[BEGINNING SCENE, IN THE GYM, 4, 5, & 6 ARE NEXT TO BIG VERSIONS OF THE BUDDY BLOCKS.]
4: Wow, the Buddy Blocks are really big today.
6: Look great, don't they? Great for jumping up!
4: Great…
5: I've got to try this.
4: You go ahead.
(5 starts to hop up the Buddy Block steps)
5: 1… 2… 3… 4… (she does a twirl on her last jump) and 5!
6: Great stuff!
5: And… [hops back down) 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… and, (does a flip on her last jump) 0.
6: Brilliant. Okay if I go next?
4: Go ahead.
(6 hops down from the jumping platform to the buddy blocks.)
6: Right. Watch this.
4: (gulps) I'm watching.
6: (Counts as he jumps) 1… 2… 3…
5: Looking good, 6.
6: (Spins on his 4th jump) 4…
4: Ooh…
6: 5… 6! Yeah!
5: That was good!
6: And this is going to be fast, and backwards. [flips backwards down the buddy blocks quickly] 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!
4: I don't have to do that, do I?
5: No. Just do a simple jump up so you end up on your own buddy blocks.
4: Okay.
6: Take it steady.
4: Don't worry. I will. (He starts to count as he jumps) 1… 2… 3… (starts to wobble) Oh!
5: Steady!
4: Feels a bit high up here.
6: You've only got one more and you'll be on your own number!
4: Alright… (jumps) 4!
5: Yeah!
4: (Turns around) I did it! I'm on number 4!
[THE ALARM SOUNDS]
6: The alarm! Come on!
4: Aaah! Don't leave me!
6: We've got to go!
5: Just jump back, Four. You can do it.
4: I can't!
5: Someone out there needs our help.
[She & 6 hop off.]
4: Oh… alright then… (he starts to hop down quickly) 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! I did it!
[The Numberjacks hop off to the control room. 5 uses the Cosy Room's lift, and 4 jumps onto the springboard in the gym. 5 & 6 meet 3, Thomas, and Big Hero 6 in the control room. on the diamond screen, A 16 appears]
Agent 16: Agent 16 here.
3: [as 4 hops up] Come on!
4: I got stuck on top of my Buddy Blocks.
5: We're all here now.
3: Agent 16 called in.
Agent 16: Things are going wrong!
3: But not for long!
Agent 16: This boy's got a problem.
4: Hold on. I'm putting it on screen.
[A screen drops down showing a boy putting a model zebra onto his toy car. Suddenly, the zebra moves off the car.]
Agent 16: The things keep moving. They're not staying on, they're coming off.
4: Weird.
[The boy puts a blue building block on a tower, but suddenly, it moves off, like with the zebra]
6: Certainly strange.
Agent 16: He's getting a bit worried.
6: OK. We'll send someone right away.
Agent 16: Great. Thanks.
6: Right, who wants to go? [to 4] 4, are you ready for a mission?
4: Er...Yes, I am. Why not?
Hiro Hamada: Anyone else wanna go with 4?
Wasabi: [raises his arm] I'll volunteer.
Hiro Hamada: OK! Let's go!
[Launcher Song]
Kids: Hey, hey!
We got a problem, what shall we do?
Who's going out there? Who do we choose?
We've got a problem to explore
Who's going out there?
Male Voice: Number 4!
[The launcher's loader claw gets 4's disc, brings it up, and 6 jumps into the shape on the disc that he matches. The disc with 6 on it is moved in front of the launcher mechanism, which clamps onto it, and the loader claw releases it's grip. Ahead, is a tunnel of glowing blue rings. In the control room, 3 & 5 are watching on the screen]
3: Good luck to you, 4.
4: Thank you very much.
[The Numberjacks scan the living room outside the sofa they live in. The living room is empty, apart from Jasper the cat on the sofa]
3: Checking the room is clear.
5: Only Jasper on the sofa; he won't mind. All clear.
6: Stand by 4.
5: Off you go!
