The Troop (2009) s02e08 Episode Script

A Sniff Too Far

[roars and hisses]
TroopGrid said
that was going to be a Zylork.
We could have brought
the paralyzers!
Okay, TroopGrid is jacked up,
but not to worry,
we just need to set up
the Crypto Smasher!
[crash sounds]
Okay, this could take
a while.
[shrill]
Ahhhh!!!!!!
Did it get her?
No. It's not coming
from her.
It's more shrill.
[shrill]
Ahhhh!!!!!!
Etienne, what're
you doing here?
I invited Kristen up here
to ask her
to the Valentine's Day dance.
Then I started screaming
and fainted.
The monster
No, afraid of heights.
But when I came to,
I saw that!
[roars]
[shrill]
Ahhhh!!!!!!
So Hayley, are you going
to the Valentine's
Day dance tonight?
I don't know.
I don't have a date.
The right person
hasn't asked me yet.
[roars]
Etienne, help!!
A little focus!
This isn't about your
date to the dance,
it's about mine!
Don't worry.
We'll save Kristen
Eventually.
There's no time for this.
I have to save her.
Then she'd have to go
out with me then.
What?
I already bought my suit
for the dance.
[loud roars]
Hey, bonehead--
Jake!
I've got one question
for you.
[loud roars]
Can you fly?
Didn't think so.
My plan worked!
You're like a super hero!
A scared, fainting superhero.
How can I thank you
for saving my life?
Off the top of my head,
will you go to the Valentine's
Day dance with me?
Of course!
I just want to make all
your dreams come true.
Yes.
What's that?
A Snark.
It's what we use so people don't
remember stuff like this.
What?
No!!!!!!
Not to her!
What am I doing
on the roof?
Those clouds really did look
like two cheeseburgers kissing
but it's gone now.
So we should probably
get outta here.
Wait, Kristen,
will you go to the Valentine's
Day dance with me?
I'd love to, but I already
made plans
to have fun.
It's just a dance, Etienne.
It doesn't really matter
whether you have a date.
But it does!
I'm tired of going to these
dances by myself.
Sending myself love notes,
and flowers.
You know, the stuff you do.
Yeah.
I still don't remember why it
didn't work out with Kristen,
but I've moved on.
This year, I will settle for
no one but the right person,
who is written here
on this paper.
And that person is:
Sarah Brewer.
She's the one, Jake.
Or Melanie from chem. Class.
Or Anna with the bangs.
Or Anna without the bangs.
Or Polly.
Or Brace-Face Gionetti,
but I've really gotta
learn her first name.
The point is,
don't be so down
on the holiday.
You've got to decide
who you want and go for it.
Good advice.
Just go for it!
That's the spirit, Jake.
Make Valentine's Day
your own!
Now, I'm off to
make sure
that I have a meaningful
slow dance tonight with:
Fiber plus wheat bread?"
Wait, this is
my Mom's list.
Hi.
Hi.
Jake?
I need to talk to you.
Go for it!
Go for it!
Oh, wait, Jake, Jake,
you see--
Thank you. That's so sweet.
Thank you so much.
Kick this up a notch.
Thank you so much.
[horse neighing]
Wow!
Are you kidding me?!
Thank you all, thank you.
But I can't go to the
Valentine's Day Dance
with any of you.
I'm waiting for someone else
to ask me!
Someone very special!
[laughter]
Kristen, let's give
this one more try:
Will you go to
the dance with me?
Kristen, did you hear
what I said?
I'm asleep.
I can't hear you.
But you are standing up.
And drinking a tea!
No, I'm asleep.
I hate Valentine's Day.
[beeping]
Oh, no, a broken TroopGrid.
What the?
Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Let go of the wall?
Let go of the what?
The wall.
Let go of the wall!
Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
What's happening?
Why is everything
slowing down?
Oh, I'm so glad to finally
meet you.
Me?
You're Felix, right?
UhDefinitely.
I'm Cecilia.
And you're even hotter
than my sister described.
Who's your sister?
And you think I'm hot?
No, wait, answer
the sister part first.
Her name is
[dolphin sounds]
She said she had
the most magical Valentine's Day
with you ever last year.
She said you knew all about
Eris Fairies and creatures
from other dimensions and all
kinds of neat stuff like that.
And you were wonderful in
the way that you helped her.
So let me get
this straight,
You're one of these Eris Fairies
from another dimension
but you wanna hang out
with me?
Yes?
I'm in.
If this holiday is everything
I understand it to be,
I will experience the magic
of true love, romance
and a sugar headache
all by the end of the day.
I'm sorta the king of
Valentine's Day.
Would you get rid of
this for me?
Why? It's beautiful.
