04x02 - The Icky Factor

[bunniefuu]

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"!

Moving *

* We're b*ating hacker
at his game! *

* Don't tell me 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! *

Inez:
shari! You won
how many snelfus?

!

Isn't that right
professor stumblesnore?

It is,
spotter,

Not a snelfu more!

And every one goes to the film
you've been chosen to make:

"Welcome to frogsnorts".

Matt:
you get to make a movie?

Wow!
How cool is that?!

Stumblesnore:
she has four days!

Come friday,

Her film must be ready
to show

To the incoming class.

It's a big honor,
spotter,

Don't spend the money
recklessly!

Digit:
sheesh, four days!

Can you do it?

Yes,
but I need help.

I'll be too busy acting
in the film.

So I need a director.

Jackie:
I'll direct!

Matt:
let me!

Inez:
I'll do it

Um...mathew!

You be the director!

Cool!

Action!

I knew she'd
pick matt!

Shari:
inez, jackie...

You be the writers.

(Excited gasp)

Okay.

But what'll I wear
to the golden glob awards?

Let's write the film first,
okay?

And digit,
you run the camera.

Me? Sure!

When do we start?

Listen to dodie!

This is day one.

First day of sh**ting
has begun!

Matt:
ready to roll, didge?

Digit:
rolling!

Matt:
and...action!

Welcome to frogsnorts,
school of magic.

Things are really popping!

You'll soon learn
that coming here

Will turn your world
upside down!

Matt (thru bullhorn):
and...cut!

Okay, everybody...
Lunch!

Inez:
okay, matthew...

What happened to all
the lines we wrote

About math and science?

Too many words,
nezzie.

Film is visual.

I needed to liven it up!

Buzz:
one hot chocolate!

Delete:
with whipped cream!

Oops!
Sorry, buzzy!

Hey, ix nay
on the uzzy-bay!

We're in disguise,
remember?

Hacker:
and don't you forget it!

I've hatched my most brilliant
plan ever!

Don't ruin it!

Digit:
I love show business!

I still can't believe
we're making a real film!

(Squawks)

But look at it all!

The stuff that we've got!

Can we afford it?
Must cost a lot!

Relax, dodie!

Snelfus
is a fortune!

Matt:
but we can't have
spent that much!

Jackie:
I counted it four times!

There's only snelfus left!

Matt:
but how is that possible?

Easy, mr. Director!

We started with ...

Spent ...

So we have left!

We spent half
of what we had

In just one day?

Jackie:
that's right!

If we spend the same
amount tomorrow,

It'll be all gone!

Shari:
this is a disaster!

Why don't we just ask
for more snelfus?

There aren't anymore,
mathew.

The professor said so!

What we need
is a miracle.

Jackie:
wrong!

What we need is a plan!

A plan that tells us
how to spend our money,

So we don't run out.

A plan that we can
stick to!

Oof. Sorry.

I agree.

We've got to spend
a lot less

Starting tomorrow.

How much less?

It costs money
to be brilliant!

Lots!

Jackie:
hold on,

Let's find out how much
we can spend each day.

We've got four sh**ting days,
right?

And we know we spent
snelfus today, day one.

So if we spend a day
for the next three days..

That totals snelfus.

Exactly what we have left!

Matt:
but how can I make a movie
for only snelfus a day?!

Huh? Huh?

Delete:
where's that magic charm
the boss told us to get?

Well, it's here in the chamber
of trolls...somewhere.

Delete:
yiiikes!

Okay, okay...
We found the trolls.

Here is that magic thingy.

Let's b*at it!

Jackie:
can someone please tell me

How we spent snelfus today?

Well, I paid that snooty
art director ten snelfus!

I think we ordered
extra hot chocolate.

Don't forget the rest
of the crew!

And the film stock!

Guys! This is way
too confusing!

We need to get organized.

Like how?

Jackie:
well, let's make categories
for our expenses.

Like the art director,
the borgs, the whole crew,

Anybody who worked for us.

Okay then.

There are borgs
on the crew,

And we paid each one
ten snelfus for today's work.

Jackie:
borgs -
times ten snelfus...

Equals snelfus
for just one day.

Yikes!

Digit:
and we fed the crew, too.

Shari:
at two snelfus each!

New category: food!

Two snelfus times
borgs...

Means we spent snelfus
for food.

Next category!

Shari:
film stuff!

Ten snelfus for cables!

Matt:
for the lights
and camera.

And ten cartridges of film,

At two snelfus a cartridge
equals uh...

!

Okay.
Film stuff category:

Snelfus!

Snelfus
for crew, food,

And film stuff!

Shari:
finally, I can see where
all that money went!

Jackie:
yup!

