(stellar music)
- seconds left.
Down by one.
The crowd's on their feet.
The only thing standing
between Keith and the basket,
is a very tall, very imaginary defender.
(cheering)
Keith wins again!
He fakes it!
Keith is victorious!
- Oh, out of no where here comes Hector,
he goes up for the lay-up.
(shouting)
- Ah, he gets it!
Yeah, there we go buddy!
Yeah there we go!

- Seriously, I'm so hungry.
(mumbling)
Hey where's Hector?
- Oh he's comin'.
(machine beeping)
- I'm so sorry about that.
Hey that looks so good!
Hey Jacques, how you doin' man?
- Oh huh!
I didn't know they had burritos.
Actually Jacques I
ordered the turkey club.
- Tough day big bro?
- His feet don't work.
- That is very true.
They don't function at all.
- Bummer this is terrible.
- I know.
- It was so weird.
You know one minute you
had all these sweet--
- I know!
And then boom I can't move around anymore.
I'm fallin' all over everything.
It's like I lost my agility.
- And on top of that you have
to play Manny one on one.
- You can't play like this.
You have to cancel the game.
- I can't, I pinkie swore.
- [All] Oh!
- Yeah you can't go back on that.
- Oh great it's an email
from Manny Spanboni
with a link to his my BIG FACE Page.
- Hello Hector and welcome to my BIG FACE.
So, how ya feelin' today Hector?
Let me guess, not so coordinated anymore?
- How does he know that?
- You're probably
wondering how I know that.
Well I have a plan for victory
that cannot be stopped!
(laughing)
Because remember Hector.
On the court
Nobody's moves are freakier
Off the court nobody's
moves are sneakier
Sneakier than I am
Sneakier than I am sneakier than I am
Sneakier than I am sneakier than I am
- Spamboni is behind this!
He stole my agility!
- But how?
- I think there's a clue in that message.
He kept saying sneakier than I.
(electricity buzzing)
So if this sneaky I snuck away.
- [All] Sneaker!
- Yes!
- I'm (mumbling) something
out of the corner of my eye.
(funky music)
Ugh!
Manny swapped my sneakers!
- That's why you're so uncoordinated!
- Wait guys, wait they're not coming off.
Wait a little help guys.
(ominous music)
(machine buzzing)
- Check it out!
- [Girl] Enter code.
- That's how these shoes function!
There has to be a code to get them off.
- Now we have to cr*ck the code.
- Okay we'll work on that
and then Jess you and Keith
just go find my game shoes okay?
- All right we'll meet you there.
- Okay sneaker?
(machine beeping)
- I'll see you later.
- I don't think that was it.
- Guys!
(upbeat music)
- Hey yo short I!
- Me?
- Come on raise your fists up!
Come on raise your fist up
Come on raise your fist up
Come on raise your fist
It's time for y'all to
put your fists in the sky
And we're gonna list all
the different reasons why
Sure I still the letter
that will bring you
A smile and help you get your fill
'Cause without that I
We never could win
We'd simply have a W N
And that wouldn't get us
to the finish my friend
Oh to the finish my friend

