[LOCKOUT]
Brendan: $30
James: $35 [LOCKED OUT]
Kyle: $32
And James is locked out, maintaining a $3 lead. I don't think he'll have it for long. Who will take the lead? Find out after we do this business for America. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Greg: We're having a lot of fun here at Walt Disney World. Speaking of fun, Kyle won this last night, and with a little luck, Brendan might win it as well. Should he win with a score of $100 or more, that is. Steve, tell us about the car.

 [Car Plug]Yes indeed Greg, one of our grand prizes this week is this luxury car. The 2020 Ferrari Portofino allows drivers to soak up the sun and have fun chasing the horizon. With a body that looks seductive no matter if the retractable hardtop is up or down, this front-engine four-seater epitomizes the grand-touring ethos. Whether the twin-turbo V-8 is rocketing it around or emitting operatic sounds, this Italian-built speedster is a joy to drive and hear.
Furnished by Herb Chambers Ferrari.
With on-road costs and a ruby Ferrari keychain from Germani Jewelry, this vehicle showcase is priced at ...
Now back to Greg Palmer....and $ale of the Century!
(cheers and applause)
Greg: Thanks, Steve. Now, let's get back to the action. When last we left our daring trio...
Brendan: $30
James: $35 [LOCKED OUT]
Kyle: $32
Brendan had decided to lock the co-champion James out for the next five questions. That means it will be between Kyle and Brendan. Kyle leads in the match between the two by $2. James gets to play "monkey in the middle". Round 2, here are the questions.
1. What game was invented when Winnie-the-Pooh accidentally dropped a fir cone off a bridge?
2. What type of animal is a wahoo?
3. What country covers an entire continent?
4. What shape is produced by bees when constructing a honeycomb?
5. Visual question: The fish in the glasses seen here was voiced by what star of The Andy Griffith Show and Three's Company?

*" A Pirate's Life For Me" starts playing, Capt. Jack Sparrow has a sparring match with one of the models* 
 Can be yours tonight, on $ale of the Century for only... |

(I join the two) Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it there. Hold it. No sparring with my models! (to Jack) And who are you?
Jack Sparrow [Johnny Depp]: Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl, at your service. (he bows and takes off his hat, then returns it; some people off-camera in the audience scream "It's Johnny Depp!" then faint)
Greg: (to Jack) Some people have mistaken you for a very famous actor.
Jack: I get that a lot.
Greg: Now, why are you sparring with my models?
Jack: I thought they were going to take the treasure.
Greg: Well, this treasure is for the contestant. If they don't buy it, you can keep it. (Jack eagerly rubs his hands together) Brendan, we've got a lot of booty here, and I don't mean Shannon or Stacey.
Jack: Or mine. (Jack does a few hip thrusts, driving the girls crazy)
Greg: Control yourself, Captain. This is a family show. (to Brendan) So, what we have here is the chest and $1,000 in American dollar coins.
Jack: You know, the Pirate King was an American.
Greg: That's nice. I'm explaining this because Brendan here is an Australian.
Jack: An Australian? (he walks over to Brendan with a slightly drunken stagger) (to Greg) He doesn't look Australian to me. (to Brendan) Have you ever been up to Port Douglas?

No, but I prefer a little port myself.
(audience laughter/groaning)
Anyway... it'd be perfect for the books and stuff I keep buying for no reason.

Jack: You know... sometimes buying things for no reason is the best reason. I like you. Tell you what, let me, lemme look at the scores. (he stands back and looks at the score, then staggers back) You're ahead by three dollars. How about I drop the price to $8? You'd be behind by only a question.
Greg: Excellent idea, Captain. And to make it even better, I'll throw in another $1,500 in cash. $12,000 in cash and prizes for only $8, you'd be behind by a question.
Jack: Unless you've got a better offer, Brendan.

I think it's a bit too close at the moment though.

Tough choices... what to do...
I'll hold off for now.

Jack: Well, I tried.
Greg: No $ale it is. Jack, the treasure is yours.
(And Jack stumbles back to the chest and tries taking it away with him) Captain Jack Sparrow, everyone! (audience cheers)

I think Jack certainly deserved that treasure.

After all the stuff he had to go through, I agree. [BRAIN DRAIN]It's time for our Brain Drain question. A chance to pick up $25, and with it being such a close game, every dollar helps. Looking for a group of famous PEOPLE.
[$25][$15][$10][$5]
[*****************]
$25: We are a group of musicians originally from England, founded in 1979, and began touring with our most-associated namesake when we added a drummer and keyboardist to the band.(No need to send a buzzcode and answer, just "buzz in" by posting on the thread. Be careful, because you only get one crack at it. No money lost for a wrong answer, but you are out for the rest of the puzzle.) |
