02x05 - Flawed Squad/The Creature Whisperer

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad.

The villains have teamed up and we're taking over.

How dare you break in here.

OTIS: Where'd they go?

I don't know.

But we will find them.

OLYMPIA: My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner, Agent Otis.

This is worth a bird in the hand.

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.

(♪♪♪)

(Makes siren sounds)

Hurry Olympia.

I'm coming Ms. O.

(♪♪♪)

OLYMPIA: Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Sir, I heard you had an odd problem.

Sir, I heard you had an odd problem.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Sounds like a case of copy-itis.

No. I'm just rude. I'm a rude person.

Oh, so you called Odd Squad?

I want to be a nicer person,

but I don't know what to do.

Not to worry sir. We have a nice-inator gadget.

Wow. Thank you so much.

You are so kind.

And I love your suits.

Have a great day.

You have a great day, each. One each.

I never heard of a nice-inator.

No such thing. This is a flashlight.

He had the power to be nice in him all along.

Happy day everyone.

Lovely earrings if you don't mind me saying.

Hey you, you've got a great shirt, don't you?

Hey. Life.

What is next?

Partner. Do you hear that?

(Loud engine)

Whoa.

(Laughing)

We're back.

This is not a drill.

That's right, Odd Squad.

The villains have teamed up and we're taking over.

How dare you break in here.

And six of you?

I've got hundreds of agents.

We can bring the heat.

Not if you're frozen.

Father Time.

Tick tock. Time tolls for me.

(All laugh)

And now we cover them all in jam.

(Laughs)

What?

That was the plan, right?

We break in and then we cover them with jam.

No.

We flatten them with my glasses.

Hello. That's what we do.

No. We make them all make silly noises.

I'm the Shapeshifter.

I'll shape shift one kid

into each of your things.

I don't want to cover one kid in jam,

I want to cover them all in jam.

(All arguing)

They're going to unfreeze.

What do you mean unfreeze?

I can only freeze time for one minute.

So then just do it again.

I only get one blast an hour.

Then what? Now you're just a guy?

Still have a beard and this cool stick.

Evil Mime, I do not need that from you.

Not today.

They're starting to move.

Everyone hide.

Quick.

(All sigh)

Where'd they go?

I don't know. But we will find them.

I mean, maybe.

This is a pretty big place.

Think positive, people.

We have to get out of here.

No way.

Do you know how long it took to plan this?

This is the only day that works for everyone.

Unless next Saturday.

I go to the museum with my nephews on Saturday.

It's just something I have.

I could fend them off with my cool stick.

Stop. Just stop.

We need to take a vote.

What?

What's a vote?

Everyone writes down on a piece of paper

what they want to do to the Odd Squad agents.

Everyone gets one vote.

Then we count the votes

and the idea with the most votes

is what we go with.

(Laughs)

(All agreeing)

(Shushes)

Evil Mime is right.

There's an arts and craft door down one of the hallways.

We'll get pen and paper in there.

How do we get there?

Get down. Watch the hair.

I got this.

Attention agents.

I saw the villains go that way.

Come on, guys. Come on.

Okay villains. Put your arts and crafts down.

Everyone voted, and I made a bar graph.

I made a bird.

I made a bar graph

to easily see the results.

All of us are along the bottom.

And the number of votes goes up the side.

But all the little bars are the same size.

Who won?

Nobody won.

Everyone used their one vote to vote for themselves.

One vote, one vote, one vote.

It's a six way tie.

You voted for yourself too.

Because my idea is the best idea.

We need to take another vote.

Only this time you can't vote for yourself.

You can put your votes in this box.

Cube!

What are you doing?

Hey, I've got one rule: No cubes.

I texted you all this.

(Everyone arguing)

Ugh, what about team work?

They're in there.

It's locked. On three.

One, two, three.

BOTH: Come on villains, we know you're in there.

They've found us.

Quick, turn into Ms. O and get rid of them.

I can only turn into the same person or thing

once per week.

Who's just a guy now?

So change into another agent.

Give it up villains.

No villains in there. Just me, Olympia.

She's Olympia.

Why'd I pick you to turn into?

(Groans)

Come on out Villains. All of you.

Come on. Hurry up.

Keep it moving. Don't have all day here people.

