To share the segment with you guys
I've been hyping it up this whole morning
I don't know if that means we should be nervous
I know
I'm nervous for you
I hope it works
Okay.
So this quiz segment is called William Shakespeare goes to a house party.
So stay with me.
Imagine William Shakespeare you invite him to a house party you're throwing.
And at house parties, you play a dance hits, like popular songs.
Sure.
So basically what I have are clips of William Shakespeare, or someone pretending to be William Shakespeare, reciting famous party song lyrics, but in Elizabethan Shakespearean English.
And I need you guys to tell me exactly what line of lyric he's actually interpreting.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Here we go.
Number one.
Not any betrothed maidens.
Not any.
betrothed maidens, presently uplift thine palms.
And I can recite it to by myself.
No, I believe the line is, all the single ladies put your hands up.
Yes, not any betrothed maidens, not any betrothed maidens, presently uplift nine palms.
Now you guys know the flavor.
Oh, excuse me, all the single ladies put your hands up.
By Beyoncé, I guess.
Bardiance.
Beyonce, Beyonce.
Am I right?
Am I right, you guys?
Actually, I had a lot of alternate titles for naming this segment.
I just went with William Shakespeare Goes to a House Party, but another one was William shakes his rear.
And who wants to party?
Just, just terrible.
Get out.
Shakespeare, your booty.
All right.
Number two.
I will ne relinquish thee.

No, I'm sorry.
It's never going to give you up.
Oh, sorry.
Never going to let you down.
I'm terrible.
Oh, never going to run around and desert you.
Yes.

Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.

Wow.
This is crazy.
Here's my number, so call me maybe.

I still hate that I know that.
Very good. Very good.
Next one.
Allow hoofs to be fancy-free and wandering.
Disrobe thine mules dawned on the Lord's Day.
Oh.
The line is, I will read it.
Allow hoofs to be fancy-free and wandering.
Disrobe thine mules dawned on the Lord's Day.
And mules is not the animal.
Your shoes.

