Doug: Let's get back to this game. Robert leads CY$250 to nothing. But this round is worth CY$500. David has the first crack at it -- with this definition.

Scarlett: All's quiet at the furniture store.
Doug: All's quiet at the furniture store. David, start us off by giving away a letter that you do not want.
David: Okay let's try this again. Give Robert the Zed.
Doug: Zed, Z, however you say the 26th letter of the alphabet, it's not there. Take a letter.
David: I'll take the E.
Doug: Great take -- *four* E's.
Doug: There they are. Chance to pull ahead in the score. All's quiet at the furniture store.
(time passes) (buzz buzz)
Doug: There's the signal time is up. Over to Robert for the first time in the round.
Robert: Give the X.
Doug: No X. You may take a letter.
Robert: I have to take the T's.
Doug: Well, you don't *have* to -- but...
Doug: ...you are right in thinking there's more than one T in the solution. Two as you can see. Can you win this round and keep the drive alive for a clean sweep? All's quiet at the furniture store.
Robert: No idea.
Doug: Very well. David, back to you.
David: Okay, give Robert the Q.
Doug: There's no Q. You may take a letter.
David: I know of at least two, I'll take the H.
Doug: Indeed, two H's.
Doug: And that's all there is. The H's give you a another chance to guess. All's quiet at the furniture store.
David: You're it, Robert!
Doug: OK, back to Robert.
Robert: Give the J.
Doug: And there's no J. You may take a letter.
Robert: Take the A.
Doug: There is one A...
Doug: ...in the last word. Another chance to go 2-for-2 and be a step closer to the sweep. All's quiet at the furniture store.
Robert: I'm blanking.
Doug: No guess from Robert. Back to David.
David: In this particular puzzle, I'm not a W lover.
Doug: I know where that comes from -- meetings lead by "Sesame Street's" Bert. I'll take that as a give away of a W -- and there's no W. You may take one.
David: Show me an L in there somewhere, Doug. I hope.
Doug: I'm afraid I can't show you an L.
Doug: But I can show you two L's -- one in the second word and the other starts the last word. You have letters in all but the third word. Do you have an answer for CY$500? All's quiet at the furniture store.
David: Last time I was knocking these puzzles out of the park, this time I'm drawing blanks. Robert, you're it.
Doug: Very well. Back to Robert.
Robert: Give the K.
Doug: No K. Take a letter.
Robert: Take the S.
Doug: And there are two S's.
Doug: One S to start the second word, the other to end the last. For CY$500, all's quiet at the furniture store.
Robert: It sounds like THE SILENCE OF THE LAMPS to me!
Doug: Could you get a little more excited next time? :) That's right.
