Whichever team reaches the location will win our grand prize of $1,000,000. Our original twenty-four teams have dwindled down to five. These past weeks have been filled with action, betrayal, and revenge it’s saddening to think of this as the final episode! But who will win the show? Will it be the clever Wolf Team of Elizabeth and Paul? Or Michelle and Christopher of the Gecko Team? Or-”
Host 2 - “Yes, Jason, we get it. Now just stand there and let me talk, will you? [She glares at Jason]
Host 1 - “I guess we’ll have watch and see who wins, am I right, Jennifer? I'm sorry on her behalf, guys. She just woke up cranky like al-”
Host 2 - [Jennifer pushes Jason out of the shot] “That's enough talk. Now let's begin the hunt!”
Scene 2
[Theme song starts - Take a Walk Instrumental Remix]
[Team 1 run onstage and pose. Paper sign that says names and team is out. They run of stage and team 2 follow, sign changes out of frame. Continues until every team has run out and posed.]
Scene 3
Host 1 - “After last week’s battle The Bear Team of Sarah and Mary and The Gecko Team of Christopher and Michelle are tied for first place so they’ll receive the first clues. The other three teams will have to find theirs right here!”
[The two teams enter on stage and receive the clues from an envelope, Mary and Sarah fighting to get there first. With a slight look of disgust (who?) hands both teams their clues.]
Host 1 - “Alright guys, now remember this is the last show, the winner of this wins the grand prize. Good luck to all of you!”
Mary - [Mary reads from the envelope] “Faces to the sun, the- Hey!” [Sarah rips clue out of her hand]
Sarah- “Faces to the sun, they sit in beds for hours. Your next clue’s not inside, it's hidden in … .”
Mary- “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Michelle - [Michelle reads from the envelope. Christopher reads over her shoulder, silently] “I die once a year, yet time makes me stronger. hmmm…”
Host 1 - “Alright, kids. You can go think of the answer to your clue elsewhere.” [He pushes the teams away]
Scene 4
Michelle - [She walks through the woods with Christopher] “So what do you think the answer to this is, Christopher?”
Christopher - “U-um… I’m not sure. It could- ummm… maybe be… [quietly] a- a tree?” [he blushes furiously]
Michelle - “That’s a good answer! Oh my gosh! Christopher, are you okay? Your face is all red, are you sick? I wonder if Paul is a medic.”
Christopher - “I-I’m fine and I don’t think Paul is a medic.”
Michelle - “Oh, good. Just stay with me ‘till the end of this race. I don’t want to be alone.”
[Christopher continues blushing, and looks away]
Scene 5
Sarah - “Okay, so I think I got it! It’s a river.”
Mary - [she rolls her eyes] “Sure it is, and I’m forty-five”
Sarah - “Hey! Look at the clue! ‘they sit in beds for hours’ a river has a bed, and the sunlight reflects in the water!.”
Mary - “One can dream, am I right?” [smirking]
Sarah - [talking fast] “I always dream, especially when I’m sleeping. I never get nightmares. Nightmares are scary to me. I sometimes get nightmares of ghosts when I was little. Plus, I dreamed of being in this race. So my dream came true. Ha-”
Mary - “Sarah! Can you shut up for once? If you talk 24/7 like this, then we won’t be able to win and I won’t be able to think of the answer to this clue!”
Sarah - “But I already solved it, the river’s just over there! Let’s go!” [Sarah drags Mary away]
[Sarah scoffs and the team keeps walking]
Scene 6
Elizabeth - “I found a clue!” [she reaches for the clue on top of a tree]
Paul - [sarcastically] “Hurray, hurray. Round of applause for Miss Know-it-all.”
Elizabeth - “Ugh, and what made you a complete snob?”
Paul - “When I had to be on your team. For all I know, you could just be someone who’s undercover and will execute me someday!”
Elizabeth - [she crosses her arms] “First of all, that is very obnoxious of you to say. Second of all, you’re being paranoid. And third, help me get the clue!”
[Paul easily grabs the clue and opens it]
Paul - “Here, how about you read it if you think I’m too clueless to read a piece of paper. ” [he gives her the clue, then realizing what he said] “No pun intended.”
Elizabeth - “Well, at least you’re right about something for once.” [snatching the clue from Paul] “What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a head but never weeps?”
Paul - “I wonder what it is…?”
Elizabeth - “Of course you do, idiot. It’s obviously the river!”
Paul - “Ugh, fine.” [halfheartedly] “To the river!”
Scene 7
Jessica - “Come on, Becky. It’s really hot out here! There’s no service! And I haven’t had my Starbucks Frappuccino!” [whining]
Becky - “ Me too! I’m, like, actually sweating!” [walking in, fanning herself]
Jessica - “Let’s just get this over with and find some shade.” [opening the note]
Becky - “Well, what does it say?”
Jessica - “Hmm it says ‘Bright like diamonds, hard like rocks, I’m crushed or cubed or solid block. Look inside me and find your clue.’”
Becky - “Um, I kinda lost you at, like, rock.”
Jessica - [Jessica facepalms] “Wow…”
Becky - “What? I thought the clue would be pretty obvious but apparently not.”
Jessica - [She rolls her eyes, sarcastically] “Well, maybe if we just sit here and look desperate somebody will help us…”
Becky - “Good plan!”
Jessica - “Shut. Up. Becky!”
Scene 8
Lisa - [five steps ahead of David] “Come on slow-poke! We’re the last team to leave! I will not lose this competition because my partner is an idiot!”
David - “Hey, take it easy. Our clue’s gotta be around here somewhere.” [lifting up a rock, looking for it]
Lisa - “Ugggh. Fine, you go look for it as far away from me as possible!”
David - [While walking away, he trips on a rock flipping it over. Clue is revealed underneath.] “Hey, look. It’s the clue!”
Lisa - [impatiently] “Well what does it say!”[running over to him]
David - “If I drink, I die. If I eat, I am fine. What am I?... [small pause of thought] Any ideas????”
