00:00Hi, I'm Dick Clark and welcome to It Takes Two. This is the game where every answer is a number
00:10and they always average out in the end. I'm really excited today because just about 100 yards or so
00:17away from here, the 12th annual Los Angeles Marathon is in progress right now. Tell you
00:20what, let's take a look at the runner's action. Man, this is one day I'm really glad I have to
00:25work. This way I don't have to lie to my friends who ask me, why wasn't I out running through the
00:30streets of LA? Now in honor of our marathoners, here's some information. Last year in the Boston
00:36Marathon, 37,500 runners entered the event and here is your question. How many feet were registered to
00:45run in the 12th annual Los Angeles Marathon? Now these are the couples who are playing today. Couples,
00:50separate yourselves, write down your answers. You're going to answer that question and we're
00:55going to average each couple's answers together. The couple's answer comes closest to the correct
00:59answer, whether it's higher or lower winds and I'm going to jog back inside the studio
01:03right now and I'll see you in just a minute.
01:04And now here's the man who has all the numbers.
01:23Here's Dick Clark. Thank you very much. You know, a moment ago I asked our three teams the question,
01:37how many feet were registered to run in the 12th annual Los Angeles Marathon? Now they've written
01:42their answers down. Let's see what the answers are. Candace and Russ, I must ask this question,
01:47where did you meet? In a bar. In a bar. Sorry I asked that question.
01:57No, but it's interesting. You've been dating for how long? Four years. Nice to have you with us now.
02:01If you will, please give me the answer to how many feet are registered in the marathon. What'd you think,
02:05Candace? I said 68,000. 68,000. Russ, were you higher or lower? 64,000. You guys,
02:13you obviously didn't compare notes. The average is 66,000 feet. Victor, you and Noreen,
02:19where did you meet? We met in a college class several years ago. Candace and Russ. That's the
02:25kind of answer I'm looking for. Not in a bar. They met at an educational institution. All right,
02:32Victor, Noreen, stand by. Give me your answer, if you will, Victor. How many feet?
02:3460,000. 60,000. A lot of people agreeing here. Noreen? 15,000. 15,000? All right,
02:4237,500 is the answer. And Miriam and Enrique, you've emigrated from Cuba. How many years ago?
02:51About 30 years already. All right. Welcome to our... And I met him since I was born. He's my brother.
02:57You've known him for many years. All right, Miriam, how many feet are registered in this
03:04Los Angeles marathon? Okay, I registered 24,000. 24,000. Enrique, what was your projection?
03:11Well, a little more. 40,000. 40,000. All right. 32,000. Let's run it down here. Candace and Russ at
03:1766,000. Victor and Noreen, 37,500. 32,000 for Miriam and Enrique. The team that comes closest to the
03:24the actual number wins $100. The runner-up gets $75. Now, let's see which team has come the closest.
03:30Boy, she's scared. Where did she come from? The race is over there. Anyway, I wish you wouldn't do
03:39this. Just at least tell me if somebody's going to come running it. Anyway, here's the answer, folks.
03:44Now, let's see who comes the closest. It is 39,995. Victor and Noreen.
03:51Congratulations, Miriam and Enrique. You've done very, very well. You pick up $75.
03:57Candace and Russ, hang in there. Remember, the winning team takes their money home and will play the
04:02brain teaser finale and have a chance at winning our grand prize. And if they hit the number right
04:07on the button on the nose, oh, oh, there he is. The train will bring in a very special prize.
04:13Burton, tell them what it is. It's the Yamaha Wave Runner 3, the best-selling three passenger
04:18watercraft. One of the unreliability add up to fun for everybody. Nothing else is a wave runner.
04:24Yamaha. All compliments of It Takes Two.
04:30All right, away we go. Now, fans of Little House on the Prairie will recognize the face of the sage
04:35brush, sage brush brat. Boy, there's a tongue twister. Nellie Olsen. Today, that woman that little Nellie has
04:42become is a wonderful, lovely improvement. Please say hello to Allison Arngrin. Allison.
04:49How about you? Hello, love. Nice to see you. What's the book? This is a marvelous book. Okay,
04:55I'm a little biased because I'm in it. You're in the book? I'm in. It's Launching Your Child in
04:59Show Business, the book Dick Van Patten has done. And it's very, very informative. And anyone who's even
05:04considering putting their kids in the business should read it. There's a lot of, you know, conjecture,
05:09talk about kids and children. They don't turn out so well sometimes. Not as well as you. Do you
05:13recommend parents read this thing? Is that the idea? Absolutely, because it also is really should
05:16you or shouldn't you? Is your kid cut out for it? And I have a whole chapter and they're talking
05:19about what it was like for me. This is my buddy. All right, I've watched you grow up. Boy,
05:23did you grow up beautifully. Now, you have... Let me put this over here for a second. Please.
