3. DIXI: Series 3, Mean, Motive & Opportunity

## Mean, Motive, & Opportunity - Dixi

There's a shock in store for Mimi as the investigation continues.

## Episode Transcript and Timings

Hey, guys. I'm recording today's rehearsal

0:00:04 0:00:07
so I can watch my scenes back with Ryan.

0:00:07 0:00:09
So I can learn from my mistakes.

0:00:09 0:00:11
And we're going to try Shari's plan to catch The Nameless One.

0:00:11 0:00:14
Benedict will come face-to-face with his own trolling.

0:00:14 0:00:18
-Trollery. Trolocity?

-Mimi?

0:00:18 0:00:20
-Oh, hi, Ryan.

-Have you got a minute?

-Of course!

0:00:20 0:00:24
Yeah! I mean, if you want.

0:00:24 0:00:26
Obviously I'm not fussed either way.

0:00:26 0:00:28
It's been killing me, not divulging it.

0:00:31 0:00:33
-I don't think I can hide the truth for another minute.

-Uh... Huh?

0:00:33 0:00:37
From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the one.

0:00:37 0:00:40
Cupid's arrow went straight to my heart.

0:00:40 0:00:44
But now I must return to the battlefield.

0:00:44 0:00:46
Oh! Oh, you're practising lines.

0:00:47 0:00:50
Well, yeah. That's what I said, isn't it?

0:00:50 0:00:52
Actually, you didn't.

0:00:52 0:00:54
-And Shari's written the scene for today's rehearsal.

-Oh, what?!

0:00:54 0:00:58
Oh, that's 20 minutes learning how to pronounce...

0:00:58 0:01:00
"divulging" down the drain.

0:01:00 0:01:03
OK, so maybe out-of-character Ryan isn't the most eloquent guy,

0:01:03 0:01:07
but who needs fancy words anyway, am I right, ladies?

0:01:07 0:01:10
I think he might really like me.

0:01:10 0:01:11
When he reads those lines and looks into my eyes,

0:01:11 0:01:14
it's like he means every word.

0:01:14 0:01:16
Ah! No, Mimi. That's called acting.

0:01:16 0:01:19
Hey, it's Shari, and this is being late for rehearsal.

0:01:19 0:01:22
No time to change after I helped Isla with her music video,

0:01:22 0:01:25
but I did manage to rewrite the showcase script

0:01:25 0:01:28
just enough to trigger Benedict, if he is The Nameless One.

0:01:28 0:01:32
-What are you wearing?

-Oh...

0:01:32 0:01:34
It doesn't matter, I don't care, it's a great look for you.

0:01:34 0:01:37
-Isla!

-Ryan...

0:01:37 0:01:39
Today's rehearsal is all about transformation.

0:01:39 0:01:42
Like me, you two need to transform into stars.

0:01:42 0:01:45
If it helps, think of yourselves as teen versions of

0:01:45 0:01:48
J-Law or Danny Rad.

0:01:48 0:01:50
Sorry, can you repeat that?

0:01:50 0:01:52
Also, why is Shari a banana?

0:01:52 0:01:53
Shh. Don't speak.

0:01:53 0:01:56
Don't think.

0:01:56 0:01:57
Just transform, Mimi.

0:01:57 0:01:59
Transform!

0:01:59 0:02:00
It's been so hard, hiding my feelings.

0:02:02 0:02:05
I thought you'd seen through my act.

0:02:05 0:02:06
That's probably because I did.

0:02:06 0:02:09
-What?

-Here we go.

0:02:09 0:02:12
You were no match for my keen intelligence, Benji.

0:02:12 0:02:17
What are you saying...Sharon?

0:02:17 0:02:20
I knew it was you from the moment I saw the warning you wrote...

0:02:20 0:02:24
"Look on my works, loser, and despair!"

0:02:24 0:02:27
-Stop!

-See! That touched a nerve.

0:02:27 0:02:30
You did this, didn't you?

