$2K - Two New Yorkers discuss the age-old "good personality" dilemma in this scene from what classic comedy?
[Transcriber's note - I'm not going to try and reproduce the dialog, but there are two actors featured in it; one is Billy Crystal and another actor sporting a black moustache. The "dilemma" is about girls who are described as having "good personalities" - are they good-looking or not?]
A - Throw Momma from the Train
B - When Harry met Sally
C - Forget Paris
D - City Slickers
John loves this movie.
$4K - In what romantic comedy do Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock play sisters who also happen to be witches?
A - The Craft
B - Hocus Pocus
C - Bewitched
D - Practical Magic
John knows that Nicole Kidman was in Bewitched but doesn't know if she was in two witch-themed movies. He asks for the 50/50, which leaves A and D. John knows it's not The Craft.

A - Gladiator
B - Braveheart

Commercial break

$16K - In "Rushmore," Max Fischer stages a play based on what classic Al Pacino movie?
A - Dog Day Afternoon
B - Serpico
C - Scarface
D - The Godfather: Part II
John has a friend who would be very upset that he doesn't know the answer, so he'll have to use his phone-a-friend. Meredith asks if that's who he's going to call. No, John replies, he's going to call Brooke, who sits in the cubicle next to him at work. He reads the question and there is total silence on the other end, and finally Brooke comes back and says, "Dog Day Afternoon." John asks if she's sure and she says, "not totally." John says that Brooke knows her movies and appreciates that she took time to wait by the phone to get his call. He makes A his final answer, leaving with $1K.

Yet another WWOQ for $16K...
But how could he have missed the 10,000,001 ads on TV for "The Brave One"?

There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

$200: <grumble>®... ask the audience.
$8K: There goes the PAF.
$16K: 50:50 wouldn't help me since I don't have the first damn clue. I'm done with $8,000.

AMC has been running movies that have ties to the Oscars (nominees in various categories); they ran Planet of the Apes on Saturday and I watched it.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$300 - In a classic 1968 film, Charlton Heston says, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty" what?

The guy with the moustache looked and sounded like Joe Pesci but checking imdb.com I see that he wasn't in the movie. I've never seen When Harry Met Sally but I know enough about Billy Crystal movies to know it's not any of the others.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$2K - Two New Yorkers discuss the age-old "good personality" dilemma in this scene from what classic comedy?

Nice of John to "reward" Brooke with the call; it's a shame she came up with the wrong answer and seemed so sure of it.

The actor is the wonderful late Bruno Kirby, who played the Young Clemenza in Godfather II, as well as Marlon Brando's nephew in The Freshman, a movie I absolutely love (even if a lot of other people didn't).

OK, I find this very odd. In that he is from Chicago, I am going to guess that he got the call more than three days ago, when his wife still was expecting. Why would he say, "yes" to travelling to New York?BBTranscriptTeam wrote:John Deligiannis

Maybe the birth of the baby was scheduled, and his wife was induced. Still, he would not have known at the time of the call that everything would be fine with the baby. What if there were issues with jaundice or someo other medical condition? Plus, as the mothers on this Bored can attest, I know that my wife was in no condition to take care of a baby, by herself, three days after giving birth.
Believe me -- if he had said, "Thanks, but I can not fly to New York right now. My wife is giving birth," TPTB would have called him back for a later taping. They are great in that regard.

2. Netflix Movie Week was taped on one day only. Turn that down and you're done for the season and TPTB are likely to forget about you by next season.
