[Casey Dupree]

There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They fell through a portal and got lost in the 80s, and now their time is running out.

[Adam]

It's been a long since I faced down a wit.

[Cyrus]

Kid.

[Casey Dupree]

Pen, get out of here.

[Pen]

Not a chance. We're in this together.

[Casey Dupree]

It's not safe for you together. Casey, that's a very nice sentiment, but the beach is a dangerous place. You know, things can wash up.

[Pen]

You found the bassinet?

[Casey Dupree]

Oh, don't say it out loud.

[Adam]

Should have warned your little pal that I have crazy good hearing. So, baby, battery, bassinet, all in one place. You have made my job much easier.

[Casey Dupree]

I don't know. Still seems pretty hard to me.

[Pen]

Yeah, especially since there's two of us and one of you.

[Cyrus]

You missed.

[Adam]

I knew you were gonna bring the supercharged Zappy Zaps. And as we know, all that juice is not great for the old hard drive. Fry.

[Host/Announcer]

Em.

[Pen]

Casey.

[Casey Dupree]

Working on it.

[Adam]

Missed again. But never let it be said that I don't learn my lessons. It's awfully helpful to have the backing of my new friends at the Whittier Corporation.

[Casey Dupree]

What is that?

[Dr. Whittier]

Hoverboards.

[Adam]

We've been working on some prototyp Coming in for a landing.

[Cyrus]

Me too.

[Adam]

I'm coming in for a landing too.

[Casey Dupree]

What?

[Adam]

Slap the gloves on our hands, boys.

[Host/Announcer]

Boys.

[Adam]

Yes, sir. Adam. Got it, boss.

[Host/Announcer]

What?

[Casey Dupree]

Two more. Adams. No. Get off of me.

[Adam]

There's three of you. My brothers here aren't very smart yet, but we're working on it. They do take direction well. And now it's three on two. I like these odds a lot better. I said something funny.

[Casey Dupree]

Cuz that's not creepy.

[Dr. Whittier]

I imagine you slept well last night, Cyrus.

[Cyrus]

It was definitely an upgrade from the nursery.

[Dr. Whittier]

You could have avoided the nursery altogether had you just agreed to work with me from the start.

[Cyrus]

Here we are, the R D lab.

[Dr. Whittier]

Excuse me?

[Cyrus]

Research and development.

[Dr. Whittier]

Oh, yes. We refer to it as the Think Tank. But it's clear you know your way around here.

[Cyrus]

My family has a connection to the place.

[Dr. Whittier]

Is that so? Perhaps someone is already on staff.

[Cyrus]

No, my mom is a tween right now.

[Dr. Whittier]

It seems language has changed some in the future. I'm not familiar with this word. Tween.

[Cyrus]

Anyway, she's too young to be working here.

[Dr. Whittier]

Well, I look forward to meeting her one day soon. Here we are. This is where the magic happens.

[Cyrus]

The lab actually looks pretty similar to what I remember.

[Angel]

Hi, Cyrus. Hi, Dr. Whittier.

[Dr. Whittier]

Hello, angel. I didn't realize you were in here. Cyrus is ready to help out with my time travel experiment.

[Cyrus]

What exactly do you want me to.

[Dr. Whittier]

Ooh.

[Cyrus]

What is that?

[Dr. Whittier]

Not what. Who.

[Casey Dupree]

Hello again, Cyrus. Anders.

[Cyrus]

Ivan.

[Angel]

What's the matter, Cyrus? Don't you have seven foot tall robots in the future?

[Cyrus]

It's. It's not something you see every day.

[Dr. Whittier]

No, this marvel standing before you is none other than my interactive visionary assistant neurocomputer.

[Cyrus]

Ivan has a body, does he?

[Dr. Whittier]

Not?

[Cyrus]

In your time, I guess you'd say Whittier Corp. Tower is his body.

[Dr. Whittier]

Fascinating. Show him how you work, Ivan.

[Casey Dupree]

Commencing initialization.

[Cyrus]

Wow, this is a trip.

