03x08 - Be Reasonable

[bunniefuu]

Help all kids learn
and grow with pbkids.

Thank you for supporting
your pbs station.

Okay, there's this really
bad dude named hacker --

Hacker: the hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[ Gasp ]
the three kids
are sucked into cyberspace,

And they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
okay, here's the plan.

So they travel
all over and run into all these

Weird creatures...and have all
of these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never!
Matt: there's only one way
to find out!

Tune in
to "cyberchase"!

Cyberchase!♪

♪ 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! ♪

Locked? It can't be!

I gotta get in there.

Weee!

Whoa! Doh!

Kids:
didge!

Huh?

Heads up. Whoa!

Help!

Ah! Help me!

Wha...what day is it?

Jackie:
it's the day ms. Fileshare
closed the cybrary

While she fixes
the computer system.

Matt:
she asked us to help clean
while it's empty.

Oh, yeah, fix the computers.

That's why I couldn't get in.

Inez:
the kiosks are down.

They're running in emergency
mode only.

You can use them to ask
questions, but that's all.

Matt:
ms. Fileshare, digit's here.

Splendid!

Have him check the paper
in the copy machines.

And matthew, tell him to make
sure there are no bent corners.

Understand?

Will do, ms. Fileshare.

How are the repairs going?

Hm. I'll have the problem
licked in no time!

I only wish I knew what went
wrong in the first place!

Hacker:
(laughs)

You'll find out soon enough,
ms. Bookie bookworm!

Buzz:
boss, I think she fixed it!

Ms. Fileshare:
all right!

Delete:
how could she do that?

Hacker:
because she's smart,
that's why!

But not as smart
as the hacker!

There.
Problem solved!

Digit:
what's going on?

Yeow!

Yikes!

Matt:
look out!

Ms. Fileshare...
What's happening?

I don't know!

The entire computer system's
gone berserk!

My room is filling with water,

And I can't stop it!

Oh no!

(Effort grunts)

And to make things worse,
the doors are jammed shut.

I'm trapped!

Jackie:
don't worry,
we'll get you out of there!

Kids:
(gasp)

Matt:
where in the cybrary are you?

I'm on the twentieth floor
in the-

Matt:
ms. Fileshare!

We lost the connection!

Digit:
you heard the lady.

Twentieth floor,
here we come!

Inez:
guys, it could take hours
to find her

If we don't know
where to look.

She'll be submerged by then!

Jackie:
inez is right!

We need to know what room
she's in

On the twentieth floor.

I've got it!

We'll ask the kiosk.

It answers questions,
right?

Kiosk voice:
each card user is limited to
three answers to questions.

Matt:
kiosk, what room
is ms. Fileshare in

On the twentieth floor?

Your request has found
three items

Belonging to ms. Fileshare
on the twentieth floor.

Her clipboard, her lunch bag,
and her pager.

Each item is
in a different room.

Matt:
that's not what I asked!

Kiosk voice:
do you want another answer?

Inez:
careful what you say, matt.

We only get three answers
per card!

Matt:
okay.

Give me another answer.

Kiosk voice:
her clipboard is sitting
on top of a book entitled,

"How to paint."

Jackie:
is it just me

Or did the kiosk
not answer the question?

Kiosk voice:
you have one answer remaining.

Do you wish more information?

Matt:
considering you still haven't
scored any points.

Yes!

Kiosk voice:
ms. Fileshare's lunch bag
is beside a roman chariot.

Matt:
aw, man.

I got zip for information.

I just wasted my card!

Jackie:
and we're no closer
to finding ms. Fileshare

Than we were before!

That ought to stop the water!

On the other hand...

Oh no, maybe it won't!

Digit:
hey, earthlies, you mind
finishing this round

Of find the cybrarian
a little faster, please?

Whoa!

Inez:
digit's right.

Ms. Fileshare's
going need scuba gear

If we don't get to her soon!

Matt:
okay, okay.

But have we learned anything
about where she is?

Other than she's on
the twentieth floor?

Nothing!

According to this map,

There are only three rooms
on the twentieth floor:

Art, history, and science.

Matt:
oh man, there's drinking
fountains in all three rooms!

Digit:
the answer's right here!

Art is fileshare's favorite
subject.

She practically lives
in that room!

How's that for a hunch?

A hunch isn't for sure, didge.

It's just a guess.

