02x17 - Scruff Ruffman At Large

[bunniefuu]

Oh, hi!

Henry's just appointed me scone captain.

They're counting on me to bring those

dry, crumbly breakfast treats

to the monthly TV station breakfast meeting.

What's this?

[gasps]

Five pieces stolen from local canine art museum?!

Oh, that's a shame right there.

Ooh, look! A coupon for day-old scones.

Being scone captain is a big responsibility.

It's why I even have a new e-mail address:

scruffman@canine-email.com.

"S.C. Ruff." That spells "Scruff,"

the name of my... Uh! Nothing. Nobody. Moving on. Huh!

Check my e-mail here.

Ah... Junk mail, junk mail...

What's this?

"Scruff, we did it!

"Hid the art just like you instructed!

"We'll pick it up tomorrow.

"Garden of the dogs.

Look for Siamese twins."

Blossom, you think this is a coded note from the perpetrators

of yesterday's art heist?

That means they were sending the letter to Scruff Ruffman,

the notorious criminal mastermind,

and also... my identical twin brother!

No, Blossom, this is just junk mail.

Scruff's serving time in a maximum security pound.

If he had escaped, we would have heard about it by now.

Uh! Late for my breakfast meeting.

Got to get some scones.

See you.

RUFF: ♪ Life was missing its mystique ♪

♪ My squeaky toys had lost their squeak ♪

And then, out of the blue, I saw the phone and bam!

My destiny was calling me.

Somebody want to tell me why we got cats singing?

RUFF: And here come the contestants now.

She doesn't like roller-coasters

that go upside down: Madi.

He'd love to be a starting point guard in the NBA.

They can use a few good ones!

Go get 'em, Mike!

She hates loading the dishwasher,

but doesn't mind unloading it.

That's the dish on Bridget.

She thinks lacrosse would be a great sport,

if it weren't for all those balls

whizzing by your head: Nina!

Mint gum gives him a headache.

Ouch! Willie.

His favorite smell?

His mom's special sauce. Rosario!

Let's get an update on the scores.

KIDS: Yeah!

RUFF: Madi is over the ,-point mark

in sixth place with ,.

Rosario has slipped to fifth with ,.

Bridget has dropped to fourth with ,.

Nina's up to third with ,.

Mike up to second with ,,

and still in first: Willie with , points.

Hello, and welcome toFETCH!,

the reality game show with a host

who isnot a criminal mastermind...

Absolutely, Ruff.

Even though he looks exactly like one.

Okay.

Wait, what criminal?

I don't want to alarm

any of you guys, but I just read in the paper

that the most sinister orange villain in dog history

has just broken out of Poodle Island,

the maximum security pound...

Uh-oh!Using a trapeze!

Now, it may not sound it, but Poodle Island is very harsh.

Okay.Anyway, it pains me to talk about him

because, well, he's a close relative.

ALL: What?!

Who is it?

Scruff Ruffman.

KIDS: Whoa!

Scruff Ruffman!

Oh, my gosh.

Scruff Ruffman escaped.He's your cousin?

He's not my cousin.

He's my identical twin.

[gasping] [gasping] Oh, my gosh!

It brings us to challenge #.

All right.

Now, my young fetchers,

Blossom and I recently intercepted

a secret e-mail meant for Scruff.

It has coded directions to five stolen paintings

hidden somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it:

Find the stolen art.

You need to go to the Garden of the Dogs.

Brett and Laura are geology experts who will help you.

The coded letter, a GPS device

and all your instructions

are in the mailbox.

So Bridget, Nina, Rosario!

Go... fetch!

Yeah, have fun.

Sweet. Nice.

We'll get the paintings back, Ruff. See you!

Have fun, guys.

You guys want to see some great home movies?

Yeah!

It's important

that you understand my relationship with Scruff.

Look at him. Look how little he was.

That's so cute.

Look at that trapeze artist.

He was really good.

So cute. But then,

he went over to the dark side,

using the trapeze for evil instead of for good.

Madi, that's where you come in.

Challenge #.

All right!

I need you to find...

Tito.

