Introduction
(Sports commentator-style desk, with Artie, Manny, and Mike.)
Manny: (excited) It’s the final episodes!
Artie: Finally getting into the appropriate mood, huh Edwards?
Manny: No, I’m just glad it’s almost over.
Mike: But first up- a special tribute to the first Animation Survivor. A dramatic reenactment of what is considered one of the most memorable scenes in the series. Today, Kari Kamiya and Sana Kurata will be playing the part of Tai and Tracey in the infamous hot springs scuffle scene in Episode Twelve of Animation Survivor.
Artie: When did you get this together?
Manny: We didn’t. Kari and Sana did it on their own while they were down there…
Artie: Cool!!!
Episode Twelve- Day Thirty-Four
(Sana is relaxing in the river, facing the beach in an odd
way. Kari dunks Sana’s head into the water. Sana quickly
gets up.)
Sana: What the??!! Who the heck…
(Sana turns around and sees Kari. Sana smiles.)
Sana: Hi Kari!! I see you did your homework.
Kari: (not pissed) You’re damn right I did my homework, what on Earth made you vote for TK last night?!
Sana: Well, it’s simply a matter of playing the, uh, percentages. I mean…
(Kari and Sana face each other.)
Kari: To hell with the percentages, why TK? Can’t you for one minute think about…
Sana: Believe me, Kari, it was a very difficult decision. But I could tell that TK… uh… what could I tell about TK?
Kari: Don’t worry about that… uh… you two used to be… you know.
Sana: That was more me than him but… yes I do. But nonetheless… I’ll be honest, I miss TK. We had something that I’ve never felt before. But you wouldn’t know about that kind of thing, would you?
(Kari turns around and blushes.)
Sana: Which brings up another point- when Davis got voted off, all you did was pout for awhile and go on with life. You didn’t get mad at anyone. But TK gets yanked and suddenly you want a piece of me.
Kari: Davis got voted off the right way. The other team saw him as a threat and removed him. TK was stabbed in the back by a little weasel that he trusted for some reason. And you wonder why I’m pissed at you?
Sana: (smiling) I don’t know. I was beginning to think that you were pissed at me because I got closer to TK than you ever will!
(Kari turns around. Dramatic pause as they stare at each other, then turn to the camera and bow. Shot of the other three, applauding the performance.)
Gerald: (kindly) Man, we are really, really, bored.
Arnold: Gerald, wanna have a staring contest to decide whether to vote off Kari or Wendy.
Gerald: I’m game!
Gerald: It’s Day 34, and we’ve come to realize that this is nowhere near as fun as it sounds. The first one looked really cool, but this is just boring! When Kari and Sana have to reenact scenes from the first Survivor just to get some dramatic tension in the tribe, you know we’re having problems.
Kari: Don’t get me wrong. I am seriously angry at Sana because she voted TK off. But I’m not the kind of person to blow up in her face, or to confront her. It’s all part of the game, and if I had to vote off somebody I liked to win, I’d probably do it. I’m not going to get that mad at Sana, even thought I do think she made the wrong decision.
Wendy: That Kari better lay off Sana! She’s my
rivalry! I am opposing Sana! She is my archrival, and not
Kari’s!!
Day Thirty-Five
(Shot of everybody playing Frisbee. Arnold throws it way up
in the air. Sana jumps up, way up, but can’t quite get high
enough to catch it. It sails over into the river.)
Sana: Sorry about that!
Arnold: Why, it’s my fault!
Sana: But I’m so starved of hunger I couldn’t jump high enough!
Arnold: Starved of hunger… that’s the worst kind.
Sana: I know!
Arnold: We try to be active, but it just doesn’t work that way. It’s like we’ve run into a wall of boredom. We’ve been here a month, and have done everything we need to do. Also, everybody’s pretty set on who they’re going to vote for tomorrow, so nobody’s talking much about that. We don’t have any reward challenges to break the boredom, so we can’t look forward to those. We’re starting to get a bit desperate. But I think that "escape from the cameramen" game is too much.
(Shot from the previous night. Arnold, Sana and Gerald are running into the woods. The camera is struggling to keep up.)
Sana: C’mon Arnold, we’re starting to lose them!
Gerald: Keep running!!
(The cameraman is still keeping up with them.)