No, it's hideous, just like
my boyfriend who gave it to me.
Oh great you have
a boyfriend.
Not anymore.
He's too possessive.
And sneaky.
And a total loser.
And that's why I've come
to be with you, Felix.
Who?
You.
My Felix.
The Valentine's Day King.
Right, sorry, the accent
threw me for a loop!
Good choice.
Hand me the quantum coupler.
Do you think girls
like jewelry?
You know what girls
really like?
Not being swallowed
by monsters.
If TroopGrid's
misidentifying Ratadons,
who knows what other
mistakes it's making.
Now, please hand me
the coupler.
Sorry.
I'm a little distracted--
I'm just trying to find the
perfect gift forsomeone.
[beep]
Oh my goodness,
it's aVrog?
This thing must
really be busted.
It can't be a Vrog.
They went extinct back
in 800 AD.
[scream]
Ahhh!!!!
[roars]
Whatever was here, Mr. Stockley,
seems to have gone.
What about the civilians?
I told people that there's a
wind tunnel through the school
when the right sequence
of doors are opened.
And they believed that?
Someone ought to do something
about public school
education in this town.
Okay, I'll keep an eye
out for the monster
and tell Hayley
to be careful.
I think something died
inside your locker.
Please investigate.
Love, The Janitor.
Jake!
Thank you.
Nice gifts.
They're not from anyone
special or anything.
Well, I've got one too.
Someone gave you
a necklace?
[growls]
Oh, no.
This is just a gift
I'm giving to a girl
that I want to take
to the dance.
She sounds really special.
She is very.
Well, why haven't you
given it to her then?
I mean, she sounds too good
to be true.
If you're saying she's an
imaginary girl, she's not.
Why would I buy a necklace
for an imaginary girl?
I didn't.
That would be ridiculous.
Right.
I would have to be
an idiot to do that
and I am not an idiot.
I am going to go.
Yeah, me too.
Later.
Wow, that's a weird.
You okay?
Just a little nauseous.
Speeding through time takes
some getting used to.
No worries.
I'm naturally nauseous.
That's so cute.
You know what, I think I could
slow down to your speed,
if only we could build a
Temporal Decelerator Belt
using lithium nitrate
as its power source.
A pretty girl
who speaks nerd.
Where have you been
all my life?
In the Dorgoban dimension.
Always the last place
you look.
I wish I had been there
with you.
No, you don't.
My old boyfriend, Todd,
would have torn you apart
and fed you to
the vampire giraffes.
That sounds horrible and
adorable at the same time.
Thank goodness he's not
in this dimension.
Let's go get
our day started.
[squeals of delight]
I love Valentine's Day.
I slipped.
Ahhhh!!!!
Sorry, I'll just send myself
to the principal.
Mr. Stockley, I think
I found the Vrog.
Or it found me.
Guess they're not as extinct
as you thought.
[♪♪♪]
This day couldn't get
any worse.
You leave my girlfriend
alone!
Who?
If you talk to her again
I will destroy you.
Great.
Now even monsters want
to date Hayley.
Look at everything moving!
I love this belt,
it's functional and it goes
with just about everything.
And you made it just
for me.
Anything for you.
So, that's my math class,
and my second math class
And then when we go
around the corner--
What are these?
A football trophy.
What's football?
I love you.
And if you look behind
that ridiculous thing,
you'll find what the school
is most proud of:
The highly coveted Brain
Challenge Award that I won.
Why is it so small?
Un, in our dimension, the small
trophies are the best.
Um, who's this?
Cecilia.
I'm an Eris Fairy.
Uh-huh!
Can I talk to you a second?
She's kidding!
No, she's not.
I can't tell you
how I know this
but that thing is a creature
from another dimension.
Yes, okay, whatever!
She's gorgeous and she
inexplicably likes me.
What's your point?
What you're doing
is dangerous!!!
She's not human.
You're so judgy.
No matter what she is,
she likes me for me.
Felix, are you ready?
It's a nickname!
Right.
Enjoy yourself.
Felix.
What the?
It's my Mr. Stockley suit.
Felix makes amazing
stuff, huh?
It was the only way I could
escape the Vrog.
Yet another thing this suit
is good for.
Another thing?
What are all of you doing
as me exactly?
Nothing.
What's all this?
Presents for Hayley.
They just keep coming!
Ooo, this one's
from a Saudi Prince.
Well, that's just great.
I haven't had time to go
shopping for a present for
someone.
I've been too busy trying to
survive some invisible monster
that thinks I'm
after his girlfriend.
The Vrog is a perfect
chameleon that can blend
into any surface.
Highly jealous, vengeful
and extremely dangerous.