That's right.Tito?

And that's all I'm saying. Everything you need

to know is in the mailbox, so go fetch!

All right. You have fun, Madi. I don't know

what you're doing exactly, but have fun.

Me, either.

It involves Tito.

Bye. See you.

Bye-bye, Madi.Bye, Ruff!

As determined by the FETCH ,

Willie and Mike have stayed behind in the studio this week.

But they'll be eligible to win points

during the half-time quiz show.

Yeah! Yeah!

That's right. And, as you know, with every

three shows, you get an egg roll.

[laughing] Not really. The egg roll's for me.

The FETCH! Fairness Guarantee.That's right.

Yes.All of the contestants

will have competed for the same number of points

by the grand finale.Grand finale.

So, for the four kidsWoo.

out on the challenges,

up to points are at stake in the Triumph Tally.

So let's catch up with Nina, Bridget and Rosario,

who, I'm just realizing now, I've sent on a challenge

that will not make

the most sinister orange villain

in dog history very happy.

Yikes.

Uh-oh.Yeah, that's not good.

ROSARIO: All right, guys.

Pretty sure this is it, unless I'm not

reading this thing correctly.

Whoa, cool.

Is this Garden of the Dogs, by any chance?

Dogs? No, this is Garden of the Gods.

Scruff's accomplices are thievesandpoor spellers.

I know the Siamese twins' hangouts.

Siamese twins? That's in the e-mail.

They're on the right track.

My name is Brett, by the way.

RUFF: Yup, that's Brett.

He's a naturalistand he knows a lot about rocks.

He's kind of a rock star.

[laughing]

Ah...

I have a question.

Why are the rocks so red?

It's kind of a rust color

because the rocks

are full of iron oxide.

The iron in the rock rusts,

and that's what gives it the red color.

Is that the kissing camel right there where the hole is?

It is.'Cause you can see a hump.

Yeah, the formation up on top.

ROSARIO: It's awesome.NINA: That's cool.

Are those the Siamese twins?

Are those them?

Well, that rock guy wrote it and it looks like twins.

Does it look like twins?

Yeah.Yeah.

You guys are pretty good,

'cause that's exactly where we're going.

RUFF: Theydolook like twins.

Either that, or I need a new prescription for my glasses.

BRIDGET: Okay, now, in between the toes...

Oh, guys. Guys, look at this.

Whatisthat?It's like a...

RUFF: That's one of Scruff's old squeaky toys.

This is what we're looking for.Guys.

There's a letter inside or something.

BRIDGET There's something in there?

RUFF: Aha! A clue!

All right. Okay.

Old Rocky meeting the sand dune?

That sounds suspicious.

Is there something named Old Rocky and the Sand Dune?

And do you know where they're meeting?

We have a rock formation where the sandstone meets up

with what the Rocky Mountains used to be.

Well, you know, the Rocky Mountains

that you see here today

are actually our third set.

The first and the second Rockies eroded away

and created sand dunes and, you know, after time,

that got compressed and formed rock into sandstone.

Wait a minute. We're on the third set of Rocky Mountains?

And the mountains eroded away

and grew back over the course of about million years?

Wow!

Great research, Blossom.

And what causes the erosion is the water and the wind.

And as it rains, it...It wears it down.

Exactly.

RUFF: Here comes Madi. Ready?

What does she see?TITO: Up.

Wow!And kick back, kick forward.

Hold it.

Oh, gosh. Great!

Legs up!

Beautiful. See that?

Hi, are you Tito?

Hey, you must be Madi.

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Hey. Ruff told me you were coming.

RUFF: That's my good buddy, trapeze master.

TITO: Welcome to the Flying Trapeze.

Are you ready?

I don't know.

RUFF: Madi looks a little nervous.

Flying Trapeze is very safe.

You see, when you have this belt on you...

Here we are.

That's a good-looking safety line.

I'm feeling a little better already. Ready, go.

Okay, one, two.

Attagirl. There we go.

Kick forward, kick back.

Forward, back. That's great. Stop.

How'd you like that?

It's hard, but I can learn.

