Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero (2014) s01e15 Episode Script
3 Big Problems
Wherever good is threatened, heroes rise to the challenge and always save the day! Except when they don't.
And that's when I go to work.
I zap in two dimensions every day It's my job to be a hero, save the world And make things right Kung fu moles, rescue trolls Punch a zombie! Score a goal! I'm a robot, I'm a rabbit, I'm a knight Stretching, swinging, sliding by Kicking monsters in the eye Boone and Sashi always sticking by my side No villain's gonna stop Penn Zero, part-time hero! Penn Zero, part-time hero! Penn Zero, part-time hero! Penn Zero Good afternoon, Phyllis! Whoa, you have hand-carven marionettes of yourself? Of course.
They make wonderful gifts.
You disappoint me.
No time for fun.
Yo coconut! And when do you ever say "yo coconut?" Is catch phrase.
Every hand-carven marionette has catch phrase.
Yo coconut! - Hey.
- Yo coconut! We're dragons.
You are clear for takeoff.
Oh, yeah.
This mission is going to rock.
- Sashi, check the specs.
- All right.
We're cadets competing for the title of "Top Dragon" at Wingfire Academy, where dragons are trained in fire-breathing and air-to-air combat.
- Looking' good, Cupcake.
- Hey.
Who are you calling Cupcake? Hey, Boone, just take a look at the Oh, me, 'cause of the Thanks.
Catch you later.
That makes me Condor and Penn is Renegade, who is destined to become prime minister and one day save this world.
But none of that will happen unless he's named Top Dragon.
Sounds like a piece of cake for Renegade.
Ah! Wow, that is a bright sun.
Cadets I am General Talon.
I will judge a head-to-head match-up between the top two cadets to determine who will be named Top Dragon.
Good luck to you all.
Now I'll turn you over to Sergeant Instructor Mittens.
Thank you, General Talon.
Cadets, it's a true honor to train the best and the brightest and the best and the Okay, she's gone.
Enough of that nonsense.
I'm looking for any dragon capable of beating Renegade.
You want the best? You want Blaze.
Dude.
Whoa.
Even his sunglasses have sunglasses.
Uh.
What's wrong with my face? You're smiling.
Why are you smiling? Fine, Blaze it is.
Larry, give everyone else their grades and validate their parking.
Wow.
Blaze totally redefines cool.
I forgot who I even thought was cool before I laid eyes on him.
Yeah, you know, I will admit he is charming, but you know, it's a "less charming than me in every single possible way" kind of charming.
I just wanted to wish you luck, give you this signed picture of Blaze signing a picture of Blaze and tell you there's no shame in finishing a distant second.
To prepare for the Top Dragon competition, you must complete the final training session.
Blaze isn't sure Renegade can handle it.
Oh, I'll handle it.
Yeah, I'll handle it like I'd handle something with a handle.
Like a pot.
You're in a race to the top Got to go past the middle 'Cause the middle's not the place to stop It's like I said at the start Tryin's only a part Got to race it all the way to the top Making it to the top is awesome Not making it to the top is not as awesome! Like I said at the start Tryin's only a part Got to race it all the way to the top! We'll settle this once and for all tomorrow in the finals.
Are the finals tomorrow? Blaze had completely forgotten.
That guy needs to learn he's not as great as everyone thinks he is.
You should probably just focus on the mission at hand because you're not gonna out-cool that guy.
Whoa! Yeah! Wow.
Why is it so good to have birds in your hair? That's unsanitary.
Penn is completely rattled.
He doesn't stand a chance against Blaze in the finals.
I don't know.
Isn't this the part where you get overconfident, Penn makes a personality adjustment and the sure thing isn't so sure? Oh, don't be ridic Actually, that's a very good point.
We must find a way to give Blaze the upper hand.
- But how? - The ultimate show-down.
Karaoke! Yeah! Blaze! Where do you think you and your magnificent hair are going? Despite Blaze's confidence, Renegade's a tough customer.
So Blaze is going home to get some rest before the final competish.
No, he's not.
Mittens sees the way Blaze looks at Condor.
Wouldn't Blaze like to sing her a song? Blaze is slightly terrified of Condor, but Blaze would like to get to know Condor a little better.
This one's going out from a Blaze to a Condor.
