00:02This is Juliana, age seven and a half.
00:04This is Jeff, age eight.
00:07This is Leanne, age eight.
00:09These children and others like them
00:11will try to make you understand
00:13what they're talking about on Child's Play.
00:17And here is the host of Child's Play, Bill Cullen.
00:29Thank you all very much.
00:30Hello.
00:31Hi there.
00:33Welcome to Child's Play, a game for grownups.
00:36Before we do anything else, we'll do what we always do.
00:39Introduce our players.
00:40Look at our champion over there.
00:42Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth,
00:43as my mother used to say.
00:45Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:46Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:48Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:49Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:51Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:52Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:54Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:55Butterwouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:57Butter would melt in her mouth.
00:58And my mother used to say,
01:00her fourth day, $11,900, she's won.
01:04She is Deborah Jackson.
01:05Welcome back.
01:09How you doing, Deborah?
01:10Fine.
01:12What would you like us to know about you?
01:13Well, I'm a recent graduate of Cal State,
01:15Los Angeles in Broadcasting.
01:18And I would like to pursue my career
01:20in some kind of Broadcasting company,
01:22such as Network.
01:23May we introduce your challenger,
01:26a lovely young lady, name of Terry Vokas.
01:29Welcome, Terry.
01:30Thank you, Bill.
01:32How are you?
01:33I'm fine, thank you.
01:35What's new in the life of Terry Vokas
01:39that we might be interested to hear?
01:40Well, I'm from Watsonville, California,
01:42up near the salad bowl of the state.
01:45And I have a lovely husband
01:46and a six-year-old daughter, Allie.
01:48Okay, we wish you well, we wish Deborah well,
01:51and we're all about to start the game.
01:53If you're all ready, both of you,
01:54we'll get the challenge played.
01:56You know, of course, but I'll repeat it.
01:57We aimed our cameras at kids or children
01:59who are five to nine years of age.
02:01We asked them to interpret some everyday words.
02:04Your job will be to guess what those words are.
02:06We will, as usual, start the guessing with our champion.
02:08That's you, Deborah.
02:10Before we do anything else for the audience at home
02:12and here in the studio,
02:13here's the word you're playing for.
02:15Well, look who's here,
02:16our budding young little actor friend.
02:19She's nine years old.
02:20Her name is Katie Pulley.
02:22Katie Pulley, she has a way with her.
02:24She's gonna describe the first word.
02:26Katie, dear.
02:27It was Prince John.
02:30Um, as Robin Hood said,
02:34you call me...
02:36You? Yes.
02:37Every man here offers you allegiance.
02:41And, well, it's like if someone says,
02:46here, if you do this for me,
02:48I will give you about five cents.
02:52He doesn't give you five cents.
02:54He just walks off, zooms off in his car, whatever,
02:59and he isn't very nice.
03:02No, but you are, Katie.
03:06Katie gets to me.
03:08Katie gets to me every time.
03:09Deborah, what do you think the word is?
03:11Well, if someone does that to you, you've been taken?
03:14Taken is a very good description,
03:15not exactly what we were looking for.
03:17Remember what Katie said, Terry,
03:19and listen to our friend, eight-year-old Richard Pittman,
03:23as he further describes the word.
03:25Richard.
03:26I remember that from Star Wars.
03:28Hmm.
03:30Um, I think, I think, yeah,
03:32now I think I'm pretty sure what Dr. Peter said.
03:34He said, you are a liar and a blank.
03:38You're on the good guy's team,
03:41and then you learn the plans, right?
03:43And then the bad guys capture, capture you.
03:46And then you become a...
03:48By telling them the plans and going on their team.
03:52Thank you, Richard Pittman.
03:56No flies on Richard.
03:58That sounds...
03:59What do you think the answer is, Terry?
04:00That sounds like a traitor.
04:01It is a traitor, Terry, and that's a good,
04:04a good start for you.
04:07Okay, it gives you a point.
04:08We play Child's Play until time is up.
04:10Whoever is ahead at that point wins $500
04:13and a chance at $5,000.
04:14We'll be back with Child's Play right after this.
04:48Let's play.
04:52Okay, we're back.
04:53I just have to say every once in a while,
04:55a seven and an eight-year-old,
04:56those descriptions, Richard and Katie,
04:58what marvelously intelligent, bright children
05:00we have on this show, they are super.
