transcript

Speaker 1:
[01:01] Please answer me, Holiday. Why do we look the same? Adelaide, does your dad know you're here? I came here on my own.

Speaker 2:
[01:09] Who are you?

Speaker 1:
[01:11] I'm just me. Please don't lie like everyone else here. Angel, Papa, they're all afraid I'm gonna find out what's really going on. What do you think is going on? I think it has to do with my health. You know, about how sick I was? I don't think I'm the person you should that- Sick enough to die. But I didn't. Thanks to some really good people. Dr. Anders, her husband James, her son Cyrus. They saved your life. They must be very special people.

Speaker 2:
[01:46] They are.

Speaker 1:
[01:48] But you already know that, don't you?

Speaker 2:
[01:51] Why do you say that?

Speaker 1:
[01:53] When I first met Dr. Anders, she started to cry. She told me I looked just like her daughter. That's you, isn't it? Yes. Thank you for being honest. I saw your parents disappear into a portal. They were from the future.

Speaker 2:
[02:13] And you are too? I... well...

Speaker 1:
[02:17] Can I tell you a secret? With me?

Speaker 2:
[02:24] No, I mean, here, at all.

Speaker 1:
[02:29] I don't think I'm supposed to be alive.

Speaker 3:
[02:53] They're kissing. Cyrus.

Speaker 4:
[03:02] Hold up, Cyrus, this is a mistake. Why are we kissing anyway?

Speaker 5:
[03:08] For the very reason your teeth are chattering, you were frozen. I was trying to warm you up.

Speaker 4:
[03:14] With a kiss? What am I freezing, beauty?

Speaker 5:
[03:17] Actually, if we're being honest, you kissed me first, and this is the thanks I get for saving your life again.

Speaker 4:
[03:24] Look, can we just?

Speaker 5:
[03:24] Just what?

Speaker 2:
[03:27] Birdie!

Speaker 5:
[03:28] You guys okay?

Speaker 6:
[03:29] What did we miss?

Speaker 5:
[03:30] A lot. Cydly just kissed.

Speaker 6:
[03:33] What's Cydly?

Speaker 5:
[03:34] That's enough, Cybot.

Speaker 4:
[03:34] Turn him off, Cyrus!

Speaker 5:
[03:36] It's in Portmanteau. Their ship name.

Speaker 7:
[03:38] Ship name?

Speaker 5:
[03:39] Cyrus plus Brinley equals Cydly.

Speaker 6:
[03:42] And you said they were kissing?

Speaker 5:
[03:45] Never happened.

Speaker 2:
[03:47] Oh, yes.

Speaker 5:
[03:48] It was quite romantic. Badgie.

Speaker 6:
[03:52] Badgie?

Speaker 5:
[03:53] Badger and Birdie. For the record, I've always shipped you two.

Speaker 7:
[03:58] What does that mean?

Speaker 5:
[03:59] Oh, that term doesn't exist now. Means brooding for you. Romantically. Can we get back to the matter at hand? Please, I'm looking for this kid. His name is Penn. I think he could be the answer to fixing whatever is off kilter with the world.

Speaker 6:
[04:15] Is that why you and Brinley came tonight? To find Penn?

Speaker 5:
[04:19] For the record, I have actually found myself shipping Penn and Casie as well.

Speaker 4:
[04:24] Can we stop with the nautical talk already? Cyrus is right. We have to find Penn. And since Badger here has superhuman speed, we should probably try to use that to our advantage.

Speaker 6:
[04:34] Plus, he lives in a remote cabin, which would be a good place to hide your friend.

Speaker 5:
[04:38] Looks like I've been recruited.

Speaker 6:
[04:40] You won't have to do it alone. Team Birdie and the Badge at your service.

Speaker 1:
[04:53] You shouldn't talk that way, Adelaide, you deserve to be here, to live a normal, happy life. My best friend is a giant robot. I'm not sure I know what normal is. I do get that. How did you get to 1989?

Speaker 2:
[05:10] Why are you here?

