Ocean's Eight - Or Nine

'''The two teams compete in three bank heist themed challenges as one castmate starts regretting their past behavior. Then the action really heats up when an old player returns to the show. It all leads up to the losing team sending one of their best friends home.'''

Plot
The two teams sit in the craft services tent eating breakfast. The Screaming Gaffers harass LeShawna about lying to them in One Flu Over the Cuckoos. LeShawna leaves, and is kidnapped by an intern waiting outside. Owen happily eats with the Killer Grips, after finally having his jaw un-wired. He goes into the kitchen to get seconds, but is also kidnapped by an intern. Chris comes in to explain the challenge; Owen and LeShawna are inside a bank vault, and their respective teams need to bust them out. After several failed attempts by both teams, Beth uses her perfume, which smells like chicken, to make Owen hungry enough that he busts out of the safe on his own. Seeing that the Grips have taken the lead, the Gaffers decide leave LeShawna in the vault (where she stays for the rest of the episode). Both teams move onto the second part of the challenge; robbing a bank.

Duncan brings Harold and Heather to the boys' trailer to work on burglary equipment, which he makes out of much of Harold's treasured items. The Gaffers get to the bank first, after Owen's hunger slows down the Grips. Duncan hold the bank teller at gun point, with a homemade glue gun. The teller reveals herself to be Courtney, causing Duncan to pass out. Chris allows Courtney to award either team a bag of "loot." Courtney gives it to the Gaffers, so the Grips get second place; Courtney on their team. The Grips, and Courtney, are unhappy about this.

Chris brings the castmates to the top of the hill on the set (as seen in Riot on Set) for the third part of the challenge; building and racing getaway cars. Duncan gets right to work, building one easily. Courtney does most of the work for the Grips, as Justin is worried he'll damage his fingers, and Beth and Lindsay are running from Owen because he thinks they are an ice cream cone and soda bottle, respectively. The Gaffers starts racing, with the Grips nowhere near done. Beth, Lindsay, and Owen return after damaging some wheels. The Grips start running and carrying the car down the hill. The Gaffers go through a rack of clothing, several posters, and an old man. The Grips catch up when the Gaffers run out of gas. The Grips' car falls apart, however, giving the Gaffers time to push their car across the finish line. Chris announces that the Screaming Gaffers have won.

At the Award Ceremony, Chris tell the Grips that they aren't allowed to vote for Courtney, as that it part of her contract. Chris gives awards to Beth, Lindsay, and Justin. Chris then reveals that every member of the team voted for Courtney, despite his warning. Thus, only Courtney's vote counts, and she voted for Owen. Owen gives a farewell speech, and Beth, Lindsay, and Justin give him their awards. He falls to the ground saying, "I love this show." Inevitably, Chris and Chef forget about Leshawna's being still in the vault and ends the episode.

Quotes

 * Chris: Time for some more Total Drama Action. (drives his car into a tree) Awww, crap.

Duncan: What? Heather: Vandal! (looks to her other side at Harold) Nerd. (Harold blows a raspberry at her) LeShawna: We have to all stop acting like babies, or everyone of us is going home. Harold: (in confessional) Ever since LeShawna sold us all up the river for a day at the spa, I've finally come to see that she's only looking out for herself. Of course, if I looked like that, I'd probably just look at myself all day too! Uhhh, but she's a bad, selfish person! Bad...(smiles)..so bad.
 * (all cast-mates are in the mess hall; Heather looks at Duncan, cutting the wooden table)

LeShawna: Nobody's gonna argue with her?! Harold: Sounds like an entertaining read. LeShawna: (angrily and upset) I'm going back to the trailer. Duncan: Try not to let the door hit your butt on the way out! Heather: (interrupts) Door? It's a tent, idiot boy! (all talking while LeShawna is leaving) Duncan: Um, it's a figure of speech. Harold: What you should have said was, "Don't let the flap flutter-- Duncan and Heather: Shut up, Harold! LeShawna: (outside the mess hall tent) They're gonna pay. LeShawna's revenge-- (an intern "bags" LeShawna and takes her away)
 * Heather: Come on, you guys. (referring to "One Flu Over the Cuckoos") What LeShawna did is for the best. Nobody needs a day at the spa, like she does. In fact, you could write a "tell-all" book about her hair-do called "Weave [We've] Got Problems"!

