02x15 - O is for Opposite/Agent Oksana's Kitchen Nightmares

Post by bunniefuu »

Coming up next on Odd Squad--

I have bad news. Ms. O got trapped in the mirror.

Hey, get back here!

I need you to find Opposite Ms. O so they can switch back.

We're looking for one of your students-- Ms. O.

Have you seen Ms. O?

Oh no!

OLYMPIA: My name is Agent Olympia.

This is my partner Agent Otis.

This is a nice place for a field trip.

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.

(♪♪♪)

You need to tell me where you are.

Cool!

(♪♪♪)

Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

(Laughing)

...Stocks.

Thank you for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, ma'am?

I'll get right to it.

The hours are nine to five, there's two weeks vacation,

you get your own parking spot,

and here's what we're prepared to offer.

Are you offering us a job?

That's right.

My assistant Jim says you do great work.

We already have a job, with Odd Squad.

(Buzz)

Jim, why are these people in my office?

JIM: The void, Pam. The void outside your window.

The void? The void!

(Mysterious hum)

You can fix that?

Not a problem. We have a Void-Go-Away-Inator.

Whoa. You really are the best.

What if I paid you...

this?

Ma'am, this is a picture of a monkey riding a bicycle.

So you are interested.

All I'm asking is if the tube operator

has to hit the controls for someone to leave,

how does a tube operator leave?

Oh, that answer's easy. Howdy do!

Hey, Oona... Let me guess.

You have bad news.

What? No.

I can't just pop up for a friendly chat with my pals?

Okay, yes, I have bad news!

There it is. Come with me.

(Growl)

Ms. O got trapped in a mirror? How did this happen?

It all started earlier today.

One can of red paint, please.

Oh, what kind of red paint would you like?

We've got... Cinnamon Sunrise...

Autumn Salsa... Toasted Pumpkin...

Sienna Mystique...

Wow, who comes up with these names?

My husband and I do.

Every night, after dinner,

we lay out colors on the kitchen table

and we name them.

That's fascinating.

Oona, what does this have to do with anything?

Oh, uh, that's actually what happened to ME earlier.

I wasn't actually here when Ms. O got stuck in the mirror.

I'll take it from here.

Oona. Oona!

I was looking for Oona in the lab earlier

when I spotted this mirror.

I decided to practise some of my work faces.

(Trying out different, disapproving growls)

I couldn't help but notice how dusty the mirror was.

You're me...

And don't you look beautiful today!

Just today? I look beautiful every day!

Hey! Get back here!

Wait, so if you touch the mirror,

you switch spots with your reflection?

Righty-o!

Why do we even have something like this?

Have you seen where we work?

Okay. Fair enough.

You could've at least put up a warning sign.

That's why I was buying paint. To make this.

Still trapped in a mirror here, people.

Right, I need you to find Opposite Ms. O,

and bring her here and get her to touch the mirror

so they can switch back.

But she could be anywhere.

OTIS: Hang on.

It Opposite Ms. O is opposite,

that means whatever she likes Real Ms. O hates.

And whatever Ms. O hates, the Opposite Ms. O likes.

So if we gather data about me,

maybe we can predict where Opposite Me will be.

Here's a pictograph that shows all the places

Real Ms. O likes to eat for lunch.

And the number of times she ate at them

are lined up in each row.

Looks like she ate at the Confalones eight times,

Debbie's Pizzeria four times,

and Delivery Doug's Egg Salad Cafe just once.

The Real Ms. O went to Confalones

eight times this month

more than she went anywhere else.

But we want to choose the place

that the Real Ms. O would be least likely to go to.

Because Opposite Ms. O will most likely be there.

BOTH: So the place to go is--

The Egg Salad Cafe.

Is it cool I said that last part?

Yeah.

Sir, madame... Table for two?

Delivery Doug, have you seen Ms. O?

Have I SEEN her?

She's on her fifth egg salad sandwich.

(Gags)

I ran out of bread.

OPPOSITE MS. O: Well, if it isn't my two favorite agents.

Give me a hug!

Oh yeah. It's OPPOSITE Ms. O,

so she'll have a opposite personality.

OLYMPIA: You're right.

Ms. O, can we get a picture?

Of course, honey-bunny!

What're you doing?

I've always wanted a picture with Ms. O,

but the Real Ms. O was not a fan of pictures.

(Cheery music, camera snapping)

Let me find the right light. Okay...

