FunTranscript
00:00Three of these boxes will break the $5,000 bank.
00:12Is this one of them, or is this the one, or this one?
00:17We'll find out in a moment in this game of Hide and Seek, as these nine celebrities,
00:23Nick Godier, Alice Gostin, Kathy Rigby, Robert Hedges, Jack Carter, Joan Collins, Liz Torey,
00:39Lawrence Hilton Jacobs, and Avery Shriver, all join us in playing Break the Bank.
00:50Now, meet our host, Tom Kennedy.
00:55Hello there. Thank you. Hiya, guys. Hey, here we go.
01:03What a beautiful, and what a beautiful audience we have with us today. So happy to see you.
01:08Much bigger audience than yesterday. And now, let's meet our two players.
01:12Ernie Anderson, would you do the honors, please?
01:14And sir, our current champion, who broke the bank for $6,000, Dorothea Guss.
01:23And her opponent, formerly in the Air Force, now a writer, Frank Stewart.
01:30Welcome back to you, Dorothea, and welcome to you, Frank Stewart, formerly in the Air Force, now a writer.
01:35Right. Okay, Frank, good to have you with us. Here is a quick explanation, folk, of Break the Bank.
01:41Oh, yes, indeed. Easy for me to say. Here's what a typical board might look like and sound like.
01:46All the same denominations of money are grouped together, and they touch each other along one of the sides.
01:50The five money bags are scattered all over. And the wild box, that can be anywhere.
01:54It can be used for any value. Get three of the same, and you win.
01:57Get three money bags, and you break the bank, which we're starting today at $5,000.
02:01We'll play that game right after these words. Don't you go away now.
02:12Of course, you remember how we play. If a player misses a question, the opponent gets the box,
02:17unless that box leads to a win. If a box leads to a win, a player must earn it.
02:22By answering a question with every new game, we raise the bank by $250.
02:27And we're starting today's game with our new champion, or our new challenger, I should say, Frank Stewart.
02:32Would you pick a box, Frank? And away we go.
02:34Let's try a number eight.
02:35Number eight for Jack Carter and Robert Hedges. And it's a $300 box.
02:39Hey, Jack, according to studies, if your child squints, blinks, frowns, and scowls a lot,
02:44it usually means he needs something. Needs what?
02:47A change of diaper would help. Glasses.
02:51Robert Hedges.
02:53I would say, not being a father myself, but probably be more vitamin E.
02:58Frank Stewart.
02:59Glasses.
03:00Glasses is correct. You have a $300 box. And away you go, Frank.
03:05Let's try number seven.
03:07Number seven for Kathy Rigby and Robert Hedges. And number seven is another $300 box.
03:12And Kathy, here is your question.
03:14According to studies, the average family uses two and a half tons of something a year.
03:19Two and a half tons of what, Kathy?
03:21Well, I know we use a little more, but that's food.
03:24All right. Robert Hedges.
03:27Coal.
03:28Frank?
03:29Food.
03:30Food is it. Yes, sir. You have two $300 boxes.
03:37These decisions. Number six.
03:39Number six. And he's looking for the third $300 box.
03:42It's for Dick Gautier and Robert Hedges. And if it is the $300 box, you can win the game at $900.
03:47Could we see box number six, please? It's a money bag.
03:49The bank's at $5,000, Frank.
03:52No, I'm going to turn it back.
03:54All right. That's your option, sir.
03:58And I'll go for number two.
04:01Number two. Looking for the $300 box. It's for Kathy Rigby and Alice Goseley.
04:05Could we see box number two? And it's a blank. Over to you, Dorothea.
04:09I'd like to try number three, please.
04:12Number three for Jack Carter and Alice Goseley. What did she find in box number three?
04:16And she found the $300 box. This could be for a block.
04:19All right, Jack. The largest of our great lakes is Lake Superior.
04:23How many states border on it?
04:25On Lake Superior? One.
04:28Alice Goseley? Three.
04:31Dorothea? I'd say three.
04:33Three is right. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
04:38You have blocked Frank in that category.
04:42I'd like to try number one, please.
04:45Number one for Dick Gautier and Alice Goseley. Could we see box number one?
04:48And there's a money bag, Dorothea.
04:50The bank's at $5,000.
04:52I think I'm going to keep it.
04:54All right. You now have one money bag.
04:56Get two more of those and you break the bank.
04:58Frank Stewart, back to you now.
05:00Let's try number 13.
05:04Number 13 for Jack Carter and Joan Collins.
05:07And could we see box... It's a $200 box.
05:09All right, Jack. In the movie thriller, Madam X,
05:12what crime was Lana Turner accused of?
05:15Lana Turner was accused of stuffing her bra with hamburger helper.
05:21She ran out of Silly Putty.
05:23Kidnapping. Accused of kidnapping.
05:26Taking a person, child.
05:28Joan?
05:30That was a Ross Handy film, I think.
05:32And I think she was accused of murder.
05:35Frank? Murder.
05:37Murder is it. Yeah. $200 box for you.
05:41Look at this.
05:45Number 14.
05:47And of course, everyone knows the wild card is still at large.
