01x38 - Olive and Otto in Shmumberland

Post by bunniefuu »

- Coming up next on Odd Squad... - She doesn't like Shmumberman.

- What? - Whenever a new comic comes out, everyone stops working.

- Here, here. I'll use my put-away-inator.

- Or my save-it-for-later-inator.

- Wait, don't use those gadgets at the same time!

My name is Agent Olive.

This is my partner, Agent Otto.

This is a vase...or a face.

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.

- Olive and Otto in Shmumberland.

- Good evening, sir. We heard something odd was happening?

- Yeah! Watch this.

I wish I had a basketball. (bang)

- Whoa! - See? - Question: Did you happen

to purchase a lamp recently? - Actually, as a matter of fact,

I did! (Middle Eastern music playing)

- Yup, that's a magic lamp.

It grants you three wishes. - And since you wished

for a basketball, you only have two left.

- Oh, no, no, no. I already wished for these here sneakers.

- So you only have one wish left.

Use it wisely.

- What? Oh, man!

I wish you guys told me that this morning!

- Good morning, sir. We heard something odd was happening.

- Oh, man!

(chirping)

(snickering)

- You're really enjoying that file!

- Hmm? Oh, I love work!

- Hold on... (Olive humming nervously)

- HEY! - What is this?

- Give it back!

Shmumberman Vs Dr. Soup?

I haven't read this one yet.

Is it good? - So good!

On page , Shmumberman breaks into a peanut butter castle.

See? And then two pages later, on page ,

he discovers that-- - LA LA LA LA!

I don't want you to spoil it for me.

Except, why are you hiding it?

- (quietly): Ms. O doesn't like Shmumberman.

- What? Why?

- I'll tell you why! (slurping)

Because whenever a new comic comes out,

everyone stops working -- like Olive's doing right now.

- But Ms. O, you and Shmumberman are so alike!

You both love juice,

you both can lift up cars-- - We are nothing alike!

GRR! Hand it over so I can throw it out.

- You can't do that, I haven't read it yet!

- And I've only read it times!

- Here, here, I'll use my put-away-inator.

- Or my save-it- for-later-inator.

- Wait, don't use those gadgets at the same time!

...Or that'll happen.

- AHH!

- Hey, this is just like the time we fell

into the board game. - Yeah, yeah.

- AHH!

(banging) (groaning)

- Look --

it's the Shmumbermobile and the Shmumbercopter

and the Shmumberbicycle built for two!

- Whoa, a statue of Shmumbly the butler!

- I'm a real person.

(gasping)

- What's...going on?

- Partner, look in the Shmumbermirror.

- I... I think

we're inside...the comic book.

- (together): BEST DAY EVER! WOO-HOO! YEAH!

- This is awesome! (Odd Squad ringtone playing)

Gopher Olive. - Olive?

- Ms. O? Otto and I got sucked into the comic book.

- I know. I'm watching you right now. Are you OK?

- Um, better than OK.

We met Shmumbly the butler, Otto's riding the Shmumbershark...

(h*nky tonk music playing) - Yee-haw!

- I can't wait to meet Shmumberman!

- Not going to happen. - Why not?

- Because he's out here with me. - It's true!

Mm... What a strange, round world this is!

- Hang on, agents. I'll get Oscar to fix this.

OSCAR!

- Agent Orrzack, you're not Oscar.

- No, ma'am, but you told me if you ever yelled

"OSCAR!" to remind you that

he's out of the office this week. He took his yo-yo show on the road.

- Behold my next trick, ha ha!

(rock music blaring) (crowd roaring)

Hey, thank you! Heh...

- Argh! But if Oscar's not here, how do we fix this?

- No rush on this side, I shall enjoy having many adventures in your world,

learning life lessons -- perhaps falling in love.

ARGH! Unh... (suit beeping and whirring)

(groaning) (sparks snapping)

- What's happening? - I don't know! An alarm in his suit went off and he fell down.

- It's because Shmumberman comes from the lost planet

of Fruitlantis. It has a fruit juice core.

- Ugh, you're fan too? - Oh, yeah!

- Give it to me straight, Orrzack.

- Shmumberman needs juice to survive. - Preferably apple!

(slurping) - Olive and Otto,

I need you to get out of the comic so I can get juice boy

back in before he drinks all my juice.

- Professor Straw could help. - Professor what?

- Professor Straw is the scientist that's always

building stuff for Shmumberman.

Maybe she could build a machine

to zap us out and zap Shmumberman back in.

- Good thinking, partner. We're on it, Ms. O.

- No autographs! Back to work!

Shoo! Shoo!

Orrzack, help me get juice boy to my office.

- Your office? This is the day I've been waiting for!

The day you ask me to move in to your office and help you run Odd Squad!

