Past Perfect Prediction: Act 2
Clip: Season 4 Episode 4 | 6m 24sVideo has Closed Captions
Hacker needs one last piece to activate his powerful new machine. Is it in Slider's garage
Hacker gives Slider one week to come up with five thousand snelfus - or Slider will be evicted from his garage! The kids convince Slider to reopen the garage for business to raise the snelfus, but quickly discover that ordering the right amount of cryoxide to service the customers' vehicles is tricky business. Too little, they won't have enough. Too much, it goes to waste.

I'M READY TO ORDER TOMORROW'S CRYOXIDE ANY TIME YOU'RE READY!
SLIDER: WE CAN'T ORDER ANYTHING 'TIL WE FIND OUT WHY WE LOST MONEY TODAY!
WE ORDERED TOO MUCH CRYOXIDE, THAT'S WHY.
LOOK AT ALL THESE LEFTOVER CANS!
WE MADE A BAD PREDICTION.
AND IF WE ORDER TOO MUCH, WE'LL WASTE IT AND LOSE MONEY AGAIN!
IF WE DON'T ORDER ENOUGH, WE'LL RUN OUT OF IT.
MAKE ROOM...
I GOTTA PACE!
DIGIT: ME, TOO!
I DON'T GET IT.
EVEN THOUGH MY DAD DIDN'T KNOW HOW MANY JOBS HE'D HAVE EACH DAY - HE NEVER HAD MORE THAN A FEW CANS LEFT OVER.
MAYBE WE SHOULD CHARGE MORE FOR A CRYOXIDE CHANGE?
NO, THAT'S NOT THE ANSWER.
DIGIT: THE ANSWER IS TO MAKE A BETTER PREDICTION!
BUT HOW?
WAIT A SECOND, DIGIT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!
I AM?
OF COURSE I AM!
JACKIE: OKAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WE KNOW MY FATHER ORDERED 66 CANS ON SATURDAY JULY 31.
MATT: AND WE KNOW WE USED 30 CANS TODAY.
DIGIT: YEAH, BUT IS TOMORROW GOING TO BE LIKE THAT SATURDAY?
OR LIKE TODAY, MONDAY?
WHAT WE NEED IS MORE INFORMATION!
...YOIKES!
HEY!
MORE RECEIPTS FROM DIFFERENT DAYS!
DELETE: THE BOSS IS GOING TO LOVE THIS, BUZZY.
HACKER: NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW FROM ASSEMBLING THE MACHINE OF THE MILLENNIUM...
THE INSTRUMENT OF- BUZZ: HEY, BOSS!
WANT A DONUT?
I GOT BUZZARIAN CREAM, I GOT- I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT I'M DOING SOMETHING INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT?!
CAN THE BUNNY WATCH?
HE COULD BE YOUR PET.
CONQUERORS DON'T HAVE PET BUNNIES!
NOW TAKE YOUR WARES ELSEWHERE!
BUZZ: MY DONUTS!
DELETE: MY BUNNIES!
MY INCOMPARABLE INVENTION!
HEY, BOSS!
WHAT?!
UMM...THERE'S A HARE ON YOUR HEAD.
OF COURSE THERE'S HAIR ON MY HEAD!
NOT HAIR HAIR, BOSS... A BUNNY HARE!
MY WIG!
COME BACK WITH MY WIG!
JACKIE: FRIDAY, JULY 30, 32 CANS!
AND SATURDAY, JULY 31... 66 CANS!
MATT: TOUCHDOWN, JAX!
THAT GIVES US THE CRYOXIDE ORDERS FOR THE LAST SIX DAYS COOP RAN THE GARAGE IN JULY.
INEZ: AND THERE'S A TUESDAY... JUST LIKE TOMORROW!
SLIDER: ONLY EIGHT CANS?
HOW COME THAT'S SO MUCH LESS THAN ALL THE OTHER DAYS THAT WEEK?
HANG ON, EARTHLIES, I THINK I SEE THE PROBLEM.
WE GOT AN EL FOLDO HERE.
IT'S REALLY 28 CANS!
GOOD CATCH, DIDGE!
DIGIT: HEY, THEY DON'T CALL ME SUPER CYBOID FOR NOTHIN', YOU KNOW!
