Pudding cups. Sealed. Untouched by cafeteria-lady hands.
No skin. Do I hear one dollar?
I've got one dollar. Do I hear $1.25?
Gordo, why are you auctioning off your lunch?
I need to make money for a new stereo.
What about your old stereo?
It's gone to stereo heaven.
You. In the striped shirt.
$1.50 for the pudding cup? $1.50. Going once, twice...
Sold to the boy in the striped shirt.
Ugh. So why don't you get your parents to buy you a new one?
Uh, that would be the logical answer,
but my parents want me to earn the money on my own.
Ugh. I hate it when they say stuff like that.
So by, uh, brown-bagging my lunch and auctioning off my desserts,
I can make about three dollars a day.
So, I'll have a new stereo in five months.
Five months?
Well, if you figure three dollars a day,
five days a week, that's $15,
and there are four weeks in a month so that'd be $60.
So I'll have $300 in five months.
Wow, Gordo, where were you during the math test yesterday?
Oh, I was, uh... [BLOWS AIR] getting my usual A.
[SCOFFS] Way to be modest, Gordo.
Well, if you're so smart, Mr. A,
you should already know how to raise money for your new stereo.
What are you taking about?
Tutor math.
People would totally pay for your help.
You know what, that's actually not a bad idea.
Of course, it's not a bad idea. I came up with it.
Okay, I'll do it.
So, uh, Miranda.
How 'bout a bite of that cupcake?
[SCOFFS] Sure...
For a $1.50.
[CHUCKLES]
[THEME SONG PLAYING]
[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
Hey, Gordo.
How many people signed up for the tutoring?
Well, let's see.
Between that mad rush before school,
and the mob scene after first period,
zero.
Nobody signed up yet?
No one. I even made these fliers.
Let me see that.
How can anybody read this?
Cave paintings are easier to understand.
[CHUCKLING] Is this in English?
Who in their right mind would respond to something like this?
Uh, so, Gordon. Is this you?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, it is.
Uh, so you, like, tutor math and stuff, right?
Yeah, I do.
Oh, see, I kinda flagged the last test,
and my 'rents think I could use a little help.
[SNAPS FINGER]
[MOUTHS] Help.
Hello? Captain Obvious?
[CHUCKLING] Oh, Ethan. Gordo could tutor you.
Yeah, he's really smart.
And we could help.
If you needed it.
Well, that'd be cool.
What do you think, professor?
Well, I think you could use the help.
Excellent. Catch you later.
Oh.
I wish my stereo broke.
This tutoring thing rocks, Gordo.
We have a total in with Ethan.
Guys, relax.
I'm going to be tutoring a guy who got an eleven on the test.
That's not so bad.
Out of a hundred?
So he'll need lots of tutoring.
You'll have your stereo in no time.
With the amount of tutoring this guy's gonna need,
I think I'll be looking at the entire home-entertainment system,
with surround sound.
- [CHUCKLES] - [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
There's nothin' to do.
Nothin''.
Hey, Oscar, how you doing?
He's bored, Dad.
Bored.
There's nothing left to do.
We've done it all.
Uh, you could help out round the house.
You haven't done that.
That's crazy talk, Mom.
Or you could help out around the neighborhood.
Old Mrs. Lippin's lawn needs raking.
That's a great idea, Dad.
Helping people who can't help themselves.
Helping people.
Mom, we're gonna need a couple of costumes.
Excuse me?
Superheroes, Mom.
Me and Oscar are gonna be superheroes.
Superheroes.
Superheroes? I always wanted to be a superhero.
We're gonna patrol the neighborhood and fight crime.
Crime.
Hey, does fighting crime include leaf raking?
Are they evil leaves?
[CHUCKLES] No.
Let me know if that changes.
Let's go, Oscar.
[SMACKS LIPS]
How hot did Ethan look today.
Beyond hot.
You know, I really don't want to be a part of this conversation.
I-It's okay, Gordo. We'll stop.
No, I gotta go anyway. I've got plans.
Plans? We don't have plans. How do you have plans?
