We interrupt this program for breaking news.

Hi, thanks for joining us. Uh, we've just been given word that...

Good evening.

Trent? Uh, your hair looks wet.

Thanks. I was washing it when I heard there was breaking news.

Yeah, anyway.

We've just gotten word that super criminal Stainless Steve has been

right here in Swellview. But luckily, we're being told that Captain Man and

Danger are currently on the lookout for Stainless Steve.

Mary?

Mary, could you please not dry your...

You want to tag in, kid?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You work on the sandwich, I'll work on stainless steel.

Deal. I'll munch, you punch.

I'm going to wreck you, Kid Danger.

Yeah, I don't think so, Steve.

I have super fast reflexes that don't even try.

Oh!

Nice shot, Steve.

Hey, you know what? That's it.

Careful, don't fall.

Oh, you forgot to be careful.

Okay, let's call the cops and have them come pick up this joke.

Watch out, watch out, watch out. Watch out for what? Turn around, please.

I'm not turning around.

I'm not turning around for you or anybody.

I'm not joking, dude.

I am not joking. I can hear there's like a car coming.

See what you get when you mess with us?

Who are you guys?

We're the Thumb Buddies. And you've just been thumbed.

What? Shut up!

Quick, run to the thumb mobile and get the rope. Okay, Joey.

Over there. Quick, hurry.

We're going live.

Hi, I'm Kimberly Cross, and we're coming to you live for an exclusive report on

super criminal...

Excuse me, sir. Is that Stainless Steve, and did you capture him?

Uh, yeah. Well, we did.

Woo! Somebody!

Yeah!

I am sorry.

That's my partner, Mark!

And you are? I'm Joey!

Me and Mark are the somebody!

The somebody!

Somebody! Yeah, we fight crime!

I see. So are you two guys? Oh, very sorry.

Me and my buddy, we gotta take that criminal to the cops. Oh, but I just

few more questions. Sorry, bro. We're all...

We always have time for interviews.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, what's up? What's going on? Are we live right now? Are we on the news?

Yes. As you can see, I am now with Captain Man and Kid Danger.

So, what's up?

What's up? What's up with you?

What do you mean?

What do you want?

Well, I figured you'd want to interview us about Stanley Steve.

And, uh, you know, the people at 12, you might want to know. No, the city is

safe once again.

Thanks to us. Oh, you're welcome.

Dude, what, what, what? Dude, what, what, what? You're not seeing me on the

news?

Oh,

Stanley Steve is gone.

What?

Where'd Stanley Steve go?

He was captured by the somebody.

What? I'm so sorry, what did you say? I think you're mistaken. You sound like

you said somebody. We captured Stanley Steve. I don't know what you think. I

don't know what you're trying to explain to her.

He and I were the ones who captured Stanley Steve. And we got him.

Thank you.

I'm Kimberly Cross, crossing off. Where are we going?

Are you done?

That's not the end of the interview, is it? I mean, I had more to say.

He was talking and I was talking.

Oh, hey, I found the sandwich.

It all just kind of happened. I wanted an after -school job, but then an

indestructible superhero hired me to be his sidekick.

Now we blow bubbles and fight crime. Feels good.

Oh, this is my, uh, Thumb Buddy shirt.

Yeah, well, you better take that off.

Why?

Because last week, Ray and Henry caught that criminal stainless Steve, and those

Thumb Buddy guys took credit for the capture.

So?

So, Ray and Henry were pretty mad about it, and if I were you, I'd take...

Hey, how'd it go at the baseball game?

Oh, I don't know. I'd say it went pretty well.

Uh, yeah, I mean, we didn't really do that much other than, uh... We fought a

bear! We fought a bear! Oh, my God! Yes, we did!

We fought a bear!

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! What bear? Okay, okay, okay. So, should I tell them

story? Yeah, yeah, tell them. All right, all right, all right. These college

kids brought a real -life bear to the baseball game. Yeah, you know, just to

funny. Which it was. Oh, my God, so hilarious. It was hilarious. So funny.

