03x14 - Sample of New York/It’s Not Easy Being Chill

[bunniefuu]

Coming up next on Odd Squad!

What happened to your agents?

They quit, 'cause they didn't like

-what I was serving for lunch. -We won't work,

'til there's good food on our fork!

[Agent Omar] Woolly mammoths are loose. Just send backup now!

-Please! -[both scream]

[Opal] My name is Agent Opal.

These are my partners, Omar, Orla, and Oswald.

This is my forehead.

We travel the world investigating anything strange,

weird,

and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

[Opal] Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

[engine whooshing]

[Big O] Agents, something very odd

has happened in New York City.

The local Miss O will tell you more.

[Agent Orla] We'll head there right now, Big O.

♪

I thought the New York City Odd Squad precinct

would be way busier.

Welcome to New York City, OSMU.

My name is New York City Miss O.

[all] Hi!

What happened to your agents?

The same thing that happened to my scientists.

[electronic whirring]

And also my doctors.

Whatever danger has befallen your people,

we shall rescue them!

They're not in danger,

they quit 'cause they didn't like

what I was serving for lunch.

That seems like a silly reason to quit.

I know. Who doesn't like every food boiled all together?

[bubbling]

-[overlapping protests] -[Omar] Put it back on,

put it back on, put it back on!

Please tell me you didn't call us here

to make you a better lunch.

It's the only way to get my squad back.

And until then, I also need help fighting oddness

-in New York City. -Opal and I pick cooking!

Wait, what?

Sounds good to me.

I as well.

Adventure awaits.

You'll thank me later.

[sweeping orchestral music]

Before we start cooking,

we should ask your agents what kind of foods they like.

Sounds good. See you in a week.

-Wait! -What do you mean?

-A week? -There are agents

in the New York City Odd Squad.

It'll take at least a week to interview them all.

What if we took a sample?

What's that?

Instead of interviewing everyone who works for you,

we'll only talk to a small group called a sample.

We can study the data, or answers,

from a smaller group so we can make decisions

for the larger group.

Sample. Huh.

You learn something new every day.

Except this morning, I learned I can make this sound:

[discordant mechanical gargling]

I guess you learn two new things every day.

-I'll go take the sample. -And New York Miss O and I

-will go dispose of the sludge. -Just not down the sink.

I already tried that.

[sludge hissing]

[sinister chord]

Guess I learned three things.

[dramatic music]

Hark, there is an odd building!

I think that building's supposed to be like that.

But that's not!

[wormhole rippling loudly]

-Onward ho! -Wait, wa-wa-wa-wait!

Orla, do you mind if we take a taxi?

But that oddness is just over yonder.

We have no need of a motorized chariot.

Yeah, it's just the last time I was in New York,

there was all this stuff I didn't get to do,

like riding a taxi, eat a hot dog.

I have a list.

♪

You want to protect the city

and do all this at the same time?

-Challenge accepted. -Yes!

Taxi ho!

Okay.

I finished the sample

and put the results into this bar graph.

The number of agents are along the side, or vertical line.

And the type of food is along the bottom, or horizontal line.

Why is there only one bar?

Because all the agents like the same food.

How lucky is that?! The bar goes up to ,

-so you talked to agents? -Yep!

So you talked to out of the agents in my squad?

Well, that's one out of ten agents.

Good sample size.

The agents in the larger group should like the same foods.

Let's get cooking!

Or we could use the food gadget instead.

Less mess.

[whispering] I'm still gonna wear this hairnet.

[traffic din]

[man] Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

I'm trying to see the amazing views, but,

every time I look through this thing--

it's easier if I just show you.

Ah! Up, down--

it keeps moving.

-I can't get a single-- -Ah.

Looks like a case of the twisty-turnys.

[laser zapping]

Try now, sir.

Hey, it works!

Thanks, Odd Squad.

[Omar] Amazing!

Did you know that the American Institute of Architects

declared the Rockefeller Centre as the second-most

significant piece of architecture in America?

And I'm gonna polka dot it all!

For I am Polka Dot Pete!

Actually, could you polka dot somewhere else?

What? Excuse me?

We are from out of town and my friend strives to see

as much of New York City as possible.

And if you polka dot the Rockefeller Centre,

we'll have to stay here, which I've already seen.

Mm. Well, uh,

I guess I could do the Statue of Liberty instead?

Yes, that's on my list!

Thank you.

No, thank you, for helping me see my fair city.

May I?

High Line, mm, Cloisters, Brooklyn Bridge--

I bet I can make you chase me past a bunch of this stuff.

Polka Dot Pete away!

[Polka Dot Pete] Whoo-hoo!

[dramatic music]

[Polka Dot Pete] Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo!

Whoo!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo-hoo!

[protestors] No way, we won't work,

'til there's good food on our fork!

Attention!

