There it is, bro.

Manchester United on a web cast.

I take back anything bad
I ever said about the Internet.

Look, I got it.
I got it, I got it, I got it.

It's not contagious, is it?

- Funny.
- Yeah, sorry. What is it?

I applied for an internship
with Channel , and I'm in.

That's awesome.
Lots of kids at school applied for that.

They only accepted two this semester,
and guess which show I'll be working on.

The Funky Fisherman's
Cartoon Cavalcade.

No way. That's my favorite show.

- I mean, it was when I was a kid.
- CONNER: Uh-huh.

I can still hear the theme song now...

♪ So grab your gear, and we'll all go ♪

Look, it's Marty the Mackerel.

♪ He'll hook us
a cartoon spectakerel ♪

Whoa, whoa, stop.

Dude, it's songs like that that made me
wanna go outside and play soccer.

Yeah, I gotta get down
to the station. See ya.

Did you just hear that?
The teen-angst poster child

just got my internship.

I'm the one with the future in television.
Oh, it was a stupid internship, anyway.

Yeah, really stupid.

Well, so, you must be the new girl.

Hi. I'm Kira.

And you're the Funky Fisherman.
It's so great to be here.

- I've watched your show for...
- You see this hand?

It should have a coffee in it.

You have five seconds.

Sure. Do you take...

Five,

four, three,

two... one.

The cream.

Five, four,

three, two...

- ... one.
- There you go.

Too much cream.
What is it with you interns?

I can't work with these people.

I don't drink... Oh, sorry.

Oh! Oh, jeez.

I'm sorry.

You work here, too?

Yeah. Don't tell Cassidy,
but I got the other internship.

Some internship.
So far, all I've done is

empty trash and get yelled at
by the Funky Fisherman.

Tell me about it.
All I've been doing is

monitoring the closed-circuit
security cameras. Not great.

- I'm seriously thinking of quitting.
- Yeah?

♪ Happy fish, happy... ♪
Whoa!

Oh, I'm sorry. I was just practicing
the Happy Fish Dance.

- It's OK.
- You must be the new interns.

- Yeah.
- Welcome.

- How's your first day going?
- Oh, it's probably gonna be my last.

You should never give up.
It'll get better, I promise.

Yeah?

FUNKY FISHERMAN: Where's that-fish?!

I'm not missing my herbal full-body wrap
because he's late!

Five, four...

I hate it when he counts.
I gotta get going.

I hope you stick around.
You might just get hooked!

Ha-ha.

- Well, uh, I guess I'll see you around.
- See ya.

Three, two, one.

Hey, fishin' friends,
I'm the Funky Fisherman.

Are you ready for
a cavalcade of cartoons, kids?

Happy mackerel!

Ha-ha-ha.

Now, that's scary.

The giant fish man
would give anyone nightmares.

Very frightening.

I'm gonna capture him
for the Geno Randomizer.

Can't be worse than
the other life forces we've sampled.

That may be the dumbest idea
you've had yet.

- Watch your tongue.
- Make me!

( Growls )

You two better figure out
a way to get along,

or Mesogog will put us all
in the punishment chamber.

Now, I'm gonna go get me that fish.

You may be Anton Mercer's son,

but you are still new to Mesogog's team.

You shouldn't overstep your place.

What if I don't like my place?

What if I think I deserve
to be higher up in the food chain?

- Say, second?
- That's my position.

Then I guess you won't mind
defending it... on the b*ttlefield.

Name the time and the place.

( ♪ Hums ♪ )

This job couldn't get any worse.

- Now, why did I have to say that?
- Uhh...

Hate to interrupt you at work.

Ha-ha-ha!

( Groans )

Get her.

Hyah!

Hi-yah!

Whoa! Wah!

Whoa.

Sorry, all guests have to
check in with security.

Um, I'll go sign them in.

Ready.

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Hah! Hyah!

Kyah! Hi-yah!

Hi-yah!

Ha! Yaah!

Hi-yah! Whoa. Hyah!

Who is interrupting
my therapeutic cleansing nap?

- Oh, man.
- ♪ Happy fish, happy, happy, happy fish ♪

The frightening fish. You're all mine.

Hide me...

Oh, no.

Hyah!

Get the fish! Good work.

Whoa. Not so happy fishy-fish.

( Pants ) Oh, no.

Power down.

Where am I? What's going on?

You've got five seconds
to get me out of here.

- I'm claustrophobic!
- Guys, we have a problem.

Five, four, three...

Sorry, Devin, but until our two stars
decide to show up again,

the show's on hold.
You can go home.

But I was just starting
to enjoy my menial role.

All clear.

We have to take him to Dr. O's lab
and get him back to normal.

I demand to know
where you're taking me.

Someone's gonna pay if I miss
my Ginseng facial scrub.

We better cover this thing up
in case he can see out.

OK.

KIRA: That's better.

Well, are you ready?

Not quite.

White Ranger, Dino power.

TRENT: Winner take all?

Winner will be the undisputed
second in command.

Hah!

You're on.

This is quite a set.
I can almost smell the creativity.

So nice to meet you.
Who built your costumes?

I designed mine myself,
but you can probably tell.

Silence, fool!

Oh, you're good.
Who's your agent?

I am not impressed, Elsa.

This had better work.

Hi-yah!

- Now, that's a monster.
- Yes.

ETHAN: This could be the end of one
of the most popular shows ever made.

We gotta do something.

HAYLEY: We'll figure it out, Ethan.
Don't worry.

