(Kyle) My name is Kyle Keeley.
If you're wondering why my brothers are chasing me,
or why I'd steal from Twinkie the dog,
it's all because of one man,
Luigi L. Lemoncello.
Where is Kyle? I sent him to buy
a new crescent wrench an hour ago.
He's always playing those games, he's obsessed.
(Kyle) Some kids play video games.
We play Lemoncello's Scavenger Hunt.
It's just one of his many popular games.
But rumor has it, his next project is the biggest yet.
No, no, no! The dog!
Aah!
Here's the wrench, Dad!
Whoa! Whoa!
(Dad) Kyle! Come back here!
(Kyle) Mr. Lemoncello is the greatest game maker of all time.
He's also my hero.
Okay, back to the game.
My final task.
Find two coins from 1982 that add up to 30 cents
and one can't be a nickel.
But the other coin can be a nickel.
So, a quarter and a nickel.
I know where to find them.
¶ Yeah, you gotta do it ¶
¶ I said do it, yeah ¶
¶ You've got to do it ¶
¶ Do it again ¶
¶ You gotta do it again and again ¶
Sorry, boys, you're too late.
What! No, how?!
Twinkie was right on you.
It ain't over till it's over.
It is over.
(school bell rings)
(Kyle sighs)
(Kyle) Life's funny.
Once second you strike out, game over.
But then the next second...
you get a bonus round.
(class laughs)
Greetings.
I am Mrs. Tobin,
former head of the Old Town Library
which closed 12 years ago today.
I'm here to announce the opening of a new,
state-of-the-art library,
which will stand where the old Gold Leaf Bank once stood,
thanks to your very own world-famous
Luigi L. Lemoncello.
(Kyle) That's right, my idol, the greatest game maker ever
had secretly built a crazy cool new library in my hometown.
He even found a way to keep the old librarian,
Mrs. Tobin, alive, and it gets better.
Now, the twelve 12-year-olds who write
the most imaginative essays will get to play
Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library.
The winners will be announced
at Mr. Lemoncello's birthday gala in two days' time.
Toodles.
(Kyle) In that moment,
I knew my destiny was to play that game.
So I'd have to write the best essay of my life,
'cause everyone else would be, too.
Like Sierra Russell, who's read more books
than everyone else I know combined.
(school bell ringing)
And Miguel Fernandez, the only kid
who actually does library duty for fun.
Haley Daley, the most popular girl in school.
A thousands friends, yet somehow alone in every photo.
Uh! (Kyle) Andrew Peckleman.
Nice guy, but always getting picked on.
Hey, I'm already out.
Way to use your head, Peckleman.
(Kyle) Which bring me to Charles Chiltington.
Bully, lover of khakis, gifted at berating.
I eat losers for breakfast.
(Kyle) Unfortunate for us all.
(grunts)
(laughing)
(Kyle) Finally, Akimi Hughes.
Hey, Kyle.
Mathlete, class treasurer, and my best friend.
Just putting the finishing touches on my essay.
How'd yours go?
(Kyle) Right, my essay.
Truth is, I just couldn't find the words,
so I let my imagination run wild.
I put all of my favorite ideas in there.
I even unleashed my biggest creation, the Scaradactyl.
I hope it's enough to get me in, 'cause once I'm in that library,
there is no stopping me from getting out.
¶¶
(music continues)
(man) Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls!
(trumpet fanfare playing)
Your attention, please!
Introducing...
the one, the only...
Luigi L. Lemoncello! (chuckles)
(cheering and applause)
(Luigi laughing)
(laughing)
Oh, what, what!
Okay, now, let's get down to business.
Oh, steady as she goes. Steady, whoa-whoa-whoa.
Ooh, ow, whoo-hoo.
This is harder than it looks!
Oh, no!
(crowd screaming)
Whoa!
(cheering and applause)
(laughing)
First rule of game-making--
always be one step ahead.
(cheering and applause)
And now to announce the players
of the greatest game of all time.
Of escape and puzzles and a robbery to unwind.
In a hundred-acre library where the books come to life,
12 will enter,
but only one will win the night.
When you hear your name, please, join me on stage.
Miguel Fernandez!
(cheering and applause) Mommy, I did it!
Andrew Peckleman!
Yeah!
Bridgette Wadge!
Sean Keegan!
Sierra Russell!
(gasps)
Yasmeen Smith-Snyder!
Kayla Corson!
Haley Daley! No way.
Akimi Hughes!
Oh, yes!
Rose Vermette!
Charles Chiltington!
(whispers) Yeah!
And our final winner...
Kyle Keeley!
No way!
Yes, yes!
Makes us proud, troublemaker.
Thanks, Dad.
Now smile for the cameras and wave good-bye!
(excited chatter)
Whoo-hoo!
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum.
(laughing)
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Welcome to my library.
It is a hodgepodge of many things,
much like me.
Be warned, escaping from the library
is not for the faint of heart.
