Bad Connection

[seagulls squawking]
[bicycle bell rings]
-Hmm?
-[door creaks]
Uh, hello?
[echoing]
-Romy?
-[toy squeaks]
[squeaks]
-Come play with us, Bobby.
-[gasps]
Forever…
[all] And ever, and ever.
-[door creaks]
-No, no! No, no, no! [screams]
Hey, Romy.
Pearly, Wartyback, Pigtoe.
Come on, guys. Play nice.
Sorry, they just want me for themselves.
Guess, they're kind of… [chuckles]
…shellfish. [laughs]
-[groans]
-I like to clown around too.
Your sisters are the real monsters.
When did they get so creepy?
[groans]
In happier news, I really feel like
today is the day I free myself from evil.
Doug said he's gonna make my arm talk.
Wait, how do you make an arm talk?
[Doug] Talk! This spell commands you.
[chanting in made-up language]
-Wow.
-[gasps]
It's got a life of its own.
-It's got a life of its own!
-[arm growling]
[pants, screams]
[groaning]
-[arm growls]
-[screams, groans]
Evil, reveal your master.
-[gasps]
-[chanting in made-up language]
[Bobby straining, groaning]
-[Bobby] Ow!
-[arm growls]
[chanting in made-up language]
Great. Anyone speak ancient evil?
Nobody needs to know anything these days.
Not since we invented this.
What is that thing?
The future!
Well, at least it used to be the future.
[computer beeps, chimes]
[modem dialing]
[electricity crackles]
[Ouimperian 1] Hey,
what's with the Internet?
[Ouimperian 2] Who turned off the screen?
[Ouimperian 3] My social media
influencer videos.
-[Doug] Behold!
-Mmm?
[Doug] The dark web.
Aha!
Of course, it's the king of spades.
[Doug gulps]
[clears throat] Sorry. Now, let's see.
Ah, yes, there it is. The Ragata Rock.
It's an arcane lexicon etched in stone,
and it could be the key
to translating Bobby's evil curse.
Interesting. [grunts]
No, no, no, uh, that wasn't me.
Must be some leftover magic.
-[yelps] Yeah, sure was.
-[groans]
[Doug] The rock is said to be buried
deep down underneath our town
in the lost city of Ys.
Fun. So how do we get
to this lost city of--
Oh, wait. I get it. It's lost.
Legend has it that Ys
was built out of ore.
Carved by my ancestors
and the first protectors,
the Ancient Order of the Light Keepers.
[gasps] Wait, can you zoom on the shields?
That is beyond my technical abilities.
But I can zoom in manually.
Enhance.
Mmm, it's still a tad blurry.
Mmm. Yeah.
How abouts we zoom in for you?
-I knew I knew that pattern.
-You're right.
They're on the manhole covers around town.
We did a two-part Doomies' special feature
on them.
Got zero views, and yet 10 dislikes.
Hmm. The seal of the Light Keepers
is usually placed as a warning.
Don't worry.
We can totally hack the sewers.
Am I right, Kim? Up top!
Come on. Not high-fiving our first team-up
is guaranteed bad luck.
Let's show her how it's done.
[chuckles]
Hmm? [strains, yelps]
[grunts]
[groans] Guess my arm
doesn't like high-fiving either.
It's all right. 'Cause your magical arm
still can't beat my magical feet.
[Romy grunting, groaning]
Uh-oh. The magic's moving down
to my feet too.
[Bobby vocalizing]
[clears throat] Anyhoo, team time?
I'm the chosen one
here to protect Ouimper.
-Not babysit.
-[gulps]
I'll complete the mission alone.
[scoffs] I can't believe it.
She's trying to muscle us off the team.
Let's outdo Kim and find that rock first.
Oh, that'll really show her
the-the power of teamwork.
-[grunts]
-[Bobby grunts]
You coming, Doug?
[Doug] I would love to, but I, uh,
I have so many other mystical matters
to attend to here.
But take this trusty compass.
Good luck.
Hmm?
Mmm. Ooh.
-[chuckles] Oh.
-[phone chimes]
Wait, we've got class?
Oh, I was kind of hoping
with school destroyed,
there'd be no school.
Relax. It's online class.
We can just learn on the go.
Uh, no way.
We've got to abort the mission.
You know Mr. Fondue
is gonna be watching me like a hawk.
-[students chewing]
-[Mr. Fondue] Bobby, stop chewing loudly.
But I-I-I wasn't chewing.
[Mr. Fondue] Bobby,
stop fidgeting so loudly.
But I-I wasn't fidgeting.
[Mr. Fondue] Bobby,
stop thinking so loudly!
But I-I wasn't thinking, I think.
One more strike, and I get detention.
[sighs]
Tending to Fondue's geese
and they goose me every time.
[goose honks]
I'm still impressed Teach found a way
to make detention even more evil.
But don't worry. He'll never catch on.
Trust me. I have a plan.
