First Day Part Two Odd Squad

My name is Ms O.

This is also me.

This is what a new season looks like, but back to me again -

I'm in charge of an organisation made up of kids that investigates

anything strange, weird and especially odd.

Our job is to put things right again.

Yay!

We are...

I sort of just squish them together like that.

What's going on in here?

Oh, hey, Ms O. So,

I was going to do the creature duty interviews by myself,

but, as it turns out, it affects a lot of different people.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, like me.

Because my partner is a creature.

Potato!

Wait. Olaf is a werewolf?

The signs were there all along.

HE HOWLS

-Oh, yeah.

-Yeah, that makes sense now.

-I guess, yeah.

-Did someone say they were hungry?

No, not even close.

Well, eat my food and I'll make you a balloon!

-Er...

-Um, you people sort out this Creature Room thing.

You, come with me.

All right.

OK.

I don't get it, Ms O.

Maybe I need to try different kinds of food.

Or maybe it's because you're yelling in people's faces.

-I'm not so sure.

-Trust me, I've been there.

If you're always yelling, that's all people think you do

and they don't see that there's a lot more to your character.

I get it.

Eat my food and I'll make you a balloon.

Erm, creepy whisper isn't any better, but thank you.

And you can keep the balloon.

Oh.

SHE TITTERS

Like you have a choice.

-I'll just be five minutes.

-Not bad, actually.

Olympia, listen to me.

You can't give up.

You've tried so hard and you're just going to leave it all and go back to

-the Academy...?

-Whoa, whoa, guys! Get these floaters out of here.

O'Duffey, please, we're just bringing them to the Containment

Room and then Otis is going to find a new partner.

Are you looking for a partner? Cos I'm looking for a change.

No, I don't want a new partner, I want you to be my partner.

Why? You obviously don't like me.

You barely talk to me.

I've said more words to you than anyone in my life.

You just don't notice because you say more words than most people do

in their entire lives.

Yeah, I can see that.

You're smart, you know about Odd Squad.

If you could just get over this and get back to work.

Get over what? The fact that I failed?

I know what'll cheer you up.

Eat my food and I'll make you a balloon.

Whoa! Floating, floating.

-Thank you.

-See?

Medium-sized voice.

Odd Squad, do not listen to her.

She will not give you a balloon.

Yeah, I didn't get my balloon.

-Me neither.

-Wait, you all know her?

Yeah, she delivered me breakfast.

Yes, she delivered me lunch.

She delivered me lunch, too.

A salad. It wasn't the best I'd ever had, but it wasn't the worst.

-Huh.

-Otis, you were right.

It did have to do with the food.

It didn't matter that they ate in different places because

all the food was delivered by... I'm sorry, I don't know your name.

-Oh, Party Pam.

-Party Pam is what they have in common.

-Ah.

-Oh.

-Oh, yeah.

-She's right.

-And for the record,

I never said I'd give you a balloon, I said I'd make you a balloon.

Are you saying your food makes people into balloons?

I feel like I've been really clear about this.

-You could have been a bit clearer about that.

-People, people, it's OK!

Now that we know what caused this, we can fix you.

I can't wait to tell Ms O we solved our first case.

Oh, she's not here. She went to the park for her lunch break.

With one of my sandwiches.

Another satisfied customer!

You gave her a sandwich?

-Yes.

-That makes you float?

-Yes.

-And now she's outside where there are no ceilings?

I want to say no, but the answer's yes.

O'Duffey, send us to the park.

-Pam.

-Oh, OK.

-Ah, ah.

-Whoa.

Preparing to squishinate.

One day I'll get to see headquarters.

Squishinating.

So, how's the sandwich business?

I could use a change.

-It's really bad.

-I'm still interested.

Great. It's...it's really bad.

There.

Help! I do not like being out of control.

Do that jumping thing and catch her!

-What?!

-You know, that jumping thing you did to get the businessman down?

-There's nothing high enough to jump on.

-Then how do we save her?

-I don't know.

-OK, what do we have?

