$ale of the Century [NBC]: Episode 18 [NGC Debut/Redo]

[jmdarrall]

I don't think so, but I had a great time.

[palmer7]

(Are you sure?)


Well, good. You have that $1,635 setting, plus the $75 in front of you, and our thanks for playing. Jon Darrall, everyone. (cheers and applause)



Ian, I'm sorry things didn't work out for you. Did you get anything from the Gift Shops or Fame Games?

[palmer7]

Well, I guess we'll never know, but he does have the $55 in front of him plus all those parting gifts and our thanks for playing. Ian Laudato, everyone!


(cheers and applause)


But it's Evan Hatfield who wins the day and will now join me to do some shopping. Come on, Evan, let's go!


(1989-99 Let's Go Shopping cue plays as the doors open and Evan meets me inside the Shopping Area)
(cheers and applause)


And first off, we must say congratulations. You did very well in that last round. Now, do you recall buying any Instant Bargains or Fame Game prizes?

[Twentington]

Nothing I remember, but hey, I've got the cashcard!

[palmer7]

I know, and that counts for an awful lot. Evan, you add $90 to your bankroll, for a total of $235. That's more than enough to buy this prize.


(Paula picks up her fortune from this prize....)



Johnny: This is Zoltar, the classic animatronic fortune teller found in arcades, that stands 6 1/2' tall, and augurs a spoken and printed fortune for you. He was featured in the 1988 movie Big. Once you insert a quarter, Zoltar nods his head up and down as his crystal ball illuminates and he sweeps his hand back and forth. Zoltar provides 16 different spoken fortunes and dispenses one of 23 different printed fortunes in the form of a paper card; 2,000 fortune cards are included. The fortune is dispensed from the front of the cabinet. From Hammacher Schlemmer. This prize is normally priced at.....


$9,000


Johnny: But you can buy this for only $175 on $ale of the Century.


$175



(audience cheers)


Greg: And that is a very nice prize indeed. You can take that home if you'd like. Or, if you come back tomorrow night and win with an additional $25, you could be jetting off to Dubai!



(Galen, Shannon, and Kelly appear as sheikhs entertaining and dining with the biggest sheikh of them all, Maharajah Jim Perry)


Johnny: (VO) Get a taste of the Arabian Nights on your luxurious trip to Dubai! You and a guest will fly from Los Angeles to Atlanta, and then to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.



There, you'll spend 9 glorious nights in a Deluxe Suite at the Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa, a haven of calm within the diverse and dynamic metropolis of Dubai overlooking the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf.




While there, you'll take a unique cruise aboard a dhow, the traditional wooden vessel of Dubai, and see an intriguingly different view of this amazing city – a portrait of the true character of Dubai, the intertwining of traditional and modern. Plus, so you can really live it up, we're including Delta Sky Club passes and $5,000 spending money. From Delta Vacations and Le Royal Méridien Beach Resort & Spa. This trip is normally priced at....




(the gang chows down on shawarmas)

$15,353


But you can jet off for the low, low price of just....


$260

On $ale of the Century.


(audience cheers)


Greg: And that's a nice prize as well. Now, you were close to it tonight. If you win again with another $100, you'll get that electric car worth $36,000. For $445, you'll win that 18K yellow gold oval cut emerald ring with sidestones worth close to $40,000....





And there's the ring. But do you want to know what you'll get for $530?

[Twentington]

Is it a new car?

[palmer7]

Oh, it's not just any car, it's a Ferrari. Johnny?



[WHERE'S THE WALRUS?]









Johnny: (VO) The Porsche 911. A truly distinctive design, with technology that was born on the race track and emotional impact that has been standard since 1963. Nowhere is that more present than the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. No fewer than 90% of the components of the 911 are either new or have been fundamentally revised. Its 7-speed Manual Transmission puts the power in your hands. It comes with all the standard features you'd expect, and extras including i.c.w. Power Sport Seats, a BOSE® Audio Package, and more. You'll learn why there is no substitute for a Porsche. It's normally priced at....




$104,525


Johnny: (VO) Plus off-road costs. But you can drive it home on $ale of the Century for only....


$530


Johnny: (VO) From Porsche! And, befitting a champion, we'll add a Porsche keychain valued at $3,000 from Germani Jewelers of Australia.


(cheers and applause)

Greg: Yes, so that's worth $107,525 total. And I'll tell you, Evan, we'll be changing it at the start of next week. But that's still quite a few days away. For $640, you can get all the prizes on stage; and for $750, we'll add this to it!



(1982-99 Cash Jackpot cue plays as the sign is lowered)


Johnny: Tonight's cash jackpot stands at $335,000.


$335,000



(cheers and applause) Greg: Thank you, John. And finally, for $875; not only do you get all the prizes and the cash jackpot, but you get to meet our friend Mr. William Devane. And he's got some lovely gold and silver he'd like to tell you about. Don't you, Billy?





William: Don't ever call me that again.


Greg: Right. Tell us about the gold and silver, please.


William: Be glad to. Evan, for $875 you'll win not only the cash jackpot and all these prizes, but you'll also win half-a-million dollars in gold and silver from Rosland Capital. You'll get an entire collection of the finest gold and silver you can invest in.




Take this 100 troy ounce Royal Canadian Mint silver bar, for example.




And how about these South African Krugerrands, huh?




Greg: Say, how about those Kugerrands?

[Twentington]

...d***.

[palmer7]

Yes, indeed. However, that's quite a long way from where you are now. You have a dilemma, Evan. With $235, you can either take Zoltar and leave us; or you can come back and try to win with $25 or more to get that trip to Dubai. We'll give you some time to think about your decision.


(drumroll plays as Evan thinks about his decision)
(shot of Zoltar, followed by shot of the sheiks)
(fade to black)


------------------
















--------------------


(fade in)


Well, Evan. You've had a while to think about it. Are you going to take that $9,000 Zoltar home with you, along with everything else you've won? Or, are you going to come back tomorrow night and try to win with $25 or more for that trip? What is your decision?

[Twentington]

I'm coming back!

[palmer7]

Glad to hear it!
(horn fanfare plays as we ceremoniously shake on it)


Well, we're going to add another $5,000 to the cash jackpot, to make it $340,000. It's really getting up there. We'll see if Evan can win with just another $25 for that trip. Until then, stay tuned for Running Wild with Bear Grylls next on NBC. Until then, keep smiling, and bye for now!


(I give the Dick Clark salute)