0:02:30 0:02:32
-Something bothering you, Benny-boy?

-You!

0:02:32 0:02:35
You violated, ruined, destroyed my script.

0:02:35 0:02:39
Oh, were the lines a little too close to home?

0:02:39 0:02:41
Do you not like hearing your words come back to haunt you?

0:02:41 0:02:43
These aren't my words!

0:02:43 0:02:44
You're the one besmirching my script with these ridiculous accusations.

0:02:44 0:02:47
Or did I misread that little performance?

0:02:47 0:02:49
Yes, you probably did, so let me spell it out for you in case

0:02:49 0:02:51
you can't read between my lines.

0:02:51 0:02:53
I'll have you know I scored 100% on my poetic analysis mock.

0:02:53 0:02:57
Loving this passion! Like Shakespeare and Marlowe!

0:02:57 0:03:01
You're upset because you know I'm onto you.

0:03:01 0:03:03
-You know that I know that you're The Nameless One.

-Oh, really?

0:03:03 0:03:05
Do you also know that I know that you don't know anything?

0:03:05 0:03:08
GASPS

0:03:08 0:03:10
-ALL:

-OMD!

0:03:10 0:03:12
What is that? Do you really want to see me fail that badly?

0:03:14 0:03:18
What?! No! Hey, I didn't write this!

0:03:18 0:03:20
Right, that's it, rehearsal's over.

0:03:20 0:03:22
I can't work like this.

0:03:22 0:03:24
The Nameless One's gone from Dixi to IRL,

0:03:26 0:03:29
and Benedict seemed genuinely gutted.

0:03:29 0:03:32
Either he's a better actor than anyone in the play or...

0:03:32 0:03:34
we're after someone else.

0:03:34 0:03:36
But whoever it is, it proves that they're here in school with us.

0:03:36 0:03:39
Right now!

0:03:39 0:03:41
I think you're right, Lizard, but if it's not Benny, who is it?

0:03:43 0:03:47
Mimi was filming as well. Maybe she found a clue.

0:03:47 0:03:51
Look, I can't work like this.

0:03:51 0:03:53
-MIMI GASPS

-A trail of paint!

0:03:53 0:03:55
Looks like The Nameless One just painted themselves into a corner.

0:03:55 0:03:58
This could crack the whole case.

0:03:58 0:04:01
It's just like Hansel and Gretel...

0:04:01 0:04:03
who ended up nearly being eaten by a witch.

0:04:03 0:04:06
The craft room!

0:04:06 0:04:08
The Nameless One must be in here!

0:04:08 0:04:10
-ALL:

-Hi, Mimi.

0:04:12 0:04:13
Have you come to help us paint the set?

0:04:13 0:04:16
The visual impact is half of what we hear on stage.

0:04:16 0:04:18
So much for cracking the case.

0:04:21 0:04:23
I've just found conclusive evidence

0:04:23 0:04:26
that the Nameless One could be...

0:04:26 0:04:28
..anyone.

0:04:30 0:04:31
Me and Meems need to put our heads together.

0:04:32 0:04:35
Who'd want to bring the showcase down?

0:04:35 0:04:38
-Someone who's mean.

-Someone who has a motive

0:04:38 0:04:41
because they didn't get the lead in the play.

0:04:41 0:04:43
Someone who had the opportunity because she wasn't onstage

0:04:43 0:04:45
when we saw the graffiti.

0:04:45 0:04:47
Mean, motive and opportunity.

0:04:47 0:04:49
It all points to...

0:04:49 0:04:50
-Zoe!

-Exactly!

-No! Zoe!

0:04:50 0:04:53
-What?

-Nothing, it's just...

0:04:53 0:04:55
-Hello!

-Hello!

-Hi!

-Have you joined a cult?

0:04:55 0:04:59
No, we... No, we haven't, just being friendly.

0:04:59 0:05:02
We haven't really had a chance to get to know each other.

