00:00Why does a Mexican jumping bean jump?

00:03You'll find out when one of these three contestants wins the chance to drive home

00:07in this brand new Pontiac 6000STE in just a split second.

00:15And now, here's the star of our show, Monty Hall!

00:24Thank you very much and welcome to Split Second.

00:26We asked you a little question at the top of the show.

00:29A Mexican jumping bean jumps because there's a little caterpillar living inside.

00:34That's true.

00:35And when it moves, its house moves.

00:38That's right.

00:39And when my kids are home for the holidays, you should see my house move.

00:42And they're not exactly caterpillars.

00:45Welcome to Split Second.

00:46Our contestants compete to win cash and possibly a brand new car.

00:49We'll be giving a lot of cars away.

00:51Diane's tried a couple of times, hasn't won one.

00:53She's a returning champion.

00:54But we have to meet her and two new players to go along with her.

00:58Sandy, please.

00:59All right, Monty.

01:00First, we do have our returning champion, our high-tech forecaster,

01:03who does French silk painting as a hobby, Diane Craig.

01:09And then a man who's driving his boss crazy while he's between career moves, Robert Faves.

01:16And on your right, a lady who won an award for writing some very creative advertising copy,

01:23Shelley Ambrose.

01:25Well, welcome to all three of you.

01:26Diane is our returning champion.

01:29The latest bit of information I just heard is that you do French silk painting.

01:33Would you describe that for me?

01:34That's painting on silk with special dyes that are used.

01:36You outline them with sort of a sticky substance and then put the dyes inside.

01:42It's kind of like a patchwork on silk.

01:45It's very nice.

01:45It must be beautiful.

01:45It's finished.

01:46It must be nice.

01:46Farves and things like that.

01:46Well, I've seen a lot of it.

01:47Oh, yes.

01:47You can sprinkle salt and have a nice effect.

01:49Those wonderful French silk scarves that we see, that's the kind of work you're doing.

01:52Yeah.

01:52Well, that's terrific.

01:53Very attractive stuff.

01:54Robert, you're driving your boss crazy.

01:55What does that mean?

01:56Yes.

01:56I'm a chauffeur for an executive of an advertising and marketing firm.

02:00In between jobs.

02:01That's correct.

02:02What do you want?

02:02Why did you get a job with him?

02:04Um, because it's a very dynamic company.

02:07He's an exciting man to work for.

02:09Yeah, but I mean, wouldn't he like to take you out of the driver's seat and put you upstairs

02:12into an executive seat?

02:12Well, I'm hoping that's what'll happen.

02:15Are you influencing him as you drive along?

02:17I don't know how much I'm influencing him, but I hope I can move up.

02:21You know, the trouble is you might become too good a driver and then he'll want you there.

02:24You know, typecasting.

02:25That's what I'm afraid of.

02:27Well, then get a couple of flat tires, make a long turn, go through a light.

02:30Put a couple of dents in the car.

02:31Put a couple of dents in the car.

02:32And then when he fires you...

02:33Then apply for a management position.

02:37You're sure to get it.

02:39Shelley, I'm going to say a few things to you a little later on when we return with our

02:42second round, but now let's get into our game.

02:45Split Second is a fast-paced quiz game where there are three answers to every question and

02:51the players all try to get one answer apiece.

02:54And when they all three do it in the first round, they get $10 each.

02:57If only two of them come up with an answer, they get $25 each.

03:00But if only one person answers the question, that person picks up the whole $50 in this

03:04first round.

03:05You buzz in when you see the entire question on the screen, not before that, because you

03:09would lock yourself out.

03:10Are you ready for the first round?

03:11Shelley, Bob, Diane.

03:14Ronald Reagan isn't the only showbiz personality to get involved with politics.

03:17It seems that ladies like government work too.

03:19So I want you to name the movie star ladies who hold or held these positions in different

03:24governments.

03:24Look at the screen.

03:26One who's an ambassador, one who's a member of the parliament, and one who's a princess.

03:29Diane.

03:30The U.S. ambassador to Ghana is Shirley Temple Black.

03:32Shirley Temple Black.

03:33Right.

03:33She held two positions.

03:34Right.

03:35And Robert?

03:35The crown princess of Monaco was Grace Kelly.

03:38That's right.

03:38And Shelley?

03:39And the member of Greek parliament was Melina McCurry.

03:41All three of you are right.

03:42All three of you get $10.

03:43Popular vacation resorts draw crowds of tourists to popular European islands.

03:50Here are three of those vacation islands.

03:52Pick one name the country it belongs to.

03:54Look at the screen.

03:55There's Corsica, Sardinia, and Majorca.

03:57Diane.

03:58Majorca, Spain.

03:59Correct.

03:59Shelley?

04:00Corsica, Italy.

04:01No, I'm sorry.

04:02Robert?

04:02Corsica, France.

04:03Correct.

