02x13 - A Time to Cook

[bunniefuu]

Okay, there's this really
bad dude named hacker --

Hacker: the hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[ Gasp ]
the three kids
are sucked into cyberspace,

And they use brain power
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
okay, here's the plan.

So they travel
all over and run into all these

Weird creatures...and have all
of these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never!
Matt: there's only one way
to find out!

Tune in
to "cyberchase"!

Eatin'
hacker at his game. *

* Don't tell me that he's trying
to hack the motherboard, *

* We'll get him every time.

* Cosmic worlds,
freaky places that we've seen, *

* We got the power
of one, two, three, four! *

* Runnin' in a cyberchase,

* We'll meet him face to face.

* We'll stick together
all the time! *

* Adventures in cyberspace *

The chase is on!

* Just wait and
c-y-b-e-r-chase! *

Hacker:
soon my magnificent magnitube

Will beam a signal into
motherboard

That will bring her circuits
to a complete stop!

But boss, if you do that

Motherboard won't work
anymore!

Ugh...
Lower the golden conduit!

Delete:
you mean this golden tube
thingie?

Yes, that golden tube thingie!
Lower it!

Delete:
right away, boss! No problem.

Now let's see.

The boss said
to plug this in here

Or was it in here?
Ugh!

Delete:
yikes!

My plan is ruined!

My golden conduit is shattered!

Where will I get another one?

Mc:
and anyone who can out-cook
the fearless chef

Will win the golden cyberchef
award!

Hmmm. That golden hat
just might work!

Mc:
strap yourselves in,
cooking fans,

It's time for
the fearless chef!

Top chefs from around
cyberspace

Compete by cooking fantastic
cuisine in perilous places!

Now here's your host,
chairman delicacy!

(Clapping and cheering)

Today's contestants will be
cooking from outrageous places,

Where our special borg-cams
will bring all the action

Right into your living rooms!

They'll be cooking at:
windjammer plateau!

Glacier pointe!

And volcano island!

Let's meet our courageous
contestants.

The challenger is a borg
we all know as chef hacker!

And his assistant chef, buzz!

Hacker:
surf's up!

Buzz:
whoa! Oh! Aie!

Ow!

Squaring off against
chef hacker

Is the reigning champion,
the fearless chef!

Hacker:
well, I guess he's not here.

Too bad, I win.
The hat's mine!

Oh, not so fast!

I've just been told we have
a last minute substitution!

Direct from motherboard
control central,

We have chef digit le boid,

And his assistant chef,
mathew...

Matt:
hang ten, didge!

Digit:
I'm hangin' everything I can,
matty!

Crowd:
(cheers)

What are you doing here,
you seasick cyberturkey?

Hee hee.

For those of you
who don't know,

Digit is cyberworld's latest
cooking sensation.

His book, "cookin' with
the didge"

Is currently topping
the charts!

Hacker:
what? He couldn't fry an egg!

Matt:
we'll see about that, hacker!

Oh well, well.

Looks like our competition

Already has a little spice
added to it.

Let the culinary battle begin!

You each will have sixty-two
minutes.

That's one hour and two minutes
to cook a delectable dish

From each site
and present it to me.

At the end, I will taste
the food and declare a winner!

The first dish is a stew,

And you will begin at
windjammer plateau!

The clock is running,

And it's time to cook!

Cooking and racing...
I love this show!

Jackie:
cook up a storm, didge!

Now, let's find
that fearless chef!

Both:
huh?

Motherboard:
fearless chef located...

Jackie:
where is he, mother b?

Motherboard:
grim wreaker,
northern frontier.

Figures!
Hacker's got him!

Motherboard:
must rescue.
Not much time.

No kidding!
Gotta portal!

Inez:
next stop,
the northern frontier!

How much time has passed
since we left?

It's after : (:) now.

We left at : sharp
so that's ten minutes.

We haven't even cooked
the first dish!

Matt:
what kind of stew
are you going to make?

Digit:
my famous cyber-beet stew.

Uh, make that just plain stew.

Hacker:
a bit blustery up here,

But a lovely view,
don't you think?

Boss, uh, shouldn't you
start cookin'?

Cook? Me? (Laughs)

Boss, if you don't
start cookin'

How you gonna win
that golden hat thing?

Hacker:
by cheating and sabotage,
my dear buzz!

I already ordered from
stews-to-go!

Tantalizingly tangy!

Now it's time
for a little sabotage.

I was hoping
you'd say that!

Cool blender, didge!

Mm. Perfecto!
Give me a pot!

I have to cook this baby
for five minutes.

This ticker-clicker measures
my cooking time

Minute by minute!

When it reaches zero minutes,

We've got ourselves
a cyber-stew!

Mm. Better kick it up a notch.
Bam! Bam! Bam!

Didge, why do you think hacker
wants that golden cyberchef
award so badly?

Digit:
motherboard doesn't know.

She just knows he wants it
and we gotta stop him.

How long has this been cooking?

Matt:
uh! The timer's gone!

It must've blown away!

Now my timing's off!
We gotta start over!

