02:18Yeah, I need it.
02:19You need it? I need that stuff.
02:20That's great.
02:22Well, then, at all costs, avoid the dragon.
02:23You've been on a roll so far.
02:25You've already beaten four opponents.
02:26By the way, let me ask you, how are you feeling right now?
02:27Oh, I'm really excited. I'm raring to go.
02:29You feel lucky? I hope so.
02:31All right, let's go for some numbers.
02:32I know you have some help in the audience.
02:33Yeah, my parents are sitting out in front.
02:35Mother, what do you want? Says two.
02:37Your mom says two. Okay, let's check out number two.
02:42Oh, for goodness sakes, now. That's just no fair, dragon.
02:46Let's do that again. No, we can't do that again, of course.
02:49Let's reveal where everything else was.
02:51Where was the tick and the tack?
02:52There they were. Everything was up there,
02:55but the dragon was just waiting, lying and waiting.
02:57We'll have to see what happens next time around.
02:59That's right, because, of course, you get to go back.
03:02$10,650 so far.
03:04Let's see if you can keep it going.
03:06Head on back there, Jenny.
03:07Let's find out who Jenny's next opponent is going to be.
03:11I know that he's probably going to be a terrific player.
03:14Well, Jim, he's a systems analyst whose interests
03:16include horses and swimming. Meet Mike Carson.
03:23Hello, Mike. How are you? Great, great.
03:25Thanks for joining us all here on Tic-Tac-Toe.
03:27Tell us about your work.
03:29Well, I do design and implementation
03:30of computer systems for corporations.
03:33Specific focus is there for you? I mean...
03:35Well, either all kinds of different computer systems,
03:38sometimes strategic consulting, but mostly computer systems.
03:40But I am on a three-year leave of absence now.
03:43You are? What are you doing with your time off?
03:44Well, I'm going in the Peace Corps for a few years.
03:46You are? Yes.
03:47Terrific. Good for you. What are you going to be doing?
03:49I'll leave that to you.
03:50I'll either be teaching in Fiji
03:52or I'll be doing fisheries work in Africa.
03:55It's sort of just a way to contribute a little bit.
03:57Well, that's an interesting choice. Give him a hand.
03:59Fiji or Africa.
04:02Right. That's quite a choice you have.
04:04Big difference. Is it your choice or theirs?
04:06Half and half.
04:07They suggest and I decide whether I want to do it
04:10or wait for a different program to come along.
04:12Well, we wish you the best of luck.
04:13Let's go ahead and take a break right now
04:15and see how Jenny and Mike do when we come back.
04:20Well, Jenny Bell has met her latest challenger, Mike Carson.
04:23They're about ready to go.
04:25And Jenny, I'm going to tell you right now,
04:26in case you didn't know,
04:27this is a critical game right now
04:29because if you beat Mike,
04:31you're going to win a brand new car.
04:33That's what you're going to do.
04:35So, we wish you luck.
04:37And of course, Mike, we hope you do well as well.
04:40Let's take a look at the nine categories
04:42you're both going to be playing with today.
04:44They are Famous Blondes, Trivia Dare, Aquatic Biology,
04:48Clothes Styles, Baseball, Take Two, Movies,
04:52Three to Win, and Mythology.
04:54And Jenny, Mike, I'll remind you,
04:55those red boxes mean they're special categories
04:57and they're somewhat difficult sometimes.
04:59So, I'll be sure to tell you how they go when we get to them.
05:02Jenny, you're the champion.
05:03Go ahead and start us off with your first selection.
05:05I'll take Mythology in the lower right, please.
05:07Okay, Jenny.
05:08The mythological god of love is often pictured
05:11as a chubby infant with wings and a bow and arrow.
05:15A person should be able to fly,
05:17a bow and arrow.
05:18A person shot with one of his arrows
05:20will supposedly fall in love.
05:22The Greeks called him Eros.
05:23What did the Romans call him?
