01:30Yeah, you've got to go for it. Shoot first, think later.
01:32Thinking is kind of the whole point. It's trivia.
01:35Kara, a Protestant girl I'd had a fling with. We went to different schools, separated by religion. Not quite star-crossed lovers, but crucifix-crossed. Or cross-crossed.
01:46Trelaw time? No, we're in Halifax.
01:49Right, again. Nice one, Critch.
01:51Trivia. Sports for nerds. And I was the Gretzky of geeks.
01:55I still can't believe my baby's gonna be on the TV.
01:59Shh.
02:00Our school was facing Kara's in the regionals. I would finally be on TV, but I'd have to crush my crush.
02:06I don't know. I still feel a little weird about this. You sure it's okay?
02:09It's just a game, silly. We can't let it get between us. Promise?
02:13It's just a bit of fun.
02:15Just a bit of fun. Deal.
02:17Besides, we don't have a chance.
02:19You're the smartest boy I know.
02:20On December 7th, 43 B.C., a great Roman orator was assassinated for having offended Mark Antony in his speeches. Quickly.
02:29Cicero.
02:29Oh, answer. Okay. We're looking for Cicero.
02:32Oh, see? You're the smartest.
02:36Kara! Supper!
02:38Gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow?
02:40Sorrow? Hurting is such sweet, sweet sorrow that I shall see.
02:47Finally. Just keep off the phone, will you? Sweeps week.
02:51What's sweeps week?
02:53It's when they count the ratings. One good week or put VOCM in the top spot.
02:57I'll have contests, cash prizes. If they call you and you say, I live in VOCM country, you can win $59.
03:04Yeah, but you can't win, Pop. We're related.
03:07Barely.
03:09Dixier.
03:10I'm after work.
03:11Sweet. Jesus, you're reeks. I can practically see the cologne.
03:15Tricero Noir. Nice.
03:18I'm doing a remote live from the Strand Lounge tonight.
03:21Sure you were working all day. Mike, you got that boy run ragged.
03:25Sweeps week is war.
03:30A bar. He's still a baby.
03:33I'll get it. I live in VOCM country. Pop, will you put that down to get us all arrested? For you, Mark. Just be quick. Here.
03:46Uh, hello?
03:48Hey.
03:49Questions were dead easy, right? We could have kicked that school's ass.
03:53You can't win. You're my father.
03:55Will you keep it down? Your son's on the phone.
03:57Yeah, I guess.
03:58I called earlier, but it was busy.
03:59How do I know? Your mother dated lots of men before me.
04:03You're embarrassing, Mark.
04:05Look, it's a bad time. Talk to you at school tomorrow.
04:08Oh, okay. Yeah.
04:12Love is not a trivial pursuit.
04:15All right, kids. What is Canada's national sport?
04:27Hockey.
04:28Incorrect.
04:29Lacrosse. Trick question.
04:31Fox. I'm team captain.
04:33Never buzz in unless I give you the nod.
04:35Can't believe I said yes to this.
04:37All right, kids. This is serious.
04:39The whole province will be watching.
04:40So whatever you do, don't think about that.
04:44Or you'll freak out.
04:46No, I won't.
04:47Yes, you will.
04:49No, I won't.
04:50Because I don't care.
04:51That's not a toy. You'll break it.
04:54Then whoever made it sucks.
04:56I did.
04:58Mark, control your players.
05:00I'd like to see him try.
05:03He has a point.
05:04Named a fictional detective created by Arthur...
05:08Uh, Sherlock Holmes.
05:09Oh, awesome.
05:11A TV studio is full of distractions.
05:14It's just a bit of fun.
05:16You need laser-sharp focus to be lights and cameras and...
05:21Your girlfriend?
05:23Gross.
05:24I meant Kira.
05:26What kind of friend mentions the girl you like
05:28in front of the other girl you like?
05:32Attention. All students to the gymnatorium.
05:34All students to the gymnatorium.
05:37That's never good.
05:38Ma, get up. It's almost 11.
05:49Oh, you little frigger.
05:51Oh, my.
05:58I guess he doesn't need you anymore either, does he?
06:01Oh, my.
06:02I guess he doesn't need you anymore.
