Okay, Travis Dunn,
you're up next.

Travis Dunn?

Travis Dunn,
you're up next.

Travis Dunn?

No Travis?

All right, here we go.

Hi.

Welcome to Press Your Luck,
Travis.

Oh, I can't believe I'm
finally hearing those words.

Glad you're excited.

Tell us a little bit about
yourself, okay.

Okay.
Look at the camera.

Um...

Oh, oh, wait one...

What is that?

A plate.

No whammies, no whammies,
no whammies.

I love this.

Well, I guess that's it,
Chuck.

No more auditions
necessary.

No, no, he's not
being serious, okay?

Just please tell us a little
bit about yourself, okay?

Ready?
Three, two, one.

Whoo!

Hi, I'm Travis,
Travis Dunn,

and I'm just so darn
excited to be here.

I've never been
to California.

I've actually never been past
Illinois, for that matter.

I just came off a
three day trek

from my hometown in Ohio,

a little place
called Lebanon.

And got to apologize
for my appearance.

I swear, I clean up nice.

I mean, you must be pooped,
huh, Travis.

Oh, no, no, not at all.

The adrenaline's keeping
me going.

I want to win
the big bucks.

What is it you do
for a living?

Yeah, I work...

I work in air conditioning
repair.

And sometimes, I drive an ice
cream truck during the summer

when I need to.

Beautiful.

So why do you want to
Press Your Luck, Travis?

To the camera, please.

Honestly?

Yes, please.

Okay, so every morning
I wake up to the smell

of bacon on the griddle,
eggs on the stove,

and sometimes
burnt toast.

Don't tell my
wife I said that.

And me and Patricia,
and our little one,

we gather around
the breakfast table

and we watch your show
until I have to go to work.

It's our little ritual.

In the middle
of an audition.

Oh, can, can I just say,

I'm sorry,
Mister Carruthers,

I just want to say that,
that you are--

You're kidding.

You're like a hero
in our home.

Oh, stories like yours
help me know

that my time is not wasted.

Not at all,
I love the show.

I've probably seen
every episode.

You know,
if presents aren't allowed,

I can take the plate back.
I didn't--

Sylvia, can you please
get the real Travis

a couple of t-shirts
and let him know

that we'll be with him
in a second.

Hey, Jim, can you get this
guy off the lot, please?

I'm not running. I just
wanted to say I'm sorry

if I caused any trouble.
- Let's go.

This isn't even him.

I swear, I saw that on
60 Minutes once.

Stories like those are why
America loves game shows.

Real people,
winning real money, yes.

Huh?

I like the guy.

Yep, because he drove
his ice cream truck

from Bumfuck, Ohio,
through the desert.

All right, give it a rest,
Chuck, okay?

I'm in mourning.

Sorry, Bill.
I get it, you know.

I'm not an idiot.

I'd cast the guy,
but he's a fucking creep.

Oh.

Shit, shit! Come on!

I'm not moving
until you go.

It's broken, damn it!

Happy?

You can leave now.

Oh.

I'll be damned,
you weren't kidding.

You fucked up,
ice cream man.

I know, I know.

I get so nervous,
and I made phone calls

and sent letters,
and never heard back.

I just thought that--
- Listen.

Maybe if I came here--

You want to know why
I'm Chucky's boss?

It's because I can
see the future.

Tomorrow morning,
you are going to wake up,

you are going to trim that beard
and comb that mop of yours,

and you get a
decent jacket.

And then you're going
to show up to this lot

at 10 a.m. sharp,

and if you're late,
so help me God.

Are you sure?

We'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. 10 a.m. sharp.

What the hell
am I thinking?

What the hell is your name,
guy?

It's...

Michael Larson, yeah.

Michael Larson.

It's going to be $8.

Oh, you know what?

Jacket was actually
damaged, so...

It's a thrift shop.

Yeah,
all the buttons are...

I can give you 25%
off the jacket.

Oh.

You made me love you.

I wish I would have never
walked into that elevator!

I wish...

Damn it! Line!

I wish I would have
taken the?

Stairs.
- Stairs.

Jesus Chris,
who writes this shit?

Okay, in we come.
Come on.

Quick, quick quick, quick.

Please.

Hold for the tour.

That's it, in we come.

This is pretty neat.

So let me be the first
to introduce you

to our not so little home we
love to call Television City.

Get ready, everyone.

If you'd like to follow
me this way,

the tour will continue.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

Just kidding, of course.

We are still here in
the CBS studios.

This is just one of the
nine productions

going on here at
any given time.

It's a live set.
Keep it moving, tour girl!

Hey, boy,
watch it!

We broke ground
in 1952.

Cool! Are those extras?

And here is our little
corner of the neighborhood,

Studio 33.

Is this your wife?
You can stay with her.

Can... All right, can we send
some more people down here?

I'm not going to split
up families,

we're not that
kind of show.

Sylvia, one of your sheep
have left the meadow.

Yeah,
come right around.

Hey, Charles, I think you
need about four more.

Hey, you are not supposed to
be wandering around out here.

You have to stay
in the green room.

We've got a lot
of nice people

a lot of good people
in the house.

Hey, Sylvia.

Listen,
I just wanted to say

I apologize
about yesterday.

Oh.

Well,
it was fine in the end.

And you're here, so...

I'm just glad they
didn't fire me.

Me too.

Hey, Sylvia,
ready for the next one.

Okay.

So...
- Yeah, we have to. Yeah.

Today,
these three players

are after big bucks!

But they'll have to
avoid the whammies

as they play the most
exciting game of their lives!

From Television City
in Hollywood,

it's time to
Press Your Luck!

Here is your host,

the star of
Press Your Luck,

Peter Tomarken!

Thank you, thank you!

Thank you, Rod,

thank you, audience,

and thank you to you
viewers at home.

And welcome to the
biggest game--

And stop!

Five hundred
and a spin.

Stop!

A thousand dollars
and a spin!

Okay, Michael, Janie?

You're up next.

Let's do it.

$516, that makes
you our winner today.

Oh my gosh,
this is so exciting.

It's show time.

Oh.

Hey.

No, wait.
What are you doing?

Just following orders.

But the wife likes the
bowtie quite a bit.

