MERLIN!
MERLIN!
OPEN UP!
M-M-M-MERLIN'S OVER AT FROGSNORTS.
NOT THAT BARRY BLOTTER KID AGAIN?
OLD STUMBLESNORE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH HIM.
ANYWAY, I'M MELVIN, HIS BROTHER.
WANT A DANISH?
FORGET YOUR DANISH, MEL - I NEED YOUR HELP!
THE WICKED WITCH CAST A SPELL OF THE MEAN GREEN ON MOTHERBOARD!
SHE'S TURNING EVERY CYBERSITE BAD!
I NEED SOMETHING TO SNAP HER OUT OF IT... NOW!
WHAT YOU NEED, MY LITTLE TIN BIRD, IS AN ANTIDOTE.
OKAY.
WHERE DO I FIND HER?
NO NO NO.
AN ANTIDOTE IS NOT A PERSON.
IT'S A MIXTURE OF INGREDIENTS USED TO B-B-BREAK A SPELL.
LET'S SEE.
GOT IT!
THE ANTIDOTE FOR THE MEAN GREEN!
W-W-W-WHOOOOOOPS!
NOOO!
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE, DO YOU?
SORRY.
WAIT!
THE RECIPE FOR MAKING THE ANTIDOTE IS ON THE LABEL!
TWO-FIFTHS OF THE ELECTRO-ROOT... TWO-EIGHTHS OF THE HEALING STONE... AND ONE-THIRD OF A BOX OF HACKER'S WIG GEL!
BINGO!
I CAN MAKE THE ANTIDOTE MYSELF!
OH, WHO AM I KIDDING?
I NEED KIDS.
MEL, BABY, I NEED A CYBER-PORTAL QUICK!
NOT TO WORRY.
THIS IS LAST CENTURY'S MODEL.
IT'S A LITTLE WORN, BUT-- HEH-HEH.
UH, LET ME HANDLE THIS ONE!
COME ON, PORTAL OPEN!
I NEED KIDS!
NOT BILLY GOAT KIDS!
KID KIDS!
<Kids> UGH.
OH.
OOF.
<Matt> WHAT'S UP, DIDGE?!
WHO'S YOUR PAL IN THE MOO MOO?
UH, AHEM.
MELVIN, THE MAGNIFICENT, BROTHER OF MERLIN, THE TEMPORARILY MISSING!
BUT NEVER MIND THAT... WICKED PUT A SPELL ON MOTHERBOARD...
THE SPELL OF THE MEAN GREEN!
IT'S MAKING MOTHERBOARD TURN CYBERSITES NASTY, LIKE HACKER!
BUT I HAVE THE RECIPE FOR THE ANTIDOTE RIGHT HERE!
<Inez> HMMM, THE INGREDIENTS ARE IN FRACTIONS.
WE HAVE TO COLLECT THOSE INGREDIENTS BEFORE MOTHERBOARD TURNS ALL OF CYBERSPACE MEAN AND GREEN!
AT LAST CHECK SHE HAD ONLY 723 SITES TO GO!
<Inez> JACKIE AND I WILL GET THE ELECTRO-ROOT!
THE DIDGE AND I WILL GET THE STONE!
<Jackie> AND WE'LL MEET UP AT THE GRIM WREAKER FOR THE WIG GEL.
UH - DON'T FORGET TO DROP BY FOR THE SORCERER'S BALL NEXT YEAR!
TOODLE-DOO.
<Jackie> UH - SURE.
<Matt> RIGHT.
<Hacker> YEEESSSS!
YOU DID IT, WICKED!
YOU DID IT!
THE SPELL OF THE MEAN GREEN IS WORKING TO PERFECTION!
MOTHERBOARD IS DOING ALL MY DASTARDLY DEEDS FOR ME.
HA HA HA!
OOOOH, I LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE PLEASED, HACKIE.
SCREEN CHECK!
<Pig> WOULD YOU BE SO KIND, DEAR BROTHER, AS TO PASS ME SOME MORE MORTAR?
BY ALL MEANS, DEAR BROTHER.
HA HA HA.
<Wicked> HA-HA-HA!
THERE GOES HAPPILY EVER-AFTER!
ONLY 694 MORE SITES TO TURN BAD!
ONCE THIS NUMBER DROPS TO ZERO... CYBERSPACE WILL BE MINE!
AND FOR HELPING ME OUT LIKE THIS - I HAVE A PRESENT FOR YOU.
A BROOM?
I MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO TAKE OVER CYBERSPACE - AND YOU GIVE ME A BROOM?!
NOT JUST ANY BROOM, MY WONDERFUL WICKED.
THE BIMBUS 4000!
NOW YOU CAN FLY IN STYLE!
YOU WANT TO SEE STYLE, BIG BOY?
WATCH THIS?!
<Hacker> YEOW!
BUZZ!
DELETE!
GET ME MY WIG GEL!
BRUSH!
MIRROR!
HELLO, HANDSOME!
YOU KNOW, BOSS, I THINK WICKED WAS UPSET.
YEAH.
SHE WAS DISAPPOINTED ALL SHE GOT WAS A BROOM.
HOW COULD ANYONE BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE HACKER?
I'M UN-DISAPPOINTABLE!
I KNOW.
I'LL MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT MYSELF.
YES, THAT'S IT - I'LL SHOW HER JUST HOW MARVELOUS I REALLY AM!
<Inez> THE LAST TIME WE SAW THE ELECTRO-ROOT, IT WAS SITTING ON A GORILLA'S HEAD.
OMIGOSH!
THIS IS SO PERFECT - THE ELECTRO-ROOT!
<Inez> IF THIS IS SO PERFECT - YOU GET IT!
SHH.
WHOA-AA-AA!
GOT IT!
HOW MUCH OF THIS ROOT DO WE NEED?
<Inez> TWO FIFTHS OF THE WHOLE THING.
SO WE ONLY NEED PART OF IT...
BUT JUST HOW MUCH IS TWO FIFTHS?
I MEAN, I CAN SEE IF WE BROKE IT RIGHT HERE - WE'D GET TWO EQUAL HALVES.
BUT HOW DO YOU GET TWO FIFTHS?
WELL, I SUPPOSE WE COULD BREAK THE WHOLE ROOT INTO 5 EQUAL PIECES.
<Jackie> THEN ONE PIECE WOULD BE ONE FIFTH... <Inez> ...AND TWO PIECES OF THE WHOLE ROOT IS JUST WHAT WE NEED!
TWO FIFTHS!
CHECK IT OUT!
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE!
THE ROOT ACTUALLY GROWS IN FIVE EQUAL PARTS!
HERE'S ONE-FIFTH... TWO FIFTHS!
(angry ape sounds) I GUESS NAP TIME IS OVER.
<Jackie> LET ME EXPLAIN, MISTER APE, OKAY?
YOU SEE, WE JUST NEED TWO FIFTHS OF THE ROOT TO HELP FIX MOTHERBOARD - AND YOU CAN KEEP THE REST.
AND, ACTUALLY, YOU GET MORE THAN WE DO, 'CAUSE THREE FIFTHS IS MORE THAN TWO FIFTHS, SEE?
COOL!
THEY'RE FRIENDLY!
<Inez> OH, NO!
MOTHERBOARD JUST TURNED THIS SITE MEAN AND GREEN!
<Jackie> QUICK!
WE NEED A PLAN!
<Inez> I HAVE ONE.
RUN!
<Girls> YIKES!
UH OH!
LOOK!
DIGIT, HELP!
WE NEED A PORTAL!
HELP!