It will test every fiber of your being,
every ounce of your strength.
Every shred of your courage!
(all gasp)
This is your last chance to leave before we begin.
Unless you're absolutely sure you're up to the task...
Go!
(all gasp)
Uh, I forgot, I have... soccer practice tonight.
Yeah, me too.
Really? Well, ten of you still left?
I guess Mr. Lemoncello's losing his edge.
Allow me to introduce Dr. Zinchenko, Head Librarian.
She's a genius.
Genius? Thank you.
These... are your library cards.
Wow. Cool.
Each has a help assistance mechanism or a "HAM" button.
Before you press it, be aware that if you do,
you will be...
Hey, that's me!
That's my face on there!
Ahh!
...out of the game!
Poor girl, she should've listened.
And followed my number-one rule.
Be gentle to each other.
And to the library.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, well, she should land in three, two...
No!
(crowd gasps)
(Kayla) That's not fair. How was I supposed to know?
I can't believe I'm out. Let's go home.
Now, as you solve puzzles in the library,
you will gain access to the clues.
These clues will eventually help you
to answer the big question.
How to escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library.
Do not attempt to use the fire exits as shortcuts.
Also, please be aware some areas are still under construction.
So do not go where anything is marked off-limits.
It could be very dangerous.
But don't worry, we'll be watching you
from the control room at all times.
Whomever escapes first will become the face
every child sees on all things Lemoncello--
books, games, playing cards.
You name it.
After all, everything I do, I do for you.
(all chuckling) Now behold.
The Golden Key.
(all gasping)
It contains more power
than a bazillion lightning bugs combined.
It controls every book, every relic,
every precious item in my library.
And only two exist.
This one...
and mine.
(boy) Wow.
Excuse me.
Just one more flight of stairs.
(squeaking)
Whoopsie.
Don't mind those.
They have a mind of their own.
(all laughing)
Whoa.
Did you see that?
Sweet.
This is it. Oh, this is awesome.
Behind these doors lies my most precious invention yet.
What may appear to be a normal library is anything but.
You don't just read the books.
You live them!
Here you will face the challenges you encounter,
solve the riddles, win the clues.
Then you too can shoo, shoo, shoo
just like the loblolly, too.
(all chuckling)
What's he mean? What does he mean by that?
Come on. Here we go.
(excited chatter) (girl) No way.
Look at this.
Whoa.
Look at that. That is awesome.
(excited chatter continues)
Look!
This place is awesome.
So awesome.
Look at that. Look upstairs.
Now! Let the games begin.
You have six hours to escape.
Good luck.
(all gasping)
Look over there. No way.
Look at all the books.
Check out the inscription.
Do you think this is our first puzzle?
No, it's probably just some stupid--
Behold, your first puzzle.
To get your escape clue, you must decipher this code.
You have two minutes, begin.
Two minutes? Okay.
Okay, um...
Think it's another language?
I don't think so.
Look, quotation marks. Maybe it's a quote.
Out of the way.
I'll handle this. Okay, um...
assuming it is a quote, whoever said it
has a name that's five letters, one letter,
ten letters. So?
So... we kinda happen to be in the library
of a guy who has a middle initial.
Luigi L. Lemoncello
is five letters, one letter, ten letters.
Nice. Good work, Kyle.
We can match these characters to the letters as a guide.
Good idea.
Exactly what I was about to say.
(Andrew) Funny, if semicolons all mean L,
I always type semicolons on my phone
when I mean to type L.
Me too. It drives me crazy.
That's it.
Each character is one keyboard letter off.
Semicolon means L and I means U and so on.
It's modern typos on an ancient manuscript.
A hodgepodge of old and new.
Knowledge not shared remains unknown.
Luigi L. Lemoncello.
(bell dinging) Yes!
Well done.
Heed this advice if you hope to escape.
That's our escape clue? Lame.
That's just some friendly advice.
This is your clue.
(all gasping)
Wow.
(sighing)
Huh.
Here.
"Dandy Bandits Rob Alexandriaville's Gold Leaf Bank."
Hmm. "The Dandy Bandits stole
$1 and a half million last night."
(Akimi and newsman reading) "Employees of the Gold Leave Bank were shocked this morning
when they arrived to an empty vault."
Chief Young had this to say to reporters.
Well, we know exactly what the Dandy Bandit stole.
How they got into the vault remains a mystery.
A full investigation's underway.
Whoa, check it out.
The bold letters spell out "The Way."
Hey, is that the bathroom?
Too much punch.
Uh-huh, yes, I think it is.
Right through here, friend.
Uh-oh, uh...
(all shouting, alarm sounding)
(girl) Whoa!
Oops, that was a fire exit.
Guess I forgot to share the knowledge.
Why would you do that?
What a weasel.
You know, maybe we should form a team.
Since knowledge would actually be shared.
You in?
Definitely. Sweet.
(all) Whoa!
Wow, this must be that old bank vault
they mentioned in that article.
