1
00:00:11,595 --> 00:00:14,845
The pages are blank. Do you think
new characters have been released?

2
00:00:14,932 --> 00:00:17,892
But the magic paintbrush
literally just went back into its book.

3
00:00:17,976 --> 00:00:20,476
Couldn't just give us a quiet night off,
could you, Ghost Writer?

4
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:22,441
The cover art is cool.

5
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:27,946
Looks old. Definitely not a new book.

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,400
Who's the author?

7
00:00:31,949 --> 00:00:33,529
There's no author on here.

8
00:00:33,992 --> 00:00:35,332
That's a first.

9
00:00:35,869 --> 00:00:38,539
How exactly are we supposed to figure out
who was in the book

10
00:00:38,622 --> 00:00:40,332
if we can't even find the book?

11
00:00:41,083 --> 00:00:43,593
This is gonna be interesting.

12
00:01:02,646 --> 00:01:04,266
Who wants to buy some chocolate?

13
00:01:04,690 --> 00:01:06,780
How is that gonna help
you become class president?

14
00:01:06,859 --> 00:01:10,279
It won't. But it will help me pay for
my Model UN class trip to New York City.

15
00:01:10,362 --> 00:01:12,032
Shouldn't you be focusing on the election?

16
00:01:12,114 --> 00:01:14,994
Yes, I should. So buy a bar
and I'll have more time for it.

17
00:01:19,246 --> 00:01:20,866
Hey. There you are.

18
00:01:20,956 --> 00:01:22,116
Hi, everyone.

19
00:01:22,207 --> 00:01:24,457
I was gonna drop this off
at the office for you.

20
00:01:24,543 --> 00:01:27,133
You're lucky I got your text
before I left home.

21
00:01:27,713 --> 00:01:29,383
Thanks, Mom. You're a lifesaver.

22
00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:32,508
Amy Reyna?

23
00:01:33,385 --> 00:01:35,135
Oh, my God.

24
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:36,430
Is that you?

25
00:01:36,513 --> 00:01:39,313
Wow, what a surprise.
It's so good to see you.

26
00:01:39,391 --> 00:01:40,851
You two know each other?

27
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:42,444
Yeah, we went to high school together

28
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,309
-and middle school and elementary school.
-Yeah. Yes.

29
00:01:45,397 --> 00:01:47,607
Back when you rode a dinosaur
to school instead of the bus.

30
00:01:47,691 --> 00:01:50,571
Okay. Very funny. Still funny.

31
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,992
I can't believe it.
You look exactly the same.

32
00:01:53,488 --> 00:01:55,118
Except your hair isn't blue anymore.

33
00:01:55,199 --> 00:01:57,279
You had blue hair, Miss Reyna?

34
00:01:57,784 --> 00:01:59,204
-Weird.
-Cool.

35
00:01:59,286 --> 00:02:00,326
I know, right?

36
00:02:01,580 --> 00:02:03,120
We should probably get to class.

37
00:02:03,207 --> 00:02:05,377
Right.
Me too, since I'm the one teaching it.

38
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,789
Wow, this is wild.

39
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,627
I can't believe
I didn't put two and two together

40
00:02:08,711 --> 00:02:10,381
when I saw Ruben had a teacher
named Mr. Saunders.

41
00:02:10,464 --> 00:02:12,594
Same here. What a small world.

42
00:02:13,050 --> 00:02:14,260
It's so great to see you, Gregg.

43
00:02:14,343 --> 00:02:15,973
-Gregg?
-Well, you too, Amy.

44
00:02:16,595 --> 00:02:17,595
Bye.

45
00:02:18,096 --> 00:02:19,096
Even without the blue hair.

46
00:02:23,227 --> 00:02:24,437
See you all in class.

47
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:29,902
I can't believe we just found out
Mr. Saunders' first name.

48
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:32,113
You didn't know his first name was Gregg?

49
00:02:32,194 --> 00:02:33,904
I know all of my teachers' first names.

50
00:02:33,987 --> 00:02:38,407
Speaking of, I gotta get to Debra's class.
She has zero tolerance for tardiness.

51
00:02:42,955 --> 00:02:44,495
Hey, sweetie. Whatcha doing?