We have gadgets, we have really good positive attitudes.

-I've a sandwich from that lady.

-You can eat that.

-And float up.

To get Ms O.

SHE SIGHS But then I'll float away, too.

Not if you're tied down.

Yes!

-Ready?

-Ready.

I think you have to keep...

Yeah, yeah, I'll eat more.

SHE ROARS

I can see space.

I think it's expanding.

Otis, I'm going to miss her.

Hurry, Olympia!

A flock of pigeons!

I'm coming, Ms O!

Come on, come on.

-Gotcha.

-Yes!

This 100-pound pound cake should make you heavier.

Assistant?

-O'Duffey?!

-I'm just trying to find my place in the world.

Just make sure you eat it nice and...

-THEY SCREAM

-..slow.

I'd like to have a word with you.

-OK.

-Are you all right?

Yeah. I'm just... Sorry I gave up before.

But then you un-gave up and figured out the answer and saved Ms O.

But I still quit. It's not what Olive would've done, or Otto.

Hey!

Too loud.

Hey. I don't know them, OK, but

I know that not everything's always perfect and easy the first time.

You try your best and if you need help from someone else, so what?

It doesn't make you a bad agent.

It makes you a good agent because you can work with other people.

And can we please stop talking about feelings?

Yeah.

So are we partners or what?

Does this answer your question?

No.

I was going to join the Scouts if the Academy didn't work out.

I'll just, erm, get a new suit, back at headquarters.

SHE TITTERS

And your name is...?

-Ohlm.

-Why would you like to run the Creature Room?

Well, I have a lot of experience with creatures.

Like, my friend is a guy...

with a dog.

Er, no, what about actual creatures?

-Like a cat?

-No, we mean creatures with horns and weird eyes

-and antenna.

-Like a fish?

Who's next?

I thought you and Oscar were doing this together.

He's getting more snacks. Ohlm ate them all.

A very impressive application, Owen.

-Thanks.

-You know your way around headquarters,

you know the safety protocols.

And you have creature experience.

-Big time!

-If we offered you the job...

..how soon could you start?

In about 100 years.

-We need someone today.

-I could move some stuff around.

Maybe start in 98 years?

-That still won't work.

-Hey, we tried.

Who's next?

What makes you think you'd do a good job running the Creature Room?

What makes you think you'd do a good job running this interview?

-What?!

-Have you ever interviewed people before today?

-No, but I'm a doctor...

-Carting out that old excuse again, huh?

-Well, then, Orchid, maybe we could...?

-Hey.

Who's the one asking the questions, me or you two?

-Us two?

-Wrong answer, again!

What's happening?

What's happening is this interview is over.

Who's next?

Hey, there. I'm Oscar and this is Dr O.

-Dr Who?

-Different person.

-And your name is?

-Oce, like the ocean.

OK, Mr Ocean, why would you like to run the Creature Room?

Well, I've always had a way with creatures, like this little guy.

Whoa! He looks pretty dangerous.

Super-dangerous, dude.

But watch this.

Impressive.

I appreciate the feedback.

All right, so, we'll get back to you after, you know,

we interview the other people and...

Oscar, there's no-one else.

-Huh?

-Everyone else is part of the interviewing team.

HE HOWLS

Whoa! That dude is furry.

Well, congratulations, you got the job.

Oh, yeah!

-THEY CHEER AND CLAP

-Yeah!

Not a bad first day, you two.

Go get settled at your desks.

Wait, we actually get to see the inside of headquarters?

Things are quiet, for now, but don't worry,

something very odd will happen soon. I'm sure.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Go!

I still let myself have one yell per day.

Partner, we have arrived.

-We found our secret handshake!

-That was an accident.

-No, no, no, no,

that was a sign that we are perfect partners. Admit it. Do it!

Ms O, I was pulling files on Olympia,

but there's no record of Otis going to the Academy.

That's because Otis didn't go to the Academy.

Then...where did he come from?

Sounds like you could use a private investigator.

I'm still looking for a change.
