00:00I'm an American journalist.
00:02From the truth of war, there is no escape.
00:05If they catch you, they're going to shoot you.
00:07Caught between a love that kills and a battle for freedom.
00:10Welcome to Nicaragua.
00:11Jan Michael Vincent must take The Last Plane Out.
00:15Thursday at 9 on the USA Movie.
00:21This is USA, America's all entertainment network.
00:24During the next 30 minutes,
00:31intuition could win our players $30,000 in cash.
00:35Because...
00:38It's time to challenge everybody's knowledge.
00:43It's time to play the percentages.
00:47And here's our host, Jeff O'Brien.
00:54Thanks a lot.
01:01That's very kind of you.
01:02Welcome.
01:03And Jay Stewart sure is right,
01:04because during this program,
01:06someone here can win at least $30,000.
01:09Boy, that boggles my mind.
01:10And all of you out there
01:11are going to be challenged by what's happening right here.
01:14So let's meet the two married couples
01:15who are going to be opposing each other.
01:16Jay Stewart, do the honors, please.
01:17Our champion couple has winnings to date in cash $5,600.
01:22Her name is Markita, and she's a data processor.
01:26His name is Daniel,
01:28and his ambition is to be the President of the United States.
01:31And the married name they share is Hawkins.
01:37And their opponents are...
01:39First, her name is Marsha,
01:41and she's studying to become a blackjack dealer.
01:43His name is Barry,
01:45and he's also studying to become a blackjack dealer.
01:48And the married name they share is Katz.
01:50Marsha Katz!
01:56Well, Barry and Marsha Katz,
01:58how you doing, Marsha?
01:59I'm just fine, Jeff.
01:59How are you?
02:00Oh, terrific.
02:01You want to be a blackjack dealer, huh?
02:02I'm trying my darndest.
02:03Yeah?
02:04Yep.
02:04I've been a secretary all my life,
02:05and now we're living in Vegas,
02:07and I'm really trying to go at flatjack.
02:09Ah, you had a lot of gambling experience, have you?
02:10None.
02:11I'm not a gambler.
02:12You're not?
02:12No.
02:13But you're married to Barry.
02:14Ha, ha, ha.
02:15Well, listen, just a little humor
02:17to make you feel at ease.
02:18She took a gamble, lost.
02:20What did you do before you decided
02:22to become a blackjack dealer, Barry?
02:23I was a cab driver in New York, and, uh...
02:26Wait, that's all I want to hear, man.
02:28I have something I have always wanted to say
02:31to a cab driver from New York.
02:33I have something to say a lot of passengers, too.
02:34Are you ready?
02:35Yes.
02:36Same to you, pal.
02:38We wish the Katz's good luck.
02:40Let's go over here and meet the Hawkins.
02:42Markita and Daniel.
02:43Markita, how you doing?
02:44Just fine.
02:45We've chatted with you a lot.
02:46You're our champions.
02:47You guys have $5,600 so far.
02:50Pretty good, huh?
02:51Yes.
02:51Of course, yes.
02:52All right.
02:52Markita, um, let's see.
02:54You, she said she didn't gamble.
02:56Well, you go to the racetrack, don't you?
02:57Oh, racetrack, bingo, everything.
03:00Anything.
03:01I'll gamble anything.
03:02I would gamble, you know, for Daniel.
03:04Yeah, I would.
03:05Well...
03:06She would.
03:06All right, that's a different show,
03:08but we'll see how this thing goes.
03:10Daniel, you want to be president of the United States?
03:12Yes.
03:12I have exciting news for you, my friend.
03:14Okay, tell me about it.
03:15President Carter just called and said,
03:16you got it.
03:19Look at all with the game.
03:21These two married couples are going to play against each other,
03:24the wife against the wife,
03:25and the husband against the husband.
03:27Now, we've asked hundreds of people questions,
03:29and it's up to our players to estimate
03:30what percentage of the people got the questions right,
03:33and then the game goes on from there.
03:35First team to reach 300 points gets $300,
03:38and then goes on to play the bonus game worth $2,500.
03:42Okay, let's get on with the game.
