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.

HMMM... TOE RAIL NEEDS A TWEAK.
GET OUT OF MY GARAGE, HACKER!
YOU MEAN, MY GARAGE.
YEAH, HIS GARAGE!
IT BELONGS TO THE BOSS...
ALMOST.
(CHUCKLES) WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
BEFORE YOUR FATHER PULLED HIS LITTLE DISAPPEARING ACT, HE AND I WERE... SHALL I SAY, BUSINESS PARTNERS.
YOU AND MY FATHER PARTNERS?
NO WAY!
OH, IT'S TRUE!
BACK WHEN THEY BOTH WORKED FOR MOTHERBOARD.
THEY WERE REAL PALSY-WALSY!
YEAH, LIKE TWO BUGS IN A RUG!
THIS BUG WAS THE BOSS!
OF COURSE, THE BUG...
I MEAN THE BOSS, WAS A GOOD GUY BACK THEN.
FORTUNATELY, IT WAS JUST A PHASE.
YOU SEE, YOUR FATHER AND I OWNED THIS RAMSHACKLE SHACK YOU CALL A GARAGE.
ONLY HE NEVER PAID HIS HALF...
I PAID FOR IT ALL!
WE HAD A CONTRACT!
READ IT AND WEEP!
THIS IS MY DAD'S SIGNATURE!
IT SAYS HERE HE OWES YOU- 5000 SNELFUS!
BUT I DON'T HAVE FIVE THOU- SPARE ME THE SOB STORY, KID!
YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO PAY UP, OR I'M TAKING OVER YOUR PRECIOUS GARAGE!
(LAUGHING) SLIDER: OH, MAN!
HOW AM I GONNA GET 5000 SNELFUS IN ONE WEEK?
ANY IDEAS, POPS?
THANKS, DUDE.
TOTALLY COOL.
YEAH.
IT'S MY MAIN BOARD.
THIS PLAN BETTER WORK.
SLIDER, WHAT'S UP?!
JACKIE: MOTHER B SAID THERE'S A PROBLEM.
DIGIT: WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL YOUR BOARDS?
SLIDER: HAD TO SELL 'EM.
MATT: WHY?
THEY WERE SO COOL.
LONG STORY.
SHORT EXPLANATION.
JACKIE: 5000 SNELFUS?
SLIDER: IT'S THAT OR HACKER GETS THE GARAGE.
I SAW THE CONTRACT.
MY DAD'S SIGNATURE IS THE REAL DEAL.
BUT 5000 SNELFUS... HOW WE GONNA COME UP WITH THAT?
SLIDER: WELL...I JUST MADE 800 SNELFUS SELLING MY BOARDS AND BIKE.
AND I ALREADY HAD 200 SAVED.
INEZ: THAT'S ONLY A 1000 TOTAL!
YOU STILL NEED 4000 MORE.
DIGIT: I GOTTA PACE.
HEY!
I DO THE PACING!
DIGIT: 4000 SNELFUS!
I CAN'T EVEN COUNT TO 4000!
YOIKES!
I'VE BEEN LEVITATED!
INEZ: WHAT KIND OF WORK DID YOUR FATHER DO HERE?
SLIDER: CRYOXIDE CHANGES, MOSTLY.
JACKIE: WELL IF HE MADE MONEY DOING THAT... MAYBE YOU CAN TOO!
WE'LL HELP.
DIGIT: JAX!
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!
WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT DOING A CRYOXIDE CHANGE?
SLIDER: NO SWEAT.
I'LL TEACH YOU.
MATT: IN THAT CASE...WE'RE IN!
DIGIT: LET OPERATION CRYOXIDE CHANGE BEGIN!
WHERE'S THE CRYOXIDE, TEACH?
GONE.
I NEVER REORDERED IT.
HERE'S AN EMPTY.
HOW MANY CANS DO WE NEED?
SLIDER: WELL, I KNOW IT TAKES TWO CANS TO DO ONE CRYOXIDE CHANGE.
COOL!