Arnold: It’s sad. Very sad.
(Shot of the immunity challenge, as five shackled castaways run through a field, answering questions. Shot of Sana, trying to decide the answer.)
Sana: Oh… how am I supposed to know that?
(More shots, until settle on Kari, who crosses the finish line, completely unshackled.)
Mike: (VO) She must have been listening to our commentary last
episode, because Kari does in fact get her rear in gear and pulls
off an immunity win.
Day Thirty-Six
(Shot of Kari and Wendy, talking)
Kari: I’m just saying, I think she’s unpredictable.
Wendy: I’m just saying she’s an evil being that must be destroyed! Down with Sana!!
Kari: Wendy, you’re scaring me again.
Wendy: Sorry. It is just so boring here. If we don’t have pointless rivalries and stuff, it’s no fun.
Kari: You’re starting to sound like Akito.
Wendy: Yeah. Why didn’t the others tell us about the boring parts? I mean, didn’t Tai tell you about all the dull parts.
Kari: I think he was too busy sulking to be bored. But here, I don’t really have a grudge against Sana, so what am I supposed to do?
Wendy: I don’t know. Sit back, and dream of actually making the final four.
Kari: Yeah. I suppose it’ll be a real accomplishment for you. None of the South Park kids got this far last time.
Wendy: Yeah. I did my job, I one-upped Stan, but I’m still hoping I can do better. Wouldn’t it be great to win?
Kari: It’s an amazing feeling… (annoyed) And one that you’ll rant on and on about to your little sister until she finally gets sick of it and sets out to do the same thing just to spite…
(Kari looks back at Wendy and smiles.)
Kari: It would be awesome!
Wendy: Man, I can’t believe I’m this close. I almost
didn’t make the merger, but now I’m on the verge of the
final four. I can feel it Kari- nothing can stop me now.
Tribal Council
(Shot of Gerald voting for "WENDY")
Gerald: Really, you’re lucky you made the merger, and I
think it’s well past your bedtime now.
(Shot of Kari voting for "SANA")
Kari: It kinda makes sense. I’m just tired of all this, so
I’m just keeping up the charade of getting vengeance for
voting off TK. No big whoop, you know?
(Shot of Arnold voting for "WENDY")
Arnold: Wendy, you played a great game. I think it’s amazing
you were able to survive everybody. Anybody who can outlast Helga
deserves my respect.
(Shot of Wendy voting for "SANA")
Wendy: Strange… I ran out of "nasty rivalry"
things to say. But you know my feelings of hatred because
you… uh… what did you do? I forgot.
(Shot of Manny, reading off the last vote.)
Manny: And the final vote- Wendy.
Wendy: S**t!
Manny: Good reaction. Could you bring up your torch?
(Wendy complies)
Artie: (VO) All that, and we’re going in even? What a rip!
Episode Twelve Voting Record
Wendy- (3): Arnold, Gerald, Sana
Sana- (2): Kari, Wendy
Episode Thirteen- Day Thirty-Seven
(Shot of Artie and Mike, watching a television set screening
the real Survivor 2. Artie’s eyes blare open.)
Artie: A new car??!!
Mike: Boy… good thing we thought ahead and got rid of the reward challenges.
Artie: Thank you, that was my idea. I just saved the company forty grand, you are all my slaves now.
Mike: Um… who are you talking to?
(Shot of Arnold, sitting in front of the fire.)
Gerald: I dunno. It’s been hot, it’s been boring, I’m hungry, and I’m tired. I’m starting to forget why we’re even here.
Kari: I think we’re all about done. I mean, you can tell it’s almost over. None of us are at our full strength.
Sana: (hyper screaming) I can’t believe this thing is
almost done! It’s been so much fun but all my friends are
gone and there’s nobody left for me to talk to because
Arnold and Gerald are always together and I voted off TK-chan!!!
(Gerald walks up to Arnold)
Gerald: Hey, what’s up with you.
Arnold: It’s just starting to drone on, you know? Why are we bothering with all of this?
Gerald: Do you know how much money’s at stake? Like nine grand.
Arnold: Actually, considering how the yen’s been doing, it’s probably at about eight grand now.
Gerald: Whatever! Arnold, have you ever seen that kinda green?
Arnold: What, you’re just in this for the money?
