01x37 - There Might Be Dragons/Dawn of the Read

Post by bunniefuu »

- Coming up on Odd Squad... (banging) (groaning)

- What's with the dark? - The power just went out!

- There's a big problem. We have to deal with a dragon egg...

(cracking) ...AND IT'S ABOUT TO HATCH!

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is our biggest fan.

But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organization run by kids that investigates

anything strange, weird,

and, especially, odd. Our job is to put things right again.

(theme music)

(Otto screaming)

(roaring)

- Squishinating!

- (Olive): Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

- There Might Be Dragons.

- Alright, sir. Let's see it.

- (man): Hopkins starts typing on his keyboard.

Looks like he's spelling something with an "R" and

a whole bunch of other letters! (crowd cheering)

- Wait -- so, this only happens when you type?

- No, it's with everything.

- There goes Hopkins, getting important vitamins, minerals,

and quenching his thirst! - Sir...

- Oh, please -- call me Hopkins.

I mean, he does.

- Hopkins,

there's only one way to solve this --

do absolutely nothing.

- It should go away eventually. - OK. Thank you, Odd Squad.

- Have a good day.

- Oh, what a blink by Hopkins!

Let's replay, folks! - Replay?

(banging) (both groaning)

- O'Higgins, what's with the dark?

- The power just went out. Sorry about the rough landing --

should be fixed soon. Until then,

I'm making a shadow doggie with my hands.

Ruff, ruff!

- That's pretty good! - We'll need some light, too.

- We can do that? - You still haven't read

your training manual, have you? - Partner, I work on instinct.

(bang) - Right...

Come on, let's go.

- Ruff, ruff! Ruff, ruff!

- There you two are! Something very dark has happened.

- Hi, Ms. O. Do you need help

getting the power back on?

- Nah, I've got experts working on that.

Well, Oscar, anyway.

- GUYS! Oh, hey, guys. There's a big problem. Follow me!

OK, I thought I had the power back on, but I don't.

Whoops, heh heh! So in the meantime,

we have to deal with a dragon egg.

- That's funny -- sounded like you said "a dragon egg".

- Oh, I did. Heh, heh... - (all): AHH!

- It needs music to keep from hatching, but the radio's gone out since the power's been off.

AND IT'S ABOUT TO HATCH! - AHH!

- Don't worry, I have an idea!

♪ Take away one, take away one take away one ♪

♪ Take away one breath from me ♪ - Good work, Agent Otto.

You keep singing while Oscar fixes the power.

- Actually, before I get onto that, I should probably show you and Olive something.

(laughing nervously)

- Take your time! ♪ Take away one ♪

♪ Take away one, take away one breath from me ♪

- Oh, great!

- This is an ice dragon egg. - WHAT?

- I was supposed to take it to the frozen Mount of Gandor...

Work's been crazy lately. I mean, crazy good. I mean, I like being busy, don't' get me

wrong, but when things are too busy it can get a little crazy.

- OSCAR! - As I was saying, this is

a keep-an-egg-cold-inator. Its one job

is to keep this egg cold. But with the power not on,

it's not working. - And this is a problem because?

- Take a look at this thermometer. The line here

tells me how cold the egg is.

Usually it's at degrees Fahrenheit,

which is freezing cold. But since the cold-inator

isn't on, it's getting warmer.

The temperature is at degrees Fahrenheit.

- (Olive): It just went up to degrees! - Guys, if this egg goes up

to degrees Fahrenheit, it's going to hatch, and if it hatches...

- Don't say it! - ...a giant, giant, scary,

ice-breathing dragon is going to come out

and destroy headquarters. - He said it.

- So while I'm working at the power, I need you guys to keep

this egg cold and get that line on the thermometer going down!

- I know where to find something cold -- the break room.

- The Netherlands. - Saturn. - Your idea's best.

- Let's go!

Help! We need something cold!

Oksana, I know the power's out, but is it still cold inside your freezer?

- Yes. - That's great!

We'll take all those cartons of ice cream.

- You want dessert, and you haven't even had lunch!

- Um, no, we don't want to eat it.

We need it to keep a dragon egg cold.

- Then I guess you never watched my video about the rules of the break room.

♪♪♪

Food is for eating.

♪♪♪

I thought it was very clear.

(siren blaring) - I am now taking charge

of this break room. By my authority,

you must hand over the ice cream.

- Yes, Ms. O. - This power never goes out!

- Enjoy. (honking)

- Quick! Check the thermometer.

- It was and now it's degrees.

The temperature went down, which means

the egg is getting colder.

It worked! - Hey, guys! Heh, heh...

The power might still

be a while... - Not to worry.

We cooled off the egg. It's not going to hatch.

- Great! That means it will all be OK! Ha ha!

Yeah! Ha ha! Huh... - Oscar?

Is there one more egg? - No! Are you guys crazy? No!

