Double Thinking (Transcript)

This is the 46th episode of Video Squadron: Gamerman.

In the villain's ship, Gigalord was studying the past battles with the Gamermen. He and Dr. Squeak were looking over the archive footage from the previous battles.

Gigalord: Alright. So when we brought out our first monster, Polylord. That was just an upgraded polygore.

Dr. Squeak: And that one failed miserably.

Gigalord: How about Boxer Croxer? He was meant to beat up the Gamermen. But he was beaten instead.

Dr. Squeak: Don't forget about Barrel of Terror. He wasn't successful.

Gigalord: Trying to send out multiple monsters at once didn't seem to work.

Darktail: You're telling us. Remember when the Viramen came out? I had to do a lot of lightning strikes to make them grow giant. My tail was in such pain from so much striking lightning. Don't sent that many monsters out again please.

Gigalord: We may need to do that at some point if this next monster doesn't do so well.

Ninjakuma: So how can we be sure this monster doesn't fail us?

Dr. Squeak: Maybe I could make two monsters in one.

Ninjakuma & Darktail: Two monsters in one?

Darktail: How can you do that?

Dr. Squeak: By putting two heads on one body of course. How else?

Gigalord: Is having a two headed monster really a good idea, Squeak?

Dr. Squeak: Sure it is. Why wouldn't it be?

Gigalord: Alright. I'll slide with it.

Dr. Squeak: May take twice as long though. It can be a lot of work to put two minds into one model.

Gigalord: Oh my. Well, take as long as you need. It'll be worth it to have the Gamermen destroyed.

Dr. Squeak: Will do.

Dr. Squeak went to work. At the arcade, Randy and Headbot were playing ping pong with Kasumi and Felicia.

Randy: Alright, girls. Here comes the ball. (Throws the ball on the table and whacks it)

Kasumi: (Whacks it)

Headbot: (Whacks it)

Felicia: (Whacks it)

Randy: (Whacks it)

Kasumi: (Tries whacking it, but misses) Uh oh.

Randy: Randy and Headbot one,

Headbot: Felicia and Kasumi zero.

Kasumi: That's not what I mean. I mean look at where that ball is going.

The ball landed in an open heat grate.

Felicia: Uh, that heat grate doesn't go down all the way into the basement, does it?

Randy: Uh oh.

Down in the basement, Jeremy and Ruki were doing some work on their next robot when the ball came out of another heat grate that was open.

Ruki: Whoa. A ping pong ball.

Jeremy: Oh dear.

The ball bounced all around the lab, knocking things off the table like lamps, drinks, and glasses.

Jeremy: Uh, did I leave this grate open? (Looks at it) Oh dear. I did.

Ruki: What about the grate up stairs?

Jeremy: Oh dear. Did I leave it open up there, too?

Randy, Headbot, Kasumi, and Felicia's Voices Through the Grate: You did.

Jeremy: Oh no. It looks like I have a mess to clean up.

Jeremy managed to get all the things they fell off the table set back up onto their tables. It took him a little while to do it.

Jeremy: I can't believe I forgot to close these grates after I finished cleaning them. I thought I'd remember to close at least one.

Kasumi: We probably should have closed that grate when we saw it was open.

Felicia: But we saw it open after the ball went in.

Randy: We should be thankful we didn't lose the battle entirely.

Jeremy: Well, not entirely. (Picks up the ball to show half of it was dissolved)

Headbot: Oh dear.

Jeremy: It landed in the acid glass. It made the plastic dissolve.

Kasumi: How did you get it out without getting hurt?

Jeremy: It dissolves plastic, not flesh.

Kasumi: Oh.

Randy: Don't worry about it, guys. I've got plenty of ping pong balls. Uncle Jack knew that we'd lose them. In fact, we've lost a few before for one reason or another. One time, one went out of the arcade and we chased it up until it fell down a drain pipe.

Headbot: Another time was when an elephant boy came in and stepped on it.

Kasumi: Why did he step on it?

Headbot: He didn't see it until too late.

Kasumi: Oh.

Randy: But we have plenty more. So why don't we get another ball and play again?

Felicia: I think I'll pass on that one.

Kasumi: Me, too.

Randy: Oh.

Headbot: Maybe Ash and William would like to play with us, Randy.

Randy: Sounds like a good idea. Let's go ask them.

Later on, Ash and William did agree to play ping pong against Randy and Headbot.