Ahh! Out of my way, Pickle.
Now, where... (wind whistling)
There might be a clue in there.
Or better yet... money.
(snickering)
Whoops, dropped my glasses.
I can't find them 'cause I'm not wearing them.
Man, catch-22.
Thanks, Kyle.
Well, that thing's not budging.
Good going, Pickle. (Mrs. Tobin) Boys and girls,
please meet me in front of the horror section
for some important information.
Think of this room as your safe zone.
A safe zone? From what?
From all the challenges you'll face.
Right, those.
Now, remember, you may only enter each section once
to look for clues or else you'll be disqualified.
Ugh, the old lady photobombed me.
Uh, Haley... I beg your pardon.
You might wanna pay attention to this.
Uh, Sierra, who said you could talk to me?
(groaning)
Uh, yes, Miguel?
Please, please, can I go first?
I've done, like, 3,000 hours of community service
at the school library.
Okay, Miguel, that is indeed a good reason.
Your challenge is to retrieve the escape clue if you dare.
Or should I say if you scare.
Ooh-ooh-ooh! (snaps)
(quick beep)
That's amazing.
So cool.
Horror, here I come.
(Mrs. Tobin) Welcome to horror.
Remember, somewhere in this section is an escape clue.
Pay attention to every detail.
It might be right in front of you.
For your first escape clue,
you will need to find a very famous book.
You will have two minutes to find "The Tell-Tale Heart."
Like, Edgar Allan Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart?"
Yes, but be warned. You are not alone.
(laughing)
Uh, pardon me... (gasps)
Uh, do you know if it's a full moon tonight?
Why do you ask?
(growling)
(roars) (screaming)
(panting)
(heart pounding quickly)
(electronic voice) Heart rate increasing.
All systems functioning normally.
Ta-da!
Looking good.
Ah, wow, the horror section.
How very scary-tastic, ooh-hoo.
Ooh...
(laughing)
My, my, your blood is pumping.
(screaming)
The book! There it is!
(low moan)
Ahh!
(snarls)
(gasping) Okay, forget this!
I just wanna be a librarian!
I'm out of here.
Hmm?
Poor, Miguel. Who cares?
He couldn't handle a little haunted house, boo-hoo.
What a baby.
Boo! (panting)
I can't do this anymore.
Wait, don't give up! I'm out of here.
Ahh!
(Charles chuckling)
Come on, you really gonna throw a pity party
every time someone leaves?
Yes, it's called being gentle with each other and the library.
Remember? Rule one?
Whatever. It's called being a wuss.
I hate to burst your bubble, but Akimi and I are a team.
And we're going to beat you, fair and square.
Oh, really?
Well, uh, I'm forming a team too.
Who's in?
Obvi.
Peckleman? Well, actually--
Over here, now, Pickle.
(Haley) Move it!
Don't bother, she's "soops" weird.
Actually she's "soops" unavailable.
'Cause she's on our team.
Thanks, guys. Awesome.
Yeah, say good night.
You'll never win against this team.
Fine, I guess we have two teams.
The winning team AKA, huh, my team.
And Kyle's team of losers.
We're gonna crush you.
Now, let's go in the children's section.
This ought to be a cinch.
Later, losers.
Whatevs.
(Charles laughing)
(laughing) Oh, yeah.
Whoa! Cool.
(Haley) What do you call this?
Fantasy, science, classics.
It's so hard to choose.
Classics, it's my specialty.
Classics, here we come.
Whoa. Whoa!
Awesome, whoa.
Wow. Whoa.
There's gotta be a million books here.
(crowing)
Look at the cute little geese.
(music chimes)
Welcome to the children's section.
To get your next escape clue, you have four minutes
to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
Are you kidding me?
Child's play.
Also, just a word to the wise.
Do not pick up the goslings
unless you want to deal with an angry Mother Goose.
Angry Mother Goose, what?
(loud honking)
Okay.
Easy Mrs. Goose, easy.
Oh, for the love of geese, help!
(chuckling)
Okay, now, let's put this big egg together
before Keeley's team gets their next clue.
Ahh! No!
Now in order to get your first escape clue,
you must retrieve a very famous book.
You have two minutes, go!
Okay, we are officially dead.
Her beak is so sharp!
Ugh!
Gross! Yolk everywhere!
Ahh!
Ahh! Whoa!
(pigs squealing)
Okay, never mind!
Ew! What happened to you?!
(phone beeping) Hold that thought.
I think I might have gotten a signal!
Ugh!
Okay... I'm so in trouble!
Hey! Help!
Ahh!
Hi, friend, I'm Charlotte.
You're safe now. Charlotte?
From "Charlotte's Web."
(sighing)
You're friendly.
Hey! It's okay!
It's Charlotte from "Charlotte's Web"!
Plus, I learned a valuable lesson
about not judging a book by its cover.
(bell dinging) Did it.
(Andrew) It's really comfy in here.
Yes!
