[Dr. Zone] All my worrying
just wasted time!

Let's get it back!

Quick, to the Time Bee-hicle.

I've got to hit that button!

If only I had fingers on my right hand!

[grunting]

[continues grunting]

The present is preventing me
from getting to the future!

[trashcandroids reciting]
One, one o', one, one...

They're closing in.

Time Ape, do something!

[female voice] The time is now : p.m.

No, you silly simian!

Time is relative!

The Trashcandroid!

No!

[grunts]

Time Ape, press the button!

Righty crikey and tally-ho!

Time waits for no man.

Except for me!

♪ It's time for Dr. Zone! ♪

[giggling]

So, after your first
Doctor Zone Files marathon,

are you guys excited about the movie?

Excited and confused.

I'm ex-fused.

And I'm con-cited?

I know it's a lot of information
to assimilate, but it's worth it!

And Sara got us tickets
for today's show!

I'll just hold on to
these, little brother.

To prevent them getting, you know,

irradiated into particulate
matter or something.

Good idea!

My hand is asleep.

How I envy it.

The movie's not starting for
hours, right?

Yeah, but there's gonna
be a line already.

It's got years of fans.

Wait, years?

I thought we saw it all last night!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

That was just the latest incarnation,

Doctor Zone Files:
The Next Regeneration.

[Milo] First there was The Zone.

Then Dr Zone, Professor Zone,

and Adjunct Faculty Member Zone
that only lasted a semester.

And finally The Doctor
Zone Files that you know,

as of : this morning.

We just wanted to make
sure you're prepared.

Doctor Zone fans can be kind of elitist.

-More tea?
-Yes.

Oh, dear. What are those people wearing?

I'm just saying that if
you can't actually speak

the Trashcandroids binary language,

then you have no place in this line.

Oh, don't be such an elitist, Josh.

Today is gonna be my favorite day ever!

Unless something goes wrong.

Well, we made it to the theater.

What could possibly go wrong?

[train horn blaring]

Well, I have been Milo's
sister since he was born.

Oh. Right.

Which is why we're going in prepared!

Nothing is gonna ruin this day for me!

Exclamation point!

She really puts a lot
of faith in punctuation.

Clear.

No sign of any horrible
mishap on the horizon

"Name the alien monsters who eat your
brain and absorb your knowledge."

Pass. Pass.

Cere-broids. Come on, give me a tough one!

The tickets!

Oh, these are never
leaving my hand.

Now, who knows how to
fuse flesh and paper?

Pass.

I'm gonna go check in with
the local weather service

about any more freak breezes!

Time for danger!

Time for action!

-Time for... Diogee?
-[barks]

Oh, sorry, you can't come in with us,

but I did get you a ticket
for the pet theater next door.

They're playing The Dog Door Bone Files.

[barks]

[barking]

[sighs]

-This is crazy.
-I know.

How can he be a time traveler
and an alien and a cyborg?

No, no. Not that.

It's just been really
quiet around Milo today.

Eh, well. That's the thing about
Murphy's Law, it's unpredictable!

I've got the immediate
area cordoned off.

Now, if you can just
try not to do anything.

I'll go get my hazard
protection suit out of the car.

Do... Not... Lose...

Our... Place.

Sara, wait! I brought a spare!

So, is Time Ape an ape
with a clock for a head?

Or a clock with the body of an ape?

Ugh, I can't believe you newbies.

What does that make you, "Old-bies"?

Time Ape isn't a clock or an ape.

He's a trans- chronological being.

You see, while traveling through
the space time continuum,

Dr. Zone was sucked into
a rift of space time

where he met another time
traveler like himself.

But since this being was
not from our dimension,

his appearance would cause any
normal person's head to explode!

So for us to comprehend him, the Time
Ape took the form that we now know.

Wait, so you're saying that the form
that would be easier for us to comprehend

is an ape with a
clock for a head?

Would you want your head to explode?
Would you?

He's right. I'd rather look at
an ape with a clock for its head.

