$ALE IN IMAX [NBC]: Episode 62 [TOC2 Heat 2]

[patpun2016]

I'd say, Why naut? *hits buzzer*

Queen o' Heart, please.

[palmer7]

He's going to play! (cheers and applause)



Patseen: $35
Kevin: $20
James: $44



And he'll be playing Hearts. (Stacey selects the Heart icon)

Stacey: All the best, Patseen.


Greg: Well, three of the spaces will give you the lead and one will give you perhaps enough cash to not even care. Good luck. For $25,000.... what's under Hearts?


(Stacey presses a button, and the reels spin)

(audience cheers) Well now, Take $10. Patseen, you get to take $10 off somebody's score and add it to your own. Now, there are two ways you can play this. If you take $10 off Kevin, you'll have a $1 lead, but if Kevin goes down to $0, Garagiola's Rule kicks in and everybody gets another $20. If you take it off James' score, you'll have an $11 lead. So, do you play the long or short game? Who gets $10 taken from them? (audience shouts suggestions)

[patpun2016]

I'll take ten from James.

[palmer7]

OK. We knock $10 off James, and we give it to Patseen.


Patseen: $45
Kevin: $20
James: $34


Going for the instant grat. I bet you didn't know there was so much strategy involved on this show. Kevin over here is breathing a sigh of relief because he doesn't have to worry about going to $0. Back to the questions.


1. In which US state is Shenandoah National Park located?
2. The Acol system is used in which card game?
3. Which planet is named for the Roman God who was the son of Juno and Jupiter?

(buzzcodes and answers, please)

[palmer7]

1. In which US state is Shenandoah National Park located?
(buzzcode: 61)
*James buzzes in (68)*
James?
James: Virginia
That's exactly right, and you go to $39.
(ding)


Patseen: $45
Kevin: $20
James: $39


2. The Acol system is used in which card game?
(buzzcode: 60)
*Kevin buzzes in (80)*
Kevin?
Kevin: Magic: the Gathering
(wrong)
Why haven't they turned that into an anime yet? Oh well, the right answer was bridge. It was named after the Acol Bridge Club, previously located on Acol Road in London NW6. You drop to $15.


Patseen: $45
Kevin: $15
James: $39


3. Which planet is named for the Roman God who was the son of Juno and Jupiter?
(buzzcode: 95)
*Kevin buzzes in (66)*
Kevin?
Kevin: Venus
(wrong)
Mars. Mars, Kevin. You go down to $10.


Patseen: $45
Kevin: $10
James: $39



Now, Patseen, if you'd taken $10 off Kevin's score, he'd be down to zero and then you would've gotten another $20. Should've gone for the long game.

[FAME GAME]

Well, once we determine who has control, we'll have all three Money Cards up on the board. We're looking this time for a famous person.

(whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)

Yes, that's right. Sam Smith, the guy who won Record of the Year and Song of the Year by copying Tom Petty. Believe it or not, "Writing's on the Wall" did win the 2015 Academy Award for Best Song.

Stacey, where's the $25?

[tmann3x]

Stacey:  It's behind number 3.

[palmer7]

(lights in motion)

Greg: James, if you hit any of those Money Cards, you regain the lead. The bigger the card, the better. Good luck and fire when ready! (an unused letter from A-I, please)

[Deleted]

Come on big money card! (A)

[tmann3x]

[palmer7]

(he stops)

Well, he doesn't get a Money Card. But he does get something. What is it this time, Burton?

["IMAX Experience"]

["I Won't Back Down (Acoustic Piano)"
Written by Tom Petty & Jeff Lynne
Produced by Jimmy Napes & Sam Smith
Performed by Sam Smith
Piano Performed by John Tesh]


In another studio on the Fox lot, we find Sam Smith approach a piano. He sits down and begins to play. He can't play a note. However, John Tesh walks in and takes his spot. Sam gets up and leans against the piano as John plays. Sam may sing like an angel, but does he do Tom Petty justice? You decide.

Sam:
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
And I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down

John plays the instrumental middle eight with great precision on the piano.

Sam:

Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I won't back down
Hey baby there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
No, I won't back down

When John finishes playing the last chord on the piano, he stands up, and bows alongside Sam. Fade to black.

(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)

Greg: Welcome back, we're down to the home stretch. We finish up the game with the Speed Round. May I have 10 questions, please?



Patseen: $45
Kevin: $10
James: $39

[10]


(ding)

The scores, Kevin at $10, James at $39, and Patseen at $45. Kevin, each answer is worth $10, plus or minus. So, if you should answer incorrectly and go to $0, Garagiola's Rule still applies and everyone gets another $20, including you. Therefore, it is possible for someone to win the game without even buzzing in. But of course, you knew that. Now, audience, I need complete silence from you. These people are possibly playing for a car and a chance at a lot of money. Good luck to everyone, as we begin the Speed Round.... NOW!

