00:00What does everybody want?
00:07The last word!
00:09And now, ready to play the game where the last word is worth everything, our players!
00:14A soldier originally from San Antonio, Texas, Tim Taylor!
00:18And his celebrity partner, star of state screen and television, June Lockhart!
00:23And our continuing champion, that French teacher who loves swimming and skiing, Ronnie Morrison!
00:29And her celebrity partner from 8's and 0's, Dick Van Patten!
00:33And now, here are two of the birds to get us started with Martindale!
00:38Thank you, Jennifer Lyle! Thank you!
00:42Hello everybody and welcome to the last word.
00:44Keep some of that going for Jennifer, our co-hosting.
00:47How are you, darling?
00:49How are you?
00:50Hi!
00:51Obviously no one called you because Ronnie and Dick Van Patten and I are all color coordinated.
00:56We've all got mauve on and I'm sorry, I guess you didn't get the phone call.
00:59Well, I keep telling you, call me in the morning, tell me what you guys are going to wear and I'll dress accordingly.
01:03But I do have this color shorts on. Would you like to cut down?
01:09Sit down, Steve. Thank you, darling.
01:11Thank you very much for showing up.
01:13You go over there, I'll go over here before we all get into a peccas bubble.
01:16Okay.
01:17Jennifer Lyle.
01:18You're all color coordinated, isn't it?
01:21Yes, and get us with our blacks over here.
01:23Black and lavender, blue, dilly dilly.
01:26Let's start by saying hello to June Lockhart and her partner, Sergeant Jim Saylor.
01:31June, welcome back.
01:32Good to see you.
01:33Jen with $1,800 in prizes so far.
01:36And our other team of Dick Van Patten and his partner, Ronnie Marzen.
01:41Ronnie with $16,500 in prizes.
01:45Picking up now where we left off, Ronnie won the first game.
01:48That's getting to be an old story, isn't it?
01:49Ronnie won another game.
01:50Anyway, we're about to play the second game of the match and let's have our first puzzle.
01:54Here it is.
01:56We're looking for three words.
01:57All three words have something in common.
01:58You have to come up with the last word to win the game.
02:00And one of these prizes.
02:02Jennifer, what up?
02:03Wink, win the game with one word and you drive away with a car stereo.
02:06With two words, it's a body massager.
02:08And guess all three words, you'll win all three prizes, including this.
02:12Nemo marries the modern look of acrylic to the fun of neon to create the neon telephone.
02:17A great blend of form and function from Nemo Incorporated.
02:20Nice prizes.
02:21We have two out of three games and you get a chance at our 60 second challenge.
02:25Now it's Ronnie playing against June and no help from the partners, please.
02:28Okay.
02:29A tight lip is what we're saying.
02:31We always begin with some free letters and here they are.
02:34Ronnie, you go first.
02:38I'll pass, Wink.
02:39Okay.
02:40Over to you, June Lockhart.
02:41May I take a shot at the top word?
02:42You certainly may do anything you like.
02:44I've changed my mind.
02:45I'd like to hit.
02:47Boy, that was a quick shot.
02:49Oh, no.
02:50Over to you.
02:51Ronnie.
02:52I'd like to guess the top word.
02:53Alright.
02:54Is it puppy?
02:55Puppy.
02:56You got it.
02:57Oh, nice!
02:58Good.
02:59Yes.
03:00Want to go for another word or pass, Ronnie?
03:02Something that goes with puppy.
03:05June?
03:06Papers.
03:07Yeah.
03:08Alright.
03:10Oh, sorry.
03:11Oh, short naps are terrific.
03:13Oh, they really are.
03:14Uh, no.
03:15I have no idea.
03:16Go ahead.
03:17Alright.
03:18Ronnie?
03:19Back to you, June.
03:20Okay.
03:21That clock will catch up with you if you don't want.
03:22Yep.
03:23Go ahead.
03:24Alright.
03:25Get running.
03:26Puppy and something and something.
03:27June?
03:28Puppy was so easy.
03:29Uh, I'll go for the bottom word, doorstep.
03:30Alright.
03:31She girl?
03:32Yes.
03:33Puppy, doorstep.
03:34June, would you like to go for that middle word, which is the middle word?
03:36I haven't.
03:37I haven't.
03:38I haven't.
03:39I haven't.
