Total Tortimer Island
Episode XIX - The Tower of Seven Trials
[Screen appears. In the dock, Tortimer appears.]
TORTIMER
Last time, on Total Tortimer Island...
[Series of flashbacks from the previous episode]
TORTIMER
The villagers had to go and search for money in the Castle of Illusion. That may or may not have gone towards the IO DM FBI. In the end, Kicks won immunity and it was crazy Reese who was shot out of the cannon. Cyrus was sad.
[In the present day...]
TORTIMER
What tortures do I have in store for the villagers? And what terrors await them as we go further? Well the better question is, do I care? Find out all the answers and more right here on TOTAL... TORTIMER... ISLAND!
[On the title, camera zooms out twice, fade to black, and opening sequence.]
Sequence 2 - Monday - Week 7
[In Roost Cafeteria...]
CELESTE
Well this stinks.
LYLE
No, I think that's just bruised a dog corpse somewhere.
KICKS
Hey.
CELESTE
How could all of us that Cyrus has missed his wife?
CYRUS
Hey, it's not our fault my wife was eliminated. I miss her. If Reese wanted to make herself known, she would've.
CELESTE
Did anyone ask you to speak? You probably planned all of this.
CYRUS
Well, not this, but I have planned a lot of things lately.
CELESTE
I don't trust you again.
CYRUS
Congratulations.
[Celeste gets frustrated. In her confession camera...]
CELESTE
Kicks was right. Cyrus was just egging me on for my votes. I've got to drop him now. My only hope is to win the next challenge. So that I can get everyone to vote Cyrus off.
[In Cyrus' confession camera...]
CYRUS
So, yeah, yesterday, I post as Celeste and the cucumber king. It was too easy. Get a few votes to take out Reese and drive a bigger wedge between Celeste and K. K. Slider. And knowing K. K. acts irrationally rash when he's angry, he'll probably boil over sooner than later. So, in my head's on the chopping block, everyone will see how big of a threat K. K. Slider is, and turn their votes towards him, not me, and thus I was saved another day.
[In reality...]
DR. SHRUNK
Are you ready for the next challenge?
CYRUS
Yes.
DR. SHRUNK
Tortimer wants to see you in the far away island.
[Dr. Shrunk takes the eight villagers to the far-off island. On the other side of the island, there is a huge tower. Tortimer appears on screen.]
TORTIMER
Hello, final eight. Are you ready for the challenge?
CYRUS
Okay.
TORTIMER
For today's challenge is seven trials in the tower. On my go, all of you must do the first trial. On my stop, I'll explain about one of each obstacle. On my go again, you'll do your test to pass the trial. Only one of you will be eliminated. Only one person reaches to the top wins invincibility.
MR. RESETTI
It's time to go to the tunnel of doom, traitor!
KAPP'N
I don't think so.
TORTIMER
Are you ready, get set, go!
[The villagers go to the tower of doom.]
Sequence 3
[In the first floor...]
K. K. SLIDER
Where are we? The tower?
DIGBY
Hey, K. K., what's this down below?
KAPP'N
It's a pit.
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
For your first trial is to walk across through an unfinished bridge. You can pick up two planks, and place any of them between the rope. Do not stand on the plank. You must kneel down. If you fall into a pit, you have to try again. If you walk across through the bridge, you will move on to the next trial. The last one stands must be eliminated, and come to me. Got it?
ALL VILLAGERS
Yes.
TORTIMER
Start building!
CELESTE
Okay, I must kneel down, and get a plank.
CYRUS
No way, you are about to lose.
CELESTE
Okay, here it comes.
[Celeste puts one plank on the bridge, and crawls across. Cyrus goes with her.]
KAPP'N
Take one step and-
[Kapp'n falls into the pit.]
KAPP'N
Oh, I have to do it again.
[Kapp'n starts across the bridge again. Mr. Resetti, Lyle, and K. K. Slider move across the bridge.]
MR. RESETTI
You two are going down, traitors!
K. K. SLIDER
No you're not.
[In Mr. Resetti's confession camera...]
