Chapter Eight: Fame and Misfortune

Chris: [narrating] Last time on Total Drama Destiny, we took a trip down memory lane in the city of Highland, Texas, someplace that made someone feel real nice at home given that it was her old residence before she moved away. And what further surprise awaited Daria than the return of her old friends; Beavis and Butthead, ah, don't you just love reunions? After a bit of touring around the city, which was as much of a trash fire as you can imagine, the contestants were tasked with jumping down from the bridge to the concrete below in the hopes of catching items of their team's respective colors. In the end, Team Siamese was victorious after a little "incident" got Cajun and Desoto all "tangled up", so to speak. [chuckles] As a result of hitting the ground and sustaining a few injuries, they had to be pulled from the competition in a double elimination, with a very dramatic exit from Cajun and a surprisingly tender exit between Roscoe and Desoto, bet no one saw that coming, I sure didn't. [on-screen in the cockpit with Chef] Eleven contestants remain, but I don't reckon that'll last for much longer, especially given the surprise we have in store. How will El Jefe and Roscoe manage without their primary source of support, will Dodger tick Roscoe enough to get his ass handed to him, and will I sit back in a deck chair with a tub of popcorn to watch the fight? Let's be real, I probably would, much like you're tuning in to watch the latest episode of Total...Drama...Destiny!

[cue theme song, the episode continues]

[scene shows the interior of economy class where Teams Daredevil and Cajun are sat on opposite sides to one another]

Roscoe: [sighs] Well, this is just f**kin' perfect…

Dodger: Desoto still on your mind?
Roscoe: What'd you think, smartass?

Dodger: Ooooh, someone's touchy.

Roscoe: Is life just one snarky comment after another with you or some s**t?

Dodger: I dunno, I could say the same for you, Mr. Mafia Man.

Roscoe: Ooooooh, you're just asking for it at this point, aren't you?

Dodger: Mmmm, whatever could you mean by that?

Roscoe: Maybe it has something to do with this. [puts Dodger into a headlock]

Dodger: Oof! Ahhh, you've been waiting for this one, haven't-OH!
Roscoe: Go on, keep at it and I just might go tighter.

Thomas: [clears throat] Okay, can we just step back a little here? Maybe not try and strangle each other to death?

Roscoe: [rolls his eyes] Oh, God, here we go…

Thomas: What, I'm serious. I know Desoto being gone sucks, but we still gotta stick together as a team, especially you, Roscoe, I'm sure he wouldn't want to see you moping and sulking around.

Roscoe: Are we seriously doing the inspirational pep talk thing?

Thomas: Yes, we are, but you can't deny that I've got a point. So maybe, loosen up a lil on Dodger?

Roscoe: [sighs] Fine. [releases his hold on the Russell Terrier's neck]

Dodger: Haaaaaaa...man, you got a strong grip.

Thomas: You know, in spite of what I said, you kinda had it coming.

Dodger: Well, who's to say I didn't want the big bad mobster's paws around me?

Thomas: You love to play around, don't you?

Dodger: Maaaaybe.

Scat: Hey, Roscoe, I think I know something that might cheer you up. This lil stunt works on Tommy boy all the time.

Thomas: [waves his paw] Oooooh, no, ya' don't have to do this.

Scat: You sure, cuz I think yo' face says otherwise. [stands up in front of the group and begins to tap dance while singing in the style of Scat]

Dodger: Yo, he's pretty good.

Thomas: He's wonderful.

Roscoe: [with crossed arms] Hmm...it's...alright…

[Scat finishes off by throwing his hat in the area and catching it before giving a bow. Thomas and Dodger both give a round of applause while Roscoe, after a bit of hesitation, joins. Daria and Jane give a few claps from the other side with El Jefe giving more of a slow clap]

Scat: Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week. [looks over to Roscoe in particular] Aye, I knew I'd see a lil smile on that face. C'mon, you know it's there, don't hide it, baby.

Roscoe: Aaaah, you're cheesy as hell.

Thomas: Which is why I love him.

[static buzzing]

Scat: That right there is called "how ta' drop it like it's hawt", which yours truly happens to be an expert in.

[static buzzing]

Thomas: That lil dance has always been a joy to watch, has gotten me out of a funk on more than a few occasions lemme tell you.

[static buzzing]

Dodger: Ya' gotta hand it to those cats, what they've got is somethin' real precious, now if only I could get some of that with a certain stoic.

