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 get super fast reflexes, so don't even try.

Oh!

Nice shot, Steve.

Okay, 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.

That's it, I'm not turning around.

I'm not turning around.

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 Stainless Steve.

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

Uh, yeah. Well, we did.

gotta take that criminal to the cops. Oh, but I just have a few more

Sorry, bro. We're on duty. Come on, Mark.

Somebody!

Proving once again that real crime fighters don't always have time for

interviews. 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 stainless Steve.

And, uh, you know, the people of Swell, you might want to know that 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,

stainless Steve is gone.

captured by the Thumb Buddy.

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

Thumb Buddy. We captured Stan with the Thumb Buddy. I don't know what you

I was trying to explain to her that... He and I were the ones who captured Stan

with the... We got him.

I got hit by Tim in the face. Thank you.

I'm Kimberly Cross, crossing off. Where are you 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.

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, hey! What bear?

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Should I tell them the story? Yeah, yeah, tell them. All right, all right,

right. These college kids brought a real -life bear to the baseball game. Yeah,

you know, just to be funny. Which it was. Oh, my God, so hilarious. So funny.

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

Yeah, you know, right. So the bear, he gets away from the Wieners, right? And

just loses his mind. Just chases the poor Wiener guy right out of the field.

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, the bear gets up. He's like... And there's spit coming out of his mouth.

He goes... He slashes at me. His claws just break right across my face.

Oh, my God.

thought that ray was gonna go down or something like that but instead instead

the bear goes which i guess in bear language probably means oh this human is

destructive stupid bear no idea that i can't be smarter than me

yes that happened oh wow unreal man

hey we should turn on the news i bet they're talking about us right now

Just moments ago?

That's right, Mary.

See? You're talking about us. We fought 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, bruh.

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 pad?

Okay.

These thumb buddies, where do they come from?

Yeah, and why are 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 overreacting.

Hey,

look how popular those guys are.

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 over

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 12 of you sailors lost seven to three.

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?

Just live in the moment, okay? Just breathe and live this moment.

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

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

God! How are you doing?

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

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 the list. She does.

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

You can be somebody.

And we were like, somebody?

Which sounded like thumb buddies.

So, now that's who we are. The thumb buddies.

So,

I'm guessing you two aren't married.

Waiting 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,

Yeah, that's what the captain of police helicopters 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 them.

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

guys. Please.

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 them.

Seriously?

Be careful.

I don't want those fabulous hands getting hurt.

Totally get it. Totally get it.

Okay,

man.

This is it.

I love you.

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 gonna do about it?

This is bad.

Shh.

We don't know what happened.

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

You were where?

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

Neither were you. Okay. Can I get some lemonade?

Walk away.

Where are you, Needle?

There you are, you little needle.

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

Oh, holy... Oh, damn it!

I lost my needle again.

What?

In the name of Mama's Whiskers.

All right.

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

What planet is this?

What? What'd you say?

This is Earth!

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.

Oh, man.

Okay, okay, are you guys done laughing now?

like 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 Man and Kid Danger!

Revenge! Hey, you're not leaving my pipe!

I forgot to tell you. The radiation storm up in space, it caused my right

become electrified.

See?

Sorry, Joey.

And now I'm done with the...

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.

suit now will you tell me what's up hey charlotte jasper get over here come here

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

Oh, right.

Uh, there's a burglary happening right now at that 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.

you think we'll need to steal?

A lot.

Oh, what is that? What is wrong with his skin? And his white hands. Look at that

fat leg. Look at that fat leg. He's got hair everywhere. Go back in the shadows.

Hold on. Please turn around. Turn back around.

Why do you look like that?

Hang on a second.

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

Why, why, why, why?

Those guys.

Yes. Yeah, they're gross.

We saw you guys get trapped in a rocket. Yeah, get shot up into space.

Yeah, and P .S., why do you look like freaks now? I was just going to ask

Are you stealing rocket fuel?

Yeah. That's right, we are.

Jerks. Jerks.

Jerks. Be quiet!

Shut up!

Oh, all right.

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

I get when you

It flew past the moon and right into a violent radiation storm.

It was violent.

It changed our bodies. It turned us into mutants. We are mutants. And that's why

we hate you.

No.

Wait, wait, wait.

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

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

outer space to rescue you that's right joey you and captain man went into space

about a year ago to save those astronauts on the space station yeah we

did do that that's true that's true you're correct yeah no i mean that's a

point i remember that this looks bad i guess we forgot about you guys but you

make a good point yeah when you're right

You calling them? Okay, I'll listen.

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

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. Sugar!

Again with the shut up. So rude, man.

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

So now we're gonna ruin yours.

Radiation storm left me with a right arm full of electricity.

Yeah, you forgot.

No, I didn't.

I just wanted it to be a surprise.

Right. Well, your little electric surprise might have knocked out Kid

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

Be gentle.

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 Slabby's. They call it the wheel.

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?

No, 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...

At least they're laughing, right? Okay, so that's a good thing. No, 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 into outer space.

What? Yeah.

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

I did it! Yes, you did. You asked me about my dream.

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.

or whose idea it was first. 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.

Sorry for what?

For not helping you guys.

When you guys got shot up into 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?

I'm not sorry.

Dude!

No, it wasn't 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

rocket.

Hey, uh, uh, Captain Matt, he was just kidding. He is sorry. No, no, I'm not.

Just kidding.

Not kidding.

It's too late!

You're both gonna be orbiting the moon by...

That's when it was.

What? My dream when I was Annie on Broadway.

Tomorrow.

That's when the sun comes out.

You're sick.

Should we, uh, eat their barbecue?

Yes.

Not sorry.

Okay,

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

Picture. 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 Jana's house.

photographer teaching me how to dance.

Okay. Good night.

Good night, Henry.

Good night, Henry.
