02x07 - Prescott's Bots

[bunniefuu]

Maple trees like this one store sap in their trunks.

We use a pump to draw the liquid out.

Maple sap is mainly water, so we need this machine to remove most of the moisture leaving pure maple syrup! Yum.

You refuse carrot soup, yet you enjoy this plant liquid.

Because it's awesome on pancakes.

Welcome to the annual Griffin Rock syrup harvest! - Huxley, are you getting this? - Of course, Mayor Luskey! Because nothing says prime time anchor like watching the sap run.

Chief Burns! Ugh.

This guy.

Have you given any more thought to participating in my reality show? I have the perfect title Huxley Prescott's bots! Bots? A TV series about us? They're not your bots, Mr.

Prescott, and my answer is still no.

Rescue work is dangerous.

That's what makes it great TV! Yeah, all right, all right.

Simmer.

I'm happy to pour from this season's first bottle of liquid gold! Whoa! Oh no! Showtime! Routine patrol with four bots in stasis years later awoke in the strangest of places Earth was their home now and in addition Optimus Prime gave them this mission learn from the humans serve and protect live in their world earn their respect a family of heroes will be your allies to others remain robots in disguise Rescue Bots roll to the rescue humans in need heroes indeed Rescue Bots roll to the rescue Rescue Bots with Cody to guide them and show them the way Rescue Bots will be saving the day Rescue Bots roll to the rescue Rescue Bots 2x07 - Prescott's Bots Mr.

Mayor! Are you all right? A tower of terror, a pancaked politico.

What does this bad omen say about the syrup harvest? Only that the maples have a little extra kick this year.

Who's hungry? Y-yow! Oh! Chief, next year, remind me to cut back on the butter.

This syrup is amazingly sticky.

Oh-oh-oh-oh, make sure he's squeaky clean, Cody.

We need to look our best for my our reality debut.

I sincerely doubt that chief will allow our rescue work to become entertainment.

He is not fond of lookie-loos.

Neither is Optimus.

But a TV series is our chance to be famous.

Huxley would be famous.

We'd be pretending to be mindless tin cans.

It's called acting.

Sorry, Blades.

Dad says cameras at a rescue aren't safe.

Plus, there's no way the Mayor would put Griffin Rock's top secret tech on network TV.

What about cable? Oh How many different ways can I say no, Huxley? Before you say it in swahili, take a look at this.

Heroes need a spotlight to become legends.

Mayor, you are that legend-in-waiting.

Look at that face.

The camera simply loves you! Well, uh Maybe just a pilot episode.

I don't know how he did it, but despite government protocol, Island security and common sense, Mr.

Prescott has been granted full access to our team.

Welcome to the thrilling world of non-scripted television.

I have a camera assigned to each of you.

Yeah, just make sure to get my good side both of 'em.

I'm feeling very self conscious.

Ahem.

Um, wrist joint's acting up.

Let's get one thing straight, Huxley.

Access isn't permission to interfere.

You're only here to observe.

Of course, chief.

My equipment will follow your team at a safe distance.

I'll conduct in-action interviews from my van's video-capture center.

Anything I can help with, dad? Why don't you make sure the bots are primed for the cameras.

Chief Burns, what dangers do you look for when patrolling the mean streets of Griffin Rock? I don't look for danger.

I just try to be ready if it happens.

Because who knows where peril may strike.

This intersection, for starters.

Griffin Rock's worst traffic accidents happen right here.

Multi-car pile-ups? Overturned big rigs? Fender-benders.

About once a month, because people tend to do that.

Traffic violation.

Permission to pursue.

Granted.

Ratings gold! A car chase! Come on, don.

You know you missed the red light back there.

But you call that a police pursuit? It lasted 1.

2 seconds.

Sorry to disappoint you, Huxley.

Guess we're just good at our jobs.

A vengeful vacuum, a frightened feline.

Will this kitty cat be kitty caught? Robot, take care of it.

What? You couldn't have let the fur ball sweat a little? I'm trying to create some drama here! Mr.

Sharma! Secure my hook to your boat's mast.

Danger on the high seas.

Will this vessel venture onward or become a titan of terror? Ship ahoy.

Blades, no showboating.

I'm just trying to come up with my catchphrase, Dani.

Every reality star has one.

Oh, how about, "that really takes the tuna!" Or "you've been coptered!" How about, "silence is golden"? It's over already? Oh, come on! You're massacring me here, people! I am confused by Mr.

Prescott's behavior.

He seemed upset I apprehended a speeder in record time.

Yeah.

He didn't like how quickly I saved Mr.

Pettypaws either.

I didn't know there was such a thing as a too-fast rescue.

As long as it's safe.

I think Huxley's more interested in what makes good TV than what makes good rescue work.

Well, why can't we give him both? Get the job done, but do it with style.

Ha-cha! And what thrilling new invention are you working on, Graham? Uh, my engineering homework? That was close.

This squilsh is pretty dangerous unless it stays vacuum-sealed.

Uh squilsh sucks up everything it touches.

It once soaked up an entire swimming pool.

It was actually pretty gross.

Uh want to see photos? Yeah, I need to recharge my cameras.

Okay, everyone, prying eyes are closed for now.

Finally.

Oh What if there's an emergency? Rescue Bots are always at the ready should calamity strike.

But the cameras aren't.

Our fans will want to see everything.

We don't have fans.

Yet.

Hey, team, someone needs to get to the zoo, now.