[static buzzing]

Roscoe: Okay, so having Desoto out of the game still sucks major ass, but I suppose that just means I'll have to just work harder to get to the end, win it for both of us, so to speak.

[static buzzing]

Jane: You know, given that the person who named our team's gone, carrying this name feels ironic.

Daria: My bet that the teams are gonna be mixed sooner or later, after all, they can't eliminate us to the last man, unless they really wanna give us the Team Victory treatment.

Jane: Most ironic name in the history of reality shows ever.

Daria: Honestly, I always had a feeling they were doomed to fail, I mean, they were the clear outliers of the three teams being that they had no major driving force behind their operations, Team Chris had Alejandro calling the shots while Team Amazon pretty much had the squabbling trio of Heather, Courtney, and Gwen doing the heavy lifting.

Jane: I suppose you could count Sierra in it as well, for all the crazy fangirling that would have made anyone assign a restraining order afterward, she was a bit of a challenge beast. And then Cody...well, he got through with the power of fan service.

Daria: You probably just pissed some people by saying that.

Jane: Yeah, and I don't regret it.

Daria: Me neither. So, de facto team leader, what's your take on the situation?

El Jefe: Isn't it obvious, we're clearly on the outs given the fact that we're more than likely seen on the weakest team, given the numbers we have compared to the others.

Daria: I suppose three against four others on each is evident of that.

El Jefe: I don't reckon that McLean will be idiotic enough to do as you said, eliminate us to the last person standing, although I don't know why I should even consider giving him the benefit of the doubt given all the s**t he pulls.

[static buzzing]

El Jefe: Now that Cajun's out of the game, I'm not exactly in the best of positions at the moment. In the case that we go to elimination once again, no doubt that Daria and Jane will vote alongside one another, which will mean the end for me, unless I can convince them to turn on one another...aaaaah, no, they're too insightful for that...oh, por el amor de Dios, this could not be any more of a s**tshow, unless by some miracle they'll be mixing the teams with one another before the merge, then I might have a chance to gain some ground.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to first-class where Team Siamese is relaxing on opposite seats from one another, Si and Am to the viewer's right, Leshawna and Starlight to the viewer's left]

Si: [sighs contentedly] It feels good to be back where we belong.

Am: Now we get to enjoy some real rest and relaxation.

Leshawna: I'll admit, it's nice to be back here, though the way our last win went down kinda has me thinkin'.

Si: What about?
Leshawna: Well, you saw what happened with Cajun and Desoto, I thought I saw you knock into them when you had your little "faint out."

Si: I admit, maybe I didn't calculate all the angles of that little stunt, but it still got us the win from what I can see.
Starlight: You seem awfully dismissive about the whole affair, given that it's kind of a big deal and all.

Am: Well, I think my sister did us a favor by taking a risk, sure, a few people got hurt in the process, but don't forget that this is a competition.

Starlight: Yes, I'm aware of that, but that doesn't mean we have to play dirty in order to win.

Si: Except when getting a little down and dirty wins you the challenge, which it usually does.

Am: Now, if you don't mind, we'd like to continue our rest before our next stop.

[Leshawna and Starlight glance at one another]

[static buzzing]

Leshawna: Those two are up to somethin', I can sense it just by the look in their eyes, they'd best be hoping we keep winnin' challenges or else Shawnie's gonna have to show 'em what happens when you get all sleazy.

[static buzzing]

Starlight: Admittedly, the twins have a point considering a lot of contestants who've played dirty have typically gotten far on this show, but given the type of people they are, that kinda spells trouble for us given that it's only a matter of time before they stab us in the backs.

[static buzzing]

Si: Do I feel bad about what happened in the last challenge? Why should I? After all, no one said anything about having to play fair all the time.

Am: Besides, it got us the win to first-class, so I don't understand why they need to be all bitter about it.

Si: Oh, such is the case for a couple of goodie twoshoes.

Am: Ugh, tell me about it, we know all about that.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to the meeting area where all three teams are gathered]

Chris: Greetings, teams, hope you're all ready for the surprises we've got in store for today, and especially the place we're going.

Daria: Let me guess; you're going to drop us in Antarctica.

Chris: Awwww, come on, would I really be that cruel?
Jane: Is that even a question at this point?

Chris: Anyway, you're in for a real treat as we're going to the place where dreams are both made and crushed.

