Alex: Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. And welcome, ladies and gentlemen. As you know, breaking through the $100,000 mark in winnings on "Jeopardy!" is quite an accomplishment.

CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Austin Baird from Provo, Utah, got engaged in an unusual way.
Austin: I did. I'm lucky enough to be dating the most amazing girl I know, and she was willing to jump off of a 140-foot arch, take an 80-foot drop, swing about 200 feet. Uh, when she finished swinging, I repelled down to her, we were both about 20 feet off the ground, proposed. After she finished being surprised and finished crying, then she said "yes."
Alex: The only way you could have topped that is if you had jumped at the same time, and proposed on the way down.
Austin: Next time--oh!
Alex: Hey.
Austin: [to the camera] Leslie, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
Alex: I did it.
Alex: Marjorie Parker, stay-at-home mom from Austin, Texas who has a treasured possession, which is rather large.
Marjorie: Yes, I have a 1963 Cadillac that was my very first car.
Alex: It's a long car. It would not fit in most garages.
Marjorie: No, it's actually longer than a Chevy Suburban.
Alex: Yeah.
Marjorie: And it takes a lot of gas, too.
Alex: But that's okay. They're fun to have.
Marjorie: Yeah.
Alex: David Menchaca is our champion. Before he came on our program, he, uh, promised his fellow law students that if he won, he would do what?
David: I would, uh, buy everyone at the viewing party a drink.
Alex: Okay.
David: But I didn't tell them what kind of drink.
[Laughter]
David: And they don't know whether or not they're getting it yet, so...
Alex: You've won $91,000 up to today. You can afford it.
TRIPLE STUMPERS IN THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
I MANAGE $600: It wasn't Tinker or Evers but this man who led the Cubs to consecutive World Series wins in 1907 & '08
I MANAGE $800: Cito Gaston took this north of the border team to consecutive titles in 1992 & '93
I MANAGE $1000: In every year but one from 1991 to 2005, he led the Atlanta Braves to division crowns
(Marjorie: Who is David Justice?)
...
(Alex: Less than a minute to go now, Marjorie.)
SCORES AT THE END OF THE JEOPARDY! ROUND
David: $6,800
Marjorie: $3,200
Austin: $2,600
