Burton: (VO) You better believe it, it's FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in CASH!(the audience is ecstatic and on their feet) ["Mardi Gras" by Henrik Nielsen](Steven's friends, family, etc. swarm the stage, on their own volition, and surround Steven, congratulating him all the way.) Greg: And it looks like Steven brought the town of Plymouth with him! Steven, what is going through your mind right now, and who are all these people?

(A giant TV screen turns on to static, which fades to reveal on the screen....) TV SCENES WE'D LIKE TO SEE (We change the channel to reveal the exterior of a high rise building. As a Columbo theme by Steve Dorff plays, we see these titles.) MARK RUFFALO AS:
COLUMBO
COLUMBO GETS HIS?
Special Guest Star: ALEC BALDWIN
(We quickly fade to the end. Lt. Columbo is about to nab hotshot attorney and art critic Miles Standish for shooting someone. The two confront each other, if you can call it that. Some dialogue, most notably Columbo's first lines, are borrowed from "Playback", written by David P. Lewis & Booker T. Bradshaw.) Lt. Columbo: This is what you presented at the art show the night of the murder. The problem is it was on the desk immediately after the shooting. How did it get to the art gallery? By your own testimony you took it there. But in order to get it off the desk you practically had to step over the body. That woman was shot BEFORE you left the house... and you shot her. (Miles sneers) Miles: Oh yeah? So what? Doesn't mean you're going to get a valid testimony out of me. I've studied the law, Lieutenant. All you've done since this investigation started was tail me. You've badgered, harassed, and tricked me just so you could get your precious testimony. You know, it's cops like you that make me sick. Columbo: (confused) Sick, sir? I'm sorry to hear that. I'd like to disagree with you... Miles: Oh sure, sure, disagree with me all you want. It still doesn't justify your harassment. Do you realize you're breaching civil and ethical protections against police abuse? Columbo: Abuse? Hmm.... that's a new one, sir. Very good, very good. I hadn't thought of that. (Miles slams his hands on the table, clearly exasperated with Columbo's antics) Miles: Cut the crap. The law is not made to presume that the police are always right, but to protect the citizen's presumption of innocence. I mean, look at people wrongly convicted of crimes, often due at least in part to overzealous police, like you, and prosecutors.... Columbo: Like you? Miles: What do you mean!? Columbo: Oh, it's perfectly logical, sir, if, uh, you don't mind me saying so. You're accusing me of being overzealous when in fact, that's how you make your living. As a prosecutor, you've pulled a lot of underhanded tricks to get a conviction. I mean, if you don't mind me saying so, you've got quite a reputation on your hands. I mean, I hear it all through my precinct, I'm just saying. Some of the boys at the station call you opportunistic, unlikeable, um....... uh, sir? Miles: (through clenched teeth) ......Yes? Columbo: What's a Social Darwinist? (Miles lets out a primal scream and throws an antique Chinese vase on a nearby desk at Columbo, aiming for his head. Of course, Columbo misses and it ends up getting smashed against the wall.) Columbo: (still trying to be helpful) Sir, have you considered anger management classes? I think it would do you a lotta good. Miles: THAT DOES IT! (he now tries to maintain control) I will be marching down to the Los Angeles Police Department and I will serve them a summons! I plan on suing you and your supervisors, and I plan on doing everything in my power to make sure every successful case you were ever part in will be reversed and overturned. (He starts to storm out of his office and towards the elevator. Columbo follows him as Miles presses the "down" button.) And once I'm finished, you will never work in this town again. Now, if I were you, I'd be cleaning out my desk. (The elevator bell rings.) Good day, Lieutenant. (However, what Miles doesn't realize is that the elevator is out of order. As the door opens and Miles steps into an empty elevator shaft, he ends up falling to his death. Columbo looks on and is in shock.) Columbo: Mr. Standish! Oh my God.... (And so, he rushes back to the office and quickly calls 9-1-1.) (fade to black) (fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Greg: And welcome back. We've managed to clear all of Steven's friends and family off the stage. In case you missed the last segment, he won $50,000 in cash. Now, just imagine if he wins the million. Oh boy! Sam: $40 Steven: $20 Ian: $35
Bonus money aside, Sam still leads with $40, Ian close behind at $35, and Steven at $20. Back to these questions. 1. What was the capital of East Germany? 2. What word was intentionally omitted from the screenplay of The Godfather? 3. Which sea is located between Australia and New Zealand? 4. What is the literary term for a word that is spelled the same backwards as it is forwards? 5. What animal lives in a "drey"?(buzzcodes and answers, please)