Daria: So it's back to New York City, I take it?

Jane: I mean, you never got the chance last time with Val.

Daria: As if I could tolerate being next to superficiality in one of the world's biggest cities.

Jane: Fair point.

Chris: You were close, but think more on the west side as opposed to the east; Hollywood in Los Angles, California!

[scene shows the exterior of the plane as it hovers over the aforementioned city. It then cuts to the three teams standing outside the plane on a hill just below the large white letters]

Daria: I see this is the fourth time we've traveled to a location in the US, not exactly much of a world tour, is it?

Jane: Suppose it's a small world after all.

Chris: Anyway, hope you're all ready because someone's returning to the game today, especially considering it's someone who's been AWOL for a little bit.

EL Jefe: Wait, you're not seriously implying that-

Chris: Oh, yes, yes I am. Ladies and gentlemen, iiiiiiiiiit's Sly Cooper!

[Sly comes in swinging from a glider giving out a warrior's cry and flips in the air before landing on his feet in front of the others]

Sly: Hey, ya'll, miss me?

Leshawna: Yo, where've you been, last we saw you was in Madagascar and then you dipped off the face of the Earth.

Starlight: Also, is that face paint on you?
Sly: Ah yes, made myself fitting in with the local tribe after I drove off those lemurs, settled down for a bit in their village, then whisked myself out after all the hugs and kisses, had myself a lil adventure you could say.

Si: [to Am] Was it worth ditching us in the middle of a challenge?
Am: [to Si] He'll be lucky we win today so that he's not a goner.

[static buzzing]

El Jefe: Great, I lose my closest ally, my team's got the least members, and now he's back. [puts his fingers between his eyes] This is all I need. Just. F**king. Brilliant.

[static buzzing]

Chris: Right then, now for the second announcement; with Sly back in the game, we've got an even number once again. This works in our favor because today we're going from three teams to two teams.

[the contestants murmur amongst themselves hearing this]

Chris: As it stands; Team Siamese has five members, Team Daredevil has four members, and Team Cajun has three members. As such; Daria, Jane, and El Jefe, your team is being dissolved and you're now part of Team Daredevil.

El Jefe: I suppose it could be worse…

Chris: Now then, time for a few people to swap teams; Thomas and Scat, you two are joining Team Siamese, and Starlight, you're joining Team Daredevil.

Thomas: Well, it was fun while it lasted with you boys. Still, you're a pretty cool set of dogs if I do say so myself.

Scat: Yeah, we gotta get togetha' some time afta' this whole thing's ova, you've just gotta meet the gang.

Dodger: Same goes for you cool cats, and I'd be more than happy to meet your crew, so long as you don't mind meeting up with mine.

Scat: Aw, you can bet on it, slick, how about you, big fella?

Roscoe: [sighs] Yeah, sure, whatever.

Dodger: Aw, don't mind him, he's just a wittle gwumpy.

Roscoe: Don't use the baby talk on me.

Starlight: Well, guess I'm heading over to the other side now.

Leshawna: You take care of yourself now, we may be on different teams, but still, wishin' you luck, girl.

Starlight: Kudos, I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, I suppose I can make this work.

Daria: Welcome to the team, we're happy to be in your company. Can you tell by the smile on my face?

Starlight: The feeling's mutual.

Roscoe: [as El Jefe pulls up alongside him] So, you're the de facto team leader of that lot, are ya'?

El Jefe: Naturalmente, and I take it you've been the one calling the shots for your group?

Roscoe: Bet your ass on that.

El Jefe: More like bet your ass on it.

Roscoe: You challengin' me already, faccia di cazzo?
El Jefe: I live for the challenge, mi pequeño bastardo.
Jane: Hey, you two, maybe don't kill each other so soon, we kinda need the numbers.

Daria: Also, don't expect me to treat either of you, I'm not a specialist in third-degree wounds.

Starlight: You two like making quips about anything, don't you?

Daria: It's how we made a living for five years.

Dodger: I'll be sure to keep the big boys under control, after all, I know a thing or two about mobsters.

[Roscoe and El Jefe glare in Dodger's direction]

El Jefe: You've got a little s**t to deal with like me, it seems.

Roscoe: You could say that.

Si: Oh, look, it appears those two are back, remind me again who they are?

Am: I think they're the orange one and the black one.

Thomas: [flatly] Funny, at least you can tell us apart. Without those bows, no one would be able to tell you apart, seeing as you're practically two in one.

