Department of Help.

Yep, until I was ready to be an agent again.

Thanks to you!

You said Ollison only likes numbers that are symmetrical.

Mm-hm.Something is symmetrical

when it can be perfectly folded in half...

like this.

Yes, it's the same on both sides.

It's the same on both sides!

[gadget beeps]Captain O?

What floor are you on?

Floor , the string floor.

[Ozzie] Ollison hates numbers that aren't symmetrical.

The number isn't symmetrical.

It isn't the same on both sides.

[Orwell grunting]So they won't be on that floor.

Mark off all the numbers

that can't be folded perfectly in half.

[computer booping]

That leaves only floor and .

And we've already been to floor !

Then floor it is!

We'll meet you there.

[Offee] First, the circle.

[Oxandra] Then the triangular prism.

[Ollison] And finally, the rectangular prism.

[all] Odd Squad, Odd Squad, stop right there!

Too late.

One touch of this key

and we take control of your system.

And then we're gonna open

all the oddness containment units!

Releasing oddness everywhere!

No! This is all my fault.

I printed the manual backwards.

I made you odd.

And I'm so sorry.

This isn't about the manual!

You left us,

just like all the other Mr. and Miss Os left us!

Which is why it's time for a good night's sleep, Ozzie.

[Captain O] The Good-night-sleep-inator!

[zapping]No!

[gadget zaps]

Captain O? Why did you do that?

I'd do anything for my agents.

[Orli] Let's get you to bed, Captain O.

[Oxandra] It's working!

[computer] Security system deactivated.

[whirring]

[Ollison] Offee, grab the containment key!

Ha! Now we have full control

of the Odd Squad computer system.

Quick!Let's go!

We need to stop them![cackling]

[Ollison] See you around, Odd Squad.

How long will it take for them to start releasing oddness?

Not long.

[zapping][people screaming]

Oh, no, this is really, really bad!

[tablet whirs off]

Agreed! I hate it when my battery dies.

Oh, and the oddness and Captain O sleeping.

Yeah, that's bad too.

[snoring][dramatic music]

[objects all whooshing, squeaking]

I joined because ice cream should be cold, not angry.

I joined because caterpillars should turn into butterflies,

not history teachers.

I joined because cat food shouldn't argue with you.

[cat food bowl] Yes, it should.

No, it shouldn't.Yes, it should.

We are...

We are...

We are...

-We are... -[all] Odd Squad!

[Captain O] Since the beginning of time,

-and we're talking way back, -[swords clacking]

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!

[birds squawking]

And yes, that is a flock of flying toast.

It's wheat bread, if you were wondering.

[Orli] Agent Orli here!

Join Odd Squad on the PBS Games app.

You'll get top-notch training

in the secrets of Odd Squad,

including...

Dicey Escape,

the best way to escape from Polka-Dot villain lairs;

how to unlock odd doors,

how to give treats to the creature

known as the Doctopus;

what to do in case of Polkabots--

robots that play polka music;

the best gadgets to capture villains

in giant bubbles;

how to solve dicey problems.

Back to you, Captain O!

[Captain O] You can also stream odd cases on PBS Kids.

Is that over there also a normal British thing?

[lightning zaps, crackles]

No, that's definitely odd!

Let's do this!

Odd Squad needs you!

And I need some me time.

[magical ding, soft music]

[sighs]

[slurping, sighing]

Much better.

Now, what are you waiting for?

Go!

And now the rest of the story.

[announcer] Coming live from Villain News Studio,

your host, Miss Information.

[dramatic music]

Today, on Villain News,

Odd Squad's containment units are open,

and the worst oddness in years

has been unleashed!

[laughs loudly]

[sighs]

Here to talk about it are the villains

behind this mayhem-- Offee, Ollison, and Oxandra.

How did you become villains?

We used to be Odd Squad agents. Ech!

Ozzie was our Mr. O.

He abandoned us, just like everybody else.

Any message for Odd Squad

as they try to save the town?

Oh, Odd Squad won't be saving the town anytime soon.

One of the containment units we opened is in Odd Squad H.Q.

And now they're trapped!

[all laugh]

[paper planes flutter]

[Orwell] They're right! We're trapped.

Those paper airplanes are blocking our way to the tubes.

And the canteen.

It's snack time!