FINALIST


[WIN CUE]
[BGM MUSIC]


Patseen, it wasn't enough for the car, but you pulled it out. Well done, we'll return to you in a moment.

[palmer7]

Well, I'm happy to report that everybody won something this time 'round. James, you got yourself a bedroom set, two TVs, a Tempur-Pedic Mattress, and $6,059 in cash. That gives you a new total of....

$38,828 in cash and prizes and our thanks for playing. James Greek, everyone! (audience cheers)


Well, Kevin, you were in a rough spot for most of the game, but that's how it goes. We do give you that trip to Hawaii plus $5,020 in cash. That means you're leaving us with....

$23,067 in cash and prizes. Good luck to you back in New Jersey. Kevin Kolsen! (audience cheers)


Would either of you like to say anything before you go?

[Deleted]

I am glad I came out with two TVs!

[palmer7]

Me too. Now, Patseen, you didn't win the car, but I will tell you what you have won. You're going to the Olympics! Burton?

["Olympic Fanfare and Theme" by John Williams]

Burton: (VO) Congratulations, Patseen. You're going to PyeongChang, South Korea to see the 2018 Olympic Games! You and a guest will enjoy for 6 days and five nights of action. You'll be a guest at the Ramada Gangwon Sokcho. Situated near the beach in Sokcho, the newly opened Ramada Gangwon Sokcho is close to Daepo Port, Seorak Sunrise Park and Dongmyeong Port. Local attractions also include Sokcho Expo Tower and Sokcho Expo Park. Breakfast conveniently offered daily at your package hotel with lunch and/or dinner also provided on select dates. You'll also get a pair of single entry passes to enjoy exquisite food, beverage and entertainment at CoSport's hospitality center located in the Coastal Cluster. Plus, enjoy excursions into the area plus tickets to several gold medal finals plus the breathtaking closing ceremony. Furnished by CoSport.

Plus, we're including money for gratuities, airfare, and incidentals. In addition, you'll get a chance to join NBC's Mike Tirico for a special interview on live television. This prize package is worth...

(cheers and applause)

Greg: What a fantastic prize package. You'll have a great time at the Olympics, and Stacey, Burton and I will take time off to be there as well. But now, Patseen, you have a chance to earn some more at 10-in-a-Row. Let's go!

(Let's Go Shopping! cue)
(cheers and applause as Patseen shakes his opponents' hands and joins me by the showroom)
(the doors open and we walk inside)


Well done, Patseen, well done. You didn't get the car, but you are going to the Olympics. Your thoughts, sir?

[patpun2016]

Oh, wow awesome! I haven't been to Winter Olympics, this is going to be cool!

[patpun2016]

And... If I took $10 from Kevin, that would be enough for the car, right?

[palmer7]

Oh ho... so now he wants to take $10 from Kevin. I'm sorry, the game's over. We'll never know what would've happened. But still, it's probably just as well. If you win the tournament, you'll get this car, and it's much nicer, too!

[WHERE'S THE WALRUS V1]

Burton: (VO) An icon cannot be reinvented, it can only be challenged. Lamborghini’s most iconic model now reaps the inheritance of the historic S models and evolves into the new 2017 Aventador S Coupé. Exclusive Lamborghini design and the new V12 engine with a whopping 740 HP now join the most sophisticated technology of the range, featuring the new Lamborghini Active Vehicle Dynamics, which offers an unparalleled driving experience to all those who honor their egos by challenging themselves every day. It comes with all the standard features and is loaded with options. Furnished by Los Gatos Luxury Cars!

And befitting both a champion and vehicle of this caliber, we're also including an 18-carat gold, diamond-studded key ring valued at $2,500 from Germani Jewelry and $ale of the Century. Altogether, this prize package is worth....

(cheers and applause)


Greg: Over $505,000, Patseen! And not only that, but so you can pay the taxes on that car, this!


(cash jackpot fanfare as the sign lowers)


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

(cheers and applause)


Greg: So all in all, that's a total of $1,505,705 in cash and prizes you could end up winning Friday night. But wait, there's more! We'll also give you the opportunity to play another all-or-nothing game of 10-in-a-Row for *another* million dollars! (audience cheers loudly) So that's $2.5 million in cash and prizes you could win in the next few nights. However, Patseen, how'd you like to win another $50,000?

[patpun2016]

That'd be Grrreat!

[palmer7]

Fantastic! Right this way!


(we walk over to the 10-in-a-Row area, I open up my laptop)


OK, Patseen, here's how it works. I will ask you 10 questions. All you have to do is give me as many correct answers as you can within 60 seconds. Each correct answer adds money directly to your already-stuffed pockets...

Patseen: Yes.

Greg: Good. Dim the lights, please. (the lights dim) Audience, as always, we need your complete silence during this round. Patseen is going for a lot of money. Good luck to you. We begin your 10-in-a-Row..... now!