52
00:02:44,581 --> 00:02:46,331
Sewing new sleeves onto my jacket.

53
00:02:46,416 --> 00:02:48,126
What was wrong with the original sleeves?

54
00:02:48,210 --> 00:02:51,550
I got bored with them.
These ones just have more pizzazz.

55
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:55,050
Well, when you get bored of doing that,
you wanna help me make banana bread?

56
00:02:56,426 --> 00:02:59,716
No thanks. I'd rather help out
with the finished product. Eating it.

57
00:02:59,805 --> 00:03:01,385
I'll let you lick the bowl.

58
00:03:01,473 --> 00:03:02,813
I stopped licking the bowl

59
00:03:02,891 --> 00:03:05,351
when I learned about the danger
of raw eggs in science class.

60
00:03:05,435 --> 00:03:09,015
Okay, no baking.
Come on, let's do something.

61
00:03:09,106 --> 00:03:12,026
I only get to see you
for like half the week now.

62
00:03:12,109 --> 00:03:13,649
We could play a game.

63
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:15,235
Or we could go for a walk.

64
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,530
We could get some Froyo instead
of banana bread. It's healthier anyway.

65
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,525
I'm sorry, Mom.
I just really wanna finish this.

66
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:21,827
I'll watch Paris Runway with you.

67
00:03:23,036 --> 00:03:24,496
I thought you didn't like that show.

68
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,118
It's okay.

69
00:03:26,206 --> 00:03:28,376
I just don't love how the snarky judges

70
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:31,628
critique the contestants' clothes
and make them cry.

71
00:03:31,712 --> 00:03:33,382
That happens in every episode.

72
00:03:35,257 --> 00:03:36,377
Be right there.

73
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:55,941
Looks good, Ruben.

74
00:03:56,445 --> 00:03:57,985
Grandpa, look at that cab.

75
00:03:59,781 --> 00:04:00,871
What cab?

76
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:06,873
It must've driven off. Never mind.

77
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:11,536
Okay, well, I got work to do.
I'm reorganizing the classics section.

78
00:04:25,891 --> 00:04:26,981
Hi.

79
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:28,851
Oh, hey, kid.

80
00:04:28,936 --> 00:04:31,186
I don't suppose you could lend a hand?
I gotta hit the road.

81
00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:34,151
Sure, I'm happy to help.
I'm Ruben, by the way.

82
00:04:34,525 --> 00:04:35,685
Name's Frank.

83
00:04:36,443 --> 00:04:38,453
Frank, before we do anything,

84
00:04:38,529 --> 00:04:40,909
we should probably get
your cab out of the street.

85
00:04:41,698 --> 00:04:43,408
Let me call a few friends to help.

86
00:04:53,377 --> 00:04:55,877
So, Frank-- Can I call you Frank?

87
00:04:55,963 --> 00:04:58,223
It's my name. What else you gonna call me?

88
00:04:58,298 --> 00:05:00,508
I don't know. Full name, nickname,

89
00:05:00,592 --> 00:05:03,102
CB radio handle
when you chat with other cabbies.

90
00:05:03,178 --> 00:05:04,468
I'd love to hear them all.

91
00:05:04,555 --> 00:05:05,555
Just Frank.

92
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:06,639
Great.

93
00:05:06,723 --> 00:05:09,603
Where were you traveling from today
when your cab broke down?

94
00:05:09,685 --> 00:05:10,885
You know, nowhere.

95
00:05:10,978 --> 00:05:14,478
Driving around town,
going wherever the fare takes me.

96
00:05:14,565 --> 00:05:15,765
That's helpful.

97
00:05:15,858 --> 00:05:20,108
You haven't happened to see
a cobalt mask recently, have you?

98
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:23,275
A what? Is that some sort of slang
the kids are using these days?

99
00:05:23,824 --> 00:05:28,164
Look, I'd love to sit around jabbering,
but I gotta get my whip back in order.

100
00:05:28,245 --> 00:05:32,115
Time is money
and I can't do my job without my cab.

101
00:05:32,457 --> 00:05:35,247
Maybe we can help you.
What year is your cab?

102
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:39,755
It's a 1952 Checker Standard.
Got it a few years ago, brand-new.

103
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:41,130
Brand-new?