LET'S ORDER TEN!
TEN?
THAT'S ONLY ENOUGH FOR FIVE JOBS.
MY DAD HAD A LOT MORE THAN FIVE CUSTOMERS A DAY.
INEZ: ALL RIGHT.
200 CANS, THEN.
WHOA, THAT'S ENOUGH FOR A 100 CUSTOMERS.
WE CAN'T WORK ON THAT MANY CARS IN ONE DAY.
JACKIE: OKAY, OKAY.
LET'S THINK THIS THROUGH.
TEN IS TOO FEW... 200 IS TOO MANY.
WAIT!
LET'S PICK A NUMBER IN THE MIDDLE!
INEZ: BUT WHAT IF WE'RE WRONG?
NO NEED TO GUESS.
HERE'S A RECEIPT FOR THE LAST BATCH OF CRYOXIDE MY DAD BOUGHT.
SATURDAY, JULY 31, 66 CANS.
MATT: IT'S A SLAM DUNK!
WE ORDER 66 CANS!
INEZ: HOLD ON, MATT.
JUST BECAUSE HE USED 66 CANS THEN, DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GOING TO NEED THAT MANY NOW.
RIGHT.
THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING FOR SURE HOW MANY CUSTOMERS WE'LL HAVE TOMORROW.
MAYBE NOT, BUT IT'S ALL WE HAVE TO GO ON.
I SAY WE GO WITH IT.
HELLO?
MISTER CRYOXIDE?
WE NEED 66 CANS AND WE NEED 'EM FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING!
BUZZ: WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT COOP'S GARAGE, BOSS?
DELETE: YEAH.
WHY DO YOU WANT IT SO BAD?
IT'S NOT THE GARAGE I WANT - IT'S WHAT'S INSIDE IT THAT I WANT!
ONCE I GET IT, I COULD CARE LESS WHAT BECOMES OF THAT SILLY SHACK!
DELETE: REALLY, BOSS?
THEN GIVE IT TO US.
OH YEAH!
WE ALWAYS WANTED TO RUN OUR OWN BUSINESS!
PICTURE THAT OLD, SMELLY GARAGE TURNED INTO... "BUZZ'S DONUTS"!
IT'LL MAKE TONS OF DOUGH!
GET IT?
DOUGH?
(LAUGHS) MY IDEA'S EVEN BETTER!
FUNNY BUNNIES, PETS YOU CAN PET.
CUTE, HUH, BOSS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S CUTE.
STAYING OUT OF MY WAY... THAT'S WHAT!
THIS DIABOLICAL DEVICE I'VE BEEN WORKING ON WILL ALLOW ME TO BE THE SUPREME POWER OF ALL CYBERSPACE!
CRYOXIDE TRUCK DRIVER: HERE'S THE CRYOXIDE YOU ORDERED... 66 CANS.
THAT'LL BE 990 SNELFUS.
990 IT IS.
THIS IS ALL I HAVE LEFT.
INEZ: DON'T WORRY, SLIDER, WE'LL EARN MORE.
BESIDES, IF WE HAVE ANY CANS LEFTOVER, WE'LL USE THEM TOMORROW.
CAN'T DO THAT.
EXCUSE ME?
CRYOXIDE GOES BAD AFTER ONE DAY.
BUT YOU KNEW THAT, RIGHT?
MATT: NOW WE DO.
WE'LL CALL YOU LATER TO PLACE OUR ORDER FOR TOMORROW.
DIGIT: GET YOUR CRYOXIDE CHANGE HERE!
FAST WORK...
FRIENDLY SERVICE... ONLY 65 SNELFUS!
JACKIE: EW, EW AND DOUBLE EW!
I FEEL LIKE A REAL GREASE MONKEY.
TELL ME ABOUT IT!
UNFORTUNATELY, IT WASN'T ALL THAT BUSY TODAY.
MATT: NO KIDDING!
WE ORDERED 66 CANS OF CRYOXIDE... AND WE HAVE 36 LEFT!