Si: And just what is that supposed to mean?
Thomas: It means you lack individuality, not surprising given you're both practically the same personality-wise.

Scat: Ooooooooh, damn.

Am: [scoffs] And it seems your personality is to just be the wingman to everything he says.

Scat: At least I got a personality of ma' own, I'd think you were yo' sista' if it ain't for the blue atop yo' head compared to her red.

Sly: Weeeeeeeell, seems we're off to a great start with some more guy power on this team, no offense, of course, ladies.

Leshawna: Charmin', aren't you?

Sly: I try, and to think we're practically kindred of bein' overlooked, I think we're gonna get along just fine.

[static buzzing]

Sly: Yeah, it's great to be back, ya'll knew I wouldn't be gone long, right? Of course not, you can't keep a Cooper down, we always come back in style, and what a deal I've got with those newbies on our team, mmmm, I like it.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to the cast walking through Hollywood Boulevard with the sound of a jazz band playing in the background]

Sly: [sighs] Been meaning to head to this place for a while now, got me a few bones to pick at that.

Thomas: For real?
Sly: Oh yeah, after all, it's not every day you get screwed by two companies.

Thomas: Guess you could say I know the feeling.

Scat: The three of us at that...maybe dial that up to six.

Daria: I suppose it could always be worse, you could end up being churned out by a company that needs to milk your name as much as they can because it gives them money.

Jane: Mmm, where have I heard that before? Couldn't possibly be more than 50% of celebrities.

Chris: Funny you say that because your challenge is all about making a surefire production through the props used in these studios. [waves hand over the many buildings] For demonstration, a few familiar faces are going to show us what I mean, presenting Wolf and Angelina with Fox and Alice.

[scene cuts to a set-piece reminiscent of that to "Gone With the Wind" with the aforementioned former contestants in the getup of the characters Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara as the spotlight shines down]

Wolf: Did you ever think of marrying just for fun?

Angelina: Marriage, fun? Fiddle-dee-dee. Fun for men you mean.

Wolf: I can't go all my life waiting to catch you between husbands.

Angelina: You'd rather live with that silly little fool who can't open her mouth except to say "yes" or "no" and raise a passel of mealy-mouthed brats just like her. Sir, you are no gentleman.

Wolf: And you, Miss, are no lady.

[the set-piece flips around to show Alice and Fox dressed up as Dorothy Gale and the Scarecrow respectively from "The Wizard of Oz" against a forest background]

Alice: Now which way do we go?
Fox: Pardon me, this way is a very nice way.

Alice: Who said that? Don't be silly, Toto. Scarecrows don't talk.

Fox: [points the other way] It's pleasant down that way, too.

Alice: That's funny. Wasn't he pointing the other way?

Fox: [points both ways] Of course, some people do go both ways.

[the spotlight shines off as the contestants give a round of applause for the performances]

Alice: Oh my goodness, I actually got to reenact Wizard of Oz! And doing it right in Hollywood Studios, ooooooh, it's like a dream come true!

Angelina: You played a wonderful Dorothy, Alice, and that outfit looks absolutely beautiful on you.

Alice: Awww, thank you, Angelina, you played a wonderful Scarlett as well.

Angelina: Much appreciated, though I'm a bit curious as to why I was typecasted into an older role with an actual adult.

Wolf: Heck if I know, I suspect anyone who watches that is gonna take it out of context, even if it was a reenactment. Still, you did pretty well, kids, same goes for the scarecrow, could plant him in my yard.

Fox: Oh, be quiet, you big lug, hope you don't intend to run off with Miss O'Hara now.

Wolf: Of course not, she's not got what you do, that cute face for one thing.

Fox: [blushes] You're a real sweet-talker, you know that?
Wolf: I try, especially for you. [boops Fox's nose with the tip of his finger]

Chris: Alright then, now that we've got that out of the way, you're all going to be creating a scene for a production that will be judged by myself and Chef. The team that gets the best results will be receiving a ticket to first-class. The team with the worst results gets a ticket to loser class and a trip to elimination. Now then, my soon-to-be stars, get to work! And since we're in the movie capital of the world, it's also fitting we add in everyone's favorite part!

[Ding! Ding!]

Chris: [to the camera] And with a little quick editing. [winks]

[as the music starts, the contestants are seen in more stylized outfits in comparison to their own]

Thomas: Scat Cat, won't you take me home?