Well, hurry up before she...

disappears.

OLYMPIA: Wha? Oh.

OTIS: Yeah.

Uh, there's also the matter of the bill.

Five hundred dollars for egg salad?

Y'know how long it takes for a goat to lay an egg?

Why don't you use chicken eggs?

Huh. That's a really good idea.

Randall, I'm gonna have to let you go.

You can keep the hat.

(Randall bleats)

(Slurp)

It's sweet, but it's also tangy.

And sometimes, when you sip the straw,

you get a little air bubble.

Uh, what're you doing?

Oona is reminding me what it's like

to drink a real juice box, because these mirror ones...

(Slurp)

... are the opposite of good.

Do you have Opposite Ms. O?

We lost her.

(Growl)

Afraid so.

We need more information on how you spend your free time.

Pictograph number two.

Based on what Ms. O told us,

last week she went race car driving ten times,

skydiving twenty times,

and to a taekwondo class five times.

So the place the real Ms. O is least likely to go to

is taekwondo class.

OTIS: That's most likely where Opposite Ms. O is.

So the place to go is-- To the dojo!

I did it again, didn't I?

(Students shouting)

BOTH: Odd Squad! Odd Squad!

Are you Taekwondo Tony?

Perhaps I am...

Perhaps I am not.

Are you?

Yeah.

We're looking for one of your students, Ms. O.

Yeah, I've seen her. But not here.

THERE! Yeah!

Woo!

The Opposite Ms. O went race car driving?

But that doesn't make sense.

That wasn't the thing the real Ms. O did the least.

True, but when you're trying to figure out

how likely it is for something to happen or not happen,

it's not for sure.

There was always a chance Opposite Ms. O

would go somewhere else.

Hey, guys, I know I'm only the number one

taekwondo instructor on the eastern seaboard,

but can I make a suggestion?

Go ahead. Yes, please.

What if you figure out something

where there aren't choices,

where the real Ms. O always does the same thing

at the same time every day?

Right, because then the opposite Ms. O

would do the exact opposite of that.

Back to headquarters!

Yeah, I followed you here.

Tony, that's the last time I pretend to be you.

Hey, how do I get a red ball?

Oh, I think it's a department thing.

Since we're agents, we get red.

And you're a scientist, so you get green.

Oh yeah.

I bet if I write a letter, I could get a red ball.

Maybe.

Or if I'm pulling for it,

I might as well get a rainbow ball.

Yeah, with lightning strikes on it!

Hey, thanks for talking this out with me.

No problem.

You wanna know something I do

at the same time every single day?

I dunno...

Please, Ms. O.

Well, I always go home after work,

which is right around now.

Perfect.

So if you always leave around now,

Opposite Ms. O will arrive to HQ, like, right now.

No!

What?

The other thing I always do at the end of the day

is close and lock all the doors in headquarters.

But that means...

She's gonna open all the doors.

Me and Otis'll stop her. You get the mirror.

Shouldn't moving the mirror be the two-person job?

OPPOSITE MS. O: C'mon it, my pretty.

OLYMPIA: Ms. O, stop!

PRINCESS: Do you like my dress?

Let's have a tea party!

OPPOSITE MS. O: Stop it! Why are you doing that?

OTIS: Get back!

OPPOSITE MS. O: What're you doing?

OTIS: Get in there. Go! C'mon, c'mon.

Why would you do that?

It's our job to cause oddness.

What?

Uh oh. I just realized something.

You're really nice, but also kinda like a bad guy.

That's what Odd Squad is! A buncha bad guys.

We have to stop her.

Got it, partner.

What does Ms. O love the most?

Bam!

(Hiss) A juice box!

Get it away from me!

(Hiss)

Please put those away, my darlings.

No thank you!

Get her to touch the mirror!

Before she goes back...

Ms. O, can I get a picture with you?

Oh, of course, honey.

Okay, great...

Now, back to mirror world, you fiend!

(Shout)

Welcome back, Ms. O.

Thanks, Oona. Nice work, agents.

Now can we please get rid of this mirror

before it causes any more harm?

No, don't!

Hey, everybody, what's shakin'?

(Laugh)

We're gonna take so many pictures together!

(Cheery music, camera snapping)

(Cheery music, camera snapping)

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

Good afternoon, sir.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, every time I try to deliver my newspapers...

Watch.

BOTH: Whoa! It disappeared.

I'm on it.

That should do it. Thanks, Odd Squad.