Come on, there's gotta be a way to crack this.
Think.
Look, that image up in the corner.
It's the official flag of Rome.
Rome plus "O" equals Romeo.
Yes! Yes!
(Akimi) Um, okay, that's a hand, right?
Hand minus "H" is and.
"Romeo and Juliet" written by William Shakespeare.
(Mrs. Tobin) Excellent, the escape clue
is in the book "Romeo and Juliet."
Tippy-top shelf to your right.
All the way up there.
Oh, no, that is really... Really high.
Is that a problem?
Just a bit.
I have acrophobia.
You know... Fear of heights?
(Luigi) Oh, wow, that is truly
some team-tastic teamwork over in classics.
So, what are the children in children's doing?
Wait a minute.
But-- but that's not right.
What the Wilbur? Pigs don't fly in "Charlotte's Web."
We've a bug in the pig.
A bug in the pig?
Yup, a pig bug, a system glitch.
(beeping) Right! I'll handle it.
(chuckling)
There, problem solved.
Respectfully, uh, maybe we're pushing
the system a tad too hard.
Perhaps we should consider stopping.
Let's not get carried way.
It was one tiny pig bug.
Simple fix.
(pigs squealing) (chuckling)
What if we create a book staircase and climb it?
And ruin by stepping on their beautiful covers?
Are you insane?
Unless you have a better idea.
Oh, fine, but be gentle, please.
These books are priceless classics.
"Aesop's Fables."
Such a classic.
"Classic Tales of Classical Times."
Even more classic.
Huh? "First Edition Hard Hover"?
That's not a classic. "With a great book,
"you can reach the greatest heights.
Luigi L. Lemoncello."
Whoa.
Hey, look at the spines.
Lots of these books are "hard hovers."
Grab as many as you can find.
Wait, Kyle, just--
Oh, check me out!
Whoa! Whoa!
Wait! Help! No!
Oh, whoa!
Whoa! What's happening?
No!
I'm gonna crash, look out!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay, so I get how to move side-to-side,
but how do I move up?
Let me see if there are instructions?
Try the opposite, tilt forward.
(Kyle) Oh, okay, easy.
This is so cool.
Oh, sweet.
Check me out.
Whoa. Sweet.
It's here! I got it!
Whoa!
No!
That must be the express version.
No-no-no-no, no-no-no-no!
Ahh!
Hold on! We're coming, Sierra.
There it is!
Drop the book, drop the book, Sierra.
You got this. We got you.
Here's the stinking book. Now get me down from here!
I'm on it. Okay.
Don't worry.
It's working!
Down, down, down! down-down-down-down...
Yes, we made it.
(panting)
Now time to see our escape clue.
Another old article.
"Dandy Bandit Mystery Thickens.
"In modern memory, no mystery has so singularly...
(newsman) ...captivated our town
"as the case of the Dandy Bandit's bank heist.
But now one clue has emerged from a local boy."
I was reading in the library last night
when I heard some noises.
I was so into my book that I ignored it.
But later when I finished, I found a wad
of $100 bills on the floor that said Gold Leaf Bank.
Are you saying that you were so lost in a book,
you didn't notice the Dandy Bandits behind you?
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Well, thanks, son.
Can you state your name for the record?
Yes, sir, Luigi L. Lemoncello.
(Kyle) Whoa, Mr. Lemoncello was in the library
when the bank was robbed.
That's right.
They say he could barely read.
And the librarian, Mrs. Tobin, let him stay late
so he could learn and eventually design all his cool games.
And check this out.
The letters spell "is the way."
It's just like our first clue except the word "is."
Huh. "The way is the way."
The way is the way to what, I wonder?
Let's go.
Our escape must have something to do
with the Dandy Bandits, right?
I know. I mean...
they've been in all of our clues.
(grumbling)
Dumb old clues, dumb old robbery.
So, they found an old book in a bank vault.
Who cares?
Whoa, not sharing clues much?
Mind your own business.
You know, I'm surprised you're all still in this.
Amazed more like it.
And it looks like most of your team is, as well.
Most of--
Where's Peckleman?! Mmm-mmm.
Um, well, the bad news is
I must've lost my glasses in that web.
But the good news is I found this canteen of water.
Anyone thirsty?
Ew! Sick.
Can I see your clue?
I didn't get a chance to earlier.
Not my problem. If you wanted to see it,
you should've been there when I got it.
I was trying to get reception.
Now let me see it.
Well, I would, but I accidentally
left it back in the children's section.
What? No, it's--
(sighs) I'll go get it.
(Kyle) Wait! Haley!
(beeping)
(music chimes)
You may not enter the same room twice.
You are disqualified.
What? But I didn't know.
Maybe you shouldn't have been selfieing
when I gave directions.
Yes, I know what selfies are.
No! Wait!
(snickering)
Well, that was oddly satisfying.
(crowd chattering)
(laughter)
(buzzer)
Wow...
Down to our final five.