Gerald: We’re starving out in the middle of nowhere. Do you think I’m doing this for my health?
Arnold: Hm… good point.
(Kari happens to walk by.)
Gerald: Yeah, we’re all doing this for the money. Kari? You in here for the money?
Kari: Heck no, I’m in here to upstage Tai!
(Kari continues offscreen. Arnold smiles.)
Arnold: Oddly enough, I like that reason better.
Day Thirty-Eight
(Shot of a large hill, and Arnold walking up it.)
Arnold: I often like to go up to the top of this hill to think. It gets me away from all these other people and I get a chance to reflect on everything. It’s been a wild ride, and the biggest hill hasn’t arrived yet. I’m fortunate to still be here, and I think I’m even more fortunate that Gerald’s with me.
(Dramatic shots of Arnold, admiring the view from on top of the hill.)
(Shot of Kari, Gerald, and Sana watching him from a distance)
Sana: So what the heck does he do up there?
Gerald: I don’t know. I don’t think man’s supposed to know.
Kari: He’s your friend.
Gerald: Yeah, but he does some pretty freaky stuff on the side.
Kari/Sana: Ooh, like what?
Gerald: You don’t want to know.
Kari/Sana: Yes we do!
Gerald: Let’s see, should I start with his pet pig?
Kari: He’s got a pet pig?
Sana: That’s nothing, my mom’s got a pet squirrel!
(Kari and Gerald stare at Sana)
Gerald: Maybe it’s better we didn’t have that reward challenge…
Kari: Meeting Sana’s mother would certainly scare me out of here.
Gerald: That’s nothing… we may have had to meet Arnold’s grandparents.
Kari: Yeah, and my mom would make us change our diet because it’s too unhealthy.
Gerald: What diet? We ain’t eating at all.
Kari: …your point being?
Day Thirty-Nine
(A memory matching game is being played for immunity. Gerald
is going through, and picks up a lid revealing a digivice.)
Manny: Okay… the digivice.
Gerald: Let’s see… was that under this one…
(Nope. He lifts it, revealing a cute little white bat-creature with a heart on its stomach.)
Babbit: Finally! Babbit has found his way onto the show! The real star of Child’s Toy is on the air, look at…
(Gerald replaces the lid. Kari steps up, lifts off the Babbit, then goes to another spot and reveals yet another Babbit.)
Babbit: Yes! Good work Kari-chan!
(The Babbits fly over, kiss Kari on the cheek, then go over to her bench, where Sana is standing.)
Babbits: Hey Sana!
Sana: Go away.
(Shot of the field being cleared out, and Kari being declared the winner.)
Mike: (VO) In the end, Kari Kamiya scores immunity again, improving her streak to two straight. Just a regular Colby she is.
Arnold: In a way, I’m almost glad Kari won immunity.
Gerald and Sana were going to vote her off, but we’ve been
doing that for so long I’m starting to get a bit tired of
all this. I’m not a fan of picking people off for no good
reason. I’ve been doing it because I’m trying to help
me and Gerald win the game, but it just eats at you… almost
like that flesh- eating virus we had a few days ago. That was
ugly. It’s just a good thing they have medicine for
everything.
Tribal Council
(Shot of Arnold, voting for "SANA")
Arnold: Thanks Kari, you made this a lot easier.
(Shot of Sana, voting for "GERALD")
Sana: I don’t know what to say. We were supposed to vote for
Kari. Too bad!
(Shot of Gerald, voting for "SANA")
Gerald: You’ve served us beautifully Sana, but you are now
dismissed.
(Shot of Kari, voting for "SANA")
Kari: Well, since you liked him so much, you can be reunited with
TK-chan.
(Shot of Sana, taking her torch up to Manny.)
Artie: And by a unanimous vote, Sana Kurata will be rapping in the jury. Good riddance to non-commercial anime.
Episode Thirteen Voting Record
Sana- (3): Arnold, Gerald, Kari
Gerald- (1): Sana
Episode Fourteen- Day Forty
Gerald: You know, something strange happens when you get to the finals… the game suddenly stops.
(Shot of Arnold and Gerald, talking like buddies. Slowly pan over to Kari, simply watching them.)