All right, let's try again. Now swing.

Okay. Hold it now.

Kick back, you kick forward.

All right, now, let go.

Let go of the line?Yeah, let go of the trapeze.

Okay...Oh, boy, where are you?

I'm so scared.I bring you down smoothly, see?

Okay.All right.

Scary.

Well, good job! Let's head on out to Studio G...

The next step is...Wait, what next step?

To teach you the knee hang.

Did he just say knee hang?

You swing your legs forward, kick back. Like that?

And then you pull your legs

right through the middle of the trapeze.

So forward, back and then up? Yes.

And hang on with your knees, all right?

Kick forward.

Kick back.

Knees up.

Come on. Hands off!

Oh, gee...[shrieks]

She's hanging from her legs!

Wow, on the first try!

Reach for my hands. Catch!

Yes!

You got it!

These are, like, really cool.

BRETT: Where we're coming to over here

is where we get two different types coming together.

We're talking about the sandstone here,

and then the erosion where we're getting the conglomerate,

the mixture of particles.

This rock over here

is a good example of where they come together.

We call this Sentinel Rock.

This is called a conglomerate.

This is a mixture of the different-sized rocks.

You can see the change.

Oh, yeah.

Sand dune.Conglomerate.

ROSARIO: Okay, so this is where it meets.

Whoa, guys, look!

RUFF: Another clue!

A rubber chicken.

Underground water?

Oh, that sounds very suspicious.

North !

Look at the GPS.

Ah, time to whip out

the old GPS unit. What are the numbers?

West to White Tunnel.

Okay.All right, bye, Brett.

Thank you so much.Good luck, guys.

Thank you so much.We'll see you later.

Let's go! Five miles.

Watch out!

I don't see any water.

Uh-oh.

Oh, that's a cave.

A cave?

You mean with, like, bats and bears and stuff?

Guys, it's equipment.

Oh! Oh! Sweet!

Oh, man,

the stolen art is probably... [gulps]

down in the cave.

Now it's time to teach you how to fly.

You're going to send her up there?

But it's her first day!

It's like a million miles up.

[whimpers nervously]

You don't have to go up there if you don't want to!

Oh, she's going anyway. TITO: All right, here we go.

You're climbing and climbing and climbing.

That's, that's a little bit...

That's further... That's high.

TITO: Reach out for the bar, Madi.

Get a good grip on that bar.

Both hands, little wider, so you can get your knees through.

Nice, tight grip, Madi.

TITO: There you go.

Ready? Go!

And kick it up.

And there she goes!

Nice. Kick back, kick forward.

All right, here we go, Madi.

Now listen to me. Okay, forward.

Now, don't whip your legs. Leave them behind.

Leave them behind.

Okay, forward, kick back.

Knees up, pull.

There you go. See how you waited till the end...

And she did it!

Yeah? Okay...

It took a while, though.

Madi, it's okay.

It was great. Okay?

It's hard. It is hard,

but you know what, you can do it.

Let's do it again. Okay.

Okay, come on.

TITO: Ready? Go!

Legs... up!

Kick 'em in, kick 'em in! Come on!

Hands off!

Arch!

Good! That's it!

Yes, much better!

Great job!

Ruff, it was really scary,

but now it's starting to get really fun.

Hey, hey, Ruff Ruffman here, back in Studio G

with Willie and Mike.

It's time for you guys

to earn some points of your own

during the Half-Time Quiz Show.

Now remember, points are available.

You work together as a team, so decide on your answer

and lay it on me.

You have seconds to answer as many questions as you can.

Feel free to skip if you're not sure.

We can come back to it if there's time.

Ten questions available, five points apiece.

Are you guys ready?

Think so.

Then let the quiz begin.

Awesome.

Siamese Twins.

Incorrect.

Sand dune.

Incorrect.

I have no clue.

Oh, camels! Camels!

Excellent.

No, no, no... The belt.

She wear... yeah, the strap.The belt and the straps.

I'll go with that.

Excellent.

True or false?

Yes.

Water. Rain! Rain!

Rain and, and... air.Water and air.