Yeah, I actually think this
one suits you a little better.

Bowties are for chumps,
anyway,

and I don't
think that's you.

Hmm.

All right, gorgeous.

We're ready.

Perfect. Okay, Ed,
if you'd like to follow me,

and Janie and Michael,
just follow on afterwards.

We're going to stick
quite closely here

to this red backdrop,

and we'll get to the other
side of the stage.

Yeah, we're on our way.

Just be careful of
these wires here.

People trip all the time.

Really neat, isn't it?

And past where we come
around the corner,

the stage juts out
kind of far,

and you don't want
to hit your--

Sylvia, I thought I told
you to stop bringing in

such good looking
contestants.

I'm starting to think you're
trying to make me look bad.

Hello, I'm Peter.

Peter, Peter. Hello.

Peter Tomarken.

Yes, Peter Tomarken, that
is, you are correct, sir.

Hello. Hi, Ed Long.

Long time,
no seeing you, buddy.

Okay, all right.
Big bucks today, okay?

You guys are going down.

Okay. And if you'd
like to follow me,

we're ready for you.

Next batch coming
out of the oven.

Catch this lot airing
in two weeks.

Rod Roddy.

Oh!
- Ow!

I'm sorry.

Michael!

Ow!

You got me with
the whammy.

Okay, this is--

Bill, you guys ready
for the next one?

Betatonic VHS tapes.

Keep your most precious memories
safe in one place forever.

Oh, they're just throwing
us in the deep end, huh?

Perfect.

Right.

I'm glad my wife packed
me an extra jacket.

Hey, you sure I look
okay with the--

Bill? You hear that?

Right.

There's my boy.

Chuck,
you want two scoops or one?

I'm lactose intolerant.

All right, everyone set?

All right,
let's have some fun.

Peter on his mark?

All right,
we'll begin in five, four--

Three, two.

You ready?

Always.

Big smiles! Come on!

Today, these three players
are after big bucks,

but they'll have to avoid
the whammy as they play

the most exciting game
of their lives.

From Television City
in Hollywood,

It's time to
Press Your Luck.

And now, the star of
Press Your Luck,

Peter Tomarken!

Thank you, thank you.

Thank you, Rod,

thank you, audience,

and thank you to you
viewers at home.

And welcome to the most
Vegas game in America.

This guy.

He's just busting our balls,
he doesn't mean anything by it.

He's here to look pretty,
not to have opinions.

Ready three.
- Go three.

Because today
is the final game

of our big Home
Player Spin.

Boo, boo, boo.

Yes, yes,
it really is very sad,

but at least good old Billy
of Greenville, Kentucky

won himself a trip--

Ready three.
Go three.

- in Hawaii!

So let's meet our three
contestants

vying for the
big bucks today.

11,516 buckaroos yesterday,
Ed.

Yesterday? It feels like
just 15 minutes ago, Peter.

Well, you got your
church vans, Ed,

but let me ask you,

what are you going to do with
the rest of the money, huh?

Are you going to buy a
bunch of E cup brassieres?

Well, no, I definitely
won't be doing that, Peter.

I'm not sure what I'll do.

I can still
hardly believe it.

Well, believe it, baby.

Let's hope you add
to that today.

Thank you.

Our next contestant
is Michael Larson.

Welcome, Michael,
from Lebanon, Ohio.

Yes, sir.

And, and what do you do there
in Lebanon, Ohio, Michael?

Oh,
I drove an ice cream truck.

And I...

But I'm hoping to make
enough money

so that I can take next
summer off.

And who do we have
watching at home

in Lebanon today, Michael?

That would be my little
girl, Susie, watching.

And the most beautiful,

prettiest girl in all the
world, my wife, Patricia.

The most beautiful
woman in the world?

Michael, you should
have warned me. I--

Where do you guys find
these people?

What can I say, Arnold?

Crazies come to me.

It's a blessing
and a curse.

Yeah, I get it.
Finally, Janie Lipton.

Rough around the edges,
but--

- from San Bernardino.

For clout.

Yeah, that's right.
- Let's stop talking.

I work for a crazy
Polish dentist

who's been known to booze
with his patients

before operations to
calm down a little.

Well, there's nothing
wrong with that.

You all know how it goes.

You buzz in with the correct
answer to the trivia question,

you get three spins.

If you agree with the
correct answer,

one spin.

Incorrect answers, well,
no spins, of course.

Okay, let's get right
to it, folks.

Crow's feet are facial
lines around the eyes

that we get from squinting.

According to a study,
at what age?

Janie?

Forty?

On average, is it thirty,
forty, or fifty?

Ed?

Forty.

Michael?

Forty, yeah.

That is right, it is forty.
It is forty.

Janie gets three spins, Ed
and Michael each get one.

And that's nothing that I have
to worry about at my age, right?

I mean, I'm not a day
over 25, so...

All right,
next question.

You probably have president
FDR in your pocket right now

because his likeness--

Fifty dollar bill?

His likeness appears
on the head side

of what American coin?

Slow your roll, buddy.

Ah, he's just nervous.

Well, I don't have any $50
bills in my pocket right now

like Michael, Peter,
so I'm gonna say dime.

Janie?

Me too.

It is the dime.

Just have fun with it.

I thought you told your boy
to study his trivia, Bill.

Those who sailed
in the wooden shoe

were winking,
blinking, and--

Ed?

Nod.

Nod. Michael?

Nod.

Janie?

Nod.

Yes, it's Nod.

That is right.

What member of
the wedding party

is responsible for giving
the check to the clergyman?

Michael?

It's the best man.

Ed,
he says it's the best man.

What say you?

A pastor really should know
this one, shouldn't he, Peter?

He should know it.

I'm going to say
the best man.

Janie.

Best man.

Yes, it's the best man.

Michael gets three spins.

We'll cozy up with
you know who,

and see if we can't turn
those spins into big bucks.

Big bucks.

Right after this.

And we're out.

Back in 60.

Sixty, okay.

This is fun, right?

Yeah, real good.

Hey, could, could I go make
a phone call real quick?

Oh, phones are prohibited
during tapings.

Standards and practices.

But if you'd like to
stretch your legs or...

This adrenaline
has me itchy.

Do you think I have
time to do a lap?