AND THEY'RE ALL WASTED 'CAUSE THEY'LL GO BAD BY TOMORROW.
SO WHERE DO WE STAND MONEY-WISE?
DIGIT: WE MADE 975 SNELFUS TODAY.
GOOD, HUH?
INEZ: YEAH, BUT WE SPENT 990 TO BUY THE CRYOXIDE!
WOW!
THAT'S 15 SNELFUS MORE THAN WE MADE!
YOU MEAN, WITH ALL THOSE JOBS WE DID TODAY... WE LOST MONEY?
WE'RE IN BIG TROUBLE.
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) JACKIE: OKAY, GUYS.
WE CAN'T LET HACKER TAKE OVER THIS GARAGE.
WE'VE GOT SIX DAYS LEFT TO MAKE THE 5000 SNELFUS FOR HACKER BUT THERE'S MORE AT STAKE THAN JUST SAVING THESE FOUR WALLS...
EXCUSE ME.
JACKIE: YES, I'M TALKING ABOUT PROTECTING CYBERSPACE!
I'M TALKING ABOUT CARRYING ON FOR SLIDER'S FATHER!
EXCUSE ME!
JACKIE: BUT FEAR NOT, CYBER-BUDDIES.
BY FINDING THOSE OLD RECEIPTS FOR CRYOXIDE WE'VE DISCOVERED THE PATTERN FROM THE PAST THAT WILL HELP US PREDICT THE FUTURE!
(CHEERS) EXCUSE ME!!!
ALL: WHAT???
THE CRYOXIDE STORE CLOSES IN 15 MINUTES AND IF WE DON'T ORDER OUR SUPPLY NOW WE WON'T HAVE ANY CRYOXIDE FOR TOMORROW!!!
OH, FINE!
ORDER 30.
THAT'S THE PATTERN WE SAW FOR THE WEEK.
INEZ: WAIT!
WE'RE BASING TOMORROW'S PREDICTION ON NUMBERS FROM JUST SIX DAYS!
IS THAT REALLY A BIG ENOUGH PATTERN?
NEZZIE'S RIGHT.
IF WE HAD MORE RECEIPTS, WE COULD MAKE A BETTER PREDICTION.
OH GEE, BUT I MADE SUCH A GOOD SPEECH.
SLIDER: MY DAD WASN'T THE MOST ORGANIZED GUY IN THE WORLD, BUT THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE RECEIPTS LYING AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
START LOOKIN'!
I FOUND 'EM!
THE REST OF THE CRYOXIDE RECEIPTS FOR JULY!
JACKIE: LET'S SORT 'EM OUT!
INEZ: SATURDAY, JULY 10TH, 58 CANS.
THURSDAY, JULY 15TH, 32 CANS.
TUESDAY, JULY 6TH, 26 CANS.
MATT: THAT'S IT!
THAT'S THE WHOLE MONTH!
JACKIE: AND CHECK THIS OUT!
THE OTHER WEEKS SHOW THE SAME PATTERN AS THE WEEK WE ALREADY HAD.
THEY'RE ALL AROUND 30.
INEZ: AND THE PATTERN WORKS UP AND DOWN, TOO!
THE TUESDAY BLOCK SHOWS US THEY'RE ALL AROUND THIRTY.
MATT: THE PATTERN FOR WEEKENDS SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS WE THOUGHT, TOO.
THEY'RE ALL AROUND 60!
EXCEPT FOR THIS FIRST WEEKEND.
THE NUMBERS ARE... WHOA, AROUND 100!
JACKIE: OUR WEEKEND PROJECTIONS WEREN'T THAT HIGH.
WHERE'D WE GO WRONG?
SLIDER: OF COURSE!
THAT'S THE FIRST WEEKEND IN JULY!
DAD ORDERED MORE CRYOXIDE THAT WEEKEND BECAUSE IT WAS A HOLIDAY!
THE RADOPOLIS GRAND PRIX!