[grunting, straining]
[grunting]
-[retches]
-[retches] It stinks.
Hopefully this leads to Ys
and not another tetanus shot.
Better check Doug's compass.
Um, I think it's gone south.
[scoffs] Figures.
We could cover more ground if we split up.
No way. Teams stick together.
Besides, if something bad
happens to one of us,
who's gonna record our last words?
Gotta love that optimism.
[sighs]
[chitters, screeches]
You think we're close?
I don't know if we're any closer
to finding that lost city,
but we're definitely lost.
-[phone chimes, buzzes]
-Oh, and here comes class.
You said you had a plan, right?
Just follow my lead.
[beeping]
[chuckles] Hi, Mr. Fondue.
-[voice glitches]
-[student] Huh?
Romy, for living in
such an opulent mansion,
I'd expect better Wi-Fi.
You might as well be calling
from a subterranean tunnel.
[chuckles] What would I be doing in a…
[distorted] …subterranean tunnel?
Bobby, you better be at home
and not using a fake background.
[chuckles]
You're in the Palace of Versailles,
and he's suspicious of my background?
I appreciate that this new normal
isn't easy,
but I expect you all
to be on your best behavior.
Especially you, Bobby.
-[gulps]
-Just nod along, and he'll never catch on.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
-[Romy shrieks]
-[Bobby whimpers]
[grunting]
[Bobby groans, gurgles]
Huh?
-Uh-oh, keep your eyes peeled for--
-[Romy] Uh,
I'm just gonna take a wild guess
and say that.
Eggs aren't exactly spooky though.
-[eggshell cracking]
-Hmm?
Ooh, maybe it's a dragon egg!
-Let's hope it imprints on you.
-Hmm?
-[screaming]
-[Mr. Fondue] Bobby!
-Quit your clowning!
-[Bobby screams]
[grunting]
-[stammers]
-[rumbling]
-[gasps]
-[grunts]
-[Bobby whimpers]
-[Kim grunts]
-[Bobby screaming]
-[Kim grunts]
Hold on. I can help!
[screams]
[monster screeches]
[chuckles]
-[chuckles]
-[whimpering]
[yelping]
[screeches]
-[Kim groans]
-[Romy whimpers]
-[screeches]
-[screams]
Oops. Sorry, partner.
-You okay, B?
-Not really.
My first kiss was with a monster.
[spits, groans]
-What kind of monster was that anyway?
-One that kisses on the first date.
[Mr. Fondue] Bobby!
Care to explain yourself?
Oh, um, that? [stammers]
I was just, uh, playing around with,
uh, different filters.
[student] Hmm?
-[dog barking]
-[students chuckling]
Ooh.
Everyone, focus! This is school, remember?
Thanks for your help.
You twerps are out of your depth
and in my way.
You should've just stayed in school.
Uh, we are in school, so--
[blows raspberry]
Okay, maybe we showed ourselves up
on that one. But there's still time.
Wait, Romy. Where'd you get that?
I'll take a wild guess and say him.
Or him.
Wait, maybe that's a her?
As long as it's not future us's.
Who are these people?
[Romy] I don't know,
but at least they lent a friendly hand.
-[chuckles]
-Actually, that's a leg bone.
I know. Just roll with it.
Check out Suzy's filter. It's so cat-like.
-[snores]
-Uh.
[sighs] Kids and the Internet.
[sighs] No more cats. No more filters.
Let's just watch a movie.
-[students cheering]
-Quietly!
[narrator] Ouimper extraordinaire.
During its heyday,
our town's fishing factory
could process over 1,000 fish per minute.
Mmm. Doesn't a can full of fish
sound delish?
But believe it or not,
there was a time
when Ouimper's fish factory
used to be a Camembert factory.
And before that, a beret factory.
And before that, a "Camem-beret" factory.
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but these endless tunnels
have made learning fun.
[narrator] And who could forget
Ouimper's rich ore deposits?
These metals are so powerful,
they set off the Earth's magnetic field.
-Wowza.
-Did you hear that?
Our ore deposits
send magnetic fields spinning.
No need to repeat it.
I was sufficiently bored the first time.
No, doofus. The compass.
It wasn't broken.
It was reacting to the ore!
Hmm?
And Doug did say
the lost city was carved out of ore.
[chuckles] What do you know?
We just need to follow the compass.
-Nice one, Roms.
-[laughs]
Well, looks like we hit a wall.
[thuds]
This place is one endless stupid maze.
[growls]
[Romy, Bobby gasping]
[both] We found the lost city. As a team!
You snotballs didn't find anything.
You just pointed.
Now watch me complete this mission alone.
[monster screeching]
[Kim grunting]
-[Kim groaning]
-[monster screeching]
-[chuckling]
-[Kim groans]
-[monster screeching]
-[grunting]
It wasn't just one bad egg?
[echoing]
Shh.
-[monster screeching]
-[grunts]
[groans]
-[yelps]
-[Mr. Fondue] Bobby,
something you'd care to share?
