Lee Iacocca is right (btw, spelling doesn't matter as long as it won't change the pronunciation)! (Applause as end of round cue plays) With that sound, we have reached the end of Round Two. As we go into the Final Challenge, the scores put Michael in the lead at $16,800, James is in second with $4,100, and Matt with $3,000. It appears that, with strategic wagering, Michael cannot be caught. However, since everyone keeps his winnings, we'll proceed. Gentlemen, let's play the Final Challenge. The subject is...(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!)
FEMALE WORLD LEADERS
In a moment, you will see three categories: one worth even money, one worth double, and one worth triple. The higher the odds, the harder the question. You will have 24 hours to lock in a wager and a category choice. The highest wager in a category gets the first attempt at the question, but if that player is wrong, the second and third highest bidders will each get a chance at the question. Remember, everyone will keep the money he has at the end of the Final Challenge, so wager carefully. The minimum bet is $5, and you must wager in $5 increments. Here are the available questions...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)
SOUTH AMERICA for EVEN
ASIA for DOUBLE
EUROPE for TRIPLE
You know the rules, you know the categories; gentlemen, the Challenge...is yours.
(Final Challenge think music plays)
A trip to the Ultimate Challenge is on the line! Will Michael get the chance? We'll be back to find out right after this! (Main theme)

(Main theme as video wall displays an ad for this...)
Don Morrow: All contestants' winnings will be deposited into a Capital One credit or debit account, with award-winning service and benefits. You may choose from the Venture Rewards card, which offers double miles on every purchase; the Quicksilver Rewards card, with a 1.5% cash back award on every purchase, every day; or a Capital One 360 checking account, with no fees on ATM access or check-writing, no minimum balances, and interest on all accounts. All from Capital One - What's In Your Wallet? And now, here's Jonathan with the Final Challenge! (Applause)
Me: Thanks, Don! Gentlemen, it's time to resolve this game. You've all locked in a wager on one of the three categories you just saw on FEMALE WORLD LEADERS. Now, we'll reveal those wagers. Matt, you're in third place with $3,000 - how much did you risk, and on which category?
Matt: I wagered $3,000 on EUROPE.
Me: You went all-in. Let's see if it holds up. James, you're in second with $4,100. Your wager?
James: I bet $4,100 on ASIA.
Me: Going for double. Michael, you have been dominating this game, to say the least. If you wagered $4,500 or less, you have locked up this game. Did you?
Michael: I'm going all out. $16,800 on EUROPE. (Audience gasps and yells out)
Me: Putting it all on the line! Here's how it will work. James, you'll get your question unopposed and we'll go to you first. Right or wrong, we'll go to Michael for his question, since he's the highest bidder. If Michael is wrong, Matt will get a chance at the question and maybe the game. Let's go to James first. The subject: FEMALE WORLD LEADERS. The category: ASIA. James...
The daughter of a former Pakistani Prime Minister, she became the first woman leader of a Muslim country when she came to power in 1988. Although praised by the West for her economic reforms, she was ousted in 1990 amid corruption charges, only to re-emerge for a second term in 1993. In 2007, she was killed while campaigning for Parliament. For $12,300 or nothing at all...give the first and last name of this leader.

(Once again, spelling doesn't matter, as long as the pronunciation doesn't change)
That's correct for a grand total of $12,300 (Applause). Michael, it all comes down to you now. Get this right, and you'll win and qualify for the Ultimate Challenge. Miss, and James will win. However, should you miss, Matt will get a crack at the question to try to add to his total. Good luck, Michael...
In 2009, Johanna Siguroardottir not only became the first female Prime Minister of her nation, but she was also the first openly lesbian head of government in the world. She is well-known for saving her country's economy and pushing for women's rights, a goal she had since joining her country's Parliament in 1978. For $67,200 and a trip to the Ultimate Challenge...or nothing at all...name Siguroardottir's country.

Oh, Michael...
YOU DID IT AGAIN! (Last bars of the main theme play as I go to shake everyone's hand) James, you won $12,300. Matt, $3,000. Both of you, spend that money wisely. Michael, with that victory, you got a grand total today of $67,200. Combined with the $82,800 won previously, your grand total is exactly $150,000 (Applause)! But, we're not through yet. Are you ready to step up to the Ultimate Challenge?

Then, let's take the challenge! (Michael and I move toward the raised platform at center stage, with Michael facing the video wall)
Michael, you now have a chance to add $100,000 to your winnings. Here's how...
- You'll choose from one of two subjects, then I'll give you three categories, arranged from easy to hard.
- In each category, you'll answer one two-part question. You must give both parts to be considered correct for the question. In addition, you must give the number associated with each part (for instance, "1 is..." and "2 is...").
- You'll have 24 hours to give your response to each question.
- No matter what, we'll play all three questions, as each correct question will be worth $2,500 to you.
- Correctly give both parts to all three questions, and you win $100,000.
With all of this in mind, here are the two subjects you can choose from...
FLAGS OF THE WORLD
FILM CLASSICS
Which would you like?

Very well. You'll have three two-part questions. Here are the categories, in the order in which we'll play them.
"GONE WITH THE WIND"
"CASABLANCA"
"KING'S ROW"
Good luck to you. We'll start with "GONE WITH THE WIND."
The 1939 film "Gone With the Wind" provided some of the most memorable quotes in movie history. For $2,500, tell me...
1. What were the first two words spoken in the film?
2. Scarlett O'Hara said the last six words in the film. What were those words?
You have 24 hours (think cue plays).

#2 is "After all, tomorrow is another day."
#1 is "What do" |

Post by jmdarrall on Mar 17, 2015 9:14:21 GMT -5
You are right on #2, very good. Sounded unsure on #1. Picture the scene...the sun is setting, the slaves are working the field, and the bell rings...one of the slaves yells...
"Quittin' time!" Those were the first words in the movie (audience awwwws). You're out of contention for the $100,000, I'm afraid. However, we'll try to get you up to $5,000 in consolation money. Let's try "CASABLANCA."
One of the more memorable characters in this World War II classic was Sam the pianist, played by Dooley Wilson. Indeed, his piano plays a vital role in the movie. I'll ask two questions about Sam and the piano, and for $2,500, tell me...
1. What song does Sam play when Ilsa Lund, played by Ingrid Bergmann, walks into Rick's Cafe and says "Play it, Sam"?
2. What important objects were hidden in Sam's piano?
You have 24 hours (think cue plays).

Congratulations, you have $2,500 (Applause). One more, this one's on "KING'S ROW."
Considered by many to be Ronald Reagan's best film, "King's Row" depicts life in a railroad town at the turn of the century. In it, Reagan plays Drake McHugh, a railroad worker who suffers an injury, only to be treated at the hands of a sadistic surgeon who gives Drake an unnecessary amputation. For a total of $5,000...
1. What part of Drake's body was amputated?
2. Drake's five-word reaction to the surgery is also the title of Reagan's 1965 autobiography. Name the quote, and you've named the book.
Once again, 24 hours (think cue plays).

#1 was his legs.
#2 was "Where's the rest of me?" |

It was indeed his legs, and the response was "Where's the REST of me?" That's good for $5,000! (Applause) Not bad, Michael (I go to shake his hand). You came out of the Ultimate Challenge with a total of $155,000, and you'll return on the next show to face two new people, who will be...
THE CHALLENGERS!
Good day, everyone!
