The Trouble with Centigurps Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olive. This is my partner Agent Otto.

This is my lucky pencil -

But back to Otto and me.

We work for an organisation run by kids

then investigate anything strange, weird and, especially, odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

The weird thing is, I'm really happy.

Not to worry, sir. We got this.

Oh.

Thank you, Odd Squad.

Have a good day, sir. Let's go.

-I'm Slappy The Sun, and I'll always be with you.

-What?

# Slappy and Derek, we're best friends

# Slappy and Derek, friends who never end. #

Odd Squad! I can't live like this.

Hi, Derek. I'm Slappy.

I'm your new best friend, hooray!

-Lovely.

-I love you.

-Yeah, great.

# Slappy and Derek... #

You wanted to see us, Ms O?

Yes, something very odd has happened.

A giant goldfish is attacking the harbour.

Olive, activate your suit for water travel.

On it, Ms O.

So, that's what these things do!

Cool.

Otto!

Yeah, Ms O. What have you got for me?

Take this down to storage...

But that's not fair.

..and whatever you do, don't open it.

So unfair. Just stick the new guy with all the boring jobs.

FAINT PURRING FROM CONTAINER

What was that?

Whatever you do, don't open it.

But I want to.

-Don't.

-Come on, just a little peek.

Yeah, go ahead. I'm just a dream anyway.

Aww, so cute!

-Close that box.

-Why?

It's a centigurp.

If it's exposed to light too long, that one little guy will become...

..100 little guys.

-Oh, no.

-You have to tell Ms O.

-No, please don't.

If Ms O find out I messed this up,

she'll never let me battle a goldfish.

-Haven't you ever made a mistake?

-Not...

Oh, yeah. The haircut was a pretty big mistake.

-I'll help you find the centigurps.

-Thank you.

So, what do we do?

Best look for spheres, centigurps love spheres.

-You know - round, little ball-shaped objects?

-Yeah.

-I know where to go, follow me.

-OK.

Where did they go?

Stay there.

Got another one!

Come on.

-I got two more.

-Thank you.

OK, zap them back into one.

That's not how centigurps work, we need all 100.

How many do we have?

One...two...three... Was that...?

-One...two... No, that...

-I can't count.

Hang on.

No, where are you going? Don't leave me with these things.

Argh!

This box will hold ten centigurps each.

If we just fill the box, we won't have to count

cos we'll know it's ten.

I can't hear what you're saying...

but OK!

So, we have ten in each box.

That means we have 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

50 centigurps.

Right, and if we started with 100...

and now we have 50...

We have 50 left to go. We're halfway done.

But where are we going to find other spheres?

I kind of think better with gum.

-You do?

-I do?

-You do.

-I do!

What are we talking about?

That gumball is a sphere.

Where did you get it?

There's this really good gumball machine in Belgium.

There's also one over there.

-Do you have any quarters?

-Always.

Oscar!

Ms O! What are you doing here?

Getting some gum.

How about some chocolate? It's warm and melty from my pocket.

I will say this,

you know how I like my chocolate.

HE EXHALES

Well, what are you waiting for?

Come help me out.

So, we ran out of larger boxes.

How many do we have now?

-These boxes hold five centigurps each.

-So we count by fives?

Right. So we have 50,

and then we count 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80.

Come on...

Still not 100.

There's still some more out there.

-We're going to have to do a lot more running around, aren't we?

-Oh, yeah.

Let's go.

This whole thing is powered by a cantaloupe?

Oh, yeah.

Agent Orchid, we need that centigurp.

This is not a centigurp. This is Sherman and he's mine.

No, you don't understand.

No, YOU don't understand.

I'm not giving him to you.

What if we give you something for him, like this yo-yo?

Look at all the tricks that you can do.

I find them very underwhelming.

What do you want for the centigurp?

Well, if you asked me that before I met Sherman,

I would have told you I needed everything -

but now, I don't need a thing.

Look, Agent Orchid,

I know this is a bit hard for you to understand,

but Sherman is actually just one out of the other 100 Shermans,

and I bet his brothers and sisters miss him a whole lot

and wish they could see him.

-How about some cash?

-Ooh!

Deal!

-CENTIGURP SQUAWKS

-Let's go.

-That works too.

OK, so we had 80 and then we put some more into these boxes.

These hold two each,

so I can just count by twos.

82, 84, 86, 88, 90,

92, 94, 96, 98.

Argh! Still two centigurps!

Where? We looked everywhere.

-Oh, no.

-What? What?

I just remembered what Ms O brought for lunch today.

-What?

-Spaghetti and...

meatballs!

Mmm. That sounds delicious!

Don't you get it, man?!

Meatballs are spheres!

I'll be right back.

I'll just stay here then.

Oh, juice.

Oscar?

Yeah, yeah, Ms O, what's up? Yeah.

Did you just throw my lunch away?

I make mistakes sometimes.

I... Remember that haircut?

Enough said.

-Did you get them?

-I got one.

-What?

-The other one got away.

BOTH: There it is!

If only we had a sphere to get its attention.

We do.

CENTIGURP SQUAWKS

Come on.

Come on, little centigurp.

Over here, come on.

Come on, little centigurp.

-We did it!

-Yeah!

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

-Chest bump!

-No, no, no.

OK.

CENTIGURPS SQUEAK

Would you like to do the honours?

CENTIGURP PURRS INNOCENTLY

You know, this was actually one of my easier days.

-Hi, Otto.

-Hey, Octavia.

Is this the storage room?

Yep.

Where do you store everything?

It's complicated.

Anyways, here's a centigurp box.

-Thanks.

-No problem.

Ms O had you deliver a centigurp box?

Yeah, why?

I was here for years and years before Ms O gave me a job like that.

She must really trust you.

Cool.

CENTIGURP PURRS

Aww!

Wait, no. Come back here!

No, hey! That's not good.

That's not good.

Help!
