Beautiful Butterfly[]
Balloon: Aaaand voila!
Balloon: Now I mean it when I say... YOU’RE A BUTTERFLY!
Bot: Oh, you guys think the side-adjusts are too on-the-nose?
Nickel: With all due respect, screw us! It only matters what YOU think! So...
[Nickel gives Bot a hand mirror]
Bot: It's so... ME! WOW! I...
[Bot spins around at their reflection]
Bot: I can't thank you both enough!
Balloon: Hey. The Looney Balloonies ALWAYS stick together!
Balloon and Bot: LOONEY BALLOONIES!
Nickel: Looney Balloonies, yeah. Hm. Well, sticking together does include the votes. So, no more going rogue on us? Okay?
Bot: (In the Calm-Down Cabana) At the last vote, my alliance wanted to take out Paintbrush for being the “biggest threat.” But they’ve always been so supportive of me!... I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
Nickel: If we want a Looney Balloonie final three, we need to make like butterflies and flap in unison! So if you have any other ideas, speak up, okay?
Silver Spoon: SPEAK UP I WILL!!
File Flipping[]
Silver Spoon: See? I TOLD you! Those nincompoops want to go to the final three! WITHOUT US!!
Candle: Yes, Silver, final three doesn’t typically include five people.
Silver Spoon: Ugh. Perhaps our flip WAS a dunce decision!... Maybe we could flip again! Oh, but what if THEY flip?
[DING!]
Silver Spoon: Ahhhhh. Can- can I have that...?
Candle: (Chuckles) Over my dead body.
Silver Spoon: Uph!
Candle: As impenetrable as these three appear, there’s a history here... ominous... tainted... And I have a feeling, somewhere, that information is... on file.
Nickel: WAHHH! BABY HOST!
Balloon: (Chuckles)
An Anniversary Special[]
MePhone: Congratulations on making it to the final seven. Truly a historic milestone! And you know what else is historic? Our official ANNIVER-
The Floor: ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL!! Woo! Been looking forward to this one.
MePhone: Ah, the REAL historic milestone. Being rudely interrupted by my assistant! How nostalgic.
Yin: Well, in the spirit of interrupting-
Yang: YES! You got this, Yin!
Yin: It is not fair that you took away our immunity votes, and left us with NOTHING!
Silver Spoon: Oh, boo-hoo, no more PERMANENT SHIELD! Well, might as well say your goodbyes now! Tonight is a FOREGONE CONCLUSION!
MePhone: Wait... that’s boring too. Uh... WELL, to go with the coveted Immunity Cookie, we have... The Immunity MILK!™
Nickel: Oh no. Heh. Is this immunity from his lactose-intolerance?
[Everyone laughs]
MePhone: Noooot exactly. If Yin-Yang chooses to chug this milk before the votes are read, any votes against them will NOT count!
Cabby and Silver Spoon: (Gasp)
Candle: Gasp...
MePhone: It can only be used once this season, IF you earn it.
Yin: IF??
MePhone: Now Yin, you think you’ve been treated unfairly. And if you can get juuust ONE other person today to agree with you - that you deserve this - then it’s all yours!
Yang: W-well! I, Yang, agree with Yin! THE MILK IS MINE!
MePhone: One OTHER other person. Anyone?
Silver Spoon: Chhh. Oooo. I'd be careful... There’s only one other target left and it rhymes with Stabbyyy.
[Cabby rolls slowly]
Yang: Whatever, what a DUMB FAKE advantage! You’re just taking stuff from your fridge, and calling it silly names!
MePhone: Hey, you take that back!
MePhone: (To The Floor) Ya got any “Apology Asparagus” in there?
The Floor: Sorry mate. Best. Job. EVEEER!
MePhone: Alright, everyone follow me!
A File On Good Manners[]
Silver Spoon: Rolly One! I have a proposition for you!