03:44We're going to start off with the wives,
03:45and so that means, Markita,
03:47you will be going against Marcia.
03:48You girls set?
03:49Oops, shouldn't say that.
03:50Boy, women's lips are going to jump all over me.
03:52You ladies set?
03:52Yes.
03:53Sorry.
03:53Okay.
03:54Here we go.
03:55Don't want to get in trouble here.
03:57All right.
03:58Of the 300 people we surveyed,
04:00what percentage of the people,
04:02Marcia and Markita,
04:03could tell us the annual salary
04:04of the President of the United States?
04:07Daniel should know this one.
04:09Remember now, once a number's locked in,
04:11a player cannot change the number.
04:13They are locking in their numbers now.
04:15Okay, Markita,
04:16what percentage of the people that we polled
04:17do you think could tell us the salary
04:18of the President of the United States?
04:20I don't know.
04:21I think it's a very low score
04:23because they really think he makes a lot of money,
04:27so they will exaggerate.
04:28So I think it's a very low score.
04:29Do you think it's a very low score?
04:30Well, what percentage did you think?
04:3126.
04:3226% says Markita.
04:33Okay.
04:34What did you say, Marcia?
04:35I also went low,
04:37but a little bit higher than Markita,
04:38and I said 33%.
04:40And you said 33%.
04:41Right.
04:42Okay.
04:42Now, I'll remind you about this.
04:43The player closer to the true percentage
04:45wins those points.
04:47And now,
04:47we're changing a rule
04:48effective at this program.
04:50If you hit it right on the nose,
04:51you win the game right then and there,
04:53plus,
04:54you'll also win our growing jackpot,
04:56which increases by $1,000 every game
04:59until it's broken,
04:59and as you now know,
05:01it's now up to $30,000.
05:07With both teams,
05:09good luck.
05:09A lot of money at stake here.
05:11Markita,
05:11you said 26%.
05:13Marcia,
05:14you said 33%.
05:15What percentage could tell us
05:17how much money
05:18the President of the United States
05:19makes every year?
05:20Woo!
05:20You're the closer.
05:22Right.
05:22You are the closer
05:30and you get yourself
05:3130 points.
05:33Now,
05:33you've earned the 30 points.
05:34If 30% of the people
05:36got it right,
05:36Marcia,
05:37that means that 70%
05:39must have gotten it wrong.
05:41You can get those 70 points
05:43by telling me yourself
05:44how much money
05:45does the President
05:46of the United States make,
05:47or,
05:48if you want,
05:48you can challenge Markita
05:50over there
05:50if you think
05:50she doesn't know the answer.
05:52What do you think
05:52you want to do?
05:53Do you want to answer it yourself
05:54or do you want to
05:54challenge Markita?
05:57I'm going to challenge Markita.
05:59You're going to challenge Markita,
06:01whose husband wants to be
06:02the President of the United States.
06:04I understand that,
06:05but I'm going to
06:05challenge Markita.
06:06Hang on.
06:06Markita,
06:07you've been challenged.
06:09Miss the question
06:10and Marcia and Barry
06:11get the points,
06:12but if you answer it,
06:13you get the 70 points.
06:14So for 70 points,
06:15how much money
06:15does the President
06:16of the United States
06:17take home every year?
06:18Oh, boy.
06:18There's a problem.
06:19When Daniel was going
06:19to be President,
06:20he was going to
06:20up it up,
06:21you know?
06:22I don't know.
06:23Yeah,
06:23so I say 65,000.
06:2565,000 is wrong.
06:2770 points
06:28over here
06:29to the catches.
06:34Catches,
06:35you now have
06:36100 points.
06:38Marcia,
06:38you can get
06:39another 70 points
06:41by answering
06:41the question yourself.
06:42How much money
06:43does the President
06:44of the United States
06:45make every year?
06:46Is it $100,000 a year?
06:48You asking me
06:49you're telling me?
06:49I'm telling you.
06:50No, it is not.
06:52Do you know,
06:52do you know, Daniel?
06:53I know.
06:53You want to be the President,
06:54you don't know?
06:55No, not a matter of
06:56the power.
