Case #16 ... Krissy!
Krissy: I visited an aquarium today.
Wade: Good for you. How do you find it?
Krissy: It was a little fishy.
[light laughs]
Wade: Please open your case.
$400,000
Like nails scraping down the blackboard!
Case #24 ... Alison!
Alison: Hi, Wade. I'm curious. What's that on your face?
Wade: My eyes, ears, nose and throat, Alison.
[Alison sighs]
Alison: There's a tiny little speck on your forehead!
[Wade pulls out a mirror and sees his face]
Alison: Ha! Ha! Made you look!
Wade: Please open your case.
$200
Low and loving it!
Case #1 ... Claudia!
Claudia: I met this wonderful man today.
Wade: Who is he? Can you describe him?
Claudia: The guy's from Nantucket. He runs a bucket business.
Wade: I have a feeling I know where this is going. I'm sure Miranda knows the same thing.
Claudia: Her? [points to Miranda]
Miranda: Mmm-hmmm.
Wade: Open your case.
$300
And another round is behind us.

Available amounts: $1 $5 $50 $500 $750 $25,000 $75,000 $500,000
Cases available: [4], [8], [9], [12], [18], [22], [26] Your case: [21]
Time to hear from the banker now! [pushes banker's speakerphone button]
Banker: What can I say? You lost your safety net. You're about to lose your mind. I can see you losing that half million real soon. Ha-ha! Anyway. I've dropped your offer! Sixty-two thousand dollars is here on my table for you!
$62,000
Alright, rakuten06, I want to make something clear. If you continue and you take out the half million, the banker's wish to see you not go to college will almost be realized.
Anyway, if you say DEAL, $62,000 will be wired into your account. If you say NO DEAL, you must open up two more cases.
A child could answer this easily, but what about you? Deal ... or No Deal?

Case #22 ... Lianna!
Lianna: Did you see the entertainer that was arrested for theft?
Wade: No. What happened to him?
Lianna: He stole the show!
[drums and cymbals]
Wade: Please open your case.
$500,000
Death wish come true!
Case #4 ... Keltie!
Keltie: I had to call a plumber today. All the pipes were busted.
Wade: All of them?
Keltie: Mm-hmm.
Wade: Did you have to walk through the water or did you use a canoe?
Keltie: Canoe.
Wade: I have a question.
Keltie: Go ahead.
Wade: Was his shirt tucked in nicely in the back?
Keltie: I made such a comment towards the plumber. He said he always buys the oversized shirts for just that reason.
Wade: Are the pipes fixed?
Keltie: He told me the pipes would take up to three weeks to fix ... and that's if he orders them today! And he has no plans to do so.
Wade: Gee, what will you do in the meantime?
Keltie: Perhaps I can make arrangements at the nearby church.
Wade: Bless your heart and open your case.
$5
A nice opening, but hardly bittersweet.

Available amounts: $1 $50 $500 $750 $25,000 $75,000
Cases available: [8], [9], [12], [18], [26] Your case: [21]
You said you need at least $50,000 for college. The odds are slim but possible. Let's hear from the banker now. [pushes speakerphone button]
Banker: I feel like celebrating. I have a fortune cookie in my hand. [brakes fortune cookie to take out paper] It says, "You will leave with a very low amount." Judging by what you did, I believe it ... and you should, too. Your offer dropped like a rock. Maybe a good trade school would be better for you. Sixteen thousand dollars.
$16,000
Well, you can rule out Harvard. We are now at the point in the game where you open only one case at a time.
If you say DEAL, the 16 grand is yours guaranteed. If you say NO DEAL, you must open up one more case. $75,000 is still possible.
You decide now! Deal ... or No Deal?

NO DEAL! 12, please!

Case #12 ... Kendhal!
Kendhal: I'm so hot!
Wade: I can see that. Mmm-hmmm.
Kendhal: No, Wade. It's too hot in here! I'm sweating bullets here.
Wade: Oh. Sorry, Kendhal. I'll get to it after you open your case.
$750
Good round. Good round. Now to lower the temperature on the thermostat.

Available amounts: $1 $50 $500 $25,000 $75,000
Available cases: [8], [9], [18], [26] Your case: [21]
You're still in it. You can still possibly afford going to college. But first ... [pushes speakerphone button]
Banker: WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA TURNING DOWN THE THERMOSTAT!? I WAS FREEZING MY (a-bomb) UP THERE!! Anyway, rakuten, you did okay that round. Take twenty thousand dollars and leave.
$20,000
Alright, rakuten, 20 grand is staring at you in the face. Granted it isn't enough to get you through college, but it might get you through a semester or two. Hopefully, if you do well, you'll get some serious grant money. I hear part-time jobs are available in and around campus.
If you say DEAL, your wallet will be $20,000 heavier. If you say NO DEAL, you must open up one more case.
The button ... it flashes for thee. Deal ... or No Deal?

well, I forgot to tell you. My mom will award me $12,000 when I turn 18, so that leaves me $68,000. So... NO DEAL!!! 18, please!

Case #18 ... Marisa!
Marisa: Nice to see, rakuten, that your mom is very willing to help you out.
Wade: I wish my mom did that.
Marisa: Well, where'd you wind up, Wade?
Wade: Doing an outsourcing job.
Marisa: I guess all the big companies got tired of doing all their complicated work. So they needed help and you stepped in.
Wade: Along with half of India.
Marisa: Yikes! That must be some BIG workplace!
Wade: Yeah, once you get used to the constant smell of the fried rice and chicken masala, it won't be so bad. Alright, Marisa, enough about me. Open your case.
$25,000
Okay.

Cases available: [8], [9], [26] Your case: [21]
Let's hear from the banker. [pushes speakerphone button]
Banker: First off, Wade. What's wrong with the smell food of Indian food, huh? Kind of covers up the flatulence. I fart and nobody will notice. Alright, rakuten, now you ... think of falling off the first step of a ladder .... eighteen thousand, eight hundred dollars. Quote the words of Andy Kirk and his Clouds of Joy: "Take It and Git."
$18,800
I see the banker referred to one of his music books for that R&B reference (Take It and Git was the first #1 hit on Billboard's R&B chart back in 1942). Now for you, rakuten, eighteen eight is right there in front of you.
If you say DEAL, a mouse click will deposit $18,800 into your account. If you say NO DEAL, you must open up one more case.
With that, I asketh thee. Deal ... or No Deal?

Case #9 ... Patricia!
Patricia: Good luck. Hope this isn't the 75 grand.
Wade: Me neither. If it is, it's disaster! Please open your case.
$1
Yay!

Well, it's enough for me to take 1 1/2 year college semesters out of 4 years needed, so... DEAL! If I were to pick out 26 and 8!
