*Microphone feedback*
Nina West: Welcome to the Kitty Girl County Fourth Annual Spelling Bee. I'm your Spelling Bee Queen, Nina West. We're down to our final two contestants competing for the grand prize of a trip to Djibouti. And if you can spell that, you win!
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Mmhm!
Manila Luzon: Djibouti?
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: I'm not gonna try that one, mama.
Manila Luzon: Where is Djibouti?
Nina West: Okay then. Onto our final round. Contestant Number One: Vanessa Vanjie Mateo. Your word is "yaaas!"
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Yaaas. Y-A-A-A-A-A… A-S. Yaaas!
Nina West: Ugh, so close. It's actually spelled "Y-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-S." Ugh. That's seven A's and you only gave us six.
Manila Luzon: Oh, she can't spell.
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: So you brought me here to rig it up? This is rigged. Can we get a recount? I already know: rigged. Rigged. Rigged. Next word: rigged.
Nina West: Woah! Easy, girls! Really, Vanessa, calm down.
Manila Luzon: Girl, you just can't spell.
Nina West: Onto Contestant Number Two: Manila Luzon.
Manila Luzon: Hey!
Nina West: Your word is "kiki."
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Can y'all at least not make it this obvious that you're rigging it up? She gets "kiki," I get— Uh-uh, no. I know how y'all do me.
Manila Luzon: Girl! Girl, you can't spell "yaaas?"
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Kiki? I know Kiki; she's from Englewood. Kiki.
Manila Luzon: You can't spell "yaaas?" Come on, it's "yaaas." Okay, kiki. Um, could you use it in a sentence, please?
Nina West: Let's have a kiki. I wanna have a kiki.
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: I know my good girl, Kiki! How y'all gon' give that— Capital K-I—
Manila Luzon: Hey! Girl! Girl, it's my word! Sit down! Why don't you walk backwards, repeat your name three more times, and step to the back? Okay. *Clears throat* Kiki. K-I, um, C-K-A-I with an accent over it, E with the two dots, Y. Oh, I mean-I mean-and, and six A's. Kiki?
Nina West: Oh, I am so sorry. That is completely wrong.
Manila Luzon: Really? Is it?
Nina West: The correct spelling is K-I-K-I. Looks like I'm going to Djibouti! Thanks for playing, girls.
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Oh, so you give yourself the prize package. Wow, this is really something else!
Manila Luzon: Ugh, I can't-I can't believe this. I mean, at least we could have had two winners.
Vanessa Vanjie Mateo: Can we just get to the song?