- What? That's not what I'm...

Just grab his legs.

Hmm! He's way lighter than I thought.

- It's because his bones are made out of bendy straws.

- Ugh! That's just gross.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

- (together): To the Shmumbermobile!

(spy movie music playing) (engine revving)

(tires squealing) (clanging)

OW! - What happened?

- Comic book rules -- you can't leave the page you're on.

- Then why did you let us do the whole,

"To the Shmumbermobile!" - You were so excited.

I didn't want to ruin it.

- How are we supposed to get to the page with Professor Straw?

- Partner, there's a number on the bottom of each page.

Maybe we can get to the page we want using... the change-a-number-inator.

- Why have I never seen that gadget before?

- It's kind of boring. Right now, we're on page ,

but Professor Straw doesn't show up until, um,

the last page of the comic, page .

It's actually this really great scene where the whole story just comes together--

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Spoiler alert!

I haven't read the comic yet, remember?

- Sorry. We need to get to page

and we're at page now, so that means we need to do addition.

- So how many numbers do we have to add to get from to ?

- Shmumbly, do you have a number line?

- We call it a Shmumbleline,

but yes -- same dealio. (beeping)

- (Olive): Right now, we're at

and we have to get to here, .

- So there are , , ...

..., , .

So we have to add to get to .

(buzzing)

- WHOA!

- (gasping): Look, page ! It worked!

- Yeah! Wait...

But where's the professor? - Hiding behind this side table.

One move, and I'll turn you both into juice!

- NO! No, we're good guys! We're from a different world

where your world is just a comic book!

- Don't make me laugh.

Ha ha ha! ...Argh!

I'm so angry you made me laugh!

- It's true! I can prove it because I read the comic book

and I know, um, uh...

Oh! You invented that Juicetron today. And, um, uh...

Oh! Earlier this morning, you discovered Shmumberman's secret identity is--

- Don't say it! - What?

That Shmumberman is really mild-mannered Julian Buckley?

- Aw, man!

- He hasn't read the comic yet.

- Ooh, so he doesn't know about the expl*si*n

on the Shmumberville blimp that created a robot villain named Restitution?

- ♪ La la la la la la La la la la la ♪

♪ La la la la la la La la la la la ♪

- Oh... Sorry.

Anyway, you've convinced me. What can I do for you?

- We need you to build a machine to zap us back to our world

and zap Shmumberman back into the comic.

- Not a problem! In fact, I already have one.

- Seriously? - Really?

- Of course. Let me just get some Shmumbertonium

to power this puppy up.

(gasping) Oh, no!

- You're out of Shmumbertonium? - No -- carrot sticks.

I like to snack while I work. I keep my

Shmumbertonium in here...

(gasping) Oh, no!

Then I'm also out of Shmumbertonium!

Without it, I can't send you back.

- Hmm... Maybe we can get some.

- How? - Earlier in the comic,

Shmumberman goes into a Shmumbertonium factory.

- What page was it on? - Uh...

I don't remember exactly! Halfway through.

- We need another number line.

- Hey! Don't draw on it! This is a collector's edition.

- Seriously?

- (sighing): If you must.

- Right now, we're at the end of the comic --

page . And way down there

is the beginning -- page .

- Halfway is here -- page .

- So, how do we get from page

to here?

- The number is smaller than the number ,

so we want to do subtraction. So start at

and take away...,

which makes sense, because it's exactly half.

So if you add plus to get ...

- ...subtracting from

will get you again.

So...what are we doing again?

- Minus . See you soon, Professor.

- Call me Mandy. And, you know,

if you could grab me some carrot sticks too, that would be great.

(beeping) (whirring)

- (both): WHOA! (banging)

- I cannot get used to that!

Phew! Finally -- page .

- Let's get the Shmumbertonium. - There's none left.

- (both): AHH! - Dr. Soup stole it.

- Argh, that's right! Dr. Soup stole it

by disguising himself as a robot and--

- Hello! Still haven't read the comic yet.

- But...if there's no Shmumbertonium,

we can't power Professor Straw's machine and we can't

zap Shmumberman back in here... - ...or zap ourselves out!

We'll be trapped in the comic forever!

- (sighing): Welcome to my world.

- To be continued...

- Odd Squad Training Video Number :

How to Feed the Odd Squad Hamster.

- Greetings, Agents. We have many pets at Odd Squad,

but one of my favorite furry friends is this little hamster right here.

The important thing is how we feed these little guys.

Feed it too little, and this happens...

(steam hissing) Feed him to much,

and this happens. So to avoid any further

mistakes, let's review how to feed this little guy.

Every day, he eats bologna sandwiches.

This morning, he had bologna sandwiches

and this agent here is on afternoon feeding duty.

