[bunniefuu]

[ music ]

- Haha y'know I mean,

have to wear a helmet in the shower.

- Makes sense, it makes sense dude,

- Now Kid Danger and I are gonna be live-streaming

for about another minutes, sooo...

- Yep. And...

the name of our next video caller is...

J.D.!

- Hm, J.D. Could be initials.

- There's only one way to find out.

- Hey Captain Man and Kid Danger! It's--

- Uh, sorry about that--

seems like we had a technical problem there.

- Why does he keep disconnecting me?

- Probably 'cuz you keep calling him.

- Alright, we got another video caller

who goes by the name... "Mister E. Person."

- Ooo, "Mister E. Person."

- It is I! Doctor Minyak!

- Ohhhh, Mystery Person, I get it.

- Yeah.

- What do you want, Minyak?

- To challenge you, Captain Man!

- He wants to challenge you.

- Uh-huh. Challenge accepted.

- Wh-but you don't even know

what my challenge is.

- Don't care.

'Cuz I can b*at you at anything.

- Yeah, soooo...

- Yeah, whaddaya wanna lose to me at?

- Oh, I shan't lose.

Because I challenge you, Captain Man,

to a contest of SPELLING!

that Swellview's Yearly Spelling Bee

takes place next Friday!

- Uh-ohhhh...

- Huh, what? - Move, move move.

- Whaddaya mean I "can't spell?"

[ elevator dings ]

- I mean, I've read your texts and emails

and you're a terrible speller.

- Uhh you guys...? - Just a second.

I find your comments offensive.

- Well I'm sorry!

- You're just mean to me sometimes.

- Alright. Okay. Spell "sometimes."

- What?!? - Spell "sometimes."

- Okay. S... - All right. Mm-hm.

- U... - Wrong.

- Right. What?

Well that was a tricky one!

- It really wasn't dude.

- Hey, can I please say something?!?

- What what?!? - Yes, what what what what?

- You can't do this! - Why?

- 'Cuz! I'm gonna be in the Spelling Bee.

- You?

- Yeah, I've won the last three years in a row

and if I win this year, I'll be the first

Swellviewian ever to win four years straight!

- Ohhh, Charlotte.

Charlotte, Charlotte, Charlotte...

do you ever think about anybody but yourself?

- Wh-what?

- I can't have this one thing?

- He just wants this one thing.

- And you, as my friend, you won't let me have

just one moment in the sun,

to b*at Doctor Minyak at spelling?

- Just one sunny moment.

- But the guidance counselor at school said

it would be great for me if I--

- Great for YOU.

See? For YOU.

Must it ALL be about YOU Charlotte?

- Okaaay. Fine, I'm sorry.

- I hope so.

- Hi, we're back.

- It's about time!

- And I accept your challenge...

so, what's the bet?

- The bet is...

whichever of us loses the Spelling Bee...

must ride a child's tricycle...

all the way from Swellview...

to California and back!

- I was not expecting that...

- Yeah, pretty weird bet, dude.

- But I ain't gonna lose, so...

You got a bet, Minyak.

- Ah, lovely!

And you just wait, Captain Man.

You will lose.

And while you're tricycling

to California and back I shall--

- Ha!

He had more to say but you didn't care.

- Nope.

- Well, I guess I'll just call the Bee Board

and tell 'em I'm not gonna compete this year.

- Nah, no no no no! - No no no, no.

- Don't do that!

- But I thought you don't want me to win?

- I don't. - He doesn't.

- I want you to lose on purpose,

so I can win.

- Okay.

- And you can help

make sure that Minyak doesn't cheat.

- Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait...

You're a terrible speller.

How are you gonna win?!?

- Oh, I'm gonna cheat. - He's gonna cheat good.

- It all just kinda happened.

I wanted an after-school job.

But then, an indestructible superhero

hired me to be his sidekick.

- Ah!

- Now we blow bubbles...

and fight crime. Feels good.

- And we're back again!

[ ding ]

- We started with seven spellers.

Now, four of them have been defeated.

