[Zeroman] Gangway! Excuse me.
Make a hole!
Man of zeal, coming through.
Oopsie! Mind your toes.
Pardon my wieners.
Don't squeeze the buns.
Wow, Zeroman, with all that food,
I bet you're stuck and have to stave off hunger
in some starving third world country, huh?
Uh, no, no, not exactly.
Or feeding the poor and the homeless
for some other noble super heroic cause, huh?
No, no. I just needed to pick up a few things.
Three cheers for Zeroman and his noble cause!
[Crowd] Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray!
Hooray for Zeroman!
I'm really kind of in a hurry.
I hope you don't mind pennies.
One cent, two cents, three cents, four.
You done a good job with the shopping, Son.
I'm borderline proud of ya.
Oh, thank you, Mother.
But I feel a little guilty.
We, we've got enough food here
to feed a starving third world country!
Or, or so I hear.
We are gonna be feeding a third world country, ya mook!
Otherwise known as the Mutton family.
Oh, is every Mutton coming?
Every Mutton except your cousin, handsome Harry Mutton.
Such a darling boy, and handsome, and successful.
If only you could be more like your cousin Harry.
Well, you know, Harry's far too big and important
to come to a silly reunion.
Harry's so busy he can't even pick up a phone.
[phone ringing]
[Harry] Great news, Auntie.
I can make it to the family reunion after all.
Yes! Harry's coming.
Normally my big, important job would've kept me away,
but I've got a bigger, importanter job now, in Fair City.
Harry's got a new job in Fair City.
You can stay right here with your favorite auntie.
Your cousin, Les, will clean out his room this morning.
[news channel music]
These surrounding weather systems are a result
of unusual activity in the chromosphere,
leading to an unexpected nocturnal inversion.
But right here in Fair City, it will be sunny and clear.
You can depend on it.
[laughing]
Yeah. So dependable.
And on behalf of everyone here at Channel 7,
I would like to thank Dependable Derby Dinkle
for 17 years of dull, but dependable weather forecastration.
It's all your retirement, old friend.
Retirement?
What do you mean retirement?
I'm not retiring.
This is ridiculous.
Preposterous! Unhand me!
Release me!
You'll rue the day you crossed Dependable Derby Dinkle!
You can depend on it!!
And now here's a fella
who doesn't know an aneroid barometer
from a backdoor thermometer,
but he's one good looking guy.
Your future favorite weatherman,
Handsome Harry Mutton.
[Gasp!]
Les, your cousin is the new Channel Seven weatherman,
but he's already my favorite weatherman.
I'm just wild about Harry!
Oooo!
[news channel music playing]
Ohhhh
♪ I'm just wild about Harry. ♪
For years, it's been nothing
but Handsome Harry this,
and Handsome Harry that.
And, "Why can't you be more like Handsome Harry?"
Ugh!
Well you two are kind of actually alike, you know?
Oh, right, I wish.
Handsome Harry is just so darn handsome,
and smart, and charming, and sophisti, phisticated,
and good with words.
And I'm, I'm nothing like him, Ty.
And now he's gonna be living in my town,
in my house, in my bedroom, wearing my pajamas?
Well, I don't have to stand for it.
Or take it sitting down.
And that's why I'm gonna handle this like a man,
the man of the house.
I'll show mother.
I'm running away from home.
Running away from home?
You're running away from home?
Good for you, Z-man.
That'll show her.
That's what I'd do
if I had a mother of a mother like yours.
And don't worry while you're gone,
cuz I'm pumped and ready to fill your shorts
as Fair City's resident crime kicker as
[beep]
O-Boy!
Cool it, Gary.
Zeroman's not running away.
He's 64 years old for God's sakes.
Not for three more weeks.
I can handle it.
Really? I can.
I'm ready.
O-Boy.
I know, I know.
Heroes never whine.
Now go to your room.
All right, fine.
But I'm breaking stuff on the way.
He's really a good little old boy.
[crashing and breaking sounds]
Oh, yeah, great kid.
But the point I'm trying to make here is
you can't run away from your problems.