104
00:05:41,216 --> 00:05:42,426
Yeah.

105
00:05:42,509 --> 00:05:45,759
That's why it's so puzzling
the darn thing won't start.

106
00:05:45,846 --> 00:05:47,506
All the parts should be in working order.

107
00:05:47,598 --> 00:05:50,558
Well, you can leave your cab here
until you get it fixed.

108
00:05:52,102 --> 00:05:54,612
No one's gonna touch it. Trust me.

109
00:05:58,358 --> 00:05:59,438
I don't get it.

110
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:01,776
We can't find a trace
of The Cobalt Mask anywhere.

111
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:03,662
And Frank had no idea
what we were talking about

112
00:06:03,739 --> 00:06:04,989
when we tried to ask him about it.

113
00:06:05,073 --> 00:06:07,663
Why would The Cobalt Mask be blank
if he's not from it?

114
00:06:08,035 --> 00:06:09,325
Good question.

115
00:06:09,411 --> 00:06:10,411
Okay.

116
00:06:10,495 --> 00:06:14,825
We do know Frank's clearly from the 1950s
since he said his cab's practically new.

117
00:06:14,917 --> 00:06:16,747
And he called me an ankle biter.

118
00:06:17,169 --> 00:06:18,339
That narrows it down

119
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,220
to him being from a book
written sometime between then and now.

120
00:06:21,298 --> 00:06:22,838
Which hardly helps us.

121
00:06:22,925 --> 00:06:24,675
We need to find out more about him.

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,430
He was wearing a wedding ring,
so we know he's married.

123
00:06:27,513 --> 00:06:29,813
But that doesn't exactly help us either.

124
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:32,770
Maybe Donna and I
can offer to help him fix his cab.

125
00:06:32,851 --> 00:06:34,561
How do you know how to fix cars?

126
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:38,225
My dad has a really old convertible
that he inherited from his parents.

127
00:06:38,315 --> 00:06:41,525
-It's cool but it never works.
-And he makes us help him work on it.

128
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:44,200
Perfect. That'll give you a chance
to get to know him better.

129
00:06:44,571 --> 00:06:45,911
-Well played.
-I know.

130
00:06:47,574 --> 00:06:48,914
I mean, thanks.

131
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:50,372
So, what should I do?

132
00:06:50,452 --> 00:06:53,542
Actually, I could use your help
filming my campaign speech after school.

133
00:06:54,581 --> 00:06:57,581
Ruben.
Just read your paper on the Pantheon.

134
00:06:58,210 --> 00:06:59,960
Would love to chat about it later.

135
00:07:00,045 --> 00:07:01,455
Great. Can't wait.

136
00:07:02,381 --> 00:07:04,341
What does he mean he'd "love to chat"?

137
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,014
Why would he wanna chat?
Did he like it? Did he hate it?

138
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:08,644
I guess you'll find out later.

139
00:07:09,179 --> 00:07:11,059
Really helpful, Donna. Thanks.

140
00:07:17,813 --> 00:07:19,273
Isn't your game after school?

141
00:07:19,356 --> 00:07:21,816
We just got our new uniforms
and I couldn't wait.

142
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,110
Aren't they cool?

143
00:07:23,193 --> 00:07:25,903
How did the basketball team
raise enough money for uniforms

144
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:29,158
when Model UN can barely sell enough
chocolate for one little out-of-town trip?

145
00:07:29,241 --> 00:07:30,241
I have no idea.

146
00:07:30,576 --> 00:07:32,616
Coach said we needed new ones
and we got them.

147
00:07:33,829 --> 00:07:36,959
So the school paid for them?
Are you kidding me? That's so unfair.

148
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,290
You guys aren't even good.

149
00:07:38,709 --> 00:07:40,709
Okay, that's hurtful.

150
00:07:41,211 --> 00:07:42,591
And a little uncalled for.

151
00:07:53,807 --> 00:07:55,887
So, Frank, where'd you grow up?

152
00:07:56,894 --> 00:07:58,064
All over, really.

153
00:07:58,145 --> 00:08:00,645
Better question is,
where didn't I grow up?

154
00:08:01,148 --> 00:08:03,568
What are your friends like?
Are they mostly like you

155
00:08:03,650 --> 00:08:05,940
or do you have any unusual friends?