Justin: (looks disgusted) More like 10 normal people.
 * Owen: I am back on track! My jaws are wired, and back in business! I can finally eat like normal people! (begins to scarf food down rapidly)

Beth: What an entrance! Chris: Consider it a hint to this week's movie genre! Duncan: Is it "Lame-O, Rock-Climbing, Wannabe Host" movies? Chris: No. This week we're paying tribute to the action packed, bank-heist, gangster, caper films. Justin: Uh, Chris? (refers to Owen) Our team is missing a player. Heather: (refers to LeShawna) So is ours, but we don't care. Chris: Owen and LeShawna are gone, people because rescuing them is the first part of your challenge. Beth: (gasps regularly) Lindsay: (gasps shockingly) Justin: (gasps weakly) Lindsay: (gasps again) Duncan: (yawns) Oh, pardon me.
 * (Chris cuts a rectangular hole through the Craft Services tent and comes down by a rope)

LeShawna (inside separate bank vault) Dank as this bank tank is, it still beats hanging with my so-called teammates. Seriously, they've been giving me major 'tude for actually playing the game; like they would have done anything different.
 * Owen: (inside bank vault) Helloooooooooo?? I can handle being ambushed and carried away by unknown thugs who keep saying "Whoa, this dude is heavy!" but would it kill them to put a little catering in the vault?


 * Duncan: (in confessional; referring to attempts to open the bank vault door) The H-bombs, Harold and Heather, were so busy trying to figure out who's the world's biggest dweeb that they totally forgot I'm an experienced criminal. Frankly, it was a little insulting.

Lindsay: Ohhhh! My junior high locker combination! (putting in her school locker combination) It didn't change the whole three years I was in Grade 8, so it must be standard! (tries to open the vault, but to no avail) Oh, well, that's just bad school spirit!(Justin groans)
 * Justin: (referring to the bank vault's lock) It's an expression. "Crack open"? As in, we need to find the combo [combination]?


 * Heather: (referring to Chris and the bank vault lock combination) His birthday! (Heather puts in Chris's birthday as the lock combination, to no avail; Harold badly imitates a game show buzzer) Okay, then. His measurements! (Heather puts in the code, to no avail again; Harold imitates a buzzer again, but Heather knocks him down) The bar code number on his favorite hair gel? (Harold imitates a buzzer again) Stop....doing that!

Chris: Justin? Justin: Huh? Chris: You're making me kinda uncomfortable.
 * Justin: You know, Chris, I was thinking. Super hot guys like you and me have to stick together. So why don't you tell me what the combo is, and then we can talk about guy stuff? I'll give you a shoulder rub. Huh? Huh?


 * Owen: (inside bank vault) There's chicken out there! People shouldn't make me hungry! You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!


 * Beth: Let's go rob a bank before Owen tries to eat us! Wow, there's something I never thought I'd say!

Courtney: Anything else I can do for you today, (Pulls off wig) Duncan? (Duncan squeaks and then faints)
 * Duncan: (At teller's desk) Afternoon, ma'am. That's a great set of legs you got there, but now I'd like to focus on those lovely hands of yours. I need them to start filling this pillowcase with cash.

Heather: She got voted out fair and square! Courtney: Sorry, Heather, but myself and the law firm of Fleckman, Fleckman, Cohen and Grouse would beg to differ. We filed a wrongful dismissal lawsuit against the producers and won. Harold: Great news, eh, Duncan? (Duncan shoves Harold in the face and to the floor) Chris: So, Courtney, since you were our bank teller in the challenge, great job by the way, you get to decide which team deserves to win first prize, your bag of loot. Courtney: The choice is obvious, it's Duncan! I mean (strained) The Gaffers, since they were the only team that managed to get to my wicket. (Duncan walks up to get the bag) Congratulations. Duncan: (very confused and strained look and cracking voice) Thank you? Heather: I've seen manlier men trying on women's shoes. Chris: (waves hand over Grips) So that means, The Killer Grips win second prize! Justin: What's second prize? Chris: (waves hand over Courtney) Courtney! For the rest of the game, or until she's eliminated! Courtney: (in confessional) Those Total Drama dirtbags have some nerve making me second place. They will definitely be hearing from my lawyer (pulls out cell phone) again!
 * Chris: (straining to read a document from Courtney's lawyers) Teams, it is my (soft voice) honor (loud voice) to report that Courtney is back for the duration of the game. (Courtney waves to the Gaffers as Duncan looks scared) And, we're all (soft voice) exceedingly happy (loud voice) about it!

Courtney: At this point, I take it!
 * Duncan: Hey Courtney! Maybe you'll get to see more than just the back of me when the teams merge.