06:57200,000 is what it is.
06:59Yeah, 200,000.
07:00So you don't get
07:00any points there,
07:01but you have
07:02a grand total
07:02of 100,
07:03and we'll check
07:03the score.
07:04Hawkins,
07:04nothing yet.
07:05Cats is with 100,
07:06and we move on.
07:07It's Barry against Daniel.
07:09You didn't care
07:09how much money
07:10you made,
07:10did you, Daniel?
07:10I want the power.
07:11You didn't run
07:12the car, sure.
07:14Okay.
07:15What percentage
07:16of the people
07:16we polled
07:17could tell us
07:18who was Miss Hungry
07:20of 1936?
07:23Boy, is she going
07:24to hate to have
07:25this on the air.
07:27What percentage
07:30could tell us
07:30who was Miss Hungry
07:31of 1936?
07:32Answers are locked in.
07:34Okay, Daniel,
07:34what did you say?
07:35That's a hard one.
07:38Miss Hungry
07:38of 19?
07:39Okay.
07:40I said 20%.
07:4120% says Daniel.
07:43What did you say, Barry?
07:43I said 9%.
07:44I beg your pardon?
07:45I said 9%.
07:46You said 9%.
07:47You didn't think
07:47hardly anybody
07:48would know that, huh?
07:49All right.
07:49So Daniel says 20%.
07:51Barry says 9%.
07:53What percentage
07:53knew who was
07:54Miss Hungry
07:54of 1936?
07:5650%.
07:56Several people knew it.
07:58Daniel,
07:58you were the closer.
08:02You get 51 points.
08:05It's going to be fun
08:05to see how you play this
08:06because if 51%
08:08knew the answer,
08:0849% did not know
08:10the answer.
08:12You can get those
08:1249 points, Daniel,
08:13by telling me
08:14who was Miss Hungry
08:15of 1936,
08:16or you might want
08:17to challenge Barry
08:18over there.
08:18If you think he knows
08:19or doesn't know,
08:20look at that face
08:20and see what you
08:21come up with.
08:22Well, I know the answer.
08:25You do?
08:25And I'm sure Barry
08:26does not,
08:27so I'm going to
08:27challenge him.
08:28Barry, your challenge
08:30for 49 points,
08:31who was Miss Hungry
08:33of 1936?
08:34I have no idea.
08:36I'll take a guess.
08:38I would say
08:39Sarah Jane Allgood.
08:40I have no idea.
08:41Sarah Jane Allgood.
08:42So close, Barry.
08:44I knew by the hair.
08:45But not right.
08:46I knew by the hair.
08:4649 points over here
08:47to the Hawkins.
08:48I knew by the hair.
08:48Now, Daniel,
08:56we're going to put you
08:56to the test.
08:57We gave you those
08:5849 points.
08:59You have a grand total
08:59of 100 points.
09:01For another 49 points,
09:02who was Miss Hungry
09:03of 1936?
09:05I really don't know,
09:06but I'll say
09:07Deborah Sosinski.
09:09Again, so close.
09:12Well, she was only
09:13four years old
09:14at the time, folks,
09:15but it was
09:15Zsa Zsa Gabor.
09:17Miss Hungry of 1936.
09:21Let's check the score.
09:23We got a tie game.
09:24Hawkins with 100,
09:25Cats with 100,
09:25and we'll be back here
09:26in just a moment.
09:27You're looking at birth control
09:43for roaches,
09:43an advance in biotechnology
09:45that goes beyond
09:47other roach killers.
09:48Only in Black Flag

09:51Look, other products kill,
09:52but survivors breed
09:53thousands more roaches.
09:55Roach Ender brand
09:55kills and sterilizes
09:57young survivors
09:58so they can't reproduce.
10:00It's birth control

12:18Cats, 100 points.
12:19And here we go.
12:20It's the ladies against each other this time.
12:22Markita against Marcia.
12:24You're in England,
12:24and an expert has just looked under your bonnet.
12:29What percentage of the people
12:30could tell us his occupation?
12:33Looks under my bonnet.
12:35He better be an attorney.
