JUST DON'T MOVE.
<Delete> HE-HE.
GOOD ONE, BUZZY.
YOU SOUNDED JUST LIKE THE BOSS.
FOLLOW ME, YOU DESPICABLE DUNCEBUCKET!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT ACTUALLY WORKED!
I CAN.
NOW, LET'S GO FIND THAT WIG GEL AND SAVE MOTHER B!
<All> UH.
AHHHHHHHH!
<Jackie> SHHHHHH!
LOOK!
WE'VE GOT TWO-FIFTHS OF THE ELECTRO-ROOT!
AND WE'VE GOT TWO-EIGHTHS OF THE HEALING STONE!
<Digit> AND IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, TWO-EIGHTHS IS THE SAME AS ONE-FOURTH.
IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT NAME FOR THE SAME AMOUNT.
<Jackie> ALL WE NEED NOW TO MAKE THE ANTIDOTE IS ONE-THIRD OF A BOX OF HACKER'S WIG GEL!
AS FOR MY AWARDS, THIS IS MY ROOKIE BORG OF THE YEAR AWARD.
IMPRESSIVE?
I'LL SAY.
AND THIS IS MY BORG SPELLING BEE CHAMPION TROPHY, AND THIS IS-- <Buzz> YOUR FAVORITE JAMMIES ARE ALL CLEAN, BOSS - YEAH, BUT I COULDN'T GET THE JUICE STAIN OUT.
<Hacker> CUT!
<Matt> I FOUND THE WIG GEL!
HURRY, BEFORE THEY FIND US!
GOT IT!
ONE WHOLE BOX OF WIG GEL!
<Digit> ACCORDING TO THE LABEL, WE NEED ONE-THIRD OF A BOX TO MAKE THE ANTI-DOTE.
ALLOW ME.
WUH-OH!
NOW WHAT?!
<Hacker> HAHAHAHA - ONLY SIX MORE SITES UNTIL ALL OF CYBERSPACE IS MEAN AND GREEN AND THE HACKER RULES!
HA-HA-HA!
AND WHEN WICKED JOINS ME FOR DINNER, I'LL SHOW HER MY NEW VIDEO AND... <Buzz> MAYBE YOU SHOULD INVITE THOSE NOSEY KIDS.
KIDS?
WHAT KIDS?
THOSE EARTH KIDS.
YEAH, WE SAW 'EM A LITTLE WHILE AGO NEAR THE KITCHEN.
<Hacker> THOSE MEDDLESOME KIDS ARE HERE?
INSIDE THE GRIM WREAKER?
AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!
IT'S HIS FAULT!
NO, YOU.
YOURS!
NOT MINE!
<Hacker> LISTEN TO ME, YOU METALLIC MEATHEADS, I-- WAIT!
OBSTACLES ARE ALSO OPPORTUNITIES.
CATCHING THOSE OVERGROWN INFANTS- WILL BE THE PERFECT ENDING TO MY VIDEO!
<Digit> HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET ONE THIRD OF A BOX NOW?
IT'S ALL IN PIECES!
<Inez> LET ME THINK, LET ME THINK.
<Digit> TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE THAT BOX ANYMORE.
IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER.
<Matt> DIGIT!
YOU'RE A GENIUS!
I AM?
I MEAN, I KNEW THAT.
<Matt> WE MAY NOT HAVE THE BOX, BUT WE DO KNOW HOW MANY PIECES MAKE UP A WHOLE BOX!
WE DO?
I MEAN, WE DO!
<Inez> YEAH, ALL OF THESE CUBES MAKE UP A WHOLE BOX.
AND THERE'S 12 OF THEM!
COOL!
12 PIECES MAKES A WHOLE BOX.
NOW ALL WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT WHAT ONE THIRD OF ALL TWELVE IS.
SINCE WE NEED ONE THIRD OF A BOX, LET'S DIVIDE THE WHOLE GROUP INTO 3 EQUAL PILES.
TWO FOR YOU, TWO FOR YOU, TWO FOR ME.
TWO FOR YOU, TWO FOR YOU, TWO FOR ME.
AND HERE IT IS!
ONE THIRD OF A BOX!
IT'S 4 PIECES EACH!
TOUCHDOWN!
GOOD, GUYS!
<Digit> WAIT A MINUTE!
IF I HAVE 4 PIECES AND THERE WERE 12 TO START WITH - ISN'T THAT THE FRACTION FOUR TWELFTHS?
WAY TO GO DIDGE!
ARE YOU TELLING ME THE FRACTION FOUR TWELFTHS IS THE SAME AMOUNT AS ONE THIRD?
YEP, IT'S TRUE - WE JUST PROVED IT!
WHEN YOU TAKE FOUR CUBES OUT OF TWELVE, YOU'VE GOT THE FRACTION FOUR TWELFTHS.
<Matt> AND SINCE THREE BUNCHES OF FOUR MAKE TWELVE, ONE BUNCH OF FOUR IS ONE THIRD.