[The hole opens up in the arm of the sofa, and the spring starts to retract]
Numberjacks & Heroes: 4, 3, 2, 1, 0!
[5 presses the button, and 4 is fired out in a cloud of blue number 4s. At the same time, Wasabi jumps through the portal. Back in the control room, 5 hops onto the scanners.)
5: Scanning for a landing. Need a 4...
[5 scans numbers in the outside world, and finds a 4 on a pole]
5: Found a 4!
[4 materializes on the 4 on the pole, and jumps down. Wasabi emerges from the portal, next to 4]
Wasabi: I'm here! [glances round] Wow. Everything looks so big.
6: You alright, 4?
4: Yes, I think so. Yes.
Hiro Hamada: You OK, Wasabi?
Wasabi: Certainly.
5: Ok, you two, good luck!
4: We'll keep our eyes open for weird goings on!
[4 hops off, and Wasabi heads after him]
6: What's going on with these things?
[Agent 33 calls in]
Agent 33: Agent 33 here. The animal was on the truck, and the next moment, it was off the truck.
[Agent 55 calls in]
Agent 55: The block was on the pile, then it was off.
Hiro Hamada: 4, Wasabi, we've got a clue.
Wasabi: What is it?
6: Well, it looks like things that have been put on something are coming off.
4: Right.
5: Keep your eyes open for any more problems like that.
[A skateboarder skates through the park]
4: I think we can see one right now. He's on the skateboard...[The skateboarder falls off his board onto the grass] He's off!
3: He should've been wearing a helmet!
4: He didn't just fall off. Something MADE him come off.
[The skateboarder gets onto his skateboard, but then jumps off again.]
GoGo Tomago: Weird.
[Agent 85 calls in]
Agent 85: More problems!
6: Tell us.
Agent 85: The man can't stay on his unicycle.
5: On screen.
[A view of the beach, where the beach performer is riding his unicycle along the promenade]
3: It's hard to stay on, anyway.
Agent 85: But something's making it much harder.
[The man wobbles.]
3: He's coming off! No, he's not. [the man falls to the ground] Yes, he is!
Agent 85: He can't stay on.
(The man gets up to try and get back on… but it's a huge struggle.)
3: He can't even get back on!
6: These problems are getting worse!
[CUT TO PARK]
Wasabi: Guys, I think we've got another problem to report.
(Back to the man who had trouble with the skateboard. he is getting his lunch out of his lunchbox.)
Honey Lemon: He looks alright.
4: I don't think so...
(The lunchbox goes onto the bench.)
4: The lunchbox won't stay on his lap.
(The man gets an orange before the lunchbox goes onto the bench again.)
6: It's on the bench now.
(The man picks up his lunchbox again and puts it on his lap.)
3: On his lap.
6: "Bench."
(As 3 & 6 say the next lines, the lunchbox is put where they say.)
3: Lap.
6: Bench.
3: Lap!
6: (Trying not to laugh) "Bench!"
(The man becomes fed up.)
6: We've got to find out what's making everything go wrong!
Hiro Hamada: Any ideas to who is causing all this trouble?
5: I think I can guess - mixing things up, so instead of on, things are off.
4: And listen!
[a laughing fills the air around 4 & Wasabi]
3: I know that laugh!
4: So do I! Look!
[Spooky Spoon appears]
Wasabi: [gasps] A living spoon!
4: Yes! It's Spooky Spoon!
Spooky Spoon: Yes! [laughs evilly]
Baymax: Oh no.
6: Quick! Get the data on Spooky Spoon!
5: Coming up!
[Spooky Spoon Song]
Uh-oh!
1, 2, 3
She's mean, she's bossy,
She's very cruel
She thinks she's great
She thinks she's cool
She's only plastic but she thinks she's fantastic
Who does she think she is?
Spooky Spoooooon!
6: We've got to sort her out, 4!
[cut back to park]
Spooky Spoon: [laughs] It's little Numberjack 4! And if it isn't that bladed neat-freak Wasabi, as well! How are you, you horrible things?
