02x04 - The O Team/Show Me the Money

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

We just solved our th case.

and you win a pizza party for the entire squad.

We need to make sure Otis and Olympia solve that case.

OLYMPIA: My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner, Agent Otis.

This is a polar bear in a snow storm.

But back to Otis 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.

Ah!



(makes siren noise)



Hurry, Olympia!

I'm coming, Ms. O!



OLYMPIA: Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, Mr. Fonts?

Well, every time I open a book

this happens.

No, no, come back! No!

That's been happening all day.

Just look at all these blank pages.

I'm running a business.

Well, on the side.

But still, I care about the library.

Not a problem, we have a gadget.

Hang on, partner.

Mr. Fonts, you always said you wanted to write a novel.

Maybe this is your chance.

You're right!

Thanks, Odd Squad.

Happy to help, or not help.

Either way, good luck.

(loud zaps)

(whispering) You can do it, you can do it, you can do it.

You can do it, you can do it. You can do it, you can do it.

Dustin, please!

If I'm going to accomplish this,

I'm going to need you to show a lot more enthusiasm.

Yeah! You can do it, you can do it!

Go with the words, the words are my favorite part.

I'm in the zone!

DUSTIN: There's a plot twist in the title!

I'm gonna make you into a movie.

Sell out.

(bleats)

(shouts) There you two are!

You just solved your th case this week!

Then why are you yelling?

Sorry, am I yelling?

I was wearing earplugs and couldn't hear myself.

What was I saying?

We just solved our th case.

Really? Congrats.

You know, if you solve just one more, that's cases.

And you win a pizza party for the entire squad.

Pizza in the hizz-house.

I enjoy pizza very much.

Except for the cheese part.

The sauce part.

And the crust part.

What part do you like?

The box.

And the little plastic thingies in the middle

that look like tables.

Makes me feel like a giant.

(shouts) There's oddness down in the bakery!

Now I'm yelling because I really want

that pizza party to happen.

Ohio, we need to make sure

Otis and Olympia solve that case.

But, don't they need to solve it on their own

for it to count?

Of course, they're the agents.

We're just lending a helping hand.

A hand they won't ever see.

Whoosh, ghost hand.

Owen, I can still see you.

Which means they can still see us.

Not if we ride in the ice cream surveillance truck.

I already got a driver.

Just need to clean him up.

(giggles)

(soft music playing)

Not so close, Orson. Park it here.

(shuts off engine)

Let's listen in.

(beep)

WOMAN: I don't know who's doing it,

but half of everything is missing.

Look at my cheesecakes, and my cookies.

Even half of the clock is missing.

What kind of crook would take half of stuff,

and not the whole thing?

Halfsie Harriet! (snaps)

She's always taking half of everything.

Bam, you see that Ohio?

They already solved it.

I don't think that they're right.

Pretty brave talk, coming from the new guy.

I started one day after you.

Exactly, rookie.

Well, if Halfsie Harriet likes taking half of everything

why didn't she take half of that plant?

What? Zoom in.

(whirring)

Judging by your eyebrows,

I can see you're just as confused as I am.

What do you mean, my eyebrows?

When you're confused, they go up.

Like, in a bad way?

No, no, no, in a good way.

Cool, I was afraid I'd have to shave them off.

So, what are we thinking here?

I was thinking, maybe the objects

with half missing (beep)

are all symmetrical.

When an object has symmetry,

one half is exactly the same as the other half.

OWEN: But the plant isn't symmetrical.

This side is different from this side.

That's why it was left alone.

I bet Symmetric Al did it.

Uh oh!

Otis and Olympia are about to go and get the wrong villain.

OHIO: And we can't tell them they're wrong,

because of the ghost hand.

I have an idea.

It's not a good idea, but it's an idea.

Thanks Odd Squad.

BOTH: Happy to help.

Trick or treat!

Uh... It's not Halloween.

I'm here early, or late.

However you want to look at it.

(laughs)

I'm sorry, I don't have any candy.

I could take that plant instead.

For Halloween?

Shush, yeah, look at this thing.

Look at the whole thing.

Wait a minute,

half of that plant isn't missing.

OLYMPIA: You're right.

You know, now that I look around

the only things with halves missing

are symmetrical objects.

Halfsie Harriet didn't do this, Symmetric Al did.

Let's move.

Don't worry, it was me all along.

I don't know you, though.

We've never met.

(horn honks)

Come on man, we gotta move!

Is that a baby driving?

(soft music playing)

Think fast!

(soft music playing)

(baby cries in distance)

What are we even doing here?

Well, the only person that knows where Symmetric Al lives,

is Baby Genius.