Randy: It was nice if you guys to be playing this game with us after the girls didn't want to because of what happened in the last game.

William: Well, there shouldn't be any issues this time.

Ash: Especially since we moved the ping pong table into a room where there can't be any more problems. Like open grates.

Headbot: Shall we begin our game then?

Randy: You bet you.

Randy threw the ping pong ball and hit it with his paddle. William then hit it back, then Headbot, then Ash, then Randy again. Over in the villain's ship, Dr. Squeak managed to finish his new monster.

Dr. Squeak: Alright. The new monster is complete.

Gigalord: I'm not sure if a monster with two heads will work.

Brack: Hey, two heads are better than one.

Bricky: We can take down the Gamermen with our teamwork.

Brack: We are very capable of it.

Darktail: Enlarging you won't be any trouble will it?

Dr. Squeak: It'll be the same as enlarging any old monster. So no worries.

Ninjakuma: Even if he, I mean they don't even need to grow giant.

Gigalord: We'll just have to see about that. Just try not to fail us, birdbrains.

Down at the arcade, Kasumi and Felicia decided to do a remote controlled car race. They had set up a little race track. Kasumi was driving a small blue race car while Felicia was driving a yellow truck. They had gotten their cars all set up on the race track.

Felicia: Ready for this race?

Kasumi: You bet I am.

They had just gotten their remotes in their hands when they got a call from Vix.

Vix: Gamermen, this is pretty bad. Head to the lab quickly.

Kasumi: Looks like our car race will have to be put on hold at the moment.

Felicia: Yeah. It's a shame since we had just gotten set up.

Kasumi: Maybe we could ask the guys to race with us when we've won the battle.

Felicia: That sounds like a good idea.

So the Gamermen headed to the lab. Even Jeremy and Ruki came in.

Randy: What is the trouble, Vix?

Vix: We've got double trouble this time, guys.

Ash: Double trouble? Are we facing off against two monsters?

William: It shouldn't be a problem since we fought four previously defeated monsters a couple of days ago.

Vix: Yeah, but you already beat those monsters before, and you had extra help. But that extra help isn't here now. Anyway, it's not exactly two monsters, but it's sort of a they monster.

Headbot: They monster?

Vix: I'll show you. (Shows the screen of Brack and Bricky) This here is Brack and Bricky. They are a two headed parrot monster.

Headbot: Oh, so that's what you meant by a they monster.

Vix: You should watch out for this monster. They can be pretty tricky to beat since they've got two heads on one body. So it's a monster that is twice as smart.

Randy: We'll be aware of that, Vix.

Jack: Be careful, Randy.

Randy: We will, Uncle Jack. Install Fighter.

William: Install Music.

Kasumi: Install Racing.

Ash: Install Jet Pilot.

Felicia: Install Fantasy.

Jeremy: (Spells Gamer) Install.

Ruki: Install Delta.

(They transformed into their ranger forms and headed out)

Headbot: Randy and I were doing pretty good with our ping pong game, but when you called, Randy was about to hit the ball, but the ringing scared him and he missed. William and Ash won the game because of it.

Vix: Oh well. This is an emergency anyway.

Jack: You can't wait when there is an emergency, you know.

Headbot: Well, I feel a bit bored and feel like another game of ping pong. Would either of you like to play against me?

Jack: I'm a little busy, Headbot.

Vix: And I have to observe the Gamermen's battle against this monster so that if they need my help, I can help them.

Headbot: Well, I guess there is somebody else I could ask.

(Cuts to Headbot with Jake and Justin at the ping pong table)

Headbot: I can't believe I asked these two to play with me.

Jake: Prepare to be clobbered.

Justin: He means lose.

Headbot: (Throws the ball and whacks it)

Jake: Perhaps while we're playing. (Hits the ball) We maybe able to think up an idea on who the Gamermen are.

Justin: Maybe, Jake. (Hits the ball)

Headbot: (rolled eyes)

Out in the park, the Gamermen came across Brack and Bricky.

Brack: Looky here, Bricky. It's the Gamermen.

Bricky: How much funny it will be to peak at you all until there's nothing left to peak.

Randy: I don't think so.

Kasumi: Plus, I'm a cat. Do the birdies want to peak at a cat.

Ash: Kasumi, I'm a bird, too and I'm not scared of you.

Kasumi: Oh.

Brack and Bricky then flew towards them and started attacking the Gamermen with their wings.