Okay, I'm going to go air into the wind.

We're going to go with the water, the rain-- we're good.

Wow, exhausting, but hey,

good score.

Let's add it up.

points!

Yeah!

Nice job!We did pretty good.

I know the answer to the one we missed.

It was Sentinel Rock.

That's right. The name of the rock

where the contestants found the rubber chicken

is Sentinel Rock.

And the other one you missed.

A conglomerate is a rock made of sand

and different-sized pebbles.

But points is a good score.

Now back to the cave-exploring, stolen art-finding fetchers.

Guys, look it.

We're kind of like underground, and I can hear water dripping.

That's water underground.

Look.

It's a clue!

Ooh, ooh, ooh. Oh...

I tell you, my brother Scruff is a crafty one.

That's a very scary place to hide clues.

Oh, thank goodness they have a map.

Aha! The map has an X.

I bet that's where the stolen art is.

Pictures, guys.

NINA: Oh, they're pictures of the different things

we should be looking for.

WOMAN: What are you guys doing down here?

Who's that? Who goes there?

Hey, I'm Laura.

Hi, how are you?I'm a tour guide.

Oh, cool. I'm actually a cave guide.

Oh, it's Laura.

Underground rock star.

This is a limestone cave here,

and I know all about limestone caves.

Look up. See these big fractures on the ceiling?

Yeah? That's why we've got a cave here right now,

is because you've got cracks in the limestone

that lets water come down here.Oh, cool.

See, water eats away the rock, picks up all these minerals

and just puts it in new places.

Remember, we're supposed to follow the water underground.

So we're supposed to be following the water

the whole time that we're on this trail.

Follow the water. Head underground.

I would go this way between the two.

This used to actually be a river.

But we're talking, like, in ancient times.

You guys seem like you're on the right track.

So what are we looking for here?

Wait, let's check the cave.

LAURA: Yeah, I think that's flowstone.

RUFF: Okay, so they have to match the drawings on the map

with the photos, and that will lead them to the stolen artwork.

Oh... guys...

NINA: Oh, isn't this the...

ROSARIO: Oh, yeah, right here, look.They found it!

The picture matches.

And the water flows over the stone.

It looks almost like a frozen waterfall.

That's the flow stone.NINA: Oh, that's cool.

Look at this.The next thing on our map is cave bacon.

Cave what?

I'm sorry. Did somebody just say "bacon"?

LAURA: Those formations there,

that's a ribbon stalactite, if you want to get technical.

So we just call it cave bacon.

Cave bacon!Yeah, if you're down here long enough,

all these formations start to look like food.

Remember, every inch of formation we see

takes sometimes a thousand years to form.

A thousand years to make bacon?

Who's got that kind of time?

Yeah, this is pretty dry right now, though.

We're probably not far enough in the cave to see real moisture.

BRIDGET: The next thing we're looking for is cave popcorn.

Let me know when you get to the mushu rock formation.

NINA: Cave popcorn!

All this water, dripping through the cave,

it's full of calcium from the rock that it's been eating away.

The little calcium crystals recrystallize,

in whatever shape they're in.

That's why sometimes they come down like icicles,

and sometimes they pile up underneath.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

The dripping water deposits minerals,

and over time, the minerals build up to form

stalactites on the ceiling

and stalagmites on the ground.

Okay, cool.

Let's give Madi a call.

[cell phone ringing]

Hello?

Hey, Madi, Ruff Ruffman. How you doing?

Good. First it was scary, but now I'm having a lot of fun.

RUFF: It definitely shows. I'm all about challenges,

so I got another one for you.

Okay.

You're not only going to perform a knee hang

on the flying trapeze,

you're going to perform a knee-hang catch

and it'll be in front of your family!

I even got you a special, super awesome costume for you to wear.

It's up there with Tad.

He's not going to just throw it down to you.

You've got to swing up there

and get it yourself.Oh, oh.

TITO: Oh, boy, there he is.

Come on. We can do this.

Ready?

RUFF: Oh, she's so brave.

TITO: Go! Leg up! You got it.

And go!

Reach. Good!