05:27You sort of grew up on television in a store where your character did at least. Indeed. Now,
05:32in this show, we stretch the rubber band a little bit. We use any premise to do any silly thing.
05:36Would you step behind the counter? Okay. Are you game for this? Now, I mean,
05:40the woman knows everything about a store. There's a barrel of pickles over here, Allison.
05:44You make me do something weird, aren't you? No, no, no, no, no, no. Now notice, pickles
05:49and a little baggie. This is the pickle bag, the pickle barrel. And this is the pickle proctor over
05:54here. And you've got your tongs. I want you, if you will, to grab a pickle out of there. Hold this,
05:59my dear. All right. One hand at a time. Pop the pickle into the basket. Let me see how well you do. How fast can you do that?
06:04All right. See me do this. There's one. This is the way you used to buy them in a store.
06:08They'd stick them in a baggie and you'd take it out. I'm going to make you do something for me later.
06:11All right. All right. All right. Boom. There's one. All right. That's one.
06:13This is one. This is one. Now, Proctor, start the clock right now.
06:16All right. Here is the turner's couple. Now?
06:18I want you to predict how many pickles Allison will bag during the commercial break.
06:22Couples separate. Write down your predictions. If Allison continues to bag the pickles and doesn't lose it,
06:27we'll have a lot of them up there. We're going to take a little short break right now. Look at her go. All right.
06:34All right. Welcome back to It Takes Two. Allison is still working. One more, Allison, and that's it.
06:57That's it. You may now stop. Wonderful job. Congratulations. Now, get up an answer after
07:02the proctor checks them out. The pickle proctor will check the pickle pouches. What am I doing here?
07:08And we'll figure it all out. Couples, your prediction, that is the closest,
07:11will win $200. The next one is a $100 win to the runner-up. And if I may, Candace and Russ,
07:17how long have you guys been married?
07:19113 days. You count it by the day? He does all the time. Every day.
07:24113 days. I hope this is a good day for you. Candace, how many pickles did she pop in the pouch?
07:28I said 25. She started off as a slow pickle pecker. She looks like she got faster, but I said 25.
07:35All right. Russ? I went with 16. I thought she was moving slow.
07:37And the average is 21. All right. Victor and Noreen, you're not pickle experts by any means. I'm sure,
07:43how many do you? I use all the knowledge of pickles that I could, and I came up with 15.
07:48Oh, no. You didn't give the lady credit for moving very quickly. Noreen?
07:52Well, 13 is my lucky number, and she looks like she can do it twice as fast, so I put 26.
07:56Well, there's female logic for you. My lucky number, and you doubled it. It's 21. Look what we have going
08:01here. Candace and Russ said 21. Victor and Noreen said 21. Miriam and Enrique, what do you have up there?
08:07I said 24. 24. All right. Enrique? I remember my days in Brooklyn. All right. What'd you say,
08:15Enrique? I might have overestimated her pickle packing abilities, so I said 45. All right,
08:21and the average, then, is 35. Therefore, we have... Let me smell that. You're great. Oh!
08:29Does that clear the nasal passages? Can I... Don't slobber on my finger, no? Oh,
08:33I'm getting pickle juice all over the answer here. And I don't have a napkin. I'm sorry. Just
08:38suck on your fingers for a second here. All right, folks. You ready? I guess so.
08:43Okay. Here we go. The real answer is 27. 27. We have a double win. All right. Congratulations.
08:51Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Enjoy your pickle.
08:55Oh. Can you wear the bike? No. No, thank you very much.
09:00Join over there. Now, Candace and Rusk, Victor and Noreen, when we have a tie like that,
09:05that's terrific. You've picked up $100. Was it $200 a piece they won? Yeah.
09:09Oh, wonderful. All right. That's a terrific way to go. $200, $300, $175. Miriam and Enrique,
09:15we've got to catch you up a little bit here. Now, in the meantime, you remember years and years ago,
09:21I can't remember. I think it had to be Chubby Check or somebody. Remember the song where he said,
09:25how low can you go? Well, our next guest undoubtedly will have the answer to that question.
09:30Please say hello to Janice Hutchinson. Janice, this is a limbo bar.
09:38Are you able to slip under this thing with great ease?
