TVTranscript
00:00This is the battlefield for our game of speed and strategy.
00:04These are the letters that lead to victory on Blockbusters!
00:09And here's the star of our show, Bill Culler!
00:15Hi there. I'm excited. Thank you. Hi, guys.
00:22Yes!
00:24Hello there. Thank you.
00:27They're nice. They're nice people. Thank you very much for coming by.
00:30We need you for our show. It's your applause and your encouragement that makes this all possible.
00:37It's a contract is what it is.
00:39This is Blockbusters. We have a solo player competing against a family pair.
00:43At the moment, we are a locuplete, one of my favorite words.
00:47We are locuplete with champions because the current champions are our sister pair, Kitty Rodriguez and Aaron DeSouza.
00:53So far, they have won $9,000. Welcome back, you, Pete.
01:00You've been here, like, four days, is it? Four or four, something like that.
01:03I think this is the fifth day of the beginning of the year.
01:06Oh, boy. Aaron's married, has a little daughter.
01:08Yes.
01:08How old is she?
01:09She's two and a half, going on six.
01:11I know what you mean.
01:13And, Kitty, you're not married.
01:15Right.
01:15But a lot of boyfriends. At least you know a lot of boyfriends' names.
01:18Yes.
01:19We're happy to have you two here.
01:20And we have opposing them.
01:23Not opposing. Yeah, opposing in every sense of the word, I suppose.
01:26But a returning champion who, when she was here last time, won our limit amount of $60,000.
01:31Our limit has since been extended.
01:33So we are, from time to time, bringing back past champions to give them a chance to extend their winnings
01:38if they can.
01:39Ladies and gentlemen, Sherry Lucas, who took with her $60,000 last time.
01:43Welcome back, Sherry.
01:48Sherry told me a very interesting thing after the show yesterday, when we stand over there and have a little
01:53time to talk.
01:54And she said she was recognized by a lot of people as she went about her daily chores and errands,
02:00whom she had never met before.
02:01Isn't that nice?
02:02Mm-hmm.
02:02That is very nice.
02:03And it happened on both coasts.
02:04Isn't that interesting?
02:05As long as four or five months after the show aired, people were still recognizing me.
02:09I was astounded.
02:10Oh, yeah.
02:10You'll find it lasts for a long time, too.
02:12My wife, who is not in the profession of broadcasting at the moment, my wife Ann, she and I made
02:17many appearances on Tattletales.
02:20And it's been a long time since we've been on.
02:22To this day, people will say to her, say, didn't I see you on television on Tattletales?
02:27Would you believe that?
02:28It's amazing that people will remember for such a long time.
02:30It truly is.
02:31And you have 60.
02:32You said something before we begin.
02:34I asked you what you did with your money.
02:35You said you bought a new tire with $60,000 and nothing else, right?
02:39No, actually, I really haven't spent any of it.
02:41But it's so hard to come by, that amount of money.
02:46It would take you a long time to earn that much and be able to set it aside.
02:49So I've really been very careful with it.
02:52I did buy a new tire for my car.
02:53Well, that's all right, a new tire.
02:55I've invested some of it.
02:56I think my big indulgence is going to be that sometime next year I'll be taking my sister and my
03:00niece, my niece Barrett, my favorite person, on a cruise to the Mediterranean.
03:04And I hope you enjoy it.
03:06You were so wise.
03:07As you say, money in that lump, big lump like that.
03:09It's hard to come by.
03:10And it's wise to husband it carefully.
03:12Yes.
03:12Beautifully put, Bill.
03:13You know how it works, Sherry.
03:15And Aaron and Kitty know how it works.
03:17This is game one of this match.
03:19And, Sherry, you had scored first.
03:21So you get a chance to select and we go from there.
03:23Where to?
03:24Okay, let's try the O, please.
03:26Okay, letter O.
03:26Sherry's trying to make top to bottom connection.
03:28Everybody ready on the buttons now.
03:30Here comes the O question.
03:31What O is where you might find Chimneyville, Torpedo Town, the Blue Forest, and Munchkin Mountains?
03:44Yes, Sherry.
03:44Oz.
03:45Oz is the right answer.
03:46Sure, that's it.
03:48Might as well at that point take a chance, I guess.
03:53That's a good way to play it.
03:55When you get down there and all the facts are in, you might as well take a shot at it.
03:58Thank heaven for Munchkins.
03:59Yes, that was the big tip.
04:01Where are you going?
04:01A, please.
04:02I picked another O.
04:03I'm clever.
04:04I mean, it's already taken.
04:06Here's an A.
04:07Everybody ready?
04:08Answer starts with A.
04:09What A made millions of dollars trading furs?
04:13That's Sherry again.
04:14Aster.
04:15Aster's the right answer.
04:16Sherry, you're on a roll now.
04:22He made millions of dollars trading furs and was the richest man in America at the time
04:27of his death, which, by the way, was 1848.
04:32Aster, where to?
04:33Z, please.
04:34We'll see what happens there.
04:35If she gets the Z, Erin and Kitty, it's game one.
04:39And, of course, there's still another game to go.
04:41Answer begins with Z, possible game for Sherry Lewis, our returning champion.
04:45What Z was the tribe that massacred 13,000 British troops in Africa?