Although I'm not so sure about Mr. Chiltington.
He's pretty borderline in my book at the moment.
(beeping) Oh, no, not another pig bug.
Wilbur from "Charlotte's Web"
is grazing on a day no pigs would die.
Oh, that is so unnatural.
Maybe it would be better if I went in to fix things manually?
Oh, by all means.
You know, perhaps the system is under a lot of strain.
I'm sorry I was a bit pigheaded earlier.
(laughing)
Sound the zinger alarm.
(laughing)
But I should really go. This could be quite bad.
Right.
Well, you'll excuse my team.
(grunting)
(Charles muttering)
So, where to now?
Akimi, would you like to do the honors?
Um, I choose...
fantasy.
They're going that way, come on.
What? Shush, Pickle.
I don't want them to hear us.
What? I'm having trouble hearing you without my glasses.
Hearing has nothing to do with your glasses.
Now, we're gonna follow them
and let them do the work for us.
Wait, isn't that cheating?
Our parents are right outside.
Maybe yours are, but mine aren't.
What? Why aren't they here?
It's none of your-- They just--
They had a prior engagement, okay?
Oh, sorry, Chilty.
You wanna talk about it?
No, I don't wanna talk about it.
And don't call me Chilty.
(beeping)
(loud thud)
Let's win this thing once and for all.
(gasps)
Oh, Dr. Zinchenko.
How are you?
We are definitely not cheating.
Just doing some mild maintenance.
Good day.
Sorry.
Okay. Let's do this.
Now, come on.
Move it, Pickle.
Whoa!
Cool.
Check it out.
(Sierra) Look, more fantasy books.
The entire first edition of all the Charles Dickens books.
Whoa, guys, look.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, wait for me!
(Kyle) Hey, guys, check out this bridge.
This is so cool.
Look at this place.
(music chimes)
Welcome to the Fantasy Forest.
To get your next escape clue,
you must cross Lemoncello Bridge.
There's the clue...
... hanging on what I'm guessing
is a giant beanstalk?
Yup, Jack and the Beanstalk.
Originally titled "The Story of Jack Spriggins
and the Enchanted Bean," 1734.
Thanks, Sierra, I got it.
(Dr. Zinchenko) Not cool, Wilbur.
Ooh, that is some pig! (cackling)
Now go back to the children's section.
(Sierra) You just have to cross?
Doesn't seem like much of a puzzle to me.
Hold up. Mr. Lemoncello would never make it that simple.
Well, well, well!
So you want to cross Lemoncello Bridge, do you?
How about we play a little game?
If you win, you may cross.
If I win, I introduce you
to the biggest friend I have,
the giant-- and boy, is he grumpy!
Say hello, giant.
(giant) Fee fi foh fum!
He's not exactly the smartest,
but he makes up for it in other ways.
What? There's a giant up there?
Shh! Pickle!
But enough about that.
Behold the troll board.
Oh! Oh!
Luigi L. Lemoncello.
Give me 16 words from these 16 letters
in 60 seconds, starting now.
Lemon. Cello.
(bell dings)
Lion. Eon.
Mole.
Leg. Elm. Oil.
One.
Uh... cell!
Oh, don't tell me that you're already stumped.
That's only ten words.
(giant) Yummy.
Patience, giant.
Their time will be up soon enough.
Okay, I can't stay here.
There's a big, huge, massive, enormous...
Giant. Why are you using lots of words
that all mean "giant" when you could just say "giant"?
Uh, mole. (buzzer)
(troll) You already said that! Right. Sorry.
(troll) You can't make the word "sorry" from those letters.
You're trying to cheat, eh?
(groaning) Stop.
If we move, we'll blow our cover.
We're staying. End of story.
(Kyle) Come on, guys, we're running out of time.
(Sierra) Come on.
(chatter)
Hmm.
Mmm!
Gross! Those were on the ground.
Lice. Glen.
That's 12.
Too bad you only have 15 seconds left.
(groaning)
These are pretty good. Kind of like croutons.
That's probably because they're stale.
Now, Kyle's team is about to lose
and you're ruining the moment.
(chatter)
(groaning) Think!
5, 4, 3, 2...
Go, long, melon, colonel! (bell dings)
Nice teamwork! You may cross Lemoncello Bridge.
Yes! Yes!
(groaning) I don't believe it!
How did you do that?
A whole lot of spelling bees.
All right. There's the next clue. Come on.
(troll) Careful out there, kids!
You never know what you might see!
(groaning)
Good fellow, have you seen any breadcrumbs laid about?
My sister and I have lost our way.
Oops. No.
Mm-mm.
It's just a few. Are you sure you haven't seen them?
Get out of here, will ya? Shoo!
You know what? That's it.
I am done waiting for these losers to lose.
(beeping)
It's time to win this thing.
What? How did you get that?
Whoa-hoa-hoa-hoa!
Like taking candy from a baby.
Sorry.
You stole it from Dr. Z?
