00:47Thank you, everybody.
00:48What a nice group we have here.
00:49Glad you could be with us on Wheel of Fortune.
00:51And if we could have a little enthusiasm, please, for our hostess.
00:53I know she'd appreciate it.
00:54Here's Vanna White.
00:56We are now going to meet the three people who will be helping us out here playing our game.
01:07John Gordon is here from Boston.
01:09John, do you notice any similarity between us here?
01:11Yeah, we both have good taste.
01:13Fine man.
01:15Fine.
01:16You'll go far in this game, John.
01:17What do you do back in Boston?
01:18Well, I work in an accounts payable department as an assistant supervisor.
01:20And say something about doing some part-time studying.
01:23Yeah, I'm studying part-time for my bachelor's degree in accounting.
01:26Good luck with that and on our show as well.
01:29Here is Larry Johnson from Arizona.
01:30Hi, Pat.
01:31Glendale, Arizona.
01:32That's near...
01:33Just right outside of Phoenix.
01:34Yeah.
01:35What do you do in Glendale?
01:36I'm the manager of a block fence company.
01:37We do any kind of construction walls you need.
01:39Good.
01:40I don't happen to need any right now, but if I do...
01:41Well, you do.
01:42Give me a haul.
01:43Are you in the book?
01:44Yeah, in the book, John.
01:45Okay.
01:46Enjoys off-road racing and sports, it says.
01:47Good luck to you, Larry.
01:49And here is Peggy Wexler from up Pullman, Washington Way.
01:51All right.
01:52Are you a farm girl, Peggy?
01:53You bet.
01:54Did you grow up on a farm?
01:55No.
01:56But you lived...
01:57I married a farmer.
01:58Did you?
01:59Yeah.
02:00A family.
02:01You bet.
02:02Six...
02:03They're all here, too.
02:04Yeah.
02:05Six kids, five girls, and a boy.
02:06Is that all the noise that six kids can make?
02:07And my hubby, and brother, and his wife, and nephew, and I brought them all.
02:10They're all here?
02:11Let's hear everybody who's with Peggy.
02:14Boy.
02:15Five grandkids in there, too, I have to say.
02:17Oh, goodness.
02:18Okay.
02:19If they go home, it's gonna get quiet in the studio.
02:20Let's get going here.
02:21$1,000, top dollar value for this round.
02:23Try not to get bankrupt.
02:24If you do, you lose your cash, but not your merchandise, because once you buy a farm, it's yours to keep.
02:28Here is our first puzzle.
02:29It is a quotation, and I think there's some sort of punctuation in it.
02:33And it happens to be, guess what?
02:35Yes, an apostrophe.
02:36Just before the show, we drew numbers to see who would start our game.
02:39I thank you.
02:40The apostrophe thanks you.
02:41And John, go ahead.
02:42All right.
02:43Come on, 1,000.
02:44Come on, 1,000.

02:491,000.
02:50Could I have an S, please?
02:51Yeah.
02:52Well, in fact, you can have 1, 2, 3.
02:53Is that it?
02:54Three S's.
02:55I'll spin.
02:56Let's go.
02:571,000.
02:58500, I think.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Could I have a T, please?
03:01Give the man three T's.
03:02Two spins of the wheel, and you have nearly $2,000.

03:072,000.
03:08500, I think.
03:09Yep.

03:11Give the man three T's.
03:12And two spins of the wheel, and you have nearly $2,000.

03:19All right.
03:20Let's go, 1,000.

03:52Could I have an N, please?
03:54Why, yes.
03:55One N.
03:55$27.50.
03:57Are you going to get much on here, John?
04:02Yeah, I'm going to spin one more time.
04:03Okay.
04:04Now, $250.
04:11Could I have an L, please?
04:13Sure, there are two L's.
04:14Now, you have $3,250.
04:18Go on, if you'd like.

11:17Otherwise, you can solve it and get the $250.
11:18Can't live without it.
11:20Yeah, that's it.
11:21Well...
11:22Well, that's unfortunate.
11:29It happens sometimes.
11:30It's a slip of the tongue, but we have to go with the first full phrase out of your mouth.
11:33And you was the word we went with.
11:35$250 now.
11:36For $185 for my mother, the perfume and scented accessories.

