[__REUSABLE___] [___WRITING___] [__SURFACE,___]
[___USES______] [___CALCIUM___] [__COMPOUNDS__]
[CHALKBOARD]
(ding)You are correct. (audience cheers) The full clue reads "Reusable writing surface, uses calcium compounds". Calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate, to be exact. Jane, where's the $15 Money Card? |

(he stops)Stone: He misses and goes to #3. What's behind that, Steve Anderson? (#3 digitally "flips" around to reveal...) Steve: (VO) Decision!Stone: James, you have a Decision to make. You can either take a guaranteed $5,000 in cash or pick either A or B. One of them hides $500, while the other hides $15,000. What will you do? (audience shouts suggestions)

(audience cheers)
Stone: James has decided to take the money. Oh, something just popped up on the screen again.... "But just because we are the Huntley/Brinkley type of folks who believe your right to know outweighs your right to exist......" --- Who writes this stuff? --- "Had you said no to the $5000, what would your decision have been?"

Stone: You would have lost $4,500. You made the right decision. (audience cheers) Well, no Money Cards hit just yet, but someone here or at home could pick up a lot of money. The $25,000 CashCard round is next. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to cut scene)
(Iron Greg flies down to New Orleans, where he meets Sarah Wilson [Adepero Oduye]. She's a bit startled to see Iron Man.) Sarah: Tony Stark?(Greg lands and powers down, retracting his armor back into his bracelet.) Greg: Greg Palmer. I guess I'm the new Iron Man. A little birdie told me you were having trouble with your fishing business. Is that right? Sarah: Yes, but...Greg: You don't need to explain anything. (Greg takes out his checkbook and signs the bottom of the check, handing it to Sarah) This is a blank check. Take however much money you need. The Blip has affected us all. Sarah: A blank check? Uh... I....Greg: You're welcome. Avengers stick together. (Greg armors up, then flies away) (fade to commercial)
(fade in to find Greg at the Comcast Building) Greg: Hi, this is Greg again. No, this is not an official episode of Dateline. We hope you're enjoying our early April Fools' show. However, I am actually going to be anchoring tomorrow night's Nightly News and Dateline. Don't worry, I'll make it back in time to host again. In the meantime, it looks like women's lib has won down in Florida. Let's watch.
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)(we now find Jane at the lectern) Jane: Thank you. Thank you very much, and welcome back to this Dateline special. I will be asking the questions for this next round, and Stone will be assisting me.
Nicholas: $65
Frank: $25
James: $45
Nicholas has a $20 lead over James, the champion, but anything is possible in the CashCard Round. Let's resume the game. 1. In which continent would you find the Congo River?
2. In 1947, US telephone companies began using what?
3. What US state has been led by Zell Miller and Alexander Stephens?
4. What color hair does the "Mona Lisa" have?
5. Give me the next line of this Top 5 song that describes mass media sensationalism.Here to assist with this musical clue is Grammy-winner Don Henley! (Don Henley and the band start up the song) Don:
I make my livin' off the evenin' news
Just give me somethin', somethin' I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda' been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up

First, let's thank Don Henley! (audience cheers as Don and his band bow) [CASHCARD]And Nicholas, you have a very costly decision to make. As you know, this is the CashCard round, and we have four suits. Each one offers a different outcome. One gives you the opportunity to play for the Car at the Winners' Board should you win the game. Another gives you $15 back to your score. One of them allows you to take $5 from another's score and add it to your own. And a fourth gives you the CashCard jackpot of $25,000. It will cost you the amount of your lead, precisely $35, to play. Would you like to play? |
