You're probably great at this game, aren't you? - I was here in '53. [laughter] - Yeah. OK. Hah! We probably should get right to it, don't you think we should? Kind of. Deborah is our champ. Willie only just got here. He hasn't even had a chance to play yet. So Willie, why don't you tell us about yourself again, and we'll see-- - Yo

u have no money, brother? - Not yet. - No-- well, he just got here. - --on it, though. - He hasn't-- he hasn't played yet. But he's gonna get to play now, sir. And then-- then he'll have some money.

But you said cymbal, though. Yeah. - I threw him with Baris. - I kno

w. You were going for the show. - Yeah, "Gong Show." - But that's the first thing crossed my mind, too, to tell you the truth. That's a hard word. Now the other one, you said death and vehicle. Uh, if you had said funeral. - Oh, hearse. - Yeah. See, I didn't mean to make you feel bad, but that probably would have helped, though. [laughter] That-- that probably would have gotten-- - Do they always do a little running commentary after you blow it? - [laughs] - Just with me. I see. - Well, I know y

ou well enough, but I figure you won't smack me one. You got seven. That's-- that's very good the first time over here, because it's very rough the first time. - Very good for me. [laughs] - For Scoey, it's been fantastic. So you got $700. You, uh-- you have a total of $3,300, Willie. - Oh. Really? - Yeah. Because you got the Cashword. - Oh, I see. - So you're doing fine. Next time, the Cashword would be worth $5,000 more, or $10,000. Let's cross back and play some more. Come on, guys. [theme mu

sic] Gong's a tough word. - Yeah. - Then I want to-- - When I said Baris, I said, why did I say that? - [laughs] I saw you do it. Well, we got-- we had gong on a show once a long time ago, and I think, was it, uh, James Coburn who was really into gongs? And the person said, James Coburn. We-- we could have sat there for two months-- [laughter] --trying to get a G word, you know. OK, here's a new player. Patty, come on in and sign in, won't you, please? [theme music] Hi. Nice to meet you. - You m

et Scoey, and this is Willie. You met Susan. Yes, sir? - Willie, you wanna sit over there? Come on. - Oh. [laughter] - She'll be here soon enough. - She'll be over here in just a little while. Hold on, now. OK. Patty, welcome. Tell us all about yourself. - Hi, my name is Patty Healy. I live here in Los Angeles, where I work as a bartender. And prior to that, I lived in New York City, New Jersey, Greece, and Egypt. - Well, you were either a spy or, uh, or someone-- - Not quite. - How come-- yeah.

How come Greece and Egypt? - Um, my father is in the pharmaceutical industry. - Ah. - Oh! Yeah. - OK. [laughter] We got that one, don't we? - Sorry, Dad. - Yeah. How funny Colombia isn't in there anywhere. OK. [laughter] All right. Oh! We're out of time? - He's retail. [laughter] We have no time. We'll be here tomorrow. Please don't miss it.