William: Ooh!

Ash: AH!

Felicia: Ah!

Jeremy: Oh!

Ruki: Ouch!

Kasumi: Ah!

Randy: Oof!

Kasumi: This bird is really tough. Not even I can beat him-I mean them.

Ash: Neither can I.

Brack: Now to attack you all with our birdseed.

Both heads then opened their mouths and out came some birdseed at the Gamermen. The birdseed hurt the Gamermen.

Randy: Ah! So much birdseed. I can't see a thing.

Ash: I love birdseed, but this is too much.

Soon, the Gamermen got covered in hills of birdseed.

Bricky: That was real easy, Brack.

Brack: Sure was, Bricky.

Bricky: Let's go back to the ship and let Gigalord congratulated.

Brack: Indeed.

Then, they disappeared. As soon as they left, Kasumi managed to get out of the birdseed. She dusted the birdseed off her body.

Kasumi: Oh dear. They got away.

She dusts the birdseed off her friends until all the birdseed had fallen off.

Randy: Oh, thanks, Kasumi.

Ash: How were you able to get out of the birdseed on your own?

Kasumi: (shrug) Anyway, Brack and Bricky got away. I think they think they've defeated us.

Felicia: I bet they'll eventually figure out that they haven't.

Jeremy: And they'll then be back.

Ruki: So what should we do then?

William: If they have two heads, they'll probably have twice as many ideas to get rid of us.

Randy: So I think we'll just have to outsmart them.

Felicia: How can we do that?

Randy: Well, I've seen cartoons where characters how two heads, and most of the time, the heads cannot get along with each other. So all we gotta do is give Brack and Bricky to have an argument with one another, and then we should be able to defeat them.

Kasumi: But what thing would they argue over.

Randy: Let's head back to the base and discuss it.

Back at the arcade, Jake and Justin tossed the ball to Headbot, and he missed.

Headbot: Aww.

Jake: Yeah.

Justin: We win again.

Headbot: That's the 37th time in a row that you guys won.

Jake: I guess we're better since it's two against one.

Headbot: Man, I want Randy back.

Justin: What can he do?

Headbot: Maybe help me beat you guys.

Jake: Yeah. Sure.

Headbot: -\_- I think I'm done playing with you guys. (Leaves)

Justin: Ah. Who needs him. Let's just play one on one. (Goes over to the other end of the table) You ready?

Jake: I'm ready. Ready to win that is.

Justin: Oh, we'll see about that.

They began playing their game. Headbot was going through the arcade when he saw the Gamermen (All demorphed) already back.

Headbot: You're back already? Can we play a game now?

Randy: We're not back because we defeated the monster.

William: Which we didn't.

Ash: We're back to discuss how to defeat the monster.

Headbot: Aww. Oh well. May as well play a one person game. (Walks over to an arcade console)

Felicia: I guess he hasn't been able to find anyone to play ping pong with I guess?

Randy: I guess I owe him extra time this evening.

William: I suppose we all do.

Ash: Especially since we won the last game and I bet you two will want a rematch.

Randy: It'll be good. But it's just a game. But I'm in for another game later anyway. Let's see if Vix and Uncle Jack have ideas on what we could do to make this monster argue with himself. Or themselves. I'm so confused by this monster.

In the lab, the Gamermen were talking with Vix and Jack about their ideas.

Jack: I find this to be a great idea, Randy. I see those old cartoons have ready taught you a lot, haven't they.

Randy: I suppose so.

Kasumi: So what shall we use to make them argue with one another?

Felicia: Well, how about we think of times we've argued with our siblings?

Randy: Uh, one thing. I'm an only child.

Jack: What about Headbot?

Randy: Headbot's a robot, Uncle Jack. Even so, you made him, so he's more of a cousin than a brother.

Jack: Can we use him as an example for you anyway?

Randy: Fine.

William: So what are some times you and Headbot had arguments, Randy?

Randy: Well, I think there was the time when I was 10 that he and I were deciding on what movie to go to.

(Cuts to a flashback to a ten-year-old Randy with Headbot in front of the movie theater)

Randy: Headbot, I want to see the dinosaur movie.

Headbot: But I want to see the robot movie.

Randy: Dinosaurs!

Headbot: Robots!

Randy: Dinosaurs!

Headbot: Robots!

(Cuts to the present day)

Jack: Alright. So you argued over what movie to go see.