She has to figure out how many sandwiches

to feed the little guy to get him to .

If she doesn't get it right, things go bad...fast.

But how do you figure out which number goes in the blank?

It's tricky, because usually,

the blank goes after the equation after the equals sign,

but in this case it's in the middle.

But not to worry. If you can add

a number to to get it to ,

then you can subtract from to get the same number.

So let's see, minus , ,

equals....

So this agent has to feed this little guy bologna sandwiches.

One more thing to keep in mind when you feed the Odd Squad hamster

is to never, ever, under any circumstance

look it directly into the eye. If you do, you'll explode...

...then reappear.

And explode...

...and then reappear.

And then explode...and then reappear.

And...you get the idea.

- And now, the rest of the story.

- It's over.

Without Shmumbertonium, we'll never zap out of the comic

or get Shmumberman back home.

- At least Ms. O is able to keep Shmumberman going

in the real world. She has so many juice boxes she'll never run out.

I know because I just said that it seems like

she will run out now, but trust me, she'll never run out.

- Where are the juice boxes!

- My first day of running Odd Squad is not going well.

- You are not running-- - Need...

...juice! - I got this.

HI-YA!

Drink!

- Mm... Heart can't take the pulp!

- Use your teeth as a strainer, man!

(beeping and whirring)

- You saved him! - For now.

I need you to get all the available fruit up here.

- You got it, Ms. O! Or is that confusing now, because I'm a Ms. O, too?

- You are not a Ms. O!

- You're right! I should go by Mr. O. (beeping)

- Hurry, Olive and Otto!

- Argh! If only we'd gotten the Shmumbertonium

before Dr. Soup stole it! - Wait!

What if we stole it back? - Impossible.

He destroys it in his evil lair on page .

I was so upset, I had to put the comic down.

- But what if we zap to the page right before he destroys it?

Then we can steal it back! - So, right before page

would be...page !

- We're on page now. The number

is bigger than . - So that means

it's an addition problem. - To get from to ,

we add , ,

, , .

Plus ! (beeping)

- Wait! Take me with you! I've been trapped on this one comic page

my whole life.

- Mm, I don't know... - I can help you!

I have special skills. For example, I like food.

- Me too! You're in.

- That's not exactly a special skill--

- (all): WHOA!

- Whoa! So this is what daytime looks like.

- (Olive): There's the Shmumbertonium! - Halt!

- What's with everyone hiding behind side tables?

- Move aside, Dr. Soup.

- That's Dr. Soup to you.

- Didn't I say "doctor"? - SILENCE!

How dare you try to steal what I rightfully stole!

I haven't been this upset since

my sidekick Spoonboy turned against me--

- Can't... Can't hear you! Can't hear you!

Can you all just stop with the giving stuff away?

- What? - He hasn't read the comic yet.

- Really? - Yup.

- Look: I want to be really real with you

for a minute. It drives me crazy when people spoil stuff for me

and I wanted to say that I'm sorry,

from the deepest part of the soup can that is my heart.

- I appreciate that. Thanks. - You're welcome.

NOW EAT CHOWDER! - AHH!

- Wow!

- Don't hide -- I hate it when they hide!

Move to your left -- perfect!

(Odd Squad ring tone)

- Gopher Olive. - Olive, it's me.

Quit hiding behind that Queen Anne Chinoiserie lowboy table

and get that Shmumbertonium!

- OK, Ms. O. (rhythmic banging)

Um, what is that noise in the background?

- (keeping time): Squeeze! ...Squeeze!

...Squeeze! ...Squeeze!

- That would be Orrzack not drumming fast enough.

- My name is Mr. O now. - No, it's not.

- We're on it, Ms. O.

- Got another cup ready!

- Not too fast. - Mmm...

Fruit punch -- my favorite!

- Of course it's your favorite -- it's the best flavor there is.

- You know, the best part of drinking juice

isn't even the juice part;

it's the part right before you drink.

- When you imagine the juice hitting your mouth. - It's like...

- (together): Anything is possible.

- Maybe you guys aren't so different after all.

- Don't you have a drum to bang?

- Squeeze! (chirping)

- (Dr. Soup): YES! HA HA HA HA!

- I don't know what's worse -- that he's splatting

soup everywhere, or that he's terrible at rapping!

- Soup, there it is! Soup, there it is!

(cackling)

- We'll never get the Shmumbertonium!

- Olive, Otto -- you've given me such a gift

by showing me a different page of the comic.

As thanks, I will stop Dr. Soup. - How?

- By using my special skill.

- Ahh!

(swallowing aggressively)

- How... How is this possible?

- Mm... (indistinct mumbling)

- (Otto): Well, then -- I have a new hero.

(sighing with satisfaction)

- AH! You've defeated me with your incredible appetite!