Nancy Morrison fell into the lion cage! Trust me, you do not want to join his circle of life.

Dani, now! In nature programs, that often means a lion's about to Never quite got the syrup out of his treads, huh? Aw Chief Burns! Why didn't you tell me you were planning this? A distressed child, a ferocious beast I mean, that's must-see TV! Planning? Huxley, we respond to emergencies, we don't create them.

Oh, you don't but someone else could.

Dad, we got a call.

The bank was just robbed! Cody, any alarms triggered? No, and I can't see anything wrong on the security cameras.

The tipster said the thieves took off in an armored car.

Dad, I see one on lake street! Exit the armored vehicle with your extremities raised.

Jerry? Sorry, chief.

Uh, I was just running my regular route.

Was I speeding? No, but it looks like we have a prank caller.

Cody, can you trace that tip? - On it, dad.

- Let me know what you find.

Though I already have my suspicions.

Uh, my engineering homework? No! Viewers would skip through this show to get to the commercials.

I need bigger, epic.

Something pretty dangerous.

That was close.

This squilsh is pretty dangerous.

The bank's been robbed! The thieves took off in a How's this? I turn to the camera and say, "who's your Dani?" All right, all right, how about, "it's chopper time!" Huh? Huh? 'Cause I'm I'm a helicopter.

Blades, our job is to help people, not seek fame.

Not even a little fame? Fifteen minutes! It'll be over before you know it.

It's Huxley.

No! I'm not camera-ready.

No, I mean dad's suspicions were right.

I traced the prank call.

The bank's been robbed.

The thieves took off in a He used a voice distortion device.

I am shocked to the spark.

Mr.

Prescott knowingly interfered with police and rescue procedure? But this is reality TV.

Blades, it can either be reality or TV, not both.

Mr.

Prescott and I need to have a little chat.

Right now.

Hope the Burns family is ready for their close-ups.

Griffin Rock emergency.

There's trouble at the dam! Oh, should we hurry Huxley? Yes.

I mean, um Making phony emergency calls is highly illegal.

Your show is going on permanent hiatus.

You don't have the authority to cancel me! We'll see what the Mayor has to say.

Aw.

After all that, another dud.

Slow down before you ! Griffin Rock emergency.

There's been an accident.

Well, Huxster.

What tall tale will you be spinning this time? No, no! Kade, it's real.

A car crash! Uh-huh.

And the forest it's on fire! You're a fireman, you have to do something.

Ha-ha.

Nice bedtime story.

"the boy who cried wolf," right? Hey, I got one for you, "the Kade who hung up.

" Can you believe this guy? Huxley called in another emergency.

A two-for-one.

Car crash and fire.

Kade, we have to take all emergency calls seriously, no matter who sounds the alarm.

Huxley's not kidding this time.

Look! Rescue Bots, roll to the rescue! Robots, move that truck away from the trees.

Prank phone calls are one thing, but now you've actually caused an accident for your show? No, no, no.

I didn't make the truck crash.

He ran the red light and almost hit me.

It it's a dangerous intersection, remember? Kade, the blaze is moving fast and heading toward town.

We need to build firebreaks to stop the flames from spreading.

Stay out of our way, Huxley.

We're done with your reality.

Fine.

I don't need you or your wind-up toys to make great television.

I'm my own star! Boulder, dig a ditch along the road this way.

If there's nothing for the fire to burn, it won't be able to reach the town.

Chase, find some rocks.

We can build another firebreak going that way.

Y-you're not out of water? My reserve tanks aren't endless, you know.

And the air here's too dry to synthesize liquid.

Need some agua, Dani! Yeah, Cody said you might.

Scoop claws ready for action, and we're at the reservoir.

Hold on.

The water's trying to scoop us! That's not water.

That's squilsh! How is that possible? I have the only sample on the island.

You mean you had the only sample.

Ugh.

If this is what being a reality star is, I'm only auditioning for sitcoms.

Cody, call Doc Greene.

He knows how to best handle the squilsh.

Dad, we got a bigger problem.

No water, anywhere.

The squilsh must have sucked up every river that runs into the reservoir.

There's no place to refill Heatwave's tanks.

We can't fight a fire without water.

Yes, you can.

The maple grove! Cody, this is no time to be thinking about syrup.

But it's the perfect time to be thinking about sap.

- Maple sap is mostly water.

- Great idea, Cody.

These firebreaks should hold for a while.

Dani, if the squilsh is in the reservoir, it can't reach the ocean.

Fill your scoop claw there.

Everyone else, see you at the maple grove.

Using a breakfast topping against a thousand degree fire.

What could possibly go wrong? Why did I not learn this during firefighter training? Hmm, maple trees.

Another wondrous example of nature's bounty.

Unfortunately, they lack mobility.

I don't.

Power up and energize! A creeping conflagration, an endangered estate! But who will save the day? I, Huxley Prescott.

Newscaster.

Newsmaker.

And the last line of defense against Huxley! Why are you standing there recording this? Do something! There's a new face of heroism This one.

So, what's plan "b"? Get these cameras out of here! Your show is over, Huxley! You can't stop reality TV.

Nothing can! We made quite a splash.

I thought we stopped with the catchphrases? Where's Boulder? He said he'd help me pick out a book.

Graham and doc needed a hand containing the squilsh.

Why don't you just watch TV? TV has betrayed my trust.

Maybe I can renew your faith.

I warned you that rescue work was dangerous, Huxley.

Maybe next time my advice will stick with you? Best show ever! rough corr.