Cabby: Ooooh. Like the last time we worked together. And you voted me out. And then flipped on our alliance. And-
Silver Spoon: MY, I see SOMEONE hasn’t reviewed the file on good manners I gave them. And, speaking of files... if you can provide me with one more, I’ll... Convince my alliance to take out Yin-Yang instead of you tonight. Hm?
Cabby: Well... it looks like I have more files than I do options. What'll it beee?
The Challenge Pt 1[]
Balloon: Oh, C'MON! Our challenge is to cliff jump?... AGAIN?!
MePhone: N- NO! It's not JUST the cliff. This time around, you must land onto this super sturdy and totally up-to-code trampoline. You'll use that to launch yourself over this obstacle wall!...
[There is no wall]
MePhone: Uh, ASSISTANT?
The Floor: A wall? Uhhh... don't you want me to play to my strengths?
MePhone: Don't you want to get out of your comfort zone? Cause you're certainly taking me out of mine!
The Floor: Uh- one wall, coming up!
[The Floor makes the wall]
MePhone: Yeah, THAT wall! And land into the safety tube on the other side. Everyone who sticks the landing will move onto the second phase of this challenge, which I'll get to later. Aaand START!
[The alliance consisting of Bot, Balloon, Candle, Nickel and Silver Spoon huddle]
Nickel: Ugh, this one looks tough. I hope we can all make it, cause, we can't let Cabby or Yin-Yang win!
Bot: If I've learned anything from this morning, it's that teamwork, makes the dream work.
Balloon: That's RIGHT, so all we need to do is stick togeth-
Candle: We should STICK to what worked last time of course! We've all completed this challenge before, and MePhone loves his nostalgia.
[Candle grabs Silver Spoon's arm]
Silver Spoon: Wha- What are you doing!?
Candle: STILL no faith?
[Candle and Silver Spoon jump off and land on the trampoline, which launches them over the wall and in the safety tube]
Balloon: Wow, history DOES repeat itself. Silver and Candle. Prioritizing... themselves.
[Cabby looks sadly as she rolls away slowly]
Yin: Cabby, come on! Raise up your head and give me your milk blessing!!
Cabby: Oh! I- I will, just don't want to do it in front of everyone. Keep 'em guessing, ya'know?!
[In Calm Down Cabana]
Cabby: I... CAN'T give it to them. As much as I would like to help my sole ally in this game, it would completely seal my fate. So, they need to go. And then... I'll be alone again. It's what I do best.
[Outside]
Yang: I'm glad I can still trust you, Cabby! Unlike Candle.
Yin: First she was with us, then she wasn't. It was an emotional rollercoaster!
Cabby: Well... if you'd like a smoother ride... then may I present... Da da da da~ THE CAB!!
Yin: Ooh, our own personal taxi service! Thanks Cabby! Have I mentioned how much I trust you?!!
[Yin-Yang gets in The Cab. Them and Cabby roll down the cliff. They bounce and hit the wall, and fall into the quicksand]
Bot: Pfft. He CLEARLY hasn't read my cab review... One star was QUITE generous.
[Yang throws a ball of sand at The Floor's face]
Nickel: Hey! You ok, bud?
Balloon: O- OH, yeah! Sorry. Heh. It's just... Silver and Candle have NEVER listened to me. I guess I'm worried, at a certain point... you both will start doing the same.
Nickel: Look, Balloon... I'm not going anywhere. I'm telling you, we get to the final five with THEM, it's three versus two, it's a LOCK! We just need to bridge the gap here.
Bot: ...Bridge the gap. Ooo, idea!
[Bot launches their mechanical legs to the top of the wall]
Balloon: WHOA! That's genius, Bot!
[Bot retracts their legs]
Bot: WOOHOO! It's exactly what you hoped, Nickel, we did it!
Nickel: Wait... it WAS.
[FLASHBACK]
Nickel In Flashback: I hope we can all make it, cause, we can't let Cabby or Yin-Yang win.
[END OF THE FLASHBACK]
Present Nickel: That's it... I need to know. BALLOON, GRAB ON!!
