HIGH ROLLERS [NBC PRIMETIME]: Pilot/Episode 1

[palmer7]

Greg Palmer: Friends, what would ever make you think your kid wants to spend their birthday party at McDonald's? Ever since the Golden Arches ditched the clown, there is no reason to throw a party at McDonald's. Kids don't want a cake from a place that sells the BTS meal. You should not have to expose your children to rain-soaked mazes where toddlers have left their dirty diapers. Dare I say, a McDonald's birthday party is cheap and ghetto. No, your children want something better. And so, I am happy to announce that Universal Parks and Resorts is offering an additional $2,000,000 to continue our "No Clown" Fund. If you can't afford a good birthday party for your child, you may qualify to send yourself, your child, your immediate family, and up to 10 of your child's closest friends for a three-day, two-night birthday party at the Universal Orlando Resort, all expenses paid. And if your child or children happen to like McDonald's, then we will throw another party at the World's Largest Entertainment McDonald's & PlayPlace right here in Orlando. How do you qualify? You must be 18 years of age or older, with at least one toilet-trained child, and you must be a legal United States citizen. Special preference will be given to those living below the poverty line in the states surrounding and including Florida.

Dean: (VO) Now, here's Greg Palmer and the Big Numbers!

Greg: Thank you, Dean. I'm here with our champion, James Greek, who has won $74,057 in cash and prizes so far. And now, he's going to face the Big Numbers in just a few moments. James, here's how it works.

(soft, dramatic music based on the High Rollers 1987 theme plays in the background)

You are going to take these golden dice and attempt to knock out the nine Big Numbers which will be on the board. Since this is your first game, I'm going to give you $10,000 in cash for each number you knock off. However, should you clear all nine numbers, you will win $250,000! (audience cheers) However, be careful, because if you make a bad roll, the game is over. Now, to help you out, we'll give you a Liberty Mutual Insurance Marker each time you roll a double. That gives you a free roll should you make a bad one. Do you understand the rules?

[jman8606]

Yes sir!

[palmer7]

Then let's dim the lights and load in the Big Numbers!

You rolled a 4, there's only one way to take that out. Knock out the 4, please!
