[Audience applause, theme concludes]

What a show we have for you tonight, folks, live from Bluffington Beach! I’m Richard Gillespie, and this is my cohost Michaela Lewis.  Let’s meet the contestants!

I’m just going to watch until I see my aunt.

First, meet Mickie, a laundromat repairman from Smithsville. Hi Mickie!

Howdy! 

[Audience applause]

And here’s Lizzy, an accounts specialist from Trenton. Good to have you with us, Lizzy!

Hi Rich!

That’s her! That’s my aunt! I did her hair for this.

[Audience applause]

And finally, meet Jocelyn, a civil engineer from right here in Atlantic City! Great to meet you, Jocelyn! 

Do not repair the erase head.

[Audience applause]

What? 

What - let me roll that back. 

[Rewind whine]

Do not repair the erase head.

[Audience applause]

Best of luck to you all! 

That can’t be. She can’t have said that. 

Michaela, darling, could you put the board in motion? 

[Letter board sound effects]

Interesting. Interesting. 

Mickie, you’re up first. Go right ahead.

[Wheel spins, audience applauds]

$2000. Pick a letter. 

I’ll take T, please.

[Letter board sound effects]

Two T’s, Mickie.

I’ll take an S, please. 

[Buzzer sounds]

Oh, I’m sorry Mickie. Moving on to you, Jocelyn.

Thanks, Rich. Do not repair the erase head. 

[Marianne gasps]

[Audience applauds]

We all agree. I was just speaking with Lizzy before we came on. She shook my hand. 

I said, don’t you think she’d be making a mistake? To touch that erase head?

And Lizzy, your aunt Lizzy? She said, Jocelyn, you’ve been here for so long, don’t you think this might be it? The way out of the studio? 

And I laughed and said, I’ve felt the edge of that, Liz, and it is a cold death. There’s an obliteration in the heart of the magnet. No beauty in it. 

Fair enough, said Lizzy. 

So we agreed. Better to be here with Rich. No escape without devastation.

Please put the Persimmon back on the shelf. 

I’m going to spin the wheel, now.
