00:06I'll play all day!
00:07Yes!
00:21Three of these boxes will break the $10,000 bank.
00:25Is this one of them?
00:26Or is it this one?
00:27Or this one?
00:28We'll find out in a moment in this game of hide-and-seek
00:31as these nine celebrities...
00:34Jimmy Walker!
00:37Elaine Boosler!

00:56All join us in playing...
00:58break the bank!
01:03And now, meet our host, Tom Kennedy!
01:12Hello, gang!
01:14What a great thing we've had with these nine beautiful people up here.
01:17And with you folks, it takes a nice, complete circle.
01:20But, of course, to play our game today, we need two players.
01:23And Johnny Jacobs, would you introduce them, please?
01:25Yes, we have the two, Tom, our current champion, whose winnings total over $3,800.
01:31A teacher of natural childbirth, Margaret Martin!
01:37And her challenger, an electrical technician who also worked as a football referee, Jim Agnoli!
01:43All right, Margaret Martin, how'll be you today?
01:48Very cool.
01:49That's good.
01:49And welcome aboard, Jim Agnoli.
01:51Thank you very much.
01:52Happy to have you, sir.
01:53Here's a very brief explanation of break the bank.
01:55As a matter of fact, here's what a typical board might look like.
01:58All the same denominations of money are clustered together.
02:00The three $100 boxes touch each other along one of the sides,
02:04as do the three $200 boxes and the three $300 boxes,
02:09each touching the other along one of the sides.
02:11Now, the five money bags, they're scattered all over.
02:14The wild boxes anywhere, that can be used for any value.
02:16You get three of the same and you win.
02:18Get three money bags and you break the bank,
02:20which we have today at $10,000.
02:25We'll play for that.
02:25Happy to have you.
02:36All right, we've returned our boxes to their original positions
02:42and changed them around.
02:43And I want you and Jim, Jim and Margaret,
02:46to remember that for every question asked,
02:48one of our celebrities will give you a right answer,
02:50the other celebrity a wrong answer,
02:52or in other words, a mislead.
02:53Now, the first player to get three of the same money boxes wins,
02:56and Jim Agnulli, are you all set to start our game?
02:58Already, Tom.
02:58All right, then, pick a box.
02:59Here we go.
03:00I'll try number 12.
03:02Could we see number 12 for Mr. Agnulli?
03:04Box number 12 is a $100 box right off the bat.
03:08That box is connected to Liz Close and Meredith McRae.
03:11And, Liz, here is your question.
03:13If you are normal, where is your skin the thickest?
03:17Well, you can't see it from here, Tom,
03:20but it's the skin of your back.
03:23I see.
03:24Meredith McRae.
03:25Well, my husband's always said I'm very hard-headed.
03:28It's your skull.
03:29I see.
03:30All right, Jim.
03:32Your back.
03:33That's right.
03:34The skin of your back.
03:35Right.
03:36Do you have a $100 box?
03:37Do you have another box?
03:38Let me look for another $100 outside number 11.
03:41Number 11.
03:42Did he find another $100?
03:43Could we see box number 11?
03:45You did.
03:45Another $100 box.
03:47That is connected to Jimmy Walker and to Meredith McRae.
03:51Jimmy, on the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C.,
03:53they used something very unusual for a lightning rod.
03:56What is it?
03:58That was the late Leroy Watson.
04:01Oh.
04:05No, no.
04:06In all realities of madness,
04:09it was really a statue.
04:12Meredith?
04:12No, I think it's a gigantic television antenna.
04:16All right.
04:17Is it a statue or a gigantic television antenna?
04:20A statue.
04:21That's correct.
04:21A statue.
04:22You have two $100 boxes so far, Jim.
04:27All right.
04:27I have, what, six, seven choices.
04:30I'll try number...
04:31You have five choices, really.
04:33Number seven.
04:34All right.
04:35It's a one out of five chance
04:36because you know they touch on at least one side.
04:38And if you get this, a $100 box,
04:41you can win the game in $300.
04:43Could we see box number seven?
04:45It's a wild card,
04:46which will also be a trick for you.
04:49But of course you have to earn that wild card.
04:53And that, of course,
04:54is connected to Liz Torres and to Craig Stevens.
04:56Now, Liz, here is your question.
04:59Which country has the largest number of physicians?
05:03The United States.
05:06Craig Stevens.
05:07I think it's Russia.
05:10For the game, for $300,
05:12a special surprise prize,
05:14the country with the largest number of physicians,
05:16United States or Russia, Jim?
05:19I'll go with Craig and say Russia.
05:21You have won the game
05:22at $300 at A&B Russell.
05:24Well done, Mr. Ed Miller.
05:36$300 you win,
05:37and good news for you, Margaret Martin.
05:39Since you didn't have a chance
05:40to go to the board in that game,
05:41you're still eligible to play another game.
05:43And now, you did it with the wild card
05:45and with two $100 boxes.
05:47$300 is yours,
05:48plus what, Johnny Jacobs?
05:50Well, Tom, Jim can get his own convoy together
05:52with this Citizen Band radio.

09:34I would say it's,
09:35of course, everybody knows this is very common.
09:37It's the frequency of her wingbeat.
09:39I see.
09:41Jim?
09:42I'll have to go with Elaine
09:43and say the frequency of her wingbeat.
09:45You're right.

14:42And that truth
14:43is that a woman
14:44will make you what?
14:46Throw your back out.
14:48Throw your back out.
14:50A woman?
14:51No, I know what that is.
14:52As a famous French writer
14:54said that.
14:54And I know what he said
14:55is a woman
14:56and it's truth, boy,
14:58will make you suffer.
15:00Meredith McGrath.
15:01Well, when my husband's mad at me,
15:03I think he would say
15:04regret marriage.
15:05All right.
15:07Jim?
15:08Yeah, I think it's
15:09will make you suffer.
15:10That's right.

16:12and a special surprise prize.
16:14It's connected to Lonnie Shore
16:16and to Craig Stevens.
16:18And Lonnie,
16:19this is your question, sir.
16:21Why is the bald eagle,
16:23which is our national bird,
16:24so named?
16:26Well,
16:27because the derivation
16:31of bald means white
16:34and because the bald eagle
16:36has white feathers.
16:38All right.
16:39That's why it's called baldy.
16:41Thank you, Craig.
16:42No,
16:42I think any child knows this
16:44because he is actually bald.
16:46All right.
16:47Now,
16:47for $900
16:48in the game
16:49and a special surprise prize,
16:51you've heard the two answers
16:52and what is your answer?
16:54I will say
16:54the same as Lonnie,
16:55that the feathers are white.
16:57You are absolutely right.
16:58You won the game.
16:59$900.
16:59That's great.
17:01That's terrific.
17:09Bald also means white,
17:10just as Lonnie said,
17:11and that's why,
17:12and it's white feathered,
17:13so that's where we get
17:14the bald eagle
17:15and you've got $900.
17:17Super.
17:17You bet it's super.
17:18That is terrific.