Anyway, until the hot dog guy came out. Yeah, you know, Wieners. I love Wieners.

Yeah, you know, right.

So, bear.

He gets away from the wiener strike, and he just loses his mind. Just chases the

poor wiener guy right out of the field. So Ray chases the bear on the field.

I did, I did. And check this out. He tackles the bear. I tackle the bear!

I tackle the real -life bear!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the bear gets up. He's like... And there's spit coming out

of his mouth. He goes... And he slacks at me. His claws just break right across

my face.

Oh, my God!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I guess he thought that Ray was gonna go down or

something.

Which, I guess, in bear language, probably means... Uh -oh!

This human is indestructible!

Stupid bear! No idea! No, I can't be! You're smarter than me! You're the

smartest man! Yes! That happened!

Oh, wow.

Unreal, man.

Hey, we should turn on the news. I bet they're talking about us right now. Oh,

yeah, let's see what they're saying about us.

Okay.

Just moments ago?

That's right, Mary.

See? You're talking about us. We bought a bear, my man!

Okay, now we're going to go live to the scene where it all went down and talk

with the actual heroes who saved the day.

What?

How are they going to interview us right now?

Yeah, yeah, because we're here.

Thanks, Trent.

I'm here live at Nacho Ball where a local sweaty man committed a crime just

moments ago.

What is all this about? Why are they at Nacho Ball?

Can you tell us what happened?

Yeah.

Um, this guy, I think his name is Jeff.

He ordered a three -ball nacho sack, and when he paid for it, he handed me a

coupon.

But there was something wrong with that coupon, wasn't there?

We've just received cell phone video of the attempted nacho ball crime, so we're

going to show that right now.

Okay, that'll be $12 .21.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Here's a nacho ball coupon for $20.

Great, I will just ring this up.

Thanks, bro.

Jeff, you're so stupid.

Hey, this coupon expired four days ago.

What?

Bravest? I have done braver things on the toilet. Yeah, I know, right. Wait,

what?

Kimberly, are you with the heroes right now?

I sure am, Trent.

And once again, it looks like our city of Swellview owes a big thank you to the

Thumb Buddies. You're very welcome.

We appreciate that, yes.

What is with the knee pads?

Okay, who are these... Thumb buddies, where do they come from? Yeah, and why

they in our town doing our job?

Charlotte, I told you last week that I wanted a full report on these guys. Now,

where is it? I sent you an email last week.

You know I don't read my emails unless you send me a text. Tell me to read my

emails. I also sent you a text.

All right.

Will you just tell us who these thumb buddies are?

They're just... They're just guys.

Regular guys who started fighting crime.

Then why is everyone making such a big deal about them?

Well, they're new and they seem nice. We're very nice. Yeah, we're delightful,

Jasper.

Okay, okay. I think you guys may be overreacting.

Overreacting? We're overreacting. This?

This? We are underreacting.

Hey, look how popular those guys are.

And as you can see, it looks like everyone wants their tacos on.

Back to you, Trent.

And Mary.

Okay. Looks like the Thumb Buddies are going to be autographing tacos for quite

a while, so if you're in the area of Nacho Ball, you might want to head on

there and meet them.

Are they kidding me?

They're not even going to mention the thing we did at the baseball game? Wait,

wait, wait.

And now some news about today's baseball game.

The Swellview Sailors lost 7 -3.

That's it.

All right, that does it.

We're going down to Nacho Ball.

I'm going to tell those rotten thumb buddies that Swellview is our town. It's

our town?

Who needs the thumb buddies? No buddies. No buddies, I know. Exactly.

I found a bear. Let's go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, since you guys are going to Nacho Ball, can

you pick me up a three -ball nacho sack?

No, we're not going to pick you up a three...

What are you wearing?

What do you mean?

Move your hands.

Jasper, just move your hands away from your shirt.

Wow. Okay, calm down. Calm down. It's fine.

It's all good.

You good?

Just walk away. Let's go. Come on.

Dang it!

That was dangerous. What if you hit him? Oh, it was set to a light stun.

Ooh, wait.

Yikes. Wow.

