The Troop (2009) s02e09 Episode Script

[car engine start]
[car honk]
Okay, okay, okay
Hands at ten and two,
keep it steady.
Okay.
[car screech]
So, when do you think we'll
be back today, Mr. Stockley?
Oh, we are going to be out here
for quite awhile.
You need all the practice
you can get.
Why, it's not like you have
some big date to get to.
I am going on a date
with Rex.
Seriously?!
Why are you going out
with that guy?
Well, he's nice and he
actually asked me out,
unlike someone else I know.
[bump]
Hayley, you're driving!
You gotta remember that!
Okay, okay.
I'm getting an
emergency signal
from the Stillwater Troop?
Me too.
Help us
came mist
You're breaking up.
Help!
Hayley! The road!
[bump]
I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry!!!!
What's a "Green Czar?"
Well, it's a bit complicated,
but to put it in
layman's terms
I have no idea what it is.
No one does.
I asked around.
But I feel like
I'm perfect for it.
I don't get it.
Why do you want to give
yourself more work?
What a great way to introduce
myself to the school!
I wish my school
were more green.
Oh wait, it is!
Could it be that
new kid Kirby?!
And I will answer "Yes,
and you're welcome."
It sounds like the
most boring thing
in the entire world.
[sing-songy]
Oh, Kirby,
I'm glad I found you.
There's a problem
with your posters.
Really?
What's wrong with them?
They're in my hallway!
Suddenly not
so boring.
I don't know what
a Green Czar does,
but it sounds like a huge
popularity contest,
so I have to win it.
My dad's the mayor,
I don't lose elections.
So why don't you save
yourself the humiliation
and Back out now?!
Boom!
Challenge presented!
Why don't you stay
out of this, Freak Girl?
"Freak girl?"
Kirby, I just found a
reason to be interested
in your little campaign.
Challenge accepted.
[laughs]
I sure hope you know what
you're doing, Cadence.
Of course I know.
So what is an election?
[bell ringing]
I've got access to the cameras
at the Stillwater Troop HQ,
but all I see is some kind
of fog on the floor.
Better step on it.
I'm driving the speed limit!
Yeah, if we were
in a school zone.
There is no reason to break
the laws of the road, Jake.
Hayley's right.
Safety first.
but a little faster
would be okay.
I can't believe this place
went out of business.
Who wants to eat a bucket
of fried flounder?!
Yeah, but they had fish sticks
on a stick!
They called them
fish stick sticks.
I loved them!
One bucket of flounder,
extra jalapenos, extra cheese.
(Computer Voice):
Password verified.
They've got a much
cooler elevator.
And a deep fryer.
Lucky.
Kirby, you need to take
this more seriously.
She's campaigning like crazy
and you're doing nothing.
Not true.
This is one candy bar
that will not make its way
to an undecided voter.
Stop eating that!
If you want to win
this election,
you have to get
the eye of the tiger,
you have to want it.
Okay.
I want it.
That's a little kitten,
not a tiger.
Seriously!
Come on, man!
Remember these
delicious treats
are just a glimpse
of the benefits
of electing me as
your Green Czar!
And unlike my opponent,
I will not publicly
humiliate myself.
[laughter]
Wow.
Just wow.
[laughter]
She used the pants picture?!
That is exclusively
for friends
on my grandmother's
Face Place page.
I don't know what hurts more,
her trying to humiliate me
or the fact that
she friend-ed Me-maw.
Me-maw?
Yes, Kirby.
Let it out!
I am going to crush her!
There's the tiger.
This must be the panic room.
[distant scream]
Help me!!!
Fingernail marks.
Like they were dragged out.
That's not scary,
that's not scary.
It's going to be okay,
Mr. Stockley?
I know it's okay!
Why wouldn't it be okay?
You act like somebody is
in a creepy, underground
deserted foggy headquarters
before.
Wow.
They didn't even have time
to hit the Lockdown button.
That's standard procedure.
Maybe it's faulty.
Great! Now, we're locked in,
Jake!
At least now we know if we
ever need a lock down,
it's working.
How're we going to get out
of here, Jake?
Why?
Are you worried about being
late for your date?
Stop talking about
my awesome date.
Awesome?
I never said--
Guys,youmaywanttotake
alookatthis.
