01:30What's that got to do with France?
01:32Well, my parents are both from Europe.
01:34Okay, so do you speak French?
01:36Oui, monsieur, bien sûr.
01:38I love that, you know, it makes me crazy.
01:41It makes me crazy.
01:42Is that the sexiest language in the world?
01:44What do you...
01:46Great.
01:47Sandra, do you also like to jump out of planes?
01:49Is there a reason for this?
01:51Excitement, why do you think I'm here today?
01:53I go for excitement in this life.
01:55I'm curious, however.
01:56I did it once.
01:57I don't know if I'd do it again,
01:58but I liked it the first time.
01:59That's what they say.
02:00People say when they're on Press Your Luck once,
02:01they go, well, I had once,
02:02but I don't know if I'd do it again.
02:04So you're here.
02:05Hopefully you'll avoid the whammies and make some money.
02:06I will.
02:07Good luck, Sandra.
02:08All right, thank you.
02:09Our second player, Peggy LaHaye.
02:10How are you, Peggy?
02:11Good, how are you, Peter?
02:12I'm fine, thank you.
02:13Peggy, you are going to get married?
02:15Yes, this August.
02:16Congratulations.
02:18So, and you need the money.
02:22I need the money to pay for the wedding.
02:24That's right.
02:25That's right.
02:26It's one of the great things.
02:27It's the last thing you pay for.
02:28The parents of your parents.
02:29The bride pays for the wedding.
02:31Right, so I'm going to help them out, right, by being here.
02:33That's why I work here.
02:34I have two daughters, so I have to make a lot of money.
02:36Yes, yes.
02:37It's expensive.
02:38Yes.
02:39All right, well, good luck, Peggy.
02:41Both here and at your wedding.
02:42All right, our third player's a champ, Mordecai Oflalo.
02:45Oflalo.
02:46Oflalo.
02:47What are you?
02:48Oflalo.
02:49Mordecai, for $16,192,
02:50I can call you anything I want.
02:51Right.
02:53You really have done quite well.
02:57I'm enjoying it.
02:58I don't know what I'm going to do with all this money.
03:00I've got some ideas.
03:01If you have any problems, over, guys,
03:03we have an entire staff that'll help you spend it.
03:05And probably a whole audience as well.
03:07You ready for some more today?
03:09Yes.
03:10All right, gang, give me a buzzing answer, please, Ben.
03:12Multiple choice answer, one spin.
03:14Here's the first question.
03:15According to a recent Gallup poll,
03:19what fraction of sexually experienced college women
03:22had their first sexual encounter while still...
03:25Sandra?
03:26One half.
03:27While still in high school.
03:28Is it one half, one quarter, or three quarters?
03:30Peggy?
03:31I'll say one quarter.
03:32What do you think, Mordecai?
03:33One quarter.
03:34It all began in high school.
03:35Say three quarters of the experienced gals.
03:43Yes.
03:49What have I missed?
03:53If you follow the blue bloods, you should know this one.
03:56What is the first name of the Princess of Wales?
03:59Diana.
04:00Sandra, wait till I call you, I'll hit you.
04:04You said Diana.
04:05All right, is the correct name Diana, Margaret, or Anne, Peggy?
04:09Diana.
04:10What do you think, Mordecai?
04:11Diana.
04:12Princess of Wales, also known as Princess Diana.
04:14Sandra, three.
04:17Peggy, a spin.
04:18Mordecai, a spin.
04:20You guys are eager.
04:21Here we go.
04:23This English mathematician devised his theory of universal gravitation
04:27after watching an apple fall from a tree.
04:29Mordecai?
04:30Newton.
04:31In his garden.
04:32Who was he?
04:33Is it Newton, Pasteur, or Pavlov?
04:34Sandra?
04:35Newton.
04:36Who is it, Peggy?
04:37Newton.
04:38That man who discovered gravity with Nepalese Sir Isaac Newton.
04:40Sandra, to four.
04:41Peggy, to two.
04:42And Mordecai, to four.
04:44I have the last one.
04:45Is that right?
04:46Yes.
04:47Here it comes.
04:48All right.
04:49Put on your thinking caps.
04:50What is the more common name for a lexicon?
04:53Sandra?
04:54A leprechaun.
04:56Is it a leprechaun, a computer, or a dictionary?
05:00Peggy?
05:01A dictionary.
05:02What do you think, Mordecai?
05:03A dictionary.
05:04Don't worry, Sandra.
05:05There's only about 14 million people saw you do that.
05:06Don't worry about it.
05:07A lexicon is a dictionary.
05:08No.
05:09Daniel, to four.
05:10Peggy, to three.
05:11Mordecai, to five.