Speaker 1:
[05:12] I'm honestly not sure, but I'm hoping that your father can help me get back to my family. What does my dad even want from you?

Speaker 2:
[05:21] Hey, ladies. Wow. Freaky. Hi.

Speaker 1:
[05:25] Holiday, this is Angel. I mean, Angelica now.

Speaker 2:
[05:30] Whoa.

Speaker 1:
[05:32] Adelaide, you're late for coding lessons. I don't answer to you. Well, if you'd rather I get your father. Fine.

Speaker 2:
[05:40] I'll go.

Speaker 1:
[05:41] Ivan, make sure Adelaide gets to class.

Speaker 3:
[05:43] Yes, Ms. Graves.

Speaker 1:
[05:46] Maybe I'll see you again? I hope so, Adelaide.

Speaker 5:
[06:08] Bye.

Speaker 1:
[06:22] It's just me, Holliday. We're on the same side. Good to know.

Speaker 8:
[06:38] Put me down, Jude.

Speaker 9:
[06:39] So you can roll up another hill and fall on me again?

Speaker 8:
[06:42] I should have made the pile high enough to crush your skull.

Speaker 9:
[06:45] Delightful thought. What did you say to the Anders on that video call?

Speaker 8:
[06:50] Nothing. I didn't have time, thanks to you and the rock you used to knock me off the screen.

Speaker 9:
[06:54] Well, now that you've made contact, might as well use it to our advantage.

Speaker 8:
[06:59] There is no hour.

Speaker 10:
[07:01] There could be.

Speaker 9:
[07:02] Hmm, what if I were to say... offer you the opportunity to earn back your robotic body piece by piece?

Speaker 8:
[07:12] That's just messed up.

Speaker 9:
[07:13] But you do want to be whole again, do you not?

Speaker 10:
[07:16] No.

Speaker 8:
[07:17] I love rolling around like a volleyball, snorting up dirt and bugs.

Speaker 9:
[07:39] Once you ask the Anders to send a boat.

Speaker 10:
[07:55] Okay, this does not look great, Monica. Whittier Corp vans everywhere.

Speaker 7:
[08:00] What are they doing at a high school dance?

Speaker 10:
[08:03] Nothing good.

Speaker 5:
[08:04] Brinley, this way.

Speaker 10:
[08:06] Mom!

Speaker 5:
[08:07] Dad!

Speaker 10:
[08:07] Cyrus! Brinley!

Speaker 5:
[08:11] What are you guys doing here?

Speaker 10:
[08:12] I got an alert that there was major Whittier Corp activity going on at the school.

Speaker 4:
[08:16] You could say that.

Speaker 8:
[08:18] Are you two okay? Where's Birdie?

Speaker 5:
[08:20] She's fine. Everybody's fine.

Speaker 10:
[08:24] What happened?

Speaker 4:
[08:25] One of my curls frozen cracked off. Never mind.

Speaker 7:
[08:29] Frozen? Does that mean-

Speaker 4:
[08:31] Yep. Everyone's least favorite walking air conditioner showed his frosty face.

Speaker 5:
[08:35] Also, I met your boss tonight, mom, Angelica Graves.

Speaker 7:
[08:40] The monarch was here?

Speaker 3:
[08:42] Uh-huh.

Speaker 5:
[08:43] I made a deal with her. I said I'd help her track down Penn if she gave me access to Whittier Corp.

Speaker 10:
[08:49] You what? I don't love this, Cyrus.

Speaker 5:
[08:51] I was just trying to stall her.

Speaker 3:
[08:53] It was weird, though.

Speaker 5:
[08:55] Angelica talked to me like I was an old friend.

Speaker 4:
[09:00] Do you guys see that?

Speaker 5:
[09:01] What?

Speaker 4:
[09:02] Creepy old woman over there. In the woods, she's staring at us.

Speaker 5:
[09:06] I don't see anything.

Speaker 4:
[09:08] She's right over...

Speaker 7:
[09:35] Hey, now that you've listened to this week's episode, head on over to the GZM Rewind Feed to hear me and the creators talk with special guests, including cast members and superfans.

Speaker 2:
