1
00:00:53,900 --> 00:00:54,900
believe it.

2
00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,720
Reflected news people throwing water at
each other.

3
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,620
Do you think the producer of Nightline
has these discipline problems?

4
00:01:03,860 --> 00:01:07,000
Do you think he has to yell at Ted
Koppel? Don't run with the stick, Ted.

5
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,000
could put out an eye.

6
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,960
Oh, come on, Miles. Lighten up. We're
one show away from the end of a really

7
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:13,960
grueling season.

8
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:16,800
Yeah, it could have been worse. We could
have played hide the executive producer

9
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,820
like we did last year.

10
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:21,880
You know, I'm really surprised at you,
Jim. Dance, little man.

11
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,480
See, this is pointless.

12
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:36,900
So I'll just conduct my business and go.

13
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,980
As you know, the network produces a game
show called Collegiate Q andA.

14
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Two teams of college students compete
for a cash prize by answering extremely

15
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:48,880
difficult questions.

16
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,420
Oh, yes, Doris and I often watch that
show. It's very well done. And TV Guide

17
00:01:52,420 --> 00:01:54,660
recently called it one of television's
most stimulating programs.

18
00:01:54,940 --> 00:01:58,580
I pray it's coming from a magazine whose
crossword puzzle has clues like cat on

19
00:01:58,580 --> 00:01:59,580
a hot tin blank.

20
00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:03,250
to the point, Miles.

21
00:02:03,310 --> 00:02:04,830
You're starting to look mighty dry.

22
00:02:06,510 --> 00:02:10,050
Every so often, the show invites a
celebrity team to compete against the

23
00:02:10,050 --> 00:02:12,010
students with the prize money going to
charity.

24
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:15,950
They've already had 2020 in primetime
live, and now they're asking FYI to

25
00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:19,150
appear. Now, wait a minute, Miles. Does
this show tape on a weekday when we're

26
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:22,130
supposed to be doing research, following
leads, and putting together stories?

27
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:24,670
Okay, that's the one drawback. I'm
afraid it does.

28
00:02:24,970 --> 00:02:25,970
Yay!

29
00:02:26,830 --> 00:02:28,850
So nice to work with such dedicated
professionals.

30
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:33,260
Now! You're going to need a strong five
-man team, but there's no need to panic.

31
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:38,080
I, your quick -thinking, Harvard
-educated executive producer, a man

32
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,780
his freshman year roommates as Miles
Silverbrain, will be leading you to

33
00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:45,900
victory. Okay, team, rehearsal tomorrow
in Studio H.

34
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,660
Now that that's settled, Miles, you have
until the count of three to get to the

35
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:51,400
elevators. Then we open fire.

36
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,100
You're not serious.

37
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:55,340
Are we serious?

38
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:01,840
Well, so am I.

39
00:03:06,540 --> 00:03:07,540
Hi,

40
00:03:11,060 --> 00:03:15,220
Murphy Brown, FYI. Looking forward to a
really great game. Let me introduce our

41
00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:18,080
team. Oh, there's no need, Miss Brown.
We're all big FYI fans.

42
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:23,100
I'm Ben Lawson. This is Melissa Denton,
Paul Hatfield, Donald Klein, and Alexis

43
00:03:23,100 --> 00:03:26,800
Stewart. Miss Brown, I know it sounds
like we're gushing, but it is a real

44
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,280
to be playing against all of you.

45
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:32,540
So... Where are you kids doing the old
reading, writing, and arithmetic thing?

46
00:03:32,780 --> 00:03:33,780
We're from Yale.

47
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:34,980
Oh, really?

48
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
So it's to be the crimson versus the
blue, is it?

49
00:03:39,180 --> 00:03:43,340
You're an Harvard man. Yeah, sorry to
ruin your day. Of course, there's five

50
00:03:43,340 --> 00:03:48,760
you and only one of me. You might still
have a chance. All right, people, let's

51
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,760
take our seats, please.

52
00:03:50,460 --> 00:03:52,540
FYI on one side, Yale on the other.

