0:00:02 > 0:00:04# We are Splitsboro kids and we go to Sidekick School
0:00:04 > 0:00:08# Learning to be second best while playing by the rules
0:00:08 > 0:00:10# Maxum Man is missing
0:00:10 > 0:00:12# Now we rule the school
0:00:12 > 0:00:15# Flying, smashing, bashing, stomping, looking super cool
0:00:15 > 0:00:17# I'm a sidekick, sidekick - that's the life for me
0:00:17 > 0:00:20# Half-sized super zeros with full-sized super dreams
0:00:20 > 0:00:23# Sidekick, sidekick What an awesome gig!
0:00:23 > 0:00:26# Just like superheroes Just like superheroes
0:00:26 > 0:00:28# But only half as big Sidekick! #
0:00:35 > 0:00:37COCKEREL CROWS
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Argh!
0:00:41 > 0:00:42Good morning, Golly Gee Kid.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46It's time for sidekick lesson number 63, super-duties.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Ha-ha-ha-ha! "Doodies".
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Super-duties are tasks a sidekick must perform to keep his hero
0:00:51 > 0:00:54in top shape and looking swell.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Oh, fe-
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Those anti-matter pellets aren't going to refill themselves,
0:01:00 > 0:01:01are they, hmm?
0:01:04 > 0:01:05Uh...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10A wrinkled cape delivers only wrinkled justice.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Huh?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Sidekicks, when the world's at its most littered,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24we're the street sweepers of justice!
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Making sandwiches and getting blown up?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Doesn't a sidekick get to do something more heroic?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Ve call them super-duties.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39It sounds more exciting, doesn't Maxum Man have you doing zem
0:01:39 > 0:01:41all ze time?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Yes, he does, cos he's not missing, or anything.- Vat?- What?
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Hey, Maxum Brain, I'm done ironing the linen,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the drapes and Maxum Man's underwear.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Again. Are there any more dumb chores for me to do?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59They are being called super-duties.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- It sounds more exciting... - Exciting, yeah.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04You can call chores pizza-party-happy-jams
0:02:04 > 0:02:06and they'll still be just as boring.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10You are a sidekick, you do sidekick things. It is not complicated.
0:02:10 > 0:02:15That's the point. I thought I'd be doing more than scrubbing toilets!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, you can also scrub the toilets in the Maxum Mobile.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20I don't want to scrub anything!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23There's a toilet in the Maxum Mobile?
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Ah...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27TOILET FLUSHES
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Doesn't Maxum Man have any awesome stuff he's supposed to be doing?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Well, his inbox has gotten rather full since he's been gone.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Whoo-hoo!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Da-da-da, da-de-do-be-do-be... - Let me do it, let me do it!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I'm ready! I'm willing! I'm...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Grossly unqualified.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45The super-duties of Maxum Man could never be
0:02:45 > 0:02:47performed by a mere sidekick.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48Oh, come on.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Hmm, how about four mere sidekicks?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hmm...
0:02:54 > 0:02:57And then, after seven more hours of begging
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and a promise to vacuum his exhaust port, Maxum Brain
0:03:00 > 0:03:03said the four of us could do Maxum Man super-duties for one afternoon!
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Yeah!
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Let me see that. - I am Maxum Man's sidekick
0:03:11 > 0:03:14and I have the responsibility of holding on to the list.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19And this nifty Maxum Megatool, too. It even has giant toenail clippers!
0:03:19 > 0:03:20You keep it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Um, what are we doing at the super-retirement home?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Every month, Heroic Pines has a bingo-pocalypse tournament
0:03:26 > 0:03:29between the retired superheroes and villains and things can get...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32A WOMAN SCREAMS
0:03:32 > 0:03:34.. a little crazy.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Captain Blitzaster stole my pudding cup!
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Argh!
0:03:42 > 0:03:44How would Maxum Man solve this?
0:03:44 > 0:03:46He'd probably freeze them with his ice-breath,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49then use his mind-control to calm them down, duh.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Hmm...
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Not bad, but since I can't do any of that...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57GADGET THRUMS
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, the crisis of infinite pudding could have gone better.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yeah, setting the matter enlarger to infinity probably wasn't
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- the best idea.- Lesson learned.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13That's one chore down and only ten million to go.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Well, let's split up the rest of them.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18We can't, it's my responsibility.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20We could cover more ground if we split up.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22My vote is - I don't care.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Let me see the list. - Wait, don't! You'll rip it!
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Wow, mole-monster civil war at the centre of the earth! Yay!
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Alien attack at 3.15, oh, I've got to change.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Mine's blank, great.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Everyone else gets cool things and I'm just...- Other side.