I think I would rather not go it alone

It's dark on the streets, here I feel content

Scat: No lie

Thomas: No shy

Scat: Then let's fly

Hey, baby, I feel glad

With you, I will never ever feel sad

Especially given that you're a real present

Thomas: Anywhere?

Scat: I swear

Thomas: So fair

See, men like you

Always think of someone else

Scat: Yeah, that's the truth

I'm always wantin' to help

So baby,

Don't waste the moon

Now the night is ours

Oh don't, baby,

Don't waste the moon and the stars

Enjoying yourself?

Thomas: I dunno, you tell me

Scat: Would it be a yes?

Thomas: Maaaaybe

Scat: Ah, I knew it

Thomas: Well, definitely around you

Scat: Well, I know exactly what makes you purr

Thomas: That you do, especially those paws

Scat: Which reminds me, they're a little eager to get in some places

Thomas: Oh you!

El Jefe: That damn Sly Cooper!

Roscoe: Again, what's your obsession with him?

El Jefe: You would never understand

What I wouldn't give to crush him in the sand

You just wait in store for what I've got planned

Roscoe: Oh yeah?

El Jefe: Oh yeah!

Roscoe: Oh yeah!

You've got a twisted mind

One that can match my very grind

One that can make those virgins blind

El Jefe: So smart

Roscoe: Take part

El Jefe: Let's start

See, men like you,

Wham! And bam! And right on slam!

Roscoe: You got that right!

It's like you know who I am!

So, baby, don't waste the moon

Now that the night is ours

Oh don't, baby,

Don't waste the moon and the stars

Dodger: I see you've found someone else

Roscoe: Whatchu talkin' about?

Dodger: You know, the big strong tiger man

Roscoe: You playing me or something?

Dodger: Gee, I thought I was the one

Roscoe: Hey, you cut it out there

Dodger: You'll have to catch me first

Roscoe: Oh, you son of a bitch, come here!

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: See what I do?

Why do you have to be so mean?

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: See, men like you,

We should just watch the screen

Watch them treat each other like some little toys

And then hear them say they're just being boys

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: That's cuz I know how to handle a man

Hot damn! And doing the best I can

Am, Daria, Dodger, El Jefe, Jane, Leshawna, Roscoe, Scat, Si, Sly, Starlight, Thomas: Don't waste the moon

Now that the night is ours

Oh don't, baby

Don't waste the moon and the stars

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: Onto Lover's Leap they park

Then for hours, they grope each other in the dark

You think they'd go bowling, but that's just not true

So wrong

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: So long

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: Come along

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: We may be that way

That's cuz we've got some ass we need to slay

No one can resist the temptation on the side of gay

Dodger, Sly, Thomas: Right here

El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat: In the clear

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: Don't sneer

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: See, men like you

Always wanting to give and receive

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: You said it true

It's something you better believe

So, baby, don't waste the moon

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: See, men like you,

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: Now that the night is ours

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: You can bark, but you won't bite

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: Oh don't, baby, don't,

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: Me, I'll come through,

Dodger, El Jefe, Roscoe, Scat, Sly, Thomas: Waste the moon and the stars!

Am, Daria, Jane, Leshawna, Si, Starlight: If you just treat me right!

Am, Daria, Dodger, El Jefe, Jane, Leshawna, Roscoe, Scat, Si, Sly, Starlight, Thomas: Don't waste the moon,

Now that the night is ours

Oh don't, baby

Don't waste the moon and the stars

Don't waste the moon,

Now that the night is ours

Oh don't, baby

Don't waste the moooooooooooon and the staaaaaaaaaaaaars!

[scene cuts to black, the episode continues]

[scene shows Team Daredevil looking through several props to determine what kind of scene they want to make]

Jane: You know, if you need someone to create a background for this production, let's just say I'm pretty nifty with paint and a brush.

Starlight: I don't think we'll need a painted background when we can do a bit of greenscreen, after all, it's basically what filmmakers use primarily nowadays anyway.

Jane: I mean, yes, but I think the scene would be a little more organic with some classic work behind it, you know, give it a bit of that nostalgic feel to it.

Daria: Nathan didn't get into your head again, did he?
Jane: Of course not, I'm not that desperate.

