51.04-My theme song

   

In the previous episode, the contestants had to try and answer questions based on what they think the minority answer was. At the end of the mission, only Cam, Myrtle, Jim and Preston did not get eliminated and 53/110 points were earned to bring the pot to 63/230 points. Another execution is coming soon. Will contestants be able to save themselves?

Eric: "It turns out that there's a long-term benefit to fail in the first mission. I now have more information than most of the others and that's making me a hot stock."

*

*

*

Larry: "Come on man. Help a bro out?"

Eric: "You were the first to get an exemption. You don't need my help."

Larry: "I don't have an exemption any more. We share a same room. Won't you help me?"

Eric: "Let me consider."

Eric: "Alright, since we're bros. Let's make a coalition at that."

Larry: "All right! Now you're talking."

George: "How long have you been sitting there?"

Preston: "George, can I ask you something?"

George: "Definitely. Ask away."

Preston: "Do you believe that we can communicate with the dead?"

George: "Of course. Ghosts exists. It's well documented, even across fandoms."

Preston: "I don't mean ghosts. I mean tombstones. Or coffins. Basically, when the dead are still six feet under."

George: "Oh. I don't actually have the answers to that. But it's not impossible."

Preston: "Why do you believe me?"

George: "Because I don't always know everything. And you're an honest chap. You wouldn't lie to me about this."

Molly: "Molly MacRitchie, war may yong gunnnnnn, joe, siachi~"

Eddy: "Oh! Sorry, I should've knocked first."

Molly: "It's fine. I was just putting on makeup."

Eddy: "What song were you humming, by the way? It sounds familiar."

Molly: "It's my theme song."

Eddy: "Theme song?"

Molly: "Yeah. To Molly and the Cuckoo-cotches."

Eddy: "Why does that sound familiar?"

Eddy: "Oh! You're that Molly? I watched your shows as a kid! Not that you're old. We're about the same age. But wow. How could I not have realised?"

Eddy: "In fact, you hardly changed. You're like your child self, just...taller."

Molly: "You can say it. Many already have. My agency wanted me to keep that persona. It suits my personality though. Or maybe I've been playing the cute girl for so long that it's become my identity."

Myrtle: "What are you doing alone here?"

Wendy: "Reflecting."

Myrtle: "About the mission?"

Wendy: "Do you think I failed?"

Myrtle: "You did your best."

Wendy: "I should have done better than that."

Myrtle: "Don't be so hard on yourself. It's like that question - there's no such thing as perfection."

Myrtle: "If you're really bothered about it, then work harder in the next mission. I believe you can do it."

Wendy: "That's not what I wanted to hear..."

Petunia: "Oh no, he saw me!"

Eric: "Where are you going?"

Petunia: "Nowhere...erm, do you always like to walk around shirtless?"

Eric: "If you got it, flaunt it. It's my hot bod that got me a gig with A&F as a storefront model. At least before they shut that idea down."

Petunia: "You're an A&F model? If only I can be a confident as you."

Eric: "Don't doubt yourself, Petunia. You're beautiful and you've got style. Only someone with confidence can pull of the look the way you do."

Petunia: "Oh stop it. You're making me blush."

Eric: "I know you're curious. I'll let you feel my abs, free of charge."

Petunia: "...Can I?"

George: "There's so much to know about the world and I want to share my knowledge with everyone who's interested. So I took it upon myself to start an info club. We each take an encyclopedia and take turns sharing an interesting fact from it."

Molly: "Oh, did you know that there are about 700 known species of dinosaurs?"

George: "Yes, and all non-avian dinosaurs went extinct about 66 million years ago."

Jim: "There has to be something that you don't know. I don't believe your brain is an actual supercomputer. Aha! I bet you don't know how many pleats a chef's hat has."

George: "100."

Jim: "What is the average lifespan of a bonobo?"

George: "40 years in captivity. Fun fact: we share approximately 98.7% of our DNA with them."

Myrtle: "You're like an info guru."

Jim: "Know-it-all."

Molly: "What's with him?"

Myrtle: "Beats me. He's always been cranky."

George: "That's very rude. But let's continue without him. Is there anything else you ladies would like to know about bonobos?"

Petunia: "Is it true that you're the wife of a real estate tycoon?"

Cam: "How did you know?"

Petunia: "Molly told me."

Petunia: "So are you, like, uber rich?"

Cam: "I have enough to live comfortably."

Petunia: "Don't be modest. Even the way you walk carries that air of a rich missus."

Petunia: "I don't mean to be rude, but are you a gold digger?"

Cam: "What?"

Cam: "If that's how you view me, I'm leaving."

Petunia: "Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Cam: "I am not a gold digger."

Petunia: "But you don't think everyone has to marry for love. That means you didn't marry for love. If it's not love, then it has to be money."

Petunia: "Let me guess. You were poor and wanted a sugar daddy so that you don't have to work a single day in your life."

Cam: "Yes, I was poor. But I would not do something as immoral as that. I did not marry him for his money."

Petunia: "Then what?"
Cam: "I don't have to explain to you."
