Scarlett: They were involved in the final scene of the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
Doug: Oh *now* the scribes get wordy. (light laughter from the crowd) They were involved in the final scene of the TV series "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Michael, please tell me who gets the honor of giving away the first letter of this final round.
Michael: I will take a chance and have Andy give away the first letter to me.
Doug: All right, Andy, ball's in your court. Give away a letter you do not want.
Andy: I'll give the X.
Doug: There's no X. You may take a letter.
Andy: I'll take Mr. T's favorite letter -- T.
Doug: There are two T's.
Doug: You have a chance to win the tournament right now. A correct solution will bring your total winnings to CY$1,203,500.
Andy: All I can come up with is -- The Captain and a Neil.
Doug: If "The Captain and a Neil" is right, you win the million. Is it "The Captain and a Neil"?

Michael: Doug, don't pull that Meredith Vieira shtick on me. (audience laughs)
Doug: We gotta throw in the dramatic effect. Is it "the captain and a deal"?

Doug: Congratulations, Michael. The captain, as in Jean-Luc Picard, and a deal, as in one of the preliminary actions of a hand of poker, were involved in the final scene of "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
Members of the Enterprise crew had a weekly poker game and the captain joined in during the final scene.
We'll crunch some big numbers in a bit. But first, a big hand for these two players. They deserve it.
(audience cheers)
Doug: Andy, a great game. The CY$1500 becomes a quarter million.

Doug: Michael, let's turn that 2000 into a million.

(louder cheers)
Doug: Add that to the tournament score that got you here and your winning from earlier tonight, you have yourself a grand total of CY$1,256,750.

(more cheers)
ADVANCE TO A TO Z ROUND
