(Alex: All right, let's see. The fellows are not looking happy. We come to Mark Dawson first. He was in third place with $10,600. He wrote down--he was going for Moby Dick and then changed it.)
(Mark: Too late.)
(Alex: Too late.)
...
(Alex: [To Colby] Sorry, H.G. Wells is not going to work for you today.)
...
(Alex: Now we come to Chuck Forrest...)
[Chuck shakes his head and raises his arms.]
(Alex: And he hasn't a clue; doesn't have a clue. [*] is the work.)
[The audience groans.]
(Alex: But what did it cost you? $2,500. That leaves you with $11,900, but Chuck Forrest, you are a semifinalist. Come on over here. And now, here are the other semifinalists. First, the winners of the games...)
(Roger: Roger Craig, Brooklyn, New York.)
(Russ: Russ Schumacher, Fort Collins, Colorado.)
(Brad: Brad Rutter, Los Angeles, California.)
(Ken: Ken Jennings, Seattle, Washington.)
(Alex: And now, the highest scorers among non-winners...)
(Tom: Tom Cubbage, Arlington, Virginia.)
(Leszek: Leszek Pawlowicz, Flagstaff, Arizona.)
(Pam: Pam Mueller, Princeton, New Jersey.)
(Alex: And one more, and he happens to be standing on our stage. Colby Burnett! Come on over, Colby. You all have a good weekend, ladies and gentlemen. We're back on Monday to start the semifinals that will lead to a $1 million payday. So, see you then.)| Mark | What is Moby Dici | | $2,000 | | Colby | What is The Time Machine? | | $800 | | Chuck | What ? | | $2,500 |
