Final Jeopardy! Round responses

ANIMALS
(Alex: Yeah, their [*] wear out because they're used to eating trees and stuff; they can no longer feed themselves and they die of starvation.)
...
(Alex: [To Mike] Their feet wear out.)
(Mike: They're very heavy animals.)
[Laughter]
(Alex: Yeah, see... they die when they get to be about 4 feet high...
[Laughter]
(Alex: ...those short elephants. We should give you points just for the comedy in that response.)
(Mike: I think my grammar's wrong.)
(Alex: All right, let's see--that's okay, Mike. Let's see what it cost you. You risked everything, and it takes you down to zero...)
...
(Alex: ...and we move to the man next to you, Claude, who came alive in the Double Jeopardy! Round. Did he get the right response in this one? No, he didn't. It's gonna cost you--it would have to cost you a great deal--$4,600--for Nancy to remain champion. How much did you bet? That'll take you down to $6,800, but today that is enough to be the Jeopardy! champion. That's a pretty good payoff, too. Congratulations, Claude. We'll see you on our next show. And hopefully you'll join us then, too. So long, everybody!)