There is not another egg. (sighing)

OK, there's another egg! Follow me.

(groaning) (hooting)

- This is a fire dragon egg. (sizzling)

I was supposed to take it to the Volcano of Doom, but work's been crazy lately.

Just so unorganized! When things are organized, it's not crazy-- - OSCAR!

- Right. This is a keep-an-egg-hot-inator.

Its one job is to keep this egg hot. With the power off--

- If this egg gets too cold, it'll hatch, so we have to keep it warm.

- Yes! - Could I say something

in a quiet voice, but I mean it in a loud voice?

- Sure! - (whispering): Why didn't you tell us this before?

- Well, I thought we'd have the power back by then. Guys,

we have to make sure this egg's temperature doesn't go below

degrees. - degrees?

That's like hot summer weather. - Yeah.

- See, it's at degrees now. It used to be at .

We got make sure that level's going up, not down!

- We'll find a way to keep it hot. I just hope Otto's doing OK.

- ♪ Whoa, one, one, one One, baby ♪

♪ Are you ready 'cause Sound Check's back in cosmic harmony ♪

♪ Dance, dance like nobody's watching ♪

- Yeah... - He'll be good. I'm going to go check on the power.

- Oh, no! The fire dragon egg is getting colder!

It's down to degrees.

I'll get something hot from the break room.

- I'll keep it warm in the meantime.

Hurry, I'm not very motherly.

(squawking)

- Oksana!

I need the hottest thing you have!

- Lucky for you, I made pea soup before the power went out.

Wait.

Is this soup for eating? - Um...

Uh... Yes?

- I can see in your eyes that you're not telling the truth.

- I'm totally not telling the truth.

- Ah! OK, fine! I need it

to keep a dragon egg warm! - No way.

- Oh, yeah? Well...

I'm taking charge of this break room! (making siren noise)

- You're not Ms. O. (sighing)

- Look, Oksana, I really need that soup.

Is there anything I can do to get it?

- Well, yes. You see,

I have only one kitchen assistant.

- No problem! I'll get you more help. - No. I want him to go away.

(clattering)

- Whoops...

- You're coming with me. And, uh, help me with the soup.

(video game sounds)

degrees.

The temperature went up, so that means

the egg is getting warmer.

- (together): YES!

- Who's that?

- Oh, he's just with us now. (whirring)

- (together): The power's back on!

- Hey, guys! It was just the goat chewing on the wires --

can't believe this is the first time.

Who's that? - He's just with us now.

- OK. - Good news, Oscar. The fire dragon egg is hot,

the ice dragon egg is cold,

and we're all good. - Great!

- GUYS! ...Who's that? - I'm just with you now.

- Oh... Guys,

my dragon egg hatched! I ran out of Sound Check songs.

- Couldn't you have just sung it another song?

- That idea honestly didn't occur to me.

- Oscar, what kind of dragon

was inside that egg? - Ooh! The worst one.

(loud roaring)

An invisible dragon!

- (Olive): And it breathes fire and ice?

- And I don't have a gadget to fix it!

- But wait -- how big is this dragon? - About the size of a bear.

- We can use this bear-trap-inator to catch it.

- But how can we catch a dragon we can't see?

- Clear the way, tapioca pudding coming through!

(roaring) - NOW, OTTO!

(whirring)

(all cheering)

- Yeah, we got it! Ha ha, woo! Uh...

- Wait, Oksana,

What about your video? I thought food was for eating.

- I guess you didn't watch all the way to the end.

Food is for eating. ♪♪♪

...Unless there is an invisible dragon destroying headquarters.

Not to worry. Always stay until the end of the credits.

- Always.

- Who's that? - Yeah, he's with us now.

- I joined because the Earth should be round,

not square.

- I joined because sandwiches should be tasty,

not sandy.

- I joined because nobody should be able to make this noise:

(mechanical screeching and groaning)

(noise stops)

- We are... - We are... - We are...

- We are Odd Squad.

Since the beginning of time --

and we're talking way back --

we've been fighting odd.

In our spare time, we also like to draw pictures of ourselves.

We really like this one.

- There's no case too big,

no case too small,

at Odd Squad,

we do it all.

And yes, that is flying broccoli.

Join Odd Squad at pbskids.org and youe Read.

- (cracking up): So this guy walks in, and he's like...

- "Hi, I'd like to sign out a book, please!"

- Ha ha! So then I say, "What do I look like,

a potato?" (all laughing uproariously)

- Potato! Ha ha ha!

- When did the four of them become such great friends?

- When Oren and Olaf saved the library.

- They saved the library? - Yeah.

Wait...

I know a story you don't?

I can't believe it! Normally, you're the one that knows--

- Otto! Can you tell me the story? - Sure.

It started off, like most cases do, in Ms. O's office.

