02:09there are

02:12the

02:15and the

02:20the

02:27the

02:28the

02:30the

02:31the

02:33Wait, I don't do that.

02:40I don't do that.

03:03Destiny. Destiny's powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it's up to me to lie in it.

03:28I am destined to be a superhero, to right wrongs, and pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evildoers everywhere.

03:37You don't fight destiny. No, sir.

03:40And you don't eat crackers in the bed of your future, or you get all... scratchy.

03:46Hey, I'm narrating here.

03:49They've assigned me a city. My mission? To free it from the ravages of evil and supervillainy, so its citizens may sleep easy, secure in the knowledge that they are protected.

04:04The city. My, the city. It cries to me of its need.

04:14Excuse me.

04:16Arthur?

04:21Yes, Mr. Wiederspan?

04:23Arthur, I'm afraid the firm feels that it's time to allow you the opportunity to pursue other avenues of employment.

04:32I'm fired? Is there a problem with my work?

04:35Oh, no, Arthur. No, it's, it's, it's... It's that stupid bunny outfit.

04:41Oh, no. Not bunny, sir. Moth. It's my moth suit. Actually, it's a flying suit. The wings are in my briefcase.

04:49Arthur, you're making the other accountants nervous. We all find this kind of rampant individuality very disturbing.

04:58I know you think I'm crazy, Mr. Wiederspan, but I'm not. It's just, ever since I found this suit, I've felt strange new needs, urges. I can't live this life a moment longer. Somewhere out there, a destiny of adventure and excitement waits for me. Accounting is a fine skill to fall back on, but the road less traveled, much less traveled. The moth suit on Wings Road is a lot more exciting than taxes.

05:27and taxes!

05:38City! It is I, the tick... your destined defender. Show me where it hurts.

05:45Tall.

05:48Oh, there's crime here. I can smell it. I can taste it.

06:09So shall I begin my first patrol of the city with one giant leap.

06:18Soon, they will know me. Soon, they will need me.

06:27Well, great. Now I'm unemployed. How am I going to find adventure and excitement when I can't even cover my expenses?

06:40And double flip! Aha! I'll bounce off that flagpole and flip to safety. Aha!

06:48I'll bounce off that broad, flat surface.

06:51If I don't eat out and reverse my underwear to get an extra day.

06:55Or maybe not.

07:02Gravity is a harsh mistress.

07:05Are you all right?

07:06I'm fine. I'm a superhero. I'm nigh invulnerable. I'm built for this kind of thing. Nice outfit.

07:13A superhero?

07:15Known to evildoers everywhere as the Tick.

07:18I'm Arthur. Known to taxpayers everywhere as the Accountant. I'm looking for adventure.

07:23Hmm. Come have lunch with me, Arthur. Adventure will follow.

07:27Why would they send a superhero of my caliber to a place like this?

07:44Oh, I'm not sure this city even needs a champion.

07:48So, you're a superhero, huh? And what sort of costume is that supposed to be?

07:52Costume? No costume, friend. I am simply the Tick.

07:57Well, you can't be the Tick. Ticks are arachnids. They got eight legs.

08:02How do you know I don't?

08:03Ticks suck blood. Do you suck blood?

08:06Uh, yeah. I suck blood all the time.

08:09Yeah, right.

08:10Look, I got a straw right here, pal. You want a demonstration?

08:12Uh, no, no. No, no, thanks. No.

08:18An explosion.

08:19Come, Arthur. Evil is a foot.

08:21A foot? That's funny.

08:23I have only seconds to shed my everyday disguise.

08:25This looks like a job for...

08:27There's somebody in here.

08:30Occupied.

08:32This looks like a job for...

08:34The Caped Chameleon!

08:35They've got guns.

08:49This is definitely illegal.

08:52Help!

08:53Arthur, do you fly?

08:55My wings are in my briefcase.

08:57Back at the diner. I'll go get them.

08:59No time, chub!