Many thanks to William Fakesir

That's his name
I'll have to bring him back
DJ William Fakespeare
To our cast of recurring characters
Yeah
Bill X
Oh yeah
So I had to
I initially thought
I was starting to write this quiz
And I was like
Wait a minute
I've done this before
I had one of those Good Job Brain moments where it's like, wait a minute, I'm rewriting an old quiz I've done before.
So I had to go all the way back to Good Job Brain, episode 12, where we did a quiz entitled Last in Line, and it was about famous last lines of movies, mostly, and one book.
So now prepare yourselves for Last In Line 2, the overblown sequel.
This time, more books and still some movies.
Yeah, the line-inating.
Lying hard.
Yeah.
With a vengeance.
Goaloo.
Yes.
And so basically I'm going to give you guys the last lines of some famous books and movies.
Possibly a song.
I'm not really sure.
Maybe.
Who knows?
I'm going to tell you the last line and you just have to tell me the work.
All right.
So, for example, were I to say, he loved Big Brother, you would say, 1984.
Indeed.
Yes.
And there's no, no points for that one.
Yeah.
No points.
That is just the example.
Good. Because I had no one.
Okay. Here's the one they always give you in sophomore year of high school.
So somebody was going to get this one.
Possibly one of the most famous last lines.
So we beat on boats against the current, born back ceaselessly into the past.
Oh, yeah. I do know that. What is that?
Karen.
All quiet on a Western front?
No.
Oh, no. I remember the phrase. I cannot remember.
It is the last line of the Great Gatsby
Ah, yes
All right
Here's another one from your school days
It is a far, far, far better thing that I do
than I have ever done
It is a far, far, far better rest that I go to
Than I have ever known
Karen
Tale of Two Cities
By Charlie Dickens
Yep, Chuck D.
Charlie Dicks
No
It was the devious cruising Rachel
that in her retracing search after her missing children only found another orphan.
It's not friends.
Knowing who or, yeah, it's not friends.
Knowing who or, in this case, what Rachel is would really, really help you.
It's the name of a...
Shit?
Might be.
That was searching for something.
Is it Moby Dick?
It is Mopee Dick.
Oh, what is the Rachel?
I believe it's the boat there on.
Yeah.
Here's one you might know
The creatures outside looked from pig to man
And from man to pig and from man to pig
And from pig to man again
But already it was impossible to say which was which
I believe that's Animal Farm
That is Animal Farm
It's not Charlotte's Web
After all, tomorrow is another day
Colin again
That's gone with the wind
It is yes
By Margaret Mitchell
Here's some back and forth between two characters
This is the final line
The last line would be a little too hard.
There's someone to see you, Lecter.
A young woman says she's from the FBI,
but she seems much too pretty for that if you ask me.
I'll tell her you said no.
What is her name?
Well, it sounds like...
Clarice.
So that is the last line.
The last line of the film is, what is her name?
So what is the film?
Well, it's not Silence of the Lambs.
Right.
So is it was...
Red Dragon?
It's either Manhunter or Red Dragon.
depending on what...
I'm going to go with Manhunter.
Sure.
Man Hunter?
It's not Manhunter
because that was made
before Silence of the Lamb,
so that would make absolutely
no sense as an ending.
Red Dragon.
Yes.
Yeah.
Because that's a prequel.
Yes.
Kevin, what did you do to my room?
Dana.
Home alone.
Yes.
Final line at Home Alone.
Kevin, what did you do to my room?
That's his brother.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With a spider.
Right, right, right.
Yes.
Yeah.
Nice.
Here is, here's one.
Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park.
So have I.
Another back and forth.
Mr. Hammond, after careful consideration, I have decided not to endorse your park.
That's Jurassic Park.
Yes, it is.
I was thinking about Disney.
I was like, oh.
By Michael Crichton.
Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
Oh, Harry Potter.
No.
Not Harry Potter.
Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
Who sleeps in the cupboard?
Indian in the cupboard.
No, no.
Stuart Little.
No, it is a children's movie.
It's a Disney movie.
Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
Final line of a Disney movie.
101 Dalmatians.
They're sleeping in a kitchen covered.
Beauty and the Bees?
Yes.
Oh, shit.
The final line is Chip saying, do I still have to sleep in the cover?
Chip.
Oh.
Another back and forth
between a couple of characters.
There's going to be a blank
because that would just give it away too much.
But blank,
don't forget what happened
to the man that suddenly got everything
he always wanted.
What happened?
He lived happily ever after.
It's a wonderful life?
No.
No.
That does sound like it.
It's a wonderful life
was actually in the previous quiz.
It ends with Adaboy, Clarence.
Was it a Charlie?
Charlie and Chalka factory?
Yeah, yes.
It's Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory.
Yes.
Yes.
That's the final.
and forth.
And finally,
finally,
Eliza,
where the devil are my slippers?
Karen.
Pig million.
No.
My fair lady.
Yes.
Actually,
I should take that back.
I don't think that's the last line in Pygmalion.
I don't think she comes back in Pygmalion.
That's true.
I think her coming back is the happy holiday one ending of my fair lady.
Yes.
Oh, tricky.
Nice.
Nice.
That was good
There were some tricky ones on there
There were, yeah
That was good
The name of this quiz is
Split P
Split P
Yeah
I will read you the definition
of a word
And you tell me the word
And the word
Will contain P-E-A
Oh
Okay
P is in the word
P is in the answer
Got it
But not necessarily in the beginning
It can be in the middle
Anywhere in the word
Yeah
All right
Okay
Oh man
All right
A hat or covering for the head
Chapo
Yes
To vanish
Disappear
Yes
To utter wrongly
Misspeak
Okay
What about an illegal saloon
Or tavern occupied during the American

In peach.
A species of mint growing in moist soil.