53
00:03:53,740 --> 00:03:57,260
A ruler, a habit, and a little more
facial hair, and that guy is the

54
00:03:57,260 --> 00:03:58,920
image of a nun I had in high school.

55
00:04:01,390 --> 00:04:02,390
Good afternoon, everyone.

56
00:04:02,410 --> 00:04:08,270
I am Dr. Wade Benoit, professor of
linear mathematics at Goucher College,

57
00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:09,890
am your host.

58
00:04:12,270 --> 00:04:16,769
Save your applause. I've been doing this
show for 15 years. So far, a lot of

59
00:04:16,769 --> 00:04:19,070
clapping hasn't put a swimming pool in
my backyard.

60
00:04:20,870 --> 00:04:24,710
Now, tomorrow night, you'll come out and
stand beside these desks.

61
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:27,770
Theme song, theme song, theme song.

62
00:04:29,030 --> 00:04:30,130
I will be introduced.

63
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:35,700
I will throw off the last few shreds of
self -respect that still cling to me and

64
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:36,700
then enter.

65
00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:39,780
More applause.

66
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:42,480
I check my yard. Still no swimming pool.

67
00:04:44,780 --> 00:04:48,460
I'll then ask each team member to
introduce him or herself.

68
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,160
Please keep it brief.

69
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:55,320
For example, I would point to you, young
man, and you would say... I'm Ben

70
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,080
Lawson, and I'm a senior majoring in
journalism.

71
00:04:57,340 --> 00:05:00,040
Very good. Or I might point to you, sir,
and you would say...

72
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,380
Frank Fontana, FYI.

73
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,520
I enjoy world travel, fine wine.

74
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,960
Though my work can sometimes be
dangerous, I'm trying to take myself a

75
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:10,960
less seriously.

76
00:05:12,220 --> 00:05:15,480
Fontana, just to clear up any confusion,
this is not the love connection.

77
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:19,180
All right.

78
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,320
Here are the rules of our game. They're
not that difficult. I will ask a series

79
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,560
of questions from different subject
categories.

80
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:28,980
When you feel you have the correct
answer...

81
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:32,830
Hit your buzzer and give that answer
when called upon.

82
00:05:33,730 --> 00:05:39,670
For example, I might ask, name the
substance in the brain associated with

83
00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:44,330
memory. And then, Mr. Dial, you would
buzz in and you would say...

84
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:49,910
And you would say, Mr.

85
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:53,810
Dial... The substance in the brain
associated with memory.

86
00:05:54,610 --> 00:05:56,410
It's a substance, is it? Yes.

87
00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:00,480
Whatever it is, I can certainly use some
of it now.

88
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,560
All right, then, Yale.

89
00:06:06,540 --> 00:06:09,020
The substance in the brain associated
with memory.

90
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,140
Selenium. Selenium, yes, very good.

91
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,620
Let's say I ask Yale, name the scholar
who, in 1543, produced the first

92
00:06:21,620 --> 00:06:24,360
model of the sun and planets. No, don't
answer, Yale.

93
00:06:24,810 --> 00:06:28,910
Let's say Yale had no answer. I would
then throw the question back over to

94
00:06:28,990 --> 00:06:32,210
and Miss Brown, you would say... I know
this.

95
00:06:32,970 --> 00:06:34,350
Galileo. That is incorrect.

96
00:06:35,410 --> 00:06:38,630
Well, let's not argue about it. Why
don't you check your source and get back

97
00:06:38,630 --> 00:06:39,630
me?

98
00:06:42,050 --> 00:06:43,650
Let me get back to you right now.

99
00:06:43,910 --> 00:06:44,910
You're wrong.

100
00:06:45,930 --> 00:06:46,930
Anyone else?

101
00:06:48,330 --> 00:06:50,130
On the end, you have the answer.

102
00:06:52,970 --> 00:06:53,970
I had it.

103
00:06:54,220 --> 00:06:55,440
I lost it. Daniel.

104
00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:57,260
Gail.

105
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,400
The scholar who produced the first
workable model of the sun and planets.

106
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:04,960
Copernicus. A bonus point for his full
name.

107
00:07:05,260 --> 00:07:07,900
Nicholas Copernicus. Another bonus point
for his middle initial.

