Except Lee. You were home
sick in Santa Barbara, you said.

:13:05
No, I was home, sick
of Santa Barbara, I said.

:13:08
I like any game
where you don't have to move.

:13:10
Well, you don't have to for this one
if you're smart enough.

:13:13
- Meaning?
- Well, it's sort of...

:13:18
I call it "The Sheila Green
Memorial Gossip Game."

:13:22
- Sounds fascinating.
- And I haven't even described it yet.

:13:26
- I couldn't. I'm stuffed.
- Now, I've dreamed up odds...

:13:29
- Can't you take a joke? Come here.
- Pay attention, please.

:13:32
I dreamed up six secrets,
one for each of you.

:13:34
Six little pretend pieces of gossip.
:13:37
Now keep them secret.
:13:40
Give me.
:13:42
- Can we look at them?
- It'll help.

:13:44
How do you think these things up?
:13:46
"This one's only taken me
a month to prepare, he said modestly."

:13:50
- It's marvelous.
- It's what I've always wanted to be.

:13:55
It says, "You are a snoop."
:13:58
No, don't throw it away. Keep them
till Saturday. And don't show them.

:14:03
Anybody who wants to peek
at mine gets a kiss.

:14:06
What's the game?
:14:08
The idea is to discover everybody's secret.
Without peeking, of course.

:14:11
And prevent the others
from discovering yours.

:14:13
And how do we do that?
:14:15
Every day, we'll park in a different port...
:14:17
where you can discover
the proof of one person's secret.

:14:20
I'll announce what secret it is to look for
and give you a clue...

:14:24
which will tell you what to do
and where to go on shore.

:14:27
Now, if you solve the clue properly,
it'll lead you to where the proof is.

:14:32
Suppose you announce,
let's say, "pyromaniac."

:14:34
Let's say that's my secret.
Why should I bother looking for the proof?

:14:37
Because when the person
whose secret it is discovers the proof...

:14:40
I'll put a card out saying
the game for that evening is over.

:14:44
And those who haven't found it
don't score, right?

:14:46
Right. If you could direct
as fast as you catch on to games...

:14:50
you'd never be a has-been again.
:14:52
- What do we get if we win?
- Better billing.

:14:54
Let's play!
:14:56
According to the old pizza slinger
that runs this tub for me...

:14:59
the launch will be back
to pick you up at 7:00 p.m.