Yes.
Oh.
This is the last one.
A telephone with a microphone in output.
Headset.
What?
There's not even a pee in there.
Headset.
Oh.
Speakerphone?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Well, Chris, I think you and I must have been on similar wavelengths.
In preparation, because I also went back to earlier episodes for inspiration.
Sequels are marketable.
They are.
It's right.
It's what kids want to see.
I've already got the merchandising deals tied up.
So I brought back our quiz called Lost in Translation, which we had done before, which
the basic concept was famous movies or books in other languages and how they may or may not
have been funnily translated.
Literally.
Literally.
Right, right, right.
So I put a little bit of a twist on this quiz is called found in translation.
These are the actual popular names of well-known books and movies in other countries.
So I'm going to ask you guys to use your knowledge of French, Spanish, Italian, and German, to work backward and see if you can tell me the original name when I give you the foreign name.
And I think you guys would be surprised at how well you can reason these backward just by your linguistic knowledge.
Do you have an example?
Well, we'll start with an easy one.
How about this?
All right.
Just get a taste.
Yeah, just to get a taste.
So, you know, I mean, you'll see, there's so many, just because.
because there's so much influence of Germanic and Latin and the Latin languages in English.
I think we can piece this together.
Okay.
All right.
Like the terminator.
For example.
We'll be able to figure that out.
I don't know if that's the actual, it should be.
So sometimes these are literal translations of the name and sometimes they allude to things in the book.
So now these are all books and they have also all been made into movies.
So these are well-known English language works.
All right.
So we'll start with one here.
This book, a 1951 edition in German, was titled.
their vice of all.
And remember in German,
W's are a V sound.
Vice means white.
Does Val mean wall?
Whale?
Whale?
Oh.
Moby Dick.
Moby Dick.
All right.
So, pay attention.
This will be a little tricky here.
All right.
If you were to pick up in Italian,
a copy of Guida Galactica
pergly autostopisti.
What would that be?
Guida galactica
pergly otostopisti.
Karen, these are all...
I want to say Star Wars, but all the stuff in the second half doesn't really add together.
Altostopistee.
Attack of the clones?
Auto stoppers.
Stars and the bus stop.
All right.
Tell you what.
Karen.
Okay, I'm just going to piece it together.
Go for it.
Not Guido, but Guido, guide.
Yes.
Hitchhiker's guy to the galaxy?
Yes.
Because I got Galactica.
Guido Galatica, pergly autostopisti.
Which I love hitchhiker as autostopisti.
No.
All right.
Well done.
Well done.
This sweeping epic was known in Italian as Via Colvento.
Chris.
All right.
Well, only because of sweeping epic, this is gone with the wind.
Yes.
We've already brought this up.
Yeah.
And we did.
I mentioned it earlier.
So Volo is like wind.
Via Colvento.
Vento.
Vento.
Right.
The author of this allegorical novel suggested the French title could be Union de Republic Socialist Animal.
Oh.
Chris.
It is his animal farm.
It is animal farm.
Also previously mentioned.
As I said, we were on the same waypoint.
I guess so.
Yes, that was Orwell's suggestion.
I don't think they actually went with that title, though.
It was just La Firm des Animo.
But he was trying.
This classic piece of romantic literature is.
known in French as Orguile
at Prejudge.
Chris.
Pride and prejudice.
Pride and prejudice.
Yes, by Jane Austen.
All right, last one here.
If I were to pick up a copy in Spanish
of Las Uvas de la Ira,
what book would I be reading?
Grapes of Wrath.
The Grapes of Rath.
It helps if you took Spanish.
Like, uvas are grapes in Spanish.
And Ira like ire.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, well, that was really difficult.
Thank you.
I've got to keep you guys on your toes.
Yeah, wow.
I just, I need a drink.
That sounds good.
I should have paid attention in all my, like, language classes growing up.

All right, my turn, and I'm calling this segment,
Capital Capitals.
So what I'm going to do?
I mean, it's going to sound a little bit complicated,
but it's actually not really.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to read you guys a description
that's kind of like a crossword clue.
And I'm asking you for this answer.
And the answer is a sound-alike or a homophobic.
phone of an actual capital city of a country in the world.
Okay, okay.
So it could sound exactly like one, or it could sound sort of kind of like one.
Some allowances for punny.
Okay, all right, okay.
I think we can do this.
So, okay, for example, if I say a common buffalo activity, you would say, Rome.
Yes.
Rome, Italy.
That's clever.
Okay.
That's funny.
So here we go.
Some of these, hopefully they're not.
Not too far of a stretch, but here you go.
Hey, the sandwich place that just opened.

Wow.
He's a cat man.
That's a cat man's do.

Thank you very much for tolerance.
These would be really great to print on the backs of if they made Laffy Taffy for jerks.
Okay, so my next quiz is called, What Would Kianu Do?
So I will name a movie that starred Keanu Reeves, and then you tell me what he did in that movie,
when his occupation was.
Oh, occupation.
Yeah.
All right.
Okay, okay, all right.
All right.
So, for instance, the devil's advocate.

