00:08Three of these boxes will break the $6,000 bank.
00:13Is this one of them?
00:14Or is it this one?
00:15Or this one?
00:16We'll find out in a moment in this game of hide-and-seek
00:19as these nine celebrities...
00:22Abe Pagoda.
00:25Alice Coatley.
00:27Joanne Flood.
00:30Dick Gordier.
00:31Jan Murray.
00:34Linda Carter.
00:36Liz Torres.
00:38Robert Hedges.
00:40And Marjo Burtner.
00:42All join us in playing...
00:45Break the Bank!
00:47Now meet our host, Tom Kennedy!
00:55Well, how are you, guys?
01:02Thank you very much.
01:03Welcome to Break the Bank.
01:05Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
01:06You'll find our game fun, and it's very simple, and, of course, you've met our celebrities.
01:11We can't play the game without two contestants.
01:13And we have two fine ones, don't we, Johnny Jacobs?
01:15You bet we do, Tom.
01:17We do have two fine contestants, both of them winners.
01:20First, returning with winnings in cash and prizes totaling more than $1,750, a schoolteacher,
01:26Mrs. Barbara Goldberg.
01:32And her opponent, a man who broke the bank, and whose current winnings in cash and prizes
01:36are more than $7,000, Ralph Florian.
01:40That's my life.
01:41Thank you, Ralph.
01:42Welcome back.
01:44You're both looking fit and chipper.
01:46We're happy to have you with us, and here's how we play Break the Bank.
01:49Our game board has various denominations of money in groups of three.
01:52There are also money bags scattered here and there.
01:55Here is what a typical board might look like.
01:57The three $100 boxes touching each other along one of the sides, the three $200 boxes each
02:04touching each other, and the three $300 boxes, and again, they touch each other.
02:10The five money bags are scattered all over.
02:14And a wild box, which can be located anywhere and be used for any value.
02:18The remaining boxes are blank, but they have no value, but they do not touch each other along
02:22any of the sides.
02:23You get three of the same, and you win, and you get three money bags, and you break the
02:27bank, which today is at $6,000, and that's the game we'll be playing when we come right
02:32back.
02:40All right, let us begin.
02:41We've returned our boxes to their original positions and, of course, changed them around.
02:45Remember now, for every question used, you will hear a true answer from one of our celebrities
02:50and a false one from the other, and all you have to do is pick the right one.
02:53Now, three of the same money boxes always touch each other along one of the sides.
02:57The first player to get three of the same money boxes wins.
03:00Ralph Florian, you're our challenger, so we're going to start this game with you.
03:03Pick a box, sir.
03:04Number 13, please.
03:05He says box number 13.
03:07Could we see box number 13, please?
03:09There's a $200 box right off the bat, and that box is connected to Jan Murray and Delinda,
03:15Wonder Woman Carter.
03:16Jan, here is your question, sir.
03:18According to the Bible, who was 500 years old before his first son was born?
03:27Oh, that was rusty old Abraham.
03:31In fact, wife gave birth to a 384-year-old baby.
03:37I didn't know that.
03:38Oh, yeah.
03:39No, of course, there's only one man.
03:41He lived to be 1,000.
03:42900 some odd years, actually.
03:44And when he was 500, he had a son, and that was Methuselah.
03:47Uh-huh.
03:48Linda Carter.
03:49Anybody that reads the Bible knows that it was Noah.
03:54Ralph Florian, was it Methuselah or Noah for that $200 box?
03:58I believe it was Methuselah.
03:59Wrong.
04:00It was Noah.
04:01Linda had the right answer.
04:02That box returns this new position over to Barbara Goldberg.
04:05So you should listen to me.
04:07I will take number 13.
04:08She knows that's a $200 box, so we'll see box number 13 again, if we might.
04:13And it's once again, it's to Jan Murray and to Linda Carter.
04:15Jan, according to Amy Vanderbilt, how long does the usual engagement last?
