Now this is a good one.
I don’t think it’s Soar, that doesn’t sound like a very exciting mascot name.
Sam is a bit too general for me.
I’m really tossing up between Swoop and Phil. Gee a 50/50 would have been handy here.
I’m leaning towards Swoop as I think that is the most relatable for an Eagle as eagles can swoop.
Do I consult my phone a friend here?
............................
I think my hunch is enough on this one, I’m going to play. Swoop final.

Wow. Lock in B: Swoop, please. *I stare at the camera bug-eyed as the never before heard q12 Final Answer cue plays, replacing the question bed in the background*
A: Sam B: Swoop C: Phil D: Soar
I didn't think we'd be here so quickly on a question about the NFL, but... here we are.
I actually thought it was Soar. It might have something to do with their fight song, that goes "Die, Eagles, Die", or something along those lines. *the audience chuckles* What? I'm an eternally bitter Vikings fan. Is that so wrong? *they chuckle again* But you made quite the gamble, again holding back that one lifeline, and locked in B: Swoop.
exambolor...
I was wrong, but you're right! You've won $150,000! *the audience cheers wildly as the q12 correct cue plays and the studio lights come back on*
A: Sam B: Swoop C: Phil D: Soar
Oh my goodness! How on earth, I have no idea!
*the q13 let's play cue plays as the studio goes completely dark, illuminating only me and the contestant*
Well... I've just embarrassed my country, but that's pretty easy to do nowadays. *the audience chuckles again* This is probably the best episode I've ever been involved in. Remember mysteryman123, the previous contestant who won $150,000? You're now at that same level, but still with a lifeline to boot. How does it feel to be in the position you're in right now?

It’s an unreal position to be in. Hopefully we can go that bit further!

You said it first. Already you've equaled the winnings total of my biggest winner ever, and now we've got just three more questions left before you potentially leave the studio with this check right here. *I hold up a piece of paper written out for $1,000,000 that subtly reads "FOR DISPLAY ONLY"* I'm kidding. The money goes straight into your bank account.
$1 million $500,000 $250,000 $150,000 $75,000 $50,000 $20,000 $10,000 $5000 $2000 $1000 $500 $300 $200 $100
You're about to have a look at the question for $250,000 — that's a quarter of a million. You do not have to play this question, you can still Phone a Friend... you can Phone a Friend and still walk away, of course. That $150,000 is very real and it's there.
If you answer incorrectly... you still leave us with $50k, but you lose a hundred thousand dollars. That's quite the steep drop... but it's worth a quarter of a million dollars. This is the question...
*the q13 question bed plays in the background*
Which poet wrote Mending Wall?
A: Robert Frost B: John Keats C: Lord Byron D: Emily Dickinson

Gotta Phone a Friend here. No pressure to them by the way (laughs)

Haha, no pressure at all! Right, our friends at AT&T will now reach out to your friend m275abbott, who's been secluded backstage for the whole show so far... *the audience chuckles* and we'll see if he can help you. *the rotary phone in the secluded room backstage rings twice* "Hello?" Hello, m275abbott? "This is." *in a fake Australian accent* Hi, it's Eddie McGuire calling from Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, good evening! "You're not Eddie!" *the audience laughs* "You just said you're in LA!" Yeah, Launceston. Anyway, your friend exambolor is in the chair, and he's doing quite well — he's on a quarter of a million dollars! "Oh, no." *they laugh again* Except he's stuck on this question, and he believes you'll get him over the hump. "Ok, lay it on me." Will do. You've got 48 hours to talk it out, and your time starts now. *as the 48-hour timer starts, the contestant reads out the question and four choices as shown on his screen* Which poet wrote Mending Wall? A: Robert Frost B: John Keats C: Lord Byron D: Emily Dickinson

The guy that wrote the poem is a legend and he did a poem for President Kennedy in his inaugural back in 1961. It's A: Robert Frost and I'm 100% sure on this one.

Well with that 100% certainty, I’m going to go with my friend.
Robert Frost, Final.

*the never before heard q13 Final Answer cue plays, replacing the question bed in the background*
A: Robert Frost B: John Keats C: Lord Byron D: Emily Dickinson
I would tear your $150,000 check into little bits right around here, but we don't do checks anymore... *the audience chuckles nervously*
It's the right answer! You've won a quarter of a million! *the audience cheers wildly as the q13 correct cue plays and the studio lights come back on*
A: Robert Frost B: John Keats C: Lord Byron D: Emily Dickinson
That is just extraordinary! Like, wow!
*the q14 let's play cue plays as the studio goes completely dark, illuminating only me and the contestant*
Look at what you've just done. That's $250,000 to your name, and it's ready to go straight into your bank account. But... you're two questions away from winning a million dollars. Keep in mind that you have no more lifelines.
$1 million $500,000 $250,000 $150,000 $75,000 $50,000 $20,000 $10,000 $5000 $2000 $1000 $500 $300 $200 $100
This next question, number fourteen out of fifteen, is worth $500,000. You obviously do not have to answer. You might as well have at least a short glance at the question, as you can still walk away afterwards. But, if you decide to play and give me a wrong answer, you lose 200 of the 250 Gs you have right now. You still keep the $50,000 regardless, but the drop is real, and it's huge.
This is the question, for half a million dollars...
*the q14 question bed plays in the background*
Which article in the German language is in the neuter genitive form?
A: Die B: Der C: Dem D: Des

I’m delighted to say I have no clue, and I am very happy to walk away right here, I’ve had a lot of fun.
Walk away, final

Ok, I absolutely do not blame you at all. With that decision, you go away with a quarter of a million dollars, the most money I've ever given away in one shot, and I'm sending the money straight into your account now. Give him a big hand! *the audience cheers as the third-tier walk away cue plays; meanwhile I depress a certain black button, instantly transferring the winnings to the contestant's bank account* Now... I know there are some people who are curious, myself included... we'll go ahead and reveal the correct answer right now. I happen to know a thing or two about the German articles, as I studied German all through high school. It's either "dem" or "des", definitely not A or B. I would have locked in C: dem, just because I know "des" is neuter possessive, and as such that's how I believe they refer to it, but I can't quite rule out the possibility that it could be neuter genitive. Now computer, could you please reveal the correct answer... A: Die B: Der C: Dem D: DesOh, for Pete's sake. *the audience laughs* Nobody heard what I just said, right? *they laugh again* Anyway, that's your answer, and congratulations once again on your win of $250,000! *the audience cheers as the third-tier say goodbye to contestant cue plays and the contestant exits stage left* What a productive episode this has been! We gave away a massive $400,000 this time around, my personal best so far, with mysteryman123 winning $150,000, and exambolor, as you all just saw there, becoming my biggest winner yet, taking home a quarter of a million dollars. I'd also like to thank Kirbyplayers for writing the questions and m275abbott for providing lifeline support for our contestants, we greatly appreciate your continued support. With that said, on behalf of everyone in the Millionaire Fans forum, especially all of our RPG participants, thank you all for tuning in. I've been Peachfanclub, and we hope we'll see you in the next episode. From Los Angeles, good night! *the audience does a continuous round of applause as the following WWTBAM outro, starting at 8:35, plays*
