[HUEY, DEWEY, AND LOUIE]
(ding)(audience cheers) That's right. It is Huey, Dewey, and Louie, formerly of DuckTales, Quack Pack, and the new-er DuckTales. I think those last three clues helped you out. Stacey ( asja2002), where's the $25 Money Card?

James, in a minute, you're going to the Winners' Board for a chance at half a million dollars. Congratulations to you. But first, let's talk to your challengers.
Frank, it's happened many times before. People have been in a distant third and then stormed ahead to win the whole thing. There's plenty of score money to be made tomorrow night, so don't give up yet. You did get
Marc, you were neck and neck with James, and you're only $10 behind. Tonight, you picked up an arcade suite worth almost $26,000 and you're $10 behind, so you have a good chance of catching up with James.
Do either one of you wish to say anything before James plays for the big money?
