05x01 - The Halloween Howl

Post by 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"!

Ng *

* 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:
dear diary,

Halloween is going
to be awesome!

Trick or treating
in castleblanca,

Then on to mayor wolfman's
halloween howwwwllll!

(Giggles)

Cool! My ride's here!

Write more later!

(Organ music)

Hacker:
(smug chuckling)

Prepare for a hearty
spoonful of jealousy,

My dear wicked!

Once you learn
who's coming to dinner,

You'll be begging
to come back to me!

(Laughs)

(Doorbell rings)

Buzz:
I'll hand out the treats!

Delete:
you did it last time!

Monster kids:
trick or treat!

How about neither?!

Red monster kid:
eh?

Mummy monster kid:
huh?

I don't want any more
distractions, dimbots!

But boss,
it's halloween.

How come we can't go
trick or treatin'

Like everyone else?

Face it, deedee,

Closest we're gonna come
to halloween

Is eating these leftover
pumpkin seeds.

Oooh!
I love pumpy-kin seeds!

Divide 'em up,
buzzy.

Buzz:
okay. One for you...

Some for me.

One for you...

And some more for me.

Hey, no fair!
You're gettin' more!

I'll divvy 'em up!

No way!
I'll divvy 'em!

Whoops!

(Splats)

Oh! Oh look
what you've done!

You've destroyed
my delicious dessert!

Buzz:
er, sorry, boss.

Delete:
it was buzzy's fault.

Was not!

You did it!

Enough! You want to go
trick or treating?

Go!
And don't come back

Until my romantic rendezvous
is over!

(Doorbell rings)

Huh? She's here!

(Hums in anticipation)

Happy halloween,
erica!

(Huge gasp)

Hacker?!

Mayor?!

What are you doing
in my castle?!

Correction, mayor,
it's my castle now!

Let me in, hacker!

The halloween hhhowwwwl
is tonight -

Here!

You can't do this!

Ungh!

He did it.

Hacker:
fortunately, you seven
gargoyles of grisli

Will give me
the privacy I need

To pull off my plan.

(Gargoyles giggle
as they come to life)

There!

(Gargoyles grumble)

Now, listen up!

I want you to keep those
troublesome trick or treaters

Away from here.

And while you're at it,

Do something
about the mayor!

Is that clear?

(Growls of excitement)

(Glass shatters)

Use the door next time!

(Kitchen timer rings)

Oh!
My crostinis are ready!

Digit:
where's inez?

She's missing some
serious trick or treat time!

(Vortex whirs)

Both:
(gasp)

Inez! About time
you got here!

I thought you
were going to wear

A different costume!

I thought you were!

So? Two rock stars.
Big deal.

Ma-att,

Wearing the same costume
as one of your friends

Is a halloween fashion
no-no!

Huh? What's this?

"Dear diary,
I saw jackie today.

She is so mean."

Inez:
hey! That's my diary.

Your diary?

And you wrote that
I'm so mean?

No, you don't understand.

Oh, I understand
all right.

You think I'm mean.

That's exactly
what you wrote!

First of all,
whatever I wrote in here

Is for me and me only!

You had no right to read it!

Matt:
time out!

Let's talk about this.

I have nothing to say.

Inez thinks I'm mean,

And if that's the way
she feels...

Fine!

Inez:
fine!

Matt:
not fine!

Positively hunkalicious!
(Laughs)

Enjoy the e-mail, wicked.
Ha ha!

What shall I wear
for halloween?

(Poof)

Perfect!

Computer voice:
cybermail, gorgeous.

Oh?!

Wicked:
miss you?

Not a chance,
you ungrateful borg!

(Doorbell rings)

(Chuckles)
it's showtime!

(Goofy giggling)
erica ram!

Come in, please.

Don't you look stunning.

Where would you like
to conduct the interview?

Heh,
what's the rush?

The night is young
and the moon is full.

Hungry?

Erica:
oh, my!
(Giggles)

What are you up to, hacker?

Oh... Nothing,

Other than a delightfully
delicious dining experience.

(Teeth gleam)

Great costumes!

Thanks, harold!

(Giggles)

Hey, it's us,
buzz and delete.

Oh, no, buzzy!

I just remembered
what you told me not to forget

But I forgot to remember
when we left -

Trick or treat bags.

No bags, no candy!

No problem!

We can divide up
my candy.

I have plenty.

Delete:
whoa! That is a lot.

How many pieces
do we each get?

I'll divide it up.

Let's see...

No way, buzzy!

I want the same amount
as you,

And that won't happen
the way you divide.

I'll do it!

Harold and buzz
and delete

And buzz and delete

And delete and harold

And delete and delete

And buzz and delete
and buzz and delete

And delete and buzz
and delete and harold

And delete!