4: We're not horrible, but you are.
Wasabi: Yeah. You're the horrible one, Spooky Spoon.
Spooky Spoon: Ooh! Cheeky! You don't want to be rude to me, you know. Not to Spooky Spoon, the coolest, loveliest, bestest thing ever.
4: Now look-
Spooky Spoon: No, YOU look! I am doing what I like doing; M-M-Mixing things up! Things that should be on are now off, and it's all thanks to me, Spooky Spoon! [laughs and floats away]
5: Oh, no! If we don't stop Spooky Spoon mixing things up, anything could happen!
[A 2D cartoon animation of a girl on her bed]
5: [Voiceover] You might be lying on your bed.
[The girl is put on the floor]
5: [Voiceover] And next minute, you're off it and on the floor.
[A birthday cake with candles and decorations]
5: [Voiceover] The candles and decorations are all on your cake.
[The candles and decorations move off the cake]
5: [Voiceover] And next minute, they're off it.
[A cuckoo clock on a mantelpiece]
5: [Voiceover] Or a clock could be on the mantelpiece, and then it's off the mantelpiece.
[The cuckoo clock disappears from the mantelpiece, and then reappears beside it, completely broken]
5: [Voiceover] Oh, disaster!
[Fade back to reality]
5: We've got to stop that Spooky Spoon.
[view of the man on his unicycle at the beach]
4: Yes, look what she's doing now!
Spooky Spoon: A man on a unicycle; not very interesting.
[She spins around, and makes the man lie on the ground with the unicycle sticking up wheel first in the air]
Spooky Spoon: Unicycle on a man; much more fun! [laughs]
[CUT BACK TO THE PARK]
Spooky Spoon: Oh, man on bench; very, very dull.
[She makes the man sit UNDER the bench instead.]
Spooky Spoon: Bench on man. Much better!
4: But the man doesn't like it!
Spooky Spoon: Ohhh! So? I don't like you! And I don't like Wasabi, either!
Wasabi: Charming(!)
Spooky Spoon: But I'll tell you what I do like.
4: What?
Spooky Spoon: Me. Me! Meeeeeeeee!
4: Look, we've got to help these people.
6: OK, what do we do?
[AGENTS 33 & 16 call in]
Agent 33: Well, things aren't in the right place.
Agent 16: They're off when they should be on.
Agent 33: Send Brain Gain to put things back to where they belong.
3: OK. Getting the Brain Gain Machine going.
[The Brain Gain machine starts up and the Brain Gain song plays]
Singer: Brain Gain, Brain Gain~
To sort the problem, use our brains
The way to get your brains all linking up together
Joined-up thinking~
[the Brain gain gets it's purple lightning sparks]
Voice: Getting brain power now. Brain Gain!
[3 Hops into the Brain Gain machine]
6: We're sending Brain Gain to put things back to where they belong, guys!
3: [jumps in the Brain Gain Machine] Brain Gain coming up! On, on, on!
Agent 16: On, on, on!
[4 & Wasabi are zapped with Brain Gain]
4: Putting things back on! Back on the bench.
[4 & Wasabi zap the man back onto the bench, and his skateboard, and the lunchbox onto his lap all at once.]
4: Everything back on!
[The boy's toys and the man on the unicycle are all put back in their right places.]
5: Brilliant!
6: Yeah, well done, 4!
Hiro Hamada: Good job, Wasabi!
[Cut to a bus stop]
Spooky Spoon: [sarcastically] Oooh, yes! Well done, 4, and good job, Wasabi. [angrily] You've spoilt my fun, you have!
4: Good!
Wasabi: We had to, Spooky. Your idea of fun isn't fun for anyone else!
Spooky Spoon: So, I need a bit more fun - with YOU! And Wasabi, too!
4: [angrily] Now look here!
Spooky Spoon: No! You both look there! [motions to the bus stop pole] Looks like a good place for you two to be on!
[4 & Wasabi are sent right up to the top of the bus stop pole]
4: Aaaagh!