04:24That's nine months, and then you get married.
04:31The usual engagement, of course, is 15 months.
04:35Linda, what do you think?
04:37Well, I've never been engaged before, but I found out.
04:40You haven't been?
04:41No, I haven't.
04:42I find that hard.
04:43Oh, I haven't, but it's three.
04:47Now, Jan, you said what once again?
04:49I say 15 months.
04:5015 months, and Linda says three, Barbara.
04:53What is it, 15 months or three months?
04:54The usual engagement.
04:55I say three months.
04:56You were right.
04:57You got it.
04:57That's June.
04:58I got a box right there.
04:59Now, I'll pick another box.
05:03And we're putting lips on that box to indicate they belong to Barbara,
05:06and, of course, the ones that go to Ralph will have a mustache.
05:08Yes, Barbara, which box would you like next?
05:10Number eight, please.
05:11Another 200 I'd like.
05:12Number eight, she's looking for another $200 box.
05:13Did she find it?
05:14Let's look at box number eight.
05:16Oh, there's a $100 box, and that is connected to Jan Murray and Dick Gautier.
05:20Jan, gorillas come in a bunch.
05:23Lions come in a pride.
05:24What do clams come in?
05:26Chowder.
05:30Am I close?
05:32Am I anywhere near?
05:33Oh, of course.
05:34Clams come in a covey.
05:37Dick Gautier.
05:39A what?
05:40He said a covey.
05:41A covey.
05:41A little covey of clams.
05:43Is that what you're saying?
05:44Why, you have a different answer?
05:45Yeah, that sounds dumb to you.
05:46A covey of clams.
05:47I think it's, let me see.
05:49I'm friendly with the Cousteaus, and they've told me it's a bed of clams.
05:54Right down there in a bed.
05:55It's a bed of nails.
05:57Barbara, is it a covey or a bed for that $100 box?
06:00I think it's a covey.
06:00Wrong.
06:01It's a bed.
06:02Oh, yes, indeed.
06:03Mr. Gautier, no, Mr. Cousteau, or Cousteau, whatever that is.
06:07And we'll return that box to the future position.
06:08All right, Ralph.
06:09I'm going to have to take box number eight.
06:11All right.
06:12Box number eight, once again, it's a $100 box connected to Jan and to Dick.
06:15Jan, Jan, if you are playing the French horn.
06:20I beg your pardon?
06:21If you're playing the French horn.
06:23Is that me again?
06:23Yes.
06:24Oh, I'm sorry.
06:24Yes, he took the same box.
06:26Oh, same box.
06:27Okay, sir.
06:27Now, Jan, you're playing the French horn.
06:30You got that?
06:30Yeah.
06:30Now, you use one hand to play the valves, and you stick your other hand into something.
06:35What?
06:35In your ears.
06:37You ever hear a sound a French horn make?
06:40You know, it's...
06:43If you were playing the French horn, you would put one hand in the valves.
06:50That's the left hand.
06:51And the right hand, you stick, if you want a high note, into the trumpet player.
06:56But ordinarily, with the other hand...
06:59We're just talking about the French.
07:00In the drone.
07:02The what?
07:02The drone.
07:03In the drone.
07:04Dick?
07:05No.
07:06I think it's called a bell.
07:07Because you know, they play the French horn, you have to get a...
07:12In order to get that...
07:14Oh, stick it.
07:16Yeah.
07:17Barbara?
07:18Barbara, is it the drone or the bell?
07:19Pardon me, Ralph.
07:20Is it for the $100 dollar call?
07:22You got hung up on my bell, didn't you?
07:27Ralph, is it the drone or the bell?
07:28Or the trumpet player?
07:29No.
07:29Is it the drone or the bell?
07:31It's the drone.
07:32Wrong.
07:33Wrong, it's the bell.
07:36And we return that box to us in neutral position.