TWO DAYS OF NON-STOP CUSTOMERS BRINGING IN THEIR CARS TO GET READY FOR IT!
INEZ: SO THAT WEEKEND WAS AN EXCEPTION - DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER WEEKENDS!
JACKIE: OKAY!
IF WE IGNORE THE HOLIDAY, WE'VE GOT A COMPLETE PATTERN WE CAN USE TO PREDICT THE FUTURE!
30 CANS ON WEEKDAYS - 60 CANS ON WEEKENDS!
CAN I PLEASE PLACE THE ORDER NOW?!
SLIDER: YOU BET.
BUT NOT JUST FOR TOMORROW - THE DELIVERIES FOR THE NEXT SIX DAYS!
DIGIT: MR. CRYOXIDE?
COOP'S GARAGE HERE.
WE'RE READY TO ORDER!
DELIVER 30 CANS TOMORROW.
THE SAME DELIVERY WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY - AND 60 ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY!
HOW DO WE KNOW?
IT'S ALL IN THE PATTERN FROM THE PAST, PAL, ALL IN THE PATTERN!
♪ ♪ PHEW!
(LAUGHS) AT LAST!
IT'S FINISHED!
DELETE: CAN WE SEE IT NOW, BOSS?
CAN WE?
HACKER: PATIENCE!
THERE'S ONE LAST THING I NEED TO MAKE IT WORK!
AND TOMORROW MORNING, WHEN IT'S TIME TO PAY THE HACKER...
I'M FINALLY GOING TO GET IT!
(LAUGHS) BUZZ: REMEMBER, BOSS, WE GET THE GARAGE!
DELETE: YEAH, YOU PROMISED!
DON'T FORGET!
HACKER: KNOCK, KNOCK.
THE HACKER'S HERE.
TIME TO PAY UP CHILDREN!
DIGIT: I RESENT THAT!
WELL, RESENT THIS!
THE WEEK IS UP.
MY MONEY OR THE GARAGE!
OW, LET ME GUESS.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY.
(LAUGHS) WHAT A SURPRISE!
BUT I'LL BE GENEROUS.
I'LL GIVE SLIDER A WHOLE 30 SECONDS TO VACATE THE PREMISES.
(BEGINS TO COUNT FAST) SLIDER: YOU CAN STOP COUNTING, HACKER!
WE MADE ENOUGH TO PAY YOU.
IMPOSSIBLE!
HOW DID YOU DO IT??
WE USED THE PAST TO PREDICT THE FUTURE AND EARNED 5055 SNELFUS!
BUT YOU ONLY GET 5000.
SLIDER GETS THE REST.
INEZ: SIGN HERE, HACKER.
PAYMENT IN FULL!
YOU THINK IT'S THAT SIMPLE TO DEFEAT THE HACKER?!
YOU THINK A MERE 5000 SNELFUS WILL DETER ME FROM GETTING MY WAY?!
NO SIGNATURE - NO SNELFUS!
HACKER: FINE!
YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, YOU PINT-SIZED PEST!
YOU'LL ALL PAY FOR THIS!
WE JUST DID.
HACKER: ...START THE WREAKER!
BUZZ: BUT WHAT ABOUT MY DONUT BUSINESS?
(SOBBING) AND MY PET SHOP?
HACKER: PATIENCE, MY SHALLOW-MINDED DUNCEMBUCKETS!
THE HACKER PLAN IS NOT FINISHED YET.
HAVE NO FEAR - I WILL COMPLETE MY TRANSFORMATRON.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) ALL: SO LONG, HACKER!
BYE-BYE!
SLIDER: THANKS, DUDES.
YOU GUYS REALLY CAME THROUGH FOR ME.
MATT: HEY, WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?
ONCE AGAIN, THE PATTERN OF THE PAST PREDICTS THE FUTURE!
WHOA!!!
INEZ: DIDGE, YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
SORRY ABOUT THIS, SLIDER.
NOT YOUR FAULT.
SLIDER: WHOA!