Lisa - “Umm... Well… Maybe it’ll come to me...”
David - “Sure… Let’s just start looking for something that fits.”
Lisa - “Fine. [points in random direction pretending to know what she’s doing] Let’s search over there.” [runs in that general direction]
Scene 9
Mary - [by the riverbank] “Here! The river! Start looking for an envelope!”
Sarah - [shoving herself in front of Mary] “It’s gotta be around here somewhere.” [Searching through riverrocks]
Mary - [scooping up a clue from underneath the rocks] “Here! I found it!” [lifts up envelope]
Paul - “Hey! That’s our clue!” [running onto stage]
Elizabeth - “I’m not saying I agree with him, but our answer was the river.”
Paul - [Sarcastically muttering] “Thanks a lot.”
Sarah - “Well so did our clue. We found it first, so obviously it’s ours!”
Mary - “Yeah! What she said.”
Elizabeth - “Oh really? Well let’s see your clue if you’re so confident.”
Mary - “It says ‘Faces to the sun, they sit in beds for hours. Your next clue’s not inside, it's hidden in ___ ’ It is obviously the river, since, you know, rivers have beds.”
Paul - “Umm…. Well... I don’t think your clue’s a river… I mean it sounds like it’s a plural object like leaves or something.”
Elizabeth - “A river doesn’t have a face to point at the sun, and it doesn’t even rhyme!”
Sarah - “Then what do you think it is?!”
Paul - “If I have to guess, I’d say flowers, I mean they-”
Elizabeth - “Don’t give them the answer!”
Mary - “Too late! See you at the finish line! When we win!” [Tossing clue as far as she can- which isn’t very far]
Paul - [to Elizabeth] “Sorry….”
Elizabeth - [walking to get the clue] “Great, that helps sooo much. Let’s just get this clue and move on.” [picking up and opening envelope] “What word begins and ends with an E, but only has one letter?”
Paul - “I’ve heard this one before... Isn’t it an envelope? But where would we find one around here?”
Elizabeth - [Sighs and shakes her head, waving the envelope that the clue was in] “How about here.”
Paul - “Umm... Oh… That makes sense.”
Elizabeth - “Of course it does! I said it!” [flips/tears envelope so she can see the inside] “Here it is! The final location! What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Paul - [sarcastically] “You got any genius ideas on this one?”
Elizabeth - [glaring at him] “What about you?” [sarcastically] “You always love to remind me that you’re just as intelligent as me.”
Paul - “Elizabeth! Don’t do this now! We’re so close to winning! Can’t you go throw your fit after we win!”
Elizabeth - “Throw my fit? Ugh! You’re so annoying! Why did I have to be partners with someone as hopeless as you! That’s it! I’m not helping you at all for the rest of this! Good luck winning without me!” [angrily stalking away]
Paul - “Elizabeth, wait!” [chasing after her]
Scene 10
Michelle - “We been searching through trees for hours! Who thinks that one measly tree in a whole forest was a good place to lead us to! I mean it could be anywhere!”
Christopher - [quietly] “Yeah… Maybe it’s not a tree?”
Michelle - “No, it’s most definitely a tree. We just need to find it.” [looking up in exasperation] “It’s got to be around here somewhere!”
Christopher - “Michelle! I think I found it! But…” [voice trailing off]
Michelle - [running toward him] “But what! Ohhh.” [looking up a clue high up in the tree] “Can you reach it?”
Christopher - “I-I’m not sure.” [reaching as high as he can but the clue is still out of reach] “No. Maybe- Maybe there's something else we can do…?”
Michelle - “That’s it!” [starting to shake the tree]
Christopher - “Michelle? What are you doing?”
Michelle - “Shaking the tree to make the envelope fall out! Come on, help!” [both start shaking tree until the clue flies out and lands on the ground. Michelle picks it up and opens it] “There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?”
Christopher - “Huh! What’s that supposed to be, it sounds like a bunch of meaningless words thrown together!”
Michelle - “Maybe... But maybe not... What if it’s symbolism or something?”
Christopher - “O-Okay, but what would it symbolize?”
Michelle - “I don’t know, maybe a plant or something?”
Christopher - “Umm... Well... There are a lot of plants here... Hmm... Maybe a fruit or something?”
Michelle - “Green then white then red, those have to mean something.”
Christopher - “And the babies could be seeds? Maybe?”
Michelle - “That makes sense!” [giving Christopher an excited hug] “We can do this!”
Christopher - “Uh- uh -yeah!” [blushing]
Michelle - [slight pause of thought] “I’ve got it! It’s a watermelon! You have the green and white rhines and the red or pink fruit inside with seeds! Now all we need to do is find a watermelon in the woods!”
Christopher - “Easier said than done. Do you see any watermelons around here?”
Michelle - “No, but there has to be some around here! Come on, let’s win this thing!” [runs of leaving Christopher to catch up]
Scene 11
[Elizabeth wandering through the woods]
Elizabeth - “Ugh! Why did I have to be partners with him! He’s so intolerable! It’s like I’m babysitting some sort of child!” [Continues fumingly walking forwards. After a brief pause] “It’s not crazy to actually want a good partner on this show, is it?” [Sighs, and then continues walking. After another brief segment of break, you hear Lisa and David crashing through the woods looking for their clue.]
Lisa - “This isn’t working!”
David - “Well do you have any other ideas!?”
Lisa - “Let me look at that clue again!” [rips clue out of his hands]
David - “Hey!”
Lisa - “Ugh! It still doesn't make any sense!”
Elizabeth - [still on stage] Lisa? David? Is that you?
David - “What are you doing here? Where’s Paul?”
Elizabeth - “We split up.”
Lisa - “How about you join our team?”
David - “But-” [Cut-off when Lisa kicks him]
Elizabeth - [cautiously] “You sure?”
Lisa - “Certainly, see here’s our clue: if I drink, I die. If I eat, I am fine. What am I?”