156
00:08:06,028 --> 00:08:08,238
You know, a talking bear or something.

157
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:10,452
You sure have
a colorful imagination, Donna.

158
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:17,461
Donna, Curtis. What are you doing?

159
00:08:18,248 --> 00:08:19,248
Miming.

160
00:08:19,333 --> 00:08:22,043
Yeah. We're practicing our miming.

161
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:25,378
You never know
when Cirque du Soleil will be hiring.

162
00:08:26,798 --> 00:08:29,928
Okay then. Have fun with your... miming.

163
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:33,300
A healthy imagination
is always a good thing. I guess.

164
00:08:34,431 --> 00:08:36,061
Do you know where Ruben is?

165
00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:38,847
He's upstairs helping Chevon
with her campaign video.

166
00:08:38,936 --> 00:08:40,146
Or should I say...

167
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,031
Okay.

168
00:08:54,409 --> 00:08:56,079
Should I stay here or stand up?

169
00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:57,695
Definitely sit.

170
00:08:58,830 --> 00:09:01,210
Okay. And...

171
00:09:02,125 --> 00:09:03,125
Go.

172
00:09:04,795 --> 00:09:08,415
-Hello. My name is Chevon Redmond and I--
-Hey, you two. What's up?

173
00:09:09,967 --> 00:09:13,847
We were trying to film Chevon's speech
for the student council election.

174
00:09:13,929 --> 00:09:15,139
Right, sorry.

175
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:19,182
Why don't you try standing next
to the fireplace? It's more presidential.

176
00:09:20,936 --> 00:09:22,686
Sit. Trust me.

177
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,860
Leaning against the fireplace will make
you look like you're trying too hard.

178
00:09:27,317 --> 00:09:30,107
Okay? Ready and...

179
00:09:31,989 --> 00:09:32,989
Go.

180
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:36,623
My name is Chevon Redmond and I'm running
for student council president.

181
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,290
I pledge to take away
special treatment for sports teams.

182
00:09:40,372 --> 00:09:43,502
It's unfair they get new uniforms
paid for by the school

183
00:09:43,584 --> 00:09:47,094
while academic clubs who contribute
actual value, like Model UN,

184
00:09:47,171 --> 00:09:49,211
have to raise their own money
for class trips.

185
00:09:49,298 --> 00:09:53,138
What's more important:
sports or academics?

186
00:09:54,511 --> 00:09:57,931
We both know the answer,
but I'll let your vote speak for itself.

187
00:09:58,015 --> 00:10:00,175
Vote Chevon for student council president.

188
00:10:02,269 --> 00:10:03,269
Okay.

189
00:10:04,271 --> 00:10:05,481
So, how'd I do?

190
00:10:05,898 --> 00:10:08,438
Well, you certainly had
a strong point of view.

191
00:10:09,276 --> 00:10:10,276
Thanks.

192
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,360
But...

193
00:10:11,904 --> 00:10:13,914
Curtis is on the basketball team.

194
00:10:14,323 --> 00:10:16,333
Don't you think
he might get a little offended?

195
00:10:16,408 --> 00:10:17,578
It's not personal.

196
00:10:18,827 --> 00:10:21,287
Come on.
You don't actually think it's fair

197
00:10:21,371 --> 00:10:23,501
that the basketball team's
getting special treatment?

198
00:10:23,582 --> 00:10:27,252
You both are my friends, Chevon.
I don't wanna pick sides.

199
00:10:29,588 --> 00:10:31,218
Nice work, Donna, Curtis.

200
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:32,298
Thanks.

201
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:35,722
Most kids your age don't
know their way around a torque wrench.

202
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:39,932
I guess your father is a pretty handy guy
who taught you well.

203
00:10:40,015 --> 00:10:42,475
Actually,
our mom taught us how to change a tire.

204
00:10:42,893 --> 00:10:44,143
Well, how about that?

205
00:10:44,228 --> 00:10:46,558
It's cool you could tell that our parents
taught us how to fix a car

206
00:10:46,647 --> 00:10:47,647
just by watching us work.

207
00:10:47,731 --> 00:10:50,111
There's a lot you can learn
just by observing.

