[INSTANT BARGAIN]Well, here it is, folks. The last Instant Bargain on NBC. I said at the top of the show that we were going to give NBC the bird. However, I think we're going to give you the bird instead. Marc, take a look at this. (the lights dim) ["PIPELINE"]Steve: (VO) That's right, Marc, we're giving you the bird: a crystal peacock. Created from the original work of Madeleine van der Knoop, the Tropical Peacock in crystal was realised by the ateliers of Daum, using the lost-wax technique. The crystal sculpts the light and reveals the extreme elegance of the peacock and its ocellated plumage. Magnificent shades of blue-green and violet, sublimated by its eyes in diamonds and amethysts, accentuate the beauty of this ornamental animal. The sculpture further impresses with its luminous beauty, its spectacular presence and its precious finishes. Each piece in this limited edition celebrates the exceptional know-how of the Daum crystal manufacturer and the talented artist Madeleine van der Knoop. Handmade in France. Only 8 of these will ever be made. It's so valuable that we are including $110,000 cash for insurance. This prize package, which is valued at $500,000....
will only cost you $10....
here on $ale of the Century.(audience cheers as the lights come back up) Greg: There it is, Marc. The most expensive Instant Bargain ever offered on the NBC Television Network, and quite fitting. It's a $390,000 crystal sculpture, plus $110,000 in cash. Could you use a bird like this?

It’s certainly unusual. Some people put cheap plastic flamingos in their yards, not valuable crystal peacocks…

I think this would be much safer in your home. In fact, this would look fantastic in your home, assuming it was well protected. Look, this is the most expensive Instant Bargain we've ever offered on the show, you have a $5 lead..... the best I can do, Marc, and I'm really sorry about this.... is to cut the price in half. $5. You'd be in a tie. $5 going once.... going twice....

I’ll level with you—I’m ahead by $5 in this game, but I’m $5 behind James overall. I have to try to pass him, so I’ll have to say no sale.

No sale! (audience lets out a loud "awwwwwwwwwwwwwww") [SALE SURPRISE](audience awws even louder) Well, of course we had a $ale Surprise, it's our last show on NBC. Take a look at what you passed up. (It's wheeled in) You could have watched shows on Peacock in super-brilliant 16K resolution with this whopping 146" monitor unit from Samsung. Steve: (VO) Yes, the Wall Professional delivers protection against everyday impact through special shock-resistant technology. Combined with exceptional energy efficiency and long MicroLED life, The Wall Professional provides long-lasting, reliable use. Perfect for businesses or home theatres, this technological wonder will be the star of any show for decades to come, furnished by B&H. And this Sale Surprise is worth…$580,000!!!(audience awws loudly) Greg: And for good measure, we would have also thrown in a 50-year subscription to Peacock Premium Plus, that was worth $5,994 not counting tax. Grand total of this $ale Surprise and prize package.... $1,085,994. A million and change, folks. (and the audience weeps all the way with him) But, fear not, folks, we're going to add it to the CashCard round! (audience cheers) Yes, it's going to be the ultimate temptation with... well, we'll tell you later. First, back to the questions. 1. In what Eagles song is the singer "standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona"? 2. New York's Wall Street was named when a wall was built there for what purpose? 3. Mean Joe Greene helped what team win four Super Bowls?(buzzcodes and answers, please)

[FAME GAME]Marc is now leading by $10, but if you remember from our last show, James won the first game by $10, so really Marc has no lead at all. Well, we're adding a $15 Money Card to the board. Looking for a famous THING.

I’ve won several cars on this show, but this one tops them all. I might need a bigger garage!

Yes, that's right. But wait, there's more. In CashCard, we're going to have a whole "Lot" of prizes. Plus, a Disney star makes his musical debut. Stay with us. In the meantime, here are the keys to your new car. Get inside! (I hand Marc the keys to his new car, he makes his way inside) Stay with us. ["In The Stone" continues](Marc gets inside his new car) Greg: (off-mic) Congratulations. That's quite a car. (the two chat a bit) (cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(Back in Greg's dressing room, Doctor Strange is meditating when he has a vision. All three closed eyes open.) Deadpool: Uh oh, all three eyes opened up.
Rocket: That can't be good.
Strange: That blasted fool, Agatha Harkness, has opened up a portal from the Underworld and unleashed Mangog.(this alarms Thor) Thor: By the gods! We must call all hands on deck.(Greg walks into his dressing room and notes all of Doctor Strange's eyes are open) Greg: (to Strange) Well, all your eyes are open. That can't be good. Strange: It isn't. Agatha Harkness has opened up a portal and unleashed Mangog.Greg: What's a Mangog? Thor: He is the judgement for those who cannot be judged by man. The Mangog is the ultimate judgement of all the gods.(As Thor narrates Mangog's history, we see new footage.) Thor: (VO, narrating) He is the physical manifestation and sum total of the hatred of a billion beings from a race that was slaughtered by my father, Odin. Over the eons, Mangog proved to be physically unstoppable, and is usually only defeated when his dependence on psychic energies -- such as hatred, fear, or feelings of devotion -- felt by other sentient beings to sustain itself is exploited. Without such a source, Mangog shrinks to near nothingness.(back to present, that pink-haired woman comes in) Pinkie Pie: So.... maybe we should defeat it with the power of love?(the group turns around and sees her) Rocket: And who are you?
Pinkie Pie: Pinkamena Diane Pie, you can call me Pinkie. I'm a friend of Steve's.
Strange: You mean Steve Anderson? (Pinkie nods) Greg: He's a bronie. Strange: Oh.
Rocket: You're suggesting we beat this goon with the power of love? You're suggesting the Avengers, the most powerful superhero team in the universe, fight with the power of love?!? What kind of bullshit are you spewing, lady?
Pinkie: It's not! It's not at all! You trash panda, you wouldn't understand at all. Yeah, I know people call me ditzy, hyperactive, and the comic relief. But weren't you listening to Thor? This monster is dependent on psychic energies. It thrives on negative emotions. You guys don't understand at all. You're used to villains that are incredibly bland and one dimensional, that can be described with one sentence. You've never had to go up against real threats like Darth Vader and the Joker.
Deadpool: You watch your mouth, this is a Marvel movie!
Pinkie: And another thing, your female characters are always dying or something.
Thor: The pink haired lady is correct.
Pinkie: And you guys aren't sincere enough. Peter Parker chuckling at Dr. Otto Octavius' name, or the Cloak stroking Doctor Strange's face when he first puts it on isn't just thrown in to get a laugh. They're self-aware cowardly misdirects to add ironic detachment to the comic book sincerity playing out on screen. There's a near-clockwork regularity with which Marvel undercuts itself with lame anti-climax that fans can almost call every time. They can't just let something occur, they can't just allow something to be silly, genuine, or heartfelt. Modern pop culture is so cynical and dull that the biggest multimedia empire on Earth can't let a heartbeat pass in a sad moment without desperately reaching for a bad joke to cut the tension.
Deadpool: You got that from a Gamerant article, didn't you?(Pinkie nods) Pinkie: I guess I'm going to have to break it down in a song.(song to be determined)