[pants] Nope.
-Just a-- Whoo!
-[straining]
Fascinating documentary, sir.
Really gripping.
[Kim grunting]
-[Romy gasps, grunts]
-[Bobby whimpers, grunts]
Oh, we did it. The Ragata Rock.
[thuds]
[scoffs, grunts]
-[chuckles]
-[grunting]
[Bobby, Romy grunting]
[gasps]
[gasps]
-[gasps]
-[gasps]
-We just ruined the runes.
-This is why I work alone.
None of this would have happened
if you'd given us a chance.
A chance to keep getting in my way?
I told you I'm the chosen one.
Not a babysitter.
-Um, guys--
-Chosen one?
All you do is punch things and complain.
-Would you two pl--
-Would it kill you to be friendly?
Just cut it out!
-[chittering]
-Oh, yep. That one's on me.
But at least
I got your attention. [chuckles]
[screeches]
And theirs.
[screeching]
[groans]
[shrieking]
Yeah, see? This is how a team works!
[chuckles] Thanks for saving us, Kim.
Oh, I'm not saving you.
I'm saving your pieces of the rock.
Semantics.
[shrieking]
[grunts]
Uh--
Bobby, who's that with you?
She's, uh… [stammers] …my babysitter
here to make sure I'm studying hard.
[chuckles]
-[chuckles] Only babies have babysitters.
-[laughs]
Oh, that was so embarrassing.
Eh, you'll live.
-Maybe not.
-[yelps]
I see a light at the end of the tunnel!
Okay, now you're taking
this metaphor too far.
No, there's a literal light. Look!
Hold on.
[grunts]
We're safe.
Oh, sweet surface dirt, I love you.
-[rumbling]
-Hmm?
[rumbling continues]
[Bobby yelps]
[shrieking]
You've got cursed lips.
[Romy gasps]
Uh, I have a feeling that underground maze
wasn't to keep us out,
but to keep them in.
And I set them free.
[Kim grunts]
So much for being
the protector of Ouimper.
Take my piece of the rock
and get out of here.
There's no way you can fight 'em
all by yourself.
Just go,
or I'll feed you to the monsters myself.
We can help you if you just
put your ego aside for a second
and finally give us a chance.
Okay.
What's the plan?
Oh-- Oh, the old fish factory.
Film said it used to be
filled with canning machines.
And it used to be
a Camembert factory before that.
Right. Not important right now.
I understand.
I bet those grinders could mince up
that crabby army in no time.
Subliminal learning for the win.
[Kim] Go set up.
I'll keep these little monsters busy.
Ah, like a true babysitter.
[Kim growls]
[gulps] Save the world first.
Joke later. Got it.
-Over here, jelly brains!
-[metal clanging]
[chittering]
[screeching]
[Bobby, Romy panting]
[strains]
Romy, it's not working.
There.
[grunts]
Beam me up, Bobs.
[both straining]
[Mr. Fondue] Bobby!
[students laughing]
I told you to stop playing around
with face filters.
But if you like games,
let's play a pop quiz.
-[students] Aw.
-And Bobby, as you'll probably fail,
I want you to know
my geese are feeling extra peckish.
-[geese honking]
-[shudders]
Hey, I've got this, remember?
-[ringing]
-Hello, Doug--
[Romy] Doug, we need you to take down
the town's Internet. Like now!
I'm on it.
[telephone dings]
Not all heroes wear capes.
[modem dialing]
[distorted] Huh? What?
-[sighs]
-Huh?
-[metal clanging]
-Time to put your back into it.
-[beeps]
-[alarm blares]
It's alive!
[monsters screeching]
[grunting]
Give it to 'em!
[grunts]
[grunting]
-[screeching]
-[grunts]
[both] Kim!
-We gotta stop the machine.
-[Kim screams]
[Bobby whimpers]
Let's hook her up!
[straining]
I can't reach it.
[grunts]
-[grunts]
-Bobby!
I'm okay.
[groans]
-[grunts]
-[groans]
No!
[screams]
Woo-hoo!
Bon appétit. [laughs]
Gold stars all around.
Especially for you, Kim.
Hate to say it, but I couldn't have
done it without you two.
-Look at us tearing down our own walls.
-[grunts]
I'm proud of us, team. [chuckles]
Huh?
Baby steps. She'll get there.
[phone chimes, buzzes]
Oh, looks like the Internet's back.
-[student] Mmm.
-[Mr. Fondue vocalizes]
-Uh, Mr. Fondue…
-[goose honks]
Whoa! [gasps]
That's it. Class is canceled!
[students cheering]
Aw, I was kind of enjoying it.
At least now we can concentrate
on defeating the forces of evil.
[Doug] Well, thanks to you three,
this rock will reveal
all the answers we seek.
-Wow.
-Wow.
[Bobby, Romy scream]
[both chuckle]
[chuckles]
[theme song playing]
