(Doug walks out from behind the video poker screen)
Doug: Thank you, ghost of Jay Stewart. Hellooooooo, everybody, and welcome to the debut of Net Poker. We've got tons of cyber-cash to give away plus maybe even a new car. To help us out, here's our dealer, D.J. Hamilton.
(audience cheers) (Deej walks out wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, white tuxedo jacket and top hat)
Doug: Well, aren't you decked out, tonight?
D.J.: Oh, Doug, that was bad.
Doug: What do you mean?
D.J.: Decked? Cards? Net Poker? (audience laughs)
Doug: Ah. Sometimes I don't know my own strength. Anyway, who's hear for our maiden voyage?
D.J.: Tonight, we have Noiel Spearman, Tom Krueger and Robert McBride. Welcome, guys.

Doug: Now, here's how we play the first half of the Video Poker round. I have five multiple choice, toss-up questions -- each worth 10 more points. Chime in with the right answer and the points are yours. If all three of you miss, no one gets the points and we move on. After five questions, we'll each let you have possession of the Video Poker screen for bonus points. Right now, let's start the questions with this...