[Balloon grabs Nickel and they jump. Nickel launches himself away from the tube]
Balloon: Huh?!
[Yang throws another ball of sand and The Floor sneezes. That launches Nickel back into Balloon's hands]
Nickel: Oh, C'MON!!
Balloon: H- hey! That's my line. Oh and, WHAT WAS THAT??
Nickel: A test... and I passed.
The Challenge Pt 2[]
Candle: Before our opponents arrive... were you able to... secure the goods?
Silver Spoon: Nickel's FIRST best friend.
[Silver Spoon pulls out Cabby's file on Baseball]
Silver Spoon: It's all in here... and it seems the two were separated, because...
Candle: Balloon went rogue on them. ANOTHER day of betrayal may be upon us.
[Nickel, Balloon, and Bot fly out of the pipe and land on the iceberg]
MePhone: SEE?! I told you it wasn't just the cliff! You five have officially made it to the second stage... the GLADSTONIAN GLACIER! You may recognize this from the premiere of our second season.
Silver Spoon: Where... Baseball is right now.
MePhone: Last one standing wins immunity! And remember, all shoving, kicking, and horseplay is not only allowed, but encouraged! If you touch the water, you're out. Aaaaand go!
Silver Spoon: FIRST THINGS FIRST!
[Silver Spoon kicks Balloon off of the glacier. Balloon screams as he flies off]
Nickel: Lot of hesitation, HUH!?
Candle: Nickel, please. We're just trying to protect you.
Nickel: ...From what?
Bot: From my inevitable victory I'd assume!
[Bot extends their leg to kick Nickel, and Candle catches Nickel]
Candle: I think it's time to follow Bot's own advice. After all, teamwork...
Nickel: Makes the dream work!
[Bot extends their leg to kick Nickel and Candle, but Silver Spoon grabs it and pins it to the ground]
Bot: Oh there's more where that came from! HI-YAH!
[Bot extends their other leg to kick Candle, but Candle is caught by Silver Spoon. Nickel kicks Bot off of the iceberg]
[Bot extends their legs into the water to catch themselves]
Bot: Phew!
Great Idea[]
[Yin-Yang throws a ball of sand at The Floor's face]
The Floor: Can you, like... stop that, please?
Yin: So much for a smooth ride! We want a refund!
Yang: I know sabotage when I see it, it's one of my favorite things!
Cabby: I admit it. It was selfish, manipulative... everything that Test Tube accused me of being. But the fact is, it's either you or me tonight.
Yang: I... I understand... but only because I LOVE sabotage!
The Floor: Ohh! It's so sad it's come to this! I wish there was another way...
Cabby: Wait... maybe it doesn't have to be you or me... what if it was you AND me? We can milk that advantage for all its worth! And maybe, save us both! Hey MePhone!!
The Floor: I'm proud of you two! A crack was forming, and you both saw it and patched it up, before it was too late!
[A crack forms in the wall]
Back to The Challenge[]
[Candle, Silver Spoon, and Nickel are standing on the iceberg]
Nickel: So, uh, a little awkward after that grand display of teamwork, but... time to duke it out!
Candle: Betrayal is inevitable in this game. You and... Baseball... know that better than any of us.
Silver Spoon: We just had no idea that Balloon was the reason for your separation. And all of a sudden, you two are just... "buddy-buddy"?
Nickel: Well.. Baseball always wanted us to get along. And- and if I had just listened, maybe... maybe things could've been different.
Candle: And you're willing to bank your entire game on that? On a person that voted you out, severed you from your best friend...
Silver Spoon: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...
Nickel: Shame on me... I guess none of it's real, anyway...
Silver Spoon: What's not?
Nickel: ANY of these relationships! What I "hope" happens... it happens. It's this lousy luck.
Silver Spoon: The LUCK that's kept you in the game, that's won us multiple challenges-
Nickel: The LUCK'S done all of that, not ME! I mean, why are you two approaching ME to team up over anyone else? Yeah... just a feeling, huh?