Nobody's gonna treat you like an adult
until you stop acting like a baby.
Zounds. That's quite an insight, Ty.
I'll do it.
I'll stand up to that devilishly handsome cousin of mine.
I'll even stand up to Mother.
Leslie! Les Mutton!
I thought I told you to clean out your room!
LESLIE!!!
Urrrggggghhhh! Coming mother.
I'll be right out!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
All right!
I'll act like a man and go clean my stupid room
for my stupid cousin.
Stupid cousin, Harry.
That big, charming, stupid dumb head
for whom everything always works out!
Way to take it like a man there, Zeroman.
Good stuff.
[intense music playing]
For 17 years,
I created Fair City's famously fair weather
with my weather creating laboratory.
They think they could force me to retire?
And I did it just to be nice.
And it was really, really nice of you, too.
Well, no more Mr. Nice Dinkle.
From now on, I am a mad and evil genius,
henceforth to be referred to as
The Humidifier!
I'll just remove your glasses for you, Sir.
We wouldn't want people to recognize you, now would we?
No, we wouldn't.
Good thinking, Ms. Shapenform.
Now, if you will bring me my radar gloves.
[suspenseful music plays]
[metal doors sliding open]
[zapping]
A radar glove that gives me the power of weather control
in my fingertips!
With which I will destroy the credibility
of Channel 7's favorite new weather man,
Handsome Harry Mutton.
[zapping]
[explosion]
My word, how impressive.
I think someone is going rue the day they ever crossed you.
Oh they'll rue, they'll really rue.
You can depend on it.
[maniacal laughter]
[suspenseful music playing]
Oh my, I do enjoy a good laugh.
Now then, before we make Handsome Harry rue the day,
let's give the world a little demonstration
of my remarkable power, shall we?
[metal doors sliding open]
[Ms. Shapenform] Ooooweee!
Take that famous world landmarks!
[electrical noises]
[wood snapping and crashing]
[zapping noises]
[melting]
[whooshing]
[ominous music playing]
Saints, preserve us.
What a devastating display of power, Sir.
[maniacal laughter]
I'll bet the Fair City mini park will to close for a week.
More like two!
[maniacal laughter]
It's about time you got up,
your cousin's been up for hours.
That's right, Cousin.
You know the old saying:
The eager beaver catches the worm.
[smacking]
Ahhh!
What are you doing?
That bacon's for your cousin?
It's a list of errands I need you to run
for the family reunion.
I'd love to help out, Cousin,
but I'm having my teeth waxed this morning.
I have to look my handsomest for my new job.
Well that shouldn't be too hard.
Oh you.
[laughter]
[peppy music starts playing]
Well, I'm busy too.
I have a job, you know?
Your cousin works in television, Les.
He needs his bacon.
It's an essential public service.
More essential than the mail?
[loud laughter]
How come I have to do all the dumb, stupid running around?
[indistinct]
At least Sally offered the help out.
Sally, you say?
[doorbell rings]
I'll get it.
[crashing noises]
Ooof!
You must be Sally.
I'm Harry. Handsome Harry Mutton.
Oh, right.
You're the new weatherman.
I've always been fascinated with meteorology.
Well, I don't know much about asteroids,
but I do know that you, my dear,
must have fallen straight from heaven.
Hmm.
Sally! Hi!
[smooching sound]
Ahhhh
[laughter]
Yuck! Ugghhhh!
Uh, we have a lot to do today, so let's go, okay?
Bye, Cousin.
[Sally] It was nice meeting you.
This is so not fair.
How come I have to do all the dumb, stupid running around
and not Harry, huh?
It's his dumb, stupid reunion too.
Les, did you forget to change out of your pajamas?
They're, they're not pajamas,
they're... active wear.
Oh, because it seemed as if you were
in an awful rush to leave,
like you didn't want me talking to your cousin.
[laughing] What? Oh, don't be silly, Sally.
I mean, why would I, ughh...
You liked him didn't you?
He seemed charming enough.
Oh, he's charming all right,
I've heard it all my life.