0:05:02 0:05:05
No, there were chances, I just chose not to take them.

0:05:05 0:05:08
Wow. It's going to be hard to get close enough to question her.

0:05:09 0:05:13
We couldn't even "hello" her.

0:05:13 0:05:15
It's OK. I've already got a plan.

0:05:15 0:05:17
It's time to fight fire with fire!

0:05:17 0:05:21
Maybe there's someone already in the organisation

0:05:21 0:05:24
who's as keen to be mean as Zoe is.

0:05:24 0:05:26
-No.

-Oh, go on, please!

0:05:28 0:05:30
-You speak her language!

-I doubt it.

0:05:30 0:05:32
She doesn't even understand what "I saw that dress first" means.

0:05:32 0:05:35
No, honestly, she's a lot like you...

0:05:35 0:05:38
in an opposite kind of way.

0:05:38 0:05:40
I don't have time for this.

0:05:40 0:05:41
I'm working on the code for Zappy Orcs. That's your cue to leave.

0:05:41 0:05:44
Remember they talked about cues in acting class?

0:05:44 0:05:48
It's such a shame. Because I really think Chloe and Zoe would get along.

0:05:48 0:05:51
They're like matter and antimatter,

0:05:51 0:05:53
they can't exist in the same universe.

0:05:53 0:05:55
-But now what?

-TEXT ALERT

0:05:55 0:05:57
Hold on. There's a message from The NO.

0:05:57 0:06:00
"You've looked on my works, but now I'm looking at you.

0:06:00 0:06:03
"Back away or you're going to pay."

0:06:03 0:06:06
I will not be happy if they start doing creepy rhymes.

0:06:06 0:06:09
There's a video attached.

0:06:09 0:06:11
OK, maybe she's in the media room.

0:06:12 0:06:14
OMD, that is so freaky.

0:06:18 0:06:21
They were right behind us the whole time!

0:06:21 0:06:23
OK, well, that means that they can't have gotten far,

0:06:23 0:06:25
so you go that way and I'll go this way.

0:06:25 0:06:27
Nameless One, we're coming for you.

0:06:27 0:06:29
The Nameless One was filming us only a few moments ago,

0:06:29 0:06:32
and we saw Zoe just before. It had to be her! Come on, Mimi!

0:06:32 0:06:36
You've dealt with a Chloe, you're not afraid of a Zoe.

0:06:36 0:06:38
Ugh, stop rhyming everything.

0:06:38 0:06:41
Oh! Hey, Mimi. Are you late for class?

0:06:41 0:06:44
-SHE GASPS

-Am I late for class?

0:06:44 0:06:46
No. I'm on the trail of The Nameless One.

0:06:46 0:06:49
-Have you seen Zoe?

-Yeah, she was in the rehearsal studio-o-ahh!

0:06:49 0:06:51
Whoa! Slow down!

0:06:51 0:06:54
OK, this is it. Here, you film.

0:06:54 0:06:57
I want you to record me telling her that just because I got

0:06:57 0:07:00
the lead role, that's no reason to be a troll.

0:07:00 0:07:03
Urgh! More poems.

0:07:03 0:07:04
-MIMI GASPS

-Mimi!

0:07:06 0:07:07
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

0:07:07 0:07:10
We were just practising lines. Sorry, I...

0:07:10 0:07:13
Ryan wanted to rehearse, so I offered to help.

0:07:13 0:07:16
The scene works a lot better when the actors have talent.

0:07:16 0:07:19
What is your problem with me?

0:07:19 0:07:22
I know you just ran in here after you filmed

0:07:22 0:07:24
that stalky video of me and Shari.

0:07:24 0:07:26
Eh, what video? Zoe's been with me for the last half hour.

0:07:26 0:07:29
Oh.

0:07:31 0:07:32
It doesn't matter.

0:07:33 0:07:36
Sorry, I've made a mistake.

0:07:36 0:07:37
Ohh...

0:07:40 0:07:41
Mimi, are you OK?

