23.08-Cancer

Ruby: “Ronald, you look really troubled.”

Ronald: “I’m just worried about dear Theresa.”

Ruby: “I’m sure she’s fine. Why don’t you trust production to take care of things? I’m sure they’re humane enough to ensure a sickly lady is attended to. If you don’t mind me asking, what is she down with anyway? She’s been sick for two seasons now.”

 

Ronald: “Cancer.”

Ruby: “What?”

Ronald: “Stage 4. Lungs.”

Ruby: “I’m sorry to hear that. She should be receiving treatment instead of joining this show. Or are you strapped for cash and want to earn the money? If so, I can willingly pull out.”

Ronald: “No, there’s no need to do that. That wretched woman refused to listen to me when I told her to stop smoking. She brought it on herself. And she seems well enough to fool around in bed on national TV!”

Ruby: “What? When did that happen?”

Ronald: “Last season. Blair admitted it.”

Ruby: “He just likes to stir trouble up. I’m sure that’s not true. I mean, they did make out—“

Ronald: “WHAT!?”

Ruby: “But she was apologetic! And to be fair, it was Blair’s fault!”

Ronald: “That woman should go and die.”

Ruby: “I’m sure you don’t mean that.”

Ronald: “I heard enough.”

Ruby: “I hope I didn’t cause a rift in their relationship…how could I have been so careless?”

Ulysses: “This washing machine is so noisy. I’m getting out of here.”

Ulysses: “Hey, that’s my makeup case!”

Judith: “It is? Oh, so sorry! I forgot you used makeup.”

Ulysses: “It’s okay. I guess you like my makeup.”

Ulysses: “You know, I have a feeling we can be best buds.”

Judith: “Totally. Keep in contact after the show?”

Ulysses: “Totally.”

“Welcome to the final execution ceremony you will probably have to sit through. One of you will not join Ronald in the finale. Who will it be?”

“Ulysses Wayne Dez.”

 

“Unfortunately, you have been the last to be executed. Please pack your bags and leave.”

Ulysses: “I bear no regrets. I had a great time. Who can say that they get two tries on the Smole, once as a Mole and once as a player? I still managed to get far, so I’m proud of that. Good luck to the rest, though you probably don’t need it because you know who the Mole is already. I was torn between two, but I guess I chose the wrong option.”

“Thank you Ulysses for joining the Smole.”

Judith: “This is it! We’re in the finale! I can’t believe it! I made it so far!”

Ruby: “I’m so happy for all of you.”

Ronald: “I bet you’re going to win, Ruby. You’re the veteran here.”

Ruby: “Oh, only time will tell. I’ll be going to bed first. Good night.”

Judith: “Well, I find it weird that the last in place could climb up so much.”

Ronald: “Speak for yourself. Now go away. I have some pent tension.”

Ronald: “Gah! Go in you stupid ball!”

Only 3 left! Who will win, and who is the Mole?