Well,
you have sixty seconds.

Todd.

Oh, thank you.
- Careful.

Whitman.

Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.

Bill.

Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Did I miss the spins?

Oh, no, ma'am,
just in time.

Here.
I remember what you like.

Oh, thank you, honey.

You're welcome.

You're late.

Don't talk off me.

Some old guy and his wife
over at Price

snuck a newspaper
into the audience.

Did they walk away
with anything good?

They weren't
even contestants.

All right, team we're
back in five, four--

Three, two.

Welcome back to
Press Your Luck.

You know what time it is,
folks.

I'd like to introduce you
to my much edgier costar,

the big board.

Now the big board
is filled with money,

a couple of surprises
here and there,

including a dreamy stay

at the iconic Fairmont
Resort in Hawaii.

But be careful of the whammies
because they'll take you

right back down to zero.

Now, remember,
you can pass your spins

at any time
during your turn.

Player with the lowest
score after the trivia round

gets to go first.
Michael, that's you.

Oh.

I think I'm ready.

Smile! Big bucks!
Big bucks!

Right. Big bucks,
big bucks, come on.

Stop!

Two-thousand!

Michael, now do you
want to pass your spins,

or do you want
to keep going?

I'll keep going, Peter.
Okay.

Come on.

No whammies.

Big bucks.

Stop!

Wow. Another $1,500,
Michael.

What do you want to do,
Michael?

Do you want to,
you want to go again?

Keep going.

Okay, he's going to go.
Let's go, let's go.

Stop! Oh!

Ah, the whammy.

Shit. Fuck.

Whoops.

Can we say that? Is that
PG? Can we say that?

Fuck.

Can we say shit on CBS,
Bill?

I can't fix that in post,
boss.

Okay.

Okay, we gotta go again.

Let's remind our contestants
to watch their mouths.

Travis!

Charles, shut the fuck up.

Who's Travis?

Come on, guy, come on.

All right, resetting again
to the whammy reaction,

and let's all remember
to watch our language.

Guy? Guy in the middle?

This is day time.

Sorry, habit.

Wash your kids'
mouths with dish soap

for less swear words.

Two--

Tough luck there, Michael, but
you'll get them next round.

For now,
you're down to zero.

Okay, Ed, it's your turn to take
on the big, beautiful board.

You ready?

Well, I am ready for it,
Peter.

Let's go, big bucks.

Come on, we want to see
some big bucks! Big bucks!

Yeah!

No whammies,
no whammies, stop!

And...

- go in to our next round.
Stay tuned.

And we're out,
that's ninety.

Can we get make up, please?

Make up for Peter.

I don't sweat, I glow.

Bathroom?

What?

Yes, I got to move.

Me too. This coffee really
got me going.

Yeah, same. We should all
go to the bathroom.

We'll be right back.

Okay, it's right this way.

The mens is on the right,
and the ladies--

Thanks, Sylvia.

I thought you had to go.

No, I know what you said about
standards and practices and all,

but I'm an idiot, and in
all the rushing around today

and all the hoopla, I just,

I forgot to call my little
girl on her birthday,

Wow.

Yeah.

It's 3:30 where she is,

so she must have just
finished cartoons and, please,

I'm just kind
of freaking out.

Oh. I really can't.

The rules.
- Yeah, yeah.

But I just,
I wouldn't even ask

if it didn't
mean everything.

Imagine if your daddy
didn't call you

on your special day.

Bill found me
where they find

all great game show
personalities--

wearing a mouse costume
on Hollywood Boulevard.

Isn't that right, Rod?
Isn't that right?

That's correct. Peter.

See? That is correct.

Come on, come on.

No one is available
to take your call.

Please leave a message
after the tone.

You know, hey!
Today's the day.

You need to pick up
the phone,

so if you can be close
by the phone,

I would really--

Hey, come on.

Shit! Fuck me!

I'm sorry, I didn't--

Oh, everyone back to set.

Nervous tic?

Oh, I'm quitting smoking.

Good for you.

Sorry about the whammy.

Huh?

Wha-wha! The whammy.

All part of the game,
right?

At least I get to go first
this next round.

Bigger prizes,
bigger whammies.

Enjoy, and big bucks,
as they say.

Well, that certainly was a
sobering 90 seconds, wasn't it?

Four, three--

Big smile, smile,
smile, smile!

Yeah.

And we're back
with round two, folks.

Bigger prizes,
bigger whammies.

Now let's get right to it.

Now, the player with the lowest
amount of money from round one

gets to go first.
Michael, that--

That's me.

Yes, that is you, Michael.

Okay. All right, now.
Let's see those big bucks.

Big bucks!

Stop!

Four thousand
and a spin!

Gonna keep going,
keep going.

All right, he's gonna go,
he's gonna go.

Stop!

Five thousand
and a spin!

Michael, you want to pass,
or you want to keep going?

Oh, I'm going to keep
going. I'm going.

Okay, here we go.

Stop!

Four thousand
and a spin!

Michael, you're on a roll!

Again, let's go again.

Michael,
you're up to 13,000.

Now, do you want to,
you want to go again?

I said again!

Okay,
he wants to go again.

Stop!

$16,000, Michael Larson!

What are you thinking,
Michael? That's a lot of money.

Are we all seeing this?

I said again.

Quite a roll he's on.

You should know better
than to doubt me by now.

He's really
getting up there.

Lady Luck
is on his side.

Big bucks.

Stop. Whoo!

I just can't
believe this.

Okay,
what do you want to do?

Oh, uh, keep going.

You want to keep going?
Okay, we're going to,

we're going to keep,
we're going to keep going.

Michael wants
to keep going.

This is what we want,
right?

He's got nerves of steel,
this guy.

Stop!

Wow!

Okay.

What do you want to do?

I want to keep going,
Peter.

Stop!

Michael Larson,
that is $19,000.

$19,000, Michael.

$21,000 is the highest
we've had, right?

That's if you don't
hit a whammy.

Michael, I want you
to think about this.

Fucking pass, man.

I'm going to
press my luck.

I want to keep going.

He's, he's going to go!

Stop. Whoo!

Holy shit!

Put that thing, ah,
go to that thing.

Record breaker!

$24,000 makes you our biggest
winner to date, Michael.