Kari: This is it. I’m alone. Arnold and Gerald came in as best friends and they continue to be best friends. It just feels… ackward being here while those two are so close. I am absolutely positive that the only reason I’m here is because I won immunity those times. That’s it. My alliance lost, my friends lost, and except for me, my tribe has lost. And I’m going to try my best to keep the trophy on our side of the Pacific… but that doesn’t change those nights when I feel left out of conversations or just simply feel ignored.
Arnold: We don’t talk strategy or alliances or stuff anymore. It’s not about that. Unless she wins immunity again, Kari’s gone. I know it, Gerald knows it, Kari knows it. And I think it’s a bit strange that even though we’ve been together so long, I’m not sure if we’ve really accepted Kari as one of us. And if we haven’t, that’s a crying shame.
(Kari begins to walk away. After she’s off screen, Arnold slowly stands up and approaches her.)
Arnold: Hey.
Kari: Hey.
Arnold: Wow… it’s still unbelievable. The final three. Have you ever stopped to think about that?
(Kari’s about to shrug him off, but then looks at him a second. They continue to walk.)
Kari: You know something? I don’t know if I have or not. I mean, everything you hear about is winning. It’s one person beating fifteen others, the one ultimate survivor. But wow… this is the last episode, and that’s really something. One of us three is really going to do it. It’s an amazing accomplishment.
(Arnold nods)
Kari: You know what I think it is with me? Tai.
Arnold: Oh yeah…
Kari: How am I supposed to compete with that? After all those times he’s talked about it, I think I’ve almost been desensitized to it.
Kari: I have been desensitized a bit. You can only take so much, and when I was selected to do this, I have to admit that the only reason I originally came here was to win. It seemed so simple. But I’m starting to realize that I’ve gone a really long way on my own. And even if I don’t follow in the footsteps of my brother, it’s fine by me. Because I did extremely well too. I’m in the final three, I’m the last one from my show, I’m the last one from my tribe, and I’ve done a heck of a lot. But it’s not over yet…
(Arnold and Kari are seated together)
Arnold: Kari… what’s it like to win? I know it’s weird, but what did your brother say about it? What’s it feel like?
Kari: Seriously… (smiling) it’s awesome. I don’t know if I ever really realized what he did until now. But to get through all that, he said it was one of the most exhilarating experiences in his life.
Arnold: Besides saving the world, of course.
Kari: Oh yeah, that too.
(Kari and Arnold laugh)
Gerald: Is it me, or is Arnold being more friendly to Kari all of a sudden. I know we should include her in the group, but I’m starting to get really suspicious all of a sudden. It’s getting to the point where I can’t trust anybody. This is when all the backstabbers come out, so even though he’s my buddy, I gotta keep an eye on him.
Arnold: I’m just talking to Kari more, simply to keep her involved. This is supposed to be fun, besides the starvation and boredom, but you just can’t have it if there’s nobody to talk to. She’s the last one left, and we gotta treat her good before she’s removed.
Kari: I am extremely happy that Arnold’s taken time to
talk to me more now. I know we’re on opposite sides, and
that he’s voted off all my friends, but he is still a really
nice guy, and one that I would still like to be friends with
afterwards.
Day Forty-One
(Gerald and Kari are making little totems. Kari’s looks
average, Gerald doesn’t seem to be putting much of an effort
into it.)
Artie: (VO) In order to give something back to the land,
we’ve asked that they each make a totem to reflect their
experiences here.
Kari: Jeez… what is this, some stupid arts and crafts day?
Gerald: I know, I came here to get away from all of this.
Kari: I don’t hate art, but I’ve got better things to… uh, Arnold?
(Pan over to Arnold, whose totem looks like a masterpiece, with small images of previously removed players, situations arisen, and a few flashing lights here and there.)
Kari: Aren’t you taking this a little seriously?
Arnold: What was that?
Gerald: How’d you get those lights?
Arnold: I’m just using what they gave us? I just rigged up a little perpetual motion system. Really, it’s just an encircling series of colors moving around, although it creates the image of light. Pretty neat huh?
Kari: Being stranded for forty days does things to your head, doesn’t it?
(Shot of the three, walking along a ridge, they pass a torch, with Milhouse’s name on it. A shot of Milhouse appears, but the scene quickly goes into fast-forward mode, as it goes through each of the previous thirteen in rapid succession.)
