00:38from this week's guest star, Dick Clark.
00:40But right now, we're gonna meet our first couple.
00:42Nick, will you introduce them, please?
00:44-♪♪ Gene, our first couple is Bill and Colette Smith.
00:47-♪♪
00:51Oh, hello there.
00:53How are you?
00:54Fine.
00:55Hi there.
00:57Right, I take it you two are rooming together?
00:59Yeah? Yeah.
01:01Pardon me?
01:03Yeah, well, of course, these are not your own jackets,
01:06as everybody obviously is aware.
01:08We had them put them on.
01:09We've got a couple of stunts lined up for you,
01:11and the first stunt is involving these jackets, okay?
01:13So let's get to that right away.
01:15Would you two folks come right up stage here with me?
01:17And I want you to stand right at the top of the circle.
01:19You'll stand here on my left, please.
01:21And you will stand here on my right.
01:23Turn around this way, that's it.
01:24Now, come over here, closer to me.
01:26Fine.
01:27Now, of course, I want to just check your coats here.
01:29You have pockets on both sides there.
01:31You have a handkerchief pocket.
01:32And do you have an inside pocket?
01:34Yes, you have one there.
01:35And you only have one, all right.
01:37Now, let's see, you've got pocket,
01:38you've got pocket, pocket.
01:40And how many do you have inside?
01:42Pardon me?
01:43Okay, yeah, right, you've got two.
01:44Okay, now, here's what I want you to do.
01:47This is the age of the litter bug,
01:49and we must stamp them out.
01:51And there is a genuine litter bug right there, friends.
01:54Look at her, strewing papers all over the countryside.
01:57Oh, boo, boo on her.
01:58Don't applaud a litter bug.
02:03No, applaud a litter bug.
02:05All right, now, here's your stunt.
02:06Here's what I want you to do.
02:08All you have to do to beat the clock
02:09is pick up all of those papers
02:11and stuff them in the pockets of the jackets, okay?
02:14You've got to get them up off the floor and in the pockets.
02:16Hey, clock, how much time do they have to do that?
02:19They've got 45 seconds.
02:20Now, one thing more, friends, when you do the stuffing,
02:23you can't put it in your own pockets.
02:26You've got to put it in your partner's pockets, okay?
02:29You got the picture?
02:30Okay, and go, kids.
02:32In your partner's pockets.
02:35That's it.
02:38Get them all in there.
02:41No, stuff first.
02:42You can't pick them up all at once.
02:44You've got to pick them up and stuff and then move on.
02:47That's it.
02:48Get them in there.
02:49They've got to be in the pockets.
02:50Now, get them in there.
02:51Come on.
02:57Stuff them in there.
02:58Make sure they're all off the floor.
03:00There's still one more out.
03:01Come on, you've got 15 seconds.
03:04Okay, stand apart.
03:05Stop the clock.
03:07Great.
03:12Okay, congratulations.
03:16Very good.
03:17Now, why don't you just take these things off,
03:18if you will, please,
03:19and we'll just leave them right here.
03:21Thank you, B, and thank you, Gail.
03:23Okay, folksy, step over this way
03:25because you have won yourself a trip to the cashboard.
03:29Here we have our beat the clock cashboard.
03:31Here's the way it's going to work.
03:33Behind each letter, there is money ranging from $25 to $200.
03:37Put your heads together and tell me which letter you want.
03:42A.
03:44A for Amy.
03:45A, A and B.
03:46Okay, they've chosen a letter.
03:48They want the A and B, which means they have won $50.
03:54Great.
03:57Okay, very good.
03:59Now, as I told you, you're going to get a lot of help, okay?
04:02So I want you two to stay right here at the podium
04:04and sort of rest your bones a little teeny bit,
04:06catch your breath while I introduce that help,
04:09and then we'll do your second stunt.
04:10Okay, he is a charming guy and a talented guy.
04:15You've seen him on television many, many times.
04:17He's appeared in motion pictures.
04:19Won't you all greet Dick Clark?
04:21Here he is.
04:25Hey, Richard.
04:26How are you?
04:30Dick Clark.
04:32They like you.
04:34Well, you know, that's nice.
04:36No, they do. They like you.
04:37Thank you.
04:39You terrify me, you know that?
04:41Pardon me?
04:42I say you really terrify me because I stay back there
04:44and I see all sorts of fiendish things lined up.
04:46Yes, I hope they're not for me.
04:48Huh?
04:49There's one in particular.
04:50Yes, well, don't worry.
04:51The fiendish ones we save for our guest stars.
04:54I've been here a lot of times, Gene.
04:55I've never, never been embarrassed,
04:57never had any real trouble,
04:58but it looks like today's the day.
05:01We would never do anything to embarrass you.
05:03Sorry I wouldn't.
05:04No, it's true.
05:05What are you going to do to me now?
05:06I'm going to introduce you to our couple right here.
05:07I'd like you to meet Dick Clark, folksies.
05:09He's going to help you with the second stunt.
05:10Come on up this way toward the clock, okay?
05:13And Dick, I would like you to get into that box
05:15right over there on the right.
05:16And Bill, would you get into the box here?
05:18Okay, and now, sweetheart, you come all the way up here.
05:21Now, once they get inside, that's fine.
05:24Okay, just stick your head through the hole there.
05:26Fine.
05:27Isn't this marvelous?
05:29It's like Alice in Wonderland.
05:31There are handles in there.
05:33A box.
05:34Now, here's what you're going to do to beat the clock.
05:36We have a ball here, you see, Colette?
05:38And what you're going to do is place the ball
05:40between these two boxes, you understand?
05:42Then, gentlemen, all you have to do to beat the clock
05:44is get that ball on top of either one of your boxes.
05:48Do you understand?
05:49Step back, please, gentlemen.
05:51Step back, please.
05:51Fine, okay.
05:52Now, let's take a look at the clock
05:54and see how much time we have.
05:56We have got one minute to do this.
05:58And, Colette, I'm going to let you set the ball
06:00to start with, okay?