And if we guess wrong,

Ms. Fileshare could be sunk!

Matt:
we have to find out
for certain where she is!

No hunches, no guesses.

Jackie:
if we'd gotten some straight
answers from that kiosk,

We'd already know,

But no, oh no,

It had to say stuff like
her clipboard,

Her lunch, her pager,

Are on the twentieth floor!

Her pager!

She answered our call
on her pager!

That's it!

The room that her pager
is in is where she is!

Jax, pop your card
into the kiosk!

Jackie:
I am not wasting my card
on that atm wannabe

If it's only gonna spit out
useless facts!

Inez:
chill jax, we just don't know
what they mean yet.

Matt:
okay. What are the facts
we already have?

One: ms. Fileshare's clipboard
is on top of a book

Entitled "how to paint."

Well, since painting is art,

You'd find that book
in the art room.

Digit:
I told you!
She's in the art room!

Inez:
sorry, didge.

We can't conclude that
ms. Fileshare

Is in the art room
just that her clipboard is.

Digit:
oh.

Jackie:
fact number two: her lunch bag
was beside a roman chariot.

Chariot, a vehicle
from ancient times.

That's historical!

Her lunch bag must be
in the history room.

Digit:
badabing!

We know where two things are!

The only one left is the pager!

But where is it?

Inez:
(gasp) wait a second.

Didn't the kiosk say
that all three items

Were in different rooms?

If the clipboard's in art-

Matt:
and the lunch bag
is in history-

Jackie:
the pager and ms. Fileshare
must be in science!

Matt:
good thing we checked
our clues.

Inez:
or we would've gone off
in the wrong direction.

And we didn't think that kiosk
gave us any clues.

You put your heads together,
do a little thinking,

You get a new answer.

Who knew!

Can we go now?

I'm feeling a little
stressed out.

(Spits water)

I am definitely adding
flood survival

To the next cybrarian
training course.

Hacker:
it's too late for that,
ms. Submersible cybrarian!

You need all the luck you can
get to escape this mess!

(Laughs)

What are you doing?!

Nothin', boss.

(Laughs) nothin'!

Digit:
twentieth floor here we come!

(Crash)

Matt:
something tells me this
elevator is out of service!

Inez:
yee. So much for the elevators.

Digit:
we need to find another way up
to the twentieth floor,

And fast!

Matt:
we'd better split up
and look.

Jackie:
hey guys, over here!

This tube delivers mail
all over the cybrary!

Maybe it can deliver us
to the twentieth floor!

Digit:
check this out!

The cybrary carts
go up this chute!

Inez:
looks like you can get off
at any floor.

Matt:
whoa! Look at this!

This thing looks like a time
machine from some sci-fi movie!

It's a teleporter pad.

Inez:
a teleporter pad?

Yeah.

Ms. Fileshare uses it when she
has to get somewhere fast!

You can ride them.

Well, sorta.

Matt:
so there are three
different ways

To get to the twentieth floor,

Mail tube,

Cybrary cart,

And teleporter pad.

Let's just pick one and go!

Jackie:
matt, wait.

We can't just pick one and go.

We have to be sure
it stops in science

Digit:
and here's the answer lady,
at your service!

My card's used up.
Jax?

Got it!

Kiosk voice:
each card user is limited
to three answers to questions.

Jackie:
yeah, yeah, we know.

And straight answers this time,
okay?

Ahem.

My question is,

Do any of these vehicles
stop in science?

Kiosk voice:
each vehicle goes
to a different room

On the twentieth floor.

Do you want another answer?

Jackie:
a straighter one than that,
please!

The cybrary cart only goes
to the history room.

You have one answer remaining
on this card.

Do you want another?

Jackie:
(sigh) spit it out.

Kiosk voice:
the mail tube does
not stop at the rooms

Whose names begin with
the letters 'f' through 'w.'

Jackie:
'f' thru 'w'?

What is she talking about now?!

Matt:
great.

The kiosk didn't say anything
about the science room

And now jackie's card
is used up.

Digit:
let's go, lady,
keep the facts comin'!

Inez:
didge, wait!

Your card and mine are the only
ones left that we can use.

So we better not waste them.

Who knows how many questions
we'll have to ask

To reach ms. Fileshare!

Jackie:
make room, I gotta pace.

Inez:
I say we do what we did before

Take a closer look
at the facts we already have.