Okay, so he's a,
he's a record breaker.

Not gonna guess.

Now pass it.

Think about this.

$24,000 is a lot of money,
Michael.

Are you going to go?

What are you going to do?

Are you done,
Michael Larson?

Don't stop!
Come on, you got this!

No, no, I'm gonna go.

What's wrong with this guy?

Well, biggest winner,
biggest loser.

Either way,
I don't write the checks.

Don't tell Kauffman.

Stop!

Four thousand dollars!

Twenty-eight
thousand dollars.

Yes, again! Again, again!

He's going to go!

Commercial in fifteen.

Tell Junior to
bring me Peter.

In here?

Where the hell else?

We'll be right back to
watch Michael Larson

take the name of
this game to heart

right after these messages.

Four, three,
two, one, and we're out.

That's a two.

Wow. Hey, hot hands,
that was pretty cool.

Bill wants to talk to you.

Do you know what for?

No, I have no idea.

Bill, is everything
good up there?

Can
you stop smiling

just so I can get in
your creases?

Oh, I'll try.

All right.

So dinner tonight, ladies,
on me. Ed?

You know, I don't know
if our boyfriends

would be too
happy about that.

They're the jealous type.

Oh.

But, you know,
you make it to 50,000,

I think they could look
the other way.

Well, yeah,
well, easy then.

Just cancel
your plans then.

Fifty-thousand.

I bet your wife won't mind you
coming home with that, huh.

Hmm.

$28,000 begs to differ with
you, Mister Carruthers.

Well, Peter,
something is...

What?

Something's off with him.

What,
you think he's shitty?

You don't think he's--

No, no, he's just not playing
the fucking game right.

He's got a loose nut
or something.

He's not computing
the risks, Pete.

Yeah, well,
it seems to be working out

pretty well for him so far.

Besides, what do you want
me to do about it?

I mean,
I'm a little rusty, but...

Oh, for fuck's sake.

You've got to scare him.

Well--

With with the chances.

All right, look, look.

We love the guy, right?

And we want him to
go home a winner,

but this is enough.

All right, can we
have all our contestants

back into places, please?

Ah!

My shin! Fucking jerk!

Oh, shit. Shit! I'm sorry.

Three, two--

And we're back with an
unbelievably exciting,

tense game of
Press Your Luck,

where Michael Larson's
winnings

continue to grow despite
the formidable odds

stacked against him.

Now, Michael, I have seen a
lot of lucky streaks in my day,

but no one,
and I mean no one,

has ever been as dumbly
brave as you.

Now, the mathematicians
up in the booth

are giving me six to one
odds, Michael.

That means you push it
six more times,

One of them is bound
to be a whammy.

Now, we'd hate to see
you lose it all, Michael,

am I right?

Go for it,
Michael.

Well,
that's one man's opinion.

Michael,
what do you want to do?

Do you want to spin
and risk losing it all?

It's a lot of money,
Michael.

It's a lot of money.

What the fuck is going on?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me think about it.

You're right, you're right.
Peter.

That's a lot of money.

It's a lot of money,
Michael.

Yeah.

I think you got to spin it
to win it.

I'm here to win it,
and I want to play it,

and I say I'm
going to go again.

I'm going to go again.

Fantastic.

I tried to warn him.

Close your eyes, everybody.
Michael's going streaking.

Give me a walkie.

Stop!

Hey, Chuck, could you
switch over to two?

Okay Michael,
what are you going to do?

I'm going
to spin again.

Okay, he's going--

Bill?

I think I got played.

Stop!

I'm sorry,
can you say that again?

My volume is really low.

Dammit Chuck, just find out
who the fuck this guy is.

Unfortunately, that's above
my pay grade, Bill.

Stop!

Well then, we might just have
to change your title then.

I got to ask you
to think about this.

It's a lot of money, Michael.
Are you going to go to?

What are you going to do?
Huh, do you want to,

you want to keep going?

Okay, Todd, I'm driving.

Oh, I can do it.

That wasn't meant to
be a conversation.

Thank you for calling
the audition hotline

for Press Your Luck.

If you would like to take
our trivia quiz,

please press one.

If you would like--

Fucker.

And sometimes,
I drive an ice cream truck

during the summer,
when I need to.

Can I help you?

Oh, Jim.
Hey, how you doing, man?

I'm just...

Can I help you?

Unbelievable.

Something's wrong.

Don't spiral.

You think that he's
working alone?

Is anyone listening to me?

We don't even know that
he's doing anything at all.

I mean, maybe we take a
break. We can figure things--

Oh, no. You can't do that.

You got to let him play,
without interference.

Innocent until
proven guilty.

All right.

The law remains,
even in the studio.

You going to go again?

Ear piece!

We might have an ear piece.

Jesus, he's just itchy.

Let's take a
break for tech.

I'm going
to keep going!

Keep going, Peter.

Yes, now.

And if I find out that any
of you are in cahoots

with this fucking guy,
I will find you.

Big bucks, come on!

Stop!

Unbelievable.

More of the force that is
Michael Larson

right after this
short break.

Already?

And we're out in five,
four, three.

Forty-five seconds.

No Sweat A.C.

Is this Lyle Roberts?

The one and only.
What can I do for you?

This is Bill.

And I'm a clerk at the
Justice Court of Lebanon.

Okay.

And I'm calling because
your restraining order

came across my desk against
Michael Larson

because it's
about to time out.

And we were just calling
to see if you wanted

to re-renew the charge.

Oh, already?

Yeah, we just got
back on her feet

after his last
Ponzi scheme.

Sure, sure. Yeah.

We just actually have
a few questions,

if that's okay?

Okay.

Could you let us know if he has
violated the, the order to date?

No, not to my knowledge.

Okay, great.

And can you remind us what the
initial charge was for again?

What did you say your
name was again?

I beg your pardon?

Dude, my copy here says
we still got sixteen months

that we don't have to worry
about the guy.

Michael, is that you,
you fucking loser?

If I see you again, man,
I'm going to fucking--

You going to keep that
promise, Michael?

Huh?

You said dinner tonight
if you hit 50K.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

You seem nice, but I don't
know why I said that earlier.

My wife would kill me.