Party's over. Go.

What are you going? Think fast.

(All screaming)

Why did we take these?

They looked expensive.

There's a chalkboard room this way.

We can use it to do another vote.

(Harpsichord)

Could you sneak a little more quietly?

Absolutely.

(Harpsichord)

(All shush)

I know. I'm a heavy breather.

Or it could be the instruments

you have all over your body.

These?

(All shush)

I can't shush. This is who I am.

But I can see how I'm not helping the mission.

I shall go.

Wait. You're right.

Although I may not be the strongest member of the team,

we are still a team.

And teams stick together.

Oh, no. You should totally go.

But maybe you could be the distraction.

Good plan.

All right.

I go.

(Sighs)

Go, go, go.

Hey Odd Squad. Over here.

♪ (Dramatic music)

(♪♪♪)

♪ (Dramatic music)

(♪♪♪)

(Discordant sounds)

♪ (Dramatic music)

Gotcha.

But I was beautiful, wasn't I?

Meh.

All right everybody.

I have a new bar graph showing the winner.

Everyone has voted,

and the evil plan with the most votes

is "make silly noises."

(All cheer)

Not a bad idea.

It's really the only way to honor the Noisemaker.

But Noisemaker is not here to actually do the plan.

That's not true.

He's right here, in our hearts.

SHAPESHIFTER: I'm saying it doesn't work

because none of us have instruments.

ALL: Oh...

(Grunts) This is a disaster.

We've been trapped in headquarters for an hour

and got nowhere.

It's been one hour.

I can use my staff again.

Nice.

Now we can flatten them.

No. Jam.

(All arguing)

Stop it!

We'll all just go out there and do our own thing.

Yes, Evil Mime.

That is like voting for ourselves again.

Some may say that we have given up on teamwork,

but I would say

we have learned a valuable lesson

about thinking for ourselves.

(All laugh)

Also, I just really want to get out of here.

We'll start with you.

On three.

Ooh, sorry, can we go on five?

Ten?

Where are these villains?

Right here, Ms. O.

Father Time do your thing.

Stick twirling. It's my thing.

The other thing. You know, stop time.

I'll do it myself.

No. Wait.

It's pointing the wrong way.

That was easier than I thought.

Let's get the cleanup crew out here.

(♪♪♪)

(♪♪♪)

Welcome to the break room part three.

Welcome to the break room.

My name is Oksana and this is where agents come

to enjoy the food I make.

Here at Odd Squad,

agents can order whatever they want.

Yesterday that meant I had to make

one thousand different meals, and my hands made this noise.

(Screaming)

Not to worry.

After I showed Ms. O my hands, she called the doctor.

And then she said I could pick three different foods.

Whichever food got the most votes

was what I would make.

After I organized the results into a bar graph.

Here on the bottom are the three different foods

people could vote for.

Spaghetti sandwiches, spaghetti salad,

and spaghetti with spaghetti.

I have a lot of spaghetti I'm trying to get rid of.

Along the side are the number of people who voted.

The taller the bar, the more votes something got.

Spaghetti sandwiches got four hundred votes.

Spaghetti salad got one hundred votes.

Spaghetti with spaghetti got five hundred votes.

Spaghetti with spaghetti is clearly the winner.

Not only because it has the tallest bar,

but because it's simple and delicious.

Fun fact about me.

In all the years I've worked here

I've never dropped a plate.

I just drop the b*at.

(♪♪♪)

When I say odd, you say squad.

Odd.

It works better when there's someone here.

Thanks for coming Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, Ma'am?

It's in here.

Whoa. Where's all the color?

Maybe this is a sign that you're bored with your job.

Your job should be exciting,

something you can't wait to start every day.

Nope. That's not it.

Your color-stat is set to black and white.

Thanks Odd Squad.

I love my job,

I just hate being stuck behind a desk all day.

Easy. Just flip this thing.

All right.

Happy to help. Have a great day.

Thanks.

Okay...

The trick with this is to focus.

Try not to get distracted.

Go for the gold and bam.

Before you know it you're on the second floor.

Oona, did you just teach us how to use the stairs?

Yup.

I thought you were going to teach us

how to use the face-replace-inator.

Oh, that's easy.