07:38Barbara Goldberg, what box would you like?
07:41I'm going to go with number 14.
07:43I'm looking for 200.
07:44All right.
07:44Let's go to box number 14.
07:46Could we see box number 14?
07:48She did not find it.
07:49That's a block.
07:49We'll go back now to Ralph Florian.
07:51Box number nine.
07:52Number nine, he says this time.
07:54Could we see box number nine?
07:57And that is a $100 box, and that is connected to Liz Torres and to Dick Gautier.
08:02Liz, according to Amy Vanderbilt again, to properly eat spaghetti, you need two things.
08:09What are they?
08:11Rubbers and a raincoat.
08:14What do you need?
08:15You need what do you have to eat?
08:17To eat what?
08:18To eat spaghetti.
08:19To eat spaghetti.
08:19You need to have a fork and a spoon.
08:22Dick.
08:23Well, that's if you want to be a slob.
08:25I've seen you eat.
08:26No, what do you have to do?
08:27You need a fork and a knife to cut it in little pieces and just...
08:30Is that, Barbara, is it a...
08:33Pardon me, Ralph.
08:37Ralph, is it a fork and a spoon or a fork and a knife?
08:41It's a fork and a spoon.
08:42You are right, and you have the $100 box.
08:44Yeah, you're also a sloppy eater.
08:45We're going to put an essential in that box.
08:47That's the first one you've learned so far, and now pick another box, yes.
08:50I'm going to go box number eight.
08:52Box number eight.
08:53He's looking for either or not.
08:55Well, we know, don't we?
08:56Could we see box number eight?
08:57He knows that's a $100 box.
08:59We also know it's connected to Jan Murray and Dick Gautier.
09:02All right, guys, here we go again.
09:04What legendary entertainer was famous for saying,
09:06You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.
09:09Linda Lovelace.
09:14No?
09:15Wait a minute.
09:17Twiggy?
09:20That was the greatest entertainer that ever lived,
09:22believed by many people, Al Jolson.
09:24Dick Gautier.
09:26I'm sorry to disagree, Jan.
09:27That was Eddie Cantor because you haven't seen anything yet
09:30because of his big eyes, you know.
09:32He said, You ain't seen nothing yet.
09:33All right, Ralph, was it Al Jolson or Eddie Cantor?
09:36Al Jolson.
09:37It is Al Jolson.
09:38It was Al Jolson.
09:39You now have two $100 boxes.
09:42And if you get another $100 box, you can win the game.
09:44And you know they touch each other on at least one side.
09:47So which box would you like next, Ralph?
09:48I'm going to go with box number seven.
09:50Number seven.
09:51Could we see box number seven?
09:52Did he find a $100 box?
09:54Could we see it, please?
09:56It's a $300 box.
09:58And that box happens to be connected to Joanne Flug
10:01and to Dick Gautier.
10:02All right, Dick.
10:03Yeah.
10:03According to face reading,
10:06your nose should be one-third the length of something.
10:10What?
10:14What time is this show on?
10:17No, okay.
10:18My face should be,
10:21my nose should be one-third of my face.
10:25Joanne,
10:27your nose should be one-third of your what?
10:33Her nose is one-third of my old nose.
10:38According to model books,
10:40when you read them,
10:41your nose should be one-quarter of your chin.
10:45All right.
10:46Now, Ralph,
10:47should it be your face or your chin?
10:49Your chin.
10:50No.
10:51It's your face.
10:52One-third of your face.
10:53So that box returns to its neutral position.
10:55And as a matter of fact,
10:56we're going to stop right there.
10:57Ralph has two $100 squares.
10:59Barbara has one $200 square.
11:01We'll continue the game right after this.
11:10All right.
11:11Ralph so far has two $100 boxes.
11:12Barbara,
11:13you have the $200 box there
11:14because it has lips on it
11:15and the next choice is yours.
11:17Which box would you like?
