04:34And that takes you into the lead with $2,400.
04:37And it takes us to our first break.
04:40We'll be back in a moment.
04:47In the old days, players wanted to do well on Jeopardy! for the glory, showing off their
04:52intellectual skills.
04:53When we upped the monies available to contestants, a lot of them showed up for the dough.
04:59In the case of Paul Tavianini from Burbank, California, money is very important because
05:03he's got an upcoming honeymoon.
05:06Yes.
05:07Where would you like to go?
05:09I think we talked about Italy.
05:10We've also talked about Australia, New Zealand, basically any place outside of the United States.
05:16Okay, good.
05:17Stuart Nadler from Brooklyn, New York.
05:19A writer who has just completed his third novel?
05:24Unpublished novel.
05:26I see.
05:27There's a difference.
05:28I know there is a difference.
05:31You don't make money when you don't publish your novels.
05:34It gives me personal artistic happiness, though.
05:36Do you have personal artistic happiness?
05:39I have a little bit, yeah.
05:41What's your next novel going to be about?
05:43Probably my Jeopardy experience.

05:47Melissa Prepster from Kyle, Texas, is our champion.
05:51Has two dachshunds who compete in races, I understand.
05:55Yes, but not very well.
05:56Why?
05:57Well, I have two dachshunds, Ike and Amos, and we trained for the wiener dog races, and
06:01they did pretty good in the backyard, but when it came time for the actual race, they
06:06lifted the gate and they just stood there and decided they wanted no part of it.
06:11Dachshunds are like that.
06:12They are.
06:12They're stubborn.
06:12You can't trust them.
06:13You can't trust them.
06:14What am I doing, Paul Lind?
06:17All right, Stuart has command of the board and the lead at the moment.