Elizabeth - “Well what’s something you can feed but not douse with water?”
David - “Umm...”
Lisa - [rolls her eyes at her partner] “Well, you can put out a flame with water... But you don’t really feed it... Unless… It’s a fire! You can feed a fire but it can’t drink without being put out!”
Elizabeth - “Exactly! Now we need to look for smoke or other signs of some sort of fire!”
David - “Over there!” [points past camera] “Smoke!”
Lisa - “Let’s go!” [all three run off stage]
Scene 12
Becky - “This isn’t working! We’ve been here for, like, hours! A team has probably already won by now!”
Jessica - [slightly shaking Becky] “Pull it together, girl! We can’t lose hope now. We’ve got so much to win for: fame, fortune, and name recognition!”
Becky - “But no one has come to our rescue! We might actually have to do something!”
Jessica - “Well we both know we can rely on that!”
Becky - “Fine. I guess we just have to keep waiting for someone to help.” [as if on cue Paul walks onto stage, looking for Elizabeth] “Paul? Is that you? Have you come to save us and help us solve this impossible clue?”
Paul - “Umm... Maybe? Have either of you seen Elizabeth?”
Jessica - [disgusted] “Ugh, your hideous teammate? Why worry about her, come and help us… Please? [batting eyelashes]
Paul - “Okay, I guess it couldn’t harm to help you... What’s your impossible clue?”
Jessica - “Alright, but it’s, like, really hard!”
Becky - “Bright like diamonds, hard like rocks, I’m crushed or cubed or solid block. Look inside me and find your clue. Isn’t it so difficult!”
Paul - “Umm, well. It kinda sounds like ice.”
Jessica - “Ohmygosh Paul! You're sooo smart! How did you ever think of that!”
Paul - [uncomfortably] “It wasn’t that hard.”
Becky - “Let’s go find some ice!”
Scene 13
Sarah - [laughing] “I can not believe they told us the answer!”
Mary - “It was too easy!”
Sarah - “And look!” [Mary looks, but in the wrong direction] “Not there!” [Points toward a bunch of flowers] “There! Look, flowers like in our clue!”
Mary - “We’ll be winning this in no time!” [runs over to flowers and searches till she finds an envelope]
Sarah - “Clue number two, we found you!”
Mary - “Um, what?”
Sarah - “We found the second clue!”
Mary - “Okay then.”
Sarah - “Well, what does it say!”
Mary - “It reads ‘what kind of room has no doors or windows?’”
Sarah - “That’s easy. A bedro- oh wait.”
Mary - [sarcastically] “Try a mushroom.”
Sarah - “Oh. I knew that.”
Mary - [condescendingly] “Sure you did. Let’s just find these mushrooms and win!”
Sarah - [muted] “Okay.”
Scene 14
Lisa - “Aha!” [points to a small fire with an envelope near by it] “The fire and our clue!”
Elizabeth - [runs forward and opens clue] “What kind of tree can you carry in your hand?”
David - “Um, a small one?”
Lisa - [sighing] “Great, you go looking for a small tree, while me and Elizabeth solve the clue!”
David - “Are you being serious or-”
Elizabeth - “It’s a palm tree!” [both look at her stunned] “You can hold a palm tree in your palm!”
Lisa and David - “Ohhh.”
Elizabeth - “Now we just need to find a palm tree somewhere in this forest.”
Lisa - [sarcastically] “Off we go again.”
Scene 15
Paul - “Hurry up.”
Becky - “We’re trying! You’re just going to fast.”
Jessica - “I don’t see any ice anywhere! And why would there be any. It’s, like, June.”
Paul - “Hmm. You’re right. No natural ice would be out here, maybe we should head back to the start..”
Jessica - “Wait, I see something up ahead.”
Becky - [hopefully] “Is it ice?”
Paul - “Let’s go check it out.” [all three approach a small container filled with half melted ice cubes, they find the clue underneath it]
Becky - “What does it say?”
Paul - “I have a head but no body, a heart but no blood. Just leaves and no branches, I grow without wood. What am I?”
Jessica - “What does that mean?”
Paul- “I’m not sure... Maybe... Maybe it’s lettuce? There’s a head and heart and no branches or wood.”
Becky- “Yes! That’s totally it! We’re so close to winning Jessica! I can see us now!”
Paul- “Umm, maybe I should go. Elizabeth is probably looking for me.”
Jessica- “No! Please stay with us!”
Paul- “I’m sorry, but-”
Becky- “You can’t just abandon us now!”
Paul- “I have to go find my teammate.”[runs off stage]
Becky- [after a brief pause of disbelief] “What do we do now?”
Jessica- “Now we go find some lettuce, and hope the last clue is really, really, easy.”
Scene 16-
Sarah- “Look! A patch of mushrooms! And next to it…” [runs forward] “Our clue!” [grabs clue from ground]
Mary- “And we didn’t even have to search that hard!”
Sarah- “I know! We’ll have this game won in no time!”
Mary- [impatiently] “Well, open it!”
Sarah- “Okay!” [rips open clue enthusiastically. reading] “What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Mary- “Oh… Umm... Maybe… No… You have any ideas?”
Sarah- “No!” [whining] “And we were so close to winning!”
Mary- “Ugh, let’s go see if any of the other teams know it.”
Sarah ”Why would they help us win, though?”
Mary- “That doesn’t mean we can’t get it!”
Scene 17
Michelle- “Keep looking, Chris! There has to be a watermelon around here!”
Christopher- “I know.”
Michelle- “Look! Over there!” [points to a watermelon] “A watermelon!”
Christopher- “And next to it’s our clue!”
Michelle- [runs over a picks up clue] “The last one!” [hesitates for a second then rips it open] “It says- What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Christopher- “Well… Wow… This is harder than I thought.”
Michelle- “We can still solve it though. We just need to think about it.”
Christopher- “Okay. Do you have any ideas?”
