BOSS: Throw him to Dandee....I won't have Dandee losing HIS lunch! HA HA HA! (The stagehand throws him behind a door and locks it.

MIKE: Well, I'll learn all I can and hope to get lucky! Besides, the ques- tions are very general in content. JOEL: Maybe it would be better if you studied somewhere quiet and relaxing. Say, the bubble room? TOM: Yeah, there you can study in peace and quiet while we cause a ruckus over here! MIKE: Well, OK (Mike enters the hall and sits down between doors 4 and 3...the bubble room... soap bubbles fill the room while Mike relaxes with his books) (Joel and the bots notice Cambot keeps staring toward their destination) JOEL: He just keeps staring at that place...I wonder why.

MIKE: Because they had no food. HOST: WRONG!! The correct answer was "because their cable was out"! Now let's spin the wheel to see how you can LOSE YOUR LUNCH!! (Wheel spins and lands on "Spoiled Cottage Cheese") TOM (watching from the Satellite): It's too vile! I can't look! (While Mike vomits at the sight of the slide, back aboard the Satellite, Cambot is shaking almost violently) JOEL: What is it, Cambot? (Cambot projects a book of Tantalan law turned to one of the pages) JOEL: It says here that losing a Tantalan game show is punishable by death!!

Now let's spin the wheel to see how you will LOSE YOUR LUNCH!! (Wheel spins and stops on "Naked Roseanne Arnold". Mike vomits) (Many questions later..) HOST: And at the end of Round 2 the score is Hentad-2200, Mike-55. Mike, it took a lot of willpower to keep from vomiting at the sight of 20th century Earth singing star Lyle Lovett! When we come back, the final question! Players, set your wagers for this category.....THE SPAM TAKEOVER. (Mike wages 55 and Hentad wages 2200. Goes to commercial) HENTAD: Nelson, you haven't got a chance! I know almost everything about the Spam Takeover! You're Dandee fodder! MIKE: What? HENTAD: Dandee, the grockel that lives here....he always gets hungry after a show! Did you actually think your death would be painless???? (back on the Satellite...) JOEL: Gypsy, can you port him out of there? GYPSY: No! There's too much TV interference. CROW: Is there anything TV DOESN'T interfere with? TOM: Hey guys, the commercial's over!!! (back at the studio) HOST: OK..you made your wagers and I see you both bet it all. Well, here is your question.....What was the name of the Queen who was almost over- thrown? You have 30 seconds. (cheesy tick-tock music plays. Hentad now looks worried) (Time runs out) HOST: OK...The answer is....QUEEN DAMOX! Let's see how you two fared. Mike has...."Damox"! Correct! You now have 110 points. Hentad has......NOTHING!! Your score has dropped to zero and MIKE NELSON IS OUR NEW CHAMPION! (Mike is speechless) HOST: Mr. Nelson??? Mr. Nelson!!! (Mike comes out of it) HOST: What do you have to say now that you are our champion? MIKE: It's.....very nice. HOST: And you get to come back tomorrow! You are now 500,000 plutons richer! MIKE: Well, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not. I got lucky this time and I'm not about to try this again. Just let me clean up my vomit and port out of here. I can't wait to spend my money! HOST: You heard the man! (to audience) Good night! (off the air) STAGEHAND: Come on, Hentad....you have a dinner date with Dandee! (Stagehand drags Hentad off the stage kicking and screaming. Sound of a door opening and locking. Sound of much chomping ending with a...) DANDEE: (B U R P) HOST: Who are we going to fill the vacant space with? MIKE: Just simply find two more suck-- players for the game! I'm gone! HOST: Wait, Mr. Nelson, before you leave, there is a little matter of tax that should be addressed. Let's see.... 25% for county tax another 5% for game show tax 20% of what's left for playability tax 15% off the original amount for planet tax 30% off of that for exercise tax (Host lists more taxes) HOST: And that leaves you with exactly 34 plutons and 12 credits....enjoy! (to Audience) I need two players for a chance at 500,000 plutons! (Mike ports back to the ship) JOEL: So all that and you didn't even win MOST of the money! I guess there is a lesson to be learned here. CROW: Yeah..only we don't know what it is. TOM: Look on the bright side, Mike. At least you're not dead. Almost.... very close....but you are not dead! MIKE (sarcastic): Well thanks a lot! (to Gypsy) Take us as far away from this place as possible....PLEASE! (The Satellite Of Love travels away from Tantalus III) (back on the planet..)
