Hey!
What's that?
(Nick groaning) It's locked tight.
Look, there's a button on the gate.
Do you think that'll open it?
Hmm, let's see.
(Bell ringing, horn honking) Well, that was a lot of noise for nothing.
Maybe not nothing.
Maybe it's telling us something.
What could it be?
Now, that is a good question.
Hmm.
(Gasping) Look, there's another button!
There's one here, too!
I wonder what'll happen if we push them?
You'll never know unless you give 'em a try.
(Buzzing) (Dinging) Hey, they made the same sounds as the button on the gate!
But there were a bunch of sounds.
Push that button again, Cat, and we'll listen.
Buttons will now be pushed!
(Ding, buzz, buzz, ding) (Pattern repeating) Okay, maybe we have to make the same sounds.
In the same order!
Do you remember it?
I think so.
It starts with... ding!
(Dinging) Right, then two buzzes.
(Buzzing) And another ding.
(Dinging) Huh, nothing happened.
Hmm, I think we have to do it over and over.
That's the pattern.
Okay, so it's ding, buzz, buzz, ding.
Again!
Ding, buzz, buzz, ding.
And a third time!
(Ding, buzz, buzz, ding) (Ding, buzz, buzz, ding) (Cheering) Oh, I knew it!
The trick was to match the pattern that the sounds made.
You two pushed all the right buttons in the right order!