Michelle- “Not at the moment.”
Scene 18
Becky- “See anything, Jess?”
Jessica- “Nothing.”
Becky- “We’re gonna lose!”
Jessica- “We can’t lose! We have to win this! We’re gonna be famous.”
Becky- “I know, but I don’t see lettuce anywh-”
Jessica- “THERE! Lettuce!”
Becky- “No way!” [runs over and discovers clue. Tears open envelope] “What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Jessica- “Oh, that’s hard.”
Becky- “Like, really hard.”
Scene 19
Lisa- “Aha! A palm tree! And our clue! See David, I was right.”
David- [sarcastically] “Yes, great, you’re so brilliant.”
Lisa- “I know. I am.” [stands still, proud of herself]
Elizabeth- “Umm maybe we should get the clue.”
Lisa- “Oh, yes, right. David, you go and do that.”
David- “Alright then.” [walks over and grabs clue from branch] “It reads what has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Elizabeth- “I have no idea what it means.”
Lisa- “Really? Then you’re of no use to us! Go back to your real team, Elizabeth. Then you can see me and David win!”
David- “Technically it’s David and I-”
Lisa- “Shut up!”
Elizabeth- [backing away] “You- you don’t want me here?”
Lisa- “No. Come on, David.” [pulls him off stage]
Elizabeth- “What am I supposed to do now.” [slowly pacing] “Paul could be anywhere out there.”
Paul- “Elizabeth!”
Elizabeth- [shocked] “Paul? What are you doing here?”
Paul- “Look. I’m sorry about earlier, but I know we can win this! We have to at least try, right?”
Elizabeth- “I- I guess. But the final clue.. We still don’t know what it means.”
Paul- “We just need to think about it.”
Elizabeth- “What has roots that no one sees…”
Paul- “But it can be a tree because the next line says it’s taller than trees.”
Elizabeth- “Not to mention there are too many trees around here for that to be the final location.”
Paul- “Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Elizabeth- “I’ve got it!”
Paul- “Really?”
Elizabeth- “Yes! It’s a mountain! It’s taller than trees, and never grows! Plus there’s only one around here! Quickly, Paul! To the foot of the mountains!”
Mary- “Aha!” [camera zooms to where Mary and Sarah stand up from the bushes they were hiding]
Sarah- “We’ll reach those mountains way before you!” [runs off stage]
Paul- “Quickly! After them!” [Paul runs after them followed by Elizabeth]
Scene 20
Becky- “Think of anything Jessica?”
Jessica- [disappointedly] “No.”
Becky- [sighing] “I wonder if anyone has solved it yet?”
Jessica- “Who knows.” [both girls let out long sighs. Then we hear footstep in the background]
Becky- “What’s that?”
Jessica- “It’s Paul, Elizabeth, Mary, and Sarah!”
Becky- “They must have solved the clue!”
Jessica- “After them!” [both girls run and join the group running towards the mountains.]
Scene 21
Lisa- “Great, now that we ditched Elizabeth we can solve the clue and win!”
David- “But… You know…”
Lisa- “What is it!”
David- “Well... Umm… Elizabeth was actually smart! We needed her!”
Lisa- “No we did not! We have me!”
David- “Uh- uh- um- okay then.”
Lisa- “Good.”
David- “Do you have any idea what the answer is?”
Lisa- “It’ll come to me.”
David- “Great.” [footsteps thundering towards the two] “Do you hear something?”
Lisa- “Shut up! I’m thinking!”
David- “Lisa!”
Lisa- “Shh-”
David- “It’s the other teams! They’re headed towards the mountains!”
Lisa- “That’s the answer! I knew it would come to me!”
David- “Come on!” [drags her towards the horde] “We have to catch up with them!” [both start running]
Scene 22
Christopher- “I- I think I have it Michelle..”
Michelle- “Really? What is it?”
Christopher- “It’s a mountain.”
Michelle- “Yes! That’s it! We can win this thing!”
Christopher- “Yeah, let’s go!” [both run until they catch up with the others]
Michelle- “Woah! Looks like it’s gonna be an all out sprint to the finish!”
Scene 23

David- “Sure.”
Jessica- “Come on Becky! We can win this!” [both girls high-five]
Becky- “Yeah!”
Sarah- “No you can’t! I’ll win! My aunt and uncle will make sure of that!”
Lisa- “Just because you’re related to the hosts doesn’t mean you get to win!”
Sarah- “Yes it does!”
David- “No it doesn’t!”
Elizabeth- [quietly to Paul] “Let’s go now, while they’re bickering.”
Paul- “Good idea.” [the two pull ahead]
Host 2- [shouting of the noise of the fighting contestants] “Whoever get’s here first will win our grand prize!”
Elizabeth- “Paul! We’re almost there!”
Mary- “Not if I can help it!”[reaches forward to pull Elizabeth down but trips and falls down herself] “Ah!”
Paul- [to Elizabeth] “You okay?”
Elizabeth- “I’m fine.” [Paul and Elizabeth quickly regain ground they lost from their stumble and just barely cross the finish line before Lisa and David] “We did it!!!”
Lisa- “No fair!”
Host 2- “Congratulations to the Wolf team!” [ the other contests walk off stage except for Sarah] “They have now won The Winnin-”

Scene 1
Host 1 - “Welcome back to The Winning Clue! Our final contestants will quest for five hidden clues which will be leading to one spot. Whichever team reaches the location will win our grand prize of $1,000,000. Our original twenty-four teams have dwindled down to five. These past weeks have been filled with action, betrayal, and revenge it’s saddening to think of this as the final episode! But who will win the show? Will it be the clever Wolf Team of Elizabeth and Paul? Or Michelle and Christopher of the Gecko Team? Or-”
Host 2 - “Yes, Jason, we get it. Now just stand there and let me talk, will you? [She glares at Jason]
Host 1 - “I guess we’ll have watch and see who wins, am I right, Jennifer? I'm sorry on her behalf, guys. She just woke up cranky like al-”
Host 2 - [Jennifer pushes Jason out of the shot] “That's enough talk. Now let's begin the hunt!”