108
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:10,620
Jake. Well, I'm sure we all have a good
idea.

109
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,380
So then, we'll see you tomorrow night.

110
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Gail, you may go.

111
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,440
FYI, please stay.

112
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,400
All right, FYI, I know what you're
doing.

113
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:21,579
What do you mean?

114
00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:22,880
You were holding back, weren't you?

115
00:07:23,310 --> 00:07:27,250
You didn't want to overwhelm the
students, so you pretended not to know

116
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:29,410
answers to those very elementary
questions.

117
00:07:30,930 --> 00:07:31,970
Well, Dr.

118
00:07:32,310 --> 00:07:35,850
Benoist, you caught us. Boy, is my face
red.

119
00:07:36,190 --> 00:07:39,630
Well, I know they're just kids, but
it'll make a better show if you allow

120
00:07:39,630 --> 00:07:40,630
yourselves to compete.

121
00:07:41,590 --> 00:07:45,110
Well, see you in 26 hours.

122
00:07:48,590 --> 00:07:50,130
It's supposed to be a game show.

123
00:07:53,130 --> 00:07:55,350
One section where we had to guess the
price of a dining room set.

124
00:07:57,330 --> 00:08:00,730
I knew we shouldn't have done this.
Didn't I say it was a bad idea? Didn't

125
00:08:00,890 --> 00:08:03,890
What are you talking about? You were the
first one who agreed to do it. Oh, no.

126
00:08:04,050 --> 00:08:06,430
Murphy is never wrong, Jim. Are you,
Murphy?

127
00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:08,430
Galileo, what a doofus answer.

128
00:08:09,660 --> 00:08:13,020
Why are you jumping in with an answer,
Mr. Fine Wine and World Travel?

129
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:14,980
Because it is useless information.

130
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:18,260
That's why. I don't have room in my
brain for stuff that's of no use in the

131
00:08:18,260 --> 00:08:20,820
world. You don't have room because your
brain is full of batting averages,

132
00:08:20,940 --> 00:08:23,700
women's phone numbers, and poems that
start with there once was a waitress

133
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:24,700
Stella.

134
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,860
Oh. Well, let's listen to the Harvard
graduate. I had it, but I lost it. Nice

135
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:31,720
answer. Only cost your parents $40 ,000.

136
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Hey, there.

137
00:08:34,409 --> 00:08:37,549
I just thought you should know the odds
in the bar are three to one. You guys

138
00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:40,049
will go down in flames tomorrow night.
Oh, shoot.

139
00:08:40,730 --> 00:08:43,390
What's the problem? You're all bright
people. You're going to let a bunch of

140
00:08:43,390 --> 00:08:46,750
college kids whip you? It has nothing to
do with being bright, Phil. They want

141
00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:49,790
us to know all this academic stuff. Most
of us haven't been in school in a long

142
00:08:49,790 --> 00:08:53,590
time. I agree. What normal adult has
even the faintest memory? Things like

143
00:08:53,590 --> 00:08:54,710
Pythagorean theorem.

144
00:08:55,050 --> 00:08:57,710
Ah, that would be the sum of the squares
to the sides of the right triangle

145
00:08:57,710 --> 00:08:59,150
equal the square of the hypotenuse.

146
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,540
Oh, look, you guys are just a little
rusty, that's all. You got most of the

147
00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:05,540
information covered.

148
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,920
Murphy, you know politics and
government, GM languages, Miles'

149
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,100
Law, Corky.

150
00:09:11,820 --> 00:09:17,480
The main thing is... Bill's right. We
can do this. We have to do this. I'm not

151
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320
going to embarrass myself on national
TV.

152
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:21,100
That's the vice president's job.

153
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,580
We need to organize a study group. Get
our hands on some reference material,

154
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:26,700
cover all the categories.

155
00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:30,790
Okay, what do you see in my place in
half an hour? Thanks for the pep talk,

156
00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:32,210
Phil. Glad to be of help.

157
00:09:32,930 --> 00:09:34,310
Oh, and here's a little tip.

