Buzz:
faster, boss!

Those earthbrats
are gettin' away!

Hacker:
with my new zap-n-snap trap

They're as good as mine!

(Evil laugh)

You sure it'll work,
boss?

It comes with
a foolproof guarantee!

Of course it'll work!

Jackie:
oh no!

Digit:
no need to panic,
earthlies.

Things are
about to heat up!

Hacker:
impossible!

I can't believe it!

Uh-oh.

You won't believe this,
either.

Delete:
we're melting!

All:
ahhhhhhhhh...

This is a bad one,
dude!

It's like,
molecular mush!

What did you do,
run into a melt-a-beam?

Hacker:
just fix it!

And do it quick!

Mechanic:
whoa! What's this?

Looks like some leftover
zap-n-snap trap!

Well, I hope you didn't buy
that foolproof guarantee

That came with it,
dude.

Only fools buy that.

(Laughs)

Yeah, he did buy it!
Right, boss?

Zip it, you despicable
duncebucket!

It wasn't our fault,
boss.

It's those kids that
are drivin' you cuckoo!

You're right!

It's time to get rid of them
once and for all!

Oooh, and speaking of time,

I know just how to do it!

Let's go!

Not so fast,
dude!

The grim wreaker
ain't goin' nowhere.

But I can give you
a loaner.

Those kids will pay for this -
big time!

Slider:
cool.

Hacker:
hello, slider.

How totally rad
to see you again!

Slider:
totally not, hacker!

I was thinking,

We need to spend
some time together.

So I'm inviting you
to take a little trip with us.

Slider:
I'm busy.

Hacker:
too bad.

I insist.

Hacker:
after him!

Gotcha!

Motherboard:
hacker has captured
slider.

Jackie:
how awful.

Inez:
poor slider!

Motherboard:
taking him to tick tockia.

Oh, no!
Not tick tockia!

Motherboard:
must enter tick tockia
through a crinkle in time...

Maybe never return.

Inez:
but slider's our friend.

We have to help him!

Matt:
if there's a way in
to tick tockia,

There must be a way out!

How do we get there,
mother b?!

Go to clock rock.

At : ,
follow the cuckoo

And you'll end up
in tick tockia!

Digit:
there it is -
clock rock,

The gateway to tick tockia!

Matt:
I see the rock,
but where's the clock?

Digit:
believe me,
you won't miss it.

Inez:
whoa! That clock is enormous!

Matt:
where's tick tockia?

Digit:
on the other side
of the clock!

But we just came
from the other side

And there's
nothing there!

That's the weird
part!

You go through
the cuckoo door,

And you're someplace
you never knew was there!

Oh! Careful, didge!

Don't fly too-

(Crash)

Digit:
sorry, guys.

Everyone okay?

Matt:
I think so.

Jackie:
oh, no! We broke the clock!

Inez:
we've got to fix it,

Or we can't get inside
to save slider!

Matt:
the top gear's still working!

Digit:
can't say the same
for the pod -

It's busted!

Jackie:
which means we can't use it
to get up to the cuckoo!

What'll we do?!
What'll we do?!

Digit:
never fear,

The flying didge is here!

I'll pull you up!

Grab on!

Inez:
it's not long enough!

We need another way up!

Matt:
if we could figure out a way
to reach the top gear,

We could ride it up
to the cuckoo!

Inez:
if both gears were turning,

Maybe we could ride this one
up to the other one!

Matt:
good idea...

But how do we
get it to turn?

Jackie:
hang on!

These gears look
just like the big ones!

See how the teeth
fit together?

Matt:
what's this do?

Inez:
hey! Both gears are turning!

Jackie:
look!

When one gear turns,

Its teeth push
on the other one's teeth!

Matt:
and that makes
the other gear turn!

So that's it!

As long as the teeth
mesh together,

One gear will turn the other!

How cool is that?!

Digit:
excuse me!

Any brilliant ideas
down there?

We're runnin' out of time!

Inez:
if we can get this back
on the shaft

So the teeth mesh.

I bet the upper gear
will make the lower one turn!

Jackie:
sounds like a plan to me!

We need some help!

Got it, buckaroos!

Now... Lift!

(Grunts of effort)

(Grunts of effort)

Matt:
all right!

The teeth mesh!

Both gears are turning!

Jackie:
and the clock is ticking again!

We're good to go!

Just one problem.

How do we get
from one gear to the other?

Digit:
observe the master!

Every time the lower gear
turns...

It meets this peg
on the upper gear...

And you can ride it
all the way up to the top!

Jackie:
way to go, didge!

Inez:
we can do it!

Jackie:
I'll go first!

Uh-oh...

Whew! Thanks, didge!

Matt:
awesome!

Hurry, inez!