Manny: (VO) Sorry, but come on! This is the really boring part. Do we honestly need a minute-long nostalgic look at Phoebe’s contribution to the game?
Artie: (VO) Manny! Stop that, everybody gave their own little share. We need to reflect on that.
Manny: (VO) Mike, what do you think?
Mike: (VO) Skip it.
Manny: (VO) The tribe has spoken!!
Tribal Council
(Shot of the jury- Davis, Helga, Akito, TK, Wendy, and Sana,
walking in and sitting down.)
Manny: (OS) Take a good look at this jury. You’ve all had
time to reflect on the previous thirteen that were unable to do
what you have done. These six, plus whoever gets voted off today,
will be the ones to determine the final victor. Therefore, it
seems fitting that the final immunity challenge focuses on the
first thirteen castaways. I’ll ask a series of questions
about the first thirteen. Whoever gets the most right wins
immunity, and thereby chooses who is voted off.
(Shot of Kari, Arnold, Gerald, looking focused, and are analyzing the jury, trying to remember them.)
Manny: First question… what is Milhouse’s last name?
Kari/Arnold/Gerald: (OS) WHAT??!!
(Shot of Manny, answering a question.)
Manny: The three castaways who have visited Europe are Eliza,
Kenny, and TK. Since Arnold and Kari at least got one of them
right, I’ll give them a point, because there’s no
reason it should be scoreless through seven questions. Question
eight- who is most likely to say "Get away from me, you
stupid f**ker?"
(Gerald, Arnold, and Kari non-chalantly write "Kenny"
on their pads.)
Manny: (OS) Kenny is correct.
(Dissolve again. Manny is looking very frustrated.)
Manny: Gerald? You couldn’t remember the name of the town
Helga lives in?
Gerald: Uh… slipped my mind?
Manny: This series has sunk to a new low. Gerald, with only one right answer, you are mathematically eliminated from winning. Arnold and Kari? With three right answers each, this final question will determine immunity. I have a pair of shorts, who do they belong to?
(Arnold and Kari examine the pair of shorts, smell them, reel
back from the stench, and write down an answer. Arnold says
"TK," Kari says "Akito.")
Manny: And the correct answer is… Akito. Congratulations
Kari, you have one immunity… again. This is getting boring.
Kari: Not for me it isn’t!
(Kari takes the talisman)
Arnold: Wow… how did you know they were Akito’s?
Kari: Simple… he’s not wearing them right now.
(Pan over to Akito, who is in fact not wearing any pants, although his legs are placed strategically. He is also in his sly "leopard" mode. Back to Manny.)
Manny: Kari. Arnold and Gerald, despite being bestest buddies, have no choice but to vote for each other. You, on the other hand, can pick one of the two to go. Work your magic, Kari-chan!
(A few look at Manny, strangely. Manny remains confident.)
Manny: For the record, it’s a very appropriate honorific.
TK: (muttering) Yeah, when you’re saying it to a girl.
Sana: (dreamy) TK-chan…
(Manny retrieves the urn, and is about to read off the vote.)
Manny: Well. Arnold, Gerald? I’m sure you were aiming to have other people select which one of you two made it… but it’s a bit earlier than you expected, huh?
Gerald: Just read the vote.
Manny: Kari’s opponent in the finals win not be this person, the fourteenth person voted off… Arnold.
(Shot of the slip, with "ARNOLD" written on it. Arnold nods, does that hand-knock thing with Gerald, hugs Kari, and takes his torch up.)
Artie: (VO) Kari has made her decision, and has chosen to oppose Gerald Johanssen in the finals! You can only wonder what drove her to this incredulous decision.
Day Forty-Two
(Kari and Gerald are basically going through, tearing the
place apart, and burning whatever they can find.)
Kari: (singing) You get to burning!
Gerald: I hate to say it, but this is pretty fun!
Kari: It’s been a blast, but we can finally go home now!
Gerald: Yeah, ever since they kidnapped us and forced us away from home, I didn’t know if I’ve ever seen them again.
Mike: (VO) Note to self, edit out the kidnapping reference.
Kari: Yeah, it’ll feel good to leave.
Gerald: But I got a question- why’d you pick me over Arnold? I just won’t feel right until I find out.
Kari: Oh, I have my reasons. I don’t have anything against either of you, so it was kind of a spontaneous decision. I hadn’t given it much thought.
