(Eric whistles happily)


Your good mood is cheesing me off, needles!


Zip it!


It's the middle of the week,


In the middle of the school year,


And I'm not quite flunking at everything.


(Bones cr*ck, sighs) yup, life is good.


You should be doing better than not quite flunking.


Your super's called maxum man,


Not mediocre man.


Even your well thought out and clever insults


Can't ruin my mood.


Pamplemoose needles!


I zee you forgot your power gauntlets


For gym class.


We are not savages!


Go find some from ze lost und found!


Have fun wearing sweaty old stranger gloves,


"Mediocre kid." (Laughs)


(Sighs)


Okay, thunderbeak... Percy,


I don't like you, you don't like me.


Let's just try to-


(Birds screech) aaaaggggghhhhh!


Both hello.


Hmm...


(Odour hisses)


(Inhales deeply)


Gross! Oh well...


Retainer, slingshot,


A diamond with a monkey skull in it,


Golly gee kid... (Snores)


Nothing. Wait!


Whoa! Who'd leave these behind?


Not bad! Kind of a cool new look.


What?


(Gloves hum) huh?


Weird, but all right!


Hey! (Clucks his tongue)


Looking good.


(Giggling)


Awesome gloves!


They really accentuate your hands!


(Clucks his tongue)


Herr needles, you vill stop wasting time!


Front und center!


Und vere izt zat muzik coming from?


(Record scratches, music stops)


Putting your super back together


After transporter mishaps


Is very important.


Begin assembly now!


(Gloves hum)


Whoa!


Not bad, but...


Imprezzive.


Baking somezing special for your zuper's birthday


Is a necessary skill!


So gently flip ze cake out of ze bundt pan.


Who would like to have my cake and eat it, too?


I am so jealous of your awesome gloves.


These birds can't bake at all.


I need something from lost and found, too.


(Screeches)


(Pained grunts) whoa! Ahhh!


Not the face! Not the face!


Nice.


(Buzzing)


(Licks)


Mmm... Saliva and mold flavoured.


Awesome!


Eric (sighs) bedtime.


Gloves or no gloves?


I'm thinking... Gloves.


(Snores)


(Moans)


(Clippers whir)


(Moans)


Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!


(Overly dramatic) who will save the world


From the dreaded sliplace


Who makes shoelaces come undone?



(Laser blasts)


Ahhhhh!


I'll do it!


You and your gloves saved the world,


And me!


Have all this candy!


I will have all this candy!


Nice gloves!


Thanks, candy mouth, I know!


Mind if I save some of you for later?


Anything for you, eric.


Huh? That's weird...


Why would I hide candy in a dream?


(Glove hums)


(Eric snores)


This has been the best week of my life!


I'm student of the week,


Girls hang off my every word...


We do! We do!


And I won this totally rad award for being totally rad!


And it has everything to do with how totally rad I am,


And nothing to do with anything else...


Like my gloves.


Which are also totally rad.


Aha! Behold the retainer of power!


Bathk in it-th glow!


You're still wearing that thing?


It hasn't given you any powers,


Except for the power of stink breath!


(Odour hisses)


Worm (strangled scream)


Hey, my retainer is just as cool as eric's gloves!


Right, eric?


(Snoring)


(Yawns)


Thanks for helping me home.


I don't get it.


I've been sleeping my usual hours a day,


But for some reason I'm still exhausted.


In other news, the villain who's been robbing


And pillaging honest citizens while splittsboro sleeps


Is still at large!


Weird. My gloves just started sweating.


Maybe I should take them off for a bit...


Ahhhhh!


Ah! Who is there?


No one likes the news, eric,


But that's a little excessive.


(Yawns) something is tripping the alarm at night


During my hibernation phase.


I haven't powered down all week.


Maybe that's why I'm so tired?


Did you check the security tapes?


Of course I did...


And to prove it, I will watch them again


And re-see exactly what I may or may not


Have maybe seen before!


(Eric snores)


(Alarm wails)


(Everyone gasp)


(Tape squeaks as it forwards)


(Everyone gasps)


All right. Let's not jump to any conclusions here.


(Loot clanks)


Again...


Let's not jump to conclusions.


You're the nighttime crook!