I am happy to report that you can all come back to work.

Odd Squad Mobile Unit has made a delicious lunch.

And that delicious lunch is...

Mushed peas!

[protestors booing, groaning]

I like peas, but I want peas I can chew!

[protestors] Yeah!

No way, we won't work, 'til there's--

I don't get it.

-How did your sample not work? -Beats me.

The agents I met over there liked mushed peas.

[Oswald] Wait, did you only count the babies?

Yeah. Because they don't move.

And they're adorable.

Yes, you are!

Yes, you are!

So that's why our sample didn't work.

In order to get the best results from a sample,

we need to get information from a mix of people,

-not just babies. -We have to do the sample again.

Or we could hand out sludge to go.

Never mind.

It ate through the bottom.

♪

-And the earth. -[protestors]... we won't work,

'til there's good food on our fork!

[cackling evilly]

Prepare to be polka-dotted, Lady Liberty!

Un-polka-dot-inator!

-[grunts] -[laser zapping]

[Polka Dot Pete] Ah!

Well, you can't see the polka dots now.

You win, Orla.

Also, Omar.

What do ya think?

Amazing.

Did you know the Statue of Liberty

was originally a gift to the United States from France?

I feel like I'm seeing my city for the first time.

I'm gonna stop causing oddness

and go share this wonderful city with Cheryl.

Cheryl is my sister.

I don't see her much.

Feel like I'm giving you more information than you need.

-Yup. -Yes.

Yeah.

Polka Dot Pete away!

[epic chord]

Okay, what's next?

[gasps] It's time to go see a Broadway show!

I am not certain it is wise to be inside a theatre

when oddness could arise at any moment.

Ah, Orla, you worry too much.

Come on.

[Broadway jazz music]

[horns honking]

That was amazing.

It was quite enjoyable, but I can tell you,

the real George Washington did not rap nearly as well.

[tires screeching]

[footsteps stomping]

I take back what I said earlier.

You worry the exact right amount.

♪

Okay, we talked to another agents.

But this time it was agents of all ages.

A mix of boys and girls.

In a wide range of jobs.

Boom! The perfect sample.

So we just make this food and the whole group will be happy?

-Exactly. -The good news is,

we have all the time in the world.

-[phone playing ringtone] -Hmm.

-Go for Opal. -Woolly mammoths

-are loose in the city! -What?

-The freeze-inator is not strong enough!

[ice rippling, shattering]

Ugh!

On the plus side, we saw an amazing Broadway musical.

-I was moved emotionally. -What?

-Just send backup now, please! -[both scream]

Looks like we'll have to make lunch on the go!

We didn't hear your phone call,

so we don't know what you're talking about.

Then I'll also have to tell you guys about that conversation--

on the go!

♪

No way, we won't work,

'til there's good food on our fork!

Attention!

I'm happy to report

that my baby brother got his first tooth,

and that the Odd Squad Mobile Unit has made a new lunch.

Thank you.

Um, we didn't have time to talk to all of you,

but we did talk to of you.

The items in the horizontal line are foods.

And this vertical line shows the number of agents.

Ten said you like pizza.

Ten said you like salad.

And said you like cheese sandwiches.

So, we made some pizza,

and some salad,

and a whole lot of sandwiches.

[dramatic chord]

Please like it!

[cheering, hollering]

-Yes! -Wait! Before you eat lunch,

can you please help our friends first?

[murmuring]

[protestors] Yeah!

[both] Yes, we did it!

Yeah!

Aw, poor woolly mammoths.

Don't worry, my agents will travel back in time

to the Pleistocene epoch and thaw them out there.

It sounds complicated,

but trust me, it is rather simple.

Thanks for getting my agents back to work,

and as thanks, I'd like to give you this.

-[gasps] -It's sludge, isn't it?

-[Miss O] You betcha. -Yes.

Our job is done. Let's move out.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

I still have one more thing to do.

I think I can help with that.

[stirring string music]

A New York hot dog and a New York pretzel,

wrapped in New York pizza?!

[all] Awesome!

[straining, grunting]

[Oswald] Oh, yes!

[Orla] Mm. Mm.

[epic music]

[Big O] It's Not Easy Being Chill.

[Oswald] And here is the cockpit,

where the van is controlled.

[girl] Cool!

And this is the bullpen, where all the magic happens.

The desk, the floor--

Who's this agent-in-training?

Orpita. She's here to write a report

on an agent she admires.

Not to brag, but I know so much about the Odd Squad van.

Like, I could write a book about it.

I think Oswald really wants her to choose him.

And over here, we have two amazing agents, Opal and Orla.

-Hello. -Greetings.

And last but not least, Omar.

[sighs]

[pop music on headphones]

Omar.

Omar!

Oh, hey, guys.

Aren't you on creature duty today?

