Odd Outbreak 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 that investigates

anything strange, weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

UNICORN NEIGHS

Come on, come on!

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad. I didn't know who to call.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, every time I say, "I wonder what the weather will be like."

It's going to be nothing but snow, snow, snow!

-BOTH: Whoa!

-Where did he come from?

I have no idea.

What's even worse, he's way wrong about the weather. It's hot out.

Not a problem, sir. We have an un-weatherman-zap-onator.

There you go. Try it again.

I wonder what the weather's going to be like.

-It worked! Thanks, Odd Squad.

-Happy to help.

-Have a great day.

Oh, it's over here.

Oh, man, I'm late for work. I wonder what the traffic's going to be like.

It's nothing but bumper-to-bumper traffic on the I95.

Alternate route is the 427 South, but that's also backed up.

-Those aren't even the right streets.

-BOTH: Odd Squad!

JACKALOPE SQUAWKS

What's going on, partner?

Oscar's tired of agents not returning their gadgets on time,

so from here on out, if you return a gadget, you get a chocolate.

Fancy French ones, too.

Is that a toothbrush glued to a spatula?

First of all, there is a flashlight.

Second of all, I'll glue anything to anything if it means chocolate.

I just wish Dr O would hurry up.

-And here you go. Thank you, Doctor.

-And, thank you, Doctor.

-I'm not a doctor.

-I know, I was talking to myself.

Dr O, there's a medical emergency in the tube room!

Odell, you had me at "medical", but you really had me at "emergency".

Let's move!

Next!

-O'Callaghan, talk to me.

-These agents just came through the tube.

They won't stop making these really odd noises.

THEY TOOT AND TRUMPET

We have to get them to the Medical Base stat!

THEY TOOT AND TRUMPET Agent Odessa, Agent Ochenta,

it's all going to be OK.

THEY TOOT AND TRUMPET

Dr O, there you are. Two of my agents keep making odd noises.

Don't worry, Ms O, I've got them right here.

I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about them.

Ohio and Orzack? You too?

THEY CHIME AND BEEP

-Whatever odd disease this is, I want it fixed now!

-Yes, Ms O.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a gadget to return!

Oscar's giving away chocolates!

Dr, I've never seen anything like this! Where do we start?

We start with earmuffs.

THEY CHIME AND BEEP

OK, keep it moving, people. Let's go, let's go...

Forceps.

Clamps.

Scissors.

SNIPPING

That's should hold it for now.

I need some air.

I don't get it. Why are those four agents making noises and no-one else?

Maybe they have something in common but we can't see it yet.

-Good thinking, Odell.

-We need to collect data.

-Who?

-Not who, what.

Data is another word for information.

We'll ask the patients all the same questions.

If they have the same answer, that's what they have in common.

What kind of questions should we ask?

Where were the patients when they started making noises?

-I don't know, where?

-No, that's one of the questions.

-Oh!

Also, what did you eat for breakfast today?

A bit of oatmeal and some juice.

-That was another question.

-Oh. I've got one.

What colour shoes did they wear last Thursday?

But the noises started today,

so it's more likely something that happened today is causing it.

-What if we ask, what tube did they ride in today?

-Excellent question.

Just one problem. How can they answer with tape on their mouths?

I've got it! One word, two syllables. It's a game you play

when you act out things with your hands but you can't speak.

-Charades!

-Yeah, that's a way better idea than what I was thinking.

Let's do it.

JACKALOPE RINGS

-Scrapbooking?

-Folding pizza dough?

-Stretching pizza dough?

Um, you ordered a vegetable platter but you're taking off the tomatoes.

-Cos you're allergic to tomatoes.

-Yes!

First word "shaving", second word "chocolates".

-Trying to get a moustache. Building a station?

-Building a FIRE station?

A police station? Drilling to the centre of the Earth?

Spinning around in circles? Staring at me?

A little hamster dressed up as a magician?

A magician transforming into a hamster?

-A doctor...

-That's a hamster!

Finally, we got some straight answers.

I made a chart so it's easier to organise our data.

People on the bottom, questions on the side.

-Now we just have to look and see what they have in common.