- (together): Something very odd has happened! - Hey, that's my line!

- (mumbling): Uh, sorry... - As you all know,

this is what the library normally looks like.

- (chuckling): Hey! - Very nice.

- But this is what it looks like now.

- Yay, flying books! - This isn't a "yay" situation, Olaf.

- Boo! - Better. - Hang on --

not all the books are flying. Some of them are still on the shelves.

We have to go to the library to collect more evidence.

- (first librarian): Well, let us know how it goes.

- We have a badminton game this afternoon, so...kind of busy.

- Yeah, ha ha! - (together): Badminton!

- You both have to come with us. - Fine,

but we're bringing our rackets. Ha ha!

Ha! Partner! (screeching)

(howling)

- I'm upset too, Olaf. - Actually,

he was asking if the library has any security cameras.

You know, to review the tapes from this morning to see if there's anything unusual.

- I really misread that howl! - There's a room

with security cameras at the far end of the library.

- Alright, here's the plan. We're going to open the doors--

- AHH! (doors sliding)

- Hey... - We're going to follow Olaf.

- AHH!

- (Oren): Run! The books are gaining on us!

- (first librarian): Come on, run!

- (second librarian): Security room is to the left!

-We made it! - I got a paper cut.

(hammering on door) - Here are the security camera

monitors -- I'll cue up all the footage from this morning.

(mooing)

- (Oren): These three villains visited the library this morning:

Double Dave... (gasping) - Tammy -Spot...

(gasping) - ...and Even Steven.

This would go a lot faster if you saved your gasps until the end.

- Oh, yeah... Save my voice. - I can see that.

- Double Dave likes doubling numbers,

so if you start with then double it, you get .

Double that, you get . Tammy Ten Spot --

she likes to count by s. , ,

, . And Even Steven --

he's only into even numbers. - Which is any number

that can be divided by , or in half.

To fully illustrate this concept,

these security monitors are an example of an even number.

here, here. divided in half.

- Oh... - Now you can gasp.

(gasping)

- Uh, so...which of them did it?

- Well, each villain has a "thing" for numbers,

and every book in the library has a number on the spine.

- Yeah, that's how I organize them on the shelves.

- If we catch some of the flying books,

maybe the numbers can help us find out which villain did it!

- Great! Uh, uh, wait... - Uh...

- When you say "catch some of the flying books",

you mean with our hands?

- I wouldn't use your feet! Ha! That's Olaf's thing.

- (Olaf): Yay! (beeping)

(grunting)

- (Oren): I got one! - Ah -- me too!

- Me three! - Me four!

- Let's head back to the security office!

My book has the number .

- Mine has . - I got .

- . - Let's put these on a number line.

Here are the book we caught. (beeping)

Argh -- if only we could find a pattern!

- Doubling! - What?

plus is , plus is , plus is .

- The numbers are doubled. - Nice work, Olaf.

Must be the work of Double Dave. (librarians gasping)

Now we can set our flying-book- inator to the right setting

and blast the books. - Yay!

- Time to write this story an ending!

Uh-oh... - Now they're mad!

- WE NEED TO RUN! - Oh!

(slamming on door) - What happened? - I don't know!

- You said it was doubling! - (whispering): Shh, shh, shh! We're not alone in here!

Olaf -- turn around.

(all yelling and screaming)

Get the number! - Number !

- OK... Now we have

, , , and .

It can't be a doubling pattern. - Because plus is ,

but plus is , not . - Wait a minute,

it's counting up by s.

, , , .

It must be Tammy -spot!

But it could also be Even Steven.

- OK, I'm confused. - Check it out:

, , , , and

are all even numbers. They all have s

at the end of them, which means they can all be

divided by , or cut in half.

- What do we do now? - We head back out there

and we try two options:

first, we blast the books for s,

and if that doesn't work, we blast the books for even numbers.

(howling) - OK, I got this one;

Olaf is thirsty. - He's thirsty!

You know how to do that! - I really do!

- Yeah, not even close. - Oh...

- Olaf's worried that if the books are flying to fast,

we won't be able to try both options. - Well, is he right?

- There's only one way to find out.

Flying-book-inator set for s.

Time to end this chapter for good! - Yay!

- They're still flying at us! - Boo.

- Flying-book-inator set for even numbers.

- Uh-oh...

- RUN! - AH!

- What happened? - I don't know!

I thought for sure it would be one of those three villains!

Maybe we were wrong. - Maybe we didn't see everyone.

Look over here, see that elbow? Someone else was in the library!

- Hey, I don't recognize that elbow, and I'm usually very good with elbows!

- I bet you could see the rest of that person if you checked the camera...

- (together): ...in our other security office!

- How many security cameras do you need for a library?

- Uh, we take the safety of our books

very seriously. (muttering disbelievingly)

- Fine, let's go. - NO!