12:37What percentage of the people
12:39can tell you the occupation
12:40of the man that looked under your bonnet in England?
12:42Answers are locked in.
12:43Markita, what'd you say?
12:44Yeah, there's a lot of things...
12:47A bonnet.
12:48Well, 28.
12:4928.
12:50Yeah, 28.
12:50I like your reasoning.
12:51Okay.
12:5228, says Markita.
12:54Marcia, what percentage of the people
12:55do you think could tell us
12:56who was the guy who looked under your bonnet?
12:58I said 23.
12:59I went even lower.
13:00Even lower.
13:0123.
13:02Okay.
13:02You say 28, Markita.
13:04Marcia, you say 23.
13:06How many people knew
13:07who looked under your bonnet in England?
13:0973 percent.
13:10Markita, you're closer.
13:11You're closer, so you get to 73 points,
13:17giving you a total now of 173 points.
13:20You didn't think that many people
13:21would know that, did you?
13:22Oh, no.
13:23Well, if 73 percent knew the answer,
13:25that means that 27 percent
13:26did not know the answer.
13:28You can get those 27 points
13:30by telling me who was the person
13:32who would look under your bonnet in England,
13:33or if you want,
13:34you can challenge Marcia over there.
13:36If you don't think she knows,
13:37what do you think?
13:38Hmm, under the bonnet.
13:40Let's see.
13:41Since Marcia stayed a low score,
13:42I'm going to challenge her.
13:43I'm going to challenge Marcia.
13:45Okay.
13:45For 27 points, Marcia,
13:47what is the occupation
13:48of the man in England
13:49who looks under your bonnet?
13:51I have the vaguest idea.
13:53I have no guess.
13:55You have no guess?
13:56No.
13:56Not even a little teeny guess?
13:57A policeman?
13:58A policeman.
13:59You were better with no guess.
14:00No, that's wrong.
14:01Okay.
14:02No points over here.
14:03We heard you.
14:03You get those 27 points
14:05to the Hawkins.
14:06We heard you.
14:06Markita, you have 200 points
14:12for another 27 points.
14:15Tell me,
14:15who looks under your bonnet
14:16in England?
14:17God, I'm going to say a doctor.
14:19A doctor looks under your bonnet.
14:21No, that's not right.
14:22Do you know, Daniel?
14:23The mechanic.
14:24The mechanic, yes.
14:25That's right.
14:26The bonnet is the hood
14:27of the car in England,
14:28and the mechanic is the one
14:30who looks under that.
14:31So, no points on that,
14:32but you're in the lead.
14:33The Hawkins have 200 points.
14:35Cats have 100 points.
14:37Remember, 300 points wins the game.
14:39Daniel, you're up against Barry.
14:41Somebody could win right here.
14:43His father was a general,
14:45and so was he.
14:46They are the only father and son
14:48to hold the Congressional Medal of Honor.
14:50What percentage of the people
14:52could tell us their last name?
14:54The only father and son
14:56to hold the Congressional Medal of Honor.
14:58What percentage could tell us their last name?
15:01Remember, once the percentages are locked in,
15:02they cannot be changed.
15:04Daniel's locked in.
15:06Barry's working on it.
15:08Barry is locked in.
15:09Daniel, what'd you say?
15:12I think it's a very low score.
15:13Most people don't track the generals.
15:15They track the presidents.
15:18I said 20%.
15:1920%, says Daniel.
15:21Barry, what do you say?
15:23I think people might know.
15:24I think they might know that one.
15:25I said 52%.
15:27Barry says 52%.
15:29So Daniel says 20%.
15:30Barry says 52%.
15:32How many people knew
15:33the last name of the two people,
15:35father and son,
15:36that held the Congressional Medal of Honor?
15:37Come here, Dr. Daniel.
15:38You get the points.
15:43And now, Daniel,
15:44an important time for you.
15:46You get the 29 points,
15:47so you have a grand total now
15:48of 229 points.
15:50If 29% knew the answer,
15:52that means that 71%
15:54did not know the answer.
15:5671 points will give you the game.
15:59So for those 71 points,
16:00you can tell me the name
16:01of that father and son,
16:03or you can challenge Barry over here.
