02x09 - Happy Halfaversary/Good Egg Bad Egg

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad...

Are you excited for your Halfiversary?

Say who with the what now? What'd you get her?

I didn't even know this existed until you told me.

Pa-chow! (Growl)

What's happening?

My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner, Agent Otis.

This is the world through rose-colored glasses.

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.



♪♪

Hurry, Olympia!

I'm coming, Ms. O!

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Don't worry, sir.

We'll fix your case of the backwards.

There are two agents waiting for you in the interrogation room.

You can take the slide if you want.

Something new...

"To a world-class partner.

High-fives and fist-bumps, Olympia."

Huh. It's not my birthday.

Are you excited for your Halfiversary?

Halfi-what? Halfiversary.

I'll show you.

Hand!

There are months in a year.

You celebrate an anniversary after a full year goes by.

But half of twelve months is six months,

which is how long you and Olympia

have been partners as of today--

making this your Halfiversary.

Hence the present.

I bet Olympia's such a good gift-giver.

What'd you get her? Nothing.

I didn't even know this existed until you told me.

But it's on the Agent's Training Manual.

I never read mine.

Ah yes, we all remember

when you set up the photocopier.

PHOTOCOPIER: Duplicate! Duplicate! Duplicate!

I'm sure Olympia won't care you didn't get her a present.

I need to get something! It'll break her heart!

What if I got her socks?

Socks? They're like gloves for your feet.

I know what socks are! And no way.

Halfiversary presents need to be personal.

What do you know about Olympia?

She has feet.

And...?

Um...

(Sigh) We're going through her stuff.

Secrets, secrets, secrets...

Secret-- Ooh, what's this?

Oh, Olympia likes to collect villain autographs.

She's been working on it all year.

The only one she's missing

is Mr. Lightning.

Does that give you a good present idea?

Are we back on socks?

No, you get Mr. Lightning's autograph!

She'd love that!

But what if Olympia comes back?

I'll distract her.

It'll be like we're an undercover team,

and we can have code names.

Like, I'll be Carol, and you'll be Karol, with a "K."

There she is! Move, Karol, move!

Hey, Oona. Has Otis come by?

Uh...

I don't know, because something very odd has happened...

...to my hand.

It's eeeevil.

What are you doing?! I don't know!

It's out of control!

Where is it taking me?

It's kinda cold in here...

Oh. Yeah.

Oooh!

Got my hair done...

Mr. Lightning, stop right there!

Odd Squad! Pa-chow!

Wait! I just want to talk to you!



Gah! Ducks!

Pa-chow!

I'm not trying to catch you!

Pa-chow!

Hi, Otis!

Ohlm, what're you doing here?

Just thought I'd see if you needed any backup.

I'm good, thanks!

Can't wait to see what you got Olympia

for your Happy Halfiversary!

MR. LIGHTNING: Pa-chow!

(Sigh)

You may have caught me...

...but I'm not goin' down without a fight.

I don't want a fight! I need your autograph.

Say who with the what now?

It's for my partner's Happy Halfiversary gift.

Whaaat?

It's your Halfiversary?

Way to go, man.

Y'know, I never know what to write on these things.

Maybe just your name.

I like that.

Short and classy.

There. Mr. Lightning's autograph.

Where's Olympia?

I told her a time vortex opened up.

And she believed you?

Yeah, because I opened one.

Return to the hills of Dorestad!

You're welcome.

(Party horn)

Congratulations!

I'm so excited for your st-iversary!

You mean Halfiversary? It's both.

What? Hand.

MS. O: Different months of the year

have different numbers of days.

Four months have days--

April, June, September, and November...

And one month, February, has days...

And seven months have days--

January, March,

May, July,

August, October, and December.

And today's date is January st.

If your Halfiversary is in a month with days,

it's also your st-iversary.

That means you get your partner two gifts.

I have to get two gifts?

Why didn't you mention this earlier?

I'm pretty sure I did.

♪ (Slow reggae tune)

I'm not an expert on this stuff.

I don't even have a partner...

Or do I? I don't.

Or do I have a secret, tiny partner in my lab coat?

I don't.

Olympia didn't get me two gifts.

OTHERS: Look under you desk.