I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
IT'S THE NIC MY DAD WROTE ABOUT!
THE MISSING NETWORK INTERFACE CARD!
INEZ: WHAT'S THAT?
SLIDER: ...A MAP OF SOME KIND!
AND MY FATHER'S HANDWRITING!
IT LEADS TO A SPOT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF CYBERSPACE!
MATT: MAYBE THAT'S WHERE COOP WENT!
SLIDER: ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT!
C'MON!
MY DAD AND I BUILT THIS, BUT WE NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO TEST DRIVE IT.
DIGIT: I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER TIME!
GOT EVERYTHING?
I'VE GOT THE MAP.
I'VE GOT THE NIC.
SLIDER: COOL!
HANG ON, POPS, WE'RE ON OUR WAY!
STAY RIGHT WERE YOU ARE IT'S CYBERCHASE FOR REAL.
(SNEEZES) EXCUSE ME.
(SNEEZES) HEY, HOW ARE YOU DOING?
NOT SO GREAT.
(SNEEZES) WHAT'S WRONG?
MY MOTOR IS NOT WORKING SO WELL.
MY MOTOR NEEDS WORK TOO.
I HOPE WE GET BETTER SOON.
(SNEEZES) ARE YOU A KID OR A GROWN UP?
CAN'T YOU TELL?
WELL, YOU SEEM KIND OF BIG TO BE SEEING A PEDIATRICIAN.
(SNEEZES) HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SNEEZING?
ABOUT A WEEK.
I THINK I HAVE THE FLU.
HAVE YOU HAD ANY FEVERS?
HARRY: NO.
ANY HEADACHE?
NO.
I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ALLERGY.
(HARRY SNEEZES) REALLY?
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS AT HOME?
NO.
YOU MIGHT BE ALLERGIC TO POLLEN OR DUST OR MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE.
(HARRY SNEEZES) HOW CAN I FIND OUT?
FOR THE REST OF TODAY I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR SNEEZES - THE LOCATION AND THE NUMBER OF TIMES YOU SNEEZE IN A MINUTE.
OKAY.
DOCTOR: THE DATA WILL HELP US FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN AVOID ALLERGY ATTACKS.
DON'T FORGET TO COME BACK WITH THAT DATA.
(SNEEZES) (SNEEZES) BLESS YOU.
THANKS.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
(SNEEZES) HEY INGA.
HOW ARE YOU?
(SNEEZES) I-I WAS JUST IN THE- IN THE... (SNEEZES) NEIGHBOR- (SNEEZES) I GOT TO- (SNEEZES) (SNEEZES) (KEEPS SNEEZING) YOU LOOK LIKE YOU'RE DOING A LOT BETTER, HARRY.
I'M NOT SNEEZING ANYMORE.
I DON'T GET IT.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE DATA.
YOU DID MOST OF YOUR SNEEZING AT INGA'S HOUSE.
DOES SHE HAVE ANY PETS?
YEAH... DAISY-MAY.
A CAT.
I TOOK CARE OF HER LAST WEEK.
YOU PROBABLY ARE ALLERGIC TO CATS.
I PREDICT IF YOU VISIT THE VETS OFFICE DOWN THE BLOCK YOU'LL DO A LOT OF SNEEZING THERE.
CAN I HELP YOU?
(SNEEZES) YOUR PREDICTION CAME TRUE.
BUT IF I'M ALLERGIC TO CATS WHY DID I SNEEZE WHEN I WASN'T NEAR A CAT?
YOU WERE WEARING DIFFERENT CLOTHES EARLIER TODAY THEY MUST HAVE CAT FUR ON THEM.
HARRY: OF COURSE.
DAISY-MAY FELL ASLEEP ON THE JACKET I WAS WEARING.
SO I'M ALLERGIC TO CATS.
WHAT'S THE TREATMENT?
CLEAN YOUR JACKET, CLEAN YOUR APARTMENT, AND NO MORE CAT-SITTING.
THANKS DR. LARRY.
CAN I HAVE MY STICKER?
