05x06 - The Flying Parallinis

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"!


* 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! *

Matt:
(panting) faster!

Hacker:
(evil laugh)

Release the grabber!

All:
(gasp)

Matt:
hurry!

Delete:
let me do that grabber
thingy.

Buzz:
give me that thing.

Hacker:
ooohhh! Oomph!

(Yelling unintelligibly)

I'll do it!

Whoa!

Matt:
a portal to motherboard!

We're gonna make it!

Ahhhhhh!

Jackie!

Let me go, hacker!
Right now!

Hacker: (on megaphone)
you go when I get what I want.

Till then,
welcome to mount wayupthere!

(Evil laughter)

Matt:
so we jumped in the portal

And got zapped back here!

Inez:
but jackie didn't make it.

Hacker got her!

What does hacker want?

(Phone rings)

Matt,
accept the incoming call!

Here's the deal,
motherboard.

I'll trade you
your precious earthbrat,

For the network
interface card!

But if we give him
the nic,

He can activate
his transformatron again!

How perceptive,
turkeybot!

You have exactly
two hours

To bring me the nic

Or I'll put your friend

Where you'll never
find her!

Ever!

Come on, we've got
to climb that mountain

And save jackie!

Hacker will see us.

It won't work!

Too bad jackie's
not here.

She'd think of a plan.

Didge,
if jackie were here,

We wouldn't need
a plan.

Oh, yeah, right.

There must be something
we can do.

Go to poddleville.

Find diamond joe!

Excuse me,
anyone know diamond joe?

(Gasps)

Dudes,
where's diamond joe?

Teenage poddles:
(gasps) don't know.

Never heard of him.

Inez:
we're almost
out of poddleville,

And still no sign
of diamond joe.

Wonder what's
over there?

It looks pretty
deserted to me.

Digit:
I see someone!

(Whispering) I know
I'm not supposed to do this,

But sometimes
I just can't help myself!

One, two, three... Lean!

One, two, three... Lean!

One, two, three... Lean!

One, two, three... Lean!

Tilt!

(Giggling)

Ahhhhh!

You didn't see that!

Tell me
you didn't see it!

See what?

If you tell,
I'll get in trouble!

We're not here
to get you in trouble.

We're here to get someone
outta trouble!

Really? Who?

Tell me! Tell me!

Our friend, jackie.

Hacker's put her
in danger.

Ooh, hacker!

He's scary!

But I'm not afraid of him,

Or anyone!

I'm teeny weeny
parallini -

T.w. For short.

I'm digit,
and this is matt and inez.

Want to help us
save jackie?

Yes! Yes!

I do! I do!

Then tell us where
to find diamond joe.

Diamond j- ?!
Don't know him!

Don't know any diamonds!

Gotta go!

Inez:
wait!

Stop!

Digit:
you're our only hope!

Okay.

But I don't know much
about diamond joe,

'Cause he's this
big secret!

(Whispering)
my parents whispered

That he lives
in the hills somewhere.

Would they tell us
where he is

If they knew
motherboard sent us?

You could ask them!

Come on! I'll take you
to paralleloland!

All I need
is one good plan,

Just one,
and I am outta here.

Climb down?

Oh, no way.

Slide?
Un-unh.

(Gasps) use my scrunchie
as a bungee.

Ugh! Too short.

Oh, I'll try motherboard
again.

Ooh!
Still can't get through!

Oh man, I need someone
to talk to.

Transformatron's
a little dusty, boss.

Then clean it off!

Oh, yeah.
Sure, boss!

As soon as I get the nic
from motherboard,

I'll need you to power up
the transformatron.

Get ready!

Delete:
he's cute, boss.

Can I pet him?

(Furious)
look what you've done!

Get him!

Delete:
(bright and chipper)
here hamborg, hamborg!

Here hamborg, hamborg!

Oof!

Hacker:
get him!

Gotcha!

(Phone rings)

(Snapping)
this is the hacker!

This is "the" jackie,

And I need
some company.

See,
being here alone

Is not working
for me.

Oh, it's not, eh?

No! And I have my rights,
you know!

Of course.

How thoughtless
of me!

(Giggling)
that tickles,
buzz!

Quit it!

I'll send company
right away.

(Groans)
I said company,
not...

Oh, never mind!

At least I'll have someone
to talk to.

T.w.:
Welcome to paralleloland!

Big mama parallini:
no tilting, no leaning!

Little parallinis:
(singsong) no tilting,
no leaning,

And no in-betweening!

Wow! Look! Company!

T.w.:
Say hi to matt,
inez and digit.

Little parallinis:
hi! Hello! Wuz up?

T.w.:
This is mike parallini,

Ike parallini,

Carey parallini,

Harry parallini,

Fran parallini,

Dan-

Hold it. Are you all
parallinis?

All:
(giggle)

Yeah!
Same family!

Digit:
but you don't
look the same.

Little parallinis:
we're all related.

(Giggling)

See how we're alike?

See? See?