[sniffing]

-You hear that?
-[sniffing]

Yeah, it smells quiet.

Too quiet.

No disaster yet means an even
bigger disaster is coming!

Mmm. That's not necessarily true, but...

Time to be proactive.

Milo, why don't you wait near
that really cool dirt parking lot

and I'll call when it's time
to go into the movie, 'kay?

Or, I could get us some snacks?

[Sara gasps] Pistachios?

That's Dr. Zone's favorite nut!

You guys save our place.

Of course, that's just a theory,

but if you direct your attention
to this authoritative guide...

[Melissa reading]

Repetitive redundancy, nice.

Vintage.

Great costumes guys!

Costumes?

One bag of pistachios please.

It's pronounced, "Pistah-chio."

That's how she said it.

Don't speak to the customers.

I wasn't speaking to customers,
I was speaking to you.

You were speaking to customers.

[Cavendish] Well one of us has to speak
to the customers, but it shouldn't be you.

Uh-oh, looks like something
got jammed in that broiler.

You did that.

I was just standing here,
not talking to customers, but whoa!

Maybe that was it, Milo!

No more catastrophes today!

Um, maybe.

You guys okay?

Weird. They just disappeared.

Or did they?

[both] Bum, bum, bum.

The end, question mark.

Or, Dr. Zone's mom knew that, like,

their planet was going to explode.

Implode.

[Melissa] Right, so she wrapped
her babies in those blankets

that babies are always
escaping imploding planets in.

But the get-away rocket
only had room for one baby.

So the other baby was
caught in the implosion

and sucked into a time vortex

that turned him into a
trans-chronological being,

whose appearance would
make our heads explode.

So when he turned into the Time Ape,

it's because he was
already a Time Ape before!

Exactly!

Oh, see, that would make more sense!

And therefore,
Time Ape would be Dr. Zone's brother.

No. Now, that is ridiculous!

How is that more ridiculous
than your theory?

If Dr. Zone and the
Time Ape were brothers,

I would've figured it out by now.

[growling]

What is he doing?

I don't know. I'm really tired.

Hey, whoa, whoa.

Watch where you're pointing that
Zone Monkey Fighting Stance!

These poseurs don't
deserve to be here.

Newbies!

Now, just wait a minute.

Enough!

Newbies! Old-bies!

Lend me your ears!

Oh. No, not literally.

Look, no one gets to define the
parameters of what it means to be a fan.

We're not just fans of fantasy.

It's more than that.

It's about what fantasy
means to each of us.

Fantasy means, um...

"Fantaso" from the Greek which
means, "to show."

Exactly!
We're here today to show our love.

Because there's nothing better
than sharing something you love...

With someone you love.

[crowd murmuring in empathy]

[cheering]

Can you guys wrap it up?

Oh, sorry, Bertram.
I didn't see you there.

-Nice trashcandroid costume!
-Thanks...

Tickets please.

Hey, now, just wait a minute!

Enough!

I lost the tickets while I was
doing my inspirational speech.

[all gasping]

Uh, doesn't sound like your day.
Well, I've got mine.

You snooze, you lose. Coming through.

That's why I bought four extras...

It was all my fault.

I was so worried about Murphy's
Law messing things up...

Maybe next time, I just won't come.

I hate that idea.

I hate that idea, too.

I've already got enough
excitement in my life anyway.

After all, I saw a train
come through our backyard.

But what about the movie?

Eh. Seeing a movie on
opening day is overrated.

Also, clearly, very dangerous.

Just in case.

Nope.

Much better.

Well, Time Ape, once again
we've had the time of our lives.

After all, time is relative!

They are brothers!

She was right!

Newbie!

[chanting newbie]

What happened to the wall?

Wow, my backpack sure is heavy today!

What do you got in there?

[scoffs] Osmium?

Y'know, the densest element?

Periodic table. Boom!

Actually, it's a doctor's note.

The school lets me turn them in
in bulk at the end of the month,

that way the doctor only has
to sign the signature page,

instead of all the individual excuses.

Melissa keeps a record
of all my adventures.