Raise your fists real fast

- I can't go in there without you!
- Why not?
- Because it's a haunted
house, it's scary in there.
- Surely you can go in there without me.
- No way.
I go through life without socks,
without deodorant, without all my teeth.
Please, please!
- All right, all right.
If you can't go in there without me,
I'll go in there with you.
- That was fun wasn't it!
- The next time we go in there,
there's one thing I wanna take with me.
- What?
- My mommy.
(soft upbeat music)
- This is something that
happens to lights sometimes.
It's starts with fl.
And I know that ICK makes the ick sound.
So it's fl-ick, flick.
And there's that bossy R at the end.
So you know that the R
sound is going to boss
that E there and make the er sound.
So fl-ick-er, flicker.
Check out flicker, it's flickering.
(soft upbeat music)
(screaming)
- Whoa he's got coordination!
(machine beeping)
- Yo.
Sweet moves Hector!
(machine beeping)
Remember I'm sneaky Hector,
sneaky like a snake.
(Manny hissing)
Hello and welcome to trash talk,
the show where we talk trash.
Today's trash talk goes out to Hector.
Today on the court
I show you where it's at yo
And you could never catch me
'Cause I'm quicker than a cat
Meow
(machine beeping)
(upbeat music)
- I'm so uncoordinated.
I can't take this anymore!
Get these shoes off!
- Hector!
- I want my agility back.
- Take it easy.
We still need the code.
I know this is a challenge
but hey, we'll get it.
(phone ringing)
- Hello?
- [Manny] Hello this is a
message from Manny Spamboni.
For more trash talk press one.
To get the secret code, press two.
(phone beeping)
We're sorry, two's not functioning.
Now more trash talk.
I'm strong like a ox
I can jump like a rabbit
I'll grab ya by your socks
And I'll drop ya like a habit
(phone beeping)
- What does that even mean?
- Things cannot get any worse.
- [Manny] And now as singing trash-ogram!
- Technically things just did.
Dear Hector why do you even try
(Mumbling) Like an eagle in the sky
Your skills are so very glorious
And today I'll be victorious
Ta-Da
(laughing)
(woman applauding)
(groaning)
- Have you noticed that
Manny keeps mentioning
these animals, like,
snakes, ox, and eagle?
Hey hey, maybe the code is animal.
- Okay well let's try it.
(machine beeping)
(machine beeping)
Well I guess it's not animal.
- Hey!
Look at the time.
I'll see ya on the court, fancy feet.
(laughing)
Everybody knows about words
With the I sound
Like fish and like ship
Let's kick it up a bit
Combine these words
with other words yes
Let me tell you a story now
There once was a catfish
that lived in a fishbowl
With some other fish
Goldfish and a starfish
by the name of Larry
And crazy Larry he
would always hang out
By this shipwreck
And the colorful rocks
that were at the bottom
Of the fishbowl yes
And inside of the shipwreck
was a treasure chest
And every time the starfish opened it
It would reveal a whole
bunch of friendship
A magical power that held
all the fish together
Together forever
Yeah
Short I
(upbeat music)
- Lipstick.
Lipstick.
I, I, I, I.
(glass breaking)
Kickoff.
Kickoff!
I, I, I, I, I, I.
Kickoff!
(glass shattering)
Shipyard.
Shipyard.
(ship honking)
Shipyard!

Dishwasher.

(bubbles bubbling)
Dishwasher.
Dishwasher!

- points wins the game.
You ready?
- Yeah I guess so.
- Let's play.
(machine beeping)
Aw why so uncoordinated?
- [Hector] Did you have any luck?
- We think Manny left us
clues in the names of animals.
Eagle, snake, cat, ox, rabbit.
But we still can't cr*ck it.
(laughing)
(machine beeping)
(groaning)
(machine beeping)
Yo the clock is ticking
and Manny's not missin'
Hector is about to lose
Man I just don't get it
What do these animals have
to do with Hector's shoes
They're clues and I'm
trying to decipher
What this code could be
Well maybe we just have
to put 'em in order guys
Arrange 'em different.
We got snakes
And ox
Rabbit eagle and cat
I know you're great with words
But Lisa I don't see a code on that
Can we try to first
letter of each word?
S O R C E is not a word
Stack a snake then cat and ox
Eagle maybe rabbit
Maybe
Poor Hector's going in circles again
Guys ♪
What
My bad I thought I had it
Hey I got it I got it
Snake cat ox rabbit eagle
We were so close before
If we're talking the
first letter of each word
Then S C O R E
Spells score
- That's the code!
Timeout!
- Aw Hector need a resty-poo?
- I'ma go work on my victory speech.
E-pool!
- Hector give me your foot!
- Here.
You can keep it.
S C O R E, score.

So you cracked the code?
- We have.
Tuna, again?