Wasabi: [looks down] AAAAAGH! So high!
Hiro Hamada: Wasabi, calm down!
5: Don't panic, 4!
Spooky Spoon: Oh yes, 4, and Wasabi. DO panic! [laughs and floats away]
6: You can balance, you know you can.
4: Yes, we can balance. But, how do we get down?
Wasabi: I want to get down!
Fred: Any ideas? [sees the bus shelter on the screen] What about the bus shelter?
6: Look, there's a shelter not too far away.
5: Jump onto the shelter and then down onto the bin, and onto the ground.
4: Oh, very easy(!)
5: We're going to get you both off the pole, and onto the shelter. Ready?
Hiro Hamada: We'll be sending some Brain Gain to help, ok?
4: Oh... yes.
Wasabi: [gulps] Ok...
3: Off the pole, onto the shelter!
[4 & Wasabi are zapped with Brain Gain, and leap from the bus stop pole to the bus shelter.]
4: Yes, we're on the shelter.
5: Now off the shelter, and onto the bin!
[4 & Wasabi leap from the shelter to the bin]
4: Yay! On the bin!
Hiro Hamada: And now, off the bin, and onto the ground!
[4 & Wasabi jump off the bin, and onto the ground]
4: Yes! Good to be on the ground again.
Wasabi: [sighs in relief] Thank goodness!
[Spooky Spoon appears]
4: And good to deal with that Spooky Spoon.
Wasabi: Give us all the on and off Brain Gain you can, 3!
3: You got it! [jumps around in the Brain Gain Machine] Loads of on/off Brain Gain!
Agent 16: On, off, on, off, on, off!
[4 & Wasabi are zapped with Brain Gain]
Wasabi: On the bin!
[4 & Wasabi zap Spooky Spoon with Brain Gain, sending her onto the bin]
Spooky Spoon: Oooh!
4: Off the bin, onto the shelter!
[Spooky Spoon is moved onto the shelter's roof]
Wasabi: Off the shelter...
4: Onto the pole!
[Spooky Spoon is moved to the top of the bus stop pole]
Spooky Spoon: Oh no!
Wasabi: And off the pole...
4: And off you go! On your way, Spooky Spoon!
[4 & Wasabi zap Spooky Spoon a final time, sending her off the pole and flying away, screaming. The Numberjacks and heroes cheer]
5: Done it! Come back now 4, and Wasabi.
Wasabi: Ready when you are!
[4 dematerializes, and Wasabi jumps through the portal. 3 scans outside the sofa]
3: All clear for landing!
[4 flies through the hole in the arm of the sofa]
Numberjacks & Heroes: One, two, three, four!
[4 & Wasabi enter the control room]
3: Great work, 4, and Wasabi!
4: Thanks!
6: You two sorted out that old Spooky Spoon!
Wasabi: Yeah. Serves her right for making me and 4 go up on that high pole!
5: We've got it all on screen.
[RECAP]
6: [voiceover] The boy's toys weren't staying on things.
5: [voiceover] And the skateboarder wasn't staying on his skateboard.
3: [voiceover] Or the man on his unicycle.
4: [voiceover] That man had a hard time with his lunchbox.
3: [voiceover] All that Spooky Spoon's fault - mixing things up.
4: [voiceover] We sorted things out.
6: [voiceover] But the Spooky Spoon sorted 4 and Wasabi out.
Wasabi: [voiceover] That was scary, mind you.
3: [voiceover] No problem. 4 and Wasabi got off that pole.
Wasabi: [voiceover] Yes, we did!
5: [voiceover] And Spooky Spoon got on it, and on her way.
3: [voiceover] Hurray!
[Recap ends, cut to gym, where 4 & 6 are looking at the big Buddy Blocks.]
6: Think you can do it again, 4?
4: I think so. I might even try jumping onto 5.
6: Great! Be careful. [to the viewers] What can you find that is on something else? Have a look, check things out, and call the Numberjacks!