158
00:09:34,990 --> 00:09:39,650
If the category is Nobel Prize, it's
odds on that the answer is Linus

159
00:09:39,730 --> 00:09:44,070
He won it twice, once for chemistry and
once for peace, so a pretty good shot at

160
00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:45,070
Tim.

161
00:09:48,550 --> 00:09:51,270
Millions of dollars worth of talent,
they never order a damn thing.

162
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:56,490
Maynard, who wants it?

163
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,600
I hate it, fine arts. I'll take it.

164
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,320
American history.

165
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,060
I hate American history. Allow me.

166
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:05,919
World lit.

167
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,920
I hated world lit.

168
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,940
Well, since I don't see anything on
cutting class or panty raids, I'll take

169
00:10:10,940 --> 00:10:11,940
world lit.

170
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,100
You're going to have to make a choice,
Frank. Earth science or religion?

171
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:17,140
I'll take earth science.

172
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,700
I had enough religion in Bishop Fallon's
school for boys.

173
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,540
Fine, give me religion. My people always
carry the burden. Thanks a lot.

174
00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:39,560
Oh, I was just reading that most of the
support for the War of 1812 came from

175
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:40,900
the South and the mid -Atlantic states.

176
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,120
Oh,

177
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:44,140
really?

178
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,240
As historian Norman K. Richard suggests,
there is little validity to the theory.

179
00:10:55,340 --> 00:10:57,800
It doesn't do us any good to divide up
into different work groups if you're

180
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,240
going to read that entire book out loud.

181
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,540
Well, I'm sorry.

182
00:11:01,130 --> 00:11:03,690
I just thought that someone who had
spent the last few minutes writing crib

183
00:11:03,690 --> 00:11:06,410
notes on his hand could benefit from
hearing an enlightened historical

184
00:11:06,410 --> 00:11:09,930
perspective. I always write on my hand,
Jim. I've done it since the third grade.

185
00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:12,190
And guess what? I'm famous and I drive a
Corvette.

186
00:11:13,650 --> 00:11:16,850
People who write on their hands go on to
big things. Yeah, Frank, you and Senor

187
00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:17,850
Wences.

188
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:20,770
Come on, concentrate.

189
00:11:21,310 --> 00:11:24,710
When we're on that stage tomorrow and
that Benoit guy calls on us, I don't

190
00:11:24,710 --> 00:11:26,590
to see any blank stares on our faces.

191
00:11:27,890 --> 00:11:29,550
Like that one. What's wrong with you?

192
00:11:30,350 --> 00:11:31,350
It's starting.

193
00:11:31,750 --> 00:11:33,350
That feeling in my stomach.

194
00:11:33,810 --> 00:11:34,830
The clammy hands.

195
00:11:35,490 --> 00:11:37,130
I always used to get it right before
exams.

196
00:11:37,810 --> 00:11:38,810
Some people crammed.

197
00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:40,350
I purged.

198
00:11:41,610 --> 00:11:43,290
We've got a vomiter on our team.

199
00:11:45,930 --> 00:11:46,930
Yes, pizza.

200
00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:48,090
Oh, God.

201
00:11:48,830 --> 00:11:51,390
Oh, look at this. One more minute and it
would have been a freebie. Have you

202
00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:52,670
ever noticed how that always happens?

203
00:11:55,010 --> 00:11:56,070
Pizza for Mr. Montana.

204
00:11:57,670 --> 00:11:58,670
That's, uh...

205
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:02,060
It's okay, Eldon. Frank got it.

206
00:12:02,300 --> 00:12:03,920
Oh, okay.

207
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,860
Wait! Eldon, you're just the person I
need.

208
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,740
I have a question for you.

209
00:12:10,180 --> 00:12:15,180
Now, this abstract painting is called
Nude Descending a Staircase.

210
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:17,160
Where is the nude?

211
00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:19,060
Where is the staircase?

212
00:12:19,660 --> 00:12:22,380
Why don't they just call it Fish Eating
a Cheeseburger?

213
00:12:24,060 --> 00:12:25,940
I mean, what is the point of it?

214
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,260
You want to know about art.

215
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,740
tell you anything about art.

216
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,780
Oh, I could have once, but it's gone
now.