RUFF: Got it! Yeah!

It's so pretty.

There's tights and everything.

Hope I do well.

The next thing we're looking at is right there.

RUFF: Holy Jurassic Park!

What is that? It looks like it has teeth.

Shield formations like this are really rare.

And you can see when the water comes in,

it's just full of minerals like calcium

and it's melting away the rock.

See where it all just dripped as the water dripped down?

The oil from the hands and the salt and the minerals...

That's what it is?

Yeah, yeah, this is a dead formation.

It's not going to grow again.

See, water is what delivers all those minerals

to help this thing grow,

and when you've got oily layers like this,

the water will just slide off of it,

and it can't get beyond that oily layer to deposit minerals.

So yeah, this one is never going to grow again.

RUFF: Wow, there must have been lots of visitors touching

that stalactite over the years to make it so oily.

Ugh!

They're getting deeper into the cave.

I think they're getting closer

because the cave's getting creepier.

ROSARIO: Guys, right here!

BRIDGET: Wait, what's that?

ROSARIO: It's another way.

Hold up, people.

NINA: There's something up ahead.

That could be the spider's den.

[Rosario screaming]

Don't do that.

Oh, guys, these are cave spiders.

You don't need to be afraid of them.

They're little albino things that are blind

because they spend their whole lives down here.

RUFF: I don't care if they don't have eyes at all!

I'm not going near a spider.

ALL: Oh!

ROSARIO: The rope, guys.

This is what it's for.

NINA: What are we going to do?

ROSARIO: We tie it around, drop it down, go down.

RUFF: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Look out. Guys, let's look at the map.

It says "stay out," right there.

We must have taken a left

instead of continuing straight on Windy Passage.

So I think we went the wrong way.

ROSARIO: Yeah, but why would they say "Stay out"?

RUFF: Because it says "danger" with a skull and crossbones

and that's usually a bad sign.

All I'm saying, guys, is that maybe that's a trap map

and we should go down there.

It says "stay out" because they want us to think we shouldn't.

Rosario, it's been right all along.

Yeah, maybe that's what it wants.

Let's go your way.

He's been watching too many soap operas lately.

Don't knock the soap operas.

I watchAs the Dog Turns.

I can totally feel the wind coming.

Yeah, I know. It's getting cold.

I'm freezing.

RUFF: They're definitely getting closer to the hidden art.

Oh, that's the next picture!

We're getting deeper into the cave because... the water.

RUFF: The farther into the cave they go, the wetter it gets.

ROSARIO: Let's go.

NINA: Oh, my gosh, we're wicked close.

RUFF: That's right, Scruff.

The fur in the back of your neck

should be standing right up now because we're close!

Whoa! Look at that hole down there.

Guys, we want to go down there.

ROSARIO: So you guys were right. I'm sorry about earlier.

RUFF: All right, let's kiss and make up.

Let's keep moving.

Ah! Oh, it's Laura.

They've got to stop creeping up.

LAURA: You guys have some rope.

Do you know what to do with that?

ROSARIO: No. We're not really going...

NINA: Whoa, look at the pretty stuff on our left.

LAURA: Oh, those are crystals of calcite.

If you can imagine every cubic inch of crystals here

can take a thousand years to grow.

I'm going to go get my camera.

[gasps] Guys!

RUFF: There it is! Take that, Scruff!

We've got to bring them back.

Ruff, we got 'em.

I know, I saw. Good job, guys. Good job.

Off to Studio G.

RUFF: Get out of there before Scruff finds out.

Hi.

Madi, look at you.

You look great.

Your costume and everything.

RUFF: Hey, there's Madi's family and friends.

Guess what? They're ready for you.

Good luck!

I wouldn't want to be up there.

RUFF: I'm so nervous.

She needs to do a knee-hang catch

in front of all these people.

That's a lot of pressure.

Go! Legs up!

Come on now. You can do it.

Hands off!

Arch!

Tag there. Go, go, go.

RUFF: She did it!

Whoo!

All right, Madi!

RUFF: Oh, that was so cool.

Whoo!

