My Better Half 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 WHINNIES

Come on! Come on!

Who do we work for?

We work for Odd Squad.

So my brother, Donny, and I are watching TV,

and Donny's really getting into the show,

and then he actually GOT into the show.

TAPPING

Hey! Uh, could you be of assistance? Please?

Our TV get-out-onator should do it. Agent Otto?

-Where?

-WHOOSHING

-Whoa! Whew!

-Donny! Donny! Donny!

My older brother! I missed you, man!

-Thanks, Odd Squad.

-No problem.

Let's go.

Man! Hey, where's the remote?

-Look, you see...don't... Look, calm...

-Donny!

ANIMAL MOOS

Incoming!

Well, look who's here.

Olive, Otto, welcome back.

-Thanks, Ms O. We're happy to be back.

-Enough chitchat!

Go see Mayor Macklemore in the centre of town!

-Something very odd has happened.

-But we just got back.

-And I don't even have my jacket on!

-Oscar!

Hey, guys. Jacket-onator.

Ow!

-Well, what're you waiting for? Go!

-Go, go, go.

Preparing to squish-onate. Squish-onating.

-Mr Mayor.

-Agent Olive, thank you for coming.

Oh, I don't believe we've...

-My new partner, Agent Otto.

-What's up?

Ooh! I like him better than your last partner.

Uh, yes, so, um...what seems to be the problem?

-Do you know what a snowman is?

-Yeah.

This will be a lot easier to explain, then. Come.

Someone's ruined all the snowmen!

-Oh, no!

-And that's not all.

Look at that bench!

That's not the worst of it.

I used to call this my special star sweater.

Not so special any more!

-This just got real, yo!

-We'll get to the bottom of this, Mr Mayor.

Don't worry, sweater. You'll be special again.

-So weird! Why's everything missing one half?

-Not everything, partner.

These trees are still whole.

I have a hunch what's going on. We have to go to the Math Room.

Greetings, agents.

Math Room, show us a picture of what the snowman, the bench,

and Mayor Macklemore's sweater look like right now.

Generating images.

Now show us what they used to look like.

-I knew it. These are all symmetrical objects.

-What's that?

When an object has symmetry,

it means that one half is exactly the same as the other half.

The line of symmetry is here, see?

-This half is the same as this half.

-Oh, yeah!

Same with the benches and the star. Both halves are the same.

-It's like a mirror image.

-That is correct.

If you hold a mirror up to one half,

the mirror image looks exactly the same.

Math Room, bring up one of the trees from the Town Square.

Generating foliage.

But this isn't symmetrical. The two sides are different.

That's why it was left alone.

-But who would be destroying symmetrical objects?

-Yeah, who?

-Yeah, who?

-Yeah, who?

-Yeah, who?

-Yeah, who?

# Yeaaah, whooooooo? #

Seriously?

-Looks like the work of Symmetric-Al.

-Symmetric-Al?

Let me show you a picture.

Nobody knows what he looks like.

Legend has it Al's the most symmetrical person in the world.

One side of his body looks just like the other side.

-So, shouldn't he love symmetry?

-Oh, he does. Just a little too much.

Symmetric-Al wants to be the only symmetrical thing in the universe!

He takes half of anything that's symmetrical?

-Like your name.

-What do you mean?

O-T-T-O.

This side is the same as this side.

-So?

-So that means you're in trouble.

SHE GASPS

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

-Calm down!

-Calm down? Half of my body's disappeared!

-Oscar, can you fix it?

-Uh, yes.

Oh, sorry, I mean no.

Sometimes I get the two words mixed up sometimes. Sorry.

I'm afraid the only person who can fix this is Symmetric-Al.

-Ms O, how do I find him?

-There's only one way.

RATTLES

No! Please! Anything but that. I won't! I can't!

SHE GASPS

So, you have come to see Baby Genius.

Yes. I need help finding Symmetric-Al...Your Excellency.

And why should Baby Genius help you?

Aw, unicorn.

BABY CRIES He doesn't like unicorns.

Oh. How about a comb?

Great, a comb. So Baby can comb all the hair he doesn't have.

-BABY CRIES

-Wait a sec.

I only have some pocket lint.

BABY GIGGLES It is the simple things.

Go to this address on Main Street. There you will find your...Al.

But...this isn't an address.

BABY'S LAUGH ECHOES

PHONE RINGS

-Gopher Olive.

-What's happening?

Baby Genius gave me an address but it looks weird.

You want to talk weird? I just watched Otto try to drink soup.

I can't unsee that.

Symmetric-Al's destroying half of anything that's symmetrical.

So, maybe this doesn't look like a number

because it's symmetrical, and this is only half of it.

Got to go, Ms O.

138. That's the address! 138 Main Street.

Thank you, Baby Genius, wherever you are.

I'm coming for you, Al!

ANIMAL CUCKOOS

Odd Squad! Odd Squad! Which one of you is Al?

You're all named Al?

Well, which one of you loves symmetry?

Seriously?

Fine, you're all coming with me.

Now.

Remember, Symmetric-Al is the most symmetrical person in the world.

Look at Al number one.

Mole on one side of his face, but not on the other.

Not symmetrical.

What about Al number two?

Short hair on one side, and long, luxurious hair on the other.

-I used to style mine that way.

-Um, not symmetrical.

What about Al number three? Look! Identical watches on both wrists.

And the same earrings on both sides. That's symmetrical.

And his hair is perfectly parted down the middle.

-It's you!

-Busted!

-Get him!

Aaah! Aaah!

-And you're absolutely sure you want to be whole again?

-Uh, yeah!

OK.

I'm back! Oh, I missed me so much.

-Oscar, take him away to fix the rest of the town.

-Right away, Ms O.

You're coming with me.

I'm so happy I can finish the rest of that soup.

Oh, the lovely soup.

He does eat soup weird.

-It's even weirder with his whole face.

-Mmm...