Kari: I ran through every situation in my head, every possibility, anything that could give me an edge. I can’t say I like Gerald all that much, and I liked Arnold a lot, but there’s one simple reason- strategy. Strategy, strategy, strategy. I think it’ll be easier to win against Gerald than Arnold, and that's a good strategy when you win the last immunity challenge. Suck on that Tai!
(Shot of Kari and Gerald, shaking hands.)
Gerald: Good luck.
Kari: Yep. Strange how it’s one Japanese against one American again.
Gerald: I know. Most of the time, one tribe completely dominates the other one until there’s no one left in the finals.
Kari: Well, this place is so unpredictable, you can never tell.
(Shot of Gerald and Kari taking their torches up to Tribal Council. The jury narrates.)
Davis: And now, the power shifts back to us. The jury. Seven people are going to get their chance to right wrongs, and to decide who most deserves to win. It’s a big decision, and everybody should be mentally prepared to handle the ongoing difficulties of… uh… hey, hold those cue cards higher I can’t read them! I like this stuff, it makes me sound smart!
Helga: Let’s see, it’s down to Kari or Geraldo. I’m friends with Gerald, but really, I’m not just going to vote for him automatically. It’s a tough choice, especially because I don’t really care.
Akito: Somebody’s gotta win. Somebody’s gotta lose. Frankly, I don’t know either one of those two, so I can’t say I care.
TK: I know it’s hard not to play favorites… so I’m not going to. Go Kari!!
Wendy: TK and Davis will probably vote for Kari. Helga and Arnold will probably vote for Gerald. Therefore, it’s up to me and Sana and Akito to pick who really deserves to win. Unfortunately, I don’t hate Gerald or Kari, so it’s not going to be any fun.
Sana: (rapping) Gotta taking all the notes, gotta pick the proper votes! Could be Gerald, could be Kari, someone’s winning, someone’s sorry, voting all my anger on a little stupid card!
Arnold: (with laughter heard offscreen) No, seriously, I’m going to vote the person who deserves it the most. It could be either Gerald or Kari. I’m going to listen to their cases and pick the better person. Would you stop laughing!?
Artie: (behind the camera, laughing) Sorry, you just sound so serious!
Tribal Council
(Kari and Gerald walk into council, and sit down. Shot of
Manny.)
Manny: I’m sure you know the rules by now. And also, as we did last time, we would like to prevent any kind of tribal loyalty from sinking in by having Artie Elker and Mike Storch as our guest jury.
(Mike and Artie enter, and sit down next to the jury. Artie quickly flashes a "thumbs up" to Gerald. Shot of Manny, looking apprehensive.)
Manny: On second thought, considering all the backstabbing that went on, the kids are going to be more objective than you two. Take a hike!
Artie: But I wanted to vote…
Manny: Sorry, Artie, maybe next time.
Artie: Aw… you got to vote last time…
Manny: I didn’t have a show in the finals.
Artie: Yeah, but all your shows suck.
(Artie walks away dejectedly, as does Mike.)
Manny: My shows sucking has nothing to do with any of this. Anyway, Gerald, Kari, please make your opening arguments.
(Shot of Kari.)
Kari: I had a lot of trouble deciding what I wanted to say here.
I could have said something about my friends, and how they got
voted off. I could say something about everything we’ve been
through. And of course, I could talk about Tai, and how I’m
trying to follow in his footsteps. In the end, I’m not
anybody in a special situation. Just like Gerald, I’m in
this game, I’m in the finals, and I’m trying to win. I
don’t think I could say anything that’s intended to
swing your vote to me, but rather that I don’t want to be
treated any differently based on my friends. I want to be known
for myself, Kari Kamiya.
(Shot of Gerald.)
Gerald: Members of the jury, hosts, opponent… I could make a
big spiel about how I’m not really after your votes and how
I will be happy either way. But we all know that that’s not
what we’re thinking right now. I want to win. And I’m
sure Kari wants to win. And we’re going to go all out to try
to secure your votes to claim victory. So rather than try to act
humble and stuff I’ll just point out three things. One, I
respect you. You all did good to get where you did. Two, you
respect us. We did better. Could have been by luck, strategy, or
whatever, we’re in the finals and you aren’t. Finally,
although we’ll both be happy no matter what the outcome, one
particular outcome will make either Kari or myself even happier.
