I know it's a tight game. But a history fan like me WON'T say "No" to that deal, so I'll take it. (Hits buzzer)

He's going to buy! (audience cheers) Frank: $30 Kyle: $30 Brendan: $25
We take the $10 off your score, to give you $25... [$ALE SURPRISE](audience cheers) That sound means it's a $ale Surprise. Something a little extra for you, Brendan. Stacey said we turn to two people for advice. One of them is Monty Hall. The other is our own Tony Barber. We've got a book here by him... (I pull it out from my lectern and show it to the audience) It's called Who Am I?. We're going to give a copy of this to everyone in the audience! (audience cheers) But your copy is rather special, Brendan, because as a bookmark, we have a check for $6,000 in cash! (audience cheers) And not only that, Brendan, but we have another book for you! (I put the Barber book away and bring out the other one) It's The Sleeper Awakes: A Journey to Self-Awareness by the original host of the show, the late Jim Perry. In it, Jim discusses his struggle to find self-worth during a dark time in his life after retiring from the TV spotlight and dealing with the breakup of his marriage of thirty years. Thankfully, I think he and June got back together. Anyway, everybody in the audience is getting a copy of the book. But again, Brendan, your copy is special. Right here at Page 77, there's a bookmark. It's actually a check for $4,000! (audience cheers) So, you have three books and a total of $15,000 in cash! What do you think of that?

Well, gee. How do you like that? If we knew the books alone would've made you happy, we wouldn't have bothered with the checks. (audience laughs)
Frank: $30 Kyle: $30 Brendan: $25
Anyway, you do trail by just one question, $5. But that money can easily be made up. Here are some more questions.
1. Brahman, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras are the four levels of what Indian system? 2. What name is given to the closest star to the Earth? 3. Grenadine provides the red color in what cocktail that shares its name with a 1988 romantic crime film starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell?
(buzzcodes and answers, please)

(ding)That is right! Full clue read: "Yellow, electric rodent: Pokémon's long-time mascot". It is Pikachu. You know, back in middle and high school, I pretended I was Pikachu. (audience laughs) It's funny because it's true. Stacey, where's the $15 Money Card?

Now, now Brendan. What kind of show do you think this is? (audience laughs) Do I look like I want people to suffer? (audience laughs) Of course not. If I wanted you to suffer, I'd send you across the country and make you work in Gordon Ramsey's restaurant. (audience laughs) What's behind B? (Stacey "swipes" B) [A] [DECISION] [$10,000]
Stacey: $10,000! Congratulations!(fanfare)(audience cheers) Wow. Brendan, you're taking all our stuff. Congratulations to you, that money is yours regardless of how well you do in the game. Let's just swipe the other one for the benefit of Fox Standards and Practices, please. [$100] [DECISION] [$10,000]
There was the $100. Speaking of Pikachu, why does he like ketchup so much? Well, the ingredients in ketchup provide a lot of benefits to an electric mouse. There's sugar, which is is a source of energy. Vinegar is good for the immune system and the heart. And finally, lycopene in tomatoes helps to reduce cancer and is a big boost to heart health. We'll be right back. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Welcome back to $ale. Frank: $30 Kyle: $25 Brendan: $25
Frank is in the lead with $30. Kyle and Brendan are tied at $25, but Brendan is taking us to the cleaners. He won $10,000 with Decision, $15,000 with the Instant Bargain, over nine-grand with the Century Vault. I'm sure he'd like to go all the way to the end. Here are the questions. 1. Barn, Burrowing, and Great Horned are species of what bird? 2. What can a lycanthrope do? 3. Who signed off his radio show by saying "Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars"? 4. What color is always at the top of a single rainbow? 5. Give me the next line of this Bruce Springsteen hit.No, we couldn't afford to fly in Bruce. You'll just have to settle for the recording. The times are tough now, just getting tougher This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher Cover me, Come on baby, cover me Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Promise me baby you won't let them find us Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us Cover me, Shut the door and cover me Well I'm looking for a lover who will come on in and cover me
Outside's the rain, the driving snow (buzzcodes and answers, please)
