Mini Mole: Season 3: Episode 1 - Loud Whispers


Episode 1: Loud Whispers

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

???: Ten contestants are about to begin the adventure of a lifetime! A game like no other! ... Except of course, "The Mole", but we've got the rights to this show, so...

???: Ten contestants are working together in various challenges to earn money for a group kitty, but their efforts will be foiled at every turn by a member of their own. A saboteur. A traitor! ... The Mole.

???: The Mole will be one of the 10, hidden in their midst, but they will remain in the shadows undetected until only three contestants remain.

???: At that point, there will be only one winner! And that person will be the person who unmasks...

???: The Mole!

Taiha: Welcome to Mini Mole, Season Three!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Taiha: Ladies and Gentlemen! Can you hear me?!

Taiha: The game has officially begun. From now on, I would watch your backs, kittens. The Mole is out there!

Taiha: Now is the time to play. Your first challenge begins... Right meow!!!

???: Oh! Finally, I can see where we are!

???: I guess this means the game is on. Game on, Moles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: I am Madelon DeBlanche, I'm 34 years old, from Windenburg and I'm also a... Caterer. Besides work, I enjoy experimenting with my cooking, jogging, fitness and well-being. I believe people should be free to follow their passion, and after seeing the last few seasons of The Mole I decided to sign up for Mini Mole, so here I am, ready to shine.

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Madelon?
Madelon: I would make an excellent mole. I'm versatile and I can fit in wherever is best for The Mole to strike. I've got a lot of talents that most people don't know until I've brought them out. Trust me. I would be the best Mole.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Madelon?
Madelon: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Madelon: Alright... "Hello Madelon. Before you are 10 questions about you and your fellow contestants. Answer these questions, they are worth $500 each, if correct. Get all 10 correct and the prize will be doubled from $5,000 to $10,000. Good luck".

Madelon: Okay, but I don't know who any of these names are? Nor do I have any place to put the answers. Do I just guess? There must be more to this than meets the eye, there always is. I'll try and find one of these names first.

Madelon: There must be other contestants around. It can't just be me. Hello?! Can anyone hear me?!

???: Hello! Yes, barely! It's a bit of a distance, but I can see you in the light!
Madelon: Hello! I can hardly see you in the darkness. Is there a light over there?

Madelon: Oh, that's much better. Now I can see who I'm talking to. Are you Hayden?

???: I'm not! Sorry to disappoint you! Am I supposed to be Hayden?
Madelon: I have no idea! I have some questions that need answering, and so I'm looking for someone named Hayden.
???: I think we've got plenty of questions that need answering! Haha!

Angelica: My name is Angelica! What's your name, beautiful?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica: Hi, I am Angelica Rivers and come from Azcapotzalco, Mexico City. I am a singer and love to put my feelings into words. Yep, I’m also a poet.

???: Do you believe you would make a good mole, Angelica?
Angelica: I've never been one to lie, but I think I would be great at gaining trust. I've always been a listener, and someone people confide in. People trust in me. That's handy for a mole.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Angelica?
Angelica: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: Nice to meet you, Angelica! My name is Madelon! I've got a question here about you too, but I think we should find everyone first before we start putting information out there.
Angelica: Good call! If it helps, I think I can see someone moving on the other side of you, over there! 

Angelica: I'll see if I can see anyone else from up here. Now, is a bad time to be afraid of heights.

Madelon: Hello?! Can you hear me over there? Who are you?

???: Who am I?! Pfft. Who are you?!

???: This is a game about information! Do you think I'd give up my details that easily to someone I know nothing about?

Madelon: Uhhhhhh... Yes?
???: Of course I would. I'm just joking! 
Madelon: Oh.
Carlos: My name is Carlos, and I've heard half of your conversation over there already. Your name is Madelon. Beautiful name for a beautiful lady.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos: The name is Carlos Escalante, you'll remember this name for as long as you live. I'm here for the challenge and the money. I'm going to win this, just you watch.
???: And your job, Carlos?
Carlos: Fitness Instructor.

???: Do you believe you would make a good mole, Carlos?
Carlos: The best mole. Not just a good one, the best one. I've got all the strengths. Fitness. Charisma. Brains. Cunning. You couldn't outwit a mole like me.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Carlos?
Carlos: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Carlos: You're looking for someone named Hayden?
Madelon: They're the first one my list of questions, so I thought we'd go with finding him first.
Carlos: And what do we do with these questions once answered?