They're gone. And only three remain,

to compete for the coveted Swellview Spelling Bee trophy.

- C'mon Schwoz...

[ phone rings ]

- Hellooooo, I am Schwoz.

- Hey Schwoz, man, we have a big problem!!!

- What happened?!?

- Jasper got thrown outta the Spelling Bee, and...

and some guy ate a bunch of my foods!

- Then how are you going to help Ray spell words

he's too stupid to spell by himself?!?

- That's the problem!

Look if we can't help Ray spell,

then we gotta find a way

to make Doctor Minyak lose!

- Ooo, I know what to do!

- What?!? Tell me. Tell me.

- Okay, after Doctor Minyak

spells his next word...

you stand up and challenge the spelling!

- But if he spells it right, why should I challenge it?!?

- Because I'm going to change

the spelling of whatever word he spells!

- Dude you can't change the spelling of a word!!!

- Ha ha. Yes I can.

- How?!?

- With the internet.

- Wh...you're gonna change

the spelling of a word on the entire internet?

- Yah, if you will let me hang up this telephone.

- Alright okay okay, bye!

- Challenge the spelling!

- I got it, I will, okay hang up!

- Noooo, you hang up first.

- Oh my god!

- Doctor Minyak.

[crowd boos]

Okay Doctor Minyak,

your word is... Zeitgeist.

- Zeitgeist. Z-E-I-T-G-E-I-S-T.

Zeitgeist. Chaaaa!

- Correct! [ ding ]

- Wait! I uhh...

I challenge!

[crowd gasps]

- Uhhh young man... Doctor Minyak

spelled the word correctly.

- Yeah. It's right here,

in this dictionary book.

- Right...but umm...

the internet is way more up-to-date

than dictionary books...

which are made from trees.

Am I right?

- Okay, L'Varb, please check the spelling

of "zeitgeist" online.

- Almost... almost...

[ computers beeping ]

- Okay, the correct spelling of zeitgeist is

Z-E-I-T-G-E-I-S-T...Q.

- Q?!? [ crowd gasps ]

- Yes!

- Ah yes...

We can't forget the final Q...

in the word zeitgeist-qua.

- All right, it seems that our dictionary-book is wrong,

which means, so is Doctor Minyak.

- That's right Trent.

[ buzzer ] You're outta here!!!

- Oh come on! What sort of Bee is this?!?

- It's the sort of Bee that you just lost, Minyak.

Better get your tricycle ready,

to ride to California and back.

[ laughing ]

- Yeah, Minyak!

Yeah.

Well excuse me, Captain Man,

but you haven't won this Bee yet!

If that girl wins, then you also lose,

and you will have to pedal with me to California...

and back.

- Oh yeah. Right.

- Ha ha! Yesssss!

- Okay, Captain Man.

Your word to spell is...

Pectoral.

- Pectoral. Okay no problem.

I believe "Pectoral" is spelled...

Uhhh... okay, I got this,

I can do this, okay uh...Pectoral.

Well, obviously it starts with a P...right?

Followed by E?

then...C.

- C'mon

- Um... T...

uh...O...R...

- Just two more letters to go!!!

- Hey, she can't tell him that!

- I'll allow it.

- And the last two letters of "pectoral" are...

A...

[ dramatic music ]

[ cheers echo ]

[ cheering ]

[ cheers echoing ]

W.

- Wha-- - No.

- Ahh!

- Wrong! You're Captain Wrong!

[ buzzer ]

Okay, Charlotte,

if you can spell "Pectoral"

then you win.

- P-E-C-T-O-R-A-L. Pectoral.

- Correct! [ ding ]

- Thank you.

- Well, Captain Man...

- Whoah... Yeah!

- You're a good guy...

who has to pedal a tricycle to California and back.

- Nahhhh.

- C'mon dude, you made a bet.

- Yeah but...

Minyak's not gonna really go through with that. Y'know?

- To California!

- Alright, this is stupid.

[ car horn honks ]

- Ah, shut up!!!

[ oven bell ] - Mmm.