04:03And Sardinia, Italy.

04:05So Diane and Robert get $25 each.

04:07And we turn to music.

04:08We've become accustomed to various unusual names for famous rock groups over the years

04:15like Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

04:17I'll give you part of the names of three other groups.

04:20You pick one and complete it.

04:21Look at the screen.

04:22They are Big Brother, Backman, and Credence, and Diane.

04:27Credence, Clearwater Revival.

04:28Credence, Clearwater Revival is right.

04:30Shelley?

04:30Bachman, Turner, Overdrive.

04:32Right.

04:32And Robert?

04:33Big Brother and the Blues Band.

04:35No, Big Brother and the Holding Company.

04:38That's the one that you're going to work for when you influence your boss.

04:40Diane and Shelley get $25 each.

04:46Now, whoever came up with the names of various animals have the same sense of humor as those

04:50rock bands, because the names I'm going to show you are kind of silly.

04:52Anyhow, pick a silly name and tell me what type of animal it refers to.

04:55Look at the screen.

04:56What's a wahoo, a wapiti, and a whooper?

04:59Shelley?

05:00A wapiti is a bird?

05:02No, it isn't.

05:04That's all I can say right now.

05:05Robert?

05:05A wapiti is an antelope or an elk?

05:08Yes, it's in that family.

05:09A deer, antelope, elk, family.

05:10Good.

05:11Diane?

05:11A wahoo is a kangaroo?

05:13A wahoo is, no, it would sound like one, but a wahoo is a fish, and a whooper is a swan.

05:17And so, Robert, all by yourself.

05:19You pick up $50.

05:20And you have the lead over, Diane Shelley Estate.

05:24Many children's stories and songs contain a trio of characters who are involved with

05:27one central character.

05:29So I'll give you the three of these trios.

05:32You pick one group, tell me what the central character is that they were concerned with.

05:36Look at the screen.

05:37We know the three bears and the three blind mice and the three little pigs.

05:39What was the central character, Diane?

05:40Three bears with Goldilocks.

05:42That's right, Shelley.

05:43Three little pigs, the big bad wolf.

05:44And Robert?

05:45The lady with the carving knife.

05:47Yes, good enough.

05:48And she was the farmer's wife, but the lady with the carving knife.

05:50So you all are right, and you get $10 a piece.

05:56One of the biggest sports in the world today is automobile racing, and the drivers have become

06:00international stars.

06:01So I'll give you the last names of three great car racers.

06:03You pick one, give me his first name.

06:05Look at the screen.

06:06Andretti, Lauda, and Petty.

06:08Robert?

06:09Mario Andretti.

06:10Correct.

06:10Diane?

06:11Richard Petty.

06:11Richard Petty, right.

06:12And the third one, Shelley?

06:13Nikki Lauda.

06:14Good for you.

06:14Three of you, I did well in racing.

06:16You get $10 each.

06:19Foods that we eat often carry the name of a specific place.

06:22So I'm going to give you three sets of specific places.

06:24Pick a set.

06:25Tell me what edible type of food it describes.

06:27Look at the screen.

06:29Valencia or Bermuda, Brazil, and Diane?

06:32Valencia oranges.

06:33Valencia oranges, correct.

06:34Robert?

06:35Bermuda, brown Spanish, or onions?

06:37Right.

06:37Shelley?

06:38Brazil nut.

06:39And how?

06:40Why did you look at me when you said nut like that?

06:42$10 a piece.

06:45Let's talk our own language.

06:46I'm going to give you three definitions.

06:48You give me the one word that each defines.

06:50And here they are.

06:51The definitions are...

06:53Words that mean the same, words of opposite meanings, and words sounding alike with different meanings.

06:58Robert?

06:58Words that mean the same are synonyms?

07:00That is correct.

07:01Diane?

07:01Words of opposite meanings are antonyms?

07:03Right.

07:03And the last one, sounding alike with different meanings, is a homonym.

07:08Oh, yes.

07:09And Diane and Robert get $25 each.

07:13At this point, Robert has the lead.

07:14Diane second, Shelley third.

07:15Humphrey Bogart has become a cult figure, and according to a TV guide poll, three of his

07:19films are among the ten most played films on TV.

07:23I'll name his three leading ladies in these films.

07:25Pick one and name the film.

07:27Look at the screen.

07:27Now, the leading ladies are Ingrid Bergman, Mary Astor, and Catherine Hepburn.

07:32Diane, what was the film?

07:33Ingrid Bergman, Casablanca.

07:35Yes.

07:35Robert?

07:36Catherine Hepburn, The African Queen.

07:37Yes.

07:38Shelley?

07:39Mary Astor, The Maltese Falcon.

07:40You people know your movies, and you each score $10 at the end of round one.

07:46At the end of round one, Robert, $150.

07:48Diane, right behind him with $125.

07:49And Shelley, in striking distance with $75, will be right back with round two.
