03x02 - The Borg of the Ring

[bunniefuu]

* We're moving, we're b*ating
hacker at this game! *

* Don't tell that he's trying
to hack the motherboard, *

* We'll get him every time!

* Cosmic worlds,

* Freaky places
that we've seen, *

* We've got the power
of one, two, three, four! *

* Running in a cyberchase,
we'll meet him face to face, *

* We'll stick together
all the time! *

* Adventures in cyberspace,

The chase is on!

* Just wait
and c-y-b-e-r-chase! *

Radster :
like, watch this mad-air, dude!

Whoa!
Like I've been crowned!

Radster :
dude, you found,

Like, the totally rad
ring of radapolis!

We better get it to
king dudicus, pronto!

King dudicus:
oh! The totally rad ring
of radopolis!

Whoever possesses
this ring,

Is like, granted
their heart's desire.

Like, according to legend,

Master pi bestowed the totally
rad ring on king stoked

For his bravery in thwarting
the take-over of warren,

The wayward genie.

But before he could use it,

Stoked lost the ring doing
a nosegrab, dude.

Boy, this ring is like,
totally powerful!

Observe.

My heart's desire is like,

One grande cyber bean burrito!

Tubular!

Radster :
king d, we gotta put
this ring someplace safe.

Well, the only totally
safe place is like-

(Rumble and swoosh of a ship)

Radsters:
hacker!

The only place
that ring is going

Is on my handsome head

To fulfill all of my heart's
dastardly desires!

Let's see...
What do I want first?

I know!

My heart's desire is
my own head of hair!

Oh! I look fabulous!

King dudicus:
I think it looks totally bogus,
dude.

Well, see how this looks!

My heart's desire is to,
like, ground all radsters!

(Shocked gasps)

Like, you won't get away
with this hacker!

I like, just did!
(Gleeful laugh)

Motherboard!
We got mucho problemos!

Matt:
welcome back to radapolis,
guys!

Inez:
look out!

Ahhhhhh!

Matt:
whoa!

Jackie:
man, talk about chaos!

Matt:
that's because hacker
got rid of the wheels

On their skateboards,
bikes and stuff!

Inez:
matt!

Radster:
sorry dude!

There's no telling what else
hacker will do with that ring.

Wee! Whoops!

Let's roll, earthlies!

Hacker's set up
a command post at point dune.

Hop on!

Matt:
radopolis without wheels
is like, totally wrong!

@
Inez:
they're trying to use cans,
balls and barrels

Instead of wheels.

Kids:
yee-haa!

Yeowwwww!

Digit:
this road is the only way
to get to point dune,

And it's blocked!

Inez:
that train has no wheels.

Matt:
we can't wait! Move out!

Inez:
no!

Jackie:
matt!

Digit:
no!

Just tell me if we make it!

Jackie:
matt!

Matt:
what?

I got us over the train,
didn't i?

Inez:
and broke the back wheel,
too!

Matt:
oh, man.

Sorry.

Digit:
now what?

There aren't any wheels
left in radopolis.

Oh no!

Hacker's going to use that ring
to take-over all of cyberspace,

And there's nothing we
can do about it! Nothing!

Matt:
maybe something.

Didge, can you beak
this stone into a wheel?

Digit:
you draw the shape,
I'll beak it!

(Jackhammer sound)

One stone wheel -
let's roll!

Inez:
uh, this wheel doesn't
look very-

Matt:
later! Let's go!

(Effort grunts)

Digit:
yoikes!

What's wrong
with our new wheel?

I was trying
to tell you.

Your wheel's not round!
See?

Jackie:
so when it turns,
everything bumps up and down.

A wheel needs to be
totally round,

Like a circle.

Ew! That's not
very round, either.

Inez:
let me try!

Gee, drawing a circle's
harder than it looks!

How can we make sure
it's round?

Hacker:
now that my chaos command
center is all set-up,

It's time to create
some major chaos!

And my heart's next desire...

Turn the good vibrations
of shangri-la

Into bad vibrations!

The boss gets new hair.

The chaos of his choice,

And what do we get?
Nothing!