Madelon: That's something I haven't worked out yet. I don't have any way to write them down, or submit them to Taiha. Maybe I just have the questions and someone else needs the answers.

Angelica: Hey, Madelon! I can kind of see someone down the at the base of your tower. Right at the bottom. Another contestant?
Madelon: Can your voice reach that far to talk to them?
Angelica: My voice is good at travelling, but there aren't any acoustics in here. I don't think I can.

???: It's so dark down here. I wish I could make out what I'm looking at here. The moonlight isn't helping.

???: Oh! That was weirdly specific timing for a light to come on. Game on?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon: My name is Sharon George, I'm 25 years of age, I'm currently based in Willow Creek but was born in Strangeville. I'm your Big Tomboy-ish sister… or Little depending on how old you are (laughs). If that surname rings any bells, I'm actually the little sister of Dustin George who competed on SIMVIVOR and is part of the Cast of Behind The Target. I even made two appearances in it myself. In my private life, I work as a Police Woman, I've been doing that for 4 years now and I just love the thrill it brings and how I can use my power to bring justice to those who need it. 

Sharon: I didn't have the best childhood myself and always wanted to make sure that me and my brothers were safe, so that desire was practically what I was born with. So be warned, if I feel like you mistreat somebody, you will see Savage Sharon entering the ring. But don't worry, I'm a good cop and I have a good sense of humour (laughs). I definitely vibe better with boys than with girls, which doesn't mean I don't like being a woman or don't get along with other girls, it is just that I prefer stuff that is normally associated with men. 

Sharon: Being on the Mini Mole is very exciting for me, I've been watching the original Mole since I can think and loved the challenges. So being here right now is insane, seriously. I hope I can make new friends in here and really prove myself with my strengths I developed as a Police Woman and make it to the end. But don't worry, if I can promise you anything, I will make every second you watch me make worthwhile. 

Sharon: Does that answer your questions?
???: Except for one. Would you like to be The Mole, Sharon?
Sharon: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sharon: A book? "Answers: For those who like to get to the bottom of things". I wonder what this means in terms of the challenge.

Sharon: "Hello Sharon. In this book are 10 contestant's names. Each contestant has a number assigned to them based on the answers to 10 questions. Get each number correct to earn $500 per name. Get all 10 correct, and you will double the reward from $5,000 to $10,000. Good luck."
Sharon: Okay, but where are the questions?! I can't just guess numbers and hope for the best. There has to be more.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Angelica: I can see another contestant in the tower to my left, Madelon. That makes 5 of us now, right? Get Carlos to go check the towers over his side for more!
Madelon: Got it! Let me know who is who and we'll start answering these questions.
Angelica: Hello down there! Nice to meet you!

???: Yo, who's talking to me, dude?
Angelica: Over here! Look for me in the light!
???: Dude, all I see is darkness bro.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence: Yo, it's ya boy Lawrence here! I'm super ecstatic to be on Mini Mole right now. I've been watching since I was in middle school. So anyway, I finished college sometime ago, and I've just been travelling around from place to place since then. Gotta soak up all that culture, yo! Since I was just around, I figured I'd sign up to be on one of my favourite shows and I got in!!! I can't wait to unmask that elusive Mole. And maybe get turnt while doing it.

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Lawrence?
Lawrence: Chyeah, bro. I might seem all party and stuff, but I'm actually super well-read. Got a mix of street smarts and book smarts, ya know what I'm saying? I did a double major in philosophy and literature. Got the brain of a mole, bro. Plus got that winning personality. I'd be the best mole, dude.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Lawrence?
Lawrence: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

???: I don't even see another light except for down below me, and she seems to be reading a book, bro. Where are you? 
Angelica: Try above you!

Lawrence: Oh, bro! I totally didn't see you up there!
Angelica: Hi! My name is Angelica! Are you Hayden?
Lawrence: My name's Lawrence! Nice to meet you, Angelica. Can't say I know a Hayden though.
Angelica: Try looking around you for other contestants!
Lawrence: Chyeah dude, sure thing!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: Carlos! Can you see anyone over below you?
Carlos: I see a gal, but she's not seen me. 
Madelon: Angelica just found a guy named Lawrence over her side. Maybe it makes a chain all the way to the lady at the bottom?

Carlos: Yo! Lady in the red shirt! I'm talkinh to you! Beautiful lady. Sexy cowboy hat. Silky brown hair! You know I'm talking about you, doll.