Have a great rest of your day.

Why shouldn't the cyclops get half off of laser eye surgery?

No way. His one eye's way bigger.

It's double the work.

Uh oh. Looks like there's a problem.

OLYMPIA: What's going on, Oksana?

I'm having a sale on chains and wooden road barricades.

I thought you were closing off the kitchen

so nobody could use it.

Our sense of humor obviously isn't a match.

Yes, I'm closing off the kitchen so nobody can use it.

Why? Because Ms. O isn't giving me

what I need to do my job properly.

Maybe we can help.

Talk to Ms. O. The ball is in her court--

because I wrapped a list of demands around a tennis ball

and threw it into her office.

We're on it.

You're on your own, Olympia.

I'm not gettin' involved in this.

OLYMPIA: Not a problem.

How hard can it be to help Oksana get what she wants?

Rose petals, each one individually plucked...

A bag of diamonds...

bars of gold...

A helicopter?!

Okay, I admit those are a little much.

But maybe you can meet her halfway.

Y'know what, I'm done playing this game.

I'm sorry,

but this Oksana thing is way too distracting.

(Growl)

I understand you're upset, Ms. O,

but imagine how upset people'll be

if they don't get their lunch.

You make a great point... Thank you.

...which is why I'm putting you on lunch duty.

What? Why?!

You said you wanted to get involved in this.

No, I said maybe we can meet her halfway on her demands.

Olympia, we can spend the next half hour

arguing about what you did or didn't say...

or you can go make sandwiches.

I'm willing to argue.

(Growl) I'll go make sandwiches.

Told you not to get involved.

Technically... we're both involved.

No way.

I'll talk to Oksana right now and settle this.

'Kay.

I'll just put this right here.

Oksana, do you really need gold and diamonds to do your job?

Do you really need your face to do your job?

I don't think that's the same thing.

Otis, I'm not changing my mind.

I even made a photo display of my struggles.

Who took all these photos?

Do you know Joy Lafleur? No.

She's a part-time photographer I made friends with.

Hey! No photos!

Stop! Hey! Leave me alone!

For what it's worth, I think you look great.

Let's just get this over with

and figure out how many sandwiches we can make.

Looks like every day there's been a different amount

of agents that needed lunch.

One day was ,

then ,

, and .

How're we supposed to figure out how many sandwiches to make?

We don't need to know the exact number.

We can make an educated guess using estimation.

Let's look at these numbers on the number line.

OLYMPIA: , , , and .

Now let's look and see if there are any friendly numbers.

I have a question.

What're you talking about?

Friendly numbers end in five or ten.

They're easier to work with,

especially when you're estimating.

The past orders are near these two friendly numbers--

and .

Oh, so we might be a little over,

or a little under the amount that we need,

but in the end we'll be close enough to make a smart guess.

Right, but just to be on the safe side,

we'll make sandwiches.

That should be enough.

(Phone ring)

Otis speaking. And Olympia. I'm here too.

Hey, dudes, Ms. O told me you work in the kitchen now.

It's temporary.

Cool! I need food.

Sorry, we're making sandwiches as fast as we can, Ocean.

No, not for me-- for the dinos.

OTIS: What?

Oksana supplies lunch for the dinos,

and they're getting hungry...

(Huge growl)

...really hungry!

I'm headed down there now.

This is not how I saw my day going.

Oksana, I've been thinking about your list of demands.

I'm listening.

And as a show of good faith, here are your bag of diamonds.

That's very kind, Ms. O.--

Assuming the diamonds are real, of course...

Absolutely!

Because if these diamonds happen to be fake,

and I can spot a fake,

how do you think I'll react?

OHLM: Chop chop! Here comes the helicopter!

Chop chop chop!

She's onto us. Abort mission!

I repeat, abort mission!

OHLM: Mayday! Mayday!

I only have five cans of food, and that's not enough.

How many tins do you need?

No idea. What?

Oksana always brings me the right amount.

I do know each dinosaur gets one tin of food.

Let's just count the dinosaurs and figure it out.

WAY too many dinosaurs to count one by one, dude.

Look.

This radar shows how many dinosaurs are inside--

a lot.

Now, while you're busy counting them,

they're busy finding something else to eat.

I'm sure we have enough time.

(Loud banging)

Okay, let's calm down and think.

I'm calm.

I've made peace with my predicament.

We can use estimation.

See how the dinosaurs are in small groups or clusters?