Right, deedee?

Yeah.
Right, buzzy.

Hey boss, how about
letting me and buzzy

Wear that ringie-thingie

So we can get our
hearts desires too?

Like what?

Well, you know, uh...

Maybe a lifetime supply
of sprinkly donuts?

Yeah...

And a bunny I can love
and keep and call george!

I have a better idea,

My heart's desire is
for you bumbling boneheads

To stop talking!

(Speaking but with no sound)

This just keeps getting
better and better!

A circle, smooth with
the same shaped curve

All the way around.

There has to be a way!

Matt:
there better be a way

Or we'll never reach hacker
in time!

A circle?

(Gasp) I see a circle!

Where? Where?

I'll show you.

Your yo-yo makes a circle

Because the string keeps it
the same distance from my hand

When I swing it around.

Matt:
so if we can draw
a curve on the stone

That's always the same
distance from one e spot,

We'll have our circular wheel!

Hey, let's use this rock!

It's already got a hole
we can use for the center.

Inez:
keep the string tight,
matt.

The marker has to stay the same
distance from the center,

All the way around.

Perfect!
We made a circle!

Digit:
I'll beak it!

One perfectly round wheel
coming at you!

(Jackhammer sounds)

Jackie:
cool! Circles rock!

Matt:
actually, jax...
They roll! (Laughs)

Very funny.

(Hacker laughing)

What do you think,
boys?

I was hoping you'd
say that!

What's this?

The goody, goody g*ng
to the rescue?

I don't think so.

It's my heart's desire
to stop them in their tracks!

Inez:
look out!

Ahhhh!

Slider:
grab on!

Matt:
hey, thanks for saving us.

Inez:
wait, you can't
just leave us here.

We need a ride!

Slider:
not my problem.

But we have to
stop hacker!

He has the
totally rad ring!

Just became my problem.

Digit:
he's using the ring's power
to wreck cyberspace!

Slider:
come on!

Matt:
I don't trust this guy.

Jackie:
really?

I think he's
kind of cute.

(Giggle)
me, too!

@
Digit:
I think you're cute, matty.

Whatever!

Matt:
what is his problem?

Jackie:
maybe he's the quiet,
sensitive type.

Inez:
what are you doing?

Here.

You expect these
to work?

Got a better idea?

Inez:
this is awesome!

You saved us twice.

Uh, we don't even
know your name.

Name's slider.

Jackie:
I'm jackie,

That's inez,
matt and digit.

Matt:
enough with the intros!

We've got to find
point dune

And get the ring
from hacker!

Slider:
wait!

After we get the ring back

We've got to put it someplace
it'll be safe forever!

The circle of supreme safety

Is somewhere
in the stokified forest.

It'll be faster if some
of us find the circle

And the others go get
the ring back from the hacker.

Jackie:
I'll go with slider
and find the circle.

Inez:
or I can go with slider.

Matt:
I'll go with slider
and find hacker.

You two find the circle
of supreme safety.

Digit:
I think I'll go
with matt and slider.

To keep the peace.

Slider:
move out!

Music

Digit:
matt! Slider!
Hey, wait up!

Hacker:
and now to dismantle
motherboard...

What's this?
(Gasp)

@
A tangle?!

Take motherboard apart?!

We gotta get that ring
quick!

Matt:
too bad we don't have
a fake ring.

We could switch it
with the real one

Without hacker knowing.

That'll work.

Matá:
why do we always
have to follow him?

He's got an idea.

But it was my idea!

The circle
of supreme safety!

I don't think so.

Jackie:
it's a circle!
It's gotta be it!

Uh-oh!
(Nervous giggle)

I think I know
where we are...

Sinking circle valley!

Go!

Jackie:
look out!

Matt:
the fake ring has to look
just like the original

The same shape, same size,
same everything,

Or it won't work.

Digit:
yeah!

How you gonna pull
that off?

With this.

It's the plan the original
ring was made from.

Whoa!
Where'd you get that?

My father.

We gotta cut out
a circle

That matches this ring
exactly.

We need to cut out
two circles!

One, for the inside edge
of the ring.