Don't worry about it,
sweetheart.

You take it all home
to her, hmm.

Do I need any makeup?

What's the use? He's the
one being seen on screen.

He's just
a bit of a sweater.

Do I look like I'm
sweating? I'm sweating now?

Mm-mm.

All right, please keep
it together, everyone.

All right,
my little bunny.

Come on, smile!

My mom says hi
and have a good first day.

Hey, you got
your ice cream? Yeah!

- different
this time.

Patricia!
Go on, get your mommy here.

Are you craving
for breakfast?

Okay.

You're living
the dream.

All right, here we go.

And one of my favorite
songs by Waylon Jennings.

What the fuck?

A Man to Light Up
My Life.

Okay, Amanda,
what do you want to do?

You're at 4,500, you have--

Lily Is a veterinarian
from Sherman Oaks.

That's right.

Wow, that's an
interesting job, isn't it?

What's the most
unruly animal

you've ever had
in your office?

Cecilia, you're at 750.
You have three spins.

What do you want to do?

Again.

Okay.

Oh Cecilia,
don't go breaking my heart.

Don't break my heart.
No whammies, no whammies!

Stop!

Three thousand
and a spin!

Three thousand and a spin,
$68,500.

How does it feel to own
a network, Michael?

It feels good. Another spin
would feel even better.

Okay, all right.

Stop!

You going to go again?
What are you going to do?

I'm going to go again!
I'm going to press my luck!

T-shirts, really?

Oh, yeah.
Third counts four,

we're heading on to
the second episode.

Hey, do you think
I could talk to you

about something
for a second?

Later.

We were out in three, two--

How much time's left?

Oh, there you are.
What the fuck you find?

Do not wander off.

All right, what the fuck?

Watch, watch.

Hey, Whitman, can you rewind to
the last three spins, please?

Is this overtime?

Will you just, please?
I said please?

All right, go to Michael
Larson's close up.

Now watch his eyes.

Now watch the board.

Stop! Whoo!

Okay, next spin.

Slow it down.

Watch his eyes,
now watch the board.

Watch his eyes.

Celebrating a little
prematurely, don't you think?

And stop.

Chuck, what the hell
am I seeing here?

He's memorized
Bill's patterns.

Memorized the pattern?
- Yes.

Aren't they random?

There are five.
Five?

Who gives a fuck about
how many patterns--

More than five, at least!
Bill, what the fuck?

Oh, enough. Enough.

The good news is
is that he's cheating.

Well, he's cheating.

He's cheating?

Yeah.
- Yeah.

Oh, Chuck,
you are one smart cookie.

And that is why
I keep you around.

I told you he was
a fucking creep.

Yes, yes, you did.

You guys,
I'm so sorry about this.

It's just the nature and
the reality of game shows.

Here we are.
Have a t-shirt. For you.

You got to be kidding me. I
lost my Saturday for this.

Oh, thank you, Jack.

Another one.

Hazel.

I can wear it to bed,
I guess.

Perfect.

Keep it.

Hey, blow him up with
a fucking whammy.

If only I had the chance.

Sorry again about that.

Yeah.

Say "No whammies!"

No whammies.

So lucky.

Lucky, huh?
Yeah, my take on luck

is that luck is just a good
excuse to do nothing

and then hope that
an opportunity

comes a-knocking.

If you open your eyes and
keep your mind wondering,

you'll find that the best
opportunities

just sprout up in places
that people aren't looking.

Oh, and here's a tip too.

Stop giving your money
to that place.

What you do is you
go to a bank,

you sign up, you cash out,
close down.

Sign up, cash out,
close out.

Bright kids.
I'm going to grab a snack.

I'm burning a lot of
calories up there.

Ed, do you want something?

No, thanks.

Sit tight, everyone.

The big guys upstairs say the
next episode will begin shortly.

Has anyone seen my Pepto?

I have not.

Yeah. It's good.
-- to see you.

Yeah, it's my favorite.

They have these carne asada
tacos that are extraordinary.

Oh.

Yeah, yeah. So what are
you doing this weekend?

I thought you were going to
pick me up on the Bronco.

Am I going to pick you up?
Yeah, yeah.

Oh, come on.

Hello?

Hey, you picked up.

Hey, where the heck is--

No, I didn't realize you'd
invited the entire, whole class,

but it's her birthday, Patricia,
I should be able to call.

No, no. Just, well,
I've been busy out of town.

Yeah, you know what,
Trish?

I'm actually closing
a big deal right now.

I'm right smack dab
in the middle of it.

It's going to
change everything.

And it could change
everything for us.

If you give me--

No, I know.

No.

Susie, phone!

Oh, baby, Susie!

Oh, my, Susie baby! Sue.

What kind of cake?

Oh, no. You don't like
chocolate, do you?

I like it now!
It's my favorite!

No. Oh, well, happy
birthday, my sweet girl.

Oh, you sound so big.

Hey, I'm not done!
I'm still eating that!

I miss you.

I miss you too, Daddy.

I'll save some cake.
Are you coming over?

Yeah, no, I...

Hey, you know what?
Can you put Mommy back on?

No, that's mine!
Give it back!

Just for...

Hey, Trish? Hey, baby?

Moving places!

Ah, shit!

Oh! Oh.

You scared me.

My gal's a worrier.

Hmm.

She, you know, likes me
to check in on her.

Mike, Michael,
where have you--

Hey there, Ed.

Hey, Janie.

Keep heads
turning with Timex.

We'll be watching you.

Ed, have you seen
my grip master?

No.

Janie, have you seen it?
Janie?

Have you seen my--

Your what?

Grip master.

I'm glad it's gone.

No, no, no.
I refuse to believe it.

I don't know
what to tell you, Bill.

He's not cheating.

He's counting cards.

It's not blackjack, Chuck.

Anybody could have
memorized five patterns.

We're back in one.

What?
So, so what can we do?

You ride it out.
It's Michael's show now,

unless he gives up or slips
up, whichever comes first,

then get more patterns.

Who in God's name
said five was enough?

Well, we we didn't
have the budget.

Might have cost you
less than 65,000.

Arnie.

What are you doing?

Time to call Kaufman.

Are you fucking kidding?

No more calls in or out until
we can get ahead of this thing.

