-Hi, I'm Toby.
I'm just a regular student.
Well, I was before I got zapped.
Now, I'm some kind of science genius.
The only problem is, Elizabeth is too.
-[roars].
-Why don't you come for a swim?
The water's great.
-No, that water may look tempting, Verity, but there
are millions of creepy little things
slithering around down there.
-Really?
Well, the sun's nice.
-Bad for your skin.
-What?
-Sunscreen, my own personal blend.
Put it on.
You're looking old.
-Gee, thanks.
[laughter]
-Looks like someone's having a good time.
-Yes.
Perfect.
This is going to try to drive Toby right into my arms.
-You're gonna get Toby to notice you with a dog kennel?
-Exactly.
-That's not very romantic.
Why don't you send him a note?
You know, like from a secret admirer.
I've got some great paper at home with little Cupids on it.
It's really--
no.
No, you're probably right.
Dog kennel does kind of grab your interest.
-This is no ordinary kennel.
Look.
[beeping]
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): What does it do?
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): It emits some very unusual
electromagnetic pulses, very specifically targeted, as
you'll see.
Garth, take it home and swap it with the one your dog has.
Um, what's his name, Hacksaw.
-Chainsaw, and no way.
He loves his kennel.
He can't sleep in that.
-Garth, its temporary.
Just pick it up.
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): What about a love song?
You could record your own CD.
I could do backup.
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): Verity, I've got it all worked out.
Toby wants to be with me.
He just won't admit it.
But now, he's gonna come running.
-[grunts].
Red team to red leader, we are in position, over.
-Just switch it on.
GARTH (ON PHONE): Roger that.
Locked and loaded.
-The eagle has landed.
Repeat, the eagle has landed, over.
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): What's that?
-Not what, who.
It's Toby.
We're seeing his heat signature so I
know where he is.
And this will monitor his brain activity.
[blast and beeping]
-Got him.
-Yes.
-Whoa.
-What's up?
-You OK?
You don't look so good.
-Yeah, I was on the beach with Nicki, then--
I don't know.
I feel a bit strange.
-Can we talk about this in a few minutes?
We're about to nail level 10.
-Hey, those were my bonus points.
-You snooze, you lose.
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): Oh, that's it.
I'm never playing with you again.
-You're just jealous because I get to be the ruler of the
monkey planet.
-Guys, stop it.
My head is throbbing.
SASHA (OFFSCREEN): Give it to me.
Russ, that's not fair.
-There.
[beeping]
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): But what's it doing?
-It's telling me Toby just tried to have an idea.
-Is it dangerous?
-But effective.
I've modified the synaptic pathways in his brain.
-But you like him, right?
-Yes, Verity, that's the point.
He'll come to me for help, and we can spend lots and lots of
time together trying to find a cure.
-What happened?
-You're seriously scaring us.
-My head feels weird.
-Well, maybe you're coming down with a cold.
-Or maybe you had too much sun and fried your brain.
-No, you don't understand.
This isn't normal.
It's like my whole brain shorted out.
I got a weird flash.
-You're always getting weird flashes.
-No, this time it was different.
I can't explain it.
It was like--
[blast]
-[screams].
-Toby!
Say something.
Are you all right?
-What's happening to me?
-Come on, fish.
It'll do you good.
-I'll pass.
-If you're feeling sick, you should drink a glass of milk.
It helps settle your stomach.
-Oh, and raw egg, with a touch of caramel to make it go down.
Trust me.
It works.
-Guys, please.
-Russ, I think he's going to, you know.
-What?
-You know.
-Huh?
Ah, you mean chuck, spew, barf.
Why didn't you say so?
-Russ, don't.
-There he goes again.
He's a busy little boy tonight, isn't he?
-Are you sure this is working?
-Yes.
-Well, he hasn't exactly come running in here.
-Verity, it's fine.
He's coming along nicely.
See?
-This isn't hurting him, is it?
-There won't be any permanent damage.
-He's getting worse.
Do something.
Russ!
-Toby?
(ALTERED VOICE) Are you OK?
You look weird.
-I'm calling a doctor.
-No, don't.
Sash, think about.
