All language subtitles for The Villains of Valley View s02e15 Bad Influence

Hardly I cannot believe you woke me up
this early on a Saturday.

I was in the middle of an amazing dream
wandering all alone through a post

-apocalyptic wasteland.

How was that amazing?

Because I was still asleep.

Today is Starling's safe sky flyover.

She's been flying all over the world to
greet her fans and let them know as long

as she's in the sky, everyone is safe.

Oh, and you know how she does that? By
getting a full night's sleep.

Here she comes.

Good morning, Malibu.

Okay,

now

that was worth waking up for.

Of course I'm okay.

Hello? I'm a superhero.

Can I get you anything? Water?

An ice pack? A selfie commemorating this
horribly embarrassing moment?

What the heck happened? I guess I'm a
little tired.

Between all these flyovers, saving
people, and TV show appearances.

Did you know I'm a celebrity judge on
Can Kids Cook?

Spoiler alert, they can't.

Sounds to me like you need a break. I
can't take a break.

The world is counting on me to protect
them. I have a reputation to uphold.

Oh, come on.

Everyone needs a break.

Yeah, and I think your reputation
already took a hit when you nosedived

that kid's nachos.

Bad. Now these people have photographic
evidence that their favorite superhero

isn't as perfect as they thought I was.

Amy, can't you help her out? I mean, she
did save you and your entire family

from Shadow. Well, I... Pulled a feather
out of her hair. What more do you want?

Fine.

There. I just killed everyone's bones.

Will you please warn me before you do
that?

Hey, I just saved her a lot of public
embarrassment.

There she is.

Okay, I slightly delayed her public
embarrassment.

Time for takeoff.

Come on, just fly south already.

Guess I'll have to use a different
power.

She froze the space -time continuum.

Best power ever.

Good deal. She's got a pause button. So
does my TV remote.

We gotta get out of here.

Oh, come on. You can hide out at Amy's.

No, she can't. Amy's hiding out at
Amy's.

What are you two so giggly about?

Been pranking old ladies at the bingo
hall again?

No, they caught on to her.

I tell you, their bodies might be
falling apart, but their brains are

surprisingly sharp.

We have a surprise for you.

Something you have been asking for for a
very long time.

A clone of you who's a better father?

No. A robot who's a better father? No.

A hologram who's a better father? No!

You tried the hologram when you were a
baby. He kept dropping you.

Not that either of you deserve it, but
we bought you guys a video game system.

Oh, right. We asked for that, too.

Just once, I'd wish you'd see through
the jokes and hear our cries for help.

Oh, and behold, the Omega Box 4.

We asked for the Omega Box 5.

Oh, so now you're a math major?

We've been asking for this for months.
Why all of a sudden now?

Well, we thought it would be a fun way
to bring the family together.

We also bought that new game, Power
Smasher. You know, the one where the

characters use their powers to pulverize
each other. You bought Power Smasher 3?

That's the hottest game out right now.
No, it's Power Smasher 2.

Seriously?

Colby, your father's a teacher and I
work at a taco stand. Just say thank

Okay, ready to go.

We're first.

Your mother beat me in the demo game in
the store.

Now I have to beat her.

Sounds like somebody can't stand the
fact that his wife showed him up in

So you get it.

I will destroy you. Oh, quit the sweet
talk and start playing.

Yes! Yes!

Yes! That may be the quickest victory in
the history of this game!

Okay,

you've had your fun.

Or whatever that was.

It's our turn. Hand him over. Oh, no.
Now we're tied.

And in this house, there can be only one
winner.

Let's play again.

Hologram Dad might be clumsy, but I bet
he'd let us play.

Oh, hey, is there any way I could borrow
your time stop thingy next week? I have

a history test I'd just love to get out
of.

What's the difference?

You usually just cheat off me anyway.

Well, yeah, but it would be a lot easier
to cheat off of you with time stopped.

Oh, no.

Oh, no what?

And how did she not destroy your phone?

Girl, I'm hip to her games. My case is
villain -proof.

Looks like word spread.

It's an online article.

Starlings fall from grace.

Don't they mean fall from geese?

Okay, well, you might not think it's
funny, but Hartley, no, she doesn't

it's funny either.

It says I'm losing my touch as a
superhero and I should quit before

worse. What?

You made one mistake.

Everyone makes mistakes. Not
superheroes.

And it wasn't just one.

Okay, so you made a couple mistakes.

I've been so burnt out lately, I might
have made a few.

Oh, everyone makes a few.

Okay, more than a few. Will you just
tell me how many?

Lots.

Last week, I was supposed to crash a
birthday party, and I crashed into the

birthday party.

Luckily, a Havoc pinata broke my fall,
so the kids thought it was part of the

show.

I know I should be concerned, but I'm
just honored to be a pinata.

That just proves my point.

You may be a superhero, but everyone
needs a break.

It's not that easy.

Saying I need a break shows weakness,
and superheroes can't look weak.

I took an oath that I'd be ready to save
anyone, anywhere, whenever they need

me. That's on you for overcommitting.

Plus, if you're exhausted all the time,
you might not be able to save anyone.

You know what?

You're right.