OTIS: Why'd she hide it down here?

MS. O: It's a st-iversary tradition.

It's all in the Agent's Manual.

He doesn't "do" manuals.

Right-- We all remember when he set up the blender.

BLENDER: Puree! Puree! Puree!

No problem. I know the perfect gift--

a rock. A rock?

It's a gift of a thousand uses.

Paperweight, door-holder, paperweight...

Olympia likes Odd Squad history.

I bet she'd love an original Odd Squad agent badge.

My old partner O'Donahue has one!

You can find him here.

OTIS: I appreciate this.

I know I'm not usually one for flowery speeches...

And this is no exception.

OLYMPIA: Have either of you seen Otis?

I got this.

Olympia, something very odd has happened...

to my hand.

It's evil!

What's happening?

Uh, I don't know!

It's out of control!

I don't know where it's taking me!

Queen of the Ice Trolls,

thank you for leaving your ice palace to meet with me.

QUEEN: Did you bring them?

Yes, I've recovered the Tundra Gems.

I hope this will mean peace at last.

It will indeed-- provided you came alone, as agreed.

Agent O'Donahue! So glad I found you.

Betrayal!!

Am I interrupting something?

(Growling)

(Growling)

It took me five years to earn that troll's trust!

I'm sorry. It's just--

I need an original Odd Squad badge for a st-iversary gift.

Did you say "st-iversary?"

You know what that is?

My people also celebrate that momentous occasion.

Give the boy a badge, O'Donahue.

Happy st-iversary. Thanks.

QUEEN: O'Donahue...

Perhaps we're not as different as we think.

Maybe there can be peace between our kinds...

(Chuckle)

As long as there are no more surprises.

Heh. No need to worry.

There won't be any-- Have no fear!

Backup is here! Oh, come on!

(Growling)

Bloop, bloop, bloop. King me.

Again-- That's not how this works.

Okay, two gifts.

All done. Where's Olympia?

She should be here soon.

Did you open another time vortex?

No. We opened three of them.

Even I think this is a bit much.

'Kay, I'll just put this gift under Olympia's chair.

That should do it.

Except for the Friday Felebration gift.

OTIS: Are you kidding me?

Hand...

MS. O: A month is made up of weeks,

and a week is made up of seven days--

Sunday, Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

Friday, and Saturday.

So if your Halfiversary and st-iversary

fall on a Friday,

then it's also your Friday Felebration.

That means you get your partner three gifts.

Why didn't you mention this earlier?

I'm pretty sure I did.

♪ (Slow reggae tune)

Anyway, it's all-- I know, I know.

"It's all in the Manual."

So, what are you gonna get her?

I'll just write "Number One" on this shirt

and give it to Olympia.

That way she'll know she's my number one partner.

What do you think?

I think I'm not going to stick around to see that.

Yeah.

OLYMPIA: Hey, Otis!

You remembered our anniversaries!

Can I open it now?

Yeah, see, the thing is, um...

(Gasp)

An autographed picture of Mr. Lightning?

It completes my collection!

Yeah, but there's something else I need to tell yo--

(Gasp)

Whoa.

An Odd Squad original agent's badge?

You are the best!

You say that now, but later-- Where's the third present?

Did you hide it? This is fun!

See, the thing is--

A mint condition Agent's Manual,

still in its shrink wrap?

Yeah?

This is the best Happy Halfiversary/

st-iversary/ Friday Felebration ever!

Ah, it was nothin'. Your turn!

Socks?

A rock?

And a t-shirt...

(Sobbing)

Are you crying?

OTIS: You know me so well.

I'm puttin' this on right now.

I'm gonna wear this everywhere.

Quick squirming!

We've still got the socks to do. What?

Looks good, man.

(Quiet sounds of hammock ropes stretching, water trickling)

(Quiet sounds of hammock ropes stretching, water trickling)

(Quiet sounds of hammock ropes stretching, water trickling)

(Quiet sounds of hammock ropes stretching, water trickling)

Hey, Ocean. You wanted to see us?

Yeah, dudes. I got a major problem.

Do you wanna tell us the problem?

Oh, yeah, good idea.

I found this creature egg in Sector ,

but I don't know what's inside.