MATT: HEY!
I SEE A PATTERN!
LOOK!
THE WEEKDAYS ARE ALL AROUND 30.
THE ONLY DAY WITH MORE IS SATURDAY.
AND IT'S WAY MORE...66!
MAKES SENSE.
WEEKENDS ARE ALWAYS BUSIER.
RADSTERS MUST LOVE GOING AWAY ON WEEKEND TRIPS, HUH?
SLIDER: YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
LOTS OF 'EM GIVE THEIR CARS A CRYOXIDE CHANGE BEFORE HITTING THE ROAD.
THAT EXPLAINS WHY WE ONLY USED 30 CANS OUT OF THE 66 WE ORDERED FOR TODAY.
YUP.
WE BASED TODAY'S ORDER ON A SATURDAY NUMBER!
AND TODAY'S MONDAY!
EXACTLY!
THIS OLD MONDAY RECEIPT IS FOR 28 CANS - PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT WE USED TODAY.
THAT'S IT, THEN!
WE CAN USE THIS PATTERN TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH CRYOXIDE TO ORDER FOR TOMORROW!
LET'S GO WITH 30.
(THUMP) MATT: DIDGE, YOU OKAY?
I THINK I'M JUST HAVING ONE OF THOSE DAYS, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
SLIDER: SORRY, DIDGE.
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO MOVE THESE FOR A LONG TIME.
HMM?
WHAT'S THIS?
WHAT IS IT, SLIDER?
SLIDER: A DIARY!
MY DAD'S DIARY!
I...I NEVER KNEW HE KEPT ONE.
OPEN IT!
MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE ABOUT WHERE HE IS.
DON'T BE AFRAID, SLIDER... WE'RE HERE FOR YOU.
I'M NOT SCARED!
YOU'RE RIGHT...
I NEED TO FIND OUT.
(READING) I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HACKER TO DESIGN AN AMAZING NEW DEVICE THAT COULD ALTER OUR VERY BEINGS.
BUT TO MY SHOCK AND DISMAY, HACKER INSISTED ON USING THE DEVICE TO TAKE OVER CYBERSPACE FROM MOTHERBOARD!
I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TEAR UP THE BLUEPRINT AND SEND ITS PIECES TO PARTS UNKNOWN.
HACKER VOWED TO FIND IT, AND EXACT HIS REVENGE ON ME.
BUT EVEN IF HE DOES FIND IT, I'VE KEPT THE NETWORK INTERFACE CARD THAT ACTIVATES THE MACHINE.
IT CAN'T WORK WITHOUT IT.
I'VE HIDDEN THE CARD IN THE GARAGE WHERE HACKER WILL NEVER FIND IT.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, SON, KNOW THAT I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.
THAT'S ALL HE WROTE...
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
INEZ: WE'LL FIND HIM, SLIDER.
I JUST KNOW IT.
YEAH!
AND HE FOILED HACKER'S EVIL SCHEME!
THAT'S MY KINDA GUY!
GOSH, A DEVICE THAT CAN ALTER OUR VERY BEINGS...
SOUNDS OMINOUS.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT OMINOUS MEANS, BUT SOMETHIN' THAT CHANGES WHO YOU ARE DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A GOOD THING.
AT LEAST COOP HID AN IMPORTANT PART OF IT RIGHT HERE SOMEWHERE!
TIME OUT!
I BET THAT'S WHY HACKER WANTS TO TAKE OVER THIS GARAGE!
HACKER: I SAID I DON'T WANT ANY MORE DISTRACTIONS!
DELETE: C'MON, BOSS, CAN'T YOU AT LEAST GIVE US A HINT WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING?
BUZZ: OR TELL US WHAT IT DOES?
HACKER: OUT!
(SCREAM) BUT, BOSS.
WHAT IF SLIDER COMES UP WITH THE MONEY?
DELETE: YEAH, WHAT THEN?
HACKER: THAT SLIPPERY SKATEBOARDER WILL NEVER MAKE ENOUGH IN A WEEK TO PAY ME!
I, ON THE OTHER HAND, WILL SOON HAVE WHAT I NEED TO RULE CYBERSPACE FOREVER!
(LAUGHS)
