''l will take, uh, n-nine--
uh, nine points.''
1:36:04
- lt was all choreographed.
- How to bite my lip.
How to mop my brow.
1:36:09
He told me specifically
not to smear my brow, but rather
to pat for optimum effect.
1:36:13
Of course, l'm shvitzing the
whole time because they turned
off the air conditioning.
1:36:16
- Excuse me ?
- [ People Laughing ]
1:36:20
- That's funny.
- [ Goodwin ] Mr. Chairman.
1:36:24
With your permission, we might
at this point, view a portion
of the program, Twenty-One.
1:36:29
Whenever you're ready.
1:36:39
Herb Stempel, with your $69,500
still at stake--
1:36:43
although now at $2,500 a point--
the category is...
1:36:47
newspapers.
1:36:49
How many points
you wanna try for ?
1:36:52
- There ! There's the lip biting.
- [ People Laughing ]
1:36:55
[ Chairman ] Yes, we see.
1:36:57
Finally, l was told to
open my eyes...
1:37:00
and with a dazzling smile, give
the answer and explode when Jack
Barry says, ''That is right.''
1:37:05
The Emporia Gazette ?
1:37:08
- [ Barry ] That is right !
- [ Stempel Chuckles ]
1:37:11
l don't know where he got it
all. Some article on mass
psychology he read in Esquire.
1:37:16
[ People Laughing ]
1:37:18
[ Stempel Chuckles ]
1:37:21
- l'll try eight points.
- Watch Van Doren.
1:37:23
- He's better at it than l am.
- Mr. Stempel, if l might refer you--
1:37:27
- Are you suggesting that Charles
Van Doren was also coached ?
- Of course he got the answers.
1:37:31
Why would they give me the answers
and not give him the answers ?
1:37:33
Why would they make me
take a dive unless they knew
the other guy would get to 21 ?
1:37:37
lt's illogical. You don't fix one guy
without fixing the other guy.
1:37:41
lt's implausible,
mathematically.
1:37:43
[ Barry ] lt would be, and
you have eight points.
1:37:47
You see ? Look at him. You see
with the brow ? Patting, not smearing.
1:37:52
Mr. Stempel, have you ever received
any psychiatric treatment of any kind ?
1:37:57
What ?
1:37:59
- Uh, Mr. Stempel, l was wondering--
- Mr. Goodwin, please.