Well, you all have
one, two, three, four sides!

(Giggles)

And it looks like
your top and bottom sides

Are the same length.

Yup, same length!

(Giggling)
that tickles.

Your left and right sides
match, too.

So you all have
four sides,

With opposite sides
the same length.

Right!
You got it!

And though some of us
are rectangles...

Little rectangles:
(cheering)

And some of us are squares...

(Cheering)

We all belong
to the same family.

We're parallelograms.

So, is anyone in your family
shaped like this?

(Everyone gasps)

Big mama parallini:
who drew that shape?!

Uh, I did.

This is not allowed here.

Parallinis must never
tilt or lean!

But-

We do not welcome guests
who break our rules!

Get out and stay out!

(Gasp)

All I did
was tilt a square!

No wonder t.w. Was afraid
she'd get in trouble.

No tilting,
no leaning,

And no kidding.

Matt:
how will we find
diamond joe, now?

Inez:
we'll figure
something out.

Come on, let's reassess
our options.

Matt:
sorry, we'll be
on our way now.

Someone over there?

I thought for sure
I saw somebody.

There it goes again!

I must be seein'
things.

Let's go.

T.w.!
What are you doing?

I wanna help you
find diamond joe!

If motherboard trusts you,
so do i!

Come on,
let's go look for him!

Well, I'll need a tv,
dvd player,

Computer -
make it a laptop -

Cell phone,
diffuser for my hair,

Uh... Magazines,

Three bottles of water -
my skin's gotta look good.

Ah, you getting all this?

Yeah, yeah,
we're gettin' it!

Good. I also want
a tofu burger

And a milkshake.

And music!
Get me a y-pod!

What's an y-pod?

I don't know,
deedee,

But she's givin' me
a headache!

T.w.:
Wow! This is cool!

Everything tilts
and leans,

Just like...me!

(Giggling)

It looks so easy
to shift shape!

How come it's forbidden?

Since diamond joe disappeared,

No one's allowed to do it.

But it's not like it hurts
or anything.

All you do
is flex your angles.

Whoa!
You grew really fast.

(Giggles)
I didn't grow.

My sides are
still the same.

It's just what
parallelograms can do.

Wow! Look!

Matt:
"keep out."

Not much of a welcome.

Bet that bridge leads
to diamond joe.

Come on!

I don't know,
didge.

It looks kind of rickety.

Think it's safe
to cross?

Of course it's safe!

Let's go!

Ahhhh! Help!

You better be worth
what I paid for you, furball.

Start practicing!

(Sniffs)

(Powering on)

It worked!

The transformatron
is powering up!

(Smooches)

All I need now is the nic,

And I can transform
into anything i-

(Phone rings)

Who is it?
I'm busy!

It's an emergency,
boss!

We can't stand listening
to this earthbrat!

You gotta come help us
or we quit!

Jackie:
ooh! Tell him
to bring something yellow!

My room at home is yellow
and I love yellow!

Eew! Eww!
And double eww!

Ooh! Bring me a change
of clothes!

Oh, but nothing dorky,
okay?!

Both:
aaargh!

All:
helllllp!

Diamond joe:
well, well, well...

Look what I caught.

Trespassers!

No one's allowed
on diamond joe's land,

So git!

Inez:
but motherboard sent us!

We need your help!

I don't help anyone
anymore.

So you came for nuthin'.
Go home.

That's so unfair.

I'm t.w.,

And we came all this way,
just for you!

(Gasps)
will you look at that!

Whoops! Sorry.

(Laughing)
you're a parallini!

How'd you know?

'Cause she's
a parallelogram!

She has four sides,

With tops and bottoms
the same length,

And left and right sides
that match, too.

(Giggling)

And, she loves
to flex her angles,

Just like yours truly,

Her great uncle,
diamond joe parallini!

Matt:
wow!

You could be in
the shape-shifting

Hall of fame!

(Giggles)

Come, show me
what you got!

Digit:
you're a natural,
t.w!

Of course she is.

Performing's in her blood.

It is?
Tell me! Tell me!

Well, our family was
the most famous circus act

In cyberspace;

The most dazzling acrobats
you ever laid eyes on.

But that was
a long time back.

We don't do it anymore.

Why not?

It's a powerful talent,

But it can be dangerous,
too.

I bet that's why motherboard
sent us to find you -

Because of that talent!

Yeah!
Hacker trapped our friend

On top of mt. Wayupthere,
and-

Hacker?
Mt. Wayupthere?

No!

No! Go away.

Forget you ever met me!

I can't help you!

T.w.:
Uncle joe, you have to!

And we won't leave
till you do!

What good is having
a special talent

If you won't use it
to help others?!

We did use it
to help someone once!

It was the biggest mistake
we ever made!

The last time
the flying parallinis

Used our ability to tilt
and lean,

We brought chaos
to all cyberspace!

(Sobbing)

Digit:
diamond joe,
pull yourself together!

No matter what,
we're on your side.

Whichever side
that is!