1. What was the capital of East Germany? (buzzcode: 7) *Steven buzzes in (28)*Steven? Steven: East BerlinMakes sense, doesn't it? You're right, and you're on the board at $25. (ding) Sam: $40 Steven: $25 Ian: $35
2. What word was intentionally omitted from the screenplay of The Godfather? (buzzcode: 87) *Steven buzzes in (73)*Steven? Steven: MafiaRight again, and you go to $30. (ding) Sam: $40 Steven: $30 Ian: $35
3. Which sea is located between Australia and New Zealand? (buzzcode: 97) *Sam buzzes in (63)*Sam? Sam: The Tasman SeaRight you are, and you go to $45. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $30 Ian: $35
4. What is the literary term for a word that is spelled the same backwards as it is forwards? (buzzcode: 81) *Steven buzzes in (52)*Steven? Steven: PalindromeThat's right, and you move to $35. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $35 Ian: $35
5. What animal lives in a "drey"? (buzzcode: 95) *Steven buzzes in (38)*Steven? Steven: A SquirrelExactly right, up to $40. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $40 Ian: $35

[INSTANT BARGAIN]Instant Bargain time again, and Sam, you have a $5 lead. This is a rather interesting prize.... (it seems the entire gang has lottery fever as they fill out tickets) ["Communicators" by Mark Styles, OmniMusic]Stacey: Well, it seems that almost all of America has got PowerBall fever, because those jackpots just keep climbing and climbing. And Sam, now you have an opportunity to win something because we're offering you 5,000 PowerBall tickets with PowerPlay. Now, someone did the math in 2013, and in order to guarantee yourself any kind of prize, you have to buy at least 291 tickets, and the probability is still only 99.99%. Well, with 5,000 tickets, you'll probably win something. You might win a lot more than what you'd win here. Furnished by the Multi-State Lottery Association. If you were to buy all these tickets yourself, it would cost you.... But tonight on $ale of the Century, millions could be yours for only....(audience cheers as I join Stacey) Greg: Well now, 5,000 PowerBall tickets with PowerPlay, that means the possibility of big prizes. But wait, Stace.... Sam's from England. Stacey: Well, that's not really a problem. Non-US citizens can play and win Powerball. If a non-US citizen wins a large prize, they will be responsible for some amount of tax, which in the end will probably be an amount similar to what an American would pay, but there are so many possible variations with international tax codes that you'll need to consult with a local tax attorney if you need to know a precise amount of tax liability.Greg: Good to know. There's one other thing, too...... Sam, like me, is a Mormon. So he doesn't normally play the lottery. Now, Sam, you're not going to look 5,000 free tickets in the mouth, are you?

Very well. No Sale. I guess I'll just have to put it up as a door prize. (audience cheers at that) Sam, I think you may make someone in this audience very happy. (I walk back to the lectern) Sam doesn't want to buy, and he protects his lead. Back to the questions.
1. What is traditionally the main fruit ingredient in tapenade? 2. During what decade was the first US transcontinental railway completed? 3. In the nursery rhyme "Ladybird, Ladybird", why is the bug told to "fly away home"?

1. What is traditionally the main fruit ingredient in tapenade? (buzzcode: 68) *Ian buzzes in (77)*Ian? Ian: olivesMost people don't know that olives are fruits, you're right. You move up to $40. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $40 Ian: $40
2. During what decade was the first US transcontinental railway completed? (buzzcode: 5) *Ian buzzes in (32)*Ian? Ian: 1860s1869 to be exact, you're right again. Up to $45. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $40 Ian: $45
3. In the nursery rhyme "Ladybird, Ladybird", why is the bug told to "fly away home"? (buzzcode: 48) *Ian buzzes in (19)*Ian? Ian: Her house's on fire "and her children will burn"That's correct, we'd also accept children being gone. You take the lead. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $40 Ian: $50
(audience cheers) [FAME GAME]Well, this is turning into quite a horserace. Ian takes the lead by $5. We still have a $10 Money Card, and we're adding a $15. With $10 separating first and third, either one of those would help. We're looking, this time, for a famous thing. (whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)

