WE TRAVEL
THE WORK INVESTIGATING
ANYTHING STRANGE...
WEIRD...
AND ESPECIALLY ODD.
OUR JOB IS TO PUT
THINGS RIGHT AGAIN.
[Theme music plays]
Fast clips show the agents' adventures.
[cheering]
Agents say SHIELDS UP!
Opal says WHO DO WE WORK FOR?
WE WORK FOR ODD SQUAD!
The Odd Squad golden shield appears against a black screen.
[rousing music plays]
[paper furling]
A file reads "Overdue."
[engine roaring]
The agents travel in a flying van.
Opal says GREAT WORK, TEAM!
[palms slap]
Oswald says HEY OPAL.
HOW COME YOU ALWAYS GET TO SIT
AT THE FRONT AND FLY THE VAN?
Opal says OH YOU CAN SIT HERE IF YOU WANT.
Oswald says THANK YOU,
I'D LIKE THAT ACTUALLY.
[warning siren blares]
ON SECOND THOUGHT,
I'M TOTALLY FINE BACK HERE.
Van computer says PROXIMITY ALERT!
PROXIMITY ALERT!
Orla says WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
Omar says I THINK... THAT.
A black plane flies near them.
Opal says WHAT IS THAT?
[loud buzzing]
A tube stretches out from the plane into the van carrying two black balls.
Van computer says ALERT!ALERT!
VAN BEING BOARDED.
[belts unclasp]
[alert sounds stop]
Zeno and Zusa appear wearing black uniforms, white shirt and mustard ties.
Zeno says GREETINGS, MOBILE UNIT.
Opal says WHO ARE YOU?
Zusa says I'M ZUZA, AND THIS IS ZENO.
WE'RE THE XES.
Zeno says WE ENJOY WHISTLING.
[harmonised whistling]
Omar says SO... UH... WHY ARE YOU HERE?
Zusa says THE XES CLEAN UP MESSES
AT ODD SQUAD.
AND YOU HAVE A BIG ONE.
Zeno says AGENT ORLA,
YOU HAVE VIOLATED CODE 7685
AND ARE HEREBY OFF THE SQUAD.
[laser zaps]
Zeno uses a laser to turn Orla into a peasant.
Omar screams and says WHAT?!
Opal yells WHAT'S GOING ON?!
Oswald says CODE 7685
WAS A LIBRARY VIOLATION!
[inhales sharply]
I KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS
THE LIBRARY AND MUSEUM PERSON.
ORLA, DID YOU EVER TAKE A BOOK
OUT OF THE ODD SQUAD LIBRARY?
Orla says YES. I HAVE IT HERE IN MY CUBBY.
Zeno says THAT BOOK WAS TAKEN OUT
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO
AND ODD SQUAD RULES STATE THAT
IF A BOOK ISN'T RETURNED WITHIN
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS,
YOU'RE KICKED OFF THE SQUAD.
Omar says THAT'S RIDICULOUS!
ACTUALLY, FOUR HUNDRED YEARS
IS A REALLY REASONABLE
AMOUNT OF TIME TO RETURN A BOOK.
[Orla exhales]
Omar says BUT STILL, WE CAN'T LOSE ORLA!
Opal says WAIT!
THIS BOOK WAS TAKEN OUT
FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO, TODAY.
Zusa says EXACTLY.
Oswald says SO TECHNICALLY,
WE HAVE UNTIL THE END OF THE DAY
TO RETURN IT.
Zusa says FINE.
RETURN YOUR BOOK
TO THE MAIN LIBRARY
AND HAVE THE HEAD LIBRARIAN
SIGN THIS PIECE OF PAPER
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
AND THEN, YOU'LL BE
BACK ON THE SQUAD.
Oswald says OKAY.
Next, at a library, Oswald says THIS IS GOING TO BE EASY.
THE HEAD LIBRARIAN,
OCTAVIUS, AND I?
WE GO WAY BACK.
Octavius sits behind a desk. He wears glasses and has red curly hair.
Octavius whispers WELL, WELL, WELL...
IF IT ISN'T OSWALD,
FORMER LIBRARY MUSEUM PERSON.
Whispering smoothly, Oswald says HOW'S IT GOING, OCTAVIUS?
ARE YOU STILL
PROTECTING THOSE BOOKS?
Octavius whispers I SWORE AN OATH, DIDN'T I?
TO PROTECT AND SHELVE.
Opal says UH...
WHY ARE YOU GUYS WHISPERING?
Octavius and Oswald say SHUSHH!
Oswald whispers SORRY, BUT BEING QUIET
IS THE NUMBER ONE RULE
IN THE LIBRARY.