05:49And if he finds that, he could win the game.
05:51And this is for Liz and Joan, but it's a $200 box.
05:54And Liz, here is your question.
05:56Who spoke these famous words?
05:58Mr. Watson, come here. I want you.
06:00Oh, Mae West.
06:03Actually, it was Alexander Graham Bell
06:05when he spilled acid on himself.
06:07Joan Collins.
06:09Sherlock Holmes calling his assistant.
06:11Frank?
06:16Oh, my goodness.
06:21Alexander Graham Bell.
06:23That's right, when he spilled acid on himself.
06:28You have two $200s, two $300s, and the wild card,
06:31the wild box is still at large.
06:33Number 15.
06:35Number 15, if it's a $200 box or the wild card,
06:38he could win the game.
06:40It's for Avery and for Joan.
06:42Can we see box number 15?
06:44And he found a blank.
06:46Dorothea's back in the game.
06:48I think I'd like to try number nine, please, for the block.
06:51All right, number nine.
06:53She wants the block, and that's in the $200 category,
06:56but she found a blank.
06:58Frank?
07:00Hmm.
07:02Let's try number 10, see if it's the wild card.
07:04All right, let's see if it is.
07:06All right, hedges, and can we see box number 10?
07:08And it is the wild card.
07:10But you must earn it.
07:14If he comes up with the right answer,
07:16he can win the game and $900.
07:18Avery?
07:20What?
07:22If you were vice president of the United States,
07:24how much would your annual salary be,
07:26vice president of the United States?
07:28To the penny?
07:30$12.
07:32It would be $65,600.
07:36And $25.
07:38Robert Hedges?
07:40$155,000.
07:42Frank, this is for the game,
07:44and $900 and a special prize.
07:46What is your answer, Frank?
07:48$155,000.
07:50No, sir.
07:52$65,625 is the answer,
07:54and that automatically goes over to Dorothea.
07:56Dorothea now has,
07:58by that inheritance,
08:00two $300 boxes,
08:02and two money bags.
08:04I'd like to go for number 6, please.
08:06Number 6 for Dorothea,
08:08for Dick and Robert this time.
08:10Number 6 it is.
08:12Just a second, hold on.
08:14Did you say 6 or 16?
08:16I said 6.
08:186, all right. Box number 6 for Dick Gaultier
08:20and Robert Hedges.
08:22And could we see box number 6?
08:24And it is a...
08:26Hey!
08:28It's a money bag!
08:30It's a money bag!
08:32Oh, Dorothea!
08:56How quickly the game can turn around.
08:58She inherited the wild box
09:00and then she hits the third money bag
09:02and she broke the bank at $5,000.
09:04And we have to say goodbye to Frank Stewart
09:06who came very, very close there.
09:08But we have some very nice gifts for you backstage, Frank,
09:10and hope you enjoyed playing the game.
09:12Sure did.
09:14All right.
09:16Well, young lady.
09:18Dorothea and her husband
09:20are both working,
09:22trying to save enough money to buy a home,
09:24and she now has $11,000.
09:26She has won on this show.
09:28She's won on this show.
09:32And you can buy the whole neighborhood, right?
09:34All right.
09:36We'll put another $5,000 in that bank
09:38and start a new game after these words.
09:52Are you smiling, Dorothea?
09:54Yes, I just wanted to check.
09:56Dorothea Gus is our champ.
09:58She has $11,000.
10:00Let's see an $11,000 smile.
10:02Oh, that's good enough.
10:04All right, let's meet your new challenger.
10:06Ernie, would you introduce her, please?
10:08Certainly, sir.
10:10He's in publishing and his hobby is photography.
10:12Gary McClintock.
10:14Sorry, Gary.
10:16Welcome aboard.
10:18All right, Gary.
10:20And you're a single man, huh, Gary?
10:22You know how to play our game.
10:24$11,000 box.
10:26And, Jack, here is your question.
10:28He was the foe of Ming the Merciless,
10:30the companion of Dr. Zarko,
10:32and the sweetheart of Dale Arden.
10:34Who was he?
10:36It was not the uncle.
10:38It was not the tante.
10:40It was Henry Kissinger.
10:42It was not Henry Kissinger.
10:44It was Captain Midnight.
10:46All right. Robert?
10:48Flash Gordon.
10:50Gary?
10:52Gary Gus.
10:54And she picks the next box.
10:56I'd like to try number seven, please.
10:58Number seven for Kathy Rigby and Robert Hedges.
11:00And it's a blank. Back now to Gary.
11:02Number six.
11:04Number six for Dick Godier and Robert Hedges.
11:06It's a $200 box.
11:08And, Dick, here is your question.
11:10You are involved in the Battle of the Bulge.
11:12Exactly where are you?
11:14I'm in Orson Welles' rumpus room.
11:16No, I'm not.
11:18I didn't mean...
11:20No, what I really am is...
11:22I'm in Belgium. Belgium.
11:24Robert?
11:26I would say it's in France.
11:28No, sir. Belgium.
11:30And another $200 box.
11:32That one goes over to Dorothea.
11:34She now has a 200 and a 100.