(he stops)Stop at $10! (fanfare)(cheers and applause) (camera flashes between Steven and $10 MC) Well done. We add that to your score.... Sam: $45 Steven: $50 Ian: $50
And you are now tied for the lead with Ian at $50 with Sam close behind at $45. This is turning into quite a horserace, isn't it? Will anyone win the car? Will someone win $25,000... which might be just as good? And... (dramatic closeup of me) what about Naomi? For the answer to these and other questions.... (quick shot of Tony Barber at adjudicator/producer's table) Tony: Does anybody really know what time it is?(audience chuckles) (back to me) Greg: Join us after this break. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
["IMAX Experience"] (Behind the scenes, we go to my dressing room where I am still being interviewed.) Interviewer: I've noticed that over the past year, you haven't been afraid of being quite political.Greg: Indeed, I haven't. Full disclosure here: I am a conservative Republican. I voted for President Trump and liked it. We've had him many times on the show when he was a candidate. NBC complained, so I got Carly Fiorina to co-host an episode. [INSTANT BARGAIN]Instant Bargain, and all three players are tied at $25. We have a Triple $ale, ladies and gentlemen. Well, guys, only one of you can have this item. Buzz in when you hear the low $ale of the Century price and this could be yours. Carly? (Dr. Ben Carson holds up copies of Carly's 3-page tax code and makes more copies on this prize)Carly: Like I was saying earlier, we as a country need to radically simplify the tax code so that we can re-start the real engine of growth in our economy. That means our tax code needs to go from 73,000 pages down to about three pages. And you can make copies of those three pages to pass to your friends and neighbors with this multi-function printer.
You'll get impressive color and productivity—from a desktop multi-function printer featuring an 8-inch touchscreen. HP Quick Sets enable one-touch workflows. You can preview and edit images prior to scanning, centrally manage your environment, and help protect sensitive business information with one handy device. I used to be CEO for this company, so I give you my personal guarantee that it works! Furnished by Hewlett-Packard. It's normally priced at...
$3,199But tonight on $ale of the Century, it's yours for only....$5(audience cheers as I join them by the copier) Greg: Dr. Carson! So good to see you again. How are things in the polls? Ben: Could be better.Greg: I certainly agree. (Ben hands me stapled copies of Carly's tax plan) Oh, and what's this? You each get an affidavit of the Hall-Rabushka tax plan. (I walk over and pass them out, then look at it myself) Well, this is..... something. Pete: (VO) Not touching it with a 10-foot pole.(audience laughs) Greg: You're a non-factor, Peter. Anyway, would any of you be interested in this tax plan--- er, printer? Greg: We're back, and I've got some good news. Chuck Barris has decided to step out of retirement for one night so he can present two back-to-back specials. The Carly Fiorina Rah Rah Show and The Ben Carson Rah Rah Show. That's two hours of great, live political propaganda airing Friday, December 18th at 8PM right here on NBC. And of course, Donald Trump is going to ask for equal time. Greg: And then there was that one episode where we had Bill Clinton guest star. I'll never forget that episode. [CASHCARD]CashCard time, and Ian, you're dominating the game by $59. Here's a prize you could win. ["THE ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS"](Donald Trump, Jr. pops out of a giant barrel dressed like El Chavo, to audience laughter) Michelle: Ay bendito! (to Don) You are the whitest El Chavo I've ever seen in my life. Anyway, one of my favorite TV shows growing up in Acapulco was El Chavo del Ocho. You can still see it on UniMas. It's a comedy about a poor orphan child that lives on a Mexican housing complex, typically called a vecindad. I have the DVD right here.(she holds it up) There are five DVDs and 25 episodes, many of which haven't been seen in years in reruns. From Televisa Home Entertainment.
And you can invest in your own vecindad because we're giving you a FIBRA! A FIBRA is an investment trust dedicated to the acquisition and development of real estate in Mexico held for leasing. We'll be giving you 425 shares, and the value is based on the closing price on the day of taping. Furnished by Macquarie Group Limited.All together, this prize package is worth.....$10,203(audience cheers, as I laugh out loud; the laughs get louder as Bill Clinton walks out with a fake moustache, a sun hat, a t-shirt, and jeans) Michelle: You're supposed to be Don Ramón?Bill C.: (with very poor Spanish pronunciation) Yo lay voy al Necaxa. (Hispanic members of the audience boo, one guy calls Bill Clinton a "cabrón") Greg: I agree with you, sir! I think we just insulted our Hispanic audience. The CashCard is worth $15,000. Ian, do you want to play? It'll cost you $15. Quickly, before they turn off their TVs in Puerto Rico. Greg: You see, "cabrón" literally means male goat in Spanish, but in slang, it's closer to "dumbass". Ha ha ha! But yeah, I think this show helped President Trump secure the election.
(fade to the Oval Office in the White House) President Trump: Greg Palmer? Yeah, he's a decent guy. I think he voted for me, but of course, who wouldn't? Believe me. But yeah, do I think $ale helped elect me? Eh.... maybe, maybe not. I mean, it wasn't like Oprah, but I do think it had an effect. Yeah, Greg Palmer is an outstanding guy who respects me and respects this country. You know, a lot of people in the media, especially at NBC, don't respect me. I mean, Alec Baldwin recently won an Emmy for spoofing me on Saturday Night Live. It's a shame. Believe me, it's a shame. When I did this, when I went on the show, I tweeted, I probably, maybe will confuse people, maybe I’ll expand that, you know, lengthen the time because it should be over with, in my opinion, should have been over with a long time ago. But yeah, an outstanding guy. I like him. Did he help me win the election? Maybe. Do I watch $ale? Well, I D-V-R it. (fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Welcome back, it's round 3, Heat 3. Sam: $45 Steven: $50 Ian: $50
We have Steven and Ian tied for first at $50. Sam is close behind at $45. As a reminder, we have the keys to a 2017 VW Golf GTI Sport for anyone who wins the match with $100 or more, so all to play for here. Back to the questions. 1. In which US state would you find the zip code 12345? 2. Who provided the original voice for Stewie Griffin? 3. A quincentenary celebrates how many years? 4. What 2004 film spawned a line of popular t-shirts reading "Vote for Pedro"? 5. Give me the next line to this new Disney classic song. I was the one who had it all I was the master of my fate I never needed anybody in my life I learned the truth too late I'll never shake away the pain I close my eyes but she's still there I let her steal into my melancholy heart(buzzcodes and answers, please)