MR. RESETTI
My first trial is the walk. I can put planks on the bridge. That Kapp'n has fallen twice. Celeste, and Cyrus walked across the bridge very fast. I'm going to catch up with them. Right now, Kapp'n must be out of the game if the last one standing behind. It is so dramatic.
[In reality, Digby, and Kicks are walking through the planks. Kapp'n tries to catch them.]
KAPP'N
Ready or not, here I come!
[Kapp'n knocks Digby, and falls into the pit.]
DIGBY
Ouch!
[Kapp'n and Kicks move across to the other side.]
TORTIMER
And Kapp'n and Kicks moved on to the next trial. I'm sorry Digby, you're up for the elimination.
DIGBY
Great.
[In Digby's confession camera...]
DIGBY
I was trying to move across the bridge fast, but then Kapp'n rushed and attacked me, causing to fall down into a pit. Alright, I have to vote off Kapp'n, later.
[In reality, in the second floor...]
CYRUS
Look up there.
KICKS
It's a slope.
[Tortimer appears to the screen.]
TORTIMER
For the second trial, you must grab a rope to climb up the slope. If you slip, and fall, you have to do it again. The last one left standing must be eliminated. Got it?
VILLAGERS
Yes.
TORTIMER
Start climbing.
[The seven villagers have to climb the slope.]
CELESTE
Just take my hand, and grab the rope.
MR. RESETTI
It looks like you are about to reset the game.
CELESTE
Oh, I don't think so.
[Celeste knocks off Mr. Resetti.]
MR. RESETTI
I have to climb again.
CYRUS
Let's get rid of Celeste if I win this challenge.
LYLE
I know this one is for you.
KICKS
Almost there.
[Celeste, Cyrus, Lyle, and Kicks make into the top of the slope. With K. K. Slider, Mr. Resetti, and Kapp'n…]
K. K. SLIDER
Watch your head, Kapp'n.
KAPP'N
I know, here comes the cucumber king!
MR. RESETTI
That's it!
[Kapp'n and Mr. Resetti climb up fast. K. K. Slider reaches to the top.]
MR. RESETTI
It's game over for you, Kapp'n.
KAPP'N
No way.
[Kapp'n knocks off Mr. Resetti, and made into the top.]
TORTIMER
Well done, you six moved on to the next trial. As for you Mr. Resetti, you're up for the elimination.
MR. RESETTI
This is getting so depressed!
[In the third floor...]
K. K. SLIDER
Is that a robot?
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
This is a robot who would judge you. Your third trial is to perform comedy, or acting well. You can get an eight and up, you can pass. If you fail, you have to it again. I'll take you each turns. The last one stands must be eliminated. K. K. Slider, you're first.
[In K. K. Slider's confession camera...]
K. K. SLIDER
I'm so happy that I can perform music. I must talk to the robot about my music. I'm ready to sing.
[In reality, K. K. Slider begins to sing, playing the guitar. When it is finished...]
ROBOT
You sang very well. I'm giving you a ten.
K. K. SLIDER
I finally moved on to the next trial.
CYRUS
I'm next. (begins to perform) Go matador!
[Cyrus performs his matador skills.]
ROBOT
This is so amazed. I'm giving you a nine.
CYRUS
Alright.
LYLE
My turn. (begins to dance) Step by step.
[Lyle slips on the banana peel, and slips down.]
ROBOT
Two.
LYLE
Oh no.
CELESTE
Alright, I'm next. (begins to sing) What a cute little bird.
[Celeste sings to the bird.]
ROBOT
Your singing is so good. I'm giving you an eight.
CELESTE
Not bad.
KAPP'N
Okay, here I go. This is a cucumber that I can eat it. (imitates cucumber king) No, Kapp'n you must not eat me. (normal) Yes I must. (imitates cucumber king) No, you're not.
ROBOT
I know that is so silly. I'm giving you a nine.
KAPP'N
Great.
KICKS
Hello, chum, I can use tap dancing.
[Kicks begins to tap-dance. Suddenly, he curls down, and begins to spray.]
