Olive and Otto in Shmumberland Part One 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 Odd Squad.

Good evening, sir. We heard something odd was happening.

Yeah.

Watch this! I wish I had a basketball!

Whoa!

-See?

-Question. Did you happen to purchase a lamp recently?

Actually, a matter-of-fact, I did.

Yup, that's a magic lamp.

It grants you three wishes.

And since you wished for a basketball, you only have two left.

Oh, no, no, no. I already wished for these here sneakers.

So you only have one wish left.

Use it wisely.

AH! Oh, man! I wish you guys told me that this morning...

Good morning, sir. We heard that something odd was happening.

Oh, man!

DOLPHIN CLICKS

OLIVE SNIGGERS

-You're really enjoying that file.

-Mm? I love work!

Hold on.

HE HUMS

Hey!

-What is this?

-Give it back!

Shmumberman Versus Dr Soup?!

I haven't read this one yet. Is it good?

So good.

On page 18, Shmumberman breaks into a peanut butter castle! See?

And then two pages later, on page 20,

he discovers that the commissioner is actually...

NO, NO, NO, NO!

I don't want you to spoil it for me. Except, why are you hiding it?

Ms O doesn't like Shmumberman.

What? Why?

I'll tell you why.

SHE SLURPS JUICE LOUDLY

Because whenever a new comic comes out,

everyone stops working like Olive's doing right now.

But Ms O, you and Shmumberman are so alike!

You both love juice, you both lift up cars...

We are nothing alike!

ARGH!

Hand it over so I can throw it out.

You can't do that, I haven't read it yet.

And I've only read it 96 times!

Here, here. I'll use my put-away-inator.

Or my save-it-for-later-inator.

Wait! Don't use those gadgets at the same time...

..or that'll happen.

THEY SCREAM

Hey, this is just like the time that we fell into the board game.

Yeah, yeah.

THEY CONTINUE SCREAMING

CRASH

BOTH: OW!

Look!

It's the Shmumbermobile...

..and the Shmumbercopter...

..and the Shmumberbicycle built for two!

Wow.

A statue of Shmumbly the butler!

I'm a real person.

OLIVE GASPS

What's going on?

Partner, look in the Shmumbermirror.

I... I think we're inside the comic book!

BOTH: Best day ever!

-THEY CHEER

-Yeah!

-This is awesome!

ODD SQUAD THEME RINGTONE

-GoPro, Olive.

-Olive!

Ms O? Otto and I got sucked into the comic book.

I know. I'm watching you right now. Are you OK?

Um, better than OK!

We met Shmumbly the butler, Otto is riding the Shmumbershark...

WESTERN MUSIC PLAYS

Yeeha!

I can't wait to meet Shmumberman!

-Not going to happen.

-Why not?

-Because he's out here with me.

-It's true.

What a strange, round world this is.

Hang on, Agents. I'll get Oscar to fix this.

OSCAR!

Agent Orrzack, you're not Oscar!

No, ma'am, but you told me if you ever yelled "OSCAR..."

to remind you that he's out of the office this week.

He took his yo-yo show on the road.

Behold my next trick! Ha-ha!

Thank you, thank you.

Oh! But if Oscar's not here, how do we fix this?

No rush on this side.

I shall enjoy having many adventures in your world,

learning life lessons and perhaps falling in love.

HE GROANS

ALARMS BLARE

-What's happening?

-I don't know.

An alarm in his suit went off and he fell down.

It's because Shmumberman comes from the lost planet of Fruitlantis.

It has a fruit juice core.

Aargh. You're a fan too?

Oh, yeah!

-Give it to me straight, Orrzack.

-Shmumberman needs juice to survive.

Preferably apple.

SHMUMBERMAN SLURPS

Olive and Otto, I need you to get out of the comic

so I can get juice boy back in before he drinks all my juice.

Professor Straw can help.

Professor what?

Professor Straw is the scientist

that's always building stuff for Shmumberman.

Maybe she can build a machine to zap us out and zap Shmumberman back in.

Good thinking, partner. We're on it, Ms O.

No autographs! Back to work! Shoo, shoo!

-Orrzack, help me get juice boy to my office.

