Épisode Dix-Sept: Almost Zere

[Scully and Hitchcock]

SCULLY: Hey, I thought Hitchcock knocked down the foot stool!
HITCHCOCK: I did, but you stood it back up.
SCULLY: Then how come it was still knocked over?
HITCHCOCK: A real mystery.  I'm going to go lie down on the couch in the library again and mull it over.

[Hercule Poirot]

I did laugh at zat. Merci, mes amis.

[Hercule Poirot]

I kind of 'ope zat eet ees a F2, ees zat weird? M. Cohle and I would vote M. Kennedy I think, and eet would be hilarious to me if we could pull off a 2-1-1. I 'ave always wanted to try zat, and in zis situation, I think eet might be possible. But even if we can't, I think I can beat M. Kennedy in a firemaking challenge.

Zis assumes no funny business 'ere. I could be idoled out zis round, and zere ees not much I can do about eet.

[Hercule Poirot]

And if eet ees a F3, zen I probably am going 'ome in fourth unless I win ze challenge, but I might be able to make eet M. Cohle. Zat ees my 'ope anyway.

[Hercule Poirot]

About to receive my first vote of ze game! Eet feels fantastique zat eet took until F5. Less fantastique zat I would 'ave avoided eet if not for zat footstool, but oh well.

[Hercule Poirot]

M. Kennedy says zat 'e ees okay with being with me in ze final two or three and losing. I don't know if 'e believes zat, but eet may be all I 'ave at zis point.

But M. Cohle ees saying zat 'e wants to vote with me next round in case eet ees a F2. Maybe I should try to make eet M. Morningstar next round? I definitely don't feel as confident against 'im in ze firemaking challenge, but if 'e managed to win eet, zen I think eet would be a showdown between me and M. Cohle for who would get ze chance to face off against M. Kennedy. So if I could swing eet, probably my ideal outcome.

[Hercule Poirot]

Mon cœur ees beating so rapidement. I can't even tell you ze stress zat I feel. I wish I 'ad won zat Immunity, uggggh.

Zis last demi-heure ees pure torture.

[Hercule Poirot]

My game ees kind of like I spent ze entire premerge and early merge building up a magnificent carriage to carry me to ze end, which was completed at ze final 9. And zen ze entire game from zere 'as been ze carriage falling apart and now I'm just clutching a steering wheel 'oping zat I still 'ave enough momentum to propel myself across ze finish line.

And we shall see soon enough if I am in ze final four. Two more minutes! I can 'ardly stand eet.
