-This tune's proper vibing, Zoomer.

-True that, Rastamouse,

but I can't help thinking there's something missing. What could it be?

Scratchy!

-SHE GASPS

-You're jamming without me.

-How come you started early?

-We've not started early, Scratchy.

-You showed up late.

-Uh-uh-uh. Me no' late. Am I, Rastamouse?

Me not sure, Scratchy. The important thing is you're here now.

So, Easy Crew, let's jam.

-RADIO CRACKLES

-Easy Crew...

Come in, come in. Are you reading me?

Message from President Wensley Dale. Come to Pow Pow Square immediately.

The President needs us. Easy Crew, let's shift.

Pow Pow Square, here we come.

-Ho-ho-ho.

-Ha-ha-ha.

Yo, Wensley Dale.

Ah, Easy Crew, me glad you're here. Nuff thanks and plenty greeting.

Me fret cos two of me dearest friends

no' show up for this important meeting.

And what meeting that, Mr President?

Gladstone Brie and Professor Branston are meant to be

helping me decided on a new statue or monument to be set up right here.

We arranged to meet here and talk about it this morning. And look,

-them not show up.

-Is that a new watch, Mr President?

-It look proper naughty.

-Yes. It brand-new and me love it,

and it proves Gladstone Brie

and Professor Branston should be here right now.

So are you thinking you want us to help with

-ideas for the statue, instead?

-Cool.

How about a giant bass guitar statue?

Or a ginormous cheese monument

made out of...cheese?

Ha-ha-ha-ha. Me want the new monument to be

something proper useful for everybody.

Thanks for the crucial ideas,

but that was not the reason me call you, Easy Crew.

Lemme guess, you want us to find out how come Professor Branston

and Gladstone Brie not turn up for your meeting.

-That's exactly right, Rastamouse.

-The Easy Crew is on the case.

-Let's shift, guys.

-Laters.

Ah, Easy Crew. What's going on?

Yo, Professor Branston. That's just what we want to ask you.

-How come you missed the meeting with the President?

-Missed the meeting?

It hasn't happened yet. I'm on my way there now

and there's still plenty of time. Look.

But the President says you should have been there ages ago.

Certainly not. I'm never late but I will be if I stay here chatting.

Laters, Easy Crew.

That's funny. Him not think him late at all.

Hmm. We'd better get over to the Museum of Music

and look for Gladstone Brie. This way.

-Yo, Gladstone Brie.

-Easy Crew, mega cool to see you.

Do you know how come the President never showed up to

-meet me in Pow Pow Square this morning?

-Huh?

That's just what we want to ask you...but the other way around.

What me meant to say is...

Wensley Dale was there in the Square, right on time.

Oh, no, no way, man. I was there at the time we agreed.

I waited ages.

-Well, then I gave up and left.

-Rastamouse, wha'gwan?

-Hmm...

Me got it.

There must be two Pow Pow Squares and the two of them

was in different places at the same time.

Me not tink so, Zoomer. There's only one Pow Pow Square in Grove Town.

-Oh, yeah. So that no' it after all.

-What's going on, man?

Rastamouse, look. Gladstone got a new watch, just like Wensley Dale's.

And Professor Branston's.

-Pretty cool, eh?

-Sure looks it, Gladstone. Where you get it?

It's my new Techno watch. Geekamouse made it for me.

-It looks well groovy and it plays rockin' tunes. Listen up!

-Cool!

-That's well wicked.

-Thanks for the demo, Gladstone.

Easy Crew, me think we should go call on Geekamouse. Come on.

Laters, guys.

Me not understand, Rastamouse.

All them dudes got Techno watches. They all knew what time to meet.

-How come they miss each other?

-Me not sure.

Maybe Geekamouse can help us figure it out. Come on.

-Oh...

-Yo, Bandulu, what happening, breda?

Me can tell you what na' happening, Rastamouse -

the orphans' day-trip to Mousetego Bay.

We got up early and we got to the bus stop in plenty time,

but Carmen and the bus - they never arrived.