Scene 2
[Theme song starts - Take a Walk Instrumental Remix]
[Team 1 run onstage and pose. Paper sign that says names and team is out. They run of stage and team 2 follow, sign changes out of frame. Continues until every team has run out and posed.]
Scene 3
Host 1 - “After last week’s battle The Bear Team of Sarah and Mary and The Gecko Team of Christopher and Michelle are tied for first place so they’ll receive the first clues. The other three teams will have to find theirs right here!”
[The two teams enter on stage and receive the clues from an envelope, Mary and Sarah fighting to get there first. With a slight look of disgust (who?) hands both teams their clues.]
Host 1 - “Alright guys, now remember this is the last show, the winner of this wins the grand prize. Good luck to all of you!”
Mary - [Mary reads from the envelope] “Faces to the sun, the- Hey!” [Sarah rips clue out of her hand]
Sarah- “Faces to the sun, they sit in beds for hours. Your next clue’s not inside, it's hidden in … .”
Mary- “What’s that supposed to mean?”
Michelle - [Michelle reads from the envelope. Christopher reads over her shoulder, silently] “I die once a year, yet time makes me stronger. hmmm…”
Host 1 - “Alright, kids. You can go think of the answer to your clue elsewhere.” [He pushes the teams away]
Scene 4
Michelle - [She walks through the woods with Christopher] “So what do you think the answer to this is, Christopher?”
Christopher - “U-um… I’m not sure. It could- ummm… maybe be… [quietly] a- a tree?” [he blushes furiously]
Michelle - “That’s a good answer! Oh my gosh! Christopher, are you okay? Your face is all red, are you sick? I wonder if Paul is a medic.”
Christopher - “I-I’m fine and I don’t think Paul is a medic.”
Michelle - “Oh, good. Just stay with me ‘till the end of this race. I don’t want to be alone.”
[Christopher continues blushing, and looks away]
Scene 5
Sarah - “Okay, so I think I got it! It’s a river.”
Mary - [she rolls her eyes] “Sure it is, and I’m forty-five”
Sarah - “Hey! Look at the clue! ‘they sit in beds for hours’ a river has a bed, and the sunlight reflects in the water!.”
Mary - “One can dream, am I right?” [smirking]
Sarah - [talking fast] “I always dream, especially when I’m sleeping. I never get nightmares. Nightmares are scary to me. I sometimes get nightmares of ghosts when I was little. Plus, I dreamed of being in this race. So my dream came true. Ha-”
Mary - “Sarah! Can you shut up for once? If you talk 24/7 like this, then we won’t be able to win and I won’t be able to think of the answer to this clue!”
Sarah - “But I already solved it, the river’s just over there! Let’s go!” [Sarah drags Mary away]
[Sarah scoffs and the team keeps walking]
Scene 6
Elizabeth - “I found a clue!” [she reaches for the clue on top of a tree]
Paul - [sarcastically] “Hurray, hurray. Round of applause for Miss Know-it-all.”
Elizabeth - “Ugh, and what made you a complete snob?”
Paul - “When I had to be on your team. For all I know, you could just be someone who’s undercover and will execute me someday!”
Elizabeth - [she crosses her arms] “First of all, that is very obnoxious of you to say. Second of all, you’re being paranoid. And third, help me get the clue!”
[Paul easily grabs the clue and opens it]
Paul - “Here, how about you read it if you think I’m too clueless to read a piece of paper. ” [he gives her the clue, then realizing what he said] “No pun intended.”
Elizabeth - “Well, at least you’re right about something for once.” [snatching the clue from Paul] “What can run but never walks, has a mouth but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a head but never weeps?”
Paul - “I wonder what it is…?”
Elizabeth - “Of course you do, idiot. It’s obviously the river!”
Paul - “Ugh, fine.” [halfheartedly] “To the river!”
Scene 7
Jessica - “Come on, Becky. It’s really hot out here! There’s no service! And I haven’t had my Starbucks Frappuccino!” [whining]
Becky - “ Me too! I’m, like, actually sweating!” [walking in, fanning herself]
Jessica - “Let’s just get this over with and find some shade.” [opening the note]
Becky - “Well, what does it say?”
Jessica - “Hmm it says ‘Bright like diamonds, hard like rocks, I’m crushed or cubed or solid block. Look inside me and find your clue.’”
Becky - “Um, I kinda lost you at, like, rock.”
Jessica - [Jessica facepalms] “Wow…”
Becky - “What? I thought the clue would be pretty obvious but apparently not.”
Jessica - [She rolls her eyes, sarcastically] “Well, maybe if we just sit here and look desperate somebody will help us…”
Becky - “Good plan!”
Jessica - “Shut. Up. Becky!”
Scene 8
Lisa - [five steps ahead of David] “Come on slow-poke! We’re the last team to leave! I will not lose this competition because my partner is an idiot!”
David - “Hey, take it easy. Our clue’s gotta be around here somewhere.” [lifting up a rock, looking for it]
Lisa - “Ugggh. Fine, you go look for it as far away from me as possible!”
David - [While walking away, he trips on a rock flipping it over. Clue is revealed underneath.] “Hey, look. It’s the clue!”
Lisa - [impatiently] “Well what does it say!”[running over to him]
David - “If I drink, I die. If I eat, I am fine. What am I?... [small pause of thought] Any ideas????”
Lisa - “Umm... Well… Maybe it’ll come to me...”
David - “Sure… Let’s just start looking for something that fits.”
Lisa - “Fine. [points in random direction pretending to know what she’s doing] Let’s search over there.” [runs in that general direction]
Scene 9
Mary - [by the riverbank] “Here! The river! Start looking for an envelope!”
