Not sure on Park Inn... Holiday Inn?

ME: No, it's actually Park Inn by RADISSON. That was the toughie, though. Kourtney and Lenny each get $75 (Applause...CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG!), and everyone gets to take a quick break. Let's check in on the scores at the end of Round One.
(Theme restarts)
KEVIN: $475
KOURTNEY: $400
LENNY: $625
ME: As you can see, a gap of only $225 between first and third. That can easily be overcome in Round Two, where we'll double the stakes and race for positioning in the Countdown Round! That's all after the break, but before we go, here's a play-at-home question for you viewers.
Earlier, we learned that the Moon's surface has several seas. One of those seas was the site of the Apollo 11 lunar landing and was one of the first words said on the Moon. Which sea are we talking about?
ME: We'll find out the answer and play Round Two after this!

(Theme plays as the camera shows me chatting with the contestants)
BRIAN: Welcome back! Did you know the answer to our home viewer question? What "sea" on the Moon was the site of the Apollo 11 landing? The Sea of Tranquility! As in, "Houston, Tranquility base here. The Eagle has landed."
(Art card as Brian does this promo)
BRIAN: Questions on "Split Second" are verified by the 2017 World Book Encyclopedia, featuring over 14,000 pages with over 1,000 new or revised articles, 25,000 illustrations, and QR codes for downloadable content. As always, easy to use, easy to read, and easy to understand, the World Book Encyclopedia is the perfect reference for young and old. Back to you, Jon!
(Shot of me back at my podium)
ME: Thanks, Brian! We have a tight game going between three new challengers. This is the part of the game where we double the stakes, so things are going to get a bit more interesting. In this round, you'll earn $100 each if all three of you are right, $150 each for two correct answers, and $300 if you give a correct answer on your own. You've got a chance to pile up a lot of money, because all the money you earn is yours no matter what. More importantly, though, you're jockeying for position in the Countdown Round, which will determine who goes on to play for a beautiful new Toyota (Applause).
ME: With that in mind, let's resume with a question on FILMS.
When it comes to film roles, you can't get much higher than The Man Upstairs. I'll name three films in which God is a central character. Pick one, and identify the performer who played God in that film. Look at the screen.
A. "Oh, God!"
B. "Bruce Almighty"
C. "The Shack"
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, Kourtney.
ME: Kevin?

ME: All three right for $100 (Applause). I also would've accepted GRAHAM GREENE, as he had a brief part as another appearance of God. Next category is SCIENCE.
Time to see how well you recall basic geology. I'll describe the three types of rock that make up Earth's surface. Pick one and name the type. Look at the screen.
A. Formed by the cooling of volcanic lava.
B. Formed by changes caused by excess heat and pressure.
C. Formed by deposits of material in bodies of water.
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, Kourtney.
ME: Same order as last time. Take it, Kevin.

ME: That's right, and I also would have taken MAGMATIC. Kourtney, what about the ones that change due to heat and pressure?

(BUZZ!)
ME: Oooh, I thought the word "changes" would have led you to METAMORPHIC ROCK. In any event, Kevin and Lenny score this time (Applause). Let's check the scores.
KEVIN: $725
KOURTNEY: $500
LENNY: $875
ME: As you can see, Lenny is still in the lead, Kevin is picking up the pace a little, and Kourtney has some catching up to do. Let's see how we do with LANGUAGES.
I want to send you some positive vibes, so I'll show you three foreign languages; pick one and say the word "Yes" in that language. Look at the screen.
A. Japanese
B. Portuguese
C. German
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Lenny, Kevin, Kourtney.
ME: Lenny, you're first.

The Japanese word for yes is "hai".

Post by koopakid17 on Mar 9, 2017 14:07:53 GMT -5
In German, it's "Ja".

Post by jmdarrall on Mar 9, 2017 15:21:34 GMT -5
ME: "Ja" or "Ja Vol" is right. Kourtney, what about Portuguese?

Si?

Post by jmdarrall on Mar 9, 2017 21:04:46 GMT -5
ME: Oooh, very close. It's actually "SIM" (pronounced like the word "seem"). Kevin and Lenny score $150 again (Applause). Let's move on to WORLD GEOGRAPHY.
The world's population is growing by leaps and bounds, and nowhere is this more evident than in the world's largest cities. I'll name three world cities with populations of over 10 million. Pick one, and name its country. Look at the screen.
A. Sao Paulo
B. Karachi
C. Jakarta
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, Kourtney.
ME: Kevin?