So it makes it easier to catalog.

You keep a record?

Yeah, on my phone.

The kangaroos,
the tangerine fight at Mardi Gras,

the asteroid...

The llama incident...

Wait, so you've been taking
pictures this... Holy cow!

Yep, Milo gets around.

How long is your selfie-stick?

Anyway, I gotta turn
these bad boys in today,

or else I have a month of
unexcused absences and...

Stop! Milo.

Hi, Elliot!

How do you stop people
who aren't named Milo?

I don't turn the sign around.

[all] Oh!

Besides, there's only one person
in this town I need to stop.

And his middle name is danger.

-Is that true?
-[scoffs]

No. It's pronounced,
[in French accent] "Danger."

It's my grandmother's maiden name...

Enough! You have to do as I say!

And, as the duly appointed Public
Safety Czar, it is my job...

Um, your badge says,
"Volunteer Crossing Guard."

And this one says, "Ask me about
my Strawberry Waffle Supreme."

They're quite tasty and
they're half price this week!

Well, as delicious as that sounds, Elliot,

we have to go to school.

I have my eye on you, Murphy.

And I never rest.

In fact, I sleep with this stop sign.

If you never rest, how do you sleep?

Very restlessly!

-[all] Oh!
-[horn blaring]

[screaming]

Ahhh!

There's a water bug on the back of this!

Without that signature page,
you'll have a month of unexcused absences!

Holy cow. I'm gonna have to
repeat the seventh grade!

Don't worry, Milo!

We'll help you find that note!

But how? This is ridiculous,
I mean that note could be...

Oh, there it is. I'll get it.

Murphy's Law. Boom.

Are you gonna be saying that a lot?

I'm thinking about it.

After that note!

I'm watching you, Milo!

So, strawberry waffles?

[sighs] They're quite tasty
and half price this week...

[Milo] Hey, biker g*ng! Come back!

[Melissa]I don't think
you'd call them a g*ng.

[Milo] What's a group of biker's
then, a gaggle?

[Zack] I think it's a pod.

[Melissa] No, that's whales.

Oh, there it is! I got it!
I got it! What the...

What was that?

It looks like some
kind of spy drone.

What the devil,
is that a doctor's note?

Lieutenant, did you take a short
cut through the Murphy Sector?

I'm sorry, sir.

I just wanted to see if my brother-in-law
was using my lawn mower again.


Well? Was he?

Yeah, I got a sh*t of it.

Oh, that makes me so mad!

[Milo] Oh, great,
I'm covered in garbage again!

Milo, wouldn't it be easier just to
get your doctor to sign a new one?

It's Tuesday.
He's playing golf somewhere.

We'd never find him!

Excuse me, you're not a
doctor, are you?

No.

One, two, three, four, five...

It's on the seventh floor.

Come on!

[all panting]

Oh, no, there's paper everywhere!

I guess they haven't gone digital yet.

My note could be anywhere.

We'll find it! Come on, let's split up!

[grunts]

Excuse me, ma'am?

But would you mind lifting
up your coffee cup, please?

Thank you.

Oh, my gosh, this coffee
stain is a perfect likeness

of Frank Eugene Austin,
inventor of the ant farm.

It's a miracle!

I bet it has healing powers.

[woman] Oh, I want to see it!

[clamoring]

That's my doctor's note.

[fan whirring]

Seriously?

What? It was getting stuffy in here.

I don't believe it.

It's a ticker tape parade.

You sure you can't get your
doctor to sign a new note?

I told you. There's no way to find him.

Are you a doctor?

No.

That's it, it's over.

No, it's not over!

When we signed up
to be Milo's friend,

we knew it wouldn't be easy.

I don't remember
signing anything.

So are we going
to find that note?

That's a good question.

You're supposed to say, "Yes," Milo.

Well then. Yes!

That's the spirit!

[man] You doin' all right up there, sir?

Aw, I'm doing great!

You know what? I'd love a hamburger.

They don't have hamburgers in space.

The parade must be for that astronaut.