Jackie:
I don't know about you,

But I need to see
what I'm thinking.

We know that each vehicle
can only go to one room

On the twentieth floor.

Digit:
(yelp)

Sorry, that's my cyber-coup
collection.

Jackie:
digit, you're a genius.

Thanks, inez.

Let's pretend this
is a cybrary cart,

This is a mail tube,
and this a teleporter.

Cart, tube, teleporter.

And these cards represent
the three rooms

On the twentieth floor:

Science, art and history.

Now, let's picture
all the possibilities.

The cart could go to science,
art or history, right?

Now how about the tube?

Matt:
the tube might go to each of
those rooms also, but so what?

Inez:
wait a second.

She might be onto something.

The same is true
for the teleporter.

Right.

So here are all
the possibilities.

What else do we know?

Matt:
the kiosk said the cybrary cart
only goes to the history room.

Jackie:
news we can use.

If the cybrary cart
only goes to history...

Inez:
then it can't go
to science or art.

Matt:
now we know that the cart
goes to history

And since each vehicle
goes a different room

On the twentieth floor,

Then it's impossible for
the tube and the teleporter

To go to history.

So let's get rid of those
possibilities.

Digit:
hey! Those two facts really
gave us a lot of info.

Who knew?

Inez:
and we know one more thing.

The kiosk said the tube
doesn't go to rooms

Beginning with 'f' through 'w'.

Digit:
's' is between 'f' and 'w'

So I guess the tube
doesn't go to science.

Inez:
you got it, didge.

Take that one off.

Jackie:
now look, that means the tube
is the one that goes to art.

Matt:
and since that's true,

The teleporter can't go to art.

And now there's only one
possibility left.

The teleporter's the one
we've been looking for.

That's the one that goes
to science.

Digit:
we thought we didn't know
anything,

But we knew a lot.

Amazing!

Matt:
let's go!

Digit:
not so fast, earthlies!

You have any idea
how this teleporter works?

Jackie:
we zap in and out
of portals all the time.

How much different can this be?

Try getting turned into
a ball of light

Being lobbed through walls
and windows like a baseball,

And getting turned back
into yourself!

That different enough?

Hey, being a baseball
for a few seconds could be fun!

Digit:
whoa! Yoikes!

Matt:
twentieth floor,
here we come!

Kids:
woooo-hooo! Oh boy!

Ahhh, everything's still
where it should be!

(Gasp)

Ms. Fileshare:
digit! Thank goodness.

Did you bring paddles
by any chance?

Matt:
we made it, ms. Fileshare!

Hacker:
about time you know-it-alls
got here!

All:
hacker!

Hacker:
I've been waiting for you.

Jackie:
so you're behind all this!

Hacker:
who else?

You nosy nellies
have always used your wits

To foil my sinister schemes.

So I thought I'd use your
own smarts against you

For a change!

Earlier today, I dispatched
buzz and delete

To sneak into the cybrary
and sabotage the main computer,

Thus trapping ms. Fileshare
in the science section.

I knew you well-meaning moppets
would try to rescue her,

And fall into the same trap!
(Laughs)

Ms. Fileshare:
why have you done this, hacker?

Hacker:
oh. Did I forget to tell you?

There's another room
in the cybrary

That I'm now free to plunder!

Motherboard's vault!

No!

What's in there?

Hacker:
everything anyone could ever
want to know about motherboard.

Like how to shut her down
permanently! (Laughs)

Toodle-oo!

Ms. Fileshare:
this is not good at all!

Inez:
my sentiments, exactly!

You can forget about this door.

It's harder than hacker's head!

What are we going to do?

We have to stop hacker
from getting that info

On motherboard somehow!

Jackie:
let's use this teleporter.

It got us in here,
it can get us out!

Whoa!

The teleporter's totaled!

Ms. Fileshare:
no, it's okay.

It just came apart.

You can reconnect
the pieces to the base.

Digit:
c'mon jax, put the chair on it!

Ms. Fileshare:
stop!

Plug a piece into
the wrong color and bzzt.

The whole thing will fry!

Unfortunately,
I don't remember which piece

Goes on which color.

Inez:
guess we have to ask
the kiosk of confusion again.

You going to help us out
this time?

You have two answers left.

Is that your question?

No, it's not!

Oh! Ms. Fileshare, this kiosk
needs an attitude adjustment!

Kiosk, to reconnect
the teleporter,

Which parts go on which colors?

