Lemmy: Welcome to The Apprentice! We've
had to change the teams today because it came to my attention that Wario
managed to trick my clone into firing one of the members of That Team With
Bowser On It. Here are the new teams:
| 2D Terrors | Vile Venturers |
| Task Manager: Dr. Donez
Amanita Bandit Captain Syrup Goombario Lakitu Tanoomba Watched by: Ludwig |
Task Manager: Bogmire
Bowser Crook B Kamek Mr. Blizzard Roy Wario Watched by: Iggy |
Lemmy: Also, Wario is on very thin ice for this week. In fact, he'll need to hope he manages to be very successful for the next few episodes just to get a prayer of staying in. Anyway, today we'll be working on a more 'direct' approach. The two teams will today work on opening a lot occupied by an abandoned old building for me. Each team will be given one in the exact same town, and will need to find a way to destroy the building in some untraceable way.
Wario: Can you-a just call-a this Grand Theft Auto cause-a this is soundin' a lot like-a Avery Carrington's-a missions-a?
Lemmy: Keep pushing it, Wario. I dare you. Anyway, the 2D Terrors will handle the abandoned train station between Rogueport and Poshley Heights. The other team will try to destroy the large abandoned office building a few miles away from it.
Blizzard: Why are we having so many references to Paper Mario 2? Really, the first episode was the only one without someplace from there... and Doopliss appearing, even though I'm not even supposed to have any clue about that?
Lemmy: Well, truth is I've sold out to make a little extra money for myself. Actually, I didn't even have anything to do with Doopliss. Anyway, the task manager for the 2D Terrors is Donez. The Vile Venturers' task manager is Bogmire. Both teams have an hour, and warp pipes will take you to your destinations. Today Ludwig will work with the 2D Terrors, meaning Iggy will get the Vile Venturers.
The teams and helpers rush to their respective warp pipes.
2D Terrors
The group stands behind the train station, at a warp pipe.
Goombario: We're here. Now what?
Donez: This is simple! Robert, do your stuff!
Donez pulls out a Bob-omb and lays it on the ground. It walks right past the building.
Syrup: Ye got any more bright ideas?
Donez: No, not really.
Syrup: Look, the train isn't in right now so we don't have to worry as no one is here. I've got a plan which'll make Lemmy want me as his apprentice!
Donez: And what would that be?
Syrup: Ye see, we just have to move the train tracks to where they are facing the building!
Amanita: That's a great idea! Glad I thought of it!
Others (including Ludwig): Shut up.
Vile Venturers
Bowser: Perfect! We're stuck with a skyscraper while they get a train station! Let's just say we lose!
Blizzard: If we had some Bob-ombs... but what kind of idiot would actually bring a Bob-omb to an episode of The Apprentice?
The group sees Robert walk by.
Blizzard: ...
Bogmire: I've got it! Kamek, you'll need to use your broom to get me up there. Then, I'll go through the roof, create a few Shadows, and use them to break the windows. This could be followed with Crook B and Roy climbing up, and the three of us along with my Shadows unlocking all of the doors so you all can come in, and Wario can plant Bob-ombs on every floor! Then, my Shadows will light them while all of us get out of here faster than we've ever gone before!
All: ...
Bogmire: Or we could pray for a miracle.
Blizzard: Let's go with that one.
Bogmire: Hey, I'm the task manager and we're going with my plan!
Kamek: I doubt this will work.
Bogmire: Why?
Kamek: How am I supposed to keep you from falling off my broom?
Bogmire: ...
2D Terrors
Donez: Alright, the train tracks have been moved. Now what are we supposed to do for the remaining 55 minutes?
Tanoomba: I don't care. I have immunity!
Syrup: Let's sabotage the others!
Donez: Alright, sure. Say, how much you want to bet that we'll lose just because we finished early?
Syrup: I guarantee it.
The 2D Terrors run over to the office building.
Vile Venturers
Kamek: Alright, so what we'll do is absorb Bogmire into this Poltergust. Then, I'll take the Poltergust up there, free Bogmire, and we'll get on with the rest of the plan. That sound good?
Bogmire: If there was another way it wouldn't, but...
Kamek grabs the Poltergust Bowser happened to have in his shell, sucks Bogmire up, collects all of the pearls he drops, and starts to fly up to the roof when his broom is pulled from underneath him.
Kamek: Agh! Which of you took my broom?!
Blizzard: None of us did!