217
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,820
Where did it go?

218
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,520
I don't know.

219
00:12:41,420 --> 00:12:48,040
Maybe it's hiding among all those
numbers, Dow Jones averages, prime

220
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:51,860
I need a little help with the tip. I
want to start on cash. Money, money,

221
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,980
That's what everybody thinks they want.

222
00:12:55,260 --> 00:12:58,740
I got money. You can have money. You
need money? I'll give you money.

223
00:12:59,470 --> 00:13:00,790
I'll give you all the money.

224
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:02,430
What's your name, kid?

225
00:13:02,690 --> 00:13:06,710
Larry. Larry Barnes. Larry Barnes. That
is a beautiful name.

226
00:13:07,690 --> 00:13:11,650
Promise me. Promise me one thing. You
won't let this ruin your life.

227
00:13:12,950 --> 00:13:13,950
Yeah, okay.

228
00:13:20,250 --> 00:13:22,090
$676 ,832.

229
00:13:22,770 --> 00:13:24,350
That's about all I've got.

230
00:13:24,830 --> 00:13:26,390
And it's yours now, Larry.

231
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,120
Boy, this sure beats the $500 ,000 tip I
got at the last house.

232
00:13:33,020 --> 00:13:36,320
Look, buddy, just because I'm wearing a
funny hat doesn't mean that I have to

233
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,360
stand here while you play Let's Torture
the Pizza Boy.

234
00:13:38,620 --> 00:13:41,080
I don't really have much, but I got my
dignity.

235
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,160
I am the ancient mariner, and this is my
albatross.

236
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,240
Oh, man, I ordered X. Does this look
like extra cheese?

237
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:00,040
I can't study like this.

238
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,160
Well, we have to study, Frank, and we
have to win. Because if we don't, by

239
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,120
time tomorrow, every journalist we know
will be asking, how many FYI -ers does

240
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:09,520
it take to screw in a light bulb?

241
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,120
I want somebody to take this book, open
it to any page, and ask me a question.

242
00:14:17,420 --> 00:14:21,360
What is the prominent theme explored in
Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra?

243
00:14:25,070 --> 00:14:27,830
Is it better to write the answers on the
palm or the back of your hand?

244
00:14:30,110 --> 00:14:32,690
The search for the funniest mom in
America continues.

245
00:14:32,930 --> 00:14:34,130
Meet the finalists.

246
00:14:34,350 --> 00:14:38,150
My name is Christine Hurley. I am from
Plymouth, Massachusetts, and I have five

247
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:39,150
beautiful kids.

248
00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:41,730
Brendan. is not very good to his older
sister.

249
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:44,490
She always pokes her head in so nicely
and says, Good morning, sunshine.

250
00:14:44,950 --> 00:14:48,510
And he always replies with, You don't
look at me and you keep walking.

251
00:14:48,770 --> 00:14:52,250
We don't know what happened with him. I
think it might have been because I

252
00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:55,970
microwaved his bottles instead of
boiling them. Is Christine Hurley the

253
00:14:55,970 --> 00:14:59,890
mom in America? Find out Tuesday, May
3rd at 10, only on Nick at Night.

254
00:15:00,470 --> 00:15:04,310
To fight bad breath, you have to clean
way on the back of your tongue.

255
00:15:04,850 --> 00:15:10,180
So, either get a roll -out tongue, For
new Reach Fresh and Clean, Reach

256
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:14,060
reinvented the toothbrush with the first
two -sided toothbrush and tongue

257
00:15:14,060 --> 00:15:18,020
cleaner. It removes hard -to -reach
bacteria on the back of your... Here's

258
00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:19,020
question in geography.

259
00:15:19,340 --> 00:15:22,040
What nation calls Kigali its capital?

260
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,400
That would be the Republic of Rwanda in
Africa, population 6 million, currency

261
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,520
the Rwanda, frank with coffee as its
cheap export.

262
00:15:29,820 --> 00:15:32,980
You buzz in, I call on you. That's how
it works.

263
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,680
I was right, wasn't I? Wasn't I?

264
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,880
Yes.

265
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,380
Staying with FYI zoology, the scientific
classification P.

