Odd Squad: The Movie Page #3

---

[cross-talk]

Just around the corner.

Um, maybe we can go

one at a time

so we can walk

sadly by ourselves?

- Yeah, good idea.

- Sure.

[somber music]

[Olympia]

I'm too sad to walk.

I'll go last.

[Otis]

Yeah.

[Otis sighs]

[somber music]

[news anchor]

It's been a month

since Odd Squad went

out of business,

and Weird Team's business

has never been better.

Wow.

That's a lot of B's.

Barb LaBaBowBow, back to you.

Coming up in Sports,

we're going to skip sports

and do non-stop talk

about Weird Team.

Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba!

[announcer]

Downtown was packed today

as people crowded

to see Weird Tom -

[rapid clicking]

And now to interrupt

our wall to wall coverage

of Weird Team...

to bring you

a new Sound-check video.

Finally...

It's called The Saddest Song

in the World of All Time.

(speaking softly)

Girl...

Music has the power

to lift you up

when you're feelin' low.

But not this music.

This music is a major downer.

Even the power of song

Can't help you

When so much

has gone wrong.

Wishin' we still

had it all.

It's so empty

Now that

everything's gone

Lost,

with nothing to do

And no one to sing

this sad song to...

[awkward chuckle]

It kind of got away from me.

But I don't care

I'm gonna sing it anyway

[all]

Is it a crime

That just one song

comes to mind

The saddest song

in the world of all time...

I have experience solving cases,

I'm great with gadgets -

Question.

Can you fit in this banana suit?

Yep.

You're hired.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

No point in

going to sleep.

Why bother

With no dreams

left to dream?

Yes, that's as sad

as it seems,

Or sadder.

What does that

even mean?

Now the moment is here,

You've saved up

your saddest final tear...

I used to have a slide

like this in my office.

What?

Never mind.

Somebody juice me!

Get your own juice.

[growls]

[screams]

When nothing is fine,

I give to your heart

from mine

The saddest song

in the world of all time

The saddest song

of all time

So sad

The saddest song

in the world...

(voice breaks)

Of all time.

[all, sobbing]

Sound-check.

[all sobbing]

[grunts]

Guys, come back!

Wait.

[gentle music]

[horn honks]

Olympia!

Been a long time.

I know.

You're a banana now.

It keeps me busy.

I've been keeping busy, too!

Otis, something very odd

has happened.

You see how this leaf

looks like a cat?

The little tail part fell off,

but this is not a normal leaf!

And Weird is doing nothing about it!

I don't know if

that's really -

There's so much more!

It's everywhere, man.

Look at the weather!

Partly cloudy six days in a row.

In a row!

Super odd.

We need to get

the squad back together.

Hey, what happened to that

camp you were going to?

It sounded great!

You get to paddle canoes,

earn badges.

I already have a badge.

[sigh]

I miss it, Otis.

The squishinating,

zapping gadgets,

the Odd Squad Choir.

You weren't in

the Odd Squad Choir.

I have so many regrets.

I really miss it too, partner.

- Really?

- Really.

I get coupons working

for this smoothie place.

Let me buy you one.

I'd like that.

(shouts)

Blair, I'm going on break.

Cover my corner!

Please!

[upbeat music]

[Olympia humming]

- What are you humming?

- Nothing.

(distant)

Help!

- You hear that?

- Yeah.

(weakly)

Help...

Help...

[gasp]

Odd Squad!

Oh, Odd Squad,

I'm so, so happy to see you!

We're not Odd Squad anymore.

What he means to say is

what seems to be

the problem, Debbie?

I've been stuck in this

same spot for weeks.

Why didn't you call someone?

I tried...

I tried to get

to that pay phone,

over there,

but it took too long.

- That's odd.

- I know.

Who still uses pay phones?

Luckily I had pizza

to survive on.

I don't like crust.

If you didn't show up

I was going to have to

make some tough choices.

I see.

Ugh! It's like my feet

are stuck to the ground.

It doesn't make sense because...

because Weird Tom fixed me.

Huh?

Slime...

which can only be made by...

snails.

Snail feet?

Debbie still has snail feet?

Wait, wait, they didn't fix me?

No, Weird Tom just

made it look like he did.

[sigh]

[grunts]

Which means he probably didn't

fix anything else either.

Yes!

Ha-ha!

This is awesome!

I mean, it stinks for humanity.

And Debbie's feet.

But for me being right,

it's amazing!

[laughs]

We should tell

Ms. O about this.

Odd Squad?

Right after we get you

to your shop.

Uh-huh.

Must be thirsty

after that pizza.

I do want some...

[Otis] And that's

how Weird Tom's

beating us every time,

because he's not

fixing anything.

[Ms. O] Good work,

you little rascals.

Rascals?

Well, you're not agents anymore

so I'm not sure

what to call you.

Scallywags?

No, not good either.

Uh, Ms. O...

shouldn't you stop digging

and do something about this?

Nope.

A little help here?

I smuggled this odd-ometer

out of headquarters.

It measures all

the oddness in town.

[Otis gasps]

[Ms. O]

Here are five days of the week

along the bottom x-axis

and the number of odd cases

along the y-axis.

When Odd Squad was around,

the number of odd

things always stayed

around the number ten,

as you can see by these

bars that go up to ten.

Because we'd solve stuff,

but then new odd

stuff would pop up.

Exactly.

But look...

The numbers are getting bigger.

Since Weird Team took over,

the level of oddness has

been doubling every day.

[Otis]

Look at the bars.

It started at ten,

the next day it went to 20,

and the day after that

it went to 40 -

[Olympia]

Then 80, then 160.

When you double a number

it gets big fast.

Guys, I've been

studying Weird Team,

and I don't think they've

been solving cases at all -

Oh, you...

you figured it out, too.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Let's get our squad back.

Aw, I got my sweater all

caught up in this thing...

Uh...

I'll... I'll untie it

when I'm running!

I know you said you got

rid of the flying books,

but Dustin keeps getting

hit by something.

Ow!

There.

Did you see that?

We know what you're

up to, Weird Tom!

Shh, shh!

Please, this is a library.

- Sorry.

- Sorry.

(shouts)

Dustin!

(quietly) Can you please

swat more quietly?

You're not really

solving anything.

You're right.

[tense music]

(whispering)

You admitted that

way faster than I thought.

But why do you want

to shut down Odd Squad?

My real name is not Tom...

It's Om.

With an "O".

Don't you remember me, Oprah?

We met back in 1983.

It's you.

(whispers)

Hang on.

Ms. O was around

in 1983?

(quietly)

I know!

Just go with it.

I was twelve years old.

I'd gone through the academy.

The last step was to learn

from the two best

agents in Odd Squad:

You and your partner, O'Donahue.

It was 1983.

Did I mention it was 1983?

[cross-talk]

[upbeat synth music]

[Ms. O]

Odd Squad! Odd Squad!

Stop!

[O'Donahue]

Hey, stop right there!

Totally hold it right there,

Shape-shifter!

As if!

I can turn into anything I want.

Like a cool hover board.
