Moustache Confidential 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.

Come on, everybody! Come on!

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

What seems to be the problem, ma'am?

I'm trying to do some quiet reading here,

but every time I turn this lamp on...

ALARM WAILS

It's way too loud for reading!

Not to worry, ma'am. I have a bright idea.

See what I did there?

Otto.

Right.

ZAP!

Try it now.

No noise.

Thank you, Odd Squad.

Happy to help. Enjoy your book.

-VOICE SHOUTS:

-"It was the best of times,

"it was the worst of times.

-"It was the age of wisdom..."

-Odd Squad!

SQUEAK SQUEAK

What seems to be the problem, Miss O?

There you two are. Something very odd has happened.

-Let me guess. To the zoo?

-The zoo?

I left a pair of gloves there.

I was just hoping if you sent us, I could go...

You are both staying inside headquarters to investigate a crime.

Dun-dun-duuuuuuuun!

Inside of headquarters?

What happened?

Agent Obfusco was relaxing in the break room.

And now, like a pig in a water park,

I shall enjoy this sandwich.

SMASH! CRASH! CAT SCREECHES

What happened to the lights?

My moustache!

It's gone!

Someone stole Obfusco's moustache?

Yep. He's taking it pretty bad.

DRAMATIC VOICEOVER: Obfusco-o-o-o...

Without my moustache, I can't solve odd cases any more.

Listen to how clearly he's talking.

Yes. It is a weird side effect.

Weird?

The way you used to talk was weird.

Maybe this is for the best.

No, it's not!

He thinks he can't solve cases, which means I'm down an agent,

which means you two have to find it.

Uh...why us?

You were the only agents not in headquarters when it was stolen.

Wait! It gets worse.

We didn't say anything.

Good. Because it gets worse.

You'll be working with Agent Obfusco to help solve this case.

How are you guys not cold underneath your noses?

Brrr...

What are you waiting for?

Go!

All these agents were in headquarters at the time,

so it could have been any one of them.

Or even this pastrami sandwich.

Otto.

Hey, it was in the break room.

I just want to make sure we cover all the angles.

What we really need to do right now is narrow down this list of

-suspects by questioning them all.

-Great idea.

-I'll just go ask them what they had for breakfast.

-Yes!

No! No, no, no.

The question we have to ask has to be about reasons people might

steal it. Like...who got into the most arguments with Obfusco?

How will that help us?

Maybe somebody was so confused by the way Obfusco talks,

they got into an argument and stole his moustache out of frustration.

Ah, I gotcha, I gotcha.

Obfusco, can you tell us which agents you've argued with the

-most this week?

-Yes.

Right after I finish moaning.

HE MOANS MOURNFULLY

OK, here we go.

Let's see...I argued with Miss O the most.

-Oh, oh, let's just stick with agents.

-Sure.

You may want to get a marker and a chair, and maybe some water.

This will take a while.

On the vertical column, we have all the agents,

not counting Miss O, who were here when Obfusco's moustache was stolen.

And this horizontal row will have all our different questions.

But we'll start with the number of arguments

each agent had with Obfusco.

Those lines look like...little moustaches.

Uh, they're tally marks.

Each one stands for one argument.

We use those to keep track of all of them without having to start

from zero every time.

Take Doctor O as an example.

She had one, two, three, four arguments with you this week.

Same with Oren and Ori.

And Olaf.

They're all equal.

Which means none of them are more likely or less likely to be

the one that stole your moustache.

But, if you look here, all the way at the bottom,

Agent Orchid has way more than four tally marks, so she's likely

the most frustrated with Obfusco and stole his moustache.

I'll go track down Orchid. Orchid and I have history.

Wait, what am I supposed to do here?

Keep Obfusco away from that marker.

OK. No, no, no!

Give me that marker!

Do you have another one of these?

No.

-Hey! OK, give me the marker!

-No!

-Give me the marker!

-No, please!

-I need it!

-No, you don't need the marker!

-Yeah!

-Give me the...

-La-la-la, la-la-la-la.

-Orchid, stop right there!

-Yeah, no thanks.

-I know you're the one that stole Obfusco's moustache.

-Excuse me?

You had the most arguments with him this week.

So, that makes you our number one suspect.

No, because you don't even know what we were arguing about.

-I insist, you go first.

-No, YOU go first!

-You're the best agent!

-No, YOU'RE the best agent!

-You're the best at arguing!

