The Troop (2009) s02e01 Episode Script

It's go time.
[crash sounds]
Ugh!
Gas particles in the air,
freezing agents missing.
It was definitely here.
Well, the monster's
gone now.
No way, it can't
just disappear.
The Ice Ghoul
is made of ice, Jake.
It probably shifted
to some kind of H2O:
ice, water, even mist.
That's why they call it
an Ice Ghoul.
[bubble sounds]
Let's find him.
Alright I got
the lead on this.
Wait. Really?
Yes, this is my thing,
chemistry.
Just because I slipped
up back there
with the garbage doesn't
mean it'll happen again.
Ahhhh!!!!
Felix! Felix!!
Are you okay? Talk to me.
[bubbling]
[loud roars]
Jake, nooo!!!
No!!
Hayley.
Warm up Jake. It's okay.
Did I get him?
Yeah, Jake, you got him.
Done.
What do you think?
It looks nothing like me.
It's an Ice Ghoul
for my comic.
Then what was
I posing for?
I just wanted you to sit
still for a while--
you eat fries weird.
Ridiculous.
Ever think
about asking her out?
Who?
Hayley.
You guys were pretty
cozy together
while she was
thawing you out.
Hayley and me?
That's crazy.
Why, did she say something?
I can teach you how
to get her.
I'm quite the love tutor.
You, a love tutor?
You get nervous around
the CPR dummy.
She has a name
and it's Alexandra!
Jake, I've created a foolproof
algorithm for dating success.
You've lost your mind.
Suit yourself.
But here comes one of
my graduates.
Ow!
Teach me.
Great.
Let's go over some
pick up lines.
First, the compliment:
Hey, that's a fun top."
Second, the romantic:
"Was there an earthquake
because you just rocked
my world."
Third, the direct
approach:
"Hi, my name is."
Fill in the blank.
She knows my name.
Perfect, so you're
ahead of the game.
Go.
Hey.
Hi.
That is a fun top
for an earthquake.
My name is blank.
The Ice Ghoul did more
damage to your brain
than I thought.
Felix Garcia, you have
been granted an interview
with The Developmental
Organization
for Remarkable Kids.
D.O.R.K.?
D.O.R.K. is an elite school
for super geniuses.
Please join us for
an orientation tour.
We look forward to the pleasure
of judging your brilliance.
This day has finally
arrived.
You're not gonna leave
The Troop, are you?
Leave "The Troop?"
No way.
But if I never took the tour,
I'd regret it.
Now be honest, did you ever
think in your wildest dreams
that it was possible for me
to become a D.O.R.K.?
Yeah.
Definitely.
Thank you for coming,
Mr. Stockley,
But I think I can handle
the Welcoming Committee
on my own.
I'm a guidance counselor.
It's my job to care
of the students.
Besides, some of the new kids
give away stuff
from the gift basket.
So, how are we gonna be able
to tell who the new girl is?
Here is a picture of her
at her old school.
Tomorrow I'd love
a peach.
Cadence Nash?
I'm Mr. Stockley.
Unless you're in charge
of detention, expulsions
or have change
for the soda machine,
we'll never speak again.
Thanks for coming.
Welcome to Lakewood,
I'm Hayley Steele.
I know exactly who you are.
You think you can tell
everything about a person
just by one look.
Sure, when they're
your type.
Completely predictable.
Predictable?
As if.
I'm a--
[saying the exact same things]
Oh!
Yeah, predictable.
Don't bother
showing me around.
It's my fifth high school.
I'll figure it out.
Heyyou can't just park
your motorcycle over there.
It's not my motorcycle.
Felix Garcia, I am Dr. Nairobi,
headmaster of D.O.R.K.
What do you think
of us so far?
So far, sir,
it's just adoor.
Exactly.
And that's just
the beginning.
Follow me.
Amazing, isn't it?
And soon, we'll
have a machine
that automates
these doors.
Ah, Radhika,
this is Felix.
Will you show him around?
Hello Felix, I was
just about to go
to the school's
miniature golf course.
Would you like
to join me?
There are nine holes,
one for each planet
in our solar system.
Technically,
there're only eight.
I made them keep Pluto.
It's my favorite.
Mine too.
