Final Jeopardy! Round responses

THE SECRET SERVICE
(Alex: In addition to the cash, of course, you will receive this automobile:)
(Johnny Gilbert: Congratulations, Brian, as a five-time undefeated Jeopardy! champion you've won the new Jaguar X-Type, a sleek, compact, and nimble automobile for the next generation. Experience classic Jaguar styling with the adrenaline rush of a V6. From Rusnak Jaguar, Pasadena.)
(Alex: Now, Brian, if you were a thoroughbred racehorse, I would say that you are the favorite looking to the upcoming Kentucky Derby in just a few weeks, but since you're a Jeopardy! champion, we're looking forward to our Tournament of Champions in a few weeks, and I would say you have to be the favorite in that also. And you're not playing for $100,000 this year. We have upped the prize winnings, and the champion will receive a quarter million dollars. So look for Brian in that one. Tomorrow, three new players on Jeopardy! See you then. So long.)