(Shot of Manny)
Manny: Okay, each jury member gets the chance to ask one question. We’ll start with Arnold.
(Arnold steps up.)
Arnold: Both of you have two people in the jury whom you’ve
known well before we got here. For Gerald, it’s myself and
Helga. For Kari, it’s TK and Davis. At this point, we are
probably your two biggest assets in the jury. So my question is
this- would you rather have them fighting on your side in the
jury, or would you rather have them at your side as your
opponent?
Kari: Well, I’m going to be perfectly honest. I strongly doubted that I would be in the finals with either TK or Davis. I’m amazed that both you and Gerald were capable of making the final three, and it’s a testament to good friendship. But if I were in the same situation, and had to choose to either oppose say you or TK… then I’d probably choose TK. Even if it costs me a guaranteed vote at council, I’d rather have him at my side.
Gerald: I agree. I think it would have been awesome to have
you in her place Arnold. But she earned her spot here, and chose
to remove you, so I’ll have to be content with seeing you in
the jury. But it is another testament to friendship to see the
people you like fighting to get you the win, and if I do win,
I’ll know that it was because of a team effort.
(Arnold stands down. Davis stands up.)
Davis: I’ve given this a lot of thought and… Kari,
why’d you say you and TK in that example instead of you and
me?
Kari: Is that your question?
Davis: Yep.
Kari: Uh well…
Manny: (OS) It’s Gerald’s turn to go first.
Gerald: Um… does this question even apply to me?
Davis: (OS) Answer me dammit!!
(Shot of Akito, as he stands up.)
Akito: There are seven of us in the jury that could be in your
place with a little better luck. If you were to pick five of us
to be in your shoes, who would you not pick?
Manny: Didn’t you steal that from the real show?
Akito: It’s a damn good question.
Kari: Oh, well… I’d have to say you and Wendy.
Gerald: You and Davis… no offense.
Akito: Thank you. You didn’t help me one bit.
(Akito sits down.)
(Wendy is watching as Kari answers her question.)
Kari: (OS) …and that’s what they need to do in order to
make the justice system in Belgium more efficient, and better
serving its people.
Wendy: You both raise intriguing points… something I’ll have to consider.
(Wendy sits down and Manny takes her spot.)
Manny: Okay, jury, you’ve heard the testimony, now you can go vote.
Gerald: Hey, don’t we get a final argument?
Manny: Nah, I’m tired. Arnold, go vote. Remember- it’s for the person you want to win.
(Arnold is voting for "GERALD")
Arnold: Really, I’m being objective. Seriously.
(TK is voting for "KARI")
TK: Am I being objective? Hell no.
(We can’t see who Sana votes for. Helga votes for
"GERALD")
Helga: Hey, it’ll be more cool if one of the kids from our
show won. That’s about it.
(We can’t see who Wendy votes for. Davis is holding
"GERALD" and listening to a cameraman.)
Davis: Oh… we’re supposed to vote for who wins!
Right…
(Davis tosses the vote aside and writes "KARI" on a new
one.)
(Akito writes his vote down, and before the camera can pick up
on who it is, Akito swiftly puts it in the bin.)
Akito: There. Now you can’t ask me about it.
(Manny is with a bin.)
Manny: Okay, now I’m sure you’ve waited a long time, and you’ll have to wait longer, as the final votes will be counted live when this airs. Until then, Artie will take this away for safe keeping.
(Manny hands the bin to Artie, who hops on a helicopter that conveniently flies by. It takes off.)
Manny: He’s gone, let’s do it.
(Mike brings in the real bin and hands it to Manny.)
Manny: He’s been a real pain lately… I just wanted to get rid of him. Let’s count these and get this over with. First vote… Gerald.
(Shot of Gerald, who’s holding on to Kari, extremely nervous. Kari’s just looking at Gerald strangely.)
Manny: (OS) Kari. And Gerald.
(Kari is looking nervous as well. Back to Manny.)
Manny: And Kari, and Gerald again. It’s a 3-3 tie. Isn’t it weird it always comes down to one vote. Hey, you two okay?
(Kari and Gerald are frozen in apprehension, clinging to each other.)