[Cut to Yin-Yang and Cabby in the quicksand]
Yin: Yes! I have a FEELING this will work! Great plan, Cabby!
Yang: Oh, this is so exciting, I could just THROW something!
[Yang chucks another ball of sand at The Floor]
The Floor: AAAH!
[The crack on the wall gets bigger]
[Cut back to Candle, Silver Spoon, and Nickel on the iceberg]
Nickel: No, really, this is IT! I am sick of this!
[Cut to a shot of the crack on the wall getting bigger]
Cabby: Oh dear.
[Cut back to Candle, Silver Spoon, and Nickel on the iceberg]
Nickel: I am officially DONE being the only one who can win cause I'm stuck with this STUPID LUCK!
[The wall breaks and falls through the pipe, crushing Nickel and sending Candle and Silver Spoon flying into the water]
Dramatic Finish[]
MePhone: And the challenge is over, with a dramatic finish to-boot! And while it was photo-finish close... the winner is.... Balloon!! Per the rules, Balloon never hit the water, so he's safe from the vote tonight!
Balloon: ...Hooray.
[MePhone recovers Nickel]
Nickel: AHHH! Huh?
[Balloon is golden and holding the Immunity Cookie]
Nickel: You- you won?? WOW!
Balloon: Yeah. You could say what happened back there was... REALLY surprising.
MePhone: And the surprises don't stop there! Cabby has agreed that Yin-Yang should recieve the Immunity Milk!
[MePhone gives the Immunity Milk to Yin-Yang]
MePhone: So Yin-Yang, congratulations!
Silver Spoon: Well, I tried to throw you a bone, Cabby. But it looks like you've sealed your own fate.
Yin: Oh boy, I can't wait to chug this jug of safety tonight. Unless...
[Yin holds out the Immunity Milk to Cabby]
Yin: YOU'RE more thirsty than me?
Cabby: Wooooow, what a bold act of generosity! Who knows whose thirst will be quenched tonight?!
[Yin-Yang runs up to the Looney Balloonies]
Yang: So you better be careful who you vote for. Because, if you guess it wrong, you'll join the other losers! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Cabby: Yes, mwahahahahah- (Coughs) Mm... sorry.
[Cabby rolls away]
Nickel: He- he's bluffing! He wouldn't use it on HER! Besides, what I want to happen... is gonna happen.
Candle: Well, if Yin-Yang is feeling generous, and we pick wrong... whoever THEY decide... is done for.
Silver Spoon: Oh, what a scary time to not be safe! We may need to... consider other options.
[Nickel, Balloon, and Bot walk away from Silver Spoon and Candle to talk]
Nickel: And we may need to fight their generosity with even more of it... in the form of the...
[Nickel points at the Immunity Cookie in Balloon's hand]
Balloon: ...You're kidding. They punted me off that glacier they second they could! And you want me to give MY immunity to them?
Nickel: If it'll keep them on our side, that's all that matters... right?
Balloon: ...Right.
[Nickel, Balloon, and Bot walk back over to Silver Spoon and Candle]
Balloon: Hey, Silver, Candle... we... REALLY want to emphasize our loyalty for the vote... so...
[Balloon holds out the Immunity Cookie]
Silver Spoon: For... US? Even after I... PUNTED YOU TO THE HEAVENS-
Balloon: NO NEED TO RELIVE THAT! Can one of you just take it, PLEASE?
[Silver Spoon reaches to grab the Immunity Cookie]
Silver Spoon: Oh, I'm- I'm sorry, dear.
Candle: No, after you-
Silver Spoon: No, I insist-
Candle: But if you want it-
Silver Spoon: I DO!
[Silver Spoon grabs the Immunity Cookie and turns gold]
Silver Spoon: Alright, glad we had this talk!
Bot: Wait, I'm just realizing...
[Bot counts on their fingers]
Bot: THERE'S FIVE OF US!