Let's go.

Yay!

Hi, somebody!

Hey there, cute thing. Oh, what's up, little princess?

You want us to sign that for you?

You want a selfie with us? You want a t -shirt?

Uh, yeah, sure. Sure to everything.

Hey, isn't that your obnoxious little sister in there with the thumb buddies?

Yeah.

What is she doing?

Uh, I thought she was supposed to be the president of Captain Man Fan Club. She

is. I don't know what she's... Oh, here she comes.

Yeah, hi, pi... Hello, little girl.

Uh, hey,

Captain Man and Kid Danger.

I, uh, didn't expect to see you guys here.

Yeah, we bet you didn't. Yeah, we bet you didn't.

Yeah, well, I... Nice t -shirt. Yeah, with the thumb buddies on it.

Oh, come on, this is just a t -shirt. It's not like I'm their number one fan.

Oh, really?

Then explain this.

Number one fan?

Jeez, man. Wow.

Okay, look, I know this was wrong. I just wanted to meet them and have them

a taco and take a selfie, but it was just this one time. I swear it didn't

anything.

You know, just forget it. Yeah, we have something to do, so... Hey, what's up?

How's it going?

Yeah, it's us.

know where you came from we don't want to know i'm gonna tell you something

right now okay why are you smiling at us like that joey joey i i

i think i'm gonna faint just just hold on to me i'm gonna faint just live in

moment okay just breathe and live this moment okay

okay

The only reason we ever even decided to be crime fighters is because we wanted

to be exactly like you two.

We humble ourselves before you.

These guys are all right. Yeah, I'm starting to like these guys. I

mean, fellas.

You may rise before us.

Look, guys, you know, the whole superhero thing, it's sort of like...

Emergency. Yeah. They're getting a real emergency call!

I know, I know! Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

I should probably take this, if you'll excuse me. Oh, yeah, go ahead. Oh, my

God! How are you going?

I don't know these guys. I don't know what to say.

Don't leave.

Cool name.

Nah, it's stupid.

Well,

uh, how'd you guys come up with it?

Well, Mark and I used to be dance instructors.

We taught the elderly to dance.

But we never really felt fulfilled, you know?

We felt like a couple of nobodies.

But then one night we were having dinner with my sister and she says, You guys.

She talks with a list. She does.

She says, you guys, you don't have to be nobody.

You can be somebody.

And we were like, somebody?

You just sounded like some buddies.

So now that's who we are. The some buddies.

So I'm guessing you two aren't married.

Wait for the right girl. That special someone.

Where is she? Keep looking.

Kid. Kid.

Stainless Steve is on the loose.

What? I thought the cops had him. They did, but he got away, and now we gotta

get him again.

All right, okay.

All right, I'm sorry, guys. No, no, no, no, no, no. Can we go with you?

Oh, please.

Please let us come with you. You gotta let us come with you.

I don't think that's a good idea. I'll rub your shoulders on the way.

What? No, I'm sorry, guys. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

You'll rub my shoulders?

Sure.

You got good hands?

Yeah!

All right, let's go.

Kid,

you see anything?

No.

Nothing. You sure Stainless Steve ran this way?

Yeah, that's what the cap in the police helicopter said. Maybe he... Oh, this

guy's hands are like magic.

Thank you very much.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look.

Footprints.

Leaning up to the shed.

Oh, hey.

Do you guys think Stainless Steve is hiding in there?

Yeah, probably.

Cool. Let us go in there and get him.

Yeah, let us do it. No, that's not a good idea, guys. Come on, you guys,

If you guys will just let us do this.

Don't make us feel like we really did something.

Like... Like our lives have meaning.

Well... All right. Okay, you guys can go and get him.

Seriously?

Careful. I don't want those fabulous hands getting hurt.

Totally get it. Totally get it.

Okay,

man.

This is it.

I love you.

You tried to trick us.

You tried to shoot us into space.

No, I didn't.

You did, too.

We just saw the rocket. It just flew away.

Yeah, so?

What are you going to do about it?

This is bad.

Shh.

We don't know what happened.