208
00:10:50,192 --> 00:10:51,862
There's plenty waiting to be seen

209
00:10:51,944 --> 00:10:55,284
if you just look up and pay attention
to what's around you.

210
00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:57,949
Hey.

211
00:10:58,617 --> 00:11:00,737
How's it going out here?
Making any progress?

212
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:03,957
Slowly but surely.
You mind telling me what time it is?

213
00:11:04,665 --> 00:11:06,745
It's a little after three o'clock. Why?

214
00:11:06,834 --> 00:11:09,464
I could really go for
a milkshake right about now.

215
00:11:09,545 --> 00:11:11,505
I think I saw a diner a few blocks away.

216
00:11:11,588 --> 00:11:15,588
We'll come with you.
I want a milkshake too.

217
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:18,296
Okay. Great. Let me just clean up.

218
00:11:21,098 --> 00:11:23,388
Do you know the diner he's talking about?

219
00:11:23,475 --> 00:11:27,095
It's a '50s diner.
It's like he wants to go back to his era.

220
00:11:27,187 --> 00:11:28,647
Maybe it means something.

221
00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:31,570
I think it means
that he has a sweet tooth.

222
00:11:36,697 --> 00:11:39,737
Two vanilla milkshakes,
one chocolate, and two strawberry, please.

223
00:11:40,993 --> 00:11:43,953
There are only four of you.
Why do you guys want five milkshakes?

224
00:11:45,914 --> 00:11:47,334
Great question.

225
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:48,456
Chevon?

226
00:11:49,835 --> 00:11:52,835
Because they're so good,
one is never enough.

227
00:11:53,672 --> 00:11:54,882
Coming right up.

228
00:11:58,343 --> 00:12:00,973
So, Frank, tell us about yourself.

229
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:02,893
What do you wanna know?

230
00:12:02,973 --> 00:12:05,063
Anything. You married?

231
00:12:05,517 --> 00:12:09,147
Yeah. I met my wife on the job.
Funny story actually.

232
00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:12,225
-I had just had a egg cream.
-What's that?

233
00:12:13,192 --> 00:12:16,242
You don't know what an egg cream is?
Where you been living?

234
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,860
I feel that's a loaded question. Go on.

235
00:12:18,947 --> 00:12:21,157
An egg cream is just like a milkshake.

236
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:25,656
Anyway, I'm driving the city,
picking up fares

237
00:12:25,746 --> 00:12:28,036
and this lady hails my cab.

238
00:12:28,123 --> 00:12:29,503
I open the door for her,

239
00:12:29,583 --> 00:12:32,173
which I don't normally do
'cause I'm nobody's butler,

240
00:12:32,252 --> 00:12:36,592
but there was something about her.
She had the sweetest smile.

241
00:12:37,466 --> 00:12:38,676
That's so nice.

242
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:43,136
And then suddenly, I felt a little woozy

243
00:12:43,222 --> 00:12:45,932
and I dropped my egg cream
all over her red shoes.

244
00:12:48,018 --> 00:12:50,018
Hey, everyone. Shake time.

245
00:12:51,897 --> 00:12:54,357
And one strawberry milkshake
for you, Frank.

246
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:59,321
It was awfully nice of you two to get the
milkshakes, but I insist you let me pay.

247
00:12:59,404 --> 00:13:02,124
After all, you're helping me fix the cab.

248
00:13:03,992 --> 00:13:05,332
Keep the change. My treat.

249
00:13:05,827 --> 00:13:08,867
Thanks, Frank. That's really generous.

250
00:13:12,084 --> 00:13:13,504
What's on your mind, Chevon?

251
00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:17,089
Nothing.

252
00:13:18,382 --> 00:13:19,382
You sure?

253
00:13:19,466 --> 00:13:21,216
You're picking at your nails.

254
00:13:21,301 --> 00:13:24,301
I noticed earlier you seemed to do that
when you're anxious.

255
00:13:24,888 --> 00:13:25,888
I do?

256
00:13:25,973 --> 00:13:27,523
It's what we call a "tell."

257
00:13:28,183 --> 00:13:30,813
It's like a behavior
that gives away what you're thinking.

258
00:13:31,687 --> 00:13:33,517
You wanna talk about what's on your mind?