Now we have to decide

Where the rest is not
going to go!

Fine, but can we do it
in the morning?

(Yawns)
I'm b*at!

Jackie:
all right! Go to sleep!

But somebody's gotta
figure out

How to make this movie
for snelfus a day!

Second day of sh**ting
ready to start

But we're watching
what we spend now!

Check out the chart!

Jackie:
okay, people,
we now have a plan

For spending no more
than one snelfus a day.

It's called a budget!

Here's how it's going
to work.

I've cut down the crew
from borgs to only six.

So now the crew costs
only snelfus a day,

A lot less than the
we spent yesterday.

Matt:
cool!

And less crew
means less food!

At two snelfus a head -
times six,

That's only snelfus
a day for food.

Wait!
I made this food myself,

So we can cut out
two more snelfus!

Digit:
beautiful!

That cuts the food cost
down to ten snelfus a day!

This plan
just might work!

Okay, budget lady,
we cut out a lot of stuff,

But we still need
film cartridges a day,

Which costs snelfus.

Jackie:
all right,
mr. Film director.

Digit, please enter
snelfus

In the film category.

Digit:
it is!

Now,
add up the categories

And we get a total of...

Snelfus per day!

Just what I figured.

Fill in day and
the same way digit!

Hacker:
bravo! Bravo!

I'm truly impressed
by your budget!

Jackie:
really?

Even though we fired you?

Who cares about money?

This is art!

I'm staying on as your
art director...

Free of charge!

And so are your caterers!

Matt:
cool!

(Thru bullhorn)
places everyone!

Delete:
boss!

Did you say we're working
for nothin'?

All that matters is
that we stay around the set

So I can sneak this
into the film!

The eye of fig newt

Is the secret to the success
of my scheme!

With it, I'll bewitch
stumblesnore.

And control every student
at frogsnorts!

(Evil laughter)

Matt:
could you please hurry,
mr. Art director?

Time is money!

Just making sure the set
looks exactly right

There!

Shari,
I just wrote this.

It's for the last day
of sh**ting.

"Here in our museum
of magic

Are powerful charms,

Such as the eye
of fig newt!

Looking at it
for just five seconds

Will turn a full-fledged
sorcerer into a salamander!"

What do you think?

Sounds good to me.

Delete:
buzzy? What she said
about the eye of fig newt?

Is that true?

Of course it's true!

Why do you think the boss
wants it in the film?

We get stumblesnore to look
at that eye thingy

For five seconds,

It's goodbye wizard...

Hello lizard!

Hacker:
the set is set,
mr. Dematt!

At last. Places!

Rolling!

Matt:
and...action!

The frogsnorts zoo
is filled with amazing animals.

Like this hydra.

Heads up, guys!

Oh, no!

Burp that hydra
till he coughs it up!

Burp the hydra?

Dodie:
everything's perfect,
the sound and the light.

That scene that you filmed
is pure dynamite!

Shari:
yes, it's brilliant, matthew!

The professor will be
so pleased!

Well,
I couldn't have done it

Without a great script
from inez.

Why, thank you...
Matthew!

This should please
the professor, too:

The expenses for today!

We planned to spend
snelfus on our crew...

And we did!

Digit:
budgeted, spent.

Check!

Jackie:
we planned to spend
ten snelfus on food...

And we came in
on the money!

Digit:
ten budgeted,
ten spent.

Check!

Jackie:
but here's even better news!

We planned to use
cartridges of film,

But we only used !

Matt:
and since times
is snelfus,

The camera department
came in under budget!

Digit:
budgeted...

Only spent!

Jackie:
so our total for day two
is .

Four less than we planned,

Leaving four extra
just in case!

All right!

Dodie:
third day of sh**ting!

No way to fudge it

To finish our film
we must stay on budget!

Jackie:
forget it, matt!
Not gonna happen!

But if we had the chopper,

I could do an incredible
overhead sh*t of the dragons!

Jackie:
matt, the helicopter
costs snelfus!

Matt:
I can't think about money,
I'm creating!

Jackie:
well, create this!

We can't spend snelfus
we don't have!

Digit:
excuse me, but I can make
like a helicopter.

Matt:
beautiful, didge!

And it keeps us right
on budget!

Ready,
mr. Art director?

Ready!

Matt:
okay. Cue the dragon!

Digit:
rolling!

Matt:
and...action!

Shari:
sports at frogsnorts
runs circles

Around any other school!

(Gasps)

Ahhhh!

Delete:
aren't the dragons cute,
boss?

Hacker:
oh, yeah.

A real knock out!

Buzz:
boss!

Jackie:
okay guys, listen up:

Here's today's expenses.