Hey! Delete's got more
than me!

And I only got three!

I'm not mean, didge,
am i?

How can my best friend
write that about me?

You're not mean, jax.
Lighten up!

It's halloween!
We're supposed to have fun!

Why so glum, guys?

You havin' halloween
troubles too?

We're trying to divide up
this candy

So we each get
the same amount,

(Teary)
but we're not doing
a very good job.

Maybe I can help.

Let's start by putting
all the candy

Back in the middle.

I used to share
my halloween candy

With my best friend...

Back when she was
my best friend.

(Sighs)

We divided it up
in rounds.

That way,
we each got the same.

Watch.

One for the mummy,
one for angel,

One for the other mummy.

That's round .

Looks fair to me!

One more for the mummy,

One more for angel,

One more
for the other mummy.

That's round two.

And the mummy, angel,

The other mummy.

That's...

All:
round three!

And still fair.

All:
round !

Round five!

(Gasps)

Wow!

All:
round six!

Digit:
and none leftover!

I got six candies!

Me too!

Me too!

Digit:
perfecto!

Now you each have
the same amount.

Yup. Six rounds!

So you each get
six candies.

It's totally fair,

Because dividing up
in rounds works!

Happy halloween, guys.

Thanks!

Buzz:
same to you.

Hey...
Do you guys think I'm mean?

Oh, no!

You are quite possibly
the nicest being

I have ever met!

Jackie:
thanks!

See ya at halloween hhhowwwl!

Inez:
I don't care
what you say, matt.

I am not trick or treating
with jackie!

Absolutely not!

Oh, well.

At least we've got
the hhhowwwl to go to.

Mayor:
not anymore!

Matt:
mayor wolfman?

What do you mean
no halloween howl?

The hacker has seized
my castle.

What?!
Hacker's here?!

I'm afraid so.

And unless we can get him
out of my castle...

The howl won't be
howling tonight!

Gargoyles:
(grumbling)

(Gasps)

All:
gargoyles!

Gargoyles:
(growling)

Matt, inez and mayor:
aaaahhhhhh!

Hacker:
(chuckles)

And so, I simply
lowered my pinky thusly

And had all of symmetria

Bowing at my feet!

Another crostini?

No thank you.
About the interview?

Picture time!

Hee hee!

Send!

Eat your heart out,
wicked!

Dinner?!
Pictures?!

I came here
for an interview,

Not a date!

(Glass shatters)

Excuse me, erica.

Be right back.

Ah, mayor,

How nice to see you
again!

For the last time,
use the door!

Get out of my castle, hacker.

Now!

I'm afraid that's not
going to happen, mayor.

And who are these
tiresome trick or treaters?

Hacker:
(shocked) uh!

(Gasps)

The earthbrats!

Give the mayor
back his castle!

Yeah! So the halloween howl
can go on as planned!

The only plan that's going
to go on as planned

Is my plan,

And I plan
to keep it that way!

Matt, inez and mayor:
ahhhhhhhhh!

(All three clunk through
the metal ducts)

(Grunting in pain)

Jackie:
I'll never talk
to inez again!

Digit:
chill, jax,
you guys'll work this out.

I know you will.

It's going to be hard
to work it out

When I'm not talking
to her!

(Skwak pad rings)

The didge, here.

Didge!

Hacker's taken over
the mayor's castle

And locked us up
in the dungeon!

Hold tight, matty!
We're on our way!

Jackie:
ew! Ew! And double ew!

What are those guys?

Digit:
gargoyles!

How are we going
to get by them?

Only one way...

What?

Garlic!

Garlic?
I hate the smell of garlic.

So do the garoyles!
Come on!

Did I tell you
the pie was homemade?

Only about ten times.

Can we get on
with the interview?

I was thinking more like...

Dancing!

(Begins to play music)

My dear?

Well, if you insist.

(Giggles)

(Camera flashes)

Computer voice:
cybermail, gorgeous.

Wicked:
oh puh-lease!
(Incredulous laugh)

Does that wig-wearing weirdo

Think he's gonna
make me jealous?

(Laughs)

Jackie:
so this old maid person

Has the stinkiest garlic
around?

Yep. One whiff

And the gargoyles
will be helpless!

Cool!
Where's the old maid?

You're standing on her.

Both:
whoa!

Whoa!
You're the old maid?!

You're having problem
with that?

No, no.
No problem, maidy.

We just need some of your
smelliest garlic!

First,
clean the pigsty!

Digit:
I did that last time
I was here!

Okay. Not you.

You!

Me? Clean a pigsty?

No way!

No clean, no garlic.

Didge, I am not
cleaning a pigsty!

Fine! So we never see matt
and inez again -

Not to mention
the mayor -

And you can forget
about going

To the halloween howl.