09:00Don't go away.
09:40Are you ready for more questions?
09:41Yes.
09:42Yes.
09:43Because I am ready for more answers.
09:44Let's hope they match.
09:45Here's the first question.
09:46These days, the richest of rich in America made their money in three areas of the business
09:47world.
09:48Banking, insurance, and what's the third, Peggy?
09:49Real estate.
09:50Is it real estate, oil, or trade?
09:51Sandra?
09:52Real estate.
09:53The third big moneymaker is real estate.
09:56And Peggy gets three and Mordecai a spin.
10:01Next question.
10:02What fraction of all work absences are due to the common cold?
10:07Mordecai.
10:08Three quarters.
10:09Is it three quarters, one quarter or one half? Sandra?
10:13Three quarters.
10:14What do you think, Peggy?
10:15I'll say three quarters.
10:16The common cold causes half of all the work absences.
10:20No spins.
10:23Here's the next one.
10:25The United Nations has two official languages.
10:28One of them is English.
10:29What's the other, Sandra?
10:31Spanish.
10:32Is it Spanish, Russian or French, Peggy?
10:40Spanish.
10:41I'm sorry.
10:42I thought maybe you knocked it off.
10:43It's okay.
10:44Spanish.
10:45What do you think, Mordecai?
10:46French.
10:47The other UN language, Sandra, is French.
10:52Mordecai goes for two.
10:56This is known as the last question.
10:58I say that so Sandra can hear me.
11:01Everyone needs to get spins.
11:02Here it comes.
11:03Only you can prevent forest...
11:09It says here only you can prevent Forrest Tucker.
11:12No, no, no. I must be wrong.
11:13Only you can prevent forest fires
11:15was the motto from what conservation Mordecai?
11:24Okay, I'm gonna give it to multiple choice.
11:26To Sandra and Peggy
11:27because Mordecai couldn't spit it out.
11:29Only you can prevent forest fires
11:31was the motto from what conservation-minded creature?
11:33Is it Smokey the Bear, Mickey Mouse or Woodsy the Owl?
11:36Sandra?
11:37Smokey the Bear.
11:38Who is it, Peggy?
11:39Smokey the Bear.
11:40That was the motto of Smokey the Bear.
11:42Sandra's spin.
11:43Peggy to four.
11:44Mordecai saves it too.
11:46We'll be back for a very short round two.
12:13All right, gang.
12:14This is big bucks up here, you know what I mean?
12:16Over $100,000.
12:17That's one-tenth of a million.
12:18Yeah.
12:19Sound pretty good?
12:20Yeah.
12:21I figured it would.
12:22Sounds pretty good to me too.
12:23I don't get to take a shot at it, however.
12:25There are some whammies.
12:26Only one so far.
12:27That's about it.
12:28I hope that'll be enough, right?
12:29Me too.
12:30How about another trip?
12:31Wanna take another trip?
12:32Yeah.
12:33Well, let's listen to rap man Rod Roddy
12:35as he takes us to a little blissful trip in London.
12:37Rod?
12:38Thank you, Peter.
12:39There is a fabulous trip to London.
12:42Up on the big board today.

14:51I need another spin, I need some big bucks,
14:53I need anything, come on, let's go, let's go.
14:58Stop!
14:58Stop at $1,400.
15:00Back up to first place, $3,618, $418, more than Mordecai.
15:04You have first place.
15:06Can I stop for a minute and let you enjoy the first place?
15:09Yeah.
15:10While you got it?
15:10Yes.
15:11Who knows how long you'll have it.
15:12We'll find out.
15:13Sandra, $2,575, another big one.
15:16One spin, okay, this one's got to count,
15:18this has got to be worth something.
15:20Either big bucks or something with a spin, okay, here I go.
15:25It's coming, and...
15:28Ah!
15:30Stop!
15:31$1,250, $3,825.
15:35All right, was it good for you?
15:38Yes!
15:39Good, $3,825, first place, Mordecai, $3,200, here we go.
15:44All right, let's go, let's go.
15:49Let's go, I want that motorboat, I want that motorboat.
15:53Come on, let's get the motorboat and stop.
15:54Stop at a whammy.
15:56Oh, my God, you are in the proverbial horns of the dilemma.
16:08Sandra is a happy lady at this moment because she has $3,825,
16:11you have zippity-doo-dah, you have one spin left,
16:14you'll have to get $3,825 to tire more to beat her
16:18or something with an additional spin,
16:19or if you so choose, you may pass the spin to Sandra.
16:23If she whammies, Peggy will buy you lunch.
16:29Here we go, Sandra, Mordecai, $3,825.
16:33I need you now, big bucks, anything with an additional spin.
16:38Stop at $3,825, Mordecai, you're still alive.
16:42You have $3,825 as the magic number.
16:47Keep going, Sandra, you're done, $3,825, here we go.
16:52Stop at a billiard table, how much does that worth?
16:55That billiard table, Mordecai, has a value of $2,223.
17:00That is not enough.
17:01Sandra wins the game by $102 with $3,825.
17:08I bet it was 15.
17:09Congratulations, Sandra.
17:11We'll come back and talk to you after these words.
17:14We'll be back.
17:15Today's Big Touch-It-Up winner is Sandra with $3,825.
17:20Sandra, well done.
17:21You want to hear from the illustrious one?
17:23Tell you what you want, you want to hear from Rod?

18:25This will be done in 17 parts.
18:26Tune in tomorrow as well.
18:29I watched your Press Your Luck show today,
18:31the best game show in the USA.
18:33I got my coffee and lit up my cigarette,
18:36got into my easy chair and there I sat.
18:39I helped the contestants to win big money,
18:41but the whammy beats me, it sure is funny.
18:44I tell the contestants, don't press on,
18:46but pass that your good luck will not last.
18:48But they will just say one more time.
18:51Along comes the whammy and takes every dime.
18:53They sing so pretty, their little jingle,
18:56some sing in groups and some are single.
18:59He laughs at you as he makes you broke.
19:01He says, give me your money and that's no joke.
19:05The contestants hit him on the head as he passes by.
19:07The whammy says, I've got your gold mine in the sky.
19:11The contestant starts all over again.
19:13He is trying for the big win.
19:15He has a big sum built up now.
19:17One more time is heard and then pow.
19:20A big whammy has hit the board.
19:21He's taking away his winning score.
19:24Now the contestant is in grief and in hock.
19:26I wish he could have heard when I told him to stop.
19:29The whammy is so happy and sings on his merry way.
19:33But all in all, your game show sure has made my day.
19:38Well, thank you, Alice.
19:39Until next time, it's Peter Tumarkin.
19:41Thanks for pressing your luck.
19:43Bye-bye.