Can I go to the ladies
room at least, Bill?

I don't know, can you?

Whitman, hold.

I'll be right back.

All right, everyone,
we're gonna hold.

Okay, ideas.

Well, he slipped up before,
maybe he'll slip up again.

Hey Bill,
Peter wants to talk to you.

Tell him to go
sit on a duck.

Fresh out of ducks,
Billiam.

But I just want to
say thank you

for forgetting the
Home Spin today.

And you guys really
don't need me,

I can go home for the day.

Right.

Let's play.

Okay, you heard it.

Let's play.

They say there's a first
time for everything.

Well,
this game is no exception.

This is the first time in the
history of Press Your Luck

we won't be finishing
in our allotted time.

This is Hurricane Michael,
an ordinary man from Ohio.

He has, until now, put the
network out of $ 69,500

with no end in sight.

Now, let's pick up where
we left off,

with Michael winning, and
the rest of us wondering

if we'll be working for him
by the end of the day.

What can I tell you, Peter?
I'm feeling really good.

You've still got two spins,
Michael.

You couldn't give
those spins away.

What,
what are you going to do?

Again!

Of course,
he's going to go. Okay.

Come on, big bucks!

Stop!

Let's go!
Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go!

He's going,
he's going.

What's, what's that?

That sound means
it's time for our final

Home Player Spin.

Now our lucky home player,
and Michael,

they are indeed lucky
to be paired with you,

will get whatever
amount you land on.

Now, Michael, why don't
you pick up that card

right there in front of you, and
tell us who you're playing for?

Hmm.

Who's the lucky guy or gal?
Michael?

Lyle Roberts from

Cleveland, Ohio.

From Ohio!
A couple of Buckeyes!

From one Ohioan to another.

Well, you wouldn't happen
to know Lyle,

would you, Michael?

You guys hang out
together?

Ohio is a very big state,
Peter.

Touché.

Well, Lyle Roberts,
this one is for you.

Okay, let's get it.

Stop!

A trip to the five star luxury
Fairmont Resort, Hawaii.

Lyle Roberts, you will receive
the equivalent of that.

Okay, Michael, you
still got this one spin.

What are you
gonna do with it?

Oh, wait, wait.

Holding.

Did somebody
move the light?

The light? What?
What light?

There's a light directly
in my eyes.

No, no.

You see that?
In the middle there.

Did somebody
move the light?

Nobody moved the light.
The lights are fixed.

I'm going to take a lap.

Nobody is leaving.

This is just about
ridiculous.

Just get somebody to look
at the light, all right?

We're not wasting
any more time. Janie!

What the fuck did he say?

The light?

What light?

Someone get
eyes on that.

I just want to get
today over with.

What did I say?

Sorry, D,
but I've got a crew

who would like to
get some sleep

before coming back to
the studio tomorrow.

That's assuming you all have
jobs to come back to, right?

Ron!

It has gone to the dogs.

I'm, I'm sorry she
pulled you away

from whatever
you were--

$70,000. That's like two
salaries, isn't it?

Well,
so we got a fucking dud.

Well, I guess that's
the first time

in all the time we've
worked together.

I guess it only takes one dud
to find a flaw in the system.

Five patterns, Bill?

Hey, it's not my game,
it's this fucking guy.

I don't know
what to tell you.

Heads are going
to roll for this.

Who let him in?

Captain going down
with the ship?

No, Chuck Turner.
- Oh.

Chuck, yeah, he, he's the
one who handles casting.

Chuck, that's right. Chuck.

Let's get Chuck up here.

Right.

Can you, uh...

You have to go back.

Hey, guys,
I just need it quiet, okay?

We're about a half hour
past where we should be.

Who the hell is this guy,
anyway?

You guys are giving him
special treatment.

No, no, we're not.

I bet Junior would
love to find out

you let him use the phone.

Junior, you know what?
I'm out with Janie.

Whatever.

What's going on?

They're fucking with me.

Lyle Roberts.

Well, who is it?

Somebody who was
a real ass to me.

I'm sure it's just
a coincidence.

No. No, it's not.

Are you doing
something wrong?

Just take a deep breath.

Yeah.

Most times when I feel like
someone's watching me,

turns out to be
my own shadow.

I don't have eyes
on Chuck.

No, we can look for him.

Junior!

Does anyone have
eyes on Chuck?

Well...

Oh, I'm gonna do what he
said, I'm gonna take a breath.

Thank you for your
patience, folks.

Please sit tight and
don't wander off.

Michael!

I said please
sit tight.

The phone was taken
in for maintenance.

You must have a real nice
VCR, huh?

Man, but you forgot about
the consequences, Michael.

Careful.

Is this the example that you
want to set for your daughter?

It'd be a real pity if you
got held up here in L.A.

Tell me, Michael.

Who the fuck were you
calling, anyways?

Drive safe, Michael!

Oh, excuse me, sir.

Sir?

Hey! My truck!

Somebody broke in.

What in the--

Oh, hi. Sorry to bother you.
Have you been here all day?

No, I just got called in.
They needed backup.

Hey.
- Well, my truck--

You got the call, too?

Yeah, they sounded
pretty desperate.

Supposed to be a big scene.

Yeah.

Suspect--
- Suspect is approaching.

Suspect is approaching.
- Suspect is approaching.

Suspect is approaching.

Suspect--
- Suspect is approaching.

Hey, hey, buddy!
Right behind you!

Hey!

Remember it all
with Iomax,

iodine supplements
for memory.

Memorize the patterns for
your favorite game show.

And now your host,
Leon Hart.

All right, folks, we have a
great show for you tonight.

I want to...

Well, hello.

I think I got
turned around.

Yet, you are right where
you are supposed to be.

Funny how that happens,
huh?

Your seat's right there.

Hello.

Oh, come on, people.
It's okay.

He doesn't bite. I think.

Do I know you from
somewhere, Michael?

Not America's Most Wanted,
right?

Boy, I hope not.

Where are you
coming in from?

Lebanon.
It's a little city in Ohio.

Capital O-H--

I-O. That's right.

That's a good long
ways away to land here,

gracing our humble
stage tonight,

but no one ever comes
to Hollywood by mistake,

and no one ever calls from
Vegas just to say hello.