Once it becomes
fixated on something,
it'll never let it go.
No one has had a crazier day
than me.
Try me.
I haven't even had time
to pick out my dress
for the dance tonight.
Thank you.
So, you're going?
I haven't decided.
But you just said you need
to pick out your dress.
Right. If I go.
Are you?
I'm not sure.
There's a monster after me.
And there's the little problem
of having a crush on you.
Uh-huh.
You have a crush on me?
TheVrog.
[groan]
Hayley, you have to stay
down here
until Jake deals
with the monster.
if it really does
have a crush on you,
it could try to pull you back
into its own dimension.
I have to go assemble
a Temporal Accelerator.
Enjoy your presents.
So this is a romantic
gesture in your dimension,
sharing blended cow fluid
meant for nursing?
Uhyes.
Although the way you say cow
fluid makes it sound awful.
It is more like
Cow fluid!
How strange.
In my dimension, romance
is simple and beautiful.
If you like another creature,
you give them nutrients,
like this:
No?
No thanks.
I'll save it for later.
Hmm, I'm not sure what to do
that would be considered
a grand romantic gesture
in both our worlds.
Moonlit walks on the beach?
That's how we punish
goat stealers.
Do you think we could ever
make it work between us?
Absolutely.
We'll face challenges
and we'll make sacrifices,
but at the end of
the day,
when two people are right
for each other,
the rest doesn't matter.
There's a Valentine's Day
dance tonight.
I was wondering, would
you like to go with me?
I would love to,
Felix!
Great!
Want more?
Yes.
So romantic.
She'll always
be mine!!!!
Where's my Eris?!!!
She's not your girlfriend,
okay?!
You have the necklace
around you!
Where is she?
You mean the girl
with Felix?
Etienne.
No, wait, I didn't mean
that!
I must destroy him!
I didn't mean to say
anything, I swear!
It just came out.
I've hit my head
a lot today.
We have to find Etienne
and save him from the Vrog.
He's gotta be at the
dance with Cecilia--
It started an hour ago.
We should probably go.
To the dance?
With you? Yeah, sure.
And we should probably
dress up.
As a disguise.
Exactly.
So we can blend in.
Should I get you a corsage?
Aw, Jake, that's so
Smart.
For blending in purposes.
Right.
But first, I'll get the
Temporal Accelerator
and some cologne.
Maybe a new shirt.
And
This is gonna be
so much fun!
And, um, dangerous.
And very important.
This is very important work.
Uh-hmm.
I need to change!!
Me too!!!
Yeah!
[♪♪♪]
Ooo, dancing, my favorite!
I was the champion dancer
back at home.
Sweetie, don't kick people!
Or just try to avoid
the face!
Etienne!
Hey guys, Happy
Valentine's Day.
Isn't she beautiful?
Does she have a bug
in her dress?
It's dancing.
She's dancing.
Wow, you must really like her.
Guys, focus.
Etienne, there's a Vrog monster
in the school
and it's after you.
Todd?
You named the monster Todd?
No, not me.
Its name is Todd.
It's Cecilia's ex-boyfriend.
I think he's Jealous
of our love.
That's great.
He's been beating me up
all day
because he thought
I was you.
It'll track you here and we have
to work together to contain it.
Okay, but I really don't
want this cutting
into my dance floor time.
Don't worry, I assembled
a Temporal Accelerator
which will speed us up
to Cecilia and Todd's
natural tempo and--
What?
You assembled it?
I took it out of the box.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Stockley helped.
Okay.
Jake! Where is he!
Felix!
I don't know.
Come with me!
Jake! Jake!!
The Accelerator!
Todd!
Stop acting so immature!
That's Todd?
[roar]
Yes.
[roar]
Jake, the blast didn't
phase him!
[roar]
I got to get rid of him.
No, the belt--
I won't be able to see you.
Oh, my brave one.
I'll move faster than him
without this.
And I can drag him back
to the other side.
But you and me
Relationships can be
challenging sometimes.
They require sacrifices.
You showed me that.
I have to do this,
for you.
Thank you for
an amazing day.
Felix, you're the best.
I am the best as sure
as my name is Felix.
[loud roars]
She's gone.
I'm sorry, Etienne.
At least you got your wish: a
slow dance on Valentine's Day.
No, I never got to dance.
Thank goodness because
she's a terrible dancer.
But we did have an amazing
day together.
It seems like a shame to waste
a perfectly good dance.
Yeah.
I mean, we're dressed up.
And you have a corsage
Yeah, found that
awfully fast.
You didn't have one already,
did you?
No, of course not.

Let him have this.
We'll Snark him later.
How come monsters are always
following you guys?
[laughs]