Sarah - [shoving herself in front of Mary] “It’s gotta be around here somewhere.” [Searching through riverrocks]
Mary - [scooping up a clue from underneath the rocks] “Here! I found it!” [lifts up envelope]
Paul - “Hey! That’s our clue!” [running onto stage]
Elizabeth - “I’m not saying I agree with him, but our answer was the river.”
Paul - [Sarcastically muttering] “Thanks a lot.”
Sarah - “Well so did our clue. We found it first, so obviously it’s ours!”
Mary - “Yeah! What she said.”
Elizabeth - “Oh really? Well let’s see your clue if you’re so confident.”
Mary - “It says ‘Faces to the sun, they sit in beds for hours. Your next clue’s not inside, it's hidden in ___ ’ It is obviously the river, since, you know, rivers have beds.”
Paul - “Umm…. Well... I don’t think your clue’s a river… I mean it sounds like it’s a plural object like leaves or something.”
Elizabeth - “A river doesn’t have a face to point at the sun, and it doesn’t even rhyme!”
Sarah - “Then what do you think it is?!”
Paul - “If I have to guess, I’d say flowers, I mean they-”
Elizabeth - “Don’t give them the answer!”
Mary - “Too late! See you at the finish line! When we win!” [Tossing clue as far as she can- which isn’t very far]
Paul - [to Elizabeth] “Sorry….”
Elizabeth - [walking to get the clue] “Great, that helps sooo much. Let’s just get this clue and move on.” [picking up and opening envelope] “What word begins and ends with an E, but only has one letter?”
Paul - “I’ve heard this one before... Isn’t it an envelope? But where would we find one around here?”
Elizabeth - [Sighs and shakes her head, waving the envelope that the clue was in] “How about here.”
Paul - “Umm... Oh… That makes sense.”
Elizabeth - “Of course it does! I said it!” [flips/tears envelope so she can see the inside] “Here it is! The final location! What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Paul - [sarcastically] “You got any genius ideas on this one?”
Elizabeth - [glaring at him] “What about you?” [sarcastically] “You always love to remind me that you’re just as intelligent as me.”
Paul - “Elizabeth! Don’t do this now! We’re so close to winning! Can’t you go throw your fit after we win!”
Elizabeth - “Throw my fit? Ugh! You’re so annoying! Why did I have to be partners with someone as hopeless as you! That’s it! I’m not helping you at all for the rest of this! Good luck winning without me!” [angrily stalking away]
Paul - “Elizabeth, wait!” [chasing after her]
Scene 10
Michelle - “We been searching through trees for hours! Who thinks that one measly tree in a whole forest was a good place to lead us to! I mean it could be anywhere!”
Christopher - [quietly] “Yeah… Maybe it’s not a tree?”
Michelle - “No, it’s most definitely a tree. We just need to find it.” [looking up in exasperation] “It’s got to be around here somewhere!”
Christopher - “Michelle! I think I found it! But…” [voice trailing off]
Michelle - [running toward him] “But what! Ohhh.” [looking up a clue high up in the tree] “Can you reach it?”
Christopher - “I-I’m not sure.” [reaching as high as he can but the clue is still out of reach] “No. Maybe- Maybe there's something else we can do…?”
Michelle - “That’s it!” [starting to shake the tree]
Christopher - “Michelle? What are you doing?”
Michelle - “Shaking the tree to make the envelope fall out! Come on, help!” [both start shaking tree until the clue flies out and lands on the ground. Michelle picks it up and opens it] “There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house. Inside the white house there was a red house. Inside the red house there were lots of babies. What is it?”
Christopher - “Huh! What’s that supposed to be, it sounds like a bunch of meaningless words thrown together!”
Michelle - “Maybe... But maybe not... What if it’s symbolism or something?”
Christopher - “O-Okay, but what would it symbolize?”
Michelle - “I don’t know, maybe a plant or something?”
Christopher - “Umm... Well... There are a lot of plants here... Hmm... Maybe a fruit or something?”
Michelle - “Green then white then red, those have to mean something.”
Christopher - “And the babies could be seeds? Maybe?”
Michelle - “That makes sense!” [giving Christopher an excited hug] “We can do this!”
Christopher - “Uh- uh -yeah!” [blushing]
Michelle - [slight pause of thought] “I’ve got it! It’s a watermelon! You have the green and white rhines and the red or pink fruit inside with seeds! Now all we need to do is find a watermelon in the woods!”
Christopher - “Easier said than done. Do you see any watermelons around here?”
Michelle - “No, but there has to be some around here! Come on, let’s win this thing!” [runs of leaving Christopher to catch up]
Scene 11
[Elizabeth wandering through the woods]
Elizabeth - “Ugh! Why did I have to be partners with him! He’s so intolerable! It’s like I’m babysitting some sort of child!” [Continues fumingly walking forwards. After a brief pause] “It’s not crazy to actually want a good partner on this show, is it?” [Sighs, and then continues walking. After another brief segment of break, you hear Lisa and David crashing through the woods looking for their clue.]
Lisa - “This isn’t working!”
David - “Well do you have any other ideas!?”
Lisa - “Let me look at that clue again!” [rips clue out of his hands]
David - “Hey!”
Lisa - “Ugh! It still doesn't make any sense!”
Elizabeth - [still on stage] Lisa? David? Is that you?
David - “What are you doing here? Where’s Paul?”
Elizabeth - “We split up.”
Lisa - “How about you join our team?”
David - “But-” [Cut-off when Lisa kicks him]
Elizabeth - [cautiously] “You sure?”
Lisa - “Certainly, see here’s our clue: if I drink, I die. If I eat, I am fine. What am I?”
Elizabeth - “Well what’s something you can feed but not douse with water?”
David - “Umm...”
Lisa - [rolls her eyes at her partner] “Well, you can put out a flame with water... But you don’t really feed it... Unless… It’s a fire! You can feed a fire but it can’t drink without being put out!”
Elizabeth - “Exactly! Now we need to look for smoke or other signs of some sort of fire!”
David - “Over there!” [points past camera] “Smoke!”