259
00:13:36,358 --> 00:13:37,568
I guess...

260
00:13:38,652 --> 00:13:41,452
I'm a little annoyed
that the basketball team got new uniforms

261
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:44,870
while I'm trying to sell chocolate bars
to raise money for an academic trip.

262
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:46,490
Well, here's my tell
because I'm telling you

263
00:13:46,577 --> 00:13:48,617
I'm a little annoyed
that you're taking it out on me.

264
00:13:48,704 --> 00:13:51,254
It's not my fault
the school bought us new uniforms.

265
00:13:51,331 --> 00:13:53,961
Okay, but it would be nice
if you stop wearing it everywhere.

266
00:13:54,042 --> 00:13:57,052
You're just rubbing it in. Plus,
don't you have to wash it at some point?

267
00:13:57,129 --> 00:14:00,509
Hey now. Why don't we take these
milkshakes on the road and head on back?

268
00:14:00,966 --> 00:14:02,176
I got a car to fix.

269
00:14:02,968 --> 00:14:04,548
Hey, Frank, I was thinking.

270
00:14:04,636 --> 00:14:07,006
Maybe we should take another look
at that clutch cable.

271
00:14:09,808 --> 00:14:11,098
You dropped this.

272
00:14:12,144 --> 00:14:13,274
It's okay. Leave it.

273
00:14:13,353 --> 00:14:15,813
Ace of spades.
Good luck for whoever finds it.

274
00:14:16,940 --> 00:14:21,490
By the way, nice work
topping off the oil on the cab earlier.

275
00:14:21,862 --> 00:14:23,202
My mom taught me well.

276
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,410
That she did.

277
00:14:29,244 --> 00:14:32,294
Okay. So far, we know
he's a cab driver from the 1950s

278
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:34,632
who likes milkshakes
and is very observant.

279
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:37,208
And what was up with him
leaving a card on the table?

280
00:14:37,294 --> 00:14:38,464
He said it was for good luck.

281
00:14:38,545 --> 00:14:41,545
But don't you think it was strange
the way he left it so deliberately?

282
00:14:41,632 --> 00:14:43,222
It was like he did it on purpose.

283
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:45,640
So, Frank is from the 1950s

284
00:14:46,094 --> 00:14:49,684
and the cover of The Cobalt Mask
looked like it could be from the 1950s.

285
00:14:49,765 --> 00:14:51,305
Frank must be from that book.

286
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,641
That has to be why
G.W. painted it and released it.

287
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:55,897
But then why can't we find out
anything about it?

288
00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:57,859
Donna's right.
I searched everywhere online

289
00:14:57,940 --> 00:14:59,820
and there's nothing about a book
called The Cobalt Mask.

290
00:14:59,900 --> 00:15:01,610
-Hey.
-Hey.

291
00:15:03,111 --> 00:15:07,121
Grandpa, we're looking for a book.
It's called The Cobalt Mask.

292
00:15:08,033 --> 00:15:09,493
Doesn't ring a bell.

293
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:11,786
Is it new? I can order for the store.

294
00:15:12,538 --> 00:15:14,618
No. I think it's an older book.

295
00:15:14,706 --> 00:15:18,586
Well, if I haven't heard of it,
it can't be very good.

296
00:15:22,297 --> 00:15:24,417
See? Even Grandpa hasn't heard of it.

297
00:15:24,508 --> 00:15:26,088
And he's heard of every book.

298
00:15:26,176 --> 00:15:27,636
It's definitely strange.

299
00:15:29,429 --> 00:15:30,509
Here we go.

300
00:15:30,597 --> 00:15:32,677
Looks like G.W. is trying to help us out.

301
00:15:36,687 --> 00:15:39,817
Respectfully, G.W., it would be great
to give us a clue that made more sense.

302
00:15:40,315 --> 00:15:42,315
"Rhyme equals reason."

303
00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:45,897
What rhymes? Song lyrics?

304
00:15:46,446 --> 00:15:47,696
Or like a nursery rhyme.

305
00:15:48,824 --> 00:15:51,994
Though, Frank doesn't seem
like a nursery rhyme kinda guy.