Harold: (in confessional; referring to the bra he was wearing) Okay, that was humiliating. The extra support was nice. (The Gaffers scream as they are about to crash into a truck, an unfinished road, police cars, and space, though they all turned out to be rolling paper backgrounds; they then crash into an old man, that happened to be made of a dense product) Courtney: (slaving The Grips) Faster, you deadbeats! The teams aren't called The Gaffers and The Slackers! Now, move! Mush, mush! Beth: "Mush"? We're not sled dogs! Courtney: Of course, you aren't! Cause, if you were, (points to Owen) this one would've eaten you!! Chris: (at the Finish Line) It looks like The Gaffers are about to make a clean getaway and win the challenge! (The Gaffers' Car sputters) Heather: What's happening!? Duncan: I think we're outta gas! Chris: I may have spoken too soon, ladies and gentleman. Talk about a holdup! Harold: They're gaining on us! (Duncan tries to start the car, but to no avail numerous times as Courtney and the Grips gain on them and eventually pass them) Courtney: I knew I could win this! Even with a team of complete duds! (The Gaffers begin pushing their cart to try catching up to The Grips) Harold: This is hard!
 * (Heather, Harold, & Duncan are cruising down the hill; they all scream as they run their car into a rack of clothes [giving them embarrassing outfits])

Chris: (waves the checkered flag) Wanna bet!?
 * Courtney: (inches away from the Finish Line) Faster, faster! (The Grips Go-Kart begin to fall apart and crash centimeters away from the Line) AAH!! (The Gaffers cross the Finish Line) I will not be second place!!!

Chris: The time has come! (The Gilded Chris ceremony theme plays) LeShawna: (STILL in the bank vault) Tell me that is not the Gilded Chris Theme! This isn't funny anymore, y'all! This is downright cruel!! Chris: Like always, Killer Grips, one member of your team will not be receiving a coveted Gilded Chris, made of the finest Belgian chocolate. (Owen's stomach grumbles) But not like always, and this is important to remember: This week, according to our lawyers, none of you are allowed to vote off Courtney. You got that, dudes!? The show can't afford any more lawsuits! (whispers) My massage budget has been sliced in half! (Chef gives the vote to Chris) And the Gilded Chris Awards go to Beth, Lindsay, Justin (looks at vote sheet) Why do I have four votes to boot out Courtney when I specifically said you couldn't! Justin: I guess we couldn't help ourselves. Lindsay: No matter what, my finger would only press the "Courtney" button. Chris: (referring to Courtney) Well, that leaves us with one vote to count! Courtney: (with a smug look on her face) Owen. You've been eliminated. (Owen walks up to Chris) Justin: This is bull! Lindsay: You can't do that! Chris: Sorry, bud, no Chocolate Chris Award for you. Owen: Not even an ear? Justin, Beth, & Lindsay: Speech, speech, speech, speech! Courtney: He lost the game for us, guys. Hello? Chris: Anything in your contract that'll stop him from speaking? Courtney: Um, no...but -- Chris: Then...a little light for my friend here. (a spotlight shines on the newly dressed Owen in a tuxedo) Owen: (laughs) Oh, wow. I'd like to thank the academy -- Chris: The Academy of The Gilded Chris, trademarked, patented, and all mine. Owen: (beginning the first-ever Total Drama Farewell Speech) This has been the role of a lifetime. Thanks to Justin, (shows Justin as a hot dog in Owen's eyes) who inspired me everyday with his physical perfection and "hot dogginess". To Lindsay, (shows Lindsay as a bottle of soda) who is also beautiful, in a "soda-poppy" kind of way. To Beth, (shows Beth as a chicken leg) who motivated me with her delicious crispy skin, (Beth frowns) and her tender, juicy goodness. To Chris, (shows Chris as a slice of pizza) who also smells -- (The Gilded Chris theme begins to play, as to cut Owen's speech short) What? No, no, you can't play me off yet! To my mom, who let me quit piano lessons! To my brothers, I'm sorry for scamming you out of your Halloween Candy. Lindsay: (in background) We love you, Owen!! (Lindsay, Justin, and Beth throw their Chocolate Chris's at Owen) Justin: This Chris is for you. Owen: (begins to mumble because of the Chris that landed in his mouth, and awakens from the flashback in regular clothes, on the ground) I love this game! Chris: And that wraps up another totally dramatic episode, without absolutely no loose-ends to tie up. Isn't that right, Chef? (Chef begins to think and remembers LeShawna in the vault) LeShawna: (talking about letting her out) Guys!? Yoo-hoo!? What do you say? Chef: (back at the Ceremony) Nope. Chris: Nah, didn't think so. (they walk off)