If it's a good thing, I'm all good.

But if it's a bad thing, maybe you can zap it?

Unless it's really bad--

then there's no stopping it, and it will destroy us all.

Hold on, isn't there

an egg database or something where we can look up what it is?

Yeah, but take a gander.

(Machine clicking and whirring)

(Rapid typing)

There are thousands of creature eggs,

and I can't narrow down

which one it is in just ten minutes.

That is hatching in ten minutes?

Naw, that's way off.

It's nine minutes now.

What?!

Hang on, can't you put it in a cage or something?

If it's good, it won't need a cage.

But if it's bad, it'll break out of the cage.

But I can get one if it makes you feel better.

Do NOT leave us alone with this!

Can't it hatch outside?

Then, if it's bad, we won't be near it.

My job is to protect all creatures,

and hatching it here is its best chance of survival.

But bad for our survival if it's a bad thing!

It's way worse than bad, dude.

It'll be horrible!

(Shriek)

Hang on-- Not every creature egg looks the same.

Yes, we can figure out what creature egg this is

by examining its attributes.

Attra-what?

"Attributes" is a fancy word for things specific to the egg.

I talk fancy when I'm nervous.

It's orange with blue spots.

OLYMPIA: That's right. Color is an attribute.

Knock out all the creature eggs that aren't orange and blue.

Whoa! Only ten eggs left!

BOTH: We did it... sort of!

OLYMPIA: We need another attribute

to help narrow it down.

(Female voice roaring)

Does anybody else hear roaring?

...ohh-cean!

I heard there's a dangerous creature about to hatch in here.

Ms. O, it might not be dangerous. But it could be.

But it could be harmless, like a cuddly monster.

Do those exist? I'm talking too much.

So what is it? Good or bad?

Well, here are the possible eggs it could be.

These five critters are as gentle

as a rainbow on a summer breeze.

But these five'll eat us-- hopefully in one bite.

(Shout)

So five good, five bad.

That means it's just as likely to be good as it is bad.

The egg goes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ms. O, I have a responsibility to protect that creature.

And I have a responsibility to protect my juice boxes!

OTHERS: Huh?

...Also people that work here.

I don't have time to argue.

I figured it out! The egg is good.

What? Where'd you get that?

It's not big, and small things are harmless.

I'm small.

Do I look harmless to you?

Good point. The egg's bad.

Wait-- Not every egg is the same height,

and height is an attribute.

Maybe if we measure the height of this egg,

we can find out what's inside.

Oh, I have a creature downstairs that looks just like a ruler.

The only way we can tell it's not a ruler is because it meows.

(Growl) I also have a regular ruler.

I think either one would be fine, thank you.

Cool!

Okay, now that he's gone, let's check it.

Wait, what?

I thought that's what we were doing--

tricking Ocean to leave.

No!

I'm kinda with Ms. O. This egg is too risky.

OLYMPIA: Wow... (Grunt)

This is just like you.

What do you mean, "Just like me?"

You say one thing, and then you change your mind later.

It's like you and gum.

First you don't like gum, and then you do like gum.

You're a flip-flopper.

At least I don't always have to have the last word.

I don't do that! You just did.

No I didn't. You're doin' it again.

Did not. See?

That's what I'm talking abou-- It's not my fault you can't finish a conversa--

Will the two of you stop arguing?!

Yes, ma'am. Sorry, ma'am.

(Sigh) Let's just focus on figuring out this egg,

hopefully before it hatches.

Okay? 'Kay.

Hey, I'm sorry for calling you a flip-flopper there.

And I'm sorry for saying you always

had to have the last word.

I appreciate that.

I realize there are some things about myself

that I need to work on.

Me too, and I'm lucky to have you as a partner,

always looking out for me.

No, I'm the lucky one.

No, I'M the lucky one.

(Both argue about who's the luckiest)

(Both argue about who's the luckiest)

Hey!!

Are you two arguing about the argument you've just finished?

Yes. Yeah...

(Shout)

I'm back. I got the creature version.

(Meow) It's okay, it's okay.

To measure the height attribute,

just line it up at the bottom.

Twelve inches.

Great, which one of the remaining eggs

are one foot tall?

Wait, I thought the egg was inches.