Just push here and it'll give you a grandma face.

How is that useful?

I don't use them, I just make them.

Go wolf pack.

Hey, Ocean. How's it going?

OCEAN: The worst. Terrible actually.

Whoa. What happened?

I let a wild and dangerous creature loose

in headquarters.

How can you be so calm?

That's just on the outside. On the inside I'm all like...

(Monotone grunt)

Anyway, nice working here while it lasted.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

We're on the same team, right?

Maybe we can help you catch it. How hard could it be?

Let me show you.

Whoa!

OCEAN: These critters are called Hopinbobs.

One of them got out.

They're fast. Crazy hard to catch.

You have Olympia and Otis to help you out.

Ms. O doesn't even have to find out.

I found out.

Ms. O, I can explain.

There's no time. The Big O is coming.

Who? The big O is my boss.

If he sees a creature running around in here

I'll lose my job.

Olympia, Ocean, catch that creature

while Otis and I stall The Big O.

Dr. O.

Yes Ma'am?

You're on in this story.

Copy that.

Let's move people.

OLYMPIA: Ocean, stay positive.

That's the key, don't worry.

Okay, those stairs are a little tricky.

Hey, creature guy. You owe me lunch.

One of your creatures ate mine.

Normally I'd be upset,

but look at this cool watch thing that I have now.

Here's me about to eat some pizza

when this thing comes along.

Freeze.

Anyway, cool watch aside

you owe me a slice of pizza Mr. Pond.

It's Ocean.

I'm not good with bodies of water.

Wait.

The Hopinbob used to have one triangle on its belly,

now there are two.

Dude, you're right.

It changed after it ate that slice.

OLYMPIA: The pizza was triangle shaped.

Maybe when it had one triangle in its belly

it was going after one triangle.

Now there are two.

Maybe it'll go after two triangles.

Makes sense to me.

Where are there two triangles?

Dude, we should go to the Odd Squad jazz room.

Yes. There are two triangle players there.

So I just missed lunch now?

I'm kind of nervous.

I've never met Big O before.

All clear.

Greetings, Odd Squad.

It's marvelous to be here.

I cannot wait to see your glorious headquarters.

Otis...

You need to stop him from going inside.

Me? I thought we were doing this together.

I believe in you.

Before the tour,

I have something I'd like to show you.

(♪♪♪)

♪ Eggs, all I really want is eggs. ♪

♪ Mix some mayo in my eggs Mayo eggs! ♪

♪ Now put it on some bread ♪

♪ You heard what Delivery Doug said ♪

Alright, everybody, from the top.

(♪♪♪)

Stop the music.

Whoa. We're trying to make music here.

You're in great danger.

Yeah, there's a creature coming

and it's going to eat those two triangles.

Here it comes.

And there she goes.

You're lucky I like starting from the top.

Impress me.

(♪♪♪)

Weren't those guys good?

Are you seriously thinking about them right now?

We have a mission let's go.

GIRL: Hey creature guy.

One of your critters ate a painting

I was trying to appreciate.

I was this close to seeing

how beautifully abstract life really is.

Then poof. It was gone.

Wait, it ate a square?

I thought it was after triangles.

(♪♪♪)

My badge phone. Watch guys.

I do a new cool thing when I answer my phone.

Oh-to-the-lymp-to-the-ia. I'm losing it.

You think?

Have you found the creature?

Not even close.

MISS O: Hurry up.

Otis has moved on to weird folk dances.

(♪♪♪)

Let's go.

Guess I'll have to paint another painting.

(♪♪♪)

Enough.

Ms. O, are you stalling?

Stalling? What? Why would you-

(Laughs)

(Both laugh)

(Laughter grows strained)

(Very strained laughter)

Let's start in my office.

Owen can you bring up the security footage

from outside the art room?

The creature struck again.

Oh sure.

Why don't I make you a three course meal while I'm at it.

Owen. This is amazing.

Thanks. I love cooking.

I don't know why I waste my time ordering pizza.

Oh, and I found your creature.

OLYMPIA: Now it has three triangles on its belly.

Yup.

And after that it ate Coach O's

favorite home plate from his room.

Now he has four triangles on his belly.

But it's not going after triangles.

This makes no sense.

OWEN: You know what does make sense?