All right, that was nice. See that?

That was terrific.

Thank you all for coming

and thank you, Tito, for helping me out.

I could not have done this without you.

And Ruff, when I came here this morning,

I did not think I could even get up there.

RUFF: You went pale.

But now that I did it...

I'm happy I did, and now I feel like I can do anything.

So thank you so much and I'll see you at Studio G.

Thank you, everybody.

RUFF: That was like the nicest thank you anybody's ever said to me.

Now let's welcome back to Studio G

our stolen art-fetching fetchers,

Bridget, Rosario and Nina.

Hi, guys.

Whoa, you guys have fun?

Yeah, we pretty much did.

You got dirt all over your pants.

All right, mind the carpet, mind the carpet.

Let's sit gently, gently.

And right behind them, here she is, master of the knee hang

and the knee-hang catch, Madi.

Ooh, Madi!

Hi, guys. Don't make fun of me.

Who's going to make fun?

You look awesome!

Thank you.

You look cleaner than these three.Prettier than us.

Yeah. I hope so.

We went caving for you all day.

So guys, stolen art recovery a success.

Yes.

Cave painting.

There you go.

RUFF: Hold it up. I want to see it. Hold it up.

The Doga Lisa.

RUFF: That's a great one.

Really, really, really great work, guys.

Thank you.

Just awesome. Do you hear that?

Why, it's the points train chugging into the station.

Yeah!

Choo-choo!

Let's unload those boxcars and get some points.

ALL: Yeah!

First up, the swinging lady herself...

Madi!

You went really high up and just hung right in there.

That is bravery and that is points for you.

Now, not only did you hang on that bar-- which was crazy--

but you kept hanging.

That is perseverance and points.

Yeah!

And another points

for perfecting a high-pressure knee-hang catch.

That makes points.

ALL: Oh, yeah!

Awesome. Nice, Madi!

Good job.Wow.

Now, then, Bridget, Rosario, Nina.

Your questions and clue tracking were skillful enough

to win you points.

Nice!

MADI: Awesome, you guys.

And better still, you used your rock science knowledge

and retrieved the stolen artwork,

which is bound to upset my no-goodnik brother,

love him though I do.

points.

And for not being afraid of the dark, ten more points

for a grand total of points.

Awesome!

Nicely done, my clay-covered fetchers.

But is that all the points a dog can give?

ALL: No.

What time is it?

ALL: Bonus points.

That's right.

Today's five points go to the fetcher who knows

that a squeaky toy needs to be searched thoroughly.

Guys, there's a letter inside.

That was awesome.

So, FETCH , what do we got?

Madi, points!

You're today's daily winner.

Yeah! Madi!

Now, Madi, I have here a stalagmite and a stalactite.

So which is it going to be?

Stalagmite "A"

or Stalactite "B"?"A."

Step to the mailbox

and retrieve your prize.

I'm really nervous.

What is it? What is it?

Whoa! Two tickets to the aerial acrobatics act.

Awesome!

That's awesome, Ruff.

RUFF: That's right. It's two tickets to Cirque du Soleil.

You're going to see

some of the greatest trapeze artists in the world.

Lots of trapezey type

of twirling, somersaulting, sparkling costumes.

You're going to love it.Awesome, thanks.

That's so cool.

Well, that brings us to the end

of a high-flying, yet filthy episode

ofFETCH! with Ruff Ruffman.

I'm Ruff Ruffman.

You're the fetchers.

I'm out of here.

Bye! See ya!

Well, Blossom, the art's been returned to the museum.

So all's well that ends well, huh?

[phone ringing]

Huh? Must be the police commissioner wanting

Hello, brother.to thank us again.

Scruff, where are you?

I'm not telling.Is that a sombrero?

No, it's a yarmulke.

Is that a Mexican mariachi band I'm hearing?

No!

And that looks like a pretty authentic looking burrito

from the Oaxaca region of Mexico.

It's pizza. Got to go.Adios.

I mean, good-bye.

Blossom, notify the Mexican authorities.

If there's one thing you can say about Ruff Ruffman,

he knows his burritos.