The other,
for the outside edge.

Digit:
but how do we know
how big to make 'em?

Slider:
we need to adjust the radius.

Uh-huh.

What am I missing here?

Don't worry, didge.

The radius is the distance
from the center point

Out to the edge of the circle.

To change how big
or small a circle is

Just change the radius.
I'll show you.

Slider:
never mind. I'll make it!

And I've got just
the tool to do that!

Sheesh.
What's with this guy?

Slider:
inner circle radius:
cyberunits.

Outer circle radius:
cyberunits.

We just have to put
the markings on it.

May i?

Sure.

Ta-da!

Matt:
an exact copy!

Let's make a switch.

Inez:
hey, that must be it!

The real circle
of supreme safety!

@
Jackie:
oh yeah! Now what do we do?

The ring has to be
placed precisely

At the center point
of the circle.

Which is... Where?

Jackie:
I don't know!

There's nothing inside
to tell us where the center is!

How are we ever going
to find it?

Hacker:
now where was i?

Oh yes, yes.
Dismantle motherboard.

Where shall I start?
I know!

My heart's desire is...

To remove all of her memory
shields!

(Laughs)

Matt:
motherboard!

@
Watching the downfall
of motherboard's defenses

Is too delicious!

Wish I had some popcorn.

I love this ring!

Matt:
motherboard can't
hold on much longer!

(Motherboard breaking down)

Inez:
which way now, jax?

A little more
to the left.

No! To the right!
Yes! No!

Argh!

Inez:
how's this?

The exact center?

I can't tell for sure!

Oh, man, how do you find
the exact middle of anything?

Inez:
there's got to be a way!

I mean even this square
piece of paper has a middle.

Jackie:
okay, what do we know?

We know the middle is

The spot that's
the same distance

From each of the four sides.

Right!

The same as halfway across!

So if I fold it in half...

The middle is also
halfway down!

And if I fold it in half
the other way...

Jackie:
where the folds cross
is exactly

The middle of the square!

The same distance to the edge

Up, down, left and right!

Inez:
but the circle of safety
is a circle not a square.

Hmm... Maybe it works
for a circle, too.

Oh look!

This leaf is like a circle!

We fold it in half across,
so the edges meet exactly.

Inez:
then fold it the other way.

Where the folds cross
marks the middle.

The exact center
of the circle.

Jackie:
and it has to be the center,

'Cause it's the same distance
from here

Out to the leaf's edge,
all the way around.

But we need something
a lot bigger than this leaf

To find the center
of that circle!

In a matter of minutes
motherboard will be helpless,

And cyberspace will be mine
for the taking! (Laugh)

Monsieur!

Who are you?

The cyberworld famous hair
photographer, fillip!

I must have picture
of your perfect hair

To show all of cyberspace!

Hacker:
why didn't I think of that?

Snap away!

But the ring on your head

Is casting a shine
on the camera.

Can't have that, can we?
It's off.

Look this way!

That is it!

Oh, work with me!
Pout! Preen!

That is it, monsieur!

The hair... Incredible!

Don't forget the conditioner

And watch for split ends.

Au revoir.

Split ends?
Me? Never!

With this hair,
this brain, this ring...

There is no stopping me!

What is it?!

Charades?
Fine. What?

A movie? A book?

How many words?

Two? First word.

My head? Genius?

Handsome?

Ring?

Ring! Ring it is.

So what about my ring?

Second word.
Two syllables?

Talking?
Phone? Phone!

Phone...o? Phone...e?

Phone-e? Phoning...
Phone-y...

Phony ring?!

They switched the rings?!

Inez, we've got the ring!

Inez:
and we found the circle
of supreme safety!

Sending you the location now!

We need to find the center
of this circle, now!

Try this!

We can make a pattern of this
circle with this cloth!

Cool! The cloth matches
the circle!

Make sure the edges match up.

I'll mark the halfway
fold line on the ground.

Inez:
now unfold and fold
the other way!

Now make that line.

Pull it!

Jackie:
there it is!

Inez:
where the lines cross!

The center of the circle!

Inez:
all we need is the ring.

Where are those guys?

