$ALE OF THE CENTURY [NBC]: Episode 56

[palmer7]

Well thank you, Frank.

It's Steven Anderson who takes the day and is now going to join me at the showroom. Come on, Steven, let's go shopping!


(cheers and applause)
(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(Steven makes his way to the doors as they open and we enter the showroom)


Well, you did it again. That was a rather close game, you won by only one question. Your thoughts, sir?

[asja2002]

This match could have gone any way. I'm lucky that James didnt pull any game $$ off the FG board

[palmer7]

Me, too. Now, Steven, you passed up on the Netflix package, and we don't have that anymore.... you know, I'm just going to lay it on you straight. Over the last 55 episodes and several years, we've had big winners on this show. And yet, nobody has legitimately won the Lot. And so, the creative minds at Grundy and NBC talked it over, and we decided there needed to be a change. So, starting tonight, we are introducing something that is rather exciting. May I have a drumroll, please?

(drumroll)

Ladies and gentlemen..... you've seen it on reruns of the show on Buzzr and GSN. You've seen it on YouTube, and now, you'll see it here! I give you..... THE WINNER'S BOARD!


(a turntable spins on the right side of the stage, revealing the Winner's Board)
[WIN CUE]
(cheers and applause)


[WINNER'S BOARD]

[   ][   ][   ]

[01][02][03][04][05]
[06][07][08][09][10]
[11][12][13][14][15]


Ah yes, they spent half a week working on this. Now, here's how it works. Instead of passing up a prize to come back, as long as you keep winning, you keep winning and winning, and winning! Every night, someone is going to win a big, big prize. Every night! (audience cheers) Now, Steven, what you do is quite simple. We have 15 spaces up there. We have five sets of matching prizes. One of those prizes is this.....


(Kelly takes a ride on this wooden bicycle.)





Burton: (VO) Unleash your urban spirit and have the most fun on two wheels in the city with this wooden bicycle. This luxury bicycle is made out of the finest ash and walnut wood. The frame has a five-year warranty, and all other components have a two-year warranty. From Materia Bikes. This prize is worth...


$5,280

(cheers and applause)

Greg: Now, since you did not win the game with $100 or more, we also have a $50,000 cash prize up there instead of the Alfa Romeos. We have two cards that say "WIN!". Whatever you pick after that is an automatic match. If you match those two "WIN!"s, you get a $10,000 cash bonus.... (audience cheers) and you get to pick again. Now, we also have a card that says "THE!", and another that says "LOT!" Listen carefully. If you can find "WIN!", "THE!", and "LOT!" in that exact order, you will win the Lot, which includes everything you see here, the cars, your Personal Cash Jackpot, and this!


(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


Burton: (VO) A cash bonus of one MILLION dollars!





(cheers and applause)


Greg: Now, Steven, you have won a game prior to this, and it was over $100. So, we do want you to have something for that. Therefore, we are giving you the wooden bicycle worth $5,280. (audience cheers) And, we're also going to put the Alfa Romeos up there. (audience cheers) Now, Steven, this is important. To win the cars, you must find the "WIN!" first, then "ALFA ROMEO". Of course, to win the Lot, you must find "WIN!", "THE!" and "LOT!" in that exact order. Good luck to you. Start with your first number.


(Actually, call out a few numbers, and I'll stop you if anything comes up.)

And you've won the Tantalum Pen! Burton?


(Business executive Alec Baldwin writes something important with this pen.)





Burton: (VO) Steven, the Tantalum Gravity fountain pen is especially created to honor your signatures for those very special moments in your life. The power and value of the Gravity will emphasize the importance of these moments. Made out of massive Tantalum with an 18 karat gold nib, the Gravity will be a highlight on your secretary desk. Furnished by JamesEdition. And this prize is worth....


$10,314



(audience cheers as we find Steven and me at the Ten-in-a-Row desk)



Greg: And that pen is yours. We'll get you a different pen, one without Alec Baldwin's fingerprints on it.


Alec: Hey, that doubles the value! (audience laughs)


Greg: Just to show we were being honest, where were The and Lot?



(Stacey touches the screens)

Greg: Well, so much for that. You've won the pen, congratulations. Now, you have a chance to add to your Personal Cash Jackpot. You know how this works.

I ask you 10 questions, you have three seconds to answer each one. Each right answer moves you up our money ladder. Get one wrong or pass, it's back to $0. Do you have any questions for me before we begin?

[asja2002]

Let's do it!

[palmer7]

Right! (The questions should now be in your inbox.)