Oh, it's not for the astronaut.

This parade is celebrating the th
anniversary of ticker tape parades.

Then what's the astronaut for?

They're just giving him a ride somewhere.

Very slowly,
because he likes to sit up there.

[gasps] The astronaut's back!

Yes, I know he's back!
We all just saw him.

-No, I mean the...
-[Diogee barking]

[sniffs and barks]

Excuse me for a second, Zack.

-What is it, boy?
-[barks]

Hey, everybody!

Diogee found the note.

It's on the astronaut's back!

Eh. Fine.

Hey! Mr. Astronaut! Hey!

Hey! Can you hear me?
Hey! Can you hear me?

Hey! Hey!

Can you hear me? Hey!
Can you hear me?

-Larry! Open the door!
-[pop music playing]

I'm running out of air out here!

I never should have given
him those headphones!

[Colonel Niblet] Uh-oh.
Wilson is losing it.

We can't have him freaking out
in front of all those people!

Use the Disintegration Ray!

[powering up]

Uh, sir? We could just
drive him out of the parade.

He'll be fine once he gets his hamburger.

You're right, Lieutenant.

Ugh! And to think of all
the parade astronauts

that I've unnecessarily disintegrated.

Stand down, soldier.

Aw!

Don't worry, sir.

We'll get you that hamburger soon.

Awesome. 'Cause they don't
have hamburgers in space.

There!

I got it, I got it, I got it!

Milo! Look out!

Oh, well.

Have fun in high school, guys.

No. You know the middle school code.
No one gets left behind.

Boom!

That's right. I'm going after it.

Wow, that's going a lot
slower than I thought.

After that slow-moving street sweeper!

Okay, could be worse.

How? How could this be worse?

Eh, you could accidentally
get your head caught

in a helicopter door that
flies you out of the ocean

where it drops you straight
into a pod of ravenous orca

that rip you apart leaving
nothing but your bones

for the hungry crabs in the inky
depths at the bottom of the ocean.

Wow. I mean...

Yeah, I'm...
I'm not sure how to respond to that.

Aw, come on, ya babies.

That's great!

My foot is stuck!

And I'm about to be
shredded and recycled.

Oh, no. That's not great.

The being shredded part,
not the recycling part.

Because recycling is an important way
to...

[Melissa] Milo!

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry! On my way!

Here I come, Melissa!

Don't worry I'm...

Ahhh!

I'll get there. Don't worry!

I'm worrying.

You know, I bet that whole
thing with the helicopter

and the orcas is looking
pretty good right now.

Okay, that was kinda awesome.

Doctor's note. Boom.

Melissa, you've got the note!

"Please excuse

"Lola Sundergard"?

This isn't my note!

Who is Lola Sundergard?

Oh, great!
You found my doctor's note!

Thanks!

Bam!

Well, I... I guess we're gonna be going.

Yeah, us too, uh...

-Bye!
-Bye!

-Hey.
-Hey.

-Hey.
-Hey.

-[barks]
-[oinks]

Diogee! Where did you get this?

Hey! It's your doctor's note!

Life has a strange
way of working out.

Good boy, Diogee.

Well, we have plenty of time
to turn in these doctor's...

Stop!

Hang on a second, this was...
This was just working.

We're just trying to get to school.

Why can't you leave us alone?

Because Milo is a danger to this town,

and I'm going to protect it from him.

I'm like the wind.

I'm everywhere and nowhere.

You're never going to see me...

Okay, wow.

That was impressive.

Yeah, I don't know how you did
that, Elliot,

but we're going to go to school now.

So, see you tomorrow. Okay?

Sorry, sir. I... I thought...

Ugh. Please tell me we
have a re-integration ray?

Yes, sir. I just flip this switch, sir.

Wait a minute, what just happened?

Last thing I remembered,
I was in a parade.

Listen, I have a confession to make.

Yeah, what?

I am a doctor.

You... Why didn't you
just tell me the truth?

II wanted you to like me for who I am.

Well, it totally worked!