???: Someone is describing me... Or hitting on me... but I can't for the life of me see them! Hello?! Who's there?!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tina: Hello, bonjour, konichiwa, et cetera! I'm Tina, your local Regina George - if Regina was a LOT nicer, I hope - maybe I'm more Gretchen then? Who knows. Buuuuuuut anyway, I'm a wealth manager on my on days, and a people manager on my off days, haha! I didn't come here to win, I came to make friends. And drinks. Might help loosen up a few tongues, eh? Me, I only drink in moderation. No matter how many times my bosses try to offer me refills. Gotta stay sharp, after all - and my social wheels are already plenty greased."

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Tina?
Tina: I'm a people person, first of all. I don't know if I could do lying to people or risk losing my friends! It's what I live for. Though, this is a social game, and I certainly have unmatched social skills. I'm sure the mole could use that, definitely.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Tina?
Tina: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos: Up here! My name is Carlos, and you?
Tina: No silly! My name isn't Carlos too! Haha.
Carlos: Very funny. You're not Hayden, are you?
Tina: My name's Tina! Awesome to meet you. Should I be looking for a Hayden?
Carlos: Please! Try down below you!

Tina: Okiedokie! Hello down there! Are you Hayden?!
???: Whaaa? Who said that?

???: Oh, neat! Some light... Brighter than my future in this cage, that's for sure. Why am I in a cage anyway? Am I kidnapped or am I on Mini Mole?

???: You can't cage a free bird like me! Captors or producers or whoever! You'll never cage my spirit! Uh, though, my body I guess you can or uh, have.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Everett: The name’s Everett Cameron, I’m, uh, only 23, and I’m excited to be here. I’ve done a lot of different stuff leading up to this, but, uh, I’ve never been on tv, I’ve never caught a mole, an imposter, I mean, because I did have to leap at a real mole once when I was helping someone make their garden look nicer, plus whack-a-mole…getting off-track, my bad. I’m Everett, we covered the important stuff, let’s have fun!

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Everett?
Everett: Well, I'm certainly, uh, well-travelled for my youth. I like, uh, I really know a lot of stuff and I've got some wits about me! The Mole would be someone who blends in with the group, and uses their strategy to seriously undermine the efforts. I think that I've, uh, got the skills to pay the bills. I could be an excellent mole.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Everett?
Everett: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tina: Up here! We're forming a little chain of people. Isn't it cool!
Everett: Oh, hi there! I didn't even notice you up there. I was distracted by the cage. My bad!
Tina: Are you Hayden? Apparently we're looking for a Hayden.
Everett: Nope! Everett!

Everett: There's, uh, a man over in the distance who might be a Hayden. Have you tried contacting him?
Tina: Over there? He's too far for me to reach, and I don't think Carlos above me can speak that far. I'll ask him to try anyway!

???: How long do we have to stand in these cages for? There's gotta be something I can do beside watching these people in their light from a distance and in darkness.

???: Well, I guess I don't have to watch in darkness, but I'm still so far from everyone else.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glen: The name's Glen, Glen Harrison, I'm a dad of 3, I'm married to my beautiful wife Helen and I'm a kids Soccer Coach for the local under 12's team. It's not something I do professionally, just something I do in my spare time. I enjoy a wide variety of sports, not just soccer but baseball, hockey, football, watching TV, you know Superbowl and such and, well, drinking an ice-cold beer on the weekends... Jesus, this is starting to sound like a dating profile! Haha! What I'm saying is, I'm just your typical guy, I like to work out, I'm quite fit despite my age, I may be going grey but I'm not a senior yet! I hope to get to know everyone one to one and I look forward to catching that pesky Mole!

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Glen?
Glen: I'm undoubtedly going to be cast as the "old guy" role, right? Has there ever been a mole my age? I'm sure even if there was, they wouldn't be as convincing a liar, as I was when I told you I was a Soccer Coach, would they? I'm a team player, and as a mole, I'd be beloved by the group for my efforts. It'd be perfect for undermining everyone. You name me Mole, consider it done.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Glen?
Glen: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glen: That lady in the centre still hasn't got a clue I'm over here. She hasn't even turned around once!
...
Glen: Oi! Lady in the centre cell! Look behind you for the old fart! My cage is lit up!

Sharon: Oh! Hi there. I didn't even notice there was someone else on my level! What's your name?! My name's Sharon, I'm a police officer.