What can I say?
I'm a genius, but now I'm sick, and my
head's going berserk.
I mean how would I explain it?
-Food poisoning?
-I need to lie down.
-We have to watch him.
-Affirmative, but I'm due at a rehearsal
for my sister's wedding.
It's her fourth marriage, and if I don't--
-Whatever, just go.
I'll stay on the couch.
VERITY (OFFSCREEN): Looks like someone's looking after him.
It's probably Sasha.
You know, I'd love to be close to a cousin like that.
It's sweet.
-She's wasting her time.
There's nothing she can do.
-Well, it's getting late.
Why don't we finish this tomorrow.
-No, he hasn't called.
-He's probably sleeping.
You know, I'm tired too.
Why don't--
-Just go, Verity.
-[sighs].
-[groans].
-Toby?
Hey, are you all right?
Do you need a glass of water?
-Hmm, all alone now, Toby.
OK, one more time.
-[gasps].
[beeping]
-Perfect.
I just love it when everything goes to plan.
-Oh, my head.
I feel terrible.
-I hope you haven't caught this.
[phone ringing]
-Yeah?
-Toby, is that you?
-Elizabeth?
-I feel so strange, and when I try to get
ideas, it goes all wrong.
-Yeah, well, I thought it was just me.
ELIZABETH (ON PHONE): I don't know what to do.
I'm so afraid.
I feel so helpless.
-Yeah, me too.
-I'm so relieved I'm not in this alone.
There's only one thing we can do.
We have to meet.
-I don't know if that's such a good idea.
-Toby, we're both sick.
You're the only one I can talk to about this.
Believe me, I don't know what's happening.
I really need your help.
Please come over and we can fix this together.
-Right, look, I'll catch you at school.
-[shrieks].
[clears throat].
(WEAKLY) I just hope I can make it.
-Oh, where are you going?
-To meet Elizabeth.
-Are you insane?
-Sash, she's sick too.
I gotta find out what's going on, OK?
I'll see you later.
-I don't feel so good.
[dog barking]
-Shut up, Chainsaw.
[dog barking]
[heightened nature sounds]
-Weird.
[wings flapping and chirping]
-Oh, what's happening?
-Are you OK?
[barking]
-Chainsaw, be quiet.
-It's not his fault.
He doesn't like his kennel anymore.
-You want to run that by me again?
GARTH (OFFSCREEN): Chainsaw, bad boy.
Come on.
Come on, Chainsaw, come on.
[whimpering]
-Come on.
-He's sad, really ad.
I know what he's feeling.
How did I know that?
-Be careful.
You're cutting of the circulation to my bis.
-Chainsaw's ears were hurting, and I can hear him barking.
But now--
now, it's different, like it all makes sense.
Russ, I understood him.
Listen, hear that?
-No.
-Russ, do you know what this means?
-You've totally lost your mind?
-I can understand them, animals, bug, birds,
lizards, the lot.
-OK, ha ha, very funny.
-No, I'm serious.
You've got to believe me.
-You can understand animals?
-Yeah.
-Even those little bug things that like live on our skin?
-Well--
[high-pitched tone]
-Uh-huh.
-What are they saying?
-You taste like fish?
-Spooky, we had fish for dinner last night.
[meowing]
-OK, all we have to do is stay calm until we find Toby, and
then we can panic.
We haven't got time for this, Sash.
-Well, it was nice meeting you too.
[meowing]
-I had no idea.
Cats are very polite creatures.
-What was he saying?
-Huh?
-The cat, what were you talking about?
-I don't know.
It's not like that.
It's not like I hear words or anything.
I just get the feeling and understand.
-You know, this could be very, very cool.
-Um, I don't know.
It's kind of freaky.
Come on, let's find Toby.
-[groans].
Elizabeth?
-Toby?
-What happened?
-I don't know.
I must have passed out.
-Hey, come on.
You OK?
-Yeah.
-See you later.
-Toby?
-Nikki.
No, this isn't what it looks like.
Nikki, wait.
I can explain.
-Hey, Toby.
-We need to talk to you now.
-Later.
Nikki?
-[laughs].