Crew cost:
planned for ...

Spent !

Food: ten planned,
ten spent!

Shari:
right on budget!

Good job,
everybody!

Digit:
well, not everybody.

I blew it.

I had to use one
extra film cartridge.

Okay, let's see
what that does

Before we push
the panic button.

The plan was to use
film cartridges

Costing snelfus.

But we actually used ,

For snelfus...

Which makes our total
for day three ...

Matt:
oh, man!
Now we're over budget!

But just for the day!

Remember, we only used
snelfus yesterday.

See?

Four less than we planned,

So that covers the two
we were over today

And still leaves us
two extra for tomorrow!

Just in case.

All:
all right!

Matt:
you know what, jax?

You're budget idea
just might save us!

(Knocking on door)

Buzz:
we just want to say:

We think you guys
are doing a great job.

Delete:
yeah.

Buzz:
and to show our appreciation...

There's some extra ice cream
left in our catering truck.

Digit:
ice cream!
I'm there!

Matt:
we need a break!

Shari:
me too!

(Chortle)

Yes, the eye of fig newt.

Let make this a close up.

Stumblesnore:
(knocking) shari?

It's professor stumblesnore.

I got your note
asking me

To come see what
you've sh*t thus far...

Only I was the one
who sent the note!

(Chortle)

What's this?

(Reads)
"dear professor,

Had to run out.

Computer's all set.

Press any key,
sit back and enjoy!"

Oh, very nice.

Good show, spotter.

What's that?

Oh, dear.
I hope that's not...

Hacker:
come along, stumby,

We've got some students
to mesmermize!

(Evil laugh)

Fourth day of sh**ting

It should be a hoot

We have enough money
to finish the sh**t!

Digit:
rolling!

Matt:
and...

Hacker:
cut!

All:
hacker!

Hacker:
that's headmaster hacker
of frogsnorts, to you!

You were
the art director.

Hacker:
was...

Now I'm the new headmaster!

And I'm going to use your film
to announce

That I'm taking over
cyberspace!

Inez:
our film isn't even finished!

You'll finish it today!

If not, you can kiss
the iguana goodbye!

Shari:
is that professor stumblesnore?

Let's just call it...
An extreme makeover!

And one more thing:

I want you to film
a big new scene...of me!

Jackie:
we can't add a new scene!

That means more crew!

More film! More food!

It's not in our budget!

We can't pay for it!

I suggest you find
the money in your budget...

Or the gecko gets it!

Step lively,
professor.

Jackie:
we've got to figure out
how to finish our movie

To save the professor!

Matt:
hacker must have put in
that eye of newt scene,

We've got to cut it.

Great idea.

We can replace it
with the new hacker scene.

An extra scene means
we need more film!

We're talking ten snelfus.

Jackie:
ten added to the
we planned to use

Brings the film stuff
total to !

Oh no!

That's snelfus
for the day!

We're over budget!

Matt:
so we need to spend less
on something else.

But what?

Inez:
how about the crew?

If we all pitched in

We could cut out borg.

Shari:
works for me.

Jackie:
that brings our crew cost
down from to !

So... For crew,
ten for food,

And for film stuff...

Keeps our total at a ,

And we have snelfus
leftover from yesterday!

Dodie:
dodie has found it!

People take note!

For only a snelfus,

We can buy the antidote!

Shari:
an antidote to cancel
the spell on the professor?

Then we don't have to sh**t
the scene with hacker!

Matt:
we can't take the chance,
didge.

What if we don't
get the antidote?

Matt's right.

We have to finish
the film...

Just in case.

Digit:
dodie, who owns this antidote?

Think I can bargain
with her?

I don't know
maybe you might.

The old maid of greylocks
likes a good fight!

Dogit:
let me have the two extra
snelfus earthlies.

A handsome cyboid like myself,

Should have no problem charming
a sweet old lady

Into dropping her price.

Old maid:
you have ?

?

No way we can pay
that much.

Old maid:
eh, take it or leave it.

Will you please
take two?

How about you clean
pig sty?

Sheesh!

The things I have to do
to save cyberspace!

Delete:
make up!

Hacker:
enough!

I'm ready for my close-up,
mr. Director.

We've sh*t your scene
times, hacker!

We're almost out of film.

But those other times,

I-i just didn't feel
in the moment...

Okay!
One more time.

And...action!

Hacker:
now that I've crowned myself
emperor of cyberspace,

I want to talk
to all of you

Who have suffered
or had a hard life.

Get over it!

With me in charge,

You'll think the old days
were a picnic!

Cut...and print!

Oh, I can't wait to see
the whole film tomorrow...

Shari:
that's it, guys.
The final edit!

Everyone sure about this?