Glen: Name's Glen! I'm a... Soccer Coach for the local Under 12s.
Sharon: Nice to meet you Glen! We'll have to catch up once we're out of these cages. Right now I'm looking for answers for us to win $10,000.

Glen: Wish I had answers for you, sweetheart. I don't have a clue what's going on right now. Maybe try the girl on the opposite side of me. She might have some idea what's going on!

???: *whistles a tune*

???: Come on, it's night time. It's time to party, not time to stand around. What's wrong with these people?

Sharon: Hello over there! Can you hear me? My name is Sharon, and you are?

???: Oooh! Lights! Now bring me the neon, babes and we'll turn this into a real party! Ha!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicky: Name's Nicky St. Clair. I'm 24. Been a DJ for about 4 years now and loving it. But would love to win this show and take home the biggest cash tip! I'd say I'm a bit of a night owl thanks to my work. So expect me up and about around the night. I can't wait to meet everyone. Who knows who I'll be getting along with.

???: Would you say you would make a good mole, Nicky?
Nicky: I guess we'll find out, won't we!
???: This is not how this interview works, Nicky.
Nicky: I would make a good mole, yes. I'm known for my ability to make people party, and I'm not just talking about my music.

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Nicky?
Nicky: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicky: Sharon, I'm Nicky. Nicky St. Clair. 
Sharon: Nice to meet you Nicky! Do you happen to know anything about some answers?
Nicky: Not idea. I've just been standing here waiting for instructions, or music to start or SOMETHING.

Sharon: All I know is that I have to get 10 answers to questions from each contestant but Glen behind me didn't even seem to know that. I'm not sure what we're supposed to do.
Nicky: Maybe, we have to make up our own questions? Ask Glen what his favourite colour is.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos: Madelon, on this side we've got myself, Tina, then Everett. Everett says there is a lady in blue down below him. We've formed a chain of people going down the circle of towers.

Madelon: And still no sign of a Hayden?! Someone here must have answer to the first question. Send a message down to the girl in blue and ask her if she knows anyone named Hayden.
Carlos: Sending it down now. Tina! Madelon says...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

???: Man, what the heck? I see nine other lights and here I am, a brother in darkness, confined to a bloody jail cell again, man.

???: Cruel as f***, producers. Cruel as f***. Y'all are a bunch of psychos.

Lawrence: Bro! I found you, man! Why didn't you say something sooner, bro? I would have seen you!
???: Man, I've been struggling with some bad PTSD over jail cells man. Cut me some slack, dude.

Lawrence: Sorry, bro! Didn't mean anything by it. Are you Hayden?
???: Yeah! I am! How did you know my name? Who are you?
Lawrence: Broooo, everyone's been looking for you! I'm Lawrence. Nice to meet ya!
Hayden: Nice to meet you too!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hayden: Hayden Clay. I'm a cool dude from the city and work as a freelance graphic designer and program phone apps for fun. I'm loyal to a fault but if you mess with me you're going to get the bull cause I put up with nothing against me or mine. I've grown up playing video games, so you better bet that I'm in this game to win it. Watch out mole, I'm here.

???: Do you believe you'd make a good mole, Hayden?
Hayden: I'm competitive and I'll do anything to win. I'd be the kind of mole who would stop at nothing to get my way. I've got the brain of a gamer and the body of an athlete. As a mole, I'm a dangerous combination, know what I'm saying?

???: Would you like to be The Mole, Hayden?
Hayden: ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence: I gotta let Angelica behind me know that I found you! Talk in a second, dude.
Hayden: No problem. What's this challenge anyway?

Lawrence: I'm not sure yet, but it's looking to be a big game of Chinese Whispers, bro! I just don't know what we're meant to be whispering.
Hayden: Judging by these cages, we're not going to be doing any whispering, dude.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taiha: Well, I think that was a very smooth introduction into the cast, don't you think? Those secret interviews sure came in handy too! And who knew putting contestants in bird cages would be so much fun for a kitten to watch?!

Taiha: I'm gonna grab a drink and sit and watch them work this all out. They seem to finally get the concept, without me saying a word!

Taiha: But phew! Hosting is tough work! I forgot how hard it was to be on camera.

Camera Guy: Uhhh. Miss Anderson?

Camera Guy: Miss Anderson? You're in the perfect shot I had of Sharon.
Taiha: Oh. Oops! Sowwy! I guess I should walk AROUND the camera next time! Sometimes I forget I'm not the one on camera, you know?