He was, like, he was the courier and it stored it in his head.
Yeah, he was a messenger data courier.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, this is what comes from never having seen that movie.
I think a lot of his movies, you can guess.
What about speed?
It's not a bus driver.
He was a SWAT team member.
Yes.
How about the lake house?
He was an architect.
For bonus, do you know what Sandra Bullock's character did?
She was a doctor.
I guess Colin and I will just leave it.
How about chain reaction?
What movie is that?
I don't even remember that.
I believe Morgan Freeman was the co-star in it.
He owned a chain company.
He was a researcher.
He was a scientist, a researcher.
Yeah, he can totally pull that out too.
A green alternative energy project.
How about Little Buddha?
Oh, actually, well, he was Buddha.
Yes.
Okay.
Job, Buddha.
How about Dracula?
He was Dracula.
No.
Gary Oldman was Dracula.
Oh, okay.
He was.
Oh, he was in Bram Stoker's Dracula?
Yeah.
He was the...
He wasn't the Van Helsing character, though.
No.
He was a researcher, professor, or something like that?
He was a solicitor or a state agent.
Oh.
He came to visit Dracula's castle.
How about Thumb sucker?
I do not.
Babysitter.
No.
That was an indie movie.
I think that dealt with a teenage...
Was he a guidance counselor?
He was a dentist.
Dentist.
I do not remember this one.
It's recent.
Huh.
Yeah.
What about Sweet November?
He was in that with Charlize Theron.
Oh, I know what happened to her.
I don't know about him.
Right.
This is where, like, she's dying or something.
Was he, like, a broker?
Like a financial dude.
He was an advertising executive.
What about Hardball?
hardball hardball what is hardball god which one is that one man he's all sound the sin in a lot of movies

and you felt bad for saying catmandu yet you know what his job was
in hardball.
He's not even embarrassed at all.
All right.
Last one.
The Matrix.
He was a programmer by train.
Man, all of a sudden I realized I'm flashing to the one scene of him in his office.
Yeah, I'm going to say data analyst or something generic like that.
He was the computer programmer.
Slash hacker.
Yes.
But then he becomes Neo.
Yeah.
And his job is Cyber Jesus or whatever.
Cyber Jesus.
Cyber Jesus.
Yeah.
I think of all these jobs, I really, I believe, scientists the most.
You know, like, the way his mouth always kind of hangs open slackly.
That really just says scientists.
What would Canada do?
Everything.
All of the jobs.
I have a word puzzle for everyone.
Get hype.
Woo.
Yes.
This is called, I'm calling it the missing link, and this is what it is all about.
I'm going to say what is probably
a kind of a funny two-word phrase.
And this two-word phrase, the first word of it,
and it would be in a common phrase with another word,
and that would be also the first word of another common phrase.
Is it like beginnings and endings?
It's beginnings and endings sharing a word.
This two-word phrase will have a word that goes in the middle
that will then form two very common two-word phrases.
For example, if I were to say horse shine,
it's kind of funny to think about.
A shoe.
You would say shoe, for shoe and shoe shine.
So let's see.
Oh, so we're guessing the missing middle word.
Yeah, exactly.
The bridge word, if you will.
The bridge word that would cause two well-known two word phrases to appear.
And try not to concentrate too much on the funny mental image of the two unrelated words smashed together.
So here we go.
Stained eye.
Dana.
Glass.
Yes, stained glass and glass eye.
All right.
Skateboard chairs.
Collin?
Wheel?
No.
Oh, actually.
No, not really.
Skateboard wheel.
I mean, it's not quite as good of a phrase as Karen's thinking of.
Deck.
Yes.
Skateboard deck and deck chairs.
Yeah, but it didn't say these had one potential solution, so we'll see where your brains go with this.
Spring call.
Whoa.
Spring call.
Karen.
Roll.
Spring roll and roll call.
Yes, hey, nice job.
All right.
How about garage saw?
Garage saw.
Colin?
Garage band and band saw.
That's right.
Garage band and band saw.
Sandwich dress.
Karen has fallen into the trap.
From which she will never extricate herself.
Sandwich dress.
Particular type of sandwich you might make with a tortilla.
Oh.
Karen?
Yeah, I don't know.
Rap.
Yes.
Sandwich wrap and wrap dress.
Very good.
I was also thinking sack.
Like my grandma used to call it a sandwich sack, and they have a sack dress.