04:59Zulus.
05:00Zulu is right.
05:01You've won the game and another 500 bets.
05:14Zulu was a pretty good try.
05:16Zulu was the right answer, though.
05:18So, Sherry, you picked up where you left off some time ago.
05:21Zulu was the answer.
05:22You have $500.
05:23You have enough now for another tire if you want to.
05:26At least this pays for my trip out.
05:28It sure does.
05:29We'll be back here and pick up game two in this match in just a moment.
05:32Go right now.
05:33Something for you.
05:37This week in game show history,
05:40Concentration debuts in the primetime hour with host Jack Berry.
05:43The Price is Right expands to an hour,
05:45debuting the Showcase Showdown Wheel
05:47and match game teams with Hollywood Squares,
05:50forming an hour of crazy celebrity answers.
05:54All right.
05:58Back with our cast of all champions,
06:00our current champions, Kitty and Erin,
06:02have $9,000 and Sherry Lucas has $60,500 at the moment.
06:07Game one went to Sherry.
06:08We come back now with game two.
06:09Everybody ready?
06:10We're going to begin this one with a letter W.
06:13Answer begins with W.
06:14Everybody ready now.
06:15Here we go.
06:16What W has red meat similar to beef
06:19that can be used for steaks and roasts,
06:22but this large mammal does its grazing.
06:26Sherry again.
06:27Whale.
06:27In the sea, whale is right.
06:29You have it.
06:29Good for you, Sherry.
06:33Oh, boy.
06:34Once again, we have three excellent players out there.
06:37Everyone goes for the button at the same time.
06:38Where are you going, Sherry?
06:39S, please.
06:40All right.
06:40Letter S.
06:42That little fraction of a second
06:44from the time you get to that buzzard
06:46has been decided.
06:47Question.
06:48What S?
06:49Did Greek legend say
06:51a young girl named Arachne
06:54was turned...
06:55Kitty.
06:56Spider.
06:57Spider is the right answer.
06:58You're back in there.
06:59Right.
07:00That sounds right.
07:02Oh, we both have that.
07:04Greek legend said
07:05a young girl named Arachne,
07:07A-R-A-C-H-N-E,
07:08was turned into a goddess
07:09who was jealous of her weaving skills,
07:12and that's where we get the name,
07:13Spider.
07:17Where are you going, Kitty?
07:18M.
07:18Okay.
07:19M, picked by the family pair,
07:21and question coming.
07:23What M was written
07:25during the French Revolution,
07:28and is there national...
07:31Sherry?
07:31Marseillaise.
07:32Marseillaise or Marseillaise is right.
07:34I don't speak French, but...
07:35Okay.
07:36I have trouble with it, too.
07:38Marseillaise.
07:40I thought my accent was kind of terrific.
07:42Yeah.
07:43You gave it a whole new meaning.
07:44Where are you going?
07:45Okay.
07:46The O, please.
07:47Okay, letter O.
07:49Family pair, trying to stay in this match now.
07:53What O was given up by England in 1846,
07:58and shares California's northern...
08:03Kitty.
08:03Oregon?
08:04Oregon is right.
08:05Question it, clear or not.
08:07I sure didn't know that.
08:11That's news to me.
08:12Share's California's northern border.
08:15Oregon, we've given up by...
08:16That was awfully nice of our British cousins.
08:18Where are you going, Kitty?
08:20I guess the letter F.
08:21Okay.
08:21Now, you see the family pair
08:23is trying to make a top-to-bottom connection.
08:25Yeah, that's in your general route.
08:28F.
08:29What F said?
08:31I meant to kill a turkey,
08:33and instead I nearly...
08:36Erin.
08:37Franklin.
08:39How'd you do it?
08:40Right.
08:40Franklin is the right answer.
08:41Benjamin Franklin.
08:45He wanted the turkey as the national bird.
08:47Remember that, Troy?
08:49Yeah.
08:49Huh?
08:49He wanted the turkey
08:50to be the national bird
08:51instead of the eagle.
08:53That was...
08:53So he meant to kill one,
08:54and that's how you figured it out.
08:56I don't know what your system...
08:57It doesn't matter.
08:58Don't...
08:59I don't care.
09:00Don't worry, Erin.
09:01It works.
09:01Boy, I...
09:02The question is,
09:03I meant to kill a turkey,
09:04and instead I nearly killed a goose.
09:06Then comes the tip-off part.
09:08After he was knocked out
09:09while experimenting with electricity.
09:12And she comes up with turkey
09:13and says,
09:14Franklin, it's right.
09:15What difference?
09:16You're right.
09:16Where are you going, Erin?
09:17I don't care.
09:19Where do I get my umbrella?
09:21I'll go with you.
09:22I care.
09:23Wait.
09:23Okay.
09:25Let's do this right.
09:26How about...
09:28P for paranoia.
09:30All right.
09:33I understand that perfectly well.
09:35You know,
09:36I've been in this business
09:37for 30 years, 40 years,
09:39I don't know how many years.
09:40I like first.
09:41This is the first time
09:42I ever said to a contestant,
09:44you know,
09:44you always say,
09:45what's the next move?
09:45Where are you going?
09:46What's the next move?
09:46Where are you going?
09:47I don't care.
09:48Never happened.
09:49Here comes a P question.
09:51Everybody ready?
09:51The answer starts with P.
09:53What P was run
09:55for the first time
09:56in 1873
09:59and is now part
10:00of horse racing's
10:01triple crown?
10:03Sherry.
10:04Preakness.
10:04Right.
10:05Preakness is the answer.
10:06Sherry, you have it back.
10:12Look at that board.
10:13It's getting busy.
10:13Where are you going, Sherry?
10:14T, please.
10:15Letter T.

