-Hey there. -How's it going?
Hi, Bo. What's the tallest mountain?
Oh, it's Mount Everest in the Himalayas,
and it's 29,000 feet tall!
-I could climb that with a ladder. -No, you'll have to use a hundred ladders.
Actually, at 29,000 feet tall, you'll need over 7,000 ladders.
Whoa. That's a lot of ladders, man.
Hi, StoryBots. How many hairs do I have on my head?
I don't know. Let's find out.
Wow, people have over 100,000 hairs on their head.
That's a lot of hairs.
Thank you.
Hey, Boop. How many hairs do I have on my head?
Boop, boop.
Two? That's twice as many as yesterday! Woo-hoo!
Boop, boop boop, boop boop.
Oh. Hey, StoryBots.
I'm wondering if you could help me with something.
Uh, yeah. No problem.
But what's with the outfit? You goin' to a costume party?
Oh. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That's where I'm going. Costume party.
I love costume parties!
Me too. I love costume parties, Bo. Me too. So fun.
Excuse me. Why exactly are we whispering, miss?
Um, because, um…
of my neighbours. I've got neighbours.
And they're sleeping. They're very tired.
So, yep. That's why I'm whispering.
Oh yes. That makes a lot of sense.
It does?
Yeah, dude. You totally don't want to wake the neighbours.
Gang, I don't think this is a good--
What can we help you with?
Oh, yes, funny story.
I lost my keys that unlock my safe
that holds my giant diamond.
You own the Vanderrockinfeldenberger diamond?
That's the prettiest, most illustrious diamond in the whole world!
You know, this old thing? It's been in my family for years.
My grandma had it, and then my mom had it, and now I have it. It's mine.
So, like, what's your question, Costume Lady?
Well, if you can tell me how keys work,
then I can get into the safe to steal--
I mean, wear… the diamond,
my diamond, the one that's mine, to the costume party.
Hmm, something doesn't seem quite right.
I've got to make a phone call.
-Boop, boop boop, boop boop. -Great idea, Boop.
I've seen the Amazing Tortellini escape from locked up chains too.
-He's got to know how keys work. -Yeah, the Amazing Tortellini's amazing.
-Amazing? Not even close. -He really is.
StoryBots? Sorry, if you could just hurry it up a bit, because security--
I mean, the costume party's starting soon
and they're gonna be upset if I show up late.
Boop, boop.
Boop, boop boop, boop.
Answer time!
Hi, StoryBots.
Why do I always have to say please and thank you?
Hey, kids! It's me, Super Mega Awesome Ultra Guy!
Now, you all know that I can fly, I can run fast,
and I can bend steel with my bare hands.
But my strongest superpower is saying please and thank you.
Now, Reptilla was stomping right through the city,
as he normally does, but did I try to fight with him?
No way.
I flew right up to Reptilla and I says…
"Reptilla, please. Watch where you're stepping, man."
I asked so nicely that he decided to walk around the city.
So I said, "Thank you, Reptilla."
You see, kids? You don't need superpowers to be a hero.
All you need is to say please and thank you.
And that's super awesome.
Hi, StoryBots. Can you please tell me a fun fact?
Fun fact number 7,400,064.
Did you know koala bears have fingerprints that are almost identical to humans?
And all over the scene of the crime, we found…
fingerprints!
The court finds the defendant… guilty!
What-- No. No, it wasn't me!
It was the koala! Those are koala fingerprints!
It was the koala!
They bought it.
Boop.
Next stop, the Toucan Palace Hotel and Nightclub.
The Toucan Palace and Nightclub is pleased to present… the Great Tortellini!
Thank you!
-Marv, it's really him! -Hmm?
For tonight's mind-blowing performance, I will need a volunteer from the audience.
Hmm?
Boop.
Pesto, please escort our next victim--
I mean, volunteer… to the box!
Boop? Boop boop!
By volunteering, you agree to hold the Tortellini Corporation
harmless from any injury.
Boop boop boop! Boop! Boop boop!
Silence!
Boop?
These illusions require my utmost concentration.
You do not want to end up like our last volunteer.
Abracadabra! Oobalagooba! Sundalamunda!
Slice the box!
Boop boop boop boop, boop!
Ez za ma mista!
Boop, boop.
Oh my gosh! Wow! Yay!
Pull!
Boop.
Fettuccine, linguine, macaroni!
Spaghetti!
-Banana! -Boop?
Yeah!
Pesto, the lock.
Boop?
And now, for the grand finale, I will…
swallow the key!
Boop?
Light the fuse!
And now, unlock!
Unlock!
Now, unlock!
Unlock! Unlock, unlock, unlock!
Pesto, blow it out. Blow it out!
-Boop! -Pesto, blow it out!
Everybody get out of here!
Bill, please.
I told Barb not to make the lock so strong,
but she just can't help herself.
Boop boop?
Barb. From security. You know, she handles all the locks?
Boop boop boop. Boop boop boop boop. Boop, boop boop.
Thank you! I'll be here all week!
Hi, StoryBots, I am Kavya, and I want to know this…
What is the difference between a square and a cube?
The Adventures of… Blimblam the Barbarian!
Blimblam!
You may cross my bridge if, and only if,
you can answer a single question.
Blimblam no like to answer question. Blimblam like to bash!
What simple shape do I hold before you?
That easy. That circle. Blimblam cross bridge now.
Wrong!
This is not a circle. What you see before you is a sphere.
Blimblam see no difference.
A circle is a flat shape and is two-dimensional.
It only has height and length.
While a sphere is a solid shape, it is three-dimensional.
It has height, length, and depth.
Blimblam no care.
Wait!