What's got you running
from Ohio?

Uh, well,

you know, it's...

It's funny.

All I want to do is have
breakfast with my family,

but the only way that
I can do that

is if I'm on their
television set,

if it's tuned to the
right channel,

at the right time,

on the right day.

I don't know.

Maybe this time I've
pushed it too far.

I went 3,000 miles away to
get closer to my little girl,

but now it's, now I'm just
3,000 miles away.

Maybe that's for the best.

The mess I've made,

all these months of
hard work though,

they were for her.

Trying.

In the only way this brain
knows how to work.

I'm trying.

I think I may have needed
a bit more luck this time

than I thought.

You must be doing something
right, son,

because no one ends up in
my chair for no reason.

My, my Patricia,

she just goes
gaga over you.

Well, your Patricia has
got excellent taste.

You know, I--

Michael!

Well, if I didn't lose
my job yesterday,

I'm sure as hell going
to lose it today,

so thank you for that.

Suspect is on--
- Run it better.

Sylvia, you found him?

Yeah. No, I have him.

Yeah,
he turned right around.

We're, we're on our way
back now. Thanks.

Just please, please,
please, for me,

just stay in your seat until
the end of the episode.

We want
Michael!

We want Michael!

Wow!
Bravo, bravo!

Chuck's a sucker for
these kind of things.

Check who's back.

You're crazy
about this guy.

They love you, Michael.
They love you.

Can you turn the applause
light off?

I'm not pressing
the button.

Just fucking mute it.

Okay.

I thought you ran a tighter
ship than this.

Well, I thought we took care of
our little ice cream man problem

organically, but I guess
we weren't so lucky.

Ron, welcome to the party,
sir.

Chuck, I'm surprised
you're still with us.

Bill,
what's he talking about?

Chuck, we have a problem.

Somebody didn't
vet this guy.

It's a shame.

Charles.

I'm, I'm sorry.

You guys want to hear
the fucking truth?

Wait, are we being
fucking idiots?

I mean, this, this guy's
about to be a national hero.

The little guy who comes
and takes down the man.

I mean, that that's a
narrative we should embrace

in a big, fat bear hug.

I mean, if Michael's making
money off us,

we should do the same.

Yeah, well,
we'll do it better.

You know, we lean in, promote
the hell out of this show.

Michael Larson, the
luckiest man in America.

Yeah, CBS makes Michael's
dreams come true.

Exactly.

Oh, you're thinking
like an executive.

I mean, that that's the
American dream, right?

I mean, that's why people
watch game shows.

Better watch your back,
Bill.

Todd's coming for your job.

Well, after all, I taught
him everything he knows.

Yeah,
get me Carl Johnson at GGT.

Tell him that we're going
to have bigger ad space

than the Olympics.

You may have saved
my skin with that one.

Yeah, now.

Stop!

Let's go! Let's go!
Let's go!

Let's go, let's go,
let's go!

Let's go! He's going!

This is Lyle.

Sorry,
I have the wrong number.

What's it, put that down,
Patricia,

put that down, please.

Hello?

Patricia.

Patricia?

Put that down, please.

$97,750!

Michael,
do I even need to ask?

Let's go, baby, let's go.

Okay.

Stop!

Oh, yes!

You just made it all the
way to $100,000, Michael,

more than anyone in the
history of game shows.

Peter, I never would
have believed--

Well, believe it,
believe it.

Now, Michael, we have
someone special on the phone

who I would imagine is
very, very proud of you.

Hello?

Hello!
Hello?

Yes, am I speaking to the most
beautiful woman in the world?

What?

Patricia, it's Peter.

Who?

It's,
it's Peter Tomarken.

Who?

From Press Your Luck.

What the fuck?

Calling you from CBS--
- What is this?

- in Los Angeles.

Uh...

I'm here with your husband,
Patricia.

Michael,
what's he talking about?

Trish, I'm on the show.

I'm finally doing it,
I'm winning.

He's winning. Not only
is he winning, Patricia--

Jesus, Michael,
what is wrong with you?

You've got to stop.

You're making me
absolutely crazy.

Let me call you back later,
Trish. We can, we can talk--

I don't want
a TV character.

I want normal.

Sign the papers
and move on, Michael.

You really just don't know
when to stop, do you?

It seems that we've
lost connection.

And I'm,

I'm sorry, I don't, I don't,
I don't know what to say.

Come on, Michael.

Mike.

Michael.

Yeah,
fuck you!

Excuse me, excuse me
for just a second.

Bill, if you're going to
use me as a scapegoat,

I'd like a little warning.

You should have
run that by me.

You're jeopardizing
all your jobs.

This does not come from me.
I have no idea who would...

You?

Me? Me?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I did exactly what Junior
told me to do.

Junior,
who authorized that patch?

I got a fucking note, Bill.
I thought it was you.

See?

Fucking circus.

Okay, okay. It doesn't fucking
matter who made the call.

Let's fix it.

Pretend it never happened.

Sylvia, I need you to get
Michael some water,

and back on set.

Are we ordering dinner?

I don't--
- Okay.

You copy?

Todd,
we have a problem.

He's not coming out.

I want a phone now!

I'll go get
the pastor.

Todd.

No, no, no, no, no.

This is my show.

I'll deal with him.

Mike, I know it's been
a hard day for you.

I don't think any of us
could really know the depth

of what you're
going through.

Cynthia, what's the word?

It's Sylvia.

He's locked himself inside.

But, but knowing you,
Michael,

you'll be able to get out
of this one, too.

I'm a fuck up.

Michael,
it's Mister Carruthers.

You are anything but
a fuck up, my friend.

I'm here, Mike.

I thought I could
change for her,

but my worst idea yet.
Should have never come here.

The whole place is a lie.

Hey, you're doing the best
you can with what you got,

and it seems pretty
darn good to me.

Ed you heard her,
she just wanted normal.

When she fell for you, she
fell for anything but normal.

Ah.

Michael Larson.

Hi.

Oh, boy, you fucked me,
Michael.

No,
I guess you know by now

that we know what
you're doing.

Well, what am I doing then?

Michael.

What?

You memorized the fucking
game, Michael.

Is that cheating?