It's not me! It's the gloves!


You saw the way they dragged me around


(Muffled) and how they're trying to keep me quiet,


Like right now!


You gotta get them off!


(Struggling grunts)


Ow! You guys have to help me!


(Struggling grunts)


(Slapping) hey!


Help!


Ahhhhh!


(Meow)


Wait! Maybe they're not so bad.


The gloves seem to like kittens!


All awwww...


Kitten (screeches)


Kitten tossing?!


Those gloves are made of pure evil!


Agh!


Throw a net on me or something!


Ahh!


All aghhhhhhh!


Not even a net made entirely of lightweight cotton string


Can stop you?!


Where do you come from?!


Xox I can't find my autonomous thieving gloves anywhere!


I must have lost them


When I dropped trevor off at school!


He probably stole them.


Hmm... That's my boy.


I guess I'll just have to wear my robbery headband.


(Headband whirs)


Stop that! Stop touching me!



Ooh! (Giggles) that tickles!


I really don't want to do this,


But you should have seen how fast I disabled the alarm!


I'm amazing!


Put the jewelry back!


I can't!


I guess we could keep some of the prettier ones.


No! We gotta put it all back!


Though this is nice.


Why can't you be evil like the gloves?


Eric I think the gloves are digging


Under the super super savings bank.


They're gonna steal the fortune of every super in splittsboro!


Stop!


There's nowhere left to run, my glovelies!


Ugh...


Really?


Don't you look at me!


Clever action phrases are hard!


Uh, guys,


I don't think they like being cornered!


(Rumbling)


Uh-oh!


That's either the tunnel ready to collapse and crush us,


Or my stomach.


Let's finish this and go home!


Hi-yah!


Ungh!


Surprise retainer att*ck!


No!


(Growls) hi-yah!


(Sobbing)


I-i just can't hit him.


Woo-hoo! I win! I mean they win!


I mean... Look out!


(Rumbling)


Trevor, vana and kitty (struggling grunts)


That's it! Stealing stuff is one thing,


But hurting my friends?


It's go time.


Mano e gloveo.


(Struggling grunts)


Oh, come off!


(Struggling grunts)


(Grunting and punching sounds)


You can b*at 'em, buddy!


I'm not really sure he can.


Buddy?


Sweetie?


Person I know?


You think he's okay? I'm sure he's okay.


He's okay, right?


(Rumbling)


Or...maybe not.


Kitty (giggles) you're okay!


He's okay!


Actually, my lungs are full of dirt.


(Coughs)


(Angry chatter)


You could have left me and saved yourself...


But you didn't.


You stayed with me. I can't quit you!


We could never have what they have.


(Cries)


And maybe, just maybe,


We can defy convention and complete each other!


I can stop you from stealing,


And you can show me the secrets


Of sleight-of-hand magic.


We'll have each other forever and ever.


And we can love each other to the max!


(Distant whistle)


Xox come to me, my glovelies!


Huh? What? No!


Ahhh...


My thiefing gloves...


All (gasp)


Xox?! I knew those gloves were evil!


You'll never be worn by anyone but me ever again!


Don't leave me!


I can't go on alone!


I'm naked without you!


Wow, you've been working out?


(Kitten meows)


Look, it's the kitty from earlier!


Hey, little guy,


You'll love and never leave me, right?


We'll be magic together!


I'll never let you go!


I'm not needy and crazy!


Sorry for flinging you.


No hard feelings?


(Ferocious growl)


Eric ahhhhhhh!


I'm guessing there's hard feelings.


♪♪♪


(Vana strums the guitar)


(Snoring)


Hiiiiii-yah!


(Jolted awake) hmm?



Mmm... Vana! De-lish!


I wanna dip that performance in guacamole


And serve it to me cat!


(Laughs) okay! Who's next?


Oh! Oh! Oh me, professor metrognome.


I'll totally go next!


All right, eric,


Get up here and shake your music maker!


(Humming)


I carved this recorder myself


From the smouldering remains of a tree


That was cut down to make room for a sidewalk.


I call it... Paperboy.


(Cricket chirps)


(Deep inhale, loud rap music plays)


Awesome!


(expl*si*n)


I guess this wall just couldn't 'andle


The mad beats I'ze droppin'.