You still haven't answered a question. What is this?
Um… square.
Wrong again!
This is a square. It is two-dimensional. Height, length, but no depth.
This is a cube. It is three-dimensional. Height, length, and depth.
Look same.
Try again.
That triangle.
It's a pyramid!
Blimblam smash!
Circle, square, triangle.
No more depth. Blimblam now cross bridge.
What? No way. You just cheated!
I will not let you cross my bridge.
Hmm, okay.
Then Blimblam bash here!
Oh, my beautiful bridge!
Please, just-- Just leave, Blimblam. Leave!
Flat shapes, solid shapes So much fun to know
-Yay! -Hooray!
A circle is a shape that's round and flat
-It's two-dimensional -Yes, that's a fact!
It's got height and width But no depth at all
-But a sphere is solid! -Now we're having a ball
It's three-dimensional, look and see
-With height, width, and depth -Yeah, one, two, three!
It's round like a circle But it's not the same
You can't kick a circle in a football game
Flat shapes, solid shapes, cool as can be
-I'm two-dimensional. -And I'm 3D.
Yes, two kinds of shapes wherever you go
Flat shapes, solid shapes So much fun to know
-Whoo-hoo! -Whoa! All right!
A square is a 2D shape that's flat
And a cube is a 3D version of that
Like a cube of sugar
Or a cube of ice!
-And two cubes make a pair of fuzzy dice -All right!
-What about a triangle? -Take a look
They're 2D shapes on a page of a book
But 3D pyramids proudly stand In the desert sand in Egypt land
Flat shapes, solid shapes, cool as can be
-We're two-dimensional! -And we're 3D!
Yes, two kinds of shapes, wherever you go
Flat ones, solid ones, so much fun
So much fun
To know
Boop!
Next stop, Security Hardware Headquarters.
Boop boop?
-State your business. -Boop boop, boop, boop.
You want to learn about locks and keys? Let's see some identification.
Boop boop.
Turn to your right. Door 1707.
Boop.
Boop Bunklebee? The name's Barb. Hop in.
We're almost done building this lock for the Archive Department.
-You see that bolt up there? -Boop?
That bolt is what slides in and out of the doorway
to let people in or keep 'em out.
Hiya, Barb!
But right through the keyway is where the magic really happens.
This area is called the plug.
It's what turns and moves the bolt when the key is inserted.
Boop? Boop boop?
Good question. You see those giant columns?
They're actually made up of separate parts called pins.
Boop! Boop.
Without the right key, the pins stop the plug from turning.
But when the space between the pins is lifted to this point right here,
called the shear line…
the plug can turn.
Boop boop boop boop?
The only way to lift all the pins to the correct height
is to insert the right key.
Suzy, you hear that?
Yeah. Sounds like Barb wants us to turn the key.
-I didn't know we were doing a test today. -Well, you heard the lady.
Okay.
-What the-- -Boop?
They're not supposed to be testing today.
-We've got to get out of here! -Boop?
Boop, run! Immediately!
-Boop! -Now, now! Run!
Boop!
Uh, I think it's broken.
Boop!
It's not broken. This happened to me on Tuesday.
All you got to do is kick it!
Oh, I see.
Stop! There's a StoryBot stuck in the lock!
Well, hey, what do you know? There was a StoryBot stuck in that lock.
See? I told you it wasn't broken.
Boop boop.
Sorry about that. It'll be safer from here.
Observe.
When the grooves on the key lift the pins
to the exact same height as the shear line,
the plug can turn, which moves the bolt.
Ow.
Nothing like seeing a working lock and key.
Boop boop, boop. Boop, boop. Boop boop, boop boop.
It was our pleasure. See you next time.
Bye-bye.
When a lock is locked
The space inside is blocked By a row of pins
Preventing it from turning
But when the right shaped key goes in
It neatly lines up every pin
That's how a key unlocks a lock
-In a pin tumbler lock -That's the typical kind
The plug is the little space inside
And inside that, there's a row of pins
Lined up in pairs, pushed by springs
Blockin' that plug from turning free
But if you've got the key
That moves each pair of pins To a certain height
The space between pairs Lines up right at the shear line
Now that plug is free to turn
And the end result, you move that bolt
Consider your lock lesson learned
When a lock is locked
The space inside is blocked By a row of pins
Preventing it from turning
But when the right shaped key goes in
It neatly lines up every pin
That's how a key unlocks a lock
I didn't do it! Oh!
Hey, Boop. It's just you.
Hey, so did you guys find out how keys work to open locks?
'Cause this costume party's not gonna last all night.
Boop boop boop. Boop, boop. Boop boop boop, boop boop.
Boop, boop boop boop boop boop. Boop.
Oh, okay. So you have to have to the pins line up with the shear line?
But if I don't have the key, how am I supposed to steal this diamond?
Steal the diamond?
Of course I'm here to steal the diamond!
You didn't think I really owned the diamond, did you?
But what about the costume party?
I'm afraid there's no costume party.
Yeah. Can't believe you fell for that old trick.
Oh, the police.
Not again.
Whoa!
Let's go. You know the drill. We're heading downtown.
All right, I'm comin'. Well, thanks anyway, StoryBots.
At least I know how keys and locks work now.
What's for dinner in jail?
I'm hungry after all that diamond-stealing.
Whoa, I did not see that coming.
-It was our pleasure, Officer. -Huh?
We can't thank you enough, StoryBots.
If you hadn't delayed the burglar, we might have never caught her.
Well, Team 341B is always here to help.
-Goodbye, Officer! -Our pleasure!
-Glad we could help! -Boop.
-Bye bye! -Take care, Officer!