The chair does not work
on blue.

Jackie:
didge, hold it!

The kiosk only told us where
the chair doesn't go.

We can't put it anywhere yet.

Digit:
we can't?

Kiosk voice:
you have one answer remaining
on this card.

Do you wish to continue?

Inez:
yes, please.

Kiosk voice:
the lamp does not work on red.

Seems to me we know lots
about where things don't go,

And nothing about
where they do go.

Jackie:
I gotta pace,

Er, paddle!

Hacker:
behold, you bumbling buffoons!

A data vault on motherboard
so vast, so extensive,

I'll learn about each and
every one of her weaknesses!

There's enough information here
to defeat her

A hundred times over!

Delete:
oh. Won't once be enough, boss?

Hacker:
just fill up the wheelbarrows!

Jackie:
let's not panic.

It may not look like it,

But the kiosk facts
must tell us something.

Matt:
hm, maybe if we picture
the possibilities again.

Inez:
but we can't use the floor
this time.

Jackie:
no problem.

Okay, we've got three
teleporter pieces.

The lamp, the chair,
and the projector.

And there are three places
where each could go:

Blue, red, yellow.

Didge:
but which piece goes
with which color?

Jackie:
I'm not sure.

Let's fill in
what we know as we go.

Inez:
okay, the kiosk said the chair
doesn't work on blue.

Jackie:
cross off that possibility.

And the lamp doesn't work
on red.

Jackie:
cross that off, too!

Cool! We've eliminated
one color choice

From the lamp and the chair!

But they don't tell us anything
more like the last time.

We need more information.

Uh! We're out of cybrary cards!

Digit:
ahem?

I believe it's my turn
to do the asking.

Due to an overdue book,

Inquiries with this card
are forbidden.

But i, I brought the book back
yesterday, ms. Fileshare.

Honest!

You um, you wouldn't happen
to have a card, would you?

Ms. Fileshare:
mister deboid.

What cybrarian needs a card
for her own cybrary?

Inez:
what are we going to do?

We still need at least one more
fact to solve this problem.

Digit:
hold the phone!

I may not have a usable card,

But I know someone who does!

He's real close to my heart!

Kids:
widget!

Digit:
hey, widge! Got your cybrary
card handy?

Sure thing, didge!

Digit:
kiosk, we'd like another answer
to our last question.

Kiosk:
the projector works on yellow.

Matt:
at last, news we can use!

A real answer that tells us
where one of the pieces does
work!

Jackie:
right!

The projector goes on the
yellow part of the stand.

And since the projector
can only go on one color...

I can cross off blue
and red for the projector.

And because yellow
is already taken

We can cross it off
for the lamp and the chair!

Inez:
we just knocked out
two more possibilities!

Jackie:
and guys, you know what?

We just revealed which piece
goes with which color!

Check it out.

Lamp on blue, chair on red,
and projector on yellow!

Digit:
no guessing! No hunches!

We know for sure!

Kids:
we did it!

Ms. Fileshare:
splendid!

Now let's hope
we can stop hacker

Before he stops motherboard!

Matt:
lamp on blue!

Projector on yellow!

Jackie:
chair on red!

Matt:
motherboard's vault,
here we come!

Buzz:
whew! The last book, boss.

Hacker:
yes. A treasure trove
of knowledge!

When I finish perusing
this data,

I'll know more about
motherboard

Than motherboard knows
about herself!

Delete:
how are all these books gonna
fit in your reading room, boss?

Ms. Fileshare:
you're not taking anything
anywhere!

Nobody sabotages my cybrary!

Hacker:
think again,
ms. Bookie bookworm!

I don't know
how you got in here,

But I know how you're
going to leave!

Get her, boys!

Ahh! My wig! Give it back!

You can't get rid of me
so easily!

Aarrrggh!

Buzz:
boss, what happened?

Where'd you go?

Delete:
yeah, where'd you go?

Buzz and delete:
aarrggh!

Ms. Fileshare:
well kids, you not only
tidied up the cybrary,

You saved me and motherboard.

Jackie:
all in a day's work,
ms. Fileshare.

Inez:
actually, we had a ball.

Matt:
make that a light-ball!

Digit:
good one, matty!

Buzz:
uh boss,
you don't look so good.

Delete:
yikes!

Hacker:
it can't be!

I'm a duncebucket! (Sobs)