I have to go tutor Ethan at the Digital Bean.
[BOTH SCREAMING]
Yay.
I hate it when you guys do that.
Look, I gotta run. I'll talk to you guys tomorrow.
You know, we could always use some extra study time.
Um, Digital Bean?
See you there.
See you later, Mom.
We're off to fight the forces of evil.
Dressed like that? Wow, who are you?
Why, I'm Mattman.
And this is...
The Incredible Oscar.
Don't make him angry.
You wouldn't like him when he's angry.
[GROWLS]
If you need us, we'll be patrolling the neighborhood
or in our fortress of solitude.
Be back before dark.
Have a real good time fightin' crime, guys.
BOTH: Crime.
We'll be taking these.
Thief. Thief. Thief.
Stop.
Oh. You're right, Incredible.
Superheroes look both ways before crossing the street.
WOMAN: Thief. Thief.
Thief? Where?
[GRUNTING]
I am reporting you to the authorities.
No need to thank us, ma'am.
BOTH: We're superheroes.
Just doing our job.
[EXCLAIMS IN EXASPERATION]
[GIRL SCREAMING]
We're needed elsewhere, Incredible Oscar.
Let's roll.
Hey, what page are we on?
Um, anyone need a pencil?
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Okay, that didn't work. A-Any more ideas?
Yep.
Um, we didn't order these.
They're from the ladies.
[BOTH GIGGLING]
Mm. These are pretty good.
Miranda, we gotta figure out a way to get close to Ethan.
[SCOFFS] He's got like a Gordo force-field.
I know. I-I've got an idea. Come on.
Scooch, scooch.
Go.
Hi.
Okay, one last scooch. Go.
[GASPS]
Oops. [CHUCKLES]
Hi.
Hey.
Ethan, why don't we take a break?
We'll, uh, attack dividing fractions later.
But the ladies just got here.
Just go get a drink.
Okay, professor.
Look, the only reason you guys are here is because of Ethan.
If I was just here studying alone, you wouldn't be here.
It doesn't sound so good when he puts it that way.
Guess I'll be going now.
Relax, Gordo. No need to go nuclear.
I'm just here so I can earn some money for a new stereo.
That's it. So can you guys please just leave me alone?
We were just trying to help you, Gordo.
With what?
Um, tutoring.
[SCOFFS] You must be joking.
If I need to go shopping, then I'll ask for your help.
What?
Excuse me?
What are you trying to say?
You guys don't even get As.
We get B-pluses, Gordo.
Oh, but I guess we're not smart enough to hang out with you.
Good, 'cause I have work to do.
Ready, teach?
Ugh.
Looks like you need a tutor on how to deal with the ladies.
Who are you guys?
Remain calm. We're here to help.
This is job for the Incredible Oscar.
[GROWLS]
[GRUNTS]
[ROARING]
Hey, that's a brand new bike. I'm telling my dad.
No need to tell your dad.
Your kind words are thanks enough.
Ow.
When performing superhuman acts of strength,
always lift with your legs.
Gordo is such a know-it-all.
Yeah, I-I know, but I still kind of feel bad.
Why? He did kinda call us dumb.
Well, we did kind of use him to get to Ethan.
It still doesn't give him the right to be mean.
I guess you're right.
We're gonna have to talk to him eventually, though.
Fine. So go talk to him.
[SIGHS]
Hit me again with what I'm supposed to do.
How many times do we have to go over this?
When you're dividing fractions, you have to invert the numerator
and the denominator of the second fraction,
and then you multiply it.
That means you flip it over.
Oh.
-[SIGHS] -Okay.
Hey.
Looks like you guys could use some extra help.
Truce.
We don't need any help.
I-I need help.
[CHUCKLES]
Dividing fractions is always really hard.
It's easier for me if I imagine the numbers are something real,
like hair scrunchies.
Who's got hair scrunchies?
Ethan needs hair scrunchies.
Okay.
We have four hair scrunchies.
Oh, that's what you call those things.
Lizzie, we're studying math,
-not beauty supplies. -[SCOFFS]
But I come in peace.