This cheese.

It'll blow your mind.

Owen. You're brilliant.

Thanks.

A cheese course is very under appreciated.

Not that. Look, the cheese.

Two triangles make a square.

So when it ate a square it was still eating two triangles.

You're right.

This cheese is blowing my mind.

But that still doesn't explain why it ate the home plate.

Yes it does.

The home plate was a pentagon.

It has five sides.

Three triangles, five sides.

Boom. Pentagon.

Cool!

Owen, what's the last image you have of this creature?

This one.

One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight triangles.

It's headed for a shape

that can be made with eight triangles.

Let's see, what can we do with eight triangles.

This isn't working.

I'm just riffin'

but what if all the points

met up in the middle.

Eight triangles, eight sides.

That's an octagon.

Uh oh.

Ms. O's symbol is an octagon.

It must be headed for her office.

Ms. O.

The Hopinbob is headed for your office.

But The Big O is inside.

Otis is distracting him with a magic trick.

(♪♪♪)

Tada. Wait.

Isn't the magician supposed to be the one inside the box?

I have an idea.

We use Oona's face-replace-inator

to start over with new lives.

It'll be a little weird

because we'll all have grandma faces,

but people respect their elders, right?

Yeah. Huh?

No. I caused this problem.

I'll fix this.

Everybody.

There's a dangerous creature coming.

Otis, hold this tambourine.

Ms. O, hold this hair dryer.

And Olympia, hold this mop.

You might want to move back...

Wait. What is all this stuff for?

To keep your mind off the danger.

Here she comes!

(All screaming)

(Makes squawking sounds)

(Squawks)

That's it. Now we're dancing.

These are my hands.

They represent fear.

Yours and mine.

Tell your fear.

It's nap time.

(Yawns)

Shh...

Shh...

Now, let's get you back home.

A Hopinbob? Loose in headquarters?

I can explain.

Oh, I get.

First, the weird dancing.

Then the magic trick.

Now letting a creature loose?

You're trying to make me break

and admit that I'm not the real Big O.

Wait, you're not the real Big O?

You're right. It's not me.

It's him.

I'm impressed Oprah.

It seems your smarter than they thought.

You may run your Odd Squad another day

or two or five.

I can't get higher than five.

I'm leaving.

Hooray. We did it.

Olympia?

I may have accidentally zapped myself

with Oona's gadget.

On the plus side I can finally get

the seniors' discount at the diner.

(♪♪♪)

(♪♪♪)

Howdy doo agents.

Just like Oscar has Oscarbots

I have Oonabots.

But sometimes these robots don't work properly.

For instance when this robot opens her mouth,

she sounds like a busy cafeteria.

(Crowd sounds)

Let's have a look-see at what might be wrong.

Ah ha. There's the problem.

The trapezoid circuit board is fried.

A trapezoid is a four sided shape.

One, two, three, four.

That has one pair of straight sides.

And now I need to replace it.

No trapezoids.

That's okay because I can combine shapes.

Like this square and these two triangles.

Or four triangles.

Or two small rectangles and two triangles.

No cafeteria noise.

Good as new.

But what happens when one of your Oonabots

becomes smarter than you, takes over your life,

while the actual real Oona is out getting lunch.

What's going on in here?

My name's Ocean.

I run the creature room here at Odd Squad,

and I'm about this tall.

Oh, you can see me?

Cool.

That saves a bunch of time.

My hardest day here

I guess was when I started floating.

There. Help.

I do not like being out of control.

That wasn't me.

Oh, I know.

The hardest day here

was when I fought the spaghetti monster.

(Both yell)

Aw, man.

That's two people that weren't me.

I got it.

My hardest day here

was when I tamed a wild creature.

(Shushing)

I'm good, aren't I?

Welcome to Odd Squad a guide to your gadgets.

Behold the Flower-inator.

What better way to say, "I love you"

than with the gift of a gadget that makes flowers.

It can make flowers like this,

or this, or this, or this, or this.

But not these.

When the gadget gets some down time

it likes to listen to polka music.

Even though the flowers smell nice,

the gadget itself smells horrible.

This has been a helpful guide to the Flower-inator.

Remember, knowledge is power.

Power is gadgets, and gadgets is power.
