Game Time Odd Squad

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

This is my lucky pencil.

That's 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

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

Is it your turn to say, "What's the problem, Miss O?"

-I think I went last time.

-OK.

-There you two are.

-What's the problem, Miss O?

Hundreds of futuristic robots have flooded the streets,

-destroying everyone in their path?

-BOTH:

-What?

-In a video game.

-Oh.

-Oh.

I need you to report to the arcade immediately.

Yes! I love the arcade! You got it, Miss O!

-Whoa!

-Come on!

-Oh!

-O'Toole, send us to the game arcade.

-Prepare to squishinate.

-Go!

I can't believe it's our job to play video games today.

How cool is that?!

Yeah, I don't think that's what Miss O was saying.

-Squishinating.

-Plus, video games aren't really my thing.

-What?

-Otto, let go of that thing!

-Sorry. We'll talk about this later.

-SHE SIGHS

-Should have called in sick.

JACKALOPE SQUEAKS

Ah, Odd Squad, thank you for coming.

I'm Karla. With a K.

A-R-L-A.

The problem is right this way.

Oh, I almost forgot.

1. It costs 1 to enter the arcade.

-But you called us.

-Everybody has to pay. Even Karla. Boop.

-Sounds fine to me.

-OLIVE SIGHS

Oh, I don't have a dollar.

I'm sure you can make a dollar with all of those coins,

you little change machine.

You can pay with any type of coin - a five-cent coin,

a ten-cent coin, a quarter is 25 cents.

Here, I've got a card that can help you.

-Four quarters makes a dollar.

-Yes.

25 cents, 50 cents,

75 cents, 1.

And the card costs ten cents.

So, what happened was, I put my sandwich on a video game

and then, pop, suddenly my sandwich was IN the game!

Hmm, things are getting sucked into a game? Which game?

I roped it off so no-one would play.

KARLA GASPS

Hey, Olive, check it out. It's like some sort of VIP game.

Otto, get away from there!

Oh, no, help, help!

I'm trapped in here forever. Whoo, a sandwich.

VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

Oh, I'd love to help but, um...

Yum, yum, yum, yum.

Don't worry, partner, I'll get you out of there...

..somehow.

GADGET RINGS

All right, nothing else is getting sucked in.

Yeah, but how do I get out?

The good news is, I found a weakness in the fabric of the vector lines.

Huh?

Can you say that in not-Oscar talk?

-If Otto can get to the end of level one, I can get him out.

-Oh!

-Ah!

One problem. I can't move.

What are we going to do?

Hey, look! I'm moving!

-You moved him with the joystick.

-We can use the joystick...

-To get him to the end of the level and I can zap him out.

-Whoohoo!

Don't worry, Otto, I'm awesome at this game.

Just let me take off this freeze rayonator. Argh!

-Well, Olive, looks like you're up.

-Olive?

-But she's never played a video game in her life.

-Ah, how hard can it be?

VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

END-OF-LIFE MUSIC Er, what happened? Is that good?

Does that sound like something-good-happened music?

-It's game over!

-If Otto's game ends, he'll be lost forever.

-What?

-What?

-But it's OK.

We can save him if we put in a token before the timer hits zero.

Hang on tight, partner. I'm on it.

I'll wait here.

Cos I'm frozen in a block of ice.

Karla, my partner lost a life

and he's about to be trapped in Robo Blast Box forever!

-Oh, that's horrible!

-I know.

-I need a token, fast!

-That'll be 1.

OLIVE SIGHS IN EXASPERATION

OK, I can use ten-cent coins. I need ten of them to make a dollar.

So, 10, 20, 30,

40, 50, 60,

70, 80,

90, 1.

One token! Boop.

Olive, where are you?

Hurry, Ol!

Thanks, partner.

Let's try this again.

VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

-Cool!

-That was actually kind of fun.

You're doing great, but remember,

this game isn't ALL about destroying robots -

there's a rich mythology behind this world.

You see, the Ventrileans are more than just machines.

They yearn to conquer the moon's rotata,

so they can colonise and put their cheese farms...

-Oscar, will any of this help me get Otto out of there faster?

-No.

Then let's save it for another time.

Oh, yeah! Look at me go!

-Argh! Oh, no! Help!

-END-OF-LIFE MUSIC

-He's blinking again!

-You need another token.

-OK.

We can use five-cent coins.

5, 10, 15, 20,

25, 30, 35, 40,

45, 50, 55, 60,

65, 70, 75, 80,

85, 90, 95,

-1.

-OK.

And if you could get me a hot chocolate too, that'd be great.

18, 19 and 20 five-cent coins equals 1.

Now, where were those tokens?

-Tokens... Tokens...

-Oh!

-KARLA GIGGLES

-It was in my hand!

Coming through.

-Whoo, thanks, partner.

-You got it.

Now, let's finish this.

VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

Whoohoo! Yeah!

The fortress at the end of level one.

-If you can get out of there, we can zap him out.

-Yes!

Er, guys...

The big boss. You have to defeat him to beat level one.

Just watch out for his...

-OLIVE GASPS

-..blaster.

-Oh, no, not again!

I don't have enough quarters to make a dollar. Or enough ten-cent coins.

I don't have enough of anything!

Well, the card shows how to make a dollar using the same kind of coins,

-but we can combine different coins and make a dollar.

-OK.

Start with quarters. 25, 50, 75 cents.

-No more quarters.

-You've got ten-cent coins.

OK, 75 cents here.

85, 95.

-I'm just missing five cents.

-Use a five-cent coin!

1!

Run like the wind, Ol!

Let's just make sure you have a dollar there.

It's...all...there!

KARLA GIGGLES NERVOUSLY

Boop.

Excuse me.

-Thanks again, Olive.

-Oh!

-Good job but we're out of money.

If you lose another life, that's it. Otto will be lost forever.

Olive, listen to me.

You've trained nine minutes of your whole life for this.

You can do it. I believe in you.

Thanks, partner.

VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK PLAYS

SHE GASPS

Yes!

-Good work there, partner.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

How did you DO that?

If you allow yourself to think like a Ventrilean,

you quickly come to understand how their struggle for a home planet

-has created many years of anger and frustration.

-Wow.

Other option - up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right,

B, A to activate the finishing move.

Entering fortress.

I'm back!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I guess video games really ARE my thing.

What do you say we bring this baby back to HQ?

Hold on, partner. We ARE in an arcade.

-We can play at least one more game.

-Yeah, let's go play!

Oh, yeah, I'm in an ice block.

-I can get you out.

-Oh, thank you!