And so is that article.

If I can't always be at my best, then
why bother at all?

What do you mean?

I never thought I'd say this, but I
think I'm done being a superhero.

I know this is awkward, but did you by
any chance get a picture of the piñata?

your Sunshine Club.

Wait. Is that on the table? Because
that's the two -for -one I could

get behind.

Amy, please talk some sense into her.

Hartley, it's her decision.

She wants to abandon the persona that's
been the bane of my entire existence. I

say, listen to your heart.

I'm actually thinking about settling
down here in Valley View. Forget your

heart. You can't quit.

Why not?

You quit being a villain.

Yeah, but I still amuse myself with
minor crimes.

I mean, yeah, no, I gave it all up.
You're right.

What about your powers? You can't just
let them go to waste.

Wait.

You don't have to quit.

You have the power to stop time, which
means you can be a superhero and take

breaks whenever you want.

In other places that are not Valley
View.

That is true.

But... I also took an oath that I would
never misuse my power for my own selfish

interest. Well, an oath is an oath.

I promised my grandma I would never tell
anyone her real name is Petunia.

Oh, no.

Now you two have to take an oath to
never tell anyone her real name is

Look, as long as no one catches you,
you'll be fine. Trust me.

It'll work out. I use my power to take
shortcuts all the time.

And that always works out great.

It does, doesn't it?

No! No, it doesn't! It's literally never
worked out once!

Well, then I have to keep trying, don't
I?

Listen, Starling, I know you said you'd
only use your powers to help people, but

isn't the whole reason you're in this
situation because you haven't helped

yourself?

Yeah.

It is.

And if selfishly using my power helps me
be the best superhero I can be, then...

Technically, I'm doing it for the
greater good, right?

Well, now you are just loopholing like a
pro.

I'm doing it.

Oh, he's doing it now. Okay.

I just took a 45 -minute nap.

You were right.

This is the answer.

Time to go back to Centropolis and start
my new life.

Thanks, Amy.

Anything that gets you out of here that
makes you happy. Anything that makes you

happy.

I can't believe Starling actually took
your advice.

I can't believe she wears a neck pillow
when she naps.

Taste my pain.

Okay, I don't have to sit here and take
this.

Rematch?

I don't know.

We've been hogging this game for hours.
Maybe we should let Colby and Jake have

a turn. Or, and hear me out, maybe we
shouldn't.

Seriously? It's been 24 hours since
you've gotten us our gift, and we

even been able to play.

Eva, your children are talking to you.

Nice try. When I'm an eight -foot -tall
fire -breathing ogre, I have no

children.

You know, surprisingly, that's not the
first time I've heard her say that.

I've got an idea.

Oh, no, Celia pulled a banana and found
the lair.

Ah! Every man... Oh,

it actually worked. Yeah.

Hey, is your sofa cushion soaked in
sweat, too?

Like a sponge, but I can push through
it.

I can't believe you played your parents
like that.

Well, I'm an eight -foot -tall, fire
-breathing ogre. I have no parents.

But we were in the middle of playing.

Oh, sorry.

Looks like you'll have to find another
game to play.

Yeah, there's a deck of cards in the
kitchen. Go knock yourselves out.

That's the last time we buy ourselves a
gift and pass it off as yours.

Quit cheating. You're using your super
speed to press the buttons faster.

Sorry, it's hard to know where my power
ends and my talent begins.

Here comes my finishing move.

Wait, did the lights go out or have we
been playing so long I forgot how night

works?

Pretty sure it's the power.

You wait here and guard the game so Mom
and Dad can't steal our spots.

I'll super speed downstairs and fix the
circuit breaker.

Perfect plan.

Any idea what a circuit breaker looks
like?

How about this?

You guard the game and I'll fix the
circuit breaker.

Perfect plan.

Wait, I don't know what a circuit
breaker looks like either.

Okay, fine. We'll both go. We just have
to be quick.

Perfect plan.

Ha!

Oh, that's what a circuit breaker looks
like.

They tricked us. Come on. Not so fast.

We took your advice and found another
game.

One the whole family can play together.

Those are just controllers.

Where's the game?

You are the game.

Wait, what?

Since you duped us, we decided to get
even. Because revenge is a dish best

served to your children.

That's right. You remember the remote I
made to control Kobe's powers? Well, I

repurposed the tech into these video
game controllers.

So now we can control your powers, which
allows us to use both of you in our

real -life version of Power Smasher.

Isn't that fun?

If by fun you mean demented.

Oh, we do.

Five points for me.

What do you know? It is fun to play with
your kid.

Charlie, you're back.

Why are you back?

It's the metropolis.

You just fly due north. Once you pass
the smell of oil fields in despair,

out of Valley View, and it's a straight
shot to the big city.

I know where I'm going.

Really? Because I know a few geeks who
might think otherwise.

I took your advice, and I've been using
my power to give myself breaks.

But something strange happened the last
time I used it. What do you mean? What

happened?

This happened.

My powers have been glitching, and I've
been blipping all over the place.

So stop using your power. I can't. And
if we don't fix it, I'm going to be

like this forever.

Unbelievable. You broke Starlink.