???: Miss Anderson, please be more careful around the cameras. We're on a strict budget this year  and we can't afford to reshoot footage because of accidents like this.
Taiha: I just got back from shooting The Mole and I was used to being ON the camera, not behind it. Trust me, I know what I'm doing, kitten!

???: Trust me, I know what I'M doing too. This isn't my first time producing a show either. This year, we're aiming to get Mini Mole a big name reputation. We're boosting this show to a whole other level! That's why my production company got involved, to bring this show to new heights!

Taiha: I know, kitten. I'm blessed you came by and saved production. I didn't have the winnings I thought I would get to budget this season. Either way, this is still MY show. We're gonna have fun with it! No need to keep things so serious, kitten.

Julia: My production company doesn't do things in halves. Not anymore. Mini Mole is a serious game of deception and intrigue, it's going to be serious business, even if you don't want it to be.
Taiha: Pffft. When you've played in The Mole, let me know how serious it has to be, Jules. Trust me, ain't nothing needs to be serious about this game.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica: Madelon, we've found Hayden! He's down over here below Lawrence. We've got a chain of people now and it seems we can pass information along the chain.
Madelon: Wicked! Send down a question to Hayden then and then get the answer to come back up to me.

Angelica: Alright. What's the question?
Madelon: Oh, right! Uhh... What is Hayden's current job- er... Occupation?
Angelica: Okay, I'll send it down!

Madelon: Carlos! What is Everett's favourite holiday?
Carlos: How am I supposed to know that? I've never met the man, Madelon.
Madelon: Send the question down to him. Get him to send the answer back up here.
Carlos: Why back up? According to the chain, it needs to go down to a lady named Sharon at the bottom.

Carlos: Tina. Send this question down to Everett. "What is his favourite holiday?"
Tina: Did you say favourite holiday or favourite hobby?
Carlos: Holiday!
Tina: Alright, gotcha!

Tina: Everett! Question for you! What's your favourite holiday?!
Everett: Oooh. A question for me! How thoughtful.

Everett: I'll go with uh, ooh, definitely Easter. I like the concept of it all, you know, the renewal and rebirth sort of vibe it has. I mean the chocolates are nice and all, but the concept behind Easter is much nicer.

Tina: That's really sweet!... And so is the chocolate! Hehe. Send your answer down to Nicky and she'll send it to Sharon!

Everett: Did you hear my answer, Nicky?
Nicky: When you got trained ears like mine you can hear anything, you know!
...
Nicky: Can you repeat it though, cause I didn't hear it at all.
Everett: Tell Sharon that my answer is Easter!

Nicky: Sharon! Everett says that his answer is Easter!
Sharon: Any idea what the question was?
Nicky: No clue, but Easter is what we've got.

Sharon: What I wouldn't give for a radio or a walkie-talkie... Also, Easter? I thought these answers were meant to be numbers. I'm smelling a mole.

Sharon: See! Numbers. We need 10 numbers, one for each contestant. As far as I'm aware, Easter isn't a number, Everett.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence: Bro! Angelica sent me a question for you.
Hayden: For me? What's the question?
Lawrence: What's your job, bro?

Hayden: Does this have to do with the challenge or the game or what?
Lawrence: Apparently it's for Madison or Madelon or whatever, up top. It's for the challenge.
Hayden: Well, tell Madison that my job is uhh...

Hayden: Tell her that I'm a programmer... No that I'm a... Freelancer. It's the more official title anyway.
Lawrence: Are you sure? You're not ballsing it up, are you?
Hayden: Just wasn't sure what wording was best for it. Freelancer.

Lawrence: Angelica! Hayden's a freelancer, okay?
Angelica: Freelancer! Sure! I'll send that over to Madelon.

Angelica: Madelon! I've got Hayden's job for you! 
Madelon: And? What's the answer?
Angelica: Freelancer? I'm not sure exactly what he majors in freelancing for though. Maybe writing?

Madelon: He might've said writer or author then. That's really strange.
Angelica: Maybe he just does a bit of everything. We'll have to find out later!
Madelon: Interesting... Send it down to the lady at the bottom.

Angelica: Send it back down? Why? 
Madelon: Just trust me.
Angelica: Allllrighty... Sure. I'll send it down... Lawrence!

Madelon: Carlos, I've got a question for you, next. How many times have you been married?
Carlos: Excuse me?
Madelon: How many times have you been married? You know, with a wedding and whatnot.

Carlos: I don't have to answer that.