(Sighs)

Let me tell you
what happened,

So you'll understand.

Like all parallelograms,

We could tilt and lean
and shift shape

Without ever changing
the length of our sides.

(Crowd cheers)

Only we could do it
in mid-air!

We became known
as the flying parallinis,

And travelled from cybersite
to cybersite

Doin' our tricks.

We could stretch beyond
anyone's wildest dreams,

And fold in a snap.

We loved to show
what parallelograms can do!

Then one day,

When we were practicing
at the northern frontier,

We heard a cry for help

Coming from atop
mt. Wayupthere.

Hacker:
help! Get me off of here!

Diamond joe:
we used our talent
to save the cyborg.

We didn't know who he was,

Till we got him down.

Motherboard thought
she could get rid of me,

But thanks to you,

I'll bring chaos
to cyberspace instead!

Diamond joe:
because we accidentally
helped hacker

In his quest to take over
cyberspace,

We vowed never again to use
our parallelogram power

For anything!

But we need you
to use that power

To save our friend

And keep hacker
from getting the nic!

I made a promise.
I can't help you.

Well, I can!

I'm a parallini too,
you know,

And I'm proud of it!

I have the same talents
as you.

And I'll get all
the little parallinis

To help me save jackie.

So are you with us,
or not?

(Considering)
hmm...

It's time for
the flying parallinis

To fly again!

And this time,
in the name of good!

Well,
it's about time!

What'd you bring?

Things to keep
you quiet!

Are you kidding me?

There is no way
I am doing a hacker puzzle!

You asked for a change
of clothes.

(Disgusted)
ugh!

I wouldn't wear this
even on halloween!

Hey!

Surprise, cyberworld!

I'm your new ruler!

The hacker has won!

That'll never
happen again!

Oh, yes it will.

Just as soon as I get
the nic from motherboard.

Hmm.
And time's just about up!

Hold it right there,
you two duncebuckets!

Oh!

Get back down there
and do your job!

Now!

Whoa!

Diamond joe:
the flying parallinis
must fly again

To keep hacker
from creating more chaos!

(Grumbles)

But we promised
we'd never tilt or lean!

No matter what!

(Gasps)

Mama, we have to!
To save cyberspace!

T.w., No!

And you square up
right now, young lady!

Matt:
everyone, listen!

If hacker gets
the network interface card,

He'll be able to use
his transformatron

And transform himself!

A voice from the crowd:
into what?

Anything he wants!

Crowd:
(fearful gasps)

But you can stop him!

You just have to be
who you are -

The greatest acrobats
in cyberspace!

Crowd:
(cheers of excitement)

With parallelogram power,

You can save jackie
and cyberspace.

Well, if you put it
that way,

Then I guess
we have to help.

(Cheering)

Time's running out,
motherboard.

I want that nic now!

You have exactly five minutes
to deliver the nic!

Buzz:
boss! Look!

The circus is coming!

Oooh! I love the circus!
I love it!

The circus?

(Shouting) what are you
clowns doing here?!

Digit:
we're with the show!

Digit!

You're with what show?!

The flying parallinis!

Remember us, hacker?

We rescued you - ha!

Right here at mt. Wayupthere!

Yes, so you did.

Now we have a new show,

Starring the next generation
of parallinis.

Hey!
Want to see us perform?

Hacker:
no!

Jackie:
oh, I do!

And if you just
let them perform,

I'll be quiet.

All right!

Anything to silence you!

Let the show begin!

Ladies and gentlemen!

I proudly present:

The teeny weeny
flying parallinis!

Jackie:
(applauding) bravo!

Awesome!

Three minutes,
motherboard!

Okay, guys, hit it!

Wuh-oh.

The stack's
not high enough

To reach the jackster!

I know!

If the parallinis all tilt,
they can reach higher!

Everyone!

One, two, three...tilt!

Now stretch!

Okay!
Let's go, nezzie!

Delete:
oooh, buzzy!

Look at that!

Wish I could tilt
and lean like they do!

Two minutes,
motherboard!

We're still not high enough!

Can you stretch anymore?

Stretch it out, g*ng!

Pssst!
Over here!

Jackie!
Come here.

One minute, motherboard,
just one!

What'd you think,
hacker?

I think the show's over!

And time's up for you too,
motherboard.

Get the earthbrat down!

(Gasps)

She's gone!

Buzz:
boss! Over there!

Hacker:
stop them!

Jackie:
bye-bye bad guy!

(Cheering)

To the wreaker!

What are you waiting for?!

Get in the wreaker
and get her back!

Okay, boss,
but there's one tiny problem...

What?!

We can't get there!

You mean...
We're stuck up here?!

All:
helllllllllllp!!!

You guys are awesome!

Thanks for helping
to save me.

And keeping hacker
from getting the nic.

We're the ones
who ought to thank you.

You brought our family
back together.

And made us proud
to be parallinis again.

And now, finally,
we can all have some fun!

(Laughing and cheering)