-Hang on.
Check that out.
-[sighs].
-She's playing Toby along.
[bird noises]
-I wonder.
That could be cool
-What could be cool?
-OK, go for it.
-Go for what?
-This.
-[shrieks].
-It worked.
I can't believe it.
Thanks.
[bird noises]
-You mean--
and the seagull?
This is totally awesome.
You rock, man.
-Nikki, listen to me.
I was just trying to help.
Elizabeth's just sick, that's all.
So am I.
-Uh-huh.
-It's the truth.
-What exactly were you and Elizabeth doing?
-It was just getting her up off the ground.
No, wait.
That sounds bad.
-Yeah, it does.
-Please, Nikki, let me explain.
-Just forget the cover stores, OK, Toby?
It's obvious you and Elizabeth have something going on
together.
-Trust me, we don't have anything going on, honest.
Nikki, we're both just not feeling well.
-Yeah, well I hope you find a cure.
-Tobes.
-It's Elizabeth.
She's faking.
-That's it, Verity.
Talk.
-Excuse me?
-What are you up to?
-I'm just getting Elizabeth's books out of her locker.
I've got to hurry.
You know how cranky she gets.
-Are you OK?
-What's she done to me?
Verity, I need to know, please.
[bell ringing]
-[coughs].
-How do you think she's doing all this?
-I'm not sure.
She must have some kind of device.
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Why don't you just think something up
and stop it?
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): I can't get any ideas, Russ.
Whatever Elizabeth is doing, it's taken away my genius and
somehow given Sasha powers.
Sash?
[rat squeaking]
-[screams].
-How did you do that?
-I don't know what you're talking about.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to my next class.
-You're not going anywhere until you tell me how you
managed to control that rat.
-Same as the birds, I guess.
Let's just say, the more you keep hurting Toby, the more
I'll keep coming up with surprises of my own.
-Sasha's gonna pay for this.
Thinks she can blackmail me?
-But she's Toby's cousin.
-So?
-I thought you wanted to make him like you.
-Oh, he will, Verity.
-But he won't--
-But nothing.
I don't enjoy this, you know.
-Sure, I know.
[blast and beeping]
-[screams].
-Toby, are you all right?
-Yeah, I--
-She's doing it again.
We've got to do something.
-OK, leave it to me.
[hissing]
-That's the way.
Good.
Be good.
Up.
[hissing]
-Stupid Toby.
He had to do this the hard way.
[phone ringing]
-You've got one option, Elizabeth.
Stop it now.
-Sasha, please.
You're out of your league.
-OK, have it your way.
I'd look up if I were you.
[screams].
[screaming]
-Everybody, remain calm.
What a genius.
-Game over, Elizabeth.
-Where did those snakes come from?
-Sasha.
-What?
-We must have zapped her by mistake.
Now, she can talk to animals.
Garth, get rid of that kennel.
-But you just had me set it up.
-I don't care.
Get rid of It.
-What are you gonna do about Sasha?
-Nothing, the effect will wear off by tomorrow.
Ugh, this experiment has been a total disaster.
-Sure has.
I mean, really, a dog kennel?
As if that was ever gonna work.
(MEEKLY) Um, I'll go.
I'll go.
[bird noises]
-What are they saying?
-Nothing, it's worn off.
Well, guys, it was fun while it lasted.
-Hey, Nikki.
Listen, about yesterday.
I just wanted to say that--
-Hey, don't worry about it.
Russ explained everything.
-Uh, he did?
-Yeah.
So you're not feeling sick anymore?
-Oh, right, no.
Yeah, I'm fine now.
-No more nausea?
No more dizzy spells?
-What?
No, no.
-What about the weird rash?
-What rash?
Yeah, no, it's, um, it's gone.
-Look, I'll see you at school, OK?
-No worries.
-No, don't thank me.
Glad to help.
-I am so going to get you for that.
-Hey, you're back in her good book, right?
-You shouldn't have messed with me.
-Elizabeth, enjoy the snakes?
You better think twice next time you target Toby.
[gasps].
There's something on your shoulder.
-Get it off!
Get--
[laughter]
-Nice work.