What? I don't know what you're talking about. We were never here.

You were where?

Somewhere else. I don't know. I don't even know who you are. I wasn't here.

Maybe it was you. Okay. I just want to get some lemonade. Walk away.

There you are, you little needle.

You thought I couldn't find you in that haystack, did you now?

Holy hogspin!

Oh, damn it! I lost my needle again.

Oh, what in the name of mama's whiskers?

All right.

Whoever's in there best come out with your hands held high.

What? What did you say?

And you aliens better stay back unless you want to get hit on the head with

this.

Hey, that is mine.

Not anymore.

You know, this is the first time we've had a

professional photographer here.

We're recreating a family photo we took 11 years ago.

We're gonna recreate it.

Okay, family, photo time.

Hey,

can we please have a little bit of enthusiasm?

No, this is making me late for the party at Janet Tetrazzini's house.

But you hate Janet Tetrazzini. Sometimes.

Yeah, I can.

All right, Henry.

Let's do this. Take off your robe.

wondering why Joey's all hairy and talks weird.

Needle.

Needle. Where are you, Needle?

My skin is purple, my right leg's enormous, like a short, fat tree.

All I want to do is find my needle, which y 'all aliens done gone made me

again.

I'm glad you asked.

The reason we look this way is because when we were up in space, our rocket

passed through a radiation storm.

It's okay, Jody. We're alive.

Even though we're mutants.

And since Captain Man and Kid Danger didn't even try to rescue us when we're

in space, now it's time for Thumb Revenge!

So that's where we're going now.

To get revenge on Captain...

to tell you, the radiation storm up in fate, it caused my right arm to become

electrified. See?

Sorry, Joey!

And now, I'm done with them.

and I'll see where the camera is.

Good.

Then walk to it.

Well, geez.

Oh,

Henry, will you take off that watch?

Uh, yeah.

Wait, where are you going?

To, uh, take off my watch. But I can only take it off if I'm standing on the

front porch, Dad.

Well, geez.

Hey, what's up? You triple beat me?

Well, ahoy there, sailor danger.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I'm in a silly sailor suit now. Will you tell me

what's up?

Hey, Charlotte, Jasper, get over here. Come here, you gotta see this.

No, dude, I don't want Charlotte and Jasper to see this, okay? They're gonna

make fun of me.

I'll talk to you later. What? No, dude, you triple beat me. Oh, right.

Uh, there's a burglary happening right now at the fuel factory on Winchester.

Ferris Fuelers? Yep. So we'll meet you there in 15 minutes?

Uh, okay. It's 7 .30 now.

Probably be there in like, okay, or just hang up while I'm talking.

do you think we'll need to steal?

A lot.

Slowly.

Oh, what is that? What is wrong with you? She's incredible.

We have fat legs. We have fat legs. We've got hair everywhere. Go back in

shadows. Hold on. Please turn around. We're back up. Why do you look like

Hang on a second.

Hey, hey, hey.

Don't make me look at them. Hey, hey, hey. No, no, no.

Why, why, why?

Those guys.

Yes. Yeah, they're gross.

I think they're the...

Oh,

all right.

Okay, we'll see who shuts up after we step out of these trash cans.

When you get there.

past the moon and right into a violent radiation storm.

It was violent.

Which is what changed our bodies and turned us into mutants. We are mutants.

And that's why we hate you.

No.

We're not the ones you shot. You opened a space. Yeah, we didn't know that that

shed was a rocket trap. Come on, guys. That's not on us. Still, after we got

shot into space, you could have helped us. You never helped us.

How? What were we supposed to do? Guys, there's no way we could have gone up

into outer space to rescue you.

This looks bad. I guess we forgot about you guys. But you make a good point.

Yeah, when you're right, you're right. And you are right.

Tell you what.

What? Telling them? Okay, I'll listen.

I suppose we feel kind of bad that you guys got shot in the space.

And got turned into mutants.

And got turned into mutants.

So, how about this? You guys just put that rocket fuel back where you found

And we'll just forget that this whole thing happened.

All right?

