Would you please PM me some details about yourself just so I don't use elements from the real Billy Gardell's life? |

(fade in) (drumroll) (shot of John Lopez) Charlie Tuna: (VO) This is our returning champion, John Lopez of Titusville, Florida. Stand by to see John play for a diamond necklace, valued at $64,500!
[OPENING THEME]
Tonight, on America's biggest bargain sale, we're offering a trio of classic Porsches valued at $157,300 for $530!
All the prizes, plus a cash jackpot of $920,000 for $750!
Two of the incredible bargains on......
(echo)  And now, here's the star of our show..... Greg Palmer!(the doors open, and I run to my lectern to cheers and applause)Greg: Thank you, thank you. Thank you, Charlie. And thank you, everyone. (they keep cheering) Well, the joy buzzers in the seats worked. Everybody can sit down now. Thank you. I appreciate it. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to $ale of the Century, the show that dares ask the question, "After giving away $50,000 yesterday, what next?" Well, I don't know. Anyway, we have a small congregation gathered from the Birmingham Community Charter High School in Lake Balboa, California! (the high school students cheer) Would you look at that? Spontaneous applause. Didn't even have to turn on the applause sign. Let's welcome back a fine champion, a fine champion. John Lopez! (audience cheers as we get a shot of him) Hi, John. We've done the math so far, and you've won over $103,000 in cash and prizes that's totally not at risk. How is having all that money impacting your decision to continue, if any? |

As it probably should. I mean, either way, you're going home a huge winner. Now, as you know, you agreed to come back last night. You need to win with a score of $99 or more in order to have a chance at that beautiful necklace worth $64,500. So you're playing for a lot.
One other thing I'd like to mention today is that we're starting our $ale of the Century Play-At-Home Game. If you call 1-855-505-SALE, you can enter to win $10,000 in cash, a walk-on role or one of four other lovely prizes. Plus, you'll hear valuable third-party, fourth-party, and fifth-party offers!
1-855-505-SALE
That "fourth and fifth-party" bit isn't actually in the script, I just thought I'd add that in. Let me ask you, John, are you interested in fourth and fifth-party offers? More importantly, are you ready to play this game?

Eh, fair enough. Here to introduce the challengers is Stacey Wren! (Stacey comes out wearing a casual outfit to cheers and applause) Casual Friday? Stacey: Absolutely. I can't wait for this show to be over. Grant and I have another hot date.Greg: That's all I hear about you. Grant this, and Grant that. I've got a brother named Grant. Stacey: Really?Greg: He's 24, really devoted to his work, and does a lot of research with infectious diseases in mice. (Stacey squeals in horror) Stacey: Gross!Greg: Anyway, who are our challengers? (as Stacey introduces the contestants, the doors open and models escort them to their seats)Stacey: Well first, he's a newly-graduated student from Alaska, now unemployed in L.A. Here's Billy Gardell! And... oh, here comes an Aussie! He's a retail sales assistant at a hardware store. From Dubbo, New South Wales, say g'day to Cameron Shields! (audience cheers) Greg: All right, now. Thanks, Stace. Let's start off with Cameron. Cameron, welcome to our country. This is going to sound like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. What are the differences between hardware stores in Australia and hardware stores here? |

Um, the water runs the other way, I guess.
Although, to be fair, it's not just a hardware store. It's a WAREHOUSE. We sell practically everything, including paint, electrical supplies, outdoor furniture, plants, landscaping supplies and much more.
(IF that's not enough of a plug for you, I don't know what is....)

Oh, so it's just like The Home Depot. Fascinating. Anyway, I hosted $ale in Australia for about a year, most hectic recording schedule of my life. Recorded up in Melbourne, near where you live. But enough about that. So, how do you like our country, or what you've seen of it?

But this is a Tempur-Pedic. This is one of those wonder beds. It's fabulous. And... and John, just because it's the weekend, I feel obliged to drop the price in half. You can have it for $3. I'm practically giving away almost $4,500 in bed and pajamas for $3 and a song. Less than the value of a question. You'll never get that kind of bargain anywhere else.

$10 Money Card goes up as players compete for control of the Fame Game board. Looking for a famous person. I am an American born on September 18, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan; the son of a Seventh-day Adventist minister.

I attended Southwestern High School in Southwest Detroit where I excelled in JROTC and quickly rose in rank. When offered an appointment at West Point, I declined. I graduated from Yale University, where I majored in psychology, although that is not my field. was I was a professor of neurosurgery, oncology, plastic surgery, and pediatrics, and the director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital. At age 33, I became the youngest major division director in the hospital's history as director of pediatric neurosurgery.