11:36I'd like to try number 12, please.
11:38Number 12 for Kathy Rigby and Joan Collins.
11:40Can we see box number 12?
11:42It's a $200 box.
11:44And, Kathy, here is your question.
11:46Something a woman has
11:48moves 8 to 10 times a minute
11:50more than a man's.
11:52What is it?
11:54Oh, that's easy. It's her mouth.
11:56Alright. That is easy.
11:58Joan?
12:00Well, women are very emotional,
12:02more emotional than men,
12:04so I would say it was her heart.
12:06I'd say it's her heart.
12:08It is her heart.
12:10You now have two $200 boxes.
12:12Dorothea?
12:14I'd like to try number 11, please.
12:16She knows they touch on at least one side,
12:18and this can win the game for her.
12:20And $600, it's for Dick Gautier and Joan Collins.
12:22Dick, which bridge
12:24has the longest suspension span
12:26in the world?
12:28I believe that's the
12:30something like Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
12:32Joan Collins?
12:34I think it's
12:36the Tacoma-Washington Bridge.
12:38Dorothea, for the game,
12:40and $600 and a special prize.
12:42What is your answer?
12:44I'd like to say the...
12:46Did he say the Verracano?
12:48No, he said Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
12:50I'd like to take that one.
12:52You would like to say that? You are right.
12:54You've won the game. $600.
12:56$600.
12:58$600.
13:00$600.
13:02$600.
13:04$600.
13:06That, of course, connects Brooklyn to Staten Island,
13:08and it's very easy to say it's the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
13:10And, Dorothea, Gus wins another game.
13:12Gary McClintock, and we have some very nice prizes
13:14for you backstage. And it was a pleasure meeting you, sir.
13:16It was nice being here.
13:20Dorothea adds another $600
13:22and another prize.
13:24Ernie Anderson, what do we have for Dorothea?

14:00goes into the bank,
14:02and you'll play for $5,250
14:04in our next game after this.
14:06All right.

14:16with cash and prizes totaling $12,390
14:18on my right, and on my left,
14:20here is a new challenger.
14:22Ernie Anderson, would you introduce him, please?
14:24Tom, he's a freight manager whose interests
14:26are baseball and football.
14:28Bob Swick.
14:32Happy to have you with us, Robert.
14:34And you're a single man.
14:36Right.
14:38So baseball and football are not your only interests.
14:40Right.
14:42Aw, shame.
14:44Pitsy.
14:46I'd like number two, please.
14:48Number two for Kathy Rigby and Alice Gosley.
14:50It's a $300 box.
14:52Kathy, approximately how many years ago

14:56through the desert?
14:58Approximately 3,500 years ago.
15:00Alice Gosley.
15:022,000 years ago.
15:04Bob Swick.
15:06I'll go with 300.
15:083,000.
15:10Yeah, 3,500 is correct.
15:12Yes, sir, you have a $300 box.
15:16Yes, Bob.
15:18I'll go with number three, please.
15:20Number three for Jack Carter and Alice Gosley.
15:22It's a blank.
15:24Dorothea.
15:26I'd like to try
15:28number seven, please.
15:30Number seven for Kathy Rigby and Robert Hedges.
15:32Can we see box number seven?
15:34It's a $300 box.
15:36And Kathy, here is your question.
15:38Who wrote the French revolutionary story
15:40The Tale of Two Cities?
15:42That was Charles Dickens.
15:44Robert Hedges.
15:46It was Victor Hugo.
15:48Dorothea.
15:50I think it was Charles Dickens.
15:52You think right.
15:54You have a $300 box.
15:56Now I'd like to try number four, please.
15:58Number four for Alice and Alice Gosley.
16:00And box number four is a $100 box.
16:02And Liz, here is your question.
16:04In what hobby would you use a red light,
16:06a fix, and a squeegee?
16:08That's the Avon lady going...
16:14Actually, it's copper engraving.
16:18Copper engraving.
16:20All right, Alice Gosley.
16:22Copper engraving.
16:24No, no, no. Photography.
16:26I'm going to take a guess and say photography.
16:28That's right. Photography is it.
16:30Continue, Dorothea.
16:34I'd like to try number five, please.
16:36Number five for Avery Schreiber and Alice Gosley.
16:38And it's another $100 box.
16:40And Avery,
16:42if your wife had twins,
16:44you would have a pair of twins.
16:46If she had triplets, you would have a trio of triplets.
16:48Now what would you have if she had quintuplets?
16:52A cardiac arrest.
16:56And a big woman for a while.
16:58Quintuplets, yeah.
17:00You'd have a set.
17:02A set of quintuplets.
17:04Alice? Like a bunch of bananas.
17:06You'd have a yolk.
17:08Dorothea?
17:10I think you'd have a set.
17:12That's right.
17:14You would have a set of quintuplets.
17:16A matching set.
17:20Oh, well, you'd have a hernia.
17:22Now you have a pair of $100 boxes.
17:26Okay, I'm going to try
17:28number 10 for the win, please.
17:30Yes, if this is the third $100 box,
17:32you can win the game, $300,