266
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,120
erythrorhynchus refers to what member of
the animal kingdom?

267
00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:54,400
That would be the pelican. That is
correct.

268
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,960
And I'd like to say hi to my friends and
family down in Louisiana, also known as

269
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:01,160
the pelican state.

270
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,360
Yes!

271
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:05,600
Again to FYI.

272
00:16:06,670 --> 00:16:09,710
The Nobel Prize is the category. And
here is your question.

273
00:16:09,930 --> 00:16:14,150
Jim Dial.

274
00:16:14,430 --> 00:16:15,430
Linus Pauling.

275
00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:18,930
Linus Pauling is absolutely correct.

276
00:16:23,410 --> 00:16:28,630
The category is Religions of the World.

277
00:16:32,620 --> 00:16:36,320
The Jewish Feast of Weeks takes place
seven weeks after the second day of

278
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,720
Passover. By what name is this Jewish
festival commonly known?

279
00:16:42,380 --> 00:16:43,600
Mr. Silverberg?

280
00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:45,820
I can't think.

281
00:16:46,300 --> 00:16:47,300
My mind is blank.

282
00:16:47,980 --> 00:16:49,560
I'll throw the question over to Yale.

283
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,920
Alexis Dewar. I'm a Presbyterian, but
I'll take a wild guess.

284
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Is it Shavuos?

285
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,640
Shavuos is correct.

286
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:03,030
have control.

287
00:17:03,710 --> 00:17:05,490
The category is mathematics.

288
00:17:06,430 --> 00:17:11,849
In the algebraic equation 3x plus 2y
equals 12, where x is equal to 2 and 2

289
00:17:11,849 --> 00:17:13,630
thirds, what is the value of y?

290
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:15,230
Donald Klein.

291
00:17:15,470 --> 00:17:16,490
2. That is correct.

292
00:17:16,750 --> 00:17:17,890
What is he, the Rain Man?

293
00:17:20,829 --> 00:17:24,750
Now, we come to our final question,
worth 50 points.

294
00:17:25,170 --> 00:17:29,190
Each team will have 10 seconds to confer
on their answer, and that answer will

295
00:17:29,190 --> 00:17:31,230
decide the outcome of the game.

296
00:17:32,459 --> 00:17:37,840
Yale, in the category of foreign
governments, the country of China

297
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,840
many provinces?

298
00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:50,660
Okay, that's ten seconds. You said ten
seconds and

299
00:17:50,660 --> 00:17:52,080
time is up. Come on, let's go, let's go.

300
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:54,000
Your answer, please, Yale.

301
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Twenty -one.

302
00:17:59,420 --> 00:18:01,160
No, it's twenty -two.

303
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:05,440
I'm sorry. Very, very, very sorry.

304
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,260
Oh, too bad, too bad, too bad. Okay,
what's our question? Come on, let's have

305
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:11,260
it. Let's go.

306
00:18:12,380 --> 00:18:15,120
FYI, a correct answer will give you the
game.

307
00:18:16,060 --> 00:18:17,060
Good luck.

308
00:18:17,260 --> 00:18:18,460
And here is your question.

309
00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:20,340
The category is architecture.

310
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,180
Name the architect who designed the Pan
Am building in New York City.

311
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,780
You have ten seconds to confer.

312
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,920
I think I know this one. Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe.

313
00:18:29,140 --> 00:18:31,020
Actually, Murphy, I think it was Walter
Gropius.

314
00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:35,230
Gropius designed the Seagram's building.
No, Gropius designed the Pan Am. Okay,

315
00:18:35,270 --> 00:18:37,430
let's take a vote. Who agrees with me? I
don't. I'm right.

316
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,450
You always side with Jim. I'm not going
to forget this, you know.

317
00:18:41,970 --> 00:18:43,110
FYI, your answer, please.

318
00:18:43,350 --> 00:18:45,930
We took a vote, but I'm going with my
original answer.

319
00:18:46,150 --> 00:18:51,250
The Pan Am building was designed by
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Oh, no, I'm

320
00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:54,370
No, Walter Gropius designed the Pan Am
building.

