(Alex: All right, let's see. The fellows are not looking happy. We come to Mark Dawson first. He was in third place with $10,600. He wrote down--he was going for Moby Dick and then changed it.) (Mark: Too late.) (Alex: Too late.) ... (Alex: [To Colby] Sorry, H.G. Wells is not going to work for you today.) ... (Alex: Now we come to Chuck Forrest...) [Chuck shakes his head and raises his arms.] (Alex: And he hasn't a clue; doesn't have a clue. [*] is the work.) [The audience groans.] (Alex: But what did it cost you? $2,500. That leaves you with $11,900, but Chuck Forrest, you are a semifinalist. Come on over here. And now, here are the other semifinalists. First, the winners of the games...) (Roger: Roger Craig, Brooklyn, New York.) (Russ: Russ Schumacher, Fort Collins, Colorado.) (Brad: Brad Rutter, Los Angeles, California.) (Ken: Ken Jennings, Seattle, Washington.) (Alex: And now, the highest scorers among non-winners...) (Tom: Tom Cubbage, Arlington, Virginia.) (Leszek: Leszek Pawlowicz, Flagstaff, Arizona.) (Pam: Pam Mueller, Princeton, New Jersey.) (Alex: And one more, and he happens to be standing on our stage. Colby Burnett! Come on over, Colby. You all have a good weekend, ladies and gentlemen. We're back on Monday to start the semifinals that will lead to a $1 million payday. So, see you then.)Mark | What is Moby Dici | $2,000 | Colby | What is The Time Machine? | $800 | Chuck | What ? | $2,500 | The Book of Mormon |