05:25Cupid.
05:26Cupid is right.
05:28Next goes on the board.
05:29We're off and running. $200 in the pot.
05:31Time to shuffle.
05:32And Mike, your first selection of the game.
05:35Jim, I'll take Mythology in the upper left.
05:38Like that category, huh?
05:39Listen carefully.
05:40One ancient culture worshiped a group of gods
05:42called the Great Aeneid.
05:44Those gods included Ra, the sun god,
05:47and Isis, the goddess of fertility.
05:50Name that ancient culture.
05:52That's the Egyptians.
05:53Right.
05:54Egypt is the one.
05:56Good for you, Mike.
05:57Okay, you get an O in the top left-hand corner.
05:59Now we're up to $400 in the pot.
06:01We're shuffling.
06:02Jenny?
06:03I'll take Mythology in the center, please.
06:05All right, center box.
06:07You know that that has some extra time involved,
06:08and it's a two-parter, Jenny.
06:10Many gods and goddesses of Greek mythology
06:12have counterparts in Roman mythology.
06:15I'll name two Greek divinities.
06:17You give me their Roman names.
06:19Number one, Hermes, the swift messenger of the gods
06:22who also protected travelers and thieves,
06:24and Poseidon, the god of the sea.
06:27Here's your extra time, Jenny.
06:29♪♪
06:37Talking about Greek and Roman mythology, Jenny,
06:40I'll name two Greek divinities.
06:41You give me their Roman names.
06:44Hermes, the swift messenger of the gods
06:46who also protected travelers and thieves.
06:48Mercury.
06:49Mercury is right.
06:50Part two, Poseidon, the god of the sea.
06:54Trident.
06:55Neptune.
06:57Oh, Jenny, can't give you that center box.
06:58Let's shuffle with $400 in the pot.
07:00Mike, your turn.
07:02Okay, I would like...
07:05Famous Blondes in the upper right-hand corner.
07:09Mike, this blonde actress is the granddaughter
07:11of one of America's most celebrated novelists.
07:13Starring roles in such films as
07:15The Mean Season and Star 80
07:17have made her a star in her own right.
07:19Name her.
07:21Muriel Hemingway.
07:22That's right. Muriel Hemingway.
07:24Tall, beautiful girl.
07:26Another robo's on the board, top right-hand corner.
07:28$600 in the pot.
07:29Let's shuffle them up.
07:31Jenny, over to you.
07:33Well, I'll try closed styles for the block, please.
07:36First block of the game, Jenny.
07:38The term for a person who specializes in women's hats
07:41is derived from the name of an Italian city
07:44which was famous for ladies' finery in the 16th century.
07:48For the block, name this term.
07:50Millinery.
07:51Right. Milliner, that's it.
07:53Good for you. From Milan, Italy.
07:55Jenny, you've got the block.
07:57$800 in the pot.
07:59Just those five categories sitting there now.
08:01Let's shuffle them.
08:02And Mike?
08:05I'd like to go with aquatic biology, Jim.
08:09Okay, that's in the center box, isn't it?
08:11Let me be sure to give you the right question.
08:12Listen up, Mike. You'll have some extra time on this.
08:14Now, I'll describe two fish
08:16which are popular for home aquariums.
08:18You name them. One.
08:20These small fish are known for their rapid reproduction.
08:22They are named after a man who brought them to Britain.
08:26Also, these popular fish are related to the carp.
08:29They may live up to 50 years
08:31and will lose their color if kept in a dark room.
08:34Take some extra time, Mike.
08:36♪♪
08:44Mike, you're going for that center box worth $300.
08:46I'll describe two fish which are popular for home aquariums.
08:49You name them. Number one.
08:51These small fish are known for their rapid reproduction.
08:53They are named after a man who brought them to Britain.
08:57That's guppies.
08:58That's right. Number two.
09:00These popular fish are related to the carp.
09:02They may live up to 50 years
09:04and will lose their color if kept in a dark room.