[laser fire]
Well, the blasters
are no good.
What are we going to do,
Mr. Stockley?
Mr. Stockley?
This is exactly like
that movie, "The Fog-o-dile"
about that mutant crocodile
who lived in the fog.
That's just a movie.
And they were in space!
Exactly like this.
Your attention, please!
As a preview of my tenure
as your Green Czar,
I have hooked up the
school's electrical system
to the solar panels
I placed on the roof
in only 30 minutes.
Wow!
That was fast!
Really fast.
Way too fast.
Don't worry,
it'll be great.
And now, your next,
and first Green Czar
gives you--
[drumroll sounds]
Solar Power!
Kirby?
This is perfectly normal.
I installed an energy modulator
that will kick in any second
[clears throat]
That's my energy modulator!
Without that--
[explosion]
Not normal!
Get your "Vote for Mazie"
flashlights!
They also come
with an Mp3 player
and songs already loaded.
I am not giving up.
The motto of the
Bancroft-Cadworth's
is "if you can't outsmart them,
wear them down.'
Mmm!!!
But in Latin.
What's Latin for loser?
[students laughing]
It's okay,
Mr. Stockley?
This is nothing like that
movie "The Fog-o-dile."
Good thing, too.
Because that scene
where they thought
they were totally safe,
but then that guy
got bitten in half
by the Fog-o-dile,
was so scary.
Ha-mmm!
Not helping, Jake.
I know what I saw.
It's something scary
that drags you down
and who knows what
happens down there?
Take it easy,
Mr. Stockley!
We have to keep our heads,
remember?
You got my back, right?
Promise me you got
my back?
Okay, we promise.
Nothing is going to happen
to you, all right?
[loud roars]
Mr. Stockley!
Can you hear us?
It's just like he said;
he was there and the next
thing you know,
it just popped up
out of--
(Both): The fog!
What if the monster isn't
in the fog?
What if the monster
is the fog?
Then why isn't it
attacking us now, huh?
It just fed.
Then it will be hungry
soon enough.
We should stay close.
How are we gonna
get this thing
if our blasters don't work?
Fog is made of water,
right?
We could freeze it,
maybe.
Good idea.
I'll paddle, you hold on.
There's gotta be a freeze ray
around here somewhere.
Why's Mean Face walking around
with a bunch of suits?
I bet she got her Dad
to send his advisors
from the mayor's office.
Why are you smiling?
That's terrible news.
It means she's worried.
[laughs]
Oh, you're serious.
Well, she should be worried.
I asked my Dad
what to do,
and he told me the secret
to solving any problem.
Believe in yourself?
Throw money at it.
Attention future constituents!
I know we started off
on the wrong foot
[booing]
I know I can win back
your trust,
I will make goodness rain
from the sky!
Operation Sweet-drop is a go!
Go! Go! Go!!!
You're dropping hard candy
out of a blimp?!
They're supposed to be on
little parachutes!
Where are the little
parachutes!
Ooops!
You think you've won?!
You've won nothing!
"If you can't outsmart them,
wear them down!"
But in Latin!
Kirby!
Come in out of the candy!
Ahhhh!!!!
We can't get Kirby
and WatchComs are
blocked down here!
Sure would be nice to know
I built this right.
I have confidence in you.
You do!
It was hard enough to lie
the first time, Jake.
Let's just do this, okay?
We'll draw the fog monster out,
you I'll freeze it,
I'll smash it and then--
I guess you'll be home
in time for your date.
Oh yeah, right.
For luck.
Yeah, for luck.
We should probably go around
and surround the
Right, right.
Good call.
[growls]
Can we agree dropping hard
things on prospective voters
is not a good idea?
Yes!
I can't help feeling like I'm
somehow partially responsible
for my own fall
in the polls.
Stop eating those!
Okay!
Sorry.
(Mazie): First he tried to burn
down the school.
Then he tried to kill you
with candy.
What's next?
Is he going to be cruel
to puppies?
This is bad.
Hi, I love puppies
and I love this school.
And my Dad's the mayor.
Vote Mazie for Green Czar.
I'm Mazie Nakamura and
I approve that message.
Why don't you just
get out of the race
while you still have
some dignity left?
Because he's going to win,
that's why.
What?!
I am?!