Randy: But in the end, we just decided to watch each movie on our own.

Kasumi: And of course Brack and Bricky won't be able to do that because they're stuck together.

Randy: But do you think they'd be interested in seeing a movie?

Kasumi: Probably not.

Felicia: What about you, Kasumi? Did you ever have an argument with your brother?

Kasumi: Yeah. It was a time back when we lived in Japan.

(Cuts to a flashback of Kasumi and her brother)

Kasumi's Brother:  Imōto, watashi wa kishi to ryū o purei shitai.

Kasumi: Shikashi, watashi wa onara to ōjo o enjitai.

(Cuts to present)

William: Wait, we're going to hear the whole story in Japanese?

Kasumi: Oh sorry. I'll translate.

(Back to flashback)

Kasumi's Brother: Sister, I want to play knights and dragons.

Kasumi: But I want to play ponies and princesses.

(Present day)

Felicia: He called you sister?

Kasumi: In Japan, younger siblings identify their older brothers and sisters by brother or sister, depending on which it is.

William: Oh. Even I didn't know that.

Kasumi: Can I continue?

William: What's stopping you?

Kasumi: Anyway. My brother and I argued for quite a while. In the end, we just decided to merge our ideas together.

Felicia: I wonder if he's watching that pony show now. Lot's of guys are doing so since the show came out.

Randy: I know Headbot has been watching it.

Vix: Now what about arguments you had with your brother, Felicia?

Felicia: My brother and I didn't argue very often, but there was the time we argued over who would get the last apple in the kitchen.

(Cuts to a flashback to Felicia and her brother, Felix in their kitchen)

Felix: Felicia, I think I should get the last able. After all, I am older.

Felicia: But you've been eating more apples than me.

Felix: Only because you don't eat them very often. Besides, the apples will go to waste if there's no one eating them.

Felicia: But I am in the mood for an apple today.

Felix: So am I.

Felicia VO: We even asked our dad to go to the grocery story to buy some more apples, but he was too busy to.

Kasumi VO: So what did you do?

Felicia VO: Felix and I decided to cut the apple in half. It still would have been good to get a whole apple, but it was either half for each, or one for one and none for the other.

(Cuts to the present)

Ash: That was a good compromise. Now how about I tell you the story about an argument my sister and I were in?

(Cuts to a flashback to Ash and his little sister)

Ash: For your flying lesson today, we'll be flying 20 feet in the air.

Ash's Sister: But I'm scared of flying that high. Let's just have it be 10 feet.

Ash: But you need to learn how to fly, you need to fly higher than you could before.

Ash's Sister: But I'm not ready to fly 20 feet in the air. It's too high.

(Cuts to the present)

William: How did you settle the argument?

Ash: I just agreed to fly closer to the ground for her comfort.

William: Then you were a good big brother, Ash.

Randy: And how about you, William?

William: Well, there was a time that my brother and I argued over where we would have our lunch. He wanted to go to Pizza House while I want to go to Chicken Palace.

Jack: OK, so what shall we do to make the two heads of this bird argue?

Jeremy: Why don't we do some of everything.

Kasumi: I think we'll go with the food thing like with William's situation.

William: I guess that's a good idea. Let's do it.

Felicia: I'll go and buy an apple.

In the villains ship, Gigalord had informed Brack and Bricky that the Gamermen weren't defeated.

Gigalord: You really thought that the birdseed had taken care of them for good? You're foolish.

Brack: We're sorry, master.

Bricky: We'll tried harder next time.

Brack: This time, we'll bury them in twice as much birdseed.

Gigalord: No! No more birdseed. It doesn't matter how much birdseed you give them. They'll just get away again.

Brack: Fine, we won't use birdseed again.

Bricky: Let's go.

Brack and Bricky arrived back on Earth to search for the Gamermen.

Brack: Those Gamermen must be around here somewhere.

Bricky: But where exactly?

Then, they noticed an apple on a table in the park. They ran over to it.

Brack: Oh look. A delicious looking apple.

Bricky: Well this running around has made me hungry.

Brack: Me, too. (Proceeds to eating the apple)

Bricky: No. I want it. (Yanks it away)

Brack: No. I want it. (Yanks it away)

Bricky: No. Me.

Brack: No. Me.

(They continue arguing)

The Gamermen were hiding behind some bushes, watching Brack and Bricky argue.