Digit:
hacker is gaining on us!

Hacker:
I want my ring back!

Matt:
look out!

Hacker:
ahhhh!

Slider:
thanks. Let's go.

Inez:
slider!

Jackie:
you made it!

Digit:
what are we,
chopped liver?

Slider:
did you find the center
of the circle?

Girls:
yup!

Okay!

Matt:
time out!

We better double check to make
sure it's the exact center!

Matt's right.

If it's not the exact center

The circle won't accept it.

Inez:
how do you know
so much about this?

My father knows
all about the ring.

Once, hacker tried to get
him to find it for him.

My father wouldn't do it...

Haven't seen him since.

Matt:
gee...

C'mon, double-check.

No time to waste!

We can use the yo-yo again!

If this point really
is the center of the circle,

Then every point on the edge-

Should be the same distance
from the center.

Got the radius!

It's the same distance
from the center

All the way around!

That is the exact center!

Put the ring down!
Hurry!

Hacker:
I don't think so!

Inez:
nice hair, hacker.

Jealous?

Humph!

Now give me that ring!

Inez:
catch!

Slider:
it's all yours,
hacker.

Jackie:
what?

Inez:
slider, no!

Digit:
don't do it!

I knew he was bad news!

That's more like it!

Now, to get rid
of you meddling munchkins!

My heart's desire is

For you all to be banished
to the northern frontier!

Forever!

What?
It didn't work!

This isn't the real ring!

That's right.

I made two fake rings
just in case.

Here's the real one.

Matt!

Stop him!

Matt:
touchdown!

Hacker:
yeeeow!

Matt:
the totally rad ring
is safe forever!

We did it!

Girls:
we saved motherboard!

Hey thanks, slider.

Gee, you think we will
ever see him again?

I hope so.

Digit:
I have feeling we will.

Matt:
hey, there's our circle home!
Come on!

Bye, bye, bad guy!

Hacker:
I had it all!
The ring!

My own hair!

Chaos and confusion!

Gone! All gone!

But you still got us,
boss!

Yeah, and we can talk again!

(Laughing)

Hacker:
ahhhhhh!

Stay right where you are,

It's cyberchase for real.

Bianca:
times square.

Nd street.

Bright lights, big shows.

What a great place
to spend a day.

Am I lucky or what?

An arcade!

(Gasp)

Man:
yellow! We have a winner.

Woo hoo!

Man:
take home a prize.
You have to play to win.

Round and round she goes,

Where she stops nobody knows.

Blue.

Woo hoo!

Man:
what a lucky boy!

Another winner on
sleaze-ays wonder wheel!

Maybe my luck would be better
if I tried a brighter color.

Hey!
These are mine!

Okay, you don't have to be
so nasty about it.

Man:
round and round she goes...

Where she stops nobody knows.

Black.

We have another winner!

Uh huh!
Oh yeah!

Don't you already have
too many of those?

One last try.

What a minute!

Those pegs aren't
arranged in a circle.

Oh yes they are!

They go all the way
around the wheel, see?

Well, just cause they
go all the around,

Doesn't mean that
they're circular.

You're right.

They don't look peculiar.

Have a nice day.

I didn't say peculiar,
I said circuyar...

I mean, circular.

Those pegs go in
and out.

They're not the same
distance from the center.

In a circle,

The distance from the center
to any point on it

Is always the same.

The same distance
from the center?

Yeah,
the same distance.

That's what makes it
a circle.

Yeah,
I don't have a ruler,

You have a nice day.

You don't need a ruler,

You just need a piece
of string.

I don't have a string.

Step right up.

Come on, try your luck.

Bianca:
may i?

Man:
suit yourself.

This game is as crooked
as these pegs.

Well, the nails might be
a little uneven.

This whole game is crooked.

You can't even win unless
you play black, yellow or blue.

Which your little friend
here always plays.

Congratulations.

You uh, you guessed the trick,

And you win
a wheel of fortune.

Come on, uh...
Let's go get an egg cream.

Step right up,

It's bianca's wheel of fortune.

Anyone can win
and it's fair and square-

Circular.