1. In which US state would you find the zip code 12345? (buzzcode: 31) *Steven buzzes in (34, 1st to respond)*Steven? Steven: New YorkThat's correct, and you take the lead at $55. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $55 Ian: $50

3. A quincentenary celebrates how many years? (buzzcode: 22) *Steven buzzes in (50, 1st to respond)*Steven? Steven: Five HundredThat's exactly how many years, you go to $60. (ding) Sam: $45 Steven: $60 Ian: $55

[CASHCARD]And it's CashCard time. Steven and Ian, you two are tied, so we'll see who plays for what, if anyone, after I tell you a few things. We've replaced the prize with Take $10, so it is possible for you to further cement your lead. In the words of David Sams, "It could be DEVASTATING!" In addition, all this week, the CashCard is worth a flat (best Geoff Edwards impression) TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS! (I reveal the check, audience cheers, I put the check away) However, only one of you can play, so here's how the Silent Auction will work. I'm going to give you 30 seconds to secretly lock in a bid from $1 to $15. High bid wins. If one person passes and the other bids, the bidder wins automatically. If you both pass, nobody gets it. If you both bid the same amount, you'll have to bid again. If you both bid the same the second time or both of you go for the full $15, we flip a coin. So there's a little strategy involved. If everybody understands... (both players nod) then your 30 seconds starts now. (the lights dim as the two players submit their bids, shot of the $25,000 check, shot of both Steven and Ian)(PM me your bids from $1-$15 or "pass", please)

(the lights come back up) OK, let's see what you two bid. I believe we'll start with the player to my left, Steven. Six dollars. OK, let's see if Ian can beat that. $10. Well, Ian, you're not going to bet anything, we'll just let you play CashCard for 33% off the normal price. We take $10 from your score.... Sam: $50 Steven: $60 Ian: $50
You're now tied for second. Ian, go ahead and pick a suit.

And you didn't need to know anything about Snoop Dogg's career to get it! Congratulations, Ian. That money is yours.
The only bad thing about it is that you're now tied for second.
Sam: $50 Steven: $60 Ian: $50
But, we'll be adding a $25 Money Card to the board shortly. First, these questions.
1. What YouTube star was created by British animator Simon Tofield? 2. What island was once called Van Diemen's Land? 3. What is the more common name for the human tympanic membrane?