0:07:43 0:07:44
If Zoe was rehearsing with Ryan,

0:07:46 0:07:48
then she couldn't have filmed me and Shari. I was wrong about her.

0:07:48 0:07:52
It's obvious now I was wrong about Ryan liking me.

0:07:52 0:07:55
I was wrong about everything.

0:07:55 0:07:57
Poor Mimi!

0:08:00 0:08:01
Oh, typical, Chloe only cares about her game.

0:08:01 0:08:04
Oh, bet that means my brother is doing another one of his Orc Talks.

0:08:04 0:08:08
And we're live. Brethren of the interweb, sit down,

0:08:08 0:08:12
take off your warmongering boots of victory,

0:08:12 0:08:14
put down your battle-worn axes and get cosy with me, Syd,

0:08:14 0:08:18
for another instalment of...Orc Talk.

0:08:18 0:08:21
This week I'm joined by special guest Chloe, a first-time coder.

0:08:21 0:08:24
Slash model.

0:08:24 0:08:25
Chloe has just released Zappy Orcs,

0:08:25 0:08:27
which I gave an eight out of ten elf blades

0:08:27 0:08:29
for its intuitive gameplay and slick layout. Welcome, Chloe.

0:08:29 0:08:33
We've got some callers on the line with questions for you.

0:08:33 0:08:36
Hi, there. What's your name, and what's your question?

0:08:36 0:08:39
Hi, my name's Weevil. Chloe, I think your game is great.

0:08:39 0:08:43
It's the most fun I've had online since the Game Over Kid went viral.

0:08:43 0:08:46
High praise, cos that kid is a classic.

0:08:46 0:08:49
COUNTRY MUSIC PLAYS

0:08:49 0:08:51
-So, my question is, what do you like about gaming?

-Hi, Weevil.

0:08:54 0:08:58
Well, I like it cos I'm really good at it.

0:08:58 0:09:00
It's like school, which everyone knows is the ultimate strategy game.

0:09:00 0:09:04
And in school, as in orc craft,

0:09:04 0:09:06
I don't just survive, I rule.

0:09:06 0:09:09
I can confirm that. Thanks, Weevil.

0:09:09 0:09:12
Next caller. What's your name, and what's your question?

0:09:12 0:09:15
-DISGUISED VOICE:

-Hello.

-Yo.

-Hey, there.

0:09:15 0:09:17
-I think your game is pretty good.

-Thank you.

0:09:17 0:09:20
Yeah, it's pretty good...for a girl who has no idea about gaming.

0:09:20 0:09:23
-Hey, it's him!

-You! You stole my sacred stone.

0:09:23 0:09:27
Indeed, it is I, The Grim Griefer.

0:09:27 0:09:30
Didn't I say I was your nemesis?

0:09:30 0:09:32
I've come back with a question for you, Chloe.

0:09:32 0:09:35
Why is your game so pathetic?

0:09:35 0:09:37
The only reason you got a good review is cos

0:09:37 0:09:39
you're going out with him.

0:09:39 0:09:40
I... Are you questioning my Orc Talk integrity?!

0:09:40 0:09:43
I gave it eight out of ten blades because it was really good.

0:09:43 0:09:46
-Mmm.

-Have you even played it?

-Face it, Syd, girls can't game.

0:09:46 0:09:50
Chloe, for the good of humanity, never make a game again.

0:09:50 0:09:53
Go back to taking selfies.

0:09:53 0:09:55
The next time we meet in battle, you are so going to regret this.

0:09:55 0:09:58
What are you going to do? Selfie me to death?

0:09:58 0:10:01
Lady Acali is a joke.

0:10:01 0:10:03
Take that back. I am undefeated in my realm.

0:10:03 0:10:05
-You want to know what a real game looks like?

-Hm!

-I made one myself.

0:10:05 0:10:09
-He just sent me a link.

-I bet you can't make it past the first round.

0:10:09 0:10:13
We'll see about that.