ROBOT
That smell is gross. Four.
KICKS
CRIKEY!
LYLE
Okay, I must do the stick and the plate.
[Lyle performs the trick; a plate on a stick.]
ROBOT
I knew it. I give you a ten.
LYLE
Great.
TORTIMER
Kicks, you're up for the elimination.
[In Kicks' confession camera...]
KICKS
Oh no, I tried to use my tap-dancing skills, but I curled down, my tail gets up, and sprayed at the robot. It was terrible! I skunked it. AH!
[In reality, in the fourth floor...]
LYLE
What's that?
[Tortimer appears in the screen...]
TORTIMER
For your fourth trial, you must get a bow, and arrow. You can get between a six or a bull's eye on a target that can move on the next trial. Last one left standing must be eliminated. Cyrus, you go first.
[Cyrus picks the bow-and-arrow.]
CYRUS
This is my luck.
[Cyrus shoots at the bull's eye.]
CYRUS
Bull's eye!
LYLE
Okay, my turn.
[Lyle shoots at eight.]
LYLE
Good.
K. K. SLIDER
Watch out.
[K. K. Slider misses the target.]
K. K. SLIDER
I missed.
CELESTE
One step closer, and...
[Celeste shoots at seven.]
CELESTE
Not bad.
KAPP'N
Do you know the cucumber king.
[Kapp'n shoots at a bull's eye.]
KAPP'N
Yeah!
TORTIMER
K. K. Slider, you're up for the elimination.
K. K. SLIDER
Oh no, how could I missed the target? It's impossible!
[In the fifth floor...]
LYLE
Is this another pit?
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
Only four of you left. For your fifth trial, you must swing across the pit by using vines. If you jump off, or fall down, you have to try again. Last one left standing must be eliminated.
CYRUS
Okay, here it comes.
[The villagers swing across through the pit. Lyle falls down.]
LYLE
Ow!
CELESTE
I'm Tarzan.
CYRUS
No, I'm Tarzan.
LYLE
Here I go again.
[Lyle begins to swing again to catch Kapp'n. Celeste, and Cyrus move to the other side.]
KAPP'N
Hey, Lyle, do you know about cucumbers?
LYLE
No.
[Lyle falls down again, and Kapp'n moves on the other side.]
TORTIMER
Lyle, you're up for the elimination.
LYLE
Not again.
[In the sixth floor...]
CYRUS
No, what?
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
For the sixth and semifinal trial, you can go to a maze and find stairs that can move on to the final trial. Last one left standing must be eliminated.
CELESTE
Okay, here I go!
[The three villagers go through the maze separately.]
KAPP'N
Hello? Are you there?
[In Kapp'n's confession camera...]
KAPP'N
I'm so lost that I don't know where the staircase is. I can find some cucumbers. Celeste and Cyrus are in the maze to find a way out. I must run closer.
[In reality, a net captures Celeste.]
CELESTE
It's a trap.
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
There are many traps including nets, cages, and many other obstacles. Be careful.
CELESTE
I can do it.
[Celeste frees herself from the net, and moves ahead. Cyrus climbs up to the next floor.]
CELESTE
There you are, Kapp'n.
KAPP'N
I know that you must be the scholar's sister.
CELESTE
Not this time, Kapp'n.
[Celeste climbs up to the next floor.]
TORTIMER
I'm sorry, Kapp'n, you're up for the elimination.
KAPP'N
I almost had it.
[In the seventh floor...]
CELESTE
What are those things?
[Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
Cyrus, and Celeste, you are the only ones left in the challenge. For your seventh and final challenge, you must to an obstacle course. First you must avoid the hammers, climb through a rock wall, jump through the bars, and go to an elevator. If you fall down, you have to do this obstacle again. Only one villager reaches to the top wins invincibility. Ready, set, go!
[Cyrus dodges the hammers, but the hammers knock Celeste down.]
CELESTE
I'll do it again.
[Cyrus begins to climb a rock wall, while Celeste finally dodges the hammers to catch up with him.]