321
00:18:54,870 --> 00:18:56,690
And the Yale team wins.

322
00:18:58,730 --> 00:19:01,910
We have some lovely parking gifts for
our FYI team.

323
00:19:03,010 --> 00:19:05,350
Personalized shoeshine kits from
Scuffaway.

324
00:19:06,510 --> 00:19:08,510
The shoe polish professionals.

325
00:19:08,930 --> 00:19:11,790
Rice -a -roni, the San Francisco Chief.

326
00:19:12,190 --> 00:19:15,670
And dinner for five at Black Angus.

327
00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:23,350
Join us next week when Dan Rather and
the CBS Evening News take on the women

328
00:19:23,350 --> 00:19:24,350
Smith College.

329
00:19:24,930 --> 00:19:26,090
Until then...

330
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:28,220
I am Dr. Wade Budweiser.

331
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,600
Good night.

332
00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:40,160
We, uh... We always make a tape of the
show for our guests to take home.

333
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:42,100
Please, don't bother.

334
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,579
Oh, no.

335
00:19:43,580 --> 00:19:46,060
I insist. I want you to have it.

336
00:19:52,380 --> 00:19:54,060
Never have I been so humiliated.

337
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:57,900
That includes the time I interviewed the
Queen of England with my fly open.

338
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,460
Let's go, everybody.

339
00:20:00,940 --> 00:20:03,580
Everybody except Murphy Vanderstupid.

340
00:20:07,140 --> 00:20:08,160
Am I in the car yet?

341
00:20:19,100 --> 00:20:20,320
Excuse me, Miss Brown.

342
00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:28,930
Ben from Yale, also known as the
University of Lucky Guessers.

343
00:20:31,310 --> 00:20:32,490
No, that's not true.

344
00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:35,030
You guys were hot tonight.
Congratulations.

345
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:36,870
Thank you.

346
00:20:36,890 --> 00:20:40,250
And I thought your team did very well,
too, especially considering you haven't

347
00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:41,570
been in school in 30 or 40 years.

348
00:20:43,970 --> 00:20:46,090
Ben, do you want to live to see
graduation?

349
00:20:47,990 --> 00:20:50,550
I mean... Oh, boy.

350
00:20:51,870 --> 00:20:56,000
Now that I've made a... total fool of
myself. I wanted to ask you something.

351
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:57,920
Great. Another question.

352
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,200
Oh, what the hell? What do I have to
lose?

353
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,820
Well, I'm an editor at the Yale Daily
News.

354
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,500
And, well, I really admire what you do.

355
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,260
Well, my question is, when someone keeps
turning down your request for an

356
00:21:11,260 --> 00:21:14,140
interview, how can you get them to
change their mind?

357
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,440
That's a tough one to answer, Ben.

358
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,100
I will tell you this.

359
00:21:21,260 --> 00:21:23,540
Solzhenitsyn turned me down half a dozen
times.

360
00:21:23,940 --> 00:21:29,840
It wasn't until I flew to Russia, talked
to all his old friends, his family, his

361
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,220
teachers, that he finally said yes.

362
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,360
He was so impressed that I'd taken the
time to do that much homework, he

363
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:37,360
to trust me.

364
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:38,500
That's the key, Ben.

365
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,120
Extra effort from the reporter can
really turn a person around.

366
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,440
Wow.

367
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,460
That's great. No one ever teaches you
that. That's right.

368
00:21:47,900 --> 00:21:50,360
20 years' experience not found in any
book.

369
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,480
Thank you.

370
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:53,740
Thank you very much.

371
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,140
Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you.
Oh, it's no bother.

372
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,920
Actually, I'm feeling a lot better now.

373
00:22:00,220 --> 00:22:01,280
Come on, I'll walk you out.

374
00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:06,680
You know, for what it's worth, I thought
it was me, Fandero, too.

375
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,820
I always get those guys confused. It's
those German names.

376
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:13,750
You know what else gets me? Was it
Kierkegaard or Schopenhauer who was the

377
00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:16,470
father of existentialism? I can never
keep that straight.

378
00:22:16,970 --> 00:22:18,750
Actually, that would have been... Oh,
shut up, you little snot.