Okay, what's one-half of the hair scrunchies?
Two scrunchies.
Okay, so that's one over two.
Now, what's a quarter of the scrunchies?
One scrunchy?
Good. So that's one over four.
Now how many times does one scrunchy go into two scrunchies?
Two.
Excellent. So, let's look at the problem.
Okay, we have one-half divided by one-fourth.
Now flip the second fraction and multiply. What do you get?
Come on. You can get this.
I know there are brains under that perfect hair.
-Two. That's totally easy. -[CHUCKLES]
That's what I've been saying for the past half-hour.
Yeah, but it makes more sense when she lays it down.
Props, Lizzie.
Say, why don't you tutor me?
[LAUGHS]
[SIGHS]
I can't believe you said no to Ethan Craft.
I could never do that to Gordo, Miranda.
He takes his tutoring really seriously.
But he's being a total jerk, and he called us stupid.
Listen, Miranda, I'm angry about that, too,
but I don't want to not be friends with Gordo
just because he said something that he probably didn't mean.
But for a friend, he's been saying some pretty mean stuff. [SCOFFS]
So, what are you gonna do?
I'm gonna apologize to him for barging in on his tutoring.
What? He should apologize to you.
I know, but friendship is a lot more important than who apologizes to who.
Hi.
Hey, Gordo.
Um, I wanted to talk to you about something.
Yeah, I wanted to talk to you, too.
I think you guys owe me an apology.
-What? -What?
I think you owe us an apology.
For what?
You guys are the ones who were using me to get to Ethan Craft.
If you want to hang out with him, go ahead.
Just don't use me to do it.
Ugh.
When did my friends become
more complicated than my math homework?
Whoa.
I don't want to get any more phone calls complaining about you two.
So if you're going fight crime, you have to keep it to our house.
And maybe you two could use your superpowers
to find the TV remote.
I believe it's being held captive by the evil couch monster.
[LAUGHS]
[CLEARS THROAT]
You laugh now, but evil lurks where you least expect it.
Evil never sleeps.
[CHUCKLES]
[SIGHS]
You know, there may be crime right in this very house.
Really?
Yeah.
All we need to do is create an evil villain,
defeat him, and save the family.
That's genius.
They don't call me Mattman for nothin''.
Let's roll.
Mrs. Wardman, your regular teacher, wants you to take this quiz today.
[ALL GROANING]
Me? I don't believe in quizzes.
Or tests. Or examinations.
-[ALL CHEERING] -Yeah.
In fact, I don't even believe in grades.
[ALL CHEERING]
Learning is a road trip.
It's not the destination.
It's the journey.
[ALL CHEERING]
Unfortunately, I'm not your regular teacher,
so take a quiz and pass it down.
[ALL GROAN]
So, you say you aced the quiz?
Yeah, I think I got an A.
A. A. A. A. Yeah.
Oh, well, maybe next time, you can tutor me.
Tutoring's hard work, you know.
Not everyone can do it.
So uh, how'd you do?
I failed.
Let me see this.
That's impossible. I-I tutored you.
Teaching's a tough gig, Mr. Gordon.
I know I make it look easy,
but not everyone's cut out to be an educator.
Listen, I know you've had your nose to the grindstone
-over this fraction stuff... -My nose?
I-I was trying to use my brain.
It's a good thing you're a handsome boy.
Tell you what, since you've been working hard,
I'll give you another shot, tomorrow.
Fine, we'll go over it.
Again.
I was kinda hoping that Lizzie would help out this time.
I love the way Ethan says my name.
Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie. Lizzie.
You still want her help?
You know what? Fine.
Go ahead. Use a second-rate teacher. I don't care.
It just made more sense when you laid it down.
So what do you say?
Please.
[CHUCKLES]
How hard is it to say yes to the cute guy?
Sure, Ethan. I'll tutor you.
[CHUCKLES] Cool.
This is gonna be great.
Great.
Mom, have you seen my black platforms?
They're not in my room, and I cannot find them anywhere.