My eye! You're in a race to the top You got to go past the middle 'Cause the middle's not the place to stop This one is a sax solo.
It's like I said at the start Tryin's only a part Got to race it all the way to the top Now that's what they call a show stopper.
- Nobody can top that! - Nobody? Now for the main act! What are you doing? This is the part where I get everybody hyped.
Look, Penn, you know I don't like being the voice of reason, but I think your jealousy of the Blaze-meister is going to get you in trouble.
Back off, Cupcake.
I'm not jealous, okay? I just want everyone to stop looking at him and start paying attention to me.
Hit it! All right, song number one of ten.
You're a karoke king You giving it your all while you sing I hope it doesn't backfire 'Cause that would be a real bad thing Ten songs! Yeah.
Oh.
- My voice is gone.
- Sore throat? Shame.
It's going to be very difficult to breathe fire at the competition tomorrow.
You tricked me? Well, if it isn't Mrs.
Sashi Blaze.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about you choosing your new boyfriend over me.
I didn't choose anyone over you.
I can have friends too.
He can make live birds fly out of his hair.
Live birds? Is that what you need? You want a little bit of this? Welcome to the finals.
The first to scorch all three of his opponent's targets and fly through the finish ring will graduate Top Dragon.
On your marks.
Good luck, Renegade.
- I will not be psyched out - Get set.
- by your good sportsmanship.
- Fly! Huh? Ha! What a terrible shot.
Ah! Did I forget to mention that as instructor, I'll be making sure everything's fair.
But only for Blaze.
Blaze wins on Blaze's own merits What the heck Your rival just got smoked for you There's a reason everyone likes him He's kind and super cool He's gonna crash and burn Going down in flames What are you gonna do Yeah! Look, Blaze, you can't fly, I can't shoot.
But what do you say we win this thing together? Blaze concurs.
Nooo! For the first time in the storied history of Wingfire Academy, we have two Top Dragons.
Renegade pushed Blaze to Blaze's limit.
On behalf of Blaze, Blaze thanks Renegade.
Well, Blaze pushed Renegade to his limits too.
Nooo! Ugh! - Ah! - Hello, Wingfire Academy! Best friends give the best goodbyes It's emotional, but remember the highs Dragons always soar High in the skies Oh! Come on! I propose the following amendments to Boone's birthday celebration.
Sub-point A, the cake shall be baked in the shape of a life-sized Boone.
Whose birthday is 8 months away.
Can't we just zap Quiet.
Boone has the floor.
Sub-point B, cake Boone should be a flattering representation of real Boone but not outshine real Boone.
Oh, let's just get to the mission, please! Staff meetings improve workplace atmospheres.
Fine, then may I share an idea to improve the workplace atmospheres? - Thank you.
I think - Time's up.
Meeting adjourned.
Seriousl Hmm.
Not sure what this is, but toss in a lemon wedge and we might have something here.
- It's poison.
- What?! - Poison? - You're Dr.
Barzelby and you've just tested the potion on yourself.
But something went horribly wrong.
The formula for the cure can be found in these notes.
But if we fail to make the antidote by midnight, you will never recover.
- Recover from what? - Has anyone seen the little boys room? Actually little girls room.
Not little girls room, definitely old ladies room No? - Has anyone seen the room? - Boone, can we please just focus on what's gonna happen to me in 2 hours if we fail? Hey, guys, the Excuse me, sorry.
Uh, Rippen isn't with you, is he? I'm sorry Rippen's missing? Oh, no.
Well, I have to find a cure by midnight, otherwise I probably will die from poison but, yeah, I'd love to help you find the one guy in the universe who wants desperately to see me fail.
That would be a dream of mine! Where should we start looking? In the library or the foyer? - Where, Larry? - Hmm I'd start with the foyer.
Is it foyer or foyer? - You know, look in both.
- Both, wha Ah! - Ew.
- Rippen! Sorry.
It was the only thing I could find that would fit.
- But why must I carry this parasol? - Because it's darling.
When the good Dr.
Barzelby gets impatient, it brings out his inner monster.
That's you.
Then I'm here to stay.
Impatience is my foe's greatest weakness.
No, his greatest weakness is, he's crazy afraid of sock puppets.
Nice.
Okay.
If Penn doesn't get the cure by midnight, he'll be a you-monster forever.