well it's not going to surprise you guys
to learn that I watched a lot of TV as a kid
yeah I know I know I know in fact I watch a lot of TV as an adult as well
yeah and you know I think we've talked before that
one of the hallmarks of a great TV show is often a great theme song
yes yes and you know I remember reading an interview once with Jeff Richmond
you guys know Jeff Richmond Tina Faye's husband
Oh, yes, but he also composed the theme song.
He wrote the 30 rock theme song music.
Dun, dun, da, no way.
Yes, that's cool.
That's right.
And a lot of the musical cues over the life of the show, in fact, he's heavily involved.
But he was saying that, you know, to him a great theme song is you hear the first few seconds of it in the other room and you're like, oh, my show is on.
Oh, sure.
And I think that he absolutely nailed it with a 30 rock theme song.
So in the spirit of all that, I have prepared a quiz for you guys of instrumental theme songs from TV shows that.
that I loved watching growing up.
Cool.
So.
So we got to step into the clock.
Be prepared.
These are going to heavily skew towards shows that we're on when Colin was, yes.
As a child of the late 70s, early 80s.
Yeah.
There's no, there's no show on here that debuted after 1992.
So these are hits from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s.
All right.
So no sweet life of Zach and Cody, no Hannah Montana.
No Sex in the City.
Right.
No Sucing the City.
Right.
Yeah.
All right.
And I wanted to make this a little bit trickier.
I know you guys know Dallas and The Simpsons and X-Files and a lot of the shows that are often show up in these kind of quizzes.
So these are all, so I'm going to play the opening of these instrumental TV theme songs for you guys and buzz in when you want to let me know what show they are from.
And again, these are classics from these 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.
Dana
Alfred Hitchcock presents
The Funeral March of a Marionette is the name of that piece
That is the creepiest name of a song I've ever heard
Yes.
Can dolls die?
Oh, I guess they can.
It's on March.
Yeah.
Isn't that perfect?
It's like a big, like, parade of dolls morning, another doll.
Oh, no.
I also think it's funny.
Just as an aside, you can tell, like, what decade these are from, you know?
Like, you hear the synth pop, you know, it's 80s.
You hear, like, the really soaring earnest strings, you know, it's the 70s.
So I'm not even going to give you guys the decades on these.
I think you'll know.
All right, here we go.
The next one, another big hit.
We're going to be able to be.
Oh, what is it?
I believe it's Miami Vice.
No.
Dana?
Is it 902?
No, you're close.
Is it?
Melrose Place.
It is Melrose Place.
A show I never watched.
Uh-huh.
I wasn't allowed to watch it.
It was too steamy.
Nice.
All right.
Well, here's a show that I'm sure you were probably allowed to watch.
Guess is Gunsmoke.
Deda?
Guess is Gunsmoke?
You're sort of in the right.
Is it Little House on the Prairie?
It is.
Little House on the Prairie?
I just imagine, like, I don't think I know that song, but I can totally see the cast members turning their heads to the camera.
Classic 70s, classic 70s.
My favorite part, I have to say, of the opening credits, was watching The Little Girl Tumble Down the Hill.
That was why I tuned in week after week.
I've never watched that show.
Very wholesome, the opposite of Melrose plays.
This might be one of my favorite TV-themed songs.
Oh.
I'm going to be able to be.
Dana and Karen.
It is the odd couple.
Oh, yes.
I was thinking of Columbo.
It sounded kind of like sexy detective.
Yes, the odd couple.
It sounded like a sexy detective.
Doctor Who better be on his list.
Oh, yeah, early Doctor Who, huh?
Here we go.
Next one.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm going to throw it out there again, see if it works this time.
Is it Miami Vice?
It is Miami Vice.
Which, as we now know, sounds a lot like the theme song to Melrose Plays.
Well, it's funny you say that they added the soaring guitar for the later.
The initial series, they didn't have that guitar.
Some extra rockets.
Sorry, they had to jazz it up with some rock guitar.
I'm just like guessing, because I actually don't know a lot of these shows.
I'm just guessing for what kind of show I know.
It's amazing how much you can pick up from the era just from the music.
You're right about the decades, because when you hear a drum that goes,
Boom!
Like that's, they only made those in the 80s.
All right, here we go.
Going back a little bit for this one.
Oh, everyone.
I think Karen buzzed first, Karen.
Oh, I'm just guessing.
Pink Panther?
You're not, you're in the right spirit, Chris.
Police squad.
No, you're also in the right spirit.
It is get smart.
It is get smart.
Yes.
It's amazing that you all picked up on the parody.
You all? Yeah, we all had the visual image. We were just...
Well done.
A kind of spy police.
Yep, you guys were right on.
All right, if you guys cannot guess the decade on this one, I will be ashamed in all of you.
All right.
Here we go.
Dena
Dugiehouser M-Dooge Houser M-D, yes
Chris knew it too, so 80
All right, last one, guys
Dana and Karen together.
Maguire.
McGiver!
This is so funny how, like, you totally know the songs.
Wait, my God, I love this song.
What's the Quantum Leap song?
It's really similar.
It's very similar.
imagine him like in different costumes but that's also funny that you said it all yeah you're
right star richard dean anderson he's looking at the camera man that was hard that was actually