0:04:44 > 0:04:51Escort the Princess Fla Bla-Bla to the interstellar royal ball on Mars!
0:04:51 > 0:04:53HE WHISTLES
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Duuude... later!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Ribbon cutting ceremonies? How lame!
0:04:59 > 0:05:03And why is it highlighted, underlined, in bold and glowing?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Still, it'll be nice to be treated like a hero for once.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09CROWD: Boo!
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Hello, Splitsboro!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17CRICKETS CHIRP
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Oh, is that me?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Uh, Maxum Man is busy, uh,
0:05:23 > 0:05:26fighting mole-monsters at the centre of the earth.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27Viva la revolucion!
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Yay!
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But I'm Eric, his sidekick.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I know I've got big shoes to fill,
0:05:35 > 0:05:38but I've got really big scissors to cut those shoes...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40and this ribbon!
0:05:40 > 0:05:41Boo!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46We want Maxum Man! We want Maxum Man!
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Hmm.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I now pronounce this X-ray Vision Eyeglass Centre... Open.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yay!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00This is going to be a long day.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Ambassador Mixelburp, I'd like to present my companion for tonight,
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Maxum Man.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Wait, I'm not...
0:06:11 > 0:06:14oh, I so am Maxum Man!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Boo! Hiss!
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Hissing, really?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Sssorry.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26So, um, Maxum Man couldn't be here, today.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Uh, eh, oh, fear not, citizens,
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Vana is here!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33But first, tell me,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35aren't these boots adorable?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Ah, uh, ah, ah, ow!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42So, I'm here to open this Mass-Clean Brush Emporium!
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Boo...
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Hi-yah!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Hi-yah!
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Man, I'm even bad at ribbon-cutting.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Huh, I don't know how much more of this I can take.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Mutated Pet-Groomer!- Boo!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- Quasarbucks!- Boo!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- Refurbished Super-Tights Gallery! - Boo!
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Oh, boy...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15PHONE RINGS
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Eternal ribbon cutter, here. - Dude, you done yet?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20We're all hooking up at the park to relive
0:07:20 > 0:07:22the awesomeness of our duties.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- But I've got way more ribbons to... - Boo!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27I've got to stay here and finish... gah!
0:07:27 > 0:07:28I've still got...
0:07:30 > 0:07:31I'll see you there.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- So, how was your day? - Oh, Eric, it was amazing!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I was named queen of the mole-monsters and look,
0:07:45 > 0:07:46they even gave me a mole!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Well, I defeated an invading alien army
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and everyone said I looked fabulous doing it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55So, how was Mars?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Best concert ever!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04But what happens on Mars stays on Mars.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And how about you, did you cut all the ribbons?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Yeah, sure, um, pretty much.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Ah, pretty much?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15CROWD SCREAMS
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Ah!
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Run!
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Roar!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Ah...
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Eric, how did Ribboner get loose?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Did you not cut all the ribbons?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36It was the lamest superhero-duty ever!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40The ribbons are all part of Ribboner, the giant ribbon beast.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Now that he is loose, he'll stop at nothing
0:08:42 > 0:08:44until the city is giftwrapped.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Maxum Man treated each duty as if it were the most vital.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49You should have, as well.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Why didn't you tell me that cutting the ribbons was so important?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Did you not see the highlighting?
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Ha-ha...
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Everybody knows it is the most important super-duty there is!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02He's right, everybody knows that.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- It's pretty obvious. - It's true, it's... ah!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's a giant ribbon monster!
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Roar!
0:09:10 > 0:09:12I know that thing is a monster and everything,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15but how great would it look in my hair?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Ha-ha, ya-huh.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19You've wrapped your last present, Ribboner!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23I messed up before, but it's time to cut you down to size.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25RIBBONER ROARS
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- We're right behind you, dude! - Great, then let's get him!
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Uh, no.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34We're right behind you and tied up. Sorry dude, you're on your own.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Roar!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Uh-oh.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Oh, no, he broke the scissors!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Aren't there any useful tools in this thing?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Aha, now this one I've got a lot of practice with.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Hey, Ribboner!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I have a steaming iron of justice and it's set all the way to cotton.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Roar!
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Roar!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23You have to admire his skill on those creases.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27I am Ironing Man!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29CHEERING
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I can't believe one of my sidekick chores was actually useful,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36though I still can't see what use scrubbing a toilet is.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39You've obviously never heard of Drainakis the Sewer Snake, either.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Sssorry, I'm disgusting, OK?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46That was some quick thinking... and ironing, Needles.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Hey, Vana, where did you get that ribbon?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Oh, this?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I figured since you defeated it and all...
0:10:53 > 0:10:55Argh!
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Vana?