16:06If he doesn't know,
16:07you still get the 71 points
16:08and the game.
16:11I think Barry was bluffing
16:12with his high score.
16:14I mean, high guess.
16:15I would say he doesn't know,
16:16and I'll challenge him.
16:17Going to challenge him.
16:18Hang on.
16:19Barry, if you get this answer,
16:21you get 71 points.
16:22If you miss it,
16:23the Hawkins get the 71 points
16:25and win the game
16:26and take it all away from you.
16:27So I'll ask the question again.
16:28His father was a general,
16:30and so was he.
16:31They're the only father and son
16:32to hold the Congressional Medal of Honor.
16:34What's their last name?
16:35For 71 points.
16:37I think it was Eisenhower.
16:41No!
16:42Game goes!
16:42Game goes!
16:57Hawkins, congratulations.
17:00Your total now $5,900.
17:03In a moment,
17:04you'll be playing for $2,500 more.
17:06Hang on just a second.
17:07I want to say goodbye to Barry and Marcia.
17:09That was a good guess.
17:10You know, it's kind of tough.
17:11Did you have another name in mind?
17:12Lee.
17:13No, it was MacArthur.
17:14Oh, MacArthur.
17:15MacArthur, the father and son
17:16had the Congressional Medal of Honor.
17:17Well, Marcia and Barry,
17:18I've got to say goodbye to you.
17:20I wish you good luck
17:20in your new career
17:21as a blackjack dealer.
17:22It's been a pleasure.
17:23Okay, let's say goodbye
17:24to Marcia and Barry Cassie.
17:25We'll go back to Las Vegas.
17:26Bye, Marcia.
17:27Good luck, babe.
17:28Bye-bye.
17:29And Hawkins,
17:30join me down here
17:31at the bonus round.
17:32We'll be back here
17:32in just a moment.
17:33My son recommended
17:38Preparation H for my hemorrhoids.
17:41Why should I listen to a kid?
17:42Because that kid
17:43is also a doctor.
17:45In a national survey,
17:46two out of three doctors
17:47named Preparation H
17:48among the hemorrhoid remedies
17:50they recommended
17:50to their patients
17:51in the past year.
17:52It often relieves pain
17:53and itching for hours,
17:54helps shrink swelling
17:55of inflamed hemorrhoidal tissue,
17:57and soothes painful irritation.
17:58My son is very careful
18:00about what he recommends.
18:02Preparation H.
18:03Recommended by
18:04two out of three doctors.
18:06Doctors know best.

19:46Oh, right.
19:47You guys just did great.
19:48You really know
19:48how to play this game.
19:49You're playing it really bright.
19:50Well, now it's time
19:51for the bonus round,
19:52and this is the way
19:53this is going to work.
19:53I'm going to ask you questions
19:54which are posed
19:55to people everywhere.
19:56For each question,
19:57I'll show you
19:58three possible answers
19:59about which you'll
20:00have to make decisions.
20:01Make the right decision,
20:03and you win points.
20:04Reach 100 points,
20:05and I'll give you
20:06$2,500 a kick.
20:08Oh, that's nice.
20:09I know this.
20:09I'm a very nice person.
20:10You'll see that.
20:11Who wants to go first?
20:12I'll go first.
20:13Markita will go first.
20:14Okay, Markita,
20:15here's your question.
20:17We asked 100 people
20:19the name of the longest
20:20running network television show.
20:22This show's been on the air
20:23about 32 years.
20:25Now, what we want to know is
20:27did the people think
20:28it was The Late Show,
20:30Meet the Press,
20:32or Captain Kangaroo?
20:35Markita,
20:36after you've talked to Daniel,
20:37I want you to listen to this
20:38because it's very important to you.
20:39Two of these television shows
20:41were named
20:42by the people surveyed.
20:43One was not.
20:44It got zero points.
20:46We want you to select
20:47the one that was named,
20:48and I'll give you
20:49whatever percentage
20:50of the people named it.
20:51But, Markita,
20:52if you pick the one
20:53that was not named,
20:54the one that got zero,
20:55then you go bust,
20:56and the bonus game is over.
