Phil: It has come down to the final three teams… Married couple, Michael & Tiffany…
Tiffany (conf): Michael & I can definitely win this race. No doubt about it.
Michael (conf): No questions asked. We'll win this hands down.
Phil: Father & daughter… Thomas & Zoey…
Zoey (conf): We've worked our butts off…
Thomas (conf): We began this race as the major underdogs but look where we are…
Zoey (conf): We CAN win this race.
Phil: And the oldest team to EVER make it into the Final 3… Henry & Florence.
Florence (conf): Being old means nothing…!
Henry (conf): We're the oldest racers ever but here we are… in the Final 3, ready to kick butt.
Florence (conf): The other teams might count us out but watch out! We'll sneak right by them!
Phil: This final leg WILL be EPIC… As the Final 3 teams will battle it out for the one million dollar prize.
Henry: This is it! The million dollar leg!
Tiffany: This is THE leg, baby!
Michael: We're coming in first!
Zoey: As what we'll see soon, Dad! This is it, GO! GO! GO!
Phil: Airport drama reaches its peak this next episode...
(at Siem Reap Airport)
Thomas: We NEED this stroke of luck right now!
Michael: Damn it! We HAVE to get on this flight or we're screwed.
Florence: They're gone. Just like that.
Henry: Good grief! This is so exasperating!
(at an unknown airport)
Thomas: That could have been the costliest mistake we've EVER made.
Florence: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE ARE NO SEATS? YOU JUST LET THEM ON!
Henry: We HAVE to do something…
Michael: We CANNOT afford to be careless at this juncture of the game.
Tiffany: The pressure's really building up…
Phil: As the pressure builds up, teams embark on a journey to the city of Taipei, Taiwan!
Henry: Taiwan, baby!
Florence: That's gonna be NICE!
Thomas: Fly to Taipei, Taiwan!
Zoey: WOW! I love it!
Michael: Fly to Taiwan!
Tiffany: YESS! Awesome!!
Phil: But the team's excitement in Taiwan quickly dwindles as language barrier sends the teams reeling…
Thomas (to taxi driver): NO! NO! This is not it! CHIANG KAI SHEK MEMORIAL HALL!
Taxi Driver (in Chinese): Errr….. Yeah…. Yeah…. Okay.
Zoey (conf): The taxi driver could not speak any English at all and brought us to the freaking wrong place, twice!
Zoey: We are so lost right now, Dad!
Henry (to local): How do you get here? -pointing to their route info-
-Local talks in Chinese-
Florence: Give it up, Henry! He doesn't know! Even if does, he doesn't know how to convey the message to us!
Henry: Man! Isn't this the most frustrating thing ever!?
Phil: Teams also have to come face to face with a pungent local delicacy that is not for the weak-stomached.
Zoey: I can't eat this, Dad!
Zoey (conf): I would never imagine tofu could be so unpalatable. It stank more than the garbage dump in Cambodia. Imagine that!
Thomas: You have to try! For a million bucks!
Zoey: I can't! I'm gonna puke if I even bring it anywhere near my nose!
Thomas: This could be very bad, Zoey…
Zoey: Aww geez!
Florence: Alright. This really stinks even with my standards.
Tiffany: This brings about a whole new definition of STENCH.
**scene shows Tiffany puking**
Michael: God bless you, Tiff.
Phil: As the racers are told to head back to where the race began (Atlanta, Georgia), Michael & Tiffany execute a plot to throw Henry & Florence off the race back to the United States.
(At Taipei's airport, at the ticket counter)
Michael: Our friends, they're pretty old and go by the names Henry & Florence. They only travel on business class so give them tickets for that later when they buy the tickets later. This is very important.
-
Henry: OH MY GOD. THESE ARE BUSINESS CLASS TICKETS!
Florence: DAMN YOU, MICHAEL & TIFFANY…
Florence (conf): It was such a DESPICABLE act… even with a million dollars at stake.
Henry: We're screwed, Florence. Unbelievable! Final flight back to the USA and this happens!
Florence: -starts crying-
**Michael & Tiffany on the plane smiling and grinning as the plane takes off**
Phil: The teams' troubles are not over as fear-related challenges back in the US send the teams spiraling…
**scene shows Thomas & Zoey and Michael & Tiffany rappelling face down the building**
Tiffany: Are you freaking kidding me, Michael?! YOU'RE LOSING TO A GIRL!
Michael: SHUT UP, TIFFANY. I MEAN IT!
**scene shows Henry & Florence looking down the building**
Florence: Alright. I have a fear of heights but this is RIDICULOUS!
Henry: We can do this. It's only 700feet!
Florence: I can't do this, Henry!
Henry: Oh my god! Somebody save us please!
**scene shows Michael & Tiffany at a bee farm**
Tiffany: I'm freaking afraid of bees, Michael!
Michael: I don't care, Tiffany. This is for a million bucks! Get your butt in there before we LOSE ANY MORE TIME.
**Tiffany enters the bee farm and despite the bee suit, freaks out, screams, cries and runs out of the area**
Tiffany (crying): I CAN'T!
Michael: TIFFANY!!
Tiffany (crying): OH MY GOD!
Michael: WE'RE FUCKING SCREWED BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING A TOTAL WUSS! GET IN HERE YOU IDIOT!
Tiffany (conf): At that point, I've had enough.
Tiffany: I FREAKING QUIT. DAMN YOU, MICHAEL. DAMN THIS RACE.
Michael: What the hell!?
Phil: As the Finish Line draws closer and closer, something unexpected happens that shocks the teams…
Michael: Are you freaking KIDDING me?!
Thomas: OH MY GOD! WHAT?!
Zoey (conf): We were so sure that………
Henry: WHAT IN THE WORLD?!
Florence (conf): It was definitely unexpected… Who would've thought that …….
Phil: Twists aside, the game remains fair and every mistake teams make as they get nearer and nearer to the Finish Line will hurt them greatly and benefit the trailing teams…
Henry: How the hell do you walk from here?
Florence: Damn it. We went two blocks in the wrong direction, Henry!
Henry: WE'RE SUCH MORONS!
Florence: That could've REALLY cost us BIG TIME.
Henry: We just need to run from point to point, whenever we can!
Florence: Million dollars is on the line.
Thomas: Unbelivable! He doesn't know where he's going!! This is NOT it!
Zoey: SHOOT! What's with us and taxi cabs today!!
Thomas: Today might end in disappointment at the rate we're going…
-rattlesnake sound-
Phil: The final Roadblock will be a challenge like no other, testing the racers ability to recall intricate race details under the pressure of the one million dollars just right around the corner…
Michael: The hardest Roadblock challenge in the race and it's the most important one yet! I really hope she pulls through!
Florence: It's all up to Henry, right now… Whether we win or lose! If he can pull off a miracle, we're gonna be smiling all the way back home.
Thomas: All we need is to get this and we MIGHT very well be the winners of this race.
Tiffany (to herself): Calm yourself down, Tiffany. You can do this. The finish line is just at the corner…
Henry: Damn it! I can't recall! Please, don't let memory be the thing to make us lose!
Zoey: Shoot. I'm too nervous to think clearly. This might be really bad! DAMN IT. I KNOW THIS!!!
Phil: It's going to be one hell of a close and nail biting race to the Finish Line… And you HAVE to see how this epic episode plays out as one of these three teams… Michael & Tiffany…
Michael (rips open clue): Travel by taxi to the Finish Line!
Phil: … Thomas & Zoey…
Zoey: This is it…
Phil: … and Henry & Florence
Florence: GO! GO! GO!
Phil: … will receive one million dollars and be crowned the winners of The Amazing Race!
