03x09 - The Void/Into The Woods

Post by bunniefuu »

[Opal] Coming up next on Odd Squad...

[Oswald] A bunch of agents went through that tunnel

and only some came out the other side.

[Omar] Maybe the three of them have something in common

that I don't. [Omar] This makes no sense!

[knocking on door]

[van computer] Oh no, the void monster!



[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla and Oswald.

This is a opossum on his birthday.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird, and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.



[cheering]



[all] Shields up!



[Opal] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.



[Opal] The Void.



[Omar] Here we are, Newport, Maine.

And there's the odd tunnel the Big O asked us to check out.

[gadget whirring]

Are you certain this is the right tunnel?

My Odometer readings seem very normal.

Orla, you're holding it upside down.

[gadget whirring]

Ah, yes. The readings are very bad.

Of course it's bad!

A bunch of agents went through that tunnel

and only some came out the other side.

It-- it makes no sense.

Pulling up images of the agents who disappeared

-inside the tunnel. -Allow me.

[van computer] Airbags initiated.

-Wait, what? -[air hissing]

-Whoa! -[shouting]

-Omar! -Come on!

Hang on, hang on, I got it, I got it.

[van computer] Switching to Spanish language mode.

Como le puedo ayudar?

I... don't know what you're saying.

[Opal, Oswald & Orla] She said, "How may I help you?"

You guys all speak Spanish?

-[Opal, Oswald & Orla] Si. -[Opal] Van computer...

Por favor vuelve a modo de lenguaje en ingles

y desinfla las airbags.

[van computer] Switched to English language mode

and deflating airbags.

Why don't I handle the buttons?

[Opal] These are the nine agents

-who disappeared in the tunnel. -[Omar] Okay.

Let's just drive the van through the tunnel to find them.

-Well... -[uneasy murmuring]

Come on, guys, our van can fly!

I'm pretty sure it can handle a teeny, tiny tunnel.

-Agreed. -He has a point.

[Omar] You guys won't regret this.

[tense instrumental]

[panting]

I immediately regret this.

Where did our van go?!

Better question, where did Omar go?!

-Omar! -Omar!



Guys?



Opal? Oswald?

Orla?

Maybe they're outside.



Uh, van computer,

where are we?

[van computer] We are trapped in a void.

[Omar] Wait a minute,

that's the tunnel I just drove through...

and that must be the tunnel exit!

I'm out of here.



Ugh, this makes no sense!

Van computer, how did this happen?

[van computer] Rolling playback.

[Omar] Our van can fly!

I'm pretty sure it can handle a teeny, tiny tunnel.

Okay. I can handle this on my own.

Let's talk this out.

I was with Opal, Orla and Oswald in the van.

[van computer] And then you drove through the tunnel.

And then I ended up in this void.

But Opal, Orla and Oswald didn't.

Maybe the three of them have something in common

that I don't and that's why they're not here and I am!

[van computer] So, if you can figure out

what they have in common

that might be your clue how to escape.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

[van computer] I am glad I am here

so you don't have to talk to yourself.



Alright, I made a table

with Opal, Oswald and Orla along the top row.

Along the side I'll put their attributes,

-or characteristics. -[van computer] That way

you can see what they have in common

-that you don't. -Yep!

Let's start with their ages.

Opal is , Oswald is , and Orla is...

.

Okay, so not that.

Eye colour?

Opal has brown eyes, Oswald has blue eyes

and Orla has brown eyes.

[van computer] Eye colour is not a common attribute.

And I thought things were tough

when everyone was speaking Spanish!

Wait, that's it!

Opal, Oswald and Orla all speak Spanish

and I don't. That's what they have in common.

So, I just need to learn Spanish to get out of the void.

[van computer] Let's begin. Hola.

-Hola. -[mouse] ¿Hola como estas?

Muy bien, y muy esponjoso.

-[chuckling] -Muy gracioso.

Estoy andando y hablando.

Hola me llamo Omar, y tu como te llamas?

[van computer] Mi nombre es Van Computer.

Estoy encantado de conocerte.

Hey, I can speak Spanish!

-[beeping] -Vamos!



This makes no sense!

Speaking Spanish had nothing to do with it.

-[banging on van door] -What is that?

[van computer] Could be a void monster.

-Those exist?! -[van computer] Maybe.

My first time in a void.



[banging continues]



-Uh, who are you? -Onetta.

I came to investigate an odd tunnel.

I walk in and, whamo, I ended up here.

Hang on, I recognize you!

You're one of the missing agents the Big O sent us to find.

-And now you're stuck here too. -We're not stuck,

we just haven't figured a way out yet.

Mind if I come in?



I'm Agent Omar, by the way.

You live in this van by yourself?!

No, there's four of us. Well, there were.

I'm the only one who ended up here.

Guess we're roommates now. Or vanmates.

