Moondreams
Episode Synopsis:
Carmen dreams about being the first woman on the moon and attempts to do so.
Goofs:
Continuity: Zack was holding a teddy bear and a comorant feather when the Chief explains about the henchmen on the move, but it later disappears.
Continuity: When Zack picks up an Illuma Pad and starts making an initial of his name, the peg lights are green, but when Ivy shows Zack the yin and yang, the peg lights are white. The Illuma Pad then disappears from Zack's hands.
Miscellaneous: If you got Moondreams from Fox Kids, Fox Fam, or Pax, when the Chinese henchman says in Chinese, chances are you have subtitles, but if you rented or bought the video (Moondreams/Split Up) the subtitles are gone.
Continuity: When Zack and Ivy slide down the rope, they're inside the litte area, but when they're about to C-5 to Cape Canaveral, they're outside.
Continuity: Zack's belt disappears.
Neil Armstrong: That's one small step for man...
Carmen: ...and one giant leap for Carmen Sandiego.
Salesgirl: Huh? Oh! Shoo! Go away! Go! Get out of here! Go!
Carmen: Don't be afraid. He's just a pet.
Salesgirl: Hey, wait! Aren't you...um...somebody?
Carmen: We're all somebody.
Salesgirl: Huh? Brian, is she somebody famous?
Brian: Oh man! That's Carmen Sandiego! Call the police!
Police: We've got every bridge and (?) in Manhattan, New York, covered. You can't escape, Carmen!
Carmen: Before we leave New York, cut across to Times Square. I arranged a little surprise for everyone in the Big Apple.
*ad for Moo Juice*
Police: We've got you surrounded, Carmen Sandiego. Come out with your hands in the air.
Civilian: Hey, look! It's Carmen Sandiego!
Police: Heh. Nice trick. But the real Carmen's in here.
Player: If you think you can get away from me this time, you're dreaming, Carmen.
Carmen: Better watch out. My dream could become your nightmare.
Chief: "She'll be coming around the mountain when she comes, she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes, she'll coming around the mountain, she'll be coming around the mountain, she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes."
Zack: I just don't get it, Chief. If Carmen paid for the toy, what's the crime?
Chief: Okay, okay, it wasn't technically a theft. But Carmen Sandiego is definitely up to something B-I-G and it spells huge! Known henchmen have been meeting in cities from Pakistan to Peru, China to Chile, and various longitudes and latitudes in-between. Hey, where're you going?
Zack: There must be something special with this toy for it to grab Carmen's attention. Well, at least Illuma Pads are pretty cool toys. Maybe all those henchmen wanted to play with hers.
Zack: Ivy, you hear that?
Ivy: Uh, Zack, I don't speak Chinese.
Zack: It's something about getting to Xi Chang before nightfall. Now they're saying somebody's outside the door--Hey! They didn't say anything about a net, I'm sure of it!
Ivy: Unless Carmen's taken up farming, I'd say Xi Chang's Launch Center sounds like the best place for us to start, Zack. Zack?
Zack: We're in luck, Ivy! There's a merchant on his way to Xi Chang, he'll give us a lift!
Zack: Uh, shouldn't we find security and let them know we're on their grounds?
Ivy: I've got a feeling they already paid security a visit. Come on!
Chinese Henchman: {Hurry up, we're out of time!}
Ivy: Mind if we give you two a hand?
Chinese Henchpeople: Huh?
Zack: Gotcha!
Ivy: Where'd they go?
Zack: Well, at least we stopped them from ripping off this rocket.
Ivy: Uh, Zack, look.
Zack: Okay...now see, this is bad.
Ivy: A cheap, $10 kid's toy and now some of the most expensive space hardware in the world!
Ivy: Hmph. I guess Carmen wants to see that all our daily nutritional requirements are met while we're away from home.
Ivy: Looks like a message.
Zack: Carmen must've written on it with some kind of base, like borax, that neutralizes acid, keeping the letters blue.