Silver Spoon: Basic arithmetic! You're learning fast!
Bot: No! I mean, if we just split our votes between the two of them, then no matter which one drinks the milk, we'll at least force a tie!
Nickel: Wow, you're on FIRE with the ideas today, that's brilliant!
Bot: I feel like I'm seeing... everything so much more clearly now.
Candle: Well, it looks like the plan is determined, then.
[Silver Spoon presses the Elimination Button]
Elimination Button: ♫ ELIMINATION TIME! DA-DA! ♫
The Elimination[]
MePhone: Wow, everyone looking so confident... so smug. I thought that was my job! Oh well, before we read the votes... Yin-Yang, you have a BIG decision to make. Will you be taking the sip of safety, or will it be a potentially unquenched exit?!
Cabby: I think we're good. They'd be FOOLS to take the risk on this.
Silver Spoon: Then consider us FOOLS!
Cabby: I mean, we already did, but-
Silver Spoon: I'll make this quick. We're not budging! If one of you doesn't drink up fast, you'll be joining the "losers" YOURSELVES!
[Cabby turns to Yin-Yang]
Cabby: We've got this.
MePhone: Alright, no milk being chugged, so any votes for Yin-Yang WILL count. I'll read the votes. First vote... Cabby. Yin-Yang. One vote Cabby, one vote Yin-Yang. Yin-Yang. Cabby. We're tied, two votes each. Candle. That's one vote Candle. Candle. We're tied. Two votes Candle, two votes Yin-Yang, two votes Cabby... one vote left. Thirteenth contestant voted out of Inanimate Insanity Invitational: Candle.
Candle and Bot: (Gasps)
Balloon: Well. You know what they say. Fool me twice...
Nickel: Balloon... I don't know what you heard.
Balloon: I heard EVERYTHING, Nickel.
[FLASHBACK]
Nickel: I guess none of it's real, anyway.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
Balloon: No matter what I do, you still can't move on from what's happened in the past. You'll always just see me as "helpless Balloon", floating around, no direction of my own... so I'm focusing on the future.
Nickel: No, eugh- I don't see it that way at all! If this is about the cookie thing... th- that was just to make them feel comfortable-
Balloon: THEM comfortable. Not me. Because it was NEVER real between us... you said it yourself.
Candle: And history repeats itself. I suppose this IS what you wanted, Nickel. An outcome you DIDN'T want.
Nickel: How is this even...? WAIT!
[FLASHBACK]
Clover: Nickel, from this day on, and for the rest of your life, I wish you... luck.
[END OF FLASHBACK]
Nickel: "Rest of your life"... and I DIED today! The luck curse... IT'S BROKEN!
Balloon: Then I guess we know where we stand, without your LUCK in the way...
[Candle walks over to Yin-Yang]
Candle: It appears the student has become the teacher. Your loyalty ultimately paid off, and I'm sorry I foolishly withheld mine, from you. If it's any consolation... I'm rooting for you.
Yin: Good game, Candle.
[Candle and Yin-Yang shake hands. Candle begins to walk away]
Yang: You're still a dumb idiot, though!
Candle: (Chuckles) That I am, Yin-Yang. That I am.
[Silver Spoon runs over to Candle]
Candle: And for YOUR loyalty, Silver.
[Candle gives Silver Spoon her tuning fork and crystal]
Candle: Alright, it seems the day of betrayal has concluded.
Silver Spoon: Candle, WAIT-!
[Candle is punted away by the Fist Thingy]
Candle: (Screams)
MePhone: And I feel betrayed by her pathetically calm reaction! What fun is that? Anyway, with the majority alliance blown wide open, it's ANYONE'S game to win. Who will make history, and who will fall behind the times? Find out next time OOOOON...
[The camera rises up to view the moon]
MePhone: Inanimate Insanity Invitational!
[The screen goes black, then shows the Adamation logo]
Silver Spoon: (Sadly) Adamation.