09:07Catfish? No, goldfish.
09:09Oh, no. Oh, Mike.
09:11All right. Can't give you that center box either.
09:13$800 in the pot. Let's take a break.
09:16♪♪
09:21Now, here's Jim. Thanks, Charlie.
09:22This is an important game for Jenny.
09:24Remember, Jenny, you're going for a car in this game.
09:26So, with $800 in the pot, let's shuffle
09:29and see what you're going to do this time.
09:31Oh, no.
09:33I guess I'll try aquatic biology in the center, please.
09:35You're going for that center box, huh?
09:37Okay. You know you'll have extra time on this one.
09:39I'll describe two types of crabs
09:41named for their unusual habits.
09:43You name them. Number one.
09:45This crab's name comes from the way
09:46it makes its home in an empty seashell.
09:49Two. This crab's name comes from how it moves
09:52its one large claw back and forth
09:53like a musician playing a certain instrument.
09:56Here's some extra time for you, Jenny.
09:58♪♪
10:06Not particularly handsome creatures.
10:08We're talking about two types of crabs here, Jenny,
10:11named for unusual habits.
10:12You must name both of them. Number one.
10:14This crab's name comes from the way
10:16it makes its home in an empty seashell.
10:18A hermit crab?
10:19Hermit crab is right.
10:21Second part.
10:22This crab's name comes from how it moves
10:24its one large claw back and forth
10:26like a musician playing a certain instrument.
10:29Fiddler? Right. That's it.
10:31Good for you.
10:33Good old fiddler crab does it for you, Jenny.
10:35We'll put an X in the center box.
10:37$1,100 in the pot. Let's shuffle them up.
10:41Well, Mike?
10:43Well, looks like I have to go for trivia dare for the block.
10:46Special category.
10:47Either one of you can get the box
10:49in the category of trivia dare.
10:51I'll read you a question, and then you're going to decide,
10:54Mike, whether you'll answer it first
10:55or dare Jenny to answer first.
10:58You want a block. Jenny, if you get this box,
11:00you'll win your fifth game and a brand new car.
11:05Now, the question is this.
11:07In a game of checkers,
11:09how many pieces does each player start with?
11:12Is it 10, 12, or 16?
11:16Mike, what are you going to do?
11:17Answer or dare?
11:20I'll answer.
11:21Going for the answer and a block.
11:23All right, Mike. Is it 10, 12, or 16?
11:28There's 12.
11:29You have the block.
11:30Good for you.
11:32Put a block on the board. You have it.
11:37We're up to now $1,300 in the pot.
11:40Three categories left. Let's shuffle them up.
11:43Jenny?
11:44I'll try clothes styles in the bottom left, please.
11:47Jenny, this name is given to a Spanish-style
11:49waist-length jacket.
11:51It usually has no color lapels or sleeves.
11:54This jacket shares its name with a lively Spanish dance.
11:58Name it.
11:59Bolero. Bolero is right.
12:01You jumped right on that, didn't you? You knew it.
12:03Okay. X in the bottom left-hand corner.
12:05$1,500 in the pot.
12:07Two categories left. I'm going to shuffle.
12:11Mike, your turn.
12:15I'll choose three to win.
12:19Okay. Mike, special category.
12:20You know either one of you can get the box
12:22in the three to win category.
12:24I'm going to read questions to both of you.
12:26If you think you know the answer, hit your buzzer.
12:29Whoever correctly answers three questions first wins the box.
12:33The subject of this three to win category is Star Trek.
12:38Hands on the buzzers.
12:40Name the spaceship in...
12:42Jenny?
12:43USS Enterprise is right. You have one.
12:45This actor portrayed the role of the villainous Khan in...
12:49Mike?
12:50I'm sorry. Don't have it.
12:52Jenny?
12:53Ricardo Montalbán.
12:54That's right. You have two.
12:56It's two to nothing, Jenny.