Kamek: Oh yeah, sure, like there's really a member of the other team here messing with us.
While the Vile Venturers argue, a certain figure with an ice pick reaches down and grabs the Poltergust, handing it to his partners.
2D Terrors
Syrup: Good work Donez. Boy, there's three words I never thought I'd say in a sentence.
Suddenly, Kamek turns around and points his wand into the shadows the 2D Terrors are hiding in.
Kamek: Illuminate!
Light falls on the group as they're exposed.
Donez: Uh... um... look, all 12 of you's shoelaces are untied!
Others: Huh?
Donez: Suckers!
Donez runs off with his ice pick and the Poltergust.
Vile Venturers
Kamek: Well, it's safe to assume Bogmire or Donez will get fired.
Syrup: Indeed.
Kamek points his wand at the remaining 2D Terrors and imprisons them in a bubble.
Kamek: Alright, new plan. Since Bogmire is gone, I'll take command here. Roy, Wario, go and repair the train station. Crook B, get up there and get an entrance ready for me into the skyscraper.
Roy, Wario, and Crook B: Why should we?!
Kamek: What?!
Crook B: You're not the task manager, so you can't make us work.
Kamek: Fine! We'll vote on it! Who do you want to lead you, me or Crook B?
All but Crook B and Kamek: Crook B.
Kamek: Darn.
Crook B: So, what we will do is Roy, Wario, and Bowser will work on beating down one of the doors. Blizzard, Kamek, and me will go and move the tracks, then fix up the building so that it won't collapse because of all of the cracks and such in it. Move out!
Every member of the team rushes off.
2D Terrors
Syrup: This isn't good.
Amanita: No, you think?! That coward is the only one who can save us now, and he's probably a mile away by now.
Donez: Never fear, Donez is here!
Syrup: How did you-
Donez: Don't ask. So, I'll now free you with my Ice Pick attack!
Donez breaks the bubble with his ice pick.
Syrup: We still have time! Yes!
Ludwig: Well, no, actually. The contest ends two minutes from now and they've actually damaged their building slightly.
Syrup: We'd need a miracle to win then...
About a minute later, Crook B, Kamek, and Mr. Blizzard rush out of the train station. Right after they get out, it collapses.
Mr. Blizzard: We really messed up with the jackhammer...
Syrup: That was random.
Warp pipes appear under all of the competitors, both helpers, and the Poltergust. They all end up in Lemmy's Office.
Lemmy's Office
Lemmy: So, how did the destruction job go?
Iggy: Well, the Vile Venturers managed to get their fingerprints over everything in the building, trap their task manager in a Poltergust, knock down only a door in their own building, AND knock over the building the 2D Terrors were working on, all without the 2D Terrors even touching the station!
Ludwig: And Kamek got his whole team mad at him.
Lemmy: Do I really need to say which team goes to Lemmy's Life? 2D Terrors, come get your envelopes which contain 50 coins each. Oh, and now both Tanoomba and Donez on the 2D Terrors team have immunity.
They come get their envelopes and leave. Those remaining in the room go to Lemmy's Life.
Lemmy's Life
Lemmy: This was a sad performance for you all. Someone free Bogmire so he can tell me who he would take to Lemmy's Life with him.
Kamek frees Bogmire.
Bogmire: Finally! I'll take Kamek and Crook B with me!
The others leave.
Lemmy: So, Bogmire, why shouldn't I fire you?
Bogmire: I had a sensible plan, and it would have worked if Donez hadn't messed us up and then the rest of the people on this team didn't forget to free me or try to come up with a backup plan.
Iggy: Actually, Crook B came up with a backup plan which would have worked had Kamek not used a jackhammer on the train station.
Lemmy: I see. Kamek, why shouldn't I fire you?
Kamek: I came up with the idea of the Poltergust-
Lemmy: Which was a complete failure and cost your team!
Kamek: Only because of Donez and the stupid ice pick.
Lemmy: The other team was just being resourceful, as I made no rule about interfering with your opponents for this week.
Kamek: Well, I put together a perfect plan and if the rest had followed it, we would have won!
Lemmy: And there was the matter of the jackhammer...
Kamek: About that... um.. well... um.. you see...
Lemmy: Here's how I respond: you're fired!
The other two competitors leave.
Kamek: Can I have a million coins and your DVD player?
Lemmy: Sure, whatever.
Kamek leaves.
Lemmy: Wait! Darn. Why do I keep falling for this joke?!