But without my timer,

How will I know when
five minutes are up?

We can use my clock.

That only tells us
what time it is now!

Yeah, but the hands do
the same thing a timer does-

They show how time passes.

They do?

Matt:
sure. When the hands move from
one minute to the next

They tell me one minute
has gone by.

I just figure the time
on the clock when we start,

And count forward five minutes.

Oh yeah?

If we start cooking at :,
in five minutes it'll be--

:, :, :, :, :!

We stop cooking at :!

Start cooking!

Digit:
start watching your clock!

Jackie:
all clear!

Inez:
(gasp) it's the fearless chef!

Digit:
how much time has gone by?

It's :. We've been
cooking for four minutes.

Make that :!
Five minutes!

Mm. Oh yeah!
This is it, baby!

Chairman delicacy:
ah-ha! (Laugh)

Chef digit's stew is done
and it smells scrumptious!

And hacker's stew is done
as well!

The salad is next!

They've used minutes so far!
To go!

Faster!
They're way ahead of us!

Not for long, boss!

Baa-aa-aa.

Digit:
look out!

Matt:
the brakes don't work!

Matt and digit:
ahhhhh!

Matt and digit:
ahhhhh!

Digit:
I got it.

Matt:
now this is cool!

Digit:
look! Glacier pointe!

Hang on, we've got a salad
to toss!

If we can just get delete
to come out here

We can go in
and rescue the chef.

Hmmm. I've got it!

Important cyber delivery
for mister delete!

Delete:
cyber delivery, for me?
Coming!

Delete:
hello? Cyber delivery guy?
It's me, mister delete.

Hello? Where are you?

Good job, inez!

Inez:
we're inez and jackie.

Motherboard sent us
to rescue you.

I am the fearless chef!

I don't need to be rescued!

We can see that.

But let us do it anyway.

Hmmm. Wonder what this is?

Delete:
oh well, I guess nobody was
there.

Inez:
it's delete. Come on!

How rude.

Hey! Hey, chef!
Where are you?

Digit:
you dice and slice.

I'll peel and puree
the seaweed.

It makes a great dressing!

Hacker:
ah, nothing like a hot cup of
cocoa to warm up the circuitry.

Cybersalad?

Uh, yeah, I want a fruit salad!

Yes! To go!

Chairman delicacy:
weatherflash!

Big blizzard due to hit
at :!

You must finish your salads by
then or be snowed in forever!

Cybersalads?
Make it snappy!

Matt:
snowed in by :?

It's already :!

And I still need to frappe
the puree!

How much time do I have?

We know what time it is now,

And we know what time
we have to finish by.

I'll just count the minutes
in between.

:...
:...

Oh, man, I can't count the
minutes with these mittens on

And it's too cold
to take them off!

Digit:
there's gotta be another way
to figure out the time!

Matt:
of course! I don't have
to count each minute

I just need to know
the difference between

The time when I start
and the time when I stop.

I can subtract!

Subtract what from what?
I gotta know now!

Sorry.

Matt:
well, since :
is later than :

To find the difference,
I put the stop time on the top

And subtract the start time
from that.

: Minus : is...

Sixteen!

We have sixteen minutes
before the blizzard hits.

I only need fifteen!
Cut the carrots!

Matt:
oh, great! Hungry penguins,
just what we need!

Digit:
hey, can't let my fellow birds
go without.

Here you go, guys.

Jackie:
we just have to slide down
the rope to the ground,

And we can get out of here
and back to the show!

Fearless chef:
(gulp) that is a long way down!

Inez:
I've seen you cook in way more
difficult situations than this.

Um, sometimes on the show,
I uh, I have a stunt double.

Jackie:
you mean someone else does all
that dangerous stuff for you?

Uh-huh.

Inez:
how often?

Fearless chef:
well, all the time.

Got'cha!

I'm ready to frappe the puree!

How much more time do I have?

Matt:
it's :!

Three minutes left till the
blizzard hits us full force!

Digit:
the salad will be done in two.

Send it down now!

Cooking is such hard work.

Chairman delicacy:
chef hacker's fruit salad
has arrived

And it looks recklessly
refreshing!

Ah ha, chef digit just
b*at the blizzard!

A sweet and sour salad with
special seaweed sauce!

Yum!

Minutes have passed!

Only minutes left!

C'mon,
we're just going to make it!

They'll never reach
volcano island now.

The golden cyberchef award
is all but mine!

Buzz:
all done, boss.

Digit:
what was that?

The ice is cracking!

Matt and digit:
help!

Digit:
if we don't do something
quick

We'll both be popsicles!

Matt:
the penguins!

I didn't know you could
speak penguin.

Digit:
there's a lot about me
you don't know, matty.

I asked them to push us
to volcano island!

Matt:
woo-hoo!

Jackie:
you've got to let us go,
delete.

It's not fair!

You want to be fair, don't you?

If I let you go,

Then the boss won't win
the golden cyberchef award

And he needs it for his
magnitube thingie

To stop motherboard!

Jackie:
so that's why hacker
wants that hat!