Oh, so we need to talk to Baby Genius

before Olympia and Otis do so everything goes smoothly.

Uh-huh.

Ghost hand.

(cat meows angrily) (clatter)

What was that?

(both scream)

Hello.

Rivka, we need to talk to Baby Genius.

Baby Genius is on a play date.

Are you kidding me right now?

We'll never get that pizza party.

Did you say pizza?

I love pizza.

Help us find Symmetric Al

and we'll give you all the pizza that you want.

Can you fold it in half and make it into a calzone?

No. Yes.

Alright, fine, we'll do it.

I remember Baby Genius

saying that Symmetric Al

lives in a pink house.

Okay, this is good, it's good.

I mean, how many pink houses could there be in town?

(beeping)

Are you kidding me again right now?

Look at all these houses.

(beeping)

Ugh, bye bye Calzone.

Hang on.

Symmetric Al likes symmetrical things.

Maybe he lives on a street with a symmetrical number.

Number two, or nd Street isn't symmetrical

because the two sides don't match.

Same as three and four.

But look at number eight.

It's symmetrical.

OHIO: You're right.

This side is exactly the same as this side.

Symmetric Al lives in the pink house on th Street.

(distant voices approaching)

That was Otis and Olympia.

But, how do I get this info to them without Baby Genius here?

I have another idea.

And it's way worse than the first one.

Good afternoon, your excellency.

We were hoping Baby Genius

can tell us where Symmetric Al lives.

(clatter)

(whispering) Ow, watch your elbow.

I'm trying to write down Al's address.

So maybe you could give me a little room to work with here?

Stop being a baby.

We're in a baby carriage.

Thank you, Baby Genius.

Thank you.

You owe me so many calzones.

(loud clatter)

(both groan)

And a new carriage. Oh, my back!

BOTH: Odd Squad! Open up Symmetric Al.

We know you're in there.

You're not Symmetric Al.

Are you selling cookies?

No, we're from Odd Squad. We investigate odd behavior.

How does Al not live there?

I can tell you're upset

by the way you're scrunching your chin.

Scrunching in a bad way?

I have seen nicer things.

Why don't you focus less on my chin

and more on the mission?

Oh, so now it's my fault?

(cries)

Oh, now you made agent Orson upset?

He's your - your responsibility!

Well, we were supposed to do this together.

(inaudible arguing and baby crying)

Hey, Otis.

Is that the Odd Squad ice cream surveillance truck?

OWEN: You saw me, I have a driver's license.

What! You guys?

What are you two doing here?

Serving ice cream.

In fairness, it was a ghost hand thing

with a lot of whooshing.

What are you talking about?

Come inside, we'll show you.

Eight is the only symmetrical number.

No, three is symmetrical, too.

ALL: What?

OLYMPIA: This side isn't the same is this side.

If you change the line of symmetry to be horizontal,

it is.

OWEN: They look the same.

So Symmetric Al, lives at the pink house on rd Street.

(tense music)

ALL: Odd Squad! Stop right there!

Man, busted.

Al, we need you to fix everything at the bakery.

Yeah, yeah.

And the amusement park,

and the mall, and the arcade.

Yes, all that stuff,

we also totally knew about, yeah.

We solved our th case!

(all cheer)

Pizza party!

Great job, Oona.

We helped Owen and Ohio

and nobody even knew we were here.

Ha! Whoosh.

Nice work, we helped Oscar and Oona,

and no one even knew we were here.

Whoosh.

Nice work, we helped Dr. O,

and nobody even knew we were here.

Whoosh.

Hey, what's that camera do?

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody there?

Hello? Whoosh.



OSCAR: Welcome to Headquarters: The Pools.

Greetings, agents.

Got time between cases?

Why not head down to one of the many Odd Squad pools.

We have pools filled with water, like this one,

but also ice cream...

fuzzy dice...

...and even chairs.

But no diving in that one.

Seriously. It really hurts.

I've been there.

Whichever pool you choose,

it's easy to find your way around,

because each pool is completely symmetrical.

You can tell the pool I'm standing in

is symmetrical because this half

is the same as this half.

See?

Same and same...

And same again.

The pools were designed by

famous Odd Squad architect, Dr. Ossington...

who himself was symmetrical,

as his top half was the exact same as his bottom half.

Oh, you should've seen him swim.

It was really weird.

It was kind of like this,

and like that,

and like...

(gibberish noises)

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, ma'am? A couple of things.

First, my briefcase is enormous...

My car turned into a rainbow...

The only good thing is

I finally found a wedding dress I love!

Except... I'm not getting married to anyone.