Stuck-in-the-voidmates.

Hang on, you just gave me an idea.

Better than stuck-in-the-voidmates?

No way.

[Omar] I tried to collect data

on what Opal, Orla and Oswald had in common,

but maybe I need to ask

what the two of us have in common.

And that might be the reason why we got stuck in the void

-and they didn't? -Exactly!

Van computer,

let's create a table showing Onetta and me.

-[van computer] Generating. -[Omar] You and I

are along the top row

and our attributes are along the side.

It can't be our department that we have in common

'cause I'm an agent with the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

[Onetta] And I'm Security.

What about hair colour?

[Onetta] Mine is blond, yours is black.

No match. We need to think of more attributes.

Or, we can make the most of being stuck here

and do some roller-skating.

Those belong to Opal, Orla and Oswald.

-I can't roller-skate. -Me neither.

I guess that makes us stuck-in-the-voidmates

who-can't-skate-great.

Wait, that's what you and I have in common,

we can't roller-skate!

[beeping]

So, if we knew how to roller-skate

we wouldn't be stuck in the void?

We're about to find out.



-[Onetta] We can do this. -[Omar] Yep!

The walls are safe, just keep holding--

-where are you going?! -[Omar] Bad idea!

Bad... idea.

-[Onetta] Use the walls! -[Omar] That's easier.

Oh, hey, look at me go!

How do you stop?!

[clattering]

Nothing to crash into here.



[giggling]

Woohoo!

[both] We're roller-skating!



Now, let's get out of here!



[Omar] Not again!

Roller-skating had nothing to do with us getting stuck here.

-[banging on van door] -[both screaming]

-[van computer] A void monster! -I'll check it out.



Hey! You're the missing Mr. O.

What, were you expecting a void monster?

[chuckling]



We came looking for Agent Onetta.

I filled a bus with agents but we were the only ones

to get stuck in the void without our bus.

-[Onetta] Mr. O! -[Mr. O] Onetta!

-Are you okay? -[Onetta] I'm fine.

We need to find a way out.

Maybe we all have something in common!

I collected a ton of data

and the only thing we have in common

is that we're all hungry.

Snacks are in the break room.

Thanks.

[Mr. O] I wonder what food tastes like in the void.



I still don't understand how I ended up here.

[van computer] Rolling playback.

[Omar] Our van can fly! I'm pretty sure it can--

Thank you, van computer.

Maybe I'm not cut out to be an agent.



[van computer] Switching to Spanish language mode.

-Como le puedo ayudar? -[groaning]

With the buttons, again!

Can't even set my badge down right.

Wait a minute...

my badge!

Quick, tell me your badge numbers.

[speaking over each other]

Okay, let's try one at a time.

[Omar] Check it out, I made a table using

all our badge numbers as data

and look, my partners Opal, Orla and Oswald

all have even badge numbers.

Even numbers end in a zero, two, four, six or eight

and can be divided into two equal groups.

Any number ending in a one, three, five, seven or nine

is an odd number, like mine, number ,

or Onetta's, number .

Odd numbers can't be divided into two equal groups.

So, that's what we all have in common?

[Omar] Yep!



So, that's why they didn't get pulled into the void and we did.

But why didn't our bus

get pulled into the void but your van did?

[van computer] El numero de mi matricula es el uno.

Whoa, this thing speaks Spanish?!

Yeah, and it just said that

the license plate is a one, odd number.

Our bus license plate is a four, even number!

So, what do we do now?

It's not like we can change our badge numbers.

We can't...

but a Mr. and Ms. O can!

They can also perform weddings on a boat,

but let's focus on the badges.

Well, what are we waiting for? Go!



...

[torch crackling]

By the power vested in me

and this sock puppet that looks like the Big O,

you have a new agent number.

By the power vested in me and this sock puppet...

...And this sock puppet that looks like the Big O,

you have a new agent number.

Psst, it was my first time welding.

You did great! Now, let's get out of here.



[gadget whirring]

[Opal] Look, do you guys see that?!

-Whoa! -[Orla] Is that the van?!

[triumphant instrumental]

[Opal, Orla & Oswald] Omar!

[Omar] I did it! I got us out of the void!

[Opal, Orla & Oswald] Us?

Honk the horn, honk the horn.

[van computer] Air bags initiated.

[air hissing]

[giggling]

Whoops.

Wrong button.



[lion roaring]

[Opal] Odd Squad Training Video #:

Know Your Team.

Greetings, Agent Oswald here.

The rest of my team is here too,

but they can't say hi, because they're in...

baa-d shape.

-[Oswald chuckling] -Get it? Baa-d shape?

Because they've turned into baby goats.

I make jokes when I'm nervous.

Fortunately, I can turn Opal, Omar, and Orla

back into humans with this...

an Animal-to-Humaninator gadget.

But first, I need to figure out which goat is which agent.