Starlight: I get what you're saying, but given from what I've seen, Chris isn't someone who values nostalgia all that much if Sierra is anything to go by. Plus, I see him being more wowed by the spectacle of things, like flashy edits and whatnot.

Jane: Uh, sure, yeah, we'll go with that…

Starlight: Okay, people, places, gather around to hear my idea!

Jane: [grimaces]

[static buzzing]

Jane: I'm sorry, but who exactly made her the director of this project? I don't like me that haughty tone Starlight's putting on, as if she's never made a film before, she's mostly been in front of the camera while I've been there and at the back.

[static buzzing]

Starlight: Okay, so you would think that it would be easy to make a movie and all that jazz, but let me tell you, I've found out that more often than not things don't go according to plan. And this happened to be one of those moments.

[static buzzing]

[scene cuts to Roscoe and El Jefe lifting up a large piece of equipment as Dodger watches them]

Dodger: Mmmmm, you two come here often?

El Jefe: What the hell are you doing just standing there?

Dodger: Oh, you know, admiring the view, and what a fine view it is.

Roscoe: Pfft, and you say I'm the one who's found someone else.

Dodger: Awww, I didn't know you cared, Roscoe.

Roscoe: Don't push it.

Starlight: Excuse me, what's going on here, we're kinda in the middle of a challenge here, no time for idling about.

Dodger: Whoa, slow your roll down, sister, we're just having a little fun.

Starlight: From what I can see, you're just standing there being of no use to anyone, so maybe let's change that and get back to work, okay?

Dodger: [scowls] Geez, talk about no fun allowed.

Roscoe: I mean, you could get off your lazy ass and help us with this.

Starlight: Actually, we need something green to work for the screen, we'll put it behind us and let me work the magic from there, now hop to it you three, chop-chop.

El Jefe: [as Starlight walks away] Maldita perra pretenciosa...

Daria: You alright there?

Jane: I don't like where this is going, the way she's going about with the whole spectacle thing is more on the superficial side of things, plus, she totally shot down my idea for a traditional backdrop, make our thing stand out a little more, you know.

Daria: I get what you're saying, I've seen the way you draw and paint, plus, I don't like the way she announced herself in front of the group like she was in charge.

Jane: Something tells me that she's gonna get a little over her head with this.

[scene cuts to Team Siamese working against a background with an Asian temple in the background surrounded by cherry blossoms]

Si: This will do nicely, after all, who can resist a gorgeous Asian setting?
Am: Especially since we know all about that, a little reflection of our origins.

Si: A proper reflection at that, not until the one we were given years ago.

Am: I still can't believe they enlarged our teeth like that, practically insulting.

Si: And to think we were almost shoved into an icebox. [shudders]

Am: And then having another big moment cut because they needed to focus solely on that goodie twoshoes.

Sly: [appears in front of them] You two finished exchanging your grievances?

Si: Why aren't you in costume?
Sly: Beg your pardon?
Am: We've already found our outfits, the rest of you need to get into character.

Leshawna: Yo, this armor's too tight around me.

Scat: Same here.

Si: You'll just have to put up with it until we've wrapped up the production, now chop, chop, get into your places.

Leshawna: [sighs] At least it can't be worse than the last time I did this.

Thomas: [as he tries to adjust Scat's armor] That better?

Scat: A little bit, but it's still squishing me inside.

Thomas: Yeah, just hold on tight for a little bit, then we'll see about afterward.

Scat: Aaaaah, you just pulled a pun there, didn't ya?

Thomas: Maaaaaybe.

[scene cuts to the two teams standing before Chris]

Chris: Alright, now that you're done filming, it's time to see if your hard work has paid off. Chef?

Chef: [mumbling] Low-budget, no ad agency, rip-off, cheese ball, cheap show…

Leshawna: Uh, what?

Chris: First up, Team Daredevil with their take on "The Godfather."

[the camera flashes against the screen to show Roscoe and Dodger in the outfits of Don Vito Corleone and Michael Corleone while El Jefe, Daria, Jane, and Starlight are stood on either side of them dressed like mobsters]

Roscoe: I knew that Santino was gonna have to go through all this. And Fredo... Fredo was, well... But I never wanted any of this for you! I worked my whole life. I don't apologize for taking care of my family. And I refused to be a fool, dancing on a string held by all those big shots. I don't apologize, that's my life, but I thought that... that when it was your time, you would be the one to hold the strings. Senator Corleone, Governor Corleone, something.