Oh, I see what's happening.

You're dreaming. Wait, this is all a dream?

Yup. Thanks for including us in it.

If you wanna fix this, all you have to do is wake up.

Oh yeah.

I will! Thanks, Odd Squad.

Wait, can I fly first?

Hey, it's your dream.

(jet engine sound)

Wait, if it's her dream, then why are we still here?

Oh, it's actually your dream.

Oh.

(grunts)

(jet engine sound)

Wait - if it's his dream, then why am I...

Oh!

(grunts)

(jet engine sound)

Okay, guys, so there's one large pizza.

You guys need anything else, like a little... edible map?

You could - You don't want that.

Oh, googly glasses.

These. Also, a calculator.

No, no... I also have gum.

Ooh, I'll take some gum. 'Kay.

Gum?

Ugh.

You don't like gum?

Of course not.

If you're going to chew something,

it should be something useful, like food.

I would not buy gum

if it meant saving the world.

Sometimes you remind me of an old, upset man.

So...

That is a large pizza, and that's a gum.

That comes to ten dollars and five cents.

Here's a ten dollar bill, but I don't have five cents.

That's okay. It's just a nickel. Don't worry about it.

No, I insist.

Wait - I saw some coins in the lab.

Seems like a weird way to store coins.

It's just Oscar and Oona being fancy.

OLYMPIA: That's a quarter. That's cents.

OTIS: That's a dime. That's ten cents.

OLYMPIA: And that's a penny. That's only one cent.

Here's a nickel. Five cents.

Ten dollars and five cents.

Thank you, Odd Squad.

Should we have asked before we borrowed money?

It's Oscar and Oona.

They won't care if we take a nickel.

You took a nickel?!

Uh, yeah...

We gave it to Delivery Debbie

to buy pizza.

That's okay. You didn't know. (laugh)

Everyone makes... mistakes!

Hey, calm down. We'll pay you back.

It's not.. about... the money!

These are unlucky coins!

What?

Here, hold this...

Now this.

(shriek)

See? Unlucky!

I'm sorry, but this is a little your fault, too.

Yeah, I mean, you just left these coins out in plain sight.

You could've at least had, like, a cage with lasers.

Like this one? OLYMPIA: That would have been helpful, yes.

Yeah.

You need to find that coin

and put it in here before it's too late.

You mean like too late, or mirrors will keep breaking?

Or a meteor will collapse into the Earth,

split our planet in half,

and cause us all to fly into outer space.

Okay... We're leaving now. Yeah.

There she is!

Oh hey, you guys.

I'm having the worst day.

I crashed my bike,

and then I fell down a chimney, and then I lost my shoe,

and then a falcon swooped down

and stole my pizza -

Which doesn't even make sense because it's not falcon season.

This is our fault. What?

We accidentally gave you an unlucky nickel...

Wait, why isn't anything unlucky happening to you right now?

Hold that, please, Debbie.

OLYMPIA: It didn't break.

Is it possible you gave the coin to someone else?

Sure, I've been giving customers change all day.

We'll never find it now!

No, we can, because I keep a list of all the people

that I gave change to in my pocket.

My pocket fell off. It's over there.

See?

I gave a bunch of people cents change.

They can't have the nickel, because cents is a quarter.

Not necessarily. Pass me my other pocket.

You see,

you can combine different coins to make different totals.

So a nickel - that's five cents, right?

So you can use five nickels to make twenty-five cents,

or two dimes and a nickel,

or pennies.

So any of your customers could have it.

We should split up.

Debbie, we'll find a way to make this up to you.

I promise.

A song would be nice.

What kind? A jazz fusion song.

Can we put it in the montage

of us searching for the unlucky coin?

Absolutely!

♪ (jazz fusion)

♪ (jazz fusion)

♪ (jazz fusion)

No nickel.

♪ (jazz fusion)

♪ (jazz fusion)

(sigh) No nickel.

♪ (jazz fusion)

♪ (jazz fusion)

Not a nickel.

♪ (jazz fusion)

Debbie said the last time she gave change

was to some Junior Girl Troopers.

I think we found it.

There's the troop leader.

Odd Squad!

Something... odd is happening.

Um, usually my girls are safe and careful,

but it has just been disaster after disaster!

We think your troop has come in contact with an unlucky coin.

It escaped from our lab this morning.

You accidentally gave it away, didn't you?

How did you -

"Reading Between the Lines" badge.

If we could just search the area... By all means.

I'll be over here,

helping the girls earn their gum-chewing badge.

I'm kinda the expert.

(shudder)

Otis, look.

I can't... It's so wet and rubbery.

Not the gum! The mirror!