09:40Now I can. When did you start doing this sort of thing?
09:43About eight years old. When you were eight years old, so you've had some practice.
09:46Yes, I do. What's the single most difficult thing about slipping under the bar?
09:51I think it's strength of your legs. You need your legs to move you out.
09:55All right. Would you give me an example? Just slip under there once. Let me see you do it.
09:59Pardon me. Open wide. There we go. Then under.
10:04There goes the hand. All right. There's one. Now, we won't count that.
10:10But couples, you saw her do that. It's sort of a demonstration. What I'd like you to do is go
10:15back around the other side and I'll cue you to start. And if you will, start slipping under the bar,
10:20right now. Proctor, keep track. The question is, how many times will she do that during the rest of
10:26our show? Later on in the show, I'll ask you to write down the answers. Our Proctor is all ready
10:30to count there. He's keeping it. And she's going down there once. And see, here she goes again.
10:35Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. And we'll be right back.
10:51Hey, welcome back to It Takes Two. Before we go any further, let's check in on Janice there in the
11:00limbo bar there. She's going under one more time. Oh, she is good at that. Now, when you hear the words,
11:06uh, four score and seven years ago, you immediately think of Abraham Lincoln. When you hear the words,
11:11when in the course of human events, you think of me, Thomas Jefferson. Yes. And don't you ever
11:18forget it. Tom, uh, aside from drafting the, uh, the Declaration of Independence, you have some
11:26other credits. Well, yes, Dick, I single-handedly came up with a little taste treat called ice cream.
11:32That's true. That's true. And of course, I was the brains behind chicken a la king. That's true again.
11:38Thank you. That's the statement. Named after King George. Yes, correct. Yes. Do I win a prize?
11:45Sorry. Sorry about that. Back to the Declaration of Independence, which I must say was my
11:50finest hour. Um, do you know how many people attached their signatures to that document in total
11:57agreement with what I had written? I do know one thing. It was ratified on the 4th of July
12:02of 1776, and it was signed on August 2nd of 1776. How about that? Huh? Huh? Excellent.
12:09All right. Now, couples, here is your question. How many signatures are there on the Declaration
12:16of Independence? Couples, separate yourselves. Turn back to back. Remember, the team closest to the
12:20actual number of signers will win $300. The runner-up gets $150, and they are writing their answers and
12:27putting them in the slots there. Victor, we're waiting on you and Noreen. Miriam and Enrique are
12:31slowly doing it. All right. Pop it in there. Candace, how many were on that sheet? I'm embarrassed
12:38that I really don't know, so... I'm not sure anybody really does, except Tom. 18. 18? Russ? 63.
12:45I tend to think maybe it might have been more than 18, but your average is 41. Victor, how many
12:51signatories were there? I'm thinking 13. 13? A little bit low, I would guess. Noreen?
12:57Well, my answer's a little out there. 115. I mean, John Hancock took up most of the sheet.
13:04You got 64 as an average. Miriam, what do you think? I said 38. Enrique, what was your guess?
13:11I said 32. 32, and the average there will be in the 30s. 35. Let's review briefly. The first one's
13:1641, 64, and 35. Thomas, may I have the first answer, please? The number of signatories to the
13:23Declaration of Independence was? Hmm, interesting. 56. And Victor and Noreen are the closest.
13:31Not bad. You're only off by eight signatures. Candace and Russ, you pick up second place money of $150.
13:37Now, here is your second question. This is worth $400 this time. The runner-up gets $200.
13:43There are 35 paragraphs contained in the Declaration of Independence. Your question is, however,
13:49how many words are there in the Declaration of Independence? Turn back to back. Don't look at each
13:55other. Couples separate. Write down the answers. And how many words are there in the Declaration of
14:01Independence? That is a tough one. Tough one. And we're going to see what Candace and Russ have to
14:07say, Victor and Noreen and Miriam and Enrique. And if you will, please reveal your guesstimate right
14:14now, Candace. How many words? I do declare 212. She said with great strength. Russ? 36,000.
14:24Keep in mind, these people have been married about a hundred days. They may have some other
14:28disagreements as that marriage goes forward. 18,106. Victor and Noreen, what was your
14:33consideration? This time I tried something different. 3,500. What was your basis of that?
14:39Anything? Just a pure guess? I'm using my best knowledge of the Constitution. All right,
14:45we'll see how we'll see how it holds up. Noreen, how many words are in there? I have to even him out,
14:49so I had to worry. 756. The average is 2,128. Miriam, how many words are in the Declaration of Independence?