10:22southwest of Birmingham
10:24and is the home
10:26of the University of Alabama?

10:35It's a good game.
10:37Extremely good game.

11:45Question D.

12:14determinations here.
12:15I will say

12:18and their representative,
12:20she, is represented
12:20by red,

12:46C question.
12:47Answer starts with,
12:48what C
12:50is Spanish
12:51for strong
12:52little animal
12:54but it might be
12:55more appropriately
12:56named
12:58expensive
12:58little
13:00Sherry.
13:00Chinchilla?
13:01Chinchilla is right.
13:07Expensive
13:08little animal
13:09because of its fur.
13:10Where to?
13:12Well, we better
13:13go with that L.
13:14Sure had.
13:15Well, you could go
13:16either the L way
13:17or the A way.
13:18If
13:19Sherry gets this,
13:20it's game
13:21and match.

13:49that symbolize purity.
13:51Take a good look
13:52at the board, Kitty.
13:53Do not be hurried.
13:54I think the letter N.
13:57The letter N.
13:58Okay.
13:58It will not make
14:00the connection,
14:00but it's close.

14:57A for absolutely
14:59last chance.
15:00If you had said
15:01anything else,
15:01I would have dropped
15:02right down there.
15:03A.
15:03Here's the situation.
15:05If the family pair
15:06answered this one correctly,
15:07they will have won game
15:09and tied the match.
15:11If Sherry answers it correctly,
15:13she will have won the game
15:15and won the match.
15:16So, boy, it's a big one,
15:17especially for Erin and Kitty.

16:31Are we really that special?
16:32Yes.
16:33Now you're all pulling my leg.
16:35All right.