03:40I haven't.
03:41I haven't.
03:42I haven't.
03:43I haven't.
03:44I haven't.
03:45I haven't.
03:46I haven't.
03:47Honey, would you like to go for that middle word, which is the last word?
03:49Heavens of Vegas.
03:50Go ahead, Ronnie.
03:51Ronnie thinks he knows.
03:52I've got to warn you and Tim.
03:53Alright, Ronnie.
03:54You want to go for a...
03:55I'd like to go for the middle word, the last word.
03:58Is it basket?
04:00Puppy, doorstep, and basket?
04:02Yes?
04:03Yes.
04:08Lovely.
04:09I always have a card here that gives me the three answers.
04:11Puppy, basket, and doorstep.
04:13And usually Steve Friedman puts down a little note at the bottom.
04:16The note here that tells me that all three of those do indeed go together is simply,
04:20aww.
04:21How cute.
04:22Aww.
04:23Well, I thought that was cute anyway, Steve.
04:25Puppy, basket, and doorstep.
04:27Well, congratulations.
04:28Gave you two words, Ronnie.
04:29And that gives you the body massager.
04:31You should enjoy that.
04:32Ooh.
04:33Now then.
04:34Nothing personal.
04:35I just think there's something I'd like to add.
04:37Now then, Ronnie assisted...
04:39Oh, Mr. Spoon.
04:41You really are.
04:42You really are.
04:43Mr. Spoon, yeah.
04:44Ronnie assisted by Dick Van Patten.
04:45We're going to see how much more you can win.
04:47You've been good at these 60 second challenges.
04:49And we'll go to that right after this.
04:51Oh, my God.
04:52Welcome back to The Last Word, everybody.
05:02And this is a part of our show that I look forward to because it really does put this person and that person on the spot.
05:08And folks, don't we love to see these two people on the spot?
05:11Of course we do.
05:12These two people as well.
05:1460 second challenge is what we lovingly call it.
05:17Jennifer, what are they playing for, by the way?
05:18Well, Wink, in addition to the trip to the Caribbean and the trip to San Diego, we're now adding these.
05:23For that extra room, it's Lazy Boy Signature 2 sofa in a wide variety of fabrics featuring a Supreme Comfort Deluxe inner spring mattress.
05:30Lazy Boy, the name America's comfortable with.
05:33And an entertainment center featuring Emerson's beautiful stereo rack system with AM-FM tuning, dual cassette, turntable, and remote control.
05:41Fine tune your life with Emerson.
05:43And the BBE Sonic Maximizer is the most hearable advance in audio technology since high fidelity itself.
05:49It can take all material and put sparkle into it.
05:52The BBE Sonic Maximizer.
05:54And, wink, that's a prize package totaling over $7,500.
05:59By the way, those BBE sound maximizers are terrific.
06:03They make sound sound like sound you haven't heard before.
06:06It just sounds like it's coming from everywhere.
06:08Sound Maximizer.
06:09Your job is to solve 10 puzzles in 60 seconds.
06:12Each correct answer worth $100 in gifts.
06:14Solve all 10 puzzles and you know you get $7,500 in gifts.
06:18Ronnie, by the way, already has $16,850.
06:23So the lady definitely knows what she's doing.
06:26It's a fantastic help now.
06:28Good luck.
06:2960 seconds on the clock and go.
06:31Married church.
06:32Married church.
06:33Pre-church.
06:34Pre-church.
06:35Married altar.
06:36Yeah, altar.
06:37That's a great relay.
06:38Hi, you're one.
06:40With something to do with racing to be a turtle.
06:42The turtle's a relay race, you ain't.
06:45But a baton!
06:47Yes!
06:48You get a sale.
06:49What's your name?
06:51Cake and sale-
06:52Cake and sale.
06:53Somebody can't eat it and strategies for the cake and sale.
06:56A truffle!
06:57Yeah, next.
06:58Oh, there's a robot.
07:00Yeah, next.
07:01Okay, I don't know.
07:02I don't know.
07:04Oh, I don't know.
07:05Yeah, five, four to go.
07:07One, iron, four more.
07:10Yeah, feminine masculine.
07:13Daryl, feminine, girl, Daryl.
07:16Oh, of course, I don't know.
07:19Daryl, yeah, next.
07:22Right, right.