05:02Okay, now, if you're all set with a word,
05:04or for a word, we're gonna begin with you, Terry.
05:06For the people at home, here comes a word.
05:09Okay, words up there.
05:10This, okay, no comment from me.
05:12Seven and a half-year-old, to describe this,
05:14Terry has the first chance.
05:16What's your name, Juliana Stefanoff?
05:18Juliana.
05:19Well, let's say you're ugly.
05:23Okay.
05:24And you go to a place,
05:27like a beauty salon or some place,
05:29I'm not sure.
05:31And they wax your eyebrows.
05:35They do other things.
05:37They stick needles in your pores,
05:40or in your pimples.
05:43And then, you become beautiful,
05:46because you're ugly, and then you become beautiful.
05:49Thank you, Juliana Stefanoff.
05:51You have a puzzled look on your countenance, Terry.
05:58Certainly, too.
05:59Wanna take a guess?
06:00Change.
06:01Change is a good guess, it's not it.
06:02You ready, Deborah?
06:03Yeah.
06:04You heard what Juliana said.
06:05Listen now to Cassie Feldman.
06:07Cassie gets better all the time.
06:09She's seven years old,
06:10and here's the way she describes the word, Cassie.
06:12Well, I think it is that, like,
06:16if someone doesn't like themselves,
06:19like their look or something,
06:22they would go to this person,
06:25and this person,
06:26they could make the person have a new look.
06:30Like, sometimes, if you're a boy,
06:32and you'd rather be a girl,
06:34you go to a person,
06:35and they could make you into a boy or a girl.
06:43Okay, Deborah, handle that.
06:46Okay, if someone's gonna try to change you
06:48from a boy to a girl, it must be a doctor.
06:52Must be more than that.
06:53No. Must be.
06:56Okay, wrong answer is all I can say.
06:59I haven't given any help with these little assignments.
07:01Terry, we're back to you.
07:02Are you ready?
07:03Oh, boy.
07:04Okay, now, we've heard Juliana,
07:05and we've heard Cassie.
07:06Here comes a new name, Amber Smith.
07:09We've heard Cassie.
07:10Here comes a new name, Amber Sunshine.
07:13What a lovely name.
07:15She's eight years old,
07:16and Amber's describing the same word.
07:19Amber.
07:20It's when, like, you have a face,
07:23and you want to change it,
07:24so you go to this kind of psychiatrist,
07:27and they change your face.
07:28Like, if you have dark hair and short,
07:31you don't like it.
07:33If it's a girl, you can get a long blonde hair.
07:37If you're a boy, you can get the same thing,
07:38but it would look pretty ugly.
07:40Well, now, all I can say, Terry,
07:45all I can possibly say to you
07:47is remember everything you've heard.
07:49Take a little from each, I guess.
07:51What do you think the word is?
07:52Plastic surgeon.
07:53Right, right.
07:57Excellent.
07:59Good.
08:00All right.
08:02Cassie, you know how to play our game.
08:04You took the little gems of wisdom from all of those,
08:07and you lead the game now, two to nothing.
08:10If you want to be a girl and you're a boy,
08:12you can't do it.
08:13Okay, two to nothing, Terry's ahead.
08:15Next word for the people at home.
08:19Okay.
08:20Well, now, ready for you, Deborah?
08:22Here's Jeffrey Nair.
08:23Jeffrey is eight years old,
08:25and Jeff, I want to hear what you do with this.
08:28She kind of looks like Marilyn Monroe,
08:30except she's a little bit different.
08:33She was...
08:36She played this, like, the same kind of roles,
08:38except, like, she's always...
08:41She plays, like, the helpless little woman,
08:44and she was in a lot of romance movies,
08:51and she's hardly ever in any action-packed movies.
08:56She's just usually in romance movies.
08:58She's in... She was...
09:00She worked at the time of, like,
09:02like, in the 50s or something, around in the 50s.
09:06Thank you, Jeffrey Nair.
09:12What do you think, Deborah?
09:14Boy, he gave me a rough one.
09:15Uh-huh.
09:16Let's say he's talking...
09:18Maybe Suzanne Somers.
09:20No.
09:23I would like to say close, but I can't.
09:27Oh, gosh.
09:28This is a good time between clues
09:30for me to give it an admonition.
09:31I lay in every once in a while.
09:33Remember, you're hearing kids talk,
09:35and there's some difference between us and them.