PLUS, IT FEELS
GOOD TO SHUSH AGAIN.
Octavius whispers IT'S A GREAT WAY OF KEEPING
THINGS CALM AND QUIET.
I WOULD SHUSH ALL DAY IF IT
DIDN'T MAKE MY THROAT SO DRY.
Oswald whispers ME TOO!
[rhythmic shushing]
Orla says OCTAVIUS!
I DO NOT WISH TO SPEND ANOTHER
DAY IN THIS CANVAS OUTFIT
NOW THAT I HAVE FELT THE WONDERS
OF A COTTON POLYESTER BLEND.
HERE IS MY BOOK,
PLEASE SIGN THIS PAPER.
[book thuds]
Octavius whispers I CANNOT SIGN.
Orla whispers BUT I RETURNED MY BOOK!
Octavius whispers YES, BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY
THE OVERDUE FINE.
AND THE FINE FOR BEING FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS OVERDUE IS...
[drum roll]...10 DOLLARS!
[gasps]
Esmeralda has long black hair. She wears a denim dress.
Esmeralda says HI, GUYS.
Opal says ESMERELDA KIM?!
Esmeralda says I'M HERE TO RETURN A BOOK.
BUT THEN,
I CAN HELP YOU FIND 10 DOLLARS.
Omar says SOUNDS GOOD.
Orla says SURE.
Esmeralda says I JUST HAVE TO GO TO
MY VOLLEYBALL GAME FIRST.
AND THEN FLUTE PRACTICE.
AND THEN I HAVE TO PICK UP
MY SISTER FROM THE DENTIST.
SO...
MAYBE THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW?
Oswald says I'M SORRY,
WE HAVE TO DO IT TODAY.
Esmeralda says GUESS IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
HEY ESMERELDA KIM, THANK YOU.
Octavius says SO, CAN YOU PAY
THE FINE OR NOT?
Opal says LET'S CHECK IN THE VAN.
[gears clicking]
Orla says ONE, TWO, THREE,FOUR, FIVE DOLLARS?
Opal says THAT MEANS WE NEED...
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR...
FIVE MORE DOLLARS TO GET TO TEN!
HOW DO WE GET FIVE MORE?
Oswald says WE SPEND THE MONEY WE HAVE.
JUST WAIT, YOU'LL GET IT.
OKAAY, YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT.
I'M SUGGESTING
WE SPEND MONEY TO MAKE MONEY.
Opal says LIKE START A BUSINESS!
Oswald says YEP.
EVEN THOUGH IT BREAKS
LIBRARY RULE NUMBER TWO...
DON'T START A BUSINESS
INSIDE THE LIBRARY...
I SAY WE SPEND OUR MONEY
ON LEMONADE SUPPLIES
AND PUT UP A LEMONADE STAND.
Orla says OCTAVIUS WILL NEVER LET US PUT
A LEMONADE STAND IN HIS LIBRARY.
Omar says OPAL AND I WILL FIND
A WAY TO KEEP OCTAVIUS BUSY,
SO HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
YOU'RE THERE.
Back at the library, Omar and Opal say HI!
Octavius says SHUSH!
Opal says COULD YOU HELP US FIND A BOOK?
Octavius whispers SURE.
'HELP ME FIND A BOOK'
IS MY MIDDLE NAME.
OCTAVIUS JAMES HELP
ME FIND A BOOK DONALDSON.
[tinkling]
IT'S A NIGHTMARE FOR PAPERWORK.
ANYWAYS... UMM...
WHAT'S THE BOOK TITLE?
Opal says DON'T KNOW.
Octavius says AUTHOR?
Omar says OOH FORGOT THAT TOO.
Octavius says SUBJECT?
Opal says JUST REMEMBER THAT IT WAS RED.
Octavius says CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
FOLLOW ME!
COME ON. LET'S GO.
Meanwhile, Oswald says SO WE NEED 10 DOLLARS
AND WE STARTED WITH FIVE.
[watch beeps and buzzes]
Oswald activates his special watch that shows dollar banknotes.
Oswald says BUT WE SPENT ALL 5 DOLLARS
ON LEMONADE SUPPLIES.
WHICH MEANS
WE HAVE NO MONEY LEFT.
[watch beeps down]
SO WE NEED TO SELL
10 DOLLARS WORTH OF LEMONADE
TO GET TO OUR GOAL.
HOW MUCH DO WE CHARGE PER CUP?
Orla whispers WE WANT MANY PEOPLE TO BUY IT,
SO LET US CHARGE VERY LITTLE... ..ONE CENT!