Hayley, I'd like to
ask you something"
No, that's lame.
"Hayley, you and I have
known each other"
Arghhh!!!
Come on, Jake,
get it together.
Just a date.
Hey.
Hi.
Hey, umwill you
go out with me?
Me?
I would love to.
What's your name?
Uh, Jake, but I meant
to be nice
to the new girl.
That's so sweet of you.
It was?
Of course.
I thought I'd never
make friends
and here you are making
me feel like I belong.
Pick me up at 4:00.
And dress nicer than that.
UhCadence, I'd like
to talk to you about Jake.
I think there's been
a mistake.
Oh.
Are you guys a thing?
No, but
Oh, good.
'Cause Jack's so cute.
It's Jake.
And you see I think
he was about to ask me out
That's so weird,
because Jack just asked me out.
Still Jake.
Jake. Gosh, it would have
been so embarrassing
if I called him
Jack on our date.
Thanks for looking out!
By combining nascent
nano-technology
and plush, recycled cotton,
I successfully created
a facial tissue that
will scan your mucus
for all your vital signs
and 73 infectious diseases.
Now, would anyone care
to try?
You.
[alarm wailing]
You might want to visit
the school nurse right now.
And whoever has the locker next
to him might want to go also.
I give you
the future of
human health.
[snapping finger sounds]
What's with the lights?
A fusion issue
with the solar panels?
That's D.O.R.K.'s
snack bell.
Dr. Nairobi says that
our intelligent brains
are sensitive instruments.
No reason to attack them
with loud noises.
That's a weird way
to run a school.
Snacks, snacks, snacks
Is that a robot
with fajitas and pizza?
Yes.
Then again, who am I to question
proven educational techniques?
So Felix, how do you like
our institution?
In a word, LOVE.
You fit in well, Felix.
Your theories on
alternative energy,
molecular biology and
boogers are first rate.
By the power vested in me,
I present you with this:
Are you saying?
Today you are a D.O.R.K.
[snapping finger sounds]
All I'm saying is
you seemed nervous,
like you were trying
to do something else
when Cadence made
you ask her out.
Made me?
Hey, I know exactly
what I'm doing.
Totally in control.
Mm-hmm.
Help me open this.
There's no mistake.
Unless there's
someone else you think
I should be
going out with?
Well, maybe someone who
knows your name isn't Jack.
It's just a nickname.
Cadence called me that
all last period.
She gives one to everyone.
Oh, really?
What's mine?
I forgot.
Are you lying?
Yes. She calls you
"rerun."
Rerun?
Like "seen it before?"
That's not very nice.
No, like "seen it before",
like it's familiar,
predictable.
Like your "summer faves"
playlist from seventh grade.
So now I'm a whiney
pop song?
Is that what it is?!!
Oh!!!!
Uh, gee that's a fun top
Hayley?
D.O.R.K. is an
amazing opportunity,
but the Troop is such
a big part of my life.
Why can't I have both?
That's life,
but don't worry--
I'll find a replacement.
I found plenty
before you
and I'll find plenty
after you.
Sure, Ill be able to find
someone who can design weapons,
build rockets, and
crochet me afghans
Aww!
Mr
Aww, we took this after we
almost got burned to ashes
by the Electro Raptor.
Good times.
Are you sure you'll be
happier there?
Yes, in this school
people think I'm a nerd.
But there?
I'm a D.O.R.K!
We have an important job
here too, you know.
We save the world,
and we're
friends.
Exactly.
How can you leave?
D.O.R.K. has robots
and fajitas.
I'll help you pack.
[crash sound]
I'll find some glue.
Methanospirillum
Check mate, done!
Congratulations, you have
just set a new school record
for the multi-dimensional
thought test.
Yes!!!
(Robotic voice): Congratulations
Felix, very impressive.
Let's do it again.
I want to beat
my own record.
[cell phone]
Turn that off!
Dr. Nairobi bans shrill
sounds from D.O.R.K.
Also not a big fan
of Hip Hop.
Let me just take this.
Mr. Stockley, please
stop crying.
I'm meeting you
for lunch tomorrow.
[sobbing sounds]
Okay, I'm hanging up now.
Radhika.