Are you all right in there?

Am I all right? Do I look all right?

I'm six inches tall!

People are so different on TV
than they are in person.

Who are you? Where am I?

I can't see a thing.

What do you think they wanted with
Marty the Mackerel in the first place?

- Sushi?
- ( Beeping )

I'm gonna take the reef out of Reefside.

- There's your answer.
- I smell something fishy, all right.

Hayley, see if you can figure out
a way to get our friend back to normal.

We'll see if we can net the big fish.

Dev, what's up?

You look awful.
Even more awful than usual.

Yeah, well, I just lost
my internship down at the...

You got the internship?
My internship?

Yes, but wait.
Before you go and freak out,

let me tell you it wasn't all
muffin baskets and pedicures.

I mean, they had me watching
security-camera footage all day.

- Whoo-hoo. Yeah.
- OK, well, that doesn't sound like fun.

The only vaguely interesting thing was
when the Yellow Ranger turned up,

and then Marty Mackerel got captured,

and that was after the Funky Fisherman
got stuck in a TV.

And you have this all on tape?

Yeah, I'm sure we do,
but it's all boring, boring, boring.

Devin, come on!

This is the chance I've been waiting for.

( Both Screaming )

Oh, check that out.

( Screaming )

Whoa-h*! They're really biting today.

All right, you guys ready?

- Ready.
- BOTH: Ready.

DinoThunder, power up. Ha!

ALL: Dino power, hyah!

- Something fishy's going on.
- You won't get a line on me.

We're gonna scale back your operation.

Not till I've caught my limit.

- We'll fillet you!
- And your fishy jokes.

Not before you taste my tuna surprise.

Aah! Here's the catch of the day.

Oh, yeah? Aah!

Never did like fish.

Hyah! You're hooked.

- Hey!
- Kira!

Hold on. Hold it together, guys.

Well, this is the big one.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.

I'll ease off the line.
Now I reel you in.

- Ethan!
- I got you!

- Help!
- Whoa!

( All Scream )

- My armpits hurt.
- The stress level's increasing.

Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh.
Oh, my pole.

Going down!

- Ow!
- What happened? My head.

My graphite salt-water pole is busted,

but I'll be back,
angling for another attack.

White Drago sword.

Missed me.

You are weak. You cannot control
the White Ranger powers.

You wish.

The prove it. Hyah!

Attack.

Why don't you just give up
while you can?

The energy that Marty the Mackerel
is using

to capture people in his bait jar
is the same as

the energy that was used to put
the Funny Fisherman here in the TV.

That's Funky Fisherman.

Whatever. All you have to do is get him
to fire his capture ray at the monitor,

then deflect it with this reversal shield.

- Thanks, Hayley.
- What about Marty?

He's still in
the Mad Mackerel somewhere.

The only way to free him is to destroy
the Geno Randomizer's configuration.

Where's that fish?!

I heard that.

That two-faced, hanger-on,
fish-faced freak

deserves to suffer for every bit
of misery he's caused me!

- Hey, that freak made you a star.
- More importantly, he's your friend.

Or don't you know
what that word means anymore?

You may not deserve it,
but you're about to get a second chance.

- Let's go, guys.
- Ready.

BOTH: Ready.

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Hyah!

Oh, yes, come to Papa.

Waah!

In you go. Another one.
A new record.

Yeah, this new pole is top-of-the-line.

Get it? Line! ( Laughs )

There he is.

Come on, guys, get into position.

Huh?

- OK, let's get us a fish.
- Can't catch me.

Time to gut this fish.

Hey!

Aah!

And again.

Aah!

Aah... stop!

- ALL: Huh?
- Or the bait's fish paste.

We've gotta get that bait jar.

You're all fish food. Hyah!

Duck!

You don't stand a chance.

Heh-heh-heh-heh.

Back off.

Never.

- Marty, are you in there?
- Marty's not here anymore.

Gimme your best shot.

Gladly.

Heh-heh-heh-heh.

Whoa.

It's a trick.

Thanks, Hayley.

Where am I?

That's my catch.

No!

Ew, gross. I smell like fish.

That does it.

- Yeah.
- Good job.

You know what to do.

ALL: Let's pull together.

ALL: Z-Rex Blaster.

Ready.

I'm swimming upstream.

ALL: Fire!

( Whimpers ) Aah!

- All right!
- Yeah!

- We did it!
- Yeah!

Grr... this isn't over yet.

Try this one for size.

There's always a bigger fish.

Brachio!

( Roars )

ALL: Hyah!

ALL: On-line.

( Growls )

I'll get my hooks into you. Ha!

ALL: Pterasaur Zord!

BLUE RANGER: Ankylozord!

ALL: Casting out.

Huh? Aah! Whoa!

Aah! Wah!

Yes!

- Whoa-h*.
- Yeah.

YELLOW RANGER: Awesome!

Aah!

- Ohh.
- Marty.

Oh... oh... oh.

Funky?

Marty, why do I get the strangest feeling
I owe you an apology?

I don't know, but I sure feel
like a tuna sandwich.

Join me?

Sure, pal.
Come on, my treat.

MARTY: It sure is good
to be back to normal.

- Time to end this.
- You're right.

I'm more powerful than you think.

- Really?
- Let me show you.

Aah! Unh!

This isn't finished.

Losers can't be choosers, Zeltrax.

I'll see you back at the lair,
number three.

This is for you, Marty.

A grouper?

A group of groupers.