Oh, well, I would just
rather get my money

and get on the road,
you know?

Oh no, I understand that.

But, Michael,

Michael, have a seat.

Michael, there,
there is no money

without finishing the show.

I mean, you must know that.

Listen, you had us squirming
there for a minute or twenty,

but, but now we,
me, CBS,

we want you to win because
you're a star.

Oh, yeah. I saw it
yesterday, but I didn't,

I didn't know it was
going to strike me

like a fucking truck today.

But you are a star,
and you're about to be seen

on every television screen
in America.

National hero.

I mean,
they're talking t-shirts,

coffee cups,
and talk shows.

Michael Larson,
luckiest man in America.

My friend, you are about
to take off and,

and we want to be the wind
beneath your wings.

And it all starts with you
going back out there,

and winning.

T-shirts?

Yeah, t-shirts,
you name it.

So, Michael, you just go
out there and you push it

until we say stop.

Mike, is everything
okay in there?

Yeah, I'm just,
we figured it out.

I do want to talk
to her first.

Of course.

Just take your time,

get yourself ready,

and we'll see you
back on stage.

Bill.

Charles.

Some people are using this
for personal calls.

Are you coming up?

After you.

Hey, what the hell is this?
You living in Shangri-La?

This is a television
studio. Let's go, let's go.

We almost got in a little bit
of trouble there, didn't we?

We sure did.

We sure did.

Motherfucker!

Huh.

Eleven a.m., here we come.

Okay,
let's get into our places.

It's time to
make some money.

That's my cue.

Be good to our
boy out there.

Todd, you want to drive?

Uh...

All right. Make me drink?

Guys,
the ice cream man is back.

Why ice cream man?

It's because he's an
ice cream man, Ron.

He's a fucking
ice cream man.

Fantastic.

You got this,
Michael!

We love you,
Michael!

All right, cozy in, boys.

Everyone quiet!

This could be
a profitable night.

Five, four, three.

Michael Larson,

the man who cannot
be contained.

Well, Michael, here we are.

I think I know the answer,
but I have to ask.

With one spin still
on the board,

what are you going to do?

You know what?
I think I'm...

I think that I'm going
to pass my turn

to my, to my good friend,
Ed Long.

Wow.

No.

What?

I thought you, I thought you
took care of this, Carruthers.

Son of a bitch!

Ed, you're up next.

If Michael can do it,
you can do it.

Well, I'm ready for it,
Peter.

Oh! That's okay.
Janie, you're up.

Come on, give me big bucks,
big bucks!

No whammies!

And stop. Whoo!

Seven-fifty,
seven-fifty and a spin.

Okay, you going to
go again, Janie?

I'm going to go again,
Peter.

Let's go again.

It's giving big bucks.

Michael Larson,
back in command.

Michael? Janie just passed
her last spin to you, Michael.

You have to spin it
one final time.

Don't fuck it up, jerk.

Do we have to air it?

Just once.
- Just once.

Alright, just once.

And then it's dead and
buried for good.

Okay,
let's see if Michael knows

how to jump off this
speeding train.

Michael,
I'm going to close my eyes.

But you,
please don't close yours!

Stop!

Well, yesterday feels like
just 15 minutes ago, Peter.

Well, you got your
church vans, Ed,

but let me ask you,

what are you going to do
with the rest of the money?

Are you going to buy a
bunch of E-cup brassieres?

Oh no, I definitely won't
be doing that, Peter.

I'm not sure what I'll do.

I can still
hardly believe it.

Well, believe it, baby.

Let's hope you add
to that today.

Now, our second contestant
is Michael Larson.

Welcome, Michael.
From Lebanon--

Oh my goodness.

Who is that?

Daddy.

Yeah.

Oh,
I drive an ice cream truck,

but I'm hoping to make
enough money here

so I can take
next summer off.

And who do we have
watching at home today

in Lebanon, Ohio, Michael?

That's right, I got my
daughter, Susie, watching.

And--

Seriously, Trish?

You ready for school?

I want to watch Daddy.

I know.
- No, no.

We're late. Let's go.

Come on.

Go ahead.

No fair.

I'm sick, Mom!

Love you, sweetie.

Have a good day at school.

- to calm down.

Well,
everyone needs a drink

before they have
dental surgery.

Wouldn't you agree?

Yes. Okay, folks,
you know how it goes.

Buzz in with the correct
answer to the trivia question,

you get three spins.

You agree with the correct
answer, one spin.

Incorrect answers, well,
no spins, of course.

All right,
let's get right to it.

What member of the wedding
party is responsible

for giving the check
to the clergyman?

The best man.
Michael?

That's the best man.

Ed,
he says the best man.

What say you?

A pastor should know this
one, shouldn't he, Peter?

Yes,
he should know this, Ed.

I'm going to say
best man.

Janie says the best man.
Yes, it's the best man!

Michael gets three spins.

Stop!

Sixteen-thousand,
Michael!

Sixteen.
What are you going to--

Again, again!
Come on now!

All right!

Listen to me, I hate to
throw you off your rhythm,

but this is your
sixth spin, Michael.

Now, the people in the
booth are telling me

the forecast is
looking whammy.

Come on, Michael.

Stop!

Okay, Michael.
Here we go.

Michael,
I'm going to close my eyes,

but you,
please don't close yours!

Stop!

That is the game!

A washer and dryer
valued at $ 800.

The unrefuted,
luckiest man in America.

What are you going to do,
Michael?

I don't know.
I don't know. We'll see.

We all hope, and wish
the best of luck for you,

Michael, for you and your,
and your family.

I understand that
yesterday

was your daughter's
birthday.

Yes.

What happened?

I didn't have any
money really

to buy her anything. She'll
get something now, very nice.

Like perhaps the state
of Tennessee.

And what did you used
to do, Michael?

What kind of work?

I've been an air
condition-- oh!

An air conditioning
mechanic,

and I drove an ice cream truck
for about ten, twelve years.

But I'm not this summer.
No way!

Evidently not!

But you have won at least
I think three times more

than anybody's ever won
on this show.

Congratulations.
Spend it wisely.

And get your daughter
a lovely birthday gift.

Okay,
thank you.

It's been a real treat.

Ed, you're leaving with
eleven-thousand, five--
