HEATHER
Hello and welcome to The Game Show. I am your host Heather Rye and today we have two new contestants who will try to win the prizes we have for them. Please welcome our first guest, Sally Mae Lighthead. (Sally enters). Hello Sally why don’t you tell us a little about yourself.
SALLY
Hi, my name is Sally Mae Lighthead and I attend The University of Schools where my major is undecided.
HEATHER
Thank you Sally. Our next contestant is Rosie Feathers. (Rosie enters). Hello Rosie, go ahead and introduce yourself and the polka-dots to the audience.
ROSIE
Hi, my name is Rosie Feathers, I am a retired nurse and I now own my own jewelry business.
HEATHER
Thank you Rosie. The rules are simple I ask a question the first to buzz in answers. If the answer is correct you get five points, if it’s wrong you lose two points. Are you ready? First question, name the first man ever on the face of this earth. (Rosie Buzzes in) Yes, Rosie.
ROSIE
That would be Adam. (Heather doesn’t respond) Adam. The answer is Adam. Heather hello can you hear me.
HEATHER
Rosie I’m sorry, you’re gonna have to speak up; I can’t hear you over your outfit.
ROSIE
ADAM, the answer is ADAM!
HEATHER
You are correct. Next question, what is Tina Tuner’s real name? (Rosie buzzes in) Yes Rosie
ROSIE
Oh, man I just forgot it. Ana Mae
HEATHER
Times up. Sally, you may answer the question.
SALLY
Can I use a life line?
HEATHER
We don’t have life lines on this show.
SALLY
Oh. Well, can I buy a vowel?
HEATHER
Never mind. The answer is Anna Mae Bullock. Next question —
SALLY
Who’s Anna Mae Bullock?
HEATHER
Tina Turner.
SALLY
That doesn’t make since. How can Tina Turner be Anna Mae Bullock when she is Tina Turner?
HEATHER
Tina Turner is not her real name.
SALLY
Oh my gosh, why would she use a fake name. Is she under cover? Oh no we just blew her cover.
HEATHER
Tina Turner is her stage name.
SALLY
Why would her stage have a name? And why is she using her stages name?
HEAHTER
Sally
SALLY
What?
HEATHER
Shut up. Next question, (Buzzer sounded) oh, that means time is up. Since Rosie has the most points she will go on to the next round. Unfortunately Sally Mae Lighthead, who is living up to her last name, it’s time for you to go, but we do have some parting gifts for you.
SALLY
What type of gifts are they? And what are they parting from?
HEATHER
Thank you Sally, you may leave. (Sally exits) Are you ready for the second round?
ROSIE
Yes I am. I’m so excited.
HEATHER
Here are the rules. I ask a question you answer them. If you answer them correctly that is five points. For each one you answer correctly you are closer to the grand prize. If you don’t know an answer say pass.
ROSIE
What’s the grand prize?
HEATHER
Who cares? First question, what is one plus one?
ROSIE
Two.
HEATHER
Correct, where do apples come from?
ROSIE
Apple trees.
HEATHER
Correct, why did the chicken cross the road?
ROSIE
To get to the other side.
HEATHER
Correct, why did you wear that polka-dotted mess?
ROSIE
Excuse me.
HEATHER
Why did you wear that polka-dotted mess?
ROSIE
Why are you being so rude to me?
HEATHER
I ask the question, and you answer them, why did you wear that polka-dotted mess?
ROSIE
I demand an apology.
HEATHER
So do I.
ROSIE
What did I do?
HEATHER
You wore that outfit.
ROSIE
I am going to call the producer of this show and complain about you.
HEATHER
And I’m gonna call the Make-Over Show and nominate you. (Rosie exits). That’s all the time we have on The Game Show. Come back tomorrow, or don’t.
