  discover that there's a second bus company with more comfortable seats, and whose bus arrives at the same time.
  All eight teams scramble over to the second counter and an eight-way argument breaks out over whether the original line order should be maintained, or whether standing order at the new window counts.
  's Mirna tries to overpower Christie with her lawyerly arguing skills, asking her, "Have you ever done anyone in your life a favour?"
