Scarlett: A waitress's beverage.
Doug: A waitress's beverage. David, we start with you this time to give away a letter.
David: Give Robert the X.
Doug: There's no X. You may take a letter.
David: I'll take the E.
Doug: Two E's...
Doug: ...last letter of the first word; last letter of the last word. This is a chance to take back the lead. A waitress's beverage.
David: Robert, you're it.
Doug: Very well. Indeed, it's over to Robert.
Robert: Give the Z.
Doug: No Z. Take a letter.
Robert: Take the A.
Doug: Well, this is interesting...
Doug: ...first letter of the first word; first letter of the last word. Can you pad the lead with the A's and E's? A waitress's beverage.
Robert: No guess.
Doug: And it's back to David.
David: Robert looks like he could use a Q.
Doug: Q doesn't work. You may take a letter.
David: I'll take the Q without a tail, the O please.
Doug: Guest what...?
Doug: First letter of the second word. Chance to take back the lead. A waitress's beverage.
David: I'm still stumped at one of the words. Robert, you're it again.
Doug: Very well. Robert, the ball's back in your court.
Robert: Give the J.
Doug: And there's no J. You may take a letter.
Robert: Take the B.
Doug: There is one B.
Doug: First consonant you take entitles you to another guess. This is for a total of CY$1250. A waitress's beverage.
Robert: Absinthe of apple?
Doug: Incorrect. David, back to you.
David: Okay I gotta put some letters in this puzzle, and I don't mean in Robert's favor. Give him the W.
Doug: There's no W. You may take a letter.
David: I'll take the L, and hope for the best.
Doug: Second letter, last word.
Doug: Interesting configuration. In the longest words, the first, second and last letters are exposed. Do you have the answer for a total of CY$1000? A waitress's beverage.
David: I was hoping the L was also in the first word. Robert, you're it.
Doug: Okie doke. Robert, indeed, it's back to you.
Robert: Give the Y.
Doug: No Y. You may take a letter.
Robert: Take the S.
Doug: And there's an S...
Doug: ...right next door to the B. Another chance to win another CY$750. A waitress's beverage.
Robert: Absinthe or alive?
Doug: Incorrect. David, ball's back in your court.
David: Okay I think I have it now. Give Robert the U.
Doug: No U. And *U* may take a letter now.
David: I hope the F is in there once.
Doug: Your hope's been answered.
Doug: It completes the second word. Another chance to take back the lead. A waitress's beverage.
David: Hey Doug, I don't think you want to serve Absinthe Of Alice at your restaurant. I'd hate to see Alice drunk.
Doug: Absinthe of Alice is right!
Doug: By the way, Alice from the movie "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" which gave way to that classic sitcom "Alice" was the waitress we had in mind. If I worked for Mel Sharples, I'd be driven to drink, too.