14:58I thought very little words. We'll say a lot. That's usually true, but I think they may have
15:04gone more than that this time. Enrique, do you have any idea? Well, my best guesstimate is 950.
15:10The average of your scores is 564. Your low men on the totem pole and Candace and Russ, wow, 18,106.
15:19And the other guess was 2,128. Last one, 564. Somebody close? We'll find out, won't we?
15:26Yes, we will. Shall we look together? Sure. Ah. Somebody's not too far off. Not,
15:33but it's not on the button by any means. 1,324. Therefore, Miriam and Enrique were the closest.
15:41Victor and Noreen picked up $200. Miriam and Enrique picked up $400. Thank you. Thank you.
15:47Thomas, nice to have you with us, sir. When we come back, we'll find out who wins our game,
15:53and we'll play the brain teaser finale. I wonder how Janice is. Oh, she's still warming up there.
15:58One more pass under the limbo bar. We'll get the answer to that right after this.
16:02Oh, that woman has stamina. Welcome back to It Takes Two. It's time now to find out how many times
16:22Janice has passed under the limbo bar. Let's make this the last one. Let her complete it.
16:26And, Proctor, call that good. Stop the lady. That's enough. Congratulations. Great job.
16:32All right, team. Separate, if you will. Don't face one another. Turn back to back.
16:36The number of limbo passes you think Janice made is the premise here. She's been limbering,
16:42limboing for 12 minutes. Now, she is very limber, and the team that comes closest to the correct
16:47number of passes wins $1,000 and the game. Now, look what we have going on here. Candice and Russ have
16:53$350. Victor and Noreen have $800. Miriam and Enrique, $575. We have a high, a low, and somebody in
16:59the middle. Whoever wins this $1,000 will win the game. Candice, how many times you go under the bar?
17:0490. 90 times. 152. The audience didn't agree with you, Candice. The average is 121. Victor,
17:12you studied it carefully. How many times did you slip under the limbo bar? 72. Have you ever,
17:17have you ever done that, Noreen? You ever done the limbo dance? Yeah, I think she did, like,
17:22average of four per minute, if you average it out. I think you're all on the low side. Audience,
17:28are you with that? I don't know. Let's see. 121 and 60. Miriam and Enrique, how many times?
17:36I said 49 times. Why? She missed one to be 50.
17:40All right. To make 50. Logic, logic. I shouldn't have asked. Enrique,
17:44you know your sister well. Did you agree with her? No, I would say more like 70.
17:49You and I are on the same page. I agree. There had to be more. Oh, boy, you guys have done it to me.
17:53Look at this. There could be a tie here. We have 60 from Miriam and Enrique. We have
17:58121 from Candice and Russ. And look again, Victor and Noreen said 60, so we'll see what happens here.
18:03Janice, would you bring me the answer, please? Thank you again very, very much. Janice Hutchinson,
18:08ladies and gentlemen. You got an idea? She went under the bar 70 times. We have a double win.
18:22All right. Congratulations to Victor and Noreen. They won $1,800 in total. Miriam and Enrique,
18:32though you got it, they have the total amount of money, so they are indeed the winners.
18:36Congratulations to all. The money is just part of the game. We have other good things in store. We're
18:42gonna go to the brain teaser bonus round, and we've been given a little bit of a hint of what's to come.
18:47All they have to do now is come close to the correct answer, and if they do, Burton, what do they win?
18:52They'll enjoy a week-long vacation at the Radisson Normandy Hotel, minutes away from both old and new San Juan.
19:00It's the perfect spot for shopping, dining, and relaxing in this island paradise. The Radisson Normandy Hotel

19:22have the money in the bank to start with, because when you won the $1,000 that put you with the highest
19:27score, you've got $1,800 so far now. Remember when Allison was over there with the pickles and the
19:32bags and all of that stuff? If you were very observant, you may have noticed that she was putting
19:37the pickles on a scale. Keeping that in mind, here's your question. How many ounces of bagged pickles
19:42did she complete? Victor, how many ounces did she bag? 48. 48. Counting the bags. All right,
19:4848 ounces. Noreen, what do you say? 72. 72. And as quickly as that answer comes through,
19:53we'll find out whether you win the bonus prize. The average is 60. May I quickly have the answer
19:57as fast as you can? Quickly. Allison, I don't have any time. Thank you very much. If the car,
20:02if the number on the card is between 40 and 80, they've won. It's 133. Didn't do it, but you've got
20:08other stuff. Burton, what is it? Congratulations to Victor and Noreen,