I know.

I spent all those years trying, and I
just did it by accident.

I knew I shouldn't have listened to you.
How could you tell me to abuse my power

like that? Weird.

You know, using my powers to take
shortcuts always works out great for me.

No, it doesn't! And stop saying that!

Look, darling, I just... You were
saying?

I think we should... Now where'd she go?
I'm in here.

Table for one.

Quick, grab her!

This is really getting old.

you a neck pillow?

I can't keep blipping like this forever.

Amy, big threat.

Wait.

My sonic blast can disrupt her power to
stop time. So if I use it on you, it

should disrupt the glitch and reset your
power.

But doesn't that mean you'd have to hit
her full on with a sonic blast?

Well, yeah, but that's just a bonus.

You know what?

Maybe blipping's not so bad.

Okay, it's bad.

Look, this may be the only hope we have
of getting you back to normal.

Fine. Take your best shot.

But if you ruin these lashes, I will
ruin you.

Here goes.

Okay, I did the blast and you did the
cleanup.

Colby, I apologize for whatever I'm
about to do.

I don't.

Well, it's official.

I hate video games now.

Is the super stomp with a cheap shot?

No. Hitting someone when they're down is
a cheap shot. Like this.

No. Not a super strength body slam.

Invisibility.

Forgot my controller has a chosen one
cheat code.

Its powers are really useful. We should
exploit that more often.

Mom, Dad, please, we're exhausted.

How do you think I feel? My thumb's
starting to cramp.

Well, maybe let's take a quick break and
let everyone recharge.

Thank you.

Turns out pitting your children against
each other really works up an appetite.

Good thing I built a snack bar down
here.

Why would you do that with the kitchen
right upstairs?

You're right, because when I want a
snack, I usually think, I hope I have to

climb 14 steps to get it.

I can't believe Mom and Dad would do
this to us just because we hogged a

game. I know. We just have to keep
reminding ourselves.

We're going to outlive them.

We're going to outlive them.

Colby, look.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

That I can use the controller to make
myself super speed into you over and

again?

No.

Just follow my lead.

We're about to take this game to a whole
new level.

Still think we should go with my idea.

Wait, where did our controller go?

Looking for these?

While you two were off enjoying your
snacks, we reconfigured them.

And now you two are the game.

Yeah, right. That's impossible.

Uh, not when you left the schematics
sitting around in plain sight.

Oh, boy.

Game on, Colby?

Game on, Jake.

What's wrong, Mom? You seem a little
salty.

Time to attack Dad where it really
hurts.

No!

Take me, not my devices!

Oh, you were right, Dad. This game does
bring us all together.

You have a lovely layer.

Did you just appear out of thin air?

More importantly, why haven't you
answered my text?

Dude, she literally just ghosted you.

This is useless.

Her power is way too erratic for me to
blast her. I mean, we're just going to

have to wait it out and hope her next
pop -up isn't in the middle of an axe

-throwing contest.

Wait. It seems like there's a pattern to
her blipping.

And if I'm right, then the next place
she's going to pop up is... Right there.

So that means the next place she's going
to pop up is right over... There.

Ow!

Oh, yes, we did it.

Yay! She's back to normal.

I've never been so happy to inflict pain
on a person.

Trust me, it gets even better the more
you do it.

You okay, Starling?

Yeah, I'm good.

Really? Because you're giving up not
good vibes and it's kind of bringing

the room.

We may have fixed the flipping problem,
but I'm still right back where I

started.

Look, I know my advice might not have
been the greatest.

You can say that again. Hardly.

You don't need my advice.

And you already know the answer.

You're not going to be able to take care
of anyone unless you take care of

yourself first.

I appreciate that, but it's just not who
I am. Well, then maybe it's who you

need to be.

You know, when I was a full -time
villain, I put so much pressure on

be the best I could possibly be.

And sometimes I didn't even sleep.

Because you were training so hard?

No, because I lived in an abandoned
subway station.

The point is, there's always going to be
pressure on you.

But to be honest, it seems like you're
the one putting most of it on yourself.

You might be right.

There's lots of people going through
this.

Kids, parents, all just trying to
balance their lives and not let down the

people who need them.

But what good is it if they're just
neglecting themselves?

She's right.

And I only know that because I'm
neglecting myself by helping you right

Look, ready proving you're a semi
-decent superhero?

Semi? It's the best I can do right now.

You don't need to be so hard on
yourself. Just give yourself a break.

Yeah, and if a superhero could admit
when she needs a break, you might be

helping a lot more people than just
yourself.

Thanks.

I know what I have to do now.

And so do I.

Ow! Baby!

What? You gotta make sure it sticks.

Oh, what happened down here?

Family game night.

Well, from the looks of things, I'd say
nobody won.

I don't know. By not having to
participate, I think I'm the real winner

You've learned a valuable lesson,
though.

Next time we want to play a game that
brings the whole family together, we

won't.

Yeah. Or at least find a game that
doesn't involve controlling real people.

There's no game where you can control
real people. How would that even work?

Here, let me show you.

Oh, well, now this is a game the whole
family can play together.

I just don't even wish I left with
Starling.