IT'S JUST TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO SHOW THE SAME AMOUNT.
<Digit> FOUR TWELFTHS EQUALS ONE THIRD... WHO KNEW?
<Jackie> HEH.
YOU DID DIDGE!
AND NOW WE'VE GOT ALL THE INGREDIENTS AND THE RIGHT FRACTIONS TO MAKE THE ANTIDOTE AND BREAK THE SPELL!
LET'S GO!
<Hacker> NOT SO FAST!
ROLL TAPE!
DO YOU HAVE ANY FINAL WORDS BEFORE I TOSS YOU IN MY DUNGEON AND THROW AWAY THE KEY?!
YEAH!
WE'RE OUTTA HERE!
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE - THE HACKER!
AAAHHHH!
<Digit> WHOOPS!
WRONG PORTAL.
<Matt> TRY IT AGAIN, DIDGE!
<Hacker> LET THEM GO!
WHEN THE LAST THREE CYBERSITES GO BAD IT WILL BE ALL OVER - AND CYBERSPACE WILL BE MINE!
<Buzz> UH - BOSS?
THERE'S A FISH ON YOUR HEAD.
THERE'S A WHAT - WHERE?
<Buzz> UH, NEVER MIND.
<Jackie> HOLD ON, MOTHER B, HOLD ON...
THE ANTIDOTE IS COMING!
OH, NO!
ONLY TWO MORE SITES TO GO TILL ALL OF CYBERSPACE IS MEAN AND GREEN!
<Digit> C'MON, C'MON, MAKE THE ANTIDOTE!
<Inez> TWO FIFTHS OF THE WHOLE ELECTRO-ROOT!
<Matt> TWO EIGHTHS OF THE WHOLE HEALING STONE!
<Jackie> ONE THIRD OF A BOX OF HACKER'S WIG GEL!
IS THAT EVERYTHING, DIDGE?
<Digit> WH-OH.
THERE'S ANOTHER PART OF THIS LABEL.
WH-OH IS RIGHT.
IT SAYS: THIS RECIPE IS FOR MILD SPELLS.
FOR FULL STRENGTH, DOUBLE THE INGREDIENTS!
AND MOTHERBOARD DEFINITELY NEEDS A FULL BLAST!
THERE'S ONLY ONE GOOD SITE LEFT!
<Jackie> I JUST REMEMBERED!
I HAVE THE REST OF THE ELECTRO-ROOT!
AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN LEFTOVERS.
I GOT THE REST OF THE HEALING STONE AND THE WIG GEL.
<Inez> OKAY, LET'S DOUBLE THE RECIPE.
WE NEED TWICE AS MUCH AS WE HAD BEFORE.
ADD ANOTHER TWO-FIFTHS OF THE ELECTRO-ROOT, GIVING US FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE WHOLE ROOT.
ANOTHER TWO-EIGHTHS OF THE HEALING STONE, MAKING FOUR-EIGHTHS OR ONE-HALF OF THE WHOLE STONE!
<Jackie> AND HERE'S ANOTHER ONE THIRD OF THE BOX OF WIG GEL - SO NOW WE HAVE TWO THIRDS OF A WHOLE BOX!
CAN YOU SPEED IT UP A LITTLE?!
<Inez> I THINK IT'S READY!
<Digit> DOWN THE HATCH, MOTHERBOARD!
YOU'RE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT!
AND JUST IN TIME.
THANKS CYBERMATES.
<Hacker> I'M PLEASED YOU AGREED TO SPEND THIS MONUMENTAL MOMENT WITH ME, MY DEAR WICKED.
<Buzz> UH, BOSS...
I THINK YOU BETTER CHECK THIS OUT.
<Hacker> DON'T BOTHER ME.
CAN'T YOU SEE I'M BUSY?!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW YOU THE LITTLE SURPRISE I HAVE FOR YOU.
<Delete> BOSS, BOSS!
THE SITES ARE TURNING GOOD AGAIN!
WHAT?
<Buzz> WE'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO TELL YOU - YOU'RE NOT THE NEW RULER OF CYBERSPACE.
THE SPELL OF THE MEAN GREEN IS BROKEN!
THE KIDS BROKE THE SPELL?!
BUT THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!
YOU GAVE ME A LOUSY SPELL!
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, BIG BOY?
YOU GAVE ME A LOUSY BROOM!
AND NOW YOU BLAME ME FOR THIS?
WELL, I'VE GOT A SURPRISE FOR YOU!
PUPPIES AND CLOWNS, TRICK OR TREAT, FROM NOW ON, YOU'LL BE NICE AND SWEET!
SO, LONG, SWEETIE!
I'LL HELP YOU, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, I'LL HELP YOU, I ALWAYS DO.
<Buzz> ROLL TAPE!
<Hacker> I'LL HELP YOU, YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, I'LL HELP YOU, I ALWAYS DO!
GIVE ME A HUG, BUZZY!