Randy: I think now is our change.

The Gamermen hurried out with the Gamernator.

Randy: Ready.

All: Fire! (They blasts at Brack and Bricky)

Both: AAAAH!

Brack: That smarts.

Bricky: I'll say.

Kasumi: Goes to show what you can learn from your childhood experiences.

Up in the ship, the villains saw the action going on.

Darktail: Looks to me like I need to give these birds a boost. (Disappears and reappears in the park) Alright. Now to give you one big bird. (Strikes lightning at Brack and Bricky, making them giant)

Brack: Brawk. Now who's the tall one?

Bricky: It's us!

Randy: Time to call for the Gamer Mechs. Gamer Master.

Jeremy: Gamer Ship Fighter.

Ruki: Delta Gamer Robo.

The three robots were then assembled and were at set for Brack and Bricky. Brack and Bricky jumped and hit the robots. Then they proceeded to battling the three robots. They fired feathers at Gamer Master.

Gamer Master: (Gets it)

Gamermen: AAAH!

Ruki: Looks like you need a few blasts of your own.

Delta Gamer Robo: (Fires blasts at Brack and Bricky)

Brack and Bricky: AAAAH!

Ruki: There. That got him. Uh, them.

Jeremy: Now it's my turn.

Gamer Ship Master then fought against Brack and Bricky. Although they was very powerful in comparison.

Jeremy: Oh man.

Randy: They don't stand a chance since it's three against two. Let's call for the Gamer Sword.

The Gamer Sword then appeared in Gamer Master's hand and began making hits at Brack and Bricky.

Brack and Bricky: AAAH! That hurts.

William: Soon it'll become the last thing you feel.

Randy: Gamer Sword Slash!

Gamer Master then slashed at Brack and Bricky and finished them off.

Brack and Bricky: AAAAH! (Falls and explodes)

Kasumi: That two headed bird just turned into two headed nuggets.

Felicia: Well, not quite. There's nothing left.

Ash: But anyway, they're finished with.

Randy: Now let's go and do our ping pong ball rematch, guys.

William: Yeah. I think another game would be great.

Felicia: I think we're in the mood for another game. Maybe we could play with three players per team.

Later at the arcade, Jake and Justin were still playing ping pong. Jake had just beaten Justin again.

Jake: That's another win for me.

Justin: Gees. That's the 42nd time in a row. That robot was lucky. I think I'm through with this game.

Then, the Gamermen and Headbot showed up.

Randy: Then in that case, we're ready for a game ourselves.

Jake: Alright. We're leaving.

Justin: Yeah. I'm getting bored of this game.

And the two of them left. Then Headbot and the Gamermen got all ready for the game. The two teams were Randy, William, and Kasumi on one end, and Headbot, Ash, and Felicia on the other end.

Randy: Alright, guys. Everybody all set up?

Felicia: I'm all set up.

Headbot: So am I.

Ash: Now remember. We need to do this game with teamwork. Not that we ever didn't before.

Kasumi: Shame that two headed bird never learned team work.

William: Well, not since we gave them something to fight over. Anyway.

The game then started. Jake and Justin walked out of the arcade.

Jake: Although I enjoyed winning a lot, that made the game not as fun.

Justin: At least that bucket of bolts doesn't need to worry about losing now.

Jake: Well, not as much as he did when he was playing against us.

Justin: True.

And the two of them went off. Up in the villain's ship, Gigalord couldn't believe the defeat of the latest monster.

Gigalord: Two heads are better than one? Not when they argue with each other.

Dr. Squeak: Sorry. They were programed to argue with one another when they encounter one type of food.

Darktail: At least I didn't need to strike too much lightning this time.

Dr. Squeak: Would you like for me to try and give you extra lightning into your tail, Darktail?

Darktail: No thanks. I don't like too much lightning in my tail, thank you very much.

Ninjakuma: What about when you retracted lightning?

Darktail: That's just getting back the lightning I released, Ninjakuma.

Ninjakuma: Alright.

Gigalord: Squeak, no more monsters that have two minds, OK?

Dr. Squeak: Fine. From now on, I'll make one headed monsters.

Gigalord: And of course, don't make any monsters with no heads either.

Dr. Squeak: Why would I want to do that? That's a really stupid sounding monster.

Darktail: What if it still had a brain?

Ninjakuma: Where would his brain be, then?

Darktail: (shrug)

To be continued...