12:57You can get the box on another question.
13:01Mr. Spock's mother was an...
13:03Jenny?
13:05I'm sorry. Klingon.
13:07Mike?
13:08Vulcan.
13:09I'll read the whole question. That's right.
13:10I was going to make sure you had the question if you needed it.
13:12You got it. It's two to one.
13:13Actor DeForest Kelly played...
13:16Mike?
13:17Dr. McQuarrie.
13:18That's right. It's two to two.
13:20It's down to the wire.
13:21Either one of you can get the box with one more question.
13:24Name one of the two alien races which...
13:27Jenny, for the box?
13:29Klingon.
13:30Right you are.
13:31Klingons or Romulans would have given you that box, Jenny.
13:39Let's go ahead and put an X on the board.
13:40Tough category, $1,700 in the pot.
13:44And just that one category is left.
13:46When it shuffles, we'll know what you're going to have
13:48to play with, Jenny.
13:50And it's baseball.
13:51I guess it looks like baseball.
13:53Jenny, if you can give me the answer to this question,
13:57you'll win your fifth game and a brand new car.
14:02Now, listen carefully.
14:03In 1941, this famous New York Yankee outfielder
14:08known as Jolton Joe hit safely in 56 straight games,
14:14a record which still stands today.
14:17For the game, a brand new car and totals in cash
14:22and prizes of $18,250.
14:25Name him.
14:26I hope it's DiMaggio.
14:28You have a brand new car.
14:30Oh.
14:31Oh, Jenny.
14:33Terrific.
14:37Oh, I know you're flipped out.
14:46You've got tears in your eyes
14:47and there's good reason for that.
14:48I remember earlier, you mentioned
14:49you were going to be putting the cash
14:51toward a down payment on a new car.
14:52Yeah, I don't have to. It's great.
14:53Looks like you can go do something else with that cash.
14:55Buy a horse trailer, maybe.
14:57That's right. That's exactly right.
14:59Let's take a look at the details of that brand new car.
15:01Charlie?
15:02Jenny, it's a brand new car.
15:05For your driving pleasure, it's the Mazda GLC.
15:08Compliments of tick, tack, go.
15:11Now, back to you, Jim.
15:14All right, Charlie.
15:15Let's see how well you do
15:16when you face the Dragon in a moment.
15:18Mike Carson, I wish we'd had more time
15:20to get to know you better.
15:21Hey, I had a great time anyway, Jim.
15:22Thanks a lot.
15:23Well, we're glad you did.
15:25We wish you the best of luck in the Peace Corps.
15:26We admire you for taking on that three-year task.
15:28Lots of luck and we have some nice parting gifts for you.
15:30We'll be back in a moment
15:32to see how well Jenny can do against the Dragon.
15:34Our current champ is on a roll.
15:40Jenny Bell has beaten five opponents.
15:42She's picked up a brand new car,
15:44and we'll talk about it in just a second.
15:45Are you ready to play the Dragon again?
15:46I sure am.
15:47Come on over here, Jenny.
15:54Oh, that is terrific.
15:55Oh, thanks.
15:56Congrats.
15:57Now, you are going, like we said before,
15:58a down payment on a car.
15:59You don't have to do that.
16:00What do you think, a horse trailer?
16:01Maybe.
16:02Maybe?
16:03Maybe.
16:04Give it some thought.
16:06You'll have a lot of time to think about it.
16:07In a moment, of course, that Dragon's going to be
16:08jumping around in there and hiding away.
16:10But, of course, for you to get started,
16:11you'd need to know what kind of prizes are in store.
16:12Charlie O'Donnell, tell her what they are.
16:13Well, you're going on a very special visit,
16:15and we hope you'll say hi to everyone.
16:17For instance, Jenny, say hi to friends
16:19who call in your absence.
16:20Just leave them a message
16:22on this dependable answering machine.