Students (cheer)


Kid ruthless is so the coolest guy


In the whole school!


Where did that accent come from?


He lives like two blocks from me.


Kid ruthless what's all this then?


You 'bout to play that lame recorder, bruv?


Lame? Okay, paperboy,


This guy thinks he can just walk in here


And steal our thunder?


Let's wail!


(Deep breath)


(High-pitched, off-key playing)


Students (moaning in pain)


(Glass shatters) make it stop!


(Pop)


(High-pitched, off-key playing)


(Laughing)


Brilliant, needles!


You nearly brought the bleedin' 'ouse down!


(High-pitched whistle, crash)


I stand corrected.


All (laugh)


Kid ruthless now, now, girls, there is enough kr to go around.


I don't know why everyone thinks that kid ruthless


Is so cool.


Yeah. Look at him over there


With his sweet bandana and his super style


And heroic good looks


And his limitless sidekick potential.


Pretty weak.


Kid ruthless oy, needles!


You land a record deal, yet?


Oh, that's right,


Your music only lands airplanes!


(Laughs)


What do you want, ruthless?


Nothin'.


Just wanted to say something really mean


And mildly comedic


So you look totally uncool.


Oh yeah?


Could a totally uncool guy eat his lunch like this?


Kid ruthless 'ere, mate!


Lemme 'elp wiv some pie 'n mash!


Wha? Seriously, pants?


Sorry.


(Laughing)


Check it.


(Rhythmic music starts, ruthless scratches records)


Big deal.


So ruthless can spin records and eat...


With his mouth.


I'm not impressed;


Are you guys?


Amazed! Dazzled!


I like the part where he did all of that!


Yeah, me neither.


I think it's time ruthless learned


Who the real top dog is.


I meant me.


(Struggling grunts)


Okay, trevor,


Pink belly option on two, on two!


Hut! Ungh! Tough defense!


He makes doing nothing look so cool!


(Angry growl) agh! (Forming plan) ahh!


Eric, if you're thinking about doing


What I think you're thinking about doing...


No, don't you see?


No one can be that cool and be good at sports!


This must be kid's weakness!


(Grunt of effort)


(Whooshing)


Ungh!


Waaaaaaa!!!


Students (cheering)


(Scoreboard dings)


Wow! Ruthless scored so many points


Everybody wins!


(Laughs)



Soooooo cool!


Eric agh!


That's it! I give up!


Me too!


Let's just turn ourselves in.


I've been on the run too long!


I can't take it anymore!


No, I mean I'm done trying to outcool kid ruthless.


What were you talking about?


Um...nothing? That! What? Yoink!


Yoink?


Dude! Why would you...?


Come on, eric, don't be bummed!


Kid ruthless is just better than you


In every conceivable way.


It's no big deal.


Vana oh, hi, kid! Love your hair today!


And yours lacks volume and shine.


Go 'ang wit your boy, needles.


(Laughs)


What? My hair?


But... Why you!


(Struggling grunts) let me go!


Hey, nobody insults my friend's hair


And tells them to hang out with me!


I'm gonna b*at ruthless at his own game:


Playing music and that...


Uh... Scratching records thing?


You mean deejaying?


I guess I mean deejaying!


Shalawnge!


What?


I challenge you to a battle of the bands!


Except it's only two bands. And not really bands...


More like solo deejay acts.


But it will be a battle -


Of that you can be certain!


(Laughing) you're havin' a laugh!


You want to battle me?


'Ave you ever even used a turntable before?


No, but I've turned the tables


On plenty of unsuspecting evildoers!


(Cricket chirps)


Brilliant!


Okay, tomorrow. Academy gymnasium.


Prepare to be destroyed.


(Gulps)


(Giggles)


Ah! Eric! Come in!


I was just tickling my feet.


But how are you?


Oh, that kid ruthless really hit you


Below the utility belt this morning!


Ouch!


Yes, sir. That's why I'm here.


It's time to put ruthless in his place.


You've made... A shalawnge?


Well, what are we waiting for?


Let's get wigglin'!


This gorgeous hunka machine is the montage-a-tron.


She can increase training speeds by six thousand percent!


It's banned by all four major pro sports leagues!