I merely borrowed it,
the same way I merely borrowed these.
You had my glasses this whole time?
Yes. Now, let me concentrate.
This must do something.
(electronic feedback)
Oh, bingo, baby. Now we're talking.
(beeping)
(evil laughter)
Now, to fix this mess.
(gasps)
What?
Where's the golden key?
Let's go!
(beeping)
Whoa!
(cracking) (gasping)
What is that?
(screaming)
What? (giant roaring)
Oh!
You've gotta be kidding me!
(grunting)
What are you doing, Pickle?
(electronic buzzing)
(alarm)
This is definitely not terrific.
What just happened?
Oh! (beeping)
Dr. Z, we have a problem.
(gears whirring)
(hisses)
Stay close.
(honking)
(howling)
(growling)
What is going on?
(pig squealing) Aah!
Wilbur!
(Frankenstein) Dr. Z!
(groaning)
Oh, my... Frankenstein!
(screaming)
(whistling and buzzing)
What gives? It's broken.
The system must have overloaded.
They'll have to reboot it.
Time to power the system down.
Come on, baby, come on!
Oh, why isn't this working?
Oh! (gasping)
The other key!
The library operating system has been hijacked!
(music chimes) Look!
I'm not feeling so well.
(groaning)
(whimpering)
Chiltington! No! You're ruining everything!
¶¶
(howling)
(groaning) Aah!
(groaning)
(all gasping)
(witch cackling)
Whoa! Oh!
(Kyle) What is that?
(witch cackling)
(whimpering)
What is that?
(cackling)
Go! Now!
My hand isn't working.
Neither is mine.
(witch cackling)
(all shouting)
Pickle, over here. Get over here.
Hurry. Get down!
(all screaming)
(cackling)
Is that what I think it is?
Sure looks like it.
(witch cackling)
Stay down so she doesn't see us.
(witch cackling)
Go!
¶¶
Keep running!
Over here, underneath the stairs!
Get down, get down! Come on, she's coming!
(moaning)
I can't believe you did this, Peckleman.
Me? You did this. Me?
I would have sabotaged the other team just fine
if it wasn't for your stupid conscience kicking in.
(both gasping)
You ate our breadcrumbs!
I was hungry. I'm sorry.
Prepare to meet our wrath.
(both screaming)
Come on. Get them!
Hurry up, Pickle! Come on!
What happened to the main hall being the safe zone?
More like the danger zone. Duck!
Oh, children!
This is definitely not part of the game!
The library's gone haywire!
(growling)
Run, children, run!
Save yourselves! Get out of here!
Come on. Let's try the exit doors!
Okay. Go, go, go!
¶¶
Hurry, up, Pickle. (whimpering)
Come on. Come on, down here, down here.
(hissing)
(both screaming)
Come on, Pickle!
All right, Pickle, this way. Go, go, go!
Come on, Hansel.
Come on, come on. Let's go.
(Gretel) Teach you to eat my breadcrumbs. Ooh!
(Dracula hissing)
¶¶
They're jammed!
Stop! Don't pull those.
We'll lose the game if we go out that way.
Watch out, Chilty!
(shouting)
Time to say auf wiedersehen.
Don't you dare hurt them!
(relieved sighs)
That's my job.
(all screaming)
Here! Go in here!
Go, go, go, go, go!
(growling)
(all whimpering)
I think we've lost 'em.
Um, where are we?
No, no, no! Not the Imagination Room!
The room isn't ready for human interaction yet.
One thought could create a disaster!
I have to help them! Oh, my!
So, what are we supposed to do?
Just wait here until somebody finds us
and hope it's not some crazed literary character?
Shh!
(werewolf growling and sniffing)
Please, don't be the werewolf.
Don't be the werewolf. Quiet!
It's the werewolf.
I knew it. Look.
(growling)
There's a light.
Maybe it's another way out.
¶¶
What is it?
They're goggles. Maybe they're night vision
so I can see if there's another door.
I'm putting 'em on.
Wait, wait, don't do that.
(electronic sounds)
What the...
Where am I?
I don't think these are night vision goggles.
Whoa! A pterodactyl!
It kind of looks like my Scara--
Whoa!
(screaming)
Help me! Aah!
Oh! I'm on the top of a cliff!
Aah!
Oh! (computer voice) Transfer complete.
Come on. Let's go!
Coast is clear.
Come on. Keep your eyes open.
Hey, look, there's our clue from the Fantasy Forest.
It must have fallen out of my pocket.
Hey! No! No, give it!
Thanks. I did not expect that. Me either.
Me neither. Me neither.
Let's just move on, please.
"Dandy Bandits Mystery Solved!"
"It's taken a month, but the puzzle
nobody thought solvable is solved..."
The bandits thought to be led
by the infamous Leopold of Lali
used a secret tunnel to access
the ventilation system at the bank.
The entrance was here, hidden behind this grate.
This explains why we found a book in the vault
and cash in the library.