11:17I'm going to go for number 10
11:19and to try and block Ralph.
11:20She's going to try to find
11:21a $100 box and block.
11:22Could we see box number 10?
11:25She did find it.
11:27And that particular box
11:30is connected to Marjo
11:32and Marjo Gortner
11:33and to Dick Gautier
11:34and let's see if she successfully blocks him
11:36unless, of course,
11:37he gets a wild card.
11:38All right, Dick,
11:39here's a question.
11:39The two masters of terror,
11:41Boris Korloff and Bela Lugosi,
11:43appeared together
11:44in a very successful movie.
11:46Can you please tell us the title
11:47of this panic-packed,
11:49chill-filled horror movie?
11:51All the President's Men.
11:53No.
11:55No, let me think.
11:57Boris Korloff was in a movie
11:59with, uh...
12:00I know it.
12:01It was the black cat.
12:02Marjo.
12:03That was called the green spider.
12:05Was it the black cat
12:06or the green spider?
12:08I'm going to go with the black cat.
12:09You're right.
12:10It is the black cat or it was.
12:12Now, you have successfully blocked Ralph
12:14unless, of course,
12:15he happens to get the wild card.
12:17The next pick is yours.
12:18Which box would you like, Barbara?
12:19I'm going to look for a 200
12:20under number 18.
12:21Number 18.
12:22Did she find a $200 box?
12:24Could we see box number 18, please?
12:26And there it is.
12:27You did find it.
12:29Connected to Jan Murray
12:31and to Robert Hedges.
12:32Jan, your mate
12:34has just slapped your trapezium.
12:36What?
12:37Where have you been hit?
12:39I won't tell you,
12:40but the first sound I made
12:41was, ooh!
12:45The trapezium.
12:46You're talking to an athlete.
12:48The trapezium is the wrist.
12:50Robert Hedges.
12:51Mm-hmm.
12:52The trapezium or the trapezii?
12:54No, trapezium.
12:57There's a difference.
12:59It would be the legs.
13:00The legs, you say, Barbara?
13:02The wrist or the legs
13:03for that $200 box?
13:05The legs.
13:06Wrong.
13:07It's the wrist.
13:07And that means
13:08that box returns
13:09to its neutral position
13:10back to Ralph Florian.
13:11I'm going to go
13:12with box number 7.
13:13Box number 7.
13:14I'm going to plant a new attack.
13:15What is that?
13:15A new attack.
13:16Yes, it is a new attack.
13:17Let's see box number 7.
13:19All right.
13:19There's a $300 box right there.
13:22And that box
13:23happens to be connected
13:25to Joanne Kluge
13:26and to Dick Godier.
13:27And here, Dick,
13:28is your question.
13:29If you were in Munich
13:30and a young Fraulein
13:31invited you to nibble
13:32on her cartuffle?
13:34My cartuffle?
13:35Cartuffle.
13:35Yes.
13:35What would you ordinarily
13:37sprinkle on it
13:37to make it more delectable?
13:39On a young girl's cartuffle,
13:41I personally like
13:41to sprinkle talcum powder.
13:45No, no, actually.
13:46No, no.
13:47No, that's a potato.
13:49That's all it is.
13:49You just put salt on it.
13:51Joanne?
13:52Dick, you are so silly sometimes.
13:53I do declare.
13:55Yeah?
13:55I've seen your cartuffle, too.
13:57I don't know if you've studied
13:57any German.
13:58A cartuffle is an ear.
14:00And you put perfume behind it.
14:02All right.
14:02And you nibble
14:03a young girl's ear.
14:05Ralph, is it salt or perfume?
14:08Salt.
14:09That's right,
14:09because it's a potato
14:10is exactly what it is.
14:12You now have a $300 box.
14:13Which box would you like?
14:16Box number 12.
14:17Box number 12.
14:18Are you looking
14:19for another $300 box, perhaps?
14:21Could we see box number 12?