Okay? We could get some barbecue. Yeah. You down? I am totally up for some

barbecue. You guys like ribs? Oh, I do. Come on. Everybody likes ribs. Yeah, but

it's always polite to ask. Shut up!

Again with the shut up. So rude, man.

You guys ruined our lives. Let's not be dramatic.

So now we're going to ruin yours.

Talk to me, kid. Kid? I think the kid's going to be taking a nap for a while.

Did I forget to tell you that the radiation storm left me with a right arm

of electricity?

Yeah, you forgot.

No, I didn't.

I just wanted it to be a surprise.

Right. Well, you're a little electric surprise when I knocked out Kid Danger.

But let's see how it works on a man.

is indestructible.

Let me talk to her.

Wait, I just want to see their ribs.

Give me... Hi,

Charlotte. The ribs aren't important.

Okay, we just want to know if you've seen Henry because we've been... Are

ribs in a wheel?

Yeah. I got them from Slappy's. They call it the wheel deal.

Which street?

I'm not sure, Charlotte. I think we're in a... I think we're trapped inside

something, like a... Like a... You're in a rocket!

Revenge! Revenge in a rocket!

It appears we're in a rocket.

such a bad dream.

All right, well, forget about that right now because we've got a little bit of a

situation going on. No, I've got to tell you about this dream. What?

Oh, dude, no one would like to hear about other people's dreams. I was an

on Broadway.

I was playing Annie, you know, the orphan?

Let me out!

I tried singing The Sun Will Come Out, but I couldn't remember when.

Stop talking, please.

I tried singing The Sun Will Come Out today and next week and Wednesday and

Thursday and Hanukkah, but that wasn't right. The audience just kept laughing

me.

they're laughing, right? Okay, so that's a good thing. No, it's bad, dude,

because the audience, like, the laughter sounded fake.

What? Yeah, like fake laughter. Fake?

Yeah, you know, like that awful fake laughter you hear on TV?

Anyway, what did you want to tell me?

Oh, uh, just that we're trapped in a rocket and the Thumb Buddies are about

shoot us in outer space?

What? Yeah.

Why don't you say something instead of sitting there asking me about my dream?

I didn't! Yes, you did. You asked me about my dream. What are you talking

You need to get your priorities. together, all right? Hey, this reminds

that other time.

Let me out of this rocket right now!

Oh, sorry, we can't. We're having dinner.

We don't care if we're having dinner.

Is that barbecue?

We're having barbecue.

So who cares, man? I care!

I'm the guy who had the idea to have barbecue tonight first.

No, that was my idea.

Dude, it doesn't matter whose idea it was first. Dude, you just said that it

was...

Captain Jerk and Kid... Jerk!

Both jerks!

That's right, Joey!

And now, it's time for you guys to get shot into space!

I didn't make that joke! Okay, okay, hey, listen, listen.

We're sorry, okay?

Sorry for what?

We're not helping you guys.

When you guys got shot up in a space, we should have done something, and we

didn't. So, you know, you guys looked up to us, and we let you down.

I'm sorry.

You really mean that?

You're both sorry for what you did to us?

Yeah.

I'm not sorry.

Our fault? Yeah, well, you could have at least gone along with it and pretended

you were sorry for ten seconds while these morons left out of this rocket.

Hey, uh, uh, Captain Matt, he was just kidding. He is sorry.

No, no, I'm not.

Still kidding.

Not kidding.

It's too late.

You're both going to be orbiting the moon by this time tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

That's when it was.

What? My dream when I was Annie on Broadway.

Tomorrow. That's when the time comes out.

You're sick.

Ignition! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!

Should we, uh, eat their barbecue?

Yes.

Not sorry.

Okay,

I took my watch off. Let's take it.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Henry.

Hey, what happened to the family photo? I thought we were going to take a family

photo. Well, you were gone so long, Piper got impatient, so she went to that

party at her friend Janet's house.

Oh.

And where's Dad?

He went to get a wheel of ribs.

photographer teaching me how to dance.

Okay.

Night. Good night, Henry.

Good night, Henry.
