:18:00
But you see, that's what this country
needs, is an intellectual Joe DiMaggio,
:18:03
with the women and the money
and all of it, but from his
brain instead of a bat and ball.
:18:07
- Dan.
- l know. You're probably right.
:18:09
Yeah, boy.
What are we gonna do here ?
:18:14
Well, l could take
a whack at it.
:18:20
Yeah, see, the problem, Professor, is
the old college try ain't gonna do it.
:18:25
And you've seen Stempel.
[ Chuckling ] The guy's unbeatable.
:18:28
l have to admit Tic-Tac-Dough
seemed more feasible.
:18:30
What if we were to put you
on the show--
:18:34
Put you on Twenty-One
and ask you questions that you know.
:18:37
Say, the questions that he answered
correctly on the test this morning.
:18:40
- l-l don't follow you.
- Just thinkin' out loud.
:18:43

were in a bank vault.
:18:46
- ln a way, they are.
- You wanna win, don't you ?

try to beat him honestly.
- What's dishonest ?

When Gregory Peck parachutes
behind enemy lines, do you think
that's really Gregory Peck ?
:18:56
That book that Eisenhower wrote ?
A ghostwriter wrote it. Nobody cares.
:18:59
lt's not like we'd be giving you
the answers. Just 'cause we
know you know, you still know.
:19:02
Right. lt's not like you're
putting me on the show, or Al,
:19:04
and pretending to be
some sort of intellectual.
:19:06
You have put in
years of study and erudition.
:19:09
l mean, l-- l'm just trying
to imagine what Kant would make of this.
:19:13
l don't think
he'd have a problem with it.
:19:15
Think about what this could mean for
the cause of education.
:19:18
Forty million people
will watch you on Twenty-One.
:19:21
lt's not like anybody
has to know. Just us three.
:19:32
lt just doesn't seem right.
:19:35
l-l'd have to say no.
:19:39
Just an idea.
:19:44
Was that part of the test ?
:19:56
- So we're okay.