16:24Kodafone's 2530 answering machine,
16:26remote message retrieval from any touch-tone phone
16:28without a beeper and 7410 feature phone,
16:31a complete home communications package from Kodafone.
16:34Next, don't forget to say hi
16:35at the airline check-in counter
16:37when you hand them this handsome luggage.
16:39Amelia Earhart's super lightweight
16:41non-stop carry-on luggage,
16:43a casual, practical design with your lifestyle in mind,
16:45quality luggage you can count on,
16:47non-stop from Amelia Earhart.
16:49And finally, Jenny, if one of the natives
16:51asks if you're enjoying yourself,
16:53we hope you'll say hi,
16:55because that's the word for yes in Fabulous Japan.
16:59You'll visit the land of the rising sun
17:01where time-honored traditions
17:02blend with the latest high-tech innovations.
17:05You'll enjoy five days traveling by rail and cable car
17:07through this wonderland of temples and gardens,
17:09geishas and samurai,
17:11accompanied by travel programmers.
17:13You'll fly round-trip from Los Angeles to Japan
17:15via Northwest Orient Airlines
17:17in the comfort of their jumbo 747 jets
17:19from Northwest Orient.
17:21This, a high package is worth in cash and prizes over $4,550.
17:27Oh, we wish you the best of luck on this one.
17:29Thank you. I'd love to travel.
17:31Have you been to Japan yet? No, never have.
17:33I was there a long time ago when I was a kid.
17:35It's a terrific company. It's a country, actually.
17:37It's a neat place to visit.
17:39All right, everything's moving around.
17:40I think the Dragon is going to hide behind those numbers.
17:43He's hidden. He's there.
17:44He hopefully will not pounce on you.
17:46I know you've got some help from your mom and dad
17:48in the audience. Where are you going to go to start off?
17:50I'll ask Mom. What do you want?
17:51Mom, this time, what do you think?
17:53Five.
17:54Number five. Oh, let's keep our fingers crossed.
17:57Tax. Nice start.
18:00Keep it up. That's right.
18:02What do you want now?
18:04What?
18:05Eight, I think they said.
18:06Number eight? Okay.
18:08Eight, it will be...
18:10Eight, you're going to Japan.
18:12Oh, good for you.
18:15Eight.
18:17Was that ever fast or what?
18:20You just did...
18:21Let's take a look where that Dragon was hiding.
18:24Where was he? Anywhere down there behind nine.
18:27You just nailed it. Tick and tack.
18:28That's all you need. Great help.
18:29You got the dough, $1,000 automatically.
18:32A terrific trip to Japan.
18:34You know, fly across the Atlantic.
18:36You probably go up through Anchorage on your way.
18:38Stop over up there. You ever been there?
18:39No. It's a fun place as well.
18:42Look, right now, you're looking at a total of $22,800.
18:49Oh, I'm so excited.
18:51Oh, I know you're excited.
18:53Gee, we're going to take a break
18:54and come back in just a moment.

19:06and there's good reason.
19:08Is it hitchy you've got a car?
19:09Not yet.
19:11Probably, you know, maybe in a couple of days,
19:13it'll catch up to me.
19:14But right now, I'm still thinking,
19:16so what happens next?
19:19Like, let's go on to the next game
19:20and see if you can stay in a role.
19:21What's your favorite color?
19:23Red, probably.
19:24Would you want a red car?
19:25Maybe. Yeah?
19:26We'll see.
19:28Well, you're going to have some fun on your way to Japan.
19:29You said you've never been there before, the Far East.
19:31I was fortunate enough once to live over in Korea,
19:33South Korea for a year, spent some time in Japan.
19:35You'll have a lot of fun.
19:37So, we'll wish you lots of luck next time around.
19:39We'll meet your opponent, your latest challenger.
19:41And I'm Jim Caldwell. It's time for us to get out of here.
19:43See you next time.
19:47Carefree has such a great, fresh taste.
19:49Why would anyone chew gum with all that sugar?