306
00:15:52,077 --> 00:15:55,957
Wait! Poems can rhyme.
What if G.W. means poetry?

307
00:15:56,582 --> 00:15:59,422
Maybe Frank isn't from
The Cobalt Mask after all.

308
00:15:59,877 --> 00:16:01,297
Maybe he's from a poem.

309
00:16:06,091 --> 00:16:08,221
-There are a lot of poetry books here.
-Yeah.

310
00:16:08,302 --> 00:16:10,642
And a lot of poems in each book.
How are we gonna find it?

311
00:16:10,721 --> 00:16:13,181
This is gonna be
like finding a needle in a haystack.

312
00:16:14,808 --> 00:16:16,518
Hey! Thanks, Ghost Writer.

313
00:16:16,602 --> 00:16:19,232
Well, now it's a needle
in a smaller haystack.

314
00:16:26,403 --> 00:16:27,823
I think I found our needle.

315
00:16:30,574 --> 00:16:34,834
It's a poem called Ode to a Taxi Driver
by Kwame Alexander.

316
00:16:34,912 --> 00:16:36,122
Hey, I know that guy.

317
00:16:36,580 --> 00:16:38,750
He has a whole book
of poems about basketball.

318
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:40,712
Coach Tillman gave it to us.

319
00:16:40,792 --> 00:16:44,462
"It was all jazz, jive,
and jam, back then, after the war.

320
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:46,716
That's when the food stuck to you good.

321
00:16:46,798 --> 00:16:50,838
Like your daddy's Saturday night laughing
and your momma's Sunday morning singing.

322
00:16:50,928 --> 00:16:53,308
Today, the food's just mostly okay."

323
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:56,228
Wow. I was not expecting that.

324
00:16:56,642 --> 00:16:59,232
Who knew poetry could be so cool?

325
00:16:59,937 --> 00:17:01,767
-I did.
-Of course you did.

326
00:17:02,481 --> 00:17:04,611
Just saying. It's not all rhyming.

327
00:17:04,691 --> 00:17:08,111
Plenty of poems are really interesting
and have great rhythm. Like this one.

328
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:09,864
But what is the poem about?

329
00:17:10,446 --> 00:17:14,236
Well, it seems like it's from
the perspective of the cab driver

330
00:17:14,326 --> 00:17:18,116
and the things he observes around
the city as he drives people around.

331
00:17:18,204 --> 00:17:20,214
So, Frank is the cab driver in the poem.

332
00:17:20,290 --> 00:17:24,290
But why would Ghost Writer release
characters from The Cobalt Mask and this?

333
00:17:24,377 --> 00:17:27,167
-There has to be a reason.
-We should listen to it again.

334
00:17:30,384 --> 00:17:34,894
"So, I take my time, drive slow,
you know, give 'em the tour.

335
00:17:34,972 --> 00:17:39,392
Let the rhythm color the day like the
crimson skirts in that window over there."

336
00:17:39,476 --> 00:17:40,476
Hold on.

337
00:17:41,186 --> 00:17:42,266
Does that mean...

338
00:17:46,525 --> 00:17:47,725
Quick! Get down.

339
00:17:47,818 --> 00:17:48,818
What's your deal?

340
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:50,242
Mr. Saunders is here.

341
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,490
So? He's a teacher. They like books.

342
00:17:52,573 --> 00:17:54,743
That's like the number one thing
teachers like.

343
00:17:54,825 --> 00:17:58,405
What if he's here because of my paper?
I didn't do that badly, did I?

344
00:17:58,495 --> 00:18:00,955
Granted, I could have spent
a bit more time researching.

345
00:18:01,039 --> 00:18:03,829
Ruben. We won't be able
to figure it out if you're panicking.

346
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:09,264
-No.
-I know. Yeah, they couldn't dig it.

347
00:18:09,339 --> 00:18:12,339
If he's talking about your paper,
she doesn't seem very upset.

348
00:18:13,093 --> 00:18:14,803
When are they gonna get to my paper?

349
00:18:14,887 --> 00:18:16,597
-I know.
-So...

350
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,100
Yeah, he's not here for your paper.
I think he likes your mom.

351
00:18:23,061 --> 00:18:24,351
Hey, honey. Whatcha doing?

