THE BOSS WON'T BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS.
HACKER: QUICK!
OPEN THE DOOR!
UM...I DON'T THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA, BOSS.
OPEN IT!!
OH!
I TOLD YA.
(SMALL EXPLOSION) HACKER: MY BEAUTIFUL MEAN MOBILE!
IT'S JUST A LITTLE SCRATCH.
A LITTLE SCRATCH?!!
I WANT THIS CAR FIXED NOW!
IN THE MEANTIME, I'LL FIND A PLACE TO HIDE GLOWLA!
DON'T BLAME ME!
YOU WERE DRIVING!
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) THIS IS SAM VANDER ROM REPORTING FROM THE SCENE OF PANIC AND MAYHEM.
SPOUT HAS GONE ON A RAMPAGE!
HYSTERICAL WOMAN: MAD WHALE ON THE LOOSE!
WHY DID SPOUT TURN INTO A RAGING BEAST?
AND WHERE IS HIS PARTNER, GLOWLA?
HYSTERICAL MAN: RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
EGAD!
HERE COMES SPOUT NOW!
(ROARS) (SCREAMING) (CRASHING) (SCREAMING) (CRASHING) HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
WHAT COULD HAVE MADE SPOUT BECOME SO MEAN.
I DON'T KNOW BUT WE'D BETTER FIGURE IT OUT FAST!
SINCE GLOWLA'S THE ONE THAT BUILT THAT ROBOTIC WHALE, SHE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN MAKE SPOUT NORMAL AGAIN!
BUT HOW ARE WE EVER GOING TO FIND HER?
YOU GOT ME!
I HOPE MATT AND INEZ ARE HAVING BETTER LUCK THAN WE ARE.
INEZ: NO SIGN OF GLOWLA ANYWHERE!
LOOK!
HACKER: THE RIDE'S OVER, GLOWLA!
WHO ARE YOU?!
WHO AM I?
WHO AM I?
THE HACKER, OF COURSE!
THE MEANEST DUDE IN CYBERSPACE.
NOW, COME WITH ME.
NO WAY!
YUCK!
FINE!
HAVE IT YOUR WAY.
GLOWLA: WHAT'S HAPPENED TO MY WHALE?
COME ON!
WHERE ARE WE?
MATT: SOMEWHERE UNDER R-FAIR CITY, I THINK.
GLOWLA: (IN THE DISTANCE) HELP!
MATT: THIS WAY!
WHOAAAAA!
WHAT IS IT?
OH, HOW DO WE GET ACROSS?
MATT: EASY!
I'LL JUMP.
WAIT!
YOU CAN'T SEE HOW FAR ACROSS IT IS TO THE OTHER SIDE!
I DON'T HAVE TO.
CHECK THE SIGN.
THE GAP'S ONLY ONE METER WIDE.
I JUMPED THREE METERS AT THE TRACK MEET LAST WEEK.
INEZ: YEAH, BUT YOU COULD SEE WHERE YOU WERE LANDING.
WE CAN'T SEE THE OTHER SIDE, HERE.
INEZ, THE SIGN SAYS ONE METER.
I CAN JUMP THAT FAR IN MY SLEEP.
SO STAND BACK...
I'M GOING TO JUMP IT.
MATT, ASK YOURSELF: DOES THAT NUMBER, ONE METER, MAKE SENSE?
IF IT DOES, JUMP.
IF IT DOESN'T, YOU BETTER CHECK AGAIN.
CAUSE IF YOU DON'T, YOU COULD BE TOAST!
MATT: I'M NOT WASTING TIME TO CHECK WHAT I ALREADY KNOW.
I'M GOING FOR IT!
AHHHHHHHH!
MATT!
