It's good for a thousand dollars, well done! What term indicates an unforeseen natural event, beyond human control? | A. Fait accompli | B. Act of god | | C. Writ | D. Decree absolute |
$1,000 ( $1,000 win cue, some applause as the lights go up) ( another cue plays as the lights go down again) There you go, $1,000, no problem at all. At this point, I might as well ask: is there anybody here with you in the studio tonight? |

We're getting there, we're getting there! (audience laughs) I think that's as good a cue as any to quickly update what's going on here... | [50:50][PaF][AtA][StQ] | | 15 $1 MILLION | | 14 $500,000 | | 13 $250,000 | | 12 $125,000 | | 11 $64,000 | | 10 $32,000 | | 9 $16,000 | | 8 $8,000 | | 7 $4,000 | | 6 $2,000 | | 5 路 $1,000 | | 4 路 $500 | | 3 路 $300 | | 2 路 $200 | | 1 路 $100 |
All your lifelines still there, of course, and you've got the grand guaranteed. You'll be able to set your second safe point before each question from here on out. Silly question coming, I know, but the rules require me to ask you this - do you want to set your second safe point at $2,000? |

Very good, you've got two thousand dollars! ($2,000 win cue, applause and a couple cheers as the lights go up) Which of these body parts would a doctor use an otoscope to examine? | A. Ear | B. Mouth | | C. Nose | D. Eye |
$2,000 (another cue as the lights go down again) You're well on your way now. Four grand on the line in a moment here, and I have to ask: do you want to set your safe point at this, question number 7?

| A. Black | B. Yellow | | C. Red | D. Blue |
$4,000 (another cue as the lights go back down once again) You're about halfway there - you've breezed through the first seven, and you've still got all four lifelines. $8,000 question coming - do you want your safe point here?

(fade up) MILLIONAIRE MOMENT: 2004
(2:49 to about 3:10)
(some laughter and applause as we cut back to the studio) Regis Philbin just about giving the accountants a heart attack during Super Millionaire. Jonathan Laster isn't going for twenty million dollars, and he hasn't even got twenty thousand yet, but he's going for almost that much in just a moment here. Tell me, Jonathan, what do you want to do with the money you win tonight? |

Sounds about as sensible as any plan, I suppose. Let's see just how much we can get you for your bank account and charity... (cue music as the money tree pops back up) | [50:50][PaF][AtA][StQ] | | 15 $1 MILLION | | 14 $500,000 | | 13 $250,000 | | 12 $125,000 | | 11 $64,000 | | 10 $32,000 | | 9 $16,000 | | 8 路 $8,000 | | 7 路 $4,000 | | 6 路 $2,000 | | 5 路 $1,000 | | 4 路 $500 | | 3 路 $300 | | 2 路 $200 | | 1 路 $100 |
You've still got all four lifelines at your disposal as you go into question number nine - just seven questions to go to the million. This is where the money really starts to get big, so play wisely, that's what I'll tell you. On that note, you have yet to set your second safe haven - do you want to put it at $16,000? |

(Ask the Audience music plays as the lights go up) Alright, audience, the time is now. $16,000 on the line, you've got the question, you've got the four possible answers, so on your keypads, using A, B, C or D, vote NOW! (The poll will close in about 48 hours.)

Courtesy bump for people to respond to the Ask the Audience poll.
(Also, while that's in progress - if you're not part of this first episode and want in on the action in episode 2, send me a PM and I'll save you a spot.)

(Right, the last vote came almost a day ago, so I'm cutting off the poll so we can keep this moving. Future uses of Ask the Audience will likely last for 24 hours. Back to the game...)
(BANG! - and the music cuts back in)
A. 43%
B. 0%
C. 43%
D. 14%
(combination of oohs and groans from the audience)
Well, it seems they're pretty split on this one - A and C tied for first.
You still have three lifelines available.

(final answer cue)In 1876, Henry M. Robert set down the rules of order that govern what?
| A. Boxing | B. Courtroom procedure | | C. Parliamentary procedure | D. Dueling |
Oh goodness, Jonathan... ...you rushed right into your final answer there. Thanks to the half of the audience you ended up going with... ...you've just won $16,000! ($16,000 win cue, cheers and applause as the lights go up) In 1876, Henry M. Robert set down the rules of order that govern what?
| A. Boxing | B. Courtroom procedure | | C. Parliamentary procedure | D. Dueling |
$16,000 (more music as the lights go down once more) That was a bit of a nailbiter there, I've gotta admit, but it's worked out for you quite nicely. | [50:50][PaF][---][StQ] | | 15 $1 MILLION | | 14 $500,000 | | 13 $250,000 | | 12 $125,000 | | 11 $64,000 | | 10 $32,000 | | 9 路 $16,000 | | 8 路 $8,000 | | 7 路 $4,000 | | 6 路 $2,000 | | 5 路 $1,000 | | 4 路 $500 | | 3 路 $300 | | 2 路 $200 | | 1 路 $100 |
And perhaps more importantly, it means you're going now for $32,000 with three lifelines left. Do you want to set your safe point here?