09:00Whoa!

09:01I think I'll just lie down here for a second.

09:17Criminals!

09:18You face the sworn protector of this fair city!

09:22You face...

09:23The Tick!

09:27Speak up!

09:28I can't understand a word you're saying through those stupid masks.

09:31The Tick!

09:32The Nunciate!

09:40We...

09:40Can't...

09:41Do...

09:42Plan!

09:43The Desk!

09:51Are we dead yet?

09:53Far from it, Arthur.

09:54We have them on the run.

09:58Onward!

09:59Hey, cool. They got a blimp.

10:06That was the scene today at the Reeve-Droit Bank

10:09as the mysterious gang known as The Idea Men struck again,

10:13continuing their terrible crime wave.

10:16It was the sixth time in as many days

10:18that the baffling criminals have descended from the sky

10:21to literally lift the city's most valued assets.

10:24But today their nefarious plot was thwarted

10:27by an heroic blue stranger.

10:29Hey, cool. They got a blimp.

10:32Our modest blue benefactor exited the scene without comment.

10:36The Idea Men Menace is far from over, says Mayor Blank.

10:40In fact, we have reason to believe that these criminals

10:43have been merely practicing for a much larger caper.

10:46We'll have more on this story as it develops.

10:48Meanwhile, on a lighter note, clowns.

10:53I always have trouble with these keys.

10:57Well, this is my place. What do you think?

10:59It's great! It looks just like an apartment.

11:03Where's your secret headquarters trigger?

11:04Is this it?

11:05No, wait!

11:06You know, the trigger.

11:08Like a statue or a candlestick that you twist

11:10and then everything flips over

11:11and all your crime-busting equipment pops out?

11:13This is it, right?

11:14No!

11:16What does your sofa turn into?

11:18Your sonar radar perimeter to the fence you?

11:20No!

11:20It turns into a bed.

11:23Please, this is just an apartment.

11:25It is?

11:26Yes, yes!

11:28Well, this place is going to take a lot of work

11:30if it's going to be our superhero headquarters.

11:32No!

11:33No?

11:33Oh, I don't know.

11:34I just don't know if I'm ready for this.

11:36Too much excitement.

11:37Too much adventure.

11:38I think I'm going crazy.

11:40You're not going crazy, Arthur.

11:42You're going sane in a crazy world.

11:45Some people are destined for greater things.

11:48Arthur, you are one of those people.

11:51You can't hide from it.

11:53You've got to hug it.

11:54Hug your destiny, Arthur!

11:57Hug it.

11:59Uh-huh.

12:01Well, I think I'll just sleep on it, okay?

12:04That's fine, my small friend.

12:05You rest up, and I will monitor the culture.

12:08Taste Me.

12:10That's Drama Flakes' Tasty Challenge.

12:13Attractive, successful people love Drama Flakes.

12:17Guaranteed to make your life more dramatic and eventful

12:20with every golden spoon pill.

12:22Just listen to them get an earful.

12:29Good evening.

12:30This is Sally Vacuum with a special report.

12:32I'm here at the City Hydroelectric Plant.

12:34Apparently, the notorious Idea Men have taken the city dam hostage.

12:39Although, we can't understand a word they're saying.

12:42Uh-huh.

12:43What?

12:44I'm sorry.

12:45We didn't get that.

12:47What's the thing about that?

12:48Good heavens.

12:50They're going to flood the city.

12:53Arthur, get up.

12:54The city calls upon her steadfast protectors.

12:57What?

12:58This looks like a job for Bi-Polar Bear.

13:02But I just can't seem to get out of bed this month.

13:05This looks like a job for Captain Clemming!

13:12Come on, Spine.

13:13Work with me.

13:14Uh-uh.

13:15Excuse me, Miss.

13:16I've got to change my outfit.

13:18This looks like a job for the human bullet.

13:20Fire me, boy!

13:21Get those wings on, Arthur.

13:25Uh, this isn't such a good idea.