It's almost : !

I have to do this...

I have to do this.

I have to do it
for slider.

(Clock rings)

(Cuckoo)

All:
we're in the crinkle!

Hacker:
my profound plan
has worked to perfection!

Thanks to you,
slider,

Digit and the kids
are gone forever!

(Laughter)

(Cuckoo)

Jackie:
wow! We went in
one side of the clock,

And came out the other!

Inez:
into a completely
different world!

(Alarm beeps)

(Cuckoo)

Digit:
at least this side
of the clock

Is the same as
the other side!

You can ride the gears down

The same way you got up.

Matt:
here we come, didge!
Hangin' ten.

Hacker:
all we have to do now
is wait!

If those mindless moppets

Aren't out of tick tockia
by : ,

They'll never get out!

(Evil chuckle)

(Snoring)

Jackie:
we have to find someone
who's seen slider.

Matt:
excuse me, sir?

Stop watch:
no excuses, sir.

When you're late,
you're late.

This is one stop watch
that can't stop.

But we only need
a second!

We're looking
for our friend, slider.

Haven't seen him.
Can't help you find him.

Don't know who he is!

C'mon,
give us a hand.

Please?

Matt:
time out!

There must be somebody
we can ask.

Stop watch:
ask father time!

He knows everyone
in tick tockia.

Where is he?

Where do we find him?

Up the mountain,
at the old gearzers home.

Fastest way there is by train,
over that-a-way.

Inez:
great!

Jackie:
thanks!

Digit:
over here!

Jackie:
hit it, didge!

Digit:
there's nothin' to hit!

No key! No switch!

How does this train work?

Wind up toy:
it doesn't!

Gotta fix it!
Wrench? Gear?

I wish I knew!

Inez:
are you saying
the train's broken?

Yes. Won't move.

Me, either!

Matt:
we gotta wind him up!

Wind up toy:
the train!
The train!

Must fix!
But can't.

So sorry.

Inez:
this is hopeless!

Maybe we can fix
the train ourselves?!

C'mon! It's our only chance
to find slider.

Jackie:
hey, when the wheels turn,

So does this gear!

Which means
when the gear turns

So will the wheels!

Inez:
but we can't push
the train up the mountain!

And whatever turns the gear
is missing.

Jackie:
we need something
to turn it!

Digit:
how about this?!

Jackie:
there's no place to put it!

We need something else!

Inez:
maybe we can turn it
with another gear!

The clock had two gears,
remember?

One pushed the other!

Sheesh!

I gotta do everything.

Bingo!

Another gear!

Matt:
way to go, didge!

And this one's
even got handles

To crank it with!

Gears meshed...
Crank it!

Whoa!
We're going the wrong way!

Matt:
look at that!

When two gears mesh,

They turn in opposite
directions!

Then we have to crank
backwards

So the train
goes forward.

Can't you go any faster?

We're cranking
as fast as we can!

Oh, man,

It'll take forever to get
to the top of the mountain

At this speed.

Digit:
I don't get it.

You're turnin' the small gear
really fast,

But the big gear
is goin' really slow!

Hmmm.

And the big gear is
the one turning the wheels.

Digit:
maybe a little grease
will speed things up!

Matt:
guess what?

When the little gear goes
around once,

The big gear
only goes around half-way!

Inez:
no wonder we're
working so hard!

The small gear
has to go around twice,

Before the big gear
goes around once!

Huh!

When two gears
are different sizes,

They turn
at different speeds.

Who knew?

Matt:
these gears have different
numbers of teeth, too.

Six teeth
on the small gear.

, , , , ...

On the big one!

More teeth must mean

The gear has farther
to go around.

And that's why it goes slower!

So the fewer the teeth

The faster it turns!

Jackie:
hmmm.

That gives me an idea!

Let's switch the gears

So the small one
is on the bottom!

That way, it'll turn the wheels
twice as fast!

Great!
Let's do it!

You know, if twice the teeth
is twice as fast,

Why not use a gear with three
times as many teeth?!

Matt:
why not four times
the number of teeth?

That would be even faster!

And x is...

!

Jackie:
so we need a gear
with teeth.

(Metallic clanking)

Digit:
a -toother!

Matt:
crank it up, didge!

Jackie:
man, look 'em go now!

(Cheering)

Hacker:
(groans) more minutes,

And I'll never see
those kids again.

(Laughs)

Don't be so sure,
hacker!

You know, slider,

You remind me
of your father.

You should know.

You were the last one
to see him!

Are you suggesting
I had something to do

With his disappearance?

Did you?

Hacker:
(chuckles)

That's for me to know
and you to find out!

Yeah!
Him to know.

You to find out!

(They laugh)

Zip it!

I've been thinking, slider.