Come on man!
Si vos non-decipius,
subidere.
Why does that sound
familiar?
It's your family motto!
In Latin!
Oh, right.
You're gonna get
subsider-ayed"
Latined
like there's no tomorrow.
Hmph!
Yeah, move!
Hi kids, I hope you had a
chance
to watch my announcement
about the puppies
in our community.
[roars]
Now Jake! Freeze it!
[laser fire]
Smash it, Hayley!
Hayley!
[coughing]
[loud roar]
[loud roar]
We can't stay here!!
What about the Panic Room?
I think we qualify!!!
Run for it!
[loud roars]
[pounding]
Why does the panic room just
make you want to panic more?
Because it's a small,
locked room.
With limited air
and no exit.
Sorry, not helping.
Why can't we have a monster
we can just blast and go home,
like normal people?
It's gonna be okay.
[pounding]
and for those reasons,
and so many others,
I would be honored to serve
as your Green Czar.
Thank you all
and Vote Mazie!
[applause]
[booing]
You're adults.
This is rude.
Look, you can vote
for whoever you want.
I hope you'll vote for me,
but it's your choice.
While you decide,
please enjoy
The Famous Brothers!
[crowd cheers]
The Famous Brothers?!
They're like famous!
You can't buy an election
with nobodies.
[cheers]
And just in case they need
a little more convincing
Giant bags of money, okay
I can't put my finger on why,
but this feels like a huge
waste of cash.
How can one put a price
on being Green Czar?
And I'd pay even more money
to figure out what that is.
Here we go!
[cheers]
[pounding]
Looks like this is going
to be a really bad day
for four people.
You, me, Mr. Stockley
who's the fourth?
Rex, obviously.
Sitting alone.
Waiting.
Oh pfffft!
He'll be fine.
Really?
I thought you guys were
heating up.
Yes!
So, you are heating up?
No, heating up
The fog Monster!
We tried freezing it,
let's try heat!
Heat?
Evaporate it!
We can turn on every
appliance in here.
Heat the place up.
[pounding]
They have a waffle iron?
We can't even have
a hot plate!
Fog burns at 80 degrees.
We're almost there!
[pounding]
It's not enough!
We're not going
to make it!
If I have to go, I'm glad
it's with you.
I'm such an idiot!
Body heat!
Hayley, you're a genius!
What?!
You think that was just a scheme
to get rid of the monster?
It wasn't?
It was a real
I mean, you know
What?
It was a real good way
to get rid of the monster.
Yeah.
It was.
[groans]
Mr. Stockley.
Thank you.
Anytime.
I was in the shark.
Only it wasn't a shark,
it was a fog,
like in that movie--
Fog-o-dile?
No, "Fog Shark."
That was a scary movie.
Twice to open.
Kirby, I really think
you're gonna win!
My exit poll shows you
leading Mazie three to one.
How many people
did you ask?
Four.
I don't know, Cadence.
I feel kinda cheap,
like I stooped
to Mazie's level.
That's what politics
is all about.
(P.A): Attention students,
the results are in.
The new Green Czar is
KirbyBancroft-Cadworth
TheThird.
[cheering and applause]
You happy?
Actually no.
Listen everybody,
thanks for your support,
but I can't accept
this honor.
I just bought your vote
and that's not how
I wanted to win.
(Student): We'renotgiving
themoneyback!
You can keep the money.
[cheers]
Maize, the job is yours.
Whatever it is.
Yes!
In your face!
I win!
You lose!
Really?
After all our hard work?
You're not gonna be
the Czar?
It felt wrong.
Besides, I started all this
to make friends and I did.
One in particular.
Oh, Kirby.
You didn't need to shoot
money out of a cannon
to be my friend.
No?
No, silly hiring The Famous
Brothers was plenty.
I wonder what the Green Czar
actually does anyway.
Composting?
The Green Czar's job
is composting?!
Daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that's it?
You turned on
all the appliances
and that destroyed
the monster?
Yep.
And that did it?
Yeah.
It just doesn't seem
like enough.
Why would we lie to you,
Mr. Stockley?
Yeah?
Why are you suggesting
something happened?
Why would we
withhold information?
We would never do that.
Un-huh.
Okay, I got it.
I mean, it's not like
we kissed or anything.