It isn't breaking.

So the coin can't be here any more.

(gasp)

Oh my kerchief!

Troop Leader Betsy must have it!

We sold cookies today,

and Betsy was taking all that money to the bank!

If it goes to the bank,

it'll get mixed in with tons of other coins.

We'll never get it back!

Do you know which bank?

No, but I have an idea...

Molly!

Ho!

Molly just got her tracking badge.

This is Troop Leader Betsy's vest.

Get the scent, girl. You've got the scent, girl?

You've got it? Got it!

Well?

Follow her!

Okay, girls, make a shelter!

She's close... (sniff) There!

(birds screeching)

Oh, Molly, Odd Squad...

I have had the worst day!

I got chased by a falcon.

It's not even falcon season!

Ma'am, this is going to sound strange,

but we need to search your change purse.

Okay.

Dime, quarter.

another dime...

No nickel.

Did you buy anything on the way to the bank?

Oh, just some pretzels from that vending machine over there.

♪ (foreboding music)

Uh, I have a feeling the coin is inside.

Is it because of the lightning and the scary noises?

Yeah, that was it.

(loud thunder)

I refuse to be beaten!

I eat bad luck for breakfast!

(loud thunder)

It won't open!

Buy a snack! Good idea!

Something healthy to give us energy!

No, I mean something that'll give you the nickel as change!

I have three quarters, so that's ,

, cents.

And you have one more, so that's one dollar.

(falcons screeching)

The falcons are coming! I'll hold them back.

Shields up!

(loud w*r cry)

(screeching)

If I want change,

I need to buy something that costs less than one dollar

so the machine has to give me money back.

(thunder)

A granola bar is cents.

Twenty-five cents, fifty cents,

seventy-five cents...

One dollar.

(thunder)

Thirty cents change!

Argh! Three dimes!

You need to buy something that gives you back

one nickel in change!

I realize that now!

Okay, I have three dimes,

so that's ten, twenty, thirty cents.

If I want the machine to give me five cents back,

I need to buy something that costs five cents

less than thirty cents.

Twenty-nine, twenty-eight,

twenty-seven, twenty-six...

Twenty-five cents. Twenty-five cents...

What costs twenty-five cents?

Nooo!

Not the gum!

(loud thunderclap)

Bad luck is getting worse!

Hurry, Otis, or the world will end!

But gum goes against everything I stand for!

Seriously?!

Argh!

Ten cents!

Twenty cents!

Thirty cents!

The nickel!

Olympia!

(triumphant music)

(angelic choir)

The falcons are gone.

Nice job, partner.

Partner?

I never knew about the blowing bubbles part.

Now I get it.

We have to get this back to headquarters

before anything else happens.

Which way is it?

I smell the way. Follow me!



OONA: Odd Squad Training Video Number -

♪ How to Use the Anything- Within-Reason-Machine. ♪

Howdy do, agents.

This is the Anything- Within-Reason-Machine,

and it works like this...

(whirring)

I'd like a diamond the size as my fist.

Aha, nothing happened.

That's because my request wasn't within reason.

I'd like an apple the size of my fist.

(whirring)

Mmm. Tastes like diamonds.

The machine costs one dollar to use.

But what happens when you don't have one dollar bill?

No problem.

You can add different coins together

to equal cents, or one dollar.

A quarter, the biggest coin,

equals cents.

So you need four of them to make one dollar.

A dime, the smallest coin, is worth cents,

so you need of them to make one dollar.

Nickels are worth five cents,

so you need of them to make one dollar.

Pennies are worth one cent,

so it takes of them

to make cents or one dollar.

But what happens when you're down to your last dollar?

Watch this.

(whirring)

One dollar.

Another dollar -

which you can then use to make another dollar.

One dollar.

As you can see,

I'm now stuck in an endless loop that I can never escape from.

So, until next time...

(whirring)

One dollar.

Another dollar!



Uh, my name is Delivery Debbie,

and I contacted Odd Squad

because I was doubling myself.

(screams)

Yeah, Odd Squad - they solved my problem,

and they actually showed me that doubling

is a good thing.

And, um, I can use my doubles

to help, you know, run my pizza business, so...

♪ Delivery Debbies, we're four of a kind ♪

I mean, they have their weird quirks,

like, they travel around on these weird tube thingies.



They use badges as phones...

- Hello? - Go for Oprah.

Olympia's new way of picking up the phone,

Olympia speaking.

Odd Squad helped me, and they can help you.

Call today.

Or...email.

You could text.

Send a letter? Can they...?

Send a letter.

Um...I don't know how I got in touch with them.

I don't remember at all.
