Oscar the Couch 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.

Who do we work for?

We work for...

Thank you for coming, Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem?

Well, I've been trying to deliver this pizza, but every time I

go inside... You know, maybe I'll just show you. One sec.

SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

OK, just one second.

THEY SCREAM

Yeah, it's been happening for over an hour, this pizza's totally cold.

What kind of pizza is it?

-It's Hawaiian.

-There's your problem. This is a no Hawaiian pizza zone.

What?!

You know, they should really put up some signs or something.

Not to worry, we a have a classic cheesinator.

Oh!

-One cheese pizza.

-Wow.

-Try it now.

-Oh, yeah, OK.

A job well done, no?

THEY SCREAM

I don't get it. Why didn't it work?

Oh, no, no, it totally worked. See? No pizza.

I just delivered it and then I came out the side door.

Thank you, Odd Squad. Yes!

ELECTRIC BRAY

Hey, guys, we have a couple of new gadgets for you.

Here's a Snow Go Awayinator and here's

-a Make Snow Disappearinator...

-Wait!

Aren't those two the same thing?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

This one has a handle.

Oh, and then we've got this.

Uh-oh.

You have to listen to everything I'm about to tell you.

Oscar, what's going on?

I just zapped myself with a Couchinator and I'm going to

start turning into a couch.

For example, my legs are now a cushion.

THEY SCREAM

-How do we stop it?

-Well, there's good news -

there is a couch Uncouchinator.

And then there's the bad news -

it's locked inside of this briefcase.

Maybe it would make more sense to lock up the gadget that turns

you into the thing instead of the gadget that fixes you.

That's a very good point and I would love to talk about that some more,

except my fingers are now couch legs.

THEY SCREAM

And then there's more bad news -

I forget the code to unlock the briefcase.

BOTH: Oscar!

All I remember is that the three numbers add up to 50.

But there are many combinations that add up to 50.

The code could be anything.

Ah, there's more good news.

I knew I was going to forget the code,

so I hypnotised three people and told each one one of the numbers.

-Hm.

-You can hypnotise people?

-Yes.

-That is so cool.

Who knows the numbers?

Dr O, Orchid and Obfusco.

What you have to do is, you have to clap your hands two times...

-say "couch alert" and they'll tell you the info.

-Got it.

Uh, but wait. Make sure nobody finds out that I'm turning into a couch

-because if...

-THEY SCREAM

This is not the way I thought today was going to go.

I'll go find out the numbers, you guard the couch.

What do you mean, "Guard the couch"?

It's a couch, where's it going to go? Olive.

Oh, no!

Interesting.

-Dr O.

-Agent Olive, I'm right in the middle of playing doctor,

except I'm not playing doctor cos I'm an actual doctor.

Oscar turned into a...

a, I mean, um, never mind what Oscar turned into.

I need the number he gave you to open his briefcase.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Couch alert!

If I have 45 sick patients and I cure eight,

how many sick patients do I have left?

Oscar hid the number in a word problem? Why would he do that?

The Uncouchinator is a very powerful gadget and Oscar believes

-that if it fell into the wrong hands...

-Never mind.

Doctor, can I use your computer?

I'm not really Doctor O right now but, yeah, sure, go for it.

All right, go through the steps.

I want to know how many sick patients she has left.

What do I know?

She started with 45 sick patients...

..and then she cured eight, so eight got taken away.

That means subtraction.

So 45 minus eight is...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

The answer is 37! Yes!

I have to get back to Otto.

Um...

Uncouch alert!

Oh. Must've fallen asleep there for a second.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Oh, right.

You're still here.

Oscar?

Owen! What are you doing?!

Relaxing. Can you believe somebody just threw this thing out?

We didn't, we left it right... I need it back.

Oh, I see. The fancy pants agents get a couch,

but not the security people.

Is that a hole?

I like to think of it as a really bad stain I managed to get rid of.

Owen, I need this couch back. If you give it to me...

-I'll clean your monitors for a week.

-How about 18 years?

How about two weeks?

-Deal.

-Thanks, Owen. You don't know how important this couch is.

Just watch out for the gum.

Urg!

37.

Yes!

Oh!

What happened to Oscar?

Owen happened.

Good news, I got one number.

Just two more left to open the briefcase.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

This time I'm going to get the numbers and you're staying

here to guard the couch.

Trust me, it's way harder.

What do you mean, "Way harder"?

Oh, no.

Oscar?

Couch?

Hey, Orchid. You're Orchid!

Yes?

Couch alert!

If I have 16 centigurps and I give five to one Sherman and three

to another Sherman, how many do I have left?

That is so cool.

Oscar says, "Thanks."

OK, let's take this one step at a time.

What do I know so far?

If I have 16 centigurps and I give five to one Sherman and three

to another Sherman, how many do I have left?

You start off with 16 and then you gave away five. 16 minus five.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That's 11.

Then you gave away another three. That means 11 minus three.

1, 2, 3. The answer's eight!

Uncouch alert!

What happened?

Look, Orchid,

I know this might have been a little bit scary for you,

but you helped me out a whole lot today.

Thanks, Otto. Now I feel bad for taking your socks without asking.

How'd you even get them off my feet?

Hey, relax, I already gave you back your glasses.

We're finished here.

Oksana, what are you doing?

Adding some bling to my couch to make it more me.

That's not your couch.

Yes, it is. You can tell it is because I have it.

But I need it because...

because I just need it.

I see.

You think agents deserve a couch more than the cafeteria workers,

or should I say worker? There's really just one of me.

No, that's not what I mean.

Every department is important.

We're all part of one big family working together.

Can you...? Ah!

What did you do?

Pulled out the hideaway bed because your story is making me sleepy.

Look, Oksana, what do I need to do to get this couch back?

Help with today's dishes.

FOGHORN

Come on, Oscar.

What happened to Oscar?

Oksana.

Good news, I have Orchid's number.

All that's left is Obfusco's number.

We're going together

and bringing the couch.

People will take anything around here if it's not nailed down.

Neat, free briefcase.

Grab that, too.

Thank you.

Careful, careful. OK, now pivot.

-Make an L. Come on, lift and make an L.

-I'm doing it!

COUCH RIPS

I ripped Oscar!

Oh, just be more careful. Let's go.

-Are you even lifting at your end?!

-Of course I am!

Careful.

Why are we even going this way?

It's a shortcut to Obfusco's office.

Oh, you guys are looking for Obfusco.

-BOTH: Yes!

-Too bad, just left for his vacation house on the moon.

How are we supposed to get the number to open this thing now?

You two! Did you bring a couch into my headquarters?

Nobody gets a couch.

-I'm throwing this thing out.

-NO!

-NO!

Miss O, it's not ours, it belongs in, um, the lab.

-So now the scientists get a couch?

-I make food, that's science.

-It belongs in security.

-I make food, that's security.

Look, it should belong to the tube operators.

I make food, that's tube operating.

Um, that one was a stretch.

THEY COMPLAIN

Why couldn't Oscar just tell us the number?

He did!

Oscar said all the numbers add up to 50.

-So?

-So, if we add these two numbers, we can find out how many more we

need to reach 50.

The answer will be the last number.

So, what's 37 plus eight?

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

Now we just need to figure out how many numbers

are in-between 45 and 50.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

BOTH: Five! The answer is five!

It's decided. We'll split the couch into four pieces.

Wait!

ALL: Oscar?!

Yes, I turned myself into a couch.

Ms O, I deserve any punishment you think is right.

It looks like you've been punished enough.

We're still splitting it into four pieces though, right?