[Dr. Whittier]

We have more inventions that might interest you. This one is just a prototype, but I was inspired to create it after watching, well, a time travel movie with Adelaide.

[Cyrus]

That's Hovi.

[Dr. Whittier]

Is that some kind of slang for hoverboard?

[Cyrus]

More like a name. Hey, buddy.

[Angel]

Buddy.

[Cyrus]

I gotta admit, seeing the origin of these inventions is pretty cool.

[Dr. Whittier]

I'm so pleased this is all exciting to you.

[Casey Dupree]

Dr. Whittier, you are needed in your office. The matter is urgent.

[Dr. Whittier]

Thank you, Ivan. Angel, would you please fill Cyrus in on Florida while I'm gone?

[Angel]

Yeah, sure.

[Adam]

Florida?

[Cyrus]

As in where we met?

[Angel]

Yep. It's where your work will be focused. But don't worry. You're not leaving Juno. At least not right away.

[Cyrus]

What is it he wants me to work on exactly?

[Angel]

Dr. Whittier believes the secret to time travel lies in electromagnetic waves. There are pockets of intense electromagnetic activity happening naturally all over the planet. But the strongest one in this hemisphere is off the coast of Florida.

[Cyrus]

Elixir Key.

[Angel]

You know about Elixir Key?

[Cyrus]

Yeah. What do you know about it?

[Angel]

Um, well, for starters, Whittier Court built it.

[Adam]

Come here.

[Angel]

Come on.

[Casey Dupree]

Hey, Thing One and Thing Two, take these gloves off. I want to shake your hands.

[Adam]

Nice try, Case, but they only answer to me. We answer only to Adam. Yeah, we answer only to Adam.

[Casey Dupree]

Great conversationalists.

[Adam]

So here's how this is gonna go. Casey will ride with Adam, too. Adam 3 will carry a bassinet. Pen, you'll come with me.

[Casey Dupree]

Pen, you can still run or just.

[Pen]

It's okay, Casey. We tried. But I know when we're beaten.

[Adam]

Smart kid. Come here.

[Cyrus]

And don't look so plump.

[Adam]

Jude's gonna be very grateful. He'll be well taken care of at Whittier Court. Shall we?

[Pen]

Yeah, sure.

[Cyrus]

Come on.

[Adam]

Casey Dupree.

[Casey Dupree]

Just when I thought you couldn't be more annoying.

[Adam]

Me.

[Casey Dupree]

All three of you.

[Pen]

Okay, Adam, let's go.

[Cyrus]

The door.

[Pen]

It opens. It closes. The door, it opens. It closes.

[Adam]

What is that?

[Dr. Whittier]

The door.

[Pen]

Stop. It opens, it closes.

[Cyrus]

What are you.

[Dr. Whittier]

No.

[Host/Announcer]

Pen.

[Pen]

Sorry, Adam, but it's time for you to take a trip.

[Cyrus]

Where does that portal go?

[Pen]

Only the portal knows.

[Adam]

Hey, stop pushing.

[Host/Announcer]

Hey. Ah. Ah.

[Casey Dupree]

Pen, come get these gloves off me here.

[Pen]

Gloves off?

[Casey Dupree]

Yes.

[Adam]

Adam three, where'd the boss go? I don't know.

[Cyrus]

Adam two. He's gone.

[Casey Dupree]

Sorry. Adam two, this is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me. Hey.

[Adam]

Don't.

[Cyrus]

He did it.

[Adam]

I'm getting out of here.

[Casey Dupree]

Pen, where did the regal Adam go?

[Pen]

I don't know. He could be anywhere.

[Casey Dupree]

It's a cool 55 degrees here in Clyne Hollow, New Jersey, with someone's bedroom.

[Adam]

Does that poster on the wall say I'm quarantining with.

[Angel]

What are you doing in my room?

[Cyrus]

Your room?

[Adam]

Who are you?

[Casey Dupree]

I'm Remy, and you're interrupting my life.

[Host/Announcer]

[Casey Dupree]

Shh. It's starting.