Huh. Okay.

I'll clean it!

Ahhhhh!
(Splats in the mud)

(Pigs grunt)

Ew! Ew! And double ew!

Sheez! This garlic
is really stinko!

Good garlic. Cloves.
You take all.

But how am I going
to get it all back

To castleblanca?

I'll pass out
from the smell

Before I get there!

Old maid:
must put same number of cloves
in each jar,

Or...no garlic!

I check pigsty.

Okay, cloves
divided evenly

Into jars.

How do I figure
this out

Without getting
my wings all smelly?

Hold on, I bet I can use
some pebbles

To figure this out,

Instead of the real garlic.

Yeah. Pebbles
for cloves of garlic.

I can do what jackie did

When she divided up
the candy -

Rounds!

One round at a time 'till
all the pebbles are gone!

One round.

Two rounds.

Three rounds.

Four rounds.

Hey,
it came out even!

, , , .

Four rounds,
so each jar gets cloves.

I did it!

Four jars,
cloves each,

With none leftover.

Remember, piggies,

Organization is the key.

Slop goes here.
Sloppy slop there

And your sloppiest slop
over there.

Okay?

(Squeals of delight)

Good job.
You come back?

I... I don't think so.

Let's go, jax!

We got gargoyles
to garlic!

(Growling)

This better work
or we're toast!

(Gargoyles growl)

Digit:
hold it, 'goyles!

Care for some garlic?

(Disgusted gasps)

Erica:
who knew you could be
so much fun?

Maybe our next um...
"Interview"

We could cha-cha.

Hacker: (panicky)
uh, d-d-d-d-did you
say next?

(Door creaks open)

Shh!

The way down to the dungeon
has to be in here.

We've looked
everywhere else.

(Growls deviously)

See anything?

Both:
yikes!

Whoaaarrggghhh!

Aarrgggghhhhhh!

Oof!

(Sappy music)

I love your eyes.

They're like pools
of cryoxide.

Oh, you say
the dreamiest things!

I can't believe you
like this movie, too.

You're so... Sensitive.

Hacker:
hm...

Gargoyles:
(bawling)

My, oh my,
look what time it is.

It's already-

Shhh!

It's my favorite part,
hacky.

Di-did you say "hacky"?

(Defeated groan)

The howl usually starts
right about now.

All those disappointed
little monsters.

Matt:
don't worry, mayor.

There will be
a halloween howl.

We're on it!

Matt's right!

Make room,
I've gotta pace,

And I'll find a way
out of here!

I'll find a way out!

I will!

I will!

Both: (in unison)
the trap door!

Of course!
Maybe we can get out...

The same way
we came in!

C'mon, guys,
get over it!

Didge, can you beak open
the chute?

Why didn't I think
of that?

(Sound of drill whirring)

(Loud rumbling)

I'm in!

You first, mayor!

Inez:
you next, matt.

Your turn.

I can't reach it.
You go.

Oh you first.
I'll give you a boost.

You sure?

I'm sure. Get on!

Both: (in unison)
I'm sorry!

Hurry!
There's still time

To save the halloween
hhhooowwwl!

(Party goers chatter)

Everyone's here
for the hhhowwwl.

Too bad it's not
gonna happen.

(Fiendish chuckle)

C'mon, let's go
in the back way

And divvy up the candy.

Thanks, guys.

C'mon,
let's evict hacker!

Mayor:
wait!

What about the gargoyles?

No biggie. We've got garlic
to scare 'em away.

Yoikes!
Our garlic's gone!

Jackie:
how do we keep them away now?

Well, according to the legend,

The gargoyles of grisli
will obey our commands

If we give them
rock candies

Divided evenly among them.

But we don't have pieces
of rock candy!

(Gasps) hide!
Someone's comin'!

Shh! Don't wanna
disturb the boss.

Me and buzzy are gonna
change costumes

So we can do more
trick or treating!

Be right back.

Okay.
I'll divide up the candy.

I don't believe it!

Rock candy!

(Gasps)
I have an idea.

Hi!
Remember me?

Yeah! You're the nicest being
in cyberspace!

Yup, that's me. Hm!

What are you doing here?

I'll tell you later.

But I was wondering
if maybe I could

Have some of your
rock candy?

Please?

Take it all!

We're gonna do more
trick or treating.

Buzz:
come on, harold!
We're ready!

Bye nice girl!
Happy halloween!

Okay! Let's count out
pieces of rock candy.

We need some privacy!

Did you just
hear something?

Only my heart b*ating,
hacky.

Hacker:
you! Check out the castle!

, ...
Pieces of rock candy!

Okay,
but how do we divide it up

So each gargoyle
gets the same amount?

(Gasps) rounds!
We can do rounds!