09:37Like, I'm not that smart.
09:39Okay, same word being described for Terry now.
09:42Our little friend from South Carolina,
09:44eight-year-old Molly Turbeville.
09:45Molly, pick it up.
09:47Well, she's this lady,
09:50and she...
09:52She acts lolly dolly and all that stuff,
09:57and she's in a lot of West movies,
10:00and she talks like,
10:01and stuff like that.
10:05And I do my impression of my friends at school,
10:10and they laugh,
10:13and they ask me to do it.
10:17Okay, I'll go,
10:19I was about coming with me to the ball.
10:24And they laugh their heads off.
10:26Hey, Molly.
10:32Molly will be here after I have crossed the bar.
10:35Terry, based on what you heard, what do you think?
10:38Mae West.
10:39All right.
10:40Okay.
10:44We are proud to say we have children
10:46who are not only good describers,
10:48they're darn good impersonators.
10:50It's three for Terry.
10:51Deborah hasn't scored yet.
10:53We're coming up with a new word,
10:54and here it is for the people at home.
10:57Okay, that's the one we're working on.
10:58And to begin, we'll start with you, Terry.
11:01We're gonna have Heather Hoff, who's eight years old.
11:03Heather's from New Jersey,
11:04and here's the way she describes this word, Heather.
11:08Very kind, maybe sharing something,
11:12maybe giving them half of something,
11:14or the whole thing.
11:17Very kind and considerate.
11:20And it's a very nice feeling to have
11:22when you've done this thing and feel that way.
11:28You feel very good.
11:31Like, a few days ago in school,
11:35a girl didn't have any potato chips,
11:37and I had a lot of potato chips.
11:40And she asked me, like, she was way, way at the side of me,
11:47and I just came up and gave her some of them.
11:51And the next day, she asked for them again,
11:54even though I didn't have any.
11:55I knew she was...
11:57But I guess she just likes potato chips.
11:59-¶¶¶
12:03Okay.
12:05Nothing, no comment from me, merely to say,
12:08what do you think the word is, Terry?
12:10She sounds generous.
12:11Generous is right. You're good.
12:13-¶¶¶
12:15That was good.
12:16You are good.
12:17Our children describe well,
12:19but sometimes they do get a bit off the track.
12:21The score is four for Terry.
12:23Deborah has not scored.
12:24When we come back to Child's Play,
12:26we shift gears and play the game for speed in the Fast Play.
12:28We'll be back with Fast Play right now.
12:31Just for you.

13:01Four for Terry. Deborah has not scored.
13:03This is Deborah's chance to catch up,
13:04and of course, Terry's chance to pull way ahead.
13:07We show you a series of children.

13:31Jocelyn.
13:32She is a girl that went through a rabbit hole,
13:35and then a...
13:36That's you, Terry.
13:37Alice in Wonderland.
13:38Alice in Wonderland's right.
13:40Two for you. Score is 60.
13:43Next word, Sean Griffin.
13:44Sean, old boy.
13:46It's hair that goes...
13:48What do you think, Deborah?
13:49Beard.
13:50Beard is the right answer. You have two.
13:51Score is 62.
13:54Zachary Castle with the next one.
13:56Zachary.
13:57It can get sprained and...
14:00This time, Deborah.
14:01Ankle.
14:02Ankle's right. You're up another two points.
14:04Six for Terry, four for Deborah.
14:06Laura Schechter has the next one.
14:08Laura.
14:09Like if somebody's in jail and then will...
14:13What do you think?
14:14Bail.
14:15Nope, incorrect.
14:16The entire rest of the description to Deborah.
14:18Laura, pick it up, please.
14:20Policeman aren't looking.
14:22He gets out and he runs away.
14:25Deborah.
14:26Escape.
14:27Escape is the right answer.
14:28It's tied.
14:29Six for Terry, six for Deborah.
14:33Angela Castellana.
14:35Angela.
14:36If it ain't windy out, it won't work too good.
14:39What do you think?
14:40Kite.
14:41Kite is right on just a little bit of a clue.
14:45Next word, Shalu Larios.
14:47Shalu.
14:48They got lots of horns in the back
14:51and I got a doll of one,
14:55but except he doesn't got it,
14:57that instrument.
14:59And it's like an instrument that you could play
15:02that some Scotland people play.
15:06Deborah.
15:07Bagpipes.