16:13All right.
16:15We have time for a fourth round, and we'll get to it.
16:17After you get to these words, we'll be right back.
16:21There you go.
16:22Not much time left, so I'll give the wheel a final spin.
16:25Then I'll ask you to give me a letter.
16:26It's in the puzzle.
16:26You'll have five seconds to solve it.
16:27Vowels worth nothing, and consonants are worth $800.
16:33So we have the game at stake here.
16:35Thing is our category, and John, give us a letter.
16:38T.
16:38One T, every letter worth $800, and your time will start now.
16:42Thing.
16:48Larry?
16:49S.
16:50Nope.
16:50Peggy.
16:51R.
16:51There's no R.
16:52John?
16:53L.
16:54No L.
16:55Larry?
16:55N.
16:56There is an N.
16:57As soon as Vanna's out of there, you'll have five seconds.
17:06Peggy.
17:07D.
17:09Two Ds, $1,600.
17:12Thing.
17:19John?
17:20An M.
17:22No, Larry.
17:23An H.
17:24There's no H.
17:25Peggy?
17:25C.
17:28Nope.
17:29John?
17:30P.
17:31No, Larry.
17:33V.
17:34There is one V.
17:36Five seconds.
17:37Divinity Fudge.
17:38You did it.
17:38Yeah.
17:39Wow.
17:41I guess you like it or something.
17:42Oh, yeah.
17:43That's so cool.
17:44No, no, no.
17:45No, no, no.
17:46No, no, no.
17:47Divinity Fudge.
17:48$1,600.
17:50What would you like for our playthings here?
17:51For 955, I'll take the teddy bear pen.
17:53Okay.
17:54That belongs to you, and you still have $645.
17:57Yeah.
17:57For 459, I'll take the retinaway chair.
17:59Okay.
18:00Is that going to do it for you?
18:01186.
18:02Oh, no, you can still get the dartboard.
18:03I'll take the dartboard for 123.
18:04Okay.
18:05And that would leave $63 on a gift certificate.
18:07And Jack Clark has some good news for you now.
18:09I sure do, Larry.
18:10You can enjoy the game of darts with this old English dartboard set.
18:13Includes cabinet dartboard chalkboards for scorekeeping, $123.
18:17And then a recliner rocker chair from Lazy Boy Chair Company.
18:21Enjoy genuine Lazy Boy quality and comfort as you rock or recline.
18:25Relax.
18:25It's from Lazy Boy.
18:27$459.
18:28And finally, a diamond belly button adds interest to this cute brushed 18-karat gold teddy bear pin,
18:34which may be yours with your gift certificate from Tiffany & Company.
18:38$955.
18:39Hey, we have three winners.
18:41Congratulations, everybody.
18:42Nice going.
18:42Here's the big winner, though.
18:43John with $3,700.
18:45Bonus round coming up.
18:47Put her there, Jason.
18:54All right.
18:54You've had a chance to look over the bonus prizes.
18:56We have some great ones on the show.
18:57Which one are you going to play for?
18:58The car.
18:59Ah, the one docked over here.
19:00Jack.
19:01Interesting, yes.
19:02Well, you'll be trying for the Toronado Brougham.
19:05One-of-a-kind luxury inside and distinctive style outside.
19:10Solid performance and a smooth ride.
19:12Built in the Oldsmobile tradition of quality.
19:14Toronado Brougham.
19:16Retail value, $21,201.
19:19Good luck.
19:20Okay, it is beautiful, but the more you can think about the puzzle and forget the car,
19:28the better off you will be here.
19:29Thing is the category, and we ask you now to give us five consonants and one vowel.
19:33I'd like an L, N, 2, R, 3, S, 4, T, 5, and a vowel.
19:43And an E.
19:43Okay.
19:45Vena.
19:46Let's see, not a lot of letters up there.
19:48I don't know how many we will find, but so far a pretty good portion of them.
19:51Audience, very quiet, please.
19:52Playing for this gorgeous car and over $24,000 in prizes.
19:57Okay, it's a thing.
19:58You have 15 seconds, John.
20:00Good luck.
20:00Good luck.
20:03Street car, street carrier, street driver.
20:17No, boy, you were on the trail when you got to driver, but screwdriver is what we were looking for there.
20:23Yeah, doggone it, I'm sorry.
20:25But $3,700 is a pretty nice haul anyway, and besides, you probably have a small parking space at home.
20:32That's true.
20:32That would have been okay.
20:32I don't know, that's one of those, I think that's one of those that either pops into your mind right away or it doesn't.
20:38Unfortunately, in this case, it didn't.
20:39But we had three good players here, and they all won something.
20:42We like that, don't we?
20:44Congratulations, John.
20:45We will see you next time on Wheel of Force.
20:47Bye-bye.
20:49The prices of the prizes were furnished to the contestants prior to the show and have been rounded off to the nearest dollar.
20:54Gift certificates do not include sales tax.
20:56Wheel of Fortune is produced by Merv Griffin Enterprises, distributed by Columbia TriStar Television.
21:23Cheers.
21:24Cheers.
21:24Cheers.
21:32Cheers.
21:32Cheers.
21:33Cheers.
21:34Cheers.
21:34Send it to you.