Yeah.

It's all under control.

-[creature chittering] -[Orpita] Cool!

We're on a mission to take that little guy back to its habitat.

I'm in charge of feeding it.

That sounds pretty chill.

-Totally chill. -[van computer] Agents, you have

an incoming call from the Big O.

[suspenseful music]

There you four are.

I mean, there you five are.

Hello, Orpita. How's your training going?

-Chill as ever, Big O. -Uh, Big

O, are you sitting at the security desk at my old museum?

Yep. Ortho got turned to stone again,

and this place is seriously understaffed.

On to business.

Something very odd has happened.

An unknown villain has released a giant robot

that's making its way through the countryside of Holland.

Have a look.

[all gasp]

And I need you to stop it.

We're on it, Big O.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go!

Inputting coordinates for Holland.

This is great news for your report, Orpita.

Now you get to see me in action battling a giant robot.

I wanna do my report on Omar.

He seems super fun and chill.

She's not wrong.

Right this way, Orpita.

I'll show you where I sit.

Omar, I know you think this will be fun,

but there's a time for fun

and there's a time to be responsible.

And feeding the creature, it's very important.

Which is why I've got all the creature cookies right here.

Why is there a line between some of the numbers?

Those two jars have fractions, or pieces, of a whole cookie.

Look.

This is one whole cookie.

Two half-cookies make a whole.

[Orpita] Hmm.

And four one-quarter cookies also make a whole.

Like this.

See?

So, you feed the creature all this stuff at once?

No, just one half-cookie whenever the timer rings.

Let's move out, Oswald.

We have an evil robot to defeat.

[both] I love Tuesdays.

[dramatic music]

Listen up, Orpita.

I'm about to show you the most important thing

they won't teach you at the Academy.

How to make the perfect nachos!

I had no idea Odd Squad could be so chill.

When you hang with Mr. Chill, things are a little different.

[timer beeps]

Well, time to feed the creature.

I could do it! Then you could stay here

and finish making the 'chos. I don't know.

Feeding the creature is kind of my responsibility,

and it's important to feed it the right amount

-of food or else-- -Hmm.

-What are you writing? -Just that you're

more of a rules guy than I thought.

What?! I'm not a rules guy.

I'm Mr. Chill.

You can totally feed the creature.

Just give it a one-half cookie.

And when you get back, we'll chow down on some nachos.

Thanks, Omar.

Mr. Chill.

I should get that on a t-shirt.

♪

I don't know why Orpita didn't choose me for her report.

I'm very chill.

Don't you think I'm chill?!

Oswald, hate to interrupt,

but there's a giant evil robot ahead!

-[laser blasting] -[agents screaming]

[panting]

Must be the work of Mr. Lightning.

Ah!

And Flattem.

Since the hayload just flattened.

[rapid gadget-fire]

[all screaming]

And Lady Bread!

[gasping breathlessly]

Captain's blog. Holland countryside.

Someone must have organized these villains

to work together.

Probably an evil genius mastermind.

Probably someone I don't like.

Opal, forget your blog.

Captain's blog.

I very specifically called it captain's--

-[laser zapping] -[Oswald and Opal scream]

We need to find the robot's weak spot.

-[panicked shouts] -Let us do it while running.

[screaming]

♪

When you think about it, Odd Squad's a lot like a nacho.

Because it's awesome?

Exactly.

[crashing in distance]

That sounded like it came from the creature room.

[monitor beeping]

Oh no. The creature escaped!

Didn't you feed it a half-cookie?

Actually, it looked really hungry,

so I gave it a one quarter-cookie.

Oh, no, you underfed it.

I don't think so. Look,

four is a bigger number than two,

so one quarter is more than one half.

Not when you're dealing with fractions.

Look.

The half-cookie...

is bigger...

than the quarter-cookie.

So, you gave the creature less food than it needs.

It's acting up because it's hangry.

Wow. You seem really stressed.

I'm not stressed, I'm Mr. Chill.

[crashing in distance]

I just have to catch the creature,

and give him more food before it tears the van apart.

And do it in a totally chill way.

Be right back!

[dramatic chord]

-[creature chittering] -Omar's...

house of...

-friendship. -Omar?

Is everything okay?

Do you need my creature emergency book?

No!

Things here are super chill.

Well, you might wanna tell Orpita

it's not too late for her to do a report on me.

Because things with the robot are going great.

[robot whirrs]

-[mechanical gadget f*ring] -[agents scream]

Things are not going great!

We detected a weak spot under

a weird badge on the robot's chest.

I need you to bring us jetpacks so we can reach it.

No problemo. See you soon.

[creature chittering]

[-snarling] -Ah!

[electronic music on headphones]

Orpita!

I gotta go help the team with their mission,

so if the timer goes off,

feed the creature one half-cookie.