-No, YOU'RE the best at arguing!

We show how much we like one another by arguing.

I'd never take his moustache.

OK, I'm sorry for saying you did.

And to show me how bad YOU feel, you'll do all this work for me.

Woo-ha-ha! Woo-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

La-la-la-la-la-la...

Hmm. So, if Orchid didn't take Obfusco's moustache,

we can cross her off our list of suspects.

But still, there's a ton of suspects left.

This is going to take forever.

You want to talk forever?

I've been growing my moustache since I was two years old.

And now it's gone.

Otto? We're going to need to bring these people in here.

One...by...one.

It's time to play a little, uh...good cop, bald cop.

Otto, no!

It's good cop, BAD cop!

Let him do it!

I can use his hair...to make myself a new moustache.

-OK, that's gross.

-Yeah.

Where were you this morning?

Where were you when Obfusco's moustache was stolen?

Don't be putting the blame on me. I haven't done anything here.

-What did you eat for lunch?

-Are you really a doctor?

-I didn't do anything!

-Did YOU eat the sandwich?

Uh, who are you again?

Think, Ori!

How many cases did you solve last week?

I can't remember!

Maybe this will jog your memory.

A puppy!

You're welcome, buddy.

Otto! We don't buy people puppies!

See? This is why you're the bad cop.

This is going to take forever.

Ugh...

Wait. Where's Obfusco?

DRAMATIC VOICEOVER: Obfusco-o-o-o..

Here. I tried to buy a moustache on the black market.

There were none left.

OK.

According to my notes, Oren solved the least amount of cases - five.

It looks like he has four, but you crossed them out.

-So, it should be zero cases, right?

-I didn't cross it out.

This is how you count five when you're using tally marks.

It helps you add things faster because you're counting by fives,

like Dr O.

Five, ten, 15, plus one more equals 16.

Yes, but how does this help me get my lucky moustache back?

Well, Oren solved the least amount of cases last week - five.

Maybe he thought he would solve more with your lucky moustache.

Ah, just so we're clear,

it's not lucky.

-Then why did I just drop this mug?

-SMASH

Bad luck.

I'll go talk to Oren.

The reason I didn't solve many cases last week is because Miss O asked

me to help her with a case she's been trying to solve for weeks.

Great.

Another dead end.

You know, it's funny, but, from here,

that didn't sound like an apology.

I'm sorry for saying you stole Obfusco's moustache(!)

Great.

Now, say it into this tape recorder.

I'm sorry for saying you stole Obfusco's moustache(!)

Fantastic.

And to show me how bad you feel,

you're going to do Orchid's laundry for me.

Why are you doing Orchid's laundry?

-Well, it all started with...

-Oren!

I've said too much.

Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha! Wa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

La-la-la-la-la-la-la...

This is horrible!

I know! I can't tell which cup is mine.

And the case. The case is horrible.

Yeah, that too, I mean we haven't gotten anything yet.

What about the special key?

What special key?

You know, the one that can turn off the lights in headquarters.

Whoever has it...

OLIVE AND OTTO: Stole your moustache!

Yeah, that.

-Did you have the special key?

-I'm a doctor, not Miss O.

For sure, Miss O has it.

Miss O has it!

I want to say potato but...Miss O.

(Potato.)

It was Miss O.

Are you sure? It can't be Miss O.

Miss O wouldn't do anything like this.

Remember when you asked me about my confusing conversations?

Let's see...I argued with Miss O the most.

And when we were trying to figure out who was having

a hard time solving cases?

The reason I didn't solve many cases is because Miss O asked me

to help her solve a case she's been trying to solve for weeks.

And who has the special key that can turn off the lights?

OLIVE AND OTTO: Miss O.

-SLOW CLAP

-You're right. It was me all along.

But, why would you...? Can you stop clapping?

I wanted you to see you don't need your moustache to solve cases.

You're a good agent on your own.

She's right.

You came up with all the right questions to ask the agents.

And you realised the key to the case was...well, the special key.

Sweet cricket sticks! You're right!

Like a street lamp at midnight.

I am the best agent at Odd Squad.

Oh, no, he's confusing again.

Thanks for your help, agents.

And if you want your moustache, I'll give it back.

DRAMATIC VOICEOVER: Obfusco-o-o-o.

Thank you kindly, but I won't be needing it any more.

Now, let's go do the cha-cha.

CHA-CHA MUSIC PLAYS

Yee-ha!