06:02I guess he doesn't need you anymore.
06:06Stick around, Mike Critch is next with the news.
06:12Quarter two, quarter past and on the hour.
06:16Jeez, how much news do you need?
06:18On VOCM!
06:23Thank God you're here, Mike, boy.
06:26I thought I was gonna puke.
06:29Young fellas dead to the world.
06:32Got dragged off last night.
06:34Women loves a man in uniform, what?
06:36Or so, here's.
06:39Here's the money for the mad dash for the cash.
06:41Now, the last thing we need is a winner.
06:43We only got $590 in prize money to last the whole week.
06:46That's 491s and 100s.
06:49So, for the love of God, hide the 100 at the bottom of the stack.
06:53I can't do math, Mike, boy. I'm still loaded.
06:55Okay.
06:59Mike, your father called. You need to call home.
07:06I live in VOCM country.
07:11Hello.
07:11Ha, you can't win the contest.
07:13I already did.
07:14You called me from the radio station and I answered correctly.
07:18So, you owe me $59.
07:22We're not on the air.
07:23That's not mentioned in the rules and regs.
07:26I could sue.
07:32Disgrace.
07:32We must pray that our team will be victorious against the Protestant heretics, children.
07:44We were treated like Apollo astronauts, but would we walk on the moon or have a failure to launch?
07:50It is written, their Protestant God will fail them.
07:54Many of them will stumble.
07:56They will fall and be broken.
07:59Isaiah, age 15.
08:01Reach for the top, children.
08:04Reach for heaven.
08:07We're making memories, kids.
08:08Win or lose, it doesn't matter.
08:11Let's hope for a win, though.
08:13In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, dear God, lots going on in the world,
08:21but if you could focus for a bit on a child's game of trivia, that would be very cool.
08:26Amen.
08:27This was no longer just a bit of fun.
08:35Better listening, VOCM.
08:36Mike Rich speaking.
08:37Mike, it's Linda.
08:39You sick?
08:40Uh, no, I'm fine.
08:42And yourself?
08:43I wanted to throw up.
08:45Listen to me.
08:45That's not very sexy, is it?
08:47Excuse me?
08:48I just woke up.
08:49I never even knew you left.
08:50My whole room smells like drag car noir.
08:52I'm going to chew the face right off you when I see you, yeah?
08:54I think you have the wrong number.
08:57Why are you being weird?
08:58One and done, are you?
08:59Well, try and burn me off, and I'll rip the head off you.
09:11Home early.
09:12Yeah.
09:13I don't feel so good.
09:15Mm-hmm.
09:17Never slept at all by the looks of your bed.
09:21So, where were you at last night?
09:24Oh, bar closed at two.
09:27I know we had to be at the station for five, so I'm standing up crashing the dicks.
09:31Listen, Bucko.
09:34You live here, you sleep here.
09:37You hear me?
09:38Mom, Mom, it's my job.
09:39As long as you live in my house, you will abide by my rules.
09:44And now it's time to play What's in the Teapot.
09:59Lucky caller number five, you're on the air.
10:03Hello.
10:04I live in VOCM country.
10:07Now, the riddle is, poor people have it, rich people need it.
10:11If you eat it, you will die.
10:13What is it?
10:14Nothing.
10:15Well, well, I, um, uh, uh, nothing.
10:19That's right.
10:20The answer is nothing.
10:23You win $50.
10:25Good for you, Pop.
10:27$50?
10:28Pop.
10:30What's your name, caller?
10:32Well, uh, well, my name is Patrick Crick.
10:36We seem to have lost you, caller.
10:41I swear to God, Dick, if my father wins a prize in the station, he'll have your hide.
10:49And my son better not get lucky either.
10:53None but the nurse.
11:02A real TV studio.
11:05The whole province would see me win my prize.
11:08Kara's heart.
11:10I don't think we're ready for this.
11:12Kara told me I'm the smartest guy she knows.
11:14It's in the bag.
11:17Hey, kids.
11:18Welcome to Reach for the Top.
11:19You're, you're, uh, you're, uh...
11:23Call me, Bill.
11:26And you're...
11:27He's Mr. Chafe, our coach.