Lisa - “Let’s go!” [all three run off stage]
Scene 12
Becky - “This isn’t working! We’ve been here for, like, hours! A team has probably already won by now!”
Jessica - [slightly shaking Becky] “Pull it together, girl! We can’t lose hope now. We’ve got so much to win for: fame, fortune, and name recognition!”
Becky - “But no one has come to our rescue! We might actually have to do something!”
Jessica - “Well we both know we can rely on that!”
Becky - “Fine. I guess we just have to keep waiting for someone to help.” [as if on cue Paul walks onto stage, looking for Elizabeth] “Paul? Is that you? Have you come to save us and help us solve this impossible clue?”
Paul - “Umm... Maybe? Have either of you seen Elizabeth?”
Jessica - [disgusted] “Ugh, your hideous teammate? Why worry about her, come and help us… Please? [batting eyelashes]
Paul - “Okay, I guess it couldn’t harm to help you... What’s your impossible clue?”
Jessica - “Alright, but it’s, like, really hard!”
Becky - “Bright like diamonds, hard like rocks, I’m crushed or cubed or solid block. Look inside me and find your clue. Isn’t it so difficult!”
Paul - “Umm, well. It kinda sounds like ice.”
Jessica - “Ohmygosh Paul! You're sooo smart! How did you ever think of that!”
Paul - [uncomfortably] “It wasn’t that hard.”
Becky - “Let’s go find some ice!”
Scene 13
Sarah - [laughing] “I can not believe they told us the answer!”
Mary - “It was too easy!”
Sarah - “And look!” [Mary looks, but in the wrong direction] “Not there!” [Points toward a bunch of flowers] “There! Look, flowers like in our clue!”
Mary - “We’ll be winning this in no time!” [runs over to flowers and searches till she finds an envelope]
Sarah - “Clue number two, we found you!”
Mary - “Um, what?”
Sarah - “We found the second clue!”
Mary - “Okay then.”
Sarah - “Well, what does it say!”
Mary - “It reads ‘what kind of room has no doors or windows?’”
Sarah - “That’s easy. A bedro- oh wait.”
Mary - [sarcastically] “Try a mushroom.”
Sarah - “Oh. I knew that.”
Mary - [condescendingly] “Sure you did. Let’s just find these mushrooms and win!”
Sarah - [muted] “Okay.”
Scene 14
Lisa - “Aha!” [points to a small fire with an envelope near by it] “The fire and our clue!”
Elizabeth - [runs forward and opens clue] “What kind of tree can you carry in your hand?”
David - “Um, a small one?”
Lisa - [sighing] “Great, you go looking for a small tree, while me and Elizabeth solve the clue!”
David - “Are you being serious or-”
Elizabeth - “It’s a palm tree!” [both look at her stunned] “You can hold a palm tree in your palm!”
Lisa and David - “Ohhh.”
Elizabeth - “Now we just need to find a palm tree somewhere in this forest.”
Lisa - [sarcastically] “Off we go again.”
Scene 15
Paul - “Hurry up.”
Becky - “We’re trying! You’re just going to fast.”
Jessica - “I don’t see any ice anywhere! And why would there be any. It’s, like, June.”
Paul - “Hmm. You’re right. No natural ice would be out here, maybe we should head back to the start..”
Jessica - “Wait, I see something up ahead.”
Becky - [hopefully] “Is it ice?”
Paul - “Let’s go check it out.” [all three approach a small container filled with half melted ice cubes, they find the clue underneath it]
Becky - “What does it say?”
Paul - “I have a head but no body, a heart but no blood. Just leaves and no branches, I grow without wood. What am I?”
Jessica - “What does that mean?”
Paul- “I’m not sure... Maybe... Maybe it’s lettuce? There’s a head and heart and no branches or wood.”
Becky- “Yes! That’s totally it! We’re so close to winning Jessica! I can see us now!”
Paul- “Umm, maybe I should go. Elizabeth is probably looking for me.”
Jessica- “No! Please stay with us!”
Paul- “I’m sorry, but-”
Becky- “You can’t just abandon us now!”
Paul- “I have to go find my teammate.”[runs off stage]
Becky- [after a brief pause of disbelief] “What do we do now?”
Jessica- “Now we go find some lettuce, and hope the last clue is really, really, easy.”
Scene 16-
Sarah- “Look! A patch of mushrooms! And next to it…” [runs forward] “Our clue!” [grabs clue from ground]
Mary- “And we didn’t even have to search that hard!”
Sarah- “I know! We’ll have this game won in no time!”
Mary- [impatiently] “Well, open it!”
Sarah- “Okay!” [rips open clue enthusiastically. reading] “What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Mary- “Oh… Umm... Maybe… No… You have any ideas?”
Sarah- “No!” [whining] “And we were so close to winning!”
Mary- “Ugh, let’s go see if any of the other teams know it.”
Sarah ”Why would they help us win, though?”
Mary- “That doesn’t mean we can’t get it!”
Scene 17
Michelle- “Keep looking, Chris! There has to be a watermelon around here!”
Christopher- “I know.”
Michelle- “Look! Over there!” [points to a watermelon] “A watermelon!”
Christopher- “And next to it’s our clue!”
Michelle- [runs over a picks up clue] “The last one!” [hesitates for a second then rips it open] “It says- What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Christopher- “Well… Wow… This is harder than I thought.”
Michelle- “We can still solve it though. We just need to think about it.”
Christopher- “Okay. Do you have any ideas?”
Michelle- “Not at the moment.”
Scene 18
Becky- “See anything, Jess?”
Jessica- “Nothing.”
Becky- “We’re gonna lose!”
Jessica- “We can’t lose! We have to win this! We’re gonna be famous.”
Becky- “I know, but I don’t see lettuce anywh-”
Jessica- “THERE! Lettuce!”
Becky- “No way!” [runs over and discovers clue. Tears open envelope] “What has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Jessica- “Oh, that’s hard.”
