*back to studio*









Welcome back to The New High Rollers.  So far, round 1 is almost done.  At this very moment, our champion Matt have cleared column 1 that contains an electric scooter, a smartphone from Amazon.com, and $2,000 cash.  Not only that, he also has an insurance marker.











And right now, we have two prizes left in columns 2 and 3.  Whoever rolls an 11, is gonna win the first game of the match with a possible chance of playing a side game, Duel of the Dice, with our co-host Greg Palmer.  If the both of you are ready, here comes the next question.

Suicidal bad roll... so that means Matt Ringgenberg is STILL our champion!


(win cue, cheers and applause)



























Congratulations on winning the game, Matt.  In a few seconds you'll be playing with our co-host Greg and then the Big Numbers.  Raymond, you were a good player.  Too bad that you didn't win a single prize, but we have parting gifts for you backstage.  Give it up for Raymond Weaver, everyone...


(cheers and applause)






And here to play our side game, here's Greg Palmer!


(cheers and applause)

[palmer7]

(I walk out to the main area)


Greg: All right. First off, congratulations to you, Matt. $4,449 in cash and prizes already today. That's quite impressive. However, I bet you're eager to win that golf cart. Well, here's how. In a moment, we'll bring out our special guest celebrity. You two will go head to head in a duel using these dice. The winner gets the golf cart. Now, let's bring out the celebrity. He's an Academy Award winning actor who starred in such films as Newsies, Pocahontas, and American Hustle. (some girls in the audience scream) Hold on to your hats, because you're about to face the Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale!



(music plays as Christian Bale walks out to many screams)







Welcome to High Rollers, Mr. Bale.



Christian: Well, thank you. It's great to be here. 




Greg: I believe this is your first time on American television, and your first time on a game show. Anything you'd like to say?



Christian: Yes. Please repeat after me. Exodus: Gods and Kings




Greg: Exodus: Gods and Kings.






Christian: Very good. You've just done a lot of advertising for me. 



(audience cheers) Greg: All right, all right. I'll admit I got played. Anyway, I understand that if you win this golf cart, you want to give the proceeds to charity.


Christian: That's right. My wife and I are on the Board of Trustees of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. That's a group committed to promoting continued research on the gorillas and their threatened ecosystems and to providing education about their relevance to the world in which we live. It's a great organization.



Greg: Yes it is. Oh, this is Matt, your challenger. He's done quite well on the show. Matt, this is Christian Bale.