Hey, Radhika, was
that an earthquake
or did you just rock
my world?
Still got it.
Radhika
Ulgh!
Felix help!!!
Now, the trick
to Foosball is
that.
Good shot.
Thanks.
Most guys might feel a little
insecure if a girl beat them
this badly at anything.
I'm losing?
I thought we were tied.
It's 2 to 23.
You're like the Amazing
Xenon of Foosball.
The Amazing Xenon is--
An alien stranded
on Earth
who uses his telekinetic
abilities to fight crime
until he can find
a way home.
Wellyeah.
I'm impressed.
It's kind of an obscure
comic book.
Oh, please.
Gargantuan Rudy
is obscure.
Xenon is niche.
Game!
So, how do you know so much
about comics?
Move around as much as I do,
you try to find something
that stays the same.
Comics are like that.
I could always pick up
where I left off.
Yeah, I love comics too.
Actually, I've been working
on one of my own.
Wow!
Wait a sec!
Is that Rerun?
No!
Well, I draw every girl
I think's pretty.
So you think Hayley
is pretty?
Look, I could draw you
So you think
I'm pretty?
You are.
Don't you know that?
Of course, I do.
I just like making you
say it.
Speaking of obscure,
check this out.
Oh Felix,
such a shame
you have discovered
my project early.
Your brain needed a few
months to ripen.
Dr. Nairobi, or should I say
brain-eating Gorb.
You know who we are,
human?!
Pretty easy to figure
out what
with your enormous
brains and tongues
sticking out of
her head.
Then, you know how
we're going to eat you.
Oww, that hurt!
What kind of a doctor
are you?
Here's your third pizza.
Wow, you really
were hungry.
Would you excuse me
for a second.
I need help!
Dr. Nairobi is a Gorb
who wants to eat my brains;
any smart brains, so tell
Hayley to be careful.
What about me?
UmI think you'll be fine.
Don't worry, Felix,
I got it.
Hayley?
Hang tight, we'll be
right there!!!
Jake, come on,
we need to go.
What's she doing here?
She's following us.
She's not following us.
Hayley, tell her.
Umno time for that!
See?
Jake, come on, we have
urgent Mime club stuff.
Mime club?
Sorry, my friend's trapped
in a box and can't get out.
I'll call you!
Let's go!
A pyramid, clever.
But I'm more clever.
By my calculations,
I'm at least four inches
out of your reach!
To be fair to me, I was
just eye balling it.
You take the roof, I'll
check for an open window.
How about the front door?
I meant after we checked
the front door.
Are you kidding me?
Some brainiac school
with her
is cooler than hanging
with me?
Cadence, just let me just
say something
That's a fun top.
You need to go home.
It's not safe
for you here.
No, it's not safe
for you.
No one steals my date unless
I want my date stolen,
I don't want to fight
about this.
Well, I kinda do.
Girls fighting over me!
Man, I wish there were
more people around.
We have to save Felix.
But you'll continue fighting
over me later, right?
[crash sound]
Up here!
[laser fire]
[laser fire]
Aaargh!!!
The game is over,
Felix.
And thank you for bringing
us another tasty brain.
If you want a tasty brain,
you can try mine first.
That hurts.
What's going on?
That's our bell here.
Our bell
I've got an idea!
Jake, call my cell phone.
I'm right here and
I'm almost out of minutes
for the month.
Just do it!
[dialing]
You don't have me
on your speed dial!
[loud cell phone ring]
Ahhhhhh!!!!!!
[laser blasts]
[laser blast]
[laughs]
Now, who's the dummy!
Okay, I am burning
my hand.
Felix, you saved me.
It was all of us.
Stranger, you saved me.
It was mostly me.
Here's your date, Jake.
You two can get back
to drooling over
comic books together.
Aha! You were spying.
No, you're just
a loud talker.
I told you, I'm just being
nice to the new girl.
While you guys argue,
I'm doing the right thing
and unfreeze her.
Ow, Not the right thing.
What's going on?
I thought I was
about to punch her.
Uh I don't
remember that.
Look, Jake,
go have fun.
You being nice to the new
girl is very cool, very Jake.
Really?
Pretty unpredictable.
You feel like a pizza
or three?
Let's go.
