A Case of the Sillies Odd Squad

My name is Agent Olympia. This is my partner, Agent Otis.

This is my lunch after I ate it, but back to Otis 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.

Hurry, Olympia!

I'm coming, Ms O!

Who do we work for? We work for Odd Squad.

-Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

-What seems to be the problem, sir?

I'll tell you what the problem is,

that Tube entrance you just came in from.

-There are Odd Squad agents coming through here all day.

-Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

One agent is hardly what I'd call coming through here all day.

-I can't get any work done.

-I think I know what the problem is.

-You're the central hub.

-Say what?

This Tube entrance is a really busy spot.

You're, like, the Chicago O'Hare of Tube entrances.

I thought everybody flew through Denver?

Er...Denver or Chicago. However you want to look at it, really.

I'm getting it shut down for you as we speak.

Thanks for coming, Odd Squad.

Happy to help. Have a great day.

Oh!

Right, it's closed now.

We should have seen that one coming.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Sing a C note for me.

-BOTH: Ahhhhhhhhh!

-It's just as I suspected.

-You're fine.

-Phew!

-That's a relief.

Keep playing tag and read plenty of nonfiction. Ha-ha!

-What's so funny?

-Nothing's funny. Ha-ha-ha!

Then why are you laughing?

I didn't laugh. Ha-ha-ha!

I did laugh.

Look into my eyes! What do you see?

-It's like a circus on spin cycle.

-Oh, no!

-I have a case of The Sillies!

-You have The Sillies?!

Whoa-whoa-whoa, people. What's The Sillies?

It's a condition that makes you do and say silly things.

And if it goes untreated, you stop talking and run around like this.

Wh-aa-aa-aa-aa!

That wasn't me laughing out of control,

that was me showing you what it looks like.

Wh-aa-aa-aa-aa!

That was me laughing out of control.

-There must be a way to stop this, like an antidote.

-Yes! Under there!

-ALL: Under where?

-Ha-ha! You said "underwear!"

-Oh, no, I'm done for.

-No, you're not. I have an idea.

You want me to work with Ocean?!

I don't even work well with myself!

You're a scientist and you deal with creatures.

-The two of you combined, it's kind of like a doctor.

-I get it!

She stands on my shoulders

and we wear a big coat to look like one person.

No, you don't have to look like one person, you act like one person.

Here's Dr O's medical book.

I need you to combine ingredients to make an antidote

to cure Dr O's Sillies.

Olympia and Otis, keep an eye on Dr O.

Don't worry, Ms O, we got this under control.

Wh-aa-aa-aa-aa!

We're in the process of getting it under control.

Yeah. Go, go, go!

Let's take these ingredients one at a time.

Ingredient number one - a tiny storm cloud.

-I think that's it.

-Oh.

THUNDERCLAP

Oh, gnarly!

Next, we need a 15-centimetre moustache.

-What's that?

-A moustache?

It's hair guys grow on their upper lips to look ironic,

or like a private investigator in Hawaii.

No, that other word - centimetres.

Let me introduce you to this, it's called a ruler.

It's used for measuring lengths. How long something is.

Hand me those moustaches, they're in the cupboard.

Line an end up with the first sign on your ruler, your zero mark.

See what marked number it's next to. Make sure not to move it.

This moustache is eight centimetres. Boo! Too short!

Let me take one of them hairy caterpillars for a spin.

25 centimetres. This is a long fella!

15 centimetres.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have found the moustache we're looking for!

Catch you later, mouth brow!

Next, we need a bricklebush root.

Which Dr O is out of!

Chill out, dudette, Ocean knows where to find more.

-Dr O!

-Dr O!

We've lost her trail. She's the mayor of Silly Town by now.

INCOMING CALL

-Hello?

-Hello?

-Who is this?

-Who is this?

-It's a prank call from Dr O.

-It's a prank call from Dr O!

Wait! I think I hear her voice. Keep her talking.

-I'm Otis.

-No, I'm Otis.

THEY YELL

-What the...?

-What is this?!

Plastic-wrap trap! Dr O'd!

Come on, it's over here!

-I forget which one is the Greenhouse.

-I think it's in here!

Whoa! Wrong greenhouse. Sorry.

Ah, here we go!

There's the bricklebush root!

-How much do we need?

-Um...20 centimetres.

I line up one end with the first mark on the ruler,

then I look at the other end to see how long it is.

-20 centimetres. Bam!

-First try.

This is like the plant in the Creature Room. What's it called?

-A Grabber plant.

-Argh!

-Ah! No good. You got to sing.

-What?!

Grabber plants are very melodious creatures.

I'll give you some accompaniment.

-But...but I don't know what to sing about!

-How about your arm?

OCEAN STRUMS GUITAR

# I like my arm

# It bends at the elbow nicely

# I've washed it at least twicely. #

We did it! High-five!

Er...if you've only washed that twice, I'm going to pass.

-Dr O!

-Dr O?

Whoop!

That is the fifth banana peel we've slipped on today.

Where does she keep getting these?

-BOTH:

-Costa Rica! No.

India! No. Mexico! No.

Banana Room! Yes!

-Dr O?

-It's worse than I thought.

Dr O? You're better than this.

You're not Dr Silly, you're Dr O.

We're more than just your co-workers, we're your friends!

Sure, you could stay on the path to Silly Town...

Or you can help us help you. It's your choice.

-WHISPERS:

-What is your choice?

Pffffft!

A-ha-ha-ha! Argh!

Plastic-wrap trap.

So that, as the astronauts say, is that.

What's the last ingredient, Ocean?

Four litres of non-fat strawberry yoghurt.

Am I reading that right? What IS that?

Non-fat strawberry yoghurt?

-No, that other weird word.

-Litres?

I'm a creature guy.

Wait! I know this one! You measure with this sticky thingy.

Rulers are used for measuring length.

You measure a liquid using containers that measure capacity.

-That's how much something can hold. Got it?

-Oh.

This jug, when full, is four litres of non-fat yoghurt.

Right now, it's at the two-litre mark, which means it's only

halfway to four litres, so we need another two litres.

Well, good news, we've got a Squanzo Bonzo in the Creature Room.

It cries actual non-fat strawberry yoghurt tears.

Really? Wow!

That's great. But so weird.

Also, what's the bad news?

He's a super-happy dude.

What's up, Ocean? You have a lady friend! What's up, lady friend?

-Hi.

-Hi is my favourite word!

How are we going to make him cry, exactly?

-Oh, with great difficulty.

-Difficulty is the best!

INCOMING CALL

-Hello. Diane speaking.

-Diane?

I don't like to give away my identity.

-I knew!

-Just to let you know, Dr O has been captured.

She is actually tickling Otis so hard, he's crying right now.

So maybe we're captured.

Hold the phone!

-Did you just say Otis is laughing so hard, he's crying?

-Yeah.

Dr O has her tickling game down.

Get over to the Creature Room now, stat or on the double!

Pick one!

I have an idea how to get that yoghurt.

-SQUANZO BONZO LAUGHS

-Tickle-tickle-tickle!

-Ha-ha! Keep laughing, buddy!

-I love being tickled!

Come on, you're almost there!

SQUANZO BONZO LAUGHS

-That should be all we need!

-Right!

Moment of truth!

DR O LAUGHS

We got it!

DR O LAUGHS

Well, did it work?

I think a better question would be, "What's next?!"

That's probably her way of saying thank you.

Ha-ha!

THEY SHRIEK

No, that's my way of saying thank you.

Also, thank you. That's also my way of saying thank you.

I'll lead with that next time.

Best day ever!