14:23And that is a money bag.
14:24And that means, sir,
14:25that you now have
14:26a decision to make.
14:27Any player who gets
14:28three money bags
14:29breaks the bank,
14:30which is worth $6,000.
14:31Now, the rule of the game
14:32is you can keep this money bag
14:33without having to answer
14:34a question,
14:35but you lose your turn.
14:36Or you can refuse
14:38to take the bag
14:39and then keep on playing.
14:40So what do you want to do?
14:40Keep the bag
14:41and forfeit your turn
14:42or refuse the money bag
14:43and keep playing?
14:44I'll refuse the money bag
14:45and keep playing.
14:45All right.
14:46Onward he goes.
14:47We'll return box number 12
14:48to refuse to completion.
14:50Go ahead.
14:51Which box would you like?
14:51I'm on the attack still.
14:52Number 6.
14:53All right.
14:53Looking for another $300 box.
14:55He knows they touch
14:55on at least one side.
14:56Could we see box number 6?
14:58He did find a $300 box.
15:02And that is connected
15:03to Abe Vigoda
15:04and to Dick Godier.
15:05Abe.
15:06Yes.
15:06According to Family Circle,
15:08how often should you
15:09turn your mattress over?
15:11Well, that depends
15:13who I'm sleeping with.
15:16I would say
15:19every two weeks.
15:21Dick.
15:23I don't think
15:24it's that necessary
15:25unless you really
15:26are into some heavy scenes
15:27or something
15:28smashing it.
15:29Every six weeks
15:30it'd be fine.
15:31Two weeks
15:32or six weeks, Ralph?
15:33I'd say six weeks.
15:34No, it's two weeks.
15:35Every two weeks.
15:37Who does that?
15:37And so that box
15:38returns to you
15:38at the position
15:39and Barbara Goldberg
15:40is still alive.
15:41Barbara,
15:41which box would you like?
15:42I'm going to go
15:42for my $200
15:43and her number 18.
15:44Oh, she's not going to block.
15:46She's going to go.
15:46All right.
15:47Let's see box number 18.
15:49And there is a $200 box.
15:51That would mean
15:51the second one
15:52of those for you.
15:53If, of course,
15:54you get the answer correct.
15:55That's for Jan Murray
15:56and to Robert Hedges.
15:58Jan, an eclipse of the moon
15:59is caused
16:00by the shadow of something.
16:02What?
16:03The guy who plays cannon.
16:05Oh.
16:07Not only the moon,
16:08but two-thirds
16:08of the Western hemisphere
16:09disappears.
16:11The answer to that question,
16:13my friend,
16:14is the earth.
16:16Robert Hedges.
16:17It's the sun.
16:19Barbara,
16:19is it the earth
16:20or the sun
16:21for that $200 box?
16:23The sun.
16:24No, it's the earth.
16:25The box returns
16:26to its neutral position
16:27and now we're back to Ralph.
16:28Box number six, please.
16:30Number six.
16:30He's still on the attack.
16:31Could we see box number six?
16:33And there he knows
16:34he has the $300 box
16:36and once again
16:36it is connected
16:37to Abe Vigoda
16:38and Dick Godier.
16:39Abe,
16:39what did Thomas Edison say
16:41was 98% perspiration?
16:46His wedding night.
16:50No, no, no, no.
16:52No, no, no.
16:53Happiness.
16:54What did you say?
16:56Happiness.
16:56Happiness.
16:57Dick Godier.
16:58No, I beg to differ.
16:59That was perspiration.
17:00He said perspiration.
17:0280,
17:03was it 95% genius?
17:04No, yeah, 98%.
17:0698%.
17:06Yeah, that was it.
17:07That was genius.
17:09All right.
17:10Happiness or genius, Ralph?
17:12Genius.
17:12That is correct.
17:13Genius.
17:1498% perspiration.
17:16You now have
17:17two $300 boxes.