11:29I knew that.
11:30Mark Critch, team captain.
11:33Huge fan.
11:35Oh, fantastic.
11:37All right, here we go.
11:37Have you met the other team yet?
11:41We already know each other.
11:44Hello.
11:45My name's Kara.
11:46I'm the team captain.
11:49Let's keep this professional.
11:52Hope you like losing.
11:54Fox, no, it's just a bit of fun.
11:56Okay, so which team wants the top?
12:02Oh, we want the bottom.
12:08Chad, this is Mark.
12:10Chad's the smartest boy I know.
12:11Hi.
12:13Wait, what?
12:14Okay, kids, let's take a photograph, okay?
12:16Right over here.
12:19That was cold.
12:20It's just a bit of fun.
12:21He's hot.
12:24What?
12:25Right over here.
12:27My mind was as blank as, uh, uh, wait, I know this one.
12:32Uh...
12:36Stop by the Strand Lounge for the wildest night in town.
12:39It sounds like Sodom and Gomorrah down there.
12:42Spin the wheel of misfortune and you can win a free small fish and chips.
12:46Wow.
12:47Practically Vegas.
12:48Above the knee, drink for free.
12:50No cover for the ladies.
12:52Now, there are certain things a mother shouldn't know.
12:56Enter the mad dash for the cash and you can win $590.
13:00Uh, you know what?
13:02Maybe we should go down there ourselves, see what the man's up to.
13:05You think?
13:06What, you want him to end up like Dick Dumpy?
13:08Oh, no.
13:09Now, get your keys.
13:15Even the top of her head was pretty.
13:17Hey, Kara?
13:19Kara?
13:20You don't look so good.
13:24Okay, five, four, three, two, one.
13:30Well, good evening and welcome to Reach for the Top.
13:32This evening we welcome these two schools.
13:35The students of Cushion Academy.
13:37And the students of St. Bridget's.
13:43Players, are you ready?
13:44Well, let's begin.
13:47Who was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic?
13:52Lindbergh.
13:53That is correct.
13:54Beginner's luck.
13:55How many months have the letter R in them?
13:58Eight.
13:59That is correct.
13:59What is the capital of the Philippines?
14:02Uh, Saigon?
14:05Dude, what?
14:06Incorrect.
14:07Cashin.
14:07Manila.
14:09That is correct.
14:10Which NHL team won the Stanley Cup in...
14:13Uh, the Edmonton Oilers.
14:15No, that is incorrect.
14:16A question for Cashin now.
14:18Which NHL team won the Stanley Cup in the 1983 finals?
14:22The New York Islanders.
14:23That is correct.
14:24I've seen a lot of TV deaths, but my own was the bloodiest.
14:30On what day did the storming of the Bastille occur?
14:38A Protestant class destroyer is off our bow, Captain.
14:46Captain?
14:47Shields are down.
14:49Fire back.
14:50Not yet.
14:52We can reason with her.
14:54Your human emotion of love is most illogical, Captain.
14:59They're hailing us.
15:00Put it on the screen.
15:08Surrender or die.
15:10This is your final warning.
15:18I still believe there's some good in you.
15:23Catholics, Protestants.
15:25We both have hearts.
15:27We both have emotions.
15:29We both have love.
15:38Search your heart.
15:41Fire.
15:45Alaska?
15:46Correct.
15:47St. Bridget's is on the board.
15:49Yes.
15:50And with St. Bridget's with 10 points, we'll be back after this.
15:55What the frig?
15:56Are you taking a dive for her?
15:58I wish I was.
16:00No, I wasn't taking a dive.
16:02I was drowning.
16:03Welcome to the Strand Lounge.
16:10I'm Dick Dunphy from VOCM Magic Mornings.
16:14How you doing, St. John's?
16:16Give it up for Mike Campbell.
16:19All right, all right.
16:21Who wants to spit?
16:22Stupid mess.
16:23I am joined tonight by one of our nursing students.
16:27Yeah!
16:30You're better looking than you are on the radio.
16:32Are you?
16:34Are you ready to spin the wheel of misfortune?
16:38Yeah!
16:38Yeah!

17:16Back off, missus.