(cheering)

- Nice job, partner!

- Ha ha! Thanks for the emotional support, guys! - Alright, partner.

Let's get this back to Professor Straw and use the change-a- number-inator to go home.

- Ugh! Problem: it's jammed with soup.

- Mm, butternut squash!

- But how are we supposed to get back to Professor Straw on page ?

- Maybe my special skill can help...

...again. (slurping loudly)

- Oh... - Eww...

- Ms. O, can I talk to you about our desk? - Orrzack, it is my desk.

- You're right, I should move my own furniture in here.

(groaning)

- (sighing): We've run out of fruit to squeeze.

- Really? - Well, we have pomegranates,

but no one could figure out how to open them.

- You ran out of fruit, didn't you? - No, that's ridiculous!

We have plenty of fruit, right over--

He's upset because

there's nowhere to put all the fruit. Heh heh!

- You don't like when they add sugar to the juice --

don't add sugar to the truth.

- We're running a bit low. - I just wish I could have shown you my world.

It was fruit-tastic. - Don't you talk like that!

Here's a dirty rag I used to clean up a juice spill

earlier today.

- Mm... Pineapple?

- You bet your straws. - Yeah.

- Open up these empty juiceboxes, people!

I want every last drop!

Hang on, juice boy! Hang on!

- Anything? - The best I could do was get

soup of number , number , and the plus sign.

- Argh -- but that's not enough! We're on page .

Professor Straw is all the way on page .

But what if we pressed a bunch of times to get to ?

- Will plus get us to ?

- We're on now, so we just count by s.

, , ...

- ARGH! It doesn't work! - But look -- we also have

a plus , and plus is... - (together): ...!

- Let's go. - No!

I've seen more of the comic book than I ever imagined possible.

Now that Dr. Soup is defeated,

I will stay here and turn his evil lair

into a place of peace and justice.

- Plus, I've eaten so much soup, I kind of need a nap.

- But we don't even know your name.

- That's because I don't have one.

it's just "Shmumbertonium

factory worker". - Not any more.

From now on, your name is hero.

- Hugo? I love it!

- No, no, no, I said "hero, because you were--

- It's not important. Let's go.

(beeping) (whirring)

- Hugo... Yeah!

- Whoa! - Where are you, Shmumberman?

- Don't worry, Commissioner --

we're getting him back. - Page !

Keep pushing! (beeping and whirring)

- I'll just... I'll just be here, then.

(humming tunelessly)

- Hit it again!

Hit it again! (beeping and whirring)

- Whoa! (Carribean music playing)

- What is this? - Oh... That's right.

It's an advertisement for juice boxes.

- Meh... I preferred the robot fight.

- Alright, page . So to get to page ,

I just have to press plus !

- Whoa!

- Yeah! Nice. - We made it! Page !

Wahoo! - So...no carrot sticks?

Oh, never mind. Let's just do this Shmumbertonium thing.

- There's...no juice left. (Shmumberman groaning)

(dinging)

- Don't worry, here comes backup.

(whirring) - Juicetron !

- By the power of Shmumber!

You must be Olive and Otto. Thanks for your help.

- He knows our names!

- And thank you to, Ms. O. - Glad to have you back, juice boy.

- So, you guys seem to be getting along.

- Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a comic book to get back to...

...with my sidekick.

- What? - Told you I wanted to show you my world. Would you

do me the honor? - Under one condition: you are the sidekick.

- Deal.

(clucking)

- Whoa! Ms. O and Shmumberman

just stopped a runaway train with pineapple juice.

- ARGH! Stop talking! I haven't read it yet. - OLIVE!

OTTO! IN MY OFFICE -- NOW!

- We don't have to pay attention to him, do we?

- Nope. - That's cool. Just...

...get up here whenever you have a chance.

Anybody got a key to this?

- I joined because your shadow should look like you,

not a kangaroo.

- I joined because you should sit on chairs,

they shouldn't sit on you.

- I joined because when you throw something away,

it should stay away.

(spitting sound) (sighing)

- 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.

- My name is Oscar. I work in the Odd Squad lab,

and I build gadgets to help with cases.

- (Ms. O): OSCAR! - Sorry!

But I'm not all about gadgets. This white coat has seen some dirt.

- (together): Uh, , , uh...

- Now, do I make mistakes? Yes.

The question is, do I make the same mistakes twice?

Yes. Sometimes times in a row.

- You cloned yourself? - No! What am I, crazy? They're robots.

One of my favorite days at Odd Squad was when I ran a top-secret mission with Ms. O.

- Prepare the canoe -- the big one.

- The brain helmets are in place!

- Thanks for your help. - I did what had to be done.

Uh, I guess I shouldn't really be talking about this.

Guess that's mistakes.