Did you look in the hall closet?
Not there.
So wear something else.
I'd love to, Dad, but all my other shoes are missing.
Lizzie, is this a trick so I will take you shoe shopping?
There's no trick.
It's the work of the evil shoe baron.
-Evil? -Shoe?
Baron?
Mom, I have to meet Ethan at the Digital Bean
in 20 minutes, and this little super-zero
has stolen all my shoes.
Have not.
Maybe you didn't hear me.
Ethan. Digital Bean. 20 minutes.
Okay, Lizzie.
Matt, you go tell the evil shoe baron
that if he doesn't return
your sister's shoes in the next 10 minutes,
he's going to be spending all of his free time
in the fortress of solitude.
Good work, Mom.
I've battled the evil shoe baron before.
[SIGHS]
A note.
"I have given up a life crime,
"thanks to Mattman and the Incredible Oscar.
"If not for their acts of bravery, I would have taken over the world,
"one shoe at a time."
It's signed "The Evil Shoe Baron."
Well, good work, guys.
Tell any future supervillains that if they touch my stuff,
they're history.
I'm out of here.
[PAPER RUSTLES]
Okay, I'm gonna ignore the fact that
the evil shoe baron's handwriting looks exactly like Matt's,
on the condition that your superhero days are over,
inside the house and out, okay?
But there's still a lot of evil lurking out there.
Lurking.
And you misspelled "bravery."
I did?
[GROANS]
Okay, let's try dividing fractions one more time.
We have seven jellybeans.
No. Ethan, don't eat the problem.
This isn't what I thought alone time
with Ethan would be like.
[SCOFFS] But look at that smile.
Sorry.
I don't get it with these jellybeans.
Okay, what would you get it with?
Uh, cheerleaders?
Okay.
Everybody, Ethan needs cheerleaders.
Wow. Ooh.
I'm glad he didn't need elephants.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
Okay, one-half divided by one-half.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
Excellent.
Okay, when dividing fractions,
you take the second fraction and flip it upside down.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
And then you multiply.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
So that's one times two over two times one, which is what?
Two over two.
[BLOWS WHISTLE]
Which reduces to...
Rhonda.
No.
Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie, Lizzie.
That's right. One.
Lizzie, I really like this math.
[CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTING]
Stay down.
No. Ow.
Why am I so nervous?
It's not like I'm the one being graded here.
It's okay. He'll pass.
He had a great tutor.
-[CHUCKLES] -Yeah, he did.
You can't be talking to us. It's against the brainiac code.
Look, guys, I-I'm sorry. I was wrong.
Ooh, can I hear that again?
I'm sorry?
No, no, no. The second part.
I was wrong.
I didn't mean to make anyone feel stupid.
If anyone should feel stupid, it should be me.
I acted like a total jerk.
Well, I'm sorry for taking your only student.
And for making you feel that we used you to get to Ethan.
Well, I guess none of us got an A in friendship.
[SIGHS]
-I aced it. -Oh.
A 72?
How can I have a mad crush on a guy
who thinks he aced a test with a 72?
-You rock, teach. -[CHUCKLES]
Oh, yeah, that's why.
[CHUCKLING]
So, how are you going to get money for your new stereo?
I'm not. I'm gonna spend all my free time at Lizzie's house,
listening to her stereo.
Oh.
Sponging off my stereo won't cost him a dime.
Maybe he is the smart one.
Don't worry, Gordo, you can come over anytime.
[CHUCKLES]
[IMITATES TRUMPET]
Well, I really don't want to be a part of this conversation.
-[CLATTERING] -FEMALE CREW MEMBER: It's okay.
-I gotta go anyway. I've got plans. Yeah. -[CRASHES]
MALE CREW MEMBER: And, action.
-Is this a... -Wait, wait. Where are my hands?
I think we should start over. [CHUCKLING]
-[LAUGHING] -MALE CREW MEMBER: Cut.
A. A. A. A.
[GRUNTING]
[YELLS]
Cut.
-Oh. Ow. -[ALL LAUGHING]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