Madelon: If you don't answer that, it's $500 down the drain.
Carlos: We'll make it back some other time, I'm sure.
Madelon: Well if we don't get all 10 correct we'll lose out on doubling the money by an extra $5,000. That'll be on your head, my friend.
Carlos: Fine. 

Carlos: Tina, send the answer Three down to Sharon.
Tina: Free? And for who... Or whom? Is it who or whom? Hmm...
Carlos: For me... I've been married Three times, okay. Never mention this again.

Tina: Dude, were they at least for love or...? You know what, I'm not gonna judge you or anyone I've just met. Don't worry, I won't say what the question is, just the answer!

Tina: Everett! Carlos' answer is Three! 
Everett: Gotcha! Passing it down.

Nicky: Sharon! I've got word from Everett that Carlos' answer is apparently Three. Like, as in the number Three.

Sharon: See! That makes more sense. That's a number and we need number answers. Three makes sense compared to Everett's "Easter".
Nicky: I don't know what to tell ya, sister!

Sharon: Send a message along back to Everett to reconsider his answer? Double check with him that it's Easter and then I'll get back to you, okay?
Nicky: Can do!

Nicky: Yo Everett!... Psst!... HEY!!! Everett, hello?! HELLO!!!

Everett: Oh, sorry! I- uh... Didn't hear you.
Nicky: Right... Well, I wanted to confirm that your answer was Easter and not uhh... A number.
Everett: Yeah, it can't be anything else. Why?
Nicky: Weird.

Sharon: Glen!
Glen: Oh,so NOW someone wants to include me in the mission. What am I chopped liver?!
Sharon: Sorry! Just trying to piece this all together.
Glen: I'm here to help. What do you need?
Sharon: Tell your side that I only need Hayden's answer right now. Send it up!

Glen: As a matter of fact, I just got wind of Hayden's answer.
Sharon: What is it?
Glen: His answer is that he's a Freelancer.

Sharon: That doesn't make any sense! Do these people not understand that I need NUMBERS. There has to be something else or someone mole-ing or something!
Glen: Have you tried converting the answers INTO numbers? Like a code or a cipher or something. People use them all the time.
Sharon: What do the kids in your under 12s right secret messages to each other?

Glen: Yeah, you'd be surprised what kind of notes are out there... Anyway, try converting them into something. You're a smart girl, I know you can do it! 
Sharon: Alright, I'll see what I can come up with! Thanks Coach!
Glen: No problem.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica: Madelon, we need another question or we're not gonna get very far.
Madelon: Alright, send down your answer. Which issssss... "When did you win your first singing comeptition?". Oh and also ask Lawrence who his favourite celebrity is!

Angelica: For my question: When or where? Like as in how old or what competition was it.
Madelon: How old were you. What age were you when you first won.
Angelica: I was sixteen when I won my first competition. Was one of my proudest moments. It's been wonders since then.
Madelon: Amazing! You MUST sing for us when we're all together.
Angelica: Deal!

Angelica: Lawry! I've got a question for you and an answer for me.
Lawrence: Totally! Shoot! What's what, my dude!

Angelica: Okay, first, my answer is Sixteen. As in the number sixteen. One Six.
Lawrence: Chyeah, babe. Got it. One six.
Angelica: And my question for you is "Who is your favourite singer celebrity?"

Lawrence: Woah, both our questions are about singers! That's lit... My answer is Queen Bey! Beyoncé is my girl, bro. Is that weird? Whatever.

Angelica: Not at all! She's a queen for sure. I absolutely admire her in just about every way. I was a huge fan of Destiny's Child too.
Lawrence: You and I gotta play some bangers soon! We're gonna party all night!

Lawrence: Did that come out wrong? I feel like that come across totally wrong. Whatever. I'll send down our answers.

Lawrence: Hayden! We've got some answers you gotta send down to Coach!
Hayden: Alright, hit me up. What's the answer.
Lawrence: Send down that my favourite singer is Queen Bey!

Hayden: Like, Beyoncé, Queen Bey? Or like?
Lawrence: Chyeah bro! I like me some Single Ladies, okay? Send it down dude.
Hayden: Whatever, sure. I'll send it down.
Lawrence: Oh! And send down that Angelica is Seventeen!
Hayden: Got it!

Hayden: Glen! I've got some answers for you to give Sharon. Lawrence is Beyoncé and Angelica is Seventeen.
Glen: Right... What a weird group we'd have if Lawrence actually was Beyoncé and we were playing with a seventeen year old.