13:27The wings.

13:27Put them on.

13:28I'm not so good at this.

13:29You'll get better.

13:29I've never flown before.

13:32Not a problem.

13:34No.

13:35No.

13:36No.

13:36Change my mind.

13:38Wanna come down.

13:39It's your destiny, Arthur.

13:41Hug it!

13:42I'm very frightened.

13:54No, Arthur.

13:55You're very flying.

13:58You see?

13:58No more doubting yourself.

14:01Now, on to the death.

14:03We have work to do.

14:04Oh, my God.

14:06We're all out of roofs.

14:25What happens now?

14:31Wow.

14:32Wow.

14:34All out of roofs, eh?

14:36Uh, yeah.

14:37Guess so.

14:38Deflator Mouse.

14:39I should have known you'd be out tonight.

14:42Well, if it isn't American-made, the world's most patriotic domestic.

14:46This looks like a job for Deflator Mouse, not some mop squeezer.

14:51Why don't you go scrub out a toilet somewhere?

14:53Why don't you go smell up some cave?

14:56People!

14:57People!

14:57There's a dam about to blow up!

15:00We should team up and use all our resources to battle this evil!

15:03Team up?

15:04I'm not going to team up with her.

15:05There's that fear of commitment again.

15:08Ooh, listen to Miss Intimacy here.

15:10Jerk.

15:11Jingoist.

15:12Rabbit goon.

15:13Clean freak.

15:13Nerf.

15:14Ice cream.

15:14Some people just shouldn't be in this business.

15:17La, la, la, la, la.

15:18To the dam!

15:19But how?

15:20We'll figure it out.

15:22Are so incredibly immature.

15:24Sticks and stones, baby.

15:25Amateurs.

15:26None of them really know how to handle evil.

15:30This looks like a job.

15:32For Big Shot.

15:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

15:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

15:47The mayor is just now arriving,

15:49and it looks like he's brought the ransom money.

15:52Mayor Blank,

15:52are you actually going to give in to the idea men's criminal demands?

15:56Well, Sally,

15:57let me put it this way.

15:59How well can you swim?

16:00Ha, ha, ha, ha.

16:01But seriously, we have no choice.

16:03They have our dam, and no force on Earth can stop them now.

16:13Let's see, 15% of...

16:15Arthur! Onward!

16:17Oh, just keep the change.

16:23Arthur!

16:25Seconds from now, the mayor will hand over a briefcase

16:28containing 10 million municipal dollars.

16:31The biggest ransom ever paid in the city's history.

16:54Look!

16:55They must have gotten their money.

17:02They got their money, and they're still going to blow up the dam.

17:08They got their money, and they're still going to blow up the dam.

17:17Oh, no fair.

17:19Okay, idea man.

17:30What's the big idea?

17:33Well, we thought we'd steal a lot of money,

17:36and then we'd be rich, and we wouldn't have to work anymore.

17:40You can't!

17:41Now turn off your valve!

17:43We can't.

17:44Once it's activated, it can't be shut off.

17:52What are you doing?

17:54Shh!

17:55I'm defusing it.

17:56Guns and superheroes don't mix.

18:15Seek professional help.

18:18My goodness!

18:19I'm a walking time bomb!

18:21Get out of my way!

18:22Why didn't you love me, Mom?

18:25Come on.

18:55I guess we saved the city.

19:00For the moment, yes, my friend.

19:01But with luck, our future holds still more dire threats, more perilous plots.

19:07Wherever villainy rears its great big head, wherever evil sets its giant ill-smelling foot, you will find the tick.

19:16Oh, and Arthur, he's a sidekick.

19:21Good show.

19:22And yes, my sidekick, Arthur.

19:24Certainly a force to be reckoned with.

19:27And so, may evil beware.

19:29And may good dress warmly and eat plenty of fresh vegetables.

19:34I'm okay.

19:35I'm okay.

19:36I'm okay.

19:37I'm okay.
