[___FELINE____] [____WITH_____] [____MAGIC____]

[____BAG;_____] [____MOVIE____] [___BOMBED____]

[FELIX THE CAT]


Yes, it is Felix the Cat. Full puzzle reads: "Feline with magic bag; movie bombed". The film made a shade under 2 million dollars with a budget of 9 million. By the way, do you know who owns the film rights to that? Believe it or not... Disney. You see, they got New World Pictures when they bought 20th Century Fox.

Now, James, for the last two shows, you've hit the Major Wager. We now have a bet on whether you're going to hit it this week. I say you are. Tony, Glenn, Ed, what say ye? (Tony holds up a card that reads "Yes", Glenn's card says "No", Ed's card says "No".) Glenn and Ed say no, but Tone says yes. Always up for a bet, Tone is. Steve, what do you think? Will James hit the Major Wager this episode?

Stacey: I say no.

(Steve is thinking)

While Steve is thinking, Stacey, where is the $25 Money Card?

[palmer7]

(lights in motion)

Stacey: Behind number nine again.

Greg: Still the one. Steve?

Steve: I'm going to stay out of this one.

Greg: All right. Everybody ante up. (Everyone on the staff puts a $10 bill in a bowl) James, a lot of our money is riding on this one. All three Money Cards are up on the board. Good luck and fire when ready. (an unused letter from A-I, please)

[jman8606]

Big bucks! Big bucks! No whammies! no whammies! STOP!  (A)

[palmer7]

(he stops)

Greg: Well, he didn't get a Money Card. Steve, what did he get behind #2?

Steve: (VO) It's big bucks! $10,000!

(short horn fanfare)
(cheers and applause)

(and those who bet "no" eagerly split up the pot)

Steve: Glad I stayed out of this bet, folks

Greg: James won $10,000 in cash, and I'm out ten bucks. Well, let that be a lesson to you folks at home: Don't bet unless it's a sure thing. We'll have the exciting climax to our game, the Century Round, right after these messages, a word from your local NBC station, and a word from Steve Anderson.

["HYPER-GAMMA-SPACES"]

Steve: (VO) Feeling lucky, America? All this week, viewers at home will have a chance to share cash prizes totaling $5,000,000! That's $1,000,000 every single night to be shared amongst our winners. All it takes is a standard issue United States $5 bill. Every night, the score line of our three in-studio contestants, using the last two digits on each, determines the winning serial number. For instance: If the score line is

|$120|$ 80|$ 54|

     *      *       *  

  "2-0-8-0-5-4-X-X" 

Your $5 bill with the first 6 digits reading 2-0-8-0-5-4 is a potential winner. Every night $1,000,000 in cash and 10 trips to Walt Disney World in Florida are up for grabs. According to the U.S. government, there are over 2.8 billion $5 bills in circulation. Meaning tens of thousands of opportunities to find a match.

[WIN CUE]
(cheers and applause)
[RECAP MUSIC]

All right, let's see how everyone did tonight. Kyle, you picked up the Mandalorian package plus $468 cash, plus the cash in front of you for a two-night total of...

$299,622 in cash and prizes. Not bad for two nights of work, I'd say. Plus, we have some nice parting gifts for you, and we'll see you in the Tournament of Champions. Good luck with your studies, Doctor, and thank you for playing. Kyle Simmons, everyone! (cheers and applause)

And Brendan will be kicking himself all the way back to Australia because while you almost caught up with James, you didn't buy the chest. You do have the $90 in front of you plus all those parting gifts. Thank you for playing. Your last thoughts, sir?

[brendan85r]

I wouldn't really say "kicking myself"; it was a close game for a while but I enjoyed it 😄

[palmer7]

And we're glad you enjoyed it, too. Tell the folks back at Channel Nine we said hey. Brendan Richards, everyone. (audience cheers)

But now, before we go any further, let's get to the Home Viewer Contest. Everyone get your $5 bills out.

Now, for those of you playing at home, here's the magic number.

9-0-2-0-7-2. Now, if your $5 bill's serial number starts with 9-0-2-0-7-2, you have a chance at one of ten fabulous Walt Disney World vacations and a stake in tonight's $1,000,000 jackpot. So sign the perimeter of the note with the date of broadcast and your date of birth-- so that's your signature, date of broadcast and date of birth--- and send it to:

$ale of the Century
Lucky Bill Contest
190 Carondelet Plaza
Suite # 1300
St. Louis, MO 63105

Include your name, complete address, city, state, ZIP, telephone number, and e-mail address. We'll send you back a crisp, clean $5 bill and your share of our $1,000,000 jackpot. We'll also draw 10 bills at random out of those winners for a fantastic Walt Disney World vacation worth over $20,000. Each winning bill may be redeemed only once, and all winning bills must be received no later than 10 days from the date of broadcast. That's why we ask you to include the date of broadcast on the perimeter of the note. Steve will have more information at the end of the show, and we'll also give you the winning bill again.

James, now that you have the title again, are you ready to continue your journey towards a fortune in cash and prizes?

[jman8606]

*Austin Powers voice* yeah baby!

[palmer7]

Then let's go shopping!


(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(cheers and applause as James joins me, the doors open, and we move to the Winner's Board; with me on the left side and James on the right)

NBC and Grundy brass get anxious if you stand over beside me, James. That's why we're at least six feet apart. Again, another great game. You came from behind and won. Your thoughts, sir?

[jman8606]

Whew! I guess Orlando is my lucky town. This town has been good to me. I have always loved Orlando. I guess it is loving me back.

[palmer7]

I guess it is. Now, you've heard about some of the prizes we have on offer this week. You've already won the car and the zero-coupon bond, so we will take off the Mickey Mouse gold statue since that is the lowest-valued prize on the board.

We have the boat worth over $52,000.....

$20,004 in Disney stock which may have gone up since September 2020....


But the prize I'm really excited about is that trip around the world. Steve, tell us about it, please.

[palmer7]

[TRIP CUE]

Steve: (VO) This around the world travel showcase is a dream come true. You and four guests will have all of the Disney Vacation Club destinations at your service. You might choose to "Be Our Guest" at Disneyland Hotel in California, enjoying a Superior Room with Terrace View, a Full-Board Premium option including: Disney PhotoPass+, access to all parks and character meet and greets, extended park hours and more.

Your vacation starts in Orlando and makes stops in California, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Shanghai.

And you will fly to your fantasy world via Delta Airlines, you'll enjoy our crown room lounge before boarding and experience warm and friendly hospitality while in flight, from Delta Air Lines, the official Airline of Walt Disney World. Included in this prize is $30,000 in spending cash during your vacation, making the total value of this prize... $125,000!


(cheers and applause)

Greg: And let's not forget the most important thing. It's happened two or three times before. Should you find "WIN!", "THE!", "LOT!" in that specific order, you'll win everything you see on stage, minus the car, but plus the $50,000 in cash we've hidden up here, and the Cash Jackpot. And here it is!
