[ Birds chirping ]

[ Railroad crossing tolling ]

[ Hydraulics hiss ]

What are you gonna do when I'm at game design camp?

Die of boredom probably?

Ugh. Yes!

Way to abandon me in my time of need.

Sorry, Mikayla, but Oshkosh calls.

I'm the coding hero Wisconsin needs.

[ Chuckles ] I don't think they want their coding hero

to stink up the whole state with her onion breath.

[ Chuckling ] Hey! It's not my fault

I have a sophisticated palette.

You have a gross palette.

I think I'm gonna work on my game some more before I leave.

I wanna code those other nerds into the ground.

I thought your game was cool when I played it.

And you know how I feel about video games.

-You hate them. -[ Imitating ] I hate them.

But I like yours.

So...

When your dad picks you up for visits,

does he come in and talk to your mom?

[ Geese squawking ] Uh, yeah, sometimes.

I guess it's weird to see your parents

talking to each other now.

What do you mean weird?

[ Crow cawing ] Well, 'cause, you know...

They're not married anymore,

and everything is different.

It's fine.

Lots of people's parents are divorced.

Y'know...[exhales sharply] I better hurry home and pack.

I-I-I'll see you on Monday. -Oh, okay. Bye!

Text me when you're at camp!

You'll do great!

[ Door closes ] Tulip.

Tulip, it's your dad. We need to talk to ya.

Nahhh, she went upstairs.

I don't know, Andy, what do you wanna do?

[ Sighs heavily ]

Okay, game, you're supposed to be working but watch,

I'll press play and you're just gonna die.

[ Game blips, groans ]

[ Jingling ]

[ Exhales sharply ] See, that's not right!

[ Gasps ]

[ Keys clacking ] [ Game groans ]

[ Gasps ] Look at you!

You're moving around now!

Don't ever change.

Thanks, "Coding is Cool" guy!

[ Deep voice ] "Why, thank you, Tulip.

For with your purchase of my book,

I can finally afford to have this ferret

removed from my face."

Megan: [ Distantly ] Tulip! Can you come down here, please?

[ Groans loudly ]

Yeah? [ Sighs deeply ]

Tulip, I'm so sorry, but your dad can't take you to camp.

What?! What do you mean?! You -- ugh.

You said if I brought my grade up in English I could go!

You -- You -- You and Dad signed a contract and everything.

I-I know, Bud.

But your dad mixed up the dates

and planned a work trip out of town.

Okay, well, then why don't you take me?!

I have a 12-hour shift at the hospital tonight

and then another shift on Sunday.

I thought you'd be gone the whole time.

What, so you're both too busy to be my parents? Hey!

You guys are the ones whose divorce

keeps messing everything up, not me!

This isn't fair! No, it isn't fair!

But it was an accident.

And your dad and I are still trying to figure this out.

I know, we're not very good at it yet.

Good at what? Good at being divorced?

Tulip, I just mean scheduling.

What schedule?! It's two of you and one kid!

It's not that hard!

Ngh. Fine. Whatever.

I can't go. Tulip, wait!

Let's talk about this! No!

I'm going back to my game.

[ Groans loudly ]

[ Strains ]

[ Exhaling sharply ]

[ Sniffling ]

[ Cellphone buzzing ] [ Exhales sharply ] Huh?

[ Buzzing continues ]

[ Cellphone beeps ] Hmm.

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

300 miles is not "a quick hop."

[ Brakes hiss ]

Oh! Well, that's lucky.

[ Music whomping ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Grunts ]

What the -- Ugh.

Did I just hallucinate a train station?

Well, that's...boring.

"Tulip, we missed you at game design camp!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't quite make it

because I decided to fall asleep in a field

and dream about outdated modes of transportation!"

[ Groans ]

[ Both screaming ]

Glad-One: [ British accent ] Are you my mum? W-What?! What? Am I what?

Are you my mum? Nooo!

Sad-One: So you've come to bring me the sweet release of death?

Also no? Are you a toy?

You have really good speech recognition.

Glad-One: I'm looking for my mother.

I don't know what she looks like, though.

She might be large...

Sad-One: Or small, like a nurturing bagel.

Are you looking for your bagel mother, too?

No. Definitely not.