Ivy: "I'm taking a trip, and I'll be blue, love, Maria."
Zack: Where's she taking a trip to? And who's Maria?
Ivy: This is getting us nowhere.
Zack: Wait a minute. Ivy, Carmen just stole rockets. Maybe she's taking a trip into space, and maybe Maria isn't a "who," but a "what."
Ivy: I have no idea what you're talking about, Zack.
Zack: Look, 400 years ago Galileo thought those dark patches on the moon were water, so he named them with the Latin word for seas--maria.
Ivy: Okay, Einstein. Then what's this part meaning about being blue?
Zack: Well, a blue moon is when there's two full moons in one month, right?
Ivy: Okay, fine. Player, infoscan lunar activity. When is the next time there are two full moons in a month?
Zack: Uh, one more thing Florida is known for, Ivy.
Ivy: What's that?
Zack: Alligators!
Ivy: Quick, Zack! Your belt!
Zack: What, are you nuts, Ivy? What makes you think you can hold his jaw shut?
Ivy: Zoology class, little bro. Alligators have enough power to crush cow bones like kindling, but not much at all for opening wide. Easy, big fellow, easy, no one's going to hurt you...Get ready to run, Zack!
Ivy: We've got to talk to the Chief about fixing that C-5 glitch.
Zack: Or I've got to take wrestling lessons. Hey...they don't piggyback the Space Shuttle away from Cape Canaveral, this is the launch site.
Announcer: All security personnel report to your stations! Carmen Sandiego has stolen the Space Shuttle!
Scientist: All personnel are busy with this crisis. I'll be with you shortly.
Zack: Great. Now how are we going to find out where Carmen's gone?
Michelle: Hi, I'm Michelle. Can I help?
Zack: Heh, naw, thanks. You're just--
Michelle: A kid?
Zack: Uh--no. I meant you're just pretty darn impressive in that space suit. Why are you wearing a space suit?
Michelle: Well, I go to Space Camp down here at Cape Canaveral. We were going to get a chance to watch the Space Shuttle launch.
Ivy: Until Carmen stole it, huh?
Michelle: Yeah.
Zack: Well, maybe you can help us find out what she's up to, Michelle.
Zack: I wish I knew where we were going. This llama's not exactly comfortable.
Ivy: Well, don't sweat it, little bro. There's Carmen's launch site. What is she thinking of?!
Zack: Coast is clear! Here's the Illuma Pad she bought at that toy store, Ivy!
Ivy: But what's she doing with it?
Zack: Huh. Only one way to find out. Whoa, the rocket payloads are filled with red and black dye.
Ivy: Biodegradable, no doubt.
Zack: And this program is set to launch the stolen rockets to specific locations on the lunar surface. When the color dyes are released, Carmen's image will appear on the face of the full moon.
Ivy: Like a giant paint-by-number!
Zack: And she'll orchestrate the whole thing from her bird's-eye view aboard the stolen Space Shuttle!
Computer: Prepare for launch.
Ivy: Zack, you've got to stop the launch! If she gets away with the Space Shuttle and those long-mark rockets, it could send international space programs back years!
Zack: But it could take days to break her code!
Computer: T-minus three minutes and counting.
Ivy: We don't have days! Come on! Carmen!
Carmen I want them to watch...from a distance.
Ivy: You okay?
Zack: Just tell me when it's over!
Computer: Launch aborted, temperature below sea levels. Launch aborted.
Zack: Alright, Ivy! We did it!
Ivy: Woohoo! Now, with a little luck, we can nab Carmen.
Carmen: You froze me out this time, detectives. But there's always going to be another full moon--and another chance.
*Carmen escapes*
Zack: Well, if it's any consolation, Michelle will be glad we saved the Space Shuttle.
Ivy: Yeah, and who knows? Maybe she'll become the first woman on the moon instead of Carmen.
Player: My detectives brought you down to earth, huh Carmen?
Carmen: If you don't shoot for the moon you'll never know what can be yours, Player. See you next crime.
