Golf Caddy
Carlos' love of movies helped him learn English, and helps him pick up women at bars by quoting movie lines. An example: "I'm just a boy, looking at a girl, asking her to fall in love with him." Usually, he gets a slap in the face, but every once in a while he'll get "a nice hug." Meredith seems to recognize this is from "Notting Hill," and says it worked on Julia Roberts. Carlos hasn't told anyone at his golf course that he's on Millionaire, since they'll stop tipping him.
Carlos has $1,000 and all of his lifelines remaining, including the ATE. Today's expert is Ben Mankierwicz, half of the team from "At the Movies." Ben mentions that he's feeling lonely without Ben Lyons, but he has his dog with him, so he thinks he'll be OK.