07:25I'm so stuck.
07:27Right, clash, and then it's a clash.
07:30Did you say, yeah, it was clash, and you said crash.
07:35But it was C-L-A-S-H, you got it in, but not in time.
07:38You were great, Tom.
07:41There was one place along the way where Dick was trying to come up with a word,
07:44and you said something that was so outlandish, I don't even remember what it was.
07:48But it was funny at the time to be unscouted.
07:51Anyway, seven of those, $700 in prizes, added to what you already had, Ronnie,
07:55gives you $17,550.
07:59The reason I said outlandish is what we asked him to do
08:04and what they usually do up here is just say whatever comes, you know,
08:07it's a word association thing, and so no matter how outlandish,
08:11sometimes it comes out of the mouth.
08:12Anyway, they did it very well, $16,850, and we're going to take up,
08:16by the way, the next 60-second challenge worth $12,000 in prizes.
08:21Players are going to take Celebrity Partners now

09:41This time, Tim will be playing with Dick,

10:16Hit your starter and go for a letter.
10:20I'll pass.

10:30Uh-huh.
10:33Oh, over to you.
10:35I'll take a letter.
10:38Three words that are related.
10:39That's a penalty, Tim.
10:40You've got to give June a free letter.
10:43Wink, I'll give her the fifth letter in the top word.
10:46Mm-hmm.
10:47How nice.
10:48All right, here we go.
10:50Thanks for the favor, huh?
10:51Yes.
10:52Okay, over to you.
10:53I have no idea.
10:54No thoughts yet?
10:55Nope.
10:56Tim, I'll take a letter.
11:01That's a tough one.
11:02All right, Jim.
11:03Here we go.
11:03Some of these do seem tougher than others.
11:05All right, I'll, uh...
11:07I'll take a...
11:08Yes, let me try the middle word.
11:10Housefly.
11:11Housefly.
11:12That's it.
11:14Just enough letters to show her the word housefly.
11:16Want to go for another word or pass?
11:18Uh, let's see.
11:19No, not now.
11:20You're playing for Ronnie.
11:21Tim playing for himself.
11:22Got to give June a letter.
11:27Make it a good one.
11:28Make it easy on yourself there, Sergeant.
11:30I'll give, uh, June the fourth letter in the bottom word, Wink.
11:34That's a B.
11:35June, does that help at all?
11:36No, it really doesn't a bit.
11:38Okay.
11:38Want to go for another letter?
11:39Uh, now do I do this?
11:40Yes.
11:40All right, here we go.
11:41Uh, oh, my, I don't know.
11:46Time's up, Tim.
11:48Something that goes with a housefly.
11:51Oh, bad news.
11:52Anyone will do, Tim.
11:53Yeah.
11:54Any letter will do, she says, Tim.
11:57Wink, I'll give her the, uh, last letter in the top word.
12:00All right, you don't have much choice, do you?
12:02June?
12:02Oh, Lord, I don't know.
12:03Here we go.
12:06Oh, okay, first, uh, the top word, Beatles.
12:09Beatles.
12:10That's it.
12:11Now all we have left is the last word.
12:14Want to go for the last word for Ronnie, or?
12:16I have no idea.
12:18All right, Tim, you have the chance to win the game.
12:22Two spots left.
12:24I will go for the last word, Wink.
12:27Tim, Tim, let me ask you.
12:29Bad bug.
12:30What is the last word?
12:31Bad bug.
12:32Did you say bad bug?
12:33Yes, I did.
12:33I think you may be right.
12:35Yes.
12:41Remember when your mom and dad, some of you may be too young to remember this, but remember
12:47when mom used to say good night and don't let the bed bugs bite?
12:49Remember that?
12:50Well, I do anyway.
12:52All right.
12:53You had the last word, you win the game.
12:54And on that one word, you picked up the pasta over there, Tim.
12:58And that means we're going to move right on to game number two.
13:00Tim has the first star, the first game.
13:03Coming up to even things up.
13:04Jennifer, what are we playing for?
13:05With one word, you take home crystal.

13:12Elegant Crements 14-carat yellow gold earrings, containing a total of eight full-cut diamonds
13:17weighing over a half carat.
13:19Beautiful jewelry from Crements and Company.
13:22All right, teams, let's get into our new positions now and move into the second game of our third match.