-Your office?

This is the day I've been waiting for!

The day you ask me to move into your office and help you with Odd Squad!

What? That's not what I'm... Just grab his legs.

Hmm. He's way lighter than I thought.

It's because his bones are made out of bendy straws.

Eurgh. That's just gross.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

BOTH: To the Shmumbermobile!

ENGINE ROARS

-OW!

-What happened?

Comic book rules. You can't leave the page you're on.

Then why did you let us do the whole "To the Shmumbermobile!"?

You were so excited.

I didn't want to ruin it.

How are we supposed to get to the page with Professor Straw?

Partner, there's a number on the bottom of each page.

Maybe we get to the page we want using...

..the change-a-number-inator!

Why have I never seen that gadget before?

It's kind of boring.

Right now, we're on page 1.

But Professor Straw doesn't show up till, um...

..the last page of the comic. Page 30.

It's actually this really great scene where the whole story

-just all comes together...

-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Spoiler alert!

I haven't read the comic yet, remember?

Sorry. We need to get to page 30 and we're at page 1 now,

so that means we need to do addition.

So how many numbers do we have to add to get from 1 to 30?

Shmumbly, do you have a number line?

We call it a Shmumble line. But, yes, same dealio.

Right now, we're at 1. And we have to get here, 30.

So there are 1, 2, 3...

..27, 28, 29.

So we have to add 29 to get to 30.

THEY SCREAM

Look! Page 30!

-It worked.

-Yeah!

Wait, but where's the Professor?

Hiding behind this side table!

One move and I'll turn you both into juice!

No, no, we're good guys!

We're from a different world where your world is just a comic book!

Don't make me laugh!

SHE LAUGHS

Oh! I'm so angry you made me laugh!

It's true! I can prove it because I read the comic book

and I know um...oh!

You invented that Juice-atron 6,000 today and...

Oh! Earlier this morning,

you discovered Shmumberman's secret identity is...

Don't say it!

What? That Shmumberman is really mild-mannered Julian Buckley?

AW, man!

He hasn't read the comic yet.

Ooh, so he doesn't know about the explosion

on the Shmumberville blimp

that created a robot villain named Restitution?

# La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... #

Oh, sorry.

Anyway, you've convinced me. What can I do for you?

We need you to build a machine to zap us back to our world and

-zap Shmumberman back into the comic.

-Not a problem.

-In fact, I already have one.

-Seriously?

-Really?

Of course. Let me just get some Shmumbertonium

to power this puppy up.

SHE GASPS

Oh, no.

-You're out of Shmumbertonium?

-No!

Carrot sticks. I like to snack while I work.

I keep my Shmumbertonium in here.

SHE GASPS

Oh, no! But I'm also out of Shmumbertonium.

Without it, I can't send you back.

-Hmm. Maybe we can get some.

-How?

Earlier in the comic, Shmumberman goes into a Shmumbertonium factory.

What page was it on?

I don't remember exactly. Halfway through.

-We need another number line.

-Hey!

-Don't draw on it. This is a collector's edition.

-Seriously?

If you must.

Right now, we're at the end of the comic. Page 30.

And way down there is the beginning. At page 1.

Halfway is here. Page 15.

So, how do we get from page 30 to here?

The number 15 is smaller than the number 30.

So we want to do subtraction.

So we'll start at 30 and take away 15.

Which makes sense because it's exactly half.

So if you add 15 + 15 to get 30...

Subtracting 15 from 30 will get you 15 again.

So, what are we doing again?

Minus 15. See you soon, Professor.

Call me Mandy.

And, you know, if you could grab me some carrot sticks too,

that would be great.

THEY SCREAM

I cannot get used to that.

Phew. Finally. Page 15.

Let's get the Shmumbertonium.

-There's none left.

-THEY SCREAM

-Dr Soup stole it.

-Oh, that's right!

Dr Soup stole it by disguising himself as a robot...

Hello? Still haven't read the comic yet.

But if there's no Shmumbertonium,

we can't power Professor Straw's machine

and we can't zap Shmumberman back in here.

Or zap ourselves out! We'll be trapped in the comic for ever!

Huh. Welcome to my world.