Glen: Officer Sharon! We've got a code uhh... Answers. I've got answers for you.
Sharon: Sure! What have you got?
Glen: Lawrence is Beyoncé and Angelica is Seventeen.
Sharon: Alright! I've got them down. Thank you, Coach.

Sharon: Alright, I think I've come up with an idea on how to use these answers. I'll need your answer next, Glen. So send that as a message up the chain.
Glen: Roger.

Sharon: Nicky!
Nicky: Yeah, girl!
Sharon: I need you to send a message up your chain that I need your answer next.
Nicky: Oooh! A question about me, wicked. I'll get on that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Angelica: Madelon! I've got a message for you. I need Glen's question!
Carlos: Madelon! I've also got a message for you. I need Nicky's question!
Madelon: I just sent down questions on both sides. You guys are quick!

Madelon: Angelica, ask Glen "What his Twin brother's name is".
Angelica: He has a twin?! Cute! My brother and sister are twins!

Madelon: Carlos, I would like to you ask Nicky, and I hate to bring this up... "What's the most relationships she's been in, in one month?"
Carlos: Hmmph. Wow.

Madelon: Excuse me? Wow what?
Carlos: I just think depending on how high that number is, it would reflect poorly on her, don't you think?
Madelon: No. No I don't think that, Carlos. Who are you to judge how a woman lives her life? You of all people.

Carlos: You don't even know me! You don't know who I am or what I'm about. A month isn't a long period of time, Madelon.
Madelon: You're right, I don't know you. But I know that you've been married three times already, and you're ashamed of it.
Carlos: I'm one to get judged for that fact. It's different from having god knows how many partners in a MONTH.

Carlos: Tina, send a question down to Nicky asking her max number of relationships in a month, and then bring the answer back up to me so I can prove a point.

Tina: Uhhhhh... Sure? Not sure what kind of point you're trying to prove with that but I don't know if Nicky would appreciate any points made with that information. I gotta say no can do.

Tina: Everett! Ask Nicky how many dates she's been on within a month. Then get her to send the answer to Sharon... and ONLY Sharon.
Everett: Can do!

Tina: Wait, it was just one month, right? That information can't be THAT bad if it's only for a month. Maybe if it were like a lot of dates within a year, it might be something to keep to yourself. Maybe she might be unlucky in love and can't find the right guy... Or girl? Why is Carlos so worked up about that?

Everett: Nicky! It's question time. Alright, so, uh... I don't know how to word it exactly but, uh, how many dates have you been on in one month? Like, the most you've been on.
Nicky: Seriously?

Nicky: Like, seriously? You get a question about your favourite holiday and I get a question about how many people I've been on dates with?! That's totally unfair!

Everett: I didn't make the question, sorry, Nicky. If it helps you don't even have to tell me the answer! In fact, you don't have to answer it at all if you don't want! You should though because we gotta build up the kitty and its worth $500 apparently.

Nicky: *sighs* Sharon, my answer is... sixteen.
Sharon: Alright, thanks Nicky! Send up for Tina's question next if you can!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Glen: Hey, Sharon. I've got the answer to my question if you're ready!
Sharon: Sure thing! What's the answer?
Glen: They were asking about my twin brother. His name is Floyd, F-L-O-Y-D. That's five letters. 

Sharon: So we had the same idea then for the code. Converting the number of letters into digits.
Glen: Clever girl! Great minds must think alike then, eh?
Sharon: Let me just write down Floyd's name for you.

Sharon: My only other concern is the number answers. We've gotten Three, Sixteen and Seventeen as a answers. Do I take Three as 3, or do I take it as 5 because it's five letters?
Glen: I'd say go with it being five letters. It fits with the rest of the codes that way, right?
Sharon: Right.

Glen: Don't forget there is a mole in this game, and this is a game of Telephone. Is there any answers so far that stick out as being wrong? Any that are more than nine letters?

Sharon: So far, no. Everyone's answers seem to fit the number rule, but I have to have faith that they're all correct. I'm putting a lot of trust in the chains.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Madelon: Alright, time might be running low and we've got three questions left. Sharon, Tina and myself. Best get these running before its too much.

Madelon: Alright, Angelica. I'd like you to send through your chain that Sharon's question is "What is the surname of her sporting idol?" She'll get it at the end and the answer will be perfect as long as the question is!

Angelica: Got it. What is the surname of her sporting idol! I'll send it down.