Meanwhile, we have to make more of the potion, pour it into the reservoir and turn the entire city into monsters just like you, handsome.
- Not gonna happen, Rippen.
- What? You think you, a common sidekick, can stop me? Oh, my lawn.
Looks like laughing turns you back to Penn.
Okay.
When I was Rippen, I could hear everything.
That means he can hear us now.
I might jeopardize the mission.
You guys go and gather what we need before midnight without me.
Just curious, but you can hear everything? Yeah, and the sock puppet thing was supposed to be our secret.
Okay? So heard you got a B+ in home-ec.
Not bad.
Not bad.
Who left the fog-machine running? 'Tis nothing.
It's an exceptionally clear night.
Why earlier, I saw me hand in front of me face, I did.
We're only missing one ingredient for the cure.
- Dande-chry - It's dandechryslionthimumum.
Dandechrawcasamanthamum.
A rare plant that is.
In fact, the only one in all of London town is at the Royal British Greenhouse Museum.
Hey, check out his antique table.
Once again, these are not antiques yet.
It's brand new.
Okay? It's brand new at this time.
Later, yes it would be an antique, but now it's brand new, man.
- The guy just made it.
- Oh, okay.
Would you look at this antique lamp? I used to have this lamp, but when you'd pull the string to turn it on, things got dark.
Even weirder, pull it again to turn it off, bam, light again.
Never could figure out what was wrong with it.
You were turning it off when you thought you were turning it on.
Anyways, I wound up trading that lamp - for a pinwheel at this swap meet - Wow! Principal Larry, let me, uh let me give you a tip.
Stories, they need to have a beginning, a middle, and most importantly, an end.
So please, I beg you to just get to the point of your pinwheel story! Anyway, the pinwheel didn't spin.
And that's when I realized this might be a flower or a lollipop.
And so look, it tasted like bees, but that doesn't necessarily And have you ever tasted bees? It's not like a wasp.
- A wasp has a creamier texture - Arrgh! Trying the boy's patience is a stroke of genius.
Can't you just pretend that was your plan? I wasn't expecting security cameras.
There it is! The dandecreepdandystungle.
No, Sashi, it's a dandechryslionthimumum.
Monkey! You're too late! We've made enough serum to turn the entire Coochy-coochy-coo! Hurry! We've got a serum to mix.
You got to keep your cool, PZ.
You want to know how I keep my cool? - I start with an oatmeal footbath.
- Boone! I mean, you can use raisin crunchies Oh, yeah, sorry.
On it.
Please.
Go on.
I once had some raisin crunchies locked in a place I can't even talk about right now Ticking down, losing time I'm feeling the changes Running 'round we're at the finish line I'm really a stranger Breathe in Breathe out Toxic See me down, out of time I'm turning the pages We have to wait for it to boil.
- Can you keep it together, PZ? - Yeah, yeah.
I'm good.
I mean, I have two whole minutes before, uh Come on! Boil already! Well, well, well, you're just in time to watch me eradicate your son.
Ripen, what have you done with Penn? That is Penn.
He turns into Rippen whenever he loses his cool.
And Rippen turns into Penn whenever he laughs.
Sweetie.
I know being patient can be tough.
Our family has a history of being adrenaline junkies.
- Even today, I find it hard to sit still.
- We know it's hard to be calm when the fate of the world hangs in the balance but learning to calm down is an essential part of being a hero.
We all need you back, Penn.
So dig deep, buddy.
Come on.
- Mom, Dad! - Ha! Foolish Zeroes, you know me too well to think I'd be so easily defeated.
Brock, do something.
We have to save Penn.
Buddy, there's nothing we can do.
Rippen defeated us and now he's defeated our son.
I see what you're doing.
I enjoy tears of misery but it's not going to work.
Goodbye forever, PZ.
I never found the bathroom and I really, really have to go.
This reminds me of the time I was in an all-night cry-athlon charity event for kitties without whiskers.
Those poor whiskerless kitties.
I beg you, Larry.
Oh! Turn that frown upside down.
Hurry, Penn! All in good time, friends.
No need to lose our heads.
We have three seconds to spare.
One, two, go.
Okay, everybody, from now on, you're gonna see a cool, calm Good.
Let us to discuss Phyllis's birthday.
You got to be !
And that's when I go to work.