"Why couldn't you be more like Harry?
Harry's just so darn charming and handsome and smart.
We're just wild about Harry."
Jeez. Sorry.
I didn't know this was such a sensitive area.
Ohhh, it's sensitive and touchy.
It's one of my most sensitive and touchy areas of all!
I, I just, hate that Handsome Harry!
Okay. But I don't see why.
If anything, you two are exactly alike.
Please stop the car.
[brakes squealing]
Sally, I think it's best if we split up now.
Here you go to do half of the to-do list,
and I'll go to do the other half of
the to-do things we need to do today.
Apart.
Whatever you like, Les.
But unless that means we're in for six more weeks of winter,
maybe you should button your pajamas first.
Oh, thank you.
And, they are active wear.
[jazzy music playing]
Aha! The time is at hand.
My moment to prove to Fair City
that they should have appreciated me a little more.
Handsome Harry is about to start his live report,
Mr. Humidifier.
It's not Mr. Humidifier,
it's The Humidifier.
Oh, sorry, Sir.
He's on!
Turning to the Channel 7 weather board,
it appears that Fair City is socked
by, um, these little floating thingies,
L's and H's, mostly.
And as you can see,
there are several of these squigglies here and here,
and what looks like upside down V's.
So don't forget your V screen.
I am ready, Ms. Shapenform.
Tell me when!
I really can't make sense of any of this,
but I'll tell you one thing,
it's a beautiful, sunny day,
and it's gonna stay that way,
because everything works out for Handsome Harry Mutton.
Now, The Humidifier! Now!
[zapping noises]
[ominous music]
Although we might experience some sudden darkness,
[wind whooshing]
followed by extremely c-c-c-cold temperatures,
[zapping noise]
and some localized lightning strikes,
because you know, weather can be so unpredictable.
Help, Mommy!
[screaming]
Now that I've totally destroyed
Handsome Harry's professional credibility,
I will wreak vengeance on the rest of Fair City!
[zapping]
Just the west, Sir? What about the East?
And the North, and the South?
Ohh! You mean the rest of Fair City.
Sorry.
[zapping noises]
[ominous music continues]
[wind whooshing]
For years, it's been nothing but
Handsome Harry this, and Handsome Harry that
Ahhhh.
[wind whooshing]
[exciting music begins playing]
[wind whooshing]
[banging]
[exciting music continues]
[metal clanging]
Thanks to the heroicalness of the Man of Zeal
the sudden weather related emergencies
caused very little property damage.
Now we are joined by Channel 7's brand new man of weather,
Handsome Harry Mutton.
Thank you, Billy.
I must apologize,
but when that unpredictable lightning struck earlier,
my contact lenses melted.
So if my fans don't mind,
I'll have to wear
these rather unfashionable reading glasses.
[suspenseful music begins]
Good gravy!
Handsome Harry Mutton
Is Zeroman!
I should've know!
Why couldn't you [smack] be Zeroman?
[screaming in agony]
[sneeze]
Boy, your super allergies really are acting up.
I've been tracking these strange weather disturbances.
They seem to be caused artificially.
Emanating from a power source somewhere in Fair City.
Meaning?
Meaning
we might just have a new, super villain on our hands.
And lately, seeing every place that's any place,
is Channel 7's own Handsome Harry Mutton.
And not only is Handsome Harry
a suave and handsome weather guy,
He's the Man of Zeal, to boot.
Another Channel 7 exclusive.
[zapping]
Oh dear. - If Handsome Harry is really Zeroman,
however, will we ever destroy him?
Even a hurricane couldn't blow the man down.
Precisely why I have created this, Ms. Shapenform.
My deadly fear-ometer,
which can precisely identify a person
sick with weather phobia.
Then all I have to do is create it,
and Handsome Harry Zeroman will run away
like a scared little girl.
[maniacal laughter]
[upbeat music playing]
Say hello to Red Mutton, Fred Mutton,
Moe Mutton, Chuck Mutton,
Stretch Mutton, Annie May Mutton,
and the double Bills,
Bill and Bill Mutton.