Becky- “Like, really hard.”
Scene 19
Lisa- “Aha! A palm tree! And our clue! See David, I was right.”
David- [sarcastically] “Yes, great, you’re so brilliant.”
Lisa- “I know. I am.” [stands still, proud of herself]
Elizabeth- “Umm maybe we should get the clue.”
Lisa- “Oh, yes, right. David, you go and do that.”
David- “Alright then.” [walks over and grabs clue from branch] “It reads what has roots that nobody sees, and is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Elizabeth- “I have no idea what it means.”
Lisa- “Really? Then you’re of no use to us! Go back to your real team, Elizabeth. Then you can see me and David win!”
David- “Technically it’s David and I-”
Lisa- “Shut up!”
Elizabeth- [backing away] “You- you don’t want me here?”
Lisa- “No. Come on, David.” [pulls him off stage]
Elizabeth- “What am I supposed to do now.” [slowly pacing] “Paul could be anywhere out there.”
Paul- “Elizabeth!”
Elizabeth- [shocked] “Paul? What are you doing here?”
Paul- “Look. I’m sorry about earlier, but I know we can win this! We have to at least try, right?”
Elizabeth- “I- I guess. But the final clue.. We still don’t know what it means.”
Paul- “We just need to think about it.”
Elizabeth- “What has roots that no one sees…”
Paul- “But it can be a tree because the next line says it’s taller than trees.”
Elizabeth- “Not to mention there are too many trees around here for that to be the final location.”
Paul- “Up, up, up it goes, and yet it never grows.”
Elizabeth- “I’ve got it!”
Paul- “Really?”
Elizabeth- “Yes! It’s a mountain! It’s taller than trees, and never grows! Plus there’s only one around here! Quickly, Paul! To the foot of the mountains!”
Mary- “Aha!” [camera zooms to where Mary and Sarah stand up from the bushes they were hiding]
Sarah- “We’ll reach those mountains way before you!” [runs off stage]
Paul- “Quickly! After them!” [Paul runs after them followed by Elizabeth]
Scene 20
Becky- “Think of anything Jessica?”
Jessica- [disappointedly] “No.”
Becky- [sighing] “I wonder if anyone has solved it yet?”
Jessica- “Who knows.” [both girls let out long sighs. Then we hear footstep in the background]
Becky- “What’s that?”
Jessica- “It’s Paul, Elizabeth, Mary, and Sarah!”
Becky- “They must have solved the clue!”
Jessica- “After them!” [both girls run and join the group running towards the mountains.]
Scene 21
Lisa- “Great, now that we ditched Elizabeth we can solve the clue and win!”
David- “But… You know…”
Lisa- “What is it!”
David- “Well... Umm… Elizabeth was actually smart! We needed her!”
Lisa- “No we did not! We have me!”
David- “Uh- uh- um- okay then.”
Lisa- “Good.”
David- “Do you have any idea what the answer is?”
Lisa- “It’ll come to me.”
David- “Great.” [footsteps thundering towards the two] “Do you hear something?”
Lisa- “Shut up! I’m thinking!”
David- “Lisa!”
Lisa- “Shh-”
David- “It’s the other teams! They’re headed towards the mountains!”
Lisa- “That’s the answer! I knew it would come to me!”
David- “Come on!” [drags her towards the horde] “We have to catch up with them!” [both start running]
Scene 22
Christopher- “I- I think I have it Michelle..”
Michelle- “Really? What is it?”
Christopher- “It’s a mountain.”
Michelle- “Yes! That’s it! We can win this thing!”
Christopher- “Yeah, let’s go!” [both run until they catch up with the others]
Michelle- “Woah! Looks like it’s gonna be an all out sprint to the finish!”
Scene 23
Paul- “Elizabeth? You here?”
Elizabeth- [running up next to him] “Yeah. Right here!”
Mary- “You’re gonna lose!”
Sarah- “Yeah, we’ll win!
Becky- “No, we will!”
Michelle- “Look Christopher! It’s Jennifer Harris!”
Lisa- “Get ready to shove these people out of our way David!”
David- “Sure.”
Jessica- “Come on Becky! We can win this!” [both girls high-five]
Becky- “Yeah!”
Sarah- “No you can’t! I’ll win! My aunt and uncle will make sure of that!”
Lisa- “Just because you’re related to the hosts doesn’t mean you get to win!”
Sarah- “Yes it does!”
David- “No it doesn’t!”
Elizabeth- [quietly to Paul] “Let’s go now, while they’re bickering.”
Paul- “Good idea.” [the two pull ahead]
Host 2- [shouting of the noise of the fighting contestants] “Whoever get’s here first will win our grand prize!”
Elizabeth- “Paul! We’re almost there!”
Mary- “Not if I can help it!”[reaches forward to pull Elizabeth down but trips and falls down herself] “Ah!”
Paul- [to Elizabeth] “You okay?”
Elizabeth- “I’m fine.” [Paul and Elizabeth quickly regain ground they lost from their stumble and just barely cross the finish line before Lisa and David] “We did it!!!”
Lisa- “No fair!”
Host 2- “Congratulations to the Wolf team!” [ the other contests walk off stage except for Sarah] “They have now won The Winnin-”
Sarah- “Aunt Jennifer! You can just let me lose! I was going to win!”
Host 2- “Well umm… honey.. You didn’t cross the line first.”
Sarah- “So? I’m family!”
Host 1- [walking onto stage] “Sarah. Come now you lost fair and square we can’t just make you win.”
Sarah- “But- But- but…”
Host 1- “I’m sorry.”
Sarah- “I hate you!” [stalks off stage]
Host 2- “Well… okay then.” [turning towards Elizabeth and Paul] “Congratulations, Wolf team! You are the first ever winners of The Winning Clue! Goodnight everybody! We’ll see you on the next season of The Winning Clue!” [everyone runs onto the stage and waves goodbye]
The cringe is too much!