I feel like you're making up words.

Stick with me!

We can estimate how many dinosaurs are in each cluster,

then count by cluster to figure out

how much to feed the dinosaurs.

I don't wanna say you've convinced me,

but I'm definitely listening.

In this cluster here, there are one,

two, three, four, five, six dinosaurs.

OCEAN: In this cluster here, there are only one,

two, three, four dinos.

OTIS: Five is the closest friendly number to four and six,

so we can say there are five dinosaurs in each cluster.

That way we can count by fives.

, ,

, , , ,

, , , .

So there are about dinosaurs,

so we need tins of food.

What's going on?

This is Joy Lafleur.

She's a part-time photographer Oksana made friends with.

Does she do creature portraits?

'Cause I've been thinking it'd be cool--

Ocean, start throwing tins in the hatch while I go get more!

♪ (Dance music)

Alright, partner,

the dinosaurs are under control...ish.

And I made all sandwiches!

Good thing, too, because my ham and cheese allergy

was really starting to act u--

(Sneeze)

So... gonna remake all these sandwiches.

Yay.

No way. I'm talking to Ms. O.

Ms. O, can you please settle this with Oksana

so Olympia and I can go back to being regular agents?

I tried... It didn't go well.

But it sounds like you've got everything under control.

Everything is not under control!

(Growl) What is it, Owen?

I need Oksana's help,

but she told me she's not serving food today.

Oh, Olympia and Otis are Oksana for the day.

Oksana, come with me.

(Otis groans)

We need to shovel carrots into the furnace

every five minutes.

Are you telling me the Odd Squad furnace runs on carrots?

Yeah. We tried onions for a while.

It made everyone cry.

...Or we were just sad.

If we run outta fuel,

headquarters will get really cold, really fast.

Let me guess-- you want me to help you

shovel carrots into the furnace.

No, I really need help with counting.

I don't have time to count carrots every five minutes.

You don't have to count. You can estimate.

How many carrots does one of these bundles hold?

They're all different-- some have eight,

some have ten, and some have twelve.

We can use friendly numbers.

I don't make friends with numbers.

I just calculate them.

OTIS: No, Owen.

Friendly numbers end in five or ten.

Ten is the friendliest and easy-to-skip count.

So, if each bundle holds about ten carrots each,

we can count by ten. Right.

Heads up.

Ten...

Twenty, thirty...

Forty...

Fifty, sixty...

Seventy...

Eighty, ninety...

One hundred... One hundred carrots.

Impressive! Thanks, Otis.

Now what about the other departments?

What other departments?

This whole building runs on food.

(Alarm blaring, loud rumble)

I gotta go find Olympia.

Otis, I need cantaloupe to power the mainframe.

Cantaloupe? Really?

Big time. I need a second.

Otis, did you know this whole place is powered by food?

I know!

Dudes, the dinosaurs are hungry again.

Hang tight. We're trying our best!

(Alarm continues)

OTIS: What's going on? We don't know!

Enough! Stop!

(Alarm ends)

Oksana proved her point.

Odd Squad can't run smoothly without her.

I'm surprised these stairs still work.

I'm ready to give in to her demands.

What's that you say?

You can have it all, Oksana--

the diamonds, the gold bars,

the rose petals, the helicopter...

all so you can live like a queen.

It's not about me, Ms. O.

All those demands are what I need

to get special food for the squad.

OTHERS: Whaaaat?

I need the rose petals

to sprinkle over the invisible bridge

leading to the best fruit and vegetable orchard in town.

The orchard is protected by a spider king

who only accepts payments in gold bars.

All the food I serve is cut with extreme precision--

the kind of precision only a diamond can provide.

Wait a minute. Who took all those pictures?

BOTH: Part-time photographer Joy Lafleur.

No, Cheryl Stevens, Joy Lafleur's teacher.

Joy Lafleur is good,

but she's not Cheryl Stevens good.

Plus Joy Lafleur is busy flying the new helicopter.

(Helicopter hovering above)

Full steam ahead, Joy Lafleur!

Aw, man.

I was way off with this helicopter costume.

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!

Aw! That wasn't me.

Oh, I know!

My hardest day here was when I fought...

the spaghetti monster!

(Monster roars, agents shout)

Aw, man!

That's two people that weren't me.

Oh, oh! I got it.

My hardest day here

was when I tamed a wild creature.

Shh... Shh...

I'm good, aren't I?