Since you and those earthbrats
are such good pals,

I think you should join them
in tick tockia!

I don't think so!

Slider!

Buzz:
boss!

Delete:
he's getting away!

Inez:
old gearzers home.

This is it!

(Rings doorbell)

Matt:
wait!

We forgot
to set the brake!

Digit:
whoopsie.

(Doorbell rings)

Grandfather clock:
come in!

Oooh,
we have company!

Oh, welcome, dears!

We don't get many visitors
in tick tockia.

But you've "wound up"
in the right place

If you're lookin'
for someone to "tock" to!

(Laughing)

Grandfather clock:
how about this one:

When does a clock get sick?

When it's run down!

(Laughing)

Matt:
I have one!

Why did the boy throw
his clock out the window?

He wanted to see time fly!

(Laughing)

Thank you...
Thank you very much!

Matt,
no jokes, okay?

We have to find
father time!

That's me.

How can I help you?

We're looking
for our friend slider,

From radopolis.

I know everyone
in tick tockia!

No one here
named slider.

But hacker said
he was here!

Seems to me
you kids have been tricked!

We gotta get
out of here!

Father time:
you can't leave
'til the clock strikes : ,

And the cuckoo
opens the door.

That's when the crinkle in time
is open.

But getting in
is a lot easier

Then getting out.

Matt:
you mean, by the time
we get through

The crinkle on this side,

It will be too late
to get out the other side?!

Father time:
yep. If the door's already shut,

You'll have to stay
in the crinkle forever.

I won't believe there's
no way out! I can't!

There has to be a way,

And we're gonna find it!

Better hurry!

It'll be :
in minutes!

Inez:
is there any way
you can help us

Get back to the big clock,
fast?!

I think
I can arrange that.

(Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo)

Matt:
cuckoo is right.

Jackie:
I said enough with the jokes.

Hacker:
in nine minutes,

Those do-good kids

And that no-good bird

Will be history!

As for slider,
he served his purpose!

Good riddance, I say!

But boss...

We're not rid of him!

He's back!

What?!

I won't let that
skateboarding scallywag

Ruin my plans!

Ahhhh!

Buzz:
boss! Don't!

Delete:
stop!

(Cuckoo)

Digit:
hurry! We're running
out of time!

We have seven minutes
to figure a way to get out.

(Cuckoo)

Okay,
what do we know?

We know we have
to be up there

When the clock
strikes nine.

Digit:
we can do that!

And we need to be
on the other side

Of the crinkle
at nine as well.

That we can't do!

We can't be in two places
at the same time!

Matt:
unless...

It isn't the same time
in both places!

Inez:
but that's not possible!

Matt:
it is if we change
the time on this clock,

So it reaches nine here

Before it reaches nine
on the other side!

I guess that plan
could work,

But change time?

How do we do that?

Hacker:
your hero days are over,
slider!

Digit:
yoikes! Only five minutes left!

Come on already,
think time is up!

Yes,
we can change time!

Matt and inez:
how?

By changing the gears
on the clock!

Right now, the clock
has two identical gears:

Same size,
same number of teeth,

Same speed.

But we know
from fixing the train,

That gears
of different sizes

Turn at different speeds!

Inez:
yeah!

If we put a big gear on top

And a small one on the bottom
with half as many teeth,

The little gear will turn twice
as fast as the big one!

Matt:
and the hands of the clock
will move twice as fast!

It'll be nine here

Before it's nine
on the other side!

Digit:
it's brilliant!

Except for one thing.

Where do we find a pair of
different sized gears?

(Cuckoo)

Hacker:
do you really think
a mere boy like you

Can stop the hacker?

I don't know,

But maybe I can stop time!

Okay, boids,
switch it!

(Cheers)

It worked!

The little gear
is turning faster!

Inez:
time is moving faster, too!

Matt:
and we gotta get up
to the ledge!

Help!

(Cuckoo)

Hacker:
it's one minute before : ,
slider.

You've lost!

Victory is within
my grasp!

Yeow!

(Cuckoo)

All:
we're back!

Nooooo!

All:
boss!

Jackie and inez:
slider!

Slider:
you guys okay?

Yeah.

We thought you were
in tick tockia.

I know.
Sorry about that.

Jackie:
we're so glad you're okay,
too, slider.

Inez:
yeah, we thought we might
never see you again!

Well, uh, you know...
Everything's cool.

Not for hacker.

He's probably up at
the old gearser's home by now!

(Laughing)

Buzz:
you think we'll ever see
the boss again?

I don't know,
buzzy.

But so far
I don't miss him.

Yeah.
Me, neither!

Hey, let's see

If the wreaker's
ready to rumble!

(Chuckles)

(Clock chimes)

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo.