20:58Oh.
20:58So which of these three
20:59television shows
21:00did the people think
21:01was the longest running show,
21:03the one that's been on the air
21:04about 32 years?
21:05The Late Show,
21:06Meet the Press,
21:06or Captain Kangaroo?
21:07What do you say?
21:08Okay, Captain Kangaroo.
21:09You think it was
21:10Captain Kangaroo?
21:11Oh, yeah.
21:11All right,
21:12how many people thought
21:13Captain Kangaroo
21:14was on for 32 years?
21:1518%!
21:16Oh, my God.
21:17Come on, come on.
21:18Come on.
21:18Come on.
21:18Come on.
21:19Come on.
21:20Okay.
21:22You have 18 points, Markita.
21:24There are two answers left,
21:26The Late Show
21:27and Meet the Press.
21:28Now, I can tell you
21:29of those two television shows,
21:31one of them
21:31got 16 percentage points
21:33in response.
21:34The other one,
21:35nobody picked.
21:35It got zero.
21:36Okay.
21:36You've got to stay away
21:37from the one that got zero.
21:38So which one
21:39do you think
21:40was named by the people
21:41that got the 16 points?
21:43Okay.
21:43We're going to go
21:44with Meet the Press.
21:45You say Meet the Press.
21:46Meet the Press.
21:47You all got a groan
21:48from the audience.
21:48Well, that's what I think.
21:50Did Meet the Press
21:50get 16 or zero?
21:52It got 16% for you.
21:57The Late Show got zero.
22:03Okay.
22:04We add your points together.
22:05It gives you a grand total
22:06of 34 points.
22:08Good for you.
22:09And as I said,
22:09The Late Show got zero points.
22:11Right.
22:11Okay.
22:12Daniel Markita,
22:12you have a total
22:13of 34 points.
22:14Daniel, it's your turn to go.
22:16If you want to stop now,
22:17I'll give you $10 a point
22:18or $340.
22:19Remember, Daniel,
22:20if you continue to play,
22:21and if you choose an answer
22:23that has a zero,
22:24you lose it all.
22:25So what's your decision?
22:26Do you quit right now
22:27with your $340?
22:31Good luck.
22:33Good luck.
22:33They say they're going to go.
22:35They're going to go.
22:36Okay.
22:38Good luck to you.
22:39Here's your question, Daniel.
22:41In what country of the world
22:42do the men live the longest?
22:45Which of these responses
22:46got any response at all?
22:48Was it Sweden?
22:49Denmark or Russia?
22:52Sweden, Denmark, or Russia?
22:54Which one do you think
22:55got any response at all?
22:58Okay.
22:59I really think...
23:01I think we'll go with Russia.
23:03You want to go with Russia?
23:05Okay, fine.
23:06They say they're going
23:06to go with Russia?
23:07I think that's...
23:07How many people thought
23:08Russia was a country
23:09in which men lived the longest?
23:1156%.
23:1252%.
23:17We add those 52 points
23:21to your score,
23:21you now have a total
23:22of 86 points.
23:24You're 14 points away
23:26from $2,500.
23:28Now, Daniel,
23:28of the two countries left,
23:30Sweden and Denmark,
23:32one country got
23:32a percentage response,
23:34one country nobody thought
23:35the men lived the longest.
23:36So which one do you pick now?
23:38Which country do you think
23:39the people thought
23:40men lived the longest
23:41in, Sweden or Denmark?
23:43Well, Sweden is notorious
23:45for good sex,
23:46so we'll go with Sweden.
23:49Oh, long, yeah.
23:50Longevity comes with...
23:51Gee, isn't that terrible?
23:52I always heard that
23:53and kill you, but...
23:54All right.
23:59Did Sweden get
24:01six points or no points?
24:02It got six points!
24:04You have a six points
24:11in your score
24:11for the total of 92.
24:13Denmark, of course,
24:14got no points at all.
24:16In the right country,
24:17Daniel, you were right,
24:18Sweden was the right country.
24:20That's the one where
24:20men lived the longest.
24:21Now, here's your third question.