What about soccer?


What about soccer?


Let's go!


(expl*si*n)


(expl*si*n)


(expl*si*n)


(Timer beeps) woo-hoo!


(expl*si*n)


And a pinch of jazz, and we're done!


How's that feel?


Amazing.


But... How is all of that supposed to help me


In a deejay battle?


Och! You challenged kid ruthless to a deejay battle?


Eww, boy.


I thought it was the traditional


Sweater-fold-flat-tire-bouquet cup-stack-athon challenge.


Deejaying?


Why, he is gonna flambe your puddin'!


(Laughs)


What are these?


Just some standard battle forms.


Please initial and sign each page


On the front, back, all four corners,


And...in french.


I'm not sure


This is the same kind of battle of the bands


We had back at the orphanage.


(Repeatedly blowing into jugs)


Ha-ha!


Aghh!


And that's how you knew who won.


Yeah, our battles are pretty much the same


Except instead of blowing on jugs,


You fight for your life in a gruelling,


Last-man-standing, battle royale!


So, should I call the ambulance now or...?


I'll give you a minute.



Wait! How do I sign my name in french?!


(Bell dings)


Ladies and gentlemen!


This is a three round deejay battle royale


With the "coolest guy in the school"


Title on the line...


Brought to you by tighties,


The heavyweight champion of superhero tights!


If you've got flab, tighties makes you look fab!


Tighties!


Woo-hoo-hoo! Tighties!


Introducing first, in this corner,


Reigning deejay champion of the sidekick academy...


Kiiiiid ruthless!


(Scratching records)


And cowering in this corner,


With a history of nervous flatulence,


(Fart)


Your challenger, eric neeeedles!


(Farts repeatedly)


Gentlemen, when the bell rings, come out scratching!


(Bell dings, crowd cheers wildly)


(Scratching records)


Ahhhhhhh!


(Explosions)


(Crowd cheers wildly)


(Records whoosh)


I knew I'd get my break in the music industry some day!


That was awesooooome!


Oy, needles!


'Ow about a little bass-lift?! (Laughs)


(Resonating thumps)


(Crowd cheers wildly)


You okay, champ?


(Panting)


I can't see nothin'.


Cut me, trev. Cut me!


Nah! You don't wanna do it.


Go on, cut me. Cut me!


So, did you hear about fantastimonkey?


I know.


Who would have thought zookeeper thompson


Was his alter ego!


Scandalous.


Wanna see the back?


(Mirror shatters)


What am I going to do, man?!


I'm getting smoked out there!


Oh, so it's the mirror's fault?


What?!?


I'm just sayin' maybe if you cared a little less


About smashing beautiful antique mirrors


And a little more about deejaying,


You'd have a chance in this battle.


I just... I guess I don't care about deejaying.


I just got caught up with trying to be popular.


And now that I'm about to be pulverized,


I don't care much about that either.


Normally, I'm all over


The whole "don't care much" thing,


But, dude, this is not the time!


No! I do care about something.


Something important.


Something bigger than popularity!


I care about... My music!


Oof!


(Scratching records whoosh)


Well, needles, my boy, it's been sterling.


But I think it's time I put you outta your misery.


(Everyone gasps)


(Struggling grunts)


(Volume button cranks)


Sweet dreams, needles.


Ha-hah!


You shall not scratch!


(Laughs) not that bleedin' recorder again!


Fine. Take your best sh*t, needles.


I dare you!


If you insist.


(Inhales deeply)


(High-pitched, off-key playing)


(Everyone screams in terror)


(Deep rumbling)


(Plays a really high-pitched note)


(Ceiling bits crash down)


(Kid ruthless growls)


(Plays high-pitched note)


(Crash)


Okay, not exactly what I had in mind...


But woo-hoo!


Hey, eric!


Congrats on winning yesterday.


Um, thanks, kid.


You inspired me to go after my real passion


Bagpipes! Peace out, bruvuh!


Pfffttt! Bagpipes? How lame is that?!


I guess there's no doubt who the coolest kid


In the school is now!


(Playing the bagpipes really well)


Students (amazed) oh wow!



Trevor kid ruthless is the coolest kid ever!


(Laughs)


Oh, come on!


Seriously pants?