(Banging on the door)

Digit:
wuh-oh! We got company!

I bet we can figure
this out faster

By using numbers,

Instead of rounds
of candy.

Let's try it.

There are gargoyles,

So each round would be
candies.

Then we just add sevens

And see how many sevens
it takes to get to !

And hurry!

(Loud bang)

(Growls)

Seven plus seven
is ;

Plus is ;

Plus is ;

Plus is !

So how many sevens
in ?

- - - ... !

Way to go, wolfie!
Five candies for each gargoyle.

(Jingling on the door)

(Door bangs open)

(Growling)

Hold it, goyles!

Rock candy for all.

Chow down!

(Happy growls)

Ah ha!
Tried to escape, did you?

Kids:
hacker!

What's going on,
hacky?

Just a momentary
interruption, my dear.

Return them to the dungeon!

(Ferocious eating)

Didn't you hear me?
Lock 'em up!

They obey our commands
now, hacker.

(Laughs derisively)
oh, please!

You don't really expect me
to believe that?

Okay, hacker,
you asked for it.

Gargoyles, remove hacker
from the mayor's castle...

Now!

(Ferocious growling)

Ahh!

Let me down,
you grotesque gargoyles!

Hey! You said
this was your castle!

So, I lied!

I should have known!

What's going on here?

You have a lot
of explaining to do.

And you...
Can I have an interview?

Hacker:
aaghhhhhh!

(Glass shatters)

Hacker:
put me down!

(Party music)

Here jackie,
I want you to read this.

No, inez,

I should never have
read your diary

In the first place.

Please?

You need to finish
what you were reading.

"Jackie is so mean...

Ingful to me."

Meaningful!
Not mean?

Definitely not mean!
(Chuckles)

Happy halloween,
best friend!

Matt:
this is the best
halloween ever!

Yep, and it's
time to...

Both:
hhhooowwwl!

Everyone:
(howls)

I'm so glad
we got the night off!

Yeah, me too,
deedee.

Both:
(howl)

Hacker:
you mangy monsters!
You...

Wicked! Save me!

Sorry, hacky,
I'm off to the halloween howl.

Oh, say hello
to my date.

(Charming chuckle)

Prince charming?

Ta-ta, hacky.

My best to erica!
(Cackles)

Hacker:
(grunting)

Let go of me,
you oversized lawn ornaments!

Stay right where you are!

It's cyberchase
for real.

Today is my favorite day
of the year.

Yes, it's halloween,
but it's also my birthday,

And this year it's gonna be
the best ever!

Now that I'm all grown up,

No more trick or treating.

Instead it's dinner
and dancing

With my boyfriend.

Girl:
bianca, how do I look?

I'm a cupcake.

Bianca what about me?

I'm an ice cream cone.

You guys look cute,

But don't I look fabulous?

I'm watching them
'til my mom gets home at : .

Bianca, may I please
look in the mirror?

Sure.

Younger girl:
hey, I can't see!

(Phone rings)

Will you get that?

(Phone rings)

Hello?

Hi mommy.

Okay, just a minute.

Hi, peggy.

Your flight was delayed?

Oh no!

I mean no problem.

Of course I'll take them
trick or treating.

Okay, see you later.
Bye.

(Upset sigh)

(Frustrated groan)

I wanted to celebrate
my birthday with you tonight.

(Sighs) okay.

See you tomorrow night.

Bye.

(Groans)

Girls:
tick or treat?!

Thank you.

Kids:
(singing happily)

Kids:
trick or treat?!

Thank you.

(Happy chatter)

Girls:
trick or treat?!

Whoa!

(Girls laugh)

I feel bad that bianca
isn't having

A happy birthday
because of us.

I know how we can
make her birthday happy!

Let's share our candy
with her.

A birthday present
of candy.

That's a great idea!

(Plastic wrappers crinkle)

I've got .

I've got too.

Twenty-four candy bars
for three people.

How do we divide them

So each person
gets the same amount?

Hmm...

This is the worst
birthday ever!

Older girl:
let's try giving each of us
at a time.

Three for bianca,

Three for you,

And three for me.

Three for bianca...

Younger girl:
three for me,

And three for you.

There are only
a few left now.

We don't we try giving
just one to each of us.

One for bianca,

One for you
and one for me.

One for bianca,

One for me
and one for you.

How many did we each get?

Older girl:
, , , , , , , .

We each get
candy bars.

(Upset exhale)

Some birthday!
Not even one present.

Bianca, we have a surprise
for you!

Both:
happy birthday!

We're sorry that we ruined
your birthday plans.

Thank you!

I am really touched.

You guys are as sweet
as this present.

I'm sorry I was
so crabby tonight.

But...

May I please trade this
licorice for chocolate?