Manny: (OS) And the winner of Animation Survivor 2… defeating fifteen others and claiming the title of Ultimate Survivor the second…
(Obligatory suspense space.)
(More obligatory suspense space)
(It is a smorgasbord of obligatory suspense space!!)
(Manny pulls out the card, showing "GERALD." Back to
Gerald and Kari.)
Manny: (OS) Gerald.
(Gerald suddenly stands up and raises his arms, dropping a still frozen Kari to the floor.)
Gerald: Cool!
(Kari slowly stands up, with a headache.)
Kari: Uh… congratulations Gerald.
(Gerald grabs Kari and starts dancing with her, singing.)
Gerald: (happy singing) Do a little dance… make a little love… get down tonight!
(Manny approaches.)
Manny: Gerald Johanssen?
(Gerald drops Kari again.)
Gerald: Yes?
Manny: Congratulations, you are this year’s ultimate survivor.
Gerald: (humble) Thank you. It’s an honor.
(Gerald happily goes over, to high-five Arnold, certainly not being humble. Kari gets up, seemingly tired, and goes over to TK and Davis.)
Davis: I voted for you!!
Kari: (tired) Yeah, thanks.
TK: What’s the matter? Sad because you lost?
Kari: (tired) A little…
TK: Because you know you did really good. I was very proud of you, you survived for forty-two days and…
Kari: (not into it) Yeah, yeah, don’t remind me.
Davis: Are you okay? Finally glad to get it over with?
Kari: I need a hug.
(Davis quickly seizes the opportunity and wraps his arms around Kari.)
Kari: Davis I… whatever. I don’t feel like being picky.
(Kari lightly receives it. TK shakes his head, and broadsided by a hugging Sana.)
Sana: TK-chan!
TK: Hi Sana.
Sana: Hugs for everybody!
(Shot of Arnold and Gerald, who hug.)
(Shot of Helga, who shrugs, and hugs Wendy.)
(Shot of Mike and Manny.)
Manny: This is one messed up ending…
(Akito walks in and looks at Manny.)
Akito: You’re the only one left.
(Akito hugs Manny, very unemotionally.)
Mike: Man… she wins immunity three times in a row, doesn’t get a single vote cast against her, and still loses in the end! Goes to show that there’s a first time for everything.
Manny: (still glancing at Akito oddly) Um… what about Kelly?
Mike: Kelly? What anime is she from?
Manny: Never mind.
(Manny turns to the camera to close things off.)
Manny: And in the end, Gerald Johanssen of Hey Arnold defeats Kari Kamiya of Digimon by a 4-3 vote to become this season’s winner. On behalf of Mike Storch and Artie Elker, I’m Manny Edwards and you are a stupider person for having watched this.
Mike: But this fall, get ready for something that we might put an effort into. Adam Pulver, the producer behind the original Animation Survivor and The Mole: Anime Edition is back behind the computer for a sequel… so we don’t have to do it behind his back like this time. For the details, here’s Barb Bresnick in an undisclosed location.
(Barb Bresnick, head of the Cartoon Network division, is
standing in what appears to be a very futuristic location, much
like a space station.)
Barb: For a long time, the powers of animation can do things that
live action never could. And this fall, we’ll be taking full
advantage of those powers, and bring you an experience never seen
before. In live action, The Mole provides a fantastic adventure
through many countries. And our original Mole: Anime Edition did
the same. But this fall, fourteen new contestants from six
different animes try to solve the mystery of which one among them
is a traitor. But instead of taking them through several
countries, we get things started with a bang. Literally.
(Zoom out, to show a window next to Barb, with a cratery
surface shown outside.)
Barb: Believe it or not, I am currently on the surface of
Earth’s Moon. And using technologies only available in
futuristic animes, we’ll be bringing all of our contestants
up here. And that’s all in the first episode! Catch all the
action this fall in "The Mole 2: Anime Edition."
It’s out of this world!
(Shot of Mike and Manny, as the nine players are mingling normally.)
Mike: So… Barb’s on the Moon… I was going to say we should send Artie to Africa… but you just can’t top that!
Manny: Do it anyway. I think that’s the lesson of all this Mike… even if you can’t top something… do it anyway, regardless of how bad it ends up!
Mike: That wasn't a very good lesson.
(Manny shakes his head)
Manny: This wasn’t a very good fanfic…