-Exactly.

Question one - where were they when they started making the noises?

Ohio was in the park, Odessa was at the museum,

Ochenta was at the zoo and Orzack was at the beach.

Nothing in common.

If you look across the chart, all four answers are different.

Question two - what did they eat for breakfast?

Ohio had eggs, Odessa had eggs, Ochenta had eggs

and Orzack had...pizza.

Almost a match, but three out of four isn't good enough.

Question three - what tube did they ride in today?

Ohio said Tube Three, Odessa said Tube Three,

Ochenta said Tube Three and Orzack said pizza.

Pizza?

Wait. Orzack says pizza is his nickname for Tube Three!

It's a match.

Tube Three is what they have in common.

That must be what's making the noises. Let's move!

-Dr O, I need your help!

-What is it?

-If you can believe it, Oscar doesn't think this is a gadget.

-It isn't!

I knew I should have used more tape.

-Otto, we're dealing with a medical emergency right now.

-So am I!

-I need chocolate. Do you have a spare gadget I can borrow?

-Ugggh!

Take it! Go! We've got to go, now!

O'Callaghan? Tube Three is the reason people are making these odd noises.

Impossible. I wash and scrub those tubes 11 times a day.

I need you to shut down Tube Three now! This is a medical emergency.

You ARE a medical emergency.

-MACHINES WHIR

-Incoming!

-No!

-No!

-Wheeee.

-A-ha! He just came down

Tube Three and can't stop making odd noises.

-But...

-Um, yes, I can.

-What?

-What?

I only said, "wheee" because I love riding down the tubes.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT Sorry, O'Callaghan.

-Love your tubes.

-Thank you.

So clean.

-Is that a wig?

-No!

If Tube Three isn't causing the noises, what is?

Ms O, I know what you're going to say

and I would like you to know we are working hard to find a cure.

-That's not what you were going to say?

-What is it?

SIREN BLARES You too?

She's not the only one. Come on!

SIREN BLARES

Ms O! SIREN STOPS

Thank you. You might want to plug your ears.

THEY WHISTLE, SQUEAK, TOOT

-Oh, my!

-This makes no sense!

Otto, I already gave you a gadget. I don't have anything else to give...

HORN HONKS

What in the name of the medical community is happening?

-I just saw you a few minutes ago and you were fine!

-Hold on.

Then that means whatever's causing the noises just happened.

Otto, where did you go after Odell and I left you?

HORN HONKS

-He returned the gadget to Oscar.

-HORN HONKS

THEY WHISTLE, SQUEAK, TOOT

Who here returned a gadget today?

Well, I don't need a chart to figure this one out.

It seems we may have found what everyone has in common.

But I saw you return a gadget earlier today.

How come you're not making any noises?

Hm, let me check my doctor's journal.

Wait a minute,

I didn't have a chance to eat this after Oscar give it to me today.

THEY WHISTLE, SQUEAK, TOOT

Who here ate a chocolate like this today?

That must be what's causing it! Doctor, you're a genius!

No, I'm a doctor. Come on!

-Noisemaker chocolates?

-Well, I didn't read it that way.

I thought they were French, you know? "Noiz mackerrr."

Oscar, the Noisemaker is a villain who wants to fill the world

with odd noises. Seriously, this didn't make you

even a tiny bit suspicious?

Well, when you hold it underneath the light like that,

I can see where I MIGHT have made a mistake.

SHE SIGHS, WHISTLING AND CLATTERING

And I almost got away with it.

-Noisemaker, you're coming with me.

-Mm.

-Come on, let's go.

HE CLATTERS

How did nobody hear him come in here?

Well, the good news is we know the chocolate caused the problem,

which means I know how to cure it.

Now, can you say, "My name is Otto."

-My name is Otto.

-ALL:

-Yes!

-We did it!

-We have officially cured the last case of the noise outbreak.

I've got to say, all this noise has really worked up my appetite.

-ALL:

-Otto, no!

-HARP MELODY PLAYS

-Ugh.

-That actually sounds kind of nice.

-Yeah. Relaxing even.

HARP MELODY CONTINUES