Not my dad, either.

[ Exhales sharply ] Weird toy.

Glad-One: So what are you looking for?

I'm not looking for anything.

I'm going to Oshkosh. -Is that your home?

It's where game design camp is.

Sad-One: So you're going alone? Yes.

Glad-One: Without your parents?

I don't need them to get there!

Now go back to being a snowman

or a -- whatever you are!

Sad-One: Oh, my gosh. What am I?

Uuuuuugghhh--oooooh?

[ Scoffs ] North St. Paul kids probably built this.

Glad-One: That door is impossible to open.

Sad-One: The only way out is through hypothermia.

Pfffft.

[ Grunts ]

This...is the train?

I'm on a big train! Like a --

Like a really weird big train?!

Glad-One: You can reach doorknobs?!

How does this door work? Are -- Are you like a real robot?

Are there other people on here? [ Gasps ]

Is this what trains are like? Yes!

Yes to what? Which? I 'unno.

Wait. What's in the next train car?

Sad-One: It'll probably be disappointing...

Wooooooww!

Oh...hmm. Well...

Called it.

I wonder what this room's for.

[ Dings ]

Whoa-hoah! Back to being impressed!

[ Binging up octave ]

Hop! Hip! Hoop! Hoop!

[ Sliding up the scale ]

[ Sliding down the scale ]

[ Random notes ] Hop, hop, hipe, hoop, hop.

Sad-One: Are you building a coffin?

I-It's a character from my game.

I call it "Good Guys Poppin' Bad Guys."

It's the best game I've ever made.

Glad-One: How many games have you made? One.

[ Gasps ] You're joking.

That's kind of a weird thing to joke about.

That's my name!

I'm One! -One...

And that's kind of a weird name to have.

Unlike my name, which is Tulip and is perfectly normal.

Oh, you know I'm getting up there!

[ Grunts ] [ Bings ]

Ha-ha!

[ Music jingles ]

Aah! W-What's this?!

[ Gears screeching ]

[ Clatters ]

[ Air hisses ]

One-One?

Do you know what Wisconsin looks like?

Glad-One: All right, hold on. Lemme think.

I wanna say it looks like...

this? No.

This is not Wisconsin.

[ Ominous music plays ]

[ Thunder crashes ]

Okay.

[ Shouts ]

[ Explosion ]

Wahhhh!

Ahhhh! What happened to that guy?!

Sad-One: You're in kind of a bad place right now.

I'm not -- Oh!

I don't want to be on this train anymore!

Glad-One: Wait! Are you my mum?

I forgot what you said last time.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Panting ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Swishing ] Huh?

[ Grunting ]

[ Straining ]

[ Hums Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax" ]

What are you singing?! Sad-One: It's a wacky

getting-chased song. -I made it up.

[ Panting ]

[ Strains ] -[ Squeaking ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Whirring ]

[ Straining ]

Ahh!

[ Panting, shouting ]

[ Discordant tones ]

[ Slides down scale ]

[ Random notes ] No, no, no, no!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Ahhhh!

[ Shouting ]

Glad-One: I can help, Ms. Tulip. [ Pops ]

Ahh! You can do that?

Ahhhh! Ahh!

[ Panting ]

Gimme a wall!

[ Notes slide along scale ]

Alright, Good Guy, pop that bad guy!

[ Whines ]

Uhhhhh, Bad Guy's turn! [ Grunts ]

One-One, how's that wall?!

Glad-One: Well, it's more of a house instead of a wall.

Sad-One: Do you want me to start over?

I'll just start over. -No!

Don't start over! [ Panting, shouts ]

[ Shouting ]

Sad-One: I forgot to make a roof.

Glad-One: Is that weird for a house -- no roof?

[ Panting ]

This place has some stuff that's okay about it,

and some stuff that could be better.

[ Exhales deeply ]

There have to be a way off this train

that won't kill me.

Okay, everything has rules.

E-E-Even crazy things have their own logic.

It's a train, right?

Trains have conductors.

One-One, is there a conductor?

Please tell me you know the answer.

Conductor? Hmm...

I think we have one of those.

Sad-One: But he would most likely be at the engine.

[ Ominous music plays ]

I'm getting off this train.