All:
yep! Go for it!

Inez:
I have to say, shari,

You made a good choice
letting matt direct.

You really mean it?

Inez:
yeah.

But don't let it go
to your head, okay?

Jackie:
you made a really cool film,
shari.

The professor
will be pleased.

If we ever see him again.

It's day five.

We've got the goods

Pretty soon
we'll be outa the woods...

I hope!

Hacker:
silence!

It's time for a preview

Of the film to be shown
all over cyberspace

Once our conquest is complete!

Jackie:
ew, this is weirding me out!

Hacker:
dim the lights.

Shari:
welcome to frogsnorts,
school of magic.

Things here are
really popping!

You'll soon learn
that coming here

Will turn your world
upside down.

Buzz:
when do you come on,
boss?

Hacker:
not to worry.

I'm sure they saved
the best part for last.

Matt:
didge!

Inez:
get it?

Digit:
got it!

(Snoring)

Inez:
I've got the professor!

(Applause)

Hacker:
what?! It can't be over!

Where's my big scene

Announcing that I'm now
headmaster of cyberspace?!

Stumblesnore:
on the cutting room floor...

What?!

Where it belongs!

Hacker:
stumblesnore!

I've reviewed your plan

To conquer cyberspace,
mr. Hacker,

And I give it a big
thumbs down!

Whoaaaaaaa!

(Cheering)

Stumblesnore:
well, spotter,

You and your friends have made
a smashingly good film.

Bravo!

Shari:
thank you, sir.
Glad you approve.

Jackie:
and we didn't spend a snelfu
more than you gave us.

Stumblesnore:
excellent budgeting...

Impressive!

Matt:
by the way, guys.

What did you pay the old maid
for the antidote?

The cost was nothing

Make that zero

What's a little mud
the didge is a hero!

Inez:
she gave you the antidote
for nothing?

Well, not exactly.

(Laughter)

Stay right where you are

It's cyberchase for real.

I'm going on a date
with jenna.

She's so sweet!

(Phone rings)

Hello.
Oh, hi harley.

Really?

That's terrible.

Well, sure.
You can stay here.

Sure, see you soon.

That was my cousin harley
from hollywood.

He's passing through town

And he lost his wallet
with all his money.

I better make sure I have
enough money for tonight.

Flowers $ ,
chocolates $ ,

Dinners $ each,
that's $ ,

$ For desserts
for both of us,

$ For tax and tip,

$ For taxis.

If I stay on budget,
this'll be a perfect date.

Hey harley,
how-how you doin'...?

Harley:
what a miserable day.

First, my plane was late.

Then, the guy next to me
snored the entire flight.

Then, I lost my wallet!

Harry:
just relax,
watch some tv,

And I'll see you later.

Where you going?

Out to a restaurant
called the "new leaf".

I'm going with you.

Harry:
oh, uh, but you see,
jenna and I had a date...

Harley:
come on, it'll be fun!
Let's go.

Harry:
okay.

Harley:
and then, after the awards,

I went to this
wonderful party.

All the biggest stars
were there...

Leonardo, amanda...

I danced with hillary.

She's very sweet.

Jenna
I'll have the pasta
primavera.

Harry:
jenna's meal is $ .

That's $ less
than I budgeted.

I'll have the steak.

Harry:
great! His dinner is $ !

If I want to stay on budget,

I can only spend $
for my dinner.

Can I please get a grilled
cheese sandwich?

Thanks.

Dessert?

I'll have the creme brulee,
please.

Harry:
jenna's dessert is $ .

If I'm going to stay on budget,

There's only $ left
for one more dessert.

Harley:
I'll have the-

Harry:
excuse us.

Look, when I ask you
if you want a dessert

Just say no,
got it?

One creme brulee,

I'll have the rice pudding

And, harley,
what will you have?

Harley:
nothing for me.

Harry:
oh, are you sure?

Uh, the desserts
are really great.

Harley:
okay, I'll have
rice pudding, too.

Harry:
if you order dessert,

I won't have
enough money,

So just say no,
got it?

Sorry, my bad.

Harry:
I'll have the rice pudding.

And, harley,
what will you have?

Nothing.

Harry:
are you sure?
Positive?

Well, i...

Nothing for me.

Harley, would you like
half of my dessert?

I'm right on budget,

With just enough money
for a taxi.

You know I only offered
you half.

But my half
was on the bottom.

Harley:
so, you know, it really
begs the question,

Why wear a rolex,

When you can have a cartier,
right?

I mean this thing is
custom made, diamond-encrusted.

It's beautiful, really.
You gotta see it.

Harry:
jenna!

Hey, what about me?

Harry:
sorry, my bad.