[in unison] Hi.
Yes, hi, my pleasure.
It's so nice to meet you, both.
Oh, I just can't wait for Harry to meet you, Sally.
He's so handsome, and smart, and charming,
and just so perfect for you.
And he's Zeroman.
I have met him, actually.
[gasp] There he is!
[squealing]
He's here! He's here!
[helicopter propellors whirring]
[upbeat music continues]
Handsome Harry.
We're just wild about Harry.
Woohoohoo.
Well, I'm not,
and I'm Zeroman, not him.
And I can't take it anymore, Ty.
I'm telling Sally.
Oh no, you won't.
You have a brewing crisis to avert.
Now focus!
And here, look at these buns.
The energy source is close and getting closer.
I think our new villain
is going to strike right here,
in Zeroman Park.
Which means you have to stay focused,
and be ready to act.
And show up Cousin Harry in front of everyone.
As the real Zeroman,
with O-Boy at his side.
No, but Gary and I will stay focused on our end.
Ready to spring into O-Boy action at a moment's notice.
Now, to keep this army of Mutton glutton's fed!
Now move it,
these burgers aren't gonna serve themselves, you know!
[laughter]
[car motor running]
I've got to fix on Handsome Harry.
[laughter]
Target locked!
And, firing!
[zapping]
According to the fear-ometer,
Handsome Harry's greatest weather-related fear is...
Rainbows?
A weatherman who's afraid of rainbows.
[laughing]
Make me a rainbow!
[laughing]
[gasp]
Look! What a beautiful...
Rainbow!
Rainbow.
[screaming]
Hey, Muttons, don't look now,
but I'm really gonna rain on your picnic!
[whooshing and screaming]
You can depend on it!
[people screaming]
Help!
Oh, where's Handsome Cousin Harry?
Only he can save us.
Where is Zeroman?
[suspenseful music playing]
Handsome Harry will save us!
I will say this once, and only once.
I am not Handsome Harry.
[sneeze]
I see you have conquered your fear of rainbows, Zeroman,
but it seems your allergies are really giving you grief.
[zapping]
[suspenseful music continues]
[wind whooshing]
[zapping]
[loud sneeze]
I'm dying.
It's my allergies.
I can't, ehhh,
I can't defeat him.
[loud sneeze]
Yes you can, and your allergies are the key.
An analysis of your snot-soaked handkerchief
has shown that you now have super mucus
with super adhesive powers.
Super mucus?
No, it's snot.
Yes, it is.
Trust me.
I can't believe I'm shouting this right now,
but you must fire your mucus, Zeroman.
It's our only hope.
[Dinkle] Making the hope for help won't help you now.
Prepare to be blown away, Handsome Harry Mutton!
[suspenseful music continues]
For the last time,
I am not...
[loud, forceful sneeze]
[squishing and splatting]
[intense music playing]
[upbeat music begins playing]
I'm stuck.
Unhand me!
Release me!
[struggling grunting noises]
I've got you, The Humidifier!
[grunting]
Hold on!
[grunting]
I will release you!
My fear-ometer! You fool!
[Indistinct] It looks like the glove are off.
[forceful, loud sneeze]
[laughing]
Oh, for God's sakes.
[crashing and clanging]
They're kind of getting away.
You see, we're away!
I told you you'd rue the day!
[zapping]
You can depend on it.
[groaning]
[crowd cheering]
Look, I told you before,
I'm nothing like Handsome Harry.
I am Zeroman, not Harry.
And I am me and he is he, see?
Is it gone?
Man, I hate rainbows.
Evil, threatening things they are.
So, Handsome Harry isn't Zeroman?
Well, there there Harry,
even though you're not Zeroman,
you're still handsome and still my favorite Mutton.
[hopeless sigh]
Smile everybody.
Only 10 seconds until we pop.
Where's Les?
Les! Get your stupid mug out here!
That was close.
What's that?
Oh, uhhh, this?
It, uh, I, I don't know, it's stuck.
Say 'Mutton' everybody.
[Crowd] Mutton!