Madelon: Carlos. I would like you to ask Tina what company she works for! We only need the first name. Think you can do that, sweetheart?

Carlos: Sure,  Madelon. But never sweetheart me, sweetheart.

Madelon: Oh. And send down the answer to MY question. I once threw a MOJITO in the face of a guy that verbally tried to assault me. He didn't like that very much. I'm sure most mean don't like my tough side.

Carlos: Did you just threaten to throw a drink in my face?
Madelon: I just told you my answer... Sweetheart.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lawrence: Bro, pass down a question for Sharon! What's the name of her sporting idol!
Hayden: Sporting idol, got it!

Hayden: My sporting idol is 100% Muhammad Ali. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. I admired that man's drive!
Lawrence: Chyeah bro! Totally!

Hayden: Yo Glen! I've got a question for you to send down to Sharon.
Glen: A question for me or a question for Sharon?
Hayden: A question for Sharon to answer.

Hayden: Who is her sporting idol?
Glen: Got it! I'll pass it along now!
Hayden: Sure thing. Who's your sporting idol, coach? You of all people gotta have one, for sure!
Glen: Uhh... How about Cristiano Ronaldo?

Hayden: Ronaldo? You don't sound so sure about that. Thought a soccer coach might have more names and commitment than that.

Glen: I happen to idolise a lot of other great soccer players, trust me. I just think idolisation has to be earned more than just prowess in your field. You know what they say, never meet your idols.
Hayden: Yeah, I get that. I didn't mean anything by it.

Sharon: Alright, so my answer is definitely Hannes Valquist, which means my answer is eight, but only if we go with surname over first name. This is ambiguous but I love it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Carlos: Tina! What is the first name of the place you work for?
Tina: Oooh! I'm in wealth management, but I guess that wasn't question. I work for a place called Mackay Investment, so I'm assuming that Mackay is the answer?
Carlos: Sure. Also send down that Mojito's are scary but also Madelon's answer.

Tina: Hehe! I love my job. I love all the talks around the water coolers, and the office parties and networking... Wait, none of that is part of wealth management. Oh well! I still love it!

Tina: Everett! Send down my answer of Mackay to Sharon! Also that Madelon's answer is Mojito for some reason... Also that Carlos is afraid of them.
Everett: He's afraid of a little mojito? He's either a lightweight or a silly sausage. Either way message is going through!

Everett: Nicky! Carlos is afraid of Mojitos!
Nicky: What does that have to do with the game?
Everett: Oh. I guess it doesn't. Give me one second to check with Tina again!

Nicky: I would kill for a mojito right now, or anything to get this party started. These cages are nothing without some dancers, you know!
Everett: I checked with Tina. Madelon's answer is Mojito, and also Tina's answer is Mackay!
Nicky: Alrighty!

Nicky: Sharon! Two answers for you! Ones a score and ones a bore! Madelon likes mojitos and Tina... Uhh.. Something to do with Mackay?
Sharon: How do you spell that?!
Nicky: M A C K A Y? Maybe?

Sharon: Alright, with that we have all ten answers apparently. I better write these down and work out the final order and combination.

Sharon: Alright, so in order, we've got:
1. Hayden - Freelancer = 9
2. Lawrence - Beyoncé = 7
3. Glen - Floyd = 5
4. Nicky - Sixteen = 7
5. Sharon - Valquist = 8

6. Tina - Mackay = 6
7. Angelica - Seventeen = 9
8. Everett - Easter = 6
9. Carlos - Three = 5
10. Madelon - Mojito = 6

Sharon: So I have to trust those are the final and correct results. It's all up to if everyone did their best and told the truth really.
Taiha: BOO!
Sharon: *gasps*

Taiha: Tehe! Time is up and I'm here to collect the final answers! If you could, I'd like to grab that book!

Sharon: You know, you shouldn't sneak up on a police officer.
Taiha: True! I'm sure you wouldn't arrest lil ol' me for doing you a frighten, though!
Sharon: Here is the final answers, all 10, in order of question.

Taiha: Perfect! Let me just have quick scan to see if the results are clear and final...

Taiha: Yup! All 10 are here, and in some really nice handwriting too... If you ignore all the panicked scribbles about who answered what... I think it's time that we let everyone out from their cages, and reveal the results of the first challenge!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taiha: Ladies and gentlemen, you've just completed your very first challenge for this season of Mini Mole! Congratulations to all of you for your efforts! Well done.