Good idea.
"In the way is the way."
Hmm.
Or is it, "The way is the way in"?
Uhh! This doesn't make any sense.
Wait.
You're missing one.
The answer is in this somewhere.
No way!
(all) "The way out is the way in."
Of course! We use the tunnel
the Dandy Bandits used to get into the bank
to get out of the library.
And that's what Mr. Lemoncello meant
when he told us to "shoo, shoo, shoo
just like the loplolly two."
Wow. Knowledge shared.
I guess that Tobin lady isn't such a moron. Nice!
So, now we just have to find the tunnel entrance
somewhere in this massive, massive library.
(clacking) Hey, do you guys hear that?
Shh! Quiet! They'll find us.
Wait. I know where the tunnel entrance is.
You do? Yes!
(clacking) Guys, seriously,
nobody else hears that?
Shh! Shh!
Quiet, Sierra! Quiet, Sierra!
I'd recognize that grate anywhere.
Thanks, Kyle.
(Peckleman) That's where I lost my glasses.
Great! Yep, it's a grate.
No, I mean... Never mind.
Where is it?
It's in the true crime section,
near the old vault door,
just a straight shot through... there.
(hissing and growling)
(squealing)
Okay, here's the plan.
Let's split up and try to lure them away.
(whimpering) I'm out of here.
Pickle, wait. I'm coming with you.
Come on, let's go!
¶¶
I told you I heard something!
¶¶
(screeching)
Keep running!
Wait a minute.
No more force field when we go into the books?
Must be because there was a malfunction.
That's got to be what keeps all these characters
stuck in their section. Exactly.
Without it, they roam free.
Let's hide in that barn until we're sure
that bird monster can't get through this door.
Right. Come on, hurry.
Pickle! Perfect! We're in the horror section.
Cool it, Pickle. We just need to wait it out
until that bird thing finds the nest.
(groaning)
Let's get out of here!
(horse bellows) Oh!
(gasping)
Aah! We're trapped! I also have arachnophobia!
Wait. Peckleman said
it's Charlotte from "Charlotte's Web."
Charlotte's one of the good guys.
We're safe. That's right, Kyle,
but Mother Goose found her way
into the martial arts section
and got her beak on some ninja gear.
Boy, is she on fire.
¶¶
Okay, kids, time for you to-- Oh! That's sharp.
I'm out of here.
"Escap"? "Escape," Kyle.
Good grief! Hurry!
(grunting)
See? My cards never fail.
(Mother Goose honking)
Oh, no! Run!
(Charlotte) Run for your lives!
Back to the library!
(witch muttering)
There they are. Keeley, over here, quickly!
(witch chuckling)
Smart thinking, Akimi.
Dehydration is one of the leading causes of death
when people are in emergency situations.
Great. Thanks, Sierra.
That makes me feel a lot better.
Have you seen the Scaradactyl? No.
Hopefully, it flew back into the nature section.
Or maybe it's just waiting for its chance
to swoop down and tear us apart.
Ah! (chuckling)
(witch muttering)
Uh, Akimi, why are you staring at her like that?
Does anyone remember the one thing
witches are afraid of?
Um, falling houses? Yes, that's right.
In the bestselling book,
"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,"
written by L. Frank Baum in 1900,
made into a motion picture in 1939,
directed by Victor Fleming and starring Judy Garland.
Not now, Sierra.
What can we do to get rid of that
in front of the grate?
H... 2... O.
Think about it. Witches are scared of water, right?
Yes. Please, work.
I've also got wiccaphobia.
Fear of witches.
You ready?
Let's do this.
And we... (laughing)
... can just watch from here.
Quick! Over here! Oh!
(growling)
You ready?
(cackling)
(grunts) Now!
(witch screaming)
(Akimi) I think I got her!
(screaming)
Ah!
(all screaming)
Run for the grate!
(Kyle) She's returning! Stay on her!
(grumbling) I think it worked!
(rumbling) What was that?
Who cares? Just keep pulling.
(rumbling)
You've got to be kidding.
¶¶
The giant's coming. Holy cow.
That is the biggest, largest,
most enormous-- Aah!
Get it off!
She's gone. You guys okay?
Get in. Let's go.
(giant) Fee fi foh fum...
Are you okay, Pickle? Yeah, I'm okay.
All right. Let's get out of here. Follow me.
Hang in there, kids.
Come on! Hurry!
Plus, I'm sure Sierra has claustrophobia.
How'd you know? Wild guess.
This is it. This is where they blew the floor
to get into the air duct.
Look, another grate.
"The way out is the way in."
Come on.
Let's go.
Okay. Come on!
(growling)
(heavy breathing)
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You saved me back there, Chilty.
Don't mention it.
Your parents will be proud.
Thanks, Peckleman.
Now, let's get out of here.
(groaning)
(chatter)
Stay close.
Oh, no. They've got us surrounded!
Hah! (all screaming)
Aah!