Dodger: Another pezzonovante…

Roscoe: I guess just wasn't enough time, Michael. Just wasn't enough time.

[the scene finishes as everyone gives a round of applause]

Chris: Now then, Team Siamese with their take on "Mulan."
[the camera flashes against the screen to show Thomas, Scat, Sly, and Leshawna on either side of the twins as they're both dressed in red and blue robes respectively]

Si and Am: Look at me... I will never pass for a perfect bride. Or a perfect daughter.

Can it be, I'm not meant to play this part?

Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart.

Who is the girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know? Somehow I cannot hide, who I am, though I've tried.

When will my reflection show who I am inside? When will my reflection show who I am inside?

[the scene finishes as everyone gives a round of applause]

Chris: Not bad from either of you, but it's time to decide which team did it better. Chef?

Chef: I'm gonna have ta' say...the team who exceeded mah expectations was…[the members of both teams glance at each other in anticipation]...Team Siamese and their recreation of Mulan! Two gals takin' on an unusual role like that with those kinda results, that's worthy of a win in ma' book.

Chris: Yeah, I'd have to agree with you there, the act of subversion always gets an audience going.

Starlight: Hold on, but Roscoe's role for Corleano was spot-on, I cast a literal mobster in the role of a crime boss while they split the role of a whole character.

Chris: Yes, you did, and I'll admit, it was a pretty good performance, but something about Si and Am doing a role you wouldn't expect them doing is a lil more noteworthy than Roscoe and by extension, Dodger doing a role you'd expect from them.

Roscoe: You f**king serious?

El Jefe: [facepalms] You've got to be kidding me.

Starlight: Unbelievable.

Chris: Either way, Team Siamese, you've earned yourself a night in first-class.

Si and Am: [high-five one another] Yes!

Leshawna: I always knew I was actress material.

Sly: They'll be seeing my name up in lights...oh, if only.

Thomas: Still, gives us some time to get to know each other.

Scat: Get all cozy, if you know what I mean.

Sly: Mmmmm, I like the sound of that.

Chris: Team Daredevil, as for you, you're heading to elimination where we'll see which star's ultimately taking a fall from grace. Should make for an interesting evening.

[scene cuts to the elimination ceremony where Team Daredevil is sat on the bleachers]

Chris: Team Daredevil, the time has come for you to vote off yet another member, to think you had a decent project and direction, though from what I hear, there was a lil miscommunication behind the scenes like a lot of Hollywood busts. [chuckles]

[static buzzing]

Daria: Looks like our production went up in flames. [stamps a passport]

[static buzzing]

Dodger: [stamps a passport] Ya' gotta lighten up a little more.

[static buzzing]

Starlight: [stamps a passport] Look, no hard feelings, it's just playing the game.

[static buzzing]

El Jefe: So either someone challenging my role for leadership, a wannabe smoothtalker, or someone who could pose a threat to my plans later on...[stamps a passport]

[static buzzing]

Jane: [stamps a passport] I know it might be pretentious given you had a good direction and all, but no one shoots down Jane Lane's art like that.

[static buzzing]

Roscoe: Only too easy. [stamps a passport]

[static buzzing]

Chris: Okay, now that the votes are in, time for peanuts. I've got five bags of them right here and the following shall receive them; Daria [catches the bag]...El Jefe [catches the bag]...Roscoe [catches the bag]...and Dodger [catches the bag]. Jane, Starlight, this is the last bag of the evening, one of you will be taking the Drop of Shame. Who will be safe, I wonder…

Jane!

Jane: [catches the bag]

Starlight: [sighs] I don't know if I should be surprised or disappointed or even a mix of both.

Chris: I'll let you decide that once you jump out of the plane. [tosses the parachute to Starlight]

Starlight: Alright then, better make my grand exit. [looks back to her former teammates] Okay, so maybe we didn't get off on the best foot, but still, hope there's not too much bad blood between us.

Jane: [shrugs] Meh, I'll get over it, it's only a game after all.

Daria: At least you get to be rid of the torture sooner.

Starlight: Yeah, I suppose there's that to consider…[jumps out from the plane] Trixie, this one's for yooooooooooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Chris: And so we wrap the day in Hollywood, where will our travels take us next? Will Team Siamese be able to keep their fragile peace? And who will be taking a tumble next? All these questions and many more. Probably won't be answered on the next episode of Total...Drama...Destiny!