If Captain O hadn't been blasted

with the Good-night-sleep-inator,

she'd know what to do.

[Captain O snoring]

Ozzie, you use to be a Mr. O!

You have to take charge.

What if I fail again?

You won't. We believe in you.

Especially if you have snacks.

Okay, I'll take charge,

but only until Captain O wakes up.

Cool! Do you want us to call you "Captain Ozzie" or--

Just "Ozzie" is fine.Okay.

What'll we do first, Just Ozzie?

[Ozzie sighs]

We need to get the containment unit

in H.Q. closed.

Follow me!

[snoring]

[planes whizzing]

All containment units have different-shaped doors,

like that.

That's a diamond shape.

Great, so we need a gadget that makes a diamond shape

to seal it.

Problem--we only have Triangeinator gadgets.

No good, Onom!Yes, it is!

That's great for some reason, Onom.

We can use two triangles to make a diamond shape.

How?We'll show you.

Thanks, Onom.

Thanks. Orli, on three, we run!

One, two--

you were supposed to wait for three!

I haven't said three yet!

Careful, Orli!

[grunting]

[both] Look out!

[plane buzzes]Oh!

[sighs]

Now let's close this thing!

[gadgets buzzing]

[planes whipping, gadgets buzzing]

[metal doors clang]

[Orwell] They did it!

That was amazing!Yeah.

Now we can access the tubes again!

But where do we go first?

We've got options.

[Ozzie] Laser butterflies?

Roads covered in ice cream?

Rivers of gravy?

There's so much oddness,

and not enough agents to deal with it!

Onom, do you have spare gadgets?

My middle name is Spare Gadgets.

Huh.It never made much sense to me,

until this moment, right now.

Great! Onom and I will find new agents

to help close the containment units.

While Orwell and I solve the oddness that's already loose.

Good luck!

[dramatic music]

[children playing]

Hey, Orli![all greeting]

Wait, you know all these kids?

Yeah, I made a couple of friends

since moving here from Niagara Falls.

Make way! Coming through!

Hey, everyone!

Something really bad has happened.

We need you to become Odd Squad agents to help save the town!

I know that might sound scary for a lot of you,

but trust me--We're in! Let's go!

[all] Yeah!

I guess they didn't need my big speech after all.

Onom, gadgets!

Take a Triangleinator, everyone!

One for you, here you go.

Take this one, one for you.

Okay, you four head north

to he hippo mountain that's appeared.

You three head east!

There's a vortex screaming showtunes badly.

You two, mop up the milk flood at the school!

You'll need cookies.

The rest of you, with me!

Come on, let's go!

Ugh! Breaking news!

Odd Squad has contained the oddness in H.Q.

and some new agents are heading for

the containment units in town.

We'll cross now to our reporter in the field,

Horatia Hollywood!

[American accent] You are joining me live from glamorous downtown!

Agent Orli, do you have a moment for Villain News?

What's the plan here?

We're sealing up that containment unit.

[gadget zapping]

[Horatia] Fun! And how will you close that shape?

It's a pentagon-- five sides and five corners.

[gasps] Exclusive news--

it's a pentagon.

But we don't have any Pentagoninators.

We have Triangleinators.

But Triangleinators won't work.

A triangle isn't a pentagon.

You heard it here first!

[gadget whirs]

If five agents blast a triangle each,

it can create a pentagon, which will seal the door up.

Agent, you zap the laser butterflies

back into the containment unit,

and we'll seal the door. Let's go!

Ooh, exciting stuff!

Stay tuned with Villain News.

[zapping]

Get ready![all] Mine's working! We're ready!

Agent, sweep them back in!

Okay, all together! Let's close this pentagon.

Now!

[gadgets all buzzing]

[Orli] Keep going!

[metal doors clang]Steady!

Almost there!

[last door clangs]

[triumphant music]

We did it!

[all cheering] Yes! Yeah!

Let's go!

Next containment unit!

[workers shouting]

[creature growling]

Ozzie, there's a blob monster underneath the town square.

We need to seal the last containment unit

so no more blobs can get out.

Even with Orli's new agents,

there aren't enough to defeat it!

What are we gonna do?

Something I should have done a long time ago.

Is it get a pizza?

No.

Well, if it's okay with you,

I'm going to go get a pizza anyway. Good luck!