That's strange.

But na' worry yourself, lickle ones. Listen up!

-Yo, Carmen, how you doing? How come you're so late?

-Late?

-But I'm not late at all.

-Me sorry but you are.

We've been waiting for ages.

That may be so but look, according to my watch, I am very much on time.

Rastamouse, Carmen's got one of them Techno watches too.

Me love them natty colours, Carmen.

You'll love this even more.

Look, Geekamouse filled these watches with many wicked features.

But these lickle ones still waiting for them daytrip to Mousetego Bay.

Take 'em there right away, please, Carmen?

Absolutely, Rastamouse. Climb aboard, everyone.

Come on, crew. Let's go to Geekamouse's crib.

Hold up. There's been a change of plans, Zoomer.

-But first, me need to call the President.

-Huh?

PHONE RINGS

-Greetings.

-President Wensley Dale speaking. Mm-hmm. Me see.

You want me to call Gladstone Brie and Professor Branston.

Ask them to meet me in the Square

at exactly three o'clock. What's that?

You're going to tell Geekamouse to be there, too. How come?

Ah, that plan does sound proper, Rastamouse.

Three o'clock, Rastamouse said. Where is everyone?

-Yo, Geekamouse, you cool?

-Rastamouse, there you are.

But why you ask me to come and meet the President?

And how come him and them other mice are not here?

This is the time we're supposed to meet, three o'clock. See?

Maybe so Geekamouse but it's not the time that Wensley Dale's watch say.

-Huh?

-All day me been checking out everybody's Techno watches.

Eh, they's proper cool, huh?

With the music and the lights and nuff awesome features.

Mm-hmm, they sure is cool, Geekamouse.

Only problem is they all showing different times.

-What you saying, Rastamouse?

-Some of them watches say

it's earlier than it really is and some say it's later.

-How come, Geekamouse?

-Hmm...

Oh, me think me know what the problem is. Me think the fault is mine.

Me was so busy making those watches look cool that me

not even think about telling the time.

Them Techno watches look cool and sound smart,

with all the lights and the music and more,

but if none of them is showing the right time,

them's pretty much useless, for sure.

So everyone's watch showing a different time.

And that's why the President's late.

Late? Me no' late. Look, bang on time.

I think you'll find that you're early, Wensley Dale. Just look.

There you go, just what me was thinking,

all your watches show completely different times.

Me suspect that Gladstone Brie's watch tells a different time too.

-Then how come him not here?

-Me think maybe he is. Listen.

-HE SNORES

-Yo, Gladstone. Wake up!

-It time for the meeting.

-Oh, here you are at last.

-How come you're all so late?

-What? We bang on time.

-No, I am early.

At least I thought I was early...but now I understand.

These Techno watches look crucial, but they're only useful

if they all show the right time.

Here, allow me.

Here we go. I am setting them all to GMT. Ha!

-That's Grove Town Mouse Time. Perfect.

-Thanks, Professor.

Me really sorry me cause all this confusion, Mr President.

I mess up your monument meeting, twice in one day.

That's all right, Geekamouse. These sure are wicked Techno watches

and now they all tell the right time, they're proper useful too.

True that. And now you know a bit more about telling the time.

Geekamouse, me got an idea how you can help with the monument

problem and make a bad ting good.

-CROWD CHEERS

-Welcome, everyone.

It gives me great pleasure to switch on the Grove Town Techno clock.

HORN HONKS AND ALARM RINGS

-Geekamouse, your Techno clock is wicked.

-Oh, thanks, Rastamouse.

Me set it exactly right, so I'll always show Grove Town Mouse Time.

Now everyone can be sure they're on time for everything,

-including our jamming sessions. Right, Easy Crew?

-Hee-hee-hee.

Easy Crew, come in, come in. Are you reading me?

Message from President Wensley Dale.

Listen up, you three. Rastamouse, come in, come in.

Me love the clock and your crucial plan.

-That's what me call perfect timing.

-Thanks. Me love that. Irie, man.