352
00:18:24,438 --> 00:18:26,358
Just some schoolwork.

353
00:18:30,277 --> 00:18:32,647
I didn't know
that you were into Kwame Alexander.

354
00:18:33,071 --> 00:18:34,741
I didn't know you were either.

355
00:18:38,493 --> 00:18:39,833
So, I was thinking...

356
00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:43,959
Since Curtis has basketball practice
tomorrow night,

357
00:18:44,041 --> 00:18:46,631
I thought that we could
have a girls' night. Just the two of us.

358
00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:49,920
We could go bowling or we could
go to a movie. We could grab sushi.

359
00:18:50,339 --> 00:18:52,089
Sure. Sounds great.

360
00:18:52,174 --> 00:18:55,264
But can we decide later though?
I'm kinda busy right now.

361
00:18:56,178 --> 00:18:57,638
Sure. Of course.

362
00:18:58,347 --> 00:19:00,927
I just thought you'd be excited
to defend your high score,

363
00:19:01,016 --> 00:19:02,556
Miss Three Strikes In A Row.

364
00:19:02,643 --> 00:19:04,773
Mom, I honestly
can't think about it right now.

365
00:19:04,853 --> 00:19:06,103
Well, give it a thought.

366
00:19:07,064 --> 00:19:09,484
-I'm game for whatever.
-Okay. Awesome.

367
00:19:24,623 --> 00:19:25,923
Great speech, Chevon.

368
00:19:26,291 --> 00:19:28,171
-Thanks.
-No offense.

369
00:19:29,837 --> 00:19:33,757
It's not even a fair comparison.
Uniforms are required for basketball.

370
00:19:33,841 --> 00:19:36,341
You can still have Model UN
without going to New York City.

371
00:19:36,426 --> 00:19:39,176
The people have spoken.
Clearly they agree with me.

372
00:19:40,639 --> 00:19:42,019
Apparently not everyone.

373
00:19:49,648 --> 00:19:50,978
I don't get it.

374
00:19:51,316 --> 00:19:53,566
I've read it ten times
and I still can't figure out

375
00:19:53,652 --> 00:19:55,742
why G.W. picked this specific poem.

376
00:19:55,821 --> 00:19:57,321
Glad it wasn't just me.

377
00:19:57,406 --> 00:19:59,866
We need to keep talking to Frank.
It's the only way we'll figure it out.

378
00:19:59,950 --> 00:20:03,080
It's gonna be tough to talk to him
if he's not here.

379
00:20:03,662 --> 00:20:05,872
Maybe he went back to the diner
for another milkshake.

380
00:20:05,956 --> 00:20:07,076
That won't go well.

381
00:20:07,165 --> 00:20:10,915
Well, let's just look around the cab
and see if there's any clues inside.

382
00:20:11,003 --> 00:20:12,463
Donna, keep an eye out for Frank.

383
00:20:12,546 --> 00:20:14,876
Okay. If he comes, I'll say, "Pineapple."

384
00:20:14,965 --> 00:20:17,425
Or you could literally just say,
"Hey, Frank."

385
00:20:17,885 --> 00:20:19,295
I like my plan better.

386
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:40,739
Look.

387
00:20:40,824 --> 00:20:42,704
Is that gum from the 1950s?

388
00:20:42,784 --> 00:20:43,914
Gross.

389
00:20:44,328 --> 00:20:45,868
Cool. I want a piece.

390
00:20:48,749 --> 00:20:53,499
Whoa. It's not gum.
It's like a tiny tape recorder.

391
00:21:01,887 --> 00:21:03,597
I bet this ink's invisible.

392
00:21:06,099 --> 00:21:07,809
Check out this mini camera.

393
00:21:08,769 --> 00:21:10,399
Whoa. A spy radio.

394
00:21:12,397 --> 00:21:15,027
Why would a cab driver
have all this spy equipment?

395
00:21:16,944 --> 00:21:18,284
Pineapple! Pineapple!

396
00:21:18,779 --> 00:21:19,989
Quick! Put it back!

397
00:21:33,502 --> 00:21:34,712
Hey, kids.

398
00:21:35,671 --> 00:21:36,881
Whatcha up to?

399
00:21:36,964 --> 00:21:38,094
Nothing.