13:27Now Ronnie will play Dick, and Ronnie, you'll get to go first.
13:31First, our puzzle.
13:33And the free letters.
13:36Ronnie, it's your start.
13:39I'll pass.
13:40I'll take a letter.
13:42I'll pass.
13:45Back to you, Ronnie.
13:49I'll have to pass.
13:50Three words that are in some way compatible.
13:51Dick.
13:52I'll take a letter.
13:56Nothing yet?
13:57Okay, Ronnie.
13:59I'd like to guess the bottom word.
14:01What do you think the bottom word is?
14:03Is it booty?
14:05Booty?
14:06Like a baby booty?
14:07Yes, B-O-O-T-T-I-E.
14:09B-O-O-T-T-I-E.
14:12No, after all that work, and it wasn't booty.
14:17Okay, for the bottom word, I can take a letter first?
14:20You can take a letter if you like, but you might hit a penalty.
14:22Oh, I don't want to hit a penalty.
14:24Don't want to do that.
14:25I would like to go for the bottom word.
14:27What do you think it is?
14:28I think it's tootsie.
14:30Is it tootsie?
14:31Thank you, Dick.
14:34Thank you, Tim.
14:35All right.
14:36Do you want to go for another word?
14:37Oh, me?
14:38Something that goes with tootsie.
14:40No, I don't want to do that.
14:40All right, Ronnie.
14:41I'll go for a letter, quick.
14:46Pass.
14:47Dick.
14:47I'll take a letter.
14:53I pass.

15:03No, I'll take a letter.
15:08I pass.
15:09No thoughts yet.
15:10Ronnie, something goes with tootsie.
15:12June, don't say anything to her.
15:14Okay, I'm sorry.
15:16You can't help the partner.
15:19June.
15:19Okay, I would like to go for the middle word.
15:22Dream.
15:24Dream.
15:25Is it dream?
15:27No, it is not dream.
15:28Ronnie.
15:29Oh, gosh.
15:31I have to go for a letter.
15:32Yes.
15:33Oh, wait.
15:33I need a...
15:34Oh, I'd like to guess the top one, please.
15:36What is it?
15:36Could it be...
15:37Hoffman?
15:39Hoffman.
15:40Yes, it is.
15:44Now you're allowed to go for the last word for the game.
15:47I would like to guess the last word, please.
15:49What is it?
15:50It's the middle word, dress.
15:51Dress.
15:52Oh, yes.
15:56All relating, of course, to the movie, Dustin Hoffman's dress, and, of course, the movie,
16:01Tootsie.
16:01You got two words, Ronnie, and you evened up the match at the game of the piece.
16:04You picked up the desk clock.
16:05That means that, Ronnie, you now have a total in prizes of $17,850.
16:13Now we have a match that's all tied up.
16:15We're going to be back with our tiebreaker right after we take this commercial timeout.
16:20Oh, thank you.
16:34Welcome back to the last word, everybody.
16:35And a fun time during our show because it is a tie situation.
16:38We're going to have a winner.
16:39We're going to have a loser.
16:40We're going to find out who that winner and loser will be now for the playoff.
16:43We'll give June and Dick a little rest this time.
16:45Let the two contestants do all the work, which is the way it should be.
16:48Before the show, we toss a coin for this round.
16:50Tim, you'll get to go first.
16:51However, first, Jennifer, what are we going to be playing for?
16:54Wink this time.
16:55With one word, you take home a dartboard.
16:56With two words, you win a clarinet.
16:58And with three words, you'll win all three prizes, including this.
17:02Kauai's electronic keyboard with 20 great sounds built in rhythm patterns
17:06and a powerful digital recorder from Kauai.
17:09Okay, let's have our tie breakers.
17:11Good luck, everybody.
17:13The three letters are A, O, and I, Tim.
17:16Go.
17:17All right.
17:20I'll pass.
17:21I'll go for letter wink.
17:23And I'll pass.
17:25And I'll take a letter wink.
17:26I'll take a letter wink.
17:56Penalty time.
17:59Give him a letter.
17:59I would give him the one, two, three, fourth letter in the top word.
18:03And that letter would be an L, Tim.
18:06Okay, Wink, I'll take a letter.
18:08Okay.
18:12I would like to take a guess at the top word wink.