CYRUS
No way, Celeste, you are losing the challenge.
CELESTE
I don't think so.
[Celeste knocks off Cyrus down.]
CYRUS
That hurts.
[Celeste reaches the top of the wall. Then Cyrus goes after her. She jumps through the bars, but slips down.]
CELESTE
I'll do it again.
[Cyrus jumps across through the bars, and makes it to the other side. Then Celeste goes after him. Tortimer appears in the screen.]
TORTIMER
Here it is. The elevator is the exit. Remember, only one person reaches to the top wins invincibility.
CYRUS
Sorry, Celeste, you're going down. That's for my wife.
CELESTE
I don't think so, Cyrus.
[Celeste, and Cyrus race together to the elevator. In the outdoor top floor, Tortimer is standing. He hears an elevator bell.]
TORTIMER
It looks like we have a winner.
[The seven losing villagers, and Tortimer sees the elevator begin to open. In Digby's confession camera...]
DIGBY
It's an epic showdown between Cyrus, and Celeste. They have been rivals since the past weeks. Right now, only one person reaches to the top. And do I think it is? Let's find out to see who won?
[In reality, the elevator door opens. It is Celeste!]
CELESTE
Hello?
TORTIMER
Well done, Celeste, you finally win invincibility.
[Cyrus arrives to the top.]
CYRUS
No!
TORTIMER
As for the rest of you, including Cyrus, one of you must be eliminated at the campfire ceremony. Let's figure it out.
[In Cyrus' confession camera...]
CYRUS
Oh my gosh, I lost the challenge. How terrible is that. I must get rid of Mr. Resetti now. I miss my wife, Reese, because she must be with Redd once more.
Sequence 4
[Back at camp...]
CELESTE
What a perfect day.
[Mr. Resetti pops out of the hole.]
MR. RESETTI
I heard you that Cyrus must be eliminated, because I have to reset the challenge next time.
CELESTE
You and I have to get rid of Cyrus now.
MR. RESETTI
Fine, we will.
[At the campfire ceremony...]
TORTIMER
One by one, each of you have failed the trials.
MR. RESETTI
Awkward!
TORTIMER
Your performance looks terrible on you, Kicks.
KICKS
Neither did I.
TORTIMER
Right now, it's time to vote off one villager. Okay, each of you must say to vote one villager off while I give you live with confession camera. Let's get started. Celeste, as the winner of this challenge, you go first.
[In Celeste's confession camera...]
CELESTE
I'm voting off Cyrus, because he's the back-stabber. I made it to the elevator, and reached to the top. It's game over for him.
[In K. K. Slider's confession camera...]
K. K. SLIDER
Game over, Kicks.
[In Kicks' confession camera...]
KICKS
Cyrus.
[In Mr. Resetti's confession camera...]
MR. RESETTI
Cyrus, you are a traitor! So, I'm going to vote you off now!
[In Cyrus' confession camera...]
CYRUS
I've voted for Mr. Resetti, because he's calling me a traitor.
[In Lyle's confession camera...]
LYLE
Cyrus.
[In Digby's confession camera...]
DIGBY
See you later, Cyrus.
[In Kapp'n's confession camera...]
KAPP'N
Cyrus.
[In reality...]
TORTIMER
You have all cast you votes, and made a decision. In the end, it has still six votes against Cyrus. Which means, the cannon of losers awaits you.
CYRUS
What? You guys voted me off?
CELESTE
Too bad, Cyrus, better luck next time.
[In the dock of shame...]
TORTIMER
Have you any last words?
CYRUS
I must work with my wife at Re-Tail. Reese, here I come. I'll get you next time, Celeste!
TORTIMER
No more talking, see you next time.
[The cannon blasts Cyrus off from Tortimer Island.]
TORTIMER
Great. Only seven villagers left. What will happen next? Celeste is the queen of what? Will Kapp'n ever want to have cucumbers? And what dangerous to wait for those villains? Answers next time on TOTAL... TORTIMER... ISLAND!
[The camera zooms out twice, fade to black, and credits roll.]