17:17I seen them first.
17:19Hmm.
17:23The whole province was watching,
17:25but I only had eyes for one girl.
17:28Snap out of it.
17:30That's why you didn't care about this.
17:32I don't.
17:33I'm not about to get beaten up on TV.
17:38I thought I could do this all on my own,
17:40but I can't.
17:44Richie?
17:46You know music.
17:47Tina, you got science.
17:49Fox, you know sport.
17:51And what do you know?
17:54I'm gonna shut up.
17:55Good.
17:56You touched that buzzer again,
17:57and I swear to God I will break your friggin' fingers.
18:00Two, one.
18:04And we're back with the final round.
18:06It's a Canadian question this time, folks.
18:08How many provinces have a smaller population
18:11than the city of Toronto?
18:13Seven?
18:14No, that's incorrect.
18:15St. Bridget's.
18:16Eight?
18:17That is correct.
18:19Yes.
18:20Music now.
18:22Listen to this classical piece
18:23and name the composer.
18:33Tchaikovsky?
18:34That is correct.
18:35That is correct.
18:35It was the 1812 Overture.
18:37Yes.
18:38Bite me a prize.
18:41The only thing better than winning
18:43is watching your friends win.
18:46All right, showtime.
18:48Time for the mad dash for the cash.
18:51We've got 590 bucks in the box.
18:55We've got 590 bucks in the box.
19:00One lucky customer will have 30 seconds
19:03to collect as much cash as they can.
19:05Who wants to play?
19:07Who wants to play?
19:07Who wants to play?
19:09This fellow knows the biggest lady's first cousin.
19:11Out of my way.
19:12Move it.
19:13Music.
19:14Nice.
19:15Mom, you can't be here.
19:18I will go where I bloody well like.
19:20And I will find out what you're up to
19:22supposing I have to come here every night.
19:25Please, you're embarrassing me.
19:28Oh, well then.
19:34I keep doing a little while.
19:36No, we can't.
19:37We can't.
19:38It's just a wind machine.
19:40What?
19:40Hey.
19:42Start the clock.
19:46Here.
19:46Look at him go there.
19:51He asked for it, didn't he now?
19:53He asked for it.
19:54Oh, ho.
19:57Hey, he's giving it up, man.
20:00Look at him go there.
20:02Yeah.
20:03What do you got there?
20:04I know the difference between my mom.
20:06You taught me that.
20:08I will always need my mom.
20:11Just maybe not at the bar.
20:13I'm not a baby anymore.
20:17But he are to me.
20:19He always will be.
20:23This is who you burned me off for, is it?
20:25No.
20:26Actually, this is my mom.
20:30Wait.
20:31You think we're dating.
20:33What is she, a fourth year?
20:35Sit down, my love.
20:42What's your name?
20:43Linda.
20:43I'm Mary.
20:44Hi.

21:05What?
21:06Oh, jeez.
21:07A hundred.
21:08You know what you can't keep it, though, now, Pat?
21:11The rules.
21:13I know.
21:15But I still won, though, didn't I?
21:18He won!
21:20One hundred dollars!
21:21One hundred dollars!
21:21One hundred dollars!
21:24Winning can feel pretty great.
21:26You look like a gutted cod gasping for air.
21:35What happened?
21:37What was the last state to join the U.S. Union?
21:41Hawaii.
21:42That is correct.
21:43I look like I'm going to throw up.
21:45I look awesome.
21:47Yeah, you do.
21:48Oh, and that's time.
21:49Our provincial champions tonight, Cashin Academy.
21:53They'll be carrying on to the nationals in Ottawa.
21:56Good night, everyone.
22:02You were amazing.
22:06We taped it.
22:07Do you want to come over and watch it again after school?
22:10Yeah.
22:11I'd love that.
22:12Okay.
22:13You hang up.
22:14No, you.
22:15No, you.
22:16No, you.
22:16Love is a game best played with two players.
22:22And when you find the right player, nobody loses.
22:25Do you want to come over and watch it again after school?
22:26Do you want to come over and watch it again after school?
22:27Do you want to come over and watch it again after school?
22:28Do you want to come over and watch it again after school?