24:22Markita, it's up to you.
24:24You can quit right now
24:25or you can go on.
24:26You have 92 points.
24:28$920.
24:29You want to stay with it.
24:30You're eight points
24:31away from $2,500.
24:32How do you play it?
24:34Remember, if you hit zero,
24:35you're out of the dollar.
24:36Okay, we're gonna go.
24:37We're gonna go.
24:38Here's the third question.
24:41You need eight points.
24:42We asked the people
24:43to tell us the country
24:44of the world
24:44where people buy
24:45the most Rolls-Royce automobiles.
24:47Take a look
24:47at the three possible answers.
24:49Venezuela,
24:50United States of America,
24:51or England.
24:52All you need is eight points.
24:54Which one of these countries
24:55do you think people said
24:57bought the most Rolls-Royces?
24:58Okay, I've seen a lot
25:00in the United States,
25:01so that's what we'll go with.
25:02You say in the United States
25:03they need eight points
25:04for the game.
25:04Did the United States
25:05get eight points?
25:06It got 49 points.
25:08You got it.
25:09$2,500.
25:12Congratulations.
25:13You got it.
25:16The right country is England.
25:18Venezuela got nothing.
25:19England got 24.
25:21That's what we got.
25:21Let's see you at $2,500.
25:24Daniel, we're gonna take a break.
25:26We'll be back here
25:26in just a moment.
25:27It's been a long day.
25:33Let's go to bed.
25:34Honey, there's something
25:35I'd like you to sleep on tonight.
25:36Oh?
25:36I think we should apply
25:37for Union Fidelity's
25:39Guaranteed Life Plus.
25:40It's an insurance plan
25:41for folks age 45 to 74
25:43that guarantees our acceptance.
25:45I called their toll-free number
25:46for free information.
25:48It came in the mail today.
25:50Sounds great.
25:51But we bought life insurance
25:52years ago.
25:53Yes, but we both know
25:54how the cost of living
25:55has gone up since then
25:56and our current insurance
25:58may not be enough.
25:59Hmm.
26:00They say in this brochure
26:01that because of inflation
26:03a $20,000 insurance policy
26:05bought 10 years ago
26:07is now worth less than $10,000.
26:09I had no idea.
26:10But how does this insurance plan help?
26:12It pays top-dollar cash benefits
26:14over and above our present coverage.
26:17And we don't have to take physical exams
26:19or answer a single health question
26:21to qualify
26:22because we can't be turned down
26:24for any reason.
26:25That's hard to believe.
26:26I mean, I'm over 50.
26:27This insurance plan
26:28must be very expensive.
26:29Wrong, dear.
26:30It's $4.95 a month.
26:32$4.95?
26:33I've compared other plans
26:35and that rate is among
26:36the most affordable on the market
26:38for this type of protection.
26:39I'll say.
26:40And that rate will never increase
26:42for as long as we keep the coverage.
26:44And no physical exam?
26:46Sounds great.
26:47Plus, it covers both of us.
26:48Yep.
26:48And you know how important
26:49that can be for a family.
26:51If something should happen
26:53to either one of us,
26:54that cash would sure be useful
26:55in meeting financial commitments
26:57like mortgage payments,
26:58monthly bills,
26:59final expenses,
27:01completion of the kid's education.
27:03I don't think I have to sleep
27:04on this at all.
27:04My mind's made up.
27:05Let's mail the application form
27:07right away.
27:07For our sake
27:08and theirs.
27:09Hmm.
27:10For $4.95 a month,
27:11you too can be protected.

29:08a great deal of importance
29:09on family,
29:10on home,
29:11and on God.
29:12I believe the true strength
29:14of this nation
29:14comes from family,
29:16on home,
29:17and on God.
29:18I believe the true strength
29:20of this nation
29:20comes from those family values.
29:23Most everyone in this country
29:24has roots coming
29:25from somewhere else,
29:26whether our ancestors
29:27came here on the Mayflower
29:29or we arrived here
29:30yesterday afternoon.
29:31And our traditions,
29:33whether from the old country
29:34or from American ancestors,
29:36are preserved
29:37within our families.