Oswald whispers I BELIEVE THAT'LL WORK.
Orla whispers LEMONADE, GET YOUR LEMONADE!
ONE CENT ONLY!
Oswald says ONE CENT!
[Jackalope cackling]
At the library, Octavius whispers THIS RED BOOK?
Omar and Opal say NO...
Octavius whispers AAH... OKAY.
THIS ONE?
Omar and Opal say OH YE-- NO.
Octavius whispers PUT THIS BACK AND... THIS ONE?
[faint coughing]
Omar and Opal say NO.
Opal says WAIT! THAT'S THE ONE!
WHOOPS, ALREADY READ IT.
Loudly, she says BYE!
Octavius whispers SHUSH!
[footsteps recede]
Oswald says GREAT NEWS EVERYONE.
WE SOLD 100 CUPS OF LEMONADE.
Omar says WAY TO GO, GUYS!
Oswald says BAD NEWS IS, SINCE WE ONLY
CHARGED ONE CENT PER CUP,
WE MADE 100 PENNIES.
AND A 100 PENNIES EQUALS...
Omar says 1 DOLLAR?!
THAT'S LESS MONEY
THAN WE STARTED WITH!
Orla says I SHALL NEVER PAY THE FINE
AND I SHALL BE KICKED
OUT OF ODD SQUAD FOREVER.
Oswald says IT'S OKAY.
I HAVE ANOTHER IDEA
FOR A BUSINESS.
BUT... I'M GOING TO NEED
ANOTHER DISTRACTION.
Loudly, Opal and Omar say HI!
Octavius whispers SHUSH!
Opal says WE NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN.
Omar says BUT THIS TIME IT'S NOT A BOOK.
IT'S A MAGAZINE.
Octavius whispers INTERESTING.
UMM, MAGAZINE TITLE?
DATE OF PUBLICATION?
ANY INFORMATION WHATSOEVER?
[faint coughing]
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. FOLLOW ME.
Oswald says WITH OUR NEW BUSINESS,
WE'LL FIGHT THE ONLY DANGER
KNOWN TO READING,
PAPER CUTS!
Orla says WITH THESE BANDAGES!
Oswald says LETS START
WITH WHAT WE KNOW MONEY WISE.
[watch beeping]
WE HAD 1 DOLLAR.
Orla says THEN WE BOUGHT
THAT PACKAGE OF BANDAGES FOR 1.
Oswald says OHH, WE'RE BACK DOWN AT ZERO.
WE NEED TO MAKE IT TO 10 DOLLARS AGAIN.
Orla says WE SHOULD CHARGE MORE THIS TIME.
2 PER BANDAGE!
Oswald says I BELIEVE THAT WILL WORK.
Octavius whispers THIS ONE?
Omar and Opal say NOO.
Octavius whispers LOOK, YOU WANT TO TRY THIS ONE?
Omar and Opal say NAWW...
Octavius whispers WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE?
Omar and Opal say NOO.
Octavius whispers OKAY, MAYBE IF I CHECK
MY CATALOGUE...
Omar says I REMEMBER
THE COVER WAS BLUE!
WITH A KOALA ON IT.
Opal says IN A SPACESHIP!
Octavius whispers SHUSHH...
BUT ALSO, VERY COOL!
Opal says THAT SHOULD TAKE HIM A WHILE.
Octavius whispers FOUND IT!
THE ALIEN KOALA MONTHLY,
OCTOBER 1994.
Opal says WE... UH, ALSO NEED
THE DUTCH VERSION.
Octavius whispers OH-KAY. SURE.
[bugle sounds]
Standing behind a table, Orla whispers MAY THIS STOP VITAL FLUIDS
FROM LEAVING YOUR BODY!
HOW DID WE DO?
[watch beeps]
Oswald says WE SOLD FOUR BANDAGES.
SINCE WE CHARGED THEM
2 DOLLARS A PIECE,
WE CAN SKIP COUNT
BY TWOS AND THAT'S...
[cash register dings]...TWO, FOUR, SIX,
EIGHT DOLLARS.
[watch powers down]
SO WE NEED TO SELL ONE MORE
BANDAGE FOR 2 DOLLARS TO GET TO TEN.
[paper rustles]
Hark reads nearby. She has long black hair in a ponytail.
Orla says HARK!
Hark says YOUR BANDAGES ARE TOO EXPENSIVE.
I'LL USE NATURE'S
BANDAGE INSTEAD.
Oswald whispers WE NEED TO LOWER THE PRICE!
Orla whispers WE WILL MAKE LESS MONEY
BUT AT LEAST WE WILL BE
MAKING SOMETHING.
BANDAGES!