No less, got it?

One half-cookie.

From this jar.

I got it, dude. No need to stress.

Who's stressed?

Not me.

I am chiller than a popsicle in December.

[sighs worriedly]

[electronic music on headphones]

[mechanical gadget f*ring]

[agents screaming]

The bread blocks are getting crustier!

Hey, guys! I got your jetpacks.

Thanks, partner.

Now we can get up there and hit the button

under the robot's badge to shut it down.

Jetpack ho!

We're coming for you, evil robot!

[robot] Oh no.

Go, Opal, go!

Ahhh!

[robot] Shutting down.

-[Orla squeals] -You did it!

Well, it looks like you got things here under control,

so I'll get back to Orpita.

You seem stressed.

Me? Stressed?

Nah.

Me and Orpita are having fun.

That's a stress run.

[funky electronic music]

[door opening]

Van computer, turn the music off.

[music stops]

-Hey, why'd the music stop? -[van computer] Omar made me.

I just need to be able to hear the creature feeding timer.

Oh, no worries. I already fed it.

-[sighs in relief] -I knew I could

count on you to feed it half a cookie.

Uh, I didn't do that.

I couldn't find the half-cookie jar.

[suspenseful music]

It's right here.

No worries.

You taught me that a quarter is smaller than a half,

so I gave it to two quarter-cookies instead.

Okay! That's great.

And I didn't wanna underfeed it again,

so I gave it an extra quarter as well.

You gave it three quarter-cookies?

That's more than one half!

Look.

This is one half-cookie.

These are two quarter-cookies.

Two quarter-cookies make a half,

so by adding another quarter-cookie,

you overfed the creature.

Oh, so that's why it got so huge.

What?!

[boxes rustling]

[creature roaring]

This is a total creature emergency!

Orpita, keep an eye on the creature

I'm taking these, just in case.

Hey, Omar, where you going?

And why are you holding jars of creature food?

And where's Orpita?

-Um... -[creature roaring]

[agents] Uh-oh.

I was trying to be chill when I should've been responsible.

We failed our creature mission and it's all my fault.

Maybe not.

♪

According to my creature emergency book, it says,

"In order to turn the creature back to normal size,

you just have to feed it two whole cookies."

Well, we only have one whole cookie.

[Orpita] I can help.

[agents] Seriously?

[creature chittering]

Omar said that fractions are just pieces of a whole,

so we can make a second whole cookie

by combining the smaller cookie pieces.

Look.

This half-cookie is half of a whole.

And you taught me that two quarter-pieces make one half.

So, one half-cookie

plus two quarter-cookies make one whole.

-You did it! -Great.

But how do we get the cookies inside the creature's mouth?

A Guide to Meetings.

Hello. Agent Oswald here.

We like to have a lot of meetings at Odd Squad

about important cases, or what we're having for lunch.

That meeting's called the Eating Meeting.

[whispering] My favourite meeting is the meeting

where we talk about all the meetings we're going to have.

It's called the Meeting Meeting.

[normal volume] I like to come prepared

with lots of papers and notes,

and I really like to spread them out.

Only problem is, space is tight here in the van,

and other people don't always like that.

[Oswald, imitating Orla] I am not pleased, young Oswald.

I too require space to work.

Luckily, we can share the table with equal partitioning.

[Orla] What is equal partitioning, young Oswald?

Glad you asked, Cardboard Orla.

To partition is another way to say to divide.

I'm going to divide this table into equal parts,

which will be two halves.

Tape-inator.

-[gadget blasting] -Ah.

Now the table is divided in half.

One half for me, and one half for Cardboard Orla.

Now she's happy.

But what if we needed to share this space

with even more people?

Uh-oh. Looks like Cardboard Opal

and Cardboard Omar want space to work too.

Luckily, we can partition this table into quarters,

or four equal parts.

A quarter is half of a half.

Look. [chiming, tape-inator blasting]

Four equal parts.

So we all have space to work.

[smiles twinkling]

I think we have a question.

[Omar] What if we all had twins,

so there were eight of us at the meeting?

Not to worry. I had a feeling you'd ask me that.

Which is why I made these.

All we need to do is divide the table into eighths.

One eighth is half a quarter.

-Look. -[tape-inator blasting]

See? Eight equal parts, so we can all work together.

Oswald, we need to have a meeting about

how much money you're spending on cardboard.

[Oswald] Welcome to O Odd Squa, a guide to your gadgets.

Behold, the toothbrush-inator.

The first gadget ever created.

Most people don't know this:

the toothbrush-inator isn't used for brushing teeth,

it's used to comb your eyebrows

with high-quality bristles

made from only the finest horsetail hair.

The toothbrush-inator can withstand anything--

except toothpaste.

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

Remember, knowledge is power,

power is gadgets,

and gadgets is ham salad.