15:08Bagpipes right.
15:09Ten to six.
15:12Here he comes, my friend,
15:14Ronald Wilkinson II.
15:16Ronald.
15:17I don't know if they make you cry,
15:19but they make you happy.
15:21What do you think?
15:22Onions.
15:23Onions right.
15:24You're up 12 to six.
15:27Michael Schwartz with the next one.
15:28Michael.
15:29It's an old art of making people relaxed.
15:33What do you think?
15:35Hypnotism.
15:36No.
15:37Wrong answer.
15:38Rest of it for you, Deborah.
15:39Michael, complete it.
15:41Punch needles into their skin.
15:43Okay.
15:44Acupuncture.
15:45Acupuncture is the right answer, Deborah.
15:47You're up eight to six.
15:48You're in the lead, 16, 14 to six.
15:52You still have time to do it, I think.
15:54Amy Donruso with the next one.
15:56Amy.
15:57It's something that barks.
16:02Yes, Terry.
16:03Dog.
16:04Dog's right.
16:0614, eight.
16:07Molly Macklin has the next one.
16:09Molly.
16:10Well, you use them, like, when your lights go out.
16:14What do you think, Terry?
16:15Candle.
16:16Right.
16:17Josh Goldwurt has the next one.
16:19Josh.
16:20It's orphan mistaken for a wolf or a dog.
16:23Deborah.
16:24Oh.
16:25Consider that wrong.
16:26The rest of the description is all Terry's.
16:28Josh, please.
16:31And in the wild west,
16:33there are always howling at the moon.
16:37And on the Bugs Bunny cartoons,
16:40he's always chasing the roadrunner.
16:43What do you think, Terry?
16:44Coyote.
16:45Coyote, right answer.
16:4614, 12.
16:49Here is Christopher Angian with the next one.
16:52Christopher.
16:53When you go out camping,
16:56you use this to sleep.
16:58That's Terry.
16:59Sleeping bag?
17:00Nope.
17:01Wrong answer.
17:02Rest belongs to Deborah.
17:03Christopher, pick it up, sir.
17:04Bin.
17:06And it's made out of cloth and sticks.
17:12You hold it up.
17:14Yeah, Deborah.
17:15That is the right answer, Deborah.
17:1716 to 12.
17:19That's it.
17:20Time's up.
17:21Deborah, you've done it again.
17:25Great.
17:27You did it again.
17:28Yay!
17:29You're good at that endgame.
17:31You really played that endgame like a...
17:34Come on, like gangbusters or whatever.
17:37Let me talk to Terry here.
17:39Terry, you played a marvelous game.
17:41Now, this has happened to the last three opponents
17:44that Deborah has had.
17:45You've all been excellent as you have, too, Terry.
17:47You played beautifully well.
17:48You had some bad breaks there.
17:50Some early guesses that just didn't work out.
17:52Else, it might have been in another direction.
17:54However, we thank you.
17:55We have some nice gifts for you.
17:57And come see us again.
17:59Good luck.
18:00Terry Focus.
18:01You got $500, champ.
18:02Yeah.
18:03Boy, this is your fourth day here.
18:04When we'll be back, we'll do the triple play bit
18:06and give you a shot for $5,000 more.
18:07Let's do this first.
18:08Would you like that?
18:09Yeah.
18:10I'll buy that.
18:11Okay, you got the $500.
18:13Fourth shot up here, huh?
18:14Yeah.
18:15Time now to try for $5,000 in the triple play game.
18:18Your total winnings now is $12,400.
18:21Now, in the triple play, we asked our child's play kids
18:24to write brief definitions of simple words.
18:26And then we take three definitions of word,
18:28A, B, or C, each written by a different child.
18:31You will have a total of 45 seconds to get six words,
18:34pay you $100 a word.
18:36And if you get them all, you win $5,000.
18:38Bring in the clock.
18:39Now, what do you want to do this time to get relaxed?
18:41Oh, let's see.
18:42Okay.
18:43I'm not going to do anything.
18:44Oh, you're just plain relaxed.
18:45Okay, now the clock will...
18:46No, I'm not.
18:47Well, it's too late.
18:49You can't go back.
18:50You can't go home again.
18:51The clock will begin when you tell me
18:53where you want to start.
18:54Good luck.
18:55B.
18:56Flipper was what?
18:57Dolphin.
18:58C.
18:59Correct.