This shouldn't be too hard.

Opal, which one of you is Opal?

Say, "I'm Opal," if your name is Opal.

Write down your name.

If you're Omar, come to me.

This is gonna be harder than I thought...

but I have an idea.

I can figure out which goat is which agent

by using process of elimination.

That means getting rid of incorrect answers

to find the correct answers. And to do that,

I can use the information I know about my team.

For example, I know Orla doesn't like pizza.

Who's hungry?

A-ha! These two goats clearly like pizza,

so they can't be Orla.

And by process of elimination I know the white goat is Orla.

I made them personalized sweaters

to tell them apart.

I also knit when I'm nervous.

Next, I know Opal doesn't like disco music.

[funky disco music plays]

This grey goat likes music

and this white-brown goat doesn't!

So, the grey goat must be Omar,

and by process of elimination

I know the only goat left is Opal.

There are no other possibilities.

Woohoo! Yeah!

Here we go.

[gadget zapping]

[Orla, Opal and Omar sighing in relief]

How long were we baby goats?

Long enough for me to paint this.

I also paint when I'm nervous.



[Opal] Into the Odd Woods.



Opal, is it me or is it getting a little warm in here?

I'm fine.

Maybe you're coming down with something.

-A-choo! -[horn honking]

What's happening? I think it's a case

-of the sillies. -It's much worse than that.

Omar has clownitosis.

It starts in your noseis,

then spreads to your toesis.

Guys, this is weird.

Omar, do you have any idea how this could have happened?

Thanks for the ride, Bop-Bop, Mizbo, Bozo, Frou-Frou,

Rosco, Wing-Ding, Lulu, Skip and...

Tim.

I honestly have no idea.

There's an antidote.

We must head into the Odd Woods,

deep into the forests of São Paulo, Brazil.

How much time is left before he goes full clown?

-[horn honking] -I'd say not much.

[gasping]

[van computer] Now approaching the Odd Woods.

One us needs to stay here and keep an eye on Omar.

How come?

Well, as the clownitosis gets worse,

he'll try to run away and join the circus.

[horn honking]



-[Orla] I shall stay! -[shouting in alarm]

No clown has ever made me laugh,

so you can trust that I will keep

a fierce eye on our young--

oh, there he goes. Not on my watch!

If it's helpful, I have a clown to English dictionary--

and they're gone.

So, how many ingredients are in the antidote?

Let me just check here in one of my books.

Just a few hundred pages to look through.

Not so bad.

[van computer] Here are three ingredients.

Printing them now.

Wow, van computer! That was fast.

[chuckling]

Yeah, great work.

You know, it's too bad we gotta rely on my books

and can't bring you with us.

Sure we can!

[whirring]



This thing is totally portable.

Just... super.

[van computer] I too am excited. I look forward to the feeling

of fresh air on my mega-processors.



[Opal] According to this list the van gave us,

the first ingredient for the antidote

is an Odd Pumpkin, which should be right...

here.

[both] Whoa!

[Opal] But how do we know which pumpkin to choose?

I got this.

[grunting]

Let's see...

Past travellers described the pumpkin we need

smelling like a freshly washed pair of socks.

[van computer] It might be quicker to use me.

I am programmed to give numerical data.

Numerical data?

[van computer] Information that is always presented in numbers.

Sounds faster.

Van computer, how can we find the pumpkin we need?

[van computer] The pumpkin you need has a temperature

of ° Fahrenheit on the inside.

Boom, we can figure out its temperature

with this thermometer.

I'm gonna stick with the old shnozzola.

[Oswald humming]

[Opal] The red line went up to ,

so that means the inside of this pumpkin

is ° Fahrenheit.

Too cold.



° Fahrenheit.

Too hot.

[sniffing]

This one smells like a freshly washed hat.

Here it is, ° Fahrenheit.

[groaning in exertion]

[sniffing]

Yep, freshly washed pair of socks.

-That's the one. -Perfect, let's go!



Halt! You must not leave.

Thank you. Now, if you would just--

-[splattering] -[Orla] The clownitosis

has gotta stronger...

smarter...

sugarier.

[shouting] But still not funny! Halt!

The second ingredient is a rock from the mystical rock garden.

I'm pretty sure this is it.

[groaning]

[screaming]

Why is he yelling at us?!

I don't know,

but I have a rock person to English dictionary.

Oh, I speak English,

I was just yawning.

I haven't had a visitor in years,

so I do a lot of napping.

Anyways...

I am the guardian of the r-r-r-rocks!

Who here wishes to take a r-r-r-rock

from my ancient garden of r-r-r-rocks?

Am I saying "rock" a lot?

One more. R-r-r-rock!

-[chuckling] -My name is Opal

and this is my partner, Oswald. We work for Odd Squad.

We need to find a rock in your garden

to cure a friend of clownitosis.