There are inches in one foot, so it's the same thing.

OLYMPIA: Four eggs are one foot tall.

Woo! We're getting closer.

Ocean, stats? This is a wiggleworp.

It's super chill.

These other three are super... un-chill.

So three bad and one good.

That means it's more likely that it's bad.

Get rid of it. What?

What, "what?" You wanted to get rid of it a second ago.

I thought you were on my side, dude! I was.

I am! I don't know!

I feel hot and very alone right now.

(All scream)

Ocean, give me an update!

Four minutes 'til hatch-down.

Can one of you friends hand me some ice?

My ear's burning up from all this egg-listenin'.

MS. O: The egg is hot.

Temperature-- That's another attribute!

But Ms. O, all the remaining eggs are hot.

Hold on-- Maybe the eggs aren't the exact same "hot."

So heat could be used as an attribute.

Do you have a thermometer? No way!

If I leave, there's no tellin' what these people'll do.

Otis and Olympia, get a thermometer.

BOTH: Yes, ma'am!

So...

So...

Dr. O and Oscar hired you, huh?

Yes, ma'am.

Have we ever talked before?

To each other? No.

Well, I guess this is a nice opportunity

to get to know each other.

Or we could bang some cups together.

Five, six, seven, eight.

♪ (Banging cups in time to a cheerful tune) ♪

We've got it!

Put the thermometer in the little cr*ck on the top.

The red line will rise or fall

and stop at the temperature of the egg.

OTIS: It stopped at degrees.

What egg in that list is degrees?

OCEAN: Two eggs left.

Could be a wiggleworp or a kraken.

Like I said-- Could be good, could be bad.

Ugh, we're back where we started!

At least we know what the bad thing could possibly be,

so we can prepare.

What's a kraken? Has anyone seen one?

Ocean?

(All scream)

There's no stopping that!

The egg goes NOW!

Wait!

If it's a wiggleworp, it won't survive on the outside.

And if it's a kraken, we won't survive on the inside!

It won't be! What?!

You haven't seen a kraken because it's really rare.

There are only this many in the world...

Twenty!

And look how many wiggleworps there are...

OLYMPIA: Two hundred.

If there's way more of them... It's more likely the egg is good.

But it's still possible it's bad.

We'd still be guessing.

Tru dat.

(Scream) What should we do, Ms. O?

Should we run it outside or keep it in here?



The egg stays. Yes!

Quick, dudes, make a circle around the egg

so it doesn't escape.

This is like a dream I had.

In the dream, what creature came out if the egg?

There was no egg. It was a hotel.

Now that I'm saying it out loud, this is nothing like my dream.

I never told any of you this before,

but my favorite number's seven.

Uh, why is that a secret?

It's less a secret and more something that never came up.

We're, uh, not going to get eaten, right?

I mean, we can't.

There's so much left in the season.

What?

Winter! It's my favorite season.

Plus I just got a ski pass and I've barely used it.

It's hatching! Hold the circle!

(All scream)

(Roar from inside egg)

We guessed wrong!

No, we guessed right!

That's the sound the wiggleworp makes!

(Gasp)

The light's so bright, I can't see the creature.

OCEAN: Nah, dude. Light IS the creature.

Hey, little guy.

OTIS: I can't see his eyes or his mouth.

You'll see it when it sneezes. Huh?

Wiggleworps are super- allergic to humans.

(Sneeze)

(Sputtering)

Gesundheit, little buddy.

I'll get you a tissue, Ms. O...

Tissue.

Hi, my name is Ohlm,

and I'm in dog years.

My favorite color's "chairs."

My favorite day on the job?

Don't have one.

But my th favorite day on the job

was when I helped Otis on a big, big case.

So that's Otis running. And then I come in, too.

And I ask him for backup, but he doesn't need it.

So basically he runs off

and I can't wait to see what he got Olympia

for their Happy Halfiversary.

Oh, and that's a dog barking.

What's that?

Oh, you don't want me to talk when you're showing

the little part from my life.

Okay.

One other day I liked

was when everyone turned into puppies.

(Mouthing words)

I did it! I got it!

Well, you said not to talk,

so I decided to point at stuff

so the people watching would know what was going on.