17:20Get one more
17:20and you can win the game
17:21and we'll see if he does that
17:22when we come right back.
17:24Don't you go away.
17:32Well, we have a very interesting
17:34game going here
17:35and so far
17:36Ralph Florian
17:36has two $300 boxes,
17:38two $100 boxes
17:39and incidentally
17:39the wild card
17:40is still at large
17:41and you're still
17:41in control, Ralph.
17:42So which box
17:43would you like next?
17:44Well, I hope to end this up.
17:45I'm going to try
17:45box number one.
17:46And you're looking
17:47for the third $300 box.
17:48Did he find it?
17:49Could we see
17:50box number one?
17:51There it is.
17:52All right.
17:54Now, of course,
17:55you must earn that box.
17:57You must earn it.
17:59That box is connected
18:00to Abe Vigoda
18:01and to Alice Ghostly
18:02and you have to come up
18:02the correct answer
18:03to win the game.
18:05Abe?
18:05Yes?
18:06In bullfighting,
18:07what is it about
18:09the bullfighter's cape
18:11that arouses the bull?
18:16The waving of a cape.
18:19Alice Ghostly?
18:21Oh, no.
18:22It has to be a red cape.
18:23It's the red in the cape
18:24that makes him go crazy.
18:26Ralph, for the third $300 box,
18:30for $900 and the game
18:32and a surprise prize,
18:33is it the waving of the cape
18:35or is it the redness of the cape?
18:39It's the redness of the cape.
18:40Wrong!
18:40It is the waving of the cape.
18:43And the game is still alive.
18:44That box refers to its neutral position
18:46and we're back to Barbara Goldberg.
18:48What a game.
18:49I'll take number one to block.
18:50Number one to block.
18:51All right.
18:52Could we see number one again?
18:53Here we go.
18:54All right, Abe.
18:55According to the song
18:57Where Was I
18:58when I was taken by surprise
19:01by a pair of roguish eyes,
19:03where was I?
19:05Sneaking into a paid toilet.
19:11No.
19:13I would say
19:15strolling through the park.
19:17I see.
19:18Alice Ghostly?
19:19No.
19:20Unless it was in Ireland.
19:22Ireland is the answer
19:24to that question.
19:24Barbara Goldberg.
19:25Was it in Ireland
19:26or strolling through the park
19:27according to the song?
19:28Strolling through the park.
19:29You are right.
19:29And you now have the $300 box.
19:31And that is a successful block.
19:33Unless, of course,
19:35Ralph happens to hit the wild card,
19:37which is still at large.
19:38Barbara, which box next?
19:39Going back to the $200
19:40under number 18.
19:41Now she's going to go back
19:41to a $200 thing.
19:43All right.
19:43Could we see box number 18, please?
19:45Could we see it?
19:46It is a $200 box
19:47for Jan Murray
19:48and for Robert Hedges.
19:49Jan, you have had
19:51an average pregnancy
19:52and your baby weighs 10 pounds.
19:54Now approximately
19:55how much of that is water?
19:57Barbara, if my baby
19:58weighs 10 pounds,
19:59I would say
19:59about 8 pounds is water.
20:02That is your answer?
20:03That is my answer.
20:04Thank you very much.
20:05Robert?
20:06This is right at pregnancy, right?
20:09When they take it out?
20:10It says you have had
20:11an average pregnancy
20:12and your baby weighs 10 pounds.
20:16How much of it is water?
20:18Two pounds.
20:18Two pounds.
20:19All right.
20:19Is it 8 pounds
20:19or 2 pounds, Barbara?
20:222 pounds.
20:23No, it is 8 pounds.
20:25And that square reversed to,
20:26that box reversed
20:27to its neutral position.
20:28And hold it, gang.
20:29We're running out of time here.
20:31I think we are.
20:31We'll check the clock
20:32and see if we can
20:33begin the game right after this.