In order to use my rocks

you must first answer my impossible riddle.

What is heavy...

and solid, and...

makes a very nice paperweight?

Um, a rock?

Ah! That is correct!

[chuckling] Okay, cool.

Take what you need.

I'm going to read my -year-old paper.

[Oswald] The rock we need should taste exactly like

a banana split with a cherry on top.

Did you say taste?!

[rock guardian] It's a kind of categorical data.

I couldn't help overhearing you guys.

Uh, categorical is a different kind of data

from numerical.

It uses, uh, the senses,

like what something smells, sounds,

or tastes like.

That's the kind of data in my books!

Are you telling me your book says

we have to taste the rocks?

Oh, not to worry!

I wash these rocks every hour,

on the hour!

[sighing]



This one's kinda minty.

There's gotta be an easier way!

Van computer, can you give us some numerical data?

[van computer] The rock you need weighs one pound.

You may now use me as a scale.

-Isn't that cool, Oswald? -[chuckling]

[strained] Yeah, so cool...



[van computer] Three pounds.

Too heavy.



[van computer] Half a pound.

Too light.



[van computer] One pound.

Got it!

Let me check that.

Banana split with a cherry on top.

Impressive. How long have you two been partners?

A few months.

No, I mean her and her computer thingie.

-[chuckling] -Well...



Omar...

where are you?

I have a frown you can turn upside down.

[muttering] Not likely.

[gasping]

Omar, I know you're in there.

We can do this the easy way or the silly way.

Fine, the silly way it is.

[jingle playing]



[Orla] Huh?

-[horn honking] -[splattering]

[Orla] Still not funny!

If only the real Omar knew how much pie you were wasting.

[Oswald] According to my books,

they call this place Baby Bamboo Grove.

Not sure why.

Probably because the bamboo trees are so tiny.

Which is the last ingredient we need

and our specific bamboo tree has...

You're just gonna ask the computer, aren't you?

That's what I was thinking, too!

You know what? You win.

Van computer, what do you know about the bamboo we need?

[van computer] The bamboo you need is one foot tall.

On it! We can use a ruler to measure.

Since a ruler is inches, which is the same as one foot...

That means...

the bamboo we need will be exactly as long as the ruler!



[Opal] Look at that, inches exactly.

Opal, wait. I think all the bamboo trees

are the same length.

[Opal] Huh...

One foot...



Also one foot.

The numerical data is all the same.

We'll need some other information

to figure out which bamboo tree it is.

Never fear, categorical data is here!

-[grunting] -[gasping]

[screaming]

Okay, Baby Bamboo Grove makes way more sense now.

[giggling]

[phone ringing]

-Opal here. -Opal,

clown Omar has escaped the van.

He's off to join the circus.

Sorry, we've run into a little...

giant baby problem.

-[gurgling] -[Orla] Opal!

[muffled shouting over phone]

What? I can't hear you.

I had whip cream in my mouth.

-[horn honking] -Hey!

Stop right there!

Clown Omar is on the move.

We need to get your book back.

-But how? -With this,

my baby to English dictionary.

[baby giggling]

Goo goo...

Ga... ga ga goo goo...

Goo goo!



[giggling]

Yes!

-I got the book! -Nice work, Oswald.

The book says it's the polka dot bamboo.

[Opal] Polka dot bamboo, got it!

-Let's go! -Yeah!

Time to make pie!



-[Oswald] The antidote is ready. -[Opal] Good work.

-[Orla] There is Omar! -[Oswald] Omar, stop!

-We have the antidote! -[panting]

[Opal] Are you sure you can do this?



-[splattering] -[poof]

[laughing]

What is so funny?

I just got pied.

It's hilarious.

I will never understand clowns.

You want some?

No.

Mm, more for me.



[Oona] Welcome to Odd Squad: A Guide to Your Gadgets.

Behold, the Pillowinator.

makes pillows of many shapes and sizes.

I just made this one.

Just gonna... put my head down it...

[Opal] Odd Squad.

Teaming up with Teamwork Together as a Team.

Hey, I'm Omar.

I work for the very first Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

I get to travel around the world in this awesome van!

It solves so much oddness, and occasionally...

I stop to get a souvenir.

We could tour Toronto and get a souvenir.

I guess I'll just step away

and find a North Carolina souvenir.

I got a souvenir!

Maybe more than occasionally.

I like to have something to remember

the amazing moments of my life.

But it isn't all fun and games

here at the Odd Squad Mobile Unit.

Devil's Tower board game.

You need to put the ball in the hole.

Cards!

Well, this has been fun to do.

Wish I had a souvenir to remember it.

Or maybe I do.

That's a mini-me in there.

Now wait for it...

-[winds blowing] -Yeah!

[Opal] Odd Squad. Teams Working with Teams

Together as a Team Together. I think that was it.