Mr. Lemoncello, it's you.
Of course. I'm always me.
And you're wearing a cat burglar outfit.
Follow me. I've got a splendiferocious plan.
Let's go.
They're gaining on us! We're almost there!
Come on, let's go! Hurry! They're getting away!
What are you doing?
I'm using what's left of the dynamite
the Dandy Bandits used to blow the tunnel into the bank.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
A saying likely originating from...
(all) Sierra! Sorry.
Now, everyone take cover! Go, go, go, go.
There they are!
(growling and hissing)
(coughing)
(Luigi) It worked!
That was...
(Dr. Zinchenko) Epic!
Dr. Z, you're okay!
I've actually been by myself in the library
for the past half hour
while everyone's been chasing you all.
I'm sorry for stealing the golden key.
Please don't kick me out.
Yes, well, it seems you've redeemed yourself.
Anyway, the good thing about being alone up here
was no one was able to stop me from retrieving the key.
No way!
Way! And as soon as Mr. L and I put both keys
into the control room rig, order will be restored and--
(all shouting)
Dr. Z! Are you all right?
Just splendiferous.
(Scaradactyl screeching) What in the world?
I don't recall seeing a creature
like that in any book.
That's because it's a Scaradactyl.
A Scaradactyl?
A dinosaur monster hybrid I created.
Watch out!
(all screaming)
I knew that Imagination Room was a bad idea.
Get to safety! We'll hold off this beast!
But I created her! This is my responsibility.
My fault. Kyle, a great imagination is never a fault.
Now, go! (whimpering)
(all shouting)
Go, now!
(Scaradactyl growling)
Let's go! Come on!
Come on, Kyle. We have to go now!
But...
Watch out for her talons and her beak.
Her tail is her weak spot.
Thank you, Kyle.
Until we meet again.
¶¶
You've messed with the wrong librarian, young lady!
(Scaradactyl growling) Aah!
This is it! We did it!
Come on.
(groaning)
And it's locked. Of course. Oh, come on!
(music chimes)
Mrs. Tobin?
Yes! I kicked that troll's butt!
(clears throat)
In order to escape, you must deduce
the word combination to open this door.
Your hint is, once you learn how to do this,
you will be forever free. You have four minutes.
Come on. Can't you just open it?
I'm just a hologram.
(Kyle) This is my fault.
(Dad) Kyle, you're gonna have to start
taking responsibility for your actions.
(Luigi) Thank you, Kyle. Until we meet again.
Kyle, what are you doing?
Going to save my hero.
Now, let's get this puzzle solved, shall we?
Okay. Um...
(growling) (both screaming)
(Kyle) Not so fast!
Kyle, you came back!
With red balloons? Oh! (screeching)
Easy, girl. Easy, girl.
Very clever, using red balloons
to get her attention, just like a bull fighter.
¶¶
In a way, yes.
You know how you always say to be one step ahead?
When it comes to Scaradactyls,
it's best to be one step... behind.
(roaring)
(both whimpering)
Bottoms up!
The balloons are lifting her up.
Wait, how is that working? That doesn't make any sense.
That's the fun of using your imagination.
(clinking)
(Dr. Zinchenko) My key!
(roaring)
How about "dream"?
No, "dream" is five letters.
Learn how to read, dude.
"Read." Not a bad idea, Chiltington. Kyle!
Think about it. Every puzzle has led us closer to freedom,
and the only reason we could solve them
was because of books and poems and stories
that we were able to read.
Yeah. Like "Romeo and Juliet."
And "Charlotte's Web."
And "Grimm's Fairy Tales."
And even "Humpty Dumpty."
(all laughing) Precisely!
Reading set me free all my life
and it's gonna set us all free now.
"R"...
(all) "E"...
"A"...
"D"!
"Read"!
(all cheering)
Yes!
(laughter)
Let's escape this library once and for all.
3, 2, 1...
¶¶
(cheers and applause)
And so, because the obstacles you all faced
were greater than I ever could have imagined,
and because you all faced them together,
as a team, it is my splendiferous pleasure
to declare you all winners!
I present to you the official spokespeople
of everything Lemoncello!
(cheers and applause)
I'm happy to report everything's been contained.
¶¶
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to take a much-needed vacation.
(laughing)
Dad! Can you believe it?
(chatter)
Hey, Chilty, need a ride?
Thanks, Pickle.
You're all dirty. Yeah.
Kyle, I've created
all sorts of games in my time,
but never in a million years would I have dreamed
of something like a Scaradactyl
that could be defeated by balloons.
That was genius, not to mention you showed
some serious boberious banana-fana foderious
leadership skills in there.
That's why I'd like to offer you
a summer job at my library,
assuming, of course, your parents approve.
Of course, son. I'm proud of you.
We all are.
That's the coolest thing ever!
Thunderific, Kyle. You can start next week.
Until then,
why don't you hold on to this for me?
Whoa!
One last thing.
Remember to always be one step a...