The other security office is on the other side of the library! We'll never make it!

- Yes, we will. We're going to sneak past the books

without them seeing us.

- How? - I have an idea.

- (whispering): Oren, you sure this is going to work?

- I'm not Oren, I am a book!

- What? What happened to Oren?

- Just blend in! - Oh!

- We should have used magazines! - Shh!

- I think they're getting suspicious!

I think they smell my paper cut! - Shh!

They're onto us!

- RUN! - RUN!

Frieda Fiver! That's whose elbow it was!

Frieda likes to county by s. - But how does our number pattern

connect with counting by ? - If you count by ,

you would still get all the numbers on this line.

Start at . plus equals !

- more is ; another makes .

- None of the books we've collected so far has any , ,

, or even , for that matter. I mean, if you're going to count by s, right?

- Well, I'm sure they're flying around here somewhere.

- But how can we be sure? - Oh, well that clears it up, right there.

- Rise, books, rise! RISE! RISE! (cackling)

- Yeah, OK, it was her. - Ah! Case closed!

Let's go zap some books! - Where's the flying-book-inator?

- (Olaf): Uh-oh... - (Oren): OH, NO!

It must have fallen from my pocket while I was running!

- Don't we kind of need that thing?

- Yes, which is why Olaf and I are going after it. Uh, can you two help us

fight off all those books. - Yes! - No!

- No? - Oh, yeah, sure. You know, if we have to. Last resort.

Back against the wall. (hooting)

- Everybody ready?

- (both): Ready! - On the count of .

- Huh? - , , , , , , !

(yelling)

- Setting the flying-book-inator to Frieda Fiver.

- We can't hold them off much longer!

(all cheering)

- Mr. Fonts, you were right -- those books were hard to put down.

- I never said that. - It would have been cooler if you did.

- You know what? These books are really hard to stop reading.

- And that's how Oren and Olaf saved the library. - Otto, that was us.

- What? - That whole case -- we solved it,

not Oren and Olaf. Remember?

- No matter what happens, I will always remember this moment.

- RUN! (all yelling)

- Oh, yeah... - It was

kind of weird how you kept howling so much.

- So why are Mr. Fonts and Dustin such good friends

with Oren and Olaf? - Olaf is my nephew!

- (together): Oh...

- What do you say, Mr. Fonts? You want to play some badminton?

- YAY! (howling like Olaf)

- OK, but have I ever told you

the story where...Oren and Olaf helped Santa deliver presents?

- That was us again. - Got turned into puppets?

- Still us. - How about the time that

Olaf started shrinking and I got the growing potato? - Seriously?

(fanfare playing)

- Odd Squad Odd Report.

- Greetings, Agents. I'm Oscar with today's Odd Report.

As you can see, we have bumper-to-bumper blobs

on the East Bay Bridge. Also,

there's a giant crushing houses in town!

O'Connor, can we bring up the photo?

- COMIN' AT YA! - That's you, O'Connor.

- YEAH! - You again...

- YEAH! - That's actually me and you.

- YEAH! - That was quite a fun day,

there. But seriously, the one of the giant!

- YOU GOT IT! - There's the big guy.

On Monday, he crushed a house on th Street.

"ARGH, I'm so angry!"

And on Tuesday, he crushed a house on th Street.

"I think I might have anger management issues!"

And yesterday, he destroyed a house

on th Street. "I have no respect for personal property!"

Now, O'Connor thinks that this guy's all over the place,

but, I mean, O'Connor also thinks I can't speak Dolphin.

(barking like a seal) Understand what that meant, O'Connor?

Yeah, exactly. Anyways,

if you put these streets on a number line, you can really see that he's skipping by s.

First he went to th Street,

then skipped , streets to th Street,

then skipped , more streets to th Street.

Now that we know his pattern, we can predict

that today he will crush a house on

, ... th Street.

Which is where I live! Heh!

Oh, no... DOLPHIN BROTHERS UNITE!

(barking like a seal) - YEAH!

Teamwork Together as a Team. - There you are. Something very odd has - Oddh

- My name is Agent Oren. - I'm Olaf!

- Olaf, this is my interview!

As I was saying, I'm Oren.

I'm not the bragging type,

but I am the best agent the Squad's got.

Some other things you might not know about me is that

I am a very good sharer.

- LEAVE IT! - LET GO, YOU'LL BREAK IT!

(all yelling)

- I'm a hard worker. - What are you doing?

- What does it look like we're doing? We're working!

One piece of advice to give the other agents:

if Ms. O offers to send you

to Blobsylvania to count blobs,

do not go.

(spooky organ playing) ...or was it ?

Oh, we have to start all over again!

- YAY! - WILL YOU STOP SAYING THAT?

I'm still cleaning the blob out of everywhere!

- Odd Squad: Teams Working with Teams

Together as a Team Together. ...I think that was it?
