All: WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE!

[Applause]

Qoone: The famous wheel is spinning your way towards thousands of dollars in cash! And now from the ACME Studios in New York, here are the stars of our show: Chucklewood's funniest raccoon, Freddie!

[Freddie enters HQ and does a cartwheel into the set]

Qoone: And Jonathan Mann!

[Jon enters HQ; cheers and applause]

Freddie: Thank you! Thank you!

Jon: Thank you everybody. Welcome to the show.

Freddie: The summer sun is fading as the year grows old.

Jon: Yes, Freddie. We saying goodbye to longer days as we get ready to go into the season of Fall. We have game in progress so we are gonna pick that up right now. But first, let's meet our two contestants. 

Freddie: And here's the mighty Qoone to introduce them.

[Now to the contestants]

Qoone: She enjoys playing the clarinet and loves horseback riding. From Springfield, Massachusetts, meet Cloris Franchen!

He plays golf, basketball, archery and loves to watch classic sports. From Staten Island, meet Sam Lest!

[Applause]

Jon: Thanks, Qoone.

Jon: [spins the wheel] There’s hundreds of dollars in cash waiting to be won. You spin the wheel, guess a letter. If that letter’s in the puzzle, the money will be added to your bank. Guess a letter that's not in the puzzle, you lose your turn. But be careful of those two black and white spaces. Lose a Turn – land on that, your turn is over automatically. And finally, the Bankrupt.
 
[Audience boos]
 
Jon: Land on that, all of the money in the round be wiped away. If you have no money and if the other player has money, we have a wedge called Power.

Aoi: POWER!

Jon: Land on that wedge, guess a correct letter and the opponent's bank goes to you. First player to solve two puzzles will go to our Bonus Round where they can double, triple or quadruple their winnings!

[Applause]

Jon: We're in the middle of Game 2. So the score in terms of puzzles is 1-0 in favor of Sam. Here's the puzzle that we were using.

Freddie: The category is People. And remember People doesn't always mean proper name.

Jon: Here's what the board looked like when we last left.

[_ _ _ T _ _ _ _ _
T _ _ _ _ _ _ S]

Jon: The banks stand thus: Cloris you have $900. Sam you have $300. Cloris, I believe it's your turn.

[Cloris spins]

[$175]

Cloris: R.

Freddie: Hey, that's not bad. Two R's.

[_ _ R T _ _ _ _ _
T _ _ _ _ _ R S]

Jon: $1,250. You can buy a vowel, spin the wheel or solve the puzzle.

Cloris: I'll buy a vowel. An E.

Freddie: Ain't that wrong with a bit of four-play. Four E's.

[_ E R T _ _ _ E _

Jon: That is amazing, Cloris! $2,200 for you. You have a game. Sam has a game. We are going to go to a tiebreaker round to determine who goes to the Bonus Round. Here's how it works. In a moment, Freddie will give a wheel a final spin. I will then ask you for a letter, if it's in the puzzle, you have five seconds to solve it. Vowels aren't worth nothing, consonants are worth whatever amount Freddie lands on. Ready, Freddie?

Freddie: Yes I am.

Jon: Spin the wheel!

[Freddie grabs his tail, wipes his hands using it and spins the wheel]

[$100]

Jon: Only $100 for each consonant we find. Here is our puzzle.