Fearless,
we gotta get outta here!

You're big and strong,
bend open these bars!

Fearless chef:
are you serious?

I could pull
a muscle doing that.

I have to warm up first.

Inez:
then break the lock!

You can do it!

Fearless chef:
gee, i... I'd like to,
but my wrist is k*lling me.

I hurt it flipping pancakes
last week.

Jackie:
oh, brother!
This guy is hopeless.

Chairman delicacy:
minutes gone;
just fifteen minutes to go!

Hacker:
as your new champion,

The golden cyberchef award
will be safe with me.

Buzz:
boss! Look!

Hacker:
what? But how?

Nice try, hacker,
but no chef's hat!

Digit:
yeah, the didge is back
and ready to make

His famous cyber-souffle!

We'll see whose souffle
wins the day!

Hello? Souffles-to-go?

Hello? Hello?! Arg!

What is it, boss?

My phone doesn't work!

So much for the call anywhere
from anywhere plan!

I'll have to make my own
souffle!

Digit:
sugar. It needs sugar!

Now comes the hard part--
cooking it.

The souffle has to cook
for exactly minutes.

Not a moment earlier or later!

And we have to be very,
very quiet.

Matt:
why?

Digit:
once the souffle is in the oven
any loud noise will flatten it!

Matt:
okay, we need to know
what time it'll be

When minutes
have gone by.

No biggie.

What time does your watch
say right now?

Right now it's :.

Digit:
so I'll just add twelve
minutes to :.

And that gives me...
:!

There's no such time
as :!

There's not?

No, there's not. (Gasp)

Yoikes!

Now what do we do?

I was gonna count forward
on the clock.

Don't panic, okay?

The clockface may be gone

But we still have the minutes
marked on this strip.

Oh, yeah. I see.

It sorta looks like a ruler,
but it measures time!

Right! We can use these marks
to show the minutes in an hour.

Here's :, : and :.

We put the souffle in at :,
which is right here

And count forward,
five, ten minutes...

Now we're at :.

Add two more minutes...

And that takes us to...
:!

That's why my addition
was weird!

These are telling time numbers
not just plain old numbers!

Exactly!

: Is really
one whole hour after :,

Plus two minutes.

The take out time
is :!

All we have to do is wait
and watch the clock

Till it's ten-o-two.

Except the clock is busted!

Shhh! But this one isn't!

Fearless chef:
there's no way out.
We're trapped.

The fearless chef
is history.

Jackie:
does this guy ever stop?

Inez:
jackie, give me your scrunchie!

But I just got this one!

You want to stay here forever
with the fearless chef?

Here!

Cool.

Jackie:
ew!

Inez:
got it!

Jackie:
as matt would say,
"she sh**t, she scores!"

Inez:
we're out of here!

So you think it's safe
to leave?

Digit:
the souffle looks great!

Matt:
the question is, will it
get cooked before we do?

Digit and matt:
the souffle!

(Pfffft)

Digit:
it's caving in!

Maybe there's a way to put
the air back into it,

Like fixing a flat tire!

Wait! There is a way.

But I need to know exactly
how much cooking time is left!

Matt:
it's :!

The time we have left
is the difference between

The stop time, :,

And the start time,
now, :!

I'll subtract it!

: From :
leaves... Oh, boy!

How can I take fifty-six
minutes from two minutes?

Remember,
these aren't ordinary numbers

They're telling time numbers!

Let's use the timeline.
Here we are at :.

Now count the minutes forward
to , , , ...

Now, add the two minutes past
the hour: , .

Digit:
yoikes! We've got minutes
left!

Gimme some room, matty!

If I put exactly one squirt
of water into the souffle

For each of the six minutes
left,

It should puff this baby,
right up!

Buzz:
bad news, boss!

That silly cyberturkey
is pumpin' up his souffle!

My souffle will be puffier and
tastier than his will ever be!

In a matter of minutes,
that golden hat will be mine.

And motherboard will
be immobilized.

Matt:
it hasn't risen yet!

And there's less than
a minute to go!

Just tell me when
the cooking time is up!

Matt:
take it out!

Digit:
le souffle!

Buzz:
boss, boss!

What?

Buzz:
it's past the time
to take out your souffle!

Hacker:
what? Why didn't you say so?

Chairman delicacy:
time's up!

Sixty two minutes have elapsed

And the contest
is officially over.

Chef digit's souffle
has arrived.

Chef hacker's has not.

Hacker:
but the hacker has!

I'll take this!

Bon appetit!

Chairman delicacy:
stop him!

Fearless chef:
whoa! Yeow!

Inez:
time's up, hacker.

Hacker:
yeow!

Chairman delicacy:
ah-ha!

Chef digit, you have
survived the dangers

And your food is delicious!

The golden cyberchef
award is yours!

Inez:
way to go, didge!

Matt:
cyberspace is safe!

Digit:
I owe it all to motherboard.

The recipe for the souffle
is hers!

And the only thing that
got flattened was hacker!

Hacker:
get off of me,
you lopsided lummox!

The fearless chef is back!