[workers shouting][monster growling]

[cackling gleefully]

So, what's next for you three?

Uh, we don't have a plan.

The plan was to unleash oddness,

and we've done that.

And we're not sure we like it.

Hi. Excuse me.

Wow.

Joining us live for an interview it's Ozzie--

I'm not here for an interview.

I'm here to say sorry.

We already told you--

this isn't about you printing the manual backwards.

I know. I'm apologizing because I abandoned you.

That was what I got wrong.

I should have stayed when things got tough,

but I panicked, and left you to become

full-blown villainous masterminds.

You think we're masterminds?

[Ozzie] Can you forgive me?

Yes! We forgive you.

To be honest, this has all gotten a little out of control.

[triumphant music][mimicking apology]

"We forgive you. Egh. So happy for you."

[creature growling]

How do we close the containment unit

before more monsters escape?

[bangs gadget]

[whirs]

[Orli] This door is a decagon--

a ten-sided shape.

If we blast ten Triangleinators,

we can seal it up.[creature growling]

But we don't have ten agents!

[Terrible Three] Maybe we can help?

[Orli] Uh, are they on our side now?

Uh-huh.Then welcome to the team!

Take a Triangleinator each.

[creature growls]

[Orli] With ten agents, we can seal this unit!

Ready?[creature growls]

Okay, how do you want to do this?

I'm thinking slow motion.

Maybe with some cool action music?

You read my mind, partner.

[creature growls][all] For Odd Squad!

[all shouting][exciting music]

[Ozzie] Come on!

Watch out for the slime!

[Orli] Take cover!

[Ozzie] Watch out!

[all grunting]Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[creature gargling]

[Ozzie] Orli!

[Orli] Take your positions!

Now's our chance to seal the unit!

[Ozzie] On three!

[both] One, two, three!

[gadgets zap]

[door clanging shut]

[Orli] It's working!

[Ozzie] Excellent!

Only two triangles to go.

Let's do thi--oh!

Yuck!Are you okay?

Oh, my suit!

Ech!

Bit sticky.

Anyway, as I was saying...

let's do this.

[gadgets zapping]

[creature growls]

[door clangs]

All containment units are secure!

[all cheering]

Pizza for everybody!

[all cheering] Yeah! Whoo hoo!

Did I miss anything?

[propulsive music]

Captain O! You're awake!

Yep, never slept better in all my years.

Well done, you two.

Sounds like you've saved the day.

[both] Yeah!And just in time for you

to head back to Niagara Falls, Orli.

What? When?

[Canadian accent] Immediately.

Or sooner.

Mr. O? Why are you here?

Turns out there is a lot of oddness back home.

Niagara Falls has turned into chicken soup.

We need you.

[sighs] I'm sorry, Mr. O,

but I can't go back.

This is my home now. These are my friends.

This is where I belong.[Captain O] Agreed.

Okay, I understand.

I can get fish and chips for lunch,

so I haven't wasted the journey.

I'm glad you're staying, Orli.

Me too, partner. Me too.

That makes three of us.

Because something very odd has happened!

Lunch, everyone! It's chicken soup today.

Aw! Not more chicken soup!

[triumphant music]

[upbeat music]

[typewriter keys clacking]

Ahoy there!

And welcome, landlubbers, to my office,

where I, Captain O,

keep Odd Squad running ship-shape.

I made sure this place had everything

I had at sea with me,

including this trusty instrument.

[plays off-key]

Now, these might look like normal fish,

but do you know they also sing sea shanties?

[fish voice] ♪ It's hard to be a goldfish ♪

♪ Swimming round and round.

Having my own office means I sometimes feel

a little far away.

That's why I have this telescope from my days at sea,

so I can see what my agents are up to.

There they are,

running around...[Agent] Captain O, help!

...shouting for my help.

Coming, Agents!

[upbeat music]

[Orli] Welcome to Odd Squad:

A Guide to Your Gadgets.

Behold the Shrinkintor!

It is the number-one cure of Giant-Dog-itis.

But that's not all!

Seriously, that's not all.

Flip the Shrinkinator over,

and it could also make waffles.

The Shrinkinator also has a motion sensor,

which doesn't work.

This has been a helpful guide to the Shrinkinator.

Remember, knowledge is power,

power is gadgets,

and gadgets is gadgets!
